  • The Abandoned Mansions of London

    The Abandoned Mansions of London

    There are quite a few mansions in London which are empty – appallingly given the housing crisis. Whole areas are bought up by foreign (and probably dodgy) oligarchs and left to rot, an investment rather than a home. Here is a fascinating look at the dilapidated towers of capitalism in one street in North London.…

  • RC 282: Ladies First

    RC 282: Ladies First

    This is a response to the frankly whack Guardian listicle about the greatest female rappers that James (hi!) sent to me and Kirk. 4/10 – that’s not only my ‘see me after class’ score, it’s also the paltry amount I agree with. Ladies first, well last in this case. It reads like some bored intern…

    Is it asking too much, of my favorite friends,to take these songs for real.Is it asking too much, of my partner’s hands,to take these songs for real? It’s just over 20 years since coming out, so I thought given all the current 90’s nostalgia I’d (re)create a mix of music that I was listening to…

  • The Week Between

    The Week Between

    And now we’re in what Kirk calls the ‘Hinterland’ – the week between Xmas and New Year. Still eating leftovers and recovering at Radio Clash Towers and about to go meet Kirk for a drink, but this song by the Santa-esque John Roderick and Jonathan Coulton says it all. Bittersweet and lazy…hope you had a…
