From the latest FT Focus Group review of Panjabi MC "Mundian To Bach Ke":

"Living in Edmonton is to hear bhnagra on the edges, every class had a few Indian kids, and they would take you to the ethnic grocery stores with badly labeled tapes on a back shelf. You would pick one up and have the most complex rush since garlic Nan mopping up cheap curry. Purists bitch that it is not strictly bhangra, but anyone who puts the magic on hip hop radio deserves some credit—they should play this at the beginning of Post Colonialism classes, cause I cant think of a better example of east-west commerce. 8 (AE)"

Much kudos for that one, Anthony.

this one's easy. Sasha Frere-Jones: "The band has also released a two-DVD set of live footage called, hilariously, DVD. Because it is footage of Led Zeppelin playing live, it is the best film ever made."

...b-b-but Al Ewing isn't from Canada?!?

Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 19 September 2003 08:23 (twenty-two years ago)

ah I'm probably wrong.

No, AE equals Anthony Easton for this one.

That Frere-Jones review of Led Zeppelin is my favorite piece of music criticism I've read in years....it made me want to jump around the room in joy.
