Haha, "Course Bruv" is my favorite on that list.

the quote is reynolds description of bruza's persona.

rather suffers from wire style guides: also rather curious occasional pointing-out-the-obvious feeling: do we think Stereotypical Wire Readers know what two-step was?

probably going to bother trying to get more of this than any of their other primers in the past few months, mind.

xposty - favorite inclusion? or favorite record?

if "primer" = "explaining it step-by-step," I can't see how explaining 2step is a problem, really.

idunno. bear in mind that around the time of 21 seconds it was ubiquitous/unavoidable (take yr pick) in the UK, or at least i remember it that way (i was thirteen); i guess i don't really think about the wire's audience extending beyond the UK most of the time, although for all i know it does

I think it is amusing that "Headquarters" is included as it has, as far as I know, never gotten an actual release and apparently won't (not complaining mind you, it is a fantastic track.)

It's a good list. I don't have any complaints and any misses are pretty nitpicky (although a list of the good CD/DVD/mixes and pointers on what websites/shops to find the stuff might have been nice for some folks--I still haven't gotten this issue mind you, so maybe it's included in the summary blurbs.)
