if ghost town was the brixton riots soundtrack (or ice cube's tear this MF up was for the LA riots), what is it for the riots in london this year?

'if only we'd listened to more grime, we'd understand where the looters are coming from' - a broadsheet columnist

think that actual column got linked on the other thread somewhere

professorgreen Professor Green
Please take a step back and think of the damage this is doing long term... Please stop harming our own communities.

professorgreen Professor Green
Positive can come from all of this, but why did it take a death to find unity, and then why unite to do wrong? Let's make good of this.

professorgreen Professor Green
these riots are gonna bring an awful lot to a head. don't let it become a race ting. that's not what this is.

professorgreen Professor Green
There's a lot of thick people. Looking into how we got here and the faults in our society is in no way excusing or justifying...

professorgreen Professor Green
... the disgusting behaviour which has taken place, but it won't end with catching and punishing. prevention is better than cure.

The song that keeps creeping into my head, along with Ghost Town, Guns of Brixton etc is "We Only Come Out At Night" by Smashing Pumpkins, for some reason.

Why'd You Wanna Tweet Me So Bad? (dog latin), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 09:38 (fifteen years ago)

Reading posts on FB and Twitter, it seems there is no such thing as "The Bleedin' Obvious" to many many people. Good for Professor Green.

Babylon's Burning has the right panicky aggro mood. Plus sirens. And Police and Thieves obviously - only that's more a bystander/victim's song.

It's strange. Most music from the last 10 years sounds kind of empty and meaningless right now. Stuff sounds so joyously trite in this context. Kinda depressing. I guess I should try and lighten up.

Dirtee Cash is a really underrated lyric. Incredibly OTM.
