Dear Poetry Aficionados, IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags It's a wide-ranging week and a full one too for poets and poetry in the news. The articles we link to come from all over the world, and cover people and places, scientific study and religion, books and films, prisoners and birds, the ancient and the current, war and peace, and so much more. No unified theory of poetry here, but a lot of compelling...
The Hyperdub night at Corsica Studios (Elephant & Castle) was excellent on Saturday, with two awesome live appearances. Kode 9 and Spaceape were intense, but due to moving around, saying hello to folks and then being squeezed to the back, I only caught the latter half of the set. I was luckier for King Midas Sound - squeezed at the front instead - and they were outstanding on their first London...
I’d been meaning to write something on the very solid King Midas Sound collaboration between singer/poet Roger Robinson and British dubstep deacon Kevin Martin, or as he is more popularly known around these parts, The Bug. However, the ever-dependable Nate Patrin does my homework for me with his Pitchfork review: “every strength this record holds, [...]
What Dave Segal recently wrote about the darkling sounds of King Midas Sound : [Producer] Kevin Martin and vocalist Roger Robinson strikes me as a fantastical fantasy project hatched from two of Charles Mudede's biggest musical crushes—Burial and Tricky. The duo's album on Hyperdub, Waiting for You... (due in November), sounds like an ideal merging of those artists' phenomenal talents. Difference...
by Mark Silva There's just one thing about being president that has really annoyed him, President Barack Obama says: The flak he caught for taking his wife to New York City for a Broadway play and dinner, a campaign promise kept. "People made it into a political issue," Obama tells the New York Times Magazine , in an interview about the first family's marriage featured in Sunday's magazine....
King Midas Sound ( producer Kevin Martin and vocalist Roger Robinson ) strikes me as a fantastical fantasy project hatched from two of Charles Mudede's biggest musical crushes— Burial and Tricky . The duo's album on Hyperdub , Waiting for You... (due in November), sounds like an ideal merging of those artists' phenomenal talents. Difference is, Robinson can really sing, emitting creamy, soulful...

Red Circle: The Web #1 - Review Writer: J Michael Straczynski Artist: Roger Robinson Well, after two pretty slow Red Circle One-Shots, this just got good. This was actually the issue I was least looking forward to because I thought the idea of the character was pretty stupid, i.e. a superhero who can be contacted via the internet to help solve your problems. Well I was wrong and this issue was great....

I first met Roger in the mid 1990s when he was performing with a poetry outfit called Chocolate Art. We’ve known each other ever since and I have to say that Roger is one of the nicest people I know. He’s also an incredibly generous person, offering advice to other writers, being supportive and sharing [...]
KING MIDAS SOUND / DABRYE / FLYING LOTUS Cool Out EP (Dabrye / Flying Lotus Mixes) Hyperdub DUBSTEP / GRIME / FUNKY 12" Back in stock. First thing's first - we really need to get it off our chests - Dabrye's version of 'One Ting' is not only for our money the best thing he's ever done (by some distance), it's also one of the most beautifully addictive, surprising things we've heard this year and...
...or under the Arctic ice shelf, or the Dead Sea... Aquaman apologists trot this one out every so often, and he even uses it himself here: while Superman or Batman just have to worry about land-based problems, Aquaman has a lot more ground to cover...and I totally wrecked that metaphor. Shoot. The point they make, is that Aquaman's whole beat is all of the world's bodies of water, below or above the...
