Demo of new song sketched over Christmas 14. THAT's the single!

The Last 1, by Harry Irvine

Your correspondent, fresh off a holiday plane, grabs a last-minute chance to talk to the great Sasha H. 

What's not recorded here is that 'back in the studio' Richard Sanderson and Rob Flint always accompanied interviews by asking the subject to choose a tune they liked. Hemon - and you're ahead of me here - chose The Stooges

Aleksandar Hemon on Nowhere Man

Recorded June 2007 to support the release of Back to Bizznizz, at the Edinburgh Cellars in Newington Green. Had been commissioned for the paper but because Alexis Petridis was reviewing the album, it was decided that my article would be spiked in print.

It did – eventually – run on the website, and can be found here:

Some of the quotes in the piece you won't recognise if you have the patience to listen to the whole chat ting, because the album had become oldish news, so there was a follow-up phoner focusing of Police on My Back, released soon after the album as a single.

For your correspondent it had been a long and awful day at the office and I came away thinking what an awful, awful professional performance I had put in. Listening seven years later, I'm a bit mumbly and tongue-tied, but the material is of interest. And I'm delighted to be reminded of the moment Bizz was dazzled and beguiled by my latest big fat obviously fake bling watch. "It's like a, a Rolex or something. A big Rolex."

A very nice, livewire ambitious but open and friendly young man. Pow!


Lethal Bizzle on grime, punk and David Cameron

Mick Hall having a gleefully obscene fun in Denmark. Moderately NSFW. Listen to the way Kristal is sung if you mistakle this for misogyny.

Our good friend beyond almost any possible alternative.
