| I mean that I find images and coverage of the riots (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14453918) extremely atmospheric and engrossing, to the point they've been influencing the music I want to listen and the mood I'm in. |

| Spoken, more inflection on 'mas' or 'vibes'? |

| In a faux-Jamaican accent, like a true junglist souljah. |

"massive VIBES" or "MASsive vibes?"

The only thing I've heard in Leeds is police dealing with "small pockets of unrest" in Chapeltown, which is about five miles out from the city. Everything seems very calm here - you wouldn't know anything was happening. |
All I know for sure in the mids, Brum on the main street, go down that every time I visit there, and Nottingham, they ended up in some area after failing to break into the main victoria shopping centre. |

Lulz.
I still await your response, System-J. |

| On which syllable are you placing greater emphasis, if spoken? I've never heard the phrase, so I'm curious. |

Erm... I don't know. How does anyone say those two words? I'm not sure I've ever said, or heard anyone say "massive vibes" out loud before. It was a semi-serious reference to junglist terminology. Vibes used to be common club slang for the mood or atmosphere - the NME's section on dance music back in the 1990s used to be called Vibes - and massive is a favourite superlative. "Massive tune - feel the vibes!" etc. etc.
UK hardcore mutations are filled with sonic recreations of social fragmentation, inner-city anger and underground resistance. Seeing this imagery puts me in the mood for neurofunk and dubstep. It doesn't mean I condone the violence or want to get involved, but there's a certain edge to the music lacking just about everywhere else these days, and when violence like this actually breaks out, and becomes fetishised and hyper-realised by the media, jungle's latent threat actually starts to draw blood. |

Well, . :mad:
Read it aloud and let me know the result. |
