Remi Nicole: ilikemusic because... It is the best way of making you feel any emotion.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.

Alison Moyet: ilikemusic because... No one gets to choose mine for me.
Toe Jam ft David Byrne, Dizzee Rascal
If you are not familiar with The BPA it is rumoured that in the late 70s to the mid 90s Norman Cook and Simon Thornton recorded a number of session with some amazing and talented artists. These session have been collectively known as the BPA.
The legendary BPA (Brighton Port Authority) tapes have recently been discovered after years of intrigue and the first track to be release is Toe Jam, which features David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal.
Shrouded in mystery, the Brighton Port Authority has long been rumoured to exist but until now there has been little evidence of the legendary collective. Found recently in a dusty cardboard box during the development of a Brighton dockside warehouse, a collection of old reel-to-reel tapes have proved to be the Holy Grail for the few who always insisted that the elusive BPA was not a figment of overactive imaginations.
Taken from the unearthed tapes and digitally remastered, 'Toe Jam', the first cast-iron proof of the Brighton Port Authority will be released on the 7th of July. Obviously featuring vocal contributions from David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal, although both men are less than forthcoming when questioned on their involvement, 'Toe Jam' is a horn driven showstopper. Like a heat wave distilled into three-and-a-half minutes of flawless pop, the loose-limbed funk oozes from the double-bass riff as the collective getting busy with the Caribbean grooves.
The world video exclusive on MySpace received in excess of 30,000 views in 2 days and the TV exclusive will air on MTV next week!
A summer sizzler rescued from the archives of the forgotten clan, this is the first assault from The Brighton Port Authority. With the lost tapes now in the open expect much more from the South Coast collective in the coming months.
