ATCN were reviewed in Saturday's Guardian Guide. We don't know who Johnny Dee is, but we surely do like him. Not heard the words 'po-faced' for years, so I particularly enjoyed that.
Guardian readers, including Phoebe and myself, where you at ???
I used to be a guardian reader, especially on a certain day when it had the media insert. Uni did the paper for 10p. Due to the credit crunch I can no longer afford regular price so just pick up the free metro and a news of the world treat on a sunday.
I hope its ATCN who muscle through and leave them waste blogs and haters behind. Such blogs that I dont see getting national press. Its a big look. Keep reppin.
I got a feeling ATCN are gonna be the ones to pull a UK 'the hundreds'.
Thats a seriously good look, and the Guardian along with The Mirror are the best papers outthere. The Media Guardian pull-out on a monday is essential reading for me. Peace!!
Can people (in this case, Clav) stop saying the word "still" to finish sentences please? It makes no sense and makes you look like Dizzee Rascal on Newsnight. Enhance your vocabulary. Don't be afraid to be intelligent.
@ the above anonymous - whilst I commend you on the noble if misguided ingenuousness of your statement it does seem rather obvious that my inherent sarcasm is a little lost on you my dear fellow - and if you really think that I need to be educated on the finer points of the English language or even need my vocabulary enhanced due to my supposed fear of being intelligent, then as long as you've graduated from Trinity College (re. Cambridge) with a degree in English Language, with honours might I add, then you may just be in such a position to tell, no, to enlighten me as to what the error of my ways might be... still.
From what roadside.. please i beg! Really what roadside have u ever been on? Have you ever been on the pavements on any sort of illegal grind because lets be real thats what the "roadside" life is.
In reality im quite sure you do not know Clav or anyone else you may be referring to on this blog so therefore cannot make such assertions.
There where no connections whatsoever! However feel free to believe whatever you want to believe.
It's fine if you think that BNTL or any other blog should be there instead of us, they probably should be there, we all should get press and backling like this.
In short, the fact that we have Reggie on the blog is an obvious spot that haters like you can play on.
Biz does alot of press, does alot of shows, and is on radio 1 two tims a week doing the chart show. NEVER MENTIONS THE BLOG. When he easily could. Reg hasn't pulled any strings, and doesn't, and we make a point of this.
atcn are beyond deserving praise and to receive this kind of review this early on is a testament to how dope what you guys are doing is.
whoever choses to pick upon this success and call it anything but deserved has to be not from the same mindset.
when you have come from nothing the small successes like this are valued and commendable so to hate on that you should be ashamed.
speaking as a fan and one of the many regular silent readers id like to say (in my first comment i might add) you are one of the best u.k blogs to come along in years and the piece nailed it when describing the tone of your posts.
other blogs can learn from this, rather than attacking atcn and claiming you are more deserving tighten your game and you could be next...no pun intended.
@ agostinho - that's funny, in your opinion what qualifies some-one as being "from roadside" or "lived the life" exactly?
If you don't know me or my history there's not a lot to comment on really; no disrespect to you but it's just that I went and got an education so that's why I can spell properly...
lIFE IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS FOR MOST, YOU CAN'T KNOCK THAT, NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE BORN A STAR YOU BUILD INTO IT, ONLY A VERY SELECTED FEW CAN GO ALL THE WAY WITHOUT ANY CONNECTIONS AT ALL, CONNECTIONS ARE BUILT THROUGH RESPECT AND GRAFT DON'T DIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY, AND YOUR FINDING IT TOUGH TO GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE CHOSEN FEW THAT CAN DO IT ON THERE OWN.
AND IM SURE THIS BLOG WOULD EXCEL AT AN EVEN FASTER RATE IF PEOPLE WHERE USING THERE CONNECTIONS AT A MORE CONSTANT LEVEL DON'T YOU THINK.
RESPECT FROM ME TO BNTL I THINK YOUR BLOG IS ONE OF THE BEST AROUND, IF NOT THE BEST BUT ATCN ARE DOING THERE OWN THING, THERE OWN WAY AND IF THAT MEANS USING THERE CONNECTIONS THEN SO BE IT.
i was late to this post, and as i scrolled down, i was thinking 'hmm, everyone is being positive, great!1' than BANG!! the usual anon hater. Worse, they quote another blog as well....
I know G.K has already stated the fact that atcn dont use reggie for connections, but if they did, so f*&%ing what? if you're in a postition to give a leg up to something you're involved in, then why not?
I think if you have a genuine criticism about the blog, or just feel it wasnt good enough to get the mention in the paper, then say so... but that was lame.
Well, shouts to ATCN anyway. That guardian article was a good look...

I am a Guardian reader. BUT the paper i bought last saturday freakishly didnt have a Guide in the plastic...
so I missed it!

Good review.
lol at freakishly...
guess the scan will have to do.
BIG UP DOG MAN... I like to think that he, A: reads The Guardian and B: recognizes himself by the moniker that is dog man.
Brazen 10p guardian days were nice... the aim was to rope you in for life. they failed!
Nice little feature, I think Mischa was the first to notice, that's what the word on the streetz is.
Lil Naked Boi comes in second. He put the call into me, and then it was over, everyone knew.
I like the Guardian it's the truth, it's all about left wing favouritism. When we are in The Daily Star we are major, they don't like black people.
to be fair, the daily star don't care about black people, they just like tits.
daily mail is the worst.
Daily mail are wankers.
haha that dude who wrote that is funny still. he blates reads the blog to be down with the kids.
big up the birmingham post
I hope its ATCN who muscle through and leave them waste blogs and haters behind. Such blogs that I dont see getting national press. Its a big look. Keep reppin.
I got a feeling ATCN are gonna be the ones to pull a UK 'the hundreds'.
I always steal the guide out of the guardian so i saw it pretty early.
also, not having to worry about the hassle of getting dressed (due to the naked), i was able to get to the shop double early.
Thats a seriously good look, and the Guardian along with The Mirror are the best papers outthere. The Media Guardian pull-out on a monday is essential reading for me. Peace!!
Lil naked boi totally stole dels' guide! :)
Nice one, ATCN.
Thats a good look
nice 1
Well done folks, if you want to be in any newspaper it's this one!
I'm more of an "Independent" reader myself but big-ups to all still.
Can people (in this case, Clav) stop saying the word "still" to finish sentences please? It makes no sense and makes you look like Dizzee Rascal on Newsnight. Enhance your vocabulary. Don't be afraid to be intelligent.
"Still."

Ya gets me d'ough!?
I can confirm that word on the streets is correct I was indeed the first 1! I have never Yelped so loudly so early on a Saturday Morning!
Ah well done!
thats big.. still
From what roadside.. please i beg! Really what roadside have u ever been on? Have you ever been on the pavements on any sort of illegal grind because lets be real thats what the "roadside" life is.

BADMIND YOUT!
Excellent.. The Guardian is where its at,and It will soon be followed by a spread in the sunday times style .. I can feel it comming LOL
I am just going to be blatant and unreserved.
It should be BNTL all up in that review. Lets be real. ATCN are just running off connections. Wonder how much reggie paid for the kind guardian words?
And yes, I taking it personal because its not deserved.
Are you dumb?
It's fine if you think that BNTL or any other blog should be there instead of us, they probably should be there, we all should get press and backling like this.

So shut your mouth, you don't know anything.
atcn are beyond deserving praise and to receive this kind of review this early on is a testament to how dope what you guys are doing is.

GK and the anon above spoke the truth.
You got aired twice my friend.
