lilly allen with the specials at glastonbury

[Mr. Tea]

All I am saying is that, like everybody else, my choices are a product of a whole swathe of things including advertising...

KONFORMIST SHEEP!!!!11

You're not as gay as Jay-Z though, XXL have outed him again

http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=11084

my coterie of fags to my hag have been swearing up and down for years that Jay-Z is, in fact, gay, and that they'd seen him in the VIP at all kinds of gay bars in LA.

and no, i haven't read any other part of this thread until mistersloane's

 

[swears]

Hi nomadologist, come back and post more.

 

[nomadologist]

hi swears...if it involves outing Jay-Z i am THERE

i was sad to see a lilly allen thread on here for some reason i can't imagine dissensus people into her

 

[nomadologist]

It is you who made this distinction in the first place - between people who use their intelligence (like "us"?) and people who buy their music at Tesco and are influenced by advertising.

All I am saying is that, like everybody else, my choices are a product of a whole swathe of things including advertising, availability, how much cash I have on me, completely irrational things like whether or not the word "Ruby" appears in the title, whether or not it's been recommended by someone, and my "intelligence" or lack thereof.

isn't "us and them" thinking pretty powerless when it comes to the reach of capitalism's influence and all of that? (this is what i think john eden is saying)

 

[Mr. Tea]

Don't worry, everyone's mostly been slagging her off.
Normal service has resumed.

 

[nomadologist]

she's a great example of symbiotic marketing kind of like ashlee simpson was before her

But in her defence, she isn’t as thoroughly artificial as Ashley Simpson. (And LDN and Smile were/are GREAT singles.)

 

[nomadologist]

it's very funny to see chav girls taking on american "urban" signs of yore like those big gold earrings

yaay hi nomad

Urban Dictionary's definitions of Jay-Z are hysterical

Last thing i read was about Lilly Allen.

ALL DAY

I am sick to fucking death of inane, blonde hollyoaks type women.

Yes yes!

Nice one!

 

[vimothy]

And which "controlling propagandist media" appeals to "people like myself"? I've already stated that I don't read The Wire (recently featuring Wiley, Throbbing Gristle, Skulldisco - maybe I should start reading it)- unless you're talking about Dissensus, Woebot, K-punk, Blackdown's blog, etc?

Is it just me or has the Wire been going downhill recently?

Quite the reverse, I think the Wiley and TG issues have been a massive turning point (and not just cos I did one review for them!)

 

[swears]

I think it's cool how Jay-Z is so preppy.

getting derek on board, stelfox doing critical beats etc suggests a return to the 1996-1998 period, which got me buying it in the first place.

Exactly - I think the first one I bought had Photek on the cover...

I always wondered what "critical beats" meant. It's like IDMish stuff, right?

Nah it's just their dance music reviews. "critical" as in crucial AND as in critic/reviewer.
