A few years ago I watched The Big Chill and wrote this: For those of us in our 40s and 50s, these are our parents. Maybe we caught a glimpse of this transition in the 1980s and 1990s. It has certain events that mark it, e.g., Fleetwood Mac at the Clinton inauguration. The baby boomers are...

A new thread by @Corpsey. Take it away, Jack!

Nas's opening verse on 'N.Y. State of Mind' The Notorious B.I.G. that everybody likes to sing along to on 'Juicy' Inspektah Deck on 'Triumph' Prodigy on 'Shook Ones Part II'... This thread is for all the other classics:

What kind of pyjamas do you wear?

Our Prince Across the Water has just unearthed a very important cultural and generational artifact which he has asked me to share with you for comment. It's an interview with Harry Love of the Scratch Perverts that is bitter, poignant, profound and fucking hilarious. It tells a story of our...

Event Reminder. This is TONIGHT, starting at 7pm. Special one off appearance of mystery guest TBC. Bring your own booze. No need to RSVP.

I just noticed that we have a member called Evil Archaeology. That's an intriguing name! We used to have Kate Mossad. We also have Arthur Brick and Craner. What other great Dissensus names are there?

Like the Quai's bassist...

I fancy a holiday to Greece next year. Check out the islands, the history, enjoy the weather, the lovely music and fantastic people. Any recommendations?

I have one of these on Friday. I hate them. Anybody got any good stories, tips, preparation strategies, methods for coping, etc. to share to make me feel a bit better about it?

What do you think? Is it true? Is 5G a disruptive, game-changing moment? Who can educate me about this, or has an opinion?

Only joking.

Should it exist? Is it right? What does it mean? If it is junked, what does that mean for aesthetic and moral values? Does civilisation fall? Should it? Does it exist? Etc.

Love this guy. I have so many to share, but maybe you do too. My first: So cosmic. And from throwaway mixtape

Listening to this in the car has reignited my interest in this slim piece of time (97-8?). Speed garage sounds very evocative now and definitely a London thing. I think it's aged pretty well. What is striking though is that a lot of the speed garage guys had a very short productive period -...

So, I've got next week off, and will be watching this until the bitter end, or until I pass out surrounded by empty bottles and an over-spilling ash tray. It's almost here folks. The end of the World as we know it. This is the thread for the build-up, real-time election night gossip and gasps...

I just got this swell compilation called Our Man in Rome, a set of scores and songs from the 1960s Italian spy movie cycle. It’s a prequel to the brilliant Sexy Voices CD which I got ten years ago from the sadly deceased Movie Grooves website and which could often be heard wafting through the...

Is this a bargain, or an annoying rip-off? I'm occasionally tempted to pay the £55 for 3 months so I can gorge on early Penman and Morley album reviews. But...£55?? I could buy a bunch of books for that.

The last few visits to the dentist have been a bit worrying. I've been paying for private dental checks for years, without any problems. I have never had a filling in my life, my teeth are still long and strong. Year in year out, my dentist gives me a clean bill of health, the hygienist gives...
