The Hundred Voyages of Version

[version]

I still find it jarring that a band like that are named after a dildo.

Tucking your shirt in is cool again version

Yeah, but that's if you're wearing cool clothes in the first place. It doesn't really matter anyway tbh. Whatever's comfortable. I'm just anxious about turning into my dad.

😂

 

[version]

I think I'll do three more then stop at 25 for the time being.

 

[Corpsey]

Everyone's anxious about that and it still happens.

I had a flash of insight recently that until you're in your mid-late 30s you think you'll never turn into your dad because you only knew your dad when he was in his mid-late 30s/40s. Then you reach that age when you first knew your dad and you realise you are your dad.

This is a tune I feel I should hate just from looking at how he’s dressed on the cover, but I don’t. I really don’t. Admittedly the snare’s far too intrusive, particularly for a member of a band regularly praised for the quality of their sound, but other than that… The only downside is it makes me feel like a middle-aged man who tucks his shirt into his trousers.

this snare is inexcusable good god

Are we doing bets? I got money on 'Friendo' landing somewhere in the next 15

What I imagine to be the aural equivalent of standing atop Everest teary-eyed, exhausted and in awe at The Creation. Also I think he's flipped and mangled a Morricone sample here. I'm sure he's used it a few times too.

Watch out for your ears.

It really is that drum n bass snare isn't it. It reminds me of 'Piper' by Jonny L.

It's not quite St. Anger level, but it's one of the worst I've heard.

I like a lot of Mark Fell’s stuff, but this one (with Mat Steel) takes the cake. One of the earlier tunes before they really started breaking apart house and garage. As far as I’m concerned, it could go on forever. Immaculate. Also one of the few people to play an entire Boiler Room set wearing a rucksack.

I somehow managed to convince Woebot that she was my aunt.

WAIT YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T TRUE 🤨😡🤬

Someone should make a bot that adds this to everyone's Wikipedia bio.

Even Claudia Schiffer's?

Starring in Guy Ritchie's upcoming Elvis Costello biopic.

His aim is true.

 

[version]

The thing with that snare is it's like a clock that's just too loud to fully tune out.

I don't recognise the Morricone sample. That's really good though, until precisely 1.37, the rest is inexcusable.

This sounds very Herbert to me. I like this sound, but I could never be bothered to dig into it. I like this one a lot, though.
