In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough.

As a sort of offshoot of the 2000s worst decade ever thread I suppose. I'm fond of them even though they're undeniably lame and weedy Rap, grime, dancehall, and nuum primarily ofc, but other stuff is welcome if it's good

Nobody's off limits Not even your friends You gon' suffer, you gon' suffer...

Enjoying reading poetry a bit more recently, probably cos I only get to read without distractions for short snatches of time, and I left all my books behind when i moved to spain - no more picking things up for cheap in 2nd hand bookshops. Whats worth spalshing out on?

Sufi: some phrases are kind of standard like ya lel ya leil means oh the night, then there are generally lot of shout outs and so on, so a lot of it is spontaneous but wthin some sort of framework i reckon, it's not a track though that is like one actual song, at least not until it gets...

1927! Mindblowing What other recordings achieve a similar atmosphere?

The sort of thing geeky audiophiles test their equipment with. Give me some suggestions any genre, I've just got some nice new headphones.

What are the good ones? And who has the best line in the song? (Any genre) Inspired by hearing this again for first time in ages and realising how classic it is I reckon Diddy himself takes it with: Yeah living the raw deal three course meals spaghetti, fettuccine and veal But still...

(Roughly 2005 to 2010ish?) This is when I belatedly got into grime, when it was definitely past its peak but still there was always 2 or 3 gems on most mixtapes in amongst swathes of filler. So let's remember what they were. Wiley - If you're going out I'm going out too

Stuff that fed into the uk rave scene and reminds you of hardcore, basically. House, techno and hip hop colliding. Samples, breakbeats, divas and feverish energy. Not boring. Almost anything goes if its from NY in the given timeframe but please keep it ravey - there's already a deep house and...

Might be a good accompaniment to the rave era as recapitulation of the 60s thread. To start... The Doors: This version has the Doors AND the Beatles:

YMG - colossal youth

I'm in favour of abolition. Here's some quotes from the corbyn thread (who is in favour of decriminalisation, as is mr tea) Maybe so, but the issue effects everybody. You don't have to have direct experience of sex-work to have an opinion. You DO need to be informed though, and there is plenty...
