    The Class Antagonism of Tolerant Multiculturalism

    What really made me angry was the statement read out from Big Brother's producer. (I think it was a producer, could have just been a Channel 4 rep) 1) Apparently Big Brother doesn't condone rascism or bullying. It might not condone overt or clear-cut racism, but as is clear from the mixed...

    Rave revival?

    So, Romo was a failed attempt at a 1981 revival in 1995? I remember this! Probably the only copy of the Melody Maker i ever bought! The same issue with a review of the Smashing Pumpkins' "Melon Collie Anf The Infinite Sadness" with a picture of them in a trolley? .....Anyway.. Yeah, who were...

    Albums/artists you just DON'T GET.

    Er... since when has Pop music NOT been about the producer, NOT been about the PRODUCT> The Beatles realised that music could be about timbre, feeling, sound, image, movement, as well as musicality. Ditto Timberlake/ Jackson/ Pistols/ Miles etc:: thats why the Rolling Stones are my particular...

    Turd

    You should tour down here in Cornwall, where for most bands its 1991 constantly. Although, there is competition on the horizon in the form of slightly newer bands who think its 1979 constantly.

    Clothes

    There seems to be quite a few lanky lads on here, no? Well, when it comes to clothes i too am a fucking disaster. I'm 6'1 and have a 30" waist: what looks good on me is like some fucking cruel raffle. ie: not much. The high street is really, utter, utter shit. 30" trousers or jeans soon end up...

    Bass: Infrasound, Dread & The Uncanny

    I love the idea of sound as a weapon - I remember reading somewhere once that the British army once tested infrasound or ultrabass or whatever on protesting crowds in Northern Ireland. Apprently because a certain level of it can induce nausea and sickness ie; pretty hard to protest when your...

    T Shirt Art Design

    Alright everybody- I've been mincing about with some ideas for t-shirts for a while now, took me a while to finally finish them. i was originally going to go as professional as possible - start a brand so to speak-. But fuck me if there aren't far too many as it is. Anyway, still not entirely...

    (the inevitable dumb) BEST OF '06 (thread)

    Cunts most in need of a kicking .... Definitely agree: the Fratellis, the Feeling, the Kooks, Razorlight, etc. Basically the NME (No More Excitement) fucking dickhead student roster. To all Big-Sweeping-Tony-And-Guy-Fringe-plus-scarf-and-Converse wannabes, take your vintage rolling stones tour...

    TV on the Radio

    'I was a lover' is definitely the best thing on there for sure, the rest of the album dies a slow, disapointing death. Best band in NYC? I like TVOTR, but Gang Gang Dance and Battles utterly utterly beast them I honestly think that 'God's Money' is the best album of the last 3 years...

    Scanner Darkly

    Of the 20 minutes i've seen, the rotoscoping ltechnique ooked horrible- cheap, nasty, and boneheadedly obvious-- And Downey junior just comes across as a smug bastard, as per usual. Still, i'll obviously have abetter reference when i've seen the whole thing...

    OK time to fess up

    I always can't help loving Usher's singles: 'Pop Your collar', 'You Remind Me', 'Yeah', that ballad that came after that got to number 1. 50 Cent, Babycakes, and that new Shakira tune aswell. Loved Ciara, too. Also, working in hot, sweaty kitchens where adrenaline becomes your greatest...

    i-Pod #**$%%

    I've got one of these, 40gb-- unfortunately, i dropped it with the import cable in and now i can't really use it to transfer data!!!! no one seems to be able to fix it either....really frustrating.. Still, great for recording while on the move, and its also quite industrial looking so you don't...

    Hip-Hop - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Yeah, i would hope that dissensus members, given their usually superb critical faculties, wouldn't stoop so low as to criticise a record because its popular with students and people who aren't into 'real hiphop'... As far as i remember, it took about 3 years before it was popularised with that...

    wire the band

    A touch late, and perhaps unessessary but i'll throw my 2p in anyway. Yeah, couldn't help feel a little disappointed hearing Pink Flag after the Jon Savage compilation On Returning, and then Chairs missing, both of which are absolutely brilliant, hands down. Even on the pretext of it being lots...

    Marketing Festivals

    I absolutely agree. There seems to be about 5 new ones per summer. (Usually featuring Goldfrapp i've noticed?) I think in a lot of cases, its perhaps to do with the idea of a festival giving a local area a bit of a boost and cashing in on the aforementioned festival atmos: a bullshit washed-out...
