I've become interested in this of late, in a rather abstract way (i.e. all I know about it is that a style of music called this exists, and that it is something to do with hip-hop and funk), but it's mentioned in a novel I read recently, and my mum saw fit to but me a book about it for some...

is really funny isn't it? When I was younger I lived in this amazing townhouse that was really tall with a shielded roof and me and my flatmate would sit up there hurling vegetables and water bombs at people. Good times. I haven't chucked anything at anyone for years...

My mate was telling me about these things called parmos that Northern people eat when they're drunk. I've become obsessed with trying one. The second picture on this page is especially appalling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmo

I've only knowingly heard two of their songs: What Makes you Think you're the One (which I like) and The Chain (which I don't), though there was a tramp in my hometown who was reputed to be Peter Green but (obviously) wasn't. Quite like the idea of them, but have never heard or read someone...

Right, you can't pick Autumn or Spring because I don't really know what they are. Pluses of each: Winter: stew is cheap to make, DVDs are cheap to rent Summer: you can drink outside, you don't have to turn the heating on. This is a stupid thread, isn't it?

Spurred on by news of Quicksilver Messenger Service reissues, and the revelation that Jerry Garcia wanted to make his guitar sound like a jet plane, I am starting a thread devoted to hairy, ill-groomed individuals making an open-ended mescalin racket. I know very little about this sort of thing...

I am bored today.

Which do you prefer, and why?

Oh, never mind.

There's something to be said for constantly rinsing the same sort of thing, isn't there? You can sort of commune with it, like Carlos Casteneda and a stick of incense. In this case its old tapes of Stretch and Bobbito on WKCR. These were like gold to me and my friends in the late 90s (we used to...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/mar/25/sainsburys-basics-range I used to live with this guy who had a very useful mental catalogue of products you could save money on, and ones that were worth paying extra for. Tesco's own brand bourbon is rocking. As is their own superlager. Oh...

Has a new one out. Anyone heard it?

Is he any good? I know almost nothing about him, other than that he was in Genesis (not a great start, obviously).

I have a (very) passing knowledge of Goblin, but was unaware of Simonetti's disco-y work. I heard a tune under the name Kasso ('Dancing on the Beach') on Mr Trick and wrongtom's excellent podcast, and absolutely love it. I'm sure there's more than a wealth of Simonetti knowledge on here, so get...

I'm quite in the mood to read one of these, only I don't want to feel as though Nick Love is screaming in my face about people being a bit 'norty'. Any reccomendations?

I've never heard this record and do quite want it to be good, even though post-VU Lou Reed generally causes me immense displeasure. Anyone?

I don't have a strong accent, though I daresay one could tell I'm from the South East of England. You?

I'm a former soldier of both The Hampton Wick Crips and Tha Strawberry Hill Punx. Has anyone been in a crapper gang than either of those?

WHY WON'T HE GO AWAY? http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/dec/15/paulmccartney-thebeatles what claims might he come up with next? He invented chips? He can hold his breath for three days? He's a ninjafarmer? Incidentally, I don't care if anything he says is true or not, I just want him to...

I am really, really bored at work today so I am going to start a thread about Kiss, even though they are basically fucking rubbish, except for: Do you love me? Torpedo Girl Crazy nights black diamond (this is wicked by anyone's standards) Cold Gin Strutter Other than that, they are horrendous...
