there's techno and there's "techno" and I think it's a fallacy to assume that everyone discussing this or taking part in the article means the same thing. There are so many different axes of dance music now, and they might cross over in interesting ways depending on a DJ's style etc, but...

oh 100% guaranteed Britain would have carried on being racist homophobic TERF island regardless, but the Royal Family has done nothing to distance itself from the brand either. I don't think it's a simple as a binary "dismantle the institution" vs "complicit in colonialism" but the fact there...

also for what it's worth I'm in my early 30s as are most of my peers, and I have seen a lot of outpourings of grief and sympathy for the family. I'd say the split is probably 60/40 in terms of hating the royals versus being saddened by the news and defending the family, which is a lot less than...

if you're going to be a symbolic figurehead then you have to be aware of what you symbolise. You can try to tell me she was a good person all you like, she was married to a man who wasn't just racist but used racism as a tool to endear himself to "ordinary people" based on a belief that it made...

Big Beat to me feels like a rock approach to dance music - big recognisable riffs, gimmicks over grooves, icons over anonymity - in a way that streetsoul and Fell From The Sun doesn't. Or at least, big beat is to Britpop what this stuff is to shoegaze.

fwiw i've heard increasing amounts of people do this

I don't

who gets to keep the house?

I got that Basia record last year for 30p!

a different Mr Marvin mix of that ends this (amazing) mix

every time I hear "culture war" as a phrase, I want to hear it substituted with, "hate speech being tolerated"

there is no world where Peel's status, power and acclaim was not a factor of influence on anyone he met in his years of relative fame. It was something that shaped these encounters and relationships, and to pretend it isn't exploitative or abusive is to allow people to continue to benefit from...

I found it a bit hyperbolic and cringey, and I'm pretty much a Beyonce stan at this point

https://www.backoffscotland.com/ this has been gathering a bit of steam in Scotland. I'm not sure how I feel about it - I hate these pro-life nutters who protest and harass women at the doorstep of a clinic, but I also don't like the idea of restricting protest anywhere. I want to be able to...

I thought this was a meta thread taking shots tbh

football is finally interesting

I thought it was a Casualty spin-off about a travelling locum for years. Saturday night TV and all that.

they're all bad uns, really, aren't they

Kevin Bridges is even funnier to Scottish people because the observations are so specific and detailed and accurate it's hard to not recognise them in your own life. Britain seems to have no interest in new talent. Tangential but I've noticed that 15-20 years ago there were always new faces...

in that case she can keep it
