    Funky/London/UK House

    Found this on an internet trawl tonight, not seen it mentioned here so I'll share (though I'll be jiggered if I understand how to paste Soundcloud links properly, so you'll have to click through innit): Lil Silva remix of Kreayshawn "Gucci Gucci" I'm not entirely sure I like it, though. That...

    Dissensible Soccer

    God, I really am relentlessly shit at this. If I didn't have Aguero I'd be in single figures.

    3000

    Also, if you become the 3000th member, you must post in this thread and proclaim your glory. Or I've wasted my time, yours and everyone else's.

    3000

    2999 members on Dissensus. Come on lurkers, why not sign up and be the threethousandth? (Which is a horrendously ugly word, albeit correct.) I think that's a fairly commendable landmark for any forum, even if perhaps only 300 of those are anything close to regular posters and a large chunk are...

    late 90s tech-step

    I gave this a listen and it isn't bad, so I retract my previous comment partially. Still a forgettable compilation, though.

    Watch a star's death throes through your own telescope/binoculars: TONIGHT!

    Perhaps they just have big telescopes pointed at every part of the sky and someone checks them every so often for anomalies. Neutrinos sounds right but I haven't even read any Hawking so my knowledge is threadbare, I just like looking at the sky. Shame there was nothing to be seen tonight.

    Rustie

    Tch, still no love? (Hucks and Hopper aside, and Hopper didn't mention Rustie so that doesn't count.) Ultra Thizz is monumentally ace, come on. Look, here it is on youtube: That's some single of the year business. (I've listened to it three times while writing this post, and it keeps getting...

    late 90s tech-step

    Yes, agreed. Not so much this tune specifically but definitely this sound was the beginning of the end for me. A pox on Renegade Hardware and all their ilk. I spent the years 98-04 having to listen to every new d'n'b record as part of my job and I got really tired of each record trying to...

    Watch a star's death throes through your own telescope/binoculars: TONIGHT!

    Gah, first check of Dissensus of the day and I'm too late to have seen this. Not that I know where me bins are, mind you, I appear to have mislaid them whilst moving house. What did you see, Mr Tea? Was it spectacular?

    Rustie

    Verging on priapismic excitement about the upcoming "Glass Swords" album. Join me. Tasters thus far: All Nite (first track in the player) and Ultra Thizz. They're both so joyous and peculiar and unique and squelchy. "Ultra Thizz" defeated my left-footed brand of skanking with its juddery...

    Should I be ashamed?

    Yes, on the Venga-Bus.

    4 Stars (or: The reviewing of art vs. the art of reviewing)

    I very much meant that specific phrase. I'm all for "this is comparable to..." (with justification as to why, of course) but just plucking the first vaguely similar example and saying "you'll like this too" is presumptuous and lazy. It's entirely possible that 3 stars is the average score...

    Actress / Nail the cross

    Just got back from seeing Actress and Lukid at the Shacklewell Arms, and I think the right word is 'nonplussed'. It was alright, like, but that's as far as I'd go. I tend to think it's more headphones music than dancefloor, based solely on drunken empirical evidence tonight. It never seemed to...

    Coin-ops (games/fruit machines/pinball/etc)

    I know there's a gaming thread elsewhere, but reading the news that London's biggest games arcade has closed made me want to discuss amusement arcades in general, and the reasons for their near-death. Funland's demise is unwelcome but not unexpected news - I’m pretty sure that most other cities...

    Tattoos

    I can't think of anything I like enough or have sufficient conviction in to have printed on a t-shirt, let alone drilled into my flesh. 5 years of dating a diabetic (not any more, I should add) has given me a somewhat complicated relationship with needles, too. Agreed with Slowtrain on...

    Jack White and ICP cover a Mozart ditty about rimming (no, seriously)

    So that's a second track on the 'Songs about rimming' mixtape, then. (The first being 'My Neck, My Back' by Khia.) Though you could perhaps argue a case for 'Around The World' by Daft Punk, if you accept the Profanisaurus definition of 'around the world'.

    favourite headline ever

    That Folkestone thing is ace, and compounded by the 'top stories' (in the sidebar) - "Giant Cat", "Cash Blown" and (my favourite, inevitably) "Big Chiefs".

    Should I be ashamed?

    You didn't choose the best title for the thread, then. Sucked me right in. Anyway, the prolix nature of the thread (hand-wringing from me, snootiness from zhao, some trance recommendations, discussing why r&b has suddenly turned into Gatecrasher circa 1997, stuff about Electro house, a man...

    4 Stars (or: The reviewing of art vs. the art of reviewing)

    I think this is an important point, Rich. The (undoubtedly true) inference is that most people don't read reviews or do research or seek to obtain any other views, 'expert' or otherwise, before parting with their cash. Was it ever thus? Sadly, I think it was to some extent. I tend to fall back...

    accent-ism

    I'm from Suffolk, though my parents are not, so I never developed an accent per se - like Mr Tea, I'd consider mine to just be a generic southern accent. (You know - 'grarse', 'barth' - elongated vowels and, I suppose, leaning more towards RP than not.) The Suffolk accent is incredible, though...
