Hello I do embarassing workaday shit for a living that I'm not going to tell anyone about. My favourite karaoke tune is "It's a small world after all".

<i>blackstrobe essential mix</i> Bloody hell, they get more goth by the minute don't they? Sisters of mercy! I'm just listening to Stanley Turrentine "Salt Song" and the Best of Roland Kirk over and over right now.

Marz's "the river" listened to on headphones because the repeated refrain "If we return we will live here forever" combined with images of jumping in rivers and oceans and the pastoral melancholy of the glockenspiel (?) melody made me think of my ex and all our fantasies of escaping the city and...

Oh yeah, also: Kano - "leave me alone" and "Love is here to stay" are on Aftershock too, aren't they? I actually really dislike both those tunes for the awful singing on the hook and lacklustre performance from Kano, but they're quite typical of this year's "Aftershock sound", just not as...

Crazy Titch - "I can cu" has got to be on there... Bruza - "Bruzin" is okay also, not great tho.

Anybody else get the whole "none of us want to listen to your weird music again, lets just put coldplay on" thing from colleagues? They have Coldplay, Chill Out compilations and Dido on constant rotation. My triumph of the year was when we had a client in specifically to talk about music and I...

My friend's uncle is Bahamian and has one of those houses over a river on stilts where the shitter just drops straight into the water. There were tons of groupers under the house (I think they ate the poo) and you could catch them with a piece of hotdog on a hook dangled on a piece of string...

I love these. They're great. My gran studied drosophila and had hundreds of pictures of them all over her house. Wasps are the sexiest insects to draw, I reckon. <IMG SRC="http://www.agnr.umd.edu/MCE/Publications/Graphics/eb248-paperwasp.jpg"> How come these people don't get famous? <IMG...

...and craploads more. Good year.

You don't realise how good y'all have it. I'd rather read Richard Littlejohn than "The Straits Times" singapore's anodyne, heavily censored national paper. Francis Ween is good. I like those columns he does where he buries politicians' bullshit under a mountain of carefully researched facts...

They're owned by Frito-Lay, the US snack giant, if I'm not wrong. I guess that makes 'em even more british...

Lil Wyte and 666 Mafia - "I sho will" (sounds like garage!) Lil Boosie and Mr Magic - "I smoke, I drank" (original is so much better than the youngbloodz one) Elephant Man - "Bun bad mind" Think Twice - "ITWFM" Juvenile - "Nolia clap" Paul Wall, Mike Jones and Chamillionaire - "Still tippin'"...

God has given us a dark wine so potent that, drinking it, we leave the two worlds God has put into the form of hashish a power to deliver the taster from self-consciousness God has made sleep so that it erases every thought. God made Majnun love Layla so much that just her dog would cause...

...obv it's a cover of the original by the Dells...

Record Shack Talking of Ian Levine I have a tune on his "record shack" label that I've always wanted to know more about, and this thread seems a good place to ask. It's by Steve Grant and it's called "Run for cover" and it basically sounds like a cross between Northern Soul and hi-nrg - it's...

It's that "haven't listened to it for a while", that's what's wrong with it. I, and everybody else, had it on repeat for a month or so when it first came out and haven't felt the need to listen to it since. Whereas Dizzee and Wiley (for example) are still getting play. I dunno, it's a very up...

I believe the starting point on this thread was "traditionally we're down on people who collect music in order to assert some sort of superiority (which we can label cool) but maybe that search for superiority through music taste isn't intrinsically a bad thing" Then there was a bit of chat...

Stopping smoking is a piece of piss. Quitting media is much harder. I don't want to look at the toilet door while shitting. Maybe I should...
