it was a big one on the radio phone ins similar to the one where "we were all actually starting to get along" before me too was invented

LOOOOL fkn ell

when was the most recent "different time" with the letterbox piccaninnes stuff loads of people saying oh it was the mid noughties we all had watermelon smiles back then

yeah corse thought thats what i was saying but theres also the thing of that feeling when you happen to encounter, say, a bit of music where you squirm, seize up, hairs stand up, look around shiftily, make sure no one mistakes you for the kind of person who likes this! and maybe trusting that...

i'm all about trying, try all day mate, i love trying. just not setting yourself up for failure with a self deceiving sense of debased inadequacy when you can't sustain whatever "real listening" is supposed to mean. granted no one has said that here. but putting on different hats, examining your...

big fan of that format went for a big cycle last night which just felt like normal night shift, the eerie thing which i hadn't thought about were the corona billboards, huge reassuring jamie theakston and amanda holden saying we're in this together from heart fm, one of those things you...

the neuroses about taste have been around for centuries. you had people in the 1850s who would have gravitated to certain things because they marked you out as being relatively loose, unrepressed by your parents culture, and people who cultivated other tastes that signify their discerning...

hey if it worked for captain al hubbard it cant be that bad

its the “as free as possible” bit that seems important. this might sound lazy but “the act of delineating, the process of stepping outside” is an impersonal, social process as well. so i could say, casually, i’ve “stepped outside” my character armour for 5 minutes and heard that madonna song...

its weird reveals all these creases and nubbins you never knew about

with music writing though, even if it is defunct or whatever, i like the idea of stuff which is squarely focused on plotting the bodily sensations of the music as they happen as best as possible, but i also really like the stuff where the pet shop boys record is second fiddle to the real show...

i used to work with this guy who was hardcore anti helmet, worst mistake of my life was cycling to that job he never shut up about it. out of all the possible causes to commit yourself he chose anti helmet campaigning

so many of the important reasons i like the music i happen to like have to do with contextual factors, information about the people responsible, what it might say about me by extension and who it might annoy, especially. these are very important hangups that i am not interested in shedding...

he must be wild and dangerous like me, cycling is the best for listening to music, espically radio cos you can go to different parts of town and get a whole set of new stations

i agree with you but i dont know if ive actually met any of these noble dusty self important blokes but then again ive only met 12 people

as my dad would say previously people could happily go about their lives without having their face rubbed in the fact that the romantic artist figure has always been a cheerleader for capitalism but now its everywhere you look

its just that all these personalised markers of good taste feel more mediated and marketed by the evil bastards who rule the world than they might have in a bygone era

the artisan consumer side is irritating cos of the mass scale its on though right, if it was just you and your crew who knew then it might not feel so stifling. like nothing makes me want to make music less than tastefully edited youtube tutorials but that probably has more to do with me being a...

seeing it advertised like that is annoying sure, but , colour me a reactionary teenage incel, sometimes it can make a slight difference in that you're not seeing someone whos just downloaded a baile funk mix that afternoon, theres a certain obsessive commitment to getting all those records etc...
