    Trim - Soulfood

    I'm glad people are liking this so much. I think he's by far the most talented MC in grime or, maybe, to have come out of grime so far. I love the way he's always on point, but that his bars disobey a lot of grime's conventions (volume, rhyme schemes etc). rather than flow, he kind of oozes all...

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    Jaie, really, take it somewhere else. In case you've forgotten it's that kind of stupid shit that started this whole thing in the first place.

    BBE's Spectrum comps

    Ah, we were talking about these the other night. The Jazz Spectrum comps were really fantastic and heartily recommended

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    well, i never wanted anyone to leave dissensus as a result of this. i also think it's absolutely unecessary. all i did was publicly state that one thread was very ill advised, that it didn't fit with the tone of dissensus, that it was offensive and should probably be binned for the sake of all...

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    oh dear, it has absolutely nothing to do with that. i don't hate anyone, particularly not anyone who i've never met. i absolutely believe it possible to buy heroin anywhere on earth. most people are just good enough to keep it relatively quiet, that's all. it's the constant derailment of...

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    there's nothing weird about it. nothing cynical or scary. dissensus is not a metaphor for the wider world. it's a message board, it was set up to be a smart polite and relatively undramatic alternative to the other options. lately it's often looked like a total freakshow, which has nothing to do...

    Forum Leaders - We Are The Mods

    matt offered me this privilege quite some time ago and i never took him up on it, but i'd like to now. i will commence banning people forthwith.

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    i don't really think that absolutely uncensored weirdness was what this board was intended for, that's all. it was a relatively nice, remarkably unfucked-up corner of the internet for a quite a while, barely needed moderating, and maintains many of those characteristics to this day. i don't...

    disappearance of ambient/chill out rooms?

    i don't really understand the question zhao. you are aware of garage being a US creation, distinct from yet closely related to house, right?

    Yo as gender-neutral pronoun

    From what I remember of official statistics Baltimore is somewhere around about 65 percent black, 30 percent white and has a pretty negligible, but growing, Latino population. It's far from "obvious" that the root of this word would be Spanish. If you had ever been there, you'd be unlikely to...

    disappearance of ambient/chill out rooms?

    well, the chill-out room is a very specific thing really and was pretty much like that at most techno/hardcore things for a good while. it only really changed with jungle. the idea of room 2, however, is much more interesting than the chill-out room. after all, everyone knows that the second...

    censorship on dissensus: the disappearance of the confessions thread

    yes... uncensored self-expression is a good thing, it's a concept at the base of most tolerant and democratic societies. thank you to the defenders of the free world for pointing this out. the flipside of this is that a considerate individual should also possess the ability to shut up occasionally.

    Monday Morning Munchies: Ultimate Spaghetti on Toast (To The Max)

    and my response to this recipe: why not have some real spaghetti, use a tin of tomatoes, some garlic, onions and herbs to make a sauce, throw the salami in... one actually pretty decent meal and probably just as cheap. german salami should never be eaten either. if you're not german there's...

    Monday Morning Munchies: Ultimate Spaghetti on Toast (To The Max)

    everyone has heard a story about someone who made a bathtub full of dahl or porridge, spent all their money on booze or stereo equipment, and got rickets or some bizarre disease only ever seen in third-world countries these days. i think most of them are apocryphal

    Clothes

    whatever happened to the pastel ocean pacific sweats with the big backprints? they were kind disgusting, but cool at the same time. i once borrowed one from a friend at school, wore it in the middle of winter with a rubber swimming hat and bermuda shorts while carrying a cardboard replica...

    Clothes

    Le Shark stuff is hilariously ironic. It's so shite that it would be awesome to wear. I actually want to stage a one-man ocean pacific revival at the moment.

    disappearance of ambient/chill out rooms?

    there's just less necessity for them these days. when ecstasy was strong and trippy and people were taking hallucinogens, too, a space to regroup and smoke some weed was pretty useful. now that the drugs have changed and you can't smoke indoors, it's not really so important. while liking plenty...
