    Timbaland

    He's actually just Fresh Kid Ice with a facelift, telling Danja what to do.

    hardcore classics

    Not really a hardcore track at all but I couldn't think of anywhere else for this ID request. What's the track after Blue Monday in this video? EDIT: No worries, Shazam sorted me out :D Belter of a track though.

    Music Listening Habits

    Riffing on this subject with grizzleb on MSN last night, I realised that the concept of sitting listening to your music at your laptop is much the same as someone 20 years ago sticking a cd on then sitting in front of the deck with their hands on the controls. Before such ease of access and...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Where is this? Istanbul on Paisley Road West definitely do the best ones, they wrap them in foil too so there's none of that soggy shit going on. Turquoise on Oswald Street do a decent one, about half the size of Istanbul's though. Lahmacun with salad & sauce + can of juice for £2.50 at lunch is...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    tvTorrents has all seasons of No Reservations, Good Eats etc. Lahmacuns are too good. Not many place in Glasgow do them, but Istanbul on Paisley Road West (one of the best kebab shops in Glasgow without a doubt) do a particularly good one, and it's large enough to feed two. Just across from The...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    I'll give you an invite to tvtorrents once I get some tomorrow (you have to be a member for 3 months to invite people) and you can DL some good shows from there like Good Eats, No Reservations etc. I watched the Istanbul episode of No Reservations and I want to go there ASAP, so much good food...

    Music Listening Habits

    I find I'm more likely to think about music later, have a melody reverberating around my head etc, if I've enjoyed it as background music earlier on. For some reason a more relaxed approach to listening makes me more open to new music.

    Music Listening Habits

    I had a similar thing to you going on in my teens - no internet, buying music on CD and listening to them obsessively. Since then I've managed to avoid that sort of ADD listening habit that you seem to have fallen in to by chucking new music in to a playlist of new stuff and listening to it as I...

    Demf

    Is it just a coincidence that DEMF is the festival for all that music that goes DEMF DEMF DEMF DEMF? I'll get my coat... On a serious not though, would like to be going but the thought of heading all the way out to the US for a music festival is a bit too much to bear. Have fun!

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Fuck all that other shit and give Fallout your undivided attention for as long as you can. There's nothing quite like the feeling of immersion you get when you're knee deep in a 6 hour Fallout session.

    More MIA

    I'm surprised that she's annoyed about it, she doesn't come off any worse than when she gets on her high horse and spews verbal diarrhea by the all caps fuckload on one of her blog posts.

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Have played 5 hours or so of Red Dead, but I've not played through many of the story missions, hunting bounties and going on errands for random townsfolk is just too fun! A lot more likable than GTA IV for me already though, I found Niko to be quite an abrasive character, and despite his...

    Off Sonar Events 2010

    Anyone heading out to Barcelona this year? A couple of things worth knowing about if you are: Hyperdub/Fact Magazine party, Thursday 17th June Plat du Jour and FACT Magazine present Hyperdub’s official off-Sonar showcase. Kode9’s Hyperdub label has spent the last few years receiving stupid...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Nice :cool: Picked up that Red Dead Redemption today, seems to have been getting some very good reviews which is expected given it's pretty much GTA on a horse in the wild west. Will report back once it's in full swing.

    what you currently enjoying ?

    Aye, there was an article about it a month or so ago, near the time when the tracklist was released. Good album from Murphy once again, but not great like Sound Of Silver. The way the synths kick in on that first track is excellent though, it's a total LCD tour de force. A few too many annoying...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Somewhat ironically given the game you're talking about, I find it near impossible to get any real game playing done between the months of March & October because so much of my leisure time is spent skateboarding. The last game I played much of was Battlefield Bad Company 2, it's a very good...

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    The music itself is great, but almost everything it's associated with is so terrible. It's almost a victim of its own success, the good bands just spawned so many imitators that that watered everything down, and reduced that type of rock to forumulaic pish. Still great for a steaming wail...

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    Aye, but part of its appeal is that it's so bad, not musically, but more in a cultural sense if you get what I mean.

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    Like Benny B, I had a massive thing for britpop from when I was 7 til about 10 or 11, it kind of trailed off after I'd exhausted Be Here Now and learnt to play all the songs on my squire stratocaster :cool: Towards the end of primary school I got massively in to hip hop, and listened pretty much...
