EDIT: Version has advised me to changed the title. Now open for party tricks/savant abilities/areas of expertise/cultivated talents.

I didn't catch this at the cinema but I got the BluRay in the post yesterday and watched it last night. Parasite lived up to the hype. Along with being thrilling, shocking, funny, tragic and beautifully shot, etc., it stuck around in my brain after the credits rolled. I kept thinking about the...

Question: Why is 4/20 associated with smoking weed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture) "In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California,[5][6] used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by...

RULE: You have to be under the influence to post here. Consider this the musical extension of the 'Intoxication Log' thread. Current state: 2 Guinness cans down (plus some weed) ? after a fortnight of not drinking. I'm in that misty fog of intoxication where something like this sounds...

Strictly nicked 4rom ILX (David Drake for the most part, in this case)... Cos I'm not honestly that into new rap anymore (For all i know) but I know there's ppl around like WebEschatology and Crowley who still have their ears to the ground and I'd like to hear the stuff they think's good. This...

Talk about anything you want to talk about which it isn't worth creating a thread about. Good idea? Bad idea? Let's talk about it.

I just wanted to post this somewhere, and already did a COTD. Public Image - Radio 4 I've been listening to a bunch of 70s music atm, inspired by reading various 70s rock critics (Lester bangs, nick Kent, Ian MacDonald) — oh, and Woebot's 'Book of Woe'! — and Bangs exhorted me to listen to...

Must have bought this on Kindle a while back but I saw it on Amazon today and realised I'd just not downloaded it. I've only dipped my toes in so far but it's brilliant. Great to see luminaries such as Luke Davies and Oliver Craner getting shouted out in the intro too.

Craner rightly rejected my nomination of Patrice Rushen. So who actually qualifies? We can turn this into a discussion about genius vs scenius or whatever, too.

- I was walking in the park yesterday, from which you can see the shard and various other skyscrapers on the horizon. And I thought to myself how they look so distant now. Not just geographically, but temporally. That central London is now just a memory. You know that it's not functioning as it...

Alright, let's be having it. We've all been thinking about it, haven't we? Wondering. And now we're all on lockdown. We need a beacon of hope in this wasteland. What Simon picks shall be graven in stone and discussed, dissected, applauded, rejected, in music discussion forums far and wide...

I watch this at least 3 times a week. I also regularly tune into his Twitch channel. I just downloaded and started listening to his autobiography and it's great. Really honest about his experience growing up and predictably quite funny too. I miss his Vines

UK and US. I know before you start that there are many other influences going around (Jamaica springs to mind). Generally speaking, I am guessing, this has been a *relatively* one way street, but we're now seeing a lot of back and forth influencing going on between US and UK rap music.

What do you make of it? Are They the bovine herd, who'll whistle anything if it's rammed down their ears? Are They mostly uninterested in music, and so are as impressed by a catchy chorus as a caveman being shown an etch a sketch? Are They hopelessly sentimental, convention-bound, fundamentally...

Third I presume you know this! I want to listen to non Spotify shit while out and about on my phone so YouTube isn't an option. (Unless I start paying for it I guess.)

Almost 100 years old. A time to ask questions like - is it still modern? Is it still relevant? What on earth is it all about? Is it elitist and misanthropic? Is it any good? I've got the Norton edition with footnotes and critical commentary. You can read it online, and in annotated form here...

Prompted by the uncut gems/gambling discussion. I'm not. I think my life is the poorer for it.

* Might as well have a separate thread because I'm destined to bang on about him somewhere or other on here, forevermore. Last night I read the two versions he did of 'The Sorrow of Love' - one in the 1893, one in 1925. It's fascinating to see what he changed, how he had improved and...
