Most users ever online was 374, 09-06-2005 at 11:35 AM. Did something special happen on theis date that i'm not aware of? :confused:

OK, it's Friday, I'm at work, and no-one in my office is saying anything funny. Summary: I need a laugh. So, what are your favourite one-liners? Mine (have self-censored for the moment, as I have a dark sense of humour): Frankie Boyle ('Mock the Week') is a current favourite, for gems like...

Blackdown and dHarry were having a discussion about beat structure in dubstep/reggae/soca etc, over on another thread that set me thinking: maybe it would be useful to have a separate thread for people to share their knowledge/questions in this area? As most people on here who make beats...

OK guys - tell me if this is too much of an 'I Love Music' question for Dissensus ;) , but I was just re-reading Woebot Top 100 records yesterday (http://www.woebot.com/2005/12/part_one.html) and thinking about many amazing records/artists/scenes it had turned me onto... Tropicalia, NDW and...

Having seen the useful responses to the last Dissensus thread on mental health, I was wondering whether anyone had ever had experience of someone in their lives going through ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Or if someone can recommend something good to read on the subject? I need good...

Are any other Dissensians interested in, nay excited by, the forthcoming Rugby World Cup. As someone of Welsh parentage, I am facing it with the requisite excitement /dread combination. At least watching England fail to defend the title should be solace amid the gloom... The opening...

I am just starting to learn how to use sequencers (have Fruity Loops at the moment, and it seems to work well as a programme to learn with), and I want to purchase the bare minimum of extra kit I'll need. Off the bat, was thinking of a midi controller keyboard and a mic for sampling - is there...

(ignore the ignorant title the orginal poster has given the video, obv.) Truly extraordinary. I think John Terry comes out of it the best - he comes across as genuinely quite sweet, and fields the question quite well. As for Ashley Cole....:rolleyes:

I seem to be lacking a decent frying pan (for general use...for risotto, curry etc as well as plain frying), but having browsed on t'internet, the options seem virtually limitless. Do I go for a tri-ply, or is this really necessary? Information overload! Any tips greatly appreciated - NB I have...

At the weekend, someone was explaining to me that the reason there are so many people with mental health issues in San Francisco is that the authorities in another state (New York) once gave all those coming out of its mental institutions free tickets to SF. Can there possibly be a truthful...

There seems to be a lot of love for Freestyle over on the Pop Song of the Year thread, so let's give it its own thread! Obviously, it's one of the poppermost genres in history, and just mention of Debbie Deb or Lisa Lisa sends me into bouts of giddiness. Sadly I don't know half enough about it...

Prefab Sprout's "Steve McQueen" is one that's always mentioned when seeking to pluck gems from the wreckage of the adult-oriented rock sound, and I absolutely concur. The Blue Nile and some Joni Mitchell fit here too, I think. Inspired by listening to Rickie Lee Jones' 'Pirates' for the first...

Simple question - my computer sound system is somewhat lacking. What soundcards and speakers give the best performance? Listen to a lot of minimal, if that helps...

I realise that minimal house (perhaps Villalobos aside) isn't as popular among Dissensians as grime, dubstep or rnb, but there's still some very interesting stuff going on (and no doubt some interested parties posting to this board). Trouble is, there's not much quality control, and so the whole...

Going to be in Moscow later this week - have little idea of where to go club/barwise, given that so many places appear to have strict/random door policies. Anyone have any knowledge to drop on this subject? Thanks in advance...:)

Number 1, thrown out there for anyone who cares to educate me: Ricardo Villalobos. I just don't get the hype. The ideas might be interesting, but there's nothing there that grabs me. More than anything, it reminds me of a lot of 'IDM' records.

...I can't stop being wound up by the sheer idiocy of Petridis: "With most of the major American urban producers intent on proving they would work with anyone who stumped up the cash, the usual chart-slaying hip-hop or R&B single of the year was not forthcoming. In its place, there was an...

Love some Khaled music I've heard, but what I'm more looking for is rai in a modern style (not sure if there's different terminology for this type of music), which stands in relation to rai as desi stands in relation to bhangra. Anyoen able to help?

Is DMZ still held at Mass in brixton? If so, when's the next one? Having no joy in Googling this...

Was listening to one of the early Triple Six Mafia songs last week ('From Da Back'), and by God the beat sounds like something Goblin might have done for Dario Argento. Almost identical textures...really got quite excited about it. Ahem. Anyway, what similar experiences have others had, where...
