    R.I.P. Lee Scratch Perry

    This was my gateway. £5 and a death glare from Keith in Daddy Kool. Even with his skinhead era stuff, he was organising tunes that sound like Chas & Dave jamming with Kraftwerk

    R.I.P. Lee Scratch Perry

    And the Blackboard Jungle dub where the sound cuts out like a mini-earthquake's gone off :cool: There were so many incredible moments, like when the Upsetters suddenly hit you out of the blue with those Meters-on-speed funk numbers on 'Eastwood Rides Again'... or that gloriously odd cover of...

    R.I.P. Lee Scratch Perry

    Yeah, that and another couple of wrongly attributed tracks were on that 'Dub Chill Out' CD - which despite the cheapo packaging and completely messed up track list (there are Scientist tracks credited to King Tubby IIRC) was a great compilation. Where to even start with this guy...always loved...

    Brexit Day

    Glimpsed a headline this morning (didn't read it properly) about how Waitrose are now paying some of their lorry drivers as much as their directors to meet the supply shortfall, which I find a bit hard to believe. But who knows... I'm kind of with George Galloway on this one - it would be cool...

    are you a rebel?

    Wish I could remember where I read it now, but recall somewhere online with old Class War anecdotes (maybe it was on Kill Your Pet Puppy). One was about a woman in a fur coat getting out of a Rolls and a CW type gobbing on her...only for her to shriek to her chauffeur in an East London accent...

    are you a rebel?

    Sounds like I got here too late and missed a good post. As for Rollers

    what does dialectical mean?

    To be fair, it's not just on Dissensus. I've asked people about this before and they all tried to bluff and change the subject too.

    what does dialectical mean?

    Well they wouldn't be, would they? You're not going to think "My life would be better if I had a car" and then go to the dentist to test it out.

    what does dialectical mean?

    Yeah sorry John, still unclear. OK, will make it really simple. I want to get a train to Brighton but don't have any money. The thesis would be, I can faredodge. The praxis would be me going to Victoria, boarding a train and hiding in the toilet. So, assuming I get there without incident...

    what does dialectical mean?

    Isn't that just thinking about something and trying it? Thesis: I'm hungry, it's 2pm and I've not eaten. Practice: I will go down the Lebanese for a kebab. In half an hour, I'm undertaking praxis to test my dialectic? Or is the dialectic if the kebab contains a dead rat, and I think "I should...

    Music Cults

    I once did a sigil and fuck all happened. But maybe a £5 million lottery win was a bit ambitious for someone who quit Ars Goetia at page 4. I read a funny 'secret' pamphlet recently called "Babylonian Money Magick" but one of the exercises looks a bit too cringe to do.

    Music Cults

    A think tank once paid me to research the brew crew subculture and come up with a conclusion. Here's the result http://seagullscreamingkillherkillher.blogspot.com/2007/07/festival.html?m=0

    It's good for zit prevention, and kick-starts the immune system.

    Strange British Things.

    Is it really too painful to wash your hands with cold water? Or, like William kindly suggested, put a plug in the basin and create your own mini-oasis of infinite possibility? - pull the lever half a millimetre sideways and suddenly need a skin graft. Sure. :rolleyes:
