I have no clue how this never got sampled

@WashYourHands The Ski Sunday theme brings back horrific memories of childhood Sunday evenings and the sinking realisation you had to return TO SCHOOL the next day. That and The Clothes Show (and Howards' Way). Only respite was when the luge team crashed and didn't move: the BBC cameras should...

Well, THIS frazzled punk would dance with a lady at 6am to 'Sweet Vibrations' storms out

Does this count? One of my favourite Jungle tunes…not that I’m an expert. For me, the best jungle had a vertigo vibe. Shard of a sunray glimpsed off the corner of a building; feeling of falling out of an elevator at 30,000ft. Intrigued by that noise that kicks in at 0.11 – flashback to the...

Around 1999/2000 (?) there used to be a forum of (mainly American) women writing lurid fantasies about Adam Ant, called 'Silk and Leather'. Almost every single story started: "I had flown to London, England on holiday..." and then led to Adam Ant bumping into the author outside Buckingham...

I saw some of this on Youtube. The audio’s glitching and way too echoey, the light balance is bolloxed, looks like it’s streamed on a potato, etc – I’ve seen people doing Fleetwood Mac album reviews in their garden with better quality than this. Even Food Dip looks and sounds more professional...

Nah – she does rip into Rastas though (particularly Black Slate) for being anti-abortion. Terrible book, all the same. Apparently she was at Lewisham in ’77, and her and Danny Baker grabbed a bunch of Hitler World Tour T-shirts from a shop in Covent Garden and threw them into the street on...

Something nice turnt up in t'post this morning (cheers @catalog )

Perfect boozy blues / setting out the beartraps music. Normally find violins boring, unless you call them 'fiddles', and then you've got a good ceili/cajun/zydeco party going on. If that's all a bit too upbeat, try "Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima"

Is professional football not work? Do you think working class musicians who make lots of money when their careers take off automatically become middle class?

Had a long chat the other day with a freelancer I work with, and she mentioned her cousin who'd suffered brain damage after a moped accident, and had lost all inhibitions about sex. So, after the crash, he would be chatting to people from work, or at family gatherings, and saying, "Yeah had a...

For me, the biggest change is when people ask you about cars. Up until 40, if anyone asked if I had a car, I’d say “No, I live minutes from the tube… it’s pointless owning a car in London and getting screwed on insurance”, and think nothing more of it. NOW, when I say that, I feel like I’m...

I used to watch The James Whale Radio Show every Friday night– remember the ‘Satanic heavy metal’ expose’, the singer from The Mission getting trolleyed and throwing his shoes around the studio, and the ‘interview with Colin Moynihan’ where they just pushed an Action Man into the toilet with a...

Actually, that is a useful skill, and can be funny. I really thought this during Lockdown 1.0 but it seems to have gone to shit this year. Well, round my way anyway.

For a cishet male, I have one hell of a catty inner diva. It's a terrible strain to be polite, sometimes! But I keep her in check by writing mean things about musicians (including the ones I like). Some people can keep up a polite, calm outer appearance while mercilessly winding up others...

Death by car's always a good one

I remember Crowleyhead writing "Like America, The Stranglers were never great" - so maybe not the best bet for Dissensus...:ROFLMAO:but always preferred this to Dionne's original. The cover artwork gives the impression they're going to do some knockaround 'wacky' punk cover of the old...

Yep, them's the twats. Just YT'd it...even worse than I remember :sick:

Oh yeah, they blew up at the time. Think Flat Eric made some TV appearances as well. Babylon Zoo even got into Melody Maker. Wasn't there some US grunge-type band that came out of nowhere from a jeans ad in the mid-90s and put out an album off the back of it?
