    Public Enemy vs. NWA

    This needs to be on the sleevenotes of the next NWA 'lost demos' retro boxset.

    Public Enemy vs. NWA

    Yeah - probably the same reason why I preferred Ninjaman to Macka B.

    Public Enemy vs. NWA

    Public Enemy were heroes to most but they never meant shit to me, you see. Whereas NWA gave us deathless classics like Fuck Da Police, Gangsta Gangsta, Panic Zone, 8-Ball, SOC, etc. Chuck D never wrote anything as good as Here's a murder rap to keep ya dancin' / With a crime record like...

    Outside of bills, utilities etc, what do you spend your money on?

    Yeah, that would make sense. My parents bought their first house in the NW London suburbs in 1960 for £3,200, which wouldn't even buy you a storage unit now. When I was renting in the same area (a MASSIVE 3-bed semi) in the late '90s/2000, the house value was £160k when we moved out. Can snap...

    Outside of bills, utilities etc, what do you spend your money on?

    What I can’t figure out is, how comes when I was young and skint I was going out nearly every night, buying records, CDs, tapes and books weekly, smoking like a lab rat, going to football (including away games) and up to see mates in Sheffield and Edinburgh/Glasgow frequently…whereas now, having...

    Veggie Burgers

    Bit like vinyl LPs with download codes. I really can't see the point of 'fake meat'. The BK Spicy Beanburger was cheap and lush, I spent six months just living on that and Guinness...why ditch the classics?

    Election incoming

    Sorry. I did consider it but went for option 5. Which, as it happens, made no difference to the outcome at all and was far more pleasurable. Hindsight's wonderful, but I actually would've ditched the hopelessly utopian anarcho stance and voted IF Lab and LD had maybe done something clever like...

    Election incoming

    I'm in Finchley/Golders Green. The way I see it, I have 5 choices tonight: 1) Spoil my ballot paper. Always thought that was a bit futile though, like nicking a traffic cone, and it's not like they show the funniest ones on TV. 2) Vote Tory. Yeah, right. 3) Vote Labour. Today it's 18 years...

    Writers you hate

    Yeah, spelled his name wrong, big whoop.

    Writers you hate

    Jenks wrote a great piece about McEwan on his blog a while back, which articulated what I never liked about a lot of his stuff. Probably heresy, but I never thought David Peace was all that (except for The Damned United). I find McCarthy a bit samey, but don't know if I'd say I hate either of...

    Sleep

    You shouldn't sleep on your back - if you puke in your sleep you'll choke to death, a la Hendrix.

    Do you eat at McDonalds?

    I'm in a minority of one, then - never. I think their food's disgusting and the smell would knock a dog down. Makes me sick that you can't openly enjoy a Stella on the tube after work but anyone can stink the carriage out with their Fish McMuffin. Totally with Macka B and the ALF on this one...

    Into the Sewers

    There was a BBC documentary back in the early '90s about a huge community of people living in the sewers in Russia. There were some political dissidents, punks, heroin addicts and two nerds having a Satanist marriage ceremony down there. No Mayan squid-bats, though. Didn't early Christian...

    Twitter?

    I’m well bored of it, and I was hardly prolific in the first place. It shouldn’t get to me that someone follows the #addbananastoafilm tag and tweets “The Bananas Who Loved Me” and gets 642 likes when I only get 9 for making a joke about typos on reggae labels – but it does. To make it worse...

    British Farming Post-Brexit

    Farmers are total savages. Staggering around drunk in scarecrow masks like the ‘Beast of Jersey’, blasting shotguns at anyone who walks near their fields, chopping up their 11-year old pregnant daughters to feed to the pigs, making foxes’ lives a misery, etc. The way I see it, it’s their farms...

    Dinner of the Day.

    I've only met two people who've been there. One got robbed at gunpoint by 3 cops, the other had a knife pulled on him in a bar. IIRC, some sports writer for the Independent got beaten up in a bar there during a televised World Cup game, think it was '98. But they could have been wearing...

    Actually, this one's good - polizei appeal for info on RAF fugitives Class War's Ian Bone getting in practice for doorstepping Rees-Mogg

    Political Samples

    Find it a bit trite, personally. Like you're supposed to be sitting there on headphones, nodding sagely as MLK imparts his words of wisdom...seconds before Willie D kicks in, complaining about bald-headed hoes. Then there was that godawful Spiral Tribe record with the AIM guy. Right-wing...

    Dinner of the Day.

    Because the sea's an open sewer. It's full of shit, piss, prozac, radioactive filth, dead dogs, condoms, plastic, hydrocarbons, abortions, missing planes and sofas.

    What are you going to do with the £169 million you win on the lottery tonight?

    Oh...I was thinking more one of those clubs designed like a subway train where you get to 'touch up' call girls in bunny ears :slanted:
