third, how do you read/listen to dissensus (if you don't mind me asking)?
Yes well I have been fretting about this...
Is the idea that to side with functionalist dance music, against overtly dysfunktional undance, is to implicitly privilege a model of health and fitness?
Or is it that celebrating the dancefloor as the privileged site of sociality and ritual meaning – the tribal vibe center – fails to acknowledge the difficulties of accessing that space that some face, either physically or because of psychological issues?

now that third sees this list is going to make him famous he's stage managing us. making us family friendly.
gotta say we've got a pretty compact thread with a huge foundation to flash out a lot of ideas that we're talking about in other threads without the male aggression because it's so multivaried but I seem to have to repeat this every day. It's not that i want people to just talk about my list, it's that a thread gets started with a provocation and then we spend most of the thread dismantling or deconstructing that provocation but we actually don't talk much just going at each other. like yeah blame me or whatever but at least I fucking tried here.
I'm feeling dissillusioned if I'm being honest.
i perhaps naively thought this thread would generate the same amount of rapid fire discussion as either dematerialisation or culture as advertising.
It hasn't so far though.
What songs on the list do people absolutely hate, like, can't possibly understand how anyone could enjoy them? Like I mentioned the Abba and some other bits on Craners list that just ruin my day if I think about them.
version's input has been conspicuously abscent.
the ironic thing about that is i got all grumpy feeling that everyone was loving your list and ignored mine. i think its a grass is always greener thing.
this thread will inform future threads. thats the way things go with dissensus, people are a bit slow on the uptake and don't process things immediately. someone will post a thread in a couple of months thinking it was their brilliant idea and it was actually something you said on this thread.
my rhythm thread the other day was inspired by this list by the way.
me and luke were chatting about your list the other day.
he pointed out that me, him and reynolds have a relatively pop view of the nuum. celebrating bangers. venerating anthems. championing the 'flava' (to borrow si's vernacular) side to it rather than the techy end of the spectrum. sound collages not songs.
luke points to this list as a counterbalance to that orthodoxy.
what struck me about this tune from your list was that it manages to tick both boxes. being both a sound collage and pop song. that's the ideal really
