i wouldnt say hard house is a working class thing, id say its probably more a gay thing a la trade at the moment, what seems to be big on the estates is the whole bonk/makina thing which makes hard house sound like shostakovich. you wont hear that on the radio south of wigan, i tell thee. i stumbled on this ridiculous site which seems to have been colonized by this sort of music while looking for some file hosting. www.mixstreet.net (though dont spend too much time there it'll rot your brain) i do the class' things is a bit of a misnomer to me, did i relinquish my working class satus when i went to university? working class seems to be shorthand for the great unwashed these days, anyone who is content with their place at the bottom of the cultural ladder.
I'm also tempted to propose all that British 80s psychobilly nonsense; King Kurt, The Metors, Demented are Go, morons, morons, rubbish, rubbish.
On a personal level, I'll admit I quite like King Kurt but on an objective level, they're dreadful.
Mediocre is so much worse than the truly dreadful. As such, I'd say any uber-earnest post-Nirvana Grunge-lite. Absolutely a waste of time.
hehe. i like it when europeans say "joint", that's funny
i always say "word" with a straight face. i can't help it. i often have to remind myself that when my boss tells me to do something "word" is not an appropriate response.
Sean.
Fucking.
Paul.
In Sean Paul's defence, his music sounds a lot better when played at brain-meltingly high volume.
