I like it. Also the lass walked in and commented it was quite summery, unprompted. I've always been a fan of Coming On Strong, more so than their later stuff, but I didn't get into them until they got big, and this reminds me more of 'their earlier work'. The warm, comfortable, consistent poppy beat might be what's turning some people off, but I've not listened to them in 10 years so I have no idea where they've gone musically (despite a colleague sneaking me out of the Bestival 2016 bar I was working to take me to their set for 10 minutes). It's good, doesn't feel particularly special though.

About once a year, I'll re-watch Rebel Sound's performance at the 2014 Red Bull Culture Clash. It never fails to move me to tears. It's arguably the greatest soundclash performance ever, certainly the most remarkable since Mighty Crown took the 1999 World Clash.

There's a look on Rodigan's face at the start that I didn't pick up on at the time, but I think I understand it now. He knew that their sound was unbeatable - not arrogance, but simply a rational assessment of the facts. He knew that nobody could defeat them, because nobody could have worked so hard, because nobody could have cared more. They didn't "give it 110%", they put in ten times more work than they needed to, just for the love of it. It's a life lesson that has stuck with me.

Anyone fancy going for a drive by the canal? It'll be to die for.

Been relistening to this banging choon again. I like the music but I've come to enjoy it dispassionately. It does a fantastic job of capturing a sense of pampered bleakness that pervades urban first world life. Life really isn't too bad, but these sorts of people like to romanticise pound shop gangsterism and make a grand melodrama of their supposed misery.

Electronic music for people who like heavy metal, for when you're bored of guitars.

This reminds me of Chris Morris' Cake song from Brass Eye, and I kind of love it.

I'll enjoy working to South Korean hardcore punk tomorrow. I might actually prefer their demo because the sound quality is poorer.

This is bad but apparently the kids are down with it. It makes me feel very grown up to listen to it and hate the way he's singing.

>>12910

Mystikal's verse in Move Bitch by Ludacris where he starts bragging about how "bitches want me to fuck 'em" then immediately pivots to ranting about how they're bleeding him dry with child support is just fucking great.

>>12916

Timbaland produced Hip-Hop from 2002-2004 will be recognized as the true Golden Era for the genre in the coming decade.

>>12918
I have huge respect for Timbaland, even though music back then was so terrible on the whole. I think Say It Right by Nelly Furtado is the best-produced song in history, because imagine if it didn't have that huge, windswept sound. Imagine if it was just an unplugged acoustic version of the same song. I personally would hate it, and most importantly, I like the current version. If you don't like the current version, perhaps this is meaningless to you, but listen to it and try to produce it differently in your head. It would be worse.

>>12919

The Timbaland arrangement is fantastic (obviously, because it's Timbaland), but the song stands up alright without it.

Something I don't miss from the 90s is the brutal brick-wall limiting - just listen to how much clipping there is on the kick drum during the chorus.

Problem with living in London is that whenever something is shot here you're immediately taken out of it by working out where every scene is taken.

>Problem with living in London is that whenever something is shot here you're immediately taken out of it by working out where every scene is taken.

I lived in town for almost twenty years - my wife has banned me from watching any movie/show that features driving through London streets, with her, as I can bore for England on "YOU CAN'T GO THAT WAY" or "THEY DROVE WEST END DOCKLANDS THEN CITY - CAN NOT HAPPEN".

>>12922
You should put together a CV for a "London pedantry consultant". Try claiming it's an inclusivity thing, no one's got any decency anymore anyway.

ESPECIALLY NOT VIA THE QUEESNWAY TUNNEL IN MERSEYSIDE.

This drove me mad as I was trying to work out where I'd heard similar:

Can a country boy really survive? Maybe we should be packing Stetsons and moonshine kits for ITZ.

Heard you lads like shitposting music:

Shouldn't he be on some sort of list for this?

>>12934

He makes loads of great points, if you entirely ignore how people think and how gender dysphoria works.

Also he's not great but he does have better flow than I imagined from a terf.

>>12932
Is that Fred Durst?

I'm enjoying this as something to have a lay down to. It features a cyclical humming and instrumental references to the tracks of her album while fairly non-descript lyrics run cyclically over the top repeating 'to be both free and safe'.

>>12936

He looks like they've cast Brad Pitt in a David Fincher film about Jimmy Savile.

Dogs are fucking rad. Imagine if you could have as much fun as a dog has running around a park like a mentalist.

You certainly can if you take the red pill. Or the blue pill. Or the orange pill with speckly bits.

How would you like to listen to a jazz album about pigeons with such hit singles as Perchin', Bread Frenzy! and Hey I'm walkin' here!

How about instead an album about funky alligators:

Thanks, I hate Louie Zong now, and had never even heard of him before.

Change the lyrics to wailing and you have a GLA track in C&C Generals.
