I think there's a John Peel archive somewhere. It's even searchable iirc.

>>12703

I don't really have anything to add other than to say that you've managed to make me incredibly nostalgic for what was an otherwise utterly shit part of my life just by invoking memories of sitting in my room until the sun came up with XFM or the Radio1 Rock Show on the radio.

I would also like to pour one out for my poor, long lost, mp3 collection from that era; all pulled down over a shitty a 56kbps dialup modem.

>>12706

Depressingly that sounds more like porn than sex. Then again, even I as somewhat older lad have found the sex I have influenced by the porn I consume, I imagine for younger people distinguishing between porn sex and "normal sex" is getting more and more difficult (and irrelevant). Sage for totally off topic bollocks.

>>12709

I am 95% sure he meant that the audience is the sexual partner in the context of the metaphor, he just didn't say it.

You can also find a lot of random radio there.

Always thought the lyrics were 'you fucking dare' but in hindsight that's only a lyric you would hear from a working class British band.

It's stupid, really stupid, but I can't get it out of my head.

Not being funny but did anyone else feel it's a bit freshwater crustacean that the video pushes some stereotype of upbeat African party vibes despite Riton and Nightcrawler having nothing to do with Africa? Compare it with the original Nightcrawlers video:

But if you wanted to ruin your Friday, Rebecca Black did a remix of her song and it's a bad time:

>>12716
It's because of this video.

Childhood fame really did a number on her. But judging from all the bollocks and troll faces in the video, she's 'in on the joke'. But it's still quite sad.

>>12718

She seems remarkably well-balanced, all things considered. She became an international hate figure for no good reason, but she has been savvy enough to parlay that 15 minutes of infamy into a legitimate music career. Fair play to her, I couldn't have managed it.

Help, lads. She's using a lisp, uniform and sunny disposition against me.

>>12719
I don't think it's terribly remarkable that someone from a rich background, who was in one of the biggest memes of the last decade and who is operating in an era where music marketing = memes managed to launch a music career.

She reminds me far too much of il Postino Pat which nullifies my usual manic pixie dream girl lust.

The weird thing about pop music is when you listen to the lyrics with an awareness of how old the singer is. Alexis was 17 in this, what kind of badness lies in her past - did she stay up late on a school night? It's a fun song anyway and I mean that in a non-carpet way.

>>12744

Like all modern pop records, it will have been written by a bunch of middle-aged Scandinavian blokes. Occasionally Dr Luke or that lad from OneRepublic have a go if all the Scandinavians are busy.

>>12744

Aside from the obvious that she almost certainly didn't have anything to do with writing the lyrics or song, I was shagging at 14 and there were girls in my school at it even younger than that. There were definitely plenty of opportunity to be bad in ways that even as an adult you might think twice about. I remember one lass sucked her boyfriend off in a room full of people at a house party. People were barely even paying attention as there were two other girls getting off with each other in the same room. I also remember another lass at a different party getting fingered by two lads. And so on. All before 17, too.

>>12749

I miss bassline.

Long since disbanded this was a decent punk band with a message. They had producded videos along their live appearnaces, but despite favouriting those they are apparently gone. Physical media matter. Let's not get started on Metal records lost to the winds.

I've been listening to the album Caligula throughout lockdown when I really need to put my head down and get some work done. The album is a very angry one with lyrics about abuse and screaming rage at what happened to her which makes it a bit melodramatic for filling in a spreadsheet but it works for angry working.

It had a good deal of praise and publicity when it was released but I feel it deserves a shout out for how much I've listened to it.

>>12752
I've only listened to the first track, but it's making me want to buy a dead expensive pair of headphones.

>>12754

This is like a mixture of School Food Punishment, Polkadot Stingray and Zamagi, but seems like much less than the sum of them.

I feel like I first heard this song after it being posted to a possibly hidden/secret board on this website -- it must have been around 8-10 years ago as I remember listening to it on my Creative Zen MP3 player. Did I dream this?

>>12756
Think it was posted 5 years ago on the secret pedo-board the mods don't know or forgot about. The one with the picture of Bruce Forsyth as the background.

>>12757
If it was posted on that board (and such a board exists) five years ago, then that won't be it. It has to be at least 8, probably closer to 10 as I got rid of the Zen in 2013.

That, or I didn't hear it from here originally.

>>12757
I don't remember this board, and I thought I knew all the boards. Now I want my Brucie Bonus.

>>12760

Same here, and I thought I had collected them all.

>>12760
>>12761
I've long since thought of doing an alphanumeric URL sweep on the site to see if there are any as-yet undiscovered boards, but I don't want to incur the wrath of our benevolent benefactor.

I figure to check every combination a-z, 0-9 and all the symbols valid in a URL except & and ?, I make that 46, so for board names of up to and including 5 characters in length, that's only 210 million requests to make.

>>12762

Brian shit himself once a long time ago, and I ended up looking at the site index. There wasn't anything particularly secret then that I can recall, other than the modzboard.

That must have been at least ten years ago though, as I remember I was in uni halls at the time.

The only secret boards that matter are the kurskmurk page and the board that has a picture of my ex girlfriend on the bog on it.

You'll enjoy it if you like Radiohead instrumentals is the best way I can sell Hania Rani

Also Iceland doesn't look like a real place. They're the only landmass aside from Antarctica without mosquitoes as they're seasons are so unpredictable with random bouts of summer in the middle of winter that it breaks their life cycles.

I wish I was stupendously wealthy so I could spend all day playing with sock puppets instead of all night doing work I accidentally didn't do.

DMX is on life support. Hope this realest of niggas pulls through.

>>12772

Knowing DMX has always been a bit of a crazy bastard, I wondered why he was on life support. Turns out it was a heart attack.

>>12773
Read a quote from him about being given a joint laced with crack when he was 14 by an adult he trusted, sounds like he had a bit of a shit deal growing up.

>>12774

I have no doubt about that, and like his music. I have a CD of It's Dark and Hell Is Hot that I probably stole from my older brother buried in my family home somewhere.

The Beeb has deemed DMX relevant enough to only make headlines on its pidgin English page. Sad!

They appear to be leagues ahead of Wikipedia on that one:

They have no page on Prince Philip but an entry for every single (183) municipality in the Spanish province of Soria.
Spain has 50 provinces, no others of which have their municipalities listed except for Ségovia in Castilla y León, alone.
Bizarre.

>>12778
I remember this story! It has everything.

Rewatched Belly in honour of DMX's passing. This song from the Jamaica scene is going to be stuck in my head for weeks.
