Amy Macdonald is underrated, but sadly still too famous for me to think, "She'd be a household name if only people heard her songs".

And speaking of underrated, why wasn't this Garbage's biggest hit? Everyone in the world has such inferior taste compared to me and my genius.

Why is the American entertainment industry so obsessed with the Salem Witch trials these days? There was that weird programme about witch soldiers and this is the second or third music video I've seen covering the topic. And then there was that Marvel show.

What's driving it? Why are white chicks referencing Wednesday Adam's monologue about the natives killing pilgrims?

That generic 80s sound, generic even by 1980s standards, led to loads of acts like that. It's no real surprise that most of them in the end didn't have long-lasting careers. Kylie Minogue, on the other hand, is an example of beating the odds by reinventing herself from the ground up. And she had a solid daytime TV background with its own fan base.

I've had Still Corners recommended to me for years and I never bothered to listen to them, but yeah it's pretty good. Something you'd hear in the soundtrack to some Americana like True Detective.

Also Overload is a great song.

For me, it's Mutya. Not now though obviously.

Using SponserBlock I've patched up the skip in the music video for Learn to Fly as best as I can. You still pick up the drop but it doesn't create dead air like it did before. I'm surprised nobody has taken a look into it earlier, someone did already skip the non-music parts of the video.

Probably my favourite Depeche Mode song of all time.

This one is slightly longer than the 7'' single version everybody knows, and the synth arrangements are a bit more "pulsating" at the end.

Sorry to interrupt, but I had completely forgotten this game existed and you can't play it (for free) any more. The song is Frisco - Sea of Love (Hixxy remix) if you don't want to watch someone playing Techno Kitten Adventure while you listen to it.

I don't know where Frisco get off, given that Hixxy remixed it and the original was by Danish group Daze who also did that Tamagotchi song. I have been listening to all this stuff for hours now.

I knew that one. Cheers mate.

In the early 2000s, every other dance song was nicked off some 1970s disco tune, often the slightly more obscure ones.

Spiller's Groove Jet is a similar rework of a song by Carol Williams:

Is there a term for the type of singing during the first half of this track? Specifically the lamenting 'ooooh's starting from 0:47.
Similar to this track in Little Shop of Horrors, throughout but specifically at 2:14 when the old lady passes.
I thought it might be a type of Keening but the examples of that I've found don't sound right.
Maybe choir singing, too, but again the feeling is very different.

The sounds remind me of my grandmother - an apparently horrible woman but I wouldn't have known that when she was alive.

Musically, that bit at 2:14 sounds like a relative minor chord. That's nothing to do with the singing, though; moving from one chord to its relative minor just always sounds really nice, at least in my opinion. I'm not any kind of musical expert, but the notes in the chord of C are C, E and G, and C major's relative minor is A minor, where the notes are A, C and E, so if the singers are doing some kind of harmony (and I assume they are), only one of them needs to change the note and it'll sound great.

I'm really enjoying Joji's/Filthy Frank's THE PROPHECY. It has a really interesting modern synth sort of sound that swings between ethereal and harsh from track to track.
The lyrics are pretty imature, something something zoomer culture, but taken tongue in cheek it's kind of listenable.

The Joji stuff is definitely more self-pitying but I think it's miles better than Pink Guy. Pink Guy seems mostly about taking the piss out of itself and youth culture in general, to the point it often sounds harsh and intentionally 'shit'. Joji on the other hand is a much softer, melodic sound enjoyable without requiring irony.

What is it exactly you perfer about Pink Guy?

I've just come across this and I find it fascinating:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Mysterious_Song_on_the_Internet
>"The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" (also known as "Like the Wind", "Blind the Wind", "Check It In, Check It Out" or "Take It In, Take It Out" after lines in fan-interpreted lyrics; acronymed as TMMSOTI or TMS) is the nickname given to an unidentified song recording, most likely composed in the 1980s.
>The song was reportedly recorded from a Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) broadcast sometime in the mid-1980s, likely during or after 1984.[1] Since 2019, this song has been the subject of a viral Internet phenomenon, with many users of sites such as Reddit and Discord involved in a collaborative effort to search for the origins of the song.[1] Through the search, other unknown songs were discovered. Users have coined the term "Lostwave" to describe songs of this nature.

You could probably amend your bbcode parser so that it will be able to parse video IDs without tags, but you'd have to really get into regular expressions, which are the devil's in most programming languages. And you'd have to check if your video ID resolves into a valid youtube link, because otherwise any 10-character string could be mistaken for a youtube link and then you'd have all kinds of dead video embeds plastered across your post. So you'd have to think of a way to prefetch possible youtube links at runtime and check if they exist. Depending on the number of ten-character words in your post that would have to be checked for being a youtube link, this could really slow down a web site's performance.

A jazz band won the Mercury Music Prize on Thursday night, and they too exclaimed that it was weird to see jazz winning awards again. They're called Ezra Collective and I thought they were shit, personally. Not a patch on Sons of Kemet.

Nevertheless, there was a thing on the news earlier today about how jazz is coming back. I confess I have started listening to jazz; I spent ages trying to find a jazz radio station because I thought it was odd that there weren't any, and now I have the extremely passionate view that weird noodly jazz is great, but jazz with singing is the worst thing in all of existence. Just endless women LARPing like it's the 1920s. It's awful. Originally, I thought I might hate all jazz made by women, but hearing Louis Armstrong or someone randomly shouting, "Skee-bap-bop-a-wolla-ba-lalla-la-woo" is not particularly enjoyable, and the legendary smooth jazz anthem Lily Was Here is by a woman, so luckily I'm not a bigot after all.

My favourite is the Danish station P8 Jazz. They've got consistently good taste and have a remarkable ability to find gorgeous music from new artists.

https://www.dr.dk/lyd/p8jazz

Looking more broadly, the French station FIP is gloriously weird. They've got a regular jazz programme at 7pm CET, but outside of that slot they will play literally anything. It makes sense despite not being categorisable, a bit like John Peel's show back in the day.

The Paramore influence is unmistakable. I also got a bit of a reminder of German band the Guano Apes, and now I want to go and listen to the Guano Apes again:

Turns out they're not as similar as I thought.

Depressed Lisa.jpg

I've had this track for a while as a webm titled 'Depressed Lisa', with a still capture of a glumb Lisa Simpson laying in bed, overlaid with a watery filter that makes it look like she's sinking deep into the ocean.

I've only just thought to find the original- it's quite good prog-rock with some kind of drepressing grunge or something (i don't know) mixed in.

They are both gifted musicians, although Roland Orzabal got a bit weird and went off the deep end for a long time.

Songs from the Big Chair is one of my all-time favourite albums, and is widely considered one of the most significant albums of the entire 80s.

Was the Great Male Renunciation a mistake? I'm not saying we should embrace heels and uncomfortable clothing but I do wonder if things could be more fancy and colourful. Or at least bring out more of the male form. Suits are uncomfortable when you have to wear them and blokes still spend money on fashion for what are subtle things that only a gold digger would care about. Looking around at the average bloke it does seem rather drab.

Surprised women put up with us really.

This played as an ad on a YouTube video for me the other day. I sat through all of it in curiosity, but it never once told me who or what it was, so I figured I would simply never know and that whoever was responsible for the marketing is a colossally thick twat.

It's not terrible but I think if they are getting played in YouTube ads they are definitely industry ghouls. While the music isn't bad, it does have that quite distinctive vibe of something with a gaping black hole in place of what you might call "soul".

I was similar, and I thought that they were just a sort of shite commercialised rip-off of female fronted gothy European bands like Nightwish. As an older man that gives me a chuckle because I have since realised that said bands already are commercial, mass market, pop music in Scandi countries especially, so there's no real difference.

Americans are shite at modern metal though so I will stick to my guns on that point. Britain and the US were the heavyweights and driving force of heavy metal in the early days and its mid-80s peak, but all the best stuff from the 90s onwards either comes from Europe or LatAm.

The way I see it now, bands like Evanescence did latch onto the goth and emo scene and its sound that was en vogue back then. There were loads of similar bands just like them.

On the other hand, they really had some cracking good songs. And Amy Lee really is a talented singer. I still enjoy just listening to her voice because it's a versatile, nuanced and rich sounding female voice, and the way she delivers those piercing high notes with all that emotion still gives me goose bumps today.

Not really, no. There are fandoms around things like Taylor Swift or BTS or whatever the latest series of young adult fantasy novels are, but the internet has destroyed the social mechanisms that create coherent subcultures.

Twenty years ago, if you wanted to listen to music that wasn't being played on the radio, you had to borrow it off a mate or buy it from a local specialist shop. They had a finite selection of CDs, which they found out about through magazines or word-of-mouth. That naturally created communities of people with similar tastes - if you fell in with a bunch of mates who liked death metal, it was easy for you to listen to lots of death metal and very unlikely that you'd just randomly stumble across some country or Japanese pop. Those communities also spread other norms - fashion, slang, mannerisms, drugs.

Today, you can listen to literally anything ever on Spotify or YouTube. The recommendation algorithms don't respect genre boundaries, they don't have a sense of something belonging to a particular time or a particular scene, they aren't prone to snobbery or tribalism, they just make statistical correlations. The same goes for fashion - you don't read the same magazines as your mates and shop in the same shops, you get shown an infinite carousel of possible styles based on the whims of the Instagram algorithm and have immediate and cheap access to those styles via Asos or Boohoo or Shein.

Zoomers have grown up in an environment where all the world's culture has gone through a blender. In the YouTube sidebar, a 1980s city pop track from Japan sits next to a 1960s folk-rock track from America, which sits next to a disco track that sounds like it's from 1970s Detroit but was actually recorded three weeks ago by some lad in his bedroom in Rotterdam. None of this music signifies anything beyond itself, because it has been shorn of all social context.

It sounds almost ludicrously glib, but I think this is one of the major drivers behind the rise of identity politics. Forming a distinct personal identity is an essential part of the development of a young person, but the traditional signifiers of youth subcultures have lost all meaning in the algorithmically-driven postmodern melange of social media. Your mum has got tattoos, your dad reminisces about singing "oh Jeremy Corbyn" at Glasto, so what's left? Get yourself a pronoun, or find increasingly subtle and specific ways to accuse people of racism.

I am pretty confident (but I haven't checked) that Evanescence and My Chemical Romance were several years apart. My immense gripe around that time was that "emo" music was meant to be all sadness and wrist-slitting, and yet Panic At The Disco were meant to be the most emo band of all and yet they were unrelentingly cheerful and upbeat.

Welcome to the Black Parade was 2006 but I definitely remember kids wearing hoodies for their previous album before then. I think the weirdos my age were HIM kids.

Either way, it was a case of me being in year 10/11 judging what the kids in year 8/9 were doing and feeling superior even though I did the same when I was that old. For some reason when I was that age it was a big deal whether you were a fan of Green Day or The Offspring because you had to pick a side and couldn't like both. Blink 182 and Sum 41 were neutral territory though.

The Youtube algorithm has really been pushing this song about the rain on me over the past week. I don't know if maybe it's just deliberate to go with the weather or the result of more people listening to it because of the rain.

It's a simple song in a way. A girl who lives somewhere where it rarely rains sings about what it feels like to see the rain, but she uses it as a metaphor for how she feels looking back to a brief romance she had and longing to feel that way again.

Radio 1 still gets millions of listeners, but it's much easier to ignore in a world of streaming than in a world where radios still had tuning dials. There is still a cultural mainstream, but it's very easy to opt-out from some or all of it.

Not owning a TV - or at least not watching linear broadcast TV - used to be weird, but now it's completely normal at both ends of the age demographic. Millions of people watch programmes like Strictly and Coronation Street, but increasingly few people will watch something accidentally because they didn't change the channel.

I was going to write about how great it was for such a bizarrely avant-garde song to have been such a massive hit, but it turns out Hide and Seek peaked at number 125 in the UK charts. I could probably peak higher than that. All we got from it was Jason bloody Derulo.

Aye, Imogen Heap is an uncut gem. She's lots of interesting songs, many quite unusual in their stylings and vocals. I used to listen to her a lot as a teenlad.

I don't know much about Kurt Vile, except that he was somehow involved with The War on Drugs whom I massively rate. Again, their songs all sound the same, but one of them is possibly my favourite song of the entire 2010s.

When I was a teenlad I was that guy who could play basically every song off of the first three or four Metallica albums straight through. While other lads were out having fun and learning how to pull birds I was practicing tabs for Metallica songs. Every so often I'll put them on again, find a backing track and muddle my way through a tune I haven't practiced in a decade, and it's the warmest kind of nostalgia.

Metallica really were great in their prime, and I don't care how cool it became to shit on them over the years. They were never over-rated, they were truly like, the Beatles of metal in those early years, and it's a shame what became of them. Truly victims of their own success.

Black Album, Load and Re-Load definitely had their moments, I'll agree to that.

St Anger is of course uniquely awful, but in a way I find that more respectable, and definitely way more interesting, than the safe and bland albums they've released since. What they make now is just a kind of white noise, it doesn't sound unpleasant, but it passes directly through your brain without a single moment sticking out.

Fannypack Mandingo is less well known than would it would seem within some circles.

I love most of it but the 2010 - 2013 era in electronic music (₩î†¢н нøƱ$э included) forever tinted by strong feelings for me. So many regrets, huge missteps in life, some people I can never see again.

That guy is like the living proof that the more determined somebody is to give their opinions about music, the less business they have to be doing so.

I'll let baldlad have his defence that bald men are very good at running business empires and being successful in sports and suchlike, but when it comes to music the longer and greasier your hair, the better. This is scientific fact. We all know what happened when Metallica got haircuts.

I just checked and the Asda is nearly 3 miles away the Tesco Express is 1 mile away. Costs nearly a quid to drive there and back to Asda but costs 32p to drive there and back to Tesco, because I'm not walking in this weather and this area is all on the side of a steep hill.

Anyone with a full time job can afford to run a car. Generally the trade off is that people who drive can live further out of the city and pay less for housing.

On average I go through about £80-£100 in petrol in a month, I own the car outright so there's no monthly payment, about £40 insurance and a tenner tax, altogether about £150 a month. When it comes to service/MOT time that's maybe an extra £200-£300 annually depending if work needs doing.

Rents in the city are at a minimum about £800 which is twice my current mortgage payment, and I definitely wouldn't be able to buy a place in those areas. Therefore my car would need to cost me over £400 a month before it stopped being worth it.

I scrimp over pennies in petrol so I can buy more jaffa cakes.

31 years old, and still absolutely fucking brilliant.

I like Depeche Mode more from their synth era going back to Vilator and especially Music For The Masses, which to me was the peak of their career, but the grungy tone of Songs of Faith and Devotion was a welcome update to their tried and true Industrial soundscapes. It was mainly thanks to Dave Gahan immersing himself into the American post-punk and grunge scene in the early 90s after Violator, and wanting DM to take some of it on board.

This song is nearly 20 years old but it still comes into my head sometimes. It's nice, there's a macho philosophy of being a tough and firmly planted 'I' in the world but it's okay if that I sometimes lean towards someone else to make a pair of parenthesis like a pair of arms around whatever shit is going on in someone's head.

Anyway I looked up why there's this weird line about crying in the deli aisle and it's about the singer herself feeling overwhelmed and what she wanted someone to say, even to address her guilt over being vulnerable in itself. If you're stereotyping stoicism then you might say it's an attack on its ideals but both Seneca and Marcus Aurelias acknowledge that no man is an island and that it's okay to acknowledge your own feelings.

I suppose the balance to be outwardly tough and dependable but also able to share the burden of your inner world is part of the human experiance. Recently I was talking to a Ukrainian refugee who went from a lucrative career in her home to working as a waitress and having a tough time trying to get a career going with her English skill, she is in her own words hitting rock bottom in terms of her self-esteem and I was able to be helpful just by listening to her and talking about my own experiance of how it feels to get rejected where I had having nothing but my cat to keep me going.

I've just realised that it's a silly beep-boop indie song and I'm attaching far too much to it.

One of less than a handful of Tarantino films I can bring myself to like. Not least because Juliette Lewis was proper fit in it.

But yeah. Quentin Tarantino's work is otherwise just not my kind of thing. I could just say his films are too violent, but that's not quite it. It's his trademark way of elevating coreographed violence to an art form. It just does nothing for me.

I have usually thought that the absolute most '90s song ever, the song that encapsulates the entire 1990s better than any other, was the theme tune from Friends, but after listening to this again and watching its sepia-toned retro-Americana video, perhaps Joan Osborne is more '90s than the Rembrandts after all:

I also have a question while I'm here. Can anyone help me identify a song that was in the charts around 2010? I thought it was called Fun, and by Deep Dish, but I can find no record of such a song. Wikipedia's Deep Dish discography does not mention a song called Fun, and the Official UK Charts website does not have the song I want when I search for every song ever containing the word "fun" in the title. So clearly I am doubly wrong, or there is some sort of cover-up.

Anyway, the song I'm after is a sort of pop-house song, with a woman in a big hat in somewhere like Miami, witnessing some big American cars driving around, and I am confident the music video ends with a car crash. The lyrics are as follows:

"Oh-ooh-oh-oh-ooh-ohhhhh
Didn't we have fu-u-u-n?
I know it hu-u-urts like hell, when
You can't be with someone"

It's pretty generic but it was the first song I ever listened to on YouTube when I bought my new computer in 2011, and I would like to listen to it again.

Nope; I have found it after having another idea. Anousheh Khalili was the vocalist for Flashdance by Deep Dish, but the song I wanted was actually by Sharam, who incidentally was a member of Deep Dish.

The song never actually charted and that's why that didn't work. But thank you very much for your efforts. I haven't even listened to your Fun yet; perhaps this is a remix of the same song.

Speaking on Linda Perry, she was one of the many, many people who collaborated on the album Love Angel Music Baby that I've been listening to lately.

That was followed by The Sweet Escape which was a solid sequel.

You don't notice it as a bloke but one of the main drivers was also a fashion line. Also the albums had a huge amount of influence on pop even a decade later.

It's quite a natural mix, the vocals are pushed to the back, it doesn't have any of the overbearing sidechain compressor nonsense you get in more modern EDM. The completely raw 808 and Casio keyboard sounding horn samples don't help I suppose. I like it personally, but I like a subtle mix that doesn't try to pump things too much, and that's perhaps what sounds off to you if you're used to it.

The BBC have always been a bit coy about it, but if you look at the lineup and the listener demographics, it's clearly intended to slot in between Radio 1 and Radio 2. They do play a decent amount of new music, but the target audience is "people who fondly remember John Peel".

These Swedish women are Lilli & Susie, but what's this? There are clearly three of them!

The third one is the unnamed backing dancer Ankie Bagger, who went on to have a successful (in Sweden) solo career, unlike the other two.

I thought I might have posted these songs before, but I can't find them so here they are again. Ankie Bagger's solo song really sounds like another '80s song as well, and I am confident it's You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi but I could be wrong.

purple Disco Machine is a veteran dance and house DJ who has developed his own take on 1980s disco and synth music in recent years. Influenced by Italo Disco and mid-80s European mainstream pop, a lot of his songs feel like a pastiche of 80s sounds, albeit in a fresh and innovative manner that combines those elements with modern-day soundscapes.

I didn't think it was worthy of a new thread, but what are your favourite side projects?

John Frusciante's solo album Shadows Collide With People is one of my favourite ever albums. I'm also a fan of his work with Ataxia.

My brother liked Jimmy Sommerville's music. He's been dead over 20 years now, but around the time of his death every year, I often come back to this song. It was of course written as a way of remembering the victims of the AIDS pandemic among gay men in the late 80s, but you can't deny that there's something universal about the lyrics, which deal with the loss of a loved one and the difficulty of coming to grips with them no longer being around.

Best modern metal band I have stumbled upon in a good decade (even if that is partially because they sound so authentically like a band that would have been playing alongside UFO or early Iron Maiden back in the day), traditional heavy metal is often a very stale genre where all the possible permutations have already been played out. But just once in a while you come across something truly class.

I have said almost exactly this about Smalltown Boy (also by Jimmy Somerville!!!!!). Everyone thinks it's about the gays, but maybe he just got bullied for liking swimming. We have all been that boy at some point, made to feel unwelcome because we didn't fit in with everyone else 100%. I never got attacked by a biker gang, but I guess I'm just more charismatic and talented than ginger Jimmy Somerville with his lightbulb head.

I think some of it had to do with the fact that you couldn't be too frank about homosexuality in your lyrics in those days. At least not if you wanted your song to be played to a mass audience on Radio 1 or on TOTP. Everything had to be a bit more vague, and at times tongue in cheek. Although nobody was fooling anyone. But maybe the byproduct of that was then that songs like Smalltown Boy not only spoke to bullied young gay men, but to many others who felt they didn't fit in or who felt unloved at home for whatever other reason.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZYX_Music
>ZYX Music GmbH & Co. KG is a German record label that was founded in 1971 by Bernhard Mikulski.[1]

>There is no documentation of where the term "Italo-Disco" first appeared, but its origins are generally traced to Italian and other European disco recordings released in the West-German market.

> Both series primarily featured disco music of Italian origin, often licensed from independent Italian labels which had limited distribution outside Italy, as well as songs in a similar style by other European artists.

The Wikipedia page also has a lengthy section about Italodisco acts from outside Italy, but it has no sources and it first mentions Trans-X, who in my opinion are not really Italodisco:

The inception of the band Stiltskin was an odd way of the cart coming before the horse. Levi's ad agency had a nearly finished TV and cinema advert in early 1994, which is what you see at the beginning of the clip, and they were looking around for a bit of music to go with it. They approached a producer who then just threw together some chorals and a heavy guitar riff, which was enough for the ad, but then people, including radio stations, started asking who this wondrous song was by. Seeing an opportunity, the producer then hired then-unknown Scottish singer Ray Wilson to tack on some brooding lyrics, and Stiltskin was born. They then tried to capitalise on the success of the single called "Inside" by putting out an entire album called The Mind's Eye. Which wasn't bad, granted. It was sort of a grunge pastiche that could have turned out much worse. But it had very little originality about it and was basically just an hour's worth of discarded motifs that didn't make it into the lead single.

I definitely hear that for sure, though the simplicity of the lyrics coupled with the PG13 content seems to show exploration of puberty as a key consideration in the production of this.
Don't get me wrong, I only have a vague awareness of PC Music - it's just many of the 'hyper-pop' (or whatever) tracks, from around a similar point in time, have this quality.

No, both men and women are allowed 15 different hairstyles respectively. A similar chart exists for men's haircuts. Those charts are mandatory to be hung inside every beauty salon or barber shop in North Korea.

Wikipedia even has a chart consisting of just twelve men's hairstyles, most of which are essentially one and the same. Which is a bit unsettling.

Nah I've often kind of thought the same, there obviously are still trends you notice now and again, but it's not like the drastic differences that make photos from the 50s-90s so easy to instantly recognise the decade. If you showed me a picture of somebody now alongside a picture of somebody from 2014 I bet you could barely tell any difference at all, and then that would only be a slight advancement from the photo of someone in 2004.

Then again, I suspect it's just another way the second half of the 20th century was something of a historical anomaly, and we're just resuming the average.

I'd say you get away with wearing many of the clothes that were in fashion 30 years ago. But it depends what kind of clothes we're talking. We've kept most of the clothes of my brother who died over twenty years ago, and I've actually taken to wearing some of his short sleeve button shirts because they honestly don't look much different from what you see in shops these days. But suits and formal wear are different. Mid-90s to early 2000s formal wear was kind of very garish compared to today. Going by my brother's wardrobe again, suit jackets and trousers were definitely cut wider, with bigger lapels, colours were more bold, and mid-90s necktie fashion just looks comical today. You had people wearing ties with cartoon characters or psychedelic patterns to the office every day. I remember my brother actually bringing home a Bugs Bunny necktie from a holiday in the U.S.

It was also convenient if you were skinny. I weighed about 12 to 13 stone at not quite 6'2'' for most of my late teens to early 20s in the 90s. Wide shirts and jeans were my go-to to conceal my skinniness. I didn't look unwell, but 12 stone really isn't much at that height.

I've filled out since then at 17 stone now. A lot of it is body fat from years of self neglect, but it means I can wear a skintight T shirt without looking like I just got out of Darfur.

As a skinnylad myself I know from experience that never, ever works, it just makes you look even skinnier because you're drowned by your clothes. I eventually learned that you have to embrace your skeletal form and wear the smallest size you can get away with so that it sticks close to your body and gives you more of a lithe, agile, nimble kind of look.

I stand by saying that fit is everything with fashion. When somebody isn't "pulling off" their style, most of the time it's not the design that's the problem, just that they're not well fitted. You can't fool anybody into thinking you have a better physique, but you can wear something that's actually flattering.

Yep. As an example in the opposite direction, bad tailoring has done real harm to Rishi Sunak's image. He chooses an exaggeratedly fitted style of tailoring with very short cuffs, presumably because he thinks it looks cool and youthful, but it's totally inappropriate for a man in his position and it just exaggerates the awkward sixth-former vibes of his personality. I genuinely think he'd see a couple of percent swing in the polls if he started wearing suits that are appropriate for a middle-aged man in a senior management role. They'd be very subtle changes - an extra inch in the cuff, a slightly wider lapel, a little ease in the waist so his jacket doesn't pucker around the top button - but they'd radically change his image.

At this point, not even going door to door offering free blowies would improve Sunak's chances in the election.

And not everybody is cut out to play dull Englishman like somebody like John Major. I actually think he'd be less credible if he tried to channel some sort of middle aged boardroom executive vibe. His current visual image is a desperate yet futile attempt to win over conservative leaning young adults. For a guy in his early 40s, these days, that's actually (potentially) more credible than being 40 and attempting to pass for mid-50s.

I'm no expert on DJing or anything but just listened to two Boiler Room type sets back to back. The first one just played a load of intros to tracks that sample well known and popular beats but as soon as the rhythm keepers kicked in he'd move on to the next (with generous samples of just his name being yelled). The second one would play more of the tracks but randomly break up the flow with scratching - you can see the crowd getting hype then faltering and stopping dancing every time. Most of the audience of both ends up just milling around chatting or looking bored instead of dancing. These are professional DJs. Am I looking for the wrong things here? Aren't DJs supposed to get the crowd dancing and keep them dancing, not just hype themselves and show off?

There was more room for novelty records in those days. Record labels were more willing to take a chance. It was only in the late 90s to early 2000s that popular music became painfully bland and exchangeable. Even emo went full corporate.

It's one reason, but of course not the main reason why Napster, Kazaa and Gnutella got so big. Because people just didn't want to pay anymore for the shite that was being put out. Even if new music is mediocre, there's still a difference between getting it for free and being expected to pay for it.

It has about a second-year film student's level of depth. At the time, it was mainly seen as a searing satire of American middle class prosperity at the end of the 90s. Which was when the economic boom of the Clinton years had left many people complacent and bored to tears with their picture perfect suburban white middle class stability.

The sexual innuendo of a middle aged dad spaffing to his daughter's best friend, while far from unrealistic, was just thrown in as a plot device and as a way to intertwine the film's adult satire with the subplot of wry romantic teen comedy.

Office Space is another film from that era, which was in a similar vein poking fun at the senseless white middle class corporate grind and people's ability to flat out reject it. Because they could.

Neither film could, or would be made today. Not just because of American Beauty's veiled endorsement of noncing, but because the middle classes have very little to be bored about nowadays and are faced with constant fears of downward social mobility.

No, we still have similar media being created. Severance would be the most obvious in recent years, then there's Mad Men, Qualityland or you can point to how IT Crowd seems to have only grown in popularity. Also obviously Office Space flopped and became a cult film in the DVD era.

There's nothing especially unusual about the 90s for feelings of alienation. Marx was writing about it in the mid-1800s.

It's part of the quintessential mid-life crisis and you must have fallen asleep because the movie doesn't endorse noncing, it actually has him being horrified by the reality.

Again, you can't satirise middle class boredom if the middle class aren't bored. American Beauty was trying to unmask the affluence of the 90s economic boom and show how unhappy people were under that mask. It isn't that there haven't been boom and bust cycles since. There have. People were doing well before the 2007/08 financial crisis and before covid. But never again quite the way that they were at the end of the 90s. And American Beauty and Office Space tapped into that.

It was a moment in time, and I don't think you could pull off a similar believable satire/comedy film in the current economic climate.

Office Space on the other hand, nah, I think that one is pretty timelessly relatable. It would have worked two decades earlier and still worked two decades later.

I think the audience of the late '70s to early '80s would have at best confused and distressed by a film with a soundtrack comprised largely of '90s Hip-hop artists who would have been maybe ten or eleven years old at the time and yet to start their careers. Same goes for the cast, most of them were pre-teens in 1979 and that would have given the whole film a very different vibe. Unless we're talking about taking the finished 1999 film, sending that back 20 years and putting that out in the cinemas. That would probably give us a more accurate sense of "Does this work +/-20 years?" than a version starring children but most of the pre-teen cast will grow up haunted by the idea that there are aged doppelgänger out there with their same names. Never mind the potential butterfly effect from any of these things.

Very clever, but you know what I meant.

The office space (see what I did there) of the mid-late 70s and early 80s wouldn't have been too drastically different to that of the mid-late 90s, in terms of dull suffocating corporate beureuacracy*. Less computers sure, but your boss is still an arsehole, there's still traffic jams every morning, you're still spending your time doing ultimately meaningless busywork, and you still get thrown out on your arse with no thanks for your 20 years of service when the consultants come in. The premise would have still been entirely relatable.

Bring it twenty years forward, meanwhile, and frankly the only thing that would be meaningfully different at all is that they would have an open plan office and flatscreens instead of cubicles and CRTs.

I used to struggle with it but if you can remember "bureau" and "cracy" it suddenly slots together. Bureaucracy.

There was a time when Stock/Aitken/Waterman were really putting out ok music, for what it was and what it was supposed to be.

At this point in spring of 1988 with Hazell Dean, their sound was already starting to become tediously formulaic, but it's still part of my early memories as a younglad, so that's ok.

"Slave to the Rhythm" was intended as a single or album track for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, but Trevor Horn, ever the perfectionist, wasn't happy with how it was turning out because he felt it sounded too generic and was lacking punch, so he scrapped it and a year later reworked it from the ground up to become Grace Jones' biggest hit.
