Looks quite fun having a blog with a very active comments section (although that's kind of what dissensus is I suppose, except you have to sign up), esp when everyone's slagging each other off

Who was the designated hard man of that crew/CCRU? Luka with his arm like a toothpick?

i was an enduro-cyclist during those years and low body mass was vital. im beefy now.

I always pictured you as an East end thug. Wiley's right hand man.

When I saw you looking like an anorexic surfer waiting for a bus I was bitterly disappointed.

If we were a grime crew one of us would need to be on steroids. They'd be called "Big (insert name)". Big Versh.

Who's it actually addressing? I don't know anyone who doesn't engage with at least some new music, film, TV etc. It just feels like an attack on a vague impression of how certain people feel about contemporary culture when they're in a shit mood and venting online -- even Mark was listening to Drake, James Blake and whatnot.

I'm trying to think how to word this without falling into the trap myself, but I've noticed this sort of thing more and more. You get people raging against these nebulous, hypothetical groups they've semi-consciously constructed from scrolling through feeds, comment boxes etc and there's nothing specific enough for it to be much more than swinging at phantoms.

It's similar to when someone asks you whether you've "seen what they've done now" or tells you "everyone's going mad about ... " re: a given news item. Who? Is it "everyone" or is it some columnist or a few people on Twitter? Who or what are you actually angry with?

I read something the other day in a thread on history, conspiracy theory etc which overlaps with this a little,

The only “real history” is when these general nouns are entirely replaced with specific nouns— & this is to say “the CEO of Citadel” instead of “Wall Street” or “rich people”— & then these acronyms & names multiply infinitely— & no “total picture” is possible to keep in mind

i was very very thin till i hit my mid thirties then my metabolism slowed down and i became a Goliath

 

[Corpsey]

I was thinking that when I saw this twitter post a while back taking down "that guy who..." followed by a load of cultural markers. And yes they all applied to me and yes it stung!

But I also thought well you could say that about anyone, just change the signifiers.

A 5'6" Goliath I hear

Big versh's right though about that, the obsession with classifying everyone.

There's those "starter pack" memes you get too. They're often quite funny but it's quite basic, shallow humour too.

[Corpsey]

I was going to say, if that cafe Oto bastard even thinks about telling me not to talk about burial and nick land I'll break a saxophone over his blonde pate

any time someone wins in an argument just tell them you dont understand cos you dont read books and then tell them they sound like a student.

He's remarkably intelligent and eloquent and has sired three children with his golden bough of a ballbag.

 

[Corpsey]

This last page has become all bless the lads and again I see my reflection as a spud faced yokel from the sticks

He's remarkably intelligent and eloquent and has sired three children with his golden bough of a ballbag.

and he makes a six figure salary as one of the most sought after programmers in the united kingdom. and hes published several books. and he is an expert in the arrangement and performance of gregorian chant.
