I bought a Bell Biv Devoe album from a charity shop in Tunbridge Wells a few months ago. It is ace. New R&B, well: I like Fantasia, K Michelle, and Quadron. As for Corpsey's point above, too much of what's called R&B these days is EDM/trap-based; the aforementioned are all kinda trad r&b, but...

Since I appear to be on Dissensus for the first time in months I might as well dredge up the video game thread before I have to get up early to talk to people in Hungary about .CSV files (no, really). Good things I have enjoyed lately: Metal Gear Rising: kinda Bayonetta again, very short and...

Hello Dissensus. Due to the death of the Funky/London House thread (and by association, Funky London House) and general, erm, goings-on, I have been away. I hope you are all well. I have invoked the tiresome cliche of the title because I have had the most ridiculous two days. I wanted to unload...

Yeah, I'm in again too. Need to think of a terrible pun for my team name but there are 3 weeks to go so I'm sure I'll come up with something. If Robin van Pizzle moves to Juventus (as looks likely), who will be the striker of choice this season?

Not watching, but listening - the Greg Proops podcast ("The Smartest Man in the World") is great, he's not only very funny but enormously likeable. I loved Grandma's House (both series) but I know a lot of people struggled with it. It is excruciating at times, more cringey than Curb, Peep Show...

Could probably put this on a garage thread but it's not classic 2-step and it's certainly not "future" garage, so this will do. Royal-T remixes nation's sweatheart (I like that typo, it stays), and it's not getting an official release for some obscure reason, but damn is this good: I found a...

Firstly, hello again. I've spent the last two months playing Skyrim and getting fat (these two facts are not unrelated). Guetta didn't just pop into superstar producer status from nowhere - his 'Fuck me I'm famous' nights were a big deal in Paris and Ibiza for ages (playing, oddly enough...

I'm not sure if they do this every year, but Time have published their '100 most influential people in the world' list. I counted, and I know who 21 of them are. The rest can't be that influential, then, can they? Or am I an uncultured oik? Or is it that, despite being 'in the world', the list...

They are an acquired taste, for sure. The guy in the shop told me he'd had several potential sales vetoed by unhappy girlfriends. I love them, the last pair I had have lasted me 5 years and are still as comfy as they day I bought them. Sure, more subdued colours might be preferable, but the...

Forgive me, I'm drunk and full of meat. I do quite like the original, too, but I adore this.

I bought these in both colour schemes. They look foolish (as do I), but are the most comfortable trainers money can buy. I recommend them highly.

The best example of turd-polishing I know. Annoyingly, this youtube version is a bit glitchy, but no matter. Mixes really well with jungle, too, if you're so inclined. (I'm thinking 'Warhead' by Krust, maybe.) Inexplicably, this went top 10 by dint of being on the b-side of the Manics' cover of...

Not listened to this but I thought it might be of interest, download available. Some kind of 'Grey Album' idea.

Do it. Bayonetta is my favourite game of the last five years. Aside from the bizarre Japanese humour and eye-melting graphics, it is enormous fun to play and one of those games that you keep getting better at and hence wring increasing satisfaction from. So deep, too - each new weapon you unlock...

This is absolutely berserk, Teddy Riley really knows how to do the 'extended' remix properly. Manages to be quite housey, big piano vamps (almost hardcore stabs in their way) and a cracking deployment of the "Breaking Bells" loop (or whatever that break is called). The bit at around 6.15 - 6.45...

Innit. I wonder if Tim has ever seen Fawlty Towers. "Pretentious, moi?" (He probably hasn't.)

I do hope 'Arry sees it through with Spurs this season and, if he must take over, does so after Euro 2012. Spurs have been a revelation this year and I think they'd fall apart if Redknapp and his saggy face depart. I care more about the Premiership being entertaining than whether England do well...

As with her 'version' of the Lone track, she's done some lyrics over a Machinedrum track. I think this one works better, largely because there's more singing than rapping (the sung part of 212 is definitely what makes it for me - after all the 'cunts' it's a refreshing 'wha?' moment and makes...

Timbaland completely stole a piece of Commodore 64 music by a Finnish unknown for a track on a Nelly Furtado album, and freely admits to it, too. The poor Finnish dude hadn't the funds to pursue it legally. When interviewed about it, Timbo gave this eye-poppingly cuntish quote: You can read...

This wasn't too popular, was it? Bum. Lots of love to Mr. Tea for his elaborate entry, though. (Cooking instructions, too! I shall try some of them.) I stand firm on the goose fat issue. I don't want my potatoes to taste meaty. Olive oil confers crispness but doesn't dominate the basic potato...
