    Droid Inna Dancehall - Old skool(ish) ragga mix for DL

    Happy Punter Loving this Droid, thanks. Used to have Capleton's Mankind on a tape from my big bro back in the day. Very happy to hear it again. I'm surprised by how calm and spacious the rythyms are. Nice.

    Jeff Wayne "War Of The Worlds"

    Me too. I spent a lot of time working through the image on the front cover as well. Nasty business. :eek:

    Cooking pasta. Oil in the water or not?

    As does the majority of mine. When you fry with Olive Oil does the oil become "bad"? I hope not.

    Glasto

    Perhaps those too poor or lazy to score a Glasto ticket would consider Priddy Folk Fayre as an alternative. It's in Somerset and enjoys a similarly relaxed "vibe" .

    any chance that we could have a culinary section of dissensus?

    Pet word hates

    The phone rings, you answer. The voice at the other end says: " Is Mrs Gerard there at all?" UH? Is there a chance of her only being "slightly here" or "nearly completely here but her voice may be a tad faint"? Also the incessant use of "in terms of". This is worst in the work place. For...

    "urban:" explain the arguments against it...

    "... but a lot of people really object to the term. any ideas why?" Perhaps because they consider "urban" a euphemism for ghetto.

    just plain depressing

    "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" I was thrown out of class aged 5 and heard this through the door. Makes me sad every time my wife and daughter sing it

    Yes Yes Yes!!!

    I moved to Somerset in October and am living up in the Mendips in an isolated farm house. The first day of sunshine felt like the South of frickin France after MONTHS of cold and soupy gloom. The landscape looked completely and indescribably different and all our hearts leapt for joy. Yes, yes...

    bleep 'n' bass -- an anachronistic term?

    Dance music with bleeps Network released two comps. called "Dance music with bleeps" in '90/'91. Detroit stuff alongside Nexus 21 and Rythmatic. These records turned me on to techno. My friend Al used to call it Ping Pong techno.

    The Media Cool.

    Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall is very nearly a media butcher, as is Fergus Henderson of St John. Although, given that H F-W is involved in animal husbandry and Fergus H in cooking meat, there does seem be a clear gap for a media-friendly middleman. How long would it take to train as a butcher and...

    The Media Cool.

    Media Grocers The greengrocers on Turnham Green Terrace (which was my local) was staffed by messy haired geezers. They all looked very hip! I guess they may have been media grocers. . The butchers on the other side of the road were of the ruddy-faced old school, though. Hasn't there been a...

    Hunter S. T. R.I.P.

    Freak Power Given his twin obsessions with firearms and mind altering, a BANG would seem the way to go. My fave HST piece (aside from car boot inventory in Fear and Loathing, naturally) is Freak Power in the Rockies, wherein our hero , with the support of local freak population, narrowly...

    Getting Drunk with your Dad

    there was a poster up in the waiting room of my old doctor in Swiss Cottage. It detailed the tell-tale signs of alcoholism on of which (no kidding) was "Drinking with members of lower social classes".
