I don't know if it's just *gestures vaguely around* but I expected to listen to the Mandy Indiana record once in a generally appreciative way and then never again, but instead I'm finding it incredibly addictive
I was just thinking I don't actually know what that song is. (Also where are all these Men At Work fans coming from?)
This was very obviously a route ahead for pop that the dead-eyed Guettaverse refused to take
Luda may encounter some challenges shouting out to all the women in the house there
It's not just you - I've been refamiliarising myself with a lot of the music I was listening to from 2011-15 and those years all just blur into one. Way more distinct before and after that though
I'm reading a history of electronic music that is accusing acid house era Britain of paying insufficient attention to black American producers, which is fine except the book also devotes more attention to Keith Allen than Frankie Knuckles. (In the latter case, none at all)
Is that photo 30 years old or does Pat Metheny actually look like that now?
The notion that they were only voting on foreign policy (easily separable from increasingly unwelcoming-to-outright-hostile domestic policy) is in itself an extremely loaded line of argument.
*Except the artwork, that was great
At time I was on record - to quite a tedious level - as finding this label and its whole aesthetic* deeply suss but this is the one track that redeems them. There's a joy to it that's absent in other NS releases
It was going to be a tough day at work so I went full UR on the way in. Never done that in the morning before but it worked.
Woah I played this on the way into work this morning
Is 'She's Lost Control' the first recorded incidence of putting a donk on it?
This seemed very determindly anti-rhythmic at the time, in a primary school recorder lesson kind of way. I blamed that on the guy from Test Icicles and rightly so, Solange has made good records since and Dev never has
Personally I would have replaced Sophie Ellis-Bextor with Lily Allen but you can't have everything
To whom do I report this algorithmic hate crime?
Loved this (also that casting choice at the end made me appreciate quite how fantastic the acting is throughout)
The money was behind the TV all along.
Something's often going to get in the way though? Someone's at the door, the match is about to start, your commute ends. I wonder how it compares to people bailing out of a film before the end
I've just looked and it doesn't make a huge amount of sense. I mean, the Deftones and Pinkpantheress are not exactly aimed at the same demographic
Yeah it's usually the flat, featureless bits of parks that are taken out of action. Victoria Park has huge areas that would be completely unsuitable for a festival. With Brockwell Park I get it because it isn't that big and there's so little other green space nearby
There's an occasional festival site outside our building, the kinds of festivals that have have Jools Holland, Squeeze and Madness playing every year. There's a genuine sadness to standing looking at the wreckage of a field and thinking 'all this for boogie-woogie piano'.
I can strongly recommend playing this song in a room with small children and balloons. (Also I've just realised who you are)
Two things that are in such short supply in East London
I mean I've definitely read both of these books before
Very excited to play this Great American Novel card game as designed by @vincennes.bsky.social as a birthday present
There's room for a Little Chef as well, from time to time
I have also seen this posited as the reason why there was never a British Springsteen. There is no truly open road when you keep hitting the musical equivalent of Newport Pagnell Service Station
