They did not sound like what I was expecting first time I listened to one of their records. Maybe I was wrong to expect a psychedelic jam band, maybe starting with American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead did not give me a representative view.
The way people talking about them I was expecting something really out there like Gong or Acid Mothers Temple!
Check out MC Solaar if you’d like to hear some French rap.
Or Nujabes - DJ who collabed with a lot of conscious rappers in the 00s - for some “light” rap. I’m underselling him but imagine a Dave Brubeck for rap instead of jazz; technically amazing but easy listening / quite poppy.
Psytrance. I had a bad experience at a psytrance club night as a student where I’d uh consumed my entertainment from the evening at halls of residence, but then my mate gave me another for free at the night. Wasn’t feeling too intoxicated before that so thought, “ah fuck it.” This, dear reader, was a mistake.
I made it about 2.5 hours before begging my gf (now wife) to leave because I thought the whooshing effects they use on the tracks was repeatedly saying my name.
After leaving the nightclub I instantly felt better and the rest of the evening was ok. Just psytrance has never sounded the same.
As an aside, weird crowd there, like lots of millenials like myself who seemed to be neurodiverse or emotionally troubled in some way - including the scantily clad young women. But then there were also older men there who were a mixture of drug dealers and losers who appeared to be out for drugged up teen genitalia of some one kind or the other. This was 13-14 years ago and I noticed a similar phenomenon at house music clubs jn the intervening years (don’t go clubbing much these days lol).
Better watch out for Japanese whaling vessels lol
This is why I’m adopting if I ever decide with my wife to be parents. Can’t imagine the guilt of my DNA looking me in the eye and asking why “did you make me?”
Fake: Anon’s dad returned to the family home after “going out for some smokes”
Gay: Anon shares repressed feelings with another man
They are not a great analogy because they at least have a legit use in medicine.
That said, not really sure what the best analogy for SAAS slot machines would be. Even playing them for free you still have the sensation of pulling down on the device (phone screen/machine lever) and then the “spin” with variable rate rewards.
One, Chewbaca needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Chewie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking “Where’s Chewie”?
I mean yeah it was a shit film but it obviously had “business” being made because it was the highest grossing film ever for a while. I think it was the start of Holywood going out their way to crack the Chinese market (or at least the first time they did it successfully).
I’m sure this is common knowledge but Lyon’s worker uprising in the 19th century is the origin of the word ‘sabotage’. The workers were protesting against semi-automated loom weaving machines that used punch cards like primitive computers. When the managers weren’t looking the workers would through their shoes (which were called “sabos”) into the mechanism to break it.
Just got back from a holiday in Lyon. Super interesting place! I got the impression that the quality of life was good for the locals. Met a bunch of friendly Lyonnaise at a music festival and they were extremely generous sharing their party supplies.
Edit: I believe Lyon workers movement were also originators of slogans like “workers of the world unite”
I’m starting a new party for punching babies with Corbyn as leader. He’s left me on read but the media need to hear about this innovating new alternative NOW.
Separate comment: Tom English gets way too much shite in the comments section of BBC Sport articles. Makes me embarassed to have so many xenophobic compatriots. It shouldn’t be relevant but the dude is married to a Scot with two Scottish sons - what more do you want?
I think salty fans are taking our dire record against Ireland out on him.
Schoe is the man. One of my friend’s husband was the official SRU translator for Bofelli at Edinburgh and got to know him fairly well. Lovely guy - very religious - just as nice when out of the media glare. (Unfortunately confirmed a few rumours about RSA schoolboy rugby but I wouldn’t take 3rd hand gossip as fact if I were reading this comment.)
Watching the Irish crowd at the Lions - Argentina game and hearing them chant SCHOOO was heart warming.
Horne put a shift in. He should have been a Lion.
Apparently it was a non-capped test match so not sure how much it counts but I’m pleased with the effort away from home at any rate.
You tuned in at the perfect time to have a heart attack!
On a train to London right now so caught last 10 of Wales - Japan. Now watching FRA - NZ with French commentary, "mais oui, mai oui, c’est superb - quelle match!
There are at least 2 open source dating apps that I’ve seen, although one of them has 4chan branding. Not sure about the other.
Thanks for explaining
None of the above because I’m no longer a teenage edgelord
I remember hanging out with a friend who was telling me about his decaying relationship with this song playing in the background.
