That's proper music discussion! I love how uncivil it gets. like "I'm not a fan of the lyrics to be honest. YOU FUCKING CUNT"

Alkaline has calmed (neutralized?) in his old age I feel It's weird how Stripey was regarded as some sort of gatekeeper around here. Liked hip hop and electronic stuff when this site was heavily guitar-y, which was nice and clearly had some great ideas/insights about music but really he was mostly just purposefully antagonistic. To the point it became quickly pointless to engage with him. A troll with a thesaurus IMO

It's funny how the classic ab-mus response to any criticism "Unlike you(s) who slag folk off on the internet, I have a life" has died out entirely because everyone is on the internet now slagging folk off. That equating of internet use to social skills has pretty much gone nowadays.

So many long-gone members in there. Wonderful stuff

That’s the one. Good forum member

That’s gold! some highlights off the top of my head: - me : ‘the universe is actually shaped like a donut’ teabags : ‘so technically you could fuck it?’ - noid roid was a good poster. - tags (‘I’m kind of a big Jan Deal’) - kernel loaf popping up with an obscure reference just when you thought a thread was about to die - moon moon/cool thinker were the beginning of the ‘banter years’. Not in a fun way. - early John W - who was the ICT fan that posted a lot? - That photoshopped thumbs up pre-meme meme (can’t remember the story) - the girl who started the TV thread wading in for about 2 months with quality content and decent chat then disappearing without a trace. -telecaster Sam and his questionable politics at some point I lost track of who’s who. Folk changed names all of a sudden.

Seeing as this site’s seemingly on its arse and about to die out any minute, thought it’d be nice to have one last (potentially) half-decent attempt at a thread. This site has been a staple for me for years. Check it maybe once a day still. It’s nice to have a place online to interact with folks with some common ground, without having to see pics of their kids and holidays like on fb. so, what are some of your favourite moments over the years? What was the site’s heyday? Which members do you miss? ill wade in with some of mine if anyone else joins in.

This album on repeat for the last month. I've decided it's my favourite record ever - something i've never really thought about before to be honest, but yeah this is my favourite now after an extended reappraisal. I'm gonna have to get a copy that is better quality than what's on Spotify. This track is like the 6th best on it too.

fuck sake.

Can someone stick a stannah on Roger Bannister for Stephen Hawking?

I chucked my fb account a few months ago - is the fb group poppin? Please share, I feel left out. Real shame to have lost one of the greatest thinkers of our time. That fella in the wheelchair dying is sad too

Not only is Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog Dead but Ken Dodd himself is dead.

Compositionally (is that a word?) it's pretty fantastic. I just wish there were more instruments.

This is a tough listen. It's like regular music plotted in a midi program. I'd much rather listen to the original (that doesn't exist) but it has some good moments. Some of the more droney buzzing bits are nice. Don't think I could listen to many full albums of chiptune stuff.

That's Trevor Baylis gone. Heard it just now on the radio... thought it was a wind up! https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/05/trevor-baylis-inventor-wind-up-radio-dies-aged-80

That’s sad news. They were indeed always very ‘tight’ - a term that makes me nostalgic in itself. Probably the Aberdeen band I’ve seen the most in my lifetime from days working in Drummond’s. They had their set down to a T, knew exactly how they wanted it to sound and didn’t fanny about getting drunk and bugging folk before/after. Professional is the word.

...And on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we chilled on Sunday

TRF with DD is a classic. I'd recommend moving onto his other esteemed work such as 'Britain's Deadliest Men' and 'I Believe in UFOs'

Kirsten straight in there with her joker. This year off to a belter!

Bill Oddie and Will.I.am electrocuted in tragic Doncaster Christmas lights incident.

Horrific James Corden/Ed Sheeran carpool karaoke pile-up guaranteed
