Mmm…not sure. I insist my kids clap whenever I drop them anywhere. Like outside the car as i drive off.

The Clash. Other than a few tracks I just never saw the fuss, way better punk bands out there and I could never warm to Strummer.
Daft Punk. Apart from Rolling & Scratching and their Chord Memory remix.
Balearic in general but Ibiza overall.
Festivals.

When was the last time you went to a festival? I hated festivals from childhood, but was booked to play a tonne of them the last few years. Clean toilets, “glamping” with plugs and blow up beds, pulled pork every five yards, craft beers, nice coffee spots.
It was a very different experience for me, it was like that Adam Buxton song.
Literally everything in your response is the reason I loathe festivals. It’s the gentrification of everything.
Plus I think they are largely responsible for people facing the DJ.

LinkedIn, Linkedin, Linkin… whatever the crap it’s called. Full of egotistical, narcissists, like a ‘Jeans and Shooz*’ departure lounge for Dubai…
*Never knew that was a thing either till I came on here.
So that too…

there’s official festivals inc and then there’s proper festivals though… when you’re with 300 kindred spirits in a remote field and all the ingredients are right, leading congas to harry thurmann’s underwater, eating one pie all weekend, flirting with someone from Hemel Hempstead in fairy wings on a haystack you do find yourself thinking life can never really get any better

Like Facebook I have always avoided joining it. Putting regular updates on there regarding what you have achieved at work takes it up
Another level.

I just remembered something I don’t get:
Fuckin obi strips and the obsession people have with them. I toss em out as soon as I get ‘em. Same goes for old shrinkwrap.

Yes! I’ve never got obi strips for records you want to actually handle and play. They never last long.

I honestly don’t know what they are. But I see it alongside 'free download ’ when you buy vinyl… Why do I want a download of a record I just bought?

Obi Strips are the straps of paper that are often around books and rekkids… usually some twatty designer thinks they look cool (never did one ever honest), no practical use whatsoever, lots of Japanese books have them, hence the name which comes from the ‘obi’ that wraps around a Kimono.

The one good thing about obi strips is sometimes you can catch a good copy of a rare record for cheap because of a damaged or missing obi. Talk about fetishized record collecting vs collecting for the sake of music…

I hate them, they do look cool if you have a nice clean one on a record but they are such a pain in the ass to take care of and try no to rip. Ive damaged a few in my time. And modern non-japanese records with them on just do my head in.

Out here on the West Coast, we call that stuff 'Playa House" due to its favored status amongst the Burning Man crew.
