Comment on my youtube channel beneath the John Lewis re-edit I did replacing Where Love Lives with Hardfloor’s Acperience
2025 has been a very odd year.
People who almost certainly experienced house through the lens of The Hitman and Her trying to take ownership of house because of a shit John Lewis advert?
Roll on 2026
Made me think of this chap. He clearly owns ‘hip hop’. All that pontificating, flipping the sleeve over, pointing and nodding.

The main character in my novel has a touch of this about him…
This whole thing where 50 year old men records videos of themselves listening to records (and sometimes waving they’re hands or looking at a sleeve) from their youth often at a home DJ setup is perhaps the most boring thing that has ever happened to the music i like. Stop it!
I was told that I need to do it for my instagram where I just share a picture of the record and a one minute clip “to gain traction” and I am self-aware enough to know that not a soul wants a video of me doing much of anything, so I won’t be doing that. I find it incredibly cringe.
It’s the whole thing of having a microphone involved that really gets to me. I feel embarrassed for them.
They think it’s giving “Look at my Underground Resistance Promo. I know ball!”.
The reality is it’s giving straight up “twat!”.
Some of them are getting over a million views and likes though, so what do I know.
Cheers babes

Not yet. Will be a while before it’s officially published, if at all.
But Friday is the day I go public with my, er, artisinal promotional run. I’ll post a link to a half-price friends and family deal if anyone’s interested.
I obviously don’t know either, my instagram isn’t exactly a success story even though i post better records than those losers. It’s just what people do for likes.
I was told recently that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to take a local DJ (that I absolutely despise) as an example of how to get traction on socials. I said, "I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, what makes you think I wanted to “succeed” lol.
I could insert any one of 30 vacuous Sydney DJ cunts into that scenario and still guess who you are referring to correctly. (wipes exasperated sweat with “Tune” towel).
@Moodynann - that guy in the hip hop clip you posted triggers my disdain of white dudes (and it’s always a white dude) who both gatekeep and also think they “own” black music culture.
I’ve tried several times to unpack this and have now given up. There’s too much wrong with it, and I don’t mean AI thinking our Lads were sent to fight in bowler hats.
Rampling Marching Band set?
