I quite like his Count Arthur Strong vibes and banter, reminds me of a few mates… I’ll get me cap*

Yeah same here. Makes it more of a personal experience which I don’t mind at all really
I think I posted it earlier in this thread but another who needs to give the mouth a rest when DJ’ing is Moodymann. Fair enough if doing a radio show or similar but when playing out it is erm quite annoying.

Yes still the same.
Don’t worry you are not alone so if you get banned a few more may have to go too ha

a few people like Luke Una became folk heroes during lockdown, lifting spirits when everyone was bored out of their minds & don’t really have a problem with that tbh. but I do have a slight issue with the deification of DJs though (even those I greatly admire). eg Harvey gets a similar degree of hero-worship as say Weatherall but I don’t think he has generated quite the same kind of fanatical online communities? it gets weird for me when fan groups actually turn into cults, the absolute intensity to everything. I totally get the ‘family’ aspect, 40-50 somethings getting a second wind, + the reunions are fun esp for those of us thousands of miles from old pals - but the sycophancy and that whole Northern Soul kind of tribalism all feels a bit OTT. I sometimes feel like an ‘outsider’ going on those pages.

Totally agree. The ALFOS/Convenanza thing, great as the nights are/have been, it is like a cult

I think he’s a genuinely funny guy and Instagram is the perfect platform for him. he’s been in the club trenches since the year dot and, in a world with plenty of bland careerist DJs, he seems put his heart and soul into it. might not be for everyone but it’d be a duller place without him.

He was brilliant at Spiritland the other week. Really nice 4hr set, great tunes, well paced, perfect really. I really like the music he plays tbh.

re: Unas. they played Dalston Superstore 10 years or so back and played an amazing stretched out edit of Electronic getting away with it. not the greg wilson one. may have been the revenge? but never been able to find it since. (anyone?)
I like Bandcamp. It’s my first port of call to find if something is available as digital. I tend to look for specific things on there or follow up on recommendations/ purchases from others I follow. I like the idea that you can flick through others’ collections and it does throw up things you’ve never heard.

I know all these weird people with differing opinions. It’s outrageous.

Can’t believe I never realy spotted this thread before! Here goes a quick hit and run.
Daft Punk
Dam Funk
Post 70s Herbie Hancock and 99% of modern jazz that tries to sound like the 50s/60s/70s greats
Jordan Rakei
Heavy autotune unless used experimentally
Greggs sausage rolls
Stone Island
Why Americans changed the spelling of loads of perfectly good English words
Nationalism
Why people who’ve got poorly set up average sound systems and are playing poorly recorded, badly pressed records say vinyl “sounds better”. “I prefer the sound of vinyl” I accept.
That’s probably enough for now

I really like BC. I probably buy 90% of my music on there these days. I’ve also discoveres loads of ace new bits on there by going down rabbit holes

I use Bandcamp to listen to albums not available on CD. It seems to play for free. Maybe there’s a limit so you have to buy after one hundred plays or something but I haven’t reached it. I don’t see why anyone would buy when it’s free, unless you need the file to DJ with. I like CDs as there’s a CD player in our car but maybe the next car won’t have one, in which case I’d have to reconsider Bandcamp. That will be in about 5 years I guess as our car is doing just fine for now.
I think they’ve imposed a 5 play limit on BC now.
They have on me anyway…

And add a 6k rotary to that shonky sound ecosystem, cos that teak box will sort it all out.
Steve Cobby on FB last week: “The thing I needed to work out was how to make a living from the few hundred loyalists that have stayed with me through thick and thin. And that’s what BANDCAMP did. There is no way I could make any money if I still worked via the old model and had to pay label managers and secretaries. My ‘clout’ doesn’t warrant it. The support that I get from my little coterie is massively heartening and keeps me going tbh.

We suffered through this over the weekend–some brilliant photography for sure but the plot was utterly conventional and Adam Driver was one-note. And the music was…awful.
