There's a clip in the documentary I linked above, of Derrick May explaining how he came up with the piano riff for strings of life.

Can't remember exactly what he says but something about walking around his flat "nekkid"

Speaking of rave/jungle, here's an interesting vid about the "Amen break"

"one of the most sampled breaks of all time"

Loads of people I knew a bit as a kid, used to go on about going to raves up north. This would have been the early 90s. It all seemed cool and underground (and a bit scary) but I never went to any. At the time, the charts - the charts still being big and important in those days - had all sorts of "r...

I mentioned above my mates and I used to be into Drum n bass and happy hardcore. Found the video of one of the big raves we went to: https://youtu.be/5eKGZv7kpWw And if you go to 1:05:35 you'll see a 16 year old Womack and his mate. I'm the one doing the wanky dance. A bit of early cultural appropr...

Nope. Sky have the rights, but they only seem to show England home games.

Shame. Glad I didn't miss it then because I completely forgot it was on.

I don't actually have a problem with Brexiteers celebrating - despite being as remoany as they come I don't detect any severe twattery apart from the genuine morons like Farage. But this actually makes me sad - in it's utter shitness - that this is what it all comes down to (from the BBC live feed):...

I'm still quite confused about how having vastly inferior trade arrangements with the EU can be compensated for by having better trade arrangements with the USA, Australia and so on. It makes no logical sense, and even a trade/economics dunce like me can quite quickly discover that the often uttered...

“most” ? This sounds like a lot of people, can you name any?

I see Mairead McGuinness asked the Brexit party to take their flags with them.

This is from months ago on the Daily Mash, but made me chuckle: Man who lives in tiny village accuses Londoners of 'living in a bubble' A MAN who lives in a village with a population of 72 has accused people who live in a massive cosmopolitan city of being somehow separated from the real world.

Didn't see it, but I expect he answered every question by simply saying "The Tories" in a scouse accent.

What we need to be talking about is good old, much mocked, health and safety. Tucking into a bat looks bloody disgusting to me, but then if I hadn't been socially conditioned to think it's OK, ripping the head of a prawn, slipping down an oyster or tucking into a lobster would look pretty grim, but ...

Trump has made it quite clear that he doesn't regard a "memorandum of understanding" to be any sort of commitment on his part, so not sure if that's all that useful. Nobody really thinks it's "useful". They need to make noises about doing deals, friendly journalists can feign great joy and exciteme...

It's as if they see trade negotiations as just politics to be spun - detail not important. Talk tough - get some photo opportunities lined up to show how quickly we're talking to the USA, sign some "memorandum of understanding" or some shit so you can shake hands for the Telegraph front page and Twe...

McDonnell is a vastly superior communicator to Corbyn but is still probably too linked to the ideological left for most people's tastes. And quite likely to set up death camps.

I feel pretty out of touch with club rugby despite watching as much as possible (long gone are the days I'd watch all televised matches).

I suspect we'l find this is a bit more hassle than it's worth, Boris will kick it into the long grass, the Telegraph will say remainers blocked it, and everyone will move on.

Some years ago I got into the habit of listening to old WBMX programmes (Chicago radio station) on YouTube.

One of the pathetic things I've ever seen is the various leftists in Labour who pretend the Blair years didn't happen.

That new Corbynite MP muppet the other day said we'd endured "40 years of Thatcherism", and today Clive Lewis saying Labour were only really in power in 1945.

FFS.

If DAC was still about he'd appreciate this (in amongst whatever race baiting comments he had up his sleeve).
