  • Steve Parks,

    Which song do you mean, Danielle? The LND one??

  • TracyMac,

    That was too cute for words.

    TBGLs or GTBLs or LGTBs or whatever that is
    ...
    There's no set rule but I find Large Gin, Bit of Tonic to be a helpful mnemonic.

    Nope, there's totally no rule, but that's a good mnemonic for general Friday night purposes. I tend to mix up the acronym randomly, myself, somewhat ironically. I tend to stick to "queer" most of the time, or the individual labels for those whose teeth that word sets on edge.

  • Grant Dexter,

    There's nothing I can do about it. I was born this way. :)

  • Russell Brown,

    Also: I love Lily Allen. Apart from that 'meaningful' song about how everyone's doing too many drugs. You are too young to have that epiphany, Lily!

    She started early and went hard.

  • Russell Brown,

    PS: Danielle -- just for you.

    Another lovely social media project: an unofficial remix of Daft Punk's Human After All album, with 10 of the leading Hype Machine blogs commissioning a mix each:

  • Danielle,

    Which song do you mean, Danielle?

    'Everyone's At It'.

    She started early and went hard.

    I do respect that. I just don't see why she has to spoil everyone else's fun by telling them what big fat drug addicts they are. :)

    (I also just found her cover of ELO's 'Mr Blue Sky'. How did I miss this?)

  • Russell Brown,

    Also: a seriously trippy dub mix of The Streets' 'Blinded by the Lights'.

    Woah.

    And a link burgled from Mr Grigg:

    Gregory Isaacs. Yes.

  • Danielle,

    Heh. That grindy noise in 'Human After All' is probably going to blow out my crappy speakers.

    Also: a seriously trippy dub mix of The Streets' 'Blinded by the Lights'

    Duuuuuude. Did someone slip something really delightful into my coffee? :)

  • Russell Brown,

    Deeply irresponsible and highly invigorating video with drug use and nightclub toilet sex:

    Welcome to modern Britain. Everyone's at it.

  • Peter Darlington,

    You're on fire this week Mr Brown, keep 'em coming.

    I can recommend some of the brilliant High Contrast remixes of The Streets on hypem as well.

    Oooh. I don't do a lot of d 'n' b, but that's pretty fine. Only problem: the actual download link is broken ...

    I had to laugh at myself playing that 'Blinded By the Lights' mix this afternoon, family out of the house, new kitchen stereo cranked up louder than I have previously dared ...

    There's a bass frequency after the breadown about a third of the way through that's very irie indeed .

    Some mo'?

    Lilly Allen, 'I Could Say' (Doc Fritz remix) -- same fluffy cloud feeling as the original, but with a disco beat.

    And Lilly Allen, 'Never Gonna Happen' (Dr Rosen Rosen Mix)

    I've been playing the latter a lot in the car. It calms me. But why is everyone a doctor?

    (Rationalisation for replacing 10 year-old kitchen stereo with spanking Yamaha jobbie: It was such a bargain it would have been rude not to . New car stereo speakers: the factory ones were poked .)

  • Jackie Clark,

    Russell, that is such a delightful and tearinducing vid. I have to admit to not being that up with Lily Allen, but I will have to investigate further.
