Random memory. New Year's Eve, 2001. Our late night plans fell through, all back to mine

All the gear but no idea. We tuned into a local pirate radio station playing hardcore and drum and bass. They had an MC doing shout outs, so we called for a giggle, thinking up the most ridiculous names and messages to hear on the airwaves

"Big up MC Badger and the B Potter crew" and so on

We quickly worked out the MC was as fucked as us and just repeated what we said in his ear, no filter, just said whatever we said, or what he thought we said, over the airwaves 2 seconds later

Best new years night ever, the random shit he was spouting had us howling

Plans are for losers

Not exactly a comedy but Heartstopper definitely fits the bill.

A friend, a very experienced digital artist in the commercial sector, sent me a logo recently for my opinion. He does this every so often because as a former visual artist and a friend with an honest "punters eye" he likes to sense check with me occasionally

The logo was fine, but it was for his internal department of creatives called "The Content Factory".
Makes my skin crawl this language

"Content" sounds like filler, not art. Cover this surface content monkey

"Factory", production line drones putting out pre-determined products, a sweatshop rather than an artistic status

It's disrespectful but buzzword culture makes it sound cool somehow

I blame Stock, Aitken and Waterman

Maybe I'm just grumpy

That Norman Pain track is stuck in my head. Feels very real. Not perfect but raw, truthful.

I think it's innate up to a point, then becomes finessed and influenced by experience

Having played a wide range of music around babies and very small children (my own, I'm not a preschool DJ) I've seen reactions that track with the tone of the music

I was playing a Techno record when my eldest kid was very small. He ran out of the room to his bed. We went in and he said "I scared, from de music". Oddly he said it in a slightly English/Dutch accent which we've carried as a family catchphrase ever since for anything unsettling. He was 4 at the time

The track was this, he had a point

3 Phase - Der Klang der Familie

The Pete n Bas old age Grime/UK Rap scene may have more than a little novelty factor about it but sometimes they go hard

Norman Pain is one of their collaborators with a genuine energy and rawness (I've seen him live)

This track talks about homelessness, self harm and guilt. Seems pretty legit and I found it powerful because of that

In some contexts I believe it's a good thing. This one, reading between the lines, not so much 😂

Letting me down gently, bless you sweet Annie ❤️

In hindsight, I think I may have misinterpreted the comment "your Dad is sick" as a compliment 😀

Someone needs to create an Uber style app for parents driving their teenage kids and friends around

Helpful from an organisational perspective, but more so, I want Kyle and Grace to be able to rate D's Dad's banter, music choices and quality of road rage outbursts

I know they're impressed, they just don't have the forum to express it
