william gass book superb so far, obv - the guy has a wonderfully limber way of evoking the emotional affects of the material, the manner in which different people construct divergent and contradictory metanarratives from the same stimuli.

happy birthday lj

ty nakhers.

btw whoever deciphers my DN wins a prize of some sort

Im willin to bet glen handa island is forced, whatever the no scott-free ruairi bits turn out like

*dives into volcano*

hb, imago (aka lj, aka the young & restless). gass offgasses a bit more than I care for, but yes, he's able to write like a house afire, too.

imago, what is your favourite situation comedy?

what u think of this archival track by the band massive attack and the artist mos def

whoa, this is tasty, dig the synths especially

mos def's delivery works well with the track as well, maybe they should have collaborated more?

the synths are exquisite

im not sure that massive attack really recorded two tracks better than this in the last 16 yrs but the poll hath spoken

yeah I'm on my third listen now, it really is quite beautiful

fairly sure this is the best thing mos def ever did too although anyone with a better recall of fin de siecle backpack rap is invited to differ

my favourite massive attack song was always 'group four' with its grand kosmische gestures, shifting tonal sands and polychromatic piano stylings - this is quite possibly a more impressive sonic feat though

that album is mostly sublime, i have a lot of residual enthusiasm for that sullen, paranoid period of the uk album by bands scene 98-2000 when mezzanine, xtrmntr and kid a all troubled the upper reaches of the charts ('mbv arkestra' on a #3 lp.......)

yeah, that was an important time for british music, especially as it (may have) roused the greats to some of their greatest greatnesses (levitate -> the unutterable, confield, musick to play in the dark etc)

and speaking of coil, have you heard this

how do u feel abt the band #the 1975#

THE 1975 The 1975 - Why is this album 16 tracks long? It's...not as bad as I expected! I mean, obviously it's horrible overproduced electro-rock crap of some base and abysmal order, but...it's listenable, plenty of sonic texture. These are the worst track-titles in the history of music, though - that's inescapable. I seriously can't imagine what sort of a terrible, terrible person you'd have to be to call your songs by these titles, especially in aggregation. It comes off like a list of vacuous lifestyle tropes, a sort of consumer-catalogue of topics The 1975's shadowy record-label cabal told them to write about. "Write songs about...the city, money, sex, girls, clothing, maybe a sexual encounter, maybe settling down with a loved one...and keep the titles simple". Clearly these 1975 boys have the imagination of a breezeblock. Right, starting to really, really hate the music as well. I know it's IMPOSSIBLY NOW, and yet this knotty paradox compels me to rid myself of it before it might perplex me entirely! I shall listen until 'Sex' just to see if I really can rile myself up into some sort of homicidal rage. Oh Christ, dear God. I shouldn't be listening any more. This is utterly loathsome, the textures of 'The City' long forgotten amidst shambling priapic aural vomit. FUCK OFF. Jesus, this is the worst album in the entire list so far, just hideous. AND YET I still have to listen to 'Sex'. I will refrain from typing until it's done. *3 agonising minutes pass* This isn't about Poptimism. These cunts are Glasvegas remanifest. GLASVEGAS.

it's cute looking back on those days when imago was young and naive and thought that song titles only functioned as representation oh wait

hehehehe!
regards,

the photo accompanying the a la carte menu caption near made me throw my phone out of the train window

salmon is some glorious zenith of cordon bleu banality, and that photo could not have been improved upon in this regard

srsly tho ive been waiting for a chance to introduce the sloaney to ilx
give it a an explore its a pretty epic website

idk salmon qua salmon is not really 'exclusive'

btw I have been on great cumberland place and sloane square within the last 3 hrs, the stink shant leave

that salmon has a smattering of dill and is being presented as a luxury

would imagine the sloaney is heroically mundane with instances of obtuse idiocy that almost escape notice

the keyphrase in that article is prob 'taittinger is available by the glass', as cackhanded an appeal to either end of the finedining spectrum as I can imagine

missed u

taittinger nv is probably available by the glass in 100 london restaurants

youre not engaging here with all of the multitudes that the sloaney has to offer

Celebrate the start of the shooting season with some luxurious updates to your shooting attire. Look for the highest quality fabrics in warm shades of mink, chocolate and ochre.

Holland Cooper’s shooting coat is fully functional with an action back and sleeve to allow maximum movement and finished with wax details. A shooting waistcoat is a good piece to invest in. Perfect on warmer autumnal days or layered under a thick coat, this one by Really Wild is made from soft nubuck with deep pockets.

The treatment menu is focused on the Rose Infinity Collection. This uses Nobel Prize winning research that works at a cellular level to repair ageing DNA. It targets the anti-aging process, helps with hydration and is incredibly good for countering emerging fine lines. I couldn’t wait to walk into a treatment room for an hour of TLC.

i know those clothes only too well. clients' families, mostly, but a slightly less bloodthirsty selection adorns the dorset country home of my bff's mother, from whose hautebourgie trappings he is partially but never totally freed. by extension, the times i've spent there paint me guilty by association, although the wellies are only borrowed for expedience

i must add that the wellies are plain rubber affairs & not leatherbuckled; there's far more tweed on display in the photos above

is that where u killed the pigeon that was athwart something

that was a separate affair, staying at a university bandmate's house in cambridgeshire for a week in 2008. they were possibly more genuinely outdoorsmanly than the sloaney standard; village-dwelling writer/publisher types with a fairly impressive array of arthouse cinema and literature. shooting coats were old, ragged and made of dark green vinyl - less glamour, more efficiency
