Since the hard drive in my laptop died I've been curiously not upset by the whole thing. I can still get the internet at home via the PS4's dogshit browser or on my phone but generally I've been getting along by doing things like watching programmes on iPlayer (I don't have a TV, there is no communal space with a TV). So i've been watching things I haven't seen in a while like Pointless which I really enjoy, Richard Osman ftw.

I've been getting to bed at better times and I've actually been reading for the first time in months since my evenings are usually split between PS4, general browsing and eating.

The only thing I miss is being able to watch GoT as it comes out (after getting around Virgin's blocking). As of now I have no way to watch the new episodes so I'm stuck at three episodes in.

Another prime concern is me time. Nuff said.

.

Sounds like a recipe for good living.

Hi sploat! Sounds like you had some nice time off, it's always sucky going back to work after.

I'm off to a script meeting with my comic book guys later, should be a blast!

Yeah. Especially as it looks to be an aft of data entry. Still, we're going to see Sarah Millican tonight. Ooo script meeting, get you! Sounds like great fun, tbh.

CHEEZMO is actually a satire on the left run and maintained by the BNP as part of their viral marketing campaign. I'm onto you.

We got one too. Glad to see it. Definitely voting for UKIP. Had it up to here with Lenny Henry.

I've investigated the laptop and removing the hard drive won't be complicated. I plan to just replace the hard drive but I'm wondering if I need to look beyond size (2.5 inch) and size (500GB) for compatability.

You can put pretty much any 2.5" in. I've got a spare 320gb if you want one free?

I don't suppose it matters if the original was 500GB does it?

Is yours used/second hand?

By the way I don't know if anyone posted this but apparently if you buy The Guardian newspaper at Sainsburys this Saturday you can get a free Neil Gaiman book (Stardust).

Doesn't matter, but it is second hand. Barely used though

I'm in a penny saving mood since my rent just came out.

I'll PM you

Tech Lords: So I'm on my phone, right? Do I have to listen to each mix one track at a time via Dropbox or is there a way to properly download a whole mix?

EDIT: apologies for being such a needy digitard.

I have no idea I'm afraid, I always download stuff to a computer and add it to my library before it goes on the phone/pod. How do you usually manage your digital music collection?

 

[AcridMeat]

Maaaan, should've snuck into your luggage and stayed in San Fran Dat sunshine/beach combo yo!

Of course it's only crazy nice like this during the week. Saw the forecast for this weekend and it's supposed to be much cooler and wet.

Papa BBW's.

I think I've successfully managed to convey that I do actually listen to stuff outside of Mario theme tunes.

Well done you!

Just woke up. Had that moment where the alarm is going off on my phone on my desk, and I tried to get out of bed then faceplanted back into my covers for a few more minutes.

Putting on "Can I Borrow A Feeling" (awesome reference). And starting with Com Truise he's in my mix too.

edit: Yep loving this mix as well, has a lot of stuff similar to mine. Well done everyone, every playlist I've put on so far has been awesome.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I did use the wife's laptop before the IT department at her school slapped admin locks all over it earlier this year. I haven't had any new music on my iphone since then.

No problem, I'll listen to a track at a time. Just wanted to know if there was an easier way. If I managed to play and enjoy Monkey Island 2 and Beneath A Steel Sky on the Amiga using only one disc drive, I can do this

 

[AcridMeat]

Unless you're talking about my playlist, there's no enjoyment in that. Pick one of the others.

Bullshit. Imma do yours first now.

Fuuuck, you need the set list document then because the names of the tracks don't have the correct listing. They only have it correct in the hidden tag. I should have changed the names to reflect it but didn't because I assumed everyone would use computers damn it.

Or just look here:

Spoiler

1. Tighten Up (Part 1)
2. Space Wax America
3. Jam The Network
4. Einmal In Der Woche Schreien
5. Breakbot - Shades Of Black
6. M.E.
7. Glawio
8. Mindscape
9. Heartbeats (Live)
10. Dayvan Cowboy
11. The Big Ship
12. Clouds
13. Tighten Up (Part 2)
14. Trenchtown Rock
15. Roam
16. Constants Are Changing

This Doing It Wrong track by Moustache Machine is great.

edit: Have been enjoying this entire mix, but that intro to A Million Miles Away kills.

aw shi

Are you going to shovel sunchips into your gullet as well?

 

[jimbor]

Hystzen has the worst playlist ever. Fact.

Are you joining my BritGAF UKIP club? There are too many lefties here and people concerned with 'rights'.

 

[AcridMeat]

Right, deleted the single tracks and reuploading with the number in the title reflecting where it should be.

Almost done with this mix, onto the last Com Truise (which is boss, love that man). Well done!

 

[jimbor]

Definitely, especially now they've come out against the filthy gayers too. Makes me proud to be British.

[NinjaBoiX]

Just listened to Acrid's mix, really upbeat and diverse, I liked it a lot. Plenty of new stuff too, yay! I did listen to it in the wrong order due to your lackadaisical ID tagging (I reordered the second half after reading your post but it was a bit too late!) anyway, favourites:

Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up (both parts!)
Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy
Breakbot - Shades of Black
Com Truise - Glawio
Hyetal - Jam The Network
Anamanaguchi - Space Wax America
Gigi Masin - Clouds
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Trenchtown Rock
Boards of Canada - Constants Are Changing

Mixtape rules dictate that 1 point be docked for two BoC tracks. I mean, I love BoC but:

The Campfire Headphase though...go-to chill out album. I'll give you a pass on Tighten Up as a two parter. Good tape mang!

 

[AcridMeat]

Haha yeah...this next one I promise will be properly done from the get go.

The Campfire Headphase though...go-to chill out album. I'll give you a pass on Tighten Up as a two parter. Good tape mang!

Almost bought it at a record shop in NY, but was something like $25-30, definitely the one to have on vinyl imo.

Tighten Up has some of the best riffs and fills, so fun. Glad you liked it anyhow.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I forgot, who's in charge of the drop box?

By the way I don't know if anyone posted this but apparently if you buy The Guardian newspaper at Sainsburys this Saturday you can get a free Neil Gaiman book (Stardust).

Sweeeeeet, thanks for the heads up dude!


Script meeting was interesting, they want me along to the next one, and the head honcho wants me to write a story for one of their titles. I'm awesome.

 

[Rubbish King]

Seeing as Farage is a pompeyish man I might go and suck him off out of spite

Pretty much anyone that's in the group and has some nous. You want in, lady? PM me your email addy and I'll add you.

[Jedeye Sniv]

I'm looking forward to hearing HIM and an assortment of singers who sound a little bit like Eddie Vedder if he had a bigger beard on Musha's mix.

Speaking of, I gave Hystzen's mix a listen last night. I get what you're going for chap, and maybe you succeeded to well because >50% gave me the full body cringe of remembering myself as a lad. On the plus side, I've nto head that Chemicals' song in an age so that was nice

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Happy birthday CHEEZMO!

I'm looking forward to hearing HIM and an assortment of singers who sound a little bit like Eddie Vedder if he had a bigger beard on Candice's mix.

You may well be surprised....

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Happy Friday Slimesurfers!

Haha Jed. I think Musha will actually dig some of Hystzen's mix. I'm not taking the piss, there were just a fair few bands on there that I know she's into. I think you may be pleasantly surprised though Jed, I reckon Musha will subvert expectations and put something a little different on. Maybe...

I definitely tried to steer clear of the obvious bands for mine: Massive Attack, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Roots, Peej, Radiohead, etc. You gotta keep peeps on their toes innit!

Also:

Edit:

You may well be surprised....

Haha, called it!

Happy Birthday Cheez!

I look forward to it! If nothing else it's fun for me an Ellie to sit and listen to these, good conversations come out of them. btw I only just realised I used your real name in my post, edited that out for ya just in case.

Also:

I dunno man, we did 12 hours worth of choosing tunes last month, I think I have a good read on our tastes now

btw that car journey was well fun, we should all hang out in cars more often. It's intimate.

Anyone familiar with this song? LCD Soundsystem - Yeah (Crass) I kinda want to make a whole new mix with this as the first tune. Made me wanna dance on the bus yesterday.

ps Ninj the lil lady in your avy looks well like Lena Dunham there

 

[NinjaBoiX]

LCD Soundsystem are the nuts Jed, fuck anyone who says James Murphy is a cunt.

LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is playing at My House

Also, "lil lady", yiss! She looks so serious in that pic, moody twat. Chick needs to learn to lighten up innit.

Right that it is. I've got to 180 percent on fez with only one clue from the Internet but now I need help. I actually dreamt about cubes last night.
