lol britpop crew's zing culture, Classic or Dud?

It's the thread that had to be made.

eliah-lay-lyaah, lay-a-lay-li-liaah, lay-lay-yaaah-yaaah-yalaaay

why has he capitalised NED, the raggett is surely above our petty scrabbling

Louis, save the thread 500 posts. Hold your hands up and go "Shit, yeah, that was unforgivably crass of me", then step away.

Didn't he call for your death?

ned does not call, he decrees

Hey Louis, I was going to post this zing image to your female world cup thread yesterday, but I forget. Have it now:

Thread needs bitter snarky contributions from Matt DC

You are destined to be disappointed. Go Balkanisation.

Shit, Tom McRae's dead in a helicopter crash. RIP big man, up there in the big gig in the sky with Elliot Smith and the dude from Mud now.

Strange thread

is it even....about anything?

really?

Oh, wait..

heaven needed a, um..

I am completely out of my depth here

After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end
I wanna thank you 'cause you made that much stronger

Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mhm

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that
I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Chorus:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're goin' round playin', the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more, no no
It's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Chorus:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended to not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

Chorus:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget, thought I
I remember
Cause I remember
I remember
......x2

Chorus....

Song: Life's on the Line
Typed by: Seacoas✧✧✧@a✧✧.c✧✧

* unlisted bonus track on the third album

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me, but that's okay
Cause I don't like y'all anyway
... And I don't like y'all anyway
Fuck all y'all!!
My watch talk for me, my whip talk for me
My gat talk for me
BLAT! Whattup homie
For bitches who don't know me
... They wanna blow me
Cause the shit I floss wit sayin a lot for me

I came into rap humble, I don't give a fuck now
Serve anybody like niggaz who hustle uptown
Coke price go up, cats is come down
The D's run in my crib, I'm nowhere to be found
The bitch who hustle for me, they dont even stash tracks
They keep it on 'em, right there in they ass crack
When I don't like a nigga, I don't pretend to
I'll have the paramedics wrap your fuckin head like a Hindu
Look, I ain't goin nowhere, so get used to me
OG's look at me and see what they used to be
I'm that nigga that sold coke, the nigga that sold dope
The nigga that shot Dice when he broke to So So
The thug, they pop shit, the thug that pop clips
The thug that went from three and a half to whole bricks
Nigga ain't in his right mind, goin against me
My picture's painted through words that make a blind man see

Scream murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder! (Fuck around and leave you!)
Murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder, murder! (Your life's on the line!)

Y'all niggaz don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how y'all started me
Make me catch her on the late night
Pop shots wit the fifth and slide off wit the six
I'm not a marksmen while spark issue, I spray random
Not a pretty nigga but my moms think I'm handsome
I hate to hear "He say, She say" shit
Unless he say she say she on my dick
It's no coincidence, niggaz who fuck wit me get shot up
I do a Cali style drive by and tear ya block up
You soft through, be puttin up a crazy front
I stay wit the Mac, cause niggaz tried to blaze me once
In the hood they be like, "Damn, 50 really spitted on 'em"
"You heard that shit?" "Yeah, 50 really shitted on 'em"
Beef, you don't want none, so don't start none
You just a small player in this game, play a part son

Scream murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder! (Fuck around and leave you!)
Murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder, murder! (Your life's on the line!)

These cats always escape reality when they rhyme
That's why they write about bricks and only dealt wit dimes
Leave it to them, and they say they got a fast car
Nascar, truck wit a crash bar, and TV's in the dash, pa
See 'em in the five wit stock rims, I just laugh, pa
I catch stunts when I ain't tryin
I ain't lyin, I sit Dom P til I split up
Keep my rent split up
Get outta line, I get you hit up [Wooo!]
Now if you say my name in your rhyme, watch what you say
You get carried away, you can get shot and carried away
Now here's a list of MC's that can kill you in eight bars:
50, umm Jay-Z and Nas
I'ma say this shit now and never again
We ain't buddies, we ain't partners and we damn sure ain't friends
The games you playin, you get killed like that
Actin like you all hard, you ain't built like that
See me when you see me nigga, one (one)

Scream murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder! (Fuck around and leave you!)
Murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder, murder! (Your life's on the line!)

Y'all niggaz don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how y'all started me
You gon make me catch her on the late night

honorary member grimey simey weighs in.

still a lingering sense there that rave culcha was an actual, not just a musical 'revolution' (his word). which i think kind of destabilizes things. and also: how is shoegazey retreat from thatcherite/majorite reality any worse/more apolitical than people necking ecstasy in volume?

Well ravers were getting into some serious rucks with the rozzers, and there was no legislation passed specifically to outlaw shoegazing, but I take yr point.

Anglophiles would probably argue that British indie rock of the '80s and '90s failed to find success here because of the conservatism of American radio. But maybe the failure of U.K. indie, shoegaze and Britpop comes down to these genres' gradual divorce from black music. Fetishizing the guitar sounds of the '60s, they forgot about its rhythmic base and impulse toward sonic hybridity.

While I agree with most of what Reynolds says about the records themselves, I think he's building a foundation for the rest of his argument out a convenient coincidence more than anything else. Post-91 or 92, how much black British music actually translated into US success? Surely it was the US rock hangover from grunge that preventing most Brit bands from becoming a success in the States (that and most of them being rubbish).

Meanwhile, I suppose, the US had its own black music that was sweeping away all its path, so it's hardly surprising there wasn't much room for jungle or garage, whatever Reynolds claims.

Yeah, it's not like Pavement et al weren't "divorced from black music" too.

The letters in response to the article are painful, and particularly the "Editor's Choice" ones. Get one spellcheck...and, yeah, I know it's "just the internet" or whatever, but, show some simple consideration for the people who will end up reading your letter, and at least make an effort to write in complete sentences.

i admire SR's cojones in a way, zinging the anglophiles... trying to think of an equivalent, like a detroit-born music critic resident in london writing about how shitty techno is and how lame british dance music fans are for falling for it.

Everett True: Triumphant. Epic. Grandiose. Fantastic. Soaring violins which sound like they'd die for one taste of your love. A voice that sounds like it was forged in the depths of orgasm. Drums that rattle at the very foundations of lust itself. Lyrics that dissect love with such gentle brutality that they nearly start me yearning for female company again. A tune that bears an uncanny resemblance to The Fun Boy Three's lachrymose "Tunnel of Love" - but, what the hell, if you're gonna steal, do it blatantly. "12 Reasons..." has been My Life Story's show-stopping final number for close on two years, and in no way does this dissapoint. Single of the summer.

God rest his tortured soul.

I loved this song at the time as well :/

Not as funny as Steven Wells going "HEY BORING INDIE KIDS THERE'S THIS REAL ROCK N ROLL BAND CALLED THE DANDY WARHOLS WHO ARE GONNA ROCK YR ASSES" in late 90s NMEs, but still.

Seriously, Swells taste redefines "lol 90s". Rage Against the Machine, Daphne and Celeste, Dandy Warhols, Asian Dub Foundation... I can only assume he also wrote articles praising Zubaz and Ethan Hawke's performance in "Reality Bites".

Still, he had the courage of his comicly misguided convictions, at least. You couldn't exactly say that about Mark Beaumont.

Mark Beaumont has the least convincing "rage" setting of any music journalist ever. "OH MY GOD I AM SO INFURIATED BY THE MOLDY PEACHES GRRR I HOPE THEY DIE will that do?"

His whole schtick was "yeah, this is pretty good BUT IT'S NOT THE PIXIES!!!"

I met Beaumont at a party Embrace threw in a mansion once. He seemed... dull. Years later I stood next to him at a Regina Spektor gig in Bristol. I think he was wearing the same clothes.

I met Beaumont at a party Embrace threw in a mansion once.

there is surely zing mileage here

I'm surprised I had to read as far down as I did for the 'Adele is fat' zing

Comedy's about timing, son.

that's the spirit. the zings (inc. Heysel ref) are really the weakest aspect of the otherwise OK article tho.

one interesting thing about the #1 Sound Of XX winner is that they never improve on their debut single sales wise. OK i'm just basing this on Mika right now but will Adele even have a #1 single? at least Lily Allen didn't release 'Smile' until later Summer so people weren't able to include her in the New Year predictathon. and Kate Nash's and Scouting For Girls success, tho freakishly rapid, feels relatively organic still (or at least just comes from traditional airplay route more than anything else).

Good article! Apart from the "always burning since the world's been turning" bit, which is a bit clunky, like.

"why not pretend to be a pirate" more like "why not get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane"

Nice article, Dom! I'd go so far as to say that it constitutes a stunning return to form.

L-R: NO WAIT

KELLY BROOK SHOWS US HER FRUITY SIDE

AND REVEALS HOW SHE STAYS COOL IN BED – DESPITE LOOKING SO HOT!

Curvy Kelly Brook bares her true colours in bed and uncovers how she stays looking so fresh and full of zing.

Looking fun, fruity and full of vitality, Kelly reveals her biggest bedroom secret - the latest range of high-tech beds from Silentnight called PocketZing™.

The new mattresses filled with pro-biotic microcapsules called Purotex®, work on the same principle as the pro-biotic yoghurt drinks, by putting friendly bacteria into the fabric of the mattress - helping you feel full of zing in the mornings!

Created by a team of sleep experts at Silentnight, its pocket spring system guarantees to support your body no matter what your shape or size and its unique Breathable Airflow Border allows air to pass through the mattress, to ensure you keep cool - no matter how hot you look in bed.

Kelly Brook comments: “Having such a busy schedule means I’m constantly on the go and don’t always have the time to look after my body in the way I’d like. Having a bed with pro-biotic qualities means it’s doing my body good while I sleep – you can’t ask for more than that from a bed!”

“I’m not known for being a morning person, but I’m hoping that will change with my new bed! Let’s face it, everyone could do with a bit of zing in the mornings… couldn’t they?”

PocketZing™ is currently available nationally via Dreams or at www.silentnight.co.uk Prices start from £949.

zing 'culture' doyousee

Wait - a yoghurt-filled mattress?

If I woke up next to Kelly Brook I wouldn't have any trouble getting it up.

And yoghurt wouldn't be the only pro-biotic fluid on the mattress if you catch my drift fnarr fnarr etc..

TMI.
