You are not a f*cking DJ. You’re an overpaid, untalented, cake-throwing c*nt.

Yep, nothing really knew - have a few I think that have some kind of lyric / spoken word that repeats in the run-out groove.

I always liked when there was something a little different about a record.

A few months ago - I got a record that really confused me. After nearly 20 years buying records, I'd never come across one that plays from the centre outwards - it took me a while to figure out what was going on, and it was lucky I was stone cold sober because I was questioning my sanity at one point... If I had've been in an altered consciousness state, it could have pushed me over the edge!

Surely you'd want to be fairly gentle with that, given that your anti-skate would be working against you?

I'm not mad about it either but I haven't heard it played out yet so it's hard to say how good it is.

Is a shít song not shít no matter where it's played?

Don't know the track personally. What's it called?

No, definitely not. Some music is designed solely for clubs.

I'm not feeling the love for it either. Probably sounds great in a club but it's leaving me a bit meh at the moment.

Only if you had the anti-skate set at zero. The anti-skate dial is only there to counter balance the natural pull of the needle towards the centre. I think it's something like 1 gram of force towards the centre. So most Technics should be set up for +1 or thereabouts.

Ya, it's designed for a club, no doubt. But I've gone from 'meh' to straight out dislike of it. I find the vocal sample annoying. Some of this 'track of the year' talk is baffling to me.

I'm actually trying to get my head around how you'd try and cue the track, especially in a dark club. It has train wreck written all over it.

Fairly trippy is right. I kept cueing it up - thought there was a problem with the initial groove so I then dropped the needle a few bars in. As I say - thought I was going mad. This is the record in question

The track I bought it for is Stress Free, I was anything but after a few minutes.

I have never bothered throwing it in the record box for parties. I wouldn't fancy my chances queing it up at 4am...

I'd the same feeling with 'track of the year' Swims - didn't get it and very quickly went to dislike. Don't dislike the Blawan one though - but can see how you would.

The hype is inevitable - there is no doubt this track will destroy dancefloors.

Yeah, I am finding that a bit weird as well. Beyond the vocal sample there's not a lot to it. It strikes me as more of a DJ tool than a track. Great as a bridge between tracks and really distinctive but not a lot behind it as a track itself.

People like catchy vocal hooks. It's quite simple.

Even the most discerning of club crowds, lash an auld catchy vocal hook into a track, as long as there's a fairly banging track behind it, they'll lap it up.

Aye, I understand that but beyond the vocal hook there really isn't anything there. Mind you, if this came on in the basement of TP while I was suitably enhanced, I'm sure I'd be lapping it up too.

I think the fact that I've heard the original line in The Fugees - How Many Mics about 100 times before hearing the Blawan sample isn't helping.

It doesn't half get stuck in your head for the day though.

Yore ma needs a kick in the face and a blast of piss from an Atari Jaguar.

Judging on what I've read on After Hours this should be the funniest sentence in the universe. I had reservations about posting it up because it's funniness could melt your face off with its awesomeness but I reckon if I didn't the liberal media would have won and it would have been political correctness gone mad!

I don't care either way tbh. It's his life. And even if he won a medal, what difference does it make to anyone in Ireland - he's the one with the medal, not them. I like him because he's great to watch, not because he's Irish.

And he has a British passport so it can't have been a surprise to anyone either.

Also, I don't think he's decided yet, has he?

Not as far as I know, no. Although the way people are reacting you'd swear he's bought a sash and a bowler hat and started burning tricolours to heat his house.

Has it been finalised what format the olympic golf will take? Like, will it be team events like the Ryder cup, or singles? If it's to be team games I can fully see why he'd go GB. He'd have a much bigger pool of players to help boost his medal chances, rather than hoping a few Irish players are on form.

I think the last time it was in the Olympics it was singles and team events. Even if McIlroy played with GB we'd still have a decent group to pick from. GMAC, Porridge, Clarke, Lowry, McGrane and I'm hoping to be single figures by 2016 so the future's bright. 3 Major winners there, and a few other players who could beat anyone on their day.

He is British he should represent GB, same as McDowell and yes I understand the GUI is an all Ireland association.

ianuss

I think Gramme said he'd represent Ireland if he could. But if he wanted to play for GB I couldn't be bothered either. I don't quite get the furore.

The people making the biggest noise are the same people that claim the English claim everybody as their own.

He's from Norn Iron so he is British. Who cares.
