Originally posted by Mike Bullocks View PostI'm with Ole on this. Nobody can tell you your own opinion on music is silly. A remix might be easy on the ear but I'm sure most people with an ear and the technology can do a descent job. I remember in the 80s some classical songs were remixed for dance. Pukey stuff. Each to their own HJ.
Also, as another point pop music is generally such a simplistic format that most pop tunes are just a slightly updated version of what went before; ie Chuck Berry and Elvis becomes the Beatles. The advent of samplers just formalized it.
That's not to say that all remixes are good, its pretty easy to subtly change a tune by changing the beat or what have you, but most music is trash so that's not really a point.

Its not a question of taste, the art of remixing or sampling is now such an integral part of so much of music that saying you don't like remixes makes as much sense as saying you don't music with stringed instruments in it. You are excluding such a wide variety of styles and genres its nonsensical.

Sure Google photos can do your remixes now.

The Brits are rehearsing a No Deal Brexit by driving 80 lorries up and down the road from Dover. 80 fucking lorries isn't a fucking deckfull FFS
Meanwhile Boris is claiming that No Deal is what people actually voted for.
You'd have thought watching a country having a complete mental breakdown would be a bit more fun than this, its all just so pathetic and sad really.
And we are going to be so fucked over by their idiocy.Turning millions into thousands

Found Belfast bizarre tbh. It's like the place just shuts down at 6pm. We were up for a gig and struggled to find any nightlight beforehand. We ended up in the green room after the gig, I ventured out to get a round at 1:30 and realised that the venue had been closed for ages by that point. We did a lap of the city we were in but were told by very apologetic bouncers that here was no chance of us getting into anywhere at that time, even trying to find a party would be a waste of time. "it's all the DUP's fault".
The streets were empty other than a handful of paraplegic drunks (passed some lads punching walls singing "ooh ah up the ra".). We couldn't even get a hotel for the night at that point. Ended up in a hotel bar, which was like watching a decade of Eastenders specials in one sitting. Got a taxi at 5:30 at the guy was positively amazed at the idea of still being out at that time. Imagine getting that in Dublin?

Our supply lines will be under a lot of pressure transiting through the UK, we're planning for it but you can only plan so much.

There are places could have went to handy enough for a late one, normally we would go get a carryout when we finish and head for a party. I found it a shift to go from Belfast to partying in Dublin tbh, after 3am my race is run usually.

I'd suspect significantly more accounts are changed in that direction but the % is still relatively small, maybe 5%?

Not sure I agree with his general advice to people to bet a lot less as theres more than one way to skin a cat in this regard and those who are killing it more than anyone in horse racing these days would actually be involved in nearly every race.Profit before people.

I'll never go to a one man play after Krapp’s Last Tape in the Gate. Always sounds too rehearsed. Went to see John Hurt more than anything. Found myself dozing off but did have a couple drinks before I went in which is always a mistake before a non comedy play. Samuel Beckett way overrated imo. He's got a good name, is dead and lauded by the Trinity elite which is the main draw.

Conor Skehan is on Claire Byrne Live making a lot of sense. Had to smile when he said we have way too many charities all doing the same thing. Pretty sure I said that a few years ago in a well over in the other place.
It’s a scourge in this country. WAY too much duplication and no focused policy at all.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct
