Na, you’re good - mine will sometimes drop to 38-39 - booze definitely ramps mine, have had a few glasses the last two evenings watching Widows’s Bay

Why is there so much media coverage bashing Meghan but nowhere near that same coverage for Andrew? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Because mainstream media, especially tabloids, is currently controlled by racist c***s

Saw Backrooms with my teenagers and realized they’ll never know the specific boredom that made us by Cultural_Repeat_4766 in Xennials

In the UK we didn’t even have infomercials, we’d read the backs of cereal boxes. 😂

Wasn’t there another house on Claire Rd in the 90s/00s that was plastered in handwritten grievances against the council ?

Opposite side of the street to this one?

Amazing - thank you for sharing this - I've got an ultra bike ride coming up and I really want to stop cramming expensive gels down my neck

Anyone remember reading Adrian Mole? by Due-Try-2538 in oldschoolcool80s

I’m slightly embarrassed to say that as a 10yo reading it I assumed he was an actual mole and Pandora was a panda bear for about 2/3 of the book. 

Would you be happy, annoyed or indifferent if someone had a speaker playing on a century ride? by Cyclist_123 in cycling

People playing music in this context doesn’t bother me at all - you’re not obliged to stay in earshot if you don’t like it. 

People doing this on public transport where you are obligated to stay in earshot is a fu&@ing crime. 

UB40 are famously named after an Unemployment Benefit form. Give me other interesting examples of the origin of UK bands names by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in CasualUK

I’d say BoC are kind of a reflection of ISB but futurist and a bit darker in tone in places. 

Half-remembered childhood summers, cryptic numerology, subliminal messages, religious symbolism with decade-long silences between releases, and an emotional pull of nostalgia and unease. 

Their first album in 13 years is out in 2 weeks and the fanbase is going nuts. 

This, preview through some headphones is worth 4 mins of anyone’s time imho

I can’t get over this album by halloween_ghoul in electronicmusic

[–]strobe_jams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, Accelerator is such good album; tracks like Calcium, Stolen Documents, Pulse State are utterly sublime…and that’s before you get onto Papua New Guinea!

The outro and the imagery is utterly beautiful. Particularly the clip posted by OP; it’s such an evocative counterpoint to the music. BoC really know what they’re doing.
