[WhosZena]

Walking down one of the streets and some guy came up and whispered to me "we have chicken, CDs, and marijuana"

[tr0tsky]

I did both Sunday and Monday, felt fucking grim at work on the Tuesday doe.



Who knows about Aba Shanti-i?

Go every year, my gf had never been so I took her this year, was great, didn't see any trouble really other than a few drunken arguments and some drunk guy constantly trying it on with my girl, I just told him to fuck off though and that was that.

Going looking for dubstep at carnival is like looking for folk-rock at DMZ imo... I mean it's nice if you found it but it's not really the point...

[slothrop]

We went on sunday and it was about the best carnival I've had largely because we didn't spend the whole time worrying about what sort of music we were listening to or whether it was the best possible sound system to be at at that moment in time and just went with the vibe. We danced to some deep dub and some 'classic' (ie more than one year old) bashment and some totally mersh rnb and it was all good.

Finished at Gladdy Wax which was quite funny when Gappy Ranks showed up with an excloose CDR which Gladdy couldn't play because he doesn't have a cd player in the system.

i found some fuckin wicked rnb this year, mc was like we gonna switch up the vibe to rnb and i didnt know what to think and the weight on this stuff shook me to the core, it was too good
also 5 quid for 2 red stripe? someone must have been shopping at the wrong place (not at you slothrop, i cant remember who said it though)

TBH I think it's mostly about it being played on massive fucking speakers (so you realize it actually has bass even if you don't normally hear it over TV speakers or from a crappy radio or whatever) while you dance in the sun with a red stripe in your hand and people blowing horns left right and centre, the stuff we were listening to was probably as mersh and poppy as you like... Val Doonican would probably sound badman under those circumstances.

yeah this is true, i think it was mostly down to not recognising the stuff, and there was this one song with quite a warpy bassline that suprised me considering it was being described as rnb. still, its all that music that sits somewhere between dancehall, garage and pop that gets people going and as you say, most things sound wicked if they are loud enough to physically shake you
