whilst clearing out my room yesterday (meaning spending a whole day trying to get my room into some assemblance of order) i found a carrier bag full of cassettes. but the one that caught my eye was the Boss Drum album by The Shamen. i’d totally forgot that it had ever existed.

and it is ace. anyone else remember it?

another one was Adamski’s Doctor Adamski’s Musical Pharmacy. I was quite cool as a kid.

probably, but i was 11 at the time and thought it was a top tune. but the rest of the album is ace too. “space time” is great, and the “fat man” is a corker.

but i still have never touched the drugs. the booze and cigarettes have always sufficed for me.

@mr self destruct: you just want to admit you did that.

I suppose in retrospect some of that stuff is alright. I was listening to The Prodigy Experience yesterday as it happens…made me want to don a pair of white gloves and start blowing a whistle.

i loathe the prodigy with a passion. it’s odd though, the boss drum album by the shamen was released 3 years after pretty hate machine. and i had no idea about nin until the fragile. i think a lot of people pretend about bands and when they got into them. my first T? album proper was semi detached, my first proper manics was everything must go. most people are liars.

The Prodigy were fucking ace! Especially Jilted Generation, it’s a classic album.

I have Boss Drum. Love it.

Also have ” Axis Mutatis ” like Boss Drum but more complicated and less commercial.

Also ” Hempton manor ” basically a 10 track instrumental album, and a big Fuck You to their label for not promoting their album.

The first letter of each track spells out ” Fuck Birket ”
Their manager.

:D

What’s the point in not doing drugs if you insist on poisoning your body with alcohol and cigarettes? You’ll die of lung cancer or liver failure before any recreational drug use causes you any harm, so you may as well have some fun with drugs before your painful death.
