hello children
My taxi just went past westminster abbey and there are already lots of sadsacks camping out to get a good spot. Is this going too far? Will you be watching the Wedding and where/with whom?
Second alt: seeing apeloverage's next short story link below. How are you at selling yourself? Are you good at a bit of shameless self-promotion or are you more modest? Sell yourself to us... What would you say?

Yes that's going too far
but people camp outside Wimbledon for tickets, and that happens every year instead of once every thirty so I can't say I'm surprised.
I'm as ambivalent towards the wedding as I am towards the monarchy, I do feel a strange obligation to watch the ceremony just because they've given us a day off though. We'll be on a train to Nottingham but Ms Foxtrot has asked that my parents Sky+ it so we can watch when we get there. She wasn't born when Charles & Di married so is more excited about it than me (obviously I remember it very clearly, having been about 2-and-a-half)

Alt alt: Terrible.
When I ran club nights and DJed, my pal Yeti managed me and the promotional stuff, seeing as he is a self-aggrandising nightmare. I have huge problems with immodesty and braggadocio - this is a major problem with job interviews but it's how I was raised.
I am not embarrassed by doing things well and SLAYING THE COMPETITION, I've done plenty of music/art/dance things which are in a sense 'look at me' without cringing, but the whole 'selling yourself' thing I find pretty much impossible.
It's odd how much I love old-skool hip-hop, when you consider that it is in essence just people going on about how great they are.

I've just remembered that Dr Dre's new track is a massive disappointment
But The Chronic and 2001 are awesome records, so my statement stands. And eys, modern ones are wankers. Take one muscular black man, sit him on the hood of a flash car with a woman in a bikini, make him talk quickly about how much money he has, presto. The video for Flo Rida's "Low" is a horrifically stereotypical case in point.

He was OK in the World Class Wreckin Crew
but I think NWA are overrated and his solo stuff does nothing for me. Premier is a 50 x better producer AND he didn't used to wear makeup OR do a MASSIVE u-turn over his stance on weed to be 'down with da kidz' like Dre.

But oh lordy I can't stand Flo Rider or Sean Paul or Pitbull.

Not all of them by a long chalk.
The problem is that now folk are either 'underground' which means more earnest, thoughtful and intelligent lyrics but not terribly catchy and rubbish to dance to, OR a dancey beat and monosyllabic gibberish over the top.
The last 'big' record that was a combination of the two that I know of, was 'Oo-wee' by Mark Ronson, bizarrely.

Yes and no.
Yes the music is frequently hideous now, but I also believe the fact that in the 70s/early 80s, the bragging was essentially just bullshitting (no-one had anything at all and the South Bronx looked like Hiroshima) means there's an innocence to it all that I love (I am aware how fucking patronising this sounds). Hearing some helmet crap on about having a dozen cars when it's a reality is just plain vulgar.

arguments were like

"we've got two cds out" - they're not 'out', and they are frankly a bit shit
still didn't work. The trouble is, most of the band aren't horrible music snobs like you and I
