    I’m going to report every person who replies to this thread to the law.
    Just sayin’.

      Yeah love it, also reminds me of O Superman, Laurie Anderson and also Dark and Long, Underworld.

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Daft Punk – Rollin’ & Scratchin’.
    At one point during a live performance a jack disconnected from the tables. They sampled & looped this specific sound to create the head nodding, ear wagging, cross eyed rasherness I miss so much these days.

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem. 9 minutes of bliss! Apparently the band purposely recorded the beginning of the track with very low volume, so that the listener would turn it up. Then when the heavy drum and synth part comes in somewhere in the middle, they will be blown away by the loudness.

    I was also told this by some fella at a gaf party in the wee hours, so it could be a load of pony. Either way, great tune!

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Girl Band’s “Paul” if I’m in a particularly upbeat excitable mood, or Mr Scruff’s Kalimba if head appreciates something lighter.

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself with BBE – 7 Days and 1 Week. There are a couple of choons that take me back 20 odd years to various gigs in various places. 1 might take me back to the Ormond Hotel, another might be Creamfields and so on.This track leads me back to a night in the UFO, Sir John Rogersons Quay Dublin, the place was raided and we were all lined up and searched. When they searched me they missed my hidden stash and after we reassembled in Temple Bar I was able to divvy out a half each and enough for a couple of doobs to the crew and still make a night of it. In your face narcs! How times have changed since then, how Dublin has changed since then. Wyrd bið ful āræd!

    Yé ké yé ké – Mory Kanté. A quality choon from happier, simpler times.

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in The Cat Empire – Miserere

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in “Pacific State” by 808 State, that saxophone is a rush of blood while the birdsong gently heralds the inevitable coming of the morning. Now where did I park my Mitsubishi..?

  10. Frilly Keane

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Dub be good to me

    Old School; but Beats International still survives after, wha’ 30 years.

    I’ll have to dig out Let them eat Bingo’n but it into the car for Sunday

    By the way, any London Punk fans spot the baseline?

    if you were in Brixton Academy Christmas’ish ’84 you will

    although I’ve been known to make an’nawful show of meself to Tony Christie too

          1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            Listened to the Buckles podcast this morning, Bertie.
            Awwwww! Great anecdotes, as ever.

          2. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            I can just imagine him working himself into a huge fug of righteous indignation. Of course he ended up nearly being best mates with the guy afterwards. Everyone loves Count Buckulees. Well, except for the lady in Cambridge WH Smith.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      Were you the guy who used to come up and HUG ME every single time I went in there? EVERY TIME. I used to dread you if you were. I was the only one in there not stinking of Vicks and necking back water, God bless my innocence.

      1. Papi

        Not I, although there was plenty of flop sweat hugs being bandied around. The toilet water was a bit rough too.

  11. Yep

    Orbital – Belfast. If I hear it now I still get a little teary-eyed with rosy red cheeks. T’was a perfect soundtrack for the downhill slalom towards reality the next morning/day.

  12. ZeligIsJaded

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in ‘Reckless (With Your Love’ by Anzari & III. Just house music heaven. Never gets old, never gets tired. Much like oneself when one is off one’s rasher

  13. Murtles

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in The Doors in particular Break On Through (To The Other Side). Shure Jim was off his tits writing it and singing it so it makes perfect sense to listen to it lambasted.

    You know the day destroys the night
    Night divides the day
    Tried to run
    Tried to hide
    Break on through to the other side

    And if your not naked on the floor behind the couch with a slice of pizza and a bottle of JD, you’re doing it wrong.

  14. Daisy Chainsaw

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Firestarter by the Prodigy. A bit mainstream, but I’ve always liked my dance music with a bit of snarl to it. Nothing a side order of mosh with your big fish, little fish, cardboard box.

    Hey hey hey.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      I remember Lenny Henry (I think) doing a skit about people like us in an Old Folks’ Home sitting around a piano all singing along merrily to Firestarter.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      I can never get over seeing Shaun Ryder looking like that. It’s hard not to think of him as the shaven-headed aul fella he’s looked like forever. He’s endlessly entertaining, I think.

  15. Cool_Hand_Lucan

    Either Superstylin by Groove Armada or Poor Leno by Royksopp. Too hard to pick one so I’ll just double-drop and dance to both.

  16. Termagant

    When I’m mashed to death on mind-altering but nonetheless 100% legal substances I like to dabble in some Too Many Zooz, particularly Bedford

  17. Al Jeers

    Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Happy Mondays – “Wrote For Luck”. If there’s an official video that portrays the sweaty, pilled up euphoria of a club at that time I’ve not seen it. From Mr Ryder’s autobiography I believe the prodcuers of said video had to hand out a bag of “inducements” to the club’s attendees to coax a realistic perforamce out of them. It worked. My Ryder looked like he took a shovel full himself…

    ‘Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Maniac 2000. Can’t belive no-one else has said it. Gets everyone bouncing, even now, when its played for the novelty value.

  20. Rich Uncle Skeleton

    ‘Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Two Months Off by Underworld because listen to it, that’s what it’s for.

  21. whatevers

    ‘Whenever I am completely off my rasher I especially like to lose myself in Nathan Fake’s “The sky was pink (james holden remix)” No idea what genre it is, genres in Dance music are pointless anyway. As someone once said to me at a house party: ” I play a bit of Housey House Tech House with a bit of techno”.

  22. Frilly Keane

    I’ll send ye all off yere rasher into the mash

  23. basil brush

    Whenever I was completely off my rasher I especially liked to lose myself in Cafe del Mar by Energy 52…loved every minute in Shaft, POD, Ormond and the aul Kitchen…thank Jaysus those days are gone though. I do remember it as a haze of happiness via foggy memory.

  24. francis almond

    Rising piano riffs and funky bass lines..
    Enough to produce the widest of gurning grins …
