It is cleverly designed to fool people. The wording at the start - 'no hidden fees, all the prices are final' is particularly misleading, especially as it's on a page which is actually showing the cost without handling fees - in effect those fees are hidden at that point.

When you get to page '3' and it asks you for your card details, it does show the handling fee on that page for the first time.

Above this it has the page number '3' and next to it it says '4 confirmation' -... Читать дальше...

They do. The educational stuff is a top priority, which is why Dutch footballers invariably have excellent, fluent English.

Holiday Inn Express, Norwich. Couple of miles out of the centre/ground.

Why is he back with us and not training with derby waiting to get league clearance to play in jan. Surely he signed a contract with derby and they should be paying his wages?

See you there on Nov 17 .... Henri Herbert and The Fury

It applies to both tbf. Not on point though Jonathan. Have black musicians become lazy and complacent or is it because they haven't been ousted by white guys ripping them off?

TBF Stechy it doesn't take years of practice and it doesn't take talent. It takes some dedication, I'll give you that, but talent? Nah.

Finding the right kick drum? Who's kick drum? John Bonham's? G.C. Coleman's? A drum machine's?
EQing is a learnt skill but anyone with half an ear can twiddle a knob until it sounds like you want it to. Learning to play the Purdie Shuffle is a skill. Cutting and pasting someone else's stuff isn't a skill, is it? That's why they... Читать дальше...

You make the music that makes you happy Stechy (tu)

Now, about the rap/hip hop thing... anything to add?

Anybody know how many we have sold ?

I put the NB in Hacker because someone always tries to shoehorn EDM into the discussion, as has been proven, even though they were told not to. They can't help themselves.

Now, if you have something to add to the debate I'd be genuinely interested to hear it as I believe that black artists have been at the forefront of musical invention since the slaves were brought over to America and the whites have, in the main, just followed the black trend setters. Black music though has ceased to evolve and I'm interested in why.

Or, more specifically, white rap and hip hop music.

As with most black genres, rap didn't catch on big style until the white kids appropriated it (and welded it to heavy rock & metal music) but the best of the genre has generally come from the black artists and , probably for the first time in popular music history, they've made the money and stayed in control. A who's who of white rappers I've just read through has "Weird Al" Yankovic in the top 20 ffs. With other luminaries such as Vanilla Ice... Читать дальше...

I love hip hop and think game of thrones is pony so we're in agreement there Q. However too right off house & techno as talentless is ridiculous and I think you're blatantly trying to be a contrarian.

Stop it you naughty boy.

Do you actually have any concept at all about how time works? You've mentioned a shit load of acts, ALL of whom had success AFTER the Beastie Boys hit number 1 and you're trying to argue that they were successful before that?

There were a few rap hits here and there but The Beasties and Rick Rubin, along with samples from the likes of AC/DC, Led Zep and Black Sabbath broke it wide open.

So your response is an article not even about the topic of your comment written a guy whom you consider talentless ?

He is referring to djs in the article not producers, as he is one.

I know where he is coming from in this article as there are many djs stealing a living basically talentless play pushers.

The fact Paris Hilton can get a DJ set says all you need to know about it. so in that sense I would say in some cases your point rings true....but you really have tarred eveyryone with the same brush. Читать дальше...

Repeat of Harry on League of Their Own on Sky 1 - great character, must have watched it about 20 times but even better watching it now he's our manager...

No, just very boring...! In fairness it is about 2 years old and I may have exaggerated the 20 slightly...

That would be the beastie boys but MC Hammer spent 21 weeks at the top in 1991 and that is most likely where rap music went global.

He's trolling.

Don't take the bait and ignore him.
