This is why you're fat.com

This is the best diet motivation in the world! I recently came across the gut wrenching, heart attack inducing, cardiac causing "this is why you're fat.com" Check that shit out.

I've always thought I have a bad diet, what with chocolate, cake an the Woody Grill featuring in my diet, however when I stumbled across this website, I realised I have treated my body like a temple.

I am so, so, so glad that I don't live in the USA, a place where food like this is still legal. Possibly the worst dish on here is the "Baconnaise."

Oh dear.

Truly yours,

Dasal

NoRave

Hate nu-rave? Feel the joke has gone too far? Too hipster for ex-hipster music? Then NoRave music is for you.

Last week i found out about the brilliant no rave genre whilst "DJing" an event. I rushed home eager to find out more. I had only been told about it, now I needed to hear it. The premise of NoRave is essentially to be a big wet slap in the face of pussy southerners bopping along to their supposedly cutting edge hipster rhythms, a.k.a. nu rave. In their own words,

"The whole thing came about because we were listening to a lot of music that was quite experimental and joking about the acts that were supposedly the hip new things but that were really conservative. So we thought, why not create something like an inverse of what is happening in London and that is musically exciting?"

This compilation album comes from Glasgow label 'little rock records' and essentially features artists all from their label or artists originally from Glasgow itself. The music itself isn't too bad, but the principle of it is in my eyes, funny yet a little pointless. While all the music on the album is listenable, I wouldn't say it was enjoyably listenable. Whats the point of music which isn't enjoyable, or even remotely danceable. This isn't intelligent dance music, just novelty. Actually, no the only use I can think of it is scary horror films or some sort of torture to give people on acid. Euurgh. I'll probably play a song next time I'm DJing just for kicks.
