Barry White vs Al Green
billbradley said:Early to mid-70's Al was pretty fit and looked like a boxer. But getting knocked by a heavyweight like Barry has it's merits also. I'm going to go with Al though. I think he'd be able to move out of the way when Barry came after him and would put up a good fight.Young Barry White wasn’t fat though. He was slim, broooad shouldered and the megawatt smile. At Al Green’s fighting weight I go with Barry.

Hello to the Strut
I’ll second shrooms as the psychedelic I would revisit. Compared to acid, they’re a more mellow trip and (maybe placebo effect here) feels more natural than the straight chemical hit from a tab.
I took my first hit of LSD when I was 12 or 13. Things started off good: patterns on surfaces, movement trails and enhanced colours, after a while the visuals got so strong I was no longer aware of my surroundings. A friend asked how I was doing and told me a favourite Guns’n’Roses song of mine was playing. He looked like donkey Kong to me and when I tried to focus on the music - which I hadn’t even noticed was playing - it sounded like bagpipes through a flanger. I thought he was joking. Then my friends and the room I was in were eclipsed by colours and light, and I spent a few very intense hours going through the 2001: Space Odyssey worm-hole. Falling through space, and smashing through Mariokart Rainbow Road colour tiles. After a looong time doing this, my head cleared enough for me to see the room I was in, and my brother and friend were playing Super Nintendo, laughing away and having a good trip. I looked at the screen and asked them why they had street fighter 2 paused. They looked at me and said they were playing Mariokart!
Surprisingly, I continued taking acid throughout my teens. At 16 yrs me and some school friends tripped Friday nights for almost an entire season of Ren & Stimpy - the space madness episode was a memorable one, but I handled these trips much better. We always went out once we came up. Being on the move, giving yourself new stimuli is a good way to avoid focussing on any internal thoughts for too long that, if you’re not in the right frame of mind, could lead to a bad trip. Being around nature was also much more fun than being stuck inside the restrictive right angles of a room. Another lesson we learnt: avoid socialising with sober people. Going to a bar on acid only makes you suspicious that somehow everyone around you can see/knows you’re tripping and innocent comments from them can seem to have strange subtexts... because the best part of tripping for me was doing it with friends and the philosophical discussions you’d have together, the empathy forged from sharing the same crazy experience.
The last time I took acid I was around 20, and felt completely in control throughout. We hung out with other friends who were sober, broke into a shut-down school and played basketball in a dark gymnasium, and mellowed back into sobriety with a few spliffs. Since then I’ve not really felt the need or temptation to do it again. For one, you have to be prepared to strap yourself in for 8 hours or so. There’s no stopping the ride if you’re not enjoying where it’s taking you. But I feel like I’ve run the gamut of what trips can be like from insanely psychedelic to just a pleasant diversion, I’ve had all those conversations about interconnectedness and how things seem to hold so much significance you burst out laughing until you cry. Think I’d do shrooms again given the right conditions, or a nice hit of MDMA.

Sly Stone doc by ?love & Common Sense
Twenty-ish years ago UK heads were treated to a music series on Channel 4 called something like Top Ten ______ bands. There was a brilliant Hip-Hop one presented by Flava Flav & Mark Lamar, and one on Funk bands. Each band would have a few interviews with surviving members, journalists from the era and other notables with an opinion, and I’ll always remember the Sly Stone segment for an anecdote relating to a pitbull and a monkey. Sly lived in some groupie-heaven mansion, and owned the two aforementioned pets. The monkey used to walk up to the pitbull, slap it’s face, and race off and climb a pole - juuust out of reach of the angry dog. Sly and other band mate would watch and laugh, but one day speculated on what the dog would do if it ever caught the monkey. So they greased the pole.
The next time the monkey slapped the dog, they watched the chase to the pole as usual but this time the monkey slipped straight down with a bang, and the pitbull bit the fucker on the back of the neck, held it down and proceeded to assfuck the life out of that monkey.
The monkey never slapped the dog again.
I don’t know enough about ?love to be sure if his personality is different when on or off camera.

New Music / Release Thread
ketan said:Anyone else think that Rosalía album is
So another Barcelona connection: girl from the same amateur-dramatics crowd that Ferran (of Rosie-Lee choreography) and a flatmate of mine hung with has launched a music career that is to me a lot better than Rosie-Lee:
