I agree with you up to a point but I believe hatred is a powerful energy that can be wielded to do great good. An acute hatred of poverty for example might lead a person to do charity work. An acute hatred of pollution and waste can lead people to a more responsible lifestyle. Know what I mean?

I hate poverty, war and famine and I mean really hate them.

Oh, I see. Apologies.

No, that's my attitude (or opinion). I don't speak for the manistream but if I did I'd probably say rap and hip-hop are great as they they seem to top the charts every other week.

I wouldn't worry. I'm in the UK and some orders from Psyshop have taken a week to arrive.

I'll put my hand up and admit I've heard one or two (and I mean one or two) good political rap songs but all that crap about Mercedes', Gucci, Prada, guns, 'bitches' and money just bores me. I mean really, who can sing about that sort of thing and expect to be taken seriously?

That was below the belt.

That's true upto a certain point, but rap crosses the line.

Infected Mushroom - Semi Nice

I'm going to spoil the party somewhat here by saying I loved the tracks on release but I don't think they've aged all that well, particularly Psychopod. I'll get my coat.

Infected Mushroom - Scorpion Frog

I tend to agree. I'd rather drink a big bowl of other people's spit or suck the cum from the penis of an old man with herpes rather than be subjected to some twat rapping.

UX - Dominion

Hey, this heavenly thread is about our Lord, Simon Posford, not for bickering.

Shpongle - Around The World In a Tea Daze (Ott's Mix)

What party's this, do you have a link?

300 Euro/£200 ain't that bad for a weekend really, not if you really enjoy yourself. But I don't know, it's all relative to income and expenditure.

Is it wrong that what I saw aroused me?

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

Tip-top album that just manages to pip The Gathering to the post as Infected Mushroom's finest collection of work. I mean, who can resist classical-flavoured psy-trance? No-one. Not even the hard of hearing. 9/10 from me.

Hallucinogen - The Herb Garden

Yep, this is classic goa trance and probably MFG's finest album in my opinion. Every good home deserves a copy.

That's a picture of full-on enthusiasts or to give them their proper name, satanists.

I prayed and ye were delivered. It was bloody quick too, wasn't it, I really didn't expect you to find enlightenmnet this soon.
