Just so I'm sure, this is a math rock only DI yes?

 

[LemonMelon]

We'd be having Hip-Hop Island if it were up to me.

 

[cobl04]

It would only be you, Bonnie and Cassie competing sadly, and me listening.

 

[iron yuppie]

You hip-hop fans are on a first-name basis, are you?

 

[cobl04]

Well we are "purists".....

"I thought this was the No Iron Yuppies club..."

"'No Iron Yuppies.' We can have one."

 

[iron yuppie]

Does that mean that I'm a member?

If so, please attach the Stone of Triumph.

Work's been crazy (who knew having a full-time job would be time-consuming?), but I'm going to try and work on it today while I'm doing data transfers and computer replacements.

Climb the ladder, Monty...

My playlist is a little late but I'll have it uploaded in a couple hours.

 

[cobl04]

I'll have mine uploaded today.

Mine was sent last night as well.

Droogs.

If you've not read A Clockwork Orange, you don't get to use this word.

 

[cobl04]

I've listened to Alex Descends Into Hell, does that count?

Malenky malchick, when you can govoreet the nadsat as horrorshow as I, then you may call me your droog.

 

[LemonMelon]

What I love about Clockwork is that the entire vocabulary is made up of definition-free words that still somehow make a lot of sense in context. That sentence made total sense to me.

They're not definition-free if you speak Russian.

Really? I thought most of it was "rhyming slang" that Anthony Burgess pulled out of his ass. That's interesting.

that book hurt my brain. russian words written out in non-cyrillic apparently take me three times as long to read/comprehend, and i couldn't get past the feeling that i had to translate shit to understand it. it's the same if you take english words and write them out in cyrillic. takes a bit more for my brain to get "horrorshow" = good than it does for it to get xopoШo = good. takes a minute to understand what that bizarre combination of letters means, because looking at it, something ain't right. any kind of mock-communist poster where they write think they're being clever by writing their r's backwards drives me batshit nuts. i mean, that's a vowel for crying out loud.

i really need to finish my contribution to this DI. i feel compelled to add a cocksparrer tune now.

 

[onebloodonelife]

After one last listen through my list, it's uploading now. I finally made the all hip-hop list that I've been threatening for some time now, so apologies in advance to those who will inevitably dislike the concentrated listen.

I thought you might like that news. I did keep it to just over an hour so as not to completely overwhelm people.

First Master List thread will be posted this evening.

As these playlists are shorter, and we have 14 participants, I'm wondering if we should just do two threads, 7 and 7. Would that be too overwhelming for people? Time wise, that would still be less than having 4 regular DI playlists in the same thread. We'd also give it a few weeks before the next one arrived.

What say you?

 

[Reggo]

I'm good with that, pahana.

 

[iron yuppie]

I personally would prefer to have fewer lists at a time, but I could definitely handle a list of seven over two weeks.
