This is a normal post TBH, it's not usually my kind of music,
but it has its place, and I quite like the videos. He was a real pioneer, and dying at 28 is shit. I don't want to assume, but probability suggests a high chance of drink/drugs.

Oh noes! Where will we get our anonymous cookie-cutter dance music now?

Oh, wait..

Hardly Bowie or Prince, is it?

This is a normal post Many thanks
For giving the opportunity to repeat and expand my insult.
He was popular rich and famous: you're the exact opposite.
But you are good at:
Taking offense for no reason - because you're a whiney cunt
Accusing other people of thought crime - because that's your major contribution to life.

This is a normal post fucking up toads like you.
I get a highly negative mention in Piers Morgan's diaries too, which I wear as a badge of honour.
I was quite a good soldier. A national award winning journalist who got a ftse-100 company convicted of fraud.
And I will die in a ditch for my DIY - despite what the wife says.
How about you, mate?

Voting to torpedo the entire country forever, of course. Apparently.

EDIT: 'Polling', not voting. There is a small but crucial difference. More Leavers should acquaint themselves with this..

Yes it was technically a non legally binding poll not a vote.
The votes all happened in parliament and all said we're fucking leaving.

This is a normal post This month marks ten years since the peak of the Rickrolling phenomenon.
"Want to feel old? The 'want to feel old?' factoid meme dates back to around 2011, closer to the Bush/Kerry election than to today."

--Shamelessly copied from XKCD 3 days ago.

But if you've not been to Ibiza since before 2012, or involved in that 'scene', then it's understandable you'd not know of him. I don't think he was ever controversial, but much better known by social media than TV. He did the first crowdsourced hit ("X You") in 2013.

To be clear on my interpretation, this man was not a musician, he was a DJ. He created nothing (or very little, compared to an actual - y'know - artist), but sold a bunch. Fair enough.

To say he was worth eleventy squillion just puts it in the ball park of, oh, the CEO of Goldman Sachs died. It's never 'good', don't get me wrong, but in terms of human endeavour, it's not as if we've lost a shining light in the dark or whatever. I might sample something (crucially, that someone else did), put 'doof doof doof' on top, maybe I'll make a million, who knows? The point is, he was a salesperson, not an artist. I don't feel good about his passing, but nor do I feel particularly moved either way.

This is a normal post A sad loss it is for anyone at that age but he was hardly cutting edge or an innovator
Just cheesy diluted plink pop added with euphoric sound which has been doing the rounds since the late 90's. Guess he tapped into a market of it's time with the abundance of festivals and a new generation of social media peeps who being there and seen and smashing it is more important than the content. Tunes to be played over endless YouTube Videos of someone doing the washing up to the max.
