Wasn't it just. I never met them but saw them at an event in Alton, Hampshire. Sh*t was bonkers. I was only 15/16 at the time and boshed off my tits on Es. We would have been the best of friends, I wonder if years later our paths crossed being I was at Peach every Friday.
This was back to when the "r" word was illegal, I used to love it.
I went to a mad rave in popham Hampshire.
Goodness me. Those Cali sunrises worked
My favourites were double doves but I liked pink new yorkers because I used to trip balls on them as a come down, it was hilarious seeing all sort of weird shit that wasn't there. Red and blacks, rhubarb and custards...Fuck me we've done a lot of drugs between us haha.
I would have liked to have met Prodigy. I saw Flint at the first Download Festival but they seemed to go unnoticed as a filler band but I got into it.
Yeah the New Yorkers had bits of lsd paper in them
double doves were weak. I knocked them out. They were the end of the scene. Dennis the menace and rhubarbs were capsules.
strong .
I miss those days
Roger Troutman was ahead of his time. Genius and some really great songs (and some really shitty ones too, but this is an example of the former).

Dave's Song of the Day
Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta – Geto Boys
Saturday song of the day: Today’s song became much more well-known when it was used in a movie.
Houston rap group the Geto Boys were moderately successful, but their influence on later southern rappers was larger than their sales would indicate. In 1991 they had their biggest hit with Mind Playing Tricks on Me, which peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. We are going to talk about another of their songs today, however.
Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta was never released as an official single. It was a previously unreleased song that was included on the 1992 compilation album Uncut Dope: Geto Boys Best. It was also released at the time as a promotional CD single, which included two different edits of the song and two additional songs, The Unseen and Scarface. As such, it did not chart at all. Geto Boys did make a music video for Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta, however.
It wasn’t until several years that the song became as well-known as Mind Playing Tricks on Me. In 1999, Mike Judge included Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta in his film Office Space, as a backdrop for the main character disregarding all office rules and norms of behavior. It fit so well that pretty much anyone who saw the movie remembers the scene and the music. It could possibly be the Geto Boys most familiar song now.
Geto Boys still exist as a duo, but core member Bushwick Bill passed away due to pancreatic cancer in June 2019.

Dave's Song of the Day
Dominique – The Singing Nun
Sunday song of the day: Today’s song was never intended to see wide release and became an unlikely hit record.
In 1961, a Belgian nun recorded an album that her order planned to give out as gifts and sell to visitors to the convent. Jeanne-Paule Marie (Jeannine) Deckers was known as Sister Luc Gabriel as a Dominican nun, and the record was credited to her as “the Singing Nun” or Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile). The plan was to produce a few hundred albums, but the executives at the record company liked the album and convinced the nuns to allow wide release. It proved to be an international hit, and the album sold over two million copies in 1962.
The most well-known song from the album was Dominique, which told the story of Saint Dominic, who had established the Dominican order. Dominique was released as a single in October 1963 and was a #1 hit in many different countries. In the United States it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks. As the song was in French, most Americans had no idea what the lyrics meant, but the tune was catchy enough that it didn’t matter. Dominique was nominated for three Grammys and won one, for Best Gospel or Other Religious Recording.
In 1966, a film called The Singing Nun was released that purported to tell the story of Soeur Sourire. It starred Debbie Reynolds and was entirely fictional. The film used an English version of Dominique in which the lyrics had nothing to do with the original French lyrics. Instead of translating from the French, they told a different story altogether. The film was a flop.
The real-life story of Soeur Sourire is much more tragic. She left her order in 1966, citing personality clashes with her superiors. When her record was a surprise hit, all profits were donated to the Dominican order, but unfortunately, Jeannine Deckers was liable for all the taxes on income from the record. This left her in poverty. She attempted a singing career but was never able to repeat her early success.
After years of financial problems, legal difficulties with the Belgian government over taxes, and disagreement with the church, she and her lesbian partner committed suicide in 1985.
