It's not all King by any stretch. Yolanda Charles is featuring quite heavily too, and there are other things -- some great Larry Graham, some dreadful Primus, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was the bit where Mitch Benn was acknowledging that slap bass isn't everybody's cuppa -- so our 'mention' was one quote from an 'isn't-slap-terrible' thread somewhere on the site, opining that "the only things that should be slapped are politicians and newborn babies' arses". So now the Radio 4 audience knows that we are miserable negative gits too Edited November 6, 2014 by UglyDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWarning Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 well I've just listened to it, God it's dreadful, 2 highspots, the quote from basschat about what should be slapped and about 10seconds of the Ramones, which probably explains why I thought the rest of it was dreadful, each to their own eh?

UglyDog Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Given that the programme was specifically about slapping, did you seriously expect to enjoy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyDog Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Interesting concept. I hate Coronation Street, but I can't say I've never gone out of my way to watch another episode just to remind myself how much I despise it. Perhaps I should?

[/quote]perhaps despise was putting it a bit strongly, dislike might be nearer the mark (King )I used to quite enjoy Coro, well the comedy bits anyway, but stopped watching it when the then Mrs Warning decided she'd had enough of me, can't say I've missed it (or her) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
