That's crazy, this is the type of thing which paved the way and preceded huge artists like Basshunter and Avicii later on

I also enjoy how Americans basically skipped the The Prodigy and Pendulum phases of EDM and went straight from Daft Punk to Skrillex

You don't have to "know" EDM, it was really mainstream stuff in the popular zeitgeist

[John Price]

And all those people are mainstream.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

you need to play some van hagar

they were WAY, WAY better with Diamond Dave.

 

[Siamese Dream]

And all those people are mainstream.

Malcolm Tucker : This is important stuff, Hugh! Right, we do a weekly digest for the Prime Minister, we boil down the week's television, cinema, music, so on.

Oliver Reeder : The Zeitgeist tapes.

Malcolm Tucker : Exactly, the Zeitgest tapes. EastEnders highlights, choice bits from all the reality shows, 10 seconds music videos, that kind of thing.

Malcolm Tucker : your ex Angela Heaney. But, this is a perfect opportunity to show just how clued-up you are, actually! Hughey Abbot, the in-touch guy! You're on the ball! You know the price for a pint of milk! You love HBO imports, VH1, Pixar, you dig the Streets.

Hugh Abbott : Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're all great.

Malcolm Tucker : You've got absolutely no f***ing idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Hugh Abbott : Yes, I do.

Malcolm Tucker : Who's the only gay in the village?

Hugh Abbott : Eddie Grundy. I dunno... No, he has children. Mind you, alot of them do these days! Ben at the Foreign Office...

Malcolm Tucker : What's a chav?

Hugh Abbott : Ch... erm...

Malcolm Tucker : Hugh, what is a chav?

Oliver Reeder : Come on, you must know this!

Glenn Cullen : Chav!

Malcolm Tucker : Chav!

Hugh Abbott : Just saying "chav" isn't really helpful!

I'm really not interested at all in your little tiff. Get round her, take your Barry White album and your lube and your f***ing policy folder!

I still think it's funny how The Thick of It had Hugh on for like 10 episodes and then he magically disappeared and then they started covering the opposition

 

[John Price]

Malcolm Tucker:
Don't start with the moral objections, you f***ing Blue Peter badge wearing ponce! Go and make a contribution to the f***ing Amnesty International! Go and buy a goat a whole village can f***, but you are doing this for me!
Oliver Reeder:
Malcolm! You're bullying me, and I dunno why you're bullying me...
Malcolm Tucker:
How dare you! How dare you! Don't you ever, EVER, call me a bully! I'm so much worse than that.

 

[Tarantula]

Actually I was in my local shop once and a guy started to play the piano part of Layla, and he was good and everybody just basically shut the fadoo up and listened for the next couple minutes.

He didn't disappear, he got fired in a cabinet reshuffle!

The show also got a much bigger budget at that point

Malcolm vs Phil is my favourite scene

well somebody's a Gibson guy!

I recently saw one of the Custom Shop Reissue '59 LP's with the Murphy Lab aging. Cherry Sunburst finish. It was a religious experience.

 

[Siamese Dream]

There ain't no party like a Super-Hans party

 

[Siamese Dream]

I don't want to go into the heart of darkness!

 

[Tarantula]

Yeah, I'm a Gibson guy, they are beautiful and take it rough!
