I want a bully to give this guy a titty twister for wearing that blouse, and those fucking glasses. This guy makes me hate ALL music.

 

 

yowza mcbowza

[acroyear]

LOL

[LimpyLoo]

 

 

 

 

i think I have to take a sabbatical from watmm until this "anal poop" thing dies off. so long wankers.

Likewise. Please notify me when Limpy has left the building. Peace

I'm in this camp too

 

I always have been

 

 

 

Ouch, the guy who hates women doesn't like me.

 

I don't even know Ludd. I'm sure he's a cool dude, though. Sorry you don't like me, mate.

[awepittance]

i don't think it's an overt dislike, you seem like a good guy, but you just post quite a lot

[LimpyLoo]

I kinda do, don't I?

 

As for my behaviour in this thread:

 

I really kinda take it to heart when people get nasty about Burial

 

while musically he's certainly not an underdog

he is not responsible for the hype that surrounds his music

he's just a reclusive dude who makes choons

probably just like many WATMMers

so I guess that

along with really liking his music

I kinda root for him as a person too

and when people spew hatred his way

it just bums me out

 

so in the spirit (though probably not quality) of Dadaism

I thought I'd protest in my own little dumb way

[marf]

the hipster aesthetic seems to have replaced the military surplus apparel look in the idm community. it wasnt supposed to be this way!

[jules]

spewing hatred?

 

come on limpy, jbc

[LimpyLoo]

look, i'm not taking a self-righteous stance or anything

 

i'm just explaining myself

 

Burial's my boy

[jules]

that's cool. I don't think people were spewing hatred though.

[thief]

what kind of clothes should i wear if i want passers by to know i listen to idm and burial

[jules]

tranny

[awepittance]

but they could just also mistake you for a chav instead of a burial fan

or you could also just go for this


or if you wanna go more subtle this:

Let yourself go, ooooOOOOOHHHohbabe...

[KovalainenFanBoy]

You see, Burial was right after all

 

Limpy Loo is Burial's own anti-bully guardian angel here on watmm

[Amen Lare]

The "angel" phrasing belongs to Mary-Ann Hobbs, she distorted the message as only her orgasmic mind could do

[Silent Member]

I hope his next EPs fix the enviromental and political issues around the globe. Burial 4 president.

 

 

 

 

edit: goddamnit, this EP has turned me into a bully. I will stop. Maybe playing it backwards will help. Sorry Burial.

Are you sure? I listened to it and it sounded like she read it as part of his text, regardless of how it's being reported by some sources.

[MadameChaos]

I don't understand the message. Is the kid being bullied because he's trying to sell drugs on another kids patch?

[Amen Lare]

So much funny jokes on bullying, bad effort for good cause.

I haven't listened to it, though i'm in disbelief Burial used these words.

[phudoshin]

I just split all 3 tracks into separate "coherent" sections so I can randomly play em....

 

So now i have a 10 track EP......

(could have done anther split here in there....)

 

Rival Dealer - I've been watching you

Rival Dealer - I have chosen you

Rival Dealer - Trying to find

 

Hiders 1

Hiders 2

Come down to us - intro

Come down to us - inter

Come down to us - 2

Come down to us - 3

Come down to us - outro

Am I stupid or what?

Fair point, although having heard this EP, nothing would surprise me anymore.

You're kidding but I've been thinking the thematic samples in Rival Dealer might be a somewhat misguided attempt to tie it in with the other two. It's the hardest track he's ever done, replacing his regular R&B and 2-step influences with hip hop and hardcore. The ambient outro is much closer to those on his previous releases, too, not at all as overwhelmingly sentimental as the other two tracks. If you look at the 12-inch, despite Come Down To Us being a couple of minutes longer they squeezed that on one side with Hiders and dedicated a whole side to Rival Dealer. The two sides are like polar opposites and it feels a bit forced to fit them into one narrative. Maybe that's all part of the concept but I have no clue what the title has to do with the anti-bullying message.

Rival Dealer is such an awesome name. It has vibe to it, sliding on a stylistic cliche territory yet feeling real. I would watch a movie under this name (Pusher trilogy is pretty good, for example). I suspect he chooses names purely for aesthetical purposes. But i don't like the angel's spell idea, say something outside of your marketed image. Angel's spell? A robot could generate that at this moment in time for Burial.
