Cankles-McJeggings alistair Aah yes petridish which he absolutely hated. Nah he just fucked off to be a twat elsewhere.
jonattonyeah alistair https://www.theguardian.com/music/2004/nov/03/popandrock I mean, he’s not totally wrong. Dance music took a backseat for quite a few years there and likely never got back to where it was in the ’90’s. Maybe it’s the American in me, but I believe dance music belongs in the underground anyway. It’s better when it’s raw and unpredictable and, frankly, disposable.
mono-stereo Smallman1 Yeah it was actually Dom Phillips I was thinking of. Found the interview of him on the infamous mixmag cover: https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2018/03/dom-phillips-interview Was that the one with the halo? Yeah, the reason was he’d been a nightmare all day and wouldn’t do anything. I had to go down [to the shoot]. At the end of the day, the photographer, exasperated, just said “Go like that” [clasps hands, as if in prayer]. The pictures came in and Pembo [Andy Pemberton, then editor of Mixmag] said, “Son of God.” So, we did. It was more a case of necessity than anything we set out to do. Oh, he always said he wasn’t happy about it. I think the reason he wasn’t comfortable about it was that all his mates used to phone him up and take the piss out of him. He’s quite a lad. When we did the “Son of God?” cover, he really hated that. We actually had a wrestling match about it outside the Ministry of Sound. A wrestling match? Yeah, me and Sasha wrestled. We had this protracted argument for about an hour that people were trying to break up. It didn’t become a fight, but it became this magical wrestling match: “You shouldn’t have said that.” “You should have co-operated with the photos.” [laughs]
mono-stereo I can understand why Sasha (then a young lad) would of been pissed off about that cover, but in retrospect now it’s iconic.
Cankles-McJeggings The details are fucking harrowing. Not sure I needed to know. Feel for his family and friends having to learn of such a gruesome demise. RIP Dom at least his words will live on for eternity.
