Picking up on Mark Ellen's comment from the latest Podcast where he mentions extracting Garcia's guitar solo from a Grateful Dead song when he's got a couple of minutes to wait for his train, I was wondering if any other Wordians selectively edit songs down to the “good bit” when the circumstance allows?

Speaking personally, I’m a bugger for it. So listing a few of my crimes in no particular order:

Rush – “The Camera Eye” 9m17s guitar solo from God
Outkast – “Hey Ya!” 1m26s “nothing lasts forever”
The Stone Roses – “Begging You” 2m34s moan for me, guitar…
Underworld – “Cowgirl” 4m30s “I’m hurtin’ no one…”

Lots of guitar solos there (I could mention Highway Star from Made In Japan, for example), but I’ve lost count of the number of times that a particular part, be it drum fill or whatever, has caught my attention and been recycled endlessly without me listening to the whole song. So, the question is, does anyone else share this affliction (with apologies to Mr Ellen)?

Writing as someone who believes that he is reasonably au fait with popular music (I mean, I'm a Word reader, goddammit!), I am nonetheless forced to appeal to the wider community of like-minded souls (i.e. those joined by their shared knowledge of the role of the "anal cleft" in Van Morrison's work - it's like a Masonic handshake) to try and identify a style of music that's totally new to me.
I live in a fairly rough part of Gateshead where the youth seem to have adopted the chav lifestyle to the man or (permanently pregnant and/or pissed) woman. Along with the cheap tack’n'bella fuelled random shouting and violence, I’ve also noticed that they seem to be listening to an especially horrible type of techno. It’s just a straight 4/4 happy-hardcore-ish rhythm track with parping synth lines at about 180bpm, but rather than rapping or singing, the vocal track seems to always consist of a British bloke shouting over the top of everything. And it is just shouting – at first I thought it was taken from the desk at a rave, with the MC spurring the punters on by exhorting them to “COME ON!!!” every two bars. But continual exposure has convinced me that someone is actually recording this in a studio: that it’s actually meant to sound like this. Lord have mercy.
After my initial thought that this music had been designed with the sole intention of producing the theoretical maximum level of irritation when played on a packed Metro train through a mobile phone, I remembered the sidebar item in The Word about “Free Tekno” and I started to wonder if this shit is the same as that shit. So there’s the question: does anybody a) know what I’m talking about, b) know what this music is called and c) know if it’s morally OK to kill those perpetrating it?
