49: When does a simulation become a dystopia?

It’s Glastonbury weekend, and we’re back with the Big
Questions.


Not a sentence we expected to be saying on No Tags, but we kick
off by talking about Will Smith – specifically his recent
appearance with London streamer du jour DJ AG. The Fresh
Prince is in the middle of a generationally cringe promo run and
we’ve been wanting to discuss AG’s streams for a while now, so
these two forces colliding over a dubstep remix of the Men in
Black theme felt like the perfect opportunity.


If you’re looking for something more high-brow, well, you still
have to get through Tom’s full review of the Cooper’s
Hill Cheese Roll – aka Final Destination: Cotswolds.
Once we’re through that, it’s onto higher ground, debriefing
recent experiences at Polyphonic Eating with Yu Su, Warp
Records’ ‘happening’ at The Barbican and a No
Tags night out at Corsica for Hodge and Peverelist.
Music writers who still go to clubs? Perish the thought!
