I'd definitely put LCD into the dance music category. Give them a listen (anything except 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' or 'New York I love you'. I recommend 'Get Innocuous', 'Us VS Them', 'All my Friends' or 'Someone Great'). Quality

I checked them out. Listened to them while I cooked dinner. Some songs had strains of Violent Femmes and Talking Heads (obviously nowhere near as good). Others were a bit 80s to the point I could imagine one of them with a keyboard guitar. There was a bit of The Killers and Franz Ferdinand in there and then also some highly repetitive EDM.

Overall they were alright as background music. Not really my thing and not something I'd put on but the sort I'd have no issue with.

When I hear the words dance music, I immediately think of some guy plugging his iPod in and waving his hands in the air while some female pop singer repeats the same few lines over and over. The fact LCD Soundsystem actually play instruments is a big plus.

Really twisted your arm huh. Not that it'd take much, given those wrists, but still.

Well if anything I'd slip easily from any grasp, no?

I've ridiculously thin wrists too. I can wrap my thumb and pinkie around with space to spare. It's not a particularly useful attribute outside maybe of veterinary science.

All I know is, I innocently wandered in here looking for advice on cooking a goddam turkey leg, and I've been thinwristshamed to the point of having that last belgian beer in my fridge.

Nah they are tragically thin wrists, but it's a small price to pay for my otherwise magnificent anatomical proportions.

Can't go anywhere with an extradition treaty with Italy either.

Here's the beast:

It doesn't appear to be smoked, but I'll check it out when I open it later.

Is it already smoked? I googled it and it seems to come up with a lot of "smoked turkey" results...

Brown it and slow cook the bastard with carrots and tomatoes, bit of bacon

So I bought a massive thing of meat in a German supermarket last night. I honestly thought it was a pig's trotter, but when I got home and Googled Putenschenken, turns out it's a Turkey leg. It's a feckin beast of a thing, 2.3kg. Would you use the standard chicken cooking guidelines for this? I.e., 190C for 20mins per lb + 20mins? So in this case approx 2hrs?

Short answer is yes. It may cook quicker if the bone is in it.

If that's the weight of a leg, it must have been the turkey equivalent of a TH prop.

I'd boil it in it's own pìss for 3 years at 545 degrees...then leave it aside for 20 minutes.

House music is what you hear in shoe shops.

Yeah it's a pretty broad title. But it's better than the Americans with their EDM.

Current favourites are Todd Terje & Paul Kalkbrenner. Older stuff would be Underworld & Orbital

Band wise, you can't beat a bit of LCD Soundsystem

So many genres in "dance" music....I prefer the more tribal house sounds of Steve Lawler myself.

3-bed 2-bath House has been killing in Dublin the past 4 or 5 years.
