'London, he says, is a city under siege from a suburban government which uses homelessness, pollution, crime, and the most expensive and run down public transport system of any city in Europe as weapons against Londoners' lingering desire for the freedoms of city life.'

I heard a lot of UK funky/funky house at Nasty One and Rampage, some great, some terrible. Colville Gardens were indeed very rowdy, but almost entirely in a good way. Are You Gonna Bang Doe? the anthem. Nice that they played some old Dizzee as well, almost the whole of Pow! etc, loads of Mavado...

It's in the Symposium. Humans started off as androgynous souls with four arms, four legs and two faces on a single head. Zeus felt they were too powerful, so cut them in half. So now we spend our lives searching for our other half, to complete our self. According to Aristophanes. The first...

not for me...would love to hear it

35 Shots of Rum Brilliantly observed, visually eloquent, moving. Ozu-esque, but not exclusively. One quite breathtaking scene (won't spoil it).

My opinion. Just out of interest, why are you no longer a vegan? If for 10 years you suffered no ill effects, and, presumably you still agree with the environmental/moral argument? Do you feel healthier on your current diet? re: Ray Peat, no not my only source, I just think he is unusually...

I've been vegan/vegetarian in the past, and can only say that sustained veganism, done by the book, gave me serious deficiencies and mental issues; if you're looking for a diet to label 'unnatural', veganism is it. It's essentially an eating disorder. Vegetarianism that includes eggs and/or...

I enquired about Ulysses. Was it progressing? “I have been working hard on it all day,” said Joyce. “Does that mean that you have written a great deal?” I said. “Two sentences,” said Joyce. …“You have been seeking the mot juste?” I said. “No,” said Joyce. “I have the words already. What I am...

I think Shakespeare is the first to realise that the doppelganger is horrifying rather than (in fact, as well as) funny- The Comedy of Errors (1594) originally derives from Plautus's Menaechmi, about twins who have been separated since early childhood being mistaken for one another when one...

back off topic but vis a vis Gill, his recent article about old people again was quite affecting: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article5980973.ece

Tyson: The Movie

are you serious?? whatever you think about Israel it's impossible to present them as skilled media manipulators. even those who are 'on their side' in the western media are not being given much help. i've found it interesting how even newspapers like, for instance, The Daily Telegraph, have...

Just finished Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, possibly the most ambitious 'poem' ever? it basically tries to perform the entire infinite operation of the material universe, including human thought, as materially coessential and symphonically harmonious. sort of like a one-up on Milton, i.e. so...

Don't give up, the cerebral strain eases significantly after the first three episodes when the narrative moves from Stephen's (self-consciously intellectual, philosophical, densely allusive) interior monologue to Bloom's. I read it for the first time over Christmas, it took me five weeks, but...

Love this... I think Prancehall is spot-on: http://www.viceland.com/int/v15n3/htdocs/do_it.php

Yes. Both stunningly beautiful and intellectually articulate. It isn't on DVD (or video), happily.
