This is a fucking disgrace: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/6639595.stm (the murder verdict, I mean)

As TB fast approaches the end of his decade in power, the inevitable discussion of his 'legacy' (and the equally inevitable sniggering and tirades of abuse) begins. From the left, there's criticism of his eagerness to cooperate with big business, his devotion to PFI, the erosion of civil...

Fundies say the darndest things!

OPERA - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc. Hehehe, just kidding. :)

I know there's a 'mushrooms' thread already, but I thought this deserved its own thread - I picked the better part of a pound (EDIT: just over half a kilo in the end!) of morels yesterday near Russel Sqaure tube station, which is about as central in London as you can get. Gave them a good clean...

In the immortal words of Bang Face, "HEALTH AND SAFETY CAN FUCK OFF". My college is hosting some sort of open day at the moment, and judging from the temporary signs that have sprung up over the campus, it's for people who are unable to eat a piece of toast without inadvertently disembowling...

There appears to be a war breaking out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6329569.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6335483.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6363303.stm This is David Cameron's take on it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6367273.stm So...

I don't know about you, but I think an important thing for a band is to have a good name. For example, I think a lot of industrial/EBM bands have great names - Throbbing Gristle, Tackhead, Nitzer Ebb (maybe not Velvet Acid Christ!). Anyway, here are some bands that don't exist, but should, and...

It may seem like a cultural association more often made with dodgy heavy metal, but does anyone else get a really Lovecraftian vibe from some of the tracks on Autechre's first album, Incunabula? I'm talking here about the sheer mysteriousnous of some of the music: the low, subtly menacing...
