Never heard of him until yesterday (although I've heard of the radical Archigram [this is why I read The Times as my main broadsheet, who also had large obituary on the King of Hobos the other day] ) - but man, if Cook will stay in charge of design then the Olympics could be quite something in...

http://www.bbspot.com/News/2006/11/home-theater-regulations.html (via digg) It's a joke, but still the thinking is not too far from what we've seen bandied around. And did someone read Mike Hucknall's ridiculous request for extending British copyright laws (just in case he lives to 130) -...

I came accross Netvouz a couple of days ago. Seriously impressed with it so far - thing like batch edit, good importing, proper categories (as well as tags), private marks, easy removal of duplicates and integration with most browsers (inc Opera). Recommended if you are looking for an online...

Hadn't heard of the term "hauntology" when I created the mix (in June 2005), but in retrospect I think it fits perfectly - WWII air-raid alarms, footsteps, crackles, sounds of rusting boats and heavy breathing (?) - under almost beatless electronic music; an overall eerie-cozy atmosphere. 15...

to paraphrase Buick6 deserves a sidethread. I guess it was around before the 80s - but it really came to its own (?) with that guy Pino Palladino in his work with Paul Young and Gary Numan. Others: Fashion - "Fabrique" Annabel Lamb - "Once Bitten" Level 42 - ugh and it's still around - got...

the nice people of ccmixter.org are having a new mix contest. Fully separated audio sources for 3 Crammed Disc recordings are available - see http://ccmixter.org/crammed/ And if you are one of the people on here that produce your own music ccmixter is a great place to get vocals or to get your...

I remember watching this guy Cubillas of Peru in the World Cup when I was a kid - probably one of the best free-kick takers ever. Every time Peru had a free kick outside the box you just waited for that ball to go in the top corner. The top two when you search on him on youtube shows one with...

The Culture Show has been worth watching lately. The last episode for a while tonight - but today's interview with Eno and last week's coup of having Scott Walker on the show are still available as video clips. Scott has a new album out in May.

One to watch for the producers/remixers on here - two of the tracks (no mention of which ones) will be released for free under a Creative Commons licence - . The MLitBoG site doesn't contain the tracks yet though ... (via kottke.org)

Guess you all knew (I didn't until today) - but never say never again, (aversion). I just hope they dare to let it all hang out and that Brian does not leave after the first couple of days,

Read about these in Metro a few weeks ago and The Times had a full piece on the Teddy Girls this weekend. Quote from the Teddy Girl/Girls site I know I'm getting old - but weren't the youth tribes of yesteryear (from teddies, to rockers&mods, punks, goths, new romantics, casuals and so on)...

from the sxsw 2006 site - here there's bound to be some good stuff in there for those with the patience (ie me) to go through it all. I see that Lady Sov and Cadence Weapon as well as good old Chrome w Helios Creed (and even the ol' high-pitcher John Watts of Fischer-Z). BitTorrent client needed.

I know there are at least a couple of people on this list who don't have a TV. I always found this a curious position - I find television a great way to be entertained (sports like the World Cup in football coming up), educated (ie with recent series like the Beeb's series on Folk Britannia...

If the link between War and Oil needed to be clearer - the Senate is to vote on drilling in Alaska as part of a $453 billion defense spending bill. http://www.theworldlink.com/articles/2005/12/20/news/news13.txt

I updated my list of acts singing in made-up languages last night after reading the Enya sometimes sings in "Loxian". It's not that I recommend any of these, I just find it interesting (do they make dictionaries and stuff? Do their kids learn it?) In fact I have never heard Circle from...
