Rambler! A fellow oboist! Well I never....as proper middle-class girly swot, I happen to be the holder of: Grade 8 oboe Grade 7 piano Grade 6 violin Grade 5 music theory Various grades on recorders I can also play the cor anglais, flute (not very well), and used to play xylophone in my local...

Agreed - century of self one of the only documentaries on tv you're ever likely to want to watch again. Most have less than one thesis that they bash you over the head with until the will to think has left the room. I have played bits of the Curtis to various groups of students...

And the stuff he says about girls in the interview is just brilliant - some dubstep night the other week in the Elephant and Castle was just too damn blokish - big furry hoods pulled up, shuffling about, no girls on the floor, dull beats, just dead...the samples of single lines of female vocals...

listening to the album today - it's great - it's almost 'post-hearing'...like catching vague sounds of a rave across town whilst slowly drowning in the Thames...k-punk is right - it just does sound like south London, from the seagulls to the reverberating car stereos to the mad muttering of...

Is done...no Kant, tho: http://ferriteloveconnection.blogspot.com/2006/04/bondi-blitzkreig.html

All I know is that I really, really want to go there. You are a lucky fink. Bring me back a furry hat or a set of Russian Dolls, willya?

I did! yep, a few weeks ago - and very much appreciated it is too. I plan a review of course - but like everything I try and write, the hideous desire to perfect everything makes it take forever and ever...but as we're on holiday perhaps I'll do it this weekend, in between writing (hopefully!)...

I precisely don't want depth/characterisation, never have, never will. You know full well that this is a badly-aimed shot at an extinct species...! The idea that contemporary film is a choice between grumpy leftists complaining about the portrayal of women, or ceding to (an already outdated)...

Both loathsome IMHO! Dragged to see them both by various cynical sentimentalists - second worst than first, though only by virtue of its additional appallingly bad sci-fi elements, tackily acted and severely daft. Without doubt I lack a 'soul' or something, but the endless...

funny, my first 'proper' boyfriend (lovely euphemism) declared himself gay a few months after we split up - frankly I should have noticed; the giant collection of toiletries, the way he'd always wonder what his male friends would think of his hair if he dyed it, the way he'd scrub his hands...

glad you've remembered! About two years ago, after a very sad thing happened, I listened to Masses, Passions & Requiems for about 8-10 hours a day, and completely stopped listening to any new music whatsoever. Now I listen to Laibach/noise/Avril Lavigne(!)/Kate Bush/electronic stuff about 20...

ok! all understood, reckon. On-topic then, have definitely had a 'change of heart' re several things of late: - early Kate Bush (used to loathe the queaky-kookiness of it all, but realise this was to dislike the original at the hands of its imitators, Tori Amos et. al. who were unfortunately...

Dunno what you mean 'pack thing' - I was speaking for myself. Confucius's recent comments about class, women, AIDS, etc. have irritated me, possibly far too much, let's say, but nevertheless...I can't see how the attacks have been personal either - I don't know anything about the guy beyond what...

Do you really mean it?! O frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay!

Alright. Time to come clean - Just who is employing Confucius to disseminate these seemingly f-ing endless ingots of unreason? It simply isn't possible for one person to be so systematically irritating on every single topic in the entire universe. Something suspicious is afoot.... I suspect...

that's not a museum! unless to the broken dreams of a grey utopia...

Might I just humbly suggest that whatever it is that Confucius is doing with his words, it probably isn't 'Marxist analysis'?

I look forward to the dissensus thread in which someone says something completely indefensible, and then everyone apologises to them for being 'mean'. Oh, wait....

Raul Hilberg estimates that over 800,000 died from "Ghettoization and general privation;" and 1,400,000 who were killed in "Open-air shootings" during the Holocaust (according to this write up) - the point the Lanzmann film makes (and his Sobibor documentary) is to do with the absolute...

You disagree that that's what Lanzmann's film shows, or you disagree that Nazi violence took other forms other than the 'technological'?
