The Thing - free jazz with a bit of genre-bending attitude Those bass strings are STRONG Footage of the trio with Neneh Cherry, Thurston Moore, Joe McPhee is also on YouTube. Quite like this one (Groove Armada track, still it's funky):

New blog from Curtis on the "terryfying gangs of England" with BBC archive footage from 1969. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2011/08/the_terrifying_gangs_of_englan.html The Hell's Angels footage one is mostly a laugh (although skins claiming these are not "real" Angels, those patches...

on clothes: - get a good smart/casual jacket ("blazer"): it goes with both "proper" clothes and jeans/tees-combo and you look OK in most environments without looking like a twerp (go to the sales, at the fag end of them you might be able to pick up a 300 quid jacket for 30 quid) - Pique shirts...

Vivian Maier http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/ doing the rounds now. guy picks up boxes of negatives containing 1000s of negatives by late unknown Vivian Maier "From what they knew of her, they say she was a very "keep your distance from me" type of person but was also outspoken. She loved...

Swedish as her fellow "leave me alone" ladies (Greta Garbo, Agneta Fältskog).

Shoegaze, nu-gaze - is it wrong to like the bands that are now (well - all these three have been going for a few years) looking back to MBV? They probably don't add that much to the genre, the studied Warhol-coolness might be too studied and all - but I still find that I like em: Autolux...

Royksopp surely belongs in this thread (ft Lykky Li, Karin Dreijer, Robyn - Scandies do like to work with each other), <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aRy8oG-6Kxc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Lindstrom&Prince Thomas...

http://www.tuaw.com/2010/11/10/synth-fans-rejoice-rebirth-for-ipad-now-available/ 15$ seems like a steal (the price of the iPad itself does not yet though) ReBirth was an application initially created for Mac back in late 1996, and emulated two Roland TB-303 synthesizers, a Roland TR-808 drum...

http://www.arthurmag.com/2007/12/05/willima-burroughs-onled-zeppelin/ "We discussed the possibility of synthesizing rock music with some of the older forms of trance music that have been developed over centuries to produce powerful, sometimes hypnotic effects on the audience."

I think there is one good reason to jailbreak: SBSettings: reach all the important on/off toggles with just a swipe over the top (instead of going through all the settings). Rotation lock (not shown on this pic) and wifi on/off are the ones I use all the time Also using Typophone4 to get a...

Here's a few from the Sunday Times letters section (so The Times must have had a piece on this) Mr Butcher - dentist Mr Chissell - surgeon Miss Taylor - crafts (sewing) teacher Miss Southern - geography teacher Mr Payne - dentist Linda Musika - ballet teacher Fillingham - dentist Feltwell -...

David Crosby's 1971 solo album " If I Could Only Remember My Name" as recommended by no other than the Vatican :slanted: Don't let that put you off though, Garcia's steel on "Laughing" is worth the entrance fee alone.

Magazines are holding up quite well me thinks. I was going to compare it to vinyl culture in music, but I think mags are doing a lot better? Reading and looking at photos/artworks just works better on paper. http://magculture.com/blog/ is a good one to follow.

South as in South London that is. They were good, and I look forward to nippy Koreans versus Argentina's wing-backs. One who is 32 (Heinze) and one who just cannot defend - Gutierrez? Sure he might be good on the offense. But it's not like Argentina need MORE options up front. Their wing backs...

Is there a thread with "fortunate names"? Where the name fits the job just perfectly. Here's Grace White - paper conservator http://www.inklingmagazine.com/articles/qa-grace-white/ Good, but not perfect, there must be better.

"It all comes down to boring anti-sensualist wankers who hate people making an effort. Fuck 'em!" You are right (after all I did get those shoes) and apologies. No offence meant though (but I still find some of those pics funny). But this should go in the bin, just like those chav-hate sites.

Going to a gallery at least once a week: if you are in London try and make it to the White Cube by Picadilly Circus/Green Park next week to catch Cerith Wyn Evans S=U=P=E=R=S=T=R=U=C=T=U=R=E before it's too late http://www.whitecube.com/exhibitions/wyn%20evans/ The title is silly, the two other...

Oliver Spencer for Topman, got myself some brown ones as I am sick of wearing trainers and don't like "real" shoes so desert boots a good compromise. 85 quid, Oliver Spencer's own ones are 240 quid and way out of my league, so a trip to Hipster Palace undertaken. Talking of hipsters, this is...
