    Despite TV

    This is probably as futile as attempting to compile a definitive Billy Childish discography, but on the off-chance...does anybody have a clue where I might be able to obtain a list of complete Despite TV video productions? There's a site called Spectacle Productions that has a list of DTV...

    Firefox query driving me nuts

    Right, I've got Safari and Firefox installed on OSX Leopard. Firefox is better for handling Flash sites. Only problem is my Firefox (3.6.3, latest version) seems to be really temperamental - some days it works fine, others I just get a blank page, with the message 'Done' and typing in direct...

    PC laptop recommendations

    I wanna get a PC laptop with Windows 7 - any recommendations? The cheaper the better, but would need enough power for smooth web surfing, downloading, InDesign CS4 and iTunes, etc. I've mainly used Mac in the past, so any hints or tips would be appreciated - cheers.

    Hey, substitute Yellow Pages people - does anyone know anywhere in London (pref North or Central) recommended for leather jacket repairs at all? Any advice or recommendations much appreciated...

    Best Oi! band

    Seeing as nobody else can be bothered.... Who's your favourite prole pantomime troupe? I forgot Cock Sparrer, my bad.

    Which 90s pop diva would you like to be your executioner?

    Say you've got a violent death fetish where you'd hit the ultimate orgasm should any 90s pop diva hang or garotte(or shoot, if you're a drip) you in a 15th century show trial in...Iran. Who would you pick?

    Convince Me Why I Should Like Frank Zappa

    Every now and then, somebody reckons I should check out Frank Zappa. This is normally after we've talked about bands or music or lyrics we like and they seem convinced I'll like it. Only problem is, I think everything I've heard by him is boring, I just can't get into it and I find it draining...

    Richard Brautigan - any good?

    I've never read any of his stuff, but the plot to "The Abortion" sounds interesting and I'm considering buying it cheap online. Does anyone here recommend him? Or think I should save my money? etc

    Woofah.com

    I keep forgetting you have to stick 'mag' in the URL...but try entering this. Well, it made me grin. Oh, please yourselves.

    Throwing Muses

    After the incredibly successful Monochrome Set thread - any Throwing Muses fans on here? Their first LP and especially "The Real Ramona" LP are pretty fucking faultless. Didn't really like Belly or Kristin Hersh's solo stuff but they pissed all over Nirvana, Mudhoney and Soundgarden (which...

    The Monochrome Set (feel free to derail)

    I'm one of the miniscule minority on this planet who dig The Monochrome Set, or their early stuff at least. Wasn't too keen on anything after 1980 ("Jacob's Ladder" sounds hideous and dated) but I think "Alphaville", "Eine Symphonie des Grauens", "405 Lines", "Monochrome Set" and "Strange...

    Ouija boards

    Anyone here played one? Any interesting stories/observations? Even if they're brazen lies? I'm interested in them from a human dynamic - obviously people like me cheat, given the right conditions. But could there be some sort of auto-subconscious movement involved, spelling out certain...

    Languages

    Apart from a tiny bit of German, the first verse of the Irish national anthem and some surreal French chat-up phrases ("Tu est mon chat, je mange le tapis pour vous"), I only speak, read and comprehend English. Any bi/multilinguists here? Any advice on good courses, learning tips? Is it a...

    Rock Against Racism '08

    Anyone here going? I'm thinking of heading down there. Might run into the odd cunt from Respect or the SWP, but some of the acts actually seem alright

    How long does it take...

    For an item posted for the UK to get to an address in Germany? Anyone got an inkling, even if it is a rough estimate? I've tried to find this info on the website of our once-glorious Post Office, but there's sweet FA.

    PE teachers = CUNTS

    Aren't they just the lowest form of life? Braindead beery army rejects. We had one who liked Northern Soul, which is why I think Northern Soul is shit and only wankers listen to it. He used to lock me and a couple of cronies in the music room (a boiler room) and make us write pointless essays...

    Experimental films - ID?

    1) It's black and white. A woman or man (can't remember now) wakes up and starts running around a house chasing a shadow figure, over weird violin noises. When they catch up with the figure the first scene's replayed. Eventually, they grab the figure's hood back, revealing a mirror, and smash it...

    Overambitious Amazon chancers

    Here's a thread to celebrate the current trend among Amazon sellers - charging prices so fucking loopy that they surely can't expect anyone to pay them I nominate this as the winner. I've actually got this and it's OK, if you like clanging Fall-type pop, but price-wise, check it out An old...
