Got any favourites?

I have a ton of records from this era, say the early 2000s, before Dubstep. Do you think like I do there was more mileage to this music? Or was it the death knell of Drum and Bass? I speak to some people who don't like hardcore after 92 because there was too much Jungle. I can't see them...

I've always found these useful where attempts to read fail. That one is Blade Runner-eqsue is it not? It's Lacan. And I liked Heidegger for a while, got into him more through reading about Terrence Malick.

I went to House of God a lot in the early 2000s and did not know what I was hearing. Is he still a great DJ?

I like point and click adventure games but not many get made. A few do... I've played Technobabylon, Gemini Rue, Thimbleweed Park and maybe a couple of others. But I'm still waiting for the next Broken Sword instalment. Those games I've listed take me back to the days of Beneath a Steel Sky...

Anyone know it? Also feel like a brick has hit your head every time you go there? :LOL:

I have this little book, bought it from the Touch Music site, and have been reading it today. To me this seems like a romantic polemic against technology, but, is he right? Have we become overpowered and lost something due to technology or do you take a more positive view? continued...

Just a few that either make me chuckle or stuck out to me when reading. John Le Carre - The Pigeon Tunnel. Rudyard Kipling - The Man Who Would Be King From a Salinger Short Story - I forget which Phillip. Roth - Portnoy's Complaint Murakami - Men Without Women EL Doctorow -...

Writer of Wild At Heart. The Sailor and Lulu stories. Being a Lynch fan I'm bound to take interest. I've read a few of his books, or at least tried to, they're quite heavy reading, dialogue heavy. Only other writer I know of that compares is Harry Crews but from what I can tell Crews is better...

Anyone into fishing? Or maybe just have a garden pond? I only have 3 goldfish in my pond but love fishing.

They way I tend to go with a lot of old school psychology is to not read it in detail but pick up on the concepts and fill in the blanks myself. For example, I think Carl Jung is a genius without having read anything directly from him One of the concepts I'm interested in is the...

Not another house thread you might say, but I know nothing about house music. I know what I like though, and quite often get drawn to 'lofi' house music of various sorts. Stephan Laubner is one of my favourite producers but he seems to not get many listens on youtube if that's any judge of his...

Politics is nasty at the moment, I don’t think there’s any denying it. People are losing friends because of which side of politics they’re on. Problem is I’ve found, other than my facebook feed which is majority left wing, other forums I’ve posted on are majority right wing. They seem to have...

I go into a semi comatose state on winter evenings, usually sticking a film on at about 8 o'clock. The short running times of film noir mean I'm comfortably asleep by the end of them. There's loads in public domain on youtube and I'm addicted to them. It's getting to be that time of year again...

What's the verdict on this kind of techno? Call it bedroom techno / after hours techno. Basically mellow and ambient techno. Most of the tracks I know are from the 90s and it's all I really listen to these days. This is one favourite, the two note pad in this is reminiscent of being outside of...

I hope not too out of place as not often I'm in bearded marxist mode, but when it comes to sex and marxism it seems Wilhelm Reich beat a lot of people to it. Even if he was wrong on a lot of things, the nuclear family for one, but he was used as a symbol of protest and got checked out by the...

From my brief time here I've seen other top 100 tracks. It's good once you reach a certain age to try to finalise somethings as a list. If I do it ten at a time... what do you think to these? Feel free to do your own. 100. Lowrell - Mellow, Mellow, Right On 99. John Williams - The Long Goodbye...
