I was thinking about this point all the way through the Italy-Australia, and the ones made above (just text in the score, that sort of thing), and while they make a kind of sense, aren't you just damning all competitive sport here? If winning isn't ultimately the point then aren't we just...

You don't fancy Ukraine to beat Swizerland and give Italy a fright in the quarters, Jenks?

Presumably by that logic, the Czechs, Dutch, Ivorians and Mexicans are delighted with how their World Cup turned out, having played some of the best football of the first round...

Who watched Portugal-Holland? My jaw is still on the floor - have FIFA found a ref worse than Graham Poll?

I might just fancy shoving him in the commentary box with Motson then ... ;)

I agree on all this though. An ITV/BBC combination of Allardyce, Venables, Hansen, O'Neill and Leonardo would be the dream.

The BBC commentary has been horrible. John Motson is going push me to murder one of these days. I hate his his smug quoting of pointless statistics, his idiotic analyses, the way he tortuously explains every observation he makes under the delusion that his viewers are watching a football match...

Yeah, but you pay a few dollars for a Rapidshare account for one month and go download crazy. It's not free, no, but seems well worth it. (And I've had no download problems since paying my money.)

Tate - I confess I missed your post first time round, but that's a really good summary of most of the main points about serialism. I'd add an extra point: although 'serialism' and '12-note' (or '12-tone' or 'dodecaphonic') are usually used synonymously, they're not quite. 12-note music is...

DJ DJ? There's a DJ Crap at WFMU.

Thanks to some promptng from Droid I'm starting to put together a new one (don't expect anything for a few months though). Sceptics will be glad to know that there's going to be no shoegaze in this one. However, Mercury Rev hasn't been ruled out... :D

"There was always the danger that the list would veer towards the canonical" ... at the bottom of a list entitled "the 50 greatest music books ever". ROFL doesn't come close.

Curve's a gulity pleasure, so it stays ;) The Feldman/Cage conversation comes from one of three recorded in 1967 for WBAI in New York; there are three conversations, about 40 mins each. They're hosted on Ubuweb and the Other Minds collection at archive.org, but I actually got this one from...

Boom boom! (sorry) Thanks for the comments people, I'm honestly chuffed.

Cheers adruu. Anablog have uploaded this to their servers: http://analogartsensemble.net/blog/Long Shadows.mp3 so should be around for a while after the YSIs expire.

Cheers Droid. :)

I think everyone underplayed the positives from that game. We weren't perfect by any means, but we're getting better - and I'd rather see England at their best against Brazil than against TnT. For the first time in living memory we finished a game strongly. Eriksson's substitutions worked (for...

Maybe it was just the one I was listening to (S Korea Togo I think) the other afternoon. 5Live's 'listen now' thing was just giving me a recorded message.

Edited so the ogg link should work properly... Thanks for the postive feedback. Hope it does the trick Jenks!

This is the first mix I've done, and it's an attempt at mixing with predominantly avant classical tunes (there's also some 90s shoegaze just to break it up a bit). The links are YSI, but I'll re-up if there's a demand after they expire. Props to Droid and Slug, who's Schwantology mix from a...
