I love this one - science explained by someone who doesn't understand science:

Penderecki did a 'Devils of Loudon', but it's a bit iffy - OK, but quite laboured. (And not much like Threnody etc). Bluebeard's Castle seconded.

I think Gordon's screwed up too. Or someone has, somewhere: every report I've read states pretty clearly that by scrapping the 10% rate (that he introduced himself, to much great fanfare only 7 years ago), Brown is cheekily making the poor pay for the 2p cut of the basic rate of tax. Now, while...

Always see a few at Reading too, but Crewe is the real spot. Always loads at the end of the platform there, even in the freezing cold. Hardcore!

Sorry Paul, got to be Eden, although it's his MC who truly rules the dance. :cool:

The Guardian recently dug up an old, unpublished interview with them from 1973 that's worth a read. http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/visualart/story/0,,2004752,00.html

When I was enduring a miserable time as an Englishman in Australia in December, a regular refrain from Aussies was "the problem with English cricket is that there's no infrastructure"; ie - no system that nurtures talent and brings it to the fore. Well, Australia lose/rest a few key players...

Last summer allofmp3 was big news because it was being used as a reason to keep Russia out of the WTO. (NY Times from last June) That's probably the reason all the major credit cards have dropped their association. This recent ruling (last few days, in fact) is not about allofmp3 as such, but...

Yeah, the Crouch End shop's there, but it's just a replacement for the second-hand record shop that was there before it; so good for him, but it's not really an expansion of the number of shops around.

I'm guessing, mms, you also probably wouldn't feel it necessary to sell unlicensed medicines, fraudulently pose as a medical doctor, bully people, or bring respectable science into disrepute at the same time...

Lichen, Gabriel - you do know this is the woman who recommends eating blue-green algae because the chlorophyll it contains is a powerful oxygenator? (Despite the fact that there's not much light inside your stomach...). She's a complete fraud.

Mushroom picking ... with John Cage

No one else spot the huge anti Europe spin too, just as Norway, France and others are putting together cases to declare iTunes illegal? If Jobs is talking about removing DRM from iTunes, then great, but he should remember that it's iTunes that forces Fairplay onto labels (hence why you can get...

Working through a 1.5GB backlog of Vital Weekly, Sigtronica and Subvert Central podcasts...

Gott in Himmel!

Current-ish (late 80s onwards), but readily available. If you go to the new Albion website I think most of their CDs have at least one (good length) sound sample, well worth a browse. Quite a few of their things are available on eMusic too, which is where I get my fix. Basinski I'm sure you...

The File - Timothy Garton Ash In which TGA retrives the file the Stasi used to have on him in the 80s, and tracks down the people who were informing on him, comparing his notes with theirs. Really outstanding memoir/personal history that becomes an essay on memory. A Recherche du temps perdu...

The atmospherics remind me of things off the New Albion label - Deep Listening Band, Ingram Marshall, that sort of thing. Maybe also William Basinski with the crackly stuff?

Gave this a first listen yesterday - the Cluster-Marvin Gaye sequence is particularly nice.

Looks like another classic. :D
