    what ails you?

    well, i had a no-solids diet for 10 days (for actual medical reasons as opposed to on a whim) and felt dreadful, but i may lack the power of positive thinking that confucius has such an abundance of. did homo erectus have a juice diet as well?

    Plagiarism!

    i know he agrees with you luka he agreed with hitler as well :p pound is actually a good example, cos is if the cantos aren't 'regurgitation' i don't know what is- a collection of obscure references and other people's ideas which frequently he hasn't even bothered to translate out of the latin...

    Plagiarism!

    sure, university is not as conducive to original thought but neither is the world outside its confines. the idea that you have to have spent some time writing 6th form poetry in order to be qualified to write about ezra pound is just ludicrous. yes but then if you're not an idiot you can go...

    best building in london?

    and near to that is this utterly ludicrous statue (in, ah, 'millenium quay') of tsar peter the great, who has for some reason an elbow bigger than his head and is flanked by a dwarf covered in giant flies

    best building in london?

    the <a href="http://www.open2.net/modernity/3_6.htm">pioneer health centre</a> was a bit depressing visiting the other day- it's now a gated community, following the rule that any given area in london can become luxury bloody flats. but i was reminded in the week of the true aceness of the...

    best building in london?

    brilliant, brilliant posts IT-- and nice defence of your manor, though there'll still be too much faux-pine there for my taste. still there is that mentalist school. i guess what is fun about millenium village is that it takes ikeaness to a truly demented, megalomanaical conclusion, viz-

    a very good summer record isn't it... sometimes similar though new age tendencies alert is ashra's 'correlations' which has nice gottsching synth-guitar prettiness, sometimes oddly evocative of daft punk. can be found v cheap as well

    best building in london?

    i was on a bus stuck in fleet st yesterday which meant i got to admire at length the two sides of 1930s brit architecture--functionalist, mendelsohn-esque as in the Express building and fun fascist deco travesty for the Telegraph boringly both are now owned by some bank or other, and aren't...

    best building in london?

    oh i like that place. rips off the erechtheion in athens but the grime adds to the effect i think. today i went down to colonel seifert's (of centre point fame) drapers gardens, which is about to be knocked down--very desolate and ballardian, crumbling masonry everywhere...took some pics...

    Scott Walker

    ha! his lyrics really are remarkable, on Tilt i love the combination of what seems like cut-up bulletins of 20th century horror with hilarious non-sequiteurs like 'the good news is there is no news' and of course 'lemon bloody cola'. thanks a lot for that link. am going to look around for...

    Scott Walker

    I note we are missing a Scott thread. So here is the space where people can, if they like, argue the cases of winsome-walker bros Scott vs Bergman Scott vs Alcoholic Country Scott vs Nite Flights/post-punk Scott vs 'torture chamber music' Scott. And more to the point where people can discuss...
