don't worry, I'll go see it on your recommendation..... and paul giamatti

dave - where'd you stand on About Schmit. I was very disappointed after Election, it left me cold

I'd agree with much of the first post. Re : tong. worked with him once, putting together a soundtrack for a film. his office consistently lied about what we could license, replacing our choices with tracks 'of the same genre' and then spannered in stacks of irrelvant London/fffr tracks at the...

back when I used to go to readings I caught up with Ellroy several times. always admired how he's turned his life around and focussed his obsessions into something creative: his mother's murder, drug addiction and petty crime. he saw me stealing the books as I queued up to meet him, he was...

actually I'd settle for any of these. Good call. I might even be tempted to pick 1958 so I could intercept Burroughs and Bryon Gysin, warn them of the dangers of experimenting with time :D

east london in the 90s, for the real estate or new york in the late 70s / early 80s, for disco and punk or to time travel back to myself in childhood and discreetly tag along for a few decades, until I get round to the time travel moment, to see what happens. Interesting to watch your own...

Been out of touch with novels and I needed escapism so I just lugged my way through the Pullman trilogy. It's a comfy ride, certainly worth a look if you haven't read any fantasy for decades

stilton if you're eating english food, roquefort if you're not.

Kode9 wrote this on his blog this week - best grime riddim of 2005 is by Shots for Dogzilla's 'Jog On' has anyone else heard it?

One of my bitches fell in love with that outside dick / That outside dick keep them hoes sick, like Uhhh, I like it like that, she working that back / I don't know how to act juvenile - slow-motion

last year I saw thousands of squirrels, i'm sure there'll be even more next year. in the summer they'd skip along the pavement beside you

i'll turn up at a pub, fer-sure.

"You won't get no nookie or the cookies / I'm no rookie" Ciara - Goodies Freeway(or Bleek): "Stick to making beats" JustBlaze: "I'll stick to ya moms, n*gga" Memphis Bleek - Blaze Bleek and Free having thought about it for a minute I could nominate fifty other snippets from RnB and HipHop...

I'd hold back on making money for a couple of years and go to university, use the resources: dark rooms, film equipment, libraries, lectures, computers, grants, and take of the student magazine. You can work on the writing at the same time.

i can't/don't want to stop collecting music. there's always more to find, always something new. and my father was diagnosed OCD so there might be something to what Woebot's suggesting

top of my list is 'Glenn Campbell - Wichita Lineman'. But I'm pushed to think of any more, there's too many - Beach Boys (circa pet sounds), John Cale, so much prog and 70s AOR ('ELO - so fine'), easy-listening (esquivel), cinematic (barry adamson), fusion (marhavisnu orchestra, haha), not...

thanks for the heads up.. there've been some excellent belgian black comedies : 'man bites dog', 'the carriers are waiting', even 'toto the hero' famously ideosyncratic the belgians. you can see it on the streets, almost every house designed different, everyone employs an architect. the...

i don't know how anyone else manages to join the dissensus room on slsk, but I have to chose the create room option and type dissensus (exact caps) to access it

happy to see the end of 2004. 2005 has more promise. it has a ring to it, a sleek futuristic sci-fi feel. Looking forward to a year of dissensus, and wish everyone I've met on these boards the best for the new year.
