I just hope what you guys are not saying is that the lower paid (I have trouble with this concept of "low skilled" - I've had middle-class managers who could have been classified as "hardly skilled") don't make much money because they don't work hard, when in fact they work the hardest of...

I'm definitely no expert but Perdido St Station feels right. How about the Moorcock's Oswald Bastable novels? Do Steampunk novels have to relate to Computer Technology? Funny though, I only just got The Difference Engine last week...

Whoa.. I just read the blurbs for this on Amazon - right up my alley. If a local bookshop has it I'll get it next week, otherwise it'll be a little while longer yet before I can I get it online on my card..

I never thought about that! It's Akira set in Neo-London... Have you guys seen this site? I found a couple of Fletcher Hanks episodes there: Fantomah and Stardust. Nutty stuff! I've got to get that anthology now... I also found a Space Smith episode archived here. I hadn't heard of Paul...

AIG bail-out Just goes to show: Socialism has always existed - for the fortunate few...

But do the less skilled actually work less? Have you worked in a factory? Or a shop or a bar? Do you think your butcher would agree with your statement? How about his or her employees? How about temps, who get paid a tiny bit more but can't pay their bills if they want to take a break or get...

It seems that we're back onto this argument/discussion about the Labour Theory of Value, which I have to admit mystifies and bores me: how does this relate to the Class System or Imperialism or the industrial meat-grinder we still call War. Aren't these infinitely more interesting topics? What...

UFO CRASH NEAR NEEDLES, CA. SUSPICIOUS MILITARY ACTIVITY. DATE: 5-14-08

I might be going off on a tangent here but I don't see how any "debunking" of the Labour Theory of Value is supposed to affect the validity or otherwise of being for or against Capitalism, by which I mean the dominant social system that exists today however you'd like to call it. Does Arthur...

I can't remember who recommended this one (thanks!) but I've been following the Freak Angels web-comic for a while now. Really good. Thanks for the tip re Perry Bible Fellowship, Mr Tea. That's brilliant. It's so hard to pick a favourite..

Segues nicely into this one. Ministry - I Wanted To Tell Her <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425"...

What's going on here? Is everyone leaving? Have I missed something like the Great Dissensus Flame War of 2008... :( Oh yeah, capitalism rulez! Like Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, Dick Cheney and all the other Romans... WTF?? :confused:

I've started reading the Iain M. Banks Culture novels after all the recommendations here and elsewhere. I really enjoyed the first two, Consider Phlebas and The Player of Games, but I finished Use of Weapons today and I've got to admit I wasn't as impressed: he writes beautifully but I just felt...

Yeah I have to agree. I found it a bit unsatisfying too. The cinematography was great, the scenery was beautiful, the music just right, Ledger was great but I dunno... The moral/politcal themes also made me go hmm... There's some interesting points made in the comments to this post (nb...

Nice one. I found this a while back Haruomi Hosono - Video Game Music XEVIOUS BGM: I've got that Lucky Kitchen compilation - some nice stuff there. I downloaded this a few years ago - very much on the video game tip Belle Isle Raceway by Mesu Kasumai

Has this guy's channel been posted yet? http://youtube.com/user/aseagris My favourite clip from it so far: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...

Evidence for the prosecution, perhaps? :) It's not quite trance though, is it? Some early `90s Australian trance from the Psy-Harmonics label that I used to dig: Are you guys talking about that Aril Brikha track called 'Berghain' on Kompakt? That's a pretty sweet track.

Awesome Yacht Rock / House cross-over: MIchael McDonald All We Got (It's Not Enough) Extended Dance Mix House Remix (couldn't decide which to post)

That Tres Demented "Shez Satan" EP worked for me. That Paperclip People CDEP "4 My Peepz"was also great but that was a while ago...

Someone must have done this one already... S.O.S Band - Just Be Good To Me <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425"...
