    80's R'n'B/Electro-soul

    Best Dissensus thread ever!! I'm gonna be mining this one for a while.. I practically grew up on this music - first club experiences etc & I'm not that old, you know... It's true what they say: you don't miss something till it's long gone... :cool:

    Tom Cruise scientology video

    After reading this bit of news I googled "anonymous scientology " and found this: <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"...

    Tom Cruise scientology video

    Apparently this is standard mind control procedure for most cults, eg. Skull & Bones (all US frat clubs? dunno) Yeah what's up with Holmes? She used to look kinda hot... Now she looks like some tragic spinster..

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    OK to continue on the techno tip, I've got the relatively recentish Pungtang EP/reissue from Carl Craig; I'm trying to enjoy it but the record seems to be skipping all over the place. Questions: - is this some clever release with two tracks running parallel etc like some (one?) of the Jeff...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Inland Empire is every bit as good as people say it is.

    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    I finally got around to reading Kingdom Come and I think of all the comments on Ballard's attitude to violence etc, while I already agreed with everyone else's posts in this thread, I now think mine is possibly the least convincing... DannyL: Yeah I get the feeling though that it's not just...

    Suggest a Book for the dissensus book club!

    I might be interested in this if I can find the time etc. I've had The Bros Karamzov sitting next to my bed for about 6 months now. I'm also a Moby Dick, Pynchon and Henry James virgin so I'd be up for that too. Maybe a short novel of some kind would be best to start off, get us warmed up...

    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    I'm not sure that's it either. Ballard is hugely influenced by the surrealist and dadaism - the iconoclastic (whatever shatters icons or preconceived ideals etc) and I think Cocaine Nights reflects this. I read it as saying basically this society sucks. Look around: its elite gather all the...

    Seefeel - will I like them?

    I love Quique - what the others said. Lovely stuff. I wish I bought Polyfusia when I had the chance. What do you guys think of the Scala stuff some of the Seefeel guys did on Touch? I've got the "Compass Heart" CD but not sure what to make of it. I might give it another listen now. EDIT: yeah...

    Scrap the internet, start over?

    I just saw this article. Any thoughts? Is this the thin edge of the wedge? Quotes: Although it has already taken nearly four decades to get this far in building the internet, some university researchers with the US federal government's blessing want to scrap all that and start over. The idea...

    Pan Sonic

    Nah he released another Ø album year or two ago called Kantamoinen. I like it. More on an ambient tip in a Fax-ish kind of way.

    Kurt Vonnegut RIP

    Yeah that's bad news - there goes another original.

    what are you reading now?

    I thought it was about, if anything, the class system, the royal family, England etc: ie. all these rules and systems that no one really needs but have to be followed for the sake of formality and the maintenance of the status quo. Titus Alone is the last one which describes his adventures in...

    Borat

    Ah geez... :rolleyes: This is like saying people only like music so that they can get along... Oh and people only like going to clubs/parties to fall into a trance to the whatever the DJ is playing regardless of content. OK maybe that's true for some people but come on... How many ways can...
