http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/seattle-elects-socialist-city-council-20907644 With the election of a Socialist candidate to the Seattle City Council (and on top of that, the weirdly and seemingly non-evil response of the guy she beat - his assessment of Seattle's relationship with...

http://www.timeout.com/london/film/the-100-best-horror-films-a-contributors-o-r-1 Inspired by this rather excellent compendium of top ten horror films (even Time Out has good ideas sometimes), and also the BFI directors' and critics' top tens, I'd be interested to hear Dissensians' own...

A question and an observation, about the aftermath of the case: How come the protests in the US against the verdict were so small (if the media is to be believed, and except in Chicago, it seems)? I went on a protest yday that started outside the US Embassy in London (fuck that building is...

(copied over from the hispters thread) The unprompted thought popped into my head this morning that 'Hipsters: Scourge or Irrelevance?' would have to have a place in a hypothetical line of Dissensus T-shirts. Any other thoughts (who was it who referred to something somebody had written the...

This kind of follows on from a discussion that we were having on another thread, and the appearance of this article in the Guardian today: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2013/feb/22/four-day-week-less-is-more So gratifying to see at least some coverage of the idea of getting a saner balance...

This album is frickin amazing. Is it a one-off, or has Korea produced anything else this good?: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A6pBIUl_rCY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315"...

I could only find the thread about great photos (a very good thread, mind), but not one about the mechanics of photography. Are there any keen Dissensian photographers? At any rate, there must be many with way more knowledge than I. I'm currently stuck with a decent-enough kit zoom lens...

Don't know much about this label, but loving this band Topaz Rags - reminiscent of both mid-80s Sonic Youth and Dr John's Gris Gris: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/krVMz_MtAK8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Anyone have any further...

Just a thread for internet sites for original gifts (Xmas or otherwise)....will post as soon as i find any!

Okay, we had a best guitar sound thread a while back...how about the synths? I don't have headphones with me at the moment, so can't locate all my favourite ones on youtube, but will get back soon.... Future Music did this exercise a while back, with some interesting results (mostly very...

Getting back into sound design (I'm rubbish, but it interests me), and reading music press articles (eg Sound on Sound) about the greatest tones ever. These tend to be way too obvious, although interesting. So, I was thinking about my own (but the list I have so far is also pretty obvious)...

Right, me first up: have been mulling the possible parallels between capitalism and addiction. From Marx: “As capitalist,” a man comes to have “one single life-impulse, the tendency to create value and surplus-value, to make ... the means of production absorb the greatest possible amount of...

Brilliant piece putting what is happening in context in terms of planning law and general arguments about land as a political commodity: http://conformconsumeobey.blogspot.com/2011/09/not-in-my-back-yard.html#comment-form

Doesn't seem to be a thread celebrating this label, and every so often I go back and rediscover how magical it was at its height. Get physical following it was brilliant, but didn't quite touch the 'wish I'd done that'-ness of Kompakt. Pop as fuck. <iframe width="425" height="349"...

OK guys, put me out of my misery with your tales of woe. Schadenfreude to the max, please! I have accomplished the double whammy very recently (with different people, obviously), so I need some diversions... I shall tell my own story when I have stopped crying and wanking simultaneously.

Any ideas for this? Desperate to find decently-priced tix for the Sinead concerts in Manchester in July, but with little luck. Have tried the following: Ebay Gumtree (both in Ldn and Mcr) Scarletmist Allt hat seatwave stuff that seems to produce crazily expensive tix Any other ideas? thanks...

What experience does anyone have in this area? Went to a seminar thing this weekend by these guys: http://guerillafilm.com/ Well, skipped today to start on my Masters dissertation but yesterday was useful in some ways (tho the guy running it has bad taste in films.... :/ )....

Does anyone know of any good online sources as regards this? I am in the process of contesting the withholding of a deposit by my ex-landlady. I am lucky enough to have a colleague who knows tenancy law a bit, but he's stumped on certain questions (as it is quite complicated/obscure), so any...

well come on, let's step up the lad's education!
