    Riot grrl, anyone?

    I looked but couldn't find an existing thread. I have been re-listening to Kathleen Hanna's pre-Le Tigre album, the self-titled 'Julie Ruin' record. It is fantastic. Casio keyboards and guitarrrrrrrs. Easily the equal of the first Le Tigre record, which of course got picked up by hipsters...

    Sartorial Advice

    I thought I'd make this an open thread (pfft) on the matter of clothing, since my particular question is pretty esoteric. In brief: I need a good winter coat. I need the best winter coat ever. For reasons I won't go into right now, I may well end up in Chicago in mid-January, where, if I have...

    Live Earth

    Better bands than the Diana concert, a better cause than the Diana concert, and most importantly of all (lol) I've written a couple of related pieces on bilingual eco-site chinadialogue.net about climate change and the music industry...

    BAD PUNS: Breaking News, Lies, Gossip, etc

    Inspired by the Ace of Bass puns in the 'Dub Scale' thread. Post your punning shop names (e.g. Hair Apparent - barbers, Cheeses of Nazareth - self explanatory though I think apocryphal), anecdotal puns, or any other pun-related news. Ahem. Here's a web page that resulted from a pub discussion...

    Grime and the media

    i was going to keep this discussion going in the trim thread, but there are already enough tangents in there i reckon, and this is a subject pretty close to my heart. the story so far, to crudely summarise: logan says 'eff the guardian', elgato says 'is that the best attitude to take to the...

    Reggaeton

    I need some help. I have like two or three compilation albums (including the one Gabriel and Gervase did the sleeve for - that was a pleasant surprise), but I need more. And I don't know where to start, or where to find it. I know I like this guy a lot - Jimmy Bad Boy - he's really poppy and...

    Wasp performs roach-brain-surgery to make zombie slave-roaches

    Sorry if you know this story already, but if you don't you should, and if you do it bears repeating. Great dinner party fodder. Copied and pasted from here. Ampulex compressa is a wasp that has evolved to tackle roaches, insert a stinger into their brains and disable their escape reflexes...
