    Stella - evil in a can?

    When we moved into our current flat about 7 years ago we often played host to Mr Artois in his glorious "Six for Five" incarnation. But as time passed I just found it headache-inducing and began to pick up hints of a deeply sinister metallic flavour in it. So I knocked it on the head and got...

    recommend me a wireless router for macs

    Any tips? Currently using a netgear wired router for two Macs in the same room. I am being confined to a cupboard at the other end of the flat, so we need a wireless thingy, but it's all voodoo to me. This looks nice and shiny: But will it be a case of magic beans for my hard earned cattle?

    BOOK ID help. Modern experimental music book - 80s

    OK I got this one out of the library as a teenager. So, 1980s. Can't remember much about it but it had a load of stuff about Laurie Anderson in it, including some cool stuff about her using a violin bow with magnetic tape instead of a string - she'd drag it across a tape head, etc. It had a...

    New Woebot podcast

    Did anyone else get this? Always ahead of the game, isn't he? After Woebot.tv it seems like Matt's new venture is sending people short podcasts direct to their mobiles! I received the first installment today around lunchtime. It's about 2 or 3 minutes long so I had a listen whilst munching my...

    Why I hate my parents' generation.

    They fuck you up, etc. WARNING: Grotesque generalisations follow. THE CASE AGAINST 1) When I was gestating in the late 60s, they were all off having free love and great drugs. The economy was bloody great, they had the welfare state on tap. 2) When I was entering my teens in the mid 80s...

    "Indie" / 7 ages of rock

    Predictably depressing that "indie" would be the culmination of this UK TV series. I remember seeing my first copy of Sounds or the NME in the mid-80s and being very confused about the word "indie" - I assumed it meant "Indian", but then there were all these really weird band names like...

    Modern d'n'b is rubbish - tune ID and a moan from an old man

    I went raving in Eindhoven in Holland last weekend and the best option for everyone seemed to be a drum 'n' bass night. It's been about 8 years since I last paid any attention to drum 'n' bass other than a bit of ragga jungle and breakcore. It's all very... flat... these days, isn't it? Very...

    recommend me an mp3 player

    I think what I want is something with at least 4gigs, with a display, that is easy to use. don't need or want to watch videos on it. Preferably under a hundred quid. Will probably be using it with itunes but am guessing there is better stuff available than an ipod. (I might start another...
