    The End of Blair

    So it's done. What next? Is Brown going to shake things up, especially considering US environmental policy and the fact that half of England appears to have drowned this week. What of the wars? For me Brown is a bit of a unknown quantity, he could surprise his country and do what they hated...

    prejudices

    If you go back further than the Pistols to Television etc, it was about a real dislike for what had happened to rock. Garage rose as people got pissed off with the way the jungle scene had gone, etc etc. Micheal Jackson only came into his own after ditiching the Jacksons. Hate, complacency and...

    Sir Salman Rushdie

    That's what the whole planet has been doing for centuries though right? You're right, it's bullshit, and that's exactly why he should get a knighthood.

    Sopranos

    Good piece. I agree with you crackerjack, there is still much work to do on the goodie/baddie distinction made in Hollywood. The Sopranos helped a lot with that I think, as did shows like Aeon flux.

    Sopranos

    Anybody see the final episode? Not to spoil it for anyone, the last episode took a beating in the press, but I thought it was incredible, perhaps the only way the series could have ended. And someone should get an emmy for "Best Use of a Record by Journey".

    Todd Terry

    For proof that turds can be polished very well indeed in you try hard enough, see Todd Terry's remix of 'Havana' by Kenny G. Both the original and dub mixes were monster monster UK garage tunes back in the day. Oh, and Lissajou, that mix is great.

    Foundations looks great. There was another a few years back called Maestro.

    Where have the UFOs gone?

    That sounds really cool, would love to have seen it. I remember someone in the UK jamming the TV signal during 'The Word' once, or some such show.

    Where have the UFOs gone?

    Yeah... But in a pink New Era, and flying through space.

    Where have the UFOs gone?

    I read a comment on Flickr from some guy who was some kind of expert who said he thought they were fake. He used a lot of big words like 'vector shaping tool', so I was pretty convinced he knew what he was talking about. And yeah, the flying tea strainer is basically visual drum and bass...

    Where have the UFOs gone?

    This is pretty cool, whatever it is. These might be some of the clearest UFO pictures ever taken: http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1252&category=Environment I for one, welcome our new tea-strainer shaped dark overlords... Also - the same thing was seen here...

    Running

    Good shoes make all the difference. There is a shop in Temple called Run and Become - they make you run up and down the street outside and observe how you run, which part of your foot you land on etc. and prescribe the best running shoes for the job. It sounds a bit much but it works. They have...

    Poisonous Paragraphs

    I was talking about the state of hip hop and used this quote: “I used to learn from the hip-hop I grew up on. It was filled with uplifting messages for the youth and had more than enough variety and artistic merit that you couldn't possibly generalize or pigeonhole it into being one monolithic...
