    anyone know these guys? saw them at the Nickelsdorf festival weekend before last - pretty awesome. any band to stand out at all amongst the constant barrage of heavy hitters from Barry Guy Orchestra to Misha Mengelberg to Evan Parker's new quartet has to be note-worthy. perfect post-kraut...

    prejudices

    isn't it annoying when people refuse to recognize the greatness of an artist like Michael Jackson? i mean, all personal preferences aside, and forget about all the shit that's happened since, how can any music lover not see that Thriller is timeless and perfect? again, personal preferences...

    music/body -- functions

    hang-overs ---- mostly indian classical music. and the rare kind which does not build into a climax of sorts. for instance some Ali Akbar Khan raggas are mellow all the way through. the warm tones and organic structures are very nice for a hurting head. sometimes western "ambient" music but...

    are brits the weirdest euros?

    are brits the most unique euros? taking into account my very brief stay on this continent, and very much limited experience of people -- been hanging out with Italians and Germans mostly (and have been friends with Frenchies and Czechs, etc. etc., in the past) -- it seems to me that the english...

    the Meat Thread

    agreed. the sheer amount is just disgusting. plus bad for all parties involved: humans, animals, earth. a very good NY Times cover story which thoroughly analyses the issue from all angles, including Animal Rights, Environmentalism, Religion, Morality, Economics, etc. and the conclusion he...
