The fact that the first two octets in the IP addresses are the same just means that the machine(s) being used to access the internet connect to the same ISP (in this case it would appear to be Telstra in NZ). If the undisputed truth is a separate individual, his or her IP might have changed all...

Nah, Houston's ESG is an 'Everyday Street Gangsta'.

As far as I can recall, the term 'Indie' came into use before 'Indie Rock' in the UK. Indie was widely used in the mid to late 80s to describe pretty much anything on an independent label. (Wasn't there an 'indie charts' on that ITV/C4 rival to ToTP? I remember it having everything from Fuzzbox...

You occasionally see this on the buses of NYC as well (although it appears to be fairly absent from subways): Early- to mid-teen looking kids with their best screwface on, sitting legs spread wide while listening to unidentifable tinny pieces of looped-music-as-ringtone. The only enjoyment that...

Good to know. Far too often my experiences at parties in NYC (with the exception of a few events like PS1 or occasional once offs in quasi-legal spaces in places like Bushwick) is that a large number of people seem to be there just to be there more than to actually have fun. Being able to hear...

Moving from London to New York - Thoughts? Experiences? I wanted to see what some of the posters on here had to say about living in New York vs. living in London. To those with experience of both cities, were are the comparative pros and cons? What would you miss / anticipate the most about...

Interesting bit from that NY Times article... Ivan Fedorov is apparently the first Russian printer. Coincidence or joke that the NYT didn't pick up on?

They're not technically crooks because they operate through a loophole in Russian copyright law...while it's illegal to sell an unlicensed copy of a CD, the selling of the data on the CD is not properly covered by any current legislation. As a result, allofmp3.com has the same type of license...

It's a little awkward at first, but you do get used to wearing them this way. Make sure that - as well as being flipped over your ears - you have the cord going down the back of your neck. When you do this with the little plastic thing pulled all the way up to create tension on the cords going...

If there isn't one already, we should definitely have a 'slaughtering sacred cows' thread. Probably only a handful of them left at this stage though.

You didn't like that? It's long been one of my favourite things that Shields has had his hand in. Ever increasing slabs of looped feedback and horns over a mutant Prince backbeat. And very loud indeed. What's not to love?

Really liked this. Highly enjoyable and amazing how much work you put into it. Might I suggest that consider putting up an RSS feed or Democracy Player channel? Democracy handles flash video very nicely, allows saving and recommendations, and is easy to use. If you're not too concerned with...

Hmm. Methinks this is likely to go the same way as the entry on DJ Cuntfinger

Bah. I came very close to going to this and only decided at the last minute not to bother. I hate finding out that things I was too slack to go to were really good.

Nope. Was a Fall gig during CMJ week a month or so ago. $25 for the ticket. Had to sit (ie: stand) through three pretty mediocre bands and some tiresome digital audio/video artwank perpetuated by two of the current Fall line-up before Smith and Co came on stage...whereapon they played for just...

You reckon? The only English person I've ever met who admitted that she liked Thatcher was my ex-girlfriend's mother. Of course, I don't tend to hang around with too many Tories. Growing up in Ireland Thatcher was universally despised, which might have coloured my persception of how hated she...

Co-sign on the Sure E2s. They sound great, provide an amazing level of external noise attenuation (which, as pointed out above by mistersloane, allows you to listen to music clearly at non-tinnitus generating volumes) yet don't cost so much that you're reluctant to leave the house with them...

Without ever even walking over to the jukebox.

Pinochet's death - and the reactions that have been reported - has gotten me wondering what the British public reaction is likely to be when Thatcher eventually passes. Will it even be possible for her to be interred in a public place or would she be likely to end up having the most desecrated...

The jukebox and PA in my local in Brooklyn is owned by a company that supplies a wide range of gaming and coin operated equipment to bars around the city. They split the money with the bar, but control what music goes on the jukebox itself. It's not bad stuff - the jukebox guys seem to know...
