It's from Government Cheese, cheap (cheaper than cheddar) processed cheese that was (at least, I don't think it is anymore?) distributed to people on welfare in the US during the 80s and 90s. The same term was later used to refer to cash and food stamp welfare payments as well, and eventually...

Ah, I see what you're doing here now. Took a few seconds...

And apparently 'In My Spoon' is all about...wait...I think I'm starting to see a pattern... I almost loved the Lemonheads circa Lick and Lovey, mainly due to their being the then All Time Favorite Band of a particular girl. Lost interest soon after that but still have a soft spot for one or two...

Agreed 100% actually...shoulda made it clearer was joking with that. What really bothers me (and you hit on this with the 'pre-9/11' bit) is the extent to which things have reached a point where a lot of people are not as outraged as they used to be about their activities being monitored by...

I remember seeing a list of Carnivore keywords that an aspiring hax0r type I knew years ago used to embed in the body of his emails. The idea was that, if every email contained references to bomb making, cocaine smuggling and meth lab construction, the volume of data that required human analysis...

Isn't bloodclaat it also used to add emphasis? As in "I don't fucking believe it." Maybe that's more of a UK usage?

Heh. Found this gem of a quote while clicking around Wikipedia: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooliganism

I'm a big fan of the book Among The Thugs by Bill Buford: An American writer (who later edited Granta and the literary pages of the New Yorker), he became facinated with hooligan culture while studying in the UK and ended up following the 'Inter City Jibbers' to various Man U and England...

Love this Protest Warrior t-shirt: While there's no doubt that the Protest Warrior / Freeper types are dead serious, their ability to slip into unwitting self parody is uncanny.

They still publish Mixmag? Sure why not if there's a free CD.

Mix looks awesome...can't wait to get home and download a copy... May well be sending an email in 2stepfan's direction too...

I play piano badly, despite enduring years of lessons as a youngun (perhaps because I considered them something to be endured) and guitar slightly less badly (although not well enough to do it in public without many hours of careful practice beforehand). I can sightread musical notation if it's...

Good to know....only how exactly did you come about finding this out?

Actually, it kind of looked like beef or maybe lamb. It was OK, just not as nice as a good steak and a little tough. Might be better if prepared well.

I've had the best luck with the 'place in direct sunlight between two pieces of glass' method mentioned there. If the weather isn't obliging, you can also place on top of the fridge near the back for 30 minutes. Actually baking in the oven sounds a bit too extreme. Ever noticed how certain...

Not really all that exotic, but I've sampled rattlesnake (which does in fact taste like chicken), ostrich (which does in fact taste like steak, albeit not terribly good steak), alligator (which tastes like chicken that has been left lying on a pile of fish in the sun for an afternoon), and Fugu...

Well, you're right about that but that's not really what I was getting at. If the DJ doesn't give a shit at all or is completely unable to use the equipment then it's unlikely that the night will be all that enjoyable for anyone...but neither should the person behind the decks become so focused...

I do a lot of iPod listening on my commute (1 to 1.5 hours a day depending on the trains, 5 or 6 days a week depending on work = 6 to 8 hours a week. Call it 7 on average). I listen on my computer while interwebbing also (probably about 5 hours a week with music...many more hours interwebbing...

Those photos are fantastic. I have a friend who's Dad was a Ted in the early 50s and he used to tease us when we were teenagers about not dressing nearly as well as he had when he was our age (probably true). I've always found it interesting to get a look at what he was on about and I don't...

One thing that just occured to me: the only people who are going to actually notice the occasional fuckup (as opposed to a trainwreck on every mix or, you know, causing the entire PA to shut down) will be other people who DJ. As long as the rest of the crowd is dancing who gives a shit about...
