    File sharing and music culture

    That such lists exist just highlights how wrong headed much of the music industry and those attached to it are. It is fucked. As another example: <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uNQVyj7vVZs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> It's made even more...

    King Midas Sound

    It's taken you a year to come up with that clever response? No wonder MMS doesn't post much anymore. Dick.

    File sharing and music culture

    More distressing is the existence of this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/interactive/2011/may/26/guardian-music-power-100-interactive 'Music Power 100' ffs. With an 'interactive web interface' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Edit: I see you have linked to it on the Reynolds thread

    Can't get enough of the new Grouper LPs <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vUPTCDvpdE4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Apart from on AIA Alien Observer where there's a proper song, which a) isn't very good and b) distracts from the blurry, foggy feel...

    item 1. WORLD CUISINE WORLD CUP.

    From a vegetarian perspective: 1) Japan- I love how everything is finessed to within an inch of its life- for example restaurants that only sell tempura and then 3 dishes.Tempura has never tasted right since. Had some of the most amazing (but also some of the most gag-inducing- which adds to...

    Iceland

    Wicked. Make the most of the public baths- you'll miss them when you return home. I assume Iceland is still relatively expensive then?

    Demdike Stare

    Tryptych is very good, much better than the pre-2010 stuff, but there's still something missing from their output that I can't quite put my finger on. This is highlighted for me by their podcasts/mixes of self-produced stuff mixed in with influences etc being more interesting than their own...

    comics

    Yes! Picked up volume one before Christmas and loved it. Got volume 2, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. There are about 10 massive volumes out so far!

    Record Shop Opening

    As the linked post suggests, Oxford has been without any record shops at all, apart from a piss poor HMV for a number of years, so it at least has a chance. However, stupid rents, a mainly transient/rubbish youth population, etc etc has meant the death of loads of good record shops in the city...

    Bird Watching

    We've moved house and regularly get a Jay in our garden. A neighbour tells me we can also expect to see owls fairly often. Regarding feeding of birds- over Christmas they loved the fat balls I left out, so much so that they risked bankrupting me. Nuts and seeds don't seem to attract the...

    Day Trips from London

    Rich, if you are into those sound mirrors definately go to Dungeness; no where is better suited to be their home. The whole ares is beautifully bleak, with discarded fishermen's huts dotted about, whilst the nuclear power station looms over you. Derek Jarman's house/garden is there too. Take a...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    For an answer for the controller question, I'd have a root around the neogaf and rllmuk forums COD4 is awesome. Wish I'd never traded it in :(

    edinburgh, what's good?

    Walking. This time of year is perfect. Almost ghostly as evening falls, in particular. Old town, New Town, Arthurs seat etc etc etc Wandering aimlessly gives you the perfect excuse to drop into a warm pub (of which there are many ace ones) every now and then. Museum of Scotland. Also...

    Listening Room: Dissensus Room

    Not sure whether to put this here or in technology. Anyway... Just come across this website: enter/create a 'room', add tracks and everyone in that room then hears the current song. Dissensus room: http://listeningroom.fettig.net/room/dissensus/
