    internet radio/podcast recommendations?

    With this exception of Kingofcars suggestions, this confirms my suspicion that there probably are no good internet radio stations or podcasts. Which reminds me -- testing out iTunes' new podcast feature: is this it? This is what modern pirate transmission, free of regulation, has to offer? (I...

    Star Wars

    Not true actually. The 'Episode IV' subtitle was added, when the film was re-released. Sometime in the early 80s I believe?

    internet radio/podcast recommendations?

    Anything interesting, really... but preferably punk, post-punk, new wave, krautrock, c86, psych of all eras, industrial, electro, italo...

    Bombscare

    I would have considered any such decision deliberate and thus exploitative. Unless it was a totally wickedly necessary track.

    Terrorism/Media

    True, I am definitely referring to US news. Fox is an easy target, but all outlets are guilty, really. For example, Fox's reporting on the London attack was largely a report on 'fear' -- how citizens would cope emotionally, how they would change their routines, how their fragility was comparable...

    Terrorism/Media

    Why is terror conveyed so much more easily by the media than by the actions of terrorists themselves? The news specializes in making fear quotidien even when there aren't bombs and murder. And when there are, all the news does is chart the spread of fear (terror) and thus spread it further than...

    Is taking drugs immoral?

    Drugs 'turn off' many things. And by letting go of morality whilst on drugs, I of course don't mean that to be taken to the extreme. The goal and (hopefully) the result of recreational drug use (i.e. FUN!) is not to become amoral or to have the freedom to act harmfully without regret. But the...

    He's great. I love the ordinary objects that are secretly clocks; he makes tiny mechanisms that allow for hairs on a brush to actually function as clock hands, all barely perceptible to the eye.

    Is taking drugs immoral?

    But these are not the people or motives I refer to. The drug-users (and abusers) that I referenced through very general examples are precisely not those who are fooled by 'suburban reality glare' etc. You mention cynicism, but your language seems to imply ignorance. Most drug users that I know...

    Is taking drugs immoral?

    Don't people take drugs to avoid morality, to be taken to a place without such division or polarity? The stoner watching 2001 , the raver on speed, the artist on smack. More often than not, these are people for whom drugs allow reprieve from questions of morality, the impact of one's indirect...

    stereo mono

    Hello all, first time poster. Just wanted to share something I was thinking about: the use of stereo should not be taken as a rejection of mono. On nearly every pop record since the initial wave of stereo hard-mixing (or hard-panning), it is standard procedure to mix at least the drums*, bass...
