    Logic 8 is out

    This is interesting to me as someone who tries every now and then to make tracks on computers but then gives up and goes back to hardware stuff. But I have had some success using Reason. Here are a couple of things I found really useful to do - move one or two sounds a bit out of time add...

    Prince's London love-in: a must see or over-hyped has been?

    Yeah, agreed, it was rubbish last night. I had fun dancing to a couple of songs but it was really a case of trying to make the most of it. I got the impression a lot of the cheering was people trying to convince themselves they hadn't wasted their money. I also got the impression that he knew he...

    NYTimes: Why do men lie about sex?

    Mr Tea, I am just quoting what the article says: +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Nomadologist, you are correct that the TOTAL number of sexual partners of the males must equal the TOTAL number of partners of the females. But the article talks about the MEDIAN number of sexual partners, which as Mr Tea...

    NYTimes: Why do men lie about sex?

    Sorry to be really dry and boring but the fact that they are quoting median average and not mean average has an effect on the interpretation of the data. I can't really guess why they have chosen to do this because it's very misleading to talk about "averages" of this kind - most people...

    Freestyle

    Downloading now and looking fwd. to it. Mixing freestyle you really need to learn where the breaks are in your records and get the mix in there. So.... has anybody got a spare 12" of Diva "I Wanna Break Night With You" on 12" tey wanna sell/give/trade me? :D

    Freestyle

    No I'm just saying he mixed Running in case anyone was interested. It's not a competition or anything. Deary me...... :(

    Freestyle

    doh! oh well, he did so many records using the same samples, I'm not TOO ashamed..... Louie Vega's first mix credit was Information Society's "Running" I believe, which was a kind of midwest synthpop band that crossed over and was MASSIVE on the NY scene. You mean Orange Lemon :p :)

    Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

    I think me and my dad sat outside a restaurant that Bob Holness from Blockbusters was sitting inside, about 7 years ago. But it might not have been him at all.

    Freestyle

    OK well I just emailed them so let's see if they reply..... I did a bit of research and it turns out that Scrappy & The Box Boys is not a black Chicago house type of guy but a pair of Chicago art-scene types who jumped aboard the acid craze and made a few jams before going back to industrial...

    Freestyle

    after a bit of fiddling... I think 101 or 202 through a flanger.... 101 is easier to make the sound but the 202 sequencer is closer.

    Freestyle

    Here's the discogs page for Zap: http://www.discogs.com/label/Zap+Records I don't have either of the records :-( It sounds exactly like a 101 or 202 to me. The 303 filter doesn't whistle like that and you can't do a squidgy slow attack on a 303. Absolutely no way. I guess it could be a...

    Freestyle

    I reckon anything with a 4/4 kick is not freestyle..... but anyway... it's a great track, especially the "freak mix" on fantasy.... It's definitely NOT a 303 on the mystery track, sounds a lot like an MC202 or SH101.... And.... the mystery track is: Freeze by Scrappy on Zap Records, pretty...

    Freestyle

    Well obviously all these words mean whatever the person using them wants them to mean - just look at the continuing slippage of "electro" from its original meaning to practically its opposite. but.... I would say electrofunk (or electro!) starts with records like Planet Rock and Clear and also...

    Denim

    There is a big thread on men's fashion somewhere on here. Anyway I agree but I like the Evisu loose cut with the minimum amount of paintedness and absolutely raw denim. The fact that they are popular now doesn't stop them being nice jeans.

    why do people cross their legs when they sit down?

    I refuse to believe that picture. I can sit exactly like him except with my heels off the ground, or with flat feet but knees pointing almot straight up near my armpits. Do anyone's ankles bend as much as the guy in the drawing really?

    Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

    My dad used to play cards with Pete Waterman (not the record producer but the boxer, Denis (minder) Waterman's brother.) I saw Pete Waterman (the record producer) in a sandwich shop in Borough.

    Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

    I sat at the next table to the whole of Kajagoogoo at breakfast in a hotel in cornwall when Too Shy was number one. I saw Ray Reardon give a snooker demonstration at Pontins. My mate claims to have been behind Professor Griff buying a stopwatch in a sports shop and immediately bought the same...
