Knightfall was the absolute end of Batman for me, although there's still been the occasional thing that's caught my interest since then - anything written by Denny O'Neil or the incredible Ann Nocenti is generally worthwhile, though the art is usually horrible. Just found out that DC is finally...

My missus is OBSESSED with him. I think "Goodbye Bread" is the best album. Incredible live, apparently.

I unreservedly love everything he's done and it just keeps getting better, as far as I'm concerned. And it's not like he hasn't been active over the last five years. That last EP was bonkers. Every time he releases something, I buy it right away and I'm always knocked off my feet by how great it...

And I think that reference even made it into the first Tim Burton Batman movie.

The influence on Miller is well-established (he's even quoted on the back of the book) but that last panel really reminds me of Beto Hernandez.

Lein Wein's name was the only thing that made me think those Watchmen comics might have any redeeming features. I'm still not reading them, though. Just finished a couple of new editions of classic non-English-language comics. "The Incal" by Jodorowsky and Moebius plus "Corto Maltese: Ballad of...

In my defence, I just meant that one stage was boring, not the whole Tour. I've enjoyed the race a lot this year, although most of the real fun has been away from the GC, as far as I'm concerned. Some interesting new personalities and talents emerging, that's for sure.

I was really looking forward to today - all those classic climbs - but it was a bit boring, wasn't it? Looks like Wiggins is on his was to a solid, uninspiring victory. Too much emphasis on time trials this year?

What is this, the 1920s????????

Can't believe I'm actually sad that Cadel is falling down the field but he's like a completely different bloke: modest and self-deprecating off the road but attacking like a bastard on it. Sadly, though, not winning. Boy does he ever sweat a lot. Re doping: My take is that sadly they're all at...

I'm enjoying the Hifiman a lot, in spite of the incredibly shitty firmware. It took quite a bit of digging to find the EQ function (it's not displayed by default!) but with a little extra bass boost, this thing really does sound fantastic.

I've pretty much come to terms with playing 320kbps MP3s. They still sound great on the Hifiman. Might give this XLD thing a try at some point, though. The shittiness of the firmware on this thing is quite astonishing. For example, it only seems to recognize about 50% of the tags, so the...

So, my Hifiman HM601 turned up today and.... ***It totally doesn't play AIFFs*** Christ knows where I got the idea that it would. This is an epic fail for me because about 50% of my digital music is in AIFF. So basically, if I want to listen to the MBV reissues on the bus, I'll have to convert...

See this is why I just wanted to get a really high-quality player with a good DAC and a nice powerful output. If you want an iPod to sound really mint, it seems like you need an external DAC that plugs into the dock thingy and then a preamp to boost the signal. I guess if you want to go that...

This company might have what you're looking for: http://fiio.com.cn/ Mail-ordered my Hifiman today.

The MBV remasters are great. Sound great, look great. The new mixes of the demos really take them to the next level. Quibbles? Well, no new mix of "Kevin Song" for starters. And no vinyl (yet). Also, there seems to be a transfer error on one of the versions of "What You Want" and there are a...

Cheers for the advice. Yeah, I don't think there is an MP3 player with a 1/4" jack. The Cowons look good but apparently they don't play AIFF (the Apple version of Wav, basically but better than Wav because it holds tags). I'm probably going to get The Hifiman HM-601...

This thread is pretty stale, so I thought I'd revive it, see if any new shit had come to light. Basically, I'm looking for non-shit digital music player and I'm not having any luck. Here's what I'm after... Essential requirements: * Not made by Apple but works with Mac OS * 1/4" headphone jack...

Excited that I'm going to be in London at the right time to see this: http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/patrick-keiller-robinson-institute

Yeah, I like it. Tony Hale!
