    Most embarrassing sleeve

    Ooh er... Fucked up like how? I hate posting dodgy links. Sorry. FACT seemed like a pretty non-sketchy thing to link.

    The 20 worst sleeves of 2011 at FACT http://www.factmag.com/2011/11/14/the-20-worst-sleeves-of-2011/?pid=2020 A few thoughts: 1. Hey! I like that Moritz von Oswald cover!! 2. Some of these are clearly "ironic" 3. Do I notice a trend of bands trying to make their covers look like they're in...

    Favourite guitar tones ever

    The Reich thing is, of course, Pat Metheny on guitar. Has anyone mentioned John Fahey yet? Gotta love that 12-tiny-steamhammers-striking-the-strings sound. The man was a machine!

    What PostPunk has RIU&SA make you drolly over?

    Must admit that I've developed a massive allergy to post-punk recently. The mere thought of listening to The Pop Group or Gang of Four fills me with a terrible ennui. Over exposure, I guess. Having said that, I'm still listening to a LOT of early Scritti Politti and I've been enjoying the...

    Favourite guitar tones ever

    First of all... MY BLOODY VALENTINE Everything by them, really but especially "Loomer", "To Here Knows When", "Don't Ask Why" and "Several Girls Galore" Also... Neil Young - Zuma (underrated!) The Byrds (that 12-string sound) Fennesz (everything) Davy Graham/Bert Jansch/John Renbourn...

    the rap canon needs rewriting

    Embarrassed to admit that rap music ended for me in 1996. I have a very vivid memory of a mate playing me the second Jay-Z single and me thinking "Well, that's the end of that then". I've liked the occasional thing since then but mainly mortifyingly uncool stuff like Anti Pop Consortium. I...

    Bert Jansch R.I.P.

    Not unexpected (he cancelled his last show here in Vancouver on account of lung cancer - and that was a while ago) but it still bummed me out. Really wish I'd got to see the reformed original line-up of The Pentangle. Does anyone have a link to the BBC footage of them playing at Glasto?

    Weird world of MaxMSP/PD etc geekary

    I've been thinking of switching from Max/MSP to PD just because PD will run on Linux and Max won't. I've vowed never to buy another Apple computer and I'm sure as hell not going to run Windows, which just leaves Linux. Hopefully, my sickly prince Mac will hold out for another couple of years but...

    Best External Hard Drive for Mac AND PC

    Just got my drives and I've started formatting the first one. First problem: I couldn't do it on my new computer. I'd heard that formatting drives could be a problem with recent versions of Mac OS. Luckily, I also have an old Mac, so I'm doing it on that. Looks like it's going to take bloody...

    Only if you're halfway competent to do the job. You're talking to someone who can't even bang in a nail straight! Seriously - I'm useless.

    comics

    If by "soap operas" you mean "stories about every day people's lives" then I suppose that's fair enough. But, to me, the term implies either "trashy" or "mundane". Neither are true of Jaime's work. Gilberto is another matter and he's produced basically nothing but crap for about the last 15...

    Jaime Hernandez's "The Love Bunglers", collected in the last few volumes of Love & Rockets New Stories is just about the most amazing fucking thing I've ever read!
