    singing in weird affected voices and the '80s/

    It took me a long time to fully appreciate Roxy Music's influence and I'm enjoying Michael Bracewell's Re-make/Re-model book at the moment. I think Ferry's affected voice will have fed into what i was talking about above but there is also a distinct strand of portentous, theatrical vocal...

    singing in weird affected voices and the '80s/

    Yeah I've been wondering about this 80s affected voice thing for a while and had come to the conclusion that Bowie is somewhere near its source and had spawned a zillion singer-types who wanted to be a bit literary, a bit theatrical, look a bit mad and intense and as if they might know a bit...

    the "i'm rubbish, help me please" thread

    Maybe it was under a flap at the bottom of the front panel that lifted off?

    the "i'm rubbish, help me please" thread

    Probably no help but ours used to have a little circular hatch under the door which you could open and clean the filter out. That is the sum total of my washing machine expertise.

    I'm doing 90 minutes in Cambridge this Saturday

    Ah, shame. Would have checked this out if Nochexxx wasn't sober and I wasn't in Colchester/London. :mad:

    This should work as a sort of all-purpose excuse for any misdemeanor.

    Sleep All Day Drive All Night - Question Mark Bar London 8th May 10 until 4 FREE!

    I was a bit partied out by the time I got there but the music was great. Nice to meet you Mr Eden and sorry I missed Woops. Long way back to Sydenham, see...

    Sleep All Day Drive All Night - Question Mark Bar London 8th May 10 until 4 FREE!

    It's this thing. Not sure what to expect, to be honest.

    Sleep All Day Drive All Night - Question Mark Bar London 8th May 10 until 4 FREE!

    Gonna try and tag along with Nochexxx if I can get away from my benefit gig duties without looking too much like a superficial gadabout.

    Tintin -vs- Asterix

    I showed my 9-year old son this thread and the poll in particular and he regarded it as some kind of asymmetric warfare/shock and awe thing on Tintin, even though he reflected that Asteix might have the edge on balance.

    Disco Ragas house music from Bombay

    Interesting, but I don't really actually like the music that much...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    When my mate did his A-Levels he got NUN - two near misses and an unmarked, apparently.

    Tintin -vs- Asterix

    There's something that doesn't hang together about Tintin. The first book is downright weird. The covers are amazing though.

    Internet Cafes are Weird

    I love this idea that feet, legs, asses etc are worshipped with solemn piety by gentle religious souls rather than, say, in drooling lust by deviants obeying their basest urges!

    :D Like the idea of shoes that talk (on them "wearing shoes that talk bitches").

    The Neue Deutsche Welle Thread

    My contact at Gagarin seems to have some affection for this: I think I've been introduced to Holger Hiller and I didn't really know who he was and it's really taken the edge of this namedrop/fanboyism. :(

    mephedrone

    Sounds like these guys were killed by the methadone/alcohol combo to me, not that we'll hear much about it from our trusty news sources.

    harmony korine

    Me and you hang out too much. I was just thinking of these two exact clips. I like the fight scene and i quite like the idea of Harmony Korine (his name is fucking Harmony Korine ffs!) and I don't mind him in that interview but I tried to watch Julien Donkey-Boy the other day and I found it...

    Not seen the QT but this is the snow tsar right? I guess there is some literary term for ironic names?
