    Drunk food

    I would eat the fuck out of that. Need to get some Glasgow fast food emporiums on the parmo. Good work (apart from being a veggie)

    Drunk food

    Sweet jesus I hadn't seen this before. I reckon the awesomeness would be multiplied by southern fried or curly fries. Definitely getting this on the go sharpish.

    [GLA] Upcoming Nights and Other Events, Rolling Thread

    Jimmy Edgar & Gosub play Stereo on the 13th too. Went to see Daedelus the other week too, amazing performer. I've never seen a live performance with a Monome before, but he used it more proficiently than anyone I've seen on YouTube etc. I highly recommend going to see him if he's playing in...

    Post me a song you like that's new to you...

    Siriusmo - Die Rockwurst Heard this for the first time on that new Modeselektor mix, quality track. Plenty of fucked up percussion and the main synth line is like a good take on metallic wobble.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I understand that it's total sacrilege to put this in the grime thread, but I didn't think it warranted a new topic. The Guardian have a piece up on their site about the current 'UK urban' explosion, Dizzee/Chipmunk/N-Dubz etc's domination of the top ten. Although it's very populist, I enjoyed...

    Doubt I'll make it to Fortified but I might be at the CCA around half 10/11.

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Jesus Christ. I've read about this, but I'm yet to watch it for spoiler reasons. Not sure how I feel about the biggest release of the year kicking off with this, viewed out of context the Daily Mail etc are going to have a field day. CoD Modern Warfare 2 intro spoiler

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Continuing the Levi Roots/Caribbean theme, I made Caribbean lamb shanks the other night, they were bloody r8. Lamb rubbed with allspice, salt & pepper browned in the frying pan, chucked in to the pot with softened onions/garlic/carrot, deglazed the frying pan with red wine & beef stock, popped...

    [GLA] Upcoming Nights and Other Events, Rolling Thread

    Would love to see Greena, but Saturday/Sunday's antics have left me as an absolute shell of a man. Reckon the next I'll make it out for a proper night is Joker/Silkie on the 30th or Rustie/Lazersword on 6th November.

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Does Dissensus approve of cookbook piracy? 1. Wash the meat and pat it dry with kitchen paper. 2. Melt the butter in a large, lidded casserole dish - or you could use a Caribbean duchy pot. Soften the onion and garlic in the butter. Add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf cloves, nutmeg cinnamon...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Tried a few places for allspice today, to make a lamb shank stewy curry dish from Levi Roots' (of reggae reggae sauce fame) cookbook. Went to two African & one Asian groceries/supermarkets and none of them had any of the bleeding stuff. Will I be able to get a hold of some at one of the massive...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    omg nonono ps3 is teh suckzors etc etc I'd say the PS3 is better for media purposes than the 360, the xbox has a fit playing most filetypes, and doesn't have a bluray drive either. PS3 has built in wireless too.

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    It's better from a hardware point of view (both in spec and reliability), but that doesn't count for much. The Xbox has better games & online infrastructure, and despite being less powerful than the PS3, games often look better on the 360 as developers know it has a larger user base and spend...

    synth britannia - BBC4

    Dave, it'll go up on torrent sites I reckon, if not I'm sure you can find a way to DL it from the iPlayer site using a proxy or some other kind of technical wizardry ;)

    This also happens in Pro Evo I'll have you know. The 'Shot Technique' stat denotes their ability to maintain their cool and perform accurately under pressure. I am slightly ashamed that that knowledge is taking up space in my brain, mind.

    social networking is killing society

    Same for me, but it was the judging from their likes/dislikes on Facebook thing that I found jarring. I'm a bit guilty of this myself in a way, seeing what people are in to and what they do with their time and letting that inform my opinion of them, whereas in a time before Myspace/Facebook etc...

    in-ear headphones

    I've learnt from experience that this is on thing you absolutely should not do with cabled earphones. Wrapping around a media player gradually stretches the cables, and it's just a matter of time until the headphones give up. You're always better off just scrunching them up in your pocket, even...
