    recommend me an mp3 player

    And that is the reason they have sold 100, 000, 000 of the things!

    recommend me an mp3 player

    I don't see that as a plus. I have owned some sonically excellent iRiver devices and what is probably the best hard disk based player, the iAudio and I found drag and drop, no (simple) playlist support a chore. I like "synchs" - I plug in my iPod and it copies across my latest tunes and...

    What's your homepage?

    I always used a blank page but like polymorphic I use sessions in Firefox. I also run FF from a USB key therefore when I unplug it at work and bring it home it opens up with the tabs that I had open at work. That said I do now have a home page. I use NetVibes.com - I played around with...

    Experiences so far with iTunes Plus?

    Thanks for that. I am not sure I agree about the user info but it's done. My point in making the post was this. There are a lot of complaints from artists, producers and distributors on here about illegal file downloads and the harm done to the income for artists. A large number of consumers...

    Have you ever heard something so good it made you cry?

    The news that Paris Hilton had been sent back to jail?

    Have you ever heard something so good it made you cry?

    The fact that you saw them and I didn't has me crying my eyes out. Primal Scream - Moving on Up. That one always gets me, I have requested it for my funeral. I will probably be past crying then tho!

    I would say it was worth a dollar! Maybe more if you were a big Jungle fan! Even though by this time I was a "clubber" not a "raver" I used to go to the Yikes raves, and others, to see these Incredible Ragga MC's - "two blacks and a bubble" - they had some amazing flow back then and were worlds...

    Blackdown > Southall > Back in the day > Shaka

    I am not sure what I was saying really just in my opinion the DMZ dances and Dubstep in the last year has been comparable in sheer excitement factor. Big as in "wow" not "numbers" perhaps. Last year driving to DMZ I had to pull over and be sick I was so excited. That hasn't happened for a while...

    Blackdown > Southall > Back in the day > Shaka

    Them was whinging back in 1990 already! And 2-Step Fan will probably agree with me that the Dubstep dances over the last couple of years have been as big as acid house ever was. The difference is that the DMZ parties are as good and you dont *have* to take class a drugs ergo they are...

    Dubucation

    Ooh! So nice I'm leaving work early to try and find it! And buy the book. This thread is very interesting! @ STN: Top selection! Arkology was the soundtrack for all my kid's births and subsequent cot rearing. Arkology is always on loop in the kids bedroom :D

    Dubucation

    The Burning Spear 2CD Marcus Garvey/Marcus Garvey Ghost has a vocal CD and then a versions dub CD. These days I think a dub is equally likely to be a version or a method. It's a good point tho - the tradition of a DJ playing a vocal and then a dub is a strong one and is employed at all the...

    Ah. Full Circle @ The Greyhound - that was proper Sunday business especially when followed by a Charlie Chester after party at Hammersmith Tube station... And then there was also Yikes! @ Slough Centre - if you reached that then holla cos that was f***ing mentalness. Carl Cox, Fabio, Rampling...

    Blackdown > Southall > Back in the day > Shaka

    Blackdowns recent blog post West goes East - a lovely rambling literary sojourn into Southall got me all misty eyed. Southall was home to one of my early post acid clubbing venues when they moved Charlie Chester's "Passion" night (I think it was one of his nights) from a leafy suburb...

    Experiences so far with iTunes Plus?

    Experiences so far with the new DRM-free iTunes Plus? I think it is a good step. One in the right direction - that is as "a consumer" and "music purchaser". I think the initial implemtation has been a bit fraught and it still fails to recognise my old DRM'd content - such as it is. I am not...

    downloading music

    Trust me they do. One of the biggest "complainers" about sharing of dubstep tracks said it was ok to get Cubase via p2p but if a producer made a track on that Cubase he would have a right to be pissed off it was shared. So if the "producer" can't afford Cubase but wants to make money from making...
