    Things we should get for our BBC licence money

    oh yeah, they need to be the ones to use a distributed content delivery system, a peer to peer technology like emule or bittorrent in a 'valid' way. using it to distribute legally shared content. letting people stream episodes of nightynight or that ianoucci series is never going to scale up to...

    Things we should get for our BBC licence money

    i think it's been 'harmonised' across europe. and being in the palm of industry the council of ministers decided to choose the longest period as the new default. so they went with germany's 70 or 75 years. it's also back dated so things from the 30s and 40s which were out of copyright are back...

    Welt am Draht

    i came away with a realy positive impression of opera (my first time...) but later i wondered if i would have been just as happy to see the play. most of what i liked was fassbinder and the design, the music was more invasive than helpful... and not as shocking as i had been led to expect. but...

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

    yeah i think there's a greater proportion of successful women, taken more seriously, in dancehall or grime or pop than in british 'serious' music (indie/rock). but i think any discussion about that tends to look the other way. i also dont get offended by it in indie boybands cos i dont listen to...

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

    i like dancehall, yeah, i plan to get into it more, but at the moment i'm just a beginner (been a beginer for a few years actually :o ) i'm coming to it via grime... possibly an usual route i think i find stuff about aggressive sexism and stereotyped gender in dancehall more upsetting than...

    if media coverage is to blame its because of the type of coverage. queers on teevee are not much past the black-and-white-minstrel stage. i can't think of alot of gay 'personalities' in mainstream media that i've been encouraged to sympathise with, who have been portrayed as anything other than...

    gay sex isnt all that different to straight sex, its the same parts that get involved. banning gentiles marrying jews was for 'medical' reasons, south african doctors and southern US doctors have had problems with mixed race marraiges on some imagined medical grounds in the past. i think that...

    Good audio file converter?

    hey! if they're grime ogg files you got off me on soul seek, its a condition of downloading that you appreciate the format... ogg is smaller file size for the same sound quality as mp3. plus its a genuinely free codec unlike mp3. you can get the ogg codec from the ogg vorbis website and that'll...

    Movies from stills

    the opening sequence of husbands by casavettes is a set of stills combined with his usual over amped noisy background sound. all but one of the wives and one of the titular husbands only appear in this segment. the sequence only lasts a few minutes tho... there's also the semi stationary...

    heads up londoners!

    i think melchior doesnt mean that policing causes gang culture, but that the isolated police group adopts a gang-like mentality. they want to rule thier streets, they protect and cover for each other even when theyre wrong, thier ideas become closed. i dont think his bad experience invalidates...

    Pr0n - what is it good for?

    WR: mysteries of the organism ends when the serb proletariat gets its head snapped off to conceal lenins excessive ejaculation... it's quite amazing. i love the credulity of the treatment of 'orgone', the womans voice-over, the perverse suicidal nature of the movie (apparently tho the sex...

    yeah okay mmaaaaaaayyybe, what about an example of the opposite? (art stagnation in a perfectly liberal culture) once i see that i'll be ready to move to berlin for the Neue Schmutz-Welle.... jammer is gonna have to change his lyrics if he wants to tour germany in that climate tho p.s...

    the german elections: a victory for the left?

    i think the SPD are going to find it pretty easy to disreguard thier electoral mandate and fall in line with the "reformist" agenda. i dont think it's going to be quite the stalemate of the 60s. the difference between the two partys isnt that great is it? its all in the implementation rather...

    what does your girl listen to?

    first met my last little boy at a tracy and the plastics show, then i met him in the record shop buying some shit house, first date we went to see dizzy rascal and some reggaeton things. i dont think i could keep a straight face if someone put on a dave matthews record to 'make out' to, or...
