I see no revolt? Apart from a couple of journalists and from organisations like Liberty and sites like The Register. Apart from that - the sleeping arrangements of your foreign minister seems to make bigger headlines. Latest in BigBrother creeping in on us - CCTV in classrooms (register)

There was an article on the killer combo of foreigners (including asylum seekers obviously) and ID-cards (with the passive tags called RFIDS) in the Grauniad last week. It was extremely obscurely worded (like the author was afraid of putting the whole picture together in clear text). Basically...

yeah that's rubbish is it not, that the content is not available outside the UK. YouTube has the Scott Walker one though. Hopefully this is the sort of stuff that will be made available when BBC.com goes live (next year?).

The Culture Show has been worth watching lately. The last episode for a while tonight - but today's interview with Eno and last week's coup of having Scott Walker on the show are still available as video clips. Scott has a new album out in May.

why not give photobox.co.uk a chance and report back here? 30 free photos to boot and Paypal payment as well and you can get a calibration print to match your monitor as well. they did a test in a recent PC Pro magazine on high street vs online photo shops vs your own printer at home (cost...

One to watch for the producers/remixers on here - two of the tracks (no mention of which ones) will be released for free under a Creative Commons licence - . The MLitBoG site doesn't contain the tracks yet though ... (via kottke.org)

I'll have some mercy with ya Luka ;-) I've got one of these HP all-in-ones (scanner, copier, colour printer, but no fax) - and I am quite happy with it. But scanning isn't great and printing photos is cheaper and probably better (not to mention ever getting done) using an online service like...

biometrics is one thing, the other one is that the ID cards will have RFIDs in them (as mentioned on the oyster card thread) - enabling the powers that be to track most of your moves. Basically England is soon becoming a future tyrant's paradise - every single UK Citizen will be tracked by...

This guy DJ Come of Age plays neo-soul (including some of the ladies mentioned) on his podcasts (his latest is 68 minutes and probably worth your bandwith and diskspace, although sometimes he just drops one track) and sampler/mix CDs - recommended for a dose of some smoother grooves. Came...

And then there's Hector Zazou ("Sahara Blue" is the only one I've got, decent). Zazou seems to pretty much have worked with almost "everyone" of the half-established leftfielders (ie Budd, Sakamoto, Ribot, Hassel, Brendan Perry, Peter Gabriel, Laswell ...) and female vocalists (Anneli Drecker...

here we go - the bloody plebs of the British Phucking Idiots at the BPI is on the case claiming that the youtube stuff is piracy and that the record labels own the clips (even concert footage? do the artists really sign this off as well when they sign on that dotted line?). The concept of...

I remember reading that thing. I think he is right in that music is everywhere, that it is cheap to get and all. But as for how much it appreciated on emotional level I am not sure he is right. For some music sure, but for people who listen to music I am sure we connect in exactly the same way...

Just the way it is. There was a piece on music in The Guardian or The Times over the weekend - and it seems like there is a real divide. Us elderly like albums and physical objects like LPs/CDs - whereas the youth thinks of music as a track for their mobile/MP3player/computer. There's also the...

f**k. Always say never again then ... I said to my better half that it was hard to believe and that I wondered if it would last. But I have to say this was very shortlived. What next - Syd Barrett to hook up with David Gilmour just because Dave was seen driving his car through Cambridge, Peter...

When someone has a (bizarre) story to tell - ie like Nick Lowe's "Marie Prevost", Stan Ridgeway's "Roadblock", Nick Cave, or typical English acts like Ian Dury and *cough* the Arctic Monkeys it's worth paying attention to. Trobadour and/or Country seems to have some of the best writers...

couldn't find a Moroccan podcast, but there's a Tunisian one that might be of interest (the stuff I've heard so far is rather laidback, though) - http://tunizika.blogspot.com - and there's quite a few sidelinks to investigate on this site. I guess "Spécial Marrouc", is a special on Moroccan...

Guess you all knew (I didn't until today) - but never say never again, (aversion). I just hope they dare to let it all hang out and that Brian does not leave after the first couple of days,

Via the Marine Girls tangent (as mentioned earlier), a little bit of a leap I admit - I'll be getting me (rain)coat ...

and probably early (ie pre fashionable clubbing makeover) Everything But The Girl and Tracy Thorn's solo "From a Distant Shore" as well (that pleasingly turned up last autumn as a cult recommendation in The Indie ) and maybe around-the-same-timish Ben Watt's "North Marine Drive" (you get the...

you're welcome. Is that the same as what we call "poodle rock" back home in Norway - ie Europe (the band) and the like (big hair, soft hardrock)? Not too big on metal - apart from Motørhead, but they we're on Stiff initially with Mick Farren and all, so they don't really count? And things...
