    My French Music Thing

    Nahh - read the stuff and enjoyed it (and ahem - woebot does not display properly in Opera). Cannot claim to know "all about" any music really. But if you also like Serge&Bardot's "Bonnie&Clyde" (youtube has a VIDEO of this , a treat and the video could easily have been included in the "old...

    i-Pod #**$%%

    That's rather like saying RSS-feeds are nothing more than text rebranded. An RSS-feed IS text, but it's a hell of a better way to read and follow blogs than to check 50-60 websites for new content. I agree that the name is unfortunate (the pod part has nothing to do with Apple apart from that...

    youtube

    The trick seems to be to kick off the video you wanna watch, have a cup of tea/go to the fridge for another beer, come back and hit the REPLAY button (or in short - cache the bloody content, not sure how you download these though - this is the sort of short content I would want to watch if I had...

    Ahh yes well worth the download if you haven't seen it. I did a write-up/review of this programme after it was aired

    youtube

    no specific links. But it's excellent for all the stuff that was not on MTV or not shown on domestic telly in Scandinavia ("when I was a lad"). great for videos, TV appeareances, live performances of tracks I've heard, but never seen - like Joy Division, Dead Can Dance, Japan, John Foxx and...

    Technorati is fucked!

    Which actually makes it useless and annoying. Let Google or someone else move in - Technorati should be killed if they don't improve.

    Ken Russel's Teddy Girls pictures

    Read about these in Metro a few weeks ago and The Times had a full piece on the Teddy Girls this weekend. Quote from the Teddy Girl/Girls site I know I'm getting old - but weren't the youth tribes of yesteryear (from teddies, to rockers&mods, punks, goths, new romantics, casuals and so on)...

    Forum Leaders - We Are The Mods

    The rest of us are rockers? I suppose that is the significance? So - we are the rockers! (harder than those softie-mods on this board - on their dinky little Lambrettas and wearing silly suits)

    SXSW 940+ free legal MP3s torrent now available

    from the sxsw 2006 site - here there's bound to be some good stuff in there for those with the patience (ie me) to go through it all. I see that Lady Sov and Cadence Weapon as well as good old Chrome w Helios Creed (and even the ol' high-pitcher John Watts of Fischer-Z). BitTorrent client needed.

    the Change of Heart Thread

    I'm not big on opera either - but I watched this classical quiz programme "Kontrapunkt" 20 years ago (used to be amazingly popular in Scandinavia, when we had one or two state channels only in each country and it had an eccentric Swede, Sven Broman, doing the presentation) and they played a...

    Music Not Music

    I stumbled upon Fieldtriqp's "Faded EP" the other day. Impressive ambient free goodness - from Experimedia (there's bound to be more on this site but I haven't trawled through it all yet). here's the blurb from the netlabel (I am not a "long-term fan" as I just discovered the guy(?) and I...

    The Hater's Thread

    I would say it's more like 5% is good (Sturgeon's Law puts the good vs crud as 10/90) and 1% is top notch. As for people improving over a few releases - Japan is the perfect example of a band starting out quite badly (never liked their early glam/hybrid hard rock stuff) and ending up...

    What is the Best Newspaper?

    Depends on why you are reading papers - if you are reading them just to confirm your own strongly hold views on politics or for music then you are probably better off reading webstuff or specialist magazines (mind you - you can "read" the NME in 15 minutes, it's more like Hello magazine these...
