    Why Israel

    If you want to bring modern morals into it, all killing is immoral, unless you have the god given right to do it ;) - no seriously, the parallels you have drawn between the IRA, Al-Qaeda and the Palestinians cannot be supported if you have any experience of those separate situations so I think...

    Inheritance Tax

    Once again its all about transparency - how much of the road tax, MOT, fuel tax goes on maintaining and moderninsing the roads? Very little on actual tarmac on the ground as far as I can see, but thats the current illness within government sponsered construction projects in this country - I'm...

    Inheritance Tax

    It depends on how much of your profit you want to sacrafice to keep demand high - if you buy at a rising price, keep the same percentage of profit to cover that cost by keeping the resale price (after refinedment in this case) high, then eventually you will choke your market, and be undercut by...

    Burial "Untrue"

    Not sure how you could copy Burial without sounding like a clone of it anyway - its just too narrow in its style to be a template, and to specific in its influences to be needed to copy anyway. Skippy Garage/2 Step beats over urban soundscapes with haunted vocals and crackles is all well and...

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) sounded like visionaries to an impressionable teenager, especially linked with the Designers Republic branding, but now it seems impossibly trite and amateurish its almost unlistenable. Probably a bit like Kasabian will in 10 years time.

    Radiohead were never shoegazing. Ride, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, early Catherine Wheel were though. Ride were seriously underated as wall or sound purveyors and flirted with electronica before sadly going down the trad rock path. Slowdive went electronica then folk which was the weirdest...

    this radiohead thing then.

    That would be an offence in my house - honest. No really - is it cynical to find artists who have the opportunity to say something in their music as misguided, or is it just a personal thing...Personally with the likes of Radiohead, social commentry through music in a non-threatening or oblique...

    this radiohead thing then.

    Are most people turned off by music (or musicians) that are supposed to have "a message"?

    this radiohead thing then.

    Can you actually legally listen to this new release anywhere? - if Radiohead wanted to create a new distribution ethos, then you would be able to perhaps listen to the material one-off, and then if you liked it, purchase it at the price you felt it was worth. I personally don't think any...
