Has anybody ever released a record as a prank? Not a comedy record, but something actually released to mislead/wind people up? Inventing a fictional scene or band, claiming to be made by another musician, claiming to be a classic "lost" recording...stuff like that.

Are you a bit of a no nonsense, proper fucken hard-as-nails geezer?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6928288.stm It's a shame that he turned out to be so fucked up, isn't it? The Thick of It was one of the few pieces of satire that I found funny and plausible in the last few years, (waaay better than the disappointing Nathan Barley) and what I'd seen...

Who has made the best "art"?

How funny were those urban myth drug stories teachers and parents would tell you? "A boy jumped out of a window because he was on LSD and thought he could fly." "A boy on LSD stepped in front of a bus because he though he was a ghost and would pass right through it." "A boy on LSD cut his own...

Avalanches style? Does anyone make tunes this way anymore? Not in a Girl Talk/2manyDJs megamix way, just tunes that you don't have to actually know what the loops are to appreciate it. Never really liked that style much, but it seems strange that it's died off.

Good ones for listening to music on, since my stereo has given up the ghost. £100 is my limit.

I suppose some people on here have experience of this. I'd really like to start a night in Liverpool or Manchester that played the best of the past twenty years or so of 4/4 stuff (house, techno, electro, etc) with a bit of flair and imagination. As opposed to just playing the latest releases...

Well not so much cheap as reasonably priced, I would spend around £400 on a suit, tops. Any suggestions? I'd be willing to travel anywhere in the UK, London is the main place I suppose.

http://www.woebot.com/2006/05/noir_desire_1.html I'd love to hear this... If it's not too cheeky to ask, could anyone stick it up on yousendit or something? If that's ok with woebot of course. :)

I know a lad who's really flipping out at the moment, he's into conspiracy theories about the illuminati and area 51. Reckons people in black BMWs are following him around, constantly paranoid about people staring at him when they obviously aren't, to the point where he's gotten into fights...

Even though I enjoyed the occasional song on the radio or TV, I don't think I actually sat down and listened to an album until I was about 11, when a friend made me a tape copy of Nirvana's Nevermind. Most people I've spoken seem to say 11-12 was around the time they "got into" music as...

http://www.etext.org/Zines/ASCII/ Some pre-www BBS zines from the early to mid 90s. A lot of adolescent drivel, a lot of awful poetry/fiction, a lot of now useless information on phone phreaking/early hacking, but also a lot of interesting stuff, even if just from a perspective of historical...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6547399.stm Bad news, I was a massive fan as a teenager, probably the first "serious" author I ever read.

Heard an r and b song on the radio that samples the intro to Toto's 80s MOR hit "Africa". None of the original lyrics or anything, just the tinkly synths at the start. Girl singing and maybe an MC doing a verse as well. Tried googling for this, but with no luck. Anyone know who it is? It sounded...
