George Bush is somewhere in the world having a solemn stiff drink.

Why is everyone so tentative and embarrassed about liking Eminem? It's not really news that he's sick.

I reckon even just a gut-level annoyance with this being all over every newspaper and television is a legitimate grievance. It finds a way to insult your intelligence, even if you aren't that intelligent.

Believe it or not, there are actually legitimate reasons that people are full of venom about the whole thing. I can see how the hate might be perceived as embarassing when it becomes a self-congratulating group hate-wank, but to be honest, I'd take that over the hysterical, displaced, doe-eyed...

Will Self on the wedding: http://will-self.com/2011/04/29/madness-of-crowds-the-royal-wedding/ had to lol @: "Still, I’ve known crack dealers with a more aristocratic bearing than this heir to the throne"

lol or you could just practice

lol, I actually went and looked at it and it turns out it's actually 250 pages and the rest is a glossary and essays. Fancy that. Though I still reckon even 250pgs is too long for Conrad. He gets a bit too excited.

The self-service boxes at the libraries at my Uni are actually pretty useful, but I don't really like them on principle because they could be hiring students to do that job.

The relevant bit about that Wire thing up there is that it illustrates the conflict the once-record-collector-turned-downloader feels. You remember that buying vinyl felt better, more fulfilling. You remember actual moments in your life that will forever be associated with each record you have...

I was leaving a hardware store the other day and a woman was standing haplessly in front of one of those self-service check-out machines repeatedly wailing to no one in particular, "how do I do this? HOW DO I DO THIS?!" It was like something out of Terry Gilliam's Brazil

That Chase Is Better Than The Catch thread Leo just did works quite well in here, I think:

And Joe Nice last time I checked, but he's not on Rinse...

See what Tim Finney just did right there. The appropriate response for certain people out there right now is to read that and cry. I almost feel like crying on their behalf. All nice words your way well deserved, pal.

Mount Kimbie/James Blake/Burial influenced things - along with a smattering of that weird, overdone hip-hop influenced stuff you found a lot more last year - that you hear on people like Blackdown's shows*, and the last two years of turning on Rinse FM and hearing bland, American sounding vocal...

I wouldn't say that the "hardcore" quality is something that is a pre-requisite to music being praise worthy, it essentially being a category that contains similar aesthetic and social points between a number of chronologically and geographically connected UK dance genres. It is only ever a...

My favourite Conrad is Nigger of the Narcissus. I like Heart of Darkness as well. Lord Jim has been sitting on my shelf trying to get my attention for the last three years, but I'm anxious about starting it. I just can't really see how Conrad taking 500 pages to tell a single story could be...
