    Anthony "Shake" Shakir - "All we did was put a black face on it"

    It's pretty well established the original Detroit techno bods were influenced by white european synth pop and black american funk, disco and soul. That's what makes their music so interesting in the first place, ffs. Although I do think the mythology surrounding Detroit's first wave is a bit...

    JD Salinger RIP

    Anyone who writes a book where the protagonist gets flicked in the nuts by a pimp is alright by me. RIP big man.

    jfk conspiracy theories

    Didn't some mafia don confess on his deathbed that he put the hit on, after Kennedy reneged on a deal not to crack down on mafia activity in exchange for union workers' votes in the '60 election? That's one theory, haha.

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    Nah, I never feel like I can quite trust those dials, always suspect they're jibbing me a few seconds either way.

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    It has to be an animal that looks like it was designed in the '80s, rather than something you would associate with the pop culture of the time. I can't believe I didn't think of lizards, that's such an obvious one.

    What is the most '80s animal? I reckon zebra, but a friend suggested "polar bear wearing shades" which is just cheating in my opinion. Do tropical fish count?

    "Another Green World" - Eno documentary on BBC4's Arena

    With Or Without You is a proper lush production, just a shame about Bono's vocal :/

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    Just completed this after about 3 days: http://www.boingboing.net/2010/01/13/get-this-flipping-ou.html Absolutely cracking, get the demo at least. First time I've played a game to completion in years. "Don't Look Back" is great as well.

    limerence

    I was still hung up on a girl I went out with for a few months when I was 15 until I met my current gf about 18 months ago. That's like a decade of being crushed out. It would come and go. If I was seeing someone I'd forget about her, but as soon as I was single again, she'd be the one to come...

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    I never even downloaded the MP3. I googled the lyrics to the Dexy's song and that was one of the results. It just made me chuckle when you scroll down and see their jeans, is all.
