    Online Pirate Radio

    if by any chance you use a mac there is a great app called audio hijack which will record the audio output of any other application as an mp3 or aiff file - don't know if available for pc but there must be some equivalent

    who's going out on sunday?

    definitely going to plastic people, would also love to hear mayer but just can't do fabric anymore - does anyone else feel this way? despite the at times brilliant programming & promotion, the club is just too big & too many dicks for my liking

    Who killed Indie?

    The shark bar opened some time in the early nineties - not much of interest there musically except that I remember Damien Harris, now boss of Skint records & presumably somewhat wealthy, used to dj there before anyone cared. The zap club used to be a great live venue as well as a small club...

    Who killed Indie?

    I think this is bang on the money and Brighton was the ground zero of this phenomenon I reckon. It was probably the first place the London acid house scene spread to.

    Who killed Indie?

    I'm guessing you were reading 'the maker'? For me it was the blissblogger's review of Husker Du's 'Warehouse' that pretty much kicked things off, musically - something about 'soulboys & tasselled loafers fluttering in the wind - the return of ROCK' if I remember rightly

    john balance rip

    shit that's terrible - I blame London Underground for cancelling the Aldwich tube party at which Coil were going to play the night before: events surely took a different course because of that see: http://www.seedrecords.co.uk/

    Aesthetics of Cool

    I heard quite a convincing case that 'cool' developed amonst african slaves in the us, perhaps an extension or application of west african traditions that have been already cited in this thread. An expression of power for the powerless and a way of communicating agression without violence which...

    One of those ppl who vote on "values" doesn't like my blog :(

    "Anderson's rule number three: A healthy culture has mimicry of one's betters; a sick society has the opposite." Got no idea who anderson is but even if this were true - and it may well be that our society is 'sick' - who is to blame, 'one' or one's 'betters'?

    while we're in this neck of the disco woods this mix http://www.djmixsessions.com/mixes/DJ_MIX_THE_20_YEAR_ITCH.mp3 by sheffield's swag (doesn't quite work in london that name does it?) is one of the best mixes i've heard recently, for the most part avoiding overused 'classics' and with some...

    removing static from records

    even better is a lukewarm soapy shower, combined with johneffay's suggestion it could be the solution (excuse the pun)

    can reissues

    thanks carlos - hinten's the one i've heard but kanguru sounds more up my street - it's the unadorned drum sound on zero set that I love, contrasts so well with the electronics
