I came accross Netvouz a couple of days ago. Seriously impressed with it so far - thing like batch edit, good importing, proper categories (as well as tags), private marks, easy removal of duplicates and integration with most browsers (inc Opera). Recommended if you are looking for an online...

the bands and artists mentioned in Terr Sharkie's piece on "zolo" music might be of interest. XTC, early Split Enz, Godley&Creme, Residents, Plastics and so forth. Maybe not all surrealist, but surely different.

I fully expect this to be a big puff of nothing when it comes to it. Big name artists will opt out (not that I care, U2 anyone?), it will probably be infiltrated with some sort of spyware (for tracking revenue and record label data gathering), the site might be shitty and have we seen...

So what about Lippi's comments just after the game, then? Why did it take so long for action to be taken? Yes it "appears" so - to give the guys on the sideline a wee bit more time to watch the replays. What a fekken joke. Either there was a telly by the pitch or there was not. I believe...

No idea what Zidane was thinking. My personal guess is that something racist was being said (Italy and Spain still decades behind England on this) and The Indie speculates along the same lines . Does not matter - in a World Cup final any insult should just be forgotten until after the match...

I'll go with the mods

I haven't read Ali (have avoided her, because she sounds very much like Zadie Smith), but I agree on the "safe" bit. I found the first part of White Teeth quite good, but then it faded at the end. As for the contemporary East meets West connection I found the short story collections of Chitra...

hmm I said earlier that there should be video refs for every red card decision. Now if Graham Poll is the ref it would have to be for every yellow card decision ;) Blatter was on just the telly blabbering and looking slighlty shocked at Poll's performance - "someone should have run on the...

Well done to Ghana for going through. But as so many other games in this tournament - ambivalence. A shocking penalty decision at the end of the first half as well as the theatrical behaviour of the Ghana players in the second half made it hard to cheer for the African team as they made a meal...

I'm a huge fan of Lee Burke as well, some friend recommended him years ago and I've stuck with the Robicheaux series since. Not read any of Lee Burke's other stuff (as his new series on some lawyer type?) apart from his short stories (skip this). The way he uses dream sequences (and fog or...

here's some suggestions - DJ Online DJ Jay-Jay DJ Hey DJ Fey DJ Hey-Hey DJ Gabba-Gabba DJ Dee-Dee DJ Ramone DJ Me DJ You DJ Joy DJ Aha DJ Annoying DJ Naked DJ Sweat DJ Swat DJ Drowning DJ Lifesaver (every night) DJ ABC DJ Zero DJ TenZen DJ Architect DJ DD DJ Zero Tolerance DJ Blair DJ...

Well if his knees and mind is gone he shouldn't be on the pitch. It might be OK to "carry some extra timber" as Ian Wright called it in the group stages; but by the knockout stages Ronaldo will even have to get fit or get dropped. Even Brazil cannot play with 10 men plus a "Golf Sale"-guy...

It really is time that the whole refering regime in football was modernised - time keeping: an official running clock that everyone can see and that is stopped when the ref wants to add on time (like in ice hockey) - goal line video cams (France would have had that goal yesterday) - every...

Even if there was a common DIY, shout from the streets attitude and a sideways look at Kraftwerk I would think the clear answer was a resounding NO.

Lovely, massive, brilliant, breathtaking, "Avant-classical" class. More when you get the time, Rambler.

Very satisfying for us neutrals today (I'm cheering for England since I live here and Sweden since they are my homeland neighbours: but there hasn't been much to celebrate in terms of class) - Ghana's impressive win over the Czech, plus the US getting an exciting draw versus Italy makes it...

You mean the dreadlock pulling bit? :mad: a very nasty piece of sportsmanship actually (youtube) (a closer view here ). Not that England didn't deserve to win and all, but that really is a piece of backstreet football not normally associated with the English game and makes the win a bit...

well, they were billed as the best Brazil team since 1970. Clearly not. Ronaldo not fit, but just fat - but Brazil still pretty good up front. Ronaldo is (was?) lining up for being the all-time World Cup goal scorer (Gerd Muller:14, Just Fontaine:13, Pele:12, Ronaldo:12). He might still get...
