Agree that it takes out a bit of the romance (T&T the only little shock so far) of the World Cup knowing that most teams have no chance of winning it (much like most national leagues), but so far the big guns have played well - Germany and Holland were OK and positive. Argentina looked like real...

yeah England were poor in the second half, much thanks to Sven's decisions and probably a bit due to the heat (it was hard enough to sit on the couch, a cold drink within short reach). Germany and Argentina have looked the classiest team so far, with best management maneouvre award so far going...

NHS's new IT system: total bill might be up to £30 billion (does not give great confidence in the Gov's numbers on the next IT disaster in the waiting: the ID card system). Labour's spend on management consultants: £3 billion Not clear if the last number is on NHS consultants only or Labour's...

VeriChip thinking of RFID-tagging US "migrant workers" (The Register). With the recent Home Office troubles here in the UK I guess that if VeriChip were to make a call to No 10 they would find listening ears.

Yeah - I have tried it and that other one as well (Pandora). Probably more than 6 months or so since, so I might give it another go in time. I might not have given it enough time and data - much like when I bought "Das Boot" on DVD from Amazon (my first movie purchase on there) and I got...

There is also the possible indirect John Foxx/Ultravox! influence via Eno on these. Foxx also being a friend (?) of Czukay - there's a thank you to Foxx on the sleevenotes to "Movies" - which again has sections pointing to "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". From Q Magazine's special on synthpop...

Not that extreme as it turns out. But still fekken funky, great and good visuals (in that order - Henke, Noto, Ikeda I think). I guess some would have found it a bit tedious, pretentious and all - but I just lapped it up. The turbine hall is great place for this sort of music - and with me...

I'm not there or any other one of those sites. Why not? Well quite simply because often I don't want to hear something "that person x and y listened to and they like Z". I want to hear something else - the opposite, not this x or y like Z and therefore you must like A stuff. I want to be...

Well with a nick that could be taken from a Mafia (capital M - don't want to offend any of the music mafiosa hanging out on this board) or one of these Guy Ritchie movies I am not surprised - ;) Scene - dodgy London pub (I think The George down in the docklands must be one of the roughest...

New World Record for Fly Fishing New fly fishing world record - lemon shark at 174kg/385 lb. more at jamaicaobserver

Enjoyed the mix John and get well soon. Had RSI a few years ago (until then I thought it was one of the made up illnesses). Physiotherapy, chiropractor and some mild electrical treatment of some sort (from the physio) made me OK in a few weeks. Since then I've always used gelpads for both the...

oh dear - I was rather looking forward to putting my arse on a pillow on Monday night and hearing Monolake and Alva Noto for some "extreme minimalism" (how extreme can you get?)

The last I heard of the great Peter Perret was his work as The One (no false modesty). Try the new band Gliss if you miss Peter's voice, the best glam big city rock around at the moment (if you know of anything better lemme know) (although on a couple of tracks they fall into Smashing...

a long list of 80s videos from A Flock of Seagulls via Mantronix to 808 State (mostly mainstream stuff) - http://www.milinkito.com/los80.php via thingsmagazine.net

No you are not missing anything (apart from Mr Gutter and his typewriter?). Gutter's probably just making a point ("suck on this you dubsteppers"). If and when he comes back is all up to him. The dissensus is shit by k-punk thread has all the relevant stuff and external links.

Corneilius - put the tracks up on http://ccmixter.org to get in touch with the CC remixers.

Not Hell_SD's posting well? It's neutral and family friendly and all is it not? I guess Gutter is pissed off and nursing his wounds, before hopefully bouncing back. Then again Gutter is a dad - so maybe he's just finding the whole internet a bit dad unfriendly at the mo and got better things to...

From what I've seen the private sector in the UK is full (but not as full as the New Labour's regime) of the same silly target culture. I agree that you should have targets and a proper definition of success (in business), but too often they are boiled down to an exact number of some sort - ie a...

mistake: "A CD is 70 minutes or so, we're gonna fill it all up with with 15 4:30 minute tracks to give the punter value for money". As opposed to 35-40 minutes of top notch.
