    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    Cool. I really liked that Wen showcase off your blog. Best dubstep I've heard in a while. I think I prefer Wen to LHF, bit more focus mebbe...

    Buying A House

    I bought one last year. It went incredibly smoothly and in retrospect I was very lucky. What happened with me was that the estate agents recommended some solicitors. They said it would be easier for some reason I don't recall but clearly it was because they were on commission. Knowing no...

    Olympic Bullshit

    Johnson maybe (but so what? He's in office for the next 4 years whatever) but Cameron's widely perceived to have had a shocker. Fucking up on school sports provision, trying to bury the collapse of the coalition on the day Farah, Ennis and Rutherford won gold, looking like a twat in his...

    How has burial dated for you?

    I still listen to the first album and bits of the 2nd, but my favourite tracks of his are new ones. Street Halo is probably my favourite Burial track, though I like loads of them. And the new EP is his best since South London Boroughs. I don't listen to any post dub step stuff really so I...

    Roiling football blather

    I've got Scottish family (Dundee Utd and Aberdeen fans) so I have taken something of an interest. Putting Rangers in the 3rd division seems like the right thing to do from a sporting perspective, though we'll see what the longer term effects on Scottish football turn out to be. It seems...

    Olympic Bullshit

    In all fairness, maybe that's why you don't understand it. As far as it was possible for something like that to be good, it was pretty good.

    Dissensible Soccer

    Yes please. Finishing outside the Champions League spots still hurts me. Still hurts me.

    Cycling

    Mystic Jenks! My cycle mad mate has been much the same, says he can't believe how popular the tour's become, especially compared to a few years back when it was disgraced year after year by cheating.

    MuRRAY YOURE SHIT

    I think the answer is that Federer happened. He serves every bit as hard and fast as Lendl did but he's got all these extra angles to his game as well. Then others have to respond, grafting these new skills on top of the now taken for granted power game. David Foster Wallace's piece from 2006 is...

    Festivals

    Well they might have shut it cos of the rain, but the whole thing was shit anyway. There's no way it wasn't oversold, though. You couldn't get into any of the arenas, and there were hundreds of people still queueing outside. Wasn't dangerous, wasn't nightmarish, just shit. I left at 11 having...

    what are you reading now?

    I'm reading Red Plenty by Francis Spufford. It's a historical novel (which he describes as a fairy tale) about the economy of the Soviet Union. It is fucking boss. I've just got to the bit set in Gosplan and it feels like the big baddy has finally been revealed. There's a bunch of references...

    Running your own website

    Ah I think we might have been talking about different things. I was talking about the free blogging site Wordpress, not the software. I shall now investigate. This is all very interesting.

    Running your own website

    What I want to do is graphs and charts and what have you. There are some good free ones that give you code to post into any html page but when you post the code in wordpress you just get a blank page. So eg in google charts you can do all sorts of jiggery and pokery and then post the code into...

    Running your own website

    Does anyone on here have their own website? Obviously there's the bloggers among you. How's that working out? I kind of want one, but I've looked at wordpress/ blogger and they don't really do what I want. I'd like to be able to post more complicated visuals, eg google charts and what have...

    Euro 2012

    Thought Wellbeck was really good the other night. He's quite a clever player, holds on to the ball well and waits for support rather than heading for goal all the time. I was trying to explain this to a mate in the pub during the game, whereupon Wellbeck did the exact fucking opposite and lost...
