Joining this rather late, but seconding you on Octavia Butler, tho I actually prefer the xenogenesis trilogy. I also would heartily recommend Liz Williams, especially Empire of Bones. Amazing. Sherri Tepper, especially her book Grass, is good, in a pulpier kind of way.

I think owen's talking about the title, not the question itself. I agree. nice question, but a title that made me not want to read it except out of morbid curiosity. really, it just looks like it's going to be one of those "women! why don't they get it?" kind of threads. if you can't figure...

AWESOME. what tune, do you remember? that was my bus for 2 years, I grew pretty fond of it. Are they really dropping it? awful.

I had the Sony 700s, (the silver ones that every drumnbass dj on the East Coast had for a while there) but they have broken in an annoying way - sound is fine, but the earpiece cracked so it doesn't stay on my head. Apparently many folks have had this problem. They are also quite heavy, and...

Might I suggest strawberry-rhubarb, if it's still rhubarb season for you dave?

haven't heard it. knowingly. but might i add, dave, that I have no idea whether what you said is positive or negative.. my experience with cobblers is shoemakers, or really tasty fruit-and-crunchy-oat-topping desserts (also called "crumbles" I think) and now I'm all hungry.

The US is a third world nation on steroids. This just finally hit the news, is all.

Oh no.. let's move on to female MCs and lose the R+G moanerama! I'm interested in hearing more female grime MCs..

I did too, Atomly! But on the other/actual theme of this thread I'd also bet Big Pimpin' sampled bollywood..

Not sure if it's on that site but there's a great site where someone answers as "Randolph Carter, an anthropological researcher with Miskatonic University, in Arkham." and strings the would-be-scammer along and slowly turns the story into an H.P. Lovecraft-style descent into madness and worship...

I think this is it. http://www.emsnetwork.org/artman/publish/article_18337.shtml or maybe that's another story.. damn..

You should go to Neurotitan, in Haus Schwarzenberg, Mitte (Rosenthaler strasse) - amazing comix, art, art gallery, and killer record store. You should go to Deeroy's Dub Spot, on Pappelsallee in Prenslauer Berg -Eberswalder Str. S-Bahn And on (I think) Zossener strasse (or is it Zingster) near...

yeah that's just what Bush thinks about the people who are dying in Louisiana right now. nice one. There's a lot of people living here, and most of us are getting fucked, but the poor (and especially poor and black) are getting the most fucked. Even in a failed state, there's nowhere else for...

DD that is funny! glad to smile for a minute. Smiling re: news from NOLa only happens when I see media figures finally waking up and speaking up..

Dominic - the evacuation "plan" was literally "every one for him/herself" i.e. buy gas for your car and drive it out. buy a bus ticket. etc. Add to that the fucking greyhound station CLOSED on saturday. there was no plan for people with no money, people in hospitals, the elderly, students away...

it is probably easier to find in Germany, but I know peeps who saw it at Amoeba records in San Francisco last week. Keep digging!

So this cat Michael Bell-Smith layered all 5 sections of R. Kelly's magnum opus together, synced up, in tune, and the videos are simultaneously overlaid.. does that make sense? anyway it's pretty cool - all 5 episodes of the story at once, and it has this weird ebb and flow as each verse peaks...

The Voltage lion with lightning bolt in its paw.

ZDNet Australia says that a Judge just ruled that websites that post links to other websites that host infringing material are breaking the law. while the mind boggles at the idea that Australian content-owners will start suing those outside Australia, it puts Australian music bloggers, music...

about Maya herself.. a few points made earlier rings true to me. 1) if she's not lying about her family or her past - she's not appropriating anything. It's just a truth that doesn't fit in to more rigid images of class identity. some find this offensive? 2) I reckon some Tamils hate the...
