Any of you lot like them? Their new album "The Bird of Music" I think is fantastic, but I guess it might be too twee for many Dissensus heads.

Weirdly, that link to Putnam re-redirects to the wikipedia entry on HTTP...?

At the risk of further derailment... Coniston Bluebird has got to be one of the best nothern ales. Get it all over the Lake District, and can find it bottled down south too. And for real lager, Cain's Liverpool Lager is fantastic. Young's Kew Brew is a great southern ale, although the only...

Those two are brilliant. "The Unpleasant Profession..." blew my mind as a kid. John Brunner - Stand on Zanzibar

Mainstream SSK.. that takes me back! I'm a bit bemused then if you peg yourself as a social constructivist... Why don't you and HMLT agree more? ;)

But that's an even stronger claim! Popper was widely criticised for demanding that one failure was enough to consign a theory to the dustbin, and Lakatos etc defended that as a gross misreading of Popper's ideas. If one positive result is no good reason to accept a theory, why is one negative...

RE webcomics - I've said it before but www.achewood.com is THE best thing on the internet. Takes a while to get into... but well worth it.

Sounds a bit like "Haunted Dancehall" - the imaginary novel quoted in the sleevenotes of the Sabres of Paradise album...

thing-in-itself is transcendent, not immanent...? I imagine HMLT's relutance to engage with that has something to do with the fact that any definitions or concepts of truth/knowledge produced within such admittedly narrow areas are not necessarily (and possibly never) applicable outside those...

Yup I thought this was the case too...

Most of my favourites mentioned already, only thing to add would be Jim Woodring's excellent "Frank" books. Are they comics or comix though? www.jimwoodring.com And they have almost no words in them either, Luka.

Kazuo Ishiguro - The Unconsoled

Where's this quote from...? My reading of Kuhn would not be that paradigm shifts are a consequence series of conscious decisions made by scientists. The critical thing for Kuhn is that what paradigm is accepted and appropriate at a certain time in history is due to how well it answers the...

Edward - very sorry if you felt my tone was aggressive, it wasn't meant to be at all! Ok.. where to begin. The problem with Popper and falsification is that it doesn't get round induction at all. To re-present my claim that falsification is "reverse" induction, let me use your phrasing...

Are they dreams of weird, Clyclopean buildings with angles that arn't quite right that instill an otherworldy dread? You want to get that looked at, I hear it can turn out badly... ;)

Well my first reaction was of disbelief... I'd have thought if this sort of thing was going on, I would have read about it on dissensus first! It seems interesting anyway...

I do like some of the Pleix stuff.... Their Plaid video is still my favourite though.... http://www.pleix.net/plaiditsu.html

I'm sure many of you will have seen this in the guardian today... http://music.guardian.co.uk/rock/story/0,,2066036,00.html Comments?

Am I being a bit thick...? Those archos players (204, 104, g-mini) - non of them have a line in or mention recording abilities? Just found this Boss recorder, which looks good but has waaay too many features for my needs: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/14418

Can anyone recommend me either - an mp3 player with decent line in recording, with different quality and stereo/mono options, or a cheap portable hard disk audio recorder? I guess I'm looking for something like a minidisc recorder, but HD/flash ram based, something that can record mixes off a...
