    Poll: What kind of school did Dissensus posters go to?

    tiny state primary in the countryside, miles from home, chosen by my parents which was absolutely wicked - only about 20 kids in my year, forest out the back of the playground we were allowed to make dens in the summer term, big adventure playground... then local grammar school from 11 - sounds...

    Rave revival?

    Does Bangface count as "retro-fetishistic"?

    Michel Houellebecq

    From a scientific point of view, the ending seems pretty ill-thought out. He completly glosses over any benefit that sexual reproduction might have for a species, focusing on the elimination of individuality as the main "criticism" of the protagonist's theory. Rather than what would actually...

    Climate change and environmental collapse-ultimate challenge to the capitalist "real"?

    heat death, time's arrow, etc As I understand it, the "reverse arrow of time" was shown to be a possibility by Lawrence Schulman in 2000. He showed that time can be made to run backwards in a closed system, but only by imposing boundary conditions on the final state of the system, as well as...

    Animal Collective @ the Astoria

    Went to see this last night - they totally rocked, much better than the last time I saw them. What really got me was the fact they can sell out a venue of that size (what is it 1500? 2000?), fill it full of young people (lots of girls too, not too many obvious beard stoking nerds - myself...

    what temp does vinyl warp at?

    i feel like i ought to know this... i mean, ive had bits of vinyl get all bent out of shape after being left in hot cars in the sun before, and always been cautious about keeping curtains drawn in the room where my records are. but now ive moved into a new house (in London), and the room i want...

    Climate change and environmental collapse-ultimate challenge to the capitalist "real"?

    But this is a given, not a possibilty. Civilisation, the human race are finite things, and we should work from the assumption that at some point there will definately be "no future", rather than wondering about the possibility of such an event. Global economic collapse, the sun going nova, the...

    can I get ill from eating too much bacon?

    I'm not doubting that high fat, high meat diets are linked with colon cancer. I'm simply disputing the claim that "meat stays in your gut for years and years". Here's a recent thing from the BBC which explains the uncertainties in causes of bowel cancer linked to meat that I mentioned...

    Johnny Dark

    That is a wicked record, sadly one I don't own. He did a ltd edition 7" as well that was pretty garage-y, and also of course that remix of Pole on the split 12 they did on Leaf. That's properly weird 2-step, highly recommend it. http://www.discogs.com/release/46343 I remember seeing Keiran...

    Also in that vein was the fantastic Mu-ziq mix of Capitol K's "Capitol Beat Sticky": http://www.discogs.com/release/63874 And I would include Ardisson's 12"s on Seed, some of Si Begg's and Tipper's output on Fuel (High Volume and Doughnut esp). Oh - and Tim Wright of course.

    can I get ill from eating too much bacon?

    Alright then, got any evidence? It just doesn't make sense logically - where is all this meat stored, and why doesn't it block up the flow of other food? Actually, it's more complicated than that. There's no consensus on exactly why red meat is linked with increased bowel cancer - one theory...

    DMZ: who's reaching?

    I came late (avoided the queues) so missed the first set, and was feeling totally exhausted anyway, but loved Youngsta & N-Type when I go there. I thought Mystikz and Loefah dragged a bit, and was too wiped to really enjoy Skream & Hatcha, but that was my fault... noticed a few more e'd up...

    can I get ill from eating too much bacon?

    I'm pretty sure this is a myth propounded by various groups. Every biologist I've ever talked to rubbishs it - the bacteria in your gut are damn good at breaking stuff down. Hvaing said that, there are definate links between eating a lot of red meat and bowel cancer later in life. Plus, pigs...

    DUBSTEP- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    He's definately had a touch of 2-step in some of his stuff - the track he did for the Warp Magic Bus tour probably the first thing I heard him do like that. Check out this on last weeks breezeblock - his set from the Faster than Sound festival, which features a lot of dubstep-type tracks. No...

    DUBSTEP- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Is this what the Various album's going to sound like? It's certainly going to stray into that territory - the "where I belong" 12 used a vocal by Sia (who did stuff with Zero 7).
