Placebo. And like droid says, "has" is far to broad a category. There is some evidence that THC/CBD ratios produces different subjective effects, and in your "typical" hash, the ratio is going to be different to a "typical" skunk. But all this "skunk is evil and addictive" is pure bollocks -...

But is it "indie"?

If this is Ahmadinejad's bluff, it is bluff worth calling The only route to regime change and disarmament is engagement, so the US must respond to this week's letter from Tehran Simon Jenkins Wednesday May 10, 2006 The Guardian For a British foreign secretary Iraq is easy. It has been Tony...

Wow, I've just read the whole thing and totally agree. Now I have to dig up Mark's original post and read that (whilst stoned, natch).

What about Interpol? Certainly key in some sense, no?

After you get in to the swing of it, how can you not finish it? It's not easy, granted, but the last 1/4 or so of it is so great... don't you want to know the secrets of the rocket and Imipolex G? And what happens to Slothrop in the Zone? As for the Magus, about halfway through I just got...

Yes yes... Cmon shoestep crew, I know you're out there... (although I like Gek-Opel's term "sub-gaze" from the other thread)

I fucking love "Nothing Like You", the last track on their first album...

I'd agree with the Strokes, but if you're looking for a UK influential post-punk soundalikes, surely Franz got there first? (despite personal preferences - personally, although I liked the Bloc Party record when it came out, it hasn't really aged well. And I like Franz even less. Don't get me...

Ramesses! More of a doom/sludge metal thing, but they're great. Two of the band were originally in Electric Wizard, and recruited a bassist/vocalist a couple of years ago. I highly recommend checking them out. http://www.myspace.com/ramesses666 You can also read Julian Cope's delirious...

Bit late on, but I really enjoyed myself at DMZ on saturday. Still got a stiff neck from nodding today... Like everyone else has said, I thought Kode 9 was the most interesting, and some bits of Mala and Loefah's set did drag a bit. Funny that so many Dissensians were there - were you all...

The Notwist - Neon Golden (if you want influential indietronica)

Gravity's Rainbow is hard work at times, but well worth persevering with. I found it best to read in short bursts, just a few pages at a time - tube journeys ideal. I havn't finished "V" - I stopped a few months ago to take a break from it, ahvn't picked it up since but I will do soon. Books I...

I like the sound of all of this... ghost-step and sub-gaze indeed! I've often wondered why there arn't more dubs of grime tracks (as in the sense of dubstep producers remixing and subtracting).

Not so: http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=3063 I've got a copy of the new LP but frankly havn't listened too it much - it's just to unnerving/uncanny. Will have to give it some time

What else of Lem's is good? I've only read Solaris and another one which escapes me... something about a man alone on spaceship (was a long time ago!). I've just finished Brunne's "Stand on Zanzibar" which I thought was fantastic. What else of his is worth reading? His last few novels or the...

Going to be my first DMZ now I'm actually living in London... Look forward to it.

I'd say no. But I'd defer to Woebot's superior progknowledge. Semifinalists sounds mostly like Mercury Rev to me.

Underworld - Sappy's Curry Which is actually named after a greyhound, like several of Underworld's tracks (Born Slippy, Pearl's Girl) DJ Format - Ill Culinary Behaviour Buck 65 - The Food Song

I was nearly tearing out my hair when I sent an email complaining to the Royal Mail about missed packages and my postman leaving things outside the door, and got this in reply: Arrrrg. So deregulation and privatisation basically allows the Mail to wash their hands of anything and say "it...
