Bollocks - who's writing this stuff? :p It'll happen in 100 years time - which is not 400 generations.

I recently picked up a dirt cheap ancient JVC turntable for my girlfriend - which works and plays fine, but I'd really like to replace the needle (god know how old it is!) as soon as possible. Anyone recommend anywhere I might be able to get a compatible stylus? I'm hoping there's some websites...

There's been quite a bit of fuss over how good Wikipedia is recently, starting with Nature's study, which you can read here (word doc). Articles were compared between Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica, by a panel of experts, and although Wikipedia was found to have more errors that the...

Not that I'm aware of. I heard an official album promo, so I wonder how it differs from this leaked version - it doesn't sound too much like a live band tho, plenty of studio stuff going on - will have to check it out again.

OK got it... cheers!

Fake. From Lancashire originally, lived in Stratford and south (camberwell, brixton, herne hill) for 4 years, and now back to brixton after two years away from the capital. Actually enjoying being back, lot more than I thought I would. London's a much more appealing place if you don't have a...

Done, but I don't understand how to move my marker. I seem to be stuck in central London - how do I drag my pin to somewhere else? I don't follow michael's advice... am I being thick? :o

Saw they got a couple of mentions on the "new isht" thread. I just got hold of a promo of the new album, and it's sounding pretty good so far. What's the dissensus on them?

Is this online anywhere?

I hear they've signed with a pretty large indy label.

The Mentalist Association: http://mentalistassociation.co.uk/ South East noisy lo-fi indy types, with Moulsecoomb Sword Gang (who sound a bit like Lightening Bolt), the hauntological (i think?) Tea & Toast Band, and tribal nutters Yeborobo.

Hella epic is true... the strip where Ray is knocking back the Christian Brother's and wondering if Roast Beef is "that much of my dogg" to take a beating is just amazing. The surreal pathos of the strip is incredible. I think my all time fave moment is at the end of the Philipe kidnap story...

In this interview he goes further than that in saying he wants his name taken off the books he doesn't own as well, and wants to stop earning money from them.

Went to Trash @ the end last night, and their mysterious secret band turned out to be the Slits... Apparently they're recording new material - they played a couple of new songs, along with "shoplifiting", "fm", "man next door". Musically, I quite enjoyed it, but everyone else I was with thought...

... and then maybe "Landcruising"

I guess so. I never got a tape, so not much else I could do really...

That's brilliant. We need more of this. Paul, hope you don't mind, I've been spreading your term around and encouraging people to take an interest in shoestep. This what people should be making instead of that grindie nonsense... makes much more sense. An aside, someone on Statik's myspace said...

No - it used to be that a UK billion was a million million, and a US billion was a thousand million. Thi change in fact originated in the 17th C in Italy and France, or so Wikipedia tells me. Now most countries use a thousand million as standard, and so does the scientific community. A trillion...

Is the Grindie mixtape available for download anywhere? Logan said he was going to put it up on his myspace but so far it's not up...

Well every century surely? As don quixote pointed out - 2106, 2206... and has happened several times already, most recently in 1906. So I think "once in forever" is being a little but generous with the truth... ;)
