Where should I start reading for critiques of psychoanalysis - both as philosophy and therapeutic method?

What is it with that? I saw someone's profile with falling objects (in this case their name) raining down across the screen.. and those tiled garish backgrounds. It's so horrible.

Brilliant, thanks.

Oh ok then... so can I ask what made you choose to do download only? And would you do it for more releases?

^ Do DJs play cds a lot at dubstep nights? I've obviously seen it a lot in the past with dnb DJs playing dubs on cd. Also, I'd say there's more of a prejudice against laptops/mp3s than cds in general (this thread) because of perceived lower sound quality and the lack of "live" component with...

Good post on blackdown about the new Kode 9 here, but he only touches on the fact that it's available for download only, which as far as I know is a first for any major dubstep player (correct me if I'm wrong). Does this mean we're going to start seeing laptops at dubstep nights? Maybe there...

Any Brighton Dissensians going to see Skream tonight at the dingy Jazz Place? http://www.shrineofjuju.co.uk/ I've got no friends to go with :(

^ I think more likely the GHB they found on him...

Not that I feel a need to defend George, but for the sake of accuracy - other papers reported that he was de-arrested for being unfit to drive at the station, after medical examination, so according to the police and the examining doctor, he WAS fine to drive.

Ah nice one! the show I heard it on (Dave the Spaz http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/10331 ) listed as being by the Knights of the New Order... thanks!

There's some signs that autism/aspergers is more about a varying degree of symptoms rather than an on/off disorder - this is what Simon Baron-Cohen thinks with his "autism is hyper-maleness" theory. I don't think I agree with him, but there's some studies that show that parents (who are not...

Help with a tune ID/background: originally heard on a WFMU radio show, "E is for Evil" by (I think) the Knights of the New Order, a garage rock track about the evils of ecstasy - including some great lines about doing E, and ending up in bed with a "man AND a woman, and both of them dead"...

I know, this study is such crap. Trying to draw complex behavioural comparisons between human and animal models is nonsense, imo. I'm pretty sure that if I was locked in a cage, given drugs and exposed to 95 decibels of white noise that I'd be freaked out for a longer period of time... and...

that RNA world theory is interesting, but yeah the wikipedia article does seem to point out rather a lot of difficulties with it! The wikipedia entry on viroids, which I checked out, says that "The replication mechanism is quite unknown." - is this correct or not? Or is there evidence now that...

I gave up posting about indie because of the amount of negative bile that seemed to often result.

Yeah point taken - I was actually considering saying something very like what you just wrote, since gang gang dance and quix*o*tic appeard in this thread, who are also way outside the remit of the NME. In my defence, some of that mentallist association stuff wouldn't be totally out of place...

Tentatively, since I'm just feeling this whole hauntology thing out, I'd suggest the Tea & Toast Band. http://mentalistassociation.co.uk/stuff.htm For their "A Winter Journey" - especially "Ghostly ghost cabinet".

Must recommend: http://mentalistassociation.co.uk/stuff.htm Who are a South East DIY label/collective. There's some good post-hardcore/post rocky stuff like Shink, Yeborobo, Esiotrot, noise/weird like including Lightning-bolt Sussex types Mouslecomb Sword Gang and some great hauntological...

I agree with most of what simon says, and although I take your point, Martin - the depth of inequality is diffirent - they are both part of an alienating and disquiting society. Yet they still seem unable to rise to that challange of going beyond the critera set for success within by that...

Did anyone see this toss in the Guardian yesterday? http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/comment/story/0,,1704890,00.html Choice quote: "Now it's our turn to give a smug "up yours" to the punk generation et al. The Arctic Monkeys signal the triumph of a new wave that is going to be remembered as...
