Quite like that Monomen, but it's very Interpol innit?

^ That's insane. Do you know about the bacteria - a particular species, can't remember which, that infects ants. The bacteria makes it's way to the ant's "brain", where it grows slowly, and as it does so it invades the neurons in such a way as to modify the ant's behaviour, making it more prone...

What does "NME-esque" cover? From last year, I liked Arcade Fire a lot... can't think of much else that really stood out. Recently, new stuff I've been enjoying: Prinzhorn Dance School (nothing released yet, minimal Pixies-ish three piece). The Klaxons (rave-cover thrash, lot better than...

tried to PM but your box is full Paul... would love the url

I havn't seen Thin Red Line, but one of my tutors remarked on it as being a very Hegelian film, presumably to do with its treament of recognition. But then I always thought that Hegel's recognition was pretty close to Heidegger's ideas about mitsein/das man.

They used it in a derogatory sense though, right? As in "we're not playing any of this grimey shit" or words to that effect - and then it was taken up as a positive tag by the nascent grime artists.

it's DIPT (di-isopropyl tryptamine), and subsequent anecdotal evidence suggests that Shulgin was wrong - their are auditory effects but not consistent and they are not the only effects.

"back off or we retaliate" this just gets worse and worse... http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,1700266,00.html

Cheap shot! But it might well be the case... some further facts - apparently something like 5% of the people who did the test showed up as being amusic, which is a huge number. part of the study will be to try and see what sounds/music the amusics prefer, so a little while down the line we...

Thought this was interesing.. and got to thinking, if amusics find "normal" music unpleasent or unrewarding, what kind of sounds might they find enjoyable? What sort of stuff would an amusician or band of amusics make?

Listening displeasure By Dr Lauren Stewart Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Not being able to sing Happy Birthday might mean you're tone-deaf. But what if you can't actually tell the difference between it and the National Anthem? That's where a condition called amusia comes in - and here's...

What about Jim Woodring? There must be some fan's of Frank's adventures on Dissensus... http://www.jimwoodring.com/ Deleriously psychedelic.

Yikes, economic -9.13, social -8.21 Too many of the questions presuppose some context - like "military intervention in against international law is always wrong" - does that mean under the international laws we have now, or any possible future international law?

I'm interested in this, but kinda worried it'll be the worst of both worlds.

Yeah, the main difference being that turning of life support can result in a pretty agonising death a lot of the time - starvation, suffocation, etc etc, whereas the point of euthanasia is it's quick and pain free. If the end is inevitable, why not let the sufferer choose the time and means of it?

Stockwell tube, northbound northern line platform - the wall of the tube usually plastered with ads has been painted a deep shade of blue, which seems to fade down, getting darker towards the bottom (maybe due to dirt deposited on the sides?) Anyway, the whole thing looks like a mural of a blue...

£200 per year to play off your laptop in the pub? Are they having a laugh?

Bizzare... http://www.lmaweb.com/wlacpast.html Here you can find mp3 clips of each yearly champion. Check em out. The most recent years sound like junglist mcs!

^ Haha, good idea, but one that I feel might result in me getting my tape sent back... lol

So me, harmaplazt and infinite thought never got tapes? I hope that anyone who received a tape and didnt send one out feels sufficiently guilty...
