I don't know what they're like live, but I'm going to be there to find out...

Probably V.S. Ramachandran? The experiment you're talking about was done by Benjamin Libet, and it shows that the conscious decision to act occurs after the start of the neural signal which instigates the action. It's supposed to be an argument for the non-existance of free will. I can't think...

Weird. I know Hot Chip too. Well I know the brother of one of them. And the people who put out their record, and their lawyer. It's like six degrees of separation in the UK indy music biz.

I'm sure we've all heard about the discovery of the detention centre in Iraq, apparently run my government forces, where 173 prisoners were kept and subject to what appears to be regular torture. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1644333,00.html It's already become a cliche for those...

I saw a seminar a year or so ago at Sussex Uni on something very similar, but a theoretical software project rather than real life blocks. I wonder if thats still going on? It was in theCognitive Science lab.

^ Our illustrious leader is the last one to send off his tape? Shocking.

I'd like to say I have an actual life and got tied up with the real world, and just didn't have the time I thought I'd have to make the tape. But I'd be lying. And god, I forgot how long it takes to make a tape. Getting the times right, re-recording bits, practising mixes, and thats after...

Not got mine yet either, but then I only posted mine of the other day so I can't really complain. I hope whoever gets my tape a least likes some of it... !

Interesting... strange that people are referring to "crackhouse" which would make me think urban, paranoid, dystopian and "ketamine house" which makes me think biomechanical, euphoric psychedelia. Better have a listen...

I've been trying to download a couple of mixes from yousendit recently, (around 100mg), and keep running into trouble - the download starts of fine, with speeds of 100kbps+, but then the download speed slowly decreases. Until, after getting not more than 1/3 of the file, it's crawling along at 1...

I don't know if this is free, guestlist only or what... Vice’s 3rd birthday party Thursday 17th November 2005-11-07 @ The Elysium Lounge (below Café Royal), 68 Regent Street, London, W1B 5EL. Load-in address – 9 Glasshouse Street, London, W1R 6EL Event Sponsor – Xbox LIVE ROOM...

I only made it halfway through the Magus before giving up. At first I enjoyed the peeling off of the layers of reality, but became increasling bored. I didn't even enjoy the "wtf" experience of reading it. After a few incidents, it all seems rather predictable, and astonishing that the...

Can't say I'm really that into it, apart from the grime-style drumming at the end of "Catch" - which, btw, is producer James Ford (of Simian/Simina Mobile Disco) on the drums.

I grew up near there... I think the tower holds some kind of truckers cafe, but I'm not sure...

Any chance of a reload?

Yes, of course, because if you're critical of the US involvement in Iraq, then of course you must be an Israel-hating, Iran supporting fundamentalist. That's pathetic.

Anyone know who he is...? Apparently on the new Various Productions stuff

Unprotected vaginal sex is certainly a higher risk activity for almost all STDs than oral sex of any kind. And the level of bacteria in the average mouth is a lot higher than around the genitals - urine is virtualy sterile. So I don't think there's any medical/sanitary reasons to not engage in...

The Science of "teledildonics" The recent history (and future?) of interactive porn technology: http://www.tinynibbles.com/teledildonics.html

it's a funny one, this business of using "gay" in a derogatory way. I know a few gay men who have used it in that way, flippantly, and I certianly find it less uncomfortable than negative racial terms. Why is that? Maybe because the way a lot of people use it (at least among people I know)...
