isn't star trek a militaristic facist state? Where replicators owned by the state are used as a tool of enslavement and coercion to tie star fleet together? Where technology fails to liberate us from accusations of 'insubordination'? Where any assertive alien species which doesnt acquiesce to...

My counter example for this claim would be southern europe in the 70s. Migrant workers from new EC countries were subject to exiting EC labour laws and recieved much improved wages, their working conditions were far from dreamy but they were economically elevated compared to the past. The...

C as an ideology vimothy: do you think you express capitalism ideologically by representing statements of capitalist theory as moral imperitives? as i understand it, vim implies: H&M must maximise profit for the good of rural workers and other factory workers in the developing world. This is...

The paper looks very interesting. But just from the abstract there are some physics questions, for me. Does the wave form really "transactionally collapse"? Isn't the idea of 'the observation' rejected in QM now? I'm not really sure, does anyone know what the thinking is? Surely any...

bringing home the war to Deptford at the twee-er end of things, the other two from the door and the window were in 49 americans who had a couple of reissues recently. They were a big ensemble featuring vivian goldman, steve beresford, viv albertine attempting to hijack London Musicians...

I do actually agree it's a strength of the book club idea to sometimes get forced into reading something that you wouldn't naturally have gone for. My reservations probably really stem from an inferiority complex w.r.t. to people who have an academic/professional background in reading and...

I've been enjoying this guy's stuff recently... starting from the obvious counter-terrorism send up, "...K. Blum...". Obvious fun reading RoteArmieFaktion era BundesRepublicDuetschland material through '7/7/9/11' era UnitedKingdom. I'm gonna try and read along. But don't wish to influence the...

go on then I still thought rapid was saying until about the third time i saw him at D/C.... that was my most saddeningly un-gay dirty canvas moment. For ruff sqwad there's still a good whack of homoerotic mileage to be got out of reading "i think i know him" as the story of running into...

excuse to post photos sounds like powers of ten, a nine minute film made in chicago in 1977. But this isnt what you meant is it? but i wonder if there isnt a french version and the americans just stole the idea four or five years later replacing the animation with photograph at the...

Died at the weekend. I found his writing and film a great antidote to the relentless contemporary bombardment of humourless representations of muslim cultures. Compassionate and at the same time full of honest criticism. reading Xala made me laugh out loud, but i thought he deserved his own...

pull up dat dostoevsky If the "notes from a rathole" fans are still around. You need to go back to the 1913 version, trust me.

both very big. jessica rylan doing acapela in front of bemused noise boys at no fun fest was awesome....... and wynne's voice is really excellent. .... especially with the half joking warble ... but what happened only writing songs about "Havaline"? i'm enjoying "magnetic attraction" by...

just to clarify some of the words in the article quoted, since the meanings may have changed this is bleak: this is cruel: and this is the happiest denail of odious utopianism:

oh by the way, thanks alot to everyone who replied. very helpful information... new york is less like chicago's islands-in-a-wasteland so its easier to find good things had a really good time just messing around in the city, like a cross of good things from my previous american experience and...

just remembered... stretch by maximum joy. a pig-bag / pop group off shoot if i remember rightly(?) also this double live LP of acts playing at thames poly in the early eighties is great if your into low quality recordings of indie-end non-stadium post-punk...

an Essential Logic record is almost enough to make aurora illinois bearable. also kleenex/lilliput (awesome mess of a swiss version) mo-dettes (slightly rubbish french version?) y pants (arty new york version) huggy bear (90s brat anti-britpop version) spider and the webs (present day version)

i think actually i've half decided to give up on record shopping in favour of book shopping........................ i'll probably relapse though so thanks for the recommendations definitely going to brooklyn bridge "paw of steel", christopher street (ground zero-queero), running around in the...
