hey dissensus people -- i think some of you might find it worthwhile to visit nublu on SUNDAY nights. i just happen to be the early dj (9:30 to 12 slot), but that is neither here nor there, as i don't mix or anything, and i've been resorting to a lot of post-punk-ish music (i call it...

i know so many musicians who play either stoned out or their minds or very high on cocaine why does this not raise the kinds of ethical issues we encounter with sports?

i can no longer deal with all these crates of records on my floor is there an easy consumerist solution? perhaps wooden modules that can be mail-ordered via the internet? or must i build my own shelves or contract with a friend who can? any and all suggestions appreciated

i realize this is not the most sporting of questions, and dissensus may well not be the appropriate forum for the question, but what do people reckon are the top 20 or so house tracks post-1992? let's say broadly within the "deep house," "trad garage" and "nu disco" categories . . . . some of...

after much fiddling about, editing links and such, here's the posting = I expect most people on Dissensus are anti-imperialists, and so may well greet news of deep cutbacks in u.k. naval fleet and capabilities as good news. As for myself, I'm at a point where I'm neither for or against...

i've just read "the green man" by kingsley amis. wonderfully entertaining, and the first of his books that i've read much prefer him to martin, whose books i've read several of, until i got hopelessly bogged down in "london fields" and swore never to bother with him again any other titles by...
