We ended up not reading Nietzsche in class, though it was on the syllabus. I plan on reading it over the summer though because that was rather a disappointment.

Nietzsche is great to read, because he never really claimed to be writing philosophy. It just seems to flow better.
I think I'm going to be ending up doing Nietzsche and Sartre next year.

Just don't see it expecting a dramatisation of the books (like I did), and you could well enjoy it, even if some parts fall a bit flat. If nothing else, you get to tell me what you thought of the film/Zooey Deschanel afterwards.
Anyway. I just read a pretty cool (and short) article on atheism, whilst making myself a cup of tea.

Who did you vote for? Around where I live it makes no difference who you vote for, since we're in one of the safest Conservative seats in the country, but my Mum's voting Lib Dem anyway.
Liberal Democrat.
Screw the secrecy of the ballot!
What with being around Newcastle though, I'm not sure how much difference it'd make to Labour's hold.. I'm not sure if I've sent it off in time anyway.
I love reading Nietzche...he's just such a fascinating guy, even though his ideas were so badly misappropriated by the Nazis during World War II.
Yeah, that was all his stupid sister's fault.. Good luck seeing the Guide, and enjoy The Arcade Fire. I wish I could say more on that point, but I still haven't heard anything by them (except lots of praise from Alt/Indie quarters).

It's quite simple to explain though. Dutch is my native language, obviously I have to take that. English has become such an important language that there's no way around it, we have to take it. In South Belgium, everyone speaks French, so to get along with them Walloons, we have to take French, also Obligatory.
Latin or economics? The choice was easy for me, I had to take it for 2 hours per week and that was more than enough for me, it is soooo incredibly boring.
I only took Old Greek for one year, just to learn the crazy alphabet.

For Western people English isn't *that* hard, sure not a lot of foreigners can spell everything right and get all the grammar right, but the native speakers can't either. :)
Peer: How long do you plan on staying in Belgium? I might be planning a trip out there.
Eh, I've lived here since I was born, I'm not leaving anytime soon, I think. :p
Is Norwegian as difficult as it's supposed to be? With it's 26 cases or whatever it is.
It's pretty easy to learn, actually, because the grammer is very similar to English. It's not like German where you have to structure your sentences completely different. Plus, a lot of words are very similar to English.

Assuming he can find an excuse. I rarely spam anymore and have ceased to mindlessly flame members (Eleventeen has learned). I also though, have no reason to tell him such other than just wanting to which would be considered trolling and spam and thus a banable offence unless I did it in an album review. In one of the reviews he yells at Br3ad about the Brand New review I could do it because he just goes to br3ad's reviews to tell him he hates the Deja Entendu review. I won't though.

At least you got a cheap Endtroducing. I paid full price for mine What do you think of it?
I like it so far, but I haven't listened to it yet. Basically the only song I know is 'Midnight' so I'm pre-disposed to liking it.
I think you should vote Liberal Democrat. And yeah, I know I voted for them so it probably seems like I'd be telling anyone to vote for them, but I think it'd probably be best from your point of view too, since you're starting University next year and they're a very student-friendly party. Not least of all in regards to fees.
I think I'll try and do some research so I have some kind of idea for whom to vote. The Lib Dem's make sense, I guess.
HHG Movie: Was good as a movie, but as a guide movie it was bad. It would have been fine if they made it under a different name. Most of the casting was good, apart from Mos Def. I now hate him with a passion. Zooey Deschanel did Trillian really rather, I thought
I guess it is a problem when you make a movie of a book, but they got a lot wrong. The Vogon ships were all wrong, as was The Heart of Gold.
I also dislike how they left out most of the little Tangents that Adams embarks on throughout the guide.
And the interface for The Guide was wrong as well :-/

I am reading A Clockwork Orange right now. It is so weird. I've never seen the movie and don't know if I want to. The author replaces certain words with gibberish but it's consistent. Example - the word see is replaced with vid, in all forms and tenses. Horrorshow is some all encompassing word I have yet to understand so far. And their is so much.... evil.

but vote green!... or conservative
That's a rather odd combination of parties to vote for, isn't it?

Yeah, I thought the Heart of Gold was supposed to be sleek and attractive. It was the ugliest bastard of a ship the world has known.

I don't quite understand what they were thinking when they designed it. Was the big wormhole thing in the middle supposed to be the infinitely improbability drive?
Anyway, when I said my CD shopping was disappointing I forgot to mention that Fopp has a load of Talking Heads CDs for £5.00, but I didn't know where to start.
I was planning on asking you for recommendations on where to start.

Oh, okay. Well, it seems to be commonly agreed that the only really essential thing they've done is Remain in Light. However, of the five I have, that was the last one I bought; maybe I just haven't listened to it enough yet (it seems a bit more difficult to get into than the others), but I don't like it as much as some of the others. The point is that it hasn't grabbed me as much as any of the others (other than Speaking in Tongues), so I'm not sure if I'd recommend it as a first album.
My favourites of the ones I have are Talking Heads '77 (an excellent, excellent debut, which include Superpeer's favourite TH song, I think) and Fear of Music, which is kind of like a transitional sound between TH77 and RIL. So those two would probably be my top recommendations.
Other than that, More Songs About Buildings and Food was the first one I got, and the one which prompted me to go out and buy the others, but after a while of listening to it, it seems like although there's nothing of close to low quality on there, there's nothing of spectacularly high quality either. Speaking in Tongues is solid, but probably the weakest overall album of the five I have. It does have the original version of Burning Down the House, though.
I could always upload some tracks for you if you want, though I think Talking Heads work better in album form.

munky, definitely get Remain In Light. Personally I love that album, although the sound of it really varies. The first half is very funk influenced, and the second half is a lot more mellow, thanks to the role that Brian Eno (Roxy Music) played in the making of the album. I'd say that's the only absolutely indispensable thing they've done, although Talking Heads and David Byrne in general = :cool:
Quiet you :angry:
Though, could you recommend some David Byrne solo stuff? I think I saw an album of his in a Virgin Megastore the other day for £3, but the only album of his I've even heard of by name is Look into the Eyeball, so I need advice.

Talking Heads eh? Again, I grew up on this band, I would have to say True Stories is my favourite by them, it's deffinitley worth checking out the live album "Stop Making Sense" too, there's some smashing acoustic and electric versions of songs on that album, PLUS! I got my copy for £3! What a bargain eh? :cool:
I fully agree. There aren't many books that really convey evil that successfully (well, not that I've read, anyway), but that one does it very very well. Quite alarmingly so, actually.
I've read the book of A Clockwork Orange, and seen the films.
The book's not much good, to be truthful, but the film is awesome, some incredibly weird scenes, the porcelin dildos is one, and the scene were the lead character (I haven't seen it for such a long time) smacks the fat guy in the balls. The torture scene is sickening at the end, a real look away moment.
And yeah, how is everyone? Been on a kinda post hiatus for a while, and haven't posted in here for a while.
My new musical tastes have progressed:
I bought Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead by the Smiths on Saturday, and got a Johnny Cash greatest hits too.
It's weird, each time I listen to the Smiths, I feel like a slight hypocrite, I always used to laugh at my dad for listening to them, but really, they revolutionised a music scene which had hardly any "Indie/Alternative" aspects. What a group!

Apparently, the original American version of the book omitted the last chapter which really pissed off the author. The movie also left it out which annoyed him further. I'm reading a version with chapter 21 though and I'll see how it is. The author is a lunatic.

No problem. And if you have £20 or so lying around spare, you could always buy several..
In other news, is Audioscrobbler working for anyone else? I don't mean the usual lack of updates; my recent tracks haven't updated since this morning, and since they usually update in real time, I'm wondering.
