[QUOTE=Bartender]^I might be going to that too, actually. Just got told about/invited to it a few days ago by a friend of mine still living there.

Anyway. I don't suppose there's anyone here who can help me defend Descartes against a particular argument, is there?[/QUOTE]

logic again?

if it was nietzche or wittengenstein philosophy I may be able to help you
or anything english literature- based :lol:

Nah, this one's theoretical philosophy. For once I'm actually thinking about whether the objections I'm coming up with really do successfully counter what is being said, and it's difficult.

Ok, so today was bad :-/

I went to get the Ozric Tentacles Cd which - surprise, surprise - was no longer there.
Also, another CD I wanted which has been in Fopp for £5.00 for around 3 months, was no longer there :-/
I ended up getting [I]The hand that feeds[/i] because it was there, I was ****ed if I wasn't getting something, the UK version apparently has 2 bonus tracks, and it came in a cool box.
Luckily I saw [I]Endtroducing[/i] on my way to pay and got that as well. Only £6.99 :)

Aside from that, every single one of my CD shops disappointed me. :(


I also realised that I'm supposed to vote tomorrow, yet have no idea who to vote for.

At least you got a cheap [I]Endtroducing[/I]. I paid full price for mine :) What do you think of it?


[QUOTE=magik]I also realised that I'm supposed to vote tomorrow, yet have no idea who to vote for.[/QUOTE]

I think you should vote Liberal Democrat. And yeah, I know I voted for them so it probably seems like I'd be telling [i]anyone[/i] 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.

student friendly party is good
but vote green!... or conservative

anyway i'm back...

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 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'm going to see it on sat, but as a fan of the books I'm sure to be disapointed
like you- c'est la vie...

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.

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.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]Pfft. I thought they made far too big a deal out of the whole Arthur-Trillian thing :-/[/QUOTE]

Yeah, especially considering book-wise there really is no thing. Did you think she was good or bad though? That was the word that was missing.

Oh, okay. Well, it seems to be commonly agreed that the only really essential thing they've done is [i]Remain in Light[/i]. 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 [i]Speaking in Tongues[/i]), so I'm not sure if I'd recommend it as a first album.

My favourites of the ones I have are [i]Talking Heads '77[/i] (an excellent, excellent debut, which include Superpeer's favourite TH song, I think) and [i]Fear of Music[/i], which is kind of like a transitional sound between TH77 and RIL. So those two would probably be my top recommendations.

Other than that, [i]More Songs About Buildings and Food[/i] 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. [i]Speaking in Tongues[/i] 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.

About CD shopping, my last escapade landed me:

Character - Dark Tranquillity
My Arms, Your Hearse - Opeth
Trigger EP- In Flames
The Oncoming Storm - Unearth

[QUOTE=Med57]munky, definitely get [i]Remain In Light[/i]. 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:[/QUOTE]

Quiet you :angry[font=verdana]:[/font]

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 [i]Look into the Eyeball[/i], 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:
[QUOTE=Johnny]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.[/QUOTE]
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 [I]such[/I] 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 [I]Meat Is Murder [/I] and [I]The Queen Is Dead [/I] by [B]the Smiths [/B] 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.

Thanks. I think the one I saw was self-titled, though.

Med, are you still looking for the Deltron 3030 cd?

Lately, I've been digging Elliot Smith. I got With Teeth, as well, so I have been listening to that.

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.
