I'm surprised that schools based on sexual segregation still exist. What is the point? Also I ought to add, that almost everyone I know who went to a private school *coughGLEN ALMOND*cough* ended up with severe mental problems and most normal people would refer to them as "cunts".

It's quite funny that parents will spend all that money sending their kid to a school like that, and they still come out the other side as ignorant twats.

Pfft, women, fuck em.

it is a joke, you moron.

sex and the city - shit, should be renamed to "the sad existence of a bunch of hideous slappers". Might be more funny if some of them caught syphillis or AIDS or got raped and killed in an NYC alleyway.

the smoking room - shit, died on it's arse, made going to bed early an attractive alternative, how the hell did it ever get commisioned?

i am not an animal - shit, london living ipod wearing trendy fucks failing miserably in attempting to emulate the genius that is Monkey Dust.

southpark - shit, it's like punch n judy for the 21st century.

the simpsons - shit, please just take it into a dark alley way and put a bullet in it's head.

sorry...was just updating...the ftp went shitty....should be ok now

Yeah got it. "Syntax" is interesting. What are you using to make these?

it just seems to load a blank page...

How about a sponsored swim, that might raise a bit of cash.

Take heed.

So is that.

I don't understand why you think an album has more potentional to be life-changing, if it has lyrical content. Please explain.

However' date=' albums with lyrics are, on the whole, more likely to be truly life-changing.[/quote']

That's a pretty rediculous thing to say.

Uhh that's the point.

Yeah I agree, music is a subjective thing and everyone's entitled to an opinion, including me.

a point to add to silly squables... some people dont rush out to find the newest materials you know' date=' some people are just happy with the way there music taste goes... it might be guff to you and me... but its something to them

It's an interesting point, allow me to indulge in an analogy here. Personally, I don't find the Mona Lisa, Van Goghs Sunflowers, or Edvard Munch's Scream to be particularly inspiring, stunning or relevant, beyond the realm of the study of art history. They are museum pieces, they represent the forms of the past.

If someone said to me, "yeah man I'm an art lover, and I'm really into van gogh, that shit is amazing!", I would simply laugh at them and consider them an idiot and a philistine, it's as if they had picked up a copy of the bluffers guide to art and were reciting it verbatim.

This is no different than saying "wow pink floyd dark side of the moon, is amazing" or "hendrix is amazing" or "metallica changed my life". It's cheap and it's cliched and it's absurd, and completely disconnected from reality.

i like the bit about saving you from the childish bullshit while you're posting the most petulant spoilt brat of a reply to an honest thread i've ever read in my life.

that's just how it comes across to me.

surely the point of this thread was albums that have changed you're listening habits and or way you look at things. not who listens to the coolest freshest sounds. i coulda listed a whole heap of obscure stuff(i know mowax' date=' et all aren't exactly obscure but there's a point in here) but it wouldn't have really been what changed my life.

Err well those are actually a couple of albums and labels which did really change my listening habits and the way I look at things, so like it or not, they really did have a profound effect on me, which is why I posted to this thread.

I know I may have sounded snide and contemptous but you know, frankly I find it pretty depressing that so many people here have such a boring and simple taste in music. Infact, I could suggest that most of the albums people have cited so far, affected my life too, in the sense that they put me off that whole genre.

It's quite interesting how bland and similar a lot of your choices are.

Personally, the first Portishead album was a real eye opener for me. Luke Vibert - Big Soup, was another one around that time which I found really inspiring and further influenced my taste in music. There was soooo much fresh and awesome stuff coming out on MoWax and NinjaTune around that mid-nineties period, oh yeah and Warp too. These labels saved me from the childish bullshit that is rock and made me aware of whole new realms of intelligent music. I hate to think what I would have become if it wasn't for those 3 labels and their amazing artists. Probably something like you, perish the thought.

What the fuck has his paintings got to do with that trail? Or is this just scapegoating AGAIN?!

hahah the accused also claims to smoke 4.5 oz of hash a week, personally i think thats a total and utter lie.

For us to live any other way was nuts, to us those goody good

people who worked shitty jobs, for bum pay checks, and took the

subway to work every day, worried about their bills were dead,

they were suckers, they had no balls. If we wanted something we

just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad

believe me they never complained again, it was just our routine,

we didn't even think about it.

'Most men will not swim before they are able to.' Is not that witty? Naturally they won't swim. They were born for the solid earth, not for the water. And naturally they won't think. They are made for life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, what's more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown.

Bush just won the election with more votes than any other President in history' date=' so I would say that horse has bolted. If anything, many Americans will feel the President is being over-generous in his donation. The US government is the single biggest contributor to the disaster relief program, much larger than Russia or China.[/quote']

It's worth pointing out that bush won by the slimmest margin ever in the 216 years of American elections, aside from woodrow wilson.

also:

"Two hundred and ten million adult Americans could have registered and voted this year. Sixty million actually showed up at the polls and voted for Bush. In other words, not even three in 10 Americans liked Bush well enough to make the effort to vote for him. "

The US Government initially offered $15 million' date=' then upped it to $35 million. They were eventually persuaded after an outcry to raise it to $350 million. To put that into perspective, they are currently spending [i']1 billion dollars a week in Iraq...

Personally I find it a bit sick, the way governments and the media are going mad over this tsunami thing, but completely silent about the estimated 100,000 innocent Iraqi's killed over the past 2 years.

2 friends of my family were in Phuket on the beach just before it all happened, and they had to head up to their hotel room to get something they had forgotten (on the 3rd floor). When they came out of their room, everything was destroyed. 650 people died on that particular beach.

Lucky eh?

Still haven't heard from another friend who is out there at the moment.
