Bardo Pond. Perhaps Alan Cynic could persuade them when he's over at Terrastock....

These emails are themselves viruses, by causing panic and clogging up inboxes. That's why people do it, I guess. Classic signs to look for in such hoaxes include reference to genuine companies (to give the email credibility) and ridiculous statements such as "Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet". Genuine companies would never say such things.

Spiritualized being used to sell Toffee Crisps.

I thought the gig with Damo Suzuki at the Tunnels was fantastic. Album is via Daniel Patrick Quinn http://www.suilvenrecordings.com/ (not actually out yet)

You can get the whole trilogy from Amazon for 13.94. Sounds like a bargain to me. Go to the URL bifta23 previously quoted and go down to the 'Perfect Partner' bit.

Yeah, I've got that somewhere. Haven't listened to it for years though...

I also recommend all the names cited by ragudave. Plus Gavin Bryars - his 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' makes me cry every time I listen to it.

The one with the submarine is 'The Temple' I believe. It's online here http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/thetemple.htm

I'd just like to second the Kafka recommendation - his short stories are amazing, I like them even more than his novels. Personal favourites include 'In the Penal Colony' and 'Investigations of a Dog'. Fantastic allegories. Some translations are better than others though.

It's listed on seetickets.com as 8 face value, 9.25 total including booking fee. I'm one of the chumps who missed them last time, so I'm looking forward to this.

With Sonic Boom supporting, according to his website http://www.sonic-boom.info/news.php That's made my day....

Now don't sue me if I'm wrong here, but I thought the PSP AC adapter worked worldwide, rated 100 - 240v so it should work without a converter. Also, the machine itself (and the games) are region-free, so there should be no problem there. UMDs are region-coded but Japan is Region 2 just like we are, so you should be fine I think.

Actually, I think I might have that the wrong way round. Anyway, we've cracked it....

In the USA and Canada, they call a quintillion a trillion, yes.

There are 43 quintillion possible combinations with the Rubik's cube.

Since this one (I think) hasn't been mentioned, I've always had a soft spot for The Butthole Surfers' version of Hurdy Gurdy Man.

According to the Radio Times, King Creosote will be on this show tonight so it could be well worth tuning in. The recent Lemon Tree show was great.

The RGU IT system has blacklisted this site, so all I get is a big 'Access Denied'. Pretty ironic....

Sorry to be so dull in my first ever post, but....are doors still for 8pm?
