  1. Dubstep

    Been trying to get into this, as it seems both acceptable to the young and hip as well as doddering old farts like me who still protest that d'n'b ain't dead. I really love the Vex'd stuff and caught their recent DJ set on the Mary Anne Hobbs radio show, which was just excellent. I still have a basic problem, in that the subbass sometimes has frequencies that actually make me feel physically unwell, but that just proves its evil qualities, IMO.

    Anyone else dig? Any recomendations?

  15. Batman - The Dark Knight

    Saw it on Friday and was fairly bored. It's not a terrible film by any means and there are certainly great bits in it and great performances, also. By the end, it just seemed like a huge mish-mash of what-the-hell-is-going-on???? Perhaps it's too clever for me. I certainly felt it was trying to convince me of that. What I am convinced of is that I probably won't bother with another 12A summer blockbuster featuring men-in-tights.

    Was he at least not meant to play around the time Noisia did? I'm sure I remember seeing him written down.

    also, what exactly is to expect from the Pendulum dj set?

    Lively crowd of mainly younger people. Mainly big party tunes. I've been to two massives where El Hornet was headlining and had a pretty good time at each. I'm not really a Pendulum fan, either, though I have to admit I heart their Voodoo People remix, even if it is a bit cheez.

  21. Which digital tv aerial?

    I got a Telecam TCE2000 from Argos for a tenner. In town (King St area) 3rd floor tenement flat with a south facing window. Pointed the thing roughly at Durris and got every freeview channel after a bit of adjustment and rescanning. Slight and occasional signal breakup on the beeb channels, although that'll probably get worse in poor weather conditions.

    So, it's maybe not a bad buy is basically it :up:

    The 'heavyweight physics prof' just shows the vast effort that needs to be invested if we aren't all to be talking about lute strynges via some news-sheet in 20 years time. Of course the obvious answer is to have vast solar power stations in orbit, operating at an efficiency that is impossible on the ground, and beaming the power down to earth via microwave transmitters. All of which technology exists in the here and now, without waiting for thorium tech to be invented (awesome as it sounds), at a colossal price. However this needs to be started before Peak Oil conditions kick in, as the resources needed will be astronomical.

    Whenever I say this people develop a weird glazed look, or laugh hysterically, but solar farming would easily work in the Sahara, as well as southern Europe. Lateral thinking is needed on this matter.

    For that matter, we should be up on the moon, getting that Helium-3! It's totally worth it, the energy contained in one kilogram could run NYC for a year! Unfortunately, we seem to have lost our ambition in that area at some point during the cold war. Hopefully, the chinese will pick up the ball!
