If you like jazz, then this picture is going to be interesting.

Thanks Macnas–great site.

7630. Macnas - 9/24/2004 1:43:26 PM

Isn't it though? Even to a non-jazz head like me, there is something cool about seeing all those artists together.

Plus the interface and site as a whole is very well done.

We move towards this year's Nobel prizes. According to Ladbrokes, the UK betting firm, the top candidates for literature are

  1. Adonis

  2. Joyce Carol Oates

  3. Tomas Tranströmer


These three have been touted for years. I wouldn't put any money on Oates. She's too productive.

7632. Macnas - 9/30/2004 5:15:52 PM

Who is Transtromer?

7633. PelleNilsson - 9/30/2004 5:40:56 PM

Tranströmer is a Swedish poet.

I am currently listening to The Buzzcocks "ever fallen in love".

But if you don't mind
I don't mind

Not the same song, but now it's buzzing in my head like a bluebottle.

7636. Macnas - 10/5/2004 6:15:33 PM

Ah yes, tunes that you can't get out of your skull.

Trepanning is the only thing that works.

I am now listening to The Pixies "this monkeys gone to heaven".

7637. Macnas - 10/8/2004 7:53:44 PM

Just before I head home, I am listening to The Damned "Smash it up".

7638. Macnas - 10/8/2004 7:55:11 PM

Ah feck it, I'll hang on for a few more minutes to listen to a particulary kicking Flaming Sideburns "street survivor".

Yo wizardo, left a post for you in technology.

Your response would be appreciated.

An interesting article on Dr.Strangelove, a favourite film of many.

7641. Marc-Albert - 10/13/2004 3:35:24 AM

Paramount Home Entertainment has finally dug into the studio's Jerry Lewis holdings, releasing a superbly mastered suite of 10 Lewis films.



The much-parodied French fascination with Mr. Lewis comes in large part, I suspect, from their habit of seeing Mr. Lewis's sweetly destructive naïf as a representation of something essentially American, just as Americans sentimentally (and inaccurately) believe Maurice Chevalier to represent the French soul.

Hehehehe!

World's greatest DJ, John Peel dies

I really feel I've lost a friend... me and millions of others... erudite, witty, endlessly curious, a trustworthy guide and discoverer of great music, a godfather and a godsend to generations of (not only) British bands... the Pope of BBC Radio 1, dead of a heart attack, in Peru, at 65.

His show has been on the internet for ages, I bitterly regret not following it more often.

7643. alistairconnor - 10/26/2004 5:51:47 PM



Bye bye Uncle John.

7644. Macnas - 10/26/2004 6:03:33 PM

Well fuck it.

And Mike Read still lives. There is no justice.

7645. Ulgine Barrows - 10/28/2004 8:41:41 AM

Never heard of the guy (John Peel), sounds as if I missed out.
Never heard of Mike Read, either.

Well, we can't have those Nobel winners making money, can we?

I just read the funniest beach novel, 2 months too late:
Big Love by Sarah Dunn

She proposes the theory that a man with a big penis can't be faithful, much like the owner of a fast car can't help driving fast.

Got to show off that tool!

Very funny.

Did you know of Dean Reed? even if you did, this article makes good reading.

I asked my GF last night which she liked more, REM or U2. She thought for a few seconds and then said U2.

This is one I could go either way on, depending on what mood I'm in and what day it is and which last good song by one of these groups I've heard. But I put these two groups in the same category and I wonder how other people would compare the two.
