    Political thread be smart or dont comment, Russia Georgia NWO.

    You did sort of but you didn't really say it... a cross between an inference and a misreading. I suppose Reagan style nuke subs would be accompanied by grandstanding announcements on the news and all just to get the whole world freaking out. I think the Russian response is a nasty warning...

    Political thread be smart or dont comment, Russia Georgia NWO.

    I'm kind of glad there ain't no nuclear subs over there actually. I couldn't stand the tension. I see Russia has been bombing univerisities so it's thugsville, no doubt. That said it doesn't seem unprovoked. Apparently the Ossetia region was in dispute after the fall of the USSR so Russia...

    Smash Brothers - Fear Factor = FINALLY HERE!!

    Nice work lads. Cover looks good too. I was wondering whether you would stick with that Mario / Luigi thing. It's hinted at but it's not too obvious.

    Thoughts of an oldskool section?

    I remember the old old school when nothing after 1983 could be admitted into the pantheon. Run D.M.C. with 'Sucker M.C.s' were considered the beginning of the new school. At least according to some ancient early 90s Source mag I once had. Not too many who'd call Run D.M.C. that now.

    Yeah, Illmatic blew me away and he never did that to me again.

    EMI’s New Boss Sees Cracks in Music World

    You may be right, but I don't know about that. As the baby boomers age and have less of a hold on the culture / media machines of film, tv, etc I think the spotlight will be focussed a lot less on that 60-70s era. I think a lot of the music will last and persist in a way that, say, Bing Crosby...

    EMI’s New Boss Sees Cracks in Music World

    I don't think so, it's what the kids know, it's here for a long time to come. Myspace might not live up to it's promise but if it doesn't something similar will do it. I don't know if this Guy Hands is a guaranteed success for EMI as he seems to be generating a lot of resistance in his...

    Happy Friday 13th!

    Actually it's the first minutes of Saturday the 14th for me right now. But I had an appropriately ugly day, spent most of it in bed with the flu. I hope your 13th is just as ill as mine was ill crew.

    New nas song N.I.G.G.E.R

    Yeah, I know. But ain't too many who can deal with the issues in the articulate style of Mr D.

    If You Could Work With Any Under The Radar Producer Who Would It Be???

    I've gotta say Madlib, but if he's under the radar it's not too far under. Hell, Prince Paul would be a privelege.

    New nas song N.I.G.G.E.R

    This was OK, but it probably won't get me to buy the album. Sincock I'm a honky, but I wouldn't doubt this issue is real and personal to Nas and just cause Chuck D dealt with it doesn't make the issue disappear. Here's a shot at the C.R.A.C.K.E.R. lyric. We are C.R.A.C.K.E.R. and we...

    Just When You Think People Couldnt Be Any Colder

    Fucking hell! Unbelievable. Anyone ever see that Mike Moore skit where he set up cameras in three cities around the world and then got people to pretend to be dead in front of each one? The plan was to see who was going to offer help first. I think the Canadians won.

    The Begining Of Marshall Law

    It's easy to say that all this killing and violence is human nature, but it isn't happening everywhere. Environmental factors come into play; education, opportunity, poverty and the influence of the media. If the media didn't influence behaviour then we wouldn't have an advertising industry...

    Marketing my new album...

    A lot of universities put out newspapers or magazines and will usually have a review section. If you get a copy to them you might get a look in. I used to write reviews for one of those mags and the record companies used to ignore us regarding hip-hop and send all their rock stuff. That used to...

    How to make that sound when the record stops

    Couldn't you automate the pitch on a sample and pull the pitch down to get the effect. Move it pretty quick to replicate the sound of the stop button being hit or slowly to replicate the sound of the power being turned off and the deck just winding down. The other option is to check out a few...

    "Long-term Cannabis Users May Have Structural Brain Abnormalities"

    The size of the sample population was a criticism raised by other Australian scientists. I'd have to agree with that because of the potential for statistical anomalies. For example, perhaps most of the pot smokers had just happened to have taken a lot of speed at one stage which harmed their...

    "Long-term Cannabis Users May Have Structural Brain Abnormalities"

    I heard this on the news yesterday. It was immediately criticised for the small sample population. 15 users is not a lot of people. The experiment has some validity but can't really be taken as confirmation until it has been repeated. Other factors could be the cause of the differences. For...
