Not nominative determinism, but here at Aber we also have a Dr. Death, shame he doesn't do research into the politics of Mutually Assured Destruction or something ha! www.aber.ac.uk/en/interpol/staff/academic/crd/

a stunningly decent uk hip hop tune. i rap fast but this is just mental. there were some posts a few weeks ago about fast rapping but i reckon this is the fastest rapping i've ever heard. it sounds beautiful too!

As in nice and melodic with no real understanding of what the hell they're saying.

Very rough draft of the first track in a potential four-track EP loosely based on heartbeats. My first play with Reason in two years and it's beginning to sound ok for ninety mins work. The drums need cutting up and rearranging more and there's shitloads to do with the arrangement, but any suggestions or comments gratefully accepted.

watch the Lionel Blair/Una Stubbs Give us a Clue comeback!
( , Sat 5 Mar 2011, 11:05, Reply)

Give Us A Clue certainly provided many memorable moment as the players performed against a strict time limit. We particular recall one very early show when Una Stubbs scored maximum points after the teams took only a few seconds to recognise her Fanny By Gaslight.
The experts expert on Give Us A Clue, was Lionel Blair. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes!

They are used to a lack of "personal space" :-).

Not even the locals want to use/bomb the airline and there are always spare seats to spread out on. And they are really cheap.

mine would be
a) Fly aeroflot, or similar, their safety record is so poor even Russians try to fly anything else.
If personal space is such a big issue buy your own plane...

Isn't this just a clever way of spinning the fact that their planes are half-empty because no-one can afford to fly business class any more?
( , Sat 5 Mar 2011, 12:44, Reply)

the experimentings wot woz dun long time back, before interwebz n all, it verily did show, that 'tis all relative, like. So, when, like, there be eeps n epps ov peoples, den u, like, have a rather much smaller personal space. So, people are more comfortable being close to others on planes (or in lifts, for example) than they would be in a large open waiting area WITH NO OTHER PEOPLE AROUND, innit?
They do try to make themselves look ever so clever, but do seem ever so ignorant. They insult their audience, and expect their audience to give them money? This isn't communist Russia, m'dears.
Fuck yeah.

Bit London-centric, but the London Miles Gallery is open today from 12-4 if you're stuck for something to do. They aren't normally open on weekends but they very kindly said they'd be there if I wanted to go, I said I'd try and get more people to turn up so it's not just me they are opening for. Lowbrow art stuff.
Pens and needles is the current exhibition and it features in part a friend of mine.
