  1. I havent had the pleasure of watching this young woman yet. Cant wait to check out her serve and volley.
  2. federer will breeze through the mens, and serena will easily win the womens.
  3. They should just re-issue it the way the clash intended it to be. Most of the time these previously unreleased tracks were unreleased for a reason - they suck. London Calling is an all time classic, i hope the bastards dont spoil it.
  4. AC/DC's best album is without a shadow of a doubt "highway to hell". "walk all over you" "touch too much" "love hungry man" awesome stuff.
  5. yeah, england are knocked out eh? sad that...... :good job: Never mind, heres a pic of rui costa to cheer you up.....oops, now what i done
  6. welcome to the site man, and dont sweat the small stuff.
  7. HolyLiason has a right to post stuff like this. personally i found the article interesting, and pretty spot on in its summation of winMX. Accusing liason of spam and calling him a fuckwit because he posts something you don't happen to agree with is well out of line for someone claiming to be a moderator. People post stuff from other websites here all the friggin time, so why is this considered spam? Especially since it is something the original poster actually wrote himself.
  8. Id be a rich man if i had a tenner for every time id seen that. But then i do hang around with geeks.
  9. the spud girls new avatar is a roaring invitation to masturbation. I only wish i could put into words how much i worship her.
  10. Yoda getting pwned: http://forum.p2pchat.net/index.php?board=6...ay;threadid=370
  11. Its no very original though, he could of made up something stupid himself instead of ripping Lewis carroll.
  12. I vote moonman, cos he keeps copying all my damn threads! In the ideal world wingnut2600 would be automatically banned from every online community.
  13. I think the lyric you mean was about being hit by a "ten ton truck". A classic song. The smiths do have a no undeserved rep for being a tad depressing, for example check out the lyrics to the classic "heaven knows im miserable now": I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? alot of their lyrics were tongue in cheek though, and there is also alot of dark humour in there too.
  14. Uk indie is a genre which i grew up listening to, and which over the years has produced some sensational bands and fantastic music. Many of these great albums are virtually unknown outside the U.K so the point of this thread is to point out a few key albums so anyone who is interested in the genre has a launching pad to explore further. Also i think some of this music deserves a wider audience. Joy Division - Closer charts lead singer Ian Curtis' descent into deep depression, which would result in his suicide shortly after the release of this album, just as the band stood on the brink of international stardom. Relentlessly dark, deep and depressing, this album holds some profound insights into Curtis' mental state and into depression generally. The album is also stunning musically; brilliantly arranged and produced by the band and legendary producer Martin Hannet, the albums signature is the gut wrenching dynamics and snaking rhythms which alternately wind and unwind, echoing the anguished shuttling between release and tension, of placidity and mania of the manically depressive lead singers mental state. After Curtis died, the group changed their name to New Order and surfaced shortly after with a new lead singer and a very different sound. The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow This is the quintessential U.K indie band. probably any newcomer to UK indie should listen to this first, because if you don't like this you won't like any UK indie music. This album is not as lauded as The Queen is dead, their 1985 tour de force, but I think this collection of outakes and singles gives a more rounded view of the groups style, and the live tracks, especially "William it was really nothing" and "what difference does it make?" have a rawness and an edge which is missing from the studio versions. The lyrics, which were praised for their shameless intellectualism and and glorification of teen angst and existentialism sometimes come across as slightly pretentious, but I still think Morriseys brilliance as a lyricist glows throughout, and there is alot of dark humour among the bleakness. The Smiths imploded in a bout of heroin and cocaine addiction, infighting and egoism in 1987, after only three years recording, but in that time made six albums, including three essential classics: this, The Queen is dead, and their eponymous debut album. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy The Jesus and Mary Chain are the best band ever to come out of Scotland, and this is their greatest triumph. There is nothing complicated about this music. It's wall to wall feedback, screaming guitars and thunderous beats, while the lyrics are all ridiculously over the top odes to sex, girls, motorbikes and drugs. When i bought my first CD player, this was the first CD i bought. My vinyl version was trashed even then. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses I'm led to believe that the stone roses second album (the second coming) was quite popular in the States, but in truth it is nowhere near a patch on their eponymous debut L.P. The rhythm section in this band were top drawer, while John Squire layered the album with wagonloads of icy cool guitar hooks. Some of the music on this album is truly inspiring, and even after many listens has the power to uplift like very little music can. Supergrass - I Should Coco Exhuberant, raucous and fuelled by a heady cocktail of drugs and alcohol, supergrass reignited the UK indie scene with this album in the mid 90s. Fast, loose tales of sex and young abandon are told by this English trio.
  15. I also enjoyed the es5 forums, although i never used the app. Like wingnut i also posted under an alias. I may have to check the place out again.
  16. I bought my Russian bride online. And also some sextoys. fun! :good job:
  17. Ive read some of Thoreaus stuff, but not Walden. I picked a collection of his works up from a second hand bookstore a couple of years back but never found time to read the whole thing, because, like you some of his stuff i don't really care for. His essay on civil disobedience is well worth reading though. I never have read any of Skinner's stuff, although i always meant to read Walden. Some of his ideas on penal reform appeal to me.
  18. thats a great idea! But its by no means an easy read. Try to get hold of an edition with good explanatory footnotes. The one revised by L.A Selby-Bigge and PH Nidditch is generally reckoned to be the best. let me know if the ape and the sushi master is worth checking out.
  19. i am reading a treatise of human nature by David Hume. Studied it quite a bit while at uni, so ive read and reread most of it already but its well worth reading again. Very influential skepticism which was light years ahead of its time.
  20. Now this sounds like a great idea. A bit of competition can only be a positive thing. I think beatking should expand their filesharing forums to mirror those at zeropaid, then really go to war.
  21. i only really post here, zeropaid and JREF http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/ ,a website for skeptics . also at p2pchat.net occasionally, when i feel like trolling - they have some real asshole admin over there.
  22. This album is absolutely immense. Many have tried to copy this album, none have ever come close. This is by far the best rap album ever made. follow up was pretty good too.
  23. Now here is an album which is completely overrated. Its not even one of the best beatles albums, never mind the best album. Songs like "fixing a hole" and "shes leaving home" are boring, boring , boring. Lucy in the sky rocks though! Sorry for bringing up an ancient thread, i really felt i had to get that off my chest.
