All hail Vibracathedral Orchestra!

Seeing VCO numerous times is one of the pitifully few good things about living in Leeds

Several Good Things from this month's Wire:

Most importantly, in their GoTo: section.....a plug for Fat Cat Records DIY Resource!

Also, a good Primer on Fela Kuti. And a Shirley and Dolly Collins reissue review. Well worth the entry fee.

I'm still trying to decide what I think of this movie...

A friend and I were watching MuchMusic last friday and that video came one... we were all "what the fuck." Very strange. I didn't think I'd ever see it again.

Also PETA people are insane. Or at least a bit strange.

Half an hour of fun
First check the links.

Second read the recommendations and reviews. It's hilarious.

The British legal system forces children to be vaccinated against MMR against their mother's wishes.

Dear musician,

I address to you on behalf of teacher's council of our musical college. More than 25 years we attended training to music of children from 5 till 14 years.

Unfortunately, because of the heavy economic situation which have been usual now in Russia, we on an extent several years on receive any financial support from the federal budget. The support rendered to us from the budget of the Moscow government - is minimum. I want to explain, that we do not collect a tuition fee in our college as, otherwise, the majority of parents can not pay training of children. In view of the set forth above reasons for us all is more difficult to acquaint children with music. We had simply catastrophic situation with a teaching material, in particular with sound materials.

We shall be very grateful, if you can send us any records of music on CD or compact-cassettes.
We would be grateful to receive items with damaged packaging.

YOUR HELP IS NECESSARY FOR US!

Yours faithfully and hope to the aid of,

Nickolay Carmanow,
The Director.

meau meau,
I was surprised to see how insane my city is as far as light emission goes. I thought vancouver would be bad, but it's pretty good, by a long shot! We do have a predilection for massively lighted shopping complexes, though. Not to mention bizzarely intense residential lighting.

Also, I recieved my first cell phone today. Now that's weird... I remember swearing I'd never get one.

Excellent. Introductions weren't as bad as maybe I imagined. I apologise Ken.

Thanks everyone for pattern/maths help. Will post anything that comes of this. Alison, I haven't seen Pi, but I have wanted to for years. Rubbish I know. I really like Requiem for a Dream though.

As we're all g33ks can someone help me out with a problem. Trying to set up proftpd for a client and am having trouble getting it to read the Virtual Users from the AuthUserFile. If anyone has any experience with this contact me off list.

Sorry, normally I wouldn't ask but I am pulling my hair out.


Isn't imagination a prerequisit for existence?

Two by Debord:

37
The world at once present and absent which the spectacle makes visible is the world of the commodity dominating all that is lived. The world of the commodity is thus shown for what it is, because its movement is identical to the estrangement of men among themselves and in relation to their global product.

165
Capitalist production has unified space, which is no longer bounded by external societies. This unification is at the same time an extensive and intensive process of banalization. The accumulation of commodities produced in mass for the abstract space of the market, which had to break down all regional and legal barriers and all the corporative restrictions of the Middle Ages that preserved the quality of craft production, also had to destroy the autonomy and quality of places. This power of homogenization is the heavy artillery which brought down all Chinese walls.

The imagination of the US Defence Department.... which should also be banned. Betting on future coups, terrorism and state-sponsored assassinations!!!

And if Stonehenge was built so that it looked like a female sexual organ when viewed from above, how were people supposed to see that? As far as we have been able to tell, they didn't have hot-air balloons in prehistoric times.'
People with no imagination should be banned from scientific study.

i program / develop using .net/c#, about which i have been known to wax lyrical to the point of evangelising ... a fair chunk of time is taken up with cms development using php/mysql, but plan to do less ... enjoy watching flocking birds, baking bread & swimming in rivers

On your bedstand then? (wink)

I am 32, I design on occasion and also have a fascination with growing things. I've been known to do a bit of yoga, I knit lovely socks and I will kick your ass in backgammon or cribbage.

Introductions always make me think of 'Start' by The Jam.

"It's not important for you to know my name,
Nor I to know yours.
If we get by for two minutes only,
It will be enough!".

I'm 33, a data networks engineer and spend a lot of my spare time [when I'm not working away] either making music or trying to learn PHP. I do not have any gay porn inexplicably living in my fridge.

ALRIGHT?
posted by Ken , 3:52 AM Þ 

Introductions? At the risk of repeating myself, as far as proffession goes I'm a 20 year old fine arts student (dean's list) in Alberta Canada. That's actually too much information. Who cares?
