Just saw last night 'Lust, Caution' a chinese movie by Ang Lee.
It was fantastic. I recommend it.

Not surprising, I read that the average height of the US GI in WW2 was 1,73m.


P.

On the United nations yearly report, it is mentioned that the American male averages only 1,75m same as in 1944, mostly due to the large latino immigration of the last few decades.
As for the celebrity heights mentioned in the website, it's probably mostly bullshit for men, as they need to keep a ...

Heligoland sounds fantastic, I had a preview last night. It's their best in a while. Less angst than the previous ones..

Solitude by Robert Kull (I read a lot of books) ;-)

In February 2001, Kull journeyed to a remote island in the Patagonia wilderness with enough supplies and gear to live for a year. He wanted to explore the breadth and depth of solitude and find answers to some of his most pressing spiritual ...

Just read, "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian Jaynes. The title is scary but it's an easy read. Very interesting.
Also 'A Separate Reality' from Castaneda and "The Aleph" by Jorge Luis Borges.
I generally read several books at the same time as I get bored ...

Hi,
I was a Duran Duran fan for a year or 2, I found 7 and the Ragged Tigers texture intriguing at the time as well as Arcadia, but S. Lebon's voice... it's a disaster, it was ok in the 80's let's say. When I listen now, I find the voice annoying and destructive, it prevents any artistry from coming ...

Rytm to Niesmiertelnosc by Jacaszek

Thanks, just downloaded his album Treny from Itunes, fantastic music.

I don't know, FlyingPig, I am sincerely surprised any musician could actually be encouraged by the SMG remix. I suppose my outlook is slightly different due to being a drummer, because it sounds to me as if this person made no effort at all to synch up the original vocals to the rhythm he devised ...

I received my Wire yesterday. Strange that they gave a 6th place after the bad review they gave it in October. it wasn't a prolific year in terms of innovation when you look at the top 10. Animal Collective at the 30th spot, was a bit harsh after the fantastic review they gave it. It seems like the ...

It seems everyone's kidding themselves. Frankly it's been the worst year I suppose since 2005.
P.

It's a shame that you haven't found any music to be all that appealing this year. But how exactly are we kidding ourselves? It's my understanding that the thread was basically started so that we ...

Frankly it's been the worst year I suppose since 2005. The big names are in a collective writer's block. Electronic music sounds more and more the same. Even the young virtuosos, like Patrick Watson, are in a downturn.
