Bomb #20: Why...that would mean that...I really don't know what the outside universe is really like at all for certain.
Doolittle: That's it! That's it!
Bomb #20: Intriguing. I wish I had more time to discuss this matter.
Doolittle: Why don't you have more time?
Bomb #20: Because I must detonate in 75 seconds.

Tune ID: If you can identify this tune from 1998 or before, please contact me.

Buying/Selling/Trading: If it's in my collection and I rated it 2 or under then it is *almost* definitely for trade and if I rated it 3 then it might be for trade for something in my want list.

It's highly unlikely that I'm getting rid of anything rated 4 or more, so unless you are offering something rare don't expect a reply to your offer of '10 euro for record x'...

I am open to offers of items in my wantlist for sale or trade: if you have something to sell me then quote me a price - I'm not going to guess how much you want for it.

The stage is set for England's last and decisive match in this World Cup qualifying group, England in red, San Marino in blue, England needing to win by a seven goal margin and hope that Poland can do them a favour in Poznan against Holland [as San Marino kick off] I'm sure you're aware now of what's at stake. And Bacciocchi, number nine, picks the ball up straight away and San Marino launch the first attack. Oh and a mistake by Stuart Pearce and San Marino have scored! I don't believe this! - John Motson "describing" Davide Gualtieri's 8.3 seconds record setting fastest ever world cup goal in their November 1993 game against England (which England won 7-1, Holland beating Poland 3-1).

You may set it down as a rule that the rich, the possessors of great wealth, had no moral right to it as based upon desert, for either their fortunes belonged to the class of inherited wealth, or else, when accumulated in a lifetime, necessarily represented chiefly the product of others, more or less forcibly or fraudulently obtained. Edward Bellamy

The only reason they have not monopolized the daylight and the air is that it is not possible to do it. If it were possible to construct huge gasometers and to draw together and compress within them the whole of the atmosphere, it would have been done long ago, and we should have been compelled to work for them in order to get money to buy air to breathe. And if that seemingly impossible thing were accomplished tomorrow, you would see thousands of people dying for want of air - or of the money to buy it - even as now thousands are dying for want of the other necessities of life. - Robert Tressell in The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (1910)

Regulation, like taxation, is unfashionable because those whose freedom it threatens are well-represented in public life, while those whose freedom it enhances are heard less often. Most of the press is owned by multi-millionaires. Most political parties are funded by multi-millionaires. What multi-millionaires want is a better world for multi-millionaires. A better world for them tends to be a worse one for everyone else. George Monbiot (2001)

Corporate social responsibility is an oxymoron... as is the related notion that corporations can be relied upon to promote the public interest. Corporations have only one duty: to promote their own and their owners' interests. They have no capacity, and their executives no authority, to act out of a genuine sense of responsibility to society, to avoid causing harm to people and the environment, or to work to advance the public good in ways that are unrelated to their own self-interest. Deregulation thus rests upon the suspect premise that corporations will respect social and environmental interest without being compelled by government to do so. No one would seriously suggest that individuals should regulate themselves, that laws against murder, assault, and theft are unnecessary because people are socially responsible. Yet oddly, we are asked to believe that corporate persons -- institutional psychopaths who lack any sense of moral conviction and who have the power and motivation to cause harm and devastation in the world -- should be left free to govern themselves. Joel Bakan (The Corporation, 2004)

People would say to me, "Bill, you vote for Clinton, he's gonna raise your taxes - a vote for Clinton is a vote for higher taxes"... See, I have news for you, folks: the reason I didn't vote for George Bush is because George Bush (along with Ronald Reagan) presided over an administration whose policies towards South America included genocide. So the reason I didn't vote for him is BECAUSE HE'S A MASS MURDERER!! I'll pay that extra nickel on a litre of petrol just knowing that little brown kids aren't being clubbed to death like baby seals in Honduras so Pepsi can put a plant down there. Bill Hicks (1992)

I knew Billy Clinton became one of the boys when he bombed Iraq. Remember that? It was just a little news story for two days, isn't that interesting? He launched 22 cruise missiles against Baghdad in retaliation for the alleged assassination attempt against George Bush which failed. We killed six innocent people, launching twenty two - I think - three million dollars-a-piece missiles on Baghdad killing six innocent people.... I think that's a little bit overdoing it if you ask me. You know what we should have done? We should have embarrassed the Iraqians. You know what I mean? Here's how we could do it: WE should have assassinated Bush, and said "That's how you do it towel head, don't fuck with us!". And see, if Bush had been the one who would have died there would have been NO loss of innocent life.... I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know, that's true, it's provable, it's not, I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smokey room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little screen comes down... and a big guy with a cigar goes "Roll the film" and it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before that looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president "Any questions?" "Uh just what my agenda is?" "First we bomb Baghdad". "You got it". Bill Hicks The Elite

We have long understood that words have different meanings for the oppressors and the oppressed. Freedom is one such word. It has always been so. It is a law of life. When you spit in the face of the colonialists they will always call it rain. Ho Chi Minh (1890 - 1969)

without economic democracy - at least some form of democratic control of industry, finance and services - then political democracy will always be at the mercy of a greedy and predatory economic hierarchy. Capitalism and democracy, in other words, are hostile to each other and the continuing failure of British Labour to challenge capitalism has undermined the democracy for which it pretends to stand. Indeed the net result of a hundred years of compromising with capitalism has ended with New Labour, an allegedly social democratic organisation which has surrendered both socialism and democracy. Paul Foot (1937 - 2004) in The Vote: How It Was Won And How It Was Undermined

Hi-Lo - Dirty Towel EP - 16-Sep-05 08:43 AM
These inscrutable Austrians have pressed one twenty-second long tune onto the entire AA side and ended it in a closed loop!?

Nevermind, it's funky enough and the flip is more substantial with a nice down-tempo dubby-tech-house thing followed by a more up-tempo Maurizio/Basic Channel type loopy affair with nice understated strings.

Coldcut - Let Us Replay (DJ Promo) - 06-May-05 11:11 AM
The Cornelius mix here is particularly impressive. Sounds like Keigo Oyamada entered a portal into his brain with Atomic Moog 2000 playing on the portable stereo. Extra weird. Almost equally impressive is the Silent Poets take on Border, a nice mix of ambient and breaks. Both make simple but effective use of stereo to enhance the fun.

Cajmere - Horny (Remixes) - 05-May-05 05:41 PM
Typical eccentric Cajmere percussion on the Horny Toad Mix with a minimal sax line grooving along and building it up and with an occasional crazy voice that sounds much like Tony the tiger from a famous cereal brand ad exclaiming 'I'm hor-nee'. Grrrrreat.

The Me So Horny Mix is also wicked and adds a sleazy jazz vibe with nice, richly harmonic horns and introduces the business woman from Full Metal Jacket declaring 'me so hor-nee' too. Lovely.

The fabulous Horny Toad Remix eluded me for ages because some geezer in a club told me that it was Roy Davis Junior I'm Hungry.

Urban Culture - The Wonders Of Wishing - 28-Apr-05 02:39 PM
One side starts beatless with a looped voice saying something like 'a shoe shoe shoe shoe a shoe shoe shoe' before the kick comes in while the other kicks from the start. Typically great Carl Craig percussion, definitely dance floor friendly.

Wonderful music but with an indifferent pressing and poor fading.

Grace Jones - Private Life / She's Lost Control - 27-Apr-05 01:55 PM
One of the loveliest cover versions ever (Private Life) coupled with one of the worst. No matter what the musicians are doing on this they just can't compete with how awful Grace Jones sounds here, although maybe that's the point. 10/10 for the A, 1/10 for the B.
