Fucking hell. Even Bono was having a sook about piracy this week. FUcking BONO!!!! How much money does that hipocrite cunt need? If he's having money problems, maybe he should start flying his hats econy rather than business class. Utter, utter twat. I'm sure Shadow's not hard up for a buck either....

Haha that was actually a very insightful article.

I have no economics training so that's a disclaimer.

Why would taxes go up? Wouldn't they go down due to all the extra revenue created by taxing previously untaxed goods, and the money saved on the drug war? Why wouldn't this money spent on drugs still go through the world financial market?

all art will survive no matter what, I believe that very strongly. sorry Dan I gotta disagree with you again. a brilliant French philosopher Beaudrillard once said: "art does not die because there is no more good art, it dies because there is too much." kind of prophetic really considerin...

I would like to apologise to anyone whose time I have wasted by posting this. I thought it may have been interesting to some, but in hindsight the fact that DJ Shadow ALMOST had an opinion is not really that interesting. Go about your weekends in safety, knowing that stuff is about the same as it w...

But we have more greeks and italians etc here than in Scotland right? Melbourne has the biggest population of greeks outside of Greece. Yah i thought so, so maybe they have decided to reclaim the name for themselves? when i first heard 'cunt' i thought it was awful. Then i reclaimed it, and now am ...

disclaimer: I haven't read the whole thread.. I'm just shocked at the reaction to this in India. So anytime an Indian gets hurt in Australia it's a "racist attack". This may well have been, but nobody knows for sure, so why automatically reduce it to race.. That's racist. My friend was bea...

When he stops sucking I'll start buying his albums again. I don't really understand his point. Is it that art needs money to function properly, and that the internet is killing the business of music? I agree, art needs money, and if you like his music you should buy it, but to say that The Beatles a...

Well, to begin I think that gateway theory is flawed. And secondly, I don't see any reason to ban bongs. It won't affect use, it'll just mean people smoke more joints or make their own bongs. If you want to cut back on people using marijuana, make it legal.. Works for the netherlands (well, not tota...

He said research showed cannabis was a gateway drug into more dangerous illicit drugs, with most heroin and cocaine users first experimenting with cannabis. .....and before that, most cannabis users experiment with alcohol. Therefore, we must ban alcohol. And all associated "paraphernalia"...

I don't even use bongs and I still think they should be legal. They make such beautiful ornaments!

Quite ridiculous to consider banning them.

how was it?

I listen to this mix SO much, it's amazing. Every time I need to gear myself up, no matter what mood I'm in, I chuck this mix on and I'm ready to party.. NYE, here I come!

autumnleaves

there is something seriously wrong with that.

I just want to reiterate how jealous I am of this event. I'm o/s at the moment, and would sell one of my nuts on ebay to be able to attend this gig. Hope you all have a blast.

Meh, bunch of gold diggers. Of course they'd hit it if they were going to get millions of dollars out of it at some point. Basically are very, very expensive prostitutes. Only people I have major sympathy for his kids, and maybe his wife, though I doubt she would have hooked up with him if he wasn't...

Just saw these guys in Norway. Fucking awesome set. Only disappointment was that they forgot to play my request of their Gwen McCrae "90 percent of me is you" remix. Someone request it in Melbourne for me, care of Norway.

This sounds like fun.. My top ten (no particular order) 1. Radiohead - Kid A I haven't listened to this for a while now, but when it came out I listened to it basically on rotation for a year. So distant, cold, and yet embracing at the same time. Take two valium, lay back, and let it wash over you. ...

I'll try and be fair in my appraisal + lots of diverse stuff going on. if you want it, there is def a subculture (maybe a small one) for it in melb food and coffee is amazing international gigs come through on a regular basis rent is comparatively cheap - the weather, though this may be an improveme...

Hey Guys, Meredith have revised their line-up. I think you are going to be mighty impressed: Friday 11th 2-2.45 - Arrive, and attempt to set up a magnificent MMF enclosure, fail miserably and start drinking. 2.45-5 - Continue drinking, rolling joints and welcoming in the new festival. 5-5.30 - Feel...

It's so weird thinking that I'm sure all of us have done stupid things in our lives that have gotten us so close to death without even knowing it.. Or maybe you did know it, and for that minute you went... "Shit.... I could have died so easily then...".. And then we move on. Makes you feel...

So bloody jealous. I've been in Melbourne for New Years for like the last 6 years, and I leave for one and you go and put Bukem, Conrad and Marky on the same lineup!!!!! Not fair!!!! But enjoy, going to be a ripper.

Hah well what are the odds, just found out Commix is playing in the small town I'm living in in the next few weeks

there's a mad pub i think on the corner of pigdon/scotchmer and something, just off Rathdowne.

Lygon would surely have loads of options as well Goo...

wow, I finally make it to Europe and you guys go and steal some of Europe's best. jealous!

Lineup looks pretty good actually! I went to a Summadayze in about 2003, had a great day, actually much better than expected. Didn't spend much time at the main stage, all the "big" acts were there, mostly trance stuff so didn't get into it so much. Cassius was playing on a smaller stage a...

So this is the "original wailers"? Cos I saw "the wailers" in the US and they had a completely different lineup. Seems to be some animosity between them, on the "wailers" website the guy is trashtalking the band calling them a "cover band".. this from the guy ...

whatever that bird is doing, I doubt it's enough to justify taking its life.

Also bear in mind that the posters you saw around town for New Years were for New Years - and the holidays. We still get a great array of talent throughout the year, but over the summer months and especially New Years Melbourne drowns in touring internationals. Yeah i know, that its "peak-seas...

I hate to say it, but those Rudd, P.M. skits on Rove are fucking hilarious. Best thing that show has ever done. Check out youtube for them. Every time I hear that Rudd laugh I lose it, also love the "Twitter Time" intervals

I love that the Simpsons and Family Guy portray him as this oversexed, carefree, straight up badass. Which he probably is.

Family Guy - "It's one fine day to be nude"
Simpsons - "He's Jimmy Carter with a FOX attitude", Clinton shakes and thrusts hips.
