Really really like Glenrothes. Kinda smokey. But Macallen, Talisker and Springbank are all favourites too. Side note - The best album to drink whisky to is Superchinchillarescuemission/The Tim Version split.

Tenement - Napalm Dream Bangers - Small Pleasures Former Cell Mates - Presented As A Work Of Fiction

Haruki Murukami - A Wild Sheep Chase. As with all his stuff, it's pretty odd. Really hypnotic, ends up obsessing me for days on end.

Ah yeah, 80% white + Latino, 13% black. I deserve a slap for that. My bad.

80% of the USA is white (according to Wikipedia, the footnote from the US Census Bureau) as opposed to 13% black and 15% Latino. Black minors being charged as adults being a more frequent occurance, I'd say it's worth bringing up. Maybe these aren't the facts you wish me to look at? Also, the (wo)man thing - I don't see the problem. How about (trans)wo(man) - is that better?

Proven not to be a deterrent, tends to be used against the poorest (and darkest) members of society, has no place in civilised society. I can understand why people can feel a criminal deserves to die (and have felt like that myself sometimes) but I think if an innocent (wo)man dies than the system is wrong.

I started at 16, I'm 27 now so 11 years. I don't consider myself a ~collector~ but buy a lot of records so probably am one. I used to skive off school and dig round the record shops in Newcastle. Now, I leave work and dig round record shops. Beats working!

I concur. I think my favourite was the Synth Britannia, the electro-pop one. No idea why, other than Everything Counts by Depeche Mode I don't like electro-pop! The Comics Britannia series was great too.

Frankie Boyle's non-televised stuff isn't always that shocking, he can talk quite interestingly about books and socio-political stuff. His tv show was awful though.

Doug Stanhope Reginald D Hunter Frankie Boyle Simon Munnery (maybe the best stand-up of the past 20 years) Richard Herring Stewart Lee Johnny Vegas is one of my favourites but not sure how well he'll translate outside of England.

I use a Mamiya 7II and pretty much always Fuji Pro 400H. Used to like busting out the Tri-X with my old RZ but I sold it (miss that 75mm shift!) but don't shoot much black and white these days.

Bit worried about a 50 year old man using the term "lulz". But yeah, what A-Money! said.

Superchinchillarescuemission/The Tim Version split.

It took a lot of putting up with The New What Next by Hot Water Music. I try to pretend it was by The Draft. Can understand why Against Me! hurt so many people's feelings, I was never that convinced he was convinced. Also: Rilo Kiley's last album and Shades Apart's last two albums, urgh. I'm also hoping Realism by Magnetic Fields was a mere detour from the good shit.

Leatherface.
