What happens when we die ? Well if we're lucky the record companies will re-release our back catalogue. But for the rest of us, I guess we only live on in the databases of our creditors.

Well first of all there isn't really a heaven to get into.... If somebody repeats such a crime knowing that it is wrong then they have not truly "repented" in the religious sense. In this situation psychiatric help is of far more use than any bible. That's the thing you see, christianity t...

Noise, what's "an average murderer" ? - somebody who murders for pleasure - somebody who murders for financial gain - somebody who murders for passion - somebody who murders for revenge - somebody who murders due to diminished responsibility - somebody who murders as a result of insufficie...

I guess you could say I am a kind of lapsed Catholic, so it seems to me that some people's definition of "repent" is rather juvenile. This is the definition that comes closest to the Catholic notion: repent: To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sin...

Sppoky,

no more posts from me today, I'm going to spend the rest of the day laughing at your story.

When's your next anniversary ? I'm going to have an "underwear free" day as a mark of respect.

I'm voting for Spiderman, Buffy and Columbo.

So noise, only four ? and how many can you do at the same time ?

Otis, Martin - for this collection I'm using only official releases. When it comes to Parting Glass and Shipbuilding, I'm also putting together a track list for an unofficial one that fills in the gaps in the official releases but still runs like a live show. I want to try and maintain a consistent ...

girloutoftime - what's Swiss Movement like ? I have about 12 different versions of "Compared To What" but I've never heard the original album tha spawned one of my all time favourite songs. The best covers I've heard are by Mr Floods Party (a Northern Soul classic ), Roberta Flack and more...

Count your blessings - at least Keanu Reeves didn't make an appearance.

Wow I remember that ! Thanks for the memory, I think I have a video somewhere in my mum's loft....

All compilations this week...but I'm still in aural heaven Jackie Mittoo - Champion In The Arena '76-77. Mittoo meets Sly 'n' Robbie and makes my pulse rate drop by 20bpm Talvin Singh - Back To Mine. Talvin's own selection, heavily influenced by ambient Indian rhythms. A perfect backdrop for some se...

80s heaven revisited! Absurd the way that decade gets dissed when there so many good things coming Couldn't agree more Otis. I didn't contribute to the 80's thread, but some of my very favourite albums were made in the 80's. Orange Juice, Win, Bunnymen, The The, Scritti, The Fall, Rip Rig & Pan...

You, stormwarningmelad, are an absolute Pet.

But I can do Plaything too. And nobody's called me "stormwarningmelad" since my grandad died in 1970...

Keep the suggestions coming, then I'll be collecting addresses.

I thought about this before - EC has released plenty of live tracks officially, and I wondered what they'd sound like if they were put together on a double album. Off the top of my head I'd have to go for : A kick-ass start (excuse the Amerikanism) 1. Accidents Will Happen (AF Bonus) 2. Mystery Danc...

Hello - is anybody there ? Thanks taz, tux, you've done a great job in getting this set up so quickly. I must admit though, I thought that Shabbydoll's foul abuse on the Island site(copies available on request) was a much cooler way to force us to switch sites than a simple system clock error. But w...
