Sorry to but in here, but Marable's biography is far from fantastic. It includes a number of questionable assertions and misreads so many of Malcolm X's speeches that it is hard to take marable serously. You'd be far better off with Peter Goldman's The Death and Life of Malcolm X, which does a far better job of…

Fackin' bollocks!

I saw them in Bristol, supporting Sonic Youth. GY opened the show by tossing large amounts of cooked spaghetti into the crowd.

Extricate's one of the most accessible Fall albums if you ask me. It's certainly not as out-there as the Mark Riley era. In fact, I'd have it as one of the gateways because it's so listenable (and the reissue has the greatest Fall B-side ever — British People in Hot Weather)

RIP Guru
You ain't coming back

I'm in Love with a Girl/ finest girl in the world

I was so unsettled after watching Aguirre for the first time that I had to watch three episodes of Michael Palin and Terry Jones's Ripping Yarns to revive me. Any time I hear that soundtrack I get scared now.

22-year old Kate Bosworth as a tired and world-weary Lois Lane with five-year-old kid recovering from a long-term relationship with Superman

just two words: My Payola

Used Songs is a pretty good introduction to the Asylum years and a nice place to start if you ask me. It's good preparation for Swordfishtrombones or Rain Dogs

And here it is:

Gump's problem
is not just about the technical accomplishments, it's with the film's raging misogyny, borderline racism and its deliberate attempt to reject anything positive about the 1960s. Jenny spends the whole film being dumped upon from a great height, and the reward for putting up with such shit? AIDS. The…

3-1-4-2-5 but the first four are so close to each other they might as well be interchangeable. Plus 5 shows how the only truthful response to how awful the world is is just to laugh at it.

I wish this was the first Nirvana appearance at Reading — they were amazing that day. I agree with Taphouse that the second year was a bit more sedate. It was fun but not a patch on 91.

I see Saw on the sea shore

That is brillliant. Funniest thing I've seen in months
