I recently went to a Ministry concert to see Godflesh open. They were great, but too short, whereas Ministry dragged on for ages and didn't even have the courtesy to play Jesus Built My Hotrod or Psalm 69.

I really like the studio versions of From Her to Eternity and The Mercy Seat, but they need a decent sound system to reproduce them properly. The 1987 version of FHtE from Wim Wenders' Himmel Uber Berlin appended to the end of the original album is as wild as any live version and sounds really good to boot: https://www…

Miami Connection is thoroughly entertaining on quite a few levels.

Women do retain more childlike facial features through life
while men get their huge dose of testosterone and hence the big jaws and
whatnot, it's what makes male and female faces recognisable. It makes sense if you're abstracting to emphasise differences.

Yeah, I really enjoy it. It's pleasingly conspiratorial and the action is great.

Try buying from eBay lately, it's like that.

I wish it had its own special computer table.

Junk Culture is nice, you're right. I particularly like The Native Daughters of the Golden West, which feels like a nice blend of the massive scale of their earlier work and the hookiness of their later pop.

My duty is always to beauty.

Tears for Fears' first album was very much synthpop, but Songs from the Big Chair was quite a leap from that.

OMD's first 4 albums are excellent. Bit of a nosedive after that, though.

Violator or Music for the Masses are even better.

I also buy everything on CD and rip to FLAC. Part of the reason is that I insist on having the best , and part of it that with CDs you can still get the pressing you prefer, whereas with downloads you're generally limited to the latest brickwalled "remastered" version.

I just assumed dawn.

Yeah, the Falling cover is nearly identical.

I'm probably alone in that I'd like a John Carter sequel. It only hit its stride at the end.

Man, I want a multiplayer isometric racer that takes full advantage of 1920x1080 TVs. Imagine playing Ironman Off Road at 1:1 pixels on a track that fills an HDTV screen.

I really enjoy Red Planet. It's not brilliant, but it's pretty solid entertainment. Ebert was right in that its sensibility is just too old-fashioned for most audiences; it does remind me of the sort of story you'd get in an old sci-fi magazine.

More '80s, really: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Frank's Pretty Woman, no contest.
