    Swiss new minaret ban

    looks like it's passed. deep, wounding shame toward our European neighbours. it's a good thing they're not members of the EU as this is expelling material. (mind you, Italy should have been kicked out ages ago for their attitude to migrants, and the prior Greek govt were smilarly disgusting.)...

    Keylo from San Francisco

    Souls of Mischief mentions in the whosampled.com thread got me thinking of another Bay Area name i used to quite like this '95 LP back then tracks like 'Fresh out of Folsom' and such, but he seemingly sank w out trace after it. (AMG list a presumably self-published * album afterward, w out...

    The British Liberal Democrats

    apologies for starting a deeply parochial, inchoate mess of a post but what is going on here? Clegg with his vision to stake out the party's turf as the new progressive wing of British politics: what does anyone think about that? just conference season talk on the one hand, yes, but on the...
