Helter Skelter returns to London for one night only! Hear the mesmeric, revolutionary songs of Charles Manson and the Manson Family performed live by a super group including: The Fat White Manson Family ‘Squeaky’ Misty Miller Tash & Beth + Many more! The world’s only known Manson Family...

A lot of folks on the left are saying that we may be better off out of the EU. They've got a point. The EU is just another layer of unaccountable government. As much of a cliche as it is though, I tend to think we're better off in than out. What do you think?

I'm doing a phone Q+A with the author tomorrow, and have only been given a couple of days' preparation time. Anyone have any questions for him, or insights generally into him/his work?

We've all heard about the means big web corporations use to suck traffic to their websites. I was speaking to someone who works for Daily Motion, the YouTube rival, the other day. They said they use a supercomputer with hundreds of IP addresses to keep generating hits to their site, and pulling...

After reading yet another hatchet job targeting ol' Dicky Dawkins from the right-wing press, I feel a Dissensus debate about the virtues of Dawkins (and his brand of aggressive atheism) is long overdue. So here's my two-pence worth: I like him. He's got style, and manages to demolish religious...

So I've been enjoying (a ridiculous amount) The Sound of Wonder, the Sitar Beat compilation, and the songs of Kalyanji Anandji (Dharmatma Theme in particular). Does anyone have any suggestions for great Bollywood and related artists or compilations of similar greatness?

I was explaining to someone on Facebook, half-jokingly, that I would contact my MP (Tessa Jowell) and ask her to address the housing minister regarding letting agents' fees. For the record, they hack me off tremendously, and I'd like them to be made illegal. As a technically homeless person...

So I'm compiling a mixtape for the newly refurbished Substance.tv website, and I've decided to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Brian Jonestown Massacre's Thank God For Mental Illness album by putting together a mix of songs about mental illness. I'm not just looking for any old shit that...

It's not about boasting, just that I'm interested to know who the most famous person known to have a Facebook account is. I was quite surprised to see that a few famous musicians have them at all, even if their privacy settings are high. I thought it would be too much of a risk, what with the...

I've been charged with turning around an article about Jerry Lewis's unreleased and unfinished 1972 movie, The Day The Clown Cried, about a clown who gets sent to a Nazi death camp. The few people who have seen it--including Harry Shearer--unanimously regard it as the most distasteful thing...

So not having enough time to search the internet/record shops for tracks and albums I may like, all my hip-hop is recommended by my friends. So far, they've been very helpful, but the reservoir is running dry, and I'd be interested to know what everyone here's into. Top of my hit parade: Jedi...
