You do realise The Matrix is a science fiction film?

Well, that debate can't go much further before we're at the "yes you are", "No I'm not" Level, which isn't much point. So I'll just note where you stand vis-a-vis reality, and tell you where I stand, and then perhaps things are best left there. Your idea of an "extreme threat to western...

Gavin Friday; A Song That Hurts Antony and the Johnsons; The Spirit Was Gone Fun Boy 3: The Tunnel of Love ABBA; The Winner Takes it All David Bowie; Time Suede; Europe is our Playground A-ha; Soft Rains of April Perfume Genius; Don't Let Them In Sparks; Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth

Agreed, both great albums!

Parquet Courts; "Wide Awaaaake!"

You’d find me huddled up in a corner, silently sobbing and nursing a Vermouth.
