I've seen it. Unfortunately. One of the worst films I've ever seen. If the plot wasn't bad/ridiculous enough, the acting by pretty much all the characters was dire. Avoid.

BBC - Radio 2 - Paul Morley's Guide To Musical Genres I'm not sure if it's still online or not, but last week there was an awesome program pretty much dedicated to post-rock. It showed how it began, and played a few songs, and had an interview with Mogwai. He listed Talk Talk and Slint as...

Myspace kinda does a similar thing for me. Not the best solution though.

How about "Casiotone for the Painfully Alone"? One guy and some plinky Casio keyboard, I quite like it. It may or may not be your thing though.

Edguy and Manowar. About as epic as it gets

I just finished organising my collection of Godspeed live material. About 20gb of live stuff available free on archive.org, I recommend people check it out.

It's a bit of an intermittent fault, so I could go for a week without it happening again. I've been thinking of upgrading for a while anyway, just putting it off because it wasn't an essential purchase.

You could try foobar, but I think it also requires a plugin for ALAC. It will also convert to FLAC or WAV. dbPoweramp is also often suggested for conversion.

The soundcard in my main computer (Creative Audigy) is dying a slow death. The sound keeps on going crackly every so often, and requires a reboot to fix it. Creative seem to have stopped supporting it too, so I need a new card. I could just get another PCI card and be done with it, but I'm...

AFAIK itunes doesn't sell lossless downloads. You'd haveto settle for the low quality stuff they have on there, or find a better source.

If you like the appleseed cast, definately try out Moving Mountains. Pneuma is by far my favourite album of the year so far.

This WIll Destroy You are who I've been listening to quite a lot recently. 65daysofstatic are my favourite band ever, but it's debatable how post-rock they are. I highly recommend AfterThePostRock.com - Index page if you're into this genre.

Don Cabbalero?

What worries me is, they still have metal knives and forks on some flights. Surely that defeats the point of confiscating knives etc at security?

I watched this for the first time last night. I know the feeling some people have described. It moved me, and scared me. But it's an amazing film. I had the sountrack for ages before watching the film. Any recommendatiosn for films similar to this, other than those suggested?

It takes a while to set up, but that guide is one of the best guides around. As far as I know, EAC is the only program that uses secure rips.

If you get the latest beta of foobar, it has a new interface that's esy to customise. It won't look as shiny as some, but it's nice and easy to use.

Yeah, I've been recommended project turntables on another forum, and they do look rather nice. I think the Debut doesn't have adjustable speed though, does it?

Right, so I shouldn't be using that crappy USB table for the time being?

OK, so I want to get into vinyl for various reasons, but right now, I don't have enough records or money to justify buying my own table. So I'm kinda stuck with what I have in the house, which is a couple of turntables from old hifi systems, or one of those USB ones sold on gadget websites...
