I've been pretty slack keeping up with new music this year, indulging too much in old favourites instead. I suppose of the ones I have bought I liked Tim Freedman's Australian Idle quite a lot.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Always hated them except Sachin, sort of implied to me all of them except Sachin.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread They have been, you need to factor in that in India they don't have the hierarchy of formats that they have here, the three formats of the game are largely viewed with similar prestige and through the three formats of the game Yuvraj, Raina, Rohit Sharma, Kohli...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread If you hate Dravid you are a dick, plain and simple. After Gilchrist he is far and away the nicest, fairest, most noble guy to play in the modern era. Can understand people not liking Ganguly, Bhajji, Sreesanth, Yuvraj and Dhoni, they're pretty arrogant...

Gunna see Amstell in April?

ahh shaddup

This, watch 2020 if you're only interesting in hit and giggle crap, this is real cricket. And he is, he is the leading test run scorer for 2011.

I'm not in the business of defending those who purposefully interpret Christs teachings to justify their violence, greed, hatred, conservatism etc. If you accept the premise that the church is essentially embodied by views of the Pontiff and the conclave of cardinals then absolutely it is...

Dravid?

Hitchen's argument, as often they are, was underlined by a horrible double standard that is, where an influential Christian does something selfless, noble or generous they do so because it is in their nature to do so, they are not acting out of Christian values but out of their own inherent...

In one state. To be fair Gingrich has brought this upon himself by drumming up the importance of Iowa but I personally don't take much notice of state by state polling. I acknowledge that for absolute political junkies they can be very illuminating and provide more accurate predictions but for...

Katich shouldn't be picked because of his statements about Clarke. Completel unprofessional of him, having him in the side would prove a major distraction and the side don't need that when there about to take on arguably the strongest batting side ever to tour Australia.

Latest national polls have Newt and Romney neck and neck, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_opinion_polling_for_the_Republican_Party_2012_presidential_primaries , Ron Paul continues to chug along making fuck all impact.

Mate its like taking a survey at the audience of a Qanda episode and therefore concluding that left wing thing tank dude was better than the right wing news ltd journo.

Ofcourse they did, the whole thing was an exercise in Hitchens fangirling but just like his Qanda spar with Waleed Ali he essentially just made brash pronouncement over brash pronouncement and never addressed any point Blair made. Blair comprehensively won the debate.

I feel like watching the Blair/Hitchens debate now, can never get enough of seeing that bombastic fop getting smacked around by a true intellectual.

Ha! For Hitchens to attack someone else for writing verbose prose with fuck all substance would require a previously unrealised degree of irony.

It is not because at its fundamental root science is inadequate. Science is fundamentally a study about cause and effect, that every existance can be logically traced back to a cause and it is a noble pursuit for treating disease, feeding the hungry, developing new technologies etc. It is...

No it isn't a case of "faith" ever doing anything, I'm sure there were many men of faith who thought Darwin was a heretic. The point is that "faith" is not an institution, men and women of faith are diverse and wide ranging and the Hitch liked to imply they were all blind followers. And you...

For god sake just read the "Does God exist thread" these have been absolutely debated to death.
