Hard News: Higgs Live!, in reply to Will de Cleene,
Escargot cults...
Imagine snails working out how to predict lunar eclipses.
Who says they haven't?
I wonder how much they'd shell out for such research?
To be fair, they have been using Fibonacci sequences to put a roof over their heads for millennia...Dark musings....
Now they can concentrate on dark matter and energy - perhaps an anti-particle that is all spin and no mass (much like Parliament) is out there... and to keep the supersymmetry and nomenclature relative the dark equivalent of Higgs' boson should be called Black Pete! -

Hard News: For want of some purpose, in reply to Rob Stowell,
Felt that in Chch...
ditto, but it went on for a while I thought, with lotsa creaking and slow shifting beforehand and then the visceral kicker which made the house feel like it was adrift and being slowly and jerkily eddied about, the 'aftershock' (11.07pm-ish) I think was based here (off Brighton)...

Hard News: Hip Hop Voices 2: Chip…, in reply to Simon Grigg,
I loved that album [UHP Against the Flow ] when it first arrived (and still do). Stormy Weather had top ten written all over it...
+1
- it was way ahead of its time (and mass audience), maybe a rerelease is merited?
...Southside Records is another of Murray Cammick's vast contributions to NZ culture over the years, hell, I hear that the Shihad movie doesn't even mention Wildside Records and his early support! -
