just echoing what some people have already said but, when countries give out clean needles(UK), HIV numbers go down. when teenagers have decent sex education, HIV numbers go down. (I can find specific numbers if anyone contests, definitely researched the shit out of this topic for school.)...

my problem was a bunch of annoying girls I knew saw Across The Universe (the film) and bought the soundtrack. I always wanted to listen to the the actual thing, but some people... just like what's familiar. I like that movie, but there's no question the Beatles version of their own songs is...

burial. also, anybody who is of the opinion that it's "not music" or terrible as a whole should get their head checked. it's called you not liking it... it's abrasive, and purposefully so. I think a lot of it is pretty bad, because the masculine who-can-make-the-nastiest-sounding-beat fad has...

I don't get why people get so serious about game reviews. they get mad that a good game gets an 8, and mad when a good game gets a 10. you can enjoy a game that got a fucking 4/10, if the problems justifying it don't bother you. also, usually it seems like reviews in the video game world are...

Just want to say that Twilight is bad because it's poor quality. The direction, the pandering fan-service style acting. The books seem to be badly written, to the point where I can't say much about it because the first page made me feel stupid for giving it even that much of a shot as a some...

is this post yours? it's a bit of a headache to be honest. It's well-written, but I can't help but feel like I'm reading politician-style rhetoric. I'm going to respond to this rather sporadically, for the sake of keeping myself attentive. The Hollywood comparison: my love of movies is...

what a shame. he does lack some of the expression my favorites have, but he's quite inventive and minimalist in a way that's completely separate from minimalism as a movement. He plays a bit mechanically, but your words are harsh.

AH! wikipedia informs me he was responsible for the gorgeous (not-chopin) works in The Pianist. love that movie, as unbearably tragic as it is.

ooops, Tchaikovsky on the other page. I don't know if anobody on this website buys vinyl, but classical records are always DIIIRT cheap. It's a great way to get into collecting/ expanding musical horizons. All without illegally downloading!

literally made an account to contribute to this thread. I haven't seen Tchaikovsky mentioned once, but there's some great stuff in here. more importantly, what about all of the fantastic contemporaries? Nico Muhly, Philip Glass, Nils Frahm, Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, Ludivico Einaudi! so...
