Shit manager.

Thread needs more posts.

OK, looks like Radiohead first. I'll arrange it today and PM those involved about the plan. Should be starting on Monday at the latest I'd imagine. Because of the number of people involved we'll do it head-to-head. I'll make a post later when I arrange it. A little too hungover to start this at this second.

Ah great, another reason for me to hate them is that they can be bought out. They are one of those bands who in ten years time will be defending playing before a dictator for a lot of money, regardless of how much he claims to have a conscience.

Still a shit manager.

Ahh, then I won't be getting hold of one then.

Is this the newspaper thing? Or is this the supercollider whatever thing?

Sweet, where are the limited edition wrong label vinyls being sent to?

Yes. You can quote me on this.

That's not the word I was after. More a word to describe the situation. Like an oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms, or a paradox which is a seemingly true statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which seems to defy logic or intuition. It's a similar word to that (but obviously not that at all and in fact quite the opposite) which describes massive irony such as in this case where a thread about their lack of freedoms is banned because it was about their lack of freedoms, thus showing their lack of freedoms. Maybe there isn't a word but I'm sure there is. But yes, it highlights the censorship problems and I'm sure they are very paranoid about current world affairs.

It's weird, providing what Ian said is true, on a message board where there is over 60,000 members, 67,679 threads and 4.7million posts and after one of my threads and specifically four posts and possibly a handful of other posts around the forum it's now banned from a nation of 1.3billion people.

See the thread title. It's because China has a lack of basic human rights and freedoms that means it would ban a messageboard with a thread documenting that. I'm trying to find the word to describe what this board being banned on the basis of the motives of this thread represents . It's more than irony but my vocabulary doesn't stretch far enough to cover it.

Do I win an award for this?

Nice one, thanks. Might as well forget about it again for the time being then haha.

Well we don't know who it was. We know footballers do this kind of thing. It's not really news. I said only last week that it would be going on right now. You didn't want to talk about it then, but now just because this has happened you think it's massively important, when we don't even know who it is. We could have had the same discussion last week without knowing about this.

I don't think there's anything to discuss.

Really?

Whether Mark has me on ignore, or is just ignoring me, it doesn't matter. I'm putting this story in here, since this is what the thread was for. You can discuss it in the other thread but I like a nice healthy list of their actions in one place. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/14/china-time-travel-dramas China censors want to consign time travel dramas to past State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, denounces 'frivolous' approach to history by programme-makers

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76325 Figured this might be useful for people with regards to sticking to the deadline. There'll be some down time for the board on the 18th so make sure you get it in earlier than needed.

When you send the link to the organiser, in the PM, underneath the link just put: 1. 2. 3. 4. But with the track names in.

Fuck, ten minutes over :(

Which morons didn't vote for the 'proper' one? By far the better one. One of the best of all time.

There's a China thread for things like this Mark. Just for future reference.

Spotify still seems as full to me as it was when I got it.

When are the newspaper things due to come? I put it to the back of my mind after I ordered. Still not listening to those things yet haha.
