And I Was a Boy From School
I heard this being played really loudly in Fopp on Union Street last time I was back in Glasgow, and fell in love with it immediately.

I'd be very grateful if someone with a pdf of Hawthorne's 'Reply to Cohen', or with access to 2000's Philosophical Issues which it appeared in, would please email me a copy. UT's access to PI has a gaping hole in it (1999-2002).Cheers.Update: A reader kindly sent me a copy of the paper. Read more...

The Dark TA
Lauren and I went to see 'The Dark Knight' last Friday, and I thought it was pretty rubbish. Not in the same league of terribleness as 'Batman Begins', but not very good at all. Anyway, this review from Pharyngula seemed right on the money, and I can't resist quoting this line:"As a plot mover,... Read more...
