Hrm. Yes. :D Sub Dub I like a lot, been getting into them lately. Very orbish in the vein of towers of dub If you want something darker, check out muslimgauze, he's very prolific (www.pretentious.net/muslimgauze) altho also sorta hit or miss. Ranges from really groovy downbeat to ambient tabla to some sort of marginal crazy noise. This is sort of a tangent, but check out Ananda Shankar. He put a cd out recently with State of Bengal, but if you can find some of his older shit that's dope too. I'm sure most people on here know these guys, but the boards of canada are extra dope. I still like Music has the right to Children, altho their second LP is also real good. And while you're at it, anything on the ninja tune label is solid (www.ninjatune.com) On a side note, I picked up the lemon jelly "Spacewalk" ten inch. Its interesting. I like the heavy sampled beat loops. They sound like some bernard purdie studio outtakes or something. On another side note, I figured out how to disable HTML in hotmail. Go me! :) >anyone got any names of ambient bands like orb- fsol worth checkin out? >nice one! _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

>Julee Cruise must be tempting indeed. Have you seen her? She is one of the most underrated artists of... well, since she came out with her first album in 90 or whenever that was. Floating Into the Night was the name I think but it's on vinyl and I'm not going to go get it. Too tired. Anyway, she's plenty tempting! To all of you who have read Focault's Pendulum you should read the three (or is it four now?) volumes of Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson and THEN read Focault's Pendulum. Then read the Book of the Subgenius. They are ENTIRELY different. There are tons of code words and symbolism that RAW twists your mind into recognizing. Very fun mental exercise, I think. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

> Verdana is the sickest user friendly > pander to beginner's font ever > Its the Mac , don’t worry everything > is alright font Verdana is produced by Microsoft. They make it for both Mac and PC. It was originally part of their package of "web fonts" (along with Georgia, Impact, Comic Sans, etc.) and, as such, it intended only for use on-screen. Don't make the mistake of using it for print applications: it looks like ass. > Heheh tahoma is my secret font ! > You found it! Damn! Tahoma, IIRC, was released originally as the MS Office standard menu font and has since migrated out for more general use. I think it was designed only for on-screen, too. JG

Verdana

Perhaps you like it because it's actally not HALF bad for on-screen. It's very likely you hate it because you don't have any other bloody options except Verdana. ~8) ------------------------------------ m a r t Â l e p p i k Â - Â floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
