The struggle in education
"In this great Cultural Revolution, the phenomenon of our schools being dominated by bourgeois intellectuals must be completely changed."
Why does the right wing hate America?
Oxford Street 1981
In early 1980s, when I was washed up on its bitumen shores, Oxford St was as much a punk, post-punk, goth, alt-rock hang out as a gay one.
The albums you should have listened to before you die
Via magpiebrain, comes another list meme. This time it's albums that you should listen to in their entireity before you die. The basic meme is, take this list, copy it to your blog, highlight the ones that you already listened to, and then add three (only three, no cheating down the back).
The problem with these lists are varied and many. The list below, written by previous contributors, includes 'Greatest Hits' type albums and personally I don't think these are eligible as they were never intended as complete works the way a 'proper' album is. Another problem is that there are albums that I will never hear from start to finish, after hearing some of it (e.g. Pink Floyd's The Wall, as I'm in complete agreement with Tim Bray (and famously, John Lydon) on that score). Although I've seen the movie, so I guess that means I have heard the album? Kill me now.
Also some album choices are a bit weird, for some artists. Just one Beatles album? And why not David Bowie's "Low" and "Lodger"? Some of the artists are just pure puke (Dire Straights, Joan Armatrading).
Anyway the list;
- Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
- London Calling - The Clash
- Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
- Think Tank - Blur
- This is Hardcore - Pulp

I promise I will get back to posting some new podcast music up later this week. I'm still in holiday mode, plus I've got a little weirdo rescued cockatiel to look after. He's very sweet.
FOUND PET COCKATIEL - PADDINGTON NSW
FOUND - PET COCKATIEL, PADDINGTON NSW
Near Scottish Hospital, 3 MARCH 2005. Not a strong flyer. Was being harrassed by mynah birds when found, and very hungry and in need of some TLC. Fairly friendly, likes to sit on your shoulder, nervous about other handling but reasonably tame. Wolf whistles.
LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL OWNER. Have you lost your cockatiel? Please email scot.mcphee /at/ gmail.com or comment here with a description of your bird to claim him or her. Currently safe & sound with good carers and visited specialist avian vet for check-up & treatment.
