    Cave story is awesome, except the secret level is goddamn impossible and I gave up. Anyone have a youtube video of it and the best ending?

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    It's pretty fucking excellent when you're leaning in front of Thurston as he's dancing around shredding away. They have also finally made Total Trash sound great, I don't like the album version. Totally agree with 'Cross the Breeze kicking ass.

    twilight series

    Whoops, clicked on this thread thinking it was about that Russian dude's Watch series, considering it has some weird mechanic to do the Twilight. It also has vampires, but its more about politics and negotiated compromises between the 'Good' guys and Bad guys.

    Essential DS games

    Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin is great fun. The play mechanics have been greatly improved, and there are no more ridiculous Tag powers! There's also nothing like luring and ambushing a battleship with a sub, then pounding it to pieces the next turn. I don't like the music though, too generic rock...

    House of Leaves...

    ...is a brilliant book, blending within a huge mix of genres from nail-biting horror, academia, academic satire and a portrait of madness. The most unnerving thing about it is the impression that the book exists in a parallel universe swallowed up by the House, and the words are the regurgitated...

    the arcade fire at the enmore theatre

    God-fucking-damn I hate you all I didn't know they would be at the Enmore (I was stranded in China and got back on Sunday). Oh well, maybe when they tour the next time it'll be good. Are the live clips on youtube any good?

    I'm at the fucking front! That's what you get for buying them on the day!

    The Discworld

    Love Moist, but I'm still trying to hunt down Making Money at the library. Damn you Terry Pratchett - I'm trying to save money? Small Gods is still the best Discworld ever written, easily.

    Only good song on Sister is Schizophrenia. Sorry. Catholic Block if I'm in a good mood.

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    Screw you guys, I'm a Daydream Nation man myself. Their newer stuff is hardly bad but pales completely to Daydream Nation. And for that I am happy.

    Muse

    Guys guys don't shit up the thread with arguments over which guitarist is better. Lets focus on how awesome otherwise average songs are live. Invincible is not that impressive album-wise, but holy fuck did the giant projector screens completely make that song inspirational as hell. Also...

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    Bought! $66 in person - that extra four dollars or so went down my gullet at Manning. Also, who are the Scientists anyway?

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    Kim is a crazy harpy woman (cf: 'Cross the Breeze) and that is precisely why she is awesome. This thread is now about posting your favourite Daydream Nation song, and I nominate The Wonder (sorry, Trilogy is cheating).

    Loveless

    Dude's right, Treefingers and To Here Knows When are inaccessible as hell (as is Touched), the rest are awesome. Don't let it put you off, you'll get the rest of the tracks easily. The last couple are scarily catchy even if they're blurry as hell. Think sex on drugs.

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    Details are up: $70. Not bad, I'm wondering who's supporting them. I'm just hoping they won't all be sold out on the day - I have my last exam on the 14th, and would rather focus on that.

    Muse

    I'm going! Booya! Not moshing though, friend bought silvers. They're good though, right in the middle. Would I be missing out?

    Loveless

    I personally can't stand To Here Knows When, but tracks When You Sleep to Soon is a great way to chill the hell out. Only Shallow is awesome. For some reason, I can't stand Isn't Anything either. Oh well, Loveless is still one of my heavily listened albums anyway. But you know what depresses...

    Sonic Youth Playing DN!

    Oh jesus christ this is awesome, I got their Deluxe Daydream Nation (for $14 at JB Hi-Fi, thanks corporate mislabelling!) and they have a fuckload of energy live. I must see this. It's Enmore, how much are they typically?

    Awesome Female Characters in Literature

    As a character, she's rather boring. She's the everywoman, run through a bitch filter of sorts. What she goes through, and what she can and cannot do, makes this the best Bas-Lag book by far. Yes, she gets played like crazy, but anybody would, and how she responds is incredibly well written.
