Any decent new shows due out this year or next? So far the two below look like they could be good. Terra Nova (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terra Nova : This in particular looks good, created by Steven Speilberg. Falling Skies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Falling Skies :

Inspired by the Metallica thread, seems a surprising amount of people on here dabble in the heavier side of the musical spectrum, which pleases me, so here's a thread to post some of your favourite heavy riffage. Here's a few to start off: Gh1J4rTgVgE Metallica - Cracking cover of Whiskey in the Jar 77f8u7puTFc Pantera - New Level. Supremely heavy metal band. U5IV3AbLBa0 Rancid - Ruby Soho, off the quite outstanding album 'And out come the Wolves'. If you even like this a little, track it down, classic. 56NfNEQlumg Entombed - Out of Hand. Didn't pick this out but saw it as a random associated vid to Pantera. Heard this on some free metal mag CD back in the day - standard rather silly subterranean-tuned gravel-voiced death metal fare, but one uber-killer riff 2 minutes in, moshtastic. 83K2QygyI8s Wildhearts - Sick of Drugs. Not my fave song by them by far, but an amazing band fronted by their highly prolific and supremely talented songwriter, Ginger. Went to watch them at the Buckley Tiv and they played about 30 songs that night, 20+ of which they played off the cuff after requests from fans from their back catalogue of fuck knows how many songs (they used to write 3 original and ace songs to go with each single). Top band. V6ieNc6U2Sc Kuyss - Thumb. Shocking choice of video accompaniment by some fanboy, but the tune's good and the band rocks, they were precursors to and IMHO superior (if pretty different) to Queens of the Stone Age. Stoner desert rock at its finest, heard them first when I bought Kuyss - Sky Valley (still one of my fave ever albums, better than this vid by a million miles but not much on youtube) and listened to it for the first time on my walkman while in a teen strop in the back of the car driving through a desert in Colorado during a thunderstorm. One of my best music moments ever in retrospect. q3Ckw4t_YuA Machine Head - Davidian. These guys blew me away when they came on the scene, concentrated riff perfection, no chaff to speak of. Saw them live with Slayer on their first major tour and they weren't the greatest live in terms of sound and tight riffage, unlike this lot: No7Kh6iZOcY Slayer - Raining Blood / Angel of Death. An acquired taste, certainly, but the ultimate granite-heavy thrash metal band, saw them live even though I went to see Machine Head supporting, and they were unfuckingbelievable, played their songs about twice as fast as on record but note-for-note perfect and intense and heavy as fuck. Downside is their solos and 'segues' generally suck, but the main riffs and drumming are outfuckingstanding. j46EOpgNnMA Alice in Chains - Them Bones. Class Seattle band, contemporaries of Nirvana. this is off Dirt, that and their top notch acoustic album Jar of Flies are both brilliant. Heroin-driven grunge mind, which eventually cost lead singer Layne Stayley his life. KStRpYm5iCc Weezer - Surf Wax America. Could've picked any song off their eponymous and first 'blue album', fucking love it, one of a few albums which is f'ace from start to finish. Similar to Kuyss above, got an ace memory of this album, as it was all I had to listen to while living for a week with a hill tribe in the jungle north of Chiang Mai, Thailand, when I was 17, as I'd bought it just before leaving Chiang Mai. Gutted when the walkman ran out of batteries! 4H0BMfqFP9c Foo Fighters - Everlong. Like Weezer, a faultless album from start to finish, with killer songs and killer memories for me to go with it. Top stuff. wyokRzdDQ9A Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead. More stellar stoner (hmm, maybe acid is more accurate!) rock and fucking ace with it, this and the title track of the album, Dopes to Infinity, both rule. Rest of the album was so-so, apparently they've done better since, not kept up. k7CPIXnaeeQ Mother Love Bone - Stardog Champion. This band were the late-80s precursor to Pearl Jam, cut short when the lead singer Andrew Wood died of a smack OD (sound familiar?!). PlcvJjRvT7c Ministry - N.W.O. - Industrial forefathers, while Nine Inch Nails were still all-out geetars. Others to check out are Jesus Built my Hotrod and Just One Fix. Over to you all. My tastes are much wider than this, from Rachmaninov to DJ Shadow to Goa Trance to Gomez and shitloads inbetween, but with rock stuff, p'raps a bit on the heavy side for the most part. Anyway, be good to hear what you guys come up with.

Now it's the end of the episode, And everyone has AIDS, It infected the gay lad, And possibly Mercedes (she'll die of AIDS)

A lot of the acts are shite but there have been some incredibly entertaining acts this year. Just watching that young lad dance then was amazing, his dancing was great but the broken music and the rain made it spectacular.

After the way the honey badger destroyed all the competition in the Animal Fight thread, for one day only: can be purchased herehttp://www.teefury.com, not my work, not my site, just thought some might be interested, but probably not. (Image may change after the shirt changes)

Does anyone remember this show? For some reason its just popped into my head. Used to love it as a kid.

Signed a five year deal today. Good stuff.

Unbelieveable that it's been that long. I was in Forbidden Planet in Bold Street after uni when I first heard Bush on the radio. When I went home and watched the towers fall I just couldn't take it in. We've all seen grim shit in our time what with 24 hour news being the way it is, but I've still never seen anything that sickens and shocks me as much as the sight of people jumping out of the world trade centre, as far as psychologically disturbing shit goes, it was on a whole different scale to what I'd seen before. Was reading the other day though that Steve Buscemi went to volunteer with his old firefighter colleagues in the aftermath, I thought that was ace, and no doubt one of many stories like that dotted around. The sight of the priest Mychal Judge being carried out of the rubble too, never fails to put a lump in my throat. Warning! The following content is NOT WORK SAFE. Click the Show button to reveal.

I downloaded some of this the other day and the first series isn't a bad watch, but then in the second series the main character is gone and Delenn has freaky hair. Should I bother with the rest? The GF decides ...

Anyone into it? Gotta love the vibrations!

I know some of you have met and are actual friends in "real life", but who on here would you most like to meet and why? I think I'd like Paul and RiS, but that's too obvious because everyone buzzes off them, so I think it would have to be.....um, maybe simon? For obvious reasons. Or a total wrong'un like Chickenwhatsisname or Noos.

Prompted by a facebook discussion about Coachella, a thread about your expectations in life and whether you feel you have achieved them or ever will. Ever since my late teens I've had this huge urge to travel and see the world and maybe even try my chances at living in another country but the older I get the more distant it seems. I keep thinking I'm a victim of circumstance (mostly of my own creation) but I start to wonder if I'm just kidding myself. I made a career decision at 16 that meant I was going to be in education/training for the next decade; this was (and still is) absolutely what I want, my determination to be an architect has never been higher and hopefully in 6 months time I'll achieve that. I have a job I enjoy and that has helped me get qualified; with the state of the industry I've been grateful to hold on to a job for so long and with a company that I could have a long term future with. I've been telling myself that I'll get qualified and then go off and travel and try other things before coming back to it but then the world went to shit and I keep telling myself I'm lucky to have a job and when there are so few jobs in the countries I want to move to what am I going to do? Then there's my personal life, I moved in with the girlfriend just under a year ago and it's easily the best thing I ever did. Now we're thinking that whilst we have a bit of money we should do the sensible thing and buy a house and all of a sudden I'm in my mid-twenties and I'm thinking of buying a house and a dog and settling in Sheffield wondering what the hell happened to those travel ambitions. I really want to move to Vancouver and a couple of years ago we both decided that's what we wanted to do when the other half moved from Lincoln to Sheffield she decided she already missed her family too much so moving abroad was out. Now we seem to have both settled for buying a house and then having longer holidays but I'm not sure it'll ever be enough for me, I certainly don't want to regret it in my later years. Anyway, this probably seems like a self-pitying woo is me scenario but it really isn't. Life is pretty rosy, and not everybody can say that. I think I'm impatient as much as anything and I think I set out with inflated expectations of what I should get from the world; it seems so many of my generation thought that their ambition in life should be to go back-packing through the trails of South America. In a very long winded way I guess I'm saying that I had such aspirations and still don't know whether I'll achieve them but if I don't then I don't think I'll be disappointed with the way things turn out. What about everyone else, have you given up on your great expectations?

Why do people go over to America and then suddenly develop some shitty hybrid Anglo-Yank accent within months? I've just heard Jennifer Ellison talking and she was talking with an some sort of weird American accent like that other bint Joss Stone. The daft Bitch has probably only been there for about a month. Do you have a irrational hatred of anything?

New show with Stringer Bell in the lead anyone watch it? I've plussed them to watch in a oner. Looks like it could be good and the beeb getting it's hbo drama shit together.

Some of the tackling has been brutal, not the greatest game ever in an attacking sense but thoroughly entertaining still. Munster currently leading Leinster 12-9.

So the first one is nearly upon us. Unlike some, i can't wait for it. Everton haven't got out of 2nd gear yet, and whilst we are hardly tearing up trees - nothing gets the blood pumping more than a chance to shove it up the bitters in their own wooden hole. So what do we think? Gerrard from the start? Kuyt or Bellamy have to start this as were going to need experienced heads amongst all the young lads. I'd keep Carroll in, he nearly got the monkey off his back yesterday - and he's gonna need a run of games to get full match sharpness and to appease the media and fans who have already made up their minds about him - scoring the winner at Woodison wouldn't be a bad way to kick-start his season. Think we'll have 'em 1-2. Edit : I appreciate it might be a bit early for a match thread... but meh. Its the derby and i dont care

..from Sky News. OK, so the words funny and rape are uneasy bedfellows, but I saw this yesterday and the part that raised a hearty guffaw was when I read where the perpetrator hailed from... 10:17am UK, Wednesday June 03, 2009 A 20-year-old man has allegedly raped a young woman while she was unconscious and streamed it live on the internet. Johnathon Richard Hock is accused of the rape Police became aware of the video when the woman, also aged 20, walked into a station and said she had been sexually assaulted a week before. The woman said her friends had told her about a video on a website which showed her having sex with a man. In the video, the woman appears to be unconscious. She told police she knew her attacker but they had only recently met. Johnathon Richard Hock from Surprise, Arizona, turned himself in and has been jailed without bail, charged on suspicion of kidnapping, sexual assualt and surreptitious photographing. Police said the young woman told them the video showed her attacker laughing and making comments while the act took place. Detective Karen Allbright added: "She said (Hock) made comments about how the victim would never know what was happening to her because she was 'passed out'." Rape was shown live online Phoenix police claim Hock and the woman were drinking on February 25 when she decided to go to bed about midnight. At 5am the next morning Hock apparently went into her bedroom and set up a laptop with a built-in camera. He signed onto the website and proceeded to rape her, while she slept through the 30-minute episode, the statement said. Although the incident took place earlier this year police have only recently got hold of an incomplete version of the video. Authorities had been alerted to it by the website's users. While there have been many cases of young people recording their crimes and posting them on the internet this case may be the first of its kind, said Parry Aftab, executive director of WiredSafety.org. "It’s the first livestream of an actual rape that I’m aware of," Aftab told the East Valley Tribune. The website where the video had been posted eventually provided police with a copy. heh heh - " where ahhh come frum it's called Surprise sex"

The Manic Street Preachers album, that is. What do you people think of it? It had something indescribably dark and not quite of this world about it that I've never heard anywhere else and don't think I will hear ever again. The kind of thing very few bands ever achieve. Nevertheless, it frustrates me every time I listen to it as some of the songs just sound half-finished and makes me think that, what is IMO a really great album could have been the greatest of all time.

Easy enough to sing when half cut too lol. Go to 26 seconds in. [YOUTUBE]nC2gZMNkyJo[/YOUTUBE]

Curb your Enthusiam(July 10th), Rescue Me(July 12th), Breaking Bad(July 17th) and Entourage(July 24th) all begin new seasons. Excited?

This could be me and a prof of my incompetence, but is the great "Recommend me some music" - thread lost? If so it`s a shame as that is probably the thread that has given me most joy here in the GF. Well anyway as an attempt to remedy I will try to start a new one.. Anything goes; new, old, pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues whatever. As long as you honestly feel that spreading it will cause joy and euphoria for someone else.. I will start of with this and hope you find it to you`re liking, I know I do.

Anyone catch this? Docu on BBC3 and is on Iplayer. Only seen the first one, so im guessing it is a different regiment each week. Tells the story of our guys in Afghanistan with a lot of footage captured on helmet cams. Not to everyone's taste, but well worth a watch. BBC iPlayer - Our War: Ambushed

Juve sporting director Giuseppe Marotta insists they will not pay the reported £16million required to land the Italian international. "There is a buy-out clause that has to be activated by May 15," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. "We'll try to reach an agreement before the deadline. I can certainly say we will not sign Aquilani for the sum set by Liverpool." Probably just a ploy to haggle over the price while we are paying his wages.
