I was expecting great things after the abstract start, but in the end I thought it was a competent but not outstanding version. At least Beck continues to experiment with new things, but on this occasion not worth the effort I thought.

Personally
I love Outside, which was a concept album. Space Oddity is pretty much cover to cover goodness. Earthling, Heathen, Reality are about 70/30 good to meh. And for live performance, the third disk of the BBC disk is recent and eliminates much of the 1980s trebly sound / drum machine sounding drums. Wild is the Wind is classic on that disk. If you like covers, Pin Ups is good. Station to Station is intense, especially the title song. Hours is really mellow, with Thursday's Child a call out track, and Something in the Air a desperate tail of relationship decay. I shy away from Tin Machine altogether...

It's a standard silicon chip but by inserting it into any PCB it will make that product hover. The 8 pin version makes the product hover 8ft above the ground, the 16 pin, 16ft and so on.
It comes in white or black. Dunno how it works but that's not my department. £50k buys you the rights to it.

"Spaffing" is an interesting name for a band, but if the shoe fits!

Spafford is a stupid name.
You should be called "Keckspuff" instead.

Interesting stuff.
The videos about the benefits of the Alternative Vote over the first-past-the-post voting system made my blood boil. If the information had been available and so simply explained a few years ago...

*high five*
yes, the AV one is so slickly done but so over simplsitic and totally overlooks the need for an executive to be decisive and effective rather than eternally seeking compromise through endless coalition committees, and for a few other reasons i no longer recall, it also made my blood boil.
EDIT: oh, i misunderstood you. thank goodness it wasn't out then!

the only real winners in AV/PR...
are the inevitably larger political class, and the accordingly over-represented minortities. remind me, what was the voting system that got that lunatic fringe nutjob nick griffin a seat in the european parliament? he wouldn't have had a chance in hell under FPTP.

He got with less votes than the BNP recieved the previous time because of voter apathey
Which is partly due to the unrepresentative nature of FPTP (EDIT:apathy toward politicians with the scandals of the time effected that election I mean). If people felt that their vote mattered even a little they might be more inclined to use it. I see no problem with AV, in a fair number of seats it wouldn't change a damn thing, take Anne McIntosh for instance who regularly get 52% in her seat. It retains the constituency link, makes MP's work harder for their votes, allows people to express their actual political leanings rather than having to vote tactically.
(I'm not invoking Godwins law here, so don't take offence :p)You're argument about the inefficiency of coalition is basically the thin end of the wedge of arguments such as promoting a vanguard party or dictatorship of the proletariat, or fascist regime. I never understand how 'more democracy' is somehow a bad thing? As with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, you might not like the outcome, but if its representative (which you cannot argue FPTP is) the means surely justify the ends?

Apologies for the spelling
Compulsory voting is tempting to me, but yeah you're right people should be allowed to not bother if they want, and but as I say that's what let Griffin in. I'd like an end to FPTP but I think we're stuck with it for a while now. Votes at 16 might instil people with a sense of civic duty and improve turnout

An amsterdam brothel may have it's clean sheets and sanitation but it doesn't have the charm of a joyless shag round the back of the local sink estate pub from a 56 year old mother of 17.
