Sartorially brilliant, he appears to have been birthed by the same clandestine sect we have to thank for the dark-stain presences of Ian McCulloch, Roy Orbison and Harry Lime – although I’m unsure how he’d feel about those comparisons. If, as it happens, you’ve never caught a Meades film, then you’re yet to encounter how startling it can be to receive a dose of television presented by a critically lucid pontificator who simply refuses to remove his Ray-Bans, all the while affecting a kind of stolid, critical pedestrianism that’s perfectly calibrated to defamiliarise and make strange the overlooked and obfuscated elements of our built environments.

Ascending the line of gradation, we come at last to the white European, who, being the most removed from the brute creation, may ...be considered as the most beautiful of the human race....Where shall we find, unless in the European, that nobly arched head, containing such a quantity of brain....Where that erect posture of body and noble gait? In what other quarter of the globe shall we find the blush that overspreads the soft features of the beautiful women of Europe ...? Where that nice expression of the amiable and softer passions in the countenance; and that general elegance of features and complexion? Where, except on the bosom of the European woman two such plump and snowy hemispheres, tipt with vermilion? 14

4.0 out of 5 stars Eine Symphone Des Graunes, 3 Mar. 2001By A Customer
This review is from: Volume Contrast Brilliance (Audio CD)
The monochrome set are one of those band that are very difficult to categorise and even harder to explain why you like them.There sound can best be described as indie but song like Alphavilee (strangely not on the greatest hits album) echo the film of John Luke Goddard more than any punk rock anthem. The under produced guitar sound provides and excellent backup drop to the clever if slightly incomprehensible lyrics of Bid.The grating percussion on He Frank is sill a sound to be equalled while there are some week track on the record (so only 4 stars) it still contains the classic "Lester leaps in" the anthem "fun for all the family" and the extremely witty and relevant "Jet set Junta"

And a lot of their best songs work on several levels - yeah, a lot of their songs are plain fun, but they DO bear up to scrutiny - look beyond the fun and frolics, and there's a musical sophistication there.

The habitation of Shompens is the Great Nicobar which is the largest among the Nicobar Group of Islands. Like the Nicobarese, they belong to the Mongoloid race. The Shompens have two divisions, the smaller division being known as Mawa Shompens. They inhabit areas very close to the coastal region along the river valleys. They are very shy. They are quite intimate with the Nicobarese. The major group of shompens are the hostile Shompens living in Alexendra and Galathia river areas and also on the east coast of the area in the interior of the island. In the past, frequent attacks are believed to have been made on the Mawa Shompens by the hostile Shompens. But now such hostility has stopped. It is probably because they have been largely reduced in number due to various diseases. The Shompens are the victims of disease, and physically very weak. With the establishment of the settlement at Campbell Bay in Great Nicobar, Shompens have been visiting the settlers and they are gradually shaking off their shyness and indifferent attitude towards the civilized people.

how about a ridiculous thought experiment, because hey it's tuesday afternoon.
imagine we colonize another planet. the planet is earthlike, except that it's unoccupied and pristine and isn't a shithole. (don't worry about the practicalities of space colonization. just imagine it's almost like an earth-annex, or a newly discovered continent, that's easy to get to and develop)
do you think that we'd colonize in a deliberately sustainable way, net-zero energy consumption if possible, taking care not to obliterate local biodiversity and to avoid overpopulation? or do you think we'd just trash it? would the answer change if there were numerous new planets to colonize?
