Help!

Can any one tell me how this works. I'm unsure what you do when you can't find a tracker and a website only has a forum

I particuly like his classic "TimeQuake", featuring time travelling nazis and azteks and serialised as a comic strip in Starlord.

That one he wrote about vampires on the Eastern Front was good too.

Well, I sure can pick em. A 10 minute (though interesting) interview with Kurt, and some unleievable arty gibberish that was funnier than Don't Look Now.

The European Space Agency funding artist to dress up a bunch of white middle class artist blokes as pantomime Ali Baba's and float on flying carpets in a zero G envirnment to further the understand of myth and legend in our culture.

The whole show was so unbelievable I actually decided to get up and do some much needed washing up.

The Carpet-Baggers,

Kilgore Trout was better...

I couldn't get past the pretensious arty stuff about photos

The art is space thing I thought was a piss take, then I realised it was true, I flicked over to UKGold2 and watched Alan Partridge and the Day To Day.
I then went to bed with a headache and muttering that we should have never come down out of the trees..

The Culture Show isn't working out too well at the moment, is it?

GordonR · 11 February, 2005, 06:16:55 PM

Its title alone annoys me. It makes me feel like Herman Goering:

"Every time I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun."
