Metal or mental?

Bring him home is a favourite of mine...and yes I am a softie at heart, that or I just have a very eclectic taste in music

So do I, people are often quite surprised about my taste in music, I guess I don't look like a typical grindcore fan!

I'd also like to think I don't look like a mentalist, as my record collection would suggest.

I don't even know what grindcore is but don't imagine id like it!

Imagine the sound of someone putting a strimmer into a saucepan whilst stubbing their toe.

Its pretty good.

Also, bought Aphex Twin's 'Computer Controlled Acoutic Instraments Pt2' EP on the way home, so that'll be the next thing on heavy roatation.

That's actually a pretty accurate description!

The Gun Club 'Fire of Love' and Electric Wizards's newest one for me this week.

Today I have mostly been listening to Gaza

And figuring out how to embed video in Microcosm

Been listening to a lot of Chopin in the workshop. Keeps me centered.

Anyone on here practice Yoga? If so, have you noticed a positive impact on your cycling and have you been to the classes in Capitol House?

I've dabbled! I've not done it specifically for cycling but stretching is good before any activity.
I did a few classes at the Buddhist Centre which I recommend but I've not been to Capitol House so can't help you there.

I wouldn't be doing it specifically for cycling but it would certainly help. Awesome thanks, @jdp suggested the Buddhist centre too, might have to check it out this week some time. I was only swayed towards Capitol House as it's at the end of my road, Buddhist centre isn't too far though and it's round the corner from work*

*I think? It's near Lola Lo's isn't it?

Wouldn't mind getting involved in that, years of rugby have ruined my flexibility and I can't remember what it feels like not aching!

Another romantic outing for us?

Haha, I'm not wearing yoga pants!

Damn

If you two are doing downward facing dog next oppposite each other then yoga pants or not, it'll be more than "romantic".

Shouldn't have googled that at work...

It is indeed, it's that little road down the back of Lola Lo's.
Be warned, there are relaxed farting, yogi types aplenty there!

Hmm, maybe I'll just grab a yoga mat and browse youtube

'yoga for climbers' on youtube is good. though the instructor is perhaps a little too SoCal

I'll have to check it out.

Thread name change to accommodate cycling questions ;)

Can anyone recommend some good flip flop hubs? They don't seem to be as popular as they once were and are proving difficult to find

y u no double fixed? Freewheels thread on them fine

Ah I didn't know that, can basically go for anything then. Thanks!
