not sure if this should go here or the other music thread, but can someone recommend some solid dubstep or drum and bass artists to check out?

and if you want some solid Canadian rock check out The Tragically Hip (despite what some may say, Nickelback is not solid Canadian rock)

Hope you found some good staff. When does the nightclub open?
this weekend was great.
saturday evening – sitting outside having beers and food with friends. good conversation, good eats, warm night.
sunday afternoon – sitting on the patio at dodo cafe on xiaotang xiang in the sunshine, drinking a cup of tea with the fella, trying to spot who was wearing the least weather-appropriate clothing (winner: woman with knee-length puffy coat and furry boots).
this weather makes me love chengdu so much more.
easy there, chief. let’s look at the facts:
a) you are advertising for girls to give massages in australia – on a forum in china
b) it’s for ‘good $$$money’
c) it’s in richmond…..which coincidentally has a huge reputation for brothels employing asian girls who get lured from their respective home countries to melb with the promise of work or whatever, end up getting trapped into these places and owing heaps of dollars
so… you can see where we may have made a few assumptions.
saw a hotel today near kuanzhai xiang that at first glance i read “SOARING GENITAL HOTEL”.
was actually SOARING GENTAL… shame.
AMAZING show, the energy was incredible, bug and daddy freddy absolutely nailed it – it was electric! i thought it was easily the best performance we’ve had at xiong mao yet.
Bringing this back cuz I was at the Pug last night.. ended up waiting for someone for an hour so was just chillin and talking to Dana. Anyway, chillin and talking paid off as they let me sample the very first batch of their brand new BeerLaos-battered fish n chips. I just wanted to tell everyone how astoundingly good it was to have fish again for the first time in months… good, thick, perfectly cooked fish no less with an awesome crispy batter.
They said they will introduce the fish in the next couple of weeks. Seriously give this a try when it’s on the menu. Perfection. THANKS PUG!
So as I don’t have an oven I’ve been wanting to try making no-bake pizza for a while. Finally did it this evening fairly successfully.
FOR 2 SMALL PIZZAS YOU WILL NEED:
Dough
– 2.5 cups flour
– 1 tbsp baking powder (can get at Leanna’s Bakery – 9rmb for a bag)
– olive oil
– 1 cup of water
– 1 tsp salt
Sauce
– 4 med tomatoes OR 1 can tomatoes
– some ketchup
Toppings of your choice.. I used 1 sliced fresh tomato, some sliced mushrooms, red pepper, onion, sliced smoked pork from my local market and some grated cheese (thanks again to Leanna’s – 25rmb for 250g!)
1. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.
2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the cup of water, mix together w/ a wooden spoon til it starts to ball up.
3. Chuck some flour down on your counter. Knead the shit out the ball for 3 minutes. Keep flouring your hands/counter if it gets all sticky. Add more water if it’s too dry.
4. Roll er out into two thinnish round pizza bases. I used a wine bottle to do this. I drank the Merlot beforehand. Let the bases rest.
5. Dice up your tomatoes nice and small and put them in a pan. If using canned tomatoes, just dump em in there. I put a bit of that Merlot in as well along w/ the ketchup to thicken it up, some dried basil, salt and pepper. Let it simmer for ages so it gets all soft and squishy and saucey. Mash it up a bit with a fork for encouragement.
5. With a tiny bit of olive oil cook up your veggie toppings on low heat so they’re nice and warm and cooked through. Set aside.
6. Slick up your pan with olive oil. Toss your first pizza base down on there. Heat on med/low for about 8 minutes, or until bottom is golden and pizza is getting puffy.
7. Flip er around. Spread the tomato sauce on there, add your already-cooked toppings, your meat, and then lastly your cheese. Cover and leave on low heat for about 5 minutes or til cheese is melted. If your toppings are too thick your cheese may not melt very well so go easy on em.
8. Remove and serve!!! Repeat with the second base.
This was the perfect amount for a hungry Canuck and a iron-pumping Aussie. Only thing is next time I’d make the dough a bit thinner and have less toppings so the cheese melts through. Would also probs use a non-stick pan so it doesn’t get so oily. It’s a bit hard with our stove as well cuz the heat can’t really get that low – it’s either high, medium or off.
Here is a picture of the finished product:
Quote:Unless the temperature is below zero and you’re in a place of business, then for gods sake, don’t shut the window!! I need fresh air!!To take this point further – wearing coats everywhere in the winter because, as stated, the windows are wide open and the heater will never be turned on. I hate sitting in an office at my computer with my coat on and my fingers frozen to the keyboard.
Basically echoing everyone else’s sentiments but I’m also pretty happy about the cheaper ticket price. With a nice cold 7-11 Asahi, trees in the zombie fortress and good tunes in Panda I’ll be set.
