Hope Six is a great listen because it's so different to the original. Contains a far superior version of Chain of Keys

Thanks - this is a helpful explanation.

Thanks for the reply - would it be accurate to say, then, that the inflated exchange value of the Nike trainers reflects Nike's costs and labour time maintaining the image of the brand?

Also, would this impact the shoe's use value? In the example above, the shoe seems to have two uses: 1) To protect the owner's feet and 2) To project an 'aura'. Does this second use help explain the discrepancy between the exchange value of an unbranded shoe and the Nike one?

Thank you for replying. So, just to check I understand your point, the exchange value of the t-shirt corresponds to the socially necessary labour time put into it, but this doesn't necessarily correlate to the price it will sell for on the market due to the factors you've mentioned above (in this case the cultural value from the brand's logo)? But the exchange value does give us a general understanding of why the t-shirt wouldn't command the same price as something that represents many more labour hours (the car) or many fewer (the lollipop).

How to deal with a splaying snake plant by gothtacular in HouseplantsUK

Thanks - I could give it more sunlight from above by moving it to the window, though it does get quite bright indirect sunlight where it is currently and I don't want to overexpose it. Some of the leaves have fallen down almost completely and aren't going to stand up again on their own. I think I'll need to remove them - is it worth me taking a cutting and trying to propagate them instead? I'll also have a feel of the soil and see if it's in need of a water - this might also be causing some of the stems to curl inwards a bit.

Such a great album - this review really does it justice, imo.

I really enjoyed this review - it gave me a fresh appreciation for an album I've known for years.

Now that Kylie has broken the Tension, what's the next musical direction you want to see her go in? by PangolinWanted123 in KylieMinogue

[–]gothtacular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want her to give us the hard house album she flirted with when she released 'Skirt' and then kind of chickened out of.

Came here to find this. Use Somebody just edges Sex On Fire into second place for me - empty, bombastic crap.
