gareth wrote this on thread Just Blaze on board I Love Music on 30-Nov-2001

Timbaland and The Neptunes feature pretty big on ILM, but what do people think of Just Blaze (and indeed, Kanye West)?

i love the way the Blueprint sort of steps back, for the most part, from the Tim aesthetic, into this histrionic, even classicist, symphonic soul vibe. it should sound backward looking but it seemed to suit what Jay is saying ("i'm looking past you"). I only really know of Just Blaze because of The Blueprint, and also the last Beanie Sigel album (those last 3 tracks would have been a credit to the Blueprint, they just as good, no?)

so, forgive my ignorance, but what else have JB and KW done, and how long have they been doing stuff in this style (have they always been like this, or is this like a new direction). Why do they get less props than Tim/Neptunes (i imagine it is because Tim/Neptunes are more forward looking and 'sonically inventive'?)

Slimzee, Dizzee Rascal and Rolldeep Cru: wrestling UKG from the grubby Cristal staind mitts of So Solid et al, these and a slew of underground pirate operating dudes from all over London are making music ostensibly designed to dance to but more suited to mugging old ladies in Holloway. Abrasive, aggresive, alkaline and lots of other adjectives starting with 'A' (most importantly, ACE) the beats are more akin to neptunes productions like 'Grindin'; really minimal with blooping bass hiccups and industrial synthetic bells. Dizzee Rascal is 19 and arguably one of the finest mc's in london right now (rolldeep also have a 14 year old mc) his seminal release to date is 'I Love You' which you may've heard already... basically, sit by your radio tonight and flick through the original pirate material until you find the rolldeep show, it will blow your head off.

I think it's a precarious situtaion. A lot of his GOP support is of the reluctant 'tow the party line' variety (unlike, say Obama, whose fans seem determined to make this election the second coming of Beatlemania). So, on the one hand, he'd be wise to choose someone who represents a more traditionally conservative ideology. Huckabee or Romney would be the obvious (ie WRONG) choices in this regard.

However, he stands to lose the moderates and independents he's been courting since day one if he brings in some hardliner. I think he's acutrely aware of all this.

If he wants my vote he'll have to choose smart, sexy libertarian Sarah Palin.

It's one of my favourite albums of the year, and I think Make You Feel That Way is an extraordinarily beautiful track. And fuck trying to guess what will stand the test of time, I just like it because it sounds good to me now, and I don't think I can guess what will last anyway. Remember John Peel telling Tony Blackburn in the late '60s that Peel's favourites like Iron Butterfly and It's A Beautiful Day would be universally revered in the future while Blackburn's favourites like Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson would be contemptuously forgotten.

And fuck all this macho nonsense about not wanting to admit to liking it because it isn't all hard and aggressive. I like much softer stuff than this! And Nabisco is OTM (thanks to Graham's 'while you were writing...' feature).

All other donut shops are toast once Tim Horton's creeps in. They're on every corner here - WORSE THAN STARBUCKS - sometimes they put one on both sides of the street so that you don't have to go to the 'trouble' of turning across the traffic.
About that fast food smell - McDonald's is the worst for that. It's the beef flavouring that they put into the oil (to make the taste consistent with when the fries were done in beef tallow) - blearghhh. During my fast food tour of duty I was a cook for Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips. Now the smell of fried fish is *so* lovely let me tell you...

Subway's veggie and cheese subs rock - especially now that they've added all those fancy ass new breads. Dairy Queen, ironically, makes the best cheeseburgers. A&W is a close second. Harvey's Hamburgers aren't - but hey, if you like soy. Licks is good but weird and expensive.

I also like that Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich. Speaking of spicy chicken - has anyone else ever had a Nando's chicken sandwich? Oh so yummy! Unfortunately, all known outlets here appear to have closed.

Actually quantizing something happens whenever a signal goes from analog to d - to digitize it means you have to turn it into a number, or a quantity, thus the term.

Cher's voice was recorded and then adjusted with tuning plugins for Pro Tools - Autotune, which you can hear on a ton of studio records nowadays (Linkin Park anyone?) forces notes to adhere to a pitch-perfect steady tone, which kind of makes a voice sound vocoderish, and other plugins which allow for pitch to be transposed an octave or two without losing too much of its timbre.

Matt Maxwell is right about the method except I'm not so sure about the 'on-the-fly' part.

I hate Pro Tools plugins.

I didn't like the hype around the Strokes for a couple of months and I let that colour my perception of the band. I was wrong - started liking them a bit after "Hard To Explain" came out, bought the album rather nervously and immediately enjoyed it. I'm sorry to break up the ILM consensus, not that there was one.

The reason FT's talking about them now is that all the hype and anti- hype about the Strokes was saying basically the same things and that wasn't what I was hearing on the record, so I thought I might as well write about that.

The growing intelligence of the evidence of Al Qaeda's Osama bin Laden's terrorism network

Yet more evidence this was reported yesterday ! September 9, 2001 - On Videotape, Bin Laden Charts a Violent Future

He tells followers that there is nothing to fear from the United States and that their Islamic faith — and their willingness to die — is enough to neutralize America's military might.

Much of the tape focuses on the current upheaval in Israel and the Palestinian territories. What is not clear, say intelligence experts, is whether Mr. bin Laden plans to mount direct attacks on Israeli targets, or whether he is firing followers' passions for attacks elsewhere. "Our brothers in Palestine are waiting for you anxiously, and expect you to strike at America and Israel," Mr. bin Laden says. "God's earth is wide and their interests are everywhere."

What more evidence do you require?

this film is propaghanda for a christianity that is legalistic (which paul warns against)--by that legalism the view of the church as alive and interacting with its traditions is lost, with these things lost, there is also lost the progressive church inspired by a view and of Jesus as a radical and progessive social leader.

he is v. much informed as well by a political agenda that is as conserative as it comes.

i went in '99 - really enjoyed it. the venue is actually brilliant because you're in the Bowl which is this valley-like plain and you have high hills surrounding the site so jeep lights at the top look like meteors, haha. its fairly easy to get to but it did take quite a long time to get in at about 4pm on the Saturday, traffic jams etc. - people being too monged to park properly etc. other potential highlights: the line-up is usually the best any big dance event gets in the UK nowadays, those silver sheets that keep you warm at night, the possibility of bumping into Russell Brand and attempting to 'out-loon' him with your deranged ramblings about The Flumps, losing all your mates before 10pm and not seeing them again until 5am at the earliest...
one downside is its corporate branding central and if you're not with Orange you probably wont be able to charge your phone unless they've switched to Vodafone for a site charging station this time, but thats no big deal considering its a 20 hour event or thereabouts. be wary of scallies on the blag and security corps rummaging through your bags for smuggled booze and spliffs tho eh?

Actually, here's an interesting story that just popped up on the BBC newssite. In particular one section leapt out at me, framed as it was by this thread in ways:
According to Adil Rehman, the college plays a vital role by creating a generation of Muslims capable of interpreting Islam to the West and vice-versa.

"The irony is that this type of institute can only really develop in the freedom provided by the West.

"But the reason is clear if you think about it. Here the political systems have no understanding of Islam, so they cannot direct it or make people think in a particular way.

"In the East, it is different. Governments there are well-versed in manipulation. They know what they want you to learn and what they don't want you to learn," he said.

The conclusion is also intriguing as well:

However not all Muslims are happy with the course Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy has taken, nor with the growing influence of the IEHS and its parent body, the Union of Islamic Organisations in France (UOIF).

on the misogynist rapper tip, i always loved Public Enemy, yet Eminem leaves me feeling stale and cold- chalk that one up to the backing tracks. acts like the Beastie Boys got better with age not just because they matured, but as they matured they seemed to care a hell of a lot more about their fanbase.

i thought the UNKLE album was disappointing mainly because of the songs- while i enjoy DJ Shadow, he is not UNKLE. it showed on this album. also, while i like a lot of Mo'Wax records, their scene seems too clique-ish, too hipper-than-thou, much like Nigo's Bathing Ape clothing line, which as an eternal Planet of the Apes fan, i love.

Don't hold back, Ally; tell us how you really feel.

I must say, I'm somewhat surprised to discover that someone else doesn't understand the fascination with the lead singer. I mean, she has a decent voice but she is rather emphatically NOT all that. Most people I know who talk about them talk about her as being the best part of the band. YIKES. Musically, I find them infinitely more intersting. when they're doing bluegrass stuff. I saw a "Behind The Music"-style program on them and their rise to fame and the old clips where they were a four-piece that wore unabashedly tacky Grand Ole Opry-style spanglewear and did ferocious bluegrass were easily the most enjoyable parts of the program.

Had they broken into the mainstream with their bluegrass stuff, they'd be a classic. As it stands, I sometimes have problems telling them apart from The Corrs. DUD.

Hahaha that was funny when Ellie said "man."

I would answer the question, but I've stopped using the fridge due to proliferation of roommate's rotting items, most of which were foul even before they began rotting. There could be stacks of cash in there, the smell still wouldn't be worth opening the door. By way of explanation, the roommate has been doing nothing all summer apart from lying around with no shirt on, sweating on my previously- white couch; his primary entertainment has been finding new markets at which to buy food, then making the food, eating three bites, and putting the remainder, uncovered, in what I'll very charitably still describe as a fridge. I would desperately like to do something about this, but unlike the roommate I actually work during the day and often see friends at night, meaning I have neither the time nor the energy to bother about it. My only recourse is bitching, which I don't enjoy doing -- so I don't. It was nice knowing you, fridge. Remember when we had the mashed-up tropical fruit to cook the salmon in? Yeah, yeah, good times.

Album charts: Dido (imminently to be done on Naked Maja) still at #1, Strokes in at #2 same as last time. Two new entries for Rod the Sod; Songs By Old People Vol 2 in at #4, early Rod/Faces Changing Faces 2CD comp in at #13. Other greatest hits compilations entering: Texas (5), Erasure (15), Suede (31). Kish Kash enters at #17. Jamie Cullum, who'll probably end up outselling every one of these albums, in at #22. Lower down: Myleene Klass (32), Joe Strummer (50) and Amy Winehouse (60).

On checking Frank has just gone over the 600,000 mark and Twentysomething has sold about 650,000 so astonishingly my prediction is still accurate though probably only in terms of UK sales and probably not for much longer.

I've always been kind of on the fence about the Replacements. There are a couple of nice moments in their early songs, but I have always suspected the fawning praise from the indie-boy critics had more to do with their beery self-mythology than the music.

Saying that people who don't like them "don't get it" sounds a little too uncomfortably close to the rantings of an 11 year old angry at some critic for dissing Justin Timberlake. And the 11 year old has more of an excuse.

A few random rantings from the GF:

Credit where it's due: Goldspink and his mates did an A1 job and provided a clinic of how ALL matches should be umpired. They certainly did their bit to make the match great.

Saw some footage last week from about 1977 of Sean Dempster's old man Graeme in action on one of those Footy Flashback grabs Foxtel use to fill five minutes now and again. He was built like a pool cue, long straggly hair, tight, short shorts, he looked like a cross between Warwick Capper and Dave Hill from Slade. Fortunately Demps Jnr inherited all Snr's ability and none of his looks.

When Paul Roos mentioned 'the true believers' he was referring to the old South Melbourne diehards, but he used a very Sydney phrase (most famously used by that cartoon Sidneylander and five-minute Collingwood supporter Paul Keating) to do it. The man has class. If he hadn't, he may have been tempted to give Dick Colless the Alan Scott treatment.

I'm definitely a rather off-the-cuff purchaser, probably because I often find interest in albums that I just plain don't hear much about. So I'll read some post about it on a forum, realize that it sounds really interesting, find it fairly cheap and give it a shot.
It's worked quite danged well; though I've definitely hit some amazing duds this way.
I come from a metal and punk background though, so charts etc never really was much of an issue with me; I sorta got used to this method from the get-go; though I've definitely gotten less tight on the ol' money-pouch over the years (well, tightening it up again nowadays, as I'm trying to convince myself that I have so many CDs that there's no reasons to order more all the time)

I think I'm more apt to do impulse purchases in jazz, as there I'll often go "ahh, Mingus plays on it? Well gee! Probably rules then!"
While in genres like f.ex. metal where I'm all jaded and crappy now I'll just go "i bet that sucks too - BALEETED!"
I'd go back and fix this post up into something that was interesting and made sense, but I leave that to you guys!

Of course it'll never happen, the two are interdependent and have been for years, although this may not last much longer. It's difficult to see who of the other big boys would be in there with a chance though - Jack Straw has been very quiet of late but is too closely affiliated with Blair and I suspect that Blunkett or Clarke or whoever are too unpopular.

And there's no one else really, unless someone rises to prominence bigstyle over the next couple of years. Although people are always talking up David Miliband and Hilary Benn and people like that as future leaders, but future = 15 odd years away in this case.

Phenomenal live, when I saw them just after the first LP, but then I was absolutely trolleyed, if that's the word I'm looking for, since none of my hipster friends were willing to go, so I got pissed first on green banana vodka. Still no idea what the wretched stuff was made off.

By the way, what's this Mark Radcliffe, MArk Radcliffe show stuff--is this a Lard diss, or is Robin trying to suggest that they've gone rubbish since they sold out and went to commercial broadcast hours when five million people might get to listen to their show and enjoy them. ;-)

i try to keep my headphones fastened to my head for at least 6 out of the 7 hours i'm working; then when i get home i usually listen to music for 2 or 3 hours in the evening, with breaks for reruns of the simpsons.

personally i've been trying to slow down my record buying, just due to the fact that i do have a stack of CDs i've only listened to one or two times - but lately i've been developing better habits about listening to things, trying not to get too obsessive over albums so i don't burn out on them and exclude other things that might be just as appealing but take longer to get into. don't want to let the new missy elliott overshadow avey tare, panda bear & geologist or bladder flask, after all.

Dance-hall. Lately though I've been overhearing some stuff that sounds kind of interesting. Also, some of the Latin nights I go to play some dance-hall (is this term even used any more?) with Spanish lyrics, or something of that sort, and it's okay. There's some genre called reggaeton, but I'm not sure what that is.

Weird, I thought "would smash" was a Brit construction...

That's probably because Dom did the most to popularize it on here, but it doesn't originate with him.

as a member of the kj mailing list that has invaded this board i think it's interesting to hear people attack the band coz we're all so used to agreeing with each other on how awesome they are etc. and it's good to have to defend them for once. firstly, i'd say kj are an innovative, highly influential band with a varied output, always exploring new musical territories and certainly worth checking out. the music is not to everyone's taste, a bit serious for some people, perhaps. a bit silly for others. that's cool. geordie is one of the most accomplished guitarists on the planet and has a unique style that i personally find very compelling. jaz coleman is a talented loon. i think by and large they appeal to sensitive introspective types more than metal-heads. phrases like 'honour the fire' etc are just a bit of fun not to be taken seriously and there's certainly more to them than your average metal band. at least jaz explores a wide range of ideas and his lyrics can be insightful sometimes but also very cheesy too. anyway, here comes the plug: if you'd like to find out more about killing joke check out my website: "http://www.the-last-laugh.com";. there are loads of mp3s and videos and articles so at least you'll be able to make a balanced decision.

16. “The Army of Crime” (Robert Guédiguian)
17. “Outside the Law” (Rachid Bouchareb)
18. “Audrey the Trainwreck” (Frank V. Ross)
19. “Boxing Gym” (Frederick Wiseman)
20. “Catfish” (Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman)
21. “Cyrus” (Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass)

23. “Get Him to the Greek” (Nicholas Stoller)
24. “Spring Fever” (Lou Ye)
25. “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” (Edgar Wright)

I'd actually agree with a number of those, despite the fact that Brody annoys the living crap out of me most of the time.

Paul Krugman's columns are very informative and very insightful. You may have seen the red/blue maps with relative population density factored in. A totally different picture. Most of those red states are mountains, deserts, plains, and forests. Some states have more livestock than people. One personal observation though. There aren't self-reliant, rugged individualists left in this nation anymore. We're one ignorant nation of self-centered sheeple.

Dan Perry, I agree that rural America can be dangerous, but I think you exaggerate a bit. Rural America is not really that dangerous on the whole, but a large proportion of crime is in the suburbs and small/medium sized cities. I live in Florida, a state which cannot begin to make any claims of moral superiority. It's a real cesspool down here. Florida is the second-chance and has-been state. America's failures seem to eventually make it down here. The Miami metro area represents just about everything that's wrong with the nation. Orlando and Tampa are disgusting places with disgusting people. Really, it's a different country down in South Florida. I'm not all that pessimistic though. That's just the way I see it. Good people live all over the country. And very many rural Americans really are good-natured and pleasant and more tolerant that one might expect. If I broke down, I would expect more help and kindness from the rural folk than some middle class suburbanite who lives in a gated subdivision.

For a start I do not mean comfort music as in comfort food. I mean music that has a revitalizing effect that inspires non-self-deleterious mindsets and behavior, like if anything with a beat makes you resent being sober. For instance, music that reminds me of academia and productiveness is good for me, like when I'm listening to that plucky Mark Mothersbaugh inst. track from Rushmore when I'm driving. I imagine the street being lined with ivy and myself having the stamina to even walk a single fucking block, maybe wearing a vest and shit. I even make little twitches with my imaginary moustache when I feel like this.

Yeah, the self-satisfied smugness of large proportions of the anti-corporate movement is pretty much what stops it from being as effective as it could and should be. On the other hand Robin, I'd say your formulation of socialist politics and perceptions has been largely superseded - the socialists *own* the anti-corporate debate at university, and they're the major instigators of the elitism as far as I can tell. They've all read third hand descriptions of Adorno and "know" that everyone not in the movement is a mindless zombie hypnotised by the culture industry - an all to easy and often hypocritical explanation, as far as I'm concerned.

A similar situation has developed in radical feminist and queer politics, where the enemies are no longer men and straights so much as unenlightened feminine women and straight-friendly gays and lesbians. But then I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that reason doesn't enter into uni politics. Reason? We've got the rest of our lives for that!

Blame New Labour for foot-and-mouth, tour the "heartlands" denouncing the internet and stirring up contempt for immigrants and asylum seekers, warn that Britain will be turned into a "foreign land" during a second Labour term, endlessly get photographed sympathising with beleagured West Country farmers, and then lose 75% of your safest rural seats to the LibDems, and the other 25% to Labour. Consign your leader to the backbenches, promote the man who said "Mess with the SAS and you mess with Britain" to leader as your token liberal, gradually descend more and more into disarray, break up, see your moderate members join the LibDems or Labour and your hardline members join UKIP or the BNP, be the subject of countless tearful obituaries in the Telegraph, cease to exist, and then be remembered only as the subject of innumerable retrospective books and TV series for the rest of time.

I find his canonistion problematic, even though he was a personable and approachable fellow. One above average record and an interesting live set does not a classic make.

There have to be so many reasons. Upbringing, peer pressure, feeling threatened. What is odd is that I seem to get along better with women than with men. Not sure why, although some people claim I'm so effeminate I practically *am* a woman. Hmmmmm.

Paul Krugman's columns are very informative and very insightful. You may have seen the red/blue maps with relative population density factored in. A totally different picture. Most of those red states are mountains, deserts, plains, and forests. Some states have more livestock than people. One personal observation though. There aren't self-reliant, rugged individualists left in this nation anymore. We're one ignorant nation of self-centered sheeple.

Help! We appear to be trapped in a moebius loop involving Fugazi! The concept of the Moebius is the basis of a song by Orbital. The Orbital is a big road that goes all the way around the outside of London. London is not only home to many fine bands, but it is also namechecked in songs and albums by bands from The Clash to Blur. Blur's guitarist, Graham Coxon, has recorded several solo albums which pay great homage to the hardcore punk aesthetic and guitar work of... ARGH!!! FUGAZI!!!

There was very little music written exclusively for flute as a solo instrument until Debussy's Syrinx. Many think Syrinx is about Pan chasing Syrinx...but in fact the piece was written for a play. It was performed at then end of Mourey's play, Psyche, and the only piece of music in this play (although it originally was intended that more should happen). So Syrinx was a commissioned piece by Mourey. The flute was laid alongside pan in the last scene as he dies. A short line was read, and then the piece was played offstage, originally debuted by Louis Fleury Dec. 1, 1913. Syrinx is the name of the woman that Pan (half man/half goat) chased through the woods in pursuit of her (she was completely and utterly disgusted by this half beast who lusted after her), and she came to the river begging the nymphs to assist her, and they allowed her to be disguised as a reed. Unfortunately Pan plucked the reed and whittled an instrument, the pan pipes, if you will, out of this reed. The original title which is still on the sheet music is, is La Flute de Pan (the flute of pan)....which fits the play by Mourey.....Debussy did not think of this piece nor his sound ideas as "impressionistic" but rather he called them an "arabesque".....

The deal is, Debussy opened the door for solo flute works. Edgar Varese walked through that door, ahead of his time. Trained as an engineer he was very excited by new sounds....attempting to transcend city sounds into new ideas of dissonance and consonance and such. One must recall, that cities were being built, new ideas of construction and the skyscraper came into being. To this end, he explored the full range of acoustic instrument preferring not to reinvent the wheel, theoretically speaking. Even in school, he chose not to follow the rules of theory to compose. He was well liked, and knew everyone of his time. Density 21.5 was also a commissioned piece: George Barerres (sp?) requested he compose it for the inauguration of the Platinum flute at the 1938 (I think was the year) World's Fair. The title is derived from the density of platinum; however, recent study shows that the density is actually something like 21.53 (or whatever...another digit) and Varese wanted the title corrected, but it never took. The piece is about exploring acoustically electronic sounds. Varese is considered the 'Father of Electronic Music.' Varese was french born but spent most of his adult life in America. He knew, among other famous personalities such as Picasso, Anais Nin, who wrote in her 3rd diary (if memory serves) around page 140 or so where she quotes him in the peak of his depression something to the effect of "America does not like my music...." After Density, Varese really fell into quite a funk and didn't compose a thing!

His house was quite interesting with all kinds of instruments donated to him by friends. It wasn't until the late 50s that he received his first anonymous donation of some electronic equipment from Ampex Corporation in Redwood City, California, USA. He was ecstatic. He also worked with Phillips Corp. and he was at several other world fairs. Philips pulled him out of retirement, for all intense purposes, in his 70s! People had forgotten he was still alive.

Density 21.5 explored the hemiola (3 notes evenly distributed against 2 beats), the triplet, duples (8th notes), and the idea of dramatic expression wherein, I sense, the loud/soft dynamic markings are not so much about a "classical" creation of volume, rather about an "electric" sound of wooshing or leaning in and out, and sometimes suddenly the volume is turned up. This piece explores the complete range of the flute, from middle C to D4....although there are a few other 4th octave notes the flute can play.

Between Debussy & Varese, the literature for solo flute was opened widely between these 2 efforts, and other pieces are in the fore as pieces to play for solo flute, Jolivet....Honegger.....and much more. Density isn't played publicly as much anymore, which is sad. It's a piece you either love or hate, generally....I, as a flutist, like it very much because it feels like a whole new vocabulary of notes.

Many up & coming flutists tend to not play this piece accurately, ignoring the rhythms at times, playing parts too fast, not understanding the "electric" nature of the piece.

Varese is a very interesting personality to me. He was clearly an intelligent and passionate man. I have records of his with brass, percussion and other instruments. It takes a bit of getting used to, and for those who are more major/minor oriented, this music is disturbing and aggressive and senseless. However, as a musician, his music is difficult to play effectively, requires volumes of air, control and thinking your way through the story, and knowledge of one's instrument.

I am pleased to say that I am lucky in that I've been asked to play these 2 pieces back to back at a modern music concert tomorrow, and I chose them as contrasting pieces of the 20th century in the flute repertoire, the Syrinx being rather melodic and somewhat haunting and the story line quite clear and the colors expressive versus the angularity, the wide intervals, the intensity of the dramatic dynamic markings, the key clicks (which should sound like a cork popping), and not rushing through the rests. Syrinx keeps that Bb coming back, so having a steady Bb every time one arrives at it is important. The section on the second page is clearly about modes and many flub this section (Bb/B/Db/Ebb....). Varese is about the rhythmic structure, that hemiola keeps coming back and the last note of these always gets short shrift unless well practiced....the F/E/F# figure (2 16ths/8th notes into a tie....)

Both Debussy & Varese were also interested in expanding the range of individual instruments.....

In this way, both Debussy & Varese contributed greatly to pulling the flute out of the orchestra and into a place in its own right, and other composers followed suit exploring yet further the timbre of this instrument, changing it from its perception of something ethereal and uplifting to being nearly brassy and brash, with a voice of its own.

what riled me originally is what i perceived in some posts as an assumption that happyslappers are just this absolute aberration; that they're a tiny number of bad apples and that once we've rounded them up and shot them all, we'll be fine. what i'm suggesting instead is that instead of condemning, we - as a "society", whatever the fuck that might be - try to understand why a small but significant number of young people do this kind of thing. basically: what is society (that word again) doing to these people to turn them into such disenfranchised, antisocial, fucked-up pieces of shit?

remember when john major came out with "understand less, condemn more"? that was proof incarnate that he was a total cunt. i was being overly glib above when i said we shouldn't condemn/blame the individual: but FFS, if we don't try to work out WHY this is happening, we're all fucked.

i've had many stand-up yelling marches with workmates. many of my other workmates have done likewise. i think it's par for the course in newsrooms. fuck's sake, legend has it that an old dude brought a gun in one day and threatened to shoot the then editor. (he was taken to the pub and rendered paralytic, as a safety measure.) i also tried to fight -- properly -- a sports editor one night in a club. luckily for me, i think, he was less pissed and talked me out of it.

best office fight ever: a seemingly good-natured tussle between two (now very respected) hacks, some years ago, that suddenly became truly vicious and involved one of them twatting the other over the head with a 12" record. (no, i can't remember what it was.)

And my parent's have been married since 1955. Although not that happily, I think. But I'd say marriage/commitment=classic, the actual wedding thing=dud. I just find them unbearable. I'm usually very happy for the couple, but do we really all need to gather together to celebrate it? It gives me the creeps.

Gov. Bush & his mystical buddy

After more than an hour of solemn ceremony naming Rep. Marco Rubio, R-West Miami, as the 2007-08 House speaker, Gov. Jeb Bush stepped to the podium in the House chamber last week and told a short story about "unleashing Chang," his "mystical warrior" friend.

Here are Bush's words, spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians:
''Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

''I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.''

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

''I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior,'' he said, as the crowd roared.

The crowd, however, could be excused for not understanding Bush's enigmatic foray into the realm of Eastern mysticism.

We're here to help.

In a 1989 Washington Post article on the politics of tennis, former President George Bush was quoted as threatening to ''unleash Chang'' as a means of intimidating other players.

The saying was apparently quite popular with Gov. Bush's father, and referred to a legendary warrior named Chang who was called upon to settle political disputes in Chinese dynasties of yore.

The phrase has evolved, under Gov. Jeb Bush's use, to mean the need to fix conflicts or disagreements over an issue. Faced with a stalemate, the governor apparently "unleashes Chang" as a rhetorical device, signaling it's time to stop arguing and start agreeing.

No word on if Rubio will unleash Chang, or the sword, as he faces squabbles in the future.

“These guys [newly elected Tea Party candidates]” are going to force Romney to the right,” said Andrea Shell, a spokeswoman for Tea Party group Freedom Works. “That is our entire mission.”…

“If we can elect a really conservative House and Senate that will force Romney to go along with our bold conservative agenda,” Shell said. “He’s going to have to really, really go to the right. He’ll be working with guys in the House and Senate. He won’t be able to get away with too many middle of the road policies, especially on things like the deficit.”…

“It’s not going to be a Romney driven presidency,” Norman Orenstein, a researcher at the conservative think tank AEI recently told ABC News. “It’s going to be a Congressional, conservative, Republican driven presidency from Congress.”

Violence Reverses Gains In Iraq.

Iraqi security officials say al Qaeda-linked fighters from the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, are moving aggressively to re-establish a base of operations in Anbar province, the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency during the U.S.-led war.

If the extremists succeed, they would undo one of the hardest-fought gains of U.S. forces and their Iraqi allies. By the time of the U.S. pullout at the end of 2011, the insurgency had been significantly weakened, in large part by a U.S. alliance with moderate Sunni tribesmen.

Whoever the GOP puts up their main task is going to be turning out disheartened GOP voters. One of the many reasons Hilldog makes me nervous: the Clintons are great for GOP turnout.

miloauckerman (miloauckerman) wrote this on thread I CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT OUR PRESIDENT IS DEPLORABLY INARTICULATE on board I Love Everything on Apr 22, 2004

Because it acomplishes nothing. While you'll probably never cast the deciding vote in a Presidential election, you have even less say without voting at all. It has more to do with what you think than what I think.
No, I have the same say.
To say it again, voting is the absolute least-involved you can be in the political process without not taking part at all. Don't act like voting is some grand, meaningful gesture. For most Americans who even bother to vote, they're voting against one guy. It's a purely reactionary response.

What's the sham, Milo? If you don't feel like a major candidate represents you, vote for a third party. Even the Nadar people have figured that out. But furthermore why does a candidate have to represent everything you stand for? It's not just about YOU.
What's the point in voting for a third-party? Unless I live somewhere that I can elect Bernie Sanders (and let's be honest, dude might as well join the Dems), a third-party vote is meaningless.

I voted for Nader in 2000 hoping beyond hope for 5%. Now, if Democrats were interested in anything but their own power and influence, they would have encouraged Nader voters in Texas, or in New York, or anywhere that the election was locked up before it began. They would have encouraged a progressive voice, and they would have welcomed a message from the left that wasn't bought and sold by corporate donors. Instead they attacked and vilified and attacked and vilified and did what they have to do to win elections, made it a contest of who could scare people more. And continue to do so (cf. Alterman v. McGruder).

The sham is the idea that the major parties are interested in anything more than their own power (ironically, the Republicans are more interested in serving their voters, perhaps because their voters are into power too), and that voting is a meaningful action.

As for the self-involved, "it's not about you" - bullshit. You're not stumping for Kerry out of altruism. It's not a question of the goodness of your heart. You're voting for your own selfish reasons, just like everyone else. Kerry's beliefs are something you support, so you're going to vote for him. Or Kerry's beliefs are just better enough to let you vote against Bush.

My instinct is yes, but I haven't really thought about it enough or read enough analysis of places like Australia where voting is mandatory to make an informed decision.

Forcing someone to vote when they don't want to would be a disaster. What next, enforced voter education, to make sure the decisions are informed?

You want to solve voter apathy? Don't have people like Kerry and Bush at the top of the ticket.

******

you've just outed yourself as a laissez-faire capitalist. I don't know what you're doing voting for Nader.

Your vote has nothing to do with you, you're voting for Kerry out of the goodness of your heart, just a gift to the rest of us.

I know. We need to get past this partisanship. I mean, Bush isn't so bad.

That's the thing, and this goes back to what John D. said in the other thread - you wouldn't have a problem with Bush if he had a D next to his name. You're OK with Clinton fucking poor people and killing people halfway around the globe and refusing to do anything for basic civil rights.

Your problem isn't that Bush is "so bad," but that Bush is on the wrong team.

That's the problem with your partisanship, it has no basis in principle.

I thought the cut-off was 1981, with the MILLENIALS (worst gen-nickname ever) starting in '82. But that was something I read in Time or Newsweek years ago.

this seems to be first use of "millenial" wrt a generation, rather than in the sense of "relating to the millennium"

Neil Howe and William Strauss, who have done a lot of research on U.S. generations, break the 20th century into the following categories:
G.I Generation: 1901 to 1924
Silent Generation: 1925 to 1942
Boomer Generation: 1943 to 1960
13er Generation (Gen. X): 1961 to 1981
Millenial Generation (Gen. Y): 1982 to 2003

Which is an average of 20 years per generation.
