Obama cameo on "my black ass"

shakey, i'm aware of who kanye is and did not need his mini-bio, and still find him totally not entertaining at all. like even from the "haha it'd be hilarious for kanye to say something off the cuff and 'shocking' again wouldn't it?" standpoint that i'm kinda wondering if you're coming from...

Every Day Is Inaugural Ball-oween

can we start placing bets on who plays the inaugural ball?

I'm guessing Stevie Wonder, Wilco, fingers crossed for Jay-Z or Kanye

I was hearing Lupe was a solid bet--Chicago, "conscious," nothing for the wingnuts to take of context & go nuts about in terms of his lyrics--but I'd be super shocked if there was anybody there that homie would have to face inane questions about ("President Obama do you approve of the sentiments in "Cashmere Thoughts," and what do you say to your female supporters who are offended by them?").

wow 4 billion xps

I find Kanye kinda obnoxious on a personal level, enjoy some of his music, thought his Katrina moment was absolutely awesome, see some parallels between him and Obama that would make him a conceivably realistic choice - that's all

the boss

LOLOLOLOL - nabisco

John Mellencamp is a serious contender tho.. Indiana was a big win for Obama compared to 2004, also Mellencamp campaigned for Obama (and the Dems in general)

boner jamz

well yeah

teh bos

I think we need to find some guns and religion for daria to cling to

nothing for the wingnuts to take of context & go nuts about in terms of his lyrics

are you crazy??? also hes not nearly popular enough

Al Green

hey guys he's from CHICAGO what if CHICAGO played get it!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

el boso

KANSAS could open

then toto could play AFRICA!>!>!>!>>!>!>!

Chicago were ultimately an Los Angeles band, though (seriously!)

The Suburbs are going to reunite for a special one-time performance

Ugh... ok, Chicago if they only do first album jams like Poem and New Beginnings.

my friend took some really awesome pixx @ the rally - ill post some of them here soon

shhh deej we're talking about terrible bands with tenuous obama connections that could play at the inauguration

SAAAATURDAY IN THE PARK I THINK IT WAS THE 20TH OF JANUARY

smashing pumpkins obv

i bet theyll pick common cause hes boring and inoffensive and from chicago

NO SMASHING PUMPKINS

OK give Daria a break, what she's giving here is INFORMATION, not her personal opinion. Respect that.

No Common or Luda because they go to UCC. Kanye is a great fit actually and I'll eat my shoe if they don't at least invite Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who is basically now shielded from past associations by virtue of - if not his success - his marriage. Destiny's Child one-off for his girls instead? Female performer mentions thin on the ground here, disappointed!

MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT

BET ON IT

Also the dirt-off-shoulder as some kind of explicit Jay-Z riff seems really off to me -- surely the gesture's been in general circulation long enough that it's not some direct reference

I guess, but Jay-Z was the first thing I thought of when he did it

Dirt off shoulder? This is a thing?

Female performer mentions thin on the ground here, disappointed!
hard pressed to name a big female performer from Chicago, apart from Mavis Staples.

who would be a great choice, actually.

You can have them all...

Dwight D Eisenhower's first inauguration in 1953 was the longest ever. It included 73 bands, 59 floats and horses and elephants and lasted four-and-a-half hours.

I guess, but Jay-Z was the first thing I thought of when he did it

This is not particularly surprising considering how often Jay-Z is mentioned around this particular demographic combined with how much time we all waste here!

omg I really hope Obama gets an elephant instead of a puppy, gangsta

Ha, Shakey, I wouldn't have thought anything strange about considering it a gesture stemming from or with particular currency in some broader "hip-hop culture" or whatever weasely words you want to put there -- there was just something odd about quoting the single like the dude invented it

daria read the postmortem for the awesome stories basically

yeah, i'm trying. i just can't help but be stunned by the degree to which.. this is a group of writers i suppose.. they have internalized so many right wing talking points from the past few decades. there is specific language to this that continually jumps out at me. liberal media, my ass.

hey no worries i don't feel like anyone is getting on my shit here.

Liz Phair, duh

is she actually "big" anymore? I used to work with her dad.

Daria I have a hard time thinking of that group of writers as having internalized anything right-wing (and besides, the group of writers listed there are basically just the Newsweek reporting sources listed throughout, not authors) -- maybe helps to remember that they are talking about campaign optics more than reality here, so of course the language is going to play against party narratives on both sides.

mod request: move thread to ILM pls

nah shakey, she's slimmed down quite a bit

Killdozer, for god's sake

(ok, now following I DIED's lead from here on out)
