a South African who happens to be good at running and has a couple of artificial limbs

I feel this way about every attempt to make differently abled athletes "inspiring." No, the fact that a guy who has 100% use of his arms, but not his legs, does wheelchair races, is not "inspiring." His arms work normally, and that's what you use to operate a wheelchair. Same with running with state-of-the-art artificial limbs. No more or less "inspiring" than other athletes. Is it inspiring when a person with glasses reads a book?

exciting threads where for some reason fans of shitty indie bands rip on some shitty indie band that looks identical to the shit these people enjoy

What is the most overrated, the weakest, or doesn't even belong on the list? Or, if you like all of the picks, what is just not the same caliber as the rest? You may choose more than one album.
NOTE: I updated this poll to take account of the entire list.

have you heard Twin Infinitives by Royal Trux? It's demented and borderline incompetent

sarahell, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 20:01 (eight years ago) link

yeah but is it good

Yul Brynner playing table tennis with a deviled kidney (imago), Tuesday, 25 August 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link

yes

sarahell, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

cool, will give it a 'spin'

300+ posts about pitchfork is dumb because of list of albums by bands?

sarahell, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link

Lullaby Land -- Vampire Rodents

is this the Scaruffi equivalent of a fictitious dictionary entry?

scarlett bohansson (unregistered), Tuesday, 25 August 2015 20:20 (eight years ago) link

edge of the ape oven off Twin Infinitives is a fucking classic! Although I probably haven't heard in over a decade.

xelab, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link

it's a list of singles xxp

flopson, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:12 (eight years ago) link

it's the missing link between The Shaggs and Aerosmith

sarahell, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:12 (eight years ago) link

just listened to it for the first time in ages, it's still got it.

putin is reeling? because of this admin? really?
climate deal with china-- with *what* climate concessions from china?
normalized relations with cuba-- with *what* gains/conditions re human rights for cubans?
(i see 'ending iraq war' isn't mentioned as accomplishment, though of course this ‘achievement’— no sofa— occurred before lame duck)
(nor any mention of nsa, surveillance, governmental transparency or journalistic freedom)
(anything on overall or regional geopolitical situation(s)?)
(no comment from me on iran deal)
:/

No more two-timing, really. You guys never apologize or make up for the way you consistently bring negativity to a scene AND poison relationships. All you contribute is toxic bullshit and we get enough of that in our everyday life.

don't see how you can describe somebody as a "triathlete" if they've never completed a competition
