Weak!

nabisco will be all over this

x-files are great.

X-Files story arc episodes sucks in later seasons

yeah they do. they should have ended around season 5 or so

worst last episode ever. worse than seinfeld.

my favorite zinging of gygax (RIP) was posting that img after he corrected someone on minor Boredoms trivia

where's that LJ post where he narrates "The Rainbow" by Talk Talk? It was v. cringeworthy.

that sounds like something i'd want to read.

rather than sending it, i shall describe it for you.

A single horn (trumpet?) sounds.

Flourish of violins and other assorted strings. A low sound, much like a tuba, is also detectable.

The horn sounds again, a few semitones lower. It begins to play a slow tune.

Enter piano and some rain effects. The low tuba thing goes on.

Ethereal moans and wail permeate the song.

Suddenly, an oscillating, windy pumping noise fills the speakers, dying away as soon as it arrives. As it returns for the second time, however, a bluesy guitar riff bursts in unexpectedly.

Along with a distorted harmonica.

Some muted percussion is also audible.

Hollis begins to sing: "Oh yeah, the world's turned upside down..."

Shall I continue?

much like a tuba

vintage zing from MJ

LJ = Marcello in the making. not that that's a bad thing. but mark my words.

"...Jimmy Finn is out..."

It was v. cringeworthy.

Well, how can that be fair at all?

LJ = Marcello in the making. not that that's a bad thing

Lenient.

yay attention whore LJ is back.

HAHAHAHAH!

God, reading that made me never want to listen to a note of TT :/

if by 'making a joke' one attention-seeks, then i think we're all frequently guilty, grady.

Nobody's innocent, some are more guilty than others, etc etc

oh well this thread just turned out hilarious.

it may seem silly to ask about something this mundane but i always wanna know. There's this certain "glass" sound that can be heard in many Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis productions ... How was it created?
-- startrekman, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:15 (2 years ago) Link

i know that song inside and out and i don't know which keyb line you are talking about. the long high line or one of the more staccato runs?
-- g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:21 (2 years ago) Link

no not a keyboard sound but a drum machine sound, theres this certain "glass sound" that comes from a drum machine of some sort.
-- startrekman, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:23 (2 years ago) Link

as in the whole drum pallette sounds "glassy" or there is one particular sound that sounds like glass (breaking?)? you're pretty inarticulate for a formalist.
-- g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:31 (2 years ago) Link

there is one sound from a drum machine that sounds like glass Mr Geoff.

No, it's not made with blood diamonds, that's one thing he insisted on and made sure were sourced appropriately. I don't know the guy enough to call wanker on him, but I know he's done some nice things for other friends which alleviate the potential for wankery which is so obviously there.

Ran into one of my artworld stately homo friends last night, who said he'd boycotted the opening and now heard that there had been these really OTT goodie bags handed out to the celebrity art tourists who did go. Despite these being rammed full of luxury goods he did not regret his decision in the least because the work and whole phenomenon of Damien bling was large steaming pile of wank.

Oh God shut up shut up shut up!

Does she do it on purpose?

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41X6CQVD28L._SS500_.jpg

it would be more in character if she mentioned someone's daddy

I implied nothing of the sort. I simply popped in for lunch with Andreas and ran into the Chapman boys. Do behave!

she's actually a 45 year old dude in cleveland right?

someone really needs to make a suzy compilation thread, she manages to namedrop in almost every post she's made but no one calls her out on it

step up and be a hero dude.

yeah i mean the gay dude didnt want the swag yeeeeaaaah riiiiiiight whaeva

someone really needs to make a suzy compilation thread, she manages to namedrop in almost every post she's made but no one calls her out on it

i just did call her out on the hirst thread! i don't think she (or tracer hand) gets it

If you think no one calls her out, you havn't been paying attention for long enough -- there's a history of sparring over this exact topic, but you know, for everything there is a season...maybe the time is ripe to revisit all possible permutations of this stage play. Program, please!

I actually met Drew once at Reading festival; Eric from Hole was her b/ f at time but I just remember being very drunk etc. and introduced to this girl and sort of said hi. Weeks later my friend said that girl was Drew. Hmmm.

i haven't noticed the history of sparring. i remember someone making a "i think you dropped something joke" or whatever. anyway:

jess once did a pitch perfect imitation of her on some thread lost to the ages

posts on fleek

Stevenson, as usual, is knowledgeable, brisk, cool in his assessments of Western military and intelligence. A great LRB asset.

He doesn't mention the oddest thing about "Five Eyes", that most people (not all) have two eyes and thus, for a better image, five subjects with eyes should really add up to "Ten Eyes".

Not controversial here. For example, Christina Rossetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter is set near the winter solstice. By the same token, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream takes place on the night of summer solstice. Thus we are reminded that for most of the past centuries, summertime ended on the autumnal equinox at September 21st, which was also when winter began.

fwiw the system used to allow you to vote as many times you wanted as long as your votes were paced a certain interval (one week? two weeks?) apart. but at least one poster abused the system by voting 10+ times in polls with distant closing dates, so the mods may have tightened up the polling regulations since I regularly pulled that shit

Al Jazeera is mostly staffed by ex-BBC broadcasters and journalists including my old friend Imran Khan, who is currently reporting from Ramallah. I’m terrified for him but if you’re on Insta he’s @imranism and worth a follow.

I'm not sure why I'd take any of this seriously, but it's how I roll.

The 'thing' is unspecified. Based on my reading of the text, the breaking of his heart is not the 'thing' itself, but rather the effect it has on him. First she does the 'thing', then it breaks his heart. He understands she is unaware of the effect the 'thing' has on him, so the effect is incidental rather than intended.

While the specific 'thing' is left to the imagination of the audience, the set of realistic interpretations will cluster around her being cute, lovable and mildly flirtatious, without seriously considering the narrator as suitable for an amorous relationship. It is the first of these attributes of the 'thing' that make it hard to forget her, but it is the last of these attributes that causes him heartbreak/heartache, which is why he singles it out as the required remedy for his heartbreak in the later stanzas.

All of the foregoing amply proves that a careful dissection of the rhetorical constructs of this lyric is overblown silliness.

wrong thread!

too lazy to actually do it, but I'd like to see a string of posts in the vein of all the times Ned said "flounces off" or Alfred said "rescreened," but for table is the table and "genocidaire."

Well, I'm gonna flounce off to rescreen that genocidaire."

On a related note, do you still keep contact with your "film critic friend" these days, jay?

lol i haven't seen him in a few years but he is now managing editor of R0g3rEb3rt.c0m.

Nice!

preemptive post here that every random ilm thread bump i do over the next six months is going to be 'i played this at the gay club it was fun'

from the month's USpol thread

As a few people have pointed out, that seems irrelevant. Trump won't be running against himself four years ago, he'll be running against Biden today.

This really resonated with me earlier today (from Goethe's Elective Affinities, which Sam Wasson's Coppola book and One from the Heart led me to):

'After Fallows departed in 1979, Hertzberg became Carter's chief speechwriter. Hertzberg was an author of President Jimmy Carter's July 15, 1979, speech on energy conservation, widely known as the "Malaise Speech"...'

(I'm with Dorothea in 20th Century Women--I like the Malaise Speech. But maybe not ideal for galvanizing support, so glad it wasn't Fallows.)

Ditto Mickey Mantle--why he said he never bothered taking care of himself.

I read that Matthew Yglesias column that was posted yesterday. I'm learning about fluid intelligence vs. crystallized intelligence--he mentioned it, and so did a doctor CNN had on yesterday. Fluid intelligence is the one that fades: your ability to respond to new information and think on your feet (as opposed to learned skills/information). I think I have a bigger problem with crystallized intelligence, which is why I sit there staring at my silly daily baseball game for 10 minutes trying to remember some backup catcher on the Cubs 50 years ago.

"Creepy Harry, creepy Harry" rhymes with "Creepy Carrie, creepy Carrie."

Love the mound conference analogy. Eventually, the home plate umpire wanders out and breaks it up--who will be the home plate umpire here?

Here, no idea, there are so many things to factor in, and it's right between two bizarre weeks and the RNC. Makes me think of Andy Warhol's reaction to the JFK assassination as described in the PBS documentary: he returns home, sits on a couch, and keeps repeating "What does this mean?

I don't think I've ever heard or seen DNC chair Jaime Harrison till right now (being interviewed on MSNBC). He's a dead ringer for Tony Gwynn six ways to Sunday (especially his voice)...need to see him with a bat in his hand.

Supposedly, Trump's going to talk about how some higher being caused him to turn his head at just the right moment. I'd listen to the wording carefully, he may end up plagiarising Samuel Jackson's speech at the end of Pulp Fiction.

We're still pretty upset about the whole Shohei Ohtani thing up here--you might want to consider it.

One thing made me laugh in yesterday's coverage: besides being furious with Pelosi, Biden is now supposedly convinced that Obama is the "puppet-master" behind all that's going on. I suppose I'm being naive, but Obama never really struck me as very Corleone-ish.

"So hear me when I say: (pause) I know Donald Trump's type" is a great line--reminds me of Naughty by Nature's "Yeah, you know me" except it's "Yeah, I know you."

Yeah, I know him.

irl tee hee

Harris will be the shortest major party nominee since Stephen Douglas, and if she wins, she'll tie James Madison as the shortest president. (All are/were 5'4".) (Hillary is 5'5".)
