stop trying to make "fetch" happen

I guess transgression isn't the point - it's designed as meat-and-drink TV fare but with a female twist - and that's fair, because not enough meat-and-drink TV has been female in perspective - and the fact that popular meat-and-drink TV is female-written is in itself a minor transgression of sorts - but it's a transgression within a carefully-controlled cultural paradigm (popular TV) whose grasp of ambiguity usually extends about as far as a way-overplayed cops-against-drug-dealers narrative and doesn't take into account the multiplicity and unpredictability of the world it seeks to reduce.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that Lena Dunham could drop so many bombs right now from her elevated position, but she's still making a formulaic TV show. The episode I saw most recently? Peeing in public is embarrassing (sheesh)! Vagrant British dad is an arty flake (ooh)! Hippies with dead rabbits and their silly bumpkin ways (eww)! Slow virgin kid is bad at sex and mega-awkward (awkward)! I mean come ooooonnnnnnn, show me the fucking cosmos

I have made things happen like "peep" and "bip-bip" and a slew of other things now a lot of people around me use. I love making words happen; it is best.

Someone ought have told chevy chase to stop trying make fletch happen

better said of Kevin Smith, for years and years he kept threatening to do a Fletch remake

he was going to do a different book iirc

Okay, so Bobby Valentino's "Rearview Ridin" is restoring my faith in pixeldust - painfully slow kicks and swirly fizzy keyboards, and Bobby in his most overwrought pose.

For a long time I've assumed it was "I feel like an out worked boxer on the very first round" but I had this mental CLICK last week and now I hear it is "I fell like an out worked boxer on the very first round."

I didn't find "Falsetto" obnoxious really, but (especially post-"Bed") in isolation it seemed like the schtickiness of his schtick was this perhaps ignominious distillation of all voluptuous sex-obssessed mid-noughties synthy slow jams, R Kelly X pixeldust with nowhere to go.

And then of course the album presents this as like a corner that you have to turn around to make it to the unexpected territory of "Nikki", "Luv Songs" et. al. Like he's orbiting the earth twice so that he can use that force of gravity to shoot off into space. In the context of the album "Falsetto" works really well, it's like the exhausted gooey centre of the "Fast Car" --> "Nikki" --> "She Needs My Love" journey.

"hmm comparing 'your love' to 'last day' is sort of bewildering me though! do you just mean the way it engages pixelcloudz warpdrive in the chorus"

Pretty much just this - perhaps just because the trick isn't as common as I would expect (even pixeldust and it's descendants mostly arrive already in warpdrive e.g. "Forever"). And yeah, no end of the world finality thing going on (it still obsesses me that Teedra has written two songs on this topic).

"the weird thing is i'd been playing imaginary video director in my head with it all this week, and plumped for a sorta mishmash of silent running and like lloyd-as-ripley waking up from hypersleep stasis in aliens and finding everything gone, all humanity and (obv) the loverrrr he'd been waiting for etc etc you know how i roll and so on"

Wow this has made me fall in love with it again.

"incidentally (hah) do you like the song? i dont even know personally, things always be easier to love than like."

This is me all the time.

I need to find a higher quality version of "High Price" though, at the moment (on 96k radio rip) I can only observe it's characteristics rather than properly engage with them.
