Hmmm.... Well, among my people, "dibs" (always plural) are a claim to something. Saying you have dibs on something means that you are announcing a claim to it in a situation where that something will go to whoever claims it first; or announcing your ownership of a piece of property, e.g. the last doughnut in the staff lounge, when others might mistakenly think it is up for grabs. This doesn't seem to apply directly to Stateline Sam's case. However, maybe the usual meaning is being broadened here to include his girlfriend's calling dibs on him as her lover? Or, perhaps more likely, it could mean that his girlfriend paid for the trip. Yourdictionary.com lists "money, especially in small amounts" as an alternative meaning. However, I don't remember hearing that usage before, and I grew up in New Jersey. It might also be short for "dibbler," which is a small plastic tool shaped like a fat pencil, used for making holes in the soil when planting seeds. And there's a character named Dib in the animated show Invader Zim. But I doubt Smith had either of those in mind. - --Chris (who is perhaps less helpful than usual today) ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 09:54:50 -0800 From: Spotted Eagle Ray Subject: Re: hey, knowledgeable people On 2/16/06, 2fs wrote: > > > > Okay, so here I am as supplicant to your knowledge of music once > > again--are there any good academic sources out there for a student > > who > > wants to work on underground music Social behavior and > > influences-- > > genres including: > > Metal, metal core, hard core, punk, ska, psychobilly? Plenty of stuff on more historical (i.e. "good" or "old") punk & hardcore, but in terms of what a modern-day 16-year-old immersed in those scenes might up to, dunno. You can always post to the musicians section of your local craigslist, which seems to be how people in these subcultures hook up. (If it is the formative years of these scenes, you probably know a lot of the good books and films.) I don't really understand the term "metal core", I must admit. I run into people who have friends who are really into psychobilly, and I do indeed wonder how that can be. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 16:17:58 -0800 From: "randalljr" Subject: Re: Random grumble From: "Tom Clark" > Well, there's no debate over the fact that the Johnson girls of the US > Women's Curling team are pretty damn cute. > http://www.usolympicteam.com/31300.htm AND they're from Bemidji, MN, a mere 30 miles from my home Rez.

Psychobilly? That's a new one. I wonder if it will be any bigger than the cowpunk of the early-mid 80's? Rank and File was okay in it's day. I got their first two releases on vinyl and also the Rhino Handmade cd edition. I can't name another cowpunk band besides them though. True West was lumped in with the PU groups, but I guess they could be considered cowpunk. Michael B.

It seems to be one of those self-ghetto-izing things where you know the band that is generally cited as an example (in this case The Rev. Horton Heat) and at the same time you know that anyone who's really into it would scoff if you said to them "Isn't that like the Rev. Horton Heat?" because the genre runs so much deeper to those on the "inside". So you just steer clear, having heard Chuck Berry, The Cramps and X before. I think a lot of the bands are on that Rob Zombie label. Basically it seems (to me) a little too kitschy (lots of monster-movie and cheesecake imagery) to take seriously, but a lot of folks seem to. - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:13:02 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: hey, knowledgeable people On 2/16/06, Bachman, Michael wrote: > Rex: > >I run into people who have friends who are really into psychobilly, and I do > >indeed wonder how that can be. > > Psychobilly? That's a new one. The only band that leaps to mind is, of course, Eugene Chadbourne's Shockabilly. You know, there are people who think music criticism is a low activity, performed entirely by people who can't make actual music. I don't think that's true...but surely, doing that is a lot better than coining names for microgenres... - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #39 *******************************
