Or too much of the wrong kind of attention (from Daddy, anyway).

"Incapacity of the masses." What a tool for all exploiters and dominators,
past, present, and future, and especially for the modern aspiring
enslavers, whatever their insignia--Nazism, Bolshevism, Fascism, or
Communism. "Incapacity of the masses." This is a point on which the
reactionaries of all colors are in perfect agreement with the "communists."
And this agreement is exceedingly significant.

Subject: [loud-fans] Scott on Delta Air Lines!
I'll start with my usual mea culpa that I'm hopelessly behind on my digest
reading and this could easily have been covered already.
I was flying on Delta last week and had a near out-of-body experience when I
learned that LF's "Motion of Ariel" is currently featured on their in-flight
audio. There's an entire channel dedicated to "ultracool underground pop"
(their term- actualy it shares a slot with some other niche interest) whose
playlist is printed in the in-flight mag and reads like a Loud Fan's wet
dream. I cut out the list (and of course proceeded to lose it), but I recall
it being very Merge Records-heavy. Superchunck's "1000 Lbs." was on there
(Mac & Co. got the photo opp w/the playlist, too), as was The Sea & Cake and
Annie Hayden.
Anyone else seen this?

Subject: [loud-fans] Tattoo who / REM
It may be worth noting that 'tat' in UK slang translates as 'crap', so
make of that what you will.
Personally, I'm not averse to tattoos per se, but one thing that does
bug me a little about them is the way in which they can change
according to fluctuations in weight / muscle tone etc. My brother
has a tattoo of the rockabilly guitar player Ersel Hickey on his right
arm. Of course, everybody who sees the tattoo thinks it's a picture
of Elvis, but as my bro's physique has changed a bit over the past
few years the image has morphed from young-&-slim-Elvis to old-&-
fat-Elvis to a current stickman-Elvis. My brother's looking better
than he's ever done, but the tattoo looks positively *ill*. (There's a
Dorian Gray kinda metaphor struggling to get out here, I'm sure.)
The Peter Buck thing has confused me immensely: apart from the
fact that it seems very out of character, I don't quite understand
why he would wait until he no longer looked like a rock star before
he started to behave like one. Possibly related question - does
anybody else out there get the impression that GBV's current
fanbase includes an amazingly large number of disillusioned former
REM fans?
peace & love

Oh, I think I remember that. What struck me as odd about the
alleged air-rage incident is that if I'd ever thought about it I'd have
supposed that Buck would be a dopey, smiley kind of drunk, not
an obnoxious or rowdy one. (Myself, I fit the Disney dwarf profile of
inebriation: I go from bashful to happy to dopey to sleepy, whereas
under previous... uhh... influences, I was known to get grumpy and
sneezy...)

I dunno - it doesn't surprise me that Buck could harbor some irascibility.
I mean, everybody says R.E.M. are nice guys and all - but to my ears
there's an edge there, too. But I don't think, really, this was "acting
like a rock star" - I think it was a guy who had too much to drink getting
frustrated and then behaving like a boor. Could happen to nearly anyone...

Yet another quasi-moralistic rambling from me...I caught this at a friend's
(he ate it up) and it made me squirm for an hour. The beginning where the
lady pedestrian got hit (and miraculously survived) made me gasp so hard...I
was so shocked by it. Same thing with that new Matt Dillon movie trailer
where the guy gets squashed by the dumpster, and you can see his right leg
break sideways for a split second. Thank God that's not real. It's
cartoonishly funny, but it looks SO lifelike. Seeing that car show, and all
these programs like "Survivor" makes me think of the ancient Roman Coliseum
games...are we devolving (sorry Devo) into the Romans? They were into this
sort of entertainment just before their empire crumbled.

EEEWWW!! Well said. Just reading the last line makes me feel "ookey."
There are some things you just don't do, and that is one of them. I'd like
to think I'm a pretty forgiving guy, but I'd have a very hard time forgiving
molestation and/or rape. I squirm at people getting hit by cars on TV, but I
wouldn't flinch in the least seeing an SOB get castrated for molesting a
child, especially their own, or for raping someone. I just don't buy people
who say that they didn't know it was wrong, or that they were drunk or
whatever. WAAAAH!!! They ***k up these kids for life doing these selfish
acts. I had an SOB for a father (more like a sperm provider) and this issue
hits home for me. Im not insinuating the man did anything this horrible to
me (and I'll spare the usual excessive detail of my personal life here), but
over the years, I've found one thing in common with most of my friends, who
generally are as mental as I am, and that's they had ****ed up parents,
usually fathers, who did unspeakable things to them. My best friend growing
up was punished as a teenager by her father taking all her furniture and
belongings out of her room, ripping down and destroying all her posters,
taking her records, everything...giving her a cot to sleep on, and removing
her bedroom door. This went on for a month. It was for missing curfew.
