Now wait a cotton-pickin' minute here: "the *other* Meat Loaf voter"? I voted for it too, so that makes three of us, which didn't get tabulated. Does it mean that Meat's going to rise in the rankings? I love a controversy. Vote recount!

Yeah, this is the kind of thing I really like about the download phenomenon--I've never really felt the "romance" of tracking down overpriced import items. Of course, one of the downsides of the download phenomenon is the potential for me and my friends to lose our jobs...bleagh! > So if anybody can vouch for Clipse and/or The Knife, let me >know. I don't know what the level of tolerance for hip hop is on this list, and I think it has to be pretty high for Clipse. It's a lot of game-spitting type stuff, but wildly creative and emotionally resonant at the same time. It's definitely gangster stuff, though--drugs and guns and all that. I think it's great, but for some reason 2006 was the year that I started liking new hip hop again.

What's interesting is the cognitive dissonance this pairing (Buzzcocks, AARP) produces...even though, in fact, Peter Shelley is old enough to join AARP (as are many of the original punk rockers and their fans - or nearly so: 50 is, I think, the cutoff). And that's because we for some reason assume "old" people must listen to Lawrence Welk or something...even though the people fucking in the mud at Woodstock would be, if they were 25 then, 63 now. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2007 14:21:34 -0500 From: "Stewart Mason" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] It's happened again - ----- Original Message ----- From: "2fs" > What's interesting is the cognitive dissonance this pairing > (Buzzcocks, > AARP) produces...even though, in fact, Peter Shelley is old enough > to join > AARP (as are many of the original punk rockers and their fans - or > nearly > so: 50 is, I think, the cutoff).

There's a comedian named Nick Swardson who does a very funny bit about how someday gangsta rap is going to be old people music in the same way that big band is now.

Two visits ago at the barber shop I noticed a magazine with Paul McCartney on the cover, and so I picked it up, and I think it was their magazine. It read "We Still Need Him," or something like that. It was odd. One of those reality moments, as the barber buzz cuts more and more of my graying hair and beard.. I've joked in the past that in another twenty years, singers in Vegas will do loungy renditions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," though I've heard Richard Cheese has already done it. - --Mark, getting called "sir" A LOT lately "Listening to Of Montreal is like putting a gun to each of my ears."
