C Hynde is a class act. Pure class.
Even though I liked punk and post-punk in the late 70s, I always had a pronlem with Devo. They're a concept band and the concept requires them to be stiff and mechanical. So there's little sense of rhythm, much less a sinuous groove.
They really should have tried to expand their horizons some, maybe hiring George Clinton as producer, since he'd be sympatico to their sci-fi fantasy while importing some much-needed funk. Instead they seem content to make retreads of Whip It, like the current song.

Jeb Bush News
Gov. Jeb Bush has used his recently revived nonprofit foundation to pay a former campaign finance director and two former campaign aides.
Although Bush has said his Foundation for Florida's Future is not a way of keeping his political machine intact after he leaves office early next year, recent disclosures on the foundation's Web site show that it paid:
Nearly $99,000 to Ann Herberger, Bush's campaign finance director during two campaign and a longtime political fund-raiser for his family.
• Nearly $70,000 to Neil Newhouse of Washington-based GOP Public Opinion Strategies group for polling last October.
• $48,000 for "management services" to a lobbying and public-affairs firm whose staff includes Mandy Clark and Mandy Fletcher. Both worked on Bush's reelection campaign and on his brother's presidential reelection campaign.
• $23,500 for "legal services" from the Washington law and lobbying firm Patton Boggs.
• $20,000 in February to GOP political strategist Adam Goodman's The Victory Group Inc.
The foundation has spent about $320,000 of the $1.9 million it has raised since Bush revived it in the fall, according to its Web site. Those contributions have come from friends, former colleagues and campaign contributors, and even the prime minister of Haiti.

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue
St. Anne's skirts are billowing
But down here in the city of prime nights
The fans of Santa Ana are withering
And you can't deny the living is easy
If you never look behind the scenery
It's Showtime for dry climes
And bedlam is dreaming of rain
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the MURDER wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning

When Malibu fires and radio towers

Story at nine
The whole world is going insane
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the MURDER wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is Burning
A placard reads "the end of days"
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
More a question than a curse
How could hell be any worse
The flames are stunning

So take warning!

Anybody remember the Clash on that old Saturday Night Live knockoff called "Fridays". It was right when London's Calling came out and before Joe Strummer got his teeth fixed. If you watched that shit and had any sensibility, you were done with Kansas, Yes, Boston, ELO, Zeppelin etc etc etc. I mean, it was that simple. Around that time dumbass Dick Clark had Pil(Johnny Rotten's new band) on American Bandstand. All the punks new it was an accident waiting to happen for Dick, so I watched the fucking show for the only time in my life. John stopped lip-syching one verse into Poptones and started shoving the dancers over their little pedestals.

No, but I have been in a theatre watching Evil Dead III, with a head full of four hits of acid, and everyone else in the theatre was a cop.

Yeah, punk went away, that's why the only American rock worth listening to and most of the crap as well is all punk.

I liked Haircut 100 as well, but Heaven 17 really got badly overlooked, a little like early Gang of Four.

And the Buzzcocks. And the Cramps. And Billy Goat.
Youse guys see this (London) Times article about the blogs? Methinks Ms Baxter has gone native in the Beltway:
Democrats turn on blogger with a mighty mouth
Sarah Baxter, Washington
OF all the political bloggers in America, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, creator of the left-wing website the Daily Kos, is perhaps the most powerful. Famous for dishing out criticism, he is now under attack himself, accused of being an election loser who bestows favours on his flatterers.
Like the film-maker Michael Moore, of Fahrenheit 9/11 fame, the prolific and acerbic California blogger thrills his fans but causes moderate Democrats to worry that he could jeopardise the party’s hopes of winning power.
Having said that, I know a lot of songwriters that would give their left little finger to have written "Best Time Of Your Life".

I went to a Van Halen concert and David Roth shook his butt in my face with his open bare pants. I nearly swooned.
Oh ho, I'm missing a punk discussion? I'd say punk definitely brought political and social awareness to a lot of people. Sure, some of the 1980s punk became empty anger music, but the good stuff almost always expressed messages.

The Fall's "Carrybag Man" is a song I used to shut people up in my car long ago. People tend to run on to fill the silence with mindless chatter. "Carrybag Man" by the Fall, "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight" by Bauhaus were two of my favorite songs for causing unease to passengers.

So when you say he's resting on the cross
WHAT SAVIOR RESTS,
WHILE, ON HIS CROSS, WE DIE
In other words, and this usage is legitimate English by the way YOU FUCKING RETARDED NAZI WHO IS STUPID BECAUSE KOS TOLD YOU TO BE STUPID, what savior is off of his cross and resting while we are on his cross instead of him and dying in his place.

You delude yourself in regard to your own intellectual contribution.
I’m not especially interested in the discussions of literary criticism or whatever it was that ultimately precipitated it, but I am very pleased to note that the notorious asshole and pseudonymous coward known to the Eschaton crowd as “Thersites” was recently unmasked at my friend Jeff Goldstein’s place.
Turns out, he’s some sort of writing teacher at a community college up north.
I understand that certain [online personalities] may want to keep their true identities secret —especially when they are foul-mouthed, shit-eating losers like Thersites— but those same people have to realize that exposure is always a possibility.

You little pussy?
But this thing with Thersites? I think it’s magnificent. I relish the thought that he has spent much of the past week worried about the personal and professional repercussions of his insane hatred for people such as Goldstein and myself.
Think I’m being too harsh? Go look up his name and mine at Eschaton. There are literally hundreds of examples of his hateful and cowardly remarks to me there. The guy is a bulging sack of shit —as are his friends who join him in their threats against me and mine.

A final word about Joel V since I'm headed off for bed: he's possibly the only person on this planet who has gotten some 335 people, give or take, to put (canned) soup on their head.
I relish the thought that he has spent much of the past week worried
This, in a nutshell, is the nature of your character. You enjoy other people being in pain.

Of course.

So you won't be enlisting to fight the good fight with Iran then?
Somehow, I knew that already.

True. But I am enjoying his pusillanimous dodging a question that forces him to compare himself with someone he feels he can slander from long distance.
Toby, exactly how many zimas do you have to put away before you start imagining you could ever be brave enough to do what Joe Wilson did in the heart of Saddam's Baghdad?

I doubt Thersites is in much pain, but that's awful sweet of you to stick up for him.
Oops. I posted twice for some reason. Well, the first was in my regular voice and the second was...um...as Spencer Tracy, yeah, that's the ticket.
Maybe I'm missing something -- how someone without my credentials can insult my credentials, and how someone lonely and unloved and bitter can insult the fact that I live happily with my family.
I don't actually get these people. But then, I never wanted them.
Why is someone posting my personal information? Are you trying to expose me to physical harm?

I thought the original trailer was not terribly interesting, but I really enjoyed the emotional focus in the film. I think Singer has joked that he's made the first superhero chick flick.

Well, you can pretend we are, anyway. Go get a dog leash and tie it like it's a noose, and wear it around your neck and playact you're Joe Wilson.
But it's funny to picture him spending hours preparing a text file of inanities to copy and paste in here, so as to maximize the disruption he can cause until his next banning.
That isn't what's happening, SteveNS. That's my secret admirer doing that.

Boy, I'll answer your question when you answer mine. When you referred to Valerie Plame's 'pimp,' were you intending it to mean the man who performed an act of courage you hardly dare act out in your dreams?
I hear Israel has decided to execute all Palestinian children and their mothers just for the heck of it.
Why are all the terrorist states located in the ME any way?
If we have to try these terrorists in American criminal courts, I recommend doing it here in Texas.

He very publicly defied the Iraqi strongman by giving refuge to more than 100 US citizens at the embassy and in the homes of US diplomats - at a time when Saddam Hussein was threatening to execute anyone who harboured foreigners.
He then addressed journalists wearing a hangman's noose instead of a necktie.
He later told the Washington Post newspaper that the message to Saddam Hussein was: "If you want to execute me, I'll bring my own [expletive] rope."
What's to be done now that Hamdan's legal interests are the same as the American Left's?
Can that embarrassment help the American People to decide which party should be trusted with our national security?
In his first visit to Egypt, the US attorney-general has defended the secret transfer of terrorism suspects to countries where they could face torture - a practice the US calls "extraordinary rendition".
But Alberto Gonzales refused to confirm reports that Egypt, with a human rights record the US has criticised, was one of those countries.
"I'm not going to confirm that there have been any [suspects sent to Egypt], and I'm certainly not going to talk about the numbers - it's intelligence activity and we just don't do that," Gonzales told reporters after meeting Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president.

You're unaware of Joe Wilson's actions in Baghdad in 1991? That would be kind of hard to believe, a well-informed man of the world like you.
Say it ain't so. Don't deflate the image of you I've built up in my head so devotedly!
Toby Petzold, why are you "here" on Eschaton?
just curious... you seem to be feeling a lot of angst, or frustration...
Those of you who's done got my essay have to repay me by telling me what you think.

Toby Petzold, what part of your brain lights up like a Christmas tree when your name appears in another's comment?
Toby Petzold, your name has now been mentioned more frequently than any other full name on Eschaton today, how does that make you feel?
That sounds very brave of Wilson. It also shows smarts since Saddam is a great afficianado of the symbolic gesture.
But it looks like Ethan Allen, Jr. slipped his tie and went on to sell a book and collect speakers' fees, anyway.
Oh, well.
I don't like it, blink. Especially when it's accompanied by my home address and phone number.

Millions of people will be forced to pay a 'congestion charge' for sending email under plans being developed by American telephone companies to create a 'two-tier' internet.
In a move which campaigners warn will destroy the openness and equality of the worldwide web, the US telecommunications group AT&T is lobbying politicians to allow the development of 'fast' and 'slow' internet services.

Oh, Saddam loves a symbolic gesture. Surely you remember the story of how, I think it was during the war with Iran, one of his ministers thought it would be a grand symbolic gesture for him to temporarily resign, whether it was to ask for a vote of confidence, I don't remember, but Saddam loved that symbolic gesture. He had the guy immediately arrested, and his body parts were delivered to his family's door the next day or so.
And Saddam adored the sweeping gesture of familial loyalty made by his brother-in-law in returning to Iraq after fleeing. We all remember how that turned out.
Both these things happened well before Joe Wilson took his stand, of course. Took smarts? That's a jolly sporting judgment for you to make, ole chap. So mean of me, really, old pip, when I let myself imagine how you would've acted in the same situation.
'Ambassador Petzold, you think you might wanna change your shorts before you appear before the press? No, really.'

Good. Your behavior here has convinced me that your opinion is worthless at best, therefore I won't involve you in the review of it.
If you manage to grow up a bit and develop some actual critical thinking skills, I will revisit this decision.
Toby Petzold, do you feel like a better person because ror has given you a potential invitation into the discourse?
Toby Petzold, are you revisiting how you might approach your interactions with Eschaton regulars, so you can take advantage of that invitation?
Toby Petzold, are you noticing that ror has treated you with a high degree of civility, and that your more reserved and polite statements have resulted almost immediately in less hostile reactions?
Ror, it's a great article that needed to be written. I won't reveal any more details here, to keep Toby, who be sure to misinterpret it if he bothered to read it, from googling for the paper.
Do you mind if I print this out and hand it to some of the community leaders in this valley? This viewpoint could be of use here.
As noted earlier, if ya read my essay, you have to tell me what ya think! I'm lookin' at you yasmeen! and also you--you know who you are.

Lemme tell ya folks, nothing is worth less than the opinion of a right-wing texan. These are the people that destroyed 200 years of representative govt in 1963, and they have the NERVE to think they can lecture us on what this country stands for.
If they cared about liberty and the freedom of the individual against big govt, do you think they'd want to interfere in the right of a woman to die in dignity? Or support a kleptocracy which is bankrupting this country to the tune of $300 million a day in Iraq? These people are fascists and thieves. And they're no more worth the time of day than any other freedom-hating jackass that thinks they should command the nation's airwaves (Fox, I'm lookin at you).
Toby is a bad smell, like the nazis that walk across the room in Rick's last night (still watching Casablanca). They will be gone very shortly, and I don't think this particular jackass, in 2 or 3 years, will want anyone to know whose side he was purporting to represent.

Got my bulk feed ink system for my inkjet. Instead of 50 bucks cost for 100 to 300 pages, it's more like 50 bucks for 3 to 5 thousand pages printed. The printer still is no faster than before, but for mass printing you can leave it running over night.
Toby Petzold, in your reaction to nsr's comments, are you tempted to address points made in the first two paragraphs while ignoring the third?
Toby Petzold, do you believe it may be possible for you to wake up a different and better person than you have been?
nsr, ...
I've been reading your stuff, and while I agree with a bunch of it, as an ex-Texan who hasn't managed to loose all of that "stuff", I've got two words:
Sam Rayburn.
That was a class act.
Yeah, Mr. Sam. He was indeed.
I usually defer to ronjazz, who has the sharpest razor this side of The Rude One himself.
Toby Petzold, when comments are made about trolls' cheeto-munching and lack of exercise, do you feel ashamed about your body?
or, Toby Petzold, do you take comfort in perceiving a contrast between those ideas and the truth of your appearance?
Never took a dime from any lobbyist, paid for all of his travel out of his own pocket.
Maybe there is a reason he was the longest serving Speaker of the House.
And got a building named after him, back when it meant something.

Right-wing Texan, he said, Barry. Sam not included.
I've got this book about the patriarch of the Hunt clan, I've skimmed it enough to know he fits the definition. Strange man. Strange ultraconservative man. Strange ultraconservative man, whose death was the opening bell for a court fight between three, count 'em, three separate wives, each with several kids. Rightwing hypocrite nutjob hilarity.
On CNN just now there was a stat I ave trouble believing. They said since the US went to (undeclared and illegal) war there have been 18 friendly fire deaths, 10 in Iraq, 7 in Afghanistan.
Given US history (i.e. "Shoot first") and warfare in general, this sounds way low, especially since Pat Tillman, the most famous casualty, is among the 17. And the army covered up his death for as long as possible.
Maybe someone in Congress should take a look into this suspicious stat. Hahaha, I know.
Rightwing hypocrite nutjob hilarity.

Cornering the sugar market was another scam they tried. Got burnt with that.
Draco, I agree with you, I have a hard time beleiving that number.
Are they counting 'fragging' in that friendly fire total? Remember at the very start, the grenade in the tent? I forgot how many were killed/injured in that.
Oh, anon is me, dumb haloscan is stripping my name-box every time, again.

I don't recall, I was just 9 years old and way out in El Paso, which really didn't bear any resemblance to the rest of Texas.
Hannity’s Schiavo nurse may lose her license
Carla-Sauer-Iyer might lose her license as a nurse because she appeared on Hannity & Colmes last year and offered up completely fabricated evidence about Michael Schiavo’s treatment of Terri.

It's fucking rock and roll. If you need more than 3 chords and the pentatonic scale then you're one pretentious mother.
James:
Exactly 12,000 songs have been written using C-Am-F-G as the chord progression. That's 4, if my math is good.
Does that mean they aren't rock'n'roll?
i don't think so!

Yeah, Amato is posting videos again, instead of linking to YouTube!
whew, one hopes them blathering questions will be forgiven in light of the probability that they shamed mr. toby to silence.
For Casablanca fans like me, have you ever read Umberto Eco's essay on the movie? I can't find it online, but it's very funny and insightful.
Among other things, he discusses Victor's incautious behavior "fleeing" the Germans. He walks into the most popular nightclub in Casablanca, a place teeming with Nazis, and he's wearing a white suit with a beautiful woman on his arm.
Not typical fugitive behavior, but Eco insists that the iconic white suit is essential. I was reminded of Brecht's very firm stage direction in Threepenny Opera that the messenger delivering Mack the Knife's pardon must ride in on a white horse.

More than likely Tobes passed out, and with any luck is choking on his own vomit right now.

hey, whatever works. off to bed for me though, enjoy your tobes-free thread.
I do feel rather bad about denying Toby access to my essay... There's always the off chance it could make him a better person...
I got the version of "Casablanca" with Roger Ebert's commentary, and I would take issue with his characterization of Victor as a "stiff".
1) he has a cool noble-sounding theme.
2) anyone who can make Ingrid Bergman's face light up by merely walking to a bandstand has something going for him.
3) he obviously knows that Rick was schtupping his wife... and he's too cool to get upset about it.
Ahem...google...

Lol...don't mean to dis your googling skills, specially when I'm about to go and read the essay you so generously brought up. Thanks, in advance.
A question: What is your favorite palindrome?
Oh, and SteveAudio, I don't have anything to contribute to the discussion of chordage, but this, my recommended personification of chord types:
(major) she loves me!
(minor) she loves me not!
i'll find out on the (7th)!?!?!

Wasn't Palindrome the guy with the "Have Gun, Will Travel" business card?
Oh... Palladin.
Sorry, not meaning to pick up Toby's slack.

Tarzan raised a Desi Arnaz rat.
It makes me think of the cover of Zappa's "Cheap Thrills" album.

True that.
Have you read it? I'd value your opinion.
Tarzan raised a Desi Arnaz rat.
Fancy!
If anyone ever does a Casablanca parody, please include this:
Evil German guy tells Ilsa (actual approx. quote, as he sits with her in the centerpiece cafe scene), 'as you may have come to realize, life in Casablanca can be cheap.'
She sez, 'Oh, I'm aware,' looks off into the distance, holds a coin up, points at him, and a bullet knocks his cap off.
Cartman, stop stealing my bits.
I would be interested in reading it but I don't have email.
A question: What is your favorite palindrome?
Not a true palindrome but interesting in that it's used in a song.
"Son I am able she said, though you scare me, watch, said I, beloved, I said, watch me scare you though, said she, able am I, Son."
fourmorewars--Thanks for finding that Eco essay for me. One thing I like in it is how he recognizes that the film is structurally flawed and often nonsensical, but acknowledges its effect anyway.
He compares his reading to T. S. Eliot's reading of Hamlet, but there's a big difference. Eliot zapped Hamlet as an incoherent mess partially because he wanted a takedown of Shakespeare, the better to establish T. S. Eliot as the foremost poet in English. Sorry sport, it's not happening.
Eco is far more good-humored and appreciative, unconcerned about his rep.
Eco does have a pleasant and engaging style. However, he is still too wed to certain structuralist ideas when it comes to literary interpretation.
Evening, all.
What the hell am I doing up this
late?
Got me....
Palindrome: "Tarzan raised Desi Arnaz' rat." I think they're cheating a bit with the apostrophe
Ah, Tobes is gone. Thanks to whoever ran him off.
Ô¿Ô, I'm sure you know this, but there are a lot of free webmail systems to use. I'll stop nagging you Incog.
Grrr--Someone beat me to Tarzan and Desi and the rat

Someone did a whole thing with that "a man, a plan, a canal- Panama"-- they were throwing in everything except the kitchen sink. And it still worked.
Night folks. This is the coolest all nite coffee shop.
K, Eco is pissing me off, in the second graph:
What then is the fascination of Casablanca? (oh, well, that's from the first p.)
The question is a legitimate one, for aesthetically speaking (or by any strict critical standards) Casablanca is a very mediocre film. It is a comic strip, a hotch-potch, low on psychological credibility, and with little continuity in its dramatic effects. And we know the reason for this: The film was made up as the shooting went along, and it was not until the last moment that the director and script writer knew whether Ilse would leave with Victor or with Rick.
First off, dummy, what's the fascinaish? (how does one spell that?)
The fascinaish is kinda due to the circumstantery of the thing, maybe? A Hollywood production, however hokey, that centers on an ambivalent protagonist of the world's great drama...set in, um, lemme see, I think it's very early December '41?
And man, you're quick to emphasize the ever-shifting screenplay, without mentioning the very relevant skills of the writers who were used to resolving plot dilemmas in the time it takes to down a cuppajava. I'm sure I got that from reading someone else's take on the movie, that it's a fortuitous intersection of the development under terrific studio day-to-day pressure of deft writerly improvisation, with a film whose themes couldn't be richer, in the realtime circumstances, etc.
I don't recall, I was just 9 years old
Damn, we're the same age. Go figure.
Tobes was here tonight?
What time?

steve simels--scroll up a few hundred and you'll find a wealth of music video links. My favorite was the Leftfield song--I stated that John Lydon seems to have taken voice or at least vibrato lessons. Now he needs some dance lessons.
I also liked the catchy upbeat pop of the New Pornographers. But they seem misnamed, unless you count braless women in tasteful dresses gogo dancing as porn

Cool, I will.
BTW -- my dear friend Laura the rocknroll tour
coordinator was showing me her new iPod
tonight and she played me a killer song
I had never heard -- from 1980 (on Stiff Records)
Dirty Looks' "Let Go."
All but perfect New Wave single, with
quotes from the Ramones, the Reflections
"Romeo and Juliet" and Springsteen's
"Rosalita."
One of those records I can't believe
I missed....
Oh, thanks but I know, Steve, you can see me using it properly earlier on the thread. But somehow I'm thinking you can't turn them on/off twice in one comment, or something. Which I did, because I interjected myself (the first parenthetical remark) in the middle of his writing.

It was the best of times, it was the werst of times...
He came close to a complete meltdown or maybe he did, it depends on where one draws the line on meltdowns.

fourmorewars--You're likely aware that Casablanca is one of the few Hollywood films ever shot in sequence. The Epstein bothers were making up the movie as it was filmed. Bogart and Bergman had some good laughs at the dialogue, fearful of a total bomb.
I believe there were only two inserts filmed out of sequence, one being Bogart nodding at the band, giving them permission to play La Marseillaise. Bogart had no idea why he was being asked to nod on an otherwise empty soundstage.
