thx much for this matt, i'll alert herr joshblog (i don't think he reads dissensus) (josh is my roomate, as it happens)

yes, I love Todd Edwards. I've only heard Full On 2 and the Nervous tracks thing, and about an equal amount of d/l'd stuff, but yes, he's unreal. His vertiginous mesmerizing detail has been well commented on ("ooer microsampling"), but what i love abt him is a) changes keys mid-phrase with a...

haha one demented cowboy to another!

is loving the company of others considered carnal?

yeah but yeah but 1. politeness and conviviality are themselves a disclipline, etiquette, politesse (remember those old manuals, which spoon to use, what to say to ppl you'd rather not? i don't, all of that is long gone, it's too bad i think). very hard to hew to in times of acute...

again i guess i'm already guilty of shorthanding the resistance to "islamists," but i think my point still stands well enuf. so if anyone can point me to some good material on who comprises resistance and why, i'd be grateful.

"AFAIK we still don't know who killed [Hassan], yet several disparate resistance groups have already come out and condemned the murder." i'd very much like to read more of this, can you (or someone) provide links? i'll give western left supporters of "the insurgency" the benefit of the doubt...

it was excised from school curricula under carter.

ilx's ned raggett posted a much more illuminating map here: http://ilx.p3r.net/thread.php?msgid=5213838 which doesn't get around the fact that the south and mountain west are firmly in gop hands, but all of this 'oh the impenetrable violent pigfucking american middle' from europeans is just...

i'd like to hear him talk about these "rare exceptions" then. really this whole site looks like parody (header quote from the matrix, you say?) ...but i've spent the last 10 hours banging on doors and prodding ppl to the polls so i am in no mood.

how quaint. a gliberal response yes, but really this is pretty dummmm

Robert Palmer, maybe? Robert Palmer's _Rock & Roll, and unruly history_ might be what you're looking for. It's not bad really, much better than the bullshit bbc docu series it was meant to accompany.

yes it does look very clintonist. i'm a bit too young (grew up under clinton) to have a v good instinctual reading of this, but former or woulda-been former clinton ppl may be all the democrats have at that level any more. my hope is that the domestic face will be pitched to the left of what...

the only thing that would precipitate armed conflict between (white) americans would be cataclysmic changes in the economy, ie when the bottom finally drops out of energy production. in which case the rest of the world will be up in smoke as well. so kpunks 5 yrs is a little pessimistic (haha...

oliver: http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0728/p01s02-uspo.html http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040917/D855JB1G0.html (forgive me if this is old hat; i didn't do anything more than plug "kerry cabinet speculation" into google, since I'm not in any high-powered dem gossip loops...)

tech central station? oliver that piece is pretty disastrous, at least for its papering over of the wilson ww1 years, which make the patriot act look saturnalian. if bush wins again i think he'll limp his way through one impossible problem after another, all self-created, the largest being the...
