No, there is no dread. She will not only concede but she will also ENDORSE him. The question will be how convincing her endorsement is. But if she were to appear hesitant or unsupportive, she'd be dead meat politically, no democrat would forgive her, she would kiss future presidential hopes...

What will be very interesting to watch as the weeks unfold and the pollsters and analysts start producing their dumbed-down statistics, is to what degree there is a ceiling, or floor, or whatever, of white voters who will simply not vote for Obama b/c he is biracial. I personally cannot wait to...

Maybe look into the facts before posting? The margin was 3 million votes, but that's not particularly insightful, since the election came down to Florida and Ohio. At midnight of election night I still believed that Kerry would take Ohio (20 electoral votes) and thereby win the election. The...

Hard to say. It actually doesn't feel that way right now, for a couple of reasons: (1) right-wing nutcases, just like everyone else in the country, are reminded on a daily basis just how badly the Bush administration has failed: gas prices twice what folks are used to, and food prices through...

As if "all the women out there" were robots who preferred Hillary simply because she's a woman? Come on. The electorate - and "women" voters - are more complicated than that. I hear what you are saying, polystyle, but I can tell you that I know many people who are sick to death of the media...

I can't seem to find it, it's been a year since I read it, perhaps it got linked from another forum I was reading...was more on the harsh noise/industrial side, didn't seem to be very active, I'd recognize the address if I were able to turn it up, it was sort of dark green and brown, or black...

Opinions will vary on which record is their best (as if 'best' make any sense to begin with, i couldn't care less about such an arbitrary denomination) (and thank goodness opinions vary, how boring it would be otherwise), but I can tell you that having watched up close SY perform Daydream Nation...

totally inaccurate to say that sonic youth never had a record panned, New York Ghosts & Flowers was and remains almost universally disdained ( i quite like it actually, it's their new york school record, o'hara etc , tho who could expect an indie rock critic to know fuckall about the history of...

Haha yeah, sure, but you don't find many doing it, now do you? The question still stands: any good French or German discussion forums for music? I've read a few German dnb and noise sites over the years, but have never found anything as general as dissensus in either french or german ...

Congratulations to Senator Obama! For the first time in a very long time it feels as if something historic has happened ... as american politics go, this is borderline miraculous ... and damn if it doesn't feel oh-so-fine to watch him give that victory speech ...

lol @ pfork, fair enough :D alan licht writing in a wire mag end of year thing is about the only time i recall seeing o'malley criticized

There are definitely plenty of bands more annoying than the pavement of slanted and enchanted, surely , ? tbh i don't see how pavement can be considered a sacred cow (maybe the inverse lol), since they are almost universally held responsible for an entire generation of miserable white boy...

A very informative post by Plasticman on the early period of ukg/grime (circa 1999 and beyond) from the early days of Dissensus is here, hope it helps: http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?p=9327#post9327

Are you referring to the dustup where the white house publicly complained about keith olbermann and msnbc being pro-obama and anti-bush? What a truly hysterical and pathetic act of desperation on the part of the white house to complain about precisely the kind of media from which they have...

No one said "you can't use X word," or that some words are inherently, by virtue of their assemblage of syllables, objectionable (I mean!), they simply said, if you use certain words, you may be reinforcing certain structures in society that are unequal or objectionable. Jonesy did not say...

No he's not. Not even close. :D Let's take a look: Contra IdleRich 'unclean' is hardly the sole or even primary purpose for referring to genitalia in insults... there are many motivations and reasons, this has been studied rather extensively .... First of all, if people wanted uncleanliness...

I agree with this completely and co-sign with Ripley's comments as well. Forum posts are often ambiguous and can be given a generous, benefit-of-the-doubt type of interpretation, and often that's preferable for maintaining a sense of community . . . however, the other side of the coin is the...

okay i'm just getting back to this thread now and i've read it closely (i think) and taken the comments to heart, have thought about what's been said and my own words and i'll try to address a few general points without getting going through individual comments i'm not trying to be a...

ahhh yes, the obligatory condescending response

I completey agree with you and am not afraid to admit it (and yes I do realize that bashing Wire magazine on music forums is a perennial commonplace, i just don't take that view)
