    The World of Blogs

    as someone who works in advertising for some years, and has worked with print publications and newspapers specifically on and off, i will say that the free web content at the papers' homepages has had some impact on the circulation/readership most newspapers (and i am admittedly only speaking...

    Metal Machine Music

    is this not what art is anyway? whether music, writing, visual, etc. the art that truly moves a person, no matter the genre, isn't it the artist's alterego/fictional construct/perspective intersecting with reality/social issues/society/the current world dynamic (whether that "world" is a city...

    Suggest a Book for the dissensus book club!

    'Haunted' never goes much further, imo. heavily infused with shock value reminiscent of the gore-fest horror genres of recent years. backstory of one character (you'll know when you get there) has been said to have made people pass out during readings that Palahnuik has given when on book tours...

    Music that is psychedelic

    yes. well i know there has been research/speculation on certain immunizations being a possible cause. but yes, toxins. i misunderstood what was said. my son is on the spectrum to a lesser degree, it sounds, than your cousin. one doctor said it was closer to pdd (pervasive development...

    kids

    i have 3. varying ages. and they are weirdly self-sufficient in many ways, and yet full of needs, as well. i won't make an arguement here that is "stereotypical" to parents about how life-changing it is, or how it grounded me, or how i never wanted them until i had them. though i will say that...

    "Hello Obama, goodbye meaningful music"

    everytime i read (maaaaan) above i hear "the Dude's" voice in my head ("this aggression will not stand, man"), blended with some Guthrie-esque protest singer. but yes. throw curves, change the expectation, EXPRESS. but it doesn't have to be an us-against-them. we don't need one big bad to...

    "Hello Obama, goodbye meaningful music"

    or needs some E. ;) experimental sounds and form, bending genres, or freak outs (as you mention) are a protest in themselves, are they not? at least in protest of expectation, style, the mundane.
