rock = real people playing traditional instruments (guitar, bass, drums, maybe keyboards) -- but not necessarily exclusively, i.e., synthesizer or computer-generated effects are okay -- and in a way that is not especially funky or country-twangy

i am pretty tepid on most new american bands that i come across. have never really properly investigated the avant-folk or noise bands. there do seem to be a lot of good artsy bands coming out of texas for some reason . . . . but so much of this stuff comes out on cd only, that i never buy it...

something that i have gotten wind of around here is that brits perceive american rock as superior to uk rock. evidently, american bands have better drummers, and they rock more intensely. or at least, this is my understanding of how the story goes. HOWEVER, i have always in the main preferred...

i am not a good enough dj to play clubs (mixing?!?!???). however, i do often dj at restaurants, usually starting around 9 pm, with diners still dining as late as 1:30 (to be replaced by drinkers until 4). and i play whatever i damn well please, though i usually keep things on an atmospheric...

very well said -- and i agree completely

hey dissensus people -- i think some of you might find it worthwhile to visit nublu on SUNDAY nights. i just happen to be the early dj (9:30 to 12 slot), but that is neither here nor there, as i don't mix or anything, and i've been resorting to a lot of post-punk-ish music (i call it...

kid batchelor esp. this

this is patently false i don't know where you get your figures -- i mean, seriously!!! these numbers are so far off the mark as to make me question your veracity/sanity -- but i will respond later this evening also, i am not advocating total autarky -- obviously usa would need to import oil...

and from today's ny times = worries that the good times were just a mirage fuck stimulus packages -- please obama don't turn me off with cheap pandering talk! -- i want a presidential candidate who promises hard times for the next 4 years what this country needs is a good old-fashioned deep...

vimothy -- i still intend to respond to your remarks upthread -- though i will say now that income mobility and income equality/disparity are entirely different measures -- so let's not go that route, i.e., the last page or so of this thread . . . . in the meantime, some articles from ny times...

it's the mission impossible theme!!!

yeah, bustarhymes and 50 cent i could see -- but mary j blige!?!?!?!
