I also think there are major problems when the porn in question, while potentially (and that's a big, I would say, unprovable potentially) decreasing instances of rape, also serves to normalize it in the constraints of sexual interaction. I've never seen such a great contrast as when I received...

Fantastically good. I love Sacco's work.

Just finished this a few weeks ago. Truly truly excellent.

...and what would the "Midnight Marauders" of Opera be?

Thanks Rambler / Hamarplazt! I don't have much time to dig around on the internet these days for info so the suggestions are very helpful...think I'll take a trip down to the store this week-end. Just one question, for "Bluebeard's Castle" I can find listings for three versions currently...

Hello Dad, I'm In Jail >>>>>>>>>> North American Scum

Great news, but absolutely insane nonetheless. What a truly bizarre situation.

Actually, this rolling thread could be amazing. I just picked up a copy of Janacek's "From The House Of The Dead" and was absolutely blown away. Is there anything unconventional and similar to this that I should be looking into? I remember reading about Operatic adaptations of "The Devils Of...

I don't really know what to say about this:

Three pages in and nobody's even mentioned the hugely questionable politics inherent in the very first post? Well, with a hearty shudder I wish you all the best in your little tete a tete.

While I obviously don't know the exact details of the case, this note from somebody who was looking to get him a pro bono lawyer makes the statement above seem slightly murkier: I called the Orange County Sheriff and they said the bail has been posted. I asked why he was arrested...they said...

The use of the Neu! in Master of the Flying Guillotine is truly masterful. "I will kill every one armed man!" Some other good 'uns: Come Drink With Me Boxer's Omen (less kung fu, more boxing, but INSANE) Water Margin Dragon Inn Master Killer Drunken Master (original) Second Five Deadly...

Completely off topic, but after quickly perusing Woebot's user feedback, could I humbly request more information on the recording of "vomiting Persian sailors" that apparently traded hands at some point? Danke!

I believe that Batman will be fighting Bin Laden on the streets of New York. If I remember the associated Miller quote properly, it was something along the lines of "Why fight comic super villains when real ones exist right now?" I generally try to ignore artists' political affiliations when...

Elton John? Don't have any time for what he's doing now, but "Tumbleweed Connection" is a stone cold classic that still gets play around these parts. 'Ballad of a Well-Known Gun'? 'Burn Down The Mission'? So very good. I also love Sean Paul, so take that as you will.

Really enjoyed the new album, a great pleasure to find her gorgeous voice has aged well. Our daughter falls asleep on a nightly basis to "Just Another Diamond Day". If you ever want to get a worked-up toddler to sleep, that's the medicine right there.

Judas Priest recorded a 15 minute song about the Loch Ness monster on their last disc called, appropriately enough "Loch Ness". The song itself isn't too spectacular, but dig the first three verses/Chorus: Grey mist drifts upon the water The mirrored surface moves Awakened of this presence...

In the "Ebola Syndrome"'s defense (not that it really deserves any) the sequence where Anthony Wong just runs down the street spitting at people and yelling "Ebola! Now we die together!" achieves a kind of grand guignol glory. I found "Ebola..." less objectionable than the other Wong-starrer...

Wow, this thread brings back memories. For a 13 year old boy from the Canadian prairies, there were no better gateway drugs than Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. The one thing I loved about both MM and NIN were that they both upped the influences like crazy in every interview I ever read...

Well, as his entire public face is a blatantly constructed persona, it doesn't seem to matter much one way or another. His entire career IS based on concealment and pretending to be someone else but it's always done with a wink.
