that is so funny, because to me that means you have never been to a gay club. i know you said otherwise it's just cognitive dissonance. but on the larger issue, I agree that it really is true that electronic dance music has never caught on as widely in the USA as it did here, and so I don't...

I have totally the opposite expectation. Both here in SF and when I was in Boston there were large numbers of gay clubs that were full of horrible music and boring people. Cool gay clubs may be cooler than anything, but mostly it's Hi-NRG house pop. bleh.

I'm talking about knives pulled in the classroom. kids attacking teachers (kids who may be bigger than the teachers) physically. Kids tripping out of their minds in the classroom. don't mean to be over-dramatic. Lots of times this doesn't happen. I actually think the other side of it is what I...

I have heard some bad things about TFA. OF course teaching is great (I think), and many parts of the city are suffering from a lack of teachers. But TFA sends fairly inexperienced people into some truly rough situations. These are sometimes the absolutely worst-off schools & students who really...

yeah the problem is the kids who don't get it are usually utterly baffled, and then turn off or think that they are hopeless and quit trying. Not all at once, but surprisingly fast. I think I'm a reverse elitist, I figure the quick ones will do okay without me.. while if the weak ones drop out...

you brits call them "record centres" or even better "record middles"? that's so cute!

I'm feeling really hamstrung by being a teaching assistant. I'm a good explainer, but I can't really organize the section the way I would like because in the end they have to cover (and be tested on) the material the professor gives, on his schedule. He's great, but he covers so much (US...

"Dem nuh like me" - Ghislain Poirier feat. Mr. Lee G.

I love film noir! I also love "Night of the Hunter" and think everyone should see it, but I don't think it's noir at all. I know it's listed that way in wikipedia, and surely it is dark. But thematically, it's almost anti-noir - mystical, religious, dreamy, rural, starring children... Mitchum...

and "junglist pon chalice in buckingham palace" - Hackney Hardcore

Aw, was gonna post that! Wicked tune! also, still not sure what the 'nuum' is, but what about "African Headcharge in the Hackney Empire" by Lee Perry? And... what about.... "Bad boys inna London, Rude Boys, inna Kingston" ?

Seeing them in London was a transcendent experience. actually, much better than this video. I used to mix this song with jungle when I dj'ed back then <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=""...

In the rush of words vein... after hundreds of pages of whimsical dithering about the last 5 pages of the book spin into a complete tornado of action, ending with: But as the last whelmings intermixingly poured themselves over the sunken head of the Indian at the mainmast, leaving a few inches...

yeah isn't it? I think it's hilarious. If you get into that you might like _Envy_ by Yuri Olesha, as well.. it's a novella that is similar in tone. Also kind of hilarious. I wish I could remember the russian sci-fi short story that sort of recreates that reclusive bitterness so well. It's...

I am a sick man, I am an angry man, I am an unnattractive man. I think there's something wrong with my liver.

that's not all that djing is, in my experience. Djing is about connecting with an audience in a live performance, using recorded music as the medium. I don't know how you measure it, but it isn't necessarily easy, unpracticed, or shallow to mash up the dancefloor. yes, but without selectors...

I'm late and will not be getting into the fasting or not debate but I would add that putting some cayenne pepper in with the honey-lemon-ginger is brilliant, clears out my sinuses etc. Cayenne and ginger both increase blood circulation which helps you clean out your system. The hot+sweet...

All my costumes have been rather predictable -(I'm associating this with the US Halloween costume party) I went as an RIAA Agent one year in a black suit and shades and slicked back hair with big dollar signs on my pockets and on my sunglass lenses and ran around writing "tickets" for...

Or This?????

you have done something brave and smart by reaching out to people. Cheers to you for that. I also agree you should check back with your doctor because much of this could be a side-effect of medication. Even if it's not, though, no doctor (or the rest of us) would say you deserve to feel like...
