I think it's a precarious situtaion. A lot of his GOP support is of the reluctant 'tow the party line' variety (unlike, say Obama, whose fans seem determined to make this election the second coming of Beatlemania). So, on the one hand, he'd be wise to choose someone who represents a more traditionally conservative ideology. Huckabee or Romney would be the obvious (ie WRONG) choices in this regard.

However, he stands to lose the moderates and independents he's been courting since day one if he brings in some hardliner. I think he's acutrely aware of all this.

If he wants my vote he'll have to choose smart, sexy libertarian Sarah Palin.

They are a mixed bag live. Opening for Sonic Youth recently and for Bobby Conn last year (?) they were great, powerful noisy stuff. The two other times I saw them they seemed a little directionless and were boring. And besides, the one time they had to play after the Animal Collective at a gallery in Detroit and they couldn't come anywhere near the genius of those guys that night. Seen them in various solo set-ups and it was mixed as well.

It's one of my favourite albums of the year, and I think Make You Feel That Way is an extraordinarily beautiful track. And fuck trying to guess what will stand the test of time, I just like it because it sounds good to me now, and I don't think I can guess what will last anyway. Remember John Peel telling Tony Blackburn in the late '60s that Peel's favourites like Iron Butterfly and It's A Beautiful Day would be universally revered in the future while Blackburn's favourites like Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson would be contemptuously forgotten.

And fuck all this macho nonsense about not wanting to admit to liking it because it isn't all hard and aggressive. I like much softer stuff than this! And Nabisco is OTM (thanks to Graham's 'while you were writing...' feature).

All other donut shops are toast once Tim Horton's creeps in. They're on every corner here - WORSE THAN STARBUCKS - sometimes they put one on both sides of the street so that you don't have to go to the 'trouble' of turning across the traffic.
About that fast food smell - McDonald's is the worst for that. It's the beef flavouring that they put into the oil (to make the taste consistent with when the fries were done in beef tallow) - blearghhh. During my fast food tour of duty I was a cook for Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips. Now the smell of fried fish is *so* lovely let me tell you...

Subway's veggie and cheese subs rock - especially now that they've added all those fancy ass new breads. Dairy Queen, ironically, makes the best cheeseburgers. A&W is a close second. Harvey's Hamburgers aren't - but hey, if you like soy. Licks is good but weird and expensive.

I also like that Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich. Speaking of spicy chicken - has anyone else ever had a Nando's chicken sandwich? Oh so yummy! Unfortunately, all known outlets here appear to have closed.

Actually quantizing something happens whenever a signal goes from analog to d - to digitize it means you have to turn it into a number, or a quantity, thus the term.

Cher's voice was recorded and then adjusted with tuning plugins for Pro Tools - Autotune, which you can hear on a ton of studio records nowadays (Linkin Park anyone?) forces notes to adhere to a pitch-perfect steady tone, which kind of makes a voice sound vocoderish, and other plugins which allow for pitch to be transposed an octave or two without losing too much of its timbre.

Matt Maxwell is right about the method except I'm not so sure about the 'on-the-fly' part.

I hate Pro Tools plugins.

Also, the bottle opener key chain that came with the box-set has proven incredibly useful over the years.

I didn't like the hype around the Strokes for a couple of months and I let that colour my perception of the band. I was wrong - started liking them a bit after "Hard To Explain" came out, bought the album rather nervously and immediately enjoyed it. I'm sorry to break up the ILM consensus, not that there was one.

The reason FT's talking about them now is that all the hype and anti- hype about the Strokes was saying basically the same things and that wasn't what I was hearing on the record, so I thought I might as well write about that.

I'm always glad to see the return of Nick's "internet hardman" persona, too.

OTM. I listened without prejudice and I came away praying for the day when Basement Jaxx are producing popular teen idols and Richard X's girl group are up and running to happen really bloody soon.

Indeed, the main problem for me here is confusing lighthearted with lightweight. The airy way the song carries itself around screams of desperate grabs at SAW-type instant memorableness and the groove is...ordinary. You could tell me Hilary Duff sang this, or maybe her sister, for her latest movie, and I'd probably believe you for a sec - and no, that's not a compliment. 5/10

God, I hate to use that word (Urban) I'm just trying to explain how it struck me as not so much a UK equivalent of MTV Base, and more just playing things (obviously wide of the indie/rock/pop radar) that were unlikely to trouble the charts just yet, but were still becoming popular.

Al Qaeda's USAMA/ Osama BIN LADEN

The growing intelligence of the evidence of Al Qaeda's Osama bin Laden's terrorism network

Yet more evidence this was reported yesterday ! September 9, 2001 - On Videotape, Bin Laden Charts a Violent Future

He tells followers that there is nothing to fear from the United States and that their Islamic faith — and their willingness to die — is enough to neutralize America's military might.

Much of the tape focuses on the current upheaval in Israel and the Palestinian territories. What is not clear, say intelligence experts, is whether Mr. bin Laden plans to mount direct attacks on Israeli targets, or whether he is firing followers' passions for attacks elsewhere. "Our brothers in Palestine are waiting for you anxiously, and expect you to strike at America and Israel," Mr. bin Laden says. "God's earth is wide and their interests are everywhere."

What more evidence do you require?
