I knew the spam line would work.

If this was really occuring at my school (and how did you know that not only did we have pre-fab drama classrooms but that I had a drama teacher called Mr Wilson stalker) this would possibly be the point when you might have wrestled me to the ground ankicks to the ribs. However people watching would snigger behind your back in the knowledge that sometime in the next three days - when you least expect it - I would smash you round the back of the head with a chair.

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.

This track doesn't strike me as light; it strikes me as inane, a step above the Cheeky Girls.

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

"The first thing that made me suspicious of Osama Bin Laden was that I don't know anybody else with any of those names. Then the bombings. That made me suspicious too. You know, the first time I heard it, I thought they said Dick Van Patten had bombed our Nigerian embassy and I thought that it confirmed some grave doubts I had about the former '8 is Enough' head honcho. Turns out,it wasn't Dick, but Osama ...but 'Bin Laden' actually is Arabic for "Van Patten." Makes you think, Right?"

I feel sorry for the lot of you who took the time out of your lives to try to hurt my feelings. This was an obvious JOKE, or I thought it was. Not surprising that some dolt from pitchforkmedia would miss the point (they always do).

However, there were some people who realized it was self-mockery (I think)... then, there were those who actually felt the need to point out my (obviously intentional, I thought) hypocritical finger pointing.

How one could be confused by such a blatantly idiotic post is beyond me. A diatribe that makes no sense and contradicts itself?!

And, I'll agree with Dan, by the way, about Terry Pratchet. I think the douche who "read that survey a couple weeks ago" and "got confused because he read two books at the same time" is full of shit: a total fake who can use a search engine really quickly. "I know everything so well, I get ideas that are completely dissimilar mixed up!" What a moron. It's hard for me to believe this guy is going for his master's.

A seperate thread to discuss

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?

Gibson is not a real catholic but part of a dangerous and schismatic movement called the latin tridentines who are trying to crawl back to pius xii, ie before the massive and important (and god inspired) changes of the second vatican council.
this film is propaghanda for a christianity that is legalistic (which paul warns against)--by that legalism the view of the church as alive and interacting with its traditions is lost, with these things lost, there is also lost the progressive church inspired by a view and of Jesus as a radical and progessive social leader.

he is v. much informed as well by a political agenda that is as conserative as it comes.

i am not looking forward to this film, as i am not looking forward to the continued infulence of thoughts similar to Gibson, including Cardinal Ratzinger, who has met and disucssed the persavation of the family with our friend mel.

Well, I found myself really just indulging more in my traditional artists (the ones with actual staying power and talent). I bought older albums because there hasn't been much music that's worth anything lately. Pink is probably the only artist who is more modern- esque. I dig her. I pre-ordered a Robyn album that will come out next year in America. But besides that, I can't really say anyone has tickled my fancy.

i went in '99 - really enjoyed it. the venue is actually brilliant because you're in the Bowl which is this valley-like plain and you have high hills surrounding the site so jeep lights at the top look like meteors, haha. its fairly easy to get to but it did take quite a long time to get in at about 4pm on the Saturday, traffic jams etc. - people being too monged to park properly etc. other potential highlights: the line-up is usually the best any big dance event gets in the UK nowadays, those silver sheets that keep you warm at night, the possibility of bumping into Russell Brand and attempting to 'out-loon' him with your deranged ramblings about The Flumps, losing all your mates before 10pm and not seeing them again until 5am at the earliest...
one downside is its corporate branding central and if you're not with Orange you probably wont be able to charge your phone unless they've switched to Vodafone for a site charging station this time, but thats no big deal considering its a 20 hour event or thereabouts. be wary of scallies on the blag and security corps rummaging through your bags for smuggled booze and spliffs tho eh?

Surprised this hasn't been posted here before:

Kerry's my guy for now, and I don't think that will change though I like him less personally the more I read about him.
I like Dean (especially) and Edwards (somewhat), but don't think either has enough experience. Gary Hart intrigues me, but I think he's running for a position of influence, not President, and I'm not sure he'd be a good one. Lieberman and Gephardt are definitely qualified, but I have substantive problems with both, and Gephardt is unelectable. Maybe Lieberman too.

Clinton, writ large, can run of course. Biden would be very interesting.

I will vote for whomever is the nominee, though.
