If I could find a Canadian kid with the Rick Astley sound and the Rick Astley feel, I could make a billion dollars.

so there's a chamillionaire single at #13 on itunes (take that justin bieber!) called "good morning" that i had no idea existed. it's from his album that is supposedly coming out on dec. 8 and i guess this is/might be a hit?

One of those is real (and technically not the first mention--he had been included in three Billboard charts previously posted).

Back-to-back posts, seven minutes apart, so maybe call this one a tie:

I heard about that. It's almost as depressing a thought as LeBron James' school broadcasting his games on Pay-Per-View.

BTW, wouldn't Stubby Clapp be the perfect name for a halfback?

I scrolled through three years of Donnie Hathaway posts (plus one Nancy Culp) to find that.

not a by name mention but i posted about bieber months before that: Rolling Worst Songs of 2009 (formerly 'I AM SO FUCKING APPALLED')

I saw Mulholland Drive and was able, through force of will, to cause the two female leads to experience the joys and mysteries of physical love together. Twice. It was wonderful.

Well, looks to me like it'll be over in a week. Kerry will win Missouri, Dean probably won't win a SW state, an Edwards SC win will get him bonus points for a possible Veep spot, Clark will get left behind, Joementum will be no Mo. I think Lieberman is now my second favorite candidate...

Lou Reed, Take No Prisoners. (Lou Reed's own website is delicious in that it praises ALL of his decidedly uneven output, even hailing "Disco Mystic" as a sharp bite of satire)

In general though, I think this is just a variant of the "I liked the earlier stuff better" syndrome -- or maybe the other way 'round.

There are also those, like me, who claim that Costello's Trust is better than This Year's Model, which is fairly scooby, I think.

I just found that last spasm of violence in WM weird and out of nowhere; also the son character was kind of 'let's throw in some absurdist King Lear/Conrad' stuff.

just to say that spasm of violence was there at the very beginning of the film. also way more fascinating re: colonialism than "exotic africa" etc...

Anyway, actually here to post Brody's list

1. “Shutter Island” (Martin Scorsese)
2. “The Social Network” (David Fincher)
3. “Somewhere” (Sofia Coppola)
4. “Greenberg” (Noah Baumbach)
5. "Black Swan" (Darren Aronofsky)
6. “Around a Small Mountain” (Jacques Rivette)
7. “Daddy Longlegs” (Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie)
8. “The Strange Case of Angelica” (Manoel de Oliveira)
9. “Tiny Furniture” (Lena Dunham)
10. “Our Beloved Month of August” (Miguel Gomes)
11. “Ne Change Rien” (Pedro Costa)
12. “The Father of My Children” (Mia Hansen-Løve)
13. “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” (Woody Allen)
14. “Hereafter” (Clint Eastwood)
15. “The Portuguese Nun” (Eugène Green)
16. “The Army of Crime” (Robert Guédiguian)
17. “Outside the Law” (Rachid Bouchareb)
18. “Audrey the Trainwreck” (Frank V. Ross)
19. “Boxing Gym” (Frederick Wiseman)
20. “Catfish” (Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman)
21. “Cyrus” (Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass)
22. “Open Five” (Kentucker Audley)
23. “Get Him to the Greek” (Nicholas Stoller)
24. “Spring Fever” (Lou Ye)
25. “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” (Edgar Wright)

I'd actually agree with a number of those, despite the fact that Brody annoys the living crap out of me most of the time.

Her debut feature beat her by over 6 months:

"name a single decent American-made feature film this year"

if we're talking docs, i could name at least ten

if we're talking fiction, i haven't seen but have heard great things about COLD WEATHER, BLUE VALENTINE, WINTER'S BONE, TINY FURNITURE and PUTTY HILL.

the next super group is going to be the perfect mix of rap, rock and party good times.
and the next band i think is going to be moderatly big is this group out of montreal called "arcade fire" easily lovable, lyrics are at least never embarassing (some might even say sincere) decent songwriting and excellent instrumentation. they'll be huge with the college set.

(Wow, that link is still active.)

Stayed up to watch the Whole Match re-screened from 1am last night, with no idea of the result. Tyldesley and Pleat. Reading about naked teenagers in American cemeteries during duller passages of play.
Amazed when Heskey's goal went in. Fell asleep till Clive T's noise woke me up again minutes from the final whistle. Houllier and Thompson hugging at the end. Flames on the Kop.

Consider that very recently, Liverpool seemed to have NO CHANCE of getting to the QFs. Fantastic achievement, forceful performance, extraordinary turnaround, vs a very dangerous team. An occasion for Pool fans to be really proud.

Big congratulations to Liverpool's players, management and supporters (not least on ILx).

Paul Krugman's columns are very informative and very insightful. You may have seen the red/blue maps with relative population density factored in. A totally different picture. Most of those red states are mountains, deserts, plains, and forests. Some states have more livestock than people. One personal observation though. There aren't self-reliant, rugged individualists left in this nation anymore. We're one ignorant nation of self-centered sheeple.

Dan Perry, I agree that rural America can be dangerous, but I think you exaggerate a bit. Rural America is not really that dangerous on the whole, but a large proportion of crime is in the suburbs and small/medium sized cities. I live in Florida, a state which cannot begin to make any claims of moral superiority. It's a real cesspool down here. Florida is the second-chance and has-been state. America's failures seem to eventually make it down here. The Miami metro area represents just about everything that's wrong with the nation. Orlando and Tampa are disgusting places with disgusting people. Really, it's a different country down in South Florida. I'm not all that pessimistic though. That's just the way I see it. Good people live all over the country. And very many rural Americans really are good-natured and pleasant and more tolerant that one might expect. If I broke down, I would expect more help and kindness from the rural folk than some middle class suburbanite who lives in a gated subdivision.

As I may have said elsewhere, ages ago, if the Coen Bros were a pop group they would be the abysmal WEEN - ie: 'wacky' exercises in genre coupled with general snootiness towards folk with 'crazy' regional accents. Gah!
I like films which feature: a) people dressed up like bears (regle de jeu) b) dinosaur skeletons (bringing up baby, one of our dinosaurs is missing) c) french people singing (les parapluie de cherbourg, une femme est une femme) d) philip seymour hoffman

Dr Legge's status as a "TV favourite" is not beyond challenge.
And fabulous people of my acquaintance even live in Peckham, Penge and [!ack!] Fulham.

I didn't say it was "like" the Evil "H" twin-zone. It isn't. However it is next to them, and that will do.

Strokes aren't hated cause they're rich, its their dad's connection to their remarkable rise to 'Buzz Band'. Their recorded output consisted of a three song cdep and soon everyone was wetting their pants and the viral marketting campaign was in full swing. Im sure everyone here is on at least one mailing list that has a random person all of a suden post somethign from a link to the band to a full article from the NME about how 'New York' the band is. Even Pavement and Liz Phair had a few cassette tapes out before they got their infamous indie cred, label deal and instant fan base.

For a start I do not mean comfort music as in comfort food. I mean music that has a revitalizing effect that inspires non-self-deleterious mindsets and behavior, like if anything with a beat makes you resent being sober. For instance, music that reminds me of academia and productiveness is good for me, like when I'm listening to that plucky Mark Mothersbaugh inst. track from Rushmore when I'm driving. I imagine the street being lined with ivy and myself having the stamina to even walk a single fucking block, maybe wearing a vest and shit. I even make little twitches with my imaginary moustache when I feel like this.

You know those intensely AVERAGE looking chicks in the American Apparel ads? They make me realize that skinny party chicks that rock Lululemon gear will only lead to paranoia or boredom. Regular honeys are reliable and when you get sketchy you can nuzzle into their womblike heft and just complain and complain about whoever you want to kill. Word?

You go, you go, you go! Yaaaaaaaaay!

Yeah, the self-satisfied smugness of large proportions of the anti-corporate movement is pretty much what stops it from being as effective as it could and should be. On the other hand Robin, I'd say your formulation of socialist politics and perceptions has been largely superseded - the socialists *own* the anti-corporate debate at university, and they're the major instigators of the elitism as far as I can tell. They've all read third hand descriptions of Adorno and "know" that everyone not in the movement is a mindless zombie hypnotised by the culture industry - an all to easy and often hypocritical explanation, as far as I'm concerned.

A similar situation has developed in radical feminist and queer politics, where the enemies are no longer men and straights so much as unenlightened feminine women and straight-friendly gays and lesbians. But then I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that reason doesn't enter into uni politics. Reason? We've got the rest of our lives for that!

layers of meaning

well, 2 layers

My um guess from what I've seen of request for guess papers is that "guess paper" is a term for "written test" (possibly somewhat standardized? maybe multiple choice?) in some sort of Indian English -- does that seem reasonable?

Alex:
"As for whose marketing plan I would like to see? Possibly the Conservative Party's."

Blame New Labour for foot-and-mouth, tour the "heartlands" denouncing the internet and stirring up contempt for immigrants and asylum seekers, warn that Britain will be turned into a "foreign land" during a second Labour term, endlessly get photographed sympathising with beleagured West Country farmers, and then lose 75% of your safest rural seats to the LibDems, and the other 25% to Labour. Consign your leader to the backbenches, promote the man who said "Mess with the SAS and you mess with Britain" to leader as your token liberal, gradually descend more and more into disarray, break up, see your moderate members join the LibDems or Labour and your hardline members join UKIP or the BNP, be the subject of countless tearful obituaries in the Telegraph, cease to exist, and then be remembered only as the subject of innumerable retrospective books and TV series for the rest of time.
