the return of the Great White Douche (Eisbaer) wrote this on thread quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread on board I Love Everything on Apr 22, 2010

from wikipedia, a description of both the founder and the current owner of the observer -- kind of an interesting commentary on how the composition of the city's elite has changed when you think of it:

The publisher and original owner, Arthur Carter has had other publishing interests in the past including the Litchfield County Times. At one time, he was a part-owner in The East Hampton Star. Carter received an A.B. in French literature from Brown University and an M.B.A. in Finance from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He spent twenty-five years in investment banking until 1981, when he founded the Litchfield County Times in New Milford, Connecticut. He owned it for twenty years until selling to Journal Register Company, later also selling his 50-percent interest in The East Hampton Star in 2003. He has been an adjunct professor of philosophy and journalism at New York University and is currently a trustee. He is also a sculptor. Despite his "registered opportunist" political beliefs, from 1985 to 1995 he owned The Nation.

In July 2006, Jared Kushner, a 25-year-old law student and son of a wealthy New Jersey developer, Charles Kushner, purchased the paper for just under $10 million. In April 2007 Bob Sommer became president.

The director, Stephen K. Bannon, a conservative auteur in the mold of Michael Moore right down to the New Balance sneakers, attended the screening and told CNN that he hopes to expand to more screens, but that decision would have to be made by theaters and the distributor after returns from the current release are counted.
that is a very florid, back-handed way of saying "a fat nerd"

a gentler, more innocent time, before any of us had experienced the phrase 'shaved garfield'

I am surprised that calzino's serious threads seem to get even more hostility and mockery than the myriad of banal and useless threads he insisted on previously. i guess he's the boy who cried wolf. too many people were sick of his other threads so now it's too late for him to engage the majority here in serious conversation. he ruined his chances by repeatedly abusing several posters un-necessarily. i think he lacks respect by not reading other threads - for if he did he would realise that there is a lot of political debate going on a lot of the time and that the same posters he pillories at every opportunity seem to get on fine with the vast majority of others here and display their intelligence without problems.

(only posting this because I am fairly certain he was not referring to modern "calzino" - right?)

I think this'd be the first for Aaron Judge:

Don't know, 'our' calzino posted under another name before - though he can be pretty feisty and some old school ILXors were a tad niminy piminy. (xp)

hell no it wasn't me, I didn't even know about ILX in that era, but blueski's "banal and useless" assessment still totally otm!

"Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift vs. "Let's Make Love and Listen Death From Above" by CSS a/k/a Cansei de Ser Sexy; I pick the latter (which more or more seems like it could wind up in my year-end singles top ten even though I was very iffy about their album in a review I wrote for Spin, and which also has nothing to do with c&w music), but feel free to try to convince me otherwise. The Taylor Swift song is admittedly pretty good (also better than anything Tim's done this year, just like the CSS song is better than anything DFA have done, ever. I didn't notice the middle part where they try to *sound* like DFA til I watched the highly adorable video on youtube, during which part they also dress up like DFA elephants.)

flappy bird, as if someone was going to come along and go, "Wha? ILX didn't know about Blink 182 until 2011?"

So... Amnesiac

Something else.. "Amnesiac" arrived on Tuesday and Timothy McVeigh's televised execution is scheduled for Monday. Normally I'd say the further Radiohead stray from obvious politics, the better- but in the light of this event, it certainly makes the themes of the album seem that much more poignant. From the desperation and cruelty of Knives Out ("Look into my eyes/ I'm not coming back" and "Cut him up") to the political challenges of "You and whose army?" and the aformentioned Life in a Glasshouse's call for privacy and pacifism ("but someone's listening", "We're hungry for lynching"), Radiohead seem to have something significant to say. Or am I reading too much into this? Could I be doing the same thing using choice quotes from any number of albums?

The movie, directed by Jessy Terrero from a screenplay by Bo Zenga and Chuck Wilson, depicts the raucous cross-country journey of flight No. 069 on NWA Airlines. The company was founded by Nashawn (Kevin Hart), an unemployed, self-described entrepreneur and his cousin Muggsy (Method Man) with $100 million that Nashawn won in a lawsuit against a carrier that lost his beloved pooch. NWA bills itself as the first full-service airline catering to the "urban traveler."

frat rap

its definitely an internet myopia thing on your part HOOS. Like the circles we travel (Pitchfork, Quitus, Dusted, Brooklyn Vegan, blogs, ILX) treat dubstep as this post-Burial thing of murky sounds and moody textures (King Midas Sound, 2562, James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Shakleton, Zomby). Meanwhile--mostly thanks to Caspa & Rusko--there's been a whole other scene taking over bro-dudes who are into things like Coachella and Deadmu5 (Skrillex, Bassnectar, Trillbass, Boregore).

Problem is, rock critics only cover the former, and I think I like the brostep latter BETTER.

"The Directors" of RedState describe the GOP as "rudderless" under the leadership of a White House governing without "conservative principles first" and call on all GOPers to "decisively reject the idea of "big government conservatism."

... probably some sort of record for than one first mentions in that post.

First mention for Littlejohn and only second mention for BoJo. First from Robin a few weeks earlier of course.

Roger Scruton appears in a rather unlikely place.

Taking Sides: Steps or S Club 7

SClub7 have a far more euphonious name, obviously, but (like Rage Against the Machine before them, or the Newfoundland sludge-metal outfit Long Winter's Stare) the name Steps deals with the issues: in this case, that all these fit young things can also dance (as in, turn turn step turn turn step turn). Whenever some halfwit fraud like Roger Scruton or Nick Hornby pronounces on, ooh, Madonna, and announces that actually, they can't sing, it's all production, you want so confront them with this fact: they CAN dance. That's real: so why does it get vanished from the evaluation? Why doesn't it count? It's like a clearly non-negligeable physical achievement, yet someone of no consequence to anyone. Why? How?

Can't imagine why Waterman's moaning: as always happens, the war against this year's manufactured piffle-pop alchemises last year's anathema into unimpeachable pop classicism. That Channel 5 thing wasn't exactly Pilgeresque in its hard-questions journalism, but it did remind you how cretinously reactionary MM/NME reader-think could be, in ref. SAW, and also how great and much-missed eg Mel and Kim were/are.
