I was gonna say, this post warmed me up to K-Jo, but apparently I had him mixed up w/JT

When I was 12, you could only get "on line" in front of a movie theater. Or at a music-store counter, to buy VINYL records!

TS: jaymc following me to the noise bored to whine about me vs Nick following Morbius to the noise bored to whine about him.

nick following morbs has a much more interesting subtext.

vs. Laurel bitching about everything to everybody

Meaning that n/a is too busy "accidentally" clicking the gay thread to drink, kev?

and i'm not really sure how copying a post in character to the "posts very much in character" thread constitutes whining

wow, i didn't know gay dudes could use implied homosexuality as a slur too, you learn something new every day

And here I thought you already had me killfiled, Nick! Nice to see you're keeping up with my posting habits after all.

ban nick

While I wouldn't counsel ignoring completely what candidates say, an aspie-like over-literal reading of their words without regard to the context is even more off-base. All of these guys are playing a bit against type to try to address perceived weaknesses. Hillary knows that women are perceived as weaker in the national security dept so she hit hawkish notes until everyone had them stuck in their head. Obama knows that black liberals are not generally regarded as paragons of electability, so from his earliest days he's introduced himself as a mainstream unifying figure careful to respect the other side. Edwards knows that traditional Southern whites are not often the first choice of liberal Democratic primary voters, so he consistently positioned himself a half-step to the left of the other two. Hil is now Rovianly trying to turn Obama's pivot towards strength into a weakness. She's saying you want to be the unthreatening black candidate, fine, now you're too centrist for Dem primary voters. (This very cleverly allows her to address her own too-centrist problem with Dem primary voters by making her appear to be the more leftwing candidate without actually making gestures toward the left that would compromise her in the general). She may justify this by saying that such an approach will only help Obama in the general if she loses the primary. But she's also going directly for Obama's strength by trying to turn him back into the black candidate. Oh no, she wouldn't go so far as to marginalize him into Jesse or Al, but she's perfectly comfortable portraying him as a 'very likeable', charming, smooth-talking guy who can't be completely trusted (Vito to Pino on backstabbing in the backroom) and might let you down in the end (you know what I'm talking about, girlfriend!).

As for the Dems who want a candidate who's perceived as a fighter, of course there are more of them than Dems who just like the guy who's perceived to talk flowery (tho the ratio is smaller than it used to be). But that seems irrelevant in a general tho - I don't think either of these Dem groups decides the election. Independents do, and we have a pretty good idea who they like more.

oops wrong thread

hahahah

I donwloaded this off Derek ages ago but have only just, prompted, vanity-style, by Matt DC's mention of me in his post way up where, got around to listening to it. And I like it. Nicely organised! Haha, it is very sweet, and spacious, and gentle. It's just... music? I wouldn't listen to it for the sake of it being "afropop". I'd listen to it because it's got some great sounds and melodies and rhythms and vocals. Nice strings, too. (Looking at it in Audacity, there's shitloads of space. Niiiiiice.) I'm gonna go and buy a real copy of this, and without fear. The brevity of the songs stops it veering full-on into Paul Simon / Peter Gabriel / Sting wankywank. I think. It's just good odd-pop, aye? The lightness of touch is what confirms it to me as pop.
