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.

I can only speak to levi's 501/505/517/Trucker Jacket denim as those are probably the only models still around from when you were a kid.

For North American markets, the denim that levi's uses for the above models still consists mostly of long staple pima cotton from Texas, blended with other cottons.

If you wore shrink to fit 501s as a kid, than you are probably used to a raw denim with a more rough "hand". Or maybe it is the feel of the advances in open-end yarn construction technology compared to the old way of ringspun (or double ringspun) yarn used to weave denim. Or maybe it's projectile loom weave versus the old way imperfect weave of vintage Draper shuttle looms. It's hard to say.

But let's not be naive, low-end denim is made as cheaply as possible as unlike other industries, apparel has actually suffered relative deflation compared to other consumer goods over the past 20 years. It is more than likely made from the lowest grade cotton available using low-skilled laborers with an incentive geared towards yield rather than quality.

To replicate a pair of pre-1970s levi's 501s (1970s MSRP $19.99) profitably would command a retail price of over $100. To utilize selvage Cone denim (up until 1983) would put you close to $200. But in a day when you can buy jeans for $8 at a mass market retailer, those prices seems absurd to the average consumer.

van gogh never sold one painting during his lifetime

Actually, the problem I have at work isn't uncontrollable boner-popping, the problem I have is with people thinking I have major digestive problems, when I really just keep taking breaks to impregnate the toilet. I get off on not washing my hands and sharing finger-foods with the girls at work. It's like my penis is in their mouth!
Ok, that was a bit distasteful. But, it's funny because it's true! (Not really. [but is it not really "funny" or not really "true?])

If there was only one man left in the world, and only one woman. And she wasn't into it, but without intercourse humanity would die? Surely rape in that case would be better than murder, or genocide, which is what her continued and consistent refusal would be, possibly the extinction of all intelligent life in the universe?

LGTP = surprisingly good! the best of those 3, at least.

i am rather disturbed by seeing will ferrel with 'afro-disiac' caption in the subway every day ;_;
