The vast amount of US political news that is shoved down our throats in utter disproportion to literally every other foreign country in the world makes me eminently qualified to discuss the racist motives of your current and potential Republican shitheads leaders.

WASPS DON'T GO TO MASS

yes we do sucka

Anglicans are not real WASPs, dog.

I thought mass was exclusively a catholic term?

1) theyre only anglicans in england and 2) yes they are

high church anglicans have mass I think. also, episcopal = wasp = anglican in a theological and governmental sense (US episcopal church is part of the anglican communion)

therefore, max is right.

I don't consider them wasps

u rong dude

yep

I thought mass was exclusively a catholic term?

re: the wasps at mass debate, i can't help what the chunky wasp chick said out loud, regardless of its stupidity. maybe she thought that guy was italian, and was offering to convert, thus making it not even a zing.

Terry Teachout's latest book is Duke: A Life of Duke Ellington. He's making the book talk rounds for this. Teachout is criticized by some for his neo-con politics (I recall Christgau mixing praise and criticism in his take on Teachout's Louis Armstrong book)

National Review interview!

LOPEZ: How could music be Ellington’s mistress, as the saying goes, when the man appears to have had so many mistresses? Did a lack of discipline hurt both his personal and professional life?

TEACHOUT: I don’t know whether that question is answerable. He was, after all, a hugely prolific composer who left behind a considerable number of masterpieces, so he must have been doing something right. But we can’t know how many more he might have written had he not diverted so much of his time and energy into the pursuit of women — though it’s also important to remember that he believed this pursuit to be musically inspirational.

I'll be skipping this one. Teachout wrote an awful essay that largely dismissed Ellington's longer works, and Ellington as a composer, as inadequate for not utilizing the formalized tools of "classical music" that his music shouldn't have aspired to anyway.

Also, Christgau otm re: Teachout's politics.

ugh:

LOPEZ: One of the “peculiarities” of Duke Ellington’s career, you write, is that “he was a major composer but not an influential one.” Why is that? How does that happen?
TEACHOUT: He wrote great music, but his techniques were so intensely personal and unique unto himself that they were for all intents and purposes inimitable. Hence he didn’t influence anybody — all that other artists could do was play his songs in their own ways.

Does Teachout even know what the word "influential" means?

The idea that Ellington wasn't (and isn't) widely imitated is just .... strange

you could probably win mass approval by hopping into a pot of cold water and then remaining oblivious to any incremental temperature changes.

hile Mauricio Pochettino’s defence looked suspect on a number of occasions, he will be pleased with the standard of victory from a side which included Andros Townsend as a starter.

the main reason I'm pretty sure Nixon won't win is because it would just be too sweet to see the entire mainstream political and media class proven utterly wrong. I don't think we get to have anything that enjoyable. I really hope I'm wrong
