Rest assured: Dylan had plenty of songs after 1975 in which the only substance of quite a few songs was an asshole's rage.

Dwight, I don't get the first sentence - "contemporary lovelorn bedroom pop game Todd Rundgren." Is there a word missing there? Other than that it was ace.

Too many slug-fest "wars" for me lately, too many fighters whose skillset is now gunning for the one-punch KO. I like well-rounded fights - the drama that comes from the possibility of the fight going to the ground at any time, etc., fighters working for chokes and submissions when they are on the ground.

A lot of the best fights are lower on the card or in prelims so I just wait to hear about them and then download it.

I have read most of those and I understand the concerns being raised. Given the pop landscape of the '00s, I'm wondering what the theory is that would explain a surge in popularity for racially-encoded white-privilege pop. Beyond I mean just asserting that white kids are all little latent racists just waiting for a chance to mock non-white people. If we have to stipulate that it is possible for non-white people to enjoy these songs for (presumably) non-latent-racist reasons, then do we also allow that possibility for some of the white audience? Or is that simply out of bounds? i.e. Is it possible for a white kid and a black kid in the same 10th grade class to both have Thrift Shop on their iPhones and enjoy it in more or less the same way? Or no?

Some albums you know from the first song that it is going to be an amazing record. Then there are those with auspicious beginnings that do not even hint at the greatness that follows, tracks that you either hold your nose when it plays or maybe you skip it altogether.

This thread is for those albums...

Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast is a great album from start to finish but the opener "Invaders" always seemed like a cheesy parody of what made the album great, with the band playing faster than they needed to and completing it with a cheesy chorus. Never liked the song very much. But man, is that a great album otherwise!

Ivan Okhlobystin, a popular star with fiercely conservative views, told an audience in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk that all homosexuals should be burned alive. According to the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, in comments translated by the Hollywood Reporter, Okhlobystin also compared homosexuality with fascism.

"I would put all the gays alive into an oven," the one-time Orthodox priest has been quoted as saying. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah! As a religious person, I cannot be indifferent about it because it is a real threat to my children!"

Okhlobystin later tweeted to confirm his comments. "The meaning was rendered correctly," he said.

The "bands are unfashionable" line is a misleading assertion. Really, the story is: the big record labels cannot afford to sign and develop bands. Or, rather: many bands simply cannot survive because everyone is stealing their music for free. Yes, stealing. So labels don't bother with them any more.

Tellingly, as a music journalist the big thing I've noticed this past year is the sheer number of bands I've interviewed during their lunch breaks while working jobs at, say, the local council or in the admin office of universities. These are bands with several albums out, who tour America on their holidays. Once we'd have chatted for hours – now interviews are squeezed between sandwiches and that meeting with Sandra in Accounts.

But great bands still exist, so why does the list not include Nottingham quartet Baby Godzilla, currently the most exciting new heavy band in the country, or unhinged rickets-stricken Dickensian urchins Fat White Family? Why no head-bending skronk jazzers Melt Yourself Down? Because all are too volatile and fringe for an industry-backed poll that relies on fiscal success to keep its job. Solo artists are easier to manage and cheaper to sustain.

not for me to say who 'should' be in a list created by polling a large number of people - this is more about opportunity than anything else, about who makes the movies in the first place. there are way, way fewer female and black directors to start off with, at least making widely-distributed films
