ILx "first mentions"

The 2006 American Midterm Election Day Thread

(...)RedState is calling for scrubbing of Rep. Denny Hastert (R-IL) and election of Rep. Mike Pence (R-06) as leader of the House GOP and Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) as Whip. "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." (The Blogometer)

"MSNBC's Matthews, observing the celebratory behavior at the Dems' HQ: "Rahm Emanuel appears to be doing some kind of dance."

MO SEN: Claire McCaskill came on stage to “Respect” (MSNBC). McCaskill, addressing supporters: "This election was not about me. This election was about you" (MSNBC). Talent conceded at 2:03 am ET. Talent, addressing supporters: "All our efforts fell a little bit short this time."

I have vendettas against many people I have never met, among them George W. Bush, William Hague, Robin Page, William Rees-Mogg, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Charles Moore, Boris Johnson, Dominic Lawson, Roger Scruton, Richard Littlejohn, Peter Hitchens, Ian Bruce, Oliver Letwin, Adrian Flook, Andrew Rosindell, Bob Dunn, Christopher Chope, Iain Duncan Smith, Ann Widdecombe, Chris Moyles, Neil Hamilton, Christine Hamilton, Gillian Shephard, Virginia Bottomley, John Townend, Christopher Gill, Laurence Robertson, Sir Richard Body, and many, many more.

... 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.

The Jacob Rees-Mogg one is notable because he didn't even become an MP until nine years later.

even by 2001 he had already done a lot of work to establish himself as a notable tosspot, though:

At the 1997 general election, Rees-Mogg was the Conservative candidate for the traditional Labour seat of Central Fife and attracted ridicule, after canvassing a largely working-class neighbourhood with his former nanny;[8] on election night he came third, gaining 9% of the votes cast,[13] slightly fewer than half of the votes won by the previous Conservative candidate in 1992. However, rumours that he had toured the constituency in a Bentley were described as "scurrilous" − he insisted it had been a Mercedes.[14]

In 1999, when it was being rumoured that his "anachronistically posh" Received Pronunciation accent was working against his chances of being selected for a safe Conservative seat, Rees-Mogg was defended by letter writers to The Daily Telegraph, one of whom claimed that "an overt form of intimidation exists, directed against anyone who dares to eschew the current, Americanised, mode of behaviour, speech and dress".[15] Rees-Mogg himself stated (in The Sunday Times, 23 May 1999) that "it is rather pathetic to fuss about accents too much", though he then went on to say that "John Prescott's accent certainly stereotypes him as an oaf".[16] He later said "I gradually realised that whatever I happened to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favour dropped as soon as I opened my mouth."[7]

Well, well, well Dr C, you and others seem taken aback by our defense of Killing Joke but believe me we are not, as some have suggested, a bunch of neandethal zealots. How many gigs did you go to last year ? I could name you hundreds of bands and artists whose vinyls, tapes & CDs I cherish but there's something special about Killing Joke IMHO.

Since the mighty Joke have not toured the UK for 6 years, maybe we're all suffering from PMT (pre manic tension) ! Inukko admitted only hearing post 1994 work - there is a treasure trove of stuff to indulge yourself in - go ahead, enjoy.

And as for the objection to the robust defence, abuse !?! Those living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. We're not the elitest ones. Honest.

blimey i took a long time to say things in those days

two good posts stitched impertinently as one. situational detailing aside, the ground contested is the ability to control the discourse, at least where certain subjects are concerned. i prickle when such muscles are flexed, but no matter how proudly i fluff my noble principles, i know deep down that my reaction can't be cleanly separated from my position in the structural equation. if i stood to gain from the recentering of power, i might see things differently. this admission in turn suggests that some really do have something to gain here, and generally speaking, i'd at least like to think i stood with them (most of the time, anyway). oh, but still those time-honored, status-quo-maintaining principles, jamming their virtuous little elbows in under my ribs. wypipo problems...

I don't know what's more impressive, PP accidentally prophesying the WikiLeaks dump or Mordy patiently holding onto the 'Chelsea Morning/Chelsea Manning' pun for 5 years until a suitable context arose to use it again

I have no idea how "Chelsea Manning" entered my head 9 years ago.

To toot mein horn I have a v.v. short piece for the Voice on Sizzla which actually touches on some of this stuff.
Directors cut of the relevant bit from the opening.

"Bertolt Brecht, Jarvis Cocker, Sizzla -- class war cabaret lives on. I suspect the Weimar antifa signification is long lost (since Nico sang "Deutschland Uber Alles" at least) but still there's the allure of the musical format itself: the implicit stage providing room for vocalists to stretch into the immediacy of artifice laid bare, for nuances opening into performatives of sleazy prole seduction. "

Also mark do you think "bent the stick" is an overused phrase and where does it COME from?

Jack Cole wrote this on thread Elitism vs. Populism in Music on board I Love Music on 10-Jul-2002

Harry Smith's Anthology is creating a definition of Folk with his choices of songs ranging from country to blues to gospel, etc. He's making the first frankenstein to heavily influence the coming members of the Folk Movement. The Anthology may be Folk, but that doesn't necessarily mean the songs themselves are. What's Folk about it and why its influential is what Harry Smith says about the songs and presents them (fake news headlines, etc). It's the interpretation of the collection itself that becomes a large part of what American Folk is. Also, in my previous comment, I should have described it as a genre that peaked in the 60's.

But according to the folks at the Oxford English Dictionary, which tracks the historical usage of words, the first recorded use of “stan” as a verb that they have found so far was in a tweet from April 2008

https://theoutline.com/post/2425/when-stan-became-a-verb

here you go: i think al shipley's choice of herb-ass rappers to stan for indicates he can't really criticize a dude like rick ross saying his voice sucks

Rick Ross - Port Of Miami

Let's get Ethan in the OED.

yes!

lol that's way too late

I was actually surprised that that was the earliest ILX post I could find. But it still beats the OED's citation.

considering the song came out in fucking 2000 there is no way it took 8 years to transition to a commonly used verb - I feel like it happened almost right away in hip hop circles

I looked into this: Google gives 14 pages of results for "stan for" between 2000 & the end of 2007, none of which are used in this sense (it's mostly "thanks to Stan for..."). Variations like stanning or stanned will also get you nothing in that timeframe.

In contrast it took me about a second to find examples of people using "stan" as a noun on hip hop fora & blogs a few years before that - if you make an actual effort it's v possible you'll find stuff even earlier. But looks like if people were using the verb form before 2008, they weren't doing it on the internet

pish

peak jaymc

i still support bumping this thread whenever it can be used to one-up the OED

"there are some things that should always be ok"

remember when Suzy claimed that she coined the word gaydar?

there should genuinely be a trigger warning on that turdpile xxp

gah maybe the dude's poisoned towards women but I still think he's got good intentions despite his youth and social disaffection - needs to hang elsewhere IMO
