that's a scary clueless asshole twosome right there. i don't think any
two people on earth could have their heads any farther up the ass of the
establishment than these two fuckheads.
9-9-9 or 666--the number of the beast!!--ain't gonna help hermentum.
he's getting kicked all around and i'm afraid that he'll get so beat
upon that he will lose his ability to provide batshit loony
entertainment.
just awful. not mccarver bad, but still. where's tony kubek when you need him?
the nervous masters of wall street have decided it is time to squash the
uprising.
now this is an obvious frontal attack and may give the police an excuse
to arrest huge numbers of people. isn't it great that zuccotti park is
private property where the rules can be changed at any time with the
nypd to enforce the edicts of a private corporation. it would be great
if this energizes even more protest instead of effectively ending the
new york occupation. bloomberg is a douchenozzle, btw.
the mekons latest disc, ancient & modern, has apparently been
done for quite a while. the banter in 2009 at the mercury lounge
show--the first time i heard 'space in your face'--seemed to imply the
album was done or almost done and would be out relatively soon. 25
months later, it's out, and it's a doozy. the overarching concept of
parallels between the edwardian era and this modern time gives the band
an opportunity and excuse to stretch beyond the conventional
rock/country/folk style(s) and to hit some historical themes of war and
upheaval as well. it's an interesting and engaging work. while it's
not the return to rock 'n roll or anything, it grows more
entrancing with each listen and the arc of songs do indeed work well as a
complete work even if there's no clumsy concept-album narrative.
having seen both of the recent nyc shows, i can also say that the songs
on the album fit extremely well into the mekons live show set. i first
heard 'space' in 2009, and the 2011 version rocked even harder.
'arthur's angel', 'i fall asleep', 'geeshie' and 'honey bear' were also
highlights of the recent shows, giving even more depth to new album. i
like it. so will you. if the middle period mekons, from fear and whiskey to retreat from memphis--i
know, but i fucking love that album even if langford dissed it and none
of the songs are concert stalwarts; it's a strong, lean, rocking album
when the band was a core foursome--was an astounding run of perhaps the
greatest rock 'n whatever music ever, then ancient & modern is a fabulous addition to the later period, starting with journey to the end of the night, or perhaps me
if you like that self-consciously odd and profane along with
renaissance-maniac lu edmonds helming the pro tools, that features such
interesting, dark and complex music.
last night, olbermann was pretty funny getting on the jerkoffs who own the redsox attacking francona in the
globe.
now that he's gone, they wanna piss all over him. whoever takes the
job should figure on getting the fuck outa dodge after 3 or 4 seasons.
hopefully you win the series in that time, but either way you gotta go.
it's very sad to see how gullible and scumsucking some supposedly 'left' commentators are like tpm's jefe
josh marshall when it comes to the obama administration and the 'war'
on 'terror'. marshall was an immediate enabler of obama's murderous
drone attack on anwar al-awlaki. fortunately, patrick cockburn is quite a bit more intelligent, informed and sceptical, so he didn't fall the latest bullshit, the 'iranian' 'plot'.
