I didn’t like Timmons when he was in Danger Danger, mostly because they were local hair band knuckleheads who were around the NY scene way too long before getting their deal.

He’s more than redeemed himself with the post-DD stuff. His chops are considerable, and all the more impressive being played on a Tele and not some pointy guitar.

Overall I agree but put “Grandma got run over” in #4.

The only Christmas music I can tolerate outside of the carols at church during the actual Christmas season (AFTER advent, thankyewverymuch) any more is the Mannheim Steamroller stuff. Schlocky and corny quite often but 1) the band is enjoying themselves more than most of the rote performances we get from “stars” and 2) NO VOCALS! That alone shoots them to the top of the chart for me.

I went and saw Spectre this afternoon. (No Spoilers)

The cinematography was fantastic, storyline wasn’t bad, but to me it seemed like Daniel Craig was just sort of phoning it in. It’s time for a new Bond, I think he’s just tired of the franchise. Christoph Waltz was GREAT, and Dave Bautista made a great classic ‘unstoppable henchman’.

I have to admit, it’s the first Bond flick in a long time that I felt bored watching.

re: #59 Stanley Sea Toujours

Bookmarked. I will need all my brain to read.

I’m reading it a piece at a time, because even the author admits it’s not an interview per se - more like a monologue. As he puts it -

I hope it won’t sound too much like dereliction of duty but when the subject of an interview is as garrulous and opinionated and indiscreet and just plain entertaining as Noel Gallagher is, the job of the journalist is simply to turn up with a fully charged Dictaphone and press “record”.

There’s little need for searching questions or penetrating insights, and good luck with trying to get a word in even if you had arrived armed with those. (I’d had a bash, of course, as you do, but I needn’t have bothered.)

Better to sit back, keep quiet, and enjoy the show. It’s not that one is a non-participant exactly, just that the vacancy is for an audience member and the requirement is to nod, laugh or grimace at the right moments.

Only a handful of times in the two hours and more we spent talking did I - gently - attempt to steer the conversation, to pick Noel up on some small point of fact, or challenge an opinion.

“Honestly,” he said, exasperated, after perhaps the third such timid intervention, “you’re like my missus, you are. You’re interrupting! You’re putting me in a corner!”

“Sorry,” I said, but he’d already started on the next anecdote, so he didn’t hear me.

Still. Noel is the most quote-worthy rock star since Lennon IMO.

More deep thoughts from Ben Carson supporters:

“I believe a lawsuit for liable and deformation will cure such yellow journalism. Have at ‘em Ben. We’re on your side.”

I hate deformed yellow journalists (unless they’re carrying red cups!)

I am refusing to watch media, at all. When the guy Lester on nbc news said somthing about an interstate being shut down somewhere due to a sand storm (I’m the US) He used a Muslim word to describe it. Not sure about my spelling (habod) I guess that means sand storm, however I’m not Muslim and in america it’s a sand storm. I stopped watching that day.

Speek Murcan, you heathens!

I think he might be bored in the White House

He can take a nap—I hear they have some nice bedrooms there.

I wonder what the news would have done if Jesus himself ran for President? Oh they crucified him? Keep up the fight Ben will pray for St Michael to fight the dromedaries of evil that try to deface your honesty and good values.

OK—I admit to not being much of a bible scholar, but what are the dromedaries of evil?

Don’t back down, Dr, Carson……I read the end of the book and we win! (Not the end of your book. The original Healer’s……wink emoticon )

And you can take THAT to the bank.

Every 10 or so comments, someone will point out:

It seems like Ben Carson supporters don’t understand the meaning of the word parody…

or

Um, did anybody actually read this article? It was printed in a parody issue of the Yale Daily News. Parody? meaning not true? And the troubled Carson holds this up as proof? And right wingers believe a parody is reality. Well, admittedly that part doesn’t surprise me. (And by the way, even the ‘facts’ in this story are the opposite of Carson’s story. Apparently nobody left, but several students fooled by the parody showed up — and maybe Carson was one of them.

These comments garner no response, no rebuttal—it’s just back to:

We are too smart to believe a word of their smear campaign. If it’s not coming out of your mouth, we don’t believe it.

and

Ben, you are in my heart and my support for you is getting stronger every day. You are my president already.

Then, a PLAN OF ACTION:

i think it time to boycott the news paper co. i would think Nov 13 to 15 would send a message to them.. that Friday.. Sat..and Sun. paper. there weekend paper is the biggest seller because of classified advertisement.. it time to hit them in their pockets

And NO RED CUPS, folks!

OK—I’m done now. My brain hurts (and I DON’T want Dr. Ben to get anywhere near it.) Sigh

My least favorite traditional carol is The First Noel. The words sound like some dithering old biddy came up with them on a rainy afternoon. The song is already repeating itself before it makes it to the end of the first verse. Really rotten poetry in every verse.

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

re: #72 b.d.

Dole came from the Gerry Ford school of politics. By today’s measure of Republicans, Gerry Ford is a communist. Ford was probably the last of the Republicans who grew up under Eisenhower’s political dominance.

I strongly believe that the continued urbanization of America has led to a rural-urban divide in American society that we see playing out today. In most cases, the wingnut Republicans draw their popularity from low population density parts of any state. And even in megalopoli it is the large-tract suburban areas that are wingnut havens (such as Orange county here in SoCal.)

Added to the heap of change is the fall of the old Protestant worldview in light of modernity. That is really hitting hard in pockets around this country. Carson, Cruz, etc. milk these poor folk for all their dissonance will allow.

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a snob. I’m not really a fan of “shredding” on guitar. I do get the “holy shit, how does his/her fingers move so fast?” factor. I love (and sometimes get bored by) Richard Thompson. One of my favorite bands is The Only Ones, but the best solo was on “Counterfeit Woman” not by their own guitarist, but a true shred by Glenn Tilbrook. I prefer Adrian Belew to Robert Fripp.

But every once in awhile—especially as I get older—I do like to hear something touches my sense of awe if not my emotional core.

I still remember my good old parents and their old school ways of getting a Christmas tree and we’d decorate it either the evening before Christmas Eve or Christmas eve morning. And the tree would be down day after New Years if it was up that long. And that was the season. It was great. It was special because it was a brief week long celebration at the shortest daylight time of the year. A great time to overeat on once a year treats and get drunk!

Because it’s vital for the RWNJ narrative. If they support somebody, and that same individual ever does anything that isn’t in accord with their rigid code of beliefs, the only possible explanation is that the individual is a “Liberal / Gay / Progressive / Dem Plant”.

Because it makes total sense that somebody was groomed for a sleeper mission for the last 30 years to make you look bad.

I got fed up with everyone bitching and screaming ‘boycott!!’ on my FB feed, so I told them all to pick one of the other 15 malls and shop there, since a Christmas tree is now a must-have before any Christmas shopping can be done.

There’s should be a national law requiring all states to implement vote by mail on demand, with no excuse or pretext required.

There’s should be a national law requiring all states to implement vote by mail on demand, with no excuse or pretext required. Also a law all state voter ID requirements for federal elections should be deemed fulfilled by either presenting ID, or if lacking an ID applying for one and being photographed at the time of registration.

Id like to see automatic voter registration and updates with all drivers license issuance/changes, assuming legal voting age. If younger that LVA, automatic registration by DMV ain thief LVA birthdate.

I’m not married to a national holiday (but I do like the concept); whatever will allow more people access I’m all for.

Just saw a stupid meme. Points out Carson’s SAT scores and whines about Obama’s records being sealed. I don’t know how accurate the info is but test scores aren’t everything and Carson has said a lot of genuinely ignorant things.

The meme that says he had “the best SAT scores in 20 years in Detroit”?

Lie.

If he had perfect SAT scores, if he got a 1600 — there’s several dozen Detroiters every year with that score. My (public) high school in a LA suburb, out of a graduating class of 400, had 8 perfect scores. It was a better than average school, with higher than average test scores, but not outrageously so. A full 1% of test-takers Every. Single. Year. get perfect scores.

Voter pre-registration should (for citizens only obviously) be done as part of getting a Social Security number, when you turn 18 the registration activates. That would track automatically with job, school financial aid, disability. Then the ID requirement, if any could be fulfilled through one of several options. A ballot could then be authorized by signature as is done now, or to remove the subjectivity of having some asshole at the precinct deciding if your signature matches voters could pre-validate their physical absentee ballots via text message by texting in a code from the ballot stub from an authorized cell phone number, plus a personal PIN. Alternatively they could go online when they receive their ballot and authorize it via code plus a PIN from a validated email account.

These methods would still involve the same auditable paper ballot, but would eliminate all but the most disingenuous concerns over vote fraud. Ignoring the fact the pretty much all current concerns of vote fraud are already disingenuous.

The biker salute means ‘two wheels down’. You’d have to use four fingers for a Civic. It isn’t just for the tough guys. I get it when I’m riding on highways with my 300cc scooter with my nerdy full helmet (although usually not from the tough guys).

I don’t get the reluctance to conclude it was a bomb. The only alternative explanation looks even worse for Russia, that the plane came down because of deferred maintenance caused by not paying their mechanics.

Kogalymavia, the Russian company whose charter plane crashed in Egypt last weekend, killing all 224 people on board, had not paid its staff in two months, according to employment watchdog group Rostrud (link in Russian) and local media reports.

The bomb finding is a godsend for Putin’s government because now they can blame it on Egypt instead of their own fucked up handling of the Russian economy.

I can easily understand how Westfalia van drivers would wave at each other. I’m kind of surprised that other rust-bucket Volvo drivers (‘92 940 GL) don’t wave at me (my wife mostly drives our new Civic). Mostly, they seem to be stitching leather patches on their tweed jackets as they drive.

If you watch the how-to video I posted, the chord changes are pretty basic and the fretting is also pretty basic. The trick is to do all of it really fast and accurately, which is a matter of practice, practice, practice. Partially muting the strings with the heel of his hand is a nice touch.

I don’t practice enough, so that’s why my guitar playing is snail slow.

As for the 1/64th notes, listen to some baroque period music sometime. Those guys loved 64th notes! Long runs of them.
