My favorite song right now is Love Game by lady gaga. I <3 her.
The new fanpost editor sucks. Literally the most UN USER friendly thing ever! Of course Markos hates Americans so Im sure he designed the new fanpost format as such just to make me mad!--> Am I REALLY American?
"lets have some fun this beat is sick..."
My mother had a garage sale last weekend. She was selling all her old records , these weird plastic "vinel" (sp?) things that go in a circle on this platform. In the stack she had a SIGNED edition of Off the Wall , Michael Jackson and Thriller , Michael Jackson, with a flippin $5.00 sticker on each....
Needless to say she didn't sell them and will probably put them on ebay :D
Junk away Happy 30th

Regarding “dueling junks,” that makes me ponder the phrase sword fight. Oddly, however, the Urban Dictionary has a multitude of definitions for it.

this email is so unintentionally funny
you (the paper) state that “he (gates) is a famous expert on race” Expert why and says who? What has he done for me and my family?
he has to look up the definition of “expert” in a field (thankfully the guy is apparently a former English teacher)
I think that's the dumbest thing
I’m cool with folks being racist, they just need to be smart enough to keep it to themselves. My sister is racist as all get out and even she’s not dumb enough to put her thoughts in writing and send them to a newspaper. I’ve never heard of a cop who wanted to talk to the press and that one sent them an unsolicited e-mail. There are multiple levels of stupidity with that guy.
yeah, not only to the press but also to
“members of his unit and select officers of the Boston police”. It’s not so much as stupid, as a total mental breakdown, cause most of the mail just does not make any sense at all.
Yikes! No wonder the guy
is an EX English teacher if he spells “ask”, “ax”. How funny.

My buddy crouched down behind the boxes adjacent to either side of the main hangar with the gravity hammer, timed his pounce like a trap-door spider, and gravity-hammered the warthog off the cliff.

Berni Rodriguez (SG) not fit for the EuroBasket after a playoff ankle injury
Spain has invited DKV Joventut’s Carlos Suarez and Estudiantes’ Antonio Bueno to train with the squad, in addition to Real Madrid’s Sergio Llull (who is a natural PG, but tall enough to play SG), and it seems likely that one of those trio could be called upon to replace Rodriguez.

Quite a bit. As said below, economically it’s also a huge task no one is willing to pay for in the current situation. And strategically/geopolitically Turkey borders on some states the EU wants nothing to do with, since it would have to help defend those borders. And historically/politically Turkey poses problems due to its relationships with Greece (Cyprus) and Armenia.
That's like a semester's worth of my "Introduction to the European Union" class

Turkey no. And a number of countries are firmly against it, especially when conservative governments are in power.
And Turkey apart from the big cities is still a very agrarian state, so it would take a while for them to develop the whole country. That’s not something the rich EU countries want to pay for at the moment.
I didn't even catch he was sent to Toronto
I saw George and I instantly thought it was Dallas!
That will be the least athletic team in the world.
Oh, they got DeRozan…
Dallas got Humphries, Buckner (from Memphis, trade chip as a mostly unguaranteed deal until sometime later this year), and Jawai (project) from Toronto in addition to Marion paid at a fair price. For George and Wright and cash. I can’t figure out why Simmons doesn’t like that deal.

I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
His high school stats were good, so maybe he just wasn’t focused last year. Or he is the next Gerald Green.
Was he a one n' done?
If so, I think it’s hard to judge ’em one way or another.
Didn’t Batum rank horrible on his Euro to NBA rankings, and Rudy did well? He was right and wrong there all at the same time.
he is a one and done
but that is the flaw as hollinger does not have a lot of one and done data so each data point he gets will sharpen his model.
I believe Batum did not rate well with his system, but I will give that more of a break since Batum did play in one of the purportedly weaker leagues, so I imagine that lack of uniformity between euroleagues combined with the fact relatively few players come to the NBA, lack of data, make it a hard league to model
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

Don't know if that was discussed already (doubt it) and if it's interesting (hopefully to a few people), but a lot of internal plans from Twitter were published about 2 weeks ago and made huge waves.
For a young hot company that is potentially a disaster. The documents contain a lot of juicy information, and got in the hands of someone who isn’t really a news organization but more a tech news and gossip site. Instead of publishing just the gist of it (such as the publicly relevant information such as how the company intends to ever make a profit which is a question a lot of people have) and verifying if it was maybe even fake, he decided to take the huge scoop and publish excerpts from original meeting notes.
- Grandiose dreams (first to 1 billion users, “pulse of the planet”)
- Roadmaps until the end of the year (“next gen search” “tweet ranks”
- How to deal with celebrities like Oprah and P Diddy (“Diddy not so strategic” “Diddy values his contributions higher than we do” And a lot more like that)
- Future revenue model (verified accounts, search/sponsored tweet ads, sponsored “who to follow” tweets, etc.)
- Dealings with Microsoft “Secret project with the X-Box”
- Dealings with Google’s Marissa Mayer: “Huge Distraction” "We give her a constrained version of growth." “Can we do to google what google has done to others?” Ouch! Huge jump into doggie pooh. Marissa is top 5 at Google, and pissing her and potentially Google off is a bad idea for any new Internet business.
- Defensive strategy against Facebook. Ouch again.
- Financials (“can we make $4 million by the end of the year”, “we need to make $68 million by the end of next year”, “1$ per user per year”, user and employee growth plans)
- Potential acquisition targets and how Twitter sees them
- And so on
Wow. I feel a bit dirty just reading all that. I have seen a lot of internal documents in my career, and will see a lot more. Much of that of course is not intended to ever become public, and of course internally if you have a candid communications culture you don’t always sugarcoat dealings with external parties – assuming they never will know about it.
yeah, i've followed how techcrunch managed the "situation"
After going through the documents, I don’t think it’s such a disaster for Twitter like some have labeled, I mean, there’s some embarrassing stuff like you mention, but the rest of it it’s internal strategy more or less expected for twitter (mainly the revenue model). All in all, it makes for a great reading (i liked the part on employee happiness, how “people don’t leave jobs, they leave managers”. It would be interesting to know what material has not been made public from what was sent to techcrunch.
BTW, I found also very interesting the rundown on how the hacker managed to enter twitter’s servers and docs. Link
I think they can survive just because their idea is so popular and addictive and most people won’t care about a few ads and a recommended follow every once in a while (I get ads on Tweetie that are unobtrusive). What I e.g. didn’t see covered a lot in the documents are their scaling issues, which was one of the hot concerns. But I still assume their founders were furious, and especially their venture capital guys. And it’s a small community, so not sure if Techcrunch gave themselves a favor, and that’s what could hamper their relationships with Facebook and Google.
I remember williams and stone pretty pissed about what
techcrunch showed. Anyway Arrington loves the attention, especially when he’s month and a half away from his big techcrunch50 convention.

What’s a “junk drawer?” Is that some manner of ribald reference to having too much “junk” in your “drawers?” Do we gotta? Is it (whatever “it” is or the definition of “is” is) a rite of passage, like having too much “junk” in your “trunk”??!!?!??!11111

This is a new idea…a daily fanpost where you can put all of your thoughts that maybe don’t require full fanposts of their own but still would make interesting discussion. As long as the general site civility rules are followed I see no pressing need to keep comments here strictly on-topic either. It’s called the “Junk Drawer” after all. That means you can get a little wacky.
We’ll see how it goes. If we get enough comments and if this allows more fanposts to stay on the front page longer we’ll keep it up.

I liked the Simmons - Bucher - Stein podcast (iTunes, or over Simmons ESPN page)
Have been listening to it on my commute. Pretty entertaining, although of course they throw up all kinds of baseless assumptions. They have a discussing about David Lee and what his value would be to a championship team that is interesting. Simmons continues to underrate the Mavs. I was surprised how much all three bag on the Artest deal for the Lakers, I like Ariza but he isn’t exactly the most efficient player in the league either. In three years that’s Nic’s floor (he already blocks more, has a better three point shot and more three attempts, and turns it over less). I can agree with the Spurs being up for contention again. Stein and Bucher both briefly mention the Blazers as long shots for a championship, but they don’t go into details. Also it gets mentioned that the Blazers “don’t take on long big contracts”. Mhm interesting observation, maybe Allen isn’t trying to outspend his peers anymore? And Simmons has one of his weird trade ideas that the Blazers could have landed Billups for RLEC and Bayless later in the year if the Pistons hadn’t made the AI deal.
It was also funny that they all gushed about Kevin Durant and how well Harden fits into that roster and that they are building for the long term and ideally they would have gotten Rubio and Simmons wants to put Lee on there. And at the end no one mentions them when it comes to the playoffs/championships.
I'm about 3/4 through the first half
Been busy at work, one of the dudes said the new NBA only plans 1 year out and Simmons mentioned that only OKC and Portland seem to be planning for the future.

Cash-Strapped NBA to Sell Ads on Jerseys
You knew this day was coming, sooner than later: "Beginning this season the NBA will let teams sell ads on their practice jerseys, says deputy commissioner Adam Silver, who adds the league is continuing to explore the issue of ads on game jerseys. ‘We are operating a diverse business all around the world,’ Silver says. ‘(The sponsored game jersey) is a well-established practice in other countries. Ultimately, I think our fans will come to accept it
.’
Boo.
Bad call.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
It’s inevitably coming. I don’t have the time today to make a FanPost about it, maybe someone else will. But in Europe it started 30 years ago, and today every major sport has at least one sponsor logo on their jerseys. In fact, if you don’t, you are not an important sport. I was always surprised that the through and through commercialized US leagues (SW Airlines Dunk of the Day, Marines Teamplay, T-Mobile Halftime Report, Quicken Loans Arena, etc. etc.) didn’t adopt it a long time ago.
Even in the UK where soccer fans are proud of their team traditions they have no qualms running around with jerseys advertising for Emirates (Dubai), Samsung (Korea), AIG (USA), etc. In Germany T-Mobile is having teams run around in pink jerseys. Austria, Italy and Spain is even worse for some clubs, with sponsors sponsoring the team name. Some people will resist it, but the grand total of people will still buy a Roy jersey if Nike or Adidas or Wells Fargo or Microsoft is advertising on it. Expect it regulated in the next CBA as an additional source of revenue split among players and teams. Maybe it can cover health insurance for the players, then they will agree to it.
Yeah I don't have a problem with it
European soccer and basketball jerseys still look cool despite the advertising on them.

It's Ancient Greek.
In English, it would be, “Do not fear, only trust.” Though it could also be translated “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” Roughly the same I guess, but I like the first translation’s nuances better.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
This is what I was working on:
I think it says something like “fear not, only believe”… I’m not sure… the second part i’m pretty sure is only or just believe. The second word, of the first clause phobous becomes phobia, I think. I’m trying to verify if the last word translates to “belief” and not “knowledge”…. pistene i think is the root to epistemology—the study of knowledge… who knows….?
I can’t remember what the first article was, I sort of assumed it was negating…
by EvilKaramazov on Jul 30, 2009 8:45 AM PDT up reply actions
To break it down:
μὴ, no/not, used with non indicative verbs.
φοβοῦ, root φοβεω, meaning to fear, 2nd person singular middle/passive imperative (making don’t be afraid the more accurate translation.)
μόνον, Accusative form on μόνος, meaning only, alone
πίστευε, root πίστευω, meaning to trust, believe, have faith, 2nd person singular active imperative.
/end language geek stuff
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.

Yeah, I left all books pointing to an education with my folks. I used perseus project last year though, to verify something I was thinking about—Cybernetics and its roots. Every dictionary will tell you it has a fairly modern origin, but I believe it comes from the Odyssey. So I pulled up perseus project, looked for the root, and it’s occurrences in Odyssey. it showed me exactly where it was—granted it took like 15 minutes to perform the search.

There's no "v" in Ancient Greek.
The upsilon (υ) eventually turned into a “v” in English when preceded by an epsilon (ε). Or a “y” in other places. Likewise, the ch isn’t available, but the chi (χ) eventually became that in English. So transliterated, we would see Keuin Pritxard. Yet, in Greek, the Proper nouns need a mascilune ending so add an -ος to both names. So in Greek, his name would be roughly transliterated as Κευινος Πριτχαρδος.

do you speak Greek too or just read/write it?
The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.

Just read/write.
No one speaks Ancient Greek anymore. Modern Greek is far more simplified, but I have no ear for it, and words have different meanings now than then. Think of it as trying to read Shakespeare. That’s tough unless you have experience reading 16th century English. That was less than 500 years ago. Now imagine how hard it would be to understand if 2500 years passed. That kind of gives you an idea of how different they are.
Reading/writing doesn’t take as much to get good at as actually speaking does. Not that it’s easy, but I have more respect for people who can speak multiple languages than people (like me) who can only read them.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
so for a native speaker of Greek
would ancient and modern Greek be mutually unintelligible? As native English speakers, we could definitely have a conversation with the English-speakers of Shakespeare’s era even if some things would get lost in the static.

Some things would get through.
Some nouns and verbs don’t lose their meaning. But it would take a lot of work to understand. I’ll give another English example from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (14th century):
With hym ther was his sone, a yong SQUIER,
A lovyere and a lusty bacheler;
With lokkes crulle, as they were leyd in presse.
Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.
Of his stature he was of evene lengthe,
And wonderly delyvere, and of greet strengthe.
And he hadde been somtyme in chyvachie
In Flaundres, in Artoys, and Pycardie,
And born hym weel, as of so litel space,
In hope to stonden in his lady grace.
Embrouded was he, as it were a meede,
Al ful of fresshe floures, whyte and reede;
Syngynge he was, or floytynge, al the day,
He was as fressh as is the monthe of May.
Short was his gowne, with sleves longe and wyde.
Wel koude he sitte on hors, and faire ryde.
He koude songes make, and wel endite,
Juste, and eek daunce, and weel purtreye and write.
So hoote he lovede, that by nyghtertale
He slepte namoore than dooth a nyghtyngale.
Curteis he was, lowely, and servysable,
And carf biforn his fader at the table..
It’s readable. Kind of. But it takes a lot of work, and not everything makes sense. Same with Modern Greeks reading Ancient Greek, only magnified.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
Yeesh
drives home quite clearly just how much the English language has evolved in the last six hundred years. “And carf biforn his fader at the table” indeed! It’s interesting to see here how “i” was in usage but hadn’t replaced “y” in many of the words we still use today. I wonder how the "y"s vanished over time.

And that's Middle English.
Old English is nigh unintelligible. The first ten lines of Beowulf:
Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,

Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,

oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra

According to everyone's favorite internet resource:
Parallel to Tolkien’s professional work as a philologist, and sometimes overshadowing this work, to the effect that his academic output remained rather thin, was his affection for the construction of artificial languages. The best developed of these are Quenya and Sindarin, the etymological connection between which formed the core of much of Tolkien’s legendarium. Language and grammar for Tolkien was a matter of aesthetics and euphony, and Quenya in particular was designed from “phonaesthetic” considerations; it was intended as an “Elvenlatin”, and was phonologically based on Latin, with ingredients from Finnish, Welsh, English, and Greek. A notable addition came in late 1945 with Adûnaic or Númenórean, a language of a “faintly Semitic flavour”

Breaking news from NYT.com
David Ortiz tested positive for PEDs in 2003.
The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.
Of course he did. Practically every slugger is testing positive.
When does Pujols get caught? 2010?
I think Ryan Howard is the only slugger that didn’t use them… he’s just a monster.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
Frank Thomas was pretty outspoken about not taking them—He’s a huge guy; and most of his power came mid-90’s…

Yeah, Howard and Thomas were built like football players.
I don’t think they’ve done PEDs. Those two, and Griffey. That’s about the only sluggers I’d consider not using them.

You can assume over half the league dabbled in PEDs from 1999-2004
Ryan Howard? I wouldn’t be surprised by him.
The only sluggers that I would be shocked by at this point are Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr, and Albert Pujols.

I've seen it mentioned before
WHY would everyone be shocked by Pujols using?
I know nothing about any of this stuff these days, but he looks like he might to me. But that doesn’t mean anything, I just don’t know enough about him to know one way or another.
I'm kind of curious about that as well.
You just look at him, and he’s Mark McGuire with a better swing (he hits >.300, as opposed to that .220 crap McGuire put up).
Just because he’s been a consistent power threat since he entered the league doesn’t mean that he didn’t start using PEDs before making the show.
Look at the list of sluggers that tested positive for PEDs. Look at their build. Pujols matches it perfectly.

Yeah, a lot of sluggers and pitchers. I have no idea if that equals it out or if the offense or defense had more to gain from it. But the whole league was infested with PEDs. Sad fact of life/the sport. They can discuss if they want to keep the records like they did in track and field (except if the athlete was caught in that race), or mark the whole era with an asterisk, or whatever. It probably would be the best to publish the whole list in the offseason and move on.
I've seen more big-name hitters than pitchers.
Clemens and Pettite were caught, but that’s all of the big names that I can think of. And (w/out looking at stats) I don’t think their numbers became unreasonable. It returned them to a younger form, without the wear and tear.
But power hitter’s numbers became record setting with PEDs when they were supposed to be old and declining.

the lack of pitchers revealed
has been more surprising than what hitters have. After Clemens, I kind of wonder if they just decided to call it quits on the pitchers or something. But there are some guys that make me wonder and one of them is Pedro Martinez. Any guy with great stuff that had several consecutive years of success (I’m not talking about the Greg Maddux and Jamie Moyer type location pitchers) you kind of have to wonder, especially if they’re smaller guys.

I like his podcasts, but his writing is so arrogant and condescending. This is a guy who seriously thinks he is smarter than 80% of the GMs in the league, yet rips on blogs who have the audacity to criticize him or other ESPN personalities for unintelligent analysis.

This fixation on Tyrus Thomas at BlogaBull. The Bulls are nearly 4 points better per 48 minutes when he’s off the court than they are when he’s on the court. He has an eFG% of .454, which is atrocious for a power forward. He’s a solid rebounder but certainly not elite. And he’s apparently an uncoachable head case.

He still could be pretty good
There are some extenuating circumstances that make it tough to say he’s had a fair shot at development— Skiles didn’t seem to like him, Boylan is considered an idiot, same for Vinny…
He is extremely athletic, and could be refined into something really nice. On defense he should be let loose to create havoc, Marion and Gerald Wallace style, and rebound as much as he can. Right now, unfortunately, he is very gullible defensively so his shot blocking ability is negated by how easy it is to get him to buy a pump fake.
He also really likes to take jumpers, for a guy who doesn’t really have a consistent jumper.
I think most Bulls fans lament the fact that it hasn’t been a good situation to develop a guy who really needed development. Most of their good players came from big programs and were ready-made for NBA play. Tyrus needs consistent, one-on-one work. Maybe he has been getting it, and it just isn’t taking, but it isn’t apparanent.

I've done it every year for 3 years now

Oh, I remember what happened this recent season— I drafted him real late, he had a good first or two games, then went 1 for 10 in a game and had maybe another bad one so I dropped him.
Picked him up later on, when he started doing better.
They're not going to extend a $6.2 million QO to him next summer
An extension is unlikely, I think they’ll trade him for a draft pick and an expiring contract.
He played well, but his monthly splits are just too inconsistent. We’ll see what happens, I think he’ll peak this year at a 17.0 PER, probably averaging 15 ppg per 36.

but it was so weird that it caught my eye. that was my first time seeing her at all. i hadn’t even seen the video at the time. i dunno for some reason she pulls off that “weird” vibe better than christina did. granted christina has way more talent than lady gaga. i just like how she doesnt take herself seriously.

Christina is a Mariah, she does too much. I liked “You Don’t Know My Name” and “Diary” off her second album, but I’m not a big fan. I don’t think Christina Aguilera would make “No One” better though.
Make the music with your mouth Prz
Salaam.
AK has fake emotion in her song
She don’t know what it’s like to be heart broken. I don’t think her voice is strong enough to sing that song. I think Whitney in her prime could have pulled it off, and then I think Christina is the only other singer with the pipes to do that song justice.
I think that is a bit of a generalization
but I would venture to guess that the answer lies in that the group of performers who rely on looks and style rather than a substantive talent has more females than males. I think that probably has to do with the fact that attractive females attract a wider cross section of the population than attractive males due to social stigmas with straight males finding other straight males attractive.
In summary, no one ever accused Rico Suave of being talented.

If they put “The Wire” on, “The Shield” should be on the list as well. Maybe even “Prison Break”. I assume longer running drama series don’t count.
What’s funny is that Sopranos is dead in many countries outside of the US. For some reason people couldn’t get behind it, although it’s a pretty classic story. “24” was big and then somewhat went away.

Stringer Bell. He’s this handsome, articulate, always impeccably dressed man. You never see him lose his composure even when poop hits the fan.

Yet SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET he orders the brutal torture and murder of Brandon, the murder of Wallace, the murder of D’Angelo, he bangs D’Angelo’s woman after D’Angelo fell on the sword for the Barksdale drug trade and is serving life…he’s the closest thing to pure evil that there is on the show.

a bunch of gang members were chilling in a backyard having a memorial BBQ to one of their buddies who had gotten murdered in a turf war a year to the day earlier. A member of the rival drug gang who killed their friend jumped the fence and started spraying, and twelve people got wounded, including a 23-year-old pregnant woman and a five-year-old girl.

that it might have been a good thing that AD got taken off after 3 seasons. How depressing would it have been to see that show slide into crapiness?

This might just be my hunch, but I think all great artists, and great art, is masked and difficult so as to keep the plebs from assuming they ‘get it’. As a result, most stuff goes unheard/quietly into the night. I think it would be worse if someone totally misinterpreted the work—better that they hate it and stay away…

I think that is the way some artists
think, but the truly great artists seem very accessible by dealing with very universal themes.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
I’m trying to think of a very universal work that is really accessible. The best example I can get is Shakespeare. Does that seem right—namely that his works are great, accessible, and universal?
One of the most universal pieces in scope that I’ve ever read, The Divine Comedy, is also one of the hardest.

I would say Cervantes is more fun to read, but that Dante is easier to grasp. Quite frankly, Paradiso is pretty boring—The Inferno is a good time though. But Don Quijote is sooo much more complex. In the divine comedy, Dante has a clear point, and you can literally see where he fits into the story. His themes are consistent and they have their obvious origins in Rome, The Bible, Aquinas, etc… The irony and humor mixed with the serious content makes it hard to see what’s really going on, and where Cervantes is in Don Quijote. The themes are all over the place and the references are out of control. I don’t really understand either, but I could give you a better description of Dante’s vision than Cervante’s—And I’d rather read Don Quijote…

I wonder if it was
hard to read during its time? Probably since there were not that many literate people with access to books.
Michealangelo might be considered an artist with universal appeal. The Beatles, even though I hate that band, might be considered one.
Perhaps Voltaire, Warhol.
perhaps someone who is more of a sophisticate than I would be able to add to this. Ask Deehpan he goes to art school

I just paint a lot.
Ahhh artists with universal appeal, I might add Pollack to that, people nowadays love Jackson Pollack. Maybe Van Gough. I don’t want to say Picasso because his styles changed a lot.
As far as bands, a lot of bands from that era were popular and were artistically important; The Who, the Rolling Stones, lesser extent, The Kinks. James Brown? The 70s, Marvin Gaye, Hendrix, Led Zepplin. There’s a pretty big list. I think it’s only recently that mainstream music has gotten fairly awful. Even the 90s had bands like Nirvana that were huge.
This name is topical, what about Michael Jackson?
Garden Variety Internet Denizen
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
I wasn’t around, but there’s been some crappy mainstream music for a while as far as I can tell. You named great artists, so that list seems reasonable. But you left out all that crappy feel-good syrup of the early 60s, lame, counterculture exploiting music of late 60s/early 70s, disco, awful, awful “Carlton dance”-inducing crap of the eighties…
There was greatness in all those eras, but seriously…I’ve spent years digging through old crates of records and cassettes at home and the houses of family members and I’m convinced that the “music today sucks” thing is little more than the talk of bitter, square, middle-aged people for the most part. Obviously you don’t fit into that mold, and I actually agree with you on many levels, so my theory needs to be hammered out a little more, but my point remains. Also, Lupe Fiasco??? You need some Main Source, Ultramagnetic MCs, and old Nas, Jay-Z, AZ, Mobb Deep, and Ghostface in your life. I’m admittedly bitter that he made black skateboarders cool years after I had already been skating and I ultimately stopped because of superficial resentment over that though. I just don’t feel him as a rapper/lyricist either. I have hated few songs as much as I hated “Superstar.”
Newham Generals put out a good album earlier this year and Dizzee Rascal has a new one coming out. That’s something to look forward to.
Make the music with your mouth Prz
Salaam.
Nas is cool and had a huge influence, although now it seems to have gone back somewhat. With Mobb Deep I always instantly get “Ante Up” in my ear/brain when I hear the name, and that’s not really their best work :)
I also still like Masta Ace, especially the concept for the Disposable Arts album where a whole story is told from song to song. He also had some good songs for the summer in the city.
This year I found Reef The Lost Cauze when we played Philly and I looked for highlight mixes of Thaddeus Young, who captured his city very well in my opinion, but the song is already dated a bit since he cites sports starts that are no longer relevant in the city.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoiojiYyPPI
Mobb Deep didn’t make “Ante Up” that was M.O.P. I don’t think I can trust you anymore. Masta Ace was cool. Kool G. Rap too, but I’m not with the homophobia stuff. Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Slick Rick, and the list goes on…I wish I wasn’t a toddler in the eighties.
Make the music with your mouth Prz
Salaam.
Does your signature suggest
Prz’s nickname should be Prz Markie?
Black skaters were cool going wayyyyyyy back before Lupe Fiasco – Ron Allen, Ray Barbee, Sean Sheffey, Shiloh Greathouse, Dune, etc, etc.
Do you like Fatlip?
I started to get into him and then he was like pau. He has an awesome tranny story too.
Obviously there's been some crappy mainstream music
But I’m not really sure who I would say is artistically relevant within mainstream music of today. Kanye? lol. Mainstream rock/pop these days is pretty terrible.
I like Lupe. I don’t think a lot of people find that point unreasonable. Never said that LUPE IS THE GREATEST ever, but I think he’s pretty good. Then again, I got into him a lot later, as I’ve only started listening to rap/hip-hop seriously fairly recently. I have listened to Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, Nas, Ghostface, not the others.

Try some old school underground-ish
Del the Funky Homosapien, The Coup, Souls of Mischief are some good Bay Area groups from a while ago.
Personally, I would say any artist I enjoy is artistically relevant. I agree about mainstream rock/pop, but I’d but that to any form of music dubbed “mainstream.” I guess I didn’t do a good job of saying I was only joking about Lupe, sorry. He’s not awful but not I’m not a fan, despite what a lot of people say. Some thing that happens in a lot of music but most often in hip-hop is the huge fall off after the first album, which you more or less spend your life crafting.
Make the music with your mouth Prz

Also, you failed the crafty ‘sniff test.’ “Verbal Intercourse” is off a Raekwon album, not Ghostface.

Yeah I didn’t actually look at the links you provided but that’s because although I’m not a full blown audiophile, I hate how things sound on youtube. I was planning on just downloading them.
As far as the sophomore slump, yeah it’s definitely prevalent in all genres of music. Unless you are just terrible to begin with. SOULJA BOY TELL ’EM
Mainstream music to me is defined by the soundtrack that accompanies hazy Saturday nights at college “dancing” in dark humid rooms. Hearing things like Paper Planes, “I’m on a boat” and “I Love College” repeated ad infinitum whilst a girls derriere is gyrating in front of me.

I'm in neuroscience
I’m planning on moving back to Portland from Eugene at the end of August, so I’ve been running experiments every other day including weekends for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully in three weeks I’ll have enough data to make some figures and latch onto the paper a post doc is working on. If that doesn’t pan out the post doc that I mainly work with has a half written paper on some of the stuff I helped collect data for when I first joined the lab. If I help her write some of it I’ll get either second author or co-author credit. Then I have two other projects that I either was the main person conducting experiments or one of the main people. So if those ever get finished I should at least get mentioned or something. I just don’t know if I’ll have something at least in the review process by the time I apply to grad schools this year.

I have a super special ability to not get published.
Undergrad research: probably publishable, but my professor didn’t get tenure (probably from not publishing enough!) and left academia
2 years at biotech company: Seems everyone but me got on some publications after I left.
M.S. research: 12 years later, still not written up by the lab.
It’s so bad that my best chance of getting published was some work I did in a botany lab one summer a few years after grad school. The entire BUILDING burned down in an “ecoterrorist” incident (really!!) and all data was destroyed.
Wow, that's bad publishing karma

I really really really
Hated most of my teachers growing up. And I’m not a DUMB kid, really! Honest!
I had horrible grades in high school though.
Haha
Oh man I’ve had so many terrible teachers.
In 12th grade, my teacher said “I had a chip on my shoulder” and “He’s so young and has so much to learn, but he thinks he knows it all”. I then proceeded to embarrass her in a student teacher conference which she attempted to use as some sort confrontation, she later admitted “I’m not intimidated by you anymore”. That was 12th grade art, I failed.
I got sent to the principals office in 10th grade once for not picking up a water bottle. And failed an essay in which I used “hegemony” without a source, apparently all use of hegemony necessitate a source, and for using the word “are” , apparently using “are” more than twice in a 7 page paper showed, according to her “lack of vocabulary and poor diction”. Note, I was the only one in the entire class to fail.
Just recently I had been getting low B’s in my 100 level English class for “sometimes not writing for an audience” or “using too many block quotes”, Not for content or grammatical errors. Those were fine. I ended up failing due to “attendance”. It’s extra funny because in all of my higher level courses 200 and up, I’ve been getting A’s on all my essays.

I'm not sure what's worse
A) The teacher was a complete moron and doesn’t even know what he’s teaching
B) Only one student knew that he was wrong or only one student spoke up about it
C) The teacher didn’t simply look it up after being challenged, but instead insisted he was correct and that anything that comes out if his mouth should be accepted as truth no matter what.
D) After realizing his mistake the teacher still reprimanded the student without apology
E) This probably isn’t even the worst teacher out there

I wish it was an “elite” occupation, like lawyer or doctor, with pay that went along with it so smart people would want the job.

He then proceeded to apologize for his behavior and then in about turn of face went into the JD and said we provoked someone whose parents died in the past year, one from Huntington’s and how he was getting tested for a genetic disease.

You know, I love corvids.
They are the smartest birds.
And, unlike nearly all avians, H5N1 is quickly lethal, so they can’t really spread bird flu!
Anyway, just sharing….
*Unless KP has a secret plan that makes this statement incorrect.
They fascinate me
I’ve been casually collecting “corvid stories” for a few years. Crows and ravens get a bad rap, but they’re incredibly intelligent — they’re the border collies of the bird world.
A little anecdote.
One of my biology professors had a pet crow growing up.
Their house had tiled roofing, and when the rook was old enough it would fly up and sit on the tile. During a storm several pieces of tile became loose and when the crow went back on the roof the tile he was siting on slid down and off the roof! He apparently enjoyed it enough to try it again, and again, and again. Soon he figured out how to pry the tiles loose so he could take the ride whenever he wanted to.
The kids thought it was hilarious to watch him slid down on his miniature sled until it dropped and he took flight, the tile smashing on the ground. When my professor’s parents found out, they were less enthused.
*Unless KP has a secret plan that makes this statement incorrect.
That's a good story -- they definitely have a playful side. I'll add it to "the list"
There’s a new book that just came out called Crow Planet from one of my favorite nature writers, Lyanda Lynn Haupt. You oughta check it out.

Those newborn kids are most likely screwed up from the get-go due to having young, inept parents.
I’d argue a box condoms should be given out to high school students on a weekly basis, but it’s not up to the federal, state, and/or local governments to financially subsidize sexual contraceptives for teenagers.
Besides, those adolescents would probably be too stupid/lazy to even use them.

*Unless KP has a secret plan that makes this statement incorrect.
Ah, but I couldn't tolerate a financially burdensome, crumb-munching rugrat.
Even if I have a child someday, I’d desire to pawn off the parental responsibilities until the kid was self-sufficient enough to pretty much care for (him/her)self. Yeah, I realize I come off as a wretchedly lazy, egotistical human being.
So, until the kid reached about 13 years old or so, I’d be useless as a father figure.
