  • The future of Public Enemy is none of your goddamned business.
  • dukeofdelridge said:Is this how people watch teevee now? Word. I appreciate the richness of the new model, I guess, but have a hard time stomaching the distilled preciousness of it. I like the long game. Homicide > The Wire
  • The bullies pop the red balloon, but then many other balloons around the city break free from their owners to circle and comfort the boy. He gathers them together, and they carry him away.

  • JectWon said:I hear people say it means AK-47...but dude pulls out a saw'd-off. Anyone know what it actually means? The way I've always heard it is that the first dude is referring to an AK-47--which would have been a pretty exotic bird on the NY…

  • Yeah, the archival drive of memory is based on a presupposition of loss. We remember things as a way of keeping them. If there's less danger of something going away, we have less motivation to remember it. A little while back I was talking wi…
  • HarveyCanal said:I've never seen a dj work so hard for such a simple segue. He was changing the pitch, bringing it back 15 times over in his headphones the minute leading up to the song change. I was like damn, what kinda crazy thing is he about to …
  • HarveyCanal said:Which is why I don't want to see what the dj is doing. Get back up in the booth where you belong. We're here to listen/dance to music, not to watch a nerd being all technical. I will not dispute your larger point, but at pretty mu…

  • PatrickCrazy said:but how cringe worthy are the "audiences"? The audiences in those videos always strike me as behaving more or less like most people here would behave. Some are into it, some are not, but the majority are just trying to figure out…
  • Well, you know, I initially felt like there was a lot of similarity in the horn/wind parts that kick in after the intros of each track (after the Foster's flute intro and after the Pasadenases' bass intro), and since it's those parts that become the…
  • ppadilha said:did I miss part III? I'm assuming he's counting as Part III the addendum late in the thread for Part II? You know what I like about Rock's stories, he said to no one in particular? They so often have this real bittersweet, aff…
  • I think another factor--along with climate, which is probably the biggie--is that even in its most stripped-down, pick-up-game form, hockey requires a decent amount of equipment (I'm guessing you need, at the very least, some kind of skates, some ki…

  • Right now, at this particular moment, just on some strength, I'm gonna say: Suicide. Twice. Rest in peace, Marty Thau. (In a side note: I mentioned this on here a few years back, but I've long felt that Mount Rushmore fronts…

  • To echo what's been said, that's great story about a remarkable record. I think I first heard part of this one over at Dante's house, but it wasn't until a good while later that I heard the whole thing. I remember being initially disappointe…
  • I have just re-read the original post and realized that none of my examples are really shout outs/shouts out. Sorry.
  • Goodie Mob's "Dirty South": "So when they rolled up bumpin' 'Rock The Bells' / we took what we want and left 'em quiet as hell" Ghostface's "Malcolm," where he talks about dude kicking the jukebox and "It's Yours" comes on. (Note: I suppose i…
