89.3 The Current Update

Decemberists followed by Interpol! This can't be real - no commercials to boot!

Get on it!

89.3 The Current - a service of minnesota public radio!


On the radio a couple of days ago I was sifting around through my presets and was pretty unhappy, so I went surfing. I stopped at a white stripes song and deathcab for cutie followed, what the hell is this? And then, there's like Mary Lucia telling me I'd just heard the White Stripes and Deathcab For Cutie. Well, it's stupendous and fantastic. Anyway, yesterday was like fourty, so I skipped out of work early and bummed around uptown and there were these people (pictured above) - so I was like,"how long y'all been around" and they're like " two days" and I'm like, "I've been listening for two days!" and they're like "cool, have a bumper sticker." So there you have it, so if you're in the twin cities or know someone who is let'em know because any public radio station that plays actual good tunes is actual cool. Posted by Hello

post script Don't be afraid to listen on-line either. Quite a good thing this 89.3 The current.


Went to this cat shelter the other day. I seriously wanted to take half a dozen home with me. It was really and incredible lesson in humanity. There were half a dozen voulenteers taking care of the about fifty cats each and every one with a care remeniscient of a mother with her children. I'm thinking I may voulenteer there.

New Hotness

Yeah, so first, thanks go out to a_ron for the flashy new header, which was really wanting revision anyway.

Right, so, as the e_beth said I really need to change the color of my links, if nothing else, just so I can; anyone got any pointers? I can't seem to find where the link color is specified in the template.

Anyway, after heading back from madison I'm alright here back in the tc - all escapist fantasies aside, because as silver pointed out they are nothing but trouble in the real world and my assertion that escapist fantasies are a mechanism by which we visualize and then actualize real change is a theory that tends to lose all relevance when juxtaposed with being where you are; that is if you get my drift.

Sportscenter Complaint

Alright, so I'm an avid football fan and I watch espn, especially sportscenter with my morning coffee. I like it, but lately during the basketball hightlights the announcers have been using the word "facial" to describe someone gettting dunked on. I'm alright with the word facial and all that it implies, but I'm not alright with it being used as such. I remember when I was like ten and cuss words and naughty words came into popularity among my peer, specifically the phrase, "go suck an egg." Now, at the time, I didn't realize that that phrase meant to go suck your momma's tit or some such nonsense, but regardless, using it as a synonymn for "piss off" was a little embarrassing the first time I used it in front of an adult who asked me what it meant. I fear for the children. Bodily fluid deposition should not be synonomous with playground chatter as it will be if the propogation of this "facial" term becomes commonplace. Additionally, I do buy into the objectification of women through porno thing and the facial in terms of pornography is the apex of what I see as the hierarchtical structure between men and women that pornography portrays and proliferates. The metaphore of an agressor soiling a submissive victim is in no way a progressive or healthy movement in the english language or the way in which sexual relations are pursued between men and women. While the term "facial" may intimate an agressor/victim relationship due to its literary history I would have no issue, for example if the term were used in a neutral context such as a jump ball whereas the meaning of the word would change, but to use it in terms of a situation that entails subjegation is both inappropriate and irresponcible.

In other pseudoerotic news, apparently erotic photo hunt has become the new bartime past time, I'll have to check, but I think I've written a "deposition" regarding that bar/coffee place phenom elsewhere (likely lj). Overall a great time killer though...or something.



ttfn,
Erasmus
