this is pretty great. i never got to see him. got introduced to him (like i imagine most of my peers who weren't deep into the blues game) via the record he did w/ Jon Spencer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLF-f4kUtAw&ab_channel=muzizlife Same. I love the live album he made on the back of that s...

With freedom comes responsibility. Individuals take responsibility for actions.

But so should companies. If you're going to sell someone something that - over time - can harm them, you have a responsibility to let them know.

I doubt anyone can disagree with that?

Hey, boyyourself, the experts agree with you. Now what? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/11/deadly-covid-19-pandemic-is-obscuring-another-obesity/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_opinions&utm_campaign=wp_opinions Now is finally the time for the country which invented...

This is a seemingly fair, balanced and knowledgeable "general interest" (i.e. not overly technical but evidence based) take on the Swedish "experiment" and experience with COVID. https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/swedens-pandemic-experiment?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Daily_04...

Is this going to be worth my time?

I saw the original and it was exceptionally bad. Isnt this just four hours of the same shit?

Donald Trump was probably more right about China than about anything else he turned his attention to during his presidency. But in the end it didn't matter. We will be stuck with the results of his bumbling, incoherent, corrupt and inept attempts at diplomacy for a long time. https://www.nytimes.co...

You very well may be right. Even though statistically they are far more likely to die in a car crash or of something related to obesity. But cars and fat assing food aren’t going anywhere. I know that isn’t an exact apples to apples comparison. But I think this sort of thing is kin to the fear peop...

Calm with Horses Irish gangster movie. Beautifully written and really sensitive performances. Really recommend this one. It's on Netflix (presumably worldwide). Edit: Understand that in the states this has been released as "The Shadow of Violence". https://loudandclearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads...

Much better than the original cut. Still has some major issues but worth the time if you are a fan of the first 2 Godfather films. I always thought III was underrated. It isn't 1 or II but it's still much better than the bulk of gangster movies. And it has some of the best dialogue of the trilogy.

Barring some kind of miraculous speed up of vaccination in Europe, those first shows back definitely won't be over here. Full capacity shows here aren't allowed until 21 June (at the earliest), though socially distanced gigs can happen before. I'd certainly hope all of the DBT shows have sold too w...

Are there not military who don’t want to be there and can’t wait to get to the end? I imagine there are plenty of people who join because they dont see much other option. That seems a bit different to literally not giving someone an option. The volunteer who really needs that job will probably be a...

I wonder how many people in the military would actually like to see National Service? Suspect they'd rather do without having to serve alongside guys who don't really want to be there and can't wait to get to the end of it. Are there not military who don’t want to be there and can’t wait to get to ...

HR people are pretty worthless most of the time.

A truth universally accepted I think.

I'm genuinely now hopeful that we (we as in the western, first world - shit terms but off hand I cant think of others) are going to be mostly out of this before the end of the year. The clever bit has been done. Multiple vaccines created and manufacture in place. The rest is logistics. Figuring out ...

I'm still waiting for your explanation of how either (i) killing hospice patients is not murder or (ii) deaths with covid are materially different from deaths from covid. Ok I'll try. I'll start by asking if anyone else is pissed that cuomo and others have lied about nursing home deaths. Or is it f...

Going by the UK government's latest announcements (well, their guesses...) there looks to be a good chance that the shows DBT have scheduled for the UK in late May/June are going to be amongst the first in the UK after live indoor shows are allowed once again. So, for me it'll hopefully be Leeds on...

Im guessing Jay doesnt contribute any songwriting to DBT because he saves it for his solo work?

Thats a real shame.

Wasn't a massive shock to learn that the Springsteen situation was bullshit. I'm a slightly younger generation. First concert sized rock show I ever went to was in about 1993 ("other band" tour) when I was about 13 (thanks dad) and it was the Boss. Held every rock and roll show against that standard...

The Beer Hall putsch is maybe a better analogy. I don't mind appropriation of Kristallnacht to try and underline how serious last week was. Hopefully it makes people curious and encourages more to read their history. That's no bad thing. One thing we've learned, when people try to shut down debate b...

In a long way, I'm saying the Republican party is an a massive pickle. They can't win without the extra numbers from the Trump-and-only-Trump voters, but as long as Trumpist ideas are out in the open, there's a sizeable portion of their former base that's going to vote for a Democrat president, or ...

The quick answer is that a lot of strong down ballot Republican performance was a result of the Trump base turning out and voting for all R's + lots of traditional R's not voting for Trump in certain places. I've mockingly called it the "Darrell Vote", but I think the reason places like my home sta...

Could be a Perilous Night

Watching the footage from today I kept thinking about the music video for “The New Ok”!

If any of y’all are in DC, stay safe!

While watching I was thinking more "perp walk them down the capitol steps and show them how it feels."

Speechless.
