Musician and producer Bryan Loren has died, probably best known for 'We'll Be Together' (Sting) and 'Do the Bartman', but this may be his best record: '(Baby Tell Me) Can You Dance', a hit for teen singer Shanice Wilson in 1987 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkNR...

"the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women"--Noam Chomsky
emily.gorcen.ski Emily Gorcenski @emily.gorcen.ski · 1d
Cool thoughts from Noam Chomsky
From: Matthew Hiltzik < To: J <jeevacation@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Thoughts from Chomsky Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 23:34:06 +0000 I think that is wise Sent from my iPhone On Feb 23, 2019, at 4:19 PM, J < jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote: Ive watched the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public. It's painful to say, but I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it. I've had plenty of experience, though of course not on this scale. A google search will bring up tons of hysterical accusations of all sorts, even groups devoted to vilifying me. I pay no attention, unless I'm approached for a comment on a specific matter. It's a nuisance, but it's the best way. The same conclusions from experiences of others, in some cases close friends. What the vultures dearly want is a public response, which then provides a public opening for an onslaught of venomous attacks, many from just publicity seekers or cranks of all sorts -- which are impossible to answer (how do you prove that you are not a neo-Nazi who wants to kill the Jews, or a rapist, or whatever charge comes along?). That's particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder. For virtually everyone who sees any of this, the reaction will be "where there's smoke there's fire, maybe raging fire" (whatever the facts, which few will even think of investigating). In general, it's best I think not to react unless directly questioned, particularly in the current mood -- which, I presume, will fade away, even if not in time to prevent much torture and distress.

It is quite funny that younger people get told by my generation that the Nineties was all Britpop (or perhaps Grunge in the US), but if you actually look at the British charts, it's mostly dance records made in Italy and the Netherlands.

Great piece of writing about a song I had never given much thought. And glad I never started with alcohol. The guitar solo indeed sounds like a yelping dog.

And ofc the most significant "protest music" of the MPLS crisis is the callithumpian racket being kicked up by citizens themselves in the streets—alerting neighbors to the presence of Trump's thugs w/whistles & raising hell outside ICE agents' hotels w/drums, sticks, pots, pans, sirens, chants, etc.

Reasonable case could be made that Sly Dunbar is the greatest studio musician of all-time. Like since the invention of recorded sound.
Sly Dunbar, reggae drummer and producer with Sly and Robbie, dies aged 73

My fav new album this week is The Sgidonologist2 by the young South African producer Djy Ora. Showing great progress since his debut album (last September!) and working closely with the duo M&N Projects, he represents the harder edge of amapiano to great effect. music.apple.com/nl/album/the...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military:

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
