She’s coming out with a 30th anniversary edition of “Mommie Dearest,” the 1978 tell-all in which she trashed the Hollywood legend as an abusive parent who beat her with a wire coat hanger. The original book was turned into a campy movie starring Faye Dunaway. The new version will include eyewitness accounts of the dysfunctional [...]
Every Friday around noon Peter King calls into WEEI and talks with the Dale and Holley show. For those of you living outside Massachusetts the D&H show is sandwiched between two insufferable conservatives talking shit about the state and it's governor, and four insufferable fat guys talking out of both sides of their asses about the Patriots and Red Sox. In other words it's the only thing on EEI that a normal person can listen to without contemplating suicide five times an hour. So King is on the station right now talking about - what else - CameraGate. Don't be fooled into thinking that it was one passing remark, Peter King isn't talking about anything other then CameraGate and it's Week 6 of the NFL season. What does King want? I mean he obviously is not letting this thing with Belichick go. He's obviously going around to everyone who will talk to him about what the Patriots did and how awful Roger Goodell has handled the situation. Even today Wade Phillips had to come out and
We've chronicled before just how vital a role "killer instinct" plays in any playoff contender's stretch run. At this point, it's almost laughable to suggest that any team without it might have a chance of playing in October; that's how far we've come. Yet, as much as we've done to counteract old, tired cliches about winning being a result of talent, mixed, perhaps, with a little luck, we grudgingly tip our caps to Newsday's Wallace Matthews, who can truthfully claim to have done more than any other member of the media to advance the notion that success depends entirely on desire. In fact, this idea means so much to Wallace that he's pretty much given up on writing about anything else. Here are the titles of 3 of his 5 most recent columns:Mets' lack of killer instinct vs. Phils: deadlyLack of killer instinct could hurt MetsThese Mets lack a killer instinctHad enough? If not, keep checking this space for more breaking killer instinct-related news.
Sometimes I wish for less information or a mythical service to block the bulk of the ads and seemingly pointless (yes, I realize that this is a personal judgment) information on the internet. When I see a news story on Yahoo!'s homepage telling me that "Gato Del Sol, the winner of the 1982 Kentucky Derby and the second-oldest living Derby winner, died at 28," I have to wonder why they couldn't have found seven more important news stories to include. I don't even think my sister, who grew up riding horses, would care about this one. I think one of the important tasks facing the church is to resist our culture of excess which seemingly makes it difficult to care and to celebrate. If celebration already involves by its nature a notion of excess, how does one celebrate - whether birthdays, weddings, or the eucharist - if one is already saturated with excess? Does constantly being dialed into the system (you know: the iPod playing, DVR, internet surfing, Netflix waiting in the mailb
So yesterday was fun wasn’t it? I love taking a simple idea and mangling it. Feeding your children healthy food? Fuck that!
I stand by what I said. Nothing is impossible. I’m not going to argue back and forth about how poor I once was, over the fact that I could do it if I was faced with it, and how I could do it better. Anyone in any situation has the power to change their situation. Period. If you honestly believe you can’t, you’re an idiot so please do me a big favor and hit the little red X at your top right. Please. If the only thing you’re good at is arguing, go into politics.
Having said that, I know I’m not aware of every policy and social program in the States. I KNOW. I said, about 6 bazillion times yesterday that I don’t have all the answers. Sue me.
Something really pissed me off about yesterday is that I got criticized for linking to VA for what? Attention? Are you serious? High school called, they want their socia
On the heels of last years excellent “So This Is Goodbye” album, Junior Boys are back with five remixes of tracks from that album, arriving just in time to coincide with springtime tour. It was bound to happen, with a couple nice remixes finding their way onto a bonus disc of their first release “Last [...]
For me Uttar Pradesh elections are no more for Congress party. Its a very tough task for Congress to take a comeback in UP where bullets are more effective than ballot. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi can pull mammoth crowd but how many will turn into vote bank is still a question. But crowd during Sonia Gandhi rally is also a nightmare for other parties. Prime Minister is also going to hit trail in UP and road shows of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi is also going on.Our Prince Mr. Rahul Gandhi is framing charges against Mulayam Government but I personally believe that Mulayam did a good job as a CM except some flaws due to center and state coordination, one example is still alive and that is state transport between UP and Delhi is still on halt due to some big ego problem with State Transport Minister of Delhi Mr. Haroon Yusuf. Whatever Mulayam has done for Uttar Pradesh is good but young blood like Rahul Gadhi can create some good environment in our sick politics. Few years back Mulay
Based on the critical acclaim of their 2006 LP So This Is Goodbye the Canadian electro-pop duo Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark, aka Junior Boys, will release an EP of remixes through Domino Records in April.
Titled "Dead Horse," the EP brings together five artists from completely different fields and musical backgrounds to get their hands at some of the stand out tracks from the duo's second album.
London-based formation Hot Chip contribute to the EP by reworking "In the Morning" alongside Detroit techno legend Carl Craig who provides his reinterpretation of "Like A Child". Other names include U.K. dubstep producer and Hyperdub label founder Kode9, ambient wunderkind Marsen Jules (aka Martin Juhls), as well as Tensnake (aka Marco Niemerski) of German techno outfit Arp Aubert.Continue reading "Junior Boys get remixed on Dead Horse EP">
Not to beat a dead horse, but I just wanted to share a few more charts that I believe further debunk the myth being promoted by Barron's and over at The Big Picture that the bullish "Goldilocks" aka "Soft Landing" theme, that is increasingly showing up in the MSM, has been fully discounted by the stock market.
In order to be fully discounted, one would expect that these themes to have been
