TRex, I think you will like this. Bush idiocy.

Oldest girl luuuves Abba. I would hear it over and over and over… luckily many years have passed and it is now palatable.

nice happy dance, alias

I went through a particularly egregious ABBA phase. Then I turned 13 and started listening to Soft Cell and Blondie. As an adult, I’ve never been able to give in to the ABBA hip cool irony thing. Too many painful memories of puberty.

Wow… they even got somebody with Condiesque teeth. That’s good casting.

Awesome Video, TRex!!!

Night, everyone. The best of all possible tomorrows to you.

For me, it brings back memories of a great time as an exchange student in Germany. The friends, the beer, the dancing . . . priceless.

TRex, her dad took her to see the musical (i forget the name but it features ABBA songs) – twas the day ABBA returned to her playlist.

I practiced considerable restraint, yes. Was easier than with baby girl’s love of hiphop and gangsta rap (she was going through the worst music phase ever)

That is worse. Much, MUCH worse.

I am in Mexico a few months every winter.

I go to a funky restaurant in a relatively small town that serves “continental” cuisine…lasagna, thai coconut shrimp, shepard’s pie, etc. It has the best blasted pork tacos (with pine nuts) on the face of the planet.

It only plays ABBA as background music. I was shocked to find out that I could sing along with every song had I wanted to. Even more shocked to find out my husband LOVED them.

Oh gods. My younger brother never grew out of that phase. That’s one of the few genre of music i really have no taste for whatsoever. There’s only a couple of artists in it that are even worth listening to, and none of them record much today. (i’m 29, the younger bro is now 24)

I really loved the ABBA videos, the girls dressed so . . .’70s, if ya know what I mean.

Suzanne @ 22

I practiced considerable restraint, yes. Was easier than with baby girl’s love of hiphop and gangsta rap (she was going through the worst music phase ever)

I was born too soon. All I had to rebel with was jazz and early RR/RB/B. My mom and dad did classical, but dad loved jazz too, and mom thought RB would be the next wave after the crooners. GHOD I’m dating myself.

Question is: how did you deal with all the negatives of HH/GR? Fortunately my kids were adults when that genre appeared (mom used to love telling her friends “tell them it is just african and aboriginal tribal chanting with electronics and urban metaphors” and playing some old recordings of same to prove it!) and my grandkids don’t seem interested (they’re into emo and thirteen other cool names totally undechipherable to anyone over the age of 12).

Stem Cell Research

Wash. Post article on Bush stem cell plan ignored scientists’ support for bill Bush vetoed
In a June 20 article, The Washington Post reported that President Bush, upon vetoing a bill to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, “plans to issue an executive order today to encourage government agencies to support research that offers the promise of creating medically useful stem cells without destroying human embryos.” But the article did not report — as the Post itself did on June 7 — that some of the scientists involved in one of the research methods Bush is touting as an alternative to embryonic stem cell research have themselves called for passage of the bill Bush just vetoed, which, as the Post reported on June 7, “would give federally funded researchers access to embryos slated for destruction at fertility clinics.” Read more

Abba sucks, in both directions. Sorry, it had to be said.

I hear quite a bit of (mostly jazzy and/or trancy) hip-hop via punaise jr. and I like much of it. the lyrics on occasion do give pause, however…

I tried to get my brother interested in movies other than those affiliated with the Gangsta Rap/HipHop culture, and a few bands. The fact that he’s ‘borrowed’ a few of my CDs that are nowhere close to those genre means i made some type of influence. He just couldn’t get it totally out of his system. He STILL loves it. *facepalms*

I was the cool big sister that took him to all the neat movies and such. Even if i was a bookworm mosta the time, i wouldn’t miss the flicks i thought worth watching. He’d get dragged along if i thought he could be interested in it. (and usually i could get him to be)

Most of the electric music posted here doesn’t interest me, although I loved the Beatles and a lot of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, any band that Linda Ronstadt sang with, all of Emmylou Harris from her early days with Graham Parsons up to but not including her Flyboy phase, and classic rock like that (which is sometimes considered country now.)

they were very good at what they did and made a huge pile of money. they never said they were cutting edge or radical or “alternative”. they didn’t try to act cool. nobody took them seriously but they were mindless fun. like the scandinavians often do, they also indulged in a bit of spoof and mild irony.

ohmystars, pun, i’m officially, certifiably old. i did not recognize a single artist or song.

Don’t worry Ma’am, my eldest only recognized half of the ‘artists’ on pun jr’s list!!! I recognized one!!!

Hey Patrex, besides tired, how ya been? How was the gig?

ohmystars, pun, i’m officially, certifiably old. i did not recognize a single artist or song.

I can’t even tell which column is the artists and which is the song titles.

Doh!!! Bwhahaha… I’m with ya on that!!!

Excellent, one of the best clips I’ve seen….

Great ending too—-

Thanks—-

Someone with me also vouches for Del the Funky Homosapien.

Las Orishas es un grupo de rap de Cuba, y muy bueno.

I can’t hear them without craving black beans and yuca frita, though. There was a Cuban place in Chicago that played them ALL THE TIME when we were there.

Good times.

Hey Patrex, besides tired, how ya been? How was the gig?

Busy. I’m always busy. My wife’s theatre company is hauling in rave reviews for her staging of ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ and I wrote all the music for it.

The studio is busy. My band is playing lots of shows. Busy, busy.

I may have some very big news brewing. Nothing I can talk about yet, but I may be visiting some firepups here in the next few weeks. I’ll keep everyone posted.

De La Soul is great.

Oh, and the gig kind of sucked, Suzanne. Last weekend I used a different brand of sticks, with a different, higher friction finish on them. This raised a massive blister on my right thumb, which burst, and another blister came up under that, and then also burst. Then, the next day the skin underneath split while I was playing, because it’s too new and not flexible yet.

There are more details, but I’ll spare you. It stings a little and it makes it VERY hard to control the stick in my right hand.

Kind of wish we had Tim Hortons here right now. I could go for a Timmyho’s sour cream donut right about now.

The Abba video was one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen. It was well done, and started out quite funny but was rather serious by the end.

Thanks for posting it, Trex. And I forgive you for the earworm. :)

OK, time to offer up my new true musical love, Aussie hip-hop outfit The Herd. Not much of theirs on U-Tube but here’s their attempt at radio-friendly music:

If you’re sick and tired
Of the news reports
And your modern-day life
Is a blues of sorts
Put your hands in the air
Put your Walkman on
Put this goddam song on
And sing along
It goes ….

They’re awfully busy right now, I know that much.

No, what’s brewing right now is…. another thing entirely.

And my involvement unfortunately hinges on the personal tragedy of another drummer, so I am a little hesitant to put too much emotional energy into hoping I will get the gig.

Oh, and the gig kind of sucked, Suzanne. Last weekend I used a different brand of sticks, with a different, higher friction finish on them. This raised a massive blister on my right thumb, which burst, and another blister came up under that, and then also burst. Then, the next day the skin underneath split while I was playing, because it’s too new and not flexible yet.

There are more details, but I’ll spare you. It stings a little and it makes it VERY hard to control the stick in my right hand.

Tincture of Benzoin is your friend– but you gotta apply it the day before your gig. It won’t do any good to apply it after the damage is done.

After the excellent commentary by Glenn Greenwald, Christy, Bob
Somerby, Phoenix Woman, and others, I shouldn’t write anything about
Richard Cohen’s barfucious WaPo op-ed of Tuesday morning. But …

At the 1999 dedication ceremony for the George Bush Center for
Intelligence, former president George H.W. Bush stated:

I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust
by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most
insidious of traitors.

When Valerie Plame Wilson was exposed as a covert operative working to
counter the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the CIA asked the DOJ to
conduct a criminal investigation. The DOJ tasked FBI to investigate, and
then appointed a Special Prosecutor. And, President George W. Bush
promised to fire anyone involved in the leak. Serious business!

But, WaPo pundit Richard Cohen thinks that leaking the names of CIA
operatives is “run-of-the-mill,” not a crime, obstructing an
investigation the possibility of such a crime doesn’t warrant a
guideline sentence, and doesn’t warrant such an investigation in the
first place.

[The Special Prosecutor] was appointed to look into a
run-of-the-mill leak … the underlying crime is absent, the
sentence is excessive and the investigation should not have been
conducted in the first place. [Richard Cohen, WaPo, 6/19/07]

And, he has regurgitated these RNC talking points so often he can now
cram them all into 35 words. If brevity were the soul of wit, Richard
Cohen would be the funniest man alive. But he’s not at all funny.

To Cohen, these and similar RNC talking points are conditioned
reflexes. Neither reality nor refutation will pull him off message.
He’s a neocon warrior and a sociopath. He’s not a person of good
will; otherwise, the tenth or twenthieth time someone refuted these
talking points, he’d defend them or STFU.

Great, I’d love to. I emailed a reminder to our friend in his office today. Suz, can you give Sunny my address when the servers return?

Mike Malloy was talking about a local production of Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight. He’s in Georgia, near Atlanta. I only caught part of his show, but could he have been talking about your show?

WHAT?!??

Really? is there a link to this?

My lovely and talented wife would be SO THRILLED. I am googling to find out who else is doing Midsummer in Georgia right now.

The podcasts of his show is available by paid subscription at Nova M but I haven’t joined. Sorry! He was going on about how wonderful the production was so I really hope it was yours he was talking about. It was tonight, during the 2nd hour od the show.

well suzi will translate that for a person who speaks stars only

Suz, translation please …

already done, petrocelli

Wow. Looks like I got the Toots I wanted from CD Universe. (Never heard of them before) It’s the original cover with Japanese writing all over it. $20.00 including shipping.

I started a new topic at FDL Facebook, in case anyone jumps over there.

Thanks, Steve. I’m wondering if they pulled it off without us even noticing. Of course, as soon as I say that…

Steve, how do you get to FDL facebook? I’m on facebook, but…

Good question, since I was invited. Can you search groups for firedoglake?

Loohoo, go to my page, click on FIREDOGLAKE group (if you haven’t joined that group already) and then to discussion

Suzanne @ 220

The translation is already done?
Sorry Suz, I’m not following you … I’ll wait until the updates are complete.

Petro, I emailed spidey your email – she was unable to deciper the spamproofing.

One can join the FireDogLake group without an invitation. I just clicked on join this group, iirc.

I read nothing but SciFi for years, starting in the ’50s, but eventually burned out. And Heinlein was such a lech that after High School or so, he started creeping me out. And just too libertarian in re: government.

Not bad, I’ve read quite a few of his, one thing for certain, I’d rather read the book than watch the movie!

Soldier in Iraq Resists the Occupation

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/23812

Submitted by davidswanson on Wed, 2007-06-20 21:40. Nonviolent Resistance

On June 19, 26 year old SPC Eli Israel put himself at great personal risk by making the courageous decision to refuse further participation in the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Eli told his commanding officer and sergeants that he will no longer be a combatant in this illegal, unjustified war. Eli believes that the U.S. government used the attacks of September 11, 2001 as a pretense to invade Iraq and that “we are now violating the people of this country (Iraq) in ways that we would never accept on our own soil.” Eli is stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad with JVB Bravo Company, 1-149 Infantry of the Kentucky Army National Guard. This soldier’s decision to refuse orders puts him at great risk, especially because he is in Iraq, isolated from legal assistance and other support. The following is a message that Eli sent yesterday to a friend back home:

“I have told them that I will no longer play a ‘combat role’ in this conflict or ‘protect corporate representatives,’ and they have taken this as ‘violating a direct order.’ I may be in jail or worse in the next 24 hours.

Please rally whoever you can, call whoever you can, bring as much attention to this as you can. I have no doubt that the military will bury me and hide the whole situation if they can. I’m in big trouble. I’m in the middle of Iraq, surrounded by people who are not on my side. Please help me. Please contact whoever you can, and tell them who I am, so I don’t ‘disappear.’”

Eli is taking an incredible risk by refusing orders in Iraq and will most likely be court martialed. Please help him by contacting his Senator and requesting that he take any steps necessary to support and protect this soldier and ensure that the Army respects his rights and does not illegally retaliate against him.

es it make a difference to you that he is National Guard, and not actual Army/Marine?

Does the US have a history of using National Guard members in overseas combat zones?

Was there a vid of Curbing the Imperial Presidency from TBA?

The birds are chripin on this cool Geogria mornin.

Good Morning, Firepups [waves to raven]

It’s cool and clear here in central Jersey. Mr. NJP and I saw the shuttle and the space station zip across the cloudless sky last night, just as it was getting dark.

There’s a big pitcher of iced coffee in the fridge. I’m heading out for bagels this morning.

Work for peace, every day.

Hey T,

It’s morning now, I hope you will see this comment.

I enjoyed “Waterloo”. I could understand some of the lyrics. Most Utube lyics are completely lost for me.

My 72 year old ears have not been able to catch popular song lyrics for a long time now. The instrumental buries the vocal for me.

Up to now it didn’t seem important beyond the loss to me and others of the enjoyment of the music itself.

Now it IS IMPORTANT. Because I couldn’t hear it, I didn’t realize that popular music is quite political.

NOW there is so much that is important that is coming on utube and related vocal media via the liberal blogs and other toobs.

I don’t want other older folks as well as the hearing impaired to miss out on this. We need us ALL in this progressive chance we now have before us.

Is there some way we could have subtitles?

Thanks,

Joel Mael

morning! – big hearing day today:

12 pm – House Judiciary – Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law
Hearing on: The Continuing Investigation into the U.S. Attorneys Controversy and Related Matters
Witness: Paul McNulty

2 pm – Senate Judiciary
To hold an oversight hearing to examine the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.

more here.

Good morning, pups. Today in the NYT Timothy Egan says Republicans are losing the American West, where people want a rational middle ground on immigration rather than foaming xenophobia, and Nicholas Kristof again directs our attention to eastern Congo.

http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/

The coffee and tea are ready, along with a selection of muffins. Have a wonderful day.

Good morning, pups. Forgive me if this is a repeat, but my first attempt seems to have been swallowed by the cybertoobz or is in moderation for some bizarre reason. The NYT has Egan and Kristof.

http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/

Help yourselves to coffee, tea and muffins, and have a lovely day.

Good morning!

Financial tip for the day: Never invest in something that has
both “High Grade” and “Enhanced” in its name.

Mornin’ all!

Scarborough saying leftwing Dems booing Hillary’s support of the troops. Going on a nasty screed. As for me, I’m going to puke now.

Personal observation:
The (anti) immigration (immigrant) issue plays strongest the furthest from actual contact with recent immigrants.
This is not an absolute.
Xenophobia thrives in close proximity, but the actual desire to see ‘them all deported tommorow’ in general plays best where you cannot see the families.
Personal example:
I live in a community with a large number of recent Polish immigrants.
The mesh is far from seamless.
I do not appreciate the drunk cousins/friends who reside short term in one particular house up the block.
Some of my neighbors’ difficulty in communicating may be due to lack of a common language, some may be due to plain surliness.
I don’t know.
But they are a family, doing their best to fix up a disastrous property and raise their kids.
My own problems (and theirs) dealing with differences have no place in the debate.
Working through those issues is how this country became great.

Now Ingrahm chiming in with Scarborough.

Good mornin’, CNN!!!!!

Go to late,late nite last Friday night. Comment #266 had a link for captioning. Haven’t done anything with it yet. Waiting to show it to my son who’s more tech-savvy. But it should help. If not, ask your question again. There are geniuses here at FDL. *g*

Did you hear him mock Jimmy Carter’s Nobel Peace Prize. We’ve got a Steve Doocy wannabe on MSNBC. I think he’s trying to be a shock-jock. And they have someone very weak presenting our side. What a shame. I miss Imus.

Is Joe trying to hurt Hilary in the polls by talking about her most unpopular postion? He can’t expect the 30%ers to be won over to Hilary by attacking US Lefties. However if Hilary starts sinking in the polls because of this issue then where does that leave the Republican Presidential candidates who are almost all prowar. If Hilary’s (cough) moderate postion hurts her then the Republicans if they want to have any chance of wining at all will have to abandone Bush. Who will be the first to realize this or are they all going to go down with the ship? When are we going to see some ratings about how well Joe is doing at trying to replace Imus? I just can’t see him doing well in his new job.

What I really don’t get is what audience is Joe trying for? The Fox News audience? My daughter watches CNN in the morn. But is disgusted with John Roberts (truly a less than brilliant person). Way back, I kept trying to get her to watch Imus. He advanced many progressive causes. And NEVER blew smoke. He may have been an ass but he never lied. She wouldn’t watch him. I get that. But now, I may not turn on the TV in the morn.

Time to shower. See everyone at noon.

Washington Journal caller on the ‘Democrat line’ is a life-long Democrat, hates Bill Clinton and wants Bloomburg to run. The only Republican she likes is Mitt Romney.

Hi Everyone, Alfred K recommended that we download the latest patches for our browsers. I did it and now my ability to scroll using my finger on the touchpad has been taken away. I downloaded Firefox 2.0 onto a PC using Vista. Any ideas?

spiderpaws @ 88

…not to sound like a kiljoy but…the motion for Libby’s appeal was filed with a retrograde Mercury at 11* Cancer. No one in astrological circles would ever do such a stupid thing…it is a recipe for failure. Never file papers, initiate legal proceedings, take apart your computer, get married, book reservations for your vacation or start anything of any inportance during a retrograde mercury. Just not a good idea. His attorneys will no doubt hear on and after the 10th of July that the appeal has been denied.

Hope you’re right. The 10th of July is my birthday, and what a present that would be!!

Too frivolous for Scarecrow’s column, but I gotta note here.

John Roberts must be the Ted Baxter hire at CNN.

Brilliant! Thank you for passing it on despite the inherent risk.

Hip-hop / Rap / Gangsta Rap is our generation’s protest music. I would wager that a good amount of your parents did not appreciate rock and roll, despite living through it’s golden age. What I wouldn’t give to see Janis or Jimi live.

My mom loves it, btw (Age 59). Just don’t take it too seriously.

Love the song! We can now sing the song now that Libby lost in the U.S. Court of Appeal filed yesterday. Scooter is heading to the slammer!
