Disturbing Events

[rejectomorph]

I'm curious as to how LJ became involved in pimping an 18-19 year old user to MSNBC. Does Frank get a hummer from Rita Cosby in exchange for this favor? Somebody ought to get something. Just getting LJ mentioned on a crappy cable horrornews show wouldn't be worth it. In fact, I think that Brad ought to be willing to hump Rita Cosby in order to prevent her from making any mention of LJ on MSNBC. Yes, I know it would be an awful experience for him, but we'd appreciate the sacrifice.

In other news, new neighbor listens to Green Day. He played an entire album while raking his yard. In his favor, he does use an actual rake and not a leaf blower. I need to get out my actual rake, too. The lawn has vanished under a golden carpet of mulberry leaves. If I had a pair of big speakers, I could play something for new neighbor while uncovering my lawn. Perhaps a nice mix of Ute Lemper's German art songs, Coltrane, and NIN, topped with a bit of Kreisler and a Mariachi piece or two. That would freak him good.

yes! and scary jodelling musik usually drives the point home, too

Ah, but the jodelling would scare me, too, even if I was the one playing it!

well. touché.

also sometimes I think that people who listen to kinda horrendous music aren't that sensitive in the first place to offensive sounds, so fighting back with music isn't going to work. Maybe fight with fragrance, instead! Doesn't Britney have a perfume? yeah!

Funny you should bring this up. I'm having beans for dinner.

I'm not really all that offended by Green Day, though. As a background noise, it's far from the worst, and even manages to provoke a bit of nostalgia for me. I think of it as being a bit like crappy '60s bubble gum rock, if the bubble gum had some dirt and oil in it. I can live with that. And their little goth hobbit punk lead singer is sort of engaging in his own way. He's like Butthead's smarter older brother. I'd be much more offended if I had to listen to something like those whiny New Country songs, or screechy modern R&B joddelers.

Unfortunately, our agents have uncovered the truth: The answer is "yes".

Oh I love mariachi. Yes, in part because nobody else does. (Well obviously lots of people do but not around here.)

[rejectomorph]

I heard a lot of Mariachis when I was a kid, first due to my mom being a fan of it, and then due to living in Los Angeles, where it was required by law that no place of business could hold a grand opening without having a Mariachi band perform (followed by the latest incarnation of The Sons of the Pioneers, and some guys with steel guitars pretending to be Hawaiians.) In fact, the very first song I ever learned to recognize was Cielito Lindo. I still enjoy most forms of Mexican music.

You can DJ my next party!

I think I've got some nice ambient trance music tucked away somewhere, too, which would go nicely sandwiched between Eubie Blake's piano roll of "Don't Tell Your Monkey Man" and the Bachianas Brasileiras #5. Either that, or Patsy Cline's version of "Blue Moon of Kentucky."

I'm an 18 year old blogger. I'm the authentic 18 year old LJ blogger... that is to say I'm a 41 year-old fat white guy. GET WITH IT, MSNBC. DIS HERE IS THE INTERNETS. YOUR OLD RULZ DON'T APPLY. If I you want me to be 18 I am 18. Scree!

I'd go for it myself, were it not for the fact that it might damage my cred as a 34 year old Asian lesbian poet.

You must do this thing.

I shall assail him with the waltzes of Strauss, the marches of Sousa, and the chants of the Gyuto monks!

And than I'll ask to borrow his Green Day album, and return the case after switching the CD with Rusty Warren's Bounce Your Boobies.

Green Day is simple, but it's politically correct, at least, lately. (Not so much earlier on.)
