  1. I think a start would be to find a dem leader who isn't equally in the industry pocket to the republican leaders. I'd love to find a person who's clean that way because of their ethics (Warren?), but I think we need to change the rules. Cory Booker recently broke my heart by pissing on a bill that would have brought sick people cheaper Canadian meds. Big pharma had lobby fingers all over the house.
  2. How much did he have to pay Iha and D'arcy to put up with his shit?
  3. Smashing Pumpkins Rocket Mayonnaise Siva 1979 Muzzle
  4. Hello Hawk Unbelievable Things Late Century Dream I Hate Music Learned to Surf
  5. Which is sweet irony because Bruce has said quite clearly that he has a lot of contempt for Trump.
  6. I love the live, full band, "acoustic" version of Spiders. It's too bad there isn't a studio version like that.
  7. I keep trying to see this from new angles, aside from my progressive outrage. How's this: From a pure political animal standpoint, as in "how the game is played", "political capital", "image crafting", every way of looking at politics as sport and not ideology Trump is in an unusually awful place. Even if only half of the shit actually sticks, he has more stink on him than any other president at inauguration I can recall which include HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush and Obama. History will look back with curiosity at a figure that was almost sunk by controversy before even beginning.
  8. I'm with you. Whether it happened or not, I don't think his critics should focus on it. There are so many things of greater consequence that he needs to answer for. We already heard him boast of sexual assault, how would gossip about some kink do anything anyhow?
  9. I think some of what you're saying here is fair. I'm also a fan of late night comedy TV, and I also dislike when they do a Trump story that isn't particularly pertinent, or insightful.... because "that's just what we're doing these days". But I also think we should be engaged, and vigilant, not merely wait 4 years. I think if we look at what real conservatism means- limiting the power of government, stopping corruption, increasing transparency, as well as what real progressivism means- preventing the very rich from rigging the system to benefit themselves, while trying to give the poor an op
  10. It's a new shift in our political landscape. We are now cool with Russia, but have some serious tensions with SNL, the FBI, the CIA and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sanctions may be necessary.
  11. Do you have any feelings about why Russia wanted him to win?
  12. Ooops. Kevin and I grabbed the same little summary of garbage going on. Sorry Kevin. I saw it and felt a powerful need to share it here, before I read the latest posts. I'll leave it on so we can all read it twice.... and.... really... let.... this... sink.... in. Blurrgh!
  13. Here's a detailed rundown of our week in American politics: 1/7/17 The federal week in review: 1. Trump fires all Ambassadors and Special Envoys, ordering them out by inauguration day. 2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce an individual civil service, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State. 3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with Trump's first press c
  14. There is some old mythology about the importance of starting on acoustic... it's just not true. The most important piece is which one he'll connect with and will motivate him. The electric is a little easier on the fingers, but blisters will be a hurdle either way. Electric also requires an amp. If I were trying to help a kid figure out if they cared about playing guitar, I'd probably get them a Yamaha acoustic (probably around $100, even cheaper used on craigslist if you have someone who plays to tell you if it's a playable instrument), or a Squire Stratocaster electric, or perhaps an Epi
  15. That would be rad. They are going on tour, if that's any indication.
  16. Totally. Real Emotional Trash has the best expressive, fuzzy, noodling on it. I need to check out the older Jicks stuff. I only know this one, Jag Bags, and Mirror Traffic.
  17. Perhaps his post Pavement peak (ppp)?
  18. I always wonder the real source of his rage against McCartney. How Do You Sleep is brutal.
  19. Holy shit! He's actually serious about the wall? He should probably go down and look at the build site before he gets some bids from contractors. There are some mountains and privately owned land that might make the project a little tricky.
  20. He's pretty much a winner to me in every direction he goes. Wow has all of the components of a song I'd hate and yet for some reason I love it.
  21. Do you think the new Beck will all sound like the "Wow" single?
  22. Looks more likely that we'll see new Tweedy material judging from the Loft's Facebook page.
