    Bush picks Wolfowitz for president of World Bank

    i guess i wonder why he's leaving defense rather than why he's being named to the wb.

    More MIA

    i fully understand the anti-maya position, woebot & reynolds make much sense as always, and i guess my position on arular is soft-support. but following on from dubplatestyle, sort of: i always feel a pang of sympathy for the diplo/rupture types, they do look so immediately foolish to ppl who...

    straight edgers on richrd and judy

    <i>Not sure about this.. My impression of most of the DC Hardcore sXe kids I met were that they were almost all wealthy Virginians/Marylanders and children of privilege. Who are "Locals" in DC, anyway? it's pretty much an area of extreme privilege and extreme poverty with not a lot of middle...

    straight edgers on richrd and judy

    blogpost linked to upthread is great, never heard of Youth of Today. very very very funny. interesting to read a uk perspective on this stuff, since some acquaintance with "sXe" is part of a young white american male's education on all things punk, and it's crass that's the wierd thing from...

    Software

    i've been messing about with FLstudio for a while; I like it quite a bit but people who do their thing on "real" software will scoff at you, be warned. It runs all BuzzMachines, which is great; a lot of those things are fantasic. And I don't trust some of the FL instruments, for some reason...

    Stop Bolkestein

    "but I dread to think of what would happen if the State decides to withdraw from the health, education, culture or social security/insurance sectors, as Mr Bolkestein and others propose." well for all save education (sorta) and social security, look to the US. And I don't mean that as "LOOK...

    Cheerleading music

    well i guess there is the let's say experiential aspect to think about. much like recent assertions that the rave influence on crunk isn't direct but a more mediated function of producers fucking about with the "rave" presets on their tritons or whatever --> most musical education takes place...

    wonderful graffiti

    where would you get a hold of a usps label in the uk?? certainly adds another layer to the (imagined) story. great great stuff in any case.

    American Power

    one thing right away: i need to find it again (hang on) but i read a comparison of the iraq invasion with an imagined rwanda intervention that contended that iraq was by far the easiest country on earth to invade; i think this was meant to have a chilling effect on any iran-talk. Iraq: lots of...

    Is the failure of New Labour tilting Britain to the Left or Right?

    what's wierd to me is how New Labour is like the nth "3rd Way" to be floated by left-of-center parties since the end of cold war. I mean, as I was taught, Social Democracy itself (as imagined by TH Marshall, i think it was?) was the o.g. 3rd way, meant to have the dynamism, growth, fluidity etc...

    Journalists you trust/admire/respect etc

    I've never really liked Friedman, he seems to cut too many corners, but I've never read any of his books either. It's probably useless to non-Americans, but check the Note, abcnews.com's daily political roundup (headed by Mark Helprin but written by committee). It is, if nothing else, a daily...

    Music you are exposed to involuntarily.

    semi-involuntary: i do most of my work in a coffeeshop in my old neighborhood in mpls near the art school. they have about 6 records and that's IT, it's like a timewarp into 1997: dj shadow, palace, blonde redhead, one of those johnny cash/rick rubin deals, etc. at this point i don't think i...
