Make that a 3. By my reading the statute would have banned Bambi Meets Godzilla, and Alito would just have read an "animated violence" exception just to save it from overbreadth.

O.K., I was swayed a bit by emotions, and as soon as I posted that, I quickly came up with ten other songs that would edge it out. But it is a song I always come back to when I think of the power of a couple of turntables and an MC. It is the opposite of auto-tuned, hyper-produced songs with soaring diva vocals and fake strings swelling in the background, and I love it for that.

Re: R.I.P. Guru
 

have you given gregorian chants a chance?

Re: R.I.P. Guru
 

Not so much, but I enjoy the Gyoto Monks when the mood is right (ot-pay ;);)). I am not against hyper-produced. Public Enemy was hyper-produced. But Gang Starr was a testament to the fact that you don't need to be hyper-produced to create great music. I realize that my Guru tribute is becoming more of a Premier tribute, which is ironic given the unkind things Guru apparently said on his death bed. Anyway, shouldn't you be inebriated and listening to Jawbreaker by now?

Re: R.I.P. Guru
 

I'm with you. But most of the stuff I listen to is from that era or before, so I'm becoming one of those old coots who talks about how kids don't know a thing about hip hop these days.

Video of Tim Gunn critiquing comic book hero costumes.

Presumably it would have made the dog-fighting scene in The Wire illegal.

But not the rape scene in The Sopranos. Go figure.

Re: Another British Tot
 

I'd have guessed it was what the Fugee Cats say when I come home.

But it is a specifically British name for this drug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephedrone

He should not travel to michigan.

Re: Another British Tot
 

Huh.

I found this interesting in that article - "Criminologists also believe that the emergence of mephedrone is related to the decreasing purity of ecstasy and cocaine on sale in the UK, with average cocaine purity falling to 22% in 2009 (from 60% in 1999) and about half of ecstasy pills seized in 2009 containing no MDMA."

Is she on a soap?

I was up at 3am (after a night of way too much beer) chasing a mouse around my bedroom, that had gotten in from the backyard yesterday.

In light of that experience, I'm rethinking my position on crush videos.
