[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAEFIaiqHc0]Coentrao went to the bench - YouTube[/ame] msn: Coentrao took his place on the Real Madrid bench for the match against Espanyol, and on most days, there would be nothing unusual with that. But on Saturday, he wasn’t in the match-day squad. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas gives Coentrao a double take, but even after he explains the situation to the Portugal defender it just doesn’t seem to sink in that he is not supposed to be there. Even Jose Mourinho gets a good laugh out of his blunder, and let’s face it, smiles have been in short supply at Madrid lately. Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction says all you need to know about what he thinks about Coentrao — even he knows his close friend isn’t too bright sometimes.

Yeah, at one point I forgot I was responding to a person so much as an idea. Forgive me. The voice in my head was not as angry or harsh as the words I used to express it.

I'm game, and probably skype. But how to record a live interview is beyond me. Just posting a video responding to questions is probably the easiest way.

I suppose the Grammy's are typically recognised as the biggest, so dat. Though altogether they're all pretty irrelevant.

Could be cool. If you know how to sort the logistics of recording a 2 person interview (presumably just audio?) it might be really interesting/disastrous. The simpler/lamer alternative is just said person posting a video of them answering a list of questions.

yarr. PSV just got one back. It's scrappy, sloppy, but really entertaining.

Wow, Jozy!

Not sure if extremely classy goal from the Alkmaar player or piss poor defending.

A great album. Of the songs we knew of before: Salt held up beautifully in the final product. Humiliated and Graceless are gems as well. Maybe their best produced album. Sea of Love is my stand out favorite after multiple listens.

I was not responding to you, nor did I mean that Dee was by any means uneducated. I was simply expressing my gut reaction before following up with a more meaningful response, that reaction being: Life is not boring, if you're surrounded by people who are, take refuge in a book, that your worldview may be shaped, sharpened and reflected on all things around you. Everytime I find myself depressed or bored, it's generally because I've gone a few weeks without reading. this is lovely.

Among many people I know, music consumption has almost become a contest. They've heard everything and understand nothing. If someone slowly, slowly wades through the discography of some lesser known artist (or even an unpopular top 40 pop singer) who really speaks to them, whilst ignoring the heavy flow of flashy album covers, 'best new music' lists and the like, they can often feel like a pariah, like someone excluded for not keeping up with 7 different AMC or HBO series. The wide availability of media these days demands a new approach. Compared to the beatles era when the radio and music industries had an amazing ability to manipulate what everyone would listen to, society has inevitably become more and more stratified. Rock and roll becomes Hard rock/soft rock, become indie metal/folk/psychedelic etc. etc. ad infinitum. Ergo, to become totally enshrouded in one culture implies the exclusion of the rest. It also means that the various groups continue to deteriorate in size until you're full of glee to meet 2 living humans who appreciate the same niche. An alternative is to become a ruthless consumer, checking off lists so as to know what most people at the party are talking about. I did this quite a lot with books growing up, and it took a poetry class to slow me down. I prefer vinyl now, not because I notice much sound difference, but because it too slows me down, and makes me face and interact with it. I suppose the key today is moderation, and seeing music as an end in itself, and not only a means to certain social ends, particularly since, as you described music simply can't operate as the kind of generational glue that it perhaps did in the time of the sex pistols. On the flipside, people who say 'they were born in the wrong decade' are responding to a skewed and censored version of a past decade that was only significant for its own era because of its stark contrast to the cultural shape of the previous decade which they also neither relate to nor understand. People are intrigued by the sense of purpose and revolution that came with songs like 'God save the Queen', but these songs only exist because of the density of moral, authoritative oppression that was happening. Revolution is not the mark of a beautiful time. It only occurs when things are quite obviously fucked up. This is not to say that things aren't fucked up now, but it's much easier to live vicariously through a past revolutionary than to trudge through what means is necessary to combat oppression in a present where the chaos doesn't directly affect oneself, but is constantly elsewhere. Flipping around tumblr, and seeing newspaper cuttings about Elvis, the Beatles and the like, it seems like they're hoping for a return to the shallowness of early childhood. Elvis was merely a celebrity, and within perspective, the clipping was from the modern equivalent of a tabloid hailing Justin Bieber's arrival. The idea of a simpler time is a myth. People suffered and died as much then as now, but the context within which we see these images are ours to play with like barbie dolls. To be honest, I began this response sober, and I have now returned home quite drunk. I will be sure to finish this response more coherently, but I might as well post what I've written so far. You're right, I'm not in the best position to judge a time I did not participate in, and my somewhat emotional response did not give sufficient credit to the perfectly innocent ideas that drive the desire for societal unity and zeitgeist. But at the crux of it all is a realistic reflection on the fact that 30 years ago, the people who made up the various subcultures were no less stupid and shallow as today. Conformity to music genres and fashion was, if anything, more rampant in the past, and high school students then certainly possessed the same frustrating flaws as our peers who we wish were more inspired/interesting/less boring.

Miller Lite lol I don't have 1% of the experience necessary to give a meaningful answer. If I go back to California, I'd like to give Pliny the Elder a go. edit:d'aww. Poster had 1 post. A whole 2 sentences. Wasted.

o? If what you're consuming is boring, consume some new things. If by everything, you mean you. Stop being boring then. Do interesting things ya'dig? Stahp. You want good music? Then turn off the TV/Radio and go get it. There's more beautiful music at your fingertips than you could consume in your lifetime. If you're actually so cultured as to categorically dismiss every musician on the planet, then pick up a fuckin guitar. Pop music will always be pop music. If you expect the top 40 to change, find a new God. Fucking hell. Subcultures are not people. Fashion is not people. You're distressingly elitist about clothing. The fact that you would dismiss a person because of how little they pay for clothes is embarrassing. Wearing new hairstyles means fuck all for your value as a person. You watch too many movies, kid. Is this a rhetorical question? To feel accepted. Obviously the term has become convoluted and divorced of all meaning nowadays. That doesn't mean that the negative traits that many associate with the term don't exist. These labels mean nothing to me. The MTV culture on which you seem to be reflecting is a disgusting stillborn myth. As you described, most who subscribe to these so-called subcultures are doing so inauthentically that they may find solidarity and a fashionable costume for their apathy, inadequacy, and inertia. You'll find no lasting virtue or happiness in an aesthetic lifestyle of conformity (even conforming to nonconformity), which is something disparate from genuine friendship and emotional support. Most historic subcultures as the romanticized objects of nostalgia you describe very rarely existed as a substantive entity, they are only abstract amalgamations of vintage photos and music videos. There is no movement as a crowd, only imitation. The only people that create progress and beauty are independent visionaries who, while young, were able to see through the swarm of envious masses that ultimately tear them too to shreds before their bodies are cold. The reason people keep reflecting on the past because they are allowed the privilege of distorting it into an absurd simulacrum of something that never was. Subcultures by rule cannot be innovative and present because there wouldn't be any crowd to disappear into. In any case, it's not 'this generation's' fault that you're bored. This is the most exciting time you could possibly live in, but it's not going to hop up and dance for you. Go do something pretty while you can.

Read a Mother Fucking Book.

Cloud Room, Glass Room - Pan American Unusual amount of percussion for that genre, but it's done tremendously well.

is this Paul Harding?

Despite becoming weirdly unhinged the last 10 minutes, Dortmund were very convincing, certainly the better team after both fixtures. They should've had at least 2 goals with the chances they had on the counter...and their passing, possession across midfield, and defending were as good as any team in the world on a good day.

A. This didn't merit a 'please read', which typically denotes some overwhelming personal crisis. B. Have you not spoken to this girl at work? If you're too nervous/shy/whatever to actually speak with her and broach the subject of elephants in person, this internet endeavor will probably prove a touch creepy, and will definitely not result the way you probably imagine it will. C. I have no idea why the smoking bit is relevant/important.

lawl liverpool I want a unicorn :wacko:

I generally agree, though it ought be said that the Arsenal fans I've spoken have said they wouldn't be nearly so upset if he hadn't supposedly made a series of promising statements while in London about never wanting to score for another team or something to that effect. I don't think the Torres transfer would have made nearly as many headlines if it weren't for the weird fashion he went about it. That said, for the most part, Robin is just the scapegoat for any and every recent frustration gooners have had to deal with.
