I really, really regret not going to this. Total Life Forever is easily the best thing I've heard internationally this year. And I didn't think the first one was much chop either ... !

They found some space in their songs and ... greatness.

Here's the (poorly articulated) Key Selection Criteria:

You are a visionary and a do-er – a manager and leader who has created opportunities, forged new directions and translated vision into action. You are experienced in the nuances of operating in the community sector, and have established relationships with government and business. Politically astute, and with exceptional stakeholder management skills, you can demonstrate success in policy development, advocacy and issues management, together with operational and financial excellence. You are flexible, tenacious, highly productive and self-motivated to drive outcomes.

This thread is clearly the end point of the Internet. It's got everything.

Melbourne vs other state that isn't Melbourne, artist and friends logging in to defend themselves, editor vs artist argument, Striborg, Striborg breakdancing, Striborg's real name being 'revealed' repeatedly, people wanting to interview Block because he's Striborg, debates about authenticity and ambition, debates about sexism, Zaphod, Andrew McMillen, other blogs asking to be credited in news stories, people bitching about news stories, Ashton Kutcher's greatest feat (banging what's her face), Franz Ferdinand, someone from Adelaide, Angelic being mental, the Cannanes, tandoori boners, Andrew Harper, sampling wristies, ZOND, grim malice, internet etiquette, BAM, Duchamp, the Cookie Monster, Eldritch, Kate Nash, Snug, Collinsvale, Ross Arden and Everett True asking for work.

And Danny is leaving. Thank you to everyone. This is his legacy.

Also :

for those of us who don't want to fork out for The Nash?

You disgust me, Prescott. Really such casual sexism is just typical anonymous insecure male fan-boys cluttering up music website message boards, and happens the world over.

I also think Pre-Millenium Tension is better than Maxinquaye.

But I'm a douche.

Ryan Adams. I love some of the post-Heartbreaker records and think they're great, but I cut him ALOT of slack because of that one.

Thanks for putting up with my bullshit, Bos(s). Best of luck. Don't touch Block.

The King is dead - LONG LIVE THE KING.

The Mars Volta. Deloused ... is a great record. The rest of them sound like a sociology student reading over the BAM festival.

Interpol exist for this thread.

CONTROVERSY
