All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow to down to him anyway
‘Cause it’s better than being alone
Thank you for your continued support of Deadsplinter where you can stick it to the man, keep your friends, and never feel alone!
Arcade Fire Ready to Start:
In honor of MLK day, from the great Playing for Change movement, Get Up Stand Up
…hmmm – might need to think a bit more before I can settle on a tune but in the spirit of making a start, here’s a poem about how to write a political poem?
I can’t register (trying for hours!). Fortunately I had a WP login and logged in. The registration page keeps complaining about the answer to the security question. All the fields at the registration page except the security question have a green outline. What’s the proper format of the security question and answer?
…sorry you’re having trouble but if you’ve got a WP login I’d suggest sending that question direct to myopicprophet since of all of us they’re the one most likely to be able to help you out?
Oh yes. I could have send him a message via WP. Good thing he saw my post here. Thank you.
BTW, Nice Avatar!
type out the answer to whatever the math question is. for example, if it is 3+4, the answer would be: seven
I tried again today, but today on the very first attempt it said something like ‘this email is already in use’. So, I went to the login page, clicked ‘forgot my password’ and entered the email. A second later I got my password in my email and here I’m! Yesterday it kept complaining about my security answer. Did you fix it? Thank you.
I’m afraid there I have one more question for you though. Since yesterday I tried many different questions and answers now I don’t know which was accepted. And looking on my profile and on my settings pages I don’t see anything that will show it to me or allow me to change it. Can you see it?
Ok, I got one in the theme too…Jungle Fire – Comencemos (Lets Start)
That’s one hell of a mall gig!
What I meant to say is that I had not heard of Jungle Fire and will be listening to more of them.
It reminded me a bit of this string of pieces put together by a DJ I know nothing about. Great background music for work, if you are sitting in front of a computer.
Oklahoma’s Wilson brothers.
Better know as The Gap Band!
I love that you love those guys. One of my faves since I was a kid.
Have you ever been to a wedding where they haven’t played at least one Gap Band song?
I’m not feeling very hopeful. I’m bitter and angry. I hope Mitch McConnell gets cancer and dies a slow, painful death.
Etta James – Stacked Deck
…
…
Still one of the absolute greatest music videos ever made.
You’re Ready Now – Frankie Valli (sans 4 Seasons)
This is a stomper.
I have no sympathy for the devil in the white house.
Amen sister
…to be fair, he can’t be the devil they’re advocating we have sympathy for – it’s right there in the first line after all
“Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste.”
…I’d argue the great orange hope of the GOP is more by way of a red right hand(job)?
Tokyo Sex Destruction – All People Get Ready!
Isn’t today Blue Monday?
Followed by Orange Tuesday?
…overthinking things never helps…despite trying to think of something less predictable that Makeshift Patriot on account of that being yet another Sage Francis tune I now can’t think of anything but something of a cliche…although I guess it got to be one for good reason?
I love Arcade Fire. Some (or all?) of the members used to live near me. I would see that tall motherfucker on a bike once. I also witnessed him insult one of my paintings at a charity auction (don’t worry, I was just excited he looked at it hahaha. People can insult my art if they want). I think they live elsewhere in the city now.
I’ve been into this one by them lately.
Artists are like musicians. Brave to share their souls.
Yeah I certainly have grown a tough skin.
