While it's not a patch on the original, i maintain that The Futureheads take on Hounds of Love is brilliant in it's own right for taking the lyrics in a whole new direction and meaning. In fact, that's the first rule of a good cover.

that's hella gay.

Dark Avengers! yay! also: that list misses out Chew #1 Rez can you hook a brother up with that relevant forum thread from a while back? I can't find Wolf Man #16 online at all.

This is genius. Once again, The Washington Post has published the winning submissions to its yearly neologism contest, in which readers are asked to supply alternative meanings for common words.

Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach. 4. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk. 5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent. 6.

Circumvent (n.), an opening in the front of boxer shorts worn by Jewish men. The Washington Post's Style Invitational also asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's winners: 1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. 2. Foreploy (v): Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid. 3.

Ignoranus (n): A person who's stupid AND an asshole absolutely love the last one. I'm going to use it all the time.

hahahaaaahahaahaahaahaha

subtle stuff.

can't beleive the lader one eluded me. Paj is right- zoom in. God knows what the CCC is. And what's with the greek looking warrior guy?

that's the most common way yeah. They actually say 'whatever monosyllabic sound you want 3 times' so it could also be 'puh puh puh' or something. Such a good band. Perfect fusion of punk, dance and post rock. Awesome as fuck.

*watches post get pushed off the page by shitty aussie bland-o rock and sighs*

Waiting for that call is horrible. had to be in that situation last year.

I think they just have a real languages education in Europe.

In the scene where they fight a rival gang in the first act of the book there's a sense of rythm and dance to the prose. Burgess intentionally structures his sentences to give the effect. The use of Nadsat also beautifies the violence and forces the reader to enjoy it. In the film Kubrick obviously couldn't use Burgess' elaborate prose and language so he found another visual language to replace it. He uses comical film speeds, set design and exaggerated movements in a dance style to achieve a similar effect to Burgess' prose.

god damn I love me some !!! check this session out http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/61-/1 and this album spotify:album:7HVmUNOZEGHUpdNmY8L8Ue and stop posting rogue traders. Christ they're dull.

yeah the book is...intensely written. it goes way beyond a few odd phrases in conversation and, brilliantly, never includes an appendix of terms.* * might not be true but Burgess intended to keep them out so they should be ignored.

It's pretty much all that good. Rusty Cage and Jesus Christ Pose are fucking amazing. edit: Soundgarden that is. dammit Paj!

not yet. What are they like?

I only have their A-Sides best of. It's very good but I know Superunknown is very highly thought of from their album discography.

It's Malcolm McDowell. Legend. I like the film- Kubrick does great things in translating a novel based so heavily on language. His intention was to create a visual representation of Nadsat. In the tricky situation of not being able to use the bulk of the text's descriptive sections in the film, I think it was a very interesting way of doing things. I prefer the book by a fair way though. as did Anthony Burgess- he never really agreed with Kubrick and would go on to write a scene in to the musical production in which Kubrick is booted off stage by the droogs.

Nickleback's inclusion in the list is proof that the general public have no taste and should be ignored if at all possible. in other news: received a snooty look of distaste from a metalhead when I was discussing some music in the park today. Annoys the fuck out of me when people pigeonhole their interests with such intent and then act superior about it when other people actually have some variety in their collection.

you're such a bumbaclart.

I'm fairly sure they're not. The ones you get on default are but I used a usb charging solid block thing. If they're AA inside they're *amazing* AA's because they last forever

haha brilliant.

haha Well Jay is teh law so I'll settle for making my case and waiting. in other news: found a gorgeous Ford Escort from way back when on my travels today. goaferboy - A classic car (technically pre 1973)

As the Bishee to which that challenge is attributed I contest the contestment in that, with gummy bears being so similar, they should be allowed.
