The new Sunn O))) is really good

Of course, I'm discovering most of my favoured music retrospectively, which involves significant time exploring the social, cultural, and artistic terrain of 1966-1980ish (Big Beatles to Prime Punk via Pullulating Psychedelia and Maturing Metal); however, amongst rock's fertile epoch, I'm increasin...

That's exactly what Krugman says. But he points out that Republicans believe otherwise and give their own presidents credit when we have a good economy. He's saying that what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. So you are justifying a fallacious argument because the red team uses it as w...

BWV 1080

I actually do respect Krugman, except that he panders to his readership by resorting to Strawman charictitures of other perspectives. I really doubt Obama (like most presidents) has had much responsibility for the economy one way or another. Might as well give Bush and Paulson credit for the immedia...

I would take a nearly 2-1 payoff on Hilary. Look at the 2012 electoral college then figure that A) it was a moderate republican running against a liberal democrat B) we have had four years of millenials turning 18 and old white people dying Then in 2016 we will have a conservative running against a ...

Would not say that Shostokovich was alien to PB's musical personality given the fact that Mahler was DS's primary influence- Boulez judged that the music was just derivative of Mahler

Did Boulez conduct much neoclassical stravinsky? Am only familiar with the earlier works

At least no one would have to ever worry again about CO2 emissions and global warming

Schumann was the leading Romantic to absorb and move on past Beethoven. Schubert was nearly a contemporary to LvB like Weber or Hummel. Chopin had little exposure to Beethoven until after his style had developed, being influenced primarily by Mozart.

No greater musician for the last 50 years, brilliant composer and conductor. F--- the atonophobes, the man wrote beautiful music.

it takes a half a second to replace a magazine on a typical automatic handgun, far to short a period for the shooter to be disabled by their potential victims. And you think that the victim's being armed has anything to do with a sane approach to the problem? I don't know if it is any part of the s...

...Not to mention, mass shootings are only part of the tragedy of gun-related killings in the country every year. They are, however, a wake-up call to stimulate some action to limit gun violence. if you want to put a dent in the largest component of gun violence, legalize drugs (and these are killi...

While these incidents are tragic, statistically they are a meaningless risk. Nor are mass shooting on an upward trend. Deaths from all mass shooting, defined as gun homicides with at least 4 victims (a criterion that likely includes a significant number of domestic and drug-related killings), have f...

China has never been an expansionist power, they have a regional sphere (which includes Tibet and Taiwan) that they will go to war over, but they are no military threat to the US

As an educator, jbuck, it is your responsibility to identify all the lonely isolated kids and flag them as potential threats. This is way too glib a statement.

We should not criticize eugenics just because the Nazis approved of it. They approved of steel too. Eugenic intervention has been proposed and supported by good people with good intentions.

I wonder if the real issue isn't the expanded talent pool relative to the shrunken audience.
