Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to Russell Brown,
It’s not about you
Yes, that was... kinda my point. "I use a more old-brain response to baring of teeth" is a rather less annoying statement than "you look like a creepy fakepants with all those teeth". The latter is about me; the former is about you (the general you, not the specific).

Um. Some of us genuinely smile with exposed teeth. Sorry we're harshing your mellow with our perceived creepy fakeness or whatever. (Something else I have no control over which I can now feel slightly uncomfortable doing! Awesome.)

Sadly no. 'Twas on Ebay, I believe.

I believe that if John Key ripped off his latex human mask to reveal the slavering raptor head underneath and ate a baby on live television, most people would chuckle and go “gosh, that cheeky bastard really knows how to eat a baby, eh?” and then carry on as normal.
I want this to have a wider audience.

TAWTWMRS was obvious to even the most casual observer
I love that I’m drawing a blank on it. Wha?
(Also, he is doing the Spinning Songbook tour again right now in America. The lucky sods.)
ETA: we no longer even have CDs. We just got Sonos. I wish to marry it.

So no real need to listen to anything before year zero, eh? :)
I feel like I'm back on the Elvis Costello discussion list, suddenly...

Hard News: Some Lines for Labour, in reply to Danyl Mclauchlan,
the public likes Key
I am so bamboozled by this obvious fact that I have no suggestions for Labour. He is clearly appealing to hundreds of thousands of people, but I cannot work out *how* he is appealing, because every time I look at him or hear him speak I shudder. I need someone to deconstruct his likeability for me, because I. Don’t. Get. It.
(This is like the “he’d be great to have a beer with” thing when W. was running for president the first go-round. I could never conceive of hanging out with that guy. To me, it was obvious he was an utter douche. And yet…)

a Darcy/Bingley story
Oh, come on. Darcy would *never* fuck Bingley. Bingley is as dumb as a box of hammers. He'd be *way* more likely to fuck Mr Bennet, who is at least funny.
(Cue someone pointing me to a Darcy/Mr Bennet story...)

That's a little before my time. About a quarter century, in musically appreciation terms.
You don't listen to anything recorded before 1975?
