Here’s a solid example of media spin. This is why I don’t fuck with politics.

(150/365) A song by your favorite contemporary composer: When I was in concert band, I loved playing Holsinger. You can’t get comfortable playing him. There’s always something unexpected, and you have to really practice to master one of his compositions. It’s probably difficult to get into if you haven’t tried playing it.

Shuffle epiphany

Never realized how similar Hole’s Plump and DeVotchKa’s The Enemy Guns sound until they were played back to back just now.

(149/365) A song by your favorite classical composer: Movement 4 of Haydn’s Opus 76 No. 1 is my favorite piece of classical music. I couldn’t find it for the day when that was a question, but at least I found it for this one. I marked the video so it will start on that movement. Seriously, take a few minutes to listen. It’s magnificent.

Margaret Cho: Trolls Who Call Me ‘Fat And Ugly’ Are Admitting Defeat

Margaret Cho has a simple philosophy for dealing with degrading comments about herself: If you’re debating a woman and you stoop to calling her “fat” or “ugly,” you’ve already lost the argument.

The comedian explains how to turn misogynist attacks into a “more palatable and pleasurable” experience.

^^^^^^^^^EXACTLY. TO RESORT TO AD HOMINEM IS TO CONCEDE DEFEAT IN THE SAME MOVEMENT

OH MY GOD I LOVE HER!

(148/365) A song you would use to tell someone you were completely in love with how you felt. You can’t lose with Frankie.

(147/365) A song that you love but for some reason don’t own: I can never get everything I want unless I won the lottery. I’m glad there are things like YouTube and Spotify to listen to all the great music out there.

(146/365) A song with great vocal harmonies: This has a gospel feel to it, but the finale is really my favorite “Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on river” “Got to get away” and then the background to the “Got to run away” part. It’s unorthodox, like many Dennis compositions, but really he really hit the mark on this for a great opener to a great album.

(145/365) A song that features an unusual instrument: This song features a can of bug spray for percussion. It’s the “sssst” sound in the background. I can only imagine how awful the studio smelled after that session.
