*promote Lou Reed's old lady's sage observations and the death of satanic media who offer-up hacks like lady gaga and miley cyrus as talent, and NBC, BBC, (insert acronym here) as information relative to meaning.

vocal chords are an oscillation that creates a frequency, as is a guitar string or a sax reed. hence the waveforms are similar. then just fuck with it with delays, pitch shifting, compression, phasing, and all manners of eq.

Jesus, is that Rex Reed?

Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.

Well yes it's a valid musical instrument. So is the kazoo.

The act of playing it is very different from playing piano and is much less technically skilful than learning to play the flute. I play clarinet, saxophone, flute and piano. They each have a different level of difficulty. Piano is the easiest, and clarinet is the hardest. The very hardest instruments to learn are the double reeds - oboe, cor anglais, and bassoon. The very easiest are the percussion family - drums, piano, all other keyboards.

I guess this is why I'm so opinionated about this...

figured i would whore my video which ties into this one and is also a bill moyers video:

yep..reed is back and with a jesus induced vengeance.

Lou Reed is *rockandroll

We got to see a dry-weather creek start running when we were in Austin. Looked just like this, on a 1/20th scale. Instead of trees, it was reeds and twigs on the front surge, the creek being about 5-8 foot across in full flow. Still a pretty amazing sight.

There's an alligator with a fishing rod just on the other side of those reeds, waiting for a foolish human to be distracted by that lure.

Moving this video to reed's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I love Bill Hicks but now I want to see the Oliver Reed segment, looks like he stumbled in late and bit shitfaced.

I know of some local places that do fishing, and the water in those places is crystal clear. They plant specific types of grasses and reeds to filter and are very picky about what happens around the lake. I'd be rather annoying to upkeep it especially with the winters coming in and freezing it.

I just suspect anything I did would end up with snakes in it. So I'd have to have a lot of land where I could put something like that in......and then destroy it when it became a snake breeding ground.

The reason is this , in general most african countries are pore so the only the ritchest fsamilies in africa will get to send kids to USA and given the distance and cost they have to make the most of it or they will get boloxed by there family they will also be aware of how fucked they might be if they don't get a high degree.

the same thing happens with indean and Chinese students or allot of students that are studying in another nation to there own , if you are going to another country to specifcsly study something chances are you have a specifc motivation and will be sumone that will work harder at the given subject.

another factor is that forghen students in a given nation are often older and have held jobs and so have more maturity and drive than your average native student thats just progressed through the schooling system . In uk you find allot of Scandinavian students that come into degrees have more knowlage and practical skills than some of the lecturers and are simply doing the degree for the paper at the end that says they have a degree/masters.

We are at a time where you can easily pick up a 1970s standerd of knowlage from the internet alone its all there years of lectures and free acces to reeding materals , grante din the 70s you could get allot from books but the internet offers a streem line way to learn and comunication with people that can help guide you where as pre 80s you would realy have to be told what books to get or buy acess to the knowlage and tutorship.

I knew of

Double Dagger ... punky band from baltimore

LCD Soundsystem ... guy who runs DFA but LCD was bigger than his own label somehow.

REM ... duh

The White Stripes ... duh

Ludicra ... metal band from east bay that had a wicked female vocalist

The Stills ... fuck em

Ponytail ... some weirdo mathy band from baltimore that probably should not have had a vocalist at all.

and Sonic Youth. Had no idea Sonic Youth threw in the towel but knew that Thurston and Kim are getting divorced which is sad in and of itself.


All I know is that I did not see Lou Reed or Metallica on the list ... leaves me disappointed.

My favorite philosopher. His books Outside ethics and Politics and the real are fantastic. I can't wait to watch this later tonight.
BTW Westy, he's a philosopher. Being overly verbose is what they do


lol I know but its just stupid , any intelligent person will evaluate an argument or what is being said by the core information facts and logic , not the poetry and colourful use of language , in this context especially where he is presenting to university students it makes little sense for him to be so verbose and shouting.

If his books are more concise then id defiantly reed them.
