Would You Like to See Posh in the SATC Sequel?

Victoria Beckham is back in LA, and she's apparently diving right into the city's main business — acting. She's said to have signed up for classes to refine her skills in the hopes of landing a cameo in the upcoming Sex and the City sequel. We've already gotten a peek at Posh's acting chops when she had a guest-starring role on Ugly Betty and, of course, in Spice World. So, tell us — would you like to see her on the big screen in the SATC film?

i think that it would make sense if she were in the movie - i wouldn't mind seeing her at all - although i'm not sure how much acting she would need to do to be herself.

Since they are going to do a sequel, I think it would be cool to see Posh in it. She fits SATC's stylish look so well.

I used to like her in The Spice Girls. Why does she dress like a Jetson? And to answer the question, I loathe Sex and the city.

I thought she was hilarious in Ugly Betty.

I have never really watched SATC (gasp) but I love Victoria, so... maybe I might be tempted to check it out if she makes a cameo, just because (shrug)

No. I mean, I enjoy Posh, but they could get someone really interesting to make an appearance. This cameo would be as empty as Hugh Hefner's cameo on the series. Just a big name, and zero acting ability. If he weren't the ultimate-still living sex icon as far as the 20th century is concerned, he woulda been lackluster too.

I love Victoria, but no, and to add to some of the other comments I agree they shouldnt be doing a sequel in the first place, the movie was okay, they should focus on a prequel tell us how the ladies all met, I really dislike producers dragging this thing out.

Agree with Whiplash the first was disappointing and will not bother to see the sequel even with Victoria Beckham in it.

I'm furious they are doing a sequel. Why didn't they just suck it up when they were doing the show and check their egos at the door. None of them have done any nothworthy work since the show ended. This sequel screams desperation to me. I've moved on. So should they. The fact that they are getting Victoria involved just goes to show how crap it's going to be.

"This invitation is simple and easy to personalize. I am having a kitchen shower theme so this was the perfect product for me. I am happy with the quality of the print and the quality of the paper. I would recommend wedding paper divas to any bride or bridal party!!"
"These cards were exactly what I was looking for. The brightly colored umbrella collage is a fun spin on the whole "shower" concept! My sister loved them and they made her feel more at ease about having a party in her honor than some stuffy traditional card would have done. Also the online RSVP option is fabulous and super handy!"
"I loved this shower invite. It looks even prettier in person. I used the pumpkin color for the print and flower color and it turned out very pretty. This invite has the perfect name it is very delicate and elegant looking. I love them."
"The designer was able to customize the sash on the dress along with the name to the color of my choice. When they sent back the 'proof' the designer had mentioned that she lightened the background so that the color I chose would stand out better. I absolutely loved how they turned out and I was amazed that they were able to create what I was envisioning being online. I would totally recommend using this website and company again!"
"Ordering was easy, delivery was faster than they said, and was so happy with the card. Arrived in a beautiful sturdy box and was very well packed. For the money spent, so worth it compared to the cost of other cards. My only complaint, and I had read others that said the same thing, is the envelopes are too big for the card. For such a reputable company, I don't know why they don't invest in a comparable size envelope or make the card larger. Other than that small complaint, I would order from Wedding Paper Divas again in a heart beat."

Welcome to my online home!
I am returning here in June 2015 after dropping the ball on my dieting efforts during our unexpected relocation from the UK to the Pacific Northwest in December 2014. I am a German woman in her early 50s with about 90 lbs to loose.
All I know at this point is that this is a journey of profound trust and awakening.

NOTICE 2009/12/24: SH95UPD v0.0.8 beta is now released.
NOTICE 2009/12/23: I think that this is very bad news... SH95UPD may actually become permanently dead under my programming and management...
My 8-year old second-hand PC has finally been replaced... as it has suffered another major failure this December (The RAM modules were not being properly detected by the Mainboard), but I managed to get it fixed (By luck. I really didn't swap anything). My father got me a new laptop... with Windows 7 on it.
Since I got a new system... the old, ailing PC has to go... soon.... although not yet.
I feel like re-writing SH95UPD into C, under Open Watcom C instead, to make it more sleeker... but I think that that may not be feasible.
NOTICE 2009/11/02: Geocities Singapore (The web host for my website) is now dead, and all links pointing there are dead.
This project implements functions not found in the windows 95 shell but present windows 98, allowing the users of 98lite (sleek),
ROM, ROM2 to be able to once again run programs that would only work with the Windows 98 shell and not with the windows 95 shell.
SH95UPD is based on the KernelEX project, and is basically a stripped down version of KernelEX.
Currently it only tampers with Shell32.dll, adding functions present from the IE4 shell update to it.
This project neither requires nor includes files from Windows 98, and does not distribute any copyrighted files.
It is designed so that KernelEX(And similar software) can be installed over it, with almost no loss of functionality.
Starting with the Release candidate v0.0.2B, the SH95Version function is no longer included. Hence Kernel32.dll is now unpatched.
If you are installing SH95UPD v0.0.8 over a system with an older version of SH95UPD, please uninstall the older version before proceeding.
Please note that you would still need to hex edit DESK.cpl and replace all occurances of SHELL32.dll with SHELL32.w98 (Or the name of your Win98 SHELL32.DLL).
This problem seems to be a fault with 1 of the Win95 SHELL32.dll's internal functions, and is currently being addressed.
However, this should be the *only* file you would ever need to hex edit again.
SH95UPD v0.0.6 is the last build of SH95UPD to be based on KernelEx 0.32a, while newer builds are now based on KernelEx 0.36.
This version of SH95UPD, v0.0.8, has major core changes from v0.0.7A. However, it may possibly have many new bugs.
Please discuss any "new" bugs introduced in v0.0.8(Crashes or unusual behaviour that were not present before installing SH95UPD v0.0.8) at the SH95UPD thread at the MSFN forums.
All the binary files provided in this released have been pre-compressed with UPX.
IMPORTANT! SH95UPD v0.0.8 has some extreme core changes done to it (View the changelog for details).
Hence you can consider it to be a "Ultra Beta", a much bigger beta than v0.0.7 when it was initially released.
Frankly, I have not really heavily tested this, but I have yet to encounter any flaws. Please report any _new_ crashes you may encounter.
Credit goes to Xeno86 and (x).
- Windows 95, Windows 98 Standard Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millienium
- Any locale and kernel version
- Windows 95 Shell (Any version, but must be from a pre-OSR2.5(Pre-Windows 95C) Windows 95 build) already installed and working
Thank you all SH95UPD users for your support.
New project homepage (Lists all SH95UPD related posts):
The latest version is v0.0.8, and latest stable version is v0.0.7A.
The link to the homepage below got changed somehow... please update your links.
Check the home page for more information and for the latest stable releases, release candidates, source code and tools.

Please avoid hot-linking directly to the files as the file names will change over time.
Rejoice 98lite users!!!
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the MSN community!

I am using Eclipse to code my java project and have a folder called res which holds any images or text files that are needed for the project to work properly. When run in the ide, the source folder can reference the res folder with no problem, but when i export it to my desktop, the res folder isn't exported along with the source folder. I have to create a folder on my desktop holding the exported jar and then recreate the res folder within that folder in order for it to work. I've looked around but can't get a working answer on how to get the res folder to export with the jar file. I've tried making the res folder a source folder but that didn't work. Thanks for your time!
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
It may be the problem that the res folder is getting exported but you're not accessing the files in the correct way. When you access files in your res folder, you have to do it in a different way to make it continue to work after you create a jar file.
The first "/" refers to the base folder of your jar file.
If it's the case that the files aren't getting placed into the jar file at all, I am unsure. It should get exported after you add it as a source folder.

Comments about Speedo Women's Vanquisher Mirrored Goggle:
I purchased these googles to protect my eyes while swimming in the ocean on vacation in the Caribbean. I didn't want to spend a lot, but I wanted quality googles that would also look cool...these fit the bill perfectly. It's hard to find googles that fit your face and form a tight seal - these do. I felt very stylish wearing them, and I highly recommend them.

This is the most comfortable goggle I have ever used. They NEVER leak or flip off on entry. I have the first pair I ever bought and they still work fine, but the lenses have finally gotten too gummed up from years of faithful service.

One woman's true tale of human trafficking and rescue
Human trafficking is largely seen as a problem overseas, but its rise in the U.S. has gone largely underreported. For its Spring 2012 edition, the San Francisco Public Press published a special report on human trafficking in the Bay Area. The report examined the financial and political challenges facing agencies that aid trafficking victims and prosecute perpetrators. As a follow-up to this report, renowned cartoon artist Dan Archer illustrated one woman's story with a full-page cartoon in the Summer 2012 edition.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/28/13
The New England Patriots have signed free agent wide receiver Michael Jenkins. In his ninth season, Jenkins caught 40 passes for 447 yards and two touchdowns with the Minnesota Vikings last year. He joined them in 2011 after seven seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, who drafted him in the first round in 2004 out of Ohio State. Jenkins has 354 catches for 4,427 yards and 25 touchdowns in 130 games, including 79 starts. The Vikings released him March 5. The Patriots lost their top two receivers from last season when Wes Welker, who had 118 catches, signed with the Denver Broncos, and Brandon Lloyd, who had 74 receptions, was released. They've added free agents Danny Amendola from the St. Louis Rams and Donald Jones from the Buffalo Bills.

DEFINITION of 'Annuity Method Of Depreciation'
A method of depreciation centered around cost recovery and a constant rate of return upon any asset that is being depreciated. This method requires the determination of the internal rate of return (IRR) on the cash inflows and outflows of the asset. The IRR is then multiplied by the initial book value of the asset, and the result is subtracted from the cash flow for the period in order to find the actual amount of depreciation that can be taken.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Annuity Method Of Depreciation'
The annuity method of depreciation is also commonly referred to as the compound interest method of depreciation. If the cash flow of the asset being depreciated is constant over the life of the asset, then this method is called the annuity method. However, the annuity method of depreciation is not endorsed by GAAP principles.

Mischa is featured in the music video for the In My Name fight against poverty campaign. Check it out below. Thanks to Angela for the tip.
The Handbag.com and Cancer Research UK Handbag Amnesty Auction is now up and running! The bag Mischa donated is currently at £155.00 with just under five days left for bidding. All proceeds go to Cancer research so this a great way to get one of Mischa's bags whilst supporting an important cause.
As a bonus, the winning bidder will also receieve a photo hand signed by Mischa!
Click here for more information. Or click here to head on over to the auction.
Now back in the US following her hectic fashion week(s) schedule, Mischa was spotted leaving the dentist on October 6th. Mischa is reportedly due to be in India some time in November to begin filming her next movie.
A waiting list for Mischa's upcoming hair accessories collection has been added to the Stacey Lapidus website. Click here to sign up. The website states that the collection is due in Spring but a preview of it will be available soon. Also, the logo for the collection has been revealed which comprises a mixture of the Stacey Lapidus logo infused with Mischa's flower logo from her handbag collection. Looks like Mischa is on her way to building a mighty fine fashion label. I'm personally very excited to have Mischa step into the world of business and branding.
As an aside, rumours are circulating that Mischa is in neogitations to attend the Melbourne Cup Carnival in Australia with negotiations also underway for an undisclosed department store to carry her label downunder. Mischa's Australian reps are the same guys who represent and market Hilary Duff in Aus so if a deal does go ahead, my bets are on retail giant Myer picking up Mischa's line.
And finally, big thanks to LindsayLohan.eu for making us their site of the month!
Photos of Mischa at the Marlies Dekkers Fashion Show in Paris have been uploaded. She's photographed with supermodel Jessica Stam. And I have to say on a personal note that I'm loving these photos. Mischa with my favourite supermodel, woo!
Various pictures of Mischa in Milan for fashion week have been uploaded. The main event so far has been the Alviero Martini show.
– Alviero Martini S/S 2009 – Milan Fashion Week
– Mischa goes shopping at Alviero Martini 1a Classe – Sep 27
– Mischa arrives in Milan to attend Alviero Martini fashion show
Thanks to Marie, Just Jared and Celebs Gossip.
A video of Mischa's trip to Africa as an Ambassador for Save the Children has surfaced on Youtube. Thanks to Amira for the tip! Check it out below.
Global dignitaries, activists and celebrities including Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Annie Lennox, John Legend, Rahul Bose, Anqelique Kidjo, Scarlett Johannsson, Missy Higgins, Emmanuel Jal, Wyclef Jean and Mischa Barton are calling out to leaders to keep their Millennium Development Goal promises, through the international release of a new song by Black-Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.
Under the umbrella of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty alliance, in my name will be released September 25, 2008, as the UN meets for an emergency poverty summit in New York. The release also marks the launch of a major global campaign action, also called in my name, challenging people all over the world to hold to account their leaders for their poverty promises.
'In My Name' is organized by the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) with support from Save the Children, Oxfam International and Comic Relief.

The holidaymakers had been on a tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest and were heading to Calais for the ferry home when the coach driver turned sharply to miss a car that came out of a side street. The bus hit the side of a house near the coastal town of Middelkerke, bringing down a wall and hurting two people inside. Two passengers inside the car were injured and 19 people on the bus were hurt.
Two of those suffered severe head injuries, while two more sustained severe arm injuries. Roy van de Gunst, a spokesman for the Belgian police, said the seriously injured passengers had been taken to hospitals in Bruges, Veurne and Ostend.
"The car came from a side street and the driver of the coach saw the car and tried to avoid a collision but came into contact with the house because there was no escape for him possible," he said.
The coach was operated by Rotherham-based travel company Leger.
A company official said: "We have 32 of the 35 passengers safe and being looked after in a hotel. They will be returning to the UK. Of the remaining three, two will be kept in hospital for a short period, while we are awaiting an update on the third."

For an explanation of my criteria, go here: http://listology.com/afterhours/story/my-criteria-art
I'd recommend any one of R. Stevie Moore's albums. Start with Phonography.
Personal favourite on Taking Tiger Mountain? For me it would have to be The Great Pretender, in my opinion a serious contender for greatest short track of the 70s. To me it seems like what would happen if you combined the Residents with Nine Inch Nails.
Very good list. If you haven't already heard "Odessey & Oracle" by The Zombies, check it out. It's a really fine 60's Pop Rock album, definitely better than both Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds.
The Velvet Underground? The Beatles? The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society?
Nice to see Arcade Fire here. Have you heard 'The Suburbs' yet? Personally, I think it's their strongest record.
Nope, aside from some songs (I think) I haven't heard that one yet. Even better than Funeral?
'Funeral' is undoubtedly a force of nature, but I think, song for song, 'The Suburbs' is Arcade Fire's most consistently enjoyable (and most mature) record -- full of great pop melodies and focused songwriting.
I'd rank their albums something like this:
1. The Suburbs (A+)
2. Funeral (A)
3. Neon Bible (A-)
4. Reflektor (B+)
Why are The Beatles underrated even in the "Pop" category? This list could use some explanation of what you think pop music should be. As it is, it gives the idea that you despise the genre (at least in its classical form) and that you can only accept pop music if it somehow negates or deviates from its principles (direct, simple, engaging, repetitive music). Only this can explain the inclusion of Neutral Milk Hotel's album. In what way is this a better pop album than Abbey Road? Why not put Trout Mask Replika as well if your going by the same criteria you apply in every other genre?
Having said that, your first place excepted, I don't really disagree with your choices (Taking Tiger Mountain is cool), just with their order and with the blatant omissions (Odessey and Oracle, Between the Buttons, With the Beatles, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, The Who Sell Out, etc.).
I guess if I were to make a list of pop albums which work best as pop albums, then Abbey Road would be #1.
Well, what's the point of doing a list called "Greatest Pop Albums" if you're not going to take the genre into account? It's frivolous, that was my point. It's AfterHours' Greatest Albums list minus the non-Pop Albums. One might as well do a "Greatest Albums with Animals On Their Covers" list or "The Greatest Albums that have 9 Songs on them".
Its really just "greatest albums that happen to be within the 'pop' genre". I'm not sure what the issue is with that. Personally, I could care less about genres, but throughout the years I get people asking me from time to time which pop albums I prefer as my lists tend to more strongly favor other genres. And, if you examine the list more closely you'll find that 26 of the selections (or, most of them) aren't on my "greatest albums" list at all.
I know you included different selections here. That's what validates it for me.
It's interesting you say you don't care about the genre when you're listening to music. Is that even possible? By genre I mean the craft and the tradition of a certain kind of music. Even subconsciously one usually takes these into account when listening/evaluating music. I should read more about this topic but for all I know music (like every other art) needs to be somehow recognizable and follow some kind of pattern for us to understand or enjoy it. And also for us to recognize how revolutionary it is. Citizen Kane won't appear half as impressive today if I'm not familiar with the filmmaking tradition that preceded it. Do you really strip every work of all its context when you judge it? Is it a kind of tabula rasa competition between avant-garde masterpieces?
All I meant is that I dont rate something based on genre. Your previous posts seemed to expect me to rate The Beatles higher on a pop list than I would on my greatest albums one, but my ratings for any genre or art are based on the same all-encompassing criteria. A 9/10 pop album is every bit as amazing as a 9/10 classical work, etc (though amazing for different reasons/through different means).
I got that part. I was just wondering about your (and my) mental process when it comes to evaluating music.
I simply listen to the songs/piece closely and, while doing so, assimilate its emotions/themes and how amazing I find these (with attention also given to the singularity of its expression). So yes, definitely experience and a historical context comes into play while doing this.
I don't find the Beatles very compelling or emotionally interesting -- though they made some excellent albums and several good songs. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of the most emotionally devastating and compelling albums ever created.
The albums on this list aren't rated on a curve of "how 'pop' the album is". They're rated by the same criteria as any of my other rock/jazz lists. Also, the definition of pop is stretched in some cases, such as Aeroplane (which is several other genres as well).
I wonder why you do not find the Beatles to be emotionally interesting. Do you think they're faking their emotions when they perform? Do you dislike their personalities?
I think Lennon is the most interesting, by far. He was the most dedicated to saying something new, towards creating transcendent music. The rest of them didn't go outside the box much.
I think they were often good, sometimes very good, and occasionally amazing -- Revolution 9, A Day in the Life, Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever ... but even these are far surpassed by greater, more extraordinary efforts by other artists, such as (off the top of my head): (Revolution 9) Faust I - Faust, (A Day in the Life) Parable of Arable Land - Red Crayola, (Tomorrow Never Knows) National Anthem - Radiohead, (Strawberry Fields Forever) In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel...
To be honest I don't see so much relation between the pairs you have compared (except for Faust and Revolution 9 both being collages). Speaking of collages, the White Album is one huge successful collage of a vast variety of musical styles. I've yet to hear another pop album that does it so perfectly or even comes close in terms of scope and creativity. From the melodic point of view, their music has always been transcendent. They just needed a double album with no concept or commercial direction or producer/manager supervision to let their collective talent fully blossom. The White Album is a timeless masterpiece. Can't say this about the rest of their albums though.
Strawberry Fields Forever is more connected to ITAOTS than R9 to Faust. I do agree with all you said about the White Album though.
RE: White Album ... I'm totally open to it being amazing -- the more the merrier ... but I remember it being consistently solid/entertaining/interesting as a series of mildly interesting diversions/novelties, and occasionally very good (such as Happiness is a Warm Gun), and one or two times very very very good (such as Revolution 9). Is it really that amazing next to something like, say, a 7.5/10 like Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle? And then, compared to a towering masterpiece like Carla Bley's Escalator Over the Hill?
I do agree that it is their least artificial album, where each of them seem to be expressing "themselves".
But yes, I'll give it another shot in the near future. It's been 5+ years so who knows what might happen...
So why bother doing a list called "Greatest Pop Albums" if you don't care about pop music's characteristics? If the criteria is just "emotionality" what keeps you from adding Trout Mask Replica, The Doors or Velvet Undergroung?
I've listened to In the Aeroplane Over The Sea more times than it deserves, and I never found it that compelling. Apart from two beautiful songs (that I would hardly call "pop songs"), Two Headed Boy and the title track, the album lacks diversity and gets tedious very quickly.
Because these are pop albums to greater or lesser degree -- just not pure, standard barers of the genre like Britney Spears or N'Sync, et al. There's a small argument that The Doors debut is sort of a pop album, but The Velvet Underground and Capt Beefheart are pretty far removed (obviously you know that).
Re: "not caring" ... I care when it's done in an amazing/emotional/compelling way. This is not an objective list, it's my opinion. Re: you not finding In the Aeroplane Over the Sea compelling and it lacking diversity and becoming tedious... sounds like you have a different take on it than I do, which is fine. If you want to place The Beatles at the top of a pop albums list, and rate ITAOTS lowly, you should just make your own list (if you haven't already) or write an article of the Beatles merits and why they're so compelling/emotionally significant/influential (or whatever merits you look for).
These discussions always end silly ("you should do your own list", etc.). We've had it before on your paintings list but I can't seem to explain my point right. It's about your approach, which always seems too closed and too self-centered to me. You expect the artwork to amaze you by matching your criteria. This is a very dangerous attitude towards art if only because it can freeze your taste. It's always a one way street between you and the artwork - the artwork must satisfy you. What I argue is that even something as apparently simple as pop music has created over the years a number of characteristics and traditions that should be studied and considered. There are many interesting things to value in Beatles' music, many more in Beethoven's music, even more in Bach's music. Before judging them, maybe we should try to learn about them. And maybe direct emotionality isn't the most interesting criterium, nor the most edificating one. The years pass and only Scaruffi comes to mind when I check your lists (even though I enjoy them).
I have no idea how one could look at the resulting works on my lists and think my approach to be "closed", but, okay... Escalator Over the Hill or Vampire Rodents alone cover more types of music than the average music listener will hear in their entire lifetime ... And I have no clue why some people act like it's a flaw when someone judges something based on observation and opinion and doesn't attempt to judge something "objectively" (whatever the hell that even means. Are you in communication with God when you rank your choices?) or whatever agenda it is you're thinking with when you consider that I am somehow "wrong" for not ranking the Beatles highly on my personal, subjective list ... The interesting things I value in The Beatles music are represented here. A 7/10 is a very good/excellent score. It's not like they're Beethoven, Bach or Mozart or something...
Okay, I tried the White Album again and honestly feel it's below a 7.
It has some great peaks: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Revolution 9, some others ... and some songs were a little better than I remembered such as Back in the USSR (and how the airplane keeps landing during the chorus). Also, there is a certain charisma to each of them splitting their personalities and diversifying their sound. Plus, with the 2009 stereo remastered sound quality, it did bring out some nuances that I'd missed in previous years which improved the experience and gave their sound some added depth.
But when it comes down to it, there are plenty of sprawling, multi-faceted albums that I think are much more amazing, and in particular, do a better job of accumulating in impact and resonance as they expand. I recommend comparing it to Dusk at Cubist Castle for starters. And if you want to go straight for the jugular -- albeit completely unfair -- compare it to Escalator Over the Hill.
Well, I don't know...try it again I guess? I'd say you should pay attention to the more relaxed and sleepier parts of the album and their contrast to the explosive ones -- they're what truly represent the spirit of the album, e.g. USSR+Prudence, Julia+Birthday, Monkey+Sadie+Helter Skelter+Long Long Long. The Beatles is essentially a disconnected dream, where everything, including the nonsense, in contrast to the psychedelia of the year before, is more subtle and sincere, as if the band really believes in what they're talking about and somehow this dream is more real than real life itself. Another notable portion would be the last three tracks -- the tired Cry Baby Cry, with its underlying tension suddenly breaking out in R9, only to wind down with the soothing Good Night. I hope I'm making some sense here, sometimes I think I exaggerate its significance and depth myself but anyway, that's what I think at the moment.
Meanwhile, thanks for the recommendation, I should try Dusk at Cubist Castle soon.
Thanks, that's an interesting take on it. I'll see if that works better for me the next time I listen to it.
I'm going to take a middle ground between you two...
The White Album was made at a time when a lot of the key practitioners of psychedelic rock switched to a more rootsy style, (supposedly) more humble and less pretentious. To that end, the songs are a lot simpler and humbler and while there is some experimentation on the album, it's more of the home-made variety (a tradition going back to the early Fugs). Several of the songs, in the aim of not taking themselves so seriously, find them making fun of themselves and referencing their (and others) old material. Mostly, however, it's filled with some just-for-fun "genre exercises" in contemporary genres. They don't add anything significant to the canons of those genres nor are they deconstructions. They're just for fun.
Top moments:
"R9" does a brilliant job of sound sculpting by juxtaposing various types of sounds in changing ways (backwards, loops, backward loops, classical samples, sound effects, etc.), but sticks a little too close to its classical source material for me. "Helter Skelter" is one of many songs that year that inched the psychedelic blues-rock toward hard rock and/or heavy metal, but is edgy only in parts and comes across as a little disingenuous. "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is a genius Zappa-ish mini-suite. "While My Guitar Gentle Weeps" is one of the most emotionally devastating songs they ever did. "Cry Baby Cry" has some Syd Barrett qualities. "Piggies" cleverly arranges an old folk melody with classical touches and weird sound effects. "Wild Honey Pie" is a bunch of demented screams (not too far off the from the Pixies' cover). "Long Long Long" feels genuine.
Other curiousities:
"Buffalo Bill" is midly amusing in its eccentricity as is "Do It In the Road". "Me and My Monkey" brings some energetic quirkiness and "Rocky Racoon" is a good Dylan parody (John Wesley Harding). "Sexy Sadie" feels emotional.
The rest are those useless genre exercises (part of the second category can count as that too) and the problem is that they take up a whopping 53% of the length. They include some stabs at folk which I find shallow and some others that are, again, just for fun. In terms of structure, the 8 great ones mentioned above are placed well. 3 of the sides have them placed consecutively. Side 1 has 3 of them. They're almost always at or toward the end of the side (side two has only one of them and it's in the middle). So there is slight attempt at some sort of pattern when comparing the sides: lowkey--> more enegery--> the above 8 (except side 1 doesn't have that middle part of the pattern). However, the more banal songs don't give me the feeling of building anything up cumulatively (for the more accomplished songs to extinguish). Also the better songs don't match each other within or across sides.
I generally agree with your points, including which songs are the best on the album.
"The Beatles is essentially a disconnected dream... and somehow this dream is more real than real life itself" Couldn't have summarized the album better myself. The album is overflowing with emotions disguised as (all sorts of) "simple" songs. It's pop music at its purest and finest. It's easy to mistake the album as yet another fun collection of random songs by the Beatles (I used to think that for years) but the fact that Revolution 9 works so well as an avant-garde piece shows how powerful the band (including George Martin who deserves so much credit for this album) had become as composers, arrangers and performers at this point. They could do ANYTHING in their newfound free mindset, so they did it all. Excessive, yes, but so were Trout Mask Replica and Uncle Meat.
Odyssey & Oracle not a pop album either ;-)? Surely it's a 7.5 at least now you seem to be back in a pop album kind of mood. No rating Sgt Peppers' a 10 though, don't make me lose faith after you rated Dirty Beaches so high! :-)
Haha, thanks. Sgt Pepper a 10? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe if I were being payed by Rolling Stone magazine... Don't know about Odyssey and Oracle -- its been too long since I listened to it but I'll try and give it a go soon.
You rated TMR a 9.5, Highway 61, VU & Nico and Doors 9....obviously you ARE being paid by Rolling Stone magazine.
This list is turning out pretty sweet. Your top 5 choices are specially very comprehensive and strong. I think Crazy Rhythms by the Feelies has a good shot at being included here. Also, Underwater Moonlight is one hell of an unassuming album. It took me so many listens to truly reveal its greatness.
I've only heard some of Fleetwood Mac's greatest hits (Tusk has always been a favorite). I'm gonna get Rumours and listen to the whole thing.
Thanks for the reminder to revisit that one. It should probably be on here, but I'll listen to it again soon to be sure.
Throwing some more stuff out there, maybe a bit of a stretch for some...
Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything?
Decemberists - Castaways And Cutouts
Counting Crows -August And Everything After
Feelies - Crazy Rhythms (echoing above statement)
Kinks - Something Else By The Kinks
Peter Gabriel - So
Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday
Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Ultravox - Ultravox!
Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again
Sly And The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On
Talking Heads - "More Songs" or "Remain In Light"
Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
* Gram Parsons -Sleepless Nights
* This is the Grievous Angel album under it's original title before Parson's wife had the cover photo changed and made sure to not include a few songs, both out jealousy over Emmylou Harris' inclusion. Let's presume that "Sleepless Nights" would have been included as track 1 (being the title-track) and that two other songs recorded but excluded would have been excluded anyway ("The Angels Rejoiced in Heaven Last Night" was explicitly rejected by Parsons and "Brand New Heartache" was the worst of 3 Felix/Bryant tunes, an excessive amount, the album being long enough ayway)
Thanks, I'm not sure about Remain in Light or There's a Riot Goin On being pop (though the funk/soul/R & B side of things might allow them on here), but like you said "a stretch". I need to revisit Rundgren, Counting Crows, Kinks, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane and the Gram Parsons. If Jagged Little Pill is "pop" than it already deserves to be added (probably 7.5). I'll revisit it to see whether it's pop or not. I don't think I've heard the rest so I'll check them out.
Yeah man. I guess Remain In Light is pop only in the "fun" sense. And if Jagged Little Pill counts than probably so should Liz Phair eh? Any more Jim Steinman stuff worth checking out? Bat Out Of Hell Part IV: Straight Outta Trenton, New Jersey? On a related note, I ended up rating Odelay much lower than I thought. Just a low 7. I think it's because the Dust Brothers-less stuff ruins the feel.
Updates: I don't quite consider Jagged Little Pill pop. I currently think it's between 7.4 - 7.6/10 though. Maybe if I stretched the definition enough I would (which one could argue I've already done with some other albums on here) ... Probably the same with Exile in Guyville -- though that one is a little bit closer call as a pop album imo. I'd probably rate it 7.3 or 7.4ish... Also I relistened to Younger than Yesterday and thought it might be a 7, but currently in the 6.5 range for me. I'll have to check out Odelay again. Been awhile on that one. I'd recommend Solex's Low Kick and Hard Bop, which seems influenced by it but is probably even better.
Also, to an earlier recommendation from some others, or maybe it was only cuki luvz u: I relistened to Odyssey and Oracle and found it to be probably under 7/10 -- probably in the 6/10 range for me.
Haha re: Steinman... Bat Out of Hell IV? Is Jay-Z featured? I thought 1 was enough. The first one is pretty awesome as far as Olympian/pop/rock/melodrama goes.
BOOH 4 - featuring cosmic sound effects representing the "whoosh" sound as Meatloaf enters and exits hell.
I've got to admit it's getting better. A little better.
Thanks, I don't doubt it re: The Who. I'll have to revisit it. This list is very much in-progress and wasn't meant to be a complete representation. It's more a matter of me listening (for the first time), or re-listening, to the albums. There's many Scaruffi 7's and 7.5's I haven't heard and there's a good chance they'd be represented here if they're pop, just based on the probability of me agreeing with him as I often do.
Listen to Goodbye Lullaby by Avril Lavigne? I could see you liking the song Goodbye actually, but mostly I just want to see you write a detailed pretentious essay on it.
Pretentious essay + Avril Lavigne sounds like an amazing combo indeed :-)
I listened to Goodbye + the first track and a half and, unless the album changes dramatically from there, it's just not my kind of music. As it isn't aligned with my criteria (and not even supposed to/trying to be), whatever I have to say about it would be inconsequential/worthless. She's pretty smokin' though is about all I have to say about it :-)
"She's pretty smokin' though" I'd have to politely disagree with you on that ;)
By the way, how is it not aligned with your criteria? Are you saying the emotions in the music in the fake and there's no ingenuity in the production?
What are you referring to? This comment is in the middle of nowhere...
You listened to a few tracks of Goodbye Lullaby and said that you weren't going listen further because the music isn't aligned with your criteria.
The emotions in it may be very real to her but I don't remember their expression being particularly extraordinary. The tracks I heard sounded pretty generic and didn't stand out relative to the works that match my criteria.
You should check out XTC's 'Skylarking' at some point. It may well be the psychedelic pop masterpiece of the '80s.
This Year's Model is really fun. "Pump It Up" is probably one of my favorite pop tracks from the 70s.
Seeing Dookie here is kind of a surprise, though I completely agree with you about its quality! What are your favourite tracks? I think the whole first half (till Basket Case) is pretty great, (especially from Chump till Welcome to Paradise) and the second half is mostly okay (When I Come Around and FOD are probably the highlights of that portion).
I think it's a very consistent pop-punk album. Really not sure what my favorite track is -- they're all good. Maybe Basket Case and Welcome to Paradise? If someone were to claim its an all time masterpiece I would recommend they listen to Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables (which is every bit as catchy but obliterates Dookie) and Ramones' debut and either of The Replacements best albums. Those are clear (and far superior) influences.
Completely agree with you about the influences, which reminds me that I need to re-listen to them all soon!
Nice! I'll be interested to see if they jump onto your list! I too need to revisit the Ramones and Replacements -- probably 3 or 4 albums between them with an excellent shot at an upgrade to 7.8+.
What would you rate Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller?
Nice list as usual, but I'm sort of curious why you're including hip-hop with pop. They seem like pretty dissimlar genres, even though hip-hop has had a steady presence on the American Top 40 charts for quite some time now. I'm guessing "pop" means music primarily driven by strong melodies, but artists like Public Enemy and Cannibal Ox are far from melodic.
Just because most hip hop is driven by insistent, repetitive verse-chorus-verses, tending to be based in similar structures as pop music. Also because hip hop and R and B seemingly have very few albums above 7.8+ and I thought this was a good list to include those genres' best works.
Don't you think Cyclops Nuclear Submarine Captain should be included here?
Ill be revisiting it soon but, from memory, no more than a Frank Zappa album.

I have too many books, too little space, and too much furniture. So this library cart looked promising. So far I am pleased. It is sturdy enough for lots of books, can be pushed out of the way. It is totally worth the price. There was a cheaper one but a review said it wasn't as sturdy. I'm glad that I got the one.

Students partner with local organizations to exhibit their work
For decades, students in CIA's design majors have been serving internships with manufacturers and design consultancies, and, in the process, making helpful contacts and gaining valuable professional experience before graduation.
With notable exceptions, students pursuing visual arts generally have not had access to comparable internship experiences. Until now.
Thanks to a grant from the Fenn Educational Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, and some smart thinking by faculty and staff members, CIA this year facilitated Creativity Works, a program of self-initiated internship experiences for students looking forward to careers as visual artists.
The result: five juniors lined up community organizations as internship hosts, wrote...continue reading

27 year old woman | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking men 24-30 within 25 miles
Turns out, not all men are created equal.
Well, first things first...I am an ICU nurse and currently work 3-4 12-hour night shifts per week. Working nights makes it difficult to have a social life and even harder to meet guys and keep relationships. I'm fairly new here and so excited to finally be an Austin resident! Looking forward to exploring this amazing city and seeing what exciting things it brings! I love anything outdoors and I could spend every weekend out on the river, lake, or beach. My idea of a good time would be having a bar-b-que and watching a game with friends, sitting around a bonfire, or even just drinking beer on the patio...anything that involves the outdoors and the beautiful Texas sunshine :). I love going to concerts,shows,music festivals, etc. and I love any and all kinds of music. I've been to shows ranging from Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack and Deftones to EDM festivals such as Nocturnal, Dayglow, Euphoria, Global Dubstep at Red Rocks in Colorado, and EDC Las Vegas. I have been to small Indie/folk shows like William Fitzsimmons, Noah Gundersen and David Ramirez to big festivals like ACL. I also really love sports and love watching or going to games, especially football and hockey, and I hate to break it to you Texas boys but I'm a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins fan :) I absolutely love pugs, have an obsession with Starbucks iced coffee, and am the worst night owl ever (due to working 12 hour night shifts.) I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll with a hippie/Bohemian style and I totally embrace my nerdy side. My 2 sisters are my best friends in the world and my parents are amazing...family is extremely important to me. If you have made it this far through my rambling, congratulations haha. Overall, I think I am a really fun, laid-back girl who is looking for someone who is also laid-back, smart, kind, driven, likes to have fun, and makes me laugh :) I try not to take life too seriously and it really takes a lot to make me mad. I know it's cliche, but I really am looking for my best friend, a guy I can completely be myself around.

Raw score: 76%
Your morals could sink a bit further, sure, but it's likely that you've got a pretty good idea of what you're into and what you would do...above all you're honest with yourself with what you want. If more people were honest with themselves, you'd have a lot more company down in the flames.

God dammit I love these two. I even love them when they're fighting or being stupid. This was my last chapter to read in connection to the story and I'm seriously having to hold in a crap load of tears. I'm going to miss them.

Haha, I have been dying to know what Charlie said to Lily's little boyfriends. That was amazing! And thank you. I needed the laugh. :)
| TheTofurkey chapter 14 . 2/16/2013
Charlie! And SUE! This moment was bittersweet. I'm so happy for the two of them, and I'm thrilled to read more about Sue!
| TheTofurkey chapter 13 . 2/16/2013
Everything she says is so heartbreaking! I don't know if my heart can take much more angst. I'm so glad you gave this story a happy ending, because otherwise I'd be devastated.
| TheTofurkey chapter 12 . 2/16/2013
Even though I know this ends well, I'm still anxious! I just want Edward to hurry up and get there so that he can save the day and make everything better.
| TheTofurkey chapter 11 . 2/16/2013
When she said she tried to as strong as a superhero or Uncle Em I wanted to cry. That is so sweet. And you know that would totally make Emmett bawl.
| TheTofurkey chapter 10 . 2/16/2013
CHARLIE. I adore your Charlie, he's perfectly imperfect and always makes me emotional. Another phenomenal outtake. I am so dreading the end.
| TheTofurkey chapter 9 . 2/15/2013
This really is just HEARTBREAKING. For Victoria to do such a thing, she must have felt completely helpless and desperate. And then for it only to work on Abby? Oh my god, I cringed. And then I wanted to cry for her, because that was probably the worst possible outcome (other than only Victoria dying and Abby being left alone with James).
I'm glad they were finally able to be at peace.
| TheTofurkey chapter 8 . 2/15/2013
This is truly heartbreaking. I feel for Victoria and her daughter. I wish relationships like this were completely fiction.
| TheTofurkey chapter 7 . 2/15/2013
This is so sad. And yet I feel compelled to satisfy my gross curiosity. I am fascinated by this! It makes me feel even worse for poor Victoria.
