Obama may have capitulated on the economy 100% to far-right tea party Republican ideas which have collapsed the stock market, our credit rating, our economy for the first 6 months of 2011, and soon to be our future, but at least he has the sense not to listen to their nonsense on social issues. Because as idiotic, immoral, and foolishly reckless the know-nothings in the GOP tea party base are on economics, science, and basic common sense, you throw a little god in there and they get far, far worse. Some hatred for women on top of it and wow, [...]

Giulio DJ aka. Julian Horn started his career DJ'ing in Vienna around eight years ago, bringing his love for authentic disco, balearic beats and cosmic leftfield sounds to the plates of many locals.

Julian started producing around five years ago and moved to London last year to study Sound Engineering at a college and has finally reached manhood, searching for full time work in this field. [...]
Much has been made of the birth control pill's revolution from the perspective of allowing women the choice to become a mother, or enter the workforce and delay marriage/childbirth, engage in recreational sex, etc. But little has been mentioned of the changes the pill brought to regulatory science. "Many of the steps that underlie modern drug approvals — extensive clinical trials, routine referrals to panels of outside experts, continuing assessments of a medicine's safety, and direct communications between the F.D.A. and patients — were pioneered to deal with evolving concerns about the pill's safety," writes [...]
The acceptable answer to the question is a condom, but the judges have decided they would also accept "pull and pray." I won't suggest we reinstitute Hammurabi's Code, but shouldn't the court, at the very least, force this guy into having a vasectomy? "Desmond Hatchett, a 29 year old who lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, has fathered 20 (maybe 21) children with at least 11 different mothers. The kids, who are between 11 months and 11 years old, require food, clothing, etc. which doesn't come cheap. That's a problem for their minimum-wage earning father." "I [...]
The world is now a DEVO song, and so Warner has just reissued two vital early DEVO album barely containing some of the most annihilating reality ever twined into vinyl. And so L.A. RECORD 's Dan Collins reissues this vintage interview with Mark Mothersbaugh from the archives of the defunct Ostrich Ink . DEVO will perform Freedom Of Choice at the Fonda tonight.
TUCUMAN ARDE: COUNTER INFORMATION AND THE CREATION OF AESTHETIC AND CULTURAL MILITANCY If there is one thing in my short visit on this planet has taught me, is that the relationship between art and politics is a pretty much a hot mess on your chest. Some would say that without politics there can be no art, and others would take the vice-a-verse stance and tell you that without art - politics would suffer as well. I find that art and artists that wear the skin of the liberal activist are amongst some of the most [...]
Hello Dears, Ivyy here with a column you've all been waiting for: birth control!!! Yes yes, I know. I just heard the sound of my millions of readers groaning. "But Ivyy!" you say. "We're adults, man! We know all about birth control!" All I have to say, millions of readers, is, oh really? Are you sure? And furthermore, are you the only one reading my column? Won't you think of my young readers, my young impressionable readers who don't know and feel uncomfortable asking and are just really very impressionable and innocent? Think of THE CHILDREN, [...]
From the Phlog : Ladies: in case you've ever watched those ridiculously annoying tampon commercials, and wondered WTF was up with the obnoxiously happy women with their periods salsa dancing and kickboxing, and what is that blue liquid they always use, Sarah Haskins can commiserate. Haskins, a former improv actress who went to Harvard (so that makes her kinda, sorta affiliated with Boston), writes for a show called infoMania, on the Al Gore-helmed indie media company Current TV , and she's got a regular segment called Target:Women . In said segment, Haskins observes, [...]

Je suis snob, je n'y peux rien. On me demande: tu aimes Jeff Buckley? Je réponds: bof, je préfère son père. Ça ne s'est pas arrangé depuis que j'écris sur un blog. Prenez les Doors, il est de bon ton d'écrire: bon bah la musique, c'est pas mal, mais les paroles de Jim Morrisson, c'est vraiment n'importe quoi. Le vrai snob trouverait à redire, trouvant qu'il y a des choses à sauver. Pas moi, parce que je me contrefous des Doors. Je ne suis donc pas complètement irrécupérable. C'est juste que j'ai eu le malheur d'avoir 16 ans au moment [...]
