hipster.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

I've just been discovering Wilco; the opening track from A Ghost Is Born is pretty sweet, although the solo is "scripted." That's 2004.

Spoon's "Don't Make Me A Target" from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007). I dunno...

It's 2003 so a little before but most of Do Make Say Think's Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn is good for rocking out. If you have a chance to see them live do so - awesome 2 hour set.

But maybe an adjective other than "rocking" is in order.

why does a solo have to be improvised to be affective?

Never said it did, I just think that's a cool aspect of the album. I don't know if pete would care.

Fuck Forever - by Babyshambles
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.
