Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41am Uncle Michael:

People aren't prepared to deal with the fact that our culture has marginalized and oppressed many people to the point of frustration that culminates in rage. That rage terrifies people because they know that it can, and perhaps even *should be* directed at *them*. It's hard to distance ones' self from the discomfiture that comes from seeing how close to a brink we are and how culpable we are.

When criminals kill each other, that evokes none of that stuff. Much as has been noted for so long; that black on black crime barely gets attention (bloods and crips killing each other over turf...so what?) Other than for the sake of spectacle and a few news cycles, nobody really gives a shit about biker gangs killing each other. *we* are not implicated...or particularly at risk.

The handwringing over the comparative coverage relies on a lot of false equivalency, in my opinion.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:50am Uncle Michael:

"That is what those people do" is a great way to shield one's self from examining one's own role in creating the conditions that are being raged against. I saw a lot of the same reaction you describe...from right wing mouthpieces with an agenda. I also saw a lot of recognition that the protests were almost entirely peaceful, that the police overreacted and that there are always a few knuckleheads...who were very possibly provocateurs. Somehow I'm able to recognize that from my distant perch...so the message is a bit more complex than "that's what those people do."

I still haven't fully cleaned out the layer of mental filth I built up after reading Hunter S. Thompson's book.

Holy crappers, I have this Joe Gibbs comp. I got it in Miami b/c I was disappointed I couldn't find any music in Jamaica NYE 2000.

I gave my friend a flat little human figure carved out of bone (cow bone? More cow bone!) to bury for a few hours in the Ocracoke sand in some frivolous-ritualistic-vicarious-vagabondy-gesture-as-shore-souvenir concept. She agreed, with the warning that she might not remember to dig it back up and carry it home.

Animal label logos are great - one of the best being the Filet-of-Soul label with the fish skeleton logo

Always appreciate hearing vintage reggae. I'm in the process of downloading what will turn out to be about 11,500 A and B sides of vintage reggae from Usenet (which isn't well known these days). They will wind their way towards our dear host eventually.

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael is a cool uncle. Not the creepy kind who pulls quarters out of your ear while putting his hand on your butt. He's the kind of uncle who gives you your first joint and tells you your parents are uptight. He also does a slamming radio show. It's up next here on the Drummer Stream. Playlist page here: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:33am Doug Schulkind:

SO many rare and brilliant vintage reggae tracks in your dear host's collection have come from Listener Hugo. It's fairly miraculous, actually.

He's the uncle flipping through the LPs in the back of the Salvation Army. OH WAIT! I'M THAT UNCLE!

I bought a 25 cent thrift store LP the other day -- someone else doing Glenn Miller tunes. I bought it for one reason: the vinyl is yellow.

Hi. Been quiet this morning, but listening. Thought that was a score -- Doug 1, Listeners 0. Was gonna say it seems kind of the opposite, unless you take the view that everyone wins when Doug's on.

Hugo you might be interested in this Viv programme from a few years ago.

Hug 'n Dugo...the really out-there musical pair to be featured in a Mighty Wind sequel.

An apropos though out-of-period number for the gif scene, given the conductor's mien, might be Quentin's Theme from Dark Shadows, but it would leave most of the orchestra idle.

Brian: I downloaded a BBC programme about Viv, but I'm not sure if it was this one. I don't think Stephen Fry was in it. Of course, I do have the various installations of Sir Henry at Rawlinson End from the John Peel sessions on radio 1.
