Pandora is the greatest web service/mobile app ever.
Discuss.
Or whatever you want to talk about, like water polo.
EDIT: This is fucked up: Berkeley, CA Police Chief sent one of his Sergeants to the home of a local reporter to request changes to a story.
Minutes after reading a late-night news story online about him that he perceived to be inaccurate, Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan ordered a sergeant to a reporter’s home insisting on changes, a move First Amendment experts said reeked of intimidation and attempted censorship.
Meehans’s actions were “despicable, totally despicable,” said Jim Ewert, general counsel of the California Newspaper Publisher’s Association. “It’s the most intimidating type of (censorship) possible because the person trying to exercise it carries a gun.”
Bay Area News Group reporter Doug Oakley said he was shaken by the 12:45 a.m. Friday knock on the door of his Berkeley home. He said at first he and his wife thought something was drastically wrong or perhaps that a relative had died.
Meehan apologized Friday.
When I was a kid, and through most of the 1990s, Berkeley was like the haven for hippiedom. A couple of months ago Oakland PD rolls up on a bunch of peaceful protesters and beats the hell out of them and damn near kills a couple, and now this? What the fuck is going on in the SF Bay Area?

@Little Boots: I am, of course.
Little Boots
oh, well, you’re awesome.
reflectionephemeral
Well Grooveshark is pretty awesome too.
Am listening to “The Boston Monkey” by Otis right now.
But yes, Pandora is very very good. They play me songs that I had never heard before, which I can then listen to whenever I like on Grooveshark (including on my phone, thanks to the Xmas present my brother got me). Spotify reportedly improves on Grooveshark, but I have like 100 playlists saved already, so I haven’t made the switch.

I’ve decided Spotify annoys me. And I don’t even use it.

@Little Boots: Well, thanks.
If you were wanting a more descriptive answer than “I am” I’ll start by telling you that only God got away with that answer, if you believe that sort of thing.
As for me, I live in Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma, home of the Sooners, and for 21 years in the regular Army and the Army Guard I was an Infantry Soldier, aka a grunt.
I blog about Veterans issues, and military issues, when I bother to actually stick to anything approximating a theme. Mostly I blog about random things that interest me.
I am the slow child of the front pagers, so mind the drool.

So do we have any legal eagles who would like to disabuse me of the thought that just shutting your mouth at a DUI checkpoint actually works? Not that I would have to worry about such things. But, growing up in the South, somehow I figured the cops would just find a reason.
Also, too, may I recommend the ‘Ball and Biscuit’ channel on Pandora. My flavor has lots of Betty Davis, which is always nice.

Can’t put a finger on it myself but agree it’s not the old vibe. Don’t think it’s going out on a limb to note that the commingling of the haves and have-nots is stark to the point of being over-the-top and the cops’ actions are a proxy for how the haves are flexing their influence muscles.

I get what you’re saying, but please hear me out: I really enjoy working in that stark black/white mode with a bit of shading…which might make it seem challenging to portray black people, UNTIL one considers that “white” people are not “white” either, but all kinds of shades of tan/brown/beige/auburn, you name it.
So in this series, in which almost everyone (I cheated on Grace Jones and Dionne Warwick, and I think those pieces suffer for it) is portrayed with the white canvas surface as their skin color, I’m eliminating skin color altogether and focusing on features/lines/hair shape to portray the subject. And what could be more racially unifying than that? :D

I edited my original comment but time ran out and it didn’t save. My point, I think was that with the image you have, it’s straight up black and white. Rove is a POS, but the strategy of claiming your enemy’s strengths and portraying your own weaknesses as strengths is something that shouldn’t be ignored. SO while the right tears their head off about “not-President Blacky McBlackdark tongue-click son of Mohammed Black Panther reversed-racist Obama X Nig-CLANG!”, I think that a graphic portrayal of our guy shouldn’t be overly white-washed in its contrast. It should say, instinctively, something like “You’re goddamned right, I’m a black man. Guess what? Let me be clear, I. am. SANE!”
That’s it.
