What's with all the Losing today postings... I'm interested and all but why do
they keep posting...

Anyway here I am in Chicago in an apartment with no AC... It's hot and humid...
damn hot...  I guess not as hot as texas though.... anyway last night... I'm
rolling around in bed and my sheets are soaked and I don't want any part of me
to touch any other part of me because it's uncomfortable... So I fall asleep and
wake up every two hours... Go to the fridge grab out a bottle of water that I've
been letting accumalate the essence of cold in the freezer... oh and it is
SOOOOOO cold... pure bliss... stand in front of the fridge with the doors open
and let that wonderful chemical frozen wash over me... can't sleep so I go to
our back porch and sit on the couch...  It seems like everbodies up tonight...
the city is loud and lights are on in apartments everywhere... voices and cars
are echoing in between the buildings... I put on some Slowdive and lay back and
just listen... Everything is sticking to me... I just sweat... The air is thick
and heavy... It's all blue and purple... and lights everywhere are twinkling
cause of the heat...  And somwhere in the middle of Melon Yellow I finally fall
asleep.

i believe the release date is the 28th (next tue)...maybe it was pushed up, or
i heard wrong...i got my copy (with the bar code marked through) from caroline
last week (along with a 12" vinyl sampler) for my radio show, which i'll be
kicking off this week with 3 or 4 tracks from *owl*...later on, i hope to play
the "down" remix back-to-back with "crazy for you" so people can hear the
similarities...i know alan from low is a slowdive fan, and i think his
favorite album of theirs might be *just for a day*, but don't quote me...

that wasn't my point!  i did not say that all male musicians/musical figures
were labelled geniuses.  i said that the press or music fans are much more
easily extend that label to men than to women.  right now i cannot think of
one woman commonly considered a musical genius.

please don't caricature my argument by making it universal -- i never said
that all men this, or all women that... rather it happens to be the case
that women musician's sexuality are SO MUCH more often considered as a part
of their worth than the opposite case.  it just seems so self-evident to me.

> When do someone's comments *don't* have a place? Who decides this? And
> Why?  This whole subject is rather infuriating...

the very fact that we have something called "tact" and "proper manners"
shows that we do indeed feel that some comments don't have a place.  (in
given situations of course.)  infuriating?  yes, it infuriates me every time
i think about how when my dj friend elise goes shopping for used turntables,
all she gets are smug smiles and chuckles or gets hit on.  fuck that!
