Evening Reading
- Skype phones without a PC
- Lockheed doing new shuttle
- Robot tunes :(
- Pluto fighting back
- Morphing buildings
- Just close your eyes and it will all go away
Lastly, that Team Fortress 2 trailer makes me giggle. The TF2 teaser from earlier was pretty hot too. Those are the first game trailers I've actually kept on my desktop to watch again later in probably a couple of years. I'm old.

No, it's music. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not music. It just means you don't like it.
I don't like certain genres but I would never be so indefensibly elitist as to say they're not music.
But the funny thing about some people who particularly hate rap is that there often seems to be a certain subtext to the hatred. Like it goes deeper than just not liking the music. Interesting.-

Well well, knew we'd see one of these posts. I don't consider myself elitest by any means, I like a lot of odd music to say the least. I'm glad you see it as music, but I don't. This has no basis on what I think of rappers etc. I know you're trying to insinuate I'm racist, which is very cute of you, but no dice. I just don't see any qualities of music in it, but that's me. I don't look down on people for liking it, I just don't. Simply put.

If it's got notes (regardless of how those notes are broadcast) how is it not music? Never mind whatever vocals are over top of it--singing, rapping, screaming, whatever. Clearly, the collection of strung together notes still fits any definition of the word "music."
Which is why I don't understand the criticism of rap that it isn't music. Does this mean that accapella singing isn't music because there are no notes, just voices? What's the definition here?
I just think many people who criticize rap get lazy and say "rap isn't music" when clearly what they mean--unless they mean something else--is that they "don't like rap." But such critics evidently feel a need to get in some kind of extra dig by levelling the "ultimate insult"--that it's "not music." In fact, raising an issue of whether or not it's music is a non sequitor.
(And the irony? I don't actually listen to rap except incidentally/occasionally. My own tastes lie elsewhere.)

All American Rejects is responsible for probably one of the poorest album in my collection. The lead singer just reaffirms my pure hatred of them, and everything they ever created.
shakira was pretty hot-
