That was a sweet idea and then I thought about all the people hugging their laptop webcams and whatnot and the internet became depressing again.

It never stopped being depressing.

Of course the REAL question is whether or not Chia Obama is racist.

I can't take the GOP seriously until somebody like Jon Huntsman or Gary Johnson is a frontrunner.
-
I think I'm going to register as a Republican so I can vote for Huntsman in the primary, he seems totally reasonable.
-
I had this conversation last night but I'm glad Herman Cain is out because every time I heard, or saw his name, I thought of Sutter Cane. So, if he fades away into obscurity we're no longer giving power to the unimaginable creatures waiting to destroy our world.

He's not totally reasonable. Flat tax? Not a good idea. Even worse, he claims to have installed the flat tax in Utah, which does not exist. It's closer to a flat tax that most places in the US, but not actually a flat tax. He's probably got plenty of other dumb beliefs and stuff. -
He's not perfect, but for the Republican candidate I don't mind him. I wish I could say something more positive of a candidate than I don't mind him. I would only be voting for him in the primary, the actual presidential election is something that is still up in the air for me, if I vote at all. I hate Duverger's law.
-
The thing is, we only see Huntsman as an okay guy because his competition is so absolutely fucking insane. He's up against the likes of Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Romney, formerly Cain, Paul, etc. I mean, he's relatively okay, I agree, but he's still an asshole.
-
At least as the former ambassador to China he knows that they have nuclear weapons, unlike Cain.

There is no such thing as too much dubstep. Telling lies about weiner dog races should be criminal.
-
I don't like dubstep because of what it has brought us: thousands of annoying twenty-somethings who are now "musicians."
"Oh, I make music."
"Really? Cool. Which instruments do you play?"
"Well, I don't really play instruments. Though I know some keyboard."
"Huh?"
"I make dubstep. You should buy my album on iTunes. It's only 20 bucks for my first five tracks."
"How long have you been making music?"
"Well, I'm not technically making any right now because the trial for my program ran out." -
Clearly you need to be welcomed to Jurassic Park. It's drumstep, but it's close enough.
-
Why is every fucking dubstep track several sound clips, repeated, with one of several transitions between them, and one of several dub loops? You could make dubstep with an algorithm applied to any sound clip.
-
what's dubstep? seriously, I don't know.
-
Lots of wobble bass. The Urban Dictionary describes it as, "A genre which is filthier than fingering your sister and finding your Dad's wedding ring." By the way, this is now how I describe anything bad.
A better answer, also from Urban Dictionary, "Dubstep is music centred around bass. It draws on many musical influences. Such influences include dub, reggae, d'n'b, jungle, UK garage, grime, techno and IDM. Usually around 140bpm in tempo, the unifying sounds within dubstep are always bass and sub-bass. The music ranges in style from melodious instrumentals to dark, techy and distorted numbers. Many UK grime mc's also mc over dubstep tracks, although grime and dubstep should not be confused. Dubstep is usually mellow and generally has a well paced structure to each song. Grime beats are generally more disjointed, the overall production level being grittier than that in dubstep." -
In other words it's like someone heard those jokes about "uhn-tiss" music and decided that it needed to be an actual thing.

The world is better for it.

Some dubstep is really decent.
(your definition of decent may vary from my own) -
The first one just makes me want to listen to the actual Foster the People song.
I couldn't make it past :40 in the second one. -
You are a bad person, the second one is great.
-
I haven't liked anything from Skrillex which I have heard. I'd love for someone to suggest something I end up enjoying.
-
Better than that noise.
Dubstep is a scary little fad. -
If you don't enjoy techno in any of its various forms then your not going to like dubstep. Just be glad people aren't posting gabber.
edit: added my personal favorite

Here's what dubstep is: You know that part in the A-ha song "Take On Me" where there's a missing drum beat in the chorus? Use that drum pattern on EVERY SONG. Also the music itself is just generic ass club drum 'n bass. But you know, with that Take On Me pattern over and over.

THE CHALLENGE -
"Dubstep" seems like an unnecessary reclassification of "dance." Insufficient difference between forms of electronic music to justify all this verbiage.

Like I say, the only difference between dubstep and drum 'n bass is that beat pattern. It's just like all the other mutations of dnb like techstep and darkstep and all the million other *steps that were super popular in the late '90s. Dubstep has also been around since the late '90s, but for some reason unknown to me, in the last year it has become a huge fad. I don't get why.
Really, this is still drum 'n bass. And while as an electronic musician myself and could totally be a snob about this shit, when you get down to it, there's really on a few different major styles of electronic music. House, techno, industrial, new wave/synth pop, and drum 'n bass, and I guess, grudgingly, I'll say trance. All the other 50 billion other electronic genres that wikipedia so loves to catalog are really just combinations of or slight mutations of these things. There hasn't been any kind of real innovation in electronic music in a long time, as evidenced by the last decade's nostalgic resurrection of new wave/synth pop and, you know, chiptunes. -
I only like vocal trance.

The second was totally played at the bar tonight. Though so was 30 straight minutes of Journey thanks to my incredibly drunk roommate.

Rather than just go straight up screen caps for the review I just finished, I went ahead and did a little bit of photoshopping. You can check out the review here. http://orion-prime.blogspot.com/2011/12/bruce-wayne-ceo-scientist-vampire.html
