kate campbell: “i generally believe most of life is living with loss”

words in edgeways with kate campbell Drawing deep from the well of Southern culture and history, Mississippi-raised Kate Campbell’s warm, wry and incisive songs tell vivid stories rooted in the past and present of her native South. Across the twelve albums she’s recorded since her 1995 debut Songs From The Levee, Campbell has explored a variety of musical styles and issues ranging from Civil Rights to spiritual enlightenment, avoiding didacticism or dogma to concentrate instead upon the lives

A Temporary Loss of Certainty

With a rash of international fixtures about to wreak havoc again this weekend, I couldn’t resist in alienating a bunch of WSD listeners with my first official club rankings report.  Before I get to the bottom line, I just witnessed an abject tragedy when I encountered an NFL Network commercial that used Morrissey’s Every Day is Like Sunday as its inspiring soundtrack.  What in God’s good name could be next - the Women’s Professional Soccer league using Girlfriend in a Coma?  Only a sane mind an

MyBo: details about Obama campaign’s network strategy

Lessig warns that if Obama wins but doesn’t govern according to principles of openness and change, as promised, supporters may not be so interested in serving as MyBO foot soldiers in 2012. “The thing they [the Obama camp] don’t quite recognize is how much of their enormous support comes from the perception that this is someone different,” Lessig says. “If they behave like everyone else, how much will that stanch the passion of his support?” Three items to illustrate the above. First, do chec

White American culture

Tue 18 Nov 2008 2000s, America, White America, white people   White American culture is the common culture, the common ways and set of understandings, of white Americans. For the most part it is the same thing as Anglo-American culture, which takes in English-speaking Canada. White people in America are all different. They have different experiences and backgrounds, they think and act for themselves. They are not living stereotypes or slaves to their culture. But that said, most whites still

Humpty Dumpty Double Speak

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all." Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass By Scoti Springfield Domeij I enjoy the humor of language. Oxymorons—oxy means sharp, moron means dull—combines incongruous or contradictory terms. Take fo

Paul’s Court Hears the Case of Sepsis v. Dildo

In his own words… This story is about an event that happened to me in the hospital after becoming paralyzed.  It is 100% factual.  I pull no punches and tell it exactly like it happened. After I was paralyzed I spend the first week in the neurology department of the hospital.  They kept my body at a temperature that was almost hypothermic to help reduce swelling in my spinal cord in an attempt to lessen the damage being done to my body.  At the time it as experimental, but now it’s the standard.

Jennifer on Vogue

With two great new roles and a body that won’t quit, Jennifer Aniston is reinventing what it means to be 40 and female in Hollywood. By Jonathan Van Meter. Photographed by Craig McDean. Here she comes, in faded cutoffs and a tank top. Has there ever been a more casual star? A more unrepentant Southern California girl? I am standing in the midst of the dust and chaos—the clattering hammers, the buzzing saws—of the massive construction project that is Jennifer Aniston’s sprawling new Beverly

How About A Meme?

1. My uncle once: I have a ton of uncles which one? One had a brain tumor, some have fought in wars -Korea -Vietnam, others were farmers, one had schizophrenia. 2. Never in my life have I: Well I made a list a few months ago. You might remember. 3. When I was five my parents took me: I should say attempted to take me to the circus and my dad forgot the tickets and didn't realize it until we got all the way there. I remember the ordeal about forgetting the tickets and the circus, but not actua

Monday editorials and Viewpoints

Editorial: DISD trustees should postpone extending terms We're open to Dallas school trustees being elected to four-year terms. The school board, however, isn't grasping the public's frustration with the district by pressing in this climate for an extension. We suspect many Dallasites will view the request like General Motors' directors asking for an extension of their terms. Like GM, DISD's credibility is rock-bottom low. Editorial: Reasonable parole limits Texas' parole system regarding s

Frightened Rabbit - ClashMusic.com Q

Selkirk's favourite sons speak out Frightened Rabbit’s ‘The Midnight Organ Fight’ is one of the best albums to emerge from domestic shores in 2008 – seeped in deep melancholy yet resonating with powerful pop instincts, it’s an under-the-radar indie hit just a breakthrough short of massive exposure. The Scottish outfit are seeing 2008 to its close with a series of high-profile support dates with both Death Cab For Cutie and fellow countrymen Biffy Clyro; if their ascendancy continues at its pre

Tragic Death Of 13 Hottest Celebrity

Death, like taxes, is one of the few guarantees in life. There will come a day when the Grim Reaper turns up like a bad host of a terrible reality show and says to you, “It’s time to go [insert name].” Death is at its most tragic when it visits at an early age, when the person is young, beautiful and has everything to live for. These 13 ladies, whose lives were tragically cut short will always be remembered because they were hot and “a thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez :

Call Me Simple

Call me simple, but I just can’t understand why I have to pay the banks’ losses but I don’t get a share of their profits. I know that the music business is very profitable, but I am still cautious about investing in CDs. I am sorry to admit it, but I may have been wrong.  George W. Bush may not be the worst possible president after all. Michelle Obama must be very smart.  They say she “earns” $370,000 a year. More clues from the radio news about the way we are now: I learned the other day t
