Winner's History of Rock and Roll

stavrosthewonderchicken — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:40:33 -0800

Grantland's Steven Hyden writes the winner's history of rock and roll, in four parts (so far), and charts the death of rock music as a major pop-cultural force in the 21st century by looking at some (not necessarily well-loved) bands that helped to transform it into a Big Business: Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith (and coming up in the next installment, Metallica). Rock isn't dead, by any means. But for better or worse, it ain't what it used to be.

"Although IMDb warns that short descriptions of less than ten lines may not be adequately detailed, I believe that a longer description is probably not reasonably possible. I think I have included everything that bears mentioning." Andy Warhol's Eat. Also Kiss. Also Sleep.

The Navy's first kiss tradition enters the post Don't Ask, Don't Tell era If you're like me you may never have heard of the Navy's first kiss tradition. But it's not unusual for a ship returning from deployment to run a contest or raffle which gives the winner the first kiss with their sweetie on the dock; you can find wikipedia media showing past events. After tonight's news broadcasts pretty much everyone in the country will have heard of it because you can be sure, whether it's portrayed as a step forward or a sign of the end times, every broadcast is going to lead with the first same-sex Navy first kiss between disembarking Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta and her girlfriend, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell of Los Angeles.

People, Let Me Get This Off My Chest is a 65 minute compilation of stage banter by Paul Stanley of KISS. Paul repeatedly reminds the Army that they’re getting their money’s worth... , that the next tune is the first time they’ve played it on tour, that he was talking backstage to someone... about what kind of alcohol that people in the area like to drink, that they’re just getting started, and that he’s got an “uzi of ooze” in his pants.

The Man With the Golden Ear

CosmicRayCharles — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 10:43:53 -0800

Rock impresario Don Kirshner has died in Boca Raton, Florida at age 76. Starting out in the Brill Building era, Kirshner went from a budding wanna-be songwriter with Bobby Darin to managing many of the era's best songwriters. He was also largely responsible for much music of two 60/70s bubblegum staples, the Monkees and the Archies. He's probably best remembered for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, which showcased some of the biggest musical acts of the 1970s, and kept many a teenager (including myself) home on Saturday night.

Kissing Edith Goodbye

Edith Shain has died. She was 92. She worked at Doctor's Hospital in New York City during World War II, but you probably only knew her as an anonymous nurse. In the 1970s, Shain wrote to Alfred Eisenstaedt, claiming to be the nurse in the picture. The search for the sailor was much more difficult--eleven men claimed to be the one in the photograph, but in 2007 a forensic artist at the Houston Police Department determined Glenn McDuffie was the sailor.

zarq — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:14:19 -0800

From 1980 - 1988, a science education series called 3-2-1 Contact ran on PBS. Produced by Children's Television Workshop, the series was geared toward an older audience than other popular CTW offerings Sesame Street and The Electric Company, and focused on teaching kids about science, math and the world around them. 3-2-1 Contact was actually an American rework of an Australian series called The Curiosity Show. In all, 225 episodes and 8 specials were produced. The specials covered topics like "The Truth About Your Brain on Drugs" and "What Kids Want to Know About Sex and Growing Up." Episode Guides. A few clips: Light-Dark: Behind the Scenes at a KISS Concert / Noisy-Quiet: Music (Starring Suzanne Ciani) / Growth-Decay: Ultrasound/Child Birth / Pacemaker / Architecture / Tribal Life in Botswana / Digestion / Ergonomics / Arctic - Antarctic / Tennis Lessons from Arthur Ashe / Communication: Part I and Part II, and The Bloodhound Gang, which featured teen detectives who solved crimes using science. Songs: Mammal Gospel / Living on the Edge / Endangered / Jeepers Creepers / You Are A Scientist. There are additional videos embedded in the first link of this FPP, including one with Sarah Jessica Parker and Sandy the dog, from Annie. Clip from the first episode, showing how the opening theme was recorded / The intro's visuals evolved over the years. Towards the end of the show's run, one of its hosts was David Quinn, founder of allrecipes.com, who is now a high school teacher in Edmonds, WA. Original cast member Ginny Ortiz is now an acting teacher and coach in NYC. The show also gave rise to a spinoff: 3-2-1 Classroom Contact (an edited version aimed at science classrooms.) A 3-2-1 Contact magazine was also published for middle school students, and here's a sample article on MacGuyver.

The Best DOMAIN NAMES of the Web

wendell — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:29:01 -0800

What'll you find at rum.com, van.com, war.com or cat.com? A more-fun-than-most web quiz from the Mental Flossers about some of the best domain names and who owns them. Okay, not as much fun as penisland.net and the like, but I found it interesting, but then I am an admitted domain name addict. Hey, I even kinda like the What's Your Name.com blog, via Projects.

Yes, a kiss is all of these . . . and more.

"Let us say that you have raveled in a sweet, long kiss. Suddenly, you see your loved one's eyes close as though in a moment of weariness. Gently detach your lips from hers and raise them up to her closed eyelids. Drop a kisslet first on one eyelid and then on the other. Feel the rolling orb quiver under your lips. Then, when you have done this, run your lips down along the line of her nose, stopping at odd times to purse them into a tiny kiss. When you reach the wrinkle of her nostrils, bury your lips deeply into the curve and kiss little niblets into first one and then the other. If her eyes still are closed, repeat the process. But return to the lips." -- from "The Art of Kissing" by Hugh Morris (1936). Revised and expanded in 1991 by William Cane. More excerpts from the 1936 edition: "Personally, I disagree with those who advise closed eyes. To me, there is an additional thrill in seeing, before my eyes, the drama of bliss and pleasure as it is played on the face of my beloved. I can see tiny wrinkles form at the corners of her eyes, wrinkles of joy. I can see fleeting spasms of happiness flit across her eyes. I can see these things and, in seeing them, my pleasurable reactions to the kiss are considerably heightened. In keeping my eyes open, I am giving pleasure not to one sense alone, the sense of touch, but to two senses, the senses of touch and of sight. These two, coupled with the sense of smell which is actuated by the perfume of her breath, all combine to make the kiss an exquisite, ineffable epitome of unalloyed bliss." "In kissing a girl whose experience with osculation is limited, it is a good thing to work up to the kissing of the lips. Only an arrant fool seizes hold of such a girl, when they are comfortably seated on the sofa, and suddenly shoves his face into hers and smacks her lips. Naturally, the first thing he should do is to arrange it so that the girl is seated against the arm of the sofa while he is seated at her side. In this way, she cannot edge away from him when he becomes serious in his attentions."

Mmmmwah!

Affairs of the Lips. "We kiss furtively, lasciviously, gently, shyly, hungrily and exuberantly. We kiss in broad daylight and in the dead of night. We give ceremonial kisses, affectionate kisses, Hollywood air kisses, kisses of death and, at least in fairytales, pecks that revive princesses." But, why do we kiss?
