Interview/songs on Morning Edition.
Update: Direct link to the segment, and the poem self evident mentioned in the description.
The new cd: So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter.
Live stream at NPR.org or via Public Radio Fan.
Why are you still here?
I'm sure I'd have known this in advance if I ever read rec.music.artists.ani-difranco, but I just can't do USENET anymore. . .
Update: I also don't do these sorts of things anymore:
Which Ani DiFranco Album Are You?
No, I'm not posting my results. Because I didn't take it. So shut up.
Update-a-go-go: I think all the people who originally got me into ani (read: sent me mix tapes with a few songs [Tisha Stima] or tapes of a few cds [Jamie McGowan] or suggesting playing her on long-ass road trips [my sister Karen, Lisa van Dyke, and oh-god-I've-forgotten-her-name. . .]) aren't so much into her these days. Either too many good/bad memories mixed in with the music, or annoyance with the relationship choices (see also: the intervention scene in Go Fish, which you'll either find confusing, unrealistic, didactic, hilarious, or cinéma vérité), or not loving the kids at the shows these days, or some mix of these. Said it before, I'll say it again: I've lived too long.
Update Again: Today on Science Friday, host Ira Flatow interviews musicologist ani difranco. Or there's a rebroadcast of a very old Talk of the Nation on MPR for some odd reason. Or was, because they just flipped from a studio performance of "Fuel" to today's actual broadcast. Either I'm on drugs, or they are.
Typical.
Which Ani DiFranco Album Are You?
Brought to you by Tracie
I did like the mariachi, though.
in a coffee shop in a city which is every coffee shop in every city on a day which is every day i pick up a magazine which is every magazine and read a story then forgot it right away they say goldfish have no memory i guess their lives are much like mine the little plastic castle is a surprise every time it's hard to say if they are happy but they don't seem much to mind from the shape of your shaved head i recognized your silhoutte as you walked out of the sun and sat down and the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people as they paused to snear at the two girls from out of town and i said "look at you this morning you are by far the cutest but be careful getting coffee i think these people wanna shoot us or maybe there's some kind of local competition here to see who can be the rudest"
little plastic castle courtesy of/shamelessly ripped off from danah michele boyd. This song makes me think of Dunn Bros. Not that one, but there's no photo of the Loring Park branch, and I think that image is cool.

I'm To The Teeth. Am I any good? I have actually never heard an Ani DiFranco album from beginning to end. Songs here and there...but no albums.

Um, had to pull out the cd because I didn't remember any songs from it offhand. Which should tell you something. Namely, that my memory sucks.
I liked it, especially "Freakshow" (oh, shut up) and "Swing", but haven't listened to if for a while.
So, to answer your question, I gots no clue.
Neo, why didn't the Dunn Bros. you worked in have a painting like that? Or did it? I don't actually remember what it looked like. . .

B/c I worked the Lake store [actually, I started @ the Loring] & the Lake area gets enough yuppies that they have to keep things boring. As opposed to the queer quarter, where boring tanks.

But. . . the Lake area is Hip and Trendy! Just ask the hip, trendy Minnesotans shopping at the Gap and eating at the hip, trendy and overpriced restaurants!
How many jogging strollers make an area a free-fire zone? Four? I'm sure I've seen at least four going around the lake at once.

Hey, now! Don't blame the women for the ridiculous beauty standards that dictate that they lose all of the "baby weight" within 3 hours of having given birth.
If only you were privy to how badly women talk about their bodies after having experienced a most ultimately cool use of a body, you would cringe even more to see the jogging strollers...but in a different way.
Or maybe I'm just stuffed up and cranky.

dru, you too? Has it been about a month since the Hello, Kitty incident? Because you know everyone with a blog is on the same cycle.
Sometimes, when I'm in that part of Minneapolis, the back of my brain starts playing a game of "count the people of color."
Might get to double digits. If I use base 2.
If I mention this, the locals will deliver a lecture on how racist I am to notice such things. They are so Hip and Trendy, they don't see race.
Unless it's a group of kids acting fools. Then they hint that the neighborhood is "changing."
Give me a reason not to kill them.
Just one will do.

Aaron, you are so on to me. *I* don't even keep a calendar that accurately. I could have used you about 6 years ago...
I say, fire away. I'm sure they spend more on the jogging stroller than I spend on food every month, so it's only fair.
And here are a bunch of people that should probably go down, too. I somehow got a hit from there last night.
Oh, and while you're at it, would you mind taking down these metafilter dudes? Apparently they don't like it when women make "strident" demands, I'm to busy tending to my cramps to fuck with them.
*smooches*

You know, I'm not thrilled with some of the comments on Metafilter right now, but even I wouldn't lump 'em in with Fark. I swear, the latter is what happens when frat rats get 'net access.
At what age should the utterance, "Dude, check it out, you can totally see her nipples" be a capital offense? 17? 20 at the latest?

Well, I don't want to condemn my currently booby-obsessed sons. And I kind of feel like the weird booby obsession of adult males has something to do with having been denied breastfeeding, so...I'm a little lenient.
Yr right, though...the two forums are not incredibly comparable...but everything is sort of blending into a solid stench of bullshit for me right now.
