Twerk - where people go to earn money.

Lactic - broken watch

Pumpernickel - question a coin.

I really do not know which I find more difficulty to understand, an attack of Mike Schwartz for expressing his opinion or the statement that "Electric is what fucked Miles Davis up."

It's only a home recording (so far with 23 free listens on SoundCloud, which in my unambitious music career is the equivalent of a hitting the charts it's first day), but this IS the SHAMELESS Self-Promotion thread. It's a great Nick Lowe composition, performed fast a la Rockpile (rather than Nick'...

Tennis - isn't 9 or 11

Expire - used to be on top of a church

I think Andy Murray has paced himself pretty well since Wimbledon.

He can beat anybody.

Peccadillo - an interestingly shaped small cigar.

I haven't watched the Spacey House of Cards, but I've been meaning to watch the original which is also on Netflix. I saw the first episode, but was distracted so didn't get into it. I may try again. I haven't watched it in a while but it was/is monstrously good. Ian Richardson is a marvel. Even...

Pupil - medication for people sitting in church

Contrite - not in favour of the commonplace

Freely adapted from the game played in "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue." The idea is to provide new definitions for existing English words to, perhaps, reflect our changing times. For example: Lymph - to walk with a lisp. Countryside - to kill Piers Morgan (courtesy of Stephen Fry) Animate - t...

Now - John Butcher / Bell Trove Spools

Next - Joel Fausto & Illusion Orchestra / Illusion Orchestra At The Gloomy Club

Daniel Defoe was going to name one of his characters in Robinson Crusoe "Man Tuesday" but changed it when Tuesday Weld's lawyers sent him a threatening letter.

It crossed my mind that the accent was deliberate. Part of his chameleon/monster façade.

I also just started House of Cards. I don't care for Spacey's S.C. accent or the talking to the camera biz, but agree that it's otherwise excellent. It is an odd accent he affects ... seems to come and go in intensity. I'm starting to enjoy it. Talking to the camera is taken from the original serie...

Just started House of Cards. It is based on a wonderful UK book and series.

It has surely hit the ground running. Kevin Spacey is terrific in the Ian Richardson role. Robin Wright too ... fuck it, the entire cast is perfect.

We watched "Beware of Mr. Baker" so I started listening to stuff I had forgotten I had:

now Unseen Rain - Baker with Jens Johansson and Jonas Hellborg

A documentary like no other. ....

Saw it yesterday. Surreal, funny, awful, giddy and consuming.

I really want to force people to go and see it.
