Listening #4









One:


We gave
Cyprus cheap goals and we should be better than
we are. The mistakes should have been limited – it was too easy for them.


Two:


However,
Murray made no mistake in the 10th game, breaking the world number 30 with ease
to take the first set. The second set was all
one-way traffic, with Murray winning the first five games en route to a
comfortable 6–1 success.


Three:


A second knockdown saw the Brit look to
his corner
in a way that suggested he was in serious trouble. Although
he requested to go on, Ward, bleeding heavily from his
nose and with a nasty swelling under his right eye
, was withdrawn by his
trainer before the start of the fifth round.


Four:


The
former Eastbourne Eagle suffered rib damage and bruised
kidneys in a crash
at Ipswich on Thursday. He fell in the first heat of the 16-lap Classic, but hospital X-rays have revealed
no significant harm to his back.


Five:


Disgraced
sprinter
Marion Jones has been handed a two-year ban and
returned the five medals she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, days after
admitting to the use of a prohibited substance.


Six:


Lebron
says they will bounce back next year. He's right, they will, but they will need
to get some better players in. A lot of the time he made the passes to guys
that were wide open but they couldn't put it in the
basket
.

Glenn Beck: Video-Games Responsible For Sandy Hook Massacre


(Hey, while you're hear, have you watched our new episode yet?)

Y'know, for awhile there I was a little worried that the American right-wing might've been doing something very smart in regards to their relationship with video-games. While it's not a perfect alignment, it's my observation that the worst aspects of gaming culture right now - centered, as these things tend to be, around the multiplayer-shooter genre - line up pretty well with The Right's most poisonous elements: Misogyny, angry-white-man paranoia plus the attendant homophobia plus "Men's Rights" lunacy that goes with it and, of course, worship of (but complete lack of respect for) the gun culture.

So when I saw things like Ollie North pimping "Call of Duty," my worry was: "Oh great, they've figured it out. They'll never regain footing in the rest of the entertainment industry; but gaming having any kind of ideological bent is such a nascent thing that they could easily slip in and claim this medium for their own without much resistance - and the only thing worse than the bro-gamers dominating the market would bro-gamers as a voting bloc."

Fortunately, The Right has demonstrated rather completely that they prize the short-term financial and electoral gains they get from being the obedient lapdogs of the gun industry FAR more than they do their long-term relevance as a political force; and so they've enthusiastically jumped onto the "Guns Don't Kill People, Violent Video-Games Kill People!" bandwagon - anything to prevent gun manufacturers' from losing business. In the latest salvo: Glenn Beck, preaching the "medical facts" of the Great Desensitization Lie:


Well, that was unpleasant. Hey, why not watch some Shameless Self-Promotion to wash your brain out?

SIGN PAINTERS (OFFICIAL TRAILER) from samuel j macon on Vimeo.

--------------------


“Sign Painters,” which has been put together with equal parts affection and skill by directors Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, is fresh and passionate and unexpected. 
-Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

 "The documentary accomplishes what many films that consist of mostly talking heads do not. Through the individual stories, a larger narrative surfaces about this art form and its fate over time. In many ways, it is more than that. It is a cautionary tale about the head-long rush into a technology-driven time and a meditation on what’s lost along the way. It is a reminder to look around and recognize the physical history in our presence every day." 

-Mary Louise Schumacher, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
