If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Campbell inspired a lot of scifi that way. :/

I should write an article on Analog/Astounding Science Fiction/several other names...

He did. He basically dictated what SF looked like for years, as I understand it, which implicates him as at least partially responsible for the Sci-Fi Ghetto. sad

At least New Wave is cool. I should also write an article on that. New Wave

Edit: FUCKING MUSIC GRAGH

Random thought: I think that His Masters Voice is one of my favorite novels. I don't know how that happened.

I think my method of testing new music acts to see if I like them or not might not be very efficient.

No, no, efficiency as a criterion for methods of determining musical taste.

  1. Type their name into Youtube.
  2. Listen to the songs that come up, in no particular order.
  3. Do that until I feel I can reach a decision
  4. If the answer is "Yes", figure out which of their albums I should listen to.
  5. If the answer is "No", do nothing.

Well, unless it's something too obscure for Youtube. >_>

If you had an efficient prescriptive method, would you consistently follow it?

Of course I would!

YouTube is like the radio, it seems.

Except mother almost always listens to the sports station so I don't get to hear much of what's apparently popular now.

You Tube is like the radio, it seems.

It's like radio if all it took to start a pirate radio station was a receiver.

For some reason, reading this sentence filled me with an inexplicable sense of glee.

Glee should be a verb, if it isn't yet.

"(theremins)" is what I use to point out when two posts are made at the exact same time.

^Because it's eerie, that's why.

Which why, glee or gleeing? If the former: inexplicable is inexplicable. If the latter: because it's faster than "to become gleeful".

^^^ Oh.

^ I don't know what albemuth is but I'm instinctively associating it with bismuth. Which, knowing my instincts, is probably wrong.

To be honest, I don't know. I don't think that anybody does.

It's something I thought up a few months ago based on the book.
