Dead Kennedys, censorship, future weddings
Note: LJ Reality show Memegen, by Haruhi_Suzumiya.
Here's a Wikipedia list of Internet memes.
I finally listened to the Alan Cross show for the first time in some months. It was exactly what I've been missing: this guy does shows on various aspects of rock music. Tonight's show was the first part of two on censorship in music, so of course it covered the Clash / Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax / lists of songs the BBC has banned for one reason or another (like war) / System of a Down being banned / all of Rage Against the Machine being banned after Sept. 11, and so much more! I love it that the censors didn't see anything wrong with Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side... particularly one line, hahahaha. Here's a Wikipedia article on the songs that Clear Channel thought were inappropriate after Sept. 11, and one on censorship in music in general. For the heck of it, here's a list of banned books since I also like reading. :D
I told this to Corey, and he said I should go look at the original artwork on the Dead Kennedys album Frankenchrist. (WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK!) Let's just say I've never seen anything like that, but I can see why it would have been censored!
Oh, and I should remember that Auntie Kwai's son's (my cousin Wilson's brother... he doesn't seem to have an English name!) wedding is on Sept. 3 at 5:30... hey, it'll be held rather close to home, and the dinner is at Kirin at 6:30! (the same place Helen and Danny held their banquet a few years back) It's on a Sunday, and it's kinda considerate. Hehe.. I remember when my sister had a crush on our cousin Wilson at six years old. (around the same time, my mom thought it would be a good idea if I got together with Wilson since he was a year older than me and such... uh, no!) We're not blood cousins, but kinda distant relatives. Kwai is my mom's brother's wife's sister... at least, I think that's how it is. Very convoluted.. o_O
