[QUOTE=perriwinkle;13867046]because once you do, you'll never be able to see yourself, other people, or the world the same way[/QUOTE]

interestingly enough, this has made me curious..do explain

here's the stuff on the back:

The Tipping Point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flue, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed best-seller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.



i'm reading this because i read his other book, Blink, and needed more.


they both really go into psychology and sociology, but i think Blink is focused more on them than The Tipping Point. so if you think you would be more interested in reading about your subconscious and about human psychology than the tipping point phenomenon, then get Blink.

OK it sounds fairly interesting I may read it if I get the chance

Maybe I'll check it out..

Anyone heard the new Arcade Fire song?

This is a demo version of it ripped off Brittish radio. It's not finished though apparantly.

Blink is quite an enjoyable book.

I just got out of school...

thank god for vacation.

man go back to school you need your education

We had to endure a holiday concert...

I am most defidently not going back after that.

Hahahaha. I got out Wendsay. For some reason the Head-Master thought it would be a good idea for us to watch the pre-schoolers sing. One got nervous and puked and fainted. :/

?
i just took my finals and left.

Worst semester ever.

word

has anyone ever heard of this book called [i]The Aesthetics of Rock[/i] ?

I picked it up in the free bin of my school's bookstore (after everyone has sold back their old textbooks and some of them arent being used again). I'm pretty sure the book is just a huge joke, like "hmm how prententious can I possibly sound while describing the impact that Herman's Hermits made on the popular music scene?" it was written in like 1970 and name drops obscure musicians AND philosophers. a double dose of boredom and i sincerely hope it's just tongue-in-cheek.

never heard of it

It doesn't sound that cool.

nope

You know what else is lame? Chris Funk's "solo" on The Colbert Report the other day. I finally got around to watching it and it was awful.

it was lame how colbert got out of it.

Yeah, I wanted him to play.

Colbert's a pus[B]s[/B]y.

yeah man i was like "oh hey look a guitarist is gonna solo now" and then after about ten seconds i was like "oh...he sucks :/"

then i proceeded to pwn him with my guitar skills



oh and it would've been gay if colbert played because he obviously would've sucked and it wouldn't have been funny or entertaining at all.

I was hoping that he wasn't lying when he said he could play but thats wishful thinking.

Is that by Richard Meltzer or something?

sexymuffin, do you go to high school in Frederick? Cause if so, you could possibly know a friend of mine...:eek:

Is it even possible to use the bottom two necks? They seem almost impossible to reach unless you have super long arms or something.

yeah that's it. i was too lazy to find the book while i was typing so i didn't say anything
