I had forgotten about this until someone brought up Pogo today. I don’t even like HP that much, but this is just too good.
The raiders had even broadcast their massacre plans in advance.
“We have decided to invade Murleland and wipe out the entire Murle tribe on the face of the earth,” the attackers, from a rival ethnic group, the Nuer, warned in a public statement.
The United Nations, which has 3,000 combat-ready peacekeepers in South Sudan, tracked the advancing fighters from helicopters for days before the massacre and rushed in about 400 hundred soldiers. But the peacekeepers did not fire a single shot, saying they were vastly outnumbered and could have easily been wiped out.
After the riotous public outcry for the rationale behind my 2011 albums list (one person sarcastically asked for my reasons), I will give the people what they want. Happy New Year.
My reasons (edited):
Some albums that made a strong impression on me in 2011
Here’s my unsurprising list. I created it in about 10 minutes and won’t explain my reasons. They are listed, roughly, in descending order of importance. And yes, I didn’t include Bon Iver.
St Vincent - Strange Mercy
Destroyer - Kaputt
Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise
Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes
Dirty Projectors + Bjork - Mount Wittenberg Orca EP
tUnE-yArDs - W H O K I L L
Feist - Metals
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
Radiohead - King of Limbs
NOT The Strokes new album
So I finally listened to Azealia Banks. Great beats, fast rhymes and a lot of nsfw stuff. She’s got personality too.
The song above contains lyrics that are DEFINTELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. But when you have headphones (though very dirty words do flash on screen) or are otherwise in-the-clear, give it a spin. She’s supposed to be the new name of 2012. Lana Del Rey has competition?
