I think rap has room for both ignorant party jams, and thoughtful work. I wouldn't call Killer Mike ignored by any stretch of the imagination. Also, he has had his very ignorant moments at times.

@Polyus - I agree, Dorthia was dialed back too far in the mix on "Soma". I believe they intentionally did that, but I can't for the life of me why you want to bury vocals as good as hers.

I've been told that even Station Manager Ken has said he has to turn the station off sometimes. You're most likely not going to like everything everybody plays. Some people's shows you may choose to skip. My own method is usually to stay tuned--if I'm not digging what's happening at the moment, chances are, I'll hear something I like soon. If you're going to have your taste expanded, you're going to have to hear some stuff that's not right up your alley sometimes. Otherwise, you end up on the classic rock station.

@Blinda: death metal and black metal both evolved primarily from early thrash (black metal also came from much more specific things like 80s satanic metal). grindcore evolved from extreme hardcore punk and took it into metal territory. but they all became distinctly different from each other as musical forms.

@Blinda-Rednecks are mildly nationalistic, proud of their self-sufficiency, have some kind of marketable skill and are proud of it. Rednecks are often, but not always religious in the Judeo Christian tradition. Han Solo is a redneck.

White trash are generally Jerry Springer material.

I think one of the best alcoholic beverages I ever drank was peach wine from my pa-in-law's friend Stirch. it wasn't real sweet and so many flavors, I thought, this is what $1000/bottle wine tastes like. Unfortunately, Stirch never got to that level again.

@Wild Neil: I work from time to time with a wine country attorney and independent wine scholar who traveled to Argentina a year or so ago to sample the Malbecs. He recommended them heartily, too. The main reason I avoid Argentina, Chile, etc., is simply the difficulty of making a choice. There are good, cheap French wines I can rely on. Also, it's the plum quality of many California reds that I've grown tired of.

@Rev: Not quite analogous. Bitterness is a necessary, but not sufficient, characteristic of an IPA or pale ale. Gratuitous extremes of IBUs are, of course, part of the marketing plan, but lord, Knee Deep's Simtra, a very bitter triple IPA, is a glorious mouthful. The plummy quality of so much California red wine--last I tried them--is just reminiscent of ... fruit.
