Marginalia

[coalescent]

Genius: "FACT! As of today, November 10, 2004, it is one year since 'Hey Ya' was released in the UK. So all you Beyonces and Lucy Lius and Babydolls GET OFF THE FLOOR.' And keep reading down to the 'note to DJs' at the end ...

Via tamaranth (several days ago), the Guardian interviews Neal Stephenson.

At Locus, Howard Waldrop and Lawrence Person like The Incredibles a whole damn lot.

Philip Pullman clearly never saw 'Isaac and Ishmael', or maybe just disagrees: "The Christian right in America is the mirror image of the Islamic fundamentalists," he says.

An adaptation of The Master and Margarita causes controversy: 'Russia's Orthodox church has reacted with dismay to a film of the seminal novel The Master and Margarita, saying it offers a version of the Gospel that is "nothing but negative" and fearing it will offend or confuse many believers.' Shocking.

[Intro]
One two three uh!

[Verse One - Andre 3000]
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for shooo..
Uh, But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the dooor..
Don't try to fight the feelin'
Because the thought alone is killing me right nooww..
Uh, thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know hooowww...
UH!

[Chorus:]
Heeeyyy... Yaaaaaaa..

Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it

We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings

[Verse Three - Andre 3000 (Repeating "Shake it" in background)]
Now while Beyonce's and Lucy Lui's
And baby dolls, get on the floor
(Get on the floor)

You know what to do!

[Chorus]
Heeeyyy... Yaaaaaaa.. (OHH OH)

So basically, there's no round and round at all.

This sounds suspiciously like a robot name to me. Do we have any proof that he's human?

I miss Andrew. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything [1], but he'd get it.

[1] He would, in fact, shout something in all caps. I hope.

ROBOTS ARE THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP BABY!

Robots generally don't have Andre 3000's eye for fashion.

Surely she meant that the lyrics are going round and round in her head. Not that "round and round" are the lyrics.
