Yep, that’s what it is.  A blog of “Stuff White People Like.” This site is vital to two groups of people:   (1)  You, so you know what you like and why, and can be comforted that you really have no choice; and (2) Your non-white friends, so that they know what to say when you discuss these things, and will be better able to impress other whites when you take them to socialize in large groups of whites people.

I suggest you use this site like Wikipedia - when you see a link to another subject near and dear to whites, have a read.  There are only 92 so far, but they’re all very important to whites.  Stuff like coffee, organic food, dinner parties, Ikea, having gay friends, bottled water, gentrification, and of course Apple Products.

“Apple products also come with stickers. Some people put them on their computer, some people put them on windows, but to take it to the pinnacle of whiteness, you need to put the Apple sticker in the rear window of your Prius, Jetta, BMW, Subaru 4WD Station Wagon or Audi. You then need to drive to a local coffee shop (Starbucks will do in a pinch) and set up your apple for the world to see. Thankfully, the Apple logo on the back will light up! So even in a dark place, people can see how unique and creative you (and the five other people doing the exact same thing) truly are!

“Knowledge of Apple products can be useful in a number of social situations. If you see a white person with a Mac, an easy way to approach them is to say “Is that a Powerbook? What OS do you have?” They will happily start talking to you, after the requisite five minutes, you can invite them to an 80s night.”

So, opening night - THERE.

SpeakerCity! hasn’t been heard from in a while, so I thought I’d put up another post no one would read or comment about. Kind of like the Obama-Hillary ones below, only I’m interested in it.

If you really listen to a lot of music, and not with an ipod, you’d probably notice this. Older CeeDees sound better than newer ones. Newer CeeDees (and .mp3s and ipods) sound louder than older ones. There’s a real phenomenon behind this. Compression is being used to take the dynamic range out of music recordings - the quiet parts aren’t as quiet, and the louder parts don’t stand out. It’s called “The Loudness Wars.” See the video for an example of what’s going on (headphones are suggested).

Now, this barely matters for most of us, because as old bastards we don’t buy much new music. OK, being old has almost nothing to do with it - how many times in the last year have you heard something and thought “That’s good music, I should buy that album!”? Music sucks, and that’s why the RIAA has to sue kids and grandmothers.
But if they ever get around to putting out good music, I’d rather be able to listen to it without the compression.
And for now, that will be my excuse as to why I listen to a lot of vinyl. Yes, I have both Warren Zevon and Falco on record.More information on this here:
