Peter Gabriel's new album covers Bon Iver's Flume. What do you think? | One of the most memorable songs from "For Emma, Forever Ago" is Flume. Peter Gabriel (or his people) landed on this brilliant tune for his new album of covers, cleverly called "Scratch My Back."

How many of you have actually played the first Bad Company? What do you think of BC2 Demo/Beta in comparison to BC1? | I see way to many comparisons to battlefield 2 on /r/gaming, it's like PC gamers forget that it's not supposed to be BF3.

Hey Reddit, what's your favorite accent in the opposite sex? | I've got a bit of a gruff New Zealand accent going on, but of course it's not very exotic (if you could call it that) to the next door neighbours. But the foreigners I talk to online seem to enjoy it enough, and it got me thinking: What's everyone's favorite accent to hear in a man/woman? |
Mary Oliver's First Requirement for Writing Poetry | From "A Poetry Handbook":

He makes [ad hominem accusations]( and proceeds to attempt to [challenge the definition of "ad hominem" by referring to clear cases of just plain insultation]( He then has the audacity to create a [threa... |
Has anybody else wanted to give Dawkins/Hitchens books to a religious friend, but didn't for fear of being proselitic? | I have some open-minded religious and agnostic friends that'd like to give copies of the God Delusion, for example, but i feel like when doing so, i'm being just like an evangelist giving bibles away or a mormon knocking at someone's door. Has anyone else felt the same? |

Calling all MD Pirates! ARRRR | Wanna meet up? DC/NoVa has something going on here:
We could merge with them for the first meeting (tentatively the 21st in Old Town Alexandria, a place I've never been... I was hoping they'd change the location to central-ish D.C. for us) or do something ourselves. Even if we don't meet with them, the 21st still wor... |
