Bonus Facts
Manuella “Ya Kid K” Komosi was the lead vocalist on Pump up the Jam and most other Technotronic songs, but she was not in the video or on the album cover, which instead featured Zairean-born fashion model Felly lip-synching the lyrics. Felly had nothing to do with recording the song, and didn’t speak English. Bogaert used her to establish an image for the group, even if it meant some awkward miming in the video. Around the same time, C&C Music factory did something similar when they had a model pretend to sing the parts of Martha Wash on hits like “Gonna Make You Sweat.” Snap! also used a fake singer in their video for “The Power.” When Technotronic toured with DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Felly didn’t come along - they were fronted by their real vocalists Ya Kid K and MC Eric.
I had the soundtrack to the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on cassette when I was a kid. There was a Ya Kid K song on it.
This was approximately three years after the debut of Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam.
This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.
Belgian? I guess I was always caught up on that thick new York accent…
Or did the Belgians just decide that was their shit.
Ya Kid K’s Congolese accent definitely has some of that marbles-in-the-mouth Staten Island sound. I was also surprised to learn she wasn’t from the Burroughs.
I once made a belt from old watches, now THAT was a waist of time.
I once knocked over a whole jar of dried herbs in the kitchen, now that was a waste of thyme.
Eh, I dunno, I think philosophy can be pretty cool.
- Logic and epistemology give us the tools to create proofs and algorithms, and it’s basically the foundation of modern mathematics.
- Having the tools to communicate and understand concepts in ethics makes society more secular (because ethics aren’t just handed down from on high) and hopefully more humane.
- Metaphysics I feel again moves us more toward secularism because it gives us ways to reason about the universe other than just “some big powerful boi did it (and he conveniently thinks you should give me money)”.
the math/philosophy overlap in set theory/logic makes me uneasy. the closer you get to it, the more the idea that “math is objective” starts to fade away. also pretty surreal to be learning philosophy/taking things as given in a math class. especially because you spend a lot of time proving that certain things are true, but you don’t ever say what it means for something to be true.
All roads lead to Rome.
We already know that math isn’t objective due to Godel’s incompleteness theorem
how does that follow from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems?
Of course and then again is being even real
Philosophy at it’s core can be cool, informative, and even critical.
Most philosophy is fancy bullshit.
Just like anything else creative with a low barrier to entry, 90% is crap. The rest may be corn
Although, that corn may simply be undigested crap.
Logic and epistemology give us the tools to create proofs and algorithms, and it’s basically the foundation of modern mathematics.
Not that I disagree, but logic and mathematics have a rocky relationship. We thought we could marry them forever with set theory, but when they asked if anyone objected, Bertrand Russel stood up.
But what isn’t a waste of time, is listening to 1989 Belgian Techno anthem, Pump up the Jam
Nihilism doesn’t matter
I don’t believe in anything, even nihilism!
What is this tv show?
Cunk on Britain / cunk on the world
cunk on the world
Cunk on Earth, perhaps?
“Waste” doesn’t exist either. And don’t start on that “of” thing.
Maybe both is true, I don’t know
