At 3:25pm, Brown walked inside and sat down at a table. He looked around. A chess club was meeting in the library conference room, and Brown watched the 16 children—some as young as seven—with rising rage. Furious at the legal charges against him, Brown saw a way to exact a twisted form of revenge against children. He opened his backpack and pulled out the knives.
Inside the conference room, 75-year-old instructor James Vernon looked up from a chess board and saw Brown running toward him. Brown held a knife in each hand; as he entered the conference room, he screamed out, "I'm going to kill some people!"
Though Vernon had spent his career in IT at the local Caterpillar plant, he had taken knife-fight training in the Army many decades before. He immediately stepped forward into Brown's path, trying to distract the young man—but also hoping to see which hand he might use to attack.
“I knew he was right-handed. He was whittling on his left arm” with the one in that hand, “making small cuts. He was trying to scare me, and he did.”
holy shit
A lot of excellent, well-known records have the same basic tropes as “officially approved” Northern Soul classics, sharing the same mid-Sixties Motown beat-driven sound, but if the record sold a lot of copies (Jackie Wilson’s peerless (I Get The) Sweetest Feelin, for instance, or the Chiffons’ similarly magnificent Sweet Talkin’ Guy) then, regardless of intrinsic quality, some Northern aficionados will disdain the song and even the artist as “Not Northern”. A badge of dishonour, wielded with ever more painful swings here in the days of the Internet; it used to just be newbies and DJs making and fulfilling the “wrong” requests who’d be on the receiving end of this scorn, but nowadays, woe betide the hapless poster in a Northern Soul Facebook group who accidentally shares something which a joyless trainspotter decries as Not Northern.

that has happened to me before. Hasn't been updated in 6 months though! The comments section is a great read when old people from Motown start appearing in them with factoids and correcting stuff.Jesus that site looks like it could suck you in and never let you go.
actually, worth reading in tandem with Una Mallula's worshipping post on VicelandDunno if this was posted before but...

really? where have you been hiding for the last 15 years?Spike Jonze is white? Who would have thought? (Not me obviously).

I was thinking you must have had them confused because Spike Jonze is one of the whitest people who’s ever livedOutside the counterculture it seems. I had Spike Lee/Jonze confusion. They all look the same to me.
