Any music that falls into the genre known as "post-rock".

And while I'm at it, could someone please explain to me what's so great about Slint? The rock cognoscenti always talk up the album Spiderland. Personally, I find it to be quite tedious to listen to. What is it that I'm missing about this band?

Sandals in the workplace. Some women can pull it off. No men can. Keep your toes to yourself.

Sports sandals in any context.

on that same note, people who walk around with the office barefoot or in their socks.  if youre going to take your shoes off, keep it underneath your desk.  yeesh.

I disallowed flip-flops for this very reason.  No flip-flops for you!

Oh, you antifoot people would have hated to work with me:  I took off my shoes at every opportunity back when I worked in the real world.  (Still do, of course.)

I am perpetually mystified by the aversion so many FOT have to the sight of feet.  Why do people care?

At the pool, or the beach I have no problem with it.  At work, it's inappropriate.   There is such a thing as situational context.



Unless you want to say that nothing's inappropriate, in which case I say get ready for the deluge.

You and I seem to be in the minority, Martin.

And, buffcoat, there may be, but I don't think the context of work demands imprisoned feet.

Unlike the author I have no problem with girl feet if they are well-maintained.

Worst of all are those preposterous action sandals in which men's gnarly white hoofs are strapped on to a black foam float with so many cross straps and bits of Velcro that it's basically a ventilated rambling boot - the ultimate Guardian reader's summer shoe. I saw Ranulph Fiennes advertising them once and, having previously rather admired the man, decided that henceforth I would regard every toe taken from him by frostbite as a blow struck for decency and good taste.

I mainly have an aversion to feet because mine are so ugly. It's simple shame and self-hatred!

Yeah, I was super into that album as a young'un but when I revisited it more recently I was puzzled as to why. Now it seems kind of... sophomoric. I guess it hit a self-dramatizing goth nerve that, as an indie-rocker, I didn't want to admit I had.

Still, I've liked and respected most of the other stuff the various members have been involved in (including King Kong).
