      The Streisand Effect for making smut popular goes back to at least the 13th Century. Theology and law students at University of Paris would gloss the notes of their professors' lectures with dirty limericks and stories, which they would then recite and sing. When the school authorities would bring them to trial the court rooms were packed and all the students (and faculty) would get off on the readings of the exhibits, then go write their own.

      Many of these stories were later adapted by Boccaccio in his 14th Century Decameron, which was banned by the Pope for obscenity, but that banning made it one of the biggest sellers of the Renaissance, particularly among upper class women, who would recite them to each other.

      Francois Villon later made all this immensely popular from his own student days in Paris, and was prosecuted for it and in turn went from being a local lout to a major literary figure of the 15th Century, with troubadours endlessly repeating his songs until they were finally printed by the new presses:

      I.
      WHOSO in love would bear the bell,
      Needs must he prank him gallantly,
      Swagger and ruffle it, bold and swell,
      And when to his lady’s sight comes he,
      Don cloth of gold and embroidery;
      For ladies liken a goodly show.
      This should serve well; but, by Marie,
      Not all can nick it that will, heigho!

      II.
      Once on a season in love I fell
      With a lady gracious and sweet to see,
      Who spoke me fair, that she liked me well
      And gladly would hearken to my plea,
      But first I must give to her for fee
      Fifty gold crowns, not less nor mo’.
      Fifty gold crowns?—O’ right good gree!
      Not all can nick it that will, heigho!

      III.
      To bed I went with the damsel
      And there four times right merrily
      I did to her what I may not tell
      In less than an hour and a half, perdie.
      Then with a failing voice said she,
      “Once more, I prithee! my heart is woe.”
      Once more, quotha, sweetheart? Ah me,
      Not all can nick it that will, heigho!

      ENVOI.
      Great God of love, I crave of thee,
      If ever again I lay her low,
      Ne’er let my lance untempered be,
      Not all can nick it that will, heigho!

      • Why have I never heard Superchunk before?

        Perhaps its because I confuse them with Supergrass, who I have heard, and don't really like tall that much. In any event.....

        What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

        • A fun Rick Beato "debate" - OK Computer vs. The Bends.

          OK Computer is more complex, it's deeper and more stylistic, but sometimes nothing can fill a mood quite like The Bends which start to finish is one of the GOATs. Honestly if you asked me once a month for the next year I'd probably end up split with my opinion.

          btw I was not aware of Johnny Greenwood's musical score prowess until a few days ago.

          Madrugada - full Rockpalast concert. If you've not yet heard them but have an ear for Bloc Party, Midnight Oil, Afghan Whigs, Morphine, Ane Brun, even a bit of Mark Lanegan I suggest you give them a try.

            • Went to our first concert in God knows how long a week ago. Definitely some 90's/early 2000's nostalgia. Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional. Both put on a good show, even the opener was decent.

              What shocked me was how many 20-to-25-year-olds were there and knew all the words. Also, I'm old. And wore an onion on my belt, as was the style at the time.

                              I was also surprised when I first saw it, my guess would have been some brand of the Celtic diaspora**.

                              My go to assumption about ridiculously beautiful women* is Brazilian. It's also a place where every single gradation of skin tone is fully represented. Miscegenation makes better looking people. Pure racial types are just inbred.

                              * I'm sure the men are too as well as every portion of the gender spectrum.

                              ** Oh. Look at this map of Celtic genetic dispersal. She's truly a Lady of Spain:
