[David] Fincher: Scorsese once told me, âThe things you do poorly are as much a part of your style as the things you do wellâŠâ Which was totally true, and oddly reassuring.

An interesting article about the âpop-punk voiceâ: âI made a linguistics professor listen to a Blink-182 song and analyze the accentâ. The song is in the video above, and an excerpt from the article is below, although the whole thingâs worth reading:Â
Penelope Eckert, a linguistics professor at Stanford, is one of the foremost scholars examining whatâs known as the âCalifornia Shift.â The California Shift is a linguistic theory covering the particular changes in dialect that affect the Pacific coast of the United States. Eckert was nice enough to humor me and listen several times to a song I chose based on its particularly egregious âpop-punk voice,â Blink-182âs âFirst Date.â I love the song, but am aware others may find it horribly annoying. âIt really does sound like someoneâs messing around,â she told me. [âŠ]
Eckert walked me through the Blink-182 song word by word, pointing out places where DeLonge was playing around with accent. âWhen they say âto pick you up on our very first date,â the interesting thing about âdateâ is that he renders it as a monophthong âdehhhtâ instead of âdate,â says Eckert. âIn most American English itâs a diphthong.â A diphthong is a vowel sound with two simpler sounds in it; for most Americans, âdateâ is a kind of compound vowel made up of the âehâ sound and the âeeâ sound. Not so much for Tom DeLonge, who eliminates all but the âeh,â making it a single sound, or a monophthong.
Reblogging because Penelope Eckert is a total badass.

Some 240 million years ago, this 8-inch-long critter lived in a large lake, in a fairly warm, subtropical climate. But it didnât have the kind of shell modern turtles have, says Hans-Dieter Sues, a curator at the Smithsonianâs National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
âIt has the real beginnings of the belly shell developing,â says Sues, âlittle rib-like structures beginning to fuse together into larger plates.â
