In the six years since this Cleveland-based act released its self-titled debut album — a lo-fi set of messy rock 'n' roll — Cloud Nothings has sharpened the focus of its songwriting and become one of America's more thrilling noise-rock bands.

Trump has yet to make the appointment official, but seeing as how he flew Mattis to hang with him at his golf course and tweeted sweet nothings about him bright and early Sunday morning, the president-elect seems to be getting close to a decision.

As she gets older, Sarah's childhood of constant surveillance and hardships smoothed out into pleasant nothings catches up with her, making her an object of curiosity on a playground full of kids who grew up discovering their messy world at the click of a button.

Now behold waves of pealing keyboard ripples, noodling trebly guitar, sweeping electronic strings, organic grooves inhabiting a soft-rock variant on neosoul, and a panoply of chirpy female R&B voices, most prominently Estelle and Kali Uchis, whispering sweet nothings and providing vocal cushioning.

Gone from government service are people like former Defense Secretary Robert Gates or former National Security Advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, who have been replaced by the know-nothings of Obama's current national security team and the mindless hawkishness of people like Sens.

Then, in 2013, a handsome facsimile edition, " The Gorgeous Nothings ," was published by New Directions, followed, this fall, by a compact selected edition, " Envelope Poems ," the fruits of a collaboration between the Dickinson scholar Marta Werner and the poet and visual artist Jen Bervin.

On the group's latest record, "Life Without Sound," Dylan Baldi, Cloud Nothings' creative mastermind, takes cues from forebears like Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Paul Westerberg of the Replacements; an enthralling scuzz prevails, but the guitar hooks are sharper and the choruses far more hummable.

Roman's overtures — that he and Gerri team up to be CEO and Chair or Chair and CEO, an arrangement he names "The Rockstar and the Molewoman" — don't seem like a great deal for Waystar-Royco's General Counsel, but his sweet nothings were to die for.

Moreover, in rejecting the bad elements of the Know-Nothings, such as their hatred of immigrants and determination to shut America's door to them, he did not hesitate to identify with the good things they stood for, such as social reform groups, temperance groups and antislavery.

"City of Sedition" is also an intriguing case study of New York's perpetual identity crisis, a metropolis "rarely of one mind," inhabited by Tammany thugs and the "shoddy aristocracy" of war profiteers, crusading journalists and abolitionists, Copperheads, Know-Nothings, humbugs and, of course, literary bohemians like Whitman.

It's so tempting to get one to cuddle up with, whisper sweet nothings to, and give butt scratches, but you might want to reframe owning one in your mind as a luxury — or at least a responsibility — until you're fully prepared, mentally and financially, to care for one.

And to those do-nothings within government who genuinely believe in making no waves, breaking no new ground and not challenging the status quo, I say: Enjoy the free ride, my lackluster friends, as November of 2018 is not as far away as you might like to believe!

Now the nine Northeastern states that form the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative have done much the same, in a further rebuke to the know-littles and do-nothings like Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, who are now calling the shots on climate policy in Washington.

That's the dependable specialty of LVL UP and Cloud Nothings, two young, guitar-led bands that are children of '90s alternative rock (Neutral Milk Hotel, Built to Spill, Nirvana), but not strict revivalists, borrowing also from later waves of pithy, loud, often self-loathing emo and pop-punk.

They inspire roughly the same amount of fan obsession, but while their British counterparts whisper sweet nothings into each other's ears as they tie the knot in front of 29 million people, Kristen and Dax post slightly embarrassing photos of one another on Instagram revealing intimate details into their lives together.

At first mention, the idea of buying a fragrance strictly for the hair seems like something better suited for a high-school kid that doesn't want to get caught hanging around people who smoke cigarettes — or maybe someone with gobs of money to throw around on superfluous but good-smelling nothings.

Dylan Baldi, the lead singer and auteur of Cloud Nothings, was happy to meet me in New York City on election night—he said that he wanted to "compare the vibe" of the city to the atmosphere of his hometown of Cleveland on the night of World Series Game 7.

On Wednesday, Carpark Records—home of Toro Y Moi, Speedy Ortiz, Cloud Nothings, and a host of other excellent musicians—announced that they'll be donating 100 percent of their digital sales today (August 31) to the Red Cross' relief efforts in Houston, Texas, which has obviously been enormously affected by Hurricane Harvey.

They let themselves be led around by a group of no-compromise talk-radio gasbags, think-tank ideologues in the pay of one industry or another, Fox News know-nothings and an alt-right fringe, who, together, so poisoned the G.O.P. garden that an invasive species, Donald Trump, just took it over.
|

Even Jean Lassalle—former presidential candidate whose TV spots often featured him whispering sweet nothings in bovine ears and who declared that "France is like a cow about to give birth," in reference to challenging position the next head of state will face, we assume—didn't have anything to say about the sport.

Has nostalgia turned us all into jibbering know-nothings who flat out refuse to believe that culture can change and that that change is a good thing, and that we don't actually have to gasp with orgasmic glee every time we remember literally anything that's ever happened over the span of human history?

The artist has produced other works combining romantic sentiments with electronic epigrams—"I Can't Believe How Much You Loved Me" (2012), and the more matter-of-fact "People Like You Need to Fuck People Like Me" (2007)—but the location of this work afforded it a resonance beyond the sweet nothings of a lover.

When the Whig Party fell into disarray after back-to-back electoral losses in the 1852 presidential election and the 1854 congressional elections, Fillmore switched his allegiance to the political party that appeared to be on the rise after securing 43 seats in the House: the American Party also known as the Know-Nothings.

By the time the ashram was reopened to the public in 2015, part of a campaign to draw tourists to the area, most of the buildings had been vandalized by young lovers, who had hobbled over broken security walls to scrawl sweet nothings, and the occasional phallus, on the mildewed walls of remaining structures.

While the complexities in Hamid's novel are muffled by the allegorical voice of an unreliable narrator and the ruminating style of an oral history, Khadivi's book is meticulous, unsparingly realistic and rich in nuance, a careful accounting of all those small nothings that, over three formative years, add up to everything for Reza Courdee.

Other more New Age-y ASMRtists (an abbreviation for "ASMR artists," which describe the people who create and share ASMR–inducing sounds) such as Gentle Whispering, whisper soothing nothings, addressing an unseeable internet "you," for almost 40 minutes, while others like Free Spirit whisper an energy reading and healing session with a friend into the camera.

I know, I know, there's a massive argument to be made that going, "Hey, everything's fucked so let's try and forget about it any way we can," is the kind of trite nonsense spouted by know-nothings with their heads firmly buried in the nearest sandpit, but when the world feels this fucked, escapism is more necessary than ever.

I give thanks as well that this thread of magnanimity has, mostly, triumphed over the other thread represented by the Know-Nothings, the anti-Catholic riots, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the exclusion of Jewish refugees like Anne Frank, the internment of Japanese-Americans, the Muslim ban and this year, the separation of immigrant families at the Mexican border.

BIRMINGHAM, England — Cornwall, that gnarled old boot of land, which kicks violently out Atlanticward from the southwest corner of England, has long been a tremendous allure for artists and writers seeking to imbibe something of the wildness of its coast or the intoxicating spirit of its general remoteness from any standards of gentility proposed by those laughably know-all metropolitan know-nothings.

One is a letter to Joshua Speed written at a time of confusion in the American party system, in which Lincoln disavows the concepts of the American Party, disparagingly known as the Know-Nothings, who struck a chord with voters by offering an anti-immigration, anti-Catholic platform (there's even a bit about Russia here): I am not a Know-Nothing.

Frémont secured the Republican Presidential nomination, in 1856, by a shrewd piece of political maneuvering, one that reminds us just how complex and contradictory the politics of abolition were: some of the Know- Nothings, fiercely anti-immigrant (and anti-Catholic), were also antislavery, it being possible at the time for white working-class Americans to hate Irish people as much as they hated black people.

I imagine that this is what it would feel like to be the antagonist in one of Drake's songs, one of the featureless exes whose only purpose is to support him, to hold a mirror up to him, stuck in a relationship where sweet nothings are tossed off for the sake of a clever phrasing, where you are little more than furniture in someone else's movie. ♦

The company has unveiled its latest product, the Ara, which it claims is the "first toothbrush with embedded AI." This doesn't mean, of course, that some sultry-voiced operating system will whisper sweet nothings to you while you're brushing your teeth (they'd be pretty muffled anyway), but a bunch of sensors in the brush will monitor how long you use it each day and which areas of your mouth you you hit.

Consider that toward the end of last year, at a time of seemingly unprecedented dysfunction in Washington and in the midst of the most hysterical immigration discourse since the Know-Nothings, Congress allotted $750 million in aid to Central America—$250 million less than the administration had asked for, but still $500 million more than the previous year and $450 million more than the House was prepared to provide just six months earlier.

The anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican, anti-Muslim and anti-refugee sentiment expressed by some Americans today echoes nativist lurches of the past—the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, the Know-Nothings of the mid-1800s, the anti-Asian sentiment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and any number of eras in which Americans were told they could restore past glory if they just got some group or idea that was threatening America under control.

Just as the curb cuts, wheelchair ramps, and wider doorways and corridors mandated by the Americans With Disabilities Act benefited not just those in wheelchairs but parents pushing a stroller, delivery workers with packages on carts, and even those like me with creaky knees who find it easier to walk up a ramp than a few stairs, a quieter environment will benefit parents trying to listen to their toddler, friends trying to catch up with each other without telling the whole world what's happening in their lives, and young lovers trying to whisper sweet nothings to each other.

This is pertinent because, arguably, this is one of the last of these ceremonies where the old guard maintains balance before being couped to death by the new: Inevitably, in 15 years, we will, on the last Sunday in February, be watching the Academy of Meme Awards, where the stars—On Fleek Girl; Jay Versace; whichever YouTubers are not in prison for sexual harassment crimes; the "Cash Me Ousside" Girl, who, now reformed and wholesome, is on par with the artist we currently know as Beyoncé, where wind from a source unseen ripples her flowing dress, and her two adorable angel children, in tiny tuxedos, claw their little hands at her holy hem—walk the red carpet, bowing their heads reverently to the horde of showbiz reporters, murmuring sweet nothings about who they are wearing and how they hope the people nominated opposite them in every category actually win on the night.
