Dead Air for Radios
this is such a good record.

Kevin, why did you have to get all Indie-OK on us?

great someone else is pissed at me.

i love it when a plan comes together
that take felt good enough i'm going to have a smoke.

The A-Team: as scored by Tangerine Dream
OK yeah so this is just as hard as i thought it would be.

i've been working on this since noon, and it's getting near done.

i'm playing 5 synthesisers, 2 drum machines, and the x0xb0x on it.

by the time i'm done with this i'll be ready to score this movie if they hire me. and they should.

don't ask, don't tell?
what a typical worthless music journalist. i'm so thankful for the internet for marginalising these assholes:

"A good example: though I've always heard plenty of talk about the utter awfulness of such infamous albums as Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music (a double album of guitar feedback and white noise) or Deep Purple's Concerto For Group And Orchestra (don't ask), I can now listen to them for nothing, and have an opinion of my own.

They're both terrible, incidentally, but that isn't the point."

well let's see the first is amazing because of what it represents, and the second is one of those beautiful things that happened back in the 60s when rock musicians (who at the time had some real skills) wanted to stretch beyond the place culture was trying to shoehorn them into.

IMHO The Nice's Five Bridges Suite was far superior and predated it, but Concerto for Group and Orchestra is a fine record.

"i'm really bummed i'm not on the tenth planet working on the big rocket topside!"
don't worry, the japanese are working on Mondasian-style augmentation:

oh yeah and they're called Cyberdyne. and the suit is called HAL.

these guys just want to evoke all the warm fuzzies, don't they?

ever seen 1,426 pounds of chocolate in one place?
wtf. I guess it's about to go on sale.

A Blessing of Tears
fuck. this is 14 years old.

still amazing.

fucking brilliant CS Lewis quote
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."

flu? Cold?
oh my god I feel terrible.

"when u die u get 2 make babies with god"
so the Mormons have started target-marketing to 12 year old girls with t-mobile sidekicks:

surely you can be more creative
some piece of shit just called me a "bitter fat fuck."

let's get small!
small format? i'll show you small.

why does it seem like the press release is more concerned with the colour of those victimised than with the whole unlawful search and seizure bit?

healthcare debate
it's a bunch of shit.

the issue is actual cost of healthcare.

arguing about who is paying for it doesn't change anything at all.

deregulate the drug approval process and shorten patent life. you'll see a drop in cost.

also, while you're at it, make any research performed at a state university public domain. those schools are taxpayer-funded and the idea that they've become retarded surrogate for the Bell Labs of yesterday is disgusting.

now go back to arguing about socialism vs corporatism. have fun.

i'm sorry, did that not fit into your democrat box or your republican box?
