Sometimes I Feel Angry Too

Then I turn to God

Ask And Ye Shall Receive

Its an alright version but this guy used to be James Brown's producer. THE REAL DAVE MATTHEWS (not the phony bitch cake).

Ever feel this angry? I do.

The End of an Era

The Second Season of the Tudors came to an end last night with Anne Boleyn losing her head. Lady Jane is to be the King's new wife. Anyone remember this little jingle, "Divorced, Beheaded, Died...Divorced, Beheaded, Survived!" Any thoughts on beheadings? How does one even spell this?

Ok, so i figured this is something you'd all be vaguely interested in knowing: the face melter of a guitar lick from MF Doom's Rapp Snitch Knishes is sampled from a cover of Bowie's Space Oddity by a little known artist named David Matthews. The album the cover appears on is called "Dune", released in 1977, and as you'd expect, is all songs inspired by Frank Herbert's novel. Quite original. A funked out, druggy keyboardist decides to release a funked out druggy album about a funked out druggy novel. It's the only cover on the album, but in all honesty I can't hear anything from Bowie's original in the short sample from MF Doom's song. I've listened to both a few times and can't find it. It makes me really want to hear the David Matthews version, though I can't seem to find a sample of the song, or album anywhere. The album sounds like it's pretty shitty, as I'm sure Mr. Matthews is as well. But hey, keep an eye out next time any of you is at a used music store, that'd be a sick find.


P.S. - Lance, I realize there's a large chance you already knew all of this.

They Call him Blade Runner

I would like to take the opportunity to express my displeasure at the allowing of bots to compete in the Olympics. First of all, props to this kid for his ability to overcome his disability and move like he does. But how much of it is him or how much of it is the scientists and doctors that created his robotic lower half. Would we allow a cyborg to compete in the Olympics? I think not. And I'm definitely not buying the fact that his prosthetics could break down the same way that a hammy snaps. Dude has no hamstrings to tear, no risk of injury to the lower body. Someone take up the side of the modern day centaur and show me the way cause I don't want to be known as a disability hater, but something has to give. I'm about two days from turning the lower half of my body into a Segway, just in time for Beijing 2008. Tell me why these legs are so important when I could be a titanium beast. ~ 'Bosiac

This shit really depresses me

I know, it's no news that we're killing animals. Happening for thousands of years. I know. But we're starting to look more and more like a species incapable of coexistence. Kind of like the aliens from Aliens. Yes, I'm making an Aliens reference. I don't know, Lance, Brendan (no pressure) but you two are the anthropology majors and while this isn't exactly the same field, you might have a bit more to say on the topic than me. Obviously it isn't impossible for humans to coexist, but is it reasonable to expect it? I'm starting to sound like some WWF (the wildlife fund, no wrestling federation) rep but, in my currently drunken state it's important. I mean, in the grand ol' scheme, life on this planet will be over in a few billion years when the sun burns out, but what's our role in this? Of the three most at risk species, there aren't really any that we, as Americans can really make informed shopping choices to protect. None of us buy hammerhead shark fin, mainly because shark fin soup isn't in much demand in this country. None of us consume african antelope, but it's kind of difficult to tell people who subsist upon it to stop (is there much of a demand for antelope meat in the foreign market?). Swordfish i suppose we could all cut back on, but if you guys are like me its cutting back on something you eat once every 1,684 days. Not too effective. I don't know, this is a bit of a drunken rant aimed at no one but myself, with no purpose but to help frame my own thoughts. ...

A man sees a fly, he aims at it. Urinal spillage decreases 80 percent.

No funny business this time, you guys should read this review. This book, called Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness sounds kind of interesting. I'm not a self-help kind of guy, but the section of the book where they talk about their theory of "libertarian paternalism" in action sounds hilarious. Just read the part of decreasing spillage in the Schipol urinals.

McCain is an old man. Weak and feeble, he nibbles deliberately on his canned peaches, as if each bite was a battle, with victory to be savored, and..

... defeat to be mourned like the lost juice that now runs down his chin like a trickle of water down a mountain stream. Youth escapes McCain like a whorish Helen, off be fondled and cuckolded by Parisin a far greater palace than his piddling city-state has ever seen. Give it up, old man. America now cherishes youth, energy and a penis that never goes flaccid. Seriously though, I thought this was mildly entertaining, even if it is a bit stupid at times. Things that are younger than John McCain.

It isn't all bad, though. Heidi Montag publicly endorsed McCain recently.
