Godjira is Godzilla

Interesting french metal act, hinting at the consolidation of a style epitomized by their fellow countrymen Scarve.
I'm not much into the lyrics, but the fat, heavy grinding sound is just up my alley. Hope to catch them live sometime soon.

kill the nimbys

"It was great to see Essex County put a hold on wind farm projects.

There are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to this energy solution.

The proposed windmills for our area are not the cute little postcard windmills from Holland.

These are massive turbines up to 150 metres in height. They create
noise and vibration and have the ability to cause health problems.

The
companies constructing these farms are rushing through the approval
process, banking on government incentives and a public that believes
anything green is good.

There is also the issue of esthetics and property values. Take a tour near the latest wind farm outside of Wheatley.

Until one is up close to one of these giants, it is hard to comprehend their imposing nature.

There is a place for wind farms, but it must not interfere with a person's right to enjoy their property.

This disgusting NIMBY attitude makes me sick. It's precisely because of this self-righteous selfish imposition of a supposedly god-given right to "enjoy one's property" that's sending this planet down the drain. Apparently for folks like these it's more important to enjoy their oh-so-sacred property than solving the energy crisis and mitigating carbon emissions.
Everybody loves wind energy... just not here!
They should just expropriate his ass.

Musicians don’t want tunes used for torture - MUSIC- msnbc.com

Hell yeah! I too, lost my mind the first time I listened to heavy music! And still often do! MEtaL rewlz l00zerz!!

Seriously what a pathetic state of self-loathing has western civilization reached when the collective conscience is burdened for 'torturing' captives (supposedly) holding mission-critical information with MUSIC!? can anyone think of anything LESS damaging to do to a human being that can still be considered torture? I mean the point is to drill out info from people used to some of the worst living conditions on this planet, who on top of that were mostly trained to withstand intensive interrogation, AND who are skilled in looking as inconspicuous as possible... get the picture? if you give air time to any of these guys they're bound to paint the darkest possible picture.. and it doesn't even seem that dark to me. not used to rock n'roll? tough luck, you just became a casualty of evolution, not imperialism...
meanwhil I read some Guantanamo prisoner's are being sent to several countries who offered to receive them... wait 'till you get a load of Romanian prisons doodz.. and if the other inmates get to know your priors, you'll be second only to rapists & pedophiles in everybody's shitlist. you'll be singin' "you shook me all night long" a couple of octaves higher in pitch my rug-headed friends..

Kiva

I've been lending to Kiva for almost two years now, and the second loan I made has just been repaid: I helped Ndella Taye from Senegal to buy supplies to feed her cattle, which she sold to not only repay her loan, but to start a savings account with her husband.
This is her 12th microfinanced loan, and her ambitions to diversify her business are high. The total amount lent this time was $1,050.00. I contributed a measly $25, which I got back in exactly the timeframe promised (6 months).
In all truth, I can't say I did much, I didn't even spend any money, and yet it feels nice. Feels even nicer to see that I'm having a hard time reloaning the $25 to someone else, 'cause all loans requested on kiva.org are fully funded at this point! A big step up since the site got started...

Oh look, three new loans just popped up! Here's twenty-five bucks headed Mrs. Rojas' way!
Good luck in your business...!

guns don't kill people

"...stupid motherfuckers with guns kill people"

according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies, there's one gun for every seven people worldwide. given that even the crappiest handgun packs at least six bullets, the math makes sense. what doesn't is that I'm one of the six getting shot :P
so what do you think, should I get a gun? should we all get a gun and finally have peace, in a coldwar-madman-tactics kind of logic? or should we take the gun from that other guy? I'm not sure I want to be the first in line for that one though...

and what is the connection between guns and highschool shootings in the connection-less world? Mr. Moore argues that the US right wing is the child-killer for allowing guns to spread among citizens. but he set out to prove that from the start, due to his own personal political bias - and you can prove anything you want if you set your mind to it from the beginning: blame it on God, the Devil, Allah or Canada. or the butterfly flapping its wings 30000km away. or the planets. so today in finland there was another shooting. and finland isn't the US, this is a civilized european country here. with low pollution and high income. with good jobs and salaries, and a high cultural level. so what are your conclusions now? (mr. moore's are probably something along the lines of 'bowling for helsinky' and how much revenue that'll generate - kudos for finding such a profitable niche) agreed, finland is the 3rd most heavily armed country in the world, just behind the US - but that's pretty obvious: no gun, no shooting. but is it so irrelevant to understand why this urge to kill emerges? seems to me we're having a really hard time adjusting to modern western life... and it's been a while!

George Carlin is no more

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...


...and you finish off as an orgasm.”

George Carlin, 12/05/1937 - 22/06/2008, RIP
