So he doesn´t…

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip ‘Thou Shalt Always Kill’

Consumer Electronics!

I must confess, I am quite impressed by this! If only it had native SMB or FTP support. Sigh.. but a FreeBSD port is available.

Finland: an entire country with a sense of humour.

Yep, those crazy Finns have selected a Death Metal act for their Eurovision entry. This is fantastic, I really want to see Terry Wogan‘s face as he introduces a band that will sing:
“wings on my back, I got horns on my head, my fangs are sharp and my eyes are red, not quite an angel or the one that fell, now choose to join us or go straight to hell,”

Clever

I’m going to try this out, a simple concept. If you only listen with a MP3 player, then why have your podcast reveiver software on your computer, when you can just have the software on the MP3 player itself.
Very simple concept, very innovitave, great.

Meat is Murder

Owen — Wed, 05 May 2004 23:11:00 +0000

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It’s death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

Meat is Murder by The Smiths

Some lyrics that make Perfect Sense.

He said ‘Mama Mama
The President’s a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals?’
And the joint chiefs of staff,
and the brokers on Wall Street said;
‘Don’t make us laugh
You’re a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory’s a stranger
History’s for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty’
- And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back, in search of
The Garden of Eden.”

From ‘Perfect Sense (part one)‘ on Rodger Walters excellent, though sadly ignored, album Amused to Death .

Growing sense

Owen — Fri, 20 Feb 2004 16:09:00 +0000

“There’s a growing sense that even if The Future comes, most of us won’t be able to afford it.” A Lemmy quote.

Ok, some more quotes, just for completeness..
“We´re a bluesband, only faster” and “I wanted to form a band so bad, that if we moved in next door your lawn would die”.

Interesting fact, Motorhead’s name was originally ‘Barstards’ but the record company forced them to change.

I skimmed some of this info from here.

We All Live in a Yellow Submarine

A really Silly 3d webpage. Amused me greatly. It requires Shockwave to play.

Music tonight.

I’m going to see the Skatalites at the Melkweg in Amsterdam.

New Billy Bragg album!

Looks like the first album I might buy this year.
