Morrissey grilled by the Feds n Cozzers. He tells’em “You’re the one for me fatty”…
Apparently being nutty n half naked whilst crooning like the brit you are is enough to be dubbed “TERR’IST” - reposted from ContactMusic.com (reposted cuz o’ popups. fk ads)
Singer MORRISSEY was quizzed by the FBI and British intelligence after speaking out against the American and British governments. The Brit is a famous critic of the US-led war in Iraq and has dubbed President GEORGE W BUSH a “terrorist” - but he was baffled to be hauled in by authorities.
Morrissey explains, “The FBI and the Special Branch have investigated me and I’ve been interviewed and taped and so forth.
“They were trying to determine if I was a threat to the government, and similarly in England. But it didn’t take them very long to realise that I’m not.”
“I don’t belong to any political groups, I don’t really say anything unless I’m asked directly and I don’t even demonstrate in public. I always assume that so-called authoritarian figures just assume that pop/rock music is slightly insane and an untouchable platform for the working classes to stand up and say something noticeable.
“My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can’t really speak your mind and if you do you’re investigated.”
While you were muscling your way out of your mom, kids were dancing to this!
Here’s a site that lets you check out what song was at the top of the US or UK charts on your birthday (or any other day for that matter). The site itself looks like it’s linked to the sale of an upcoming book that gives a whole slew of pop music info on every day since the inception of the US and UK charts.
Culture on the chopping block
A kind of disturbing article on the potential sale of 3/4 of SF Japantown, ironically enough, on its 100th anniversary. There’s a petition to try and convince Kinetsu Corp. from going through with the sale, if anyone’s interested in signing.
Diamonds. the other “Rock” people are addicted to… (yes crack you morons.)
Boingboing.net rox my sox. They just reposted an article discussing the economic impacts as well as what pretty much was the diamond industry’s worldwide PSYOPS campaign. Psychologically, consumption is hard wired. Conspicuous consumption, on the other hand, is steadfastly learned. The psychological manipulation of the general populace by savvy marketeers to swing towards such ridiculous norms for financial gains (aka ADVERTISING :P) is somewhat… Well, arseholish. Listerine coined the word HALITOSIS to scare the general (i.e. stupid) populace and drum up sales for its famed mouthwash. BUT mouthwash isn’t exactly a social status/ ritualistic necessity worth billions of dollars and thousands of lives… although some heads should REALLY look into it…esp on bart…
The craving for what essentially is super dense dino doodoo has always eluded me - they’re completely ordinary. on the tip of a drill sure they do great… but shit, if you rub MUD for long enough- it’ll shine… Now that recent developments in manufactured diamonds have peaked- the possibility of the syndicate’s world market collapsing hovers weakly over their heads. Are these cartels indeed holding back the world’s progress by keeping us out of possibly the next age – the Carbon/diamond Age? With cheap manufactured diamonds (aka CARBON) -replacing silicon/IC technology in computers and EVERYTHING from coating engine pistons to sushi knives, life could be improved a hundred fold… Alas the bottom dollar says it all I suppose. And De Beers is certainly not looking forward to this huge paradigm shift. That is, if it ever even happens…this article was after all written 20+ years ago :D
“legitimate diamonds” = sold conflict diamonds
oh and lookie here… De Beers might have lost it. but the market is still awash with ppl pining for that rock… kinda like crack.
Space Battleship YAMATOOOO! err. i mean STARBLAAAAAZZZZZEERRRRS!!!!
Its everyone’s favorite space faring phallus and finally somone decided to rip the gaddam intro. YES, watch n’ feel old. Does anyone even remotely remember Space Pirate Captain Herlock?! He had emo hair n a SCAR- he also piloted a jolly roger emblazoned intergalactic phallus… Robotech was alway ending right as i turned on the TV :(… I won’t even mention ranma- cuz i was way too old to be giggling so hard… (i still laugh. quasi-ashamed.)
To all gamers! *salutes* This one’s for you!
Whether out of solidarity or sympathy, the web short “Fear of Girls” ought to bring a smile to the face of anyone who just wanted to hole themselves up with their games, say bollocks to the rest of the world, and possibly punch someone of the opposite sex out of sheer confusion and inability to deal with feelings of attraction *raises hand*. I hope it brings you all at least +5 enjoyment!
Aerocute!
Hmmm, how is it that I always end up being the one who knows about the Hello Kitty stuff? More importantly, why am I so compelled to buy a flight on one of these . . . . ?
You fly kitty go!
