  YouTube comes through again with badass music. The Tube brings you basically a whole Liquid Tension Experiments concert in a small venue. In fact, not just a small venue, but the NAMM in 1999.. the 3rd show they ever did. Mistakes are made and it still sounds awesome :) Granted, the video and audio on these are  so so , but you cant help but love it if you are into the prog rock. I have linked directly to one video and we will let you go to thoe others if you would like to. For the unfamiliar, Liquid Tension Experiment is an offshoot from Dream Theater. Three DT band members and Tony Levin (who has played with more bands than i can possibly name here) are the core of the band. Date of show: 1/30/1999 Los Angeles, CA Venue: NAMM Time: sometime after @am from what Tony's website says. Set List:  1. Osmosis 2. Paradigm Shift 3. Biaxident 4. Mike & Tony 5. Universal Mind 6. Acid Rain Lineup-  Guitar: John Petrucci Keyboards: Jordan Rudess Bass: Tony Levin Drums: Mi...

  This is a job i would love to have, even if just for a single day..

I went to Toxic Hell (taco bell) today and bought lunch.. I was poor and hungry, can't fault a guy for making brash decisions in a hunger crisis.  What blew me away was the wonderful thing I saw while I was there.  At the table next to me, I witnessed a family of four prayin' before they ate, arms folded elbows on the table style prayer. In my Imagination: "We remember you, Lord, as we eat the seventh layer as it is your layer, and your number. Please remember our hardships and give us your grace to make our fiesta salsa (pico) full of life and flavor.... Ok everyone, eat up.. if you finish your food, maybe we can get God to treat us to Empanadas! " I don't think that even God could make "The Bell" healthy and nourishing....

If religions were like trendy night clubs then preachy Christians, Satanists, Jews, etc.. would be the patrons of the club that are always claiming/bragging that they know the owners. This may be true. It is equally possible that have never met the owners and only know of them through their reputations and rumors. They are just looking for a free drink and access to the VIP room. They are looking to be cool by association, with out actually having the association. They are the ones that don’t allow guest DJ’s to spin new records. If religions were like night clubs, they would be the regulars that might slip a roofie in your drink so that they can take you home and show you that no matter how many times you say “No” your perspective means less than theirs… Because they “Know” the owners of the club, people assume that they belong. From my perspective, I don't mind going to clubs. They don’t generally play music that I like and depending on the night club, the drinks are often p...

What in the world.. I am frustrated here people. How many times is Danny Elfman (Front man of Oingo Boingo and later Boingo) going to be asked to make a score for a movie and have it be the same as many he has done in the past? Don't get me wrong, I love the work he has written, but hearing a new score by him doesn't excite me anymore as I already know what it is going to sound like: fast pace sections, quick changes on the flutes and strings occasional choir-like human vocals.. It used to be “Kick ASS! Another OST by Elfman!” now it is “Oh.. An Elfman soundtrack…” after only few bars into the title theme… It has become that predictable. I admit he does have a range of OST abilities, but as a friend once said “If you listen to enough of this stuff it all sounds the same. After a while you can’t tell the difference between it and Row Row Row your Boat” Examples below are linked to WMA files on the amazon website (30 second clips). If you want to buy one of these pieces ...

  I just got done listening to this hunk of Buttrock shit...... Lyrics: Firehouse - Sleeping With You I don't care what they say I know this is right Because I feel it deep in my heart They say we're young and wild And we should wait for a while But nothing's gonna keep us apart But I don't think we're living in sin So we can't give up, we can't give in Because our love is strong, and it can't be wrong Oo and it feels so right Chorus: So I'll be sleeping with you tonight We'll be together tonight I don't care if it's wrong or right I'll be sleeping with you Sleeping with you tonight So let's give it a try. I know we'll get by Because our love's enough to see us through Well if we take a chance, we can make it at last I know that it's the right thing to do But I don't think we're living in sin So we can't give up, we can't give in Because our love is strong, and it can't we wrong Oh and it feels so r...

At first I was confused when someone sent this site to me. Scott starts the article off critiquing something he read in the National Review (magazine) . Unfortunately, it isn't till you scroll about halfway through that you start really understanding as he posts copied text from the article into the second half. Afterward, I wholly support going back and reading the first half as it will make more sense and is really very good. Getting to the point - What is this? It is a list of the 50 greatest “Conservative rock songs”. After each song you have a delightful look at what was going through their mind/why they felt it ranked. The saddest bit is that most of the songs are not all that great. Good? yes… Great? no… Some of the loose connections made in their explanations are hilarious. Others make you feel sad for the human race and it’s inbred stupidity… We need fresh DNA people.. http://scottpeterson.typepad.com/leftofthedial/2006/05/rockin_the_righ.html Related only by...

Office of Mayor Tom Potter City of Portland MEDIA ADVISORY CONTACT Date: May 24, 2006 John Doussard: 503-823-2855 E-mail: jdoussard@ci.portland.or.us MAYOR POTTER WRITES OPEN LETTER TO PORTLANDERS OVER FBI’S BEHAVIOR Mayor Tom Potter has released an open letter to the community describing an attempt by an FBI agent to recruit an informant inside the offices of City Hall. Federal authorities have since told the Mayor that they know of no public corruption in Portland and are not conducting any investigation of the City. In his letter, the Mayor tells the community that the attempt comes “at an uneasy time for many Americans. In the past few weeks, we have learned that our phone records are not private, and conversations are monitored without warrants.” Mayor Potter concludes that, in the absence of any suspicion of wrongdoing, the agency’s actions smack of “Big Brother.” The Mayor’s complete text can be viewed at http://www.portlandonline.com/mayor Full Text: A...

Special features are no longer special features. When will all the DVD manufacturers and Hollywood exec-types get it into their heads? These things were once special.. but no more! Remember those really big DVDs back in the 80′s?.. Some of us remember they had names like Laserdisc’s. To quote Mark from SLC Punk “This looks like a silver record, but it’s not a silver record.”. Point is, guess what, they had special features too. From my crap filled perspective, to be termed special you need to provide something that is above and beyond what was expected by the consumer. At this point, additional DVD content is demanded by the public. To produce a DVD that does not have content besides the main film is to disappoint the home audience and possibly lose sales. So hey.. Quit calling them special already eh? Instead, only do it when you have something truly wonderful.. Calling them special at this point is like still calling ADD and ADHD a “disorder”. When enough of a given population exhibi...

  all of them can be found here. There is a definite "Bratz" theme going on. this stems from the fact that i was able to get a box of the valentines cards a few years back for a quarter and was going to torture friends with them. this seemsed more worthy at the time. these are images that i just scanned but were holdovers from the old site. the address on them still works but will eventually be retired. This is my favorite image from this last batch:

I went to the Hollywood theater tonight and watched the new Spike Lee produced film “CSA: Confederate States of America”.. Based around the  Confederate government during the Civil War , the movie shows a version of what the world could have been, had the Confederate armies beaten out the Union and the south were the victors of the American Civil War. There are a lot of similarities to our modern lives, and many instances in the movie were based off of factual situations (propaganda, advertisements, Civil War history). Much of it was meant to be humorous, and in some places sickening.. All in all I loved hating it and vice-versa. I would highly suggest it for any history buffs or just the generally curious. Be warned though, you have to laugh sometimes, otherwise, the ideas it throws out can get painful.. Really painful. Laughter is a mechanism for coping.  Movie site http://www.csathemovie.com/

  The wheels recieve the image data based of signals they recieve via wireless modem (from the in vehicle computer). How bad ass would it be if someone hacked or hijacked the signal and changed someones pimped ride into a bill board saying "I have Herpes" ? or if a device were made to easily interrupt their signal with an out of order phrase!

  Pimpstar wheels Watch the Video! "The PimpStar is a huge leap forward in the evolution of the wheel. With the PimpStar's built-in full color LED lights, microprocessor and wireless modem, you can display virtually any image, including text, graphics, logos, and even digital photos!  The included software allows you to create your own images and send them to each wheel individually or all wheels at the same time as you drive! You can even pre-load up to six images into each wheel and program them to change automatically at the time intervals you select. The wheels are environmentally sealed, so you don't have to worry about going to the car wash; and they are powered by the vehicle electrical system so there are no batteries to run out or change, ever." i dont know if i am frightened or incredibly fucking impressed.. i think a little of both.

A quote from the movie “Tom and Viv” (IMDB). Movie is a version of the difficulties T.S. Eliot and his wife Vivienne had during and after they were married. Doctor: We consider it a secondary form of mental disease, and it is notorious in attacking young women of exceptional gifts. The patient fails to understand her social position and her duty to society. She becomes vulgar and impulsive and frequently shows a rebellious disregard for propriety. And it is this condition that the law and the medical professions define as “Moral Insanity”. T.S. Eliot: Insanity? Doctor: Technically, yes. It was likely she was only (moderately) chemically unbalanced but “modern medicine” was unable to see it. I had to quote the movie, dramatized as it was, because it cracked me up. Per the Doctor, half to a third of the people I know are suffering from “Moral Insanity”. According to Wikipedia: Moral insanity was proposed as a category of medical diagnosis by Dr. James Prichard in 1835. He d...

  This card was going to Custom Rodder magazine ( website ) with well over a thousand images in the gallery and more on their way, many times awesome images are completely lost in the shuffle. we will be posting "random" cards so that people can see some of these. by random i mean that i find it and say "oh yeah!" or someone says i should highlight it. please remember to leave comments or rate images you enjoy as this raises the likelyhood of other people running across it.. hell, i only remember about 1/3 of what has been posed so i would be glad to look at something again :) As it is a common theme for a series of cards that were submitted, those of you who dont know what bukake is should  check out this link for a definition (sexual term, possibly NSFW) Other Bukake themed cards include but are not limited to  Bukake Time  and  the Headsmasher Bukake

  1. Mexico or Japan? Why? Neither. i have been obsessed with both for a period, but have since come to the realization that neither are desired. they are pale comparisons of themselves even 50 years ago. instead i would choose castro era cuba, once he is removed/dies i will lose interest. 2. Cream cheese or cheddar? cream cheese. the preference exists because it is always smooth, where as cheddar has the capability of being way to sharp which i dislike greatly. i would pass them both up for some cottage cheese on club crackers any day. 3. Just how many nicknames have you had? currently, just the one. all other nicknames have been long dead and forgotten. in total probably in the 3-4 range. unless you count petnames.. which i dont. 4. How much is that doggy in the window? free. dogs shouldnt be sold. 5. When are you going to become a teacher? i teach people every day. thats what human interaction is best for. the transfer of information to and from yourself in an effort to gain kno...

  On the bus today, i had the good fortune to sit next to a kid who was decked out in Slipknot gear. He must have been attempting to support the band financially by himself. He had on a Slipknot ski hat, Slipknot t-shirt, Slipknot patch on his backpack, stupid kid patchy badly cut Slipknot fan goatee.. he was staring down anyone nearby like he thought he was a total badass. across the isle, an old woman sneezed and do you know what he did?? He said, "Bless you." to which she replied, "Thank you."

  .......... 10,000 days has some of the most incredible packaging i have seen in years....... i must.. put it away.. before my boss.. complains at me.... DAMN YOU WORK PEOPLE FOR MAKING ME STOP EXPLORING THIS ARTWORK!

I am looking for Covers of songs that do not sound exactly like the original. they can sound the same but have a bad ass guitar solo or something in it and that counts. preferably, i am looking for suggestions that are noticiably different all the way through, like Living Colour's cover of "Memories Can't Wait" by the talking heads. they made it so much their own that you cant tell its a cover unless you really pay attention. really though, any suggestions of good, not precise covers would be welcome. all genre of music are being accepted. anyone who assists will reap the wealth of the final output.. more on that later :) just list the titles in comments and i will find the music myself. Hook me up people!

  (edit: 5/16/25 - moved image from photosled) WHOIS: 34.168.1.34 anyone have a clue why halliburton would be port scanning my system every 12 hours? ive looked up the port and there is no obvious program or ideas from that direction. its incoming so its not a viral issue on my part. i am guessing it is some form of web survey but out of all the standard scans that occur every day, this one doesnt make any sense based off the info i have. additional information would stave my curiousity off for a bit
