TOP 10 MOST RIDICULOUS BLACK METAL PICS OF ALL TIME - Can't remember who I nicked this from now :/

As a young man living in the United States, two of the most overwhelming forces in my life are President George W. Bush, and my dick. Roaming the wilds of the internet yesteday, I spent the majority of click-time on two things: porn, and photos of protestors getting beat up at the inauguration of Bush’s second term. The former gave me a righteous hard-on, the latter just made me furious. Two powerful emotions, and nowhere to put them. Until now.

Bikes Against Bush Kinberg Case Dismissed

Atari Age - new atari 2600 games, Atari-related music, etc. Nice to see a similar scene to that which the C64 has enjoyed cropping up for Atari

PWEI

The poppies were excellent, but this seems to be ground well-trodden on my friends list :)

Excellent range of tunes, tight, energetic performance, electric atmosphere and moshing absolutely fucking mandatory.

While feeling a bit rough from the previous night's fun, I said "Nah, I'm not really gonna mosh, I'm just gonna stand back and enjoy it". Eris commented that it was a wise idea to "Keep an eye on Sexbat, and don't be in the same place as he is, then - a tactic that will usually keep you on the right side of any given police line, too, I might add." - I smiled and nodded, the first song started, I lost sight of Liz as the tsunami of people launched me into the air and forwards, and there, bobbing merrily to my immediate left is Sexbat. Things proceeded as one might anticipate :)

Hilariously, Eris and myself got interviewed briefly for BBC6's report on the gig, so listen out for Eris saying (when asked if we thought PWEI were influential) "You can fucking BET that Linkin Park have every single Poppies record and play them religiously!" - heheh.

Also bought myself a beanie hat and "SAMPLE IT, LOOP IT, FUCK IT, EAT IT" t-shirt (for shame on the people buying the shit quality knock-offs from the ravens outside when there were such a range of good official ones inside).

Also, I didn't buy one, but they were selling "Instant Live" CDs - a perfect way to counter bootleg taping, they give you a high-quality recording of the show you just watched 10 minutes after the last song finishes. Cracking idea, and the band actually benefit from it. Score.

All in all, icksilint!

Awwww, fucking man!

A) There's a Wikipedia entry regarding The Game

which means

B) We all just fucking lost. Again.

You're dead, sobrique

I have a mate coming to visit for the weekend, looking for good Vegan food in London, preferably central/TCR sort of area or north east, sort of Finsbury Park area.

Any recommendations?

Our fine and esteemed colleagues at Earth Loop Recall have two tracks added to their media section, "Futureless" and "Compulsion" (there are three other tracks in there, too - go look!)

while I think about it, if you haven't heard it before...
