There's gonna be a lot of people walkin around Hamilton today with DT's....

Don't bother. neither are open today.

.... no, the the new smashing pumpkins album, but a new film. In response to mattm's "spp" thread, I felt compelled to share this with you all: Zeitgeist The Movie What does Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve all have in common? It's just under two hours long, but well worth the watch. ***WARNING: There is some pretty heavy imagery (war/911 footage) used, especially in the opening montage. So if you have kids around or if you are faint of heart, be aware.*** Although I'm well aware that this probably belongs in the politics forum, I firmly believe that as many people should see this film as possible. As always, "agreement is not neccesary, thinking for one's self is."

After working at the beer store for ten (yikes!) years, I have become quite the amateur sociologist. That being said, when faced with the choice between quality and quantity(either in volume or higher alchohol content) the average beer drinker will choose quantity nine times out of ten. Another oddity is what I call the "cracker-jack" theory... meaning people will buy a beer they normally never would just because there's a trinket/t-shirt in the case. I know there's gotta be at least of couple of you on this board who bought a case of bud light because they had the hockey hats in them...

... than the vid i posted the other day! hahahahaha

The best five seconds of video on the internet (turn your speakers on)

HUUUUUUGE fan of the dystopian future books (although that kinda disturbs me a little haha) 1984 changed my life, and I remember not being able to put Oryx and Crake down. Fahrenheit 451 had a big impact on me as well. I just watched Children of Men last night and was glued to it the whole time. The one shot battle scene was really impressive and I damn near bit my nails off. I also agree with Kanada Kev, 28 days later was BADASS (another movie love, ZOMBIES!) They made a sequel and it looks deadly! 28 Weeks Later

heh heh heh Oh Stonemtn

Save a cow, eat a vegan!

uh.... that looks like CG to me. Either way, it's a super cool vid :thumbup:

I believe Bob Moses was taking issue with artists like Merenda and Kenny G(who I believe should be taken out back and shot with a ball of his own poop) that are exploiting the names of these jazz giants for their own ends. Covering tunes happens all the time in jazz. In fact, it happens so much that these tunes become "standards". Any working jazz musician worth his salt is expected to know a great number of these "standards". The language of jazz is highly sophisicated and complex to say the least, and it can take a lifetime to understand(I've been in college for three years now studying it and i've only begun to scratch the surface) The years of study devoted to understanding the fundamental aspects of jazz(like chord/scale relationships, the ability to listen and react to harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic ideas etc.) are only tools to get you to what jazz really is about... and that,(in my most humble opinion) is INTERPRETATION. You could get 10 different groups of jazz musicians to play, say, "autumn leaves" and I guarantee no two versions would sound alike. So yes, it's great that bands like Sister's Euclid, MMW, Garcia/Grisman, cover the likes of Mingus, Miles etc. because they are honestly following the jazz spirit of interpretation, not just shamelessly using another artist's name as a promotional tool to sell more albums/tickets. P.S. Kenny G should apologize to everyone, everywhere for ever picking up a horn. Seriously.

That's so Mormon!

Here's a pretty informative site: Operation Clambake plus, the scientology episode of south park is on there. I think L. Ron Hubbard defines the term "megalomaniac"

Both of the shows are dynamite! I guess Turner broadcasting got fined like 2 million or something for the stunt... and that's nothing to pay considering the amount of publicity they got out of it.
