Dgenetics

This is an awesome promo for a music managment company called Dgenetics from somewhere on the east coast. At least that's where all the guys are from.

That's What She Said

Quick Update

It's been a long week. Made it home for one night before I have to be back in on a Sunday. I'll leave you with this Lakai Fully Flared intro; gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

Hopefully sometime this coming week I'll have internet in my barracks room and I can update this thing on a regular basis.

I am Batman

On the eve of the eve of the midnight release of The Dark Knight, I wonder, how dark will it be? Christian Bale has played some pretty dark characters; The Machinist, American Psycho. And we all know how into his character Heath Ledger got (too much sadly). Here's hoping it blows me away, which a new movie hasn't done in awhile. Oh, WALL-E was cute though.

Dear RIAA...

Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.

Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts."

This music arrived unexpectedly as the result of an experiment. The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as... something.

The team: Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder and myself with some help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. Rob Sheridan collaborated with Artist in Residence (A+R) to create the accompanying visual and physical aesthetic.

We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear we were on to something, and a lot of material began appearing. What we thought could be a five song EP became much more. I invited some friends over to join in and we all enjoyed the process of collaborating on this.

The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we're able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we've ever created.

More volumes of Ghosts are likely to appear in the future.

Faux News

Comic

Everyday I come over and my mom has the tv on, even if she isn't sitting in front of it, she has Fox News on. I asked her once why she watches it, and she said because its entertaining. I'm sorry but when I want the hear what's going on around the world, thats just it... I don't want jazz hands or women reporters who in any other situation would be considered MILFS. Fox News is not a new channel, it's part of a network that airs Cops, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, and... American Idol. It is not "fair and balanced", it is meant to entertain. Let's not forget Bill O'Oreilly is also part of the Fox News crew and I may be going out on a limb here, but that guy is about as far off "balance" as you can get.

MGMT Time to Pretend

This song is about doing drugs, and I approve.

"WHEN YOU'RE PUSHED, KILLING IS AS EASY AS BREATHING"

"WAKE ME WHEN YOU NEED ME"

Beaten. I take back everything I said about the Halo series. Fun, decent epic story, and at the end I said to myself "thats one bad ass dude". I still hate Halo fanboys.

HALO TRES

The Halo series has ruined millions of adult lives, and a few children's too. Yet I stand before you today to declare it a massive achievement of the human race. Thank you Lord Microsoft for this gift you have bestowed upon us. I swear to uphold the covenant and collect as many hidden skulls as possible in your name. I also hate Halo fanboys. At least I'm done my G damn job in a few days, which leaves me plenty of time to rank up in multiplayer...

Mass [time sink]

Well I blew (maybe not blew, because it wasn't really 'wasted') my paycheck on an Xbox 360. I've been wanting one for a few months now but have had other things i've needed to spend money on. It feels good finally buying it for myself though. Along with the Pro edition (no point in blowing another $100 on the elite for a black paint job, an hdmi cable, and 100 gigs of HD space i wont fill) I purchased Mass Effect. After hearing so much about it, the previews then the reviews I had to get it. I haven't played a solid single player RPG in quite awhile so its refreshing to dive into one so deep as Mass Effect. I've only spent about 2 hours playing and I've probably touched about 2% of the total content available. I feel like a kid again sitting in math class throwing ideas around in my head on how ill level my character and should he become specialized in this weapon or that weapon? Seriously I can remember sitting in classes in high school and drawing out flow charts on what paths to take in games, and throwing down sell prices for items and how could I raise enough for that one I wanted? It's official... I'm still a nerd.

Yep, that's about right

You have to give them credit

They are standing up for something they believe in.
