A friend just asked me to look at the work of someone whose work I did not know, which was on the web, and also someone other friends of mine liked. In reproduction it was very hard for me to work out a clear response. The use of a brushstroke which affects the character of the image we observed,...
Comparison of Husker Du’s ‘Diane’, to the Therapy? Cover version of the same track. In addition I shall look at the reasons behind the recording of a track with such debauched imagery, allusion and ideology. In this paper I compare two versions of a haunting track called ‘Diane’. The...
some years back, soo suggested that as a christmas gifts to each other, we could each compose the equivalent of a mix tape for each other of the "essential music" of our collections. the details of "essential music" were left to us to determine. (for example, i expected a CD of nothing but guided by...
As history demonstrates, all peoples, cultures, and civilizations are not equal. Some have achieved greatness often, others never. All lifestyles are not equal. All religions are not equal. All ideas are not equal. Indeed, what is true martyrdom but that most eloquent and compelling of all...
Here's the deal: I'm in the KROQ Street Team and we pretty much get to buy tickets before they go on sale to the public. Today from 4-5PM was our day to buy tickets for Kroq's Weenie Roast y Fiesta 2007 (that's what they're calling it this year). It's 4:42 as I'm trying this up right now and I've...
I guess I came back to VOX not because I wanted too, but because I had no other option. I really don't want to bore my MySpace friends with bulletins of me ranting about whatever I feel like and I don't have a LiveJournal or a BlogSpot, but I do have a VOX so here I am. I already added and entry for...

Darkest Hour is coming to Nashville February 3rd... which is frikkin awesome. I am however conflicted... the show is at Rocketown. You see Rocketown was a club started up by Christian recording artist Michael W Smith many years ago and time and time again it has gone through revamps. It used to be a...
On recent years these guys have become more vocal on their state of current affairs, as reflected in this particular song in this politically-charged album. In fact Fat Mike was responsible for gathering great bands such as ALKALINE TRIO, SOCIAL DISTORTION, ANTI-FLAG, DESCENDENTS, PENNYWISE, RISE...

Those who understand only what can be explained understand very little. - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Austrian writer of psychological novels (1830-1916) We live in a world molded to a great extent by both science and economics. They don't control our moment to moment existence, but they form the...

I just discovered Vox now allows the creation of Groups (known to many as communities). I have created a few groups, and will likely create a few more in the future. For now, though, the following are newly-created groups on Vox. The only groups for these subjects, too. Get in on the ground-floor!...
I'm finally ripping every CD as well as picking up a bunch of jewels from Yahoo Music Unlimited. Pretty cool service, you just have to be ok with never owning the music, but rather renting it. Anyway, DRM = Boring. Some choice obscure tunes I liked listening to tonight. These are from my 15 year old...
It's tragic thing, but I find I'm constantly mutilating songs, jingles and old TV show themes. I can't help myself! I'll be washing dishes and realize that under my breath I'm singing, "I'd like the world to go fuck itself in perfect harmony..." What a rude, stupid, and infantile habit to be saddled...
If you have ever wondered what a lazy day in my life is like, look no further. So, this morning, I woke up pretty early, just so I could get a jump-start on a Monday morning. That's very productive of me, usually I wake up with five minutes before I have to walk out the door. Then, I went to school,...
