Rock & Roll Review

So almost a week later, I guess I could write something about the Matthew Good show. It was, as expected, a fantastic show, replete with humourous banter, and Ted Nugent appreciation. The highlights for me were Prime Time Deliverance, Silent Army in the Trees, a 5 minute tangent about the miraculous healing powers of ingested Vick's VapoRub and the acoustic re-working of Suburbia, which I hope to be laid down at some point in a studio setting.

It was so good infact that I attempted to get last minute tickets for the Hamilton show, but by the time I was able to find someone that wanted to go with me, a trip to pick up tickets in Mississauga from the seller on eBay, and then backtrack to Hamilton would have put us 45 minutes into Matt's set.

The time since has been filled with little to no work to do, an e-mail to potential Masters supervisors for the winter, and the first 3 seasons of the Office since Monday night. I caught what I assumed to be a re-run about 2 months ago and finally remembered to download some last week. Those who have seen it know by now why I haven't been able to stop watching since, those who haven't, this is what torrents are for. Absolute hilarity, though Steve Carell's character does get to be a bit much at times. I'm sure in the normal half hour prescribed doses, there's no issue, but that's what a slightly addictive personality will do.

This post would have been a lot better if my camera wasn't a piece of shit in low any light.

BlackD'yerRoll

8 hours driving, and 10 hours of actual dirty fieldwork in the past 2 days. Its nice when the time flies like that, though you can only play along with so many classic rock trivia call-in shows before you feel you should really call in with the answer and save the poor people. That is until you remember that the tickets they're giving away are for a Pink Floyd cover act and some Canadian 80's rock bands who, while catchy, are not great.

If only I could have remembered that drum outtro was from Rock and Roll, I would have been at a Loverboy show.

But instead, I'll be at the Matt Good acoustic show on campus tomorrow night. Small venue, acoustic show, and decent sound from every show I've ever seen there; it all promises to be a good show. And since I'm working on campus tomorrow, I may have to try to drop by and see if I can coerce my way into a sound check, though I won't keep my hopes up.

Parabolic Annoying

I'm all for technological advance in delivering better sound and video to me at home infront of the TV, particularly when it comes to sports coverage. But all day today I've noticed, particularly in the NFL coverage, but also baseball, that they've taken it too far. I don't mind the features where they mic up players and take soundbytes though a game. Interviewing baseball managers early in innings is also tolerable. What I can't take now is listening to the fucking 13 year-old kid in the second row screaming incoherent gibberish repeatedly and it being picked up on the game audio and getting pumped into my rec room.

Also, the 49ers are now 2-0...NFC Championship is next!

For the non-sports inclined...I picked up tickets to the Matt Good stop in town the other day, and am pumped for that. That is, if I'll be in town. The prof I'm working for this term wants to meet this week, presumably to discuss upcoming work in Wisconsin, South Carolina, Florida, Wyoming, and/or California; all of which I will do my best to avoid.

Until then, someone please shut up this goddamned kid in Miami.

“Blow them all away in the name of the Lord.”

Well, I was feeling uninspired to write anything at all, until I happened to check my comments and found the following:
Drive-by shootings were punishment for listening to gangster rap.
The regions in Africa that suffer from drought/famine are the same that have a very high incidence of female genitile mutilation.



Manifest Destiny dictates a white-man's prophecy - White-man's world, white-man's Apocolypse

Twenty-somethings are conditioned to respond positively to magic::::::they are the extacy generation.
This is not by accident. Expect they will be an important generation ("in charge", etc) when the battle between the Anti-Christ and Second Coming of Christ ocurrs.
This of course will be a 20-year war-revelry cycle distraction theater, and they want these people consumed by the high level of magic that will ocurr.
This generation is The Damned.
You're all going to die PEAKING like you're on X.


Austrian Sigmund Freud is known as the father of psychoanalysis, yet people have (mental) health problems because of their disfavor, illustrating the preditory purpose of this discipline, this individual.
These people.
Of course Hitler was Austrian:::An Austrian-born leading a foreign nation. Glock, maker of the semi-automatic gun favored by black street gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips, is Austrian.
RedBull Energy drink, Buwdeiser both Austrian. What role do Austrians play in the cigarette industry??

The Holocaust was foreshadowing, yet another example of the Jews sacrificing to help the disfavored::::
1. 1492 exodus from Spain. Spain became evil - financed Columbus, initiated missionaries, USA (dumping ground of disfavored victimized by god), etc.
2. Spread throughout Europe as clue to Christians worshipping a false god.
3. "Quasi-Holocaust claim" contradicting boss.
4. 5. 6. 7. etc. etc. etc.
The Apocalypse (or an Apocalyptic event) will be initiated by an Austrian. When the national referendum to allow foreign-born individuals to run for president is introduced I recommend you DEFY and vote NO!! In the years prior to this vote the gods will send POWERFUL clues suggesting the IMPORTANCE OF DEFIANCE.

Apex of irony in the Situaiton:::Jew calls in Quasi-Holocaust claim and takes boss, re-igniting the flames of anti-Semitism among blacks & rednecks in the crucial years before the black holocaust:::::::

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Italy's boot is a clue showing the god's intent with the Romans AND their active involvement::::The gods micromanaged the Eutruscans into their role as Romans, just as they micromanaged me with Artificial Intelligence into the role they scripted for this Situation.
Oshkosh is a clue just as Lake Michigan and Green Bay are clues::::Oshkosh is the ejaculate clue:::Life springs forth from this region.
Expect your traditional Second Coming of Christ to come from the region. The gods dirtied me up but the Second Coming will be squeeky clean. Consistant with the possibility of matrilinial lineage it may be the mother's family from the Lake Win

Ripe with its typos, its also got an abundance of its own conspirational religious undertones. Not sure if its a new bot out there that posts on halo scan, a whacked out random, or a friend fucking with the comments, but feel free to opine.

The post title is ripped from this collection and commentary on Jerry Falwell by Roy El-Saghir over at MG.

Also expanding on the slightly fanatic, I'm interested in seeing the Panorama feature on BBC on Scientology in light of the controversy around it. The British scientologists are apparently offering their own video rebuttal which I'll also try to view to get all sides, but its been my understanding for a while that Scientology is just a money-grubbing cult on growth hormones with celebrity backers. Perhaps there are some misrepesentations by radical splinters of scientology like those in Islam that BushCo seek to 'democratize' and so on, but I have a feeling that the BBC report, and others aren't so far from the truth from the reactions they elicit.

Otherwise, like I lead with, I am uninspired.
