no yu begin wher i end

I suppose I should elaborate on that a little: I would smoke pot if I knew I could trust the source. And if I felt like getting high. Apparently, though, I don't need drugs or alcohol to act like I'm high. Everyone thought I was stoned on New Years, although I wasn't. Good times.

I don't do drugs, mainly because I don't trust their source. A guy down the street from me smoked some weed with other crap mixed in with it and had a heart attack. This was about 4 years ago when he was in grade 9. I don't drink alcohol since I don't really like how it tastes.

Wasn't that Pony Boy, not All Together?

Right, but after it was Operation Mongoose which lasted about a year and essentially scared the Cubans into the arms of the Soviets.

Shit son, that's an excellent set. Was Suburbia sung with the additional lyrics at the end?

Whatever tickles your fancy.

The Cold War did turn hot, so to speak, in several other conflicts around the world. Vietnam comes to mind, as well as the Israel-Arab wars, where the Israelis were armed and backed by the States and the Arabs were armed by the Soviets. I think that JFK almost turned the Cold War "hot" by being over-zealous in trying to oust Castro. Fidel didn't even align himself with the USSR until after the Bay of Pigs and Operation Mongoose. Castro feared the US and so he naturally turned to the only other superpower that could protect his regime, the Soviets. The heightened tensions eventually culminated in the Cuban Missle Crisis. All this could have been avoided had Kennedy not been so zealous in his crusade against communism. Hot damn, History of the Americas is paying off!

Gulags were the chain of labour camps in the former Soviet Union where (mainly) political prisoners were sent, I believe. At least that's what I could pick up from reading A Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich in English class. The gulag reference comes from the Amnesty International report calling the prisons at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay part of "the gulag of our times." In connection with this poster and another one I posted in a thread about a month or so back, it's a sarcastic comparison of totalitarianism with the heightened sense of fear in the United States. (I know, this one is in England, but the other one was in the US.)

The biggest problem I see with the "official story" (to use such a hideous term) is the lack of air cover for jets. NORAD is supposed to be notified once a plane moves eleven degrees (or so)beyond its planned flight or fails to properly communicate with air traffic control. It doesn't mean there was some government conspiracy, but it has to raise some serious questions about the air traffic controller of the day or whatever prevented jets from being scrambled. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/de...842.html?page=1 This is a good article for debunking conspiracy theories.

Alright, I'll check them out.

There was a great article in Popular Mechanics a few months ago debunking myths about 9/11. It's really interesting, I should try and find a link to it. Edit: Here it is.

Don't keep us in suspense ;) . Never mind. I've listened to Deja Vu, Monsters, Photograph, and Back To You. I didn't think they were that great. Are there any other songs by them that are better that you would recommend?

Red Right Hand - Nick Cave

Satan is violent video games.

If anyone wants, I can post the complete Pink Floyd set with Yousendit, uninterrupted.

Oleo - Sonny Rollins

It's the story in Matt's Book (At Last There is Nothing Left to Say) about the Jenni in Jenni's Song... i went and found Night Opus on a website with all the matt good manifestos and read a bit into it, and i dont think that it's in At last There Is Nothing Left To Say but i dont have the time to go flipping through the book right now the double check that... Yeah, it's there.

The only MG concert I've been able to see was last June at Summer Vortex when he stopped playing to yell at the idiots who were moshing up front. It went pretty well after that, mainly because it was the last song (Hello Time Bomb) and a bunch of people left before the encore. It was a solid show and thankfully the moshers didn't ruin it. I could've seen him during the POYL tour, but had to play at a divisional band concert instead. That was a kick in the pants.

My band directors had his anti-Kenny G rant posted on the bulletin board in the band room for a while. I got quite a kick out of reading it. Anyhoo, if you're looking for musicians who are still alive, then Dave Holland is pretty good, Metheney and Wynton Marsalis are great, too.

Well, I guess it is kind of romantic in that way, but still, who wants an abusive father?

Well, he is supporting a GH/Best Of release, so probably a little bit from each album plus any new material. Personally, I'd love to hear The War Is Over if/when he comes through Winnipeg.

Ephel Duath are crazy. In a good way.

http://www.49music.net/main/?type=art&artid=1&act=36 I think this has either most or all of the online poetry sans the pictures.

You wish you had an abusive father? ;) She got beat on mostly for being at home, so mostly she wasn't there :angry: Don't mean to be an asshole or anything, I just don't find that situation to be terribly romantic.

Why would you do that when everything he posts gets posted here?
