  1. It's called "In Here" and I can't find the lyrics for it on this site or any other. I have the mp3 of it, the quality's not great but not the worst either, and very obviously Matthew's voice; apparently this song recorded in the days before MGB. Anyone heard it or know what I'm talking about??
  2. So everyone just picks which they like better of the two?? Strange Days Load Me up The Rat Who Would Be King Fall of Man Under the Influence Running for Home
  3. Has anyone else made the same observations?? In the name of national security in times of terror threat, the Bush administration has placed limits on the first amendment (freedom of speech) and the right to privacy for example the Patriot Act the FBI and CIA can listen into phone conversations, read emails, view your medical records, and so on without probable cause or the authorization of a judge as was required before. The logic behind that is that terrorists may be speaking to each other making plans so best limit freedom of speech so they can't say much and get away with it. At the same time the conservatives are extremely protective of the 2nd amendment (the right to bear arms), for example Bush's disinterest in renewing the ban on assualt weapons in September. Is it just my thinking or wouldn't having the right to bear arms be of more benefit to terrorists than freedom of speech. I mean it seems like the attitude here is let me buy all the grenade launchers and submachineguns I want but heaven forbid I badmouth Bush. Edit: spelling
  4. Well they put out their single "Mein Teil" (My Part) a little while ago, their next single "Amerika" is going to be out in several days, their 4th album "Reise, Reise" (Journey Journey) is supposed to be released Sept 20th.
  5. Allen Ginsbergwas one of the greatest of American poets in my opinion. Ginsberg's poetry was/is infamous for its lashing out against the government, its drug influences, and sometimes explicit content. The building responsible for printing one of his books ("Howl and Other Poems") was actually seized by the government during the obscenity trials that gave Ginsberg a massive amount of publicity in the 1950's. Of course not all of his poetry was controversial, some was actually quite "conventional." I think his work is definitely worth sharing... Some of my personal favorites: Homework If I were doing my Laundry I'd wash my dirty Iran I'd throw in my United States, and pour on the Ivory Soap, scrub up Africa, put all the birds and elephants back in the jungle, I'd wash the Amazon river and clean the oily Carib & Gulf of Mexico, Rub that smog off the North Pole, wipe up all the pipelines in Alaska, Rub a dub dub for Rocky Flats and Los Alamos, Flush that sparkly Cesium out of Love Canal Rinse down the Acid Rain over the Parthenon & Sphinx, Drain the Sludge out of the Mediterranean basin & make it azure again, Put some blueing back into the sky over the Rhine, bleach the little Clouds so snow return white as snow, Cleanse the Hudson Thames & Neckar, Drain the Suds out of Lake Erie Then I'd throw big Asia in one giant Load & wash out the blood & Agent Orange, Dump the whole mess of Russia and China in the wringer, squeeze out the tattletail Gray of U.S. Central American police state, & put the planet in the drier & let it sit 20 minutes or an Aeon till it came out clean A Western Ballad When I died, love, when I died my heart was broken in your care; I never suffered love so fair as now I suffer and abide when I died, love, when I died. When I died, love, when I died I wearied in an endless maze that men have walked for centuries, as endless as the gate was wide when I died, love, when I died. When I died, love, when I died there was a war in the upper air: all that happens, happens there; there was an angel by my side when I died, love, when I died. America Ode to the Setting Sun The wrathful East of smoke and iron Crowded in a broken crown; The Archer of the Jersey mire Naked in a rusty gown; Railroad creeping toward the fire Where the carnal sun goes down. Apollo's shining chariot's shadow Shudders in the mortal bourn; Amber shores upon the meadow Where Phaƫthon falls forlorn Fade in somber chiaroscuro, Phantoms of the burning morn. Westward to the world's blind gaze, In funeral of raining cloud, The motionles cold Heavens blaze, BOrn out of a dying crowd; Daybreak in the end of days, Bloody light beneath the shroud. In vault dominion of the night The hosts of prophecy convene, Till, empire of the lark alight, Their bodies waken as we dream, And put our raiment on, and bright Crown, still haloed though unseen. Under the earth there is an eye Open in a sightless cave, And the skull in Eternity Bares indifference to the grave: Earth turns, and the day must die, And the sea accepts the wave. My bones are carried on the train Westward where the sun has gone; Night has darkened in the rain, And the rainbow day is done; Cities age upon the plain And smoke rolls upward out of stone
  6. Know what the difference is between Iraq and Vietnam?? Bush had an exit strategy in Vietnam.
  7. They are one of my favorite bands, with a unique sound and dark lyrics, they've cause their fair share of controversy. This is their latest music video "Amerika" Windows Media: 56k Broadband Real Media 56k Broadband
