Week of 02 Sep

Check out this mysterious Incident in St Louis MO from Pandemic Chronicle.

Here are a bunch of vid's over the controversy of the dread marijuana. It's time to heed the words of Peter Tosh, in the final vid on the page: Legalize it.

This one's mostly for me, later, as I'm sure the majority of you have grown a bit tired of my harping on Judea & the Holocaust. IDEA Feature Articles on the Holocaust & other atrocities.

What a great idea. Wonder whatever happened to this....

Thanks to the luscious & lovely Liquid, I now have a new favorite band called Elbow. You must see this Elbow concert. As recommended by Liquid, go full-screen, if your 'puter can manage. You won't be disappointed.

Interesting exploration -- or fantasy -- concerning how advanced older civilizations might be: The Physics of Extraterrestrial Civilizations.

The truth revealed.

Too weird: The Telemegaphone.

This is certainly not license to run out & have all sorts of unprotected sex -- wonderful as that would be, &, of course, a study proving one thing today is often proved wrong by another study tomorrow, but this article (similar to anther I'd recently read & may have posted) is very interesting. Biologists Discover Why 10 Percent Of Europeans Are Safe From HIV Infection.

I love rebels.

Finally, an excellent company picnic.

  Terrorism is the war of the poor,
and war is the terrorism of the rich.

And she's done it again. Either Ms Liquid really knows music, or she's shimmied her way into the darker spaces of my mind & read the fine print of my very Self. Below are two videos from another incredible band out of England named The Doves. The first is a happy, little tune called Pounding from their The Last Broadcast release, & the second is (IIRC) There Goes The Fear also from The Last Broadcast.

Speaking of incredible music, many years ago I'd picked up an LP at a used record shop in the West Village which I'd lost in a move. I've tried to find it off & on again, but I'm having no luck. All this time, I've thought it was definitely entitled Dave Mason of Traffic fame, but I just looked at the Dave Mason official Web site to find that none of the covers look familiar. I know -- covers get changed. But the one track title (or partial title) I remember (& I think it was the last track) was either The Seven Sisters, or Seven Sisters was a secondary title of the track. The song, as with most every other track, was haunting & melancholy. This track told the story of the Seven Sisters, Orion, & Electra (who, if you don't know, is the seventh sister who was loved by Orion -- she hides from him, which is to explain -- despite this aspect of the myth isn't mentioned on Wikipedia -- why the Pleiades appears to be composed of only six stars). I imagine it also had some other significance, but I can't remember the other lyrics in the track.

Does this sound even remotely familiar to anyone? It was likely released either in the mid-80's to early 90's....

You must check out Vladimir Kush. These
images are fantastic.

First bird turns to a second & asks: So, what do you think?
Second bird says: Stupid humans.
