A cool new site I “discovered”…. or learnt about via the skepticality podcast
The site is whatstheharm.net and it basically chronicles the stories of people who were hurt by believing bullshit.
As of now it says:
3,247 people killed, 224,674 injured and over $277,416,000 in economic damages
Go check it out….
So…. I used to be a big P.O.D. fan back in my brainwashed era.
Listening to them again (since I get to see them live next week) I find that I like a lot of the same songs now that used to like. Mostly the ones with attitude….
Even if I no longer agree with the message that they are preaching, I prefer the ones with a message to the average and generic positive vibe stuff…. i.e. I don’t like alot of what was released as singles and made me pay less attention near the end of my brainwashed era.
As for what I do like….
Stuff like “The Messenjah” (from their Satellite ablum) which is totally explicitly evangelical, plus it has a fat groove.
Along similar lines…. “Without Jah, Nothin” from the same album
Then there is a song like “Hollywood” (from Fundamental Elements of Southtown), which is not evangelical, but a good anti-selling out song
Or “Find My Way” from Payable On Death
The new song “Addicted” from their new album When Angels & Serpents Dance seems to show a return to what I liked about them….
As does “Lights Out” from Testify…. but the other single from that album was their boring generical stuff.
And finally…. my favourite P.O.D. song…. Whatever It Takes….
Is a site that has a whole bunch of concert recordings that you can listen to for free in great sounding streaming audio.
This morning I listened to this concert by Mr Joe Satriani. Sounded as good as his most recent live album.
Go have a listen, they have a whole load of old classic rock stuff….
Picture from the wiki
To MicheBelz Hollywood a podcast that I had never heard of until yesterday.
Why? Cos she played one of my songs, on episode 51, which was all about punk rock.
The song? Generic Punk Song…. obviously….
In other news, I did a cover of Dirrty…. now pick your jaws off the floor and head over to chaotimusic.com and give it a listen…. as you’d expect my take is a little different to that of Christina Aguilera…. Less pop, more sludgy sleazy metal groove….
Should not be long.
They shouldn’t be going past my knee.
They especially shouldn’t be reaching the tops of my boots.
Its a fucking conspiracy….
A conspiracy that might drive me to going full white trash hillbilly, and slicing a pair of jeans at the proper length.
New Mindless Self Indulgence video….
and some Dream Theater to balance it out….
