A Nightmare From The Recent Past
New 2MERICA video to scare and confound you. This track was one of our first and it's cool to see a video finally released for it:
Enjoy, but remember what that Green Screen is doing to you.
How many of You are there?
(by Fuckface Bookman, Associated Pruss) NORTHSIDE, RUSTOPIA - Can your numerous profiles, sensors, logins, switches, accounts, and buttons combine into a single entity? How long would you last if everything you did in a day went into this single profile, nothing more than a record in the relational database that is 21st century life?
Not long says Ezrazmus Jones, which is why he fears such constant connectivity. The connectivity can only rationally remain constant if we are allowed multiple personalities.
"I have many" says Ezrazmus 'Elemento' Jones (not his real name), "and it's a good thing. I can lurk, I can pull rank, I can drop my credentials, and I can hide them just as easily. Just like offline, you have no idea who you are dealing with unless you know me face to face in a real way. Asinine Intelligence will lead us astray."
Hmm, pseudo-interesting point. So add to the discussion here on World Have Yer Say by commenting on if/how you manage to live online as a single entity or if you go the iSchizo route to protect the innocents.
Note that this blog is eaten alive by google, yahoo and bing spiders so you are being recorded (technorati won't even take a nibble though!).
Spring has sprung!
So its been a long while i know
But much has been happening around me
Since i last opened my space
And your face to my reality
A new studio has sprung
Bigger harder stronger than the last one
The Flux-adel Recording Division
Is open for business. As they say,
Recording is progress
2merica is as vital as ever
Better late than never
El motto de skorpions!
Pedal hard my darlings
Cuz the devil is on our tail
Too many corporate bands biting
Our sound style idea hope
I ain't mad at this compliment
It's my fave way to cope
These days.
Although i admit no shortage of hope
In town and around the globe
I am watching the former foreign fear peddlers
Spin themselves into an American
Dream turned nightmare for their corporate sponsored
Worker fearing apocalyptic vision of our very beautiful
Present. Tense sense of relief.
And oh yeah we started a bad ass new band.
The Bushes have quietly waved
Goodbye and returned to Texas
and we survived.
God Bless us all, hallelujah!
Only stronger and perhaps
Smarter... yeah right
But at least our new prez
Don't get stage fright
And talks to us like we've actually
Been walking on this earth more than a decade
10 Years Later…
There's something beyond being the base. Perhaps it's the simple math done by moving the decimal. Maybe it's a obvious as the 10 digits hanging at the end of our arms when we are born. Does someone missing a finger work better in nines? Hard to say.
Point being the term "decade" and it's intrigue. When freed from it's VH1 confines of loving the 1st integer and ignoring the rest, a decade can prove to be even more interesting. Did music change more from 1980 to 1990 or 1984-1994? Well, that's difficult..... music talk is for arguing. What about your life? Surely no one's life is tied to 0-9 but it can change dramatically in 10 years.
Perhaps we just like grouping things in ways we can handle. We might live 80 years but 80 is too far out there. Tell me 80 phone numbers from memory. 80 books you've read. 80 stories about your cute and hyper-intelligent kid(s). Even our favorite topics don't usually go 80 deep. Nor would you carry general reviews of each of your 80 years with you. See 1983 was different from 1985 in many ways..... yawn..... ok grandpa.
A decade though? Well even the best of us won't see more than 9 of those. More like 5-6 full of memories for most of us, probably only 1-3 so far amongst my readers. So yeah, grouping things in 10 doesn't bother me in the least, I just ask that you consider sliding your start and end points and seeing what you find. I just found this, written about 10 years ago. Prescient, eh?
["Synthesizer Man", words by Andre Benjamin]

but if you synthesize
I will understand

Your Daily Forecast
Sometimes it's hard to believe how stupid some people are. I try to stay humble and self-deprecating. I know i'm flawed.
This internet, these blogs, this youtube, these bookmarks are supposed to make us more informed.
More educational materials are available for free now than ever before. But regardless - myths, hype, spin, and falsehoods abound. Ignorance is bliss in this nation of self-servitude and convenience.
Today's item:
Global warming is not affiliated with your daily weather forecast. That is to say, if it's hot out that's not proof that we are all going to burn up. If it's cold out that does not mean that all scientists are morons.
If you study the science, research the evidence, and deduce some reasoned facts you would probably agree with most of the scientists who say man-made global warming is a real and serious problem, if not one that is on a much larger scale than the daily temperature in your neck of the woods.
Scientists and climatologists admit the weather is a amazingly complex issue,
affected locally by all sorts of independent variables. But when crunching the numbers on a macro scale, such localizations disappear and patterns emerge. There is quite the difference between your local forecast and global weather statistical analysis.
If you come with only a political viewpoint, or generally find science and facts to be opposite of your preferred points of reference, then yeah, cold days prove scientists are wrong and global warming doesn't exist. All all the storms and warm days just prove that the end days are near, because we only are getting warmer as a planet overall because god must want it that way.
So, to review:
--airplanes can't fly because metal is heavier than air.
--boats are also much heavier than water so they sink.
--global warming is a crock because it's 5 degrees outside today.
Any other questions? I love America.
Whenever You Feel Blue, Take A Breath Again
Midterms have come and gone
Thank god someone else is paying attention out there
Where the hell were you in 2004?
Now let the games begin...
The liberals will be blamed for losing a war
The war that they were opposed to
The war that they warned against
The war they said was unwinnable
and they will lose it by saying so.
Morons will talk of the lives wasted in vain,
not of the thousands saved.
Vanity caused their deaths
so i say save the undead!
Turn on the lights!
Turn on the pipes!
Open 10 home depots
and get the fug out of there. Simple.
Not much new to report from 2merica corp@ration...
got some parts to make our pink timebomb, want to do a promo kit along with digital release. But the elscorpions were too busy riding the spaceship
to get any work done.
ah!! too much movement!
