I know that it’s Monday, July 5th and not Saturday (the title of the post for those of you not paying attention), but most people have today off as an official holiday from work so that makes today the “big chill out day”.  I am one of those lucky people.  For those of us recovering from the night’s previous adult activities it’s nice to be able to do nothing and hang out in loose clothing and eat hamburger magic to cure the hang over and listen to jams that soothe.

For mornings such as this, we need to retreat and let our minds experience Morcheeba.  I ease into a nice rhythm of sipping chilled coffee and Internet surfing as this penetrates through to my very happy bone and reminds me to take it slow.

If Morcheeba is not your cup of tee then I know what might do it for you,  Zoe Keating’s new album Into the Trees.  I love her music and the way she can make a cello sound alive and divided.  Each song gives me chills and makes my mind daydream.  She’s amazingly talented.  (picture courtesy of by Kirstie Shanley)

Enjoy and just Chill out.

Oh, my world is complete Mother Fuckers!

This music video by Muse reminds me of a Bruce Campbell meets Fire Fly meets Bruce Lee meets Tom Petty meets Muse.  Seriously, why did I not know of this before?!$#*

This is amazing…I don’t think I’ve seen something that has appealed to all my geekery juices before.  All I can do is smile and let the geek flow!

I’ve been holding onto this one for a while in the hopes that I’d be able to find more information on it trawling the interwebz. Strangely though, said ‘webz have proved to be uncharacteristically silent on the matter, all the mentions I encountered seemed to ape the same short plot summary, and nothing more. Which in and of itself is intriguing enough. I’d first heard it mentioned in a forum thread on experimental anime, which seems a bit off considering the titles that usually make it into such a conversation. Nevertheless though, it does have a somewhat peculiar style of animation (though certainly not without precedent), and the story itself is interesting. Normal bloke suddenly finds himself being haunted by phantom Toyko subway train.

Hmmm.

Have a look for yourself, here’s Take the X Train.

TEH INTERW0RBZ – One of the few things that keeps me walking in the door at work during the day is the promise of a new day of online comics.  That and my secret Wild Turkey depository.

The following is the complete list of comics I read every goddamn day… or… whenever they happened to be updated which, for some, is grievously occasional.

For each series featured, I am simply pulling whatever comic is up today, warts and all, on this – Thursday, March 11, in the year 2010 of our Lord, Rahm Emanuel.

OK, let’s get it on here.

I know I’ve been conspicuously absent these past weeks.  I could describe an elaborate sob story about how busy I’ve been, but the truth is these guys have me locked up in their basement.  Enjoy.

Tonight’s tip comes by way of the illustrious Nekogirl, and frankly I can’t believe I’d overlooked it this long. A classic anime from the mid eighties, Fist of the Northstar is about as dystopian as they come. We’re talkin’ the Mad Max of anime here. Seriously, Give it just the first five minutes of episode 1 and you’ll see what I mean.

Actually, on second though, that may literally be the opening to Mad Max. Except in Japanese. And about 7 years later. And with the addition of more head-explody.

Really though, who wouldn’t want more of that?

Naturally though the plot thereafter strays a bit, but the balance of drama and sheer violence is astonishing.

The following is an excerpt from transcript of KahrlZero’s NeoCon AM Radio Talk Show, “Zero Hour,” episode 46:  ”Fiduciary Controls and how they are a cover for the Leftist takeover of Real America.”

Segment guest: Cash Money

…

Kahrl Zero: …and that’s how fiduciary controls are a cover for the Leftist takeover of Real America.

Cash Money: Wow, I hadn’t really thought about it that way before.  Personally, I have recently found myself obsessed with Avril Lavigne.  Not her music or even her so much as her career.

KZ: How so? Because I know fuck-all.

CM: Well, you know her brand of music. Vacuous, if upbeat. Marketed as “The AntiBrittany,” though she really is the same thing with a different coat of paint and a different time signature.

KZ: (ugh) And more eyeliner.

CM: Right. Which is fine. Or was. She has, at time of recording, three albumns on the market with a fourth set to drop this summer.  However, she is now 25. And has an impending albumn. The question is, when does society demand something more from her.
