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.

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.

“What to my wondering eyes should appear?”

Just a little perk for your Sunday morning.

A new video. Music by Massive Attack; directed by Edouard Salier. And absolutely wonderful.

No critique needed, just grab the headphones, and pump up your screen resolution.

Doesn’t that feel better?

I know that I should be doing my homework…but I have been in a metal mood recently and can’t seem to get this music out of my head.  So, to my much needed break from homework, I bring you this South-African post grunge/alternative metal band, Seether.  This song is from their album, Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.

effing enjoy, you dumacooches!

School is in session. The kids have returned and now I do not have a parking space near my apartment.  My schedule has changed and I’m finally down to working one job!  I’ve gladly gotten back into my workout routine and now I find myself working on homework at night due to my wild idea of attending school. 

Spring is right around the corner, although it doesn’t seem like it should be. Where was summer, fall, and for that matter, winter? It was maybe cold for about two weeks and mostly mild for the rest. I am aware that winter isn’t over and we could get a cold-snap bringing us down into the single digits. But I digress…

The mood today is heavy.  I have a lot going on and sometimes metal is the best place for my mind to go when it’s crowded up there.  Buzzing in my ear, on the pod today…this little rocking song. It’s by a band that well, I think got put into the wrong catagory of rock music, but ah well.

So I had to find the song mashed up to a decent anime…Breaking Benjamin and FF for the win! Enjoy!

I just discovered this amazing video by Nicholaus Goossen.  Playing off of the assumption that fast food mascots must be consuming a lifestyle that is as tasteless, full of filler, and non-nourishing, which is equally represented in products that they peddle.   If Ronald McDonald really just wants to hang around the playground all day pied piping children to score some happy meals, do you really think he understands his 401k package?  No he’s going to blow all that hard money on drugs and loose women.  The same goes for the King and all the others.  Our consumer culture has successfully blown up to such mythical proportions that the myths are now capable of being allegorically deconstructed.  While shows like Jersey Shore have opened the dialogue for what is excessive and falsely glamorous.  Goossen has carried that discussion over to the alltaglichkeit that is representational of over marketed fast food franchises that have grown to litter downtown everywhere.  No wonder they think they own the town.

Check out his other videos on vimeo, also very funny.

Thanks, Coilhouse

I just discovered this and am truly blown away.  For anyone who has ever said that CGI is totally fake looking and predictably fake this little film completely redefines what computer generated images are capable of.  I’m talking about realism beyond the Hollywood or the usual “video games are so lifelike these days”, but you know they are still video games.  Alex Roman illustrates “architecture art across a photographic point of view”.  What impresses me is his attention to detail and especially his exploration of light and  how reflective surfaces define space.  Watch this in full screen mode.

As soon as it started in full screen mode, I couldn’t believe this was computer generated and not real.  I kept think maybe this part is real and the CGI gets slipped in later to confuse us, but no Roman advances the field of art with CGI.  After watching this composite breakdown excerpt I started to believe that this was in fact made with a 3d emulator.

Thanks, Popwhore
