So.. here we go with this week's list:
1. Keane - Hopes and Fears: Soaring vocals. Killer melodies. Goosebumps. Essential!
2. Scissor Sisters: High camp cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" gives way to some surprisingly solid songs in a variety of styles. I hear their live performances are the stuff of legend.
3. Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll: A funky, quirky chill-out CD. "Scotland's answer to Royksopp"
4. Snow Patrol - Final Straw: Moody rock. "Spitting Games" is my favorite track here.
5. Deepest Blue: Light melodic electronic pop. Totally mindless and pleasant.
I like your playlist thing.. it's about time i take that Blur Think Tank cd out of my car.
ReplyDeleteMore on butchering movies in kuwaiti theatres, please.. it's ridiculous. Bloody violent scenes are ok, and an "innocent" kiss is cut?
how does the censor's head work exactly?
My sister ordered DVD's from Amazon.. "Kamasutra" passed and "Sex and the city" was confiscated! Go figure
Oh and i wasn't disappointed Holland lost.. I wouldn't call myself a sports person anyways.. My favorite sport is pillow fight :D
Are we going to read anything on Saddam's trial anytime soon?
(ShoSho, thanks for the thought.. it cheered me up alright lol)
And thanks for clarifying what a leftist is..
good night,

Re: Saddam's Trial.. No I don't want to comment on that because there are many great blogs coming out of Baghdad that can do a much better job. Plus I want it over with already!
ReplyDeleteRegarding your cds and dvds not being taken, I read on "The Religious Policeman" blog (in Saudi) that when he ordered things for his house (eg. magazine, book, video) they were censored or taken away. But when he put the sending address as his workplace, everything was left intact. Perhaps you should send it to your work or to a friend's work. You might get that "Sex and the City". ;)
ReplyDeleteRegarding my earlier offer to give some Hebrew, I put the alefbet on my blog. Click on my name and ??? ???? ???? beshem YHWH adonai, you will see my profile.
ReplyDeletePS The blessing is what I made up on the spot. It no way means I am Jewish, since I know that some don't like Jews.
Thanks, pink. I didn't know any of that. If blame is needed, then it goes rightly to the acadhimmis who fill our heads with garbage. For awhile there I believed that Americans were aliens and had a genetic disorder?!?! The major tenets of the PC faith, are:
ReplyDelete1) All Mid-Easterners hate the "West";
2) Americans are full of s*&t;
3) Islam is God.
I've fought for the past 3 years to get myself out, now I have to help others. I'm glad you bloggers (and non bloggers) don't have to go through with the same things (almost not).
Anyways, I checked my last post ^^ and noticed that the Hebrew characters are ??'s. Didn't know that was coming.
Someone brought a toddler into 'Troy', the baby cried his nappies off for no less than 30mins of the movie. Everytime the baby cried, the lady picked him up and lay against the sound proof walls, not only could we hear the poor thing, but now we could see him too.
ReplyDeleteI saw toddlers at "Gladiator" when it showed in Kuwait. I couldn't believe parents were so stupid as to show their kids scenes of limbs and heads being hacked off 5 minutes into the movie! But then maybe they were preparing them for scenes of Al-Qaeda beheading Americans!
ReplyDeleteWatching films at the theatre or cinema is not as it used be. It does not matter where you do that, its all the same, people, noise, dark, and of course kids.
ReplyDeleteBesides, there is nothing original in movies now, its mostly junk. Why do people still go? Is it some sort of "flock" activity? or is it an "experience"? I am leaning more towards "flock". If that is true, then why do it? Why be a Baa Baaa Baaa sheep? why not be the wolf?
Speaking of flocks, or hmm what do they call a bunch of fish following each other, I think school of fish, anyways, lets say its school, you always see them following each other, left, right, down, up, but how does that work? I mean there must be a reason? You think they are smart? nope, the answer is much simpler.
Science has shown (do not ask me where and who I saw it on TV, so it must be true, like everything else on TV) that these small fish have a certain cell that detects movement of the others, so if the one in front of fish A moves right, fish A moves right, moves left, it moves left, and so on. You must be wondering now what is all this about and how is it related to the above? next paragraph
Ok, now all the fish are moving, but there is always one at the front leading, correct? This fish must be a smart fish or something special because it can find its way around, not really. What they found was that this fish usually has a defective direction cell, so it wanders around, so it is not leading, its goes anywhere it wants.
Soooo, do you want to be the wacky fish or do you want to be the normal fish? the choice is up to you. Just do not choke on popcorn.
"Follow the leader, leader, leader, follow the leader.."
I think you're referring to "emergent behaviour"
ReplyDeleteThere are online simulators of flock behaviour, you can even set up different parameters such as attraction to middle, collision distance and Free-will factor.
Sounds scientific, so must be correct.
ReplyDeleteSo you can say we should fit humans with these simulators and control their movements, sounds good to me, then again by controlling them, it is the same as not having a choice, hence, there is a puppet and there is a master.

Not at all, seperate them and watch their attraction to the center diminish with time. Control their drift until they resetablish a less chaotic pattern of attraction that can be regulated by diet pills and global warming.
While searching for discount as seen on tv I just have not had the best search results. Maybe I need to create my own blog and let others post so I can get better info on discount as seen on tv.
