Hello again music lovers/enthusiasts. I'm here to let you know what exciting things are happening soon in Nashville and Atlanta. I'm sorry I can't get stuff for DC or New York but that would just take way too long, but wait! For those of you going to New York soon I highly recommend the website Brooklyn Vegan. It has all kinds of stuff for the New York area and is a great source for some free shows and free MP3s, but then again, I bet you already knew that didn't you Winnie? You little bitch....

In Chris's Honor

Teenager paints 60ft phallus on roof of family home.

Rory McInnes, 18, climbed on to the flat roof of his parents' home and daubed the symbol using a tin of white paint, after watching a programme about Google Earth.

Web surfers can view detailed images from satellites using the Google software, enabling them to zoom in on their homes to see them from above.

But parents Andy and Clare did not discover their son's rude artwork until a helicopter spotted it on top of their home near Hungerford, Berks. The pilot called The Sun newspaper, which then contacted Mr McInnes to tell him.
Mr McInnes, 54, a company director, thought the newspaper was having a joke.
He said: "It's an April Fool's joke, right? There's no way there's a 60ft phallus on top of my house."

However, when he asked each of his four children if there was indeed the image of a phallus on their newly-completed roof, Rory owned up.
When Mr McInnes phoned his son, who is currently in Brazil on a gap year, the teenager said: "Oh, you've found it then!"

The boy's father appeared to take the prank in good humour. But he said: "When Rory gets home he will be given a scrubbing brush and white spirit and he can go and scrub it off."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY C-PAAAAAAAZZ!!!!!!!!!!

I made you an EP. Well from your songs. whatever.

Watchmen Game Leak! Also Kill Bill (1 & 2) In One Minute

As much as I liked The Watchmen, I couldn't resist posting this video for the world (well our small faux commune world) to see. Also, I've read a lot of good reviews and bad reviews about The Watchmen, some I agreed with and some are just plain silly. I still recommend seeing that movie, just so you can pick a side and we can argue about it. Also, if this game does really exist, I'm getting it.



Oh, yeah...

Here's something else for your little minds. Ever wanted to watch both Kill Bills but just didn't have the time? Well thanks to University of York Filmmaking Society, now you can watch them and still get all your well needed stoner chores accomplished.

Kudos!

So, I just read this article:

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YTQ3NzIwMTVmMDVmMDRiZWIzMDFhYzAwNTY0NGU2Yzk=

In a nutshell, here's why this guy is wrong.

The blindspot in this article's logic is extremely telling. Because I know you won't read it, Miller essentially begins his argument by noting that regulations have costs, and that those costs outweigh their benefits. And this analysis is presented by comparing the monteary value of different regulations. His logic is something like "regulation x has a cost of $y and a benefit of $z. y>z therefore, regulation x is a bad regulation." The obvious blindspot here is that regulations exist because the real costs of certain policies are not quantifiable in market terms. So who knows if the cost of lead poisioning on our public health care apparatus is greater than the loss of revenue from lead based products, or the costs of restructuring buisness away from lead based products. But no matter which side of the equation the numbers fall on, not selling lead contaminated products is still a good idea because even if the market punishes those who market these products, there is a tangible- if not perfectly quantifiable-human cost.

The terrifying subtext of this article is that regulations which are put in place to limit "phantom risk" have real costs. But the single overriding cause of the global meltdown was EXCESSIVE RISK. Simply put, if the market is growing at 7%/annually, a 6% net positive return is still underpreforming. Incentives are structured to favor those who outpreform the mean, and the only way to have that capacity is to take risks. The collective action problem is results is that the market therefore drives people to collectively take greater risks than any individual would given otherwise identical market conditions. The question is one of balancing the interests of risk and growth. Miller IS BLIND to the alternative side of the equation.

But even ignoring all that, the ultimate perversity is found in the fact that the ultimate goal of his worldview is profit, not human welfare. The slippage between the two is easy to see, but not if you only read the National Review.

KRS-One Interview

For those of you who don't know Lawrence Krishna Parker aka KRS-One, he is an old school rapper that some would refer to as a true MC and a pioneer for the hip hop culture. He grew up in New York but more specifically the Millbrook housing projects in the South Bronx. At the age of 13 he ran away from home and lived in homeless shelters. During this time he began to read books on religion and philosophy by day and would practice rapping at night. Despite his tough situation, he still managed to get his GED at age 17.

At one of the homeless shelters he stayed at he met Scott Sterling AKA DJ Scott La Rock and created Boogie Down Productions which launched his hip-hop career. Scott Sterling was killed in an attempt to break up a fight shortly after the company's debut LP release "Criminal Minded".

KRS-One still kept Boogie Down Productions after Scott's death, but the violence in the hip-hop community continued. In response to the murder of a fan during a Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions concert, KRS formed the Stop the Violence Movement which in 2008 re-released the song titled "Self-Construction" which included some famous artists like David Banner, The Game, Nelly, Ne-Yo, Talib Kweli, Method Man, Styles P, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Cassidy, MC Lyte and 50 Cent.

He is currently working on a book called "The Power Of Future" and you could hear some of his songs on his Myspace page.
