If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Coming from Boing Boing:
The Get Out Clause, an unsigned Manchester band who could not afford a camera crew for their video, ‘performed’ in front of a load of CCTV cameras, requested the footage from the camera operators under the Data Protection Act and then stitched the results together [...]
Finally, I explain the seemingly nebulous Nietzschian reference. Whoo! Actually, as it turns out, I had already explained it long ago. From a religious studies paper I wrote in 2005 for Robert Williams (my fav professor at UIC):
…life’s ultimate spheres of expression…the two fundamental drives that govern the world. These drives or spheres–inherently opposed to [...]
Fine! I’ll go halfway…
Nietzsche on song and dance via The Birth of Tragedy:
In song and in dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community; he has forgotten how to walk and speak; he is about to take a dancing flight into the air…He feels himself a god, he himself now walks about [...]
Fifteen years ago yesterday–on April 19th, 1993–a 51-day standoff between the feds and the Branch Davidians ended in an appalling, totally-avoidable tragedy. The Waco Massacre, the fault of a stupid, brute-ridden federal government unable to respect both the 1st and 2nd Amendments, resulted in an incineration of 76 civilians, including 21 children. [...]
This week’s pick reminds me of two things: high school and this reason article. Oi! Oi!

“Chairman, that is pronkrageous!”. Haha…easily my favorite line.
Whew. I’ve been way busy folks. So you can guess what that means for my weekend “Nietzsche loves a dance party” post: half ass quality. Oh yeah!
So, alas, I’m evading elucidation of my Nietzschian reference for another week. And my blog will suffer the consequence of–horrors of horrors–even less traffic.
In any case, while it’s certainly [...]
Hey! So what’s everyone think of the new header and layout? Eh, eh?
I know. It’s awesome. I feel like my personality needs to really step it up a bit…..you know, in order to reflect the punchy, animated layout.
Uh-oh, watch out! Nicky Cheese about to get CRAZY up in here!
Anyways, don’t credit me. It’s the work [...]
Yesterday Bob Barr announced his presidential candidacy exploratory committee.
How anti-climatic. I really hope this doesn’t blue-ball his campaign.
The dance party. Get a bunch of 20-somethings together with lots of booze on a Friday or Saturday night and–almost like clockwork–a dance party will break out. Doesn’t matter the location–club, house party or a sparsely-attended get-together–at some point between 11pm and 3am, a dance party will form. I’m pretty sure its instinctual.
And I couldn’t [...]
