Ach ja, ich fühle mich schön viel besser. So, yeah, I feel guilty when I write a generally pissed-off post in the interest of venting to a captive audience. At first it works at a cathartic level, but then I worry about people worrying about me or whatever. So the next day I say that [...]

A whole buncha Kung Fu trailers, right here [wmv format].

To elaborate on the last post, I am currently the definition of wound-up to the friggin’ brink. Way too much of this and way too little of that. Serious changes will be made like reducing my screen time and cutting back on chemistry experiments and nocturnal-ish sleep patterns. Re-acquainting with forgotten elements. Anhilating destructive elements. [...]

Hellz yeah. Ten years in the making, Willie Nelson releases a reggea (!) album recorded in Jamaica and elsewhere. And it works. I’ll post a sample later. Automatically my favourite record this year. No contest.
Pitchfork interviews Dizzee Rascal, like they’re so cool or something.
Peter Jackson sues New Line Cinema.

Zion-I izinda Luckauer hizzy. I’m serial.

Just chatting with Holle about the eighties in Berlin. She says those were the real revolutionary days, with riots and the Polizei fighting squats and squatters like every day. Then, I confessed how irrationally I hate cops for no specific reason, possibly because I suspect the motivation to support the status and the quo [...]

Welp, it’s taken about three weeks before finally sinking in: Star Wars III is crap. Try it. Temporarily change the name to something else like, say, Astro Battle III or Cosmic Conflict III. This will remove the film from its cherished legacy of your (my American) childhood with its ewoks and light sabers and [...]

that’s what I’ve gotta say for now…
pictures and various delights to be posted L8R, mofos…

I’m hoping this link comes back to life (Olov & Sara in Mexico via Cambodia?):

Yeah (!) its Friday and Friday afternoon at that, punks! Shortly before Friday evening and post-evening/pre-morning. What time is the witching hour? Is that midnight?
Suggested weekend inventory: spray paint, baseball bat, tear gas, Swiss army knife, airplane glue, empty bottle, dirty rag, gasoline, lighter, condom, sleeping bag, crackpipe, paperclip, duct tape, override device, bling, dro, [...]

That’s funny how hip hop has infiltrated into the official public statements of multinational conglomerates:
“We are pleased for Grindrod and for South Africa that we are achieving these awards and are confident that we will lift our game to achieve even better things for shareholders going into the future,” Clark concluded. [link]

I had some spare time last night, so I started working on my universal system of the universe. Everyone fits in somewhere. Let me know if I forgot anything. It’s a work in progress and I’m about 1% finished.

Everyone wants to know why bulker freight rates are down so sharply. And I would be glad to tell you, really I would. But perhaps it’s better to refer to Bob Dylan’s Homesick Subterranean Blues:
Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I’m on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says [...]

I will write something later, but I thought it was interesting that the dollar is gaining on the euro again. Plus, aren’t graphs sexy? No, wait a minute, I have completely lost my mind. I still like graphs, though, damn-it. Also, what if someone forces you (at gunpoint) to redo your ACT Science Reasoning test? [...]

DJ Werd: LLL, Werd’s House
Ah, man it is blazing outside today in B-town. I was at a free club opening this weekend in Mitte where Werd was spinning. When I stepped out to grab a falafel, Polizei were standing at the door and talking about the noise level. Back ten minutes later, the club is [...]

Here’s a slick rock and also roll tune from a UK band called Kasabian. Plus, I’m testing this host. Lemme know if it works, please.
Ah, yeah, everything’s fine with me. Thank’s for asking. You? That. Is. Great. Welp, later on.

If someone sent me a package about three weeks ago, it got bounced back. Sorry. The card was marked ‘books/goods’. The address was correct, I just didn’t pick it up at the post office in time. My bad. For future reference: Ben Perry, Luckauer Str. 4, 10969 Berlin, Germany. I’ll pick it up if you [...]

This new EU Constitution is a real beach towel thriller [excerpt]:
Article III-153 shall not preclude prohibitions or restrictions on imports, exports or goods in transit justified on grounds of public morality, public policy or public security; the protection of health and life of humans, animals or plants; the protection of national treasures possessing artistic, historic [...]

Pirate Bay just got awesomer. Sweden über alles.
Happy Birthday to Toru Takahashi (!), tanjoubi omedetou.

This Economist piece from last year about complexity vs. simplicity is so spot on. This is why the internet is so good/bad, too many options. Must stay focused. And do we really need to choose between Tropicana® Pure Premium® Immunity Defense [...]

The Untitled Project (to complement my bro jmassa’s Floating Logos).

I don’t know, when I sit looking at a blank entry waiting to be written/hacked vis a vis hack as in ‘a hack writer’–I just wanna plaster it. You know, just plaster with something, usually the color red. Red is a good color. Apart from a ragged concert poster here and there, I still have [...]
