  1. "thats where you lose me"....yeah, pretty much. they are making some really great points but god....this fucking "9/11 was an inside job" stuff really has to stop. its so amazingly stupid and unproductive, especially when you take into account the real problems that are at our doorstep. if youre really concerned about the world we live in how about focus on the evident problems, not something that requires wild, highly improbable, theory.

     

     

    uh oh...i can hear casek coming after me already.

  2. im jumping in the middle of this, i know, but as an ex-peta member, ex-vegetarian, and food lover who is familiar with all of the arguments being discussed i can tell you, the majority of pro-vegetarian information is far from reliable. the backbone of these arguments is, at best, theory, and at its worst, skewed, manipulated and completely false. i think the movement would gain more traction if it were a bit more honest. a vegetarian diet is awesome. my little brother is vegan. i love cooking up some setan or grilling some tofu. at the same time though, ive gone back to eating meat because i came to the conclusion (as anyone who pays attention would) that its not meat thats bad for you. its the quality of meat and the frequency of which you eat it. an argument like yours, bigdork, that the diseases we are seeing are due to an omnivorous diet completely ignores a variety of other factors. the united states is seeing disease because the united states eats shit everyday. you have low end grocery stores selling hormone filled meat from unhealthy grain fed animals, you have processed cheese, egg in milk cartons....just total crap. i think the reason the vegetarian diet succeeds in modern society has less to do with "humans are meant to be herbivores" or some such argument and more to do with the fact that you are eating a simpler, more pure diet. you cant inject lettuce with growth hormones. you cant slip preservatives into a fresh tomato. the big picture here is that its not meat vs veggies, its about the quality of our diets and the lack of attention most people to pay to what they are putting into their bodies. ill never say that a vegetarian diet is a bad thing but im also not going to be convinced that a balanced diet that includes free range, organic meat such as grass fed beef or venison, pure, and unprocessed dairy from healthy animals is detrimental to my health. essentially, what im trying to say is that you can make an argument for a vegetarian diet, you can make an argument for not killing animals, and you can make an argument against our fast food culture but you cant make this whole thing as black and white as some make it out to be. there are a lot of factors at work and if vegetarian groups were really concerned about peoples health it would behoove them to shift from their all or nothing message and really tell people the truth about what they are eating and where these problems are coming from.

     

    and dawood, im still interested in hearing about what you made.

  3. i didnt used to. ive drank plenty of it in the past. just in the last month or two ive noticed it's really started to fuck me up hardcore.

    im not sure if its red, or all wine, since ive only really drank red lately, but man...its unatural what it's doing to me.

     

    i dont know if you have a whole foods in your area or not but they have a section of "sulfite free" wines. you may want to check it out.

  4. alright, this is the "what the fuck?" post where i pull out all sorts of random shit from different genres im into.

    toasted marshmellow feet breaxs. fucking great battle record with great art done by done1 tdk.

     

    Picture280.jpg

     

    dj rectangle records. another staple. i had a blue one as well but apparently i left it somewhere because i couldnt find it. does anyone how many different colors the put out?

     

    Picture284.jpg

     

    two of my favorites. i used the shit out of the one on the right. love it.

     

    Picture286.jpg

     

    5 record set put out during the release of soundbombing two. pretty cool little deal. i have non idea why this picture looks like i took it with a shitty webcam. anyway.

    teh ooontz. this thing has some serious anthems though. the jungles mcs would probably refer to them as "heavy riddims". those guys have always annoyed the shit out of me.

     

    Picture282.jpg

     

    moving from the oontz to some punk rock. nothing special about this aside from THE COOLEST FUCKING RECORD COVER EVER. seriously, such a good photograph.

    turbonegro/rippers split. they only made 500 of these which is a small pressing for a band of turbonegros size. i just kind of stumbled on this one day...not sure many people even know this exists.

     

    Picture287.jpg

     

    ten grand - this is the way to rule on 180 gram vinyl. i have no idea how many of these were pressed and dont really care because ill never sell this record. it is post-hardcore perfection. i broke this out at my buddys 32 birthday show that i djed and he almost shit his pants. definitely one of those bands that people forget about and re-discover...its kind of a shame because they are so much more important than that.

    speaking of music that falls into the utterly stupid "post-________" catagory. this is one of my babies even though its only about a year old. "all of a sudden i miss everyone" by explosions in the sky. it was written in response to hurricane katrina and is a pretty powerful piece of music. if anyone has pressing info please hit me up. i know there werent many of these because i got this from a show in NY and a month later when i saw them again they were gone. the other side of the blue record has an etching similar to the front cover. solid.

     

    Picture293.jpg

     

    pelicans "australasia", first pressing on black. same deal here, if anyone has pressing info let me know. for some reason im thinking the first pressing on black was one of the smaller numbered runs but i could be totally off base.

     

    Picture294.jpg

     

    inside cover. when i used to paint id always rock out the bubble clouds on the outside of the piece. thats probably why i think this is so damn cool.

    this post is brought to you by the "sea of red" reissue on clear red..any my crispy reebok classics. if you have original sea of red (which i used to, then it fucking walked off) you should still look into this. it has 4 unreleased tracks from the heavier days that are goood.

  5. i enjoy cigars. i just cant enjoy them right now because its too fucking cold to lounge outside with a drink and cigar for 30 minutes.

     

    when i buy a house down the road i am def going to have a smoking room/office.

  6. nice stuff guys. thanks for giving this some life.

     

    seldoon - looking at your hip hop records is like looking at my own collection. i plan on puttering around the house today so maybe ill dig around and pull out a few battle record to post up as well. also, that iron maiden record is fucking great. if you ever want to get rid of that you know where the pm button is.

     

    bast - that kylesa album is a nice one. im way down with the southeast metal scene right now.

     

    also...im going to put up a couple of records i have multiple copies of and am looking to trade here shortly...shortly meaning sometime between now and march.

  7. i recently saw "lake of fire", a documentary about abortion shot over 15 years by david kaye (american history x). it was a pretty phenomenal movie if you can open your mind and really look at what people are saying. i cant say i was able to do that the entire time and i left the movie feel pretty sad and agitated. still, its probably something ill end up buying just due to the overall importance of the film. definitely worth checking out.

    Investigative reporter David Cay Johnston explores in his new book how in recent years, government subsidies and new regulations have quietly funneled money from the poor and the middle class to the rich and politically connected.

    Cay Johnston covers tax policy for The New York Times, where he won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on that beat. His previous book, Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich — and Cheat Everybody Else, was a best seller.

    The new book, which expands the inquiry beyond tax policy into a whole range of regulatory machinery, is titled Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You With the Bill).
