…I dunno guys, I think I like my website alot more after it’s been Jesusified. It’s just so much better that way… Don’t ask questions.
If anyone can contribute some server space for me to put the System Of A Down non-album tracks on, that would be great. I’ll take anything I can get, I just want them to be available to my visitors… I get alot of e-mails regarding those MP3s, so if anyone can help me out, let me know.
I’m always interested in ‘high-tech gadgets’, or whatever the hell you wanna call them, especially stuff like this… Too bad that thing is a piece of shit.
Wow! “…wine has 9 to 11% alcohol and one brand 20% alcohol, you should not drink that. Brandy contains 15 to 20% alcohol, so that’s out! Hard liquor has 40 to 50% alcohol (80 to 100 proof), and that is obviously excluded! Someone will say, ’since beer is only 4% alcohol, IT’S OK FOR A BELIEVER TO DRINK BEER, RIGHT?’ The answer is NO!” This entire page is a big bitchfest about why Christians shouldn’t consume any types of alcoholic beverages, it’s actually pretty amusing.
Stuff about subliminal messages has always been very interesting to me. I was reading through this page about the connection between violence and music, and I found some ridiculous shit. For example, “The British band The Mentors sings about the “Four F Club,” whose members “Find her, Feel her, Fuck her, and Forget her.” Is the band merely singing about the exploits of others (or presenting an existentialist view of the lack of romance in today’s society), or urging listeners to act accordingly? Might this song reasonably, or unreasonably, incite one to adopt this philosophy and to commit the violent act of rape?” What kind of shit is that? Anyone who is able to bring themselves to rape a women has mental problems, music doesn’t just ‘trigger’ things like that… At least not in my opinion. Anyway, The Mentors have another song which has some pretty funny lyrics. It’s called “Golden Showers” - “Listen, you little slut, do as you are told, come with daddy for me to pour the gold. Golden showers. All through my excrement you shall roam. Bend up and smell my anal vapor. Your face is my toilet paper. On your face I leave a shit tower. Golden showers.” I thought it was pretty funny, anyway.
The next thing I came across is something that I’ve read about in the past, but it’s still interesting. “During an instrumental break in “Suicide Solution,” Ozzy Osbourne sings the following 28-second interval of words that aren’t printed with the lyrics on the album jacket: “Ah know people, You really know where it’s at, You got it, Why try, why try, Get the gun and try it, Shoot, shoot, shoot.” These words are repeated for about 10 seconds. These [unprinted] lyrics are sung at one and one-half times the normal rate of speech and (in the words of plaintiffs’ allegations) “are not immediately intelligible. They are perceptible enough to be heard and understood when the listener concentrates on the music and lyrics being played during this 28-second interval.” In addition to the lyrics, plaintiffs also allege that Osbourne’s music utilizes a strong, pounding and driving rhythm and . . . a “hemisync” process of sound waves which impact the listener’s mental state.” That, to me, is a load of shit. I have Ozzy’s CD, “Blizzard Of Ozz”, and I’ve heard “Suicide Solution” about a million times. I never knew what the hell he was saying at that part until I read that, and it really doesn’t sound like he’s saying ’shoot’ at all.
Anyway, if you’re at all interested in this kinda stuff, there’s alot more interesting shit to read about… This page says that members of Led Zeppelin were into satanism and the occult, and that the song “Stairway to Heaven” contains satanic subliminal messages, such as “I live for Satan,” “The Lord turns me off,” “Here is to my sweet Satan,” “There’s power in Satan,” and “Take the 666.” That same page also tells of Eric Nehart, of Mechanicsburg, PA, who does research into subliminal techniques used in rock music. Nehart says that someone he knew, who was listening to the Beatles’ “No. 9 Revolution”, and hallucinating from drugs, was imagining that there were no windows or doors in the room, and that fire was coming at him. He began to scream, “Let me out, let me out.” A section of the song, when played in reverse, says: “Let me out.” Even more interesting information: On the Electric Light Orchestra’s album “Face the Music”, there’s a song called “Fire on High”, a segment of which, when played in reverse, says: “The music is reversible, but time isn’t, turn back, turn back, turn back…” In their album “Eldorado”, there are backward messages which say: “Christ you’re the nasty one, you’re infernal,” and “He’s there on the cross and dead.” Queen’s song, “Another One Bites the Dust,” when played in reverse, continually says: “It’s fun to smoke marijuana.” In Jefferson Starship’s “Blows Against the Empire”, the song says: “I’ve got a surprise for you, a child is coming, a child is coming. Everything’s gonna get better, it’s gonna be brighter.” When played in reverse, it continually says: “Son of Satan.” On the live album of Black Oak Arkansas, called “Raunch and Roll”, during the song, “The Day Electricity Came to Arkansas” the lead singer Jim Landy utters something unintelligible, then laughs. When it is played backwards, he says: “Satan, Satan, Satan; He is God, he is God, he is God.” Some researchers believe that not all of this is intentional, that some of it may be put there supernaturally. The Eagles, who publicly admitted to having ties with the Church of Satan (founded in San Francisco in 1966), illustrated that fact with their album “Hotel California”. The face of the church’s founder, Anton LaVey, can be seen in a window on the inside cover. A segment of the song “Hotel California” when played in reverse, says: “Yes Satan, he organized his own religion.” The Church is located on California Street, and the song refers to 1969, when the Satanic Bible was written by LaVey. Some of the stuff on the page is obviously bullshit, though… Like this: Black Sabbath’s album “Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath” depicted an upside-down cross and the number “666″ on the cover. Okay, yeah… Someone find me that album and show it to me, I’d be very intersted in seeing it. Okay, one more interesting thing, and then that’s it for this topic. “The “Rune” album of Led Zeppelin displays on the cover the famous black occultist Aleister Crowley. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, a self-confessed Satanist, bought Crowley’s old mansion. John Bonham, a drummer for the band, died in the house in 1980; Robert Plant allegedly split the group up after his death and blamed Page’s obsession with the occult for his death.” All in all, just remember, music rots your brains.
Hey, did you know they sell all kinds of satanic/wiccan/whatever-you-wanna-call-it books on Amazon? Personally I have mixed feelings about that stuff, its NAUGHTY but interesting. But I was reading the review of one book, called “Necronomicon“. The review says “Its amazing how many arm chair magicians have reviewed this book. This book is a grimiore of the blackest type. It is NOT a work of fiction. Internal evidence suggests that the book is authentic and complete. It is not taken from a much larger work, since the gates mentioned in the book are a reference to nine planetery zones of spiritual intellegences mentioned in Franz Bardons works. It is authentic because the mad arab in the book is no liar. These rituals are very powerful. One must be well versed in magick to understand what is in this book. I strongly suggest one read Modern Magick by Don Miachel Kraig and The Golden Dawn by Regardie to get a solid grounding in magick and to learn banishing rituals to dissolve these monsters that are called up. In no way should a beginner use these rituals. Even if he sees nothing by using the book, the forces are there invisibly. If they are not banished, they can lead to terrible suffering. This is no joke! The book is packed full of rituals and incantations for the calling forth of dark forces. The last section of the book is the blackest of all. Only an advanced magician should try these. There are accounts of people who have tried these rituals and summoned up the most terrible things and had a very hard time banishing them. Please people if you are going to try these rituals, be well grounded in magickal theory and practice, because this book works.” Just reading that really makes me curious, I mean it’s most likely a load of shit, but it’s not like these reviewers are being paid to say this about the book… Oh, wait… Nevermind.
I was bored today, so I was looking around for news on when Orgazmo will be coming out on DVD… Anyway, I was looking at the actors bios, and Ron Jeremy’s was on there. I knew he was in some porn movies, but I had no idea he was in this many… DAMN. Anyway, I was browsing through eBay, and I saw people selling Orgazmo on DVD. I haven’t seen it in any stores, but I guess that means it will be out very soon, since what they’re selling is the actual DVD, not something they made on their computer. I already ordered a copy, and almost immediately afterwards I came across this. Just my luck, the SUPER GOLD BONUS PREMIER COLLECTORS EDITION comes out later on this year… I wish I would have waited for that instead.
This is for all you In Flames fans, I got this from theprp.com: In Flames frontman Anders Friden has involved himself a new project dubbed Passenger with Gardenian guitarist Niclas Engelin, Headplate bassist H�kan Skoger, and former Transport League drummer Patrik J. Sten. The band will be releasing their self-titled debut effort in North America through Century Media on June 3rd. An mp3 of the first song off the effort, “In Reverse”, is currently available for download here. And while I’m on the general subject of music, if you’re a fan of Staind, you can preview a song from their upcoming new album here.
If you’re a rap fan, all of the best music on MP3.com can be found here… Hahaha. How about 250 free color business cards? Make your own here. Wanna download the new NOFX EP? Well too bad, no one will hook me up with MP3 hosting so I guess you’re S.O.L. I’m listening to it right now though, and I like what I hear. It’s called “Regaining Unconsciousness”, and it’s only got five tracks (four songs and a promo thing) on it, but hey, it’s new NOFX, I can’t complain… And I can’t wait for the new album itself. And finally, if you want free DVDs, this site has ‘em… But you have to sign up for trials of shit like AOL and Netflix to get the DVDs… Still, I thought it might be of interest to some of you.
Alright, for the past week or so, I’ve been so occupied with this art shit I have to do. I take 2D Design, and the assignments we get every week are ridiculously complex, they always involve tons of unnecessary, tedious shit. Anyway, the thing she gave us last time we had class, we had three weeks to do. So that would make it due next week, but I thought it was due today, so I was up until like 3 last night finishing it. I was so glad to have it done, and even though I would have never done something like this if I wasn’t required to, I was pretty satisfied with what I’d made. So I’m in class today, and I showed it to her, and she immediately told me I was nowhere near finished. The content of my bowels then proceeded to empty into my pants, and down my legs. Hearing this pissed me off so much, because I spent at least ten hours working on this shit, no joke. Her explanation of what my work was lacking made absolutely no sense, but according to her, art has emotion and it needs to feel content. When I went back to my desk, I was talking to someone and she overheard me say “this sucks”, and she totally flipped out on me - I’m the first person she’s even raised her voice at in this class so far. She told me that Graphic Design was all about work, and making changes, and sacrafice, and blah blah blah, I’m not even in Graphic Design, so what the hell does that mean to me? Anyway, she said if I didn’t like it I could walk out the door… Plus I was kinda stiz, so that didn’t help anything… here’s the product of me isolating myself in my room for the past week or so…
Sure, it might not look like much, but you have no idea how hard it was to cut out some of those pieces, you can’t see how detailed it is because it’s a pretty low-quality image, and I took it in a dark room. Anyway, I’m pissed because I have to redo basically the whole thing, and it’s due next Wednesday. Oh yeah, and I dunno if I mentioned that it’s 20″ x 20″. I guess I won’t be making any plans for this weekend…
