The coffee isn't working...

This is my only hope.

If this doesn't work - put me to bed with a shovel.

This song's been hitting the airwaves pretty hard around here... we're probably behind, as well.

It's different. It's certainly not the sort of thing I normally listen to. But I thought I'd share it.

There's two videos for this song - one was a film school project done for the group back in '06, and the current "professional" animated one.

I prefer the original.

Either way... it's worth a listen, even if it IS rap...

New Video if You Like

I found this absolute gem of a website through merryb87 merryb87 - who, by the way, is a genius.

It's called Graph Jam- Pop Culture for People in Cubicles- it's, er, humor through graphs... really.

Jokes for all us visual spatial thinkers out there.

Racists Don't Represent London -

Protest Against BNP Fascist on London Assembly

****Please repost to let as many people know about this as possible as it's short notice****

Protest Against BNP fascist Richard Barnbrook's presence on the London Assembly.

City Hall (the GLA building), Queens Walk, London SE1
(nr Tower Bridge - see http://www.london.gov.uk/gla/locationmap.jsp)

Called by Love Music Hate Racism. Bring banners, whistles, horns, music - make some noise against racism and fascism, no Nazis on the GLA.


[PRESS RELEASE]

Anti-fascist musicians and activists will resist the BNP

"Anger As BNP Racists Win Assembly Seat in London"

The fascist British National Party's London fuhrer, Richard Barnbrook, must not be allowed to settle comfortably into his ill-gotten office, but must be resisted at every turn. LMHR and other anti-fascist activists are already planning protests and other actions aimed at preventing the BNP turning their assembly win into a respectable platform for spreading racist poison in London.

Barnbrook has managed to con a small minority of Londoners into voting for him, to scrape onto the London Assembly via the cross-London party list - largely through votes won in outer London boroughs like Barking & Dagenham and Havering & Redbridge . Without the anti-fascist campaigning prior to the election, and particularly last Sunday's huge Love Music Hate Racism Carnival, the BNP would undoubtedly have gained more seats in London. The Carnival showed the mass audience opposed to racism and fascism which can build the bigger united anti-fascist movement that can stop the Nazis.

Weyman Bennett from Unite Against Fascism said: "Several members of BNP have convictions for racial hatred this includes the leader of the BNP Nick Griffin. In the past other fascists leaders have use the democratic freedoms in order to destroy everybody rights and freedom of speech. "

Drew McConnell, of leading LMHR-supporting band Babyshambles, said: "Multicultural Britain should be celebrated. Immigration is not to blame for unemployment or housing problems, and does not negatively affect the economy, but the BNP tell us this is actually the case. We want them to know they're not fooling us. Everyone knows the BNP are a Nazi organization, and they can't hide behind their suits forever."

The BNP represent the politics of hate and division. BNP members like David Copeland have been involved in planting bombs in London. Only last month BNP Nick Eriksen one of the BNP candidates in London was forced to withdraw his candidacy, after he was exposed for writing sexist, racist and offensive comments on a blog in which he uses the name "Sir John Bull" visit http://www.uaf.org.uk for quotes from his blog.

What I first thought to be an unnecessarily intense and unprovoked attack of fibro-related TMJ, turns out to be more probably an ear infection.

So, I've been stealing my kids' doxycyclene - the antibiotics they take for their acne.

I'm such an outlaw. *rolls eyes*

In celebration of it being the first time in three days wherein it doesn't hurt like a son of a bitch to wear headphones - I bring you some loud and bouncy music.
