Flying Lotus feat. Thom Yorke - And the World Laughs With You

Bloody lush sound.

Watch this: Bringing Out The Dead.

Finally I managed to get my hands on a DVD copy of this.



There are literally too many reasons to cite why this movie is so goddamn awesome.

This is a move you need to see.

And then some.

Massive Attack Feat. Feat. Feat.

There's something I wanna say about this album. This will remind me to do it later I hope.

[EDIT] Nope. Can't be assed.

Half-Life 2 for Mac is coming!

And you know what, here's original in case you don't get the reference.

Official Trailer for Parallel Lines is out!

Oh boy this looks bloody awesome.

Now, I have Googled "Gerard Brennan" on the Internet. It turns out, Sir Gerard, that you are either a Canadian native Eskimo with an interest in sustainable economic development in the Arctic region of Canada, or you are a former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia.

ABC News - Pendulum Remix

Liveblog feed from Bangkok

If you're following things over in Bangkok, this liveblog is worth checking in on.

What follows below is an example of the content coming through this site.

UPDATE: 7:59: A message from a well-respected Thai journalist:

I've talked with Naruemon Tabchumphon, behind-the-scene mediator from Chulalongkorn University, she asked me to convey an open-urgent message to the red-shirt leaders at Rajprasong to turn themselves to the authority in order to save lives as the dispersal has begun. "Their status will then change to like protagonists like Gandhi," she said at 7.40am, May 19.

BP: Not sure that posting this will help get the message to some red shirts, but well not much one can do.

UPDATE: 7:48: From Alistair Leithead of BBC who is on the ground within the protest zone tweets:

At least one injured protester here just taken off in makeshift ambulance behind barricades up from Silom. Troops moving in Lumpini.

UPDATE: 7:45: AP:

Thai troops have opened fire at a fortified encampment of anti-government protesters in central Bangkok.

Associated Press reporters saw the troops positioned on an overpass overlooking the encampment firing automatic rifles sporadically at the encampment Wednesday. There was no sustained shooting.

Some troops were also seen crouching on the elevated tracks of a light rail system that runs over the encampment.

The firing came after a large number of troops and armored carriers gathered at the edges of the encampment at daybreak amid reports of a final assault on the camp the protesters have occupied for weeks.
...
"This is D-Day," said one soldier when asked if this was the final push

BP:

UPDATE: 7:30: Seh U/Gen Lertlad, Appointed Senator & was acting as mediator last night, is interviewed on Ch 3. He estimates 100 dead; 1000+ injuries if military goes in with brute force. He says he is also worried of what will happen upcountry if brute force is used and is of the view that things could get out of control very quickly. He said he has been getting phonecalls all morning from friends in the military who want him to try to stop the crackdown.


UDPATE: 7:13: From Reuters live blog:

Thai troops fear tear gas at entrance to protest encampment near Bangkok's business district, according to Reuters witnesses

UPDATE: 7:05: ThaiPBS channel is showing smoke throughout Bangkok from burning tires

UPDATE: 6:55: Reuters have a live blog and it is being regularly updated. The military have yet to go in.

UPDATE: 6:35: AFP telephone Col. Sansern to ask what is happening. The answer "I will not answer any questions,"

UPDATE: 6:20: ThaiPBS reporter states at Sala Daeng hearing a military loud speaker as giving reds 15 minutes to leave...

UPDATE: 5:25: Matichon reports that Chami S, a list Democrat MP and head of the Democrats War Room, as stating that the 35 deaths so far is quite low and is viewed that the government has the advantage because it is just soliders entering the fringe of the protest area where the protesters hae weapons and are firing on soldiers

This is pretty cool. His other works in on the TED site and Def Jam Poetry are also worth checking out.

Now this, I enjoyed.

There is a website out there that is quite unlike any other. In as much as I may wish to refer you directly to it, the rules strictly prohibit it.

Mysterious? I know, right? To be honest though, I think those rules are more likely to have been drafted for your protection, rather than our own. At this site, there's a good chance you will see things that would make an old sailor blush. Needless to say, I think it would be better that I shepherd you clear of that dark and sinister realm.

Getting on with it though, this afternoon I came across a thread I found to be fairly interesting. The requirements are clear enough, and one can get an idea of what it is about, by looking at the responses that follow.

The significance of it as far as I'm concerned, is seeing how, within the scope of a certain demographic, people express retrospective regret. By that I mean, how people articulate their "I should'a/would'a/could'a" type thoughts. I could draw further upon all of that business, and the assumptions that could be premised upon the these posts, but that is something I'll leave up to you.

[EDIT] Just to make it perfectly clear, I am not the author of any of the content below, and the opinions expressed are not necessarily consistent with my own. Anyway, I removed the majority of inflammatory posts from the original material, just to be safe.

So, too, point out to us, to the left or right,
the shortest way to go towards the stair.
If more than one, teach us the least steep slope.
For this man here who comes along with me,
burdened in being clothed with Adam's flesh,
is loathe to climb, despite the will to do.

Canto 11, lines 40-5
