Music Review: Neko Case – The Worse Things Get ….

This was in my email recently. I love that magazine Utne Reader. They always have such interesting stuff. They even send me email updates  a couple of times a week. They do great film, music, art, book reviews. I might subscribe to them just for that. They also have really good writing and very different viewpoints from some of the other magazines I get. Pretty much totally opposite from Reason magazine for instance (which I also love- “free minds and free markets”). You won’t find much of the stuff they print in the mainstream magazines like Time either. They used to call themselves “the best of the alternative press”, now they say “cure ignorance”. I love it 🙂

Update on M/V Gold Star

Here’s an update on the Gold Star. The ship with the cargo of $80 million or so in hash/marijuana/weed. This one has a video to watch.

It looks like an ‘exciting’ chase. At least for the authorities. I can’t see how anybody could still be on the ship. Maybe there’s still someone in the engine room? The entire house is in flames! Looks a little strange to me. I have no idea what hash is worth these days but the cargo holds look empty…

New Music: Humming House

I just found out about this great new band. It’s cool, I never would have known about them but they stopped by my blog and liked a post of mine. So I went to check them out. I found out they have some stuff online and a few videos on utube and an album out (Live at the Red Clay Theatre). You can go to their website and check them out. Its www.humminghouse.com. Here’s a sample…

Google Offers First Street View from Inside a Ship | gCaptain

This is pretty cool! If you’ve never been on a ship before, or if they’ve never let you look around the bridge, engine room, or other areas usually restricted to the crew, this post from www.gcaptain.com will give you a virtual tour. It was taken on board the research vessel Falkor (owned by the Schmidt Ocean Institute). SOI was founded by the same guy (Dr Eric Schmidt) who founded Google- cool!!

Enjoy the tours and let me know what you think 🙂

Texas Police Hit Organic Farm With Massive SWAT Raid

Texas Police Hit Organic Farm With Massive SWAT Raid.

This crap is going on every day now, all over the country, see the references in the article to SWAT raids on gay bars, organic farms, BARBER SHOPS???!! We now live in a police state and I can NOT figure out why more people are not up in arms about it. It is almost too late. When are people going to wake up enough to put a stop to it? If this keeps up much longer, something like this WILL happen to YOU! Remember what I said the other day: there are so many ‘laws’ on the books NO ONE in this country can go through a day without breaking at least one of them. Read the book Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate! You people who think ” if they’re not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about” are just plain refusing to see the truth in front of your eyes.
