Do you know The Bible? Yes, that almost certainly fictional book that has somehow become the basis of the lives and actions of millions of people? (including, let it be said, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people? /controversial) Well, in Liverpool, instead of that, we have Bido Lito! , which tells us about new music that definitely happened and is almost certainly brilliant. Anyway, the good folks over at that there magazine provide us with a monthly podcast, and the most recent one is particularly noteworthy because it gifted [...]

People can and have used the Bible to justify just about every atrocity in the history of ever, from the Spanish Inquisition to the Crusades, to slavery and to the subjugation of women. However - while I admit to not being a Biblical scholar of any kind whatsoever- who knew that it could also be used to deny SNAP (food stamp) benefits ? In the GOP's crusade to rid the nation of all the programs that help anybody, food stamps are at the top of the list. Naturally . In the debate surrounding the issue, Juan [...]

Meet Joe Barton. The 63-year-old Republican hails from the Dallas-Fort Worth and has maintained his U.S. Congressional seat since 1985. He's also a card-carrying member of the Tea Party Caucus and has a seat on the Subcommittee on Energy and Power, which held a hearing on Wednesday about approving development for the much-contended Keystone Pipeline, a.k.a. the Northern Route Approval Act. The pipeline, for those of you who don't watch oil spill porn , would basically transfer an obscene amount of crude oil and natural gas from Alaska and Canada to the contiguous United States. Big businesses [...]

At this point, I'm not even sure why I bother. Between the cheap sets and the clunky dialogue, the bad acting and the implausible storylines, Days of Our Lives has been borderline unwatchable for years. That said, as long as it stays in the so-bad-it's-still-kind-of-good column, I'll continue to tune in. Everyone needs a few guilty pleasures in life, and for me Days is guilty pleasure No. 1. There are other benefits of watching: The Melissa Reeves' Chick-fil-A fiasco and the WilSon gay storyline , among a few other things, [...]

”I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or hot: it would be better if you were cold or hot,” wrote John the Revelator, quoting God in the final, apocalyptic book of the Bible. “So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.” And surprisingly, that same line pretty much sums up the tenor of the Ben Folds Five reunion album, The Sound of the Life of the Mind . Initially, the sound of this new disc is [...]

As anyone who has read my blog over the years would know, faith has always been something I've struggled with. Not religion. Faith. Religion is just a fundamental twisting of the message into whatever considered or twisted way man wants to view the bibles of the world. Religion is about money, power and control in a large percentage of cases. Faith is about one's personal view why we are on this earth and what it means. Faith in many ways is about comfort, support and love. My struggle, of course, is faith in [...]

Pusha drops the official visuals to his crucial diss track, Exodus 23:1 . Check it out below.

Pusha T literally just tweeted this link that led us to a video teaser for his newest cut, Exodus 23:1. There's already been a lot of controversy surrounding the tracks with listeners saying that Pusha was taking shots at Drake, but with some visuals I'm sure we can get a definite answer.

How do you fit an 11-piece band on a small stage? Just ask Kansas Bible Company , a rock & roll orchestra returning to MOTR on April 14. The group is made up of a 5-piece horn section, three guitarists, two percussionists, and a bass player. Though the band is neither from Kansas, nor a Bible company (the name is a reference from the 1973 film Paper Moon), their story is pretty fascinating nonetheless. All 11 members reside in Nashville in a formerly delipidated boarding home they converted into a living space known as the Hotel [...]

Two different stories about homosexuality and the bible floating out there in the world within days of one another is just two good to pass up. So here they are, lumped together for your reading pleasure. 1. Dan Savage highly recommends a new documentary on the subject by Matthew Vines: Matthew Vines is a young gay man who grew up in Kansas. His family is Christian and very conservative. After coming out, Vines took two years off college to research and think deeply about what the bible says—and doesn't say—about homosexuality. [...]

"I know it's got to stop love, but I don't know how." So cries Peter Liddle, two minutes into "New Ceremony".It's a single moment that encapsulates the magic of Shallow Bed. Lyrics that strike a true note. Their poignancy enhanced by Liddle's crumpled vocals, straight from the choir. All nestled amongst a fantastically rich soundbed. After the warm up of "Animal Skins" it is "New Ceremony", that first hits upon the refreshing brilliance that goes on to dominate this confident debut. Peter Liddle, Matthew Taylor, Will Harvey, Scott Miller and Jon Warren have a background in hardcore [...]

Bob Dylan: Man Gave Names [ purchase ] The Bible tells us that "in the beginning was the word" (John I), and to the extent that is based on sound, the logical extension of this is "and the music sounded good." Genesis tells us that "in the beginning, there was God" (and God is the Word). Also in Genesis, the Bible says that " God ... formed out of [...]

Remember a couple of months back when we reported that Necrobutcher, aka Jørn Stubberud, from the band Mayhem, was to be exorcised on Norwegian state television? And by infamous Televangelist preacher and "demon hunter", Bob Larson, no less? Well, not only has it gone and happened, and you can watch it happening right after the jump. [...]

Clown - aka M. Shawn Crahan - from Slipknot has always been the artsy one in the nine-piece, and now, he wants all of his "maggots" to get a little artsy. He is creating the Maggot Bible, a book comprised of nothing but visual artwork from nothing but Slipknot fans in the form of poems, ...

Good news for Behemoth frontman, Adam "Nergal" Darski; he's not going to jail. He was brought to trial in Poland recently by the All-Polish Committee for Defense Against Sects, over offending religious feelings in his home country. Nergal reportedly calling the Catholic Church "the most murderous cult on the planet" during a September 2007 performance, ...

Studying the human genome has  disproven  the possibility that we sprang from two people, NPR reports.Shocking, right: Karl Giberson - who taught physics at Eastern Nazarene College until his views became too uncomfortable in Christian academia - says Protestants who question Adam and Eve are akin to Galileo in the 1600s, who defied Catholic Church doctrine by stating that the earth revolved around the sun and not vice versa. Galileo was condemned by the church, and it took more than three centuries for the Vatican to express regret at its error. "When you ignore [...]
