The standard Olympic ranking method on American sites like TSN is uniformly by total medal count instead of gold, the Chinese preference, which has put the United States on top since the Beijing games began 12 days ago. Chinese sites like the portal 163 (中国 = China, 美国 = USA) prefer to count by gold medals won - in fact the Chinese sites don't even list total medals. That little statistical preference became irrelevant right about now (I check the count every few hours) as it would appear that China has pulled up to [...]
" Contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II, and the Star Wars Trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there's lots of books in your local library, many of them with cool, gory pictures. " - Bart Simpson Hey protesters in front of my building right now: you know what? It is that easy. You were right, and they were just fucking with you. If you yell just [...]

Though I can strongly relate to both Nick Carraway and Paul Pennyfeather , the fictional character I identify the most with is Major Clipton from The Bridge on the River Kwai , gazing down at the panorama of broken bodies and twisted wreckage and despairing at the stupidity and waste of it all: "Madness! Madness!" An American-educated (tossed around by the media like it's a mark of distinction, though there is no shortage of dumbasses the descriptor applies to) leader of Georgia, a Western-friendly former Soviet republic, tries to mobilize domestic support by appealing [...]

What're yew lookin' at, maggot? Move it! So I'm trying for my license again…fear and loathing on the highway? You betcha. Mind you, nothing comes close to those fleeting moments before my driving instructor arrives. He's a piece of work, he is. Thinks I'm mentally deficient, and you can tell, the way he starts foaming at the mouth when I don't get an instruction right. Actually, scratch that – I get them right, he just jumps the gun and freaks out before I've even had a chance to screw up the parallel [...]

Quale appassionato di musica non ha le sue canzoni preferite per i momenti in cui si trova in auto? Da sempre c'è chi si sceglie i dischi giusti e chi si crea le proprie compilation, che se una volta erano su cassetta, ora sono in cd o direttamente sotto forma di playlist dei lettori mp3. Una nota marca di automobili ha stilato la compilation ideale per i viaggi in macchina. Trovo sempre divertente scorrere questi elenchi ma, allo stesso tempo, sappiamo quanto siano troppo personali per non creare dissenso. In ogni caso, questi sono i pezzi proposti come [...]

Hace poco ya les comentaba acerca de que Prodigy re editará sus discos viejos para lanzarlos con un poco de material inédito y parece que esto parece estar ya de moda, porque ahora es el turno de que U2 hago lo propio. La banda irlandesa lanzará próximamente sus tres primeros álbumes con un poco de material inédito y rarezas, se trata de los discos "Boy, October y War" todos lanzados en la decada de los 80s en los inicios de la banda.

photos by kristen bartley We thought these Cold War Kids photographs would make some nice Sunday eye candy. There from the show two weeks back in Prospect Park by the talented Kristen Bartley. Which randomly reminds me, have you ever see the movie The Talented Mr. Ripley ? It ends perfectly. I love noise over a black screen. Continue reading to check out this B&W gallery.

(from wartheband.com ) When the Latin-funk-rock band War takes the Live Off The Levee stage on Saturday night, listeners no doubt will expect to hear many of the group's familiar songs from the 1970s. However, the group that will be pumping out renditions of tunes such as "Low Rider," "Why Can't We Be Friends," and "All Day Music" will feature just one musician who was part of War in their hit-making days. Keyboard player and singer Lonnie Jordan is the only original [...]

Doesn't it just warm your heart? Bing Crosby - Dear Hearts and Gentle People (from The Definitive Collection , 2006) - A song that just screams out for ironic appropriation (see also the recently unveiled Fallout 3 trailer), especially in light of some of the allegations made about Der Bingle's domestic life. The Breeders - Happiness is a Warm Gun (from Pod , 1990) - Only a Boston-based alt-rock side project could be this precise.

The lead track off Mike Doughty's new album Golden Delicious is called "Fort Hood." It's not an anti-war song, but it is about the young soldiers who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and about Doughty's feelings about them. Doughty grew up a military brat and had first-hand experience with Vietnam veterans. I smell blood and there's no blood around The blanked out eyes and the blanked out sound I see them coming back; they're motionless in an airport lounge Let the sunshine in [...]

I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. - Abraham Lincoln Remix Sunday 111 Zipped Up.

The Blackbyrds - Walking In Rhythm.mp3 If I were to set my alarm clock to wake me up with a song to start my day on a high, this might be it. "Walking In Rhythm", which was released in 1975, exudes just the right measure of confident
