Seize The Day retro

New Avenged Sevenfold video.

Sorry guys, I lived through the 80's and the 90's and I have already seen and heard everything you do.

event: Stop the U.S.-Israeli Assault on the People of Palestine!

JULY 3, 4:30 P.M.
CONSULATE OF ISRAEL
456 MONTGOMERY ST., S.F.
(between California and Sacramento)

sponsored by Al-Awda

Israel destroyed the main power station in Gaza and destroyed bridges on the only major roads linking the northern and southern sections of the region (using U.S. supplied F-16 fighter-bombers).
Most of the people of Gaza are now without water and electricity.
Israel has kidnapped a third of the members of the Palestinian Authority governing body.
Israeli warplanes struck the Palestinian Interior Ministry setting it ablaze.
Israeli warplanes also hit a Fatah office.
Many Palestinians are dying.

All because Israel demands the release of a captured Israeli occupation soldier.
The soldier's captors agreed to a conditional release but Israel has not met the conditions.

This is all a brutal display by Israel to show Palestinians that 1 Israeli life is worth more than all Palestinians!

(thanx Immortal Technique)

-power -water

I could write here about how Israel has cut electricity and water to the residents of the Gaza Strip but should that come as any surprise?

Those bloodthirsty Zionist fucks will use any excuse for a massacre.

BTW- This is a perfect example of what is known as 'collective punishment' which is illegal under any semblence of International Law.

"emo"

One of the most over-used and improperly-used words I can think of is 'emo'.
I cringe when I hear that word now.

HERE is an interesting and pretty thorough attempt at rightfully defining "emo."

hello?

please someone read my blog.

Fucked Up

Fucked Up may be fast becoming my new favorite band.

I know I am a little behind on this as Never Healed and the Viking Skins minions have been on the Fucked Up tip for some time.

3: venom

The Spider-Man 3 teaser trailer is online now!
Looks pretty damn good.

The black spidey costume is in effect.
It obviously looks different than the symbiote costume in the book but I read this was done to create a distinction between black Spider-Man and Venom.

The villians look great.
Topher Grace looking all strung out! Thomas Hayden Church as an excellent choice for Sandman. The return of Green Goblin (Harry Osborn).

Steve Ditko gets a writing credit too!

Lost v. Earth 2

There is compelling argument that the excellent TV show Lost is really just a rehash of an older show, Earth 2.

Fish + Aesop

Jeremy Fish and Aesop Rock have made a "children's book."

Jeremy Fish had the chance to pitch a cartoon to Disney. When Aesop Rock relocated to the city by the bay, they hooked up on the project.
Since Disney dissed, the two got Upper Playground to put out their collabo.

ATP: lineup

Thurston Moore is curating an arm of All Tomorrow's Parties Fest.
His chosen line up:
-MC5 (with Mudhoney's singer) going by the name of DKT/MC5
-The Stooges
-Deerhoof (How the hell do they get to play with everyone!?!?)
-Red C
-Negative Approach
and a lot more

"give it all up"

The Sounds' new jam is definitely a club banger.
The video's hot factor and hip quotient is overboard high... So who else should be heavily featured in it other than Steve Aoki!
Some dancers are wearing Dim Mak gear and we get to see Aoki shoot champagne a la Dre Dre!

"got my Vans on"

As if "Vans" by The Pack wasn't already hot enough, The Pack got a "Vans" remix featuring Too $hort!
They even got Short vowing to never wear Nikes.

SuicideGirls : right-wing porn

Infamous porn site SuicideGirls.com purports to promote "unconventionally gorgeous pin-up girls devoted to changing your idea of what makes women beautiful." Although the women posing on the site may do just that, this is NOT the intent of the site's controller, Sean Suhl.

Sean Suhl is a lunatic Zionist neo-con!

Unhappy, many SG models have left on less than good terms.
Models were not compensated fairly, were deceived, and have been blackmailed.

The site censors political views that clash with Suhl's.
SG also removed images in what they claim was a preemptive move to thwart the FBI. This was a publicity stunt and only served to draw potential legal attention towards SG's competetors.

Suhl has repeatedly voiced blatant support for outright Palestinian (and Arab) genocide.
He is a racist that gives free membership to members of the Israeli Defence Forces.
This maniac is also a major war-monger.

more on SG's racism

a great article on why SG models quit

Do NOT support SuicideGirls.com!
Suspend any membership and tell them why!

Can anyone get me a photo or any more information on Sean Suhl, please??

event: Drawing Restraint

6/23-9/17
SFMOMA
Matthew Barney

DRAWING RESTRAINT is an ongoing, performance-based project exploring the notion that form emerges through struggle against resistance.
The exhibition occupies the Museum’s entire fourth floor, which has been reconfigured to eliminate the gallery walls and so encourage a nonlinear experience of the art.
A lot of things are going on at SFMOMA in conjunction with this exhibition.

2 Ian Curtis films

Anton Corbin has been making the film,Control, based on Ian Curtis and Joy Division.
Now, Jamie Thraves will direct "All The Time"- another Ian Curtis biopic!

road to Gitmo

The trailer for the film Road To Guantanamo is online.

sad and sickening

The treatment of the men imprisoned at this most notorious of prisons ultimately lies on our backs as Americans.
We, as Americans, are letting this happen by re-electing Bush, by not pressuring or FORCING our government to release these men, and/or by doing nothing.

With even Bush talking about closing Guantanamo's prison, you know that the global pressure is there.
Guantanamo is a glaring example of the two-sidedness of US word and action.
However, closing the prison is not enough... We cannot allow these men to be shipped to scattered secret prisons around the globe to rot. They must be freed.

Many fear releasing these never-charged never-tried men could drive them right into the hands of the US's enemies.
If there ever was something I hope comes back to bite the US on its ass, it is this.

fearless

Jet Li is fighting imperialists in his new film.

El-P + NIN + Mars Volta

El-P announced that his next album will feature Trent Reznor and The Mars Volta.

streetfight: Philippines

pig with a fractured skull

suicide

“no regard for life, either ours or their own... I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."

suicide

great ape power

Spain could soon become the first country in the world to give chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other great apes some of the fundamental rights granted to human beings.

al Zarqawi: dead

Zarqawi is dead, right?

He was pronounced dead approximately 1 hour after the US bombed his location.
What happened in that hour?

Schreifels

Walter Schreifels is a musical genius. It is that simple.
Everything he has ever done is gold (even if I was not the biggest Rival Schools fan)!

Forget a GB reunion.
I would rather see the modern man performing his classics.

green scare: informants & snitches

As part of the Federal government's attack on the environmetal and eco-liberation struggles, a confidential source has apparently provided information in at least 12 anarchist cases since 2004. The confidential source has traveled to and infiltrated various anarchist gatherings and protests across the country including the Biodev 2005 demonstrations in Philadelphia, a CrimethInc. convergence in Indiana and the Feral Visions green anarchist gathering in North Carolina.

Additional information used as evidence has been obtained from LiveJournal and MySpace.

Accused would be eco-saboteur Lauren "Ren" Weiner has pled guilty to conspiracy charges and has agreed to provide evidence against her co-defendants held in Sacramento and assist the prosecution.
She is living with her mother in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York out on $1.2million bail.

old-time lifers who are still living the life

EastBay Express did a decent article on Look Back And Laugh!

_____

In the same issue, some douchebag wrote a sometimes funny but mainly lame piece on AFI.

Rockies' religion

The Colorado Rockies baseball team have gone public saying that they choose players based on them being Christian.
"We're not going to hide it. We're not going to deny it. This is who we are."
CEO Monfort: "I don't want to offend anyone, but I think character-wise we're stronger than anyone in baseball. Christians, and what they've endured, are some of the strongest people in baseball."

The Rockies only have 2 Black starting players.
Afterall, their stadium's namesake, William Coors, said in 1984 that Africans "lack the intellectual capacity to succeed, and it's taking them down the tubes".

This all fits right in with Major League Baseball's new "Faith Days".

sweetness

A safe, natural sweetener that is virtually calorie-free is available but the FDA doesn't want you to have it.

Stevia!

I love boys hardcore

I got involved in HC/punk because I was different. It was different. I hated this world and wanted nothing of what it had to offer me.

Somehow now it is acceptable and cool to hate all the things that normal people hate.
How did our hate get so undiscernable?
Why is our hatred not aiming in the right direction? (a threatening one)

When I hear boys in my community spit so much venom toward their sisters, it makes me want to puke.
There is no way it should ever be a joke to threaten women involved in our scene (or women in general for that matter)!

We act no different than insecure jocks in high school.



I hope you get what you deserve.

beef: A7X vs DEP

Dillinger Escape Plan made the obvious distinction that Avenged Sevenfold are "Horrible. Absolutely horrible".
Wondering "“How do kids like this stuff?"

Avenged Sevenfold countered saying DEP "make shitty noises and try to pass it off as music."

"What about bands that makeshitty noise and try to pass it off as Guns N' Roses?" a Dillinger MySpace post read in response.
DEP have also created stage names for themselves like A7X:
G. Piranha, Blaster Master Weinman, Bullwhip Benoit, Corpsefucker Pennie, and Leafeater Wilson

Dillinger Escape Plan will be touring with AFI and hopefully keep up the feud.

It will feature The Silver Surfer and given Jessica Alba's hints of "other people out there with superpowers" and "another love triangle" maybe Namor The Sub-Mariner.

Just as long as they don't use that lame movie-version of Doom!
