Dr. Strangelove.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (commonly known as Dr. Strangelove) is a 1964 American/British black comedy film directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn and Slim Pickens. Loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert (aka Two Hours to Doom), Dr. Strangelove satirized the nuclear scare.

The story concerns an unhinged US Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, and follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse, as well as the crew of one B-52 as they attempt to deliver their payload.

In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was listed as number three on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs.

Shoegazing

Shoegazing (also known as shoegaze) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It lasted until the mid 1990s with a critical zenith reached in 1990 and 1991. The British music press—particularly NME and Melody Maker—named this style shoegazing because the musicians in these bands stood relatively still during live performances, in a detached, introspective, non-confrontational state, hence the idea that they were gazing at their shoes.[1]

The shoegazing sound is typified by significant use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blended into the creative noise of the guitars.[1] A lump description given to shoegazing and other affiliated bands in London in the early 1990s was The Scene That Celebrates Itself. In the 1990s, shoegazing groups were pushed aside by the American grunge movement, forcing the relatively unknown bands to break up or reinvent their style altogether.[1] Recent times have seen a renewed interest in the genre among "nu-gaze" bands.


Common musical elements of shoegazing consist of distortion, droning riffs and a "wall of sound" from noisy guitars. Typically, two distorted rhythm guitars are played together to give an amorphous quality to the sound. Although lead guitar riffs were often present, they were not the central focus of most shoegazing songs

Vocals are typically subdued in volume and tone, but underneath the layers of guitars is generally a strong sense of melody. However, lyrics are not emphasized; vocals are often treated as an additional instrument.[2] While the genres which influenced shoegazing often used drum machines, shoegazing more often features live drumming

The most commonly cited precursors to shoegazing are Cocteau Twins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine

Love this stuff.

Why do things always seem worse at night?

At night, if you are awake with worry, it is easy to work yourself into a state because your isolation and insignificance in the universe seems so much greater when everyone else is asleep. Also, it is against our natural circadian rhythms to be awake at this time because it unbalances hormones/chemicals in the brain. In a recent study of day-to-day happiness, the greatest common factor between people who reported lower levels of general happiness was poor sleep patterns. Which leads to the question: is unhappiness caused by poor sleeping habits or vice versa?

Road trip 2011

Plan to drive across the states (West coast to East coast) some time in 2011. Start in LA and then drive through bat country for our first stop in Las Vegas. Then...who knows where on the. As long as the route is free from any other critters like stingrays and electric snakes. I pray the car doesn't break down and we end up fucked up little inbred towns that in the texas chainsaw massacre. Or some dodgy motel like the one in Alfred Hitchcock Psycho(1960)

...I really watch too many horror film.

Why we should fear and respect escalators

I am a sick sick person.

Irn-Bru

“I once tasted Irn-Bru. It was like having my eyes plucked right out of my head and I awoke several days later in the middle of a field, naked, with a traffic cone stuck up my arse.”

~ Oscar wilde on Irn-Bru


Irn-Bru is a non-alcoholic national drink of Scotland, reputedly made from Girders (see similarity in colour to the Forth Rail Bridge). Possibly addictive; those who have never tasted it previously typically react by saying that it is either (a) disgusting or (b) unbelievably sweet. Those who have been exposed from infancy, however, believe it to be the most delicious drink in the known universe. Irn-Bru, if taken in sufficient quantity along with a Scotch Pie, is widely accepted as the finest cure yet discovered for the hangover.

Irn Bru is bright orange in colour, so bright in fact that it glows in the dark and is the sole light source in many a windswept croft in the Highlands. It is widely thought that the Irn Bru was originally supposed to be a water substitute with no flavour or taste but the chemicals in the Clyde River where the water was taken from have altered it to the phenomenal drink we know today. This chemical has also been blamed for the hardy Scots attitude and firm held belief that the English are wankers.

There are many symptoms that allow you to recognise who has consumed this orange coloured drink. The first symptom is that it gives you ginger hair all over your body (nowhere is safe). It may cause the consumer to have lack of sleep because their body starts glowing a bright orange. This can also be noticeed with a rash. If drank with vodka these symptoms can be avoided and no hangover, just a lack of memory. This cocktail is named "Russian-Bru" and very popular in the Scottish pubs and clubs. I personally drink it every day and I'm fine.

The Big Pink

Saw them last night at King Tut's, in Glasgow town.
Was a damn good gig. Except this cunt kept shouting "Digital Hardcore". Do they even play this song? Its not on the first and only album. Maybe its a B-side track. Anyway lets just say the "Digital Hardcore" guy went home disappointed. hahahahaahahah
