Seriously cool yet hillariously brilliant!

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and to download the studio version of the song for free, visit http://www.LetsDoThis.com/stunts and http://www.okgo.net. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.

Art or a Trainsmash

One of the Artworks recently put up on Campus is this one from Willie Bester that went up opposite our office building...



An African Don Quixote maybe?



Some of the detail is amazing!


This Campus artwork project also includes some wood carvings that have function built into the form in the way of seats... will take some pics of them as well soon.
Oh... do I think it is Art? very much so, it makes me want to tackle the scrapheap with my welder and grinder...

Bring it on...

with all the debate on bloggers getting scary threats in their comments all I can say is use the tools at hand and lock the blog's doors and windows for goodness sake! These retards get tired beating at a closed door and move on to the next open house to crash the comment party there.. However... I know some rough gents who frequent my favourite biker pub... they love re-educating moonbats... so feel free to threaten me... I will give you directions to the free consultation session... hell, I will even pay for the first drink!

The NSPCA gets this weeks Tuesday Twit Award for

wanting to ban Elephant Safaris, why stop there? Why not ban the use of all animals for any purpose whatsoever... or even better... ban humans from the planet!
The NSPCA and their Greenpeace tree hugging ilk would prefer the human species to be wiped off the face of earth for the good of Gia... Goretards GoreBots the lot of 'em I say!

In the first place these elephants seem to enjoy taking tourists for rides and secondly they provide a job opportunity for the guide and the lodges that do these safaris, without this there would be less elephants and a jobless local poaching them! These moonbats have no clue to the instruction The Old Man gave us when He said in Genesis "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Subdue means manage and preserve. Dominion means look after and protect as a ruler does to his country. Nowhere does His Word say we are to torture and destroy. By taming elephants, which is very easy to do by the way when done with TLC, we can ensure that people have an income and at the same time the very habitat of this magnificent beast can be preserved for the animals and the people.

I for one do not condone the maltreatment of any animal but to shoot the goose laying the golden egg is downright stupid to me. So from me to the NSPCA... do not come begging at my door for any alms...

Update: I will no longer use Goretard as this is a respected surname in the colder parts of Europe... heceforth I will refer to the followers of Al Gore as GoreBots.

What was the question?

You Are 4% Democrat

If you have anything in common with the Democrat party, it's by sheer chance. You're a staunch conservative, and nothing is going to change that!

How Democrat Are You?
