NYC car bomb found

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

last night me and Ali arrived in NYC at about 4pm. It was very hot, and when took the subway up to our hotel.

We chilled out for a bit then walked around (first headed west in the wrong direction, then north in the wrong direction) then went south east towards the business area.

We stopped for some chicken wings and a beer when all these cops, fire engines and ambulences turned up.

We thought nothing for it until we heard the news this morning. A car filled with explosives was found smoking, a block from where we were sitting.

Bloomburg has it under control, car removed and destroyed. Streets are back open.

The car contained 3 propane tanks, and 2 petrol canisters with clock timers.

However, we feel safe having said all that.

We have no fears and will keep our plan as sorted. The only fear is the Apple store not being open.

Deftones release Rocket Skates music video in HD for free

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The Deftones latest single out is Rocket Skates for the up coming album Diamond Eyes. They’ve just released their latest single as HD for free – however it’s a QuickTime MOV file. Not MP4 or something that everyone can play/enjoy.

So I’ve created an MKV for those who don’t like/use QuickTime.

NIN in the studio? New material soon?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Reznor has just posted some new interesting photos on ninentitled “?”

Last time this happened it was the release of The Slip which was offered as a free download and later purchased digipak.

Sounds like the Halo volumes are back?

Updated: looks like Atticus Ross is back in there too. Perhaps a Ghosts V-IIX?

Movie of the week: The Hurt Locker

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Just saw this movie, and was blown away. It’s a movie about the lives of a bombsquad working in Iraq (2008) disarming cluster/roadside bombs. The story is well told, and directed to screen. It shows what it must be like there from both sides, invading and being invaded. Caution if you’re a little squeamish, as this movie doesn’t hold out on the gory details (which are a fact of life).

IMDB gives it a hearty 7.9/10 which i think is well deserved.

Hate your hero, kill him, and you will love him

Friday, June 26th, 2009

There has been so many posts around the internet about Michael Jackon’s death that it actually made the internet dip into a grave of 404′s, 504′s and even 509′s. One site affected in particular was, google news due to an extraordinary amount of search requests for “michael jackson” – the server thought it was a virus or DOS attack so it shutdown temporarily. The server was repaired within the hour.

But that’s not what I’m talking about. Michael Jackson was certainly a hero to many, as there were so many people with & against him during his lawsuit cases – but now the internet is overwhelmed with RIP notices and “oh he was so great” this that and the other.

It seems to me that his death was so sudden for people that they’ve automatically let go of previous feelings (or gained new ones). I dunno. I think many people thought (and have even said) that he’s a “weirdo” and laughed and scoffed at his return to the stage. Now these people are jumping on the RIP bandwagon and are up voicing their opinions (again) about him. Somewhat of a hypocrisy there.

The only thing i have to say about Jackson is “Sorry, I feel I’m apart of piracy because I once bought a cassingle from a store and they accidentally put your full album in the cassette case”. Plus, “Your death was the only news on this morning’s radio news and googling binging the legitimacy of the news i happened to miss the weather report. Thanks a lot.”

RIP wacko jacko
