hey, i totally understand what you mean when you're talking about the new soad album.
it's always the same problem, "rebel music gets picked up by commercial stations and gets kinda spoilt".

and you are totally right about music coming before lyrics: damn it, on the new record one of the songs has a chorus that says "gonorreah gorgonzola", it makes no friggin sense! but it all fits the music at that time. but i am annoyed by it a bit, i love singing, and i'm gonna hate having to sing about gonorreah and gorgonzola!!!

mind you, they also manage to make you dance and sing to a chorus that goes "violent pornography, choking girls and sodomy"

damn,can't wait to listen to the album at home, it's one month to go now.

by the way, to answer your question if they're gonna include more middle-eastern music: yeah, there are more and more hints of it in the new songs, you should particularly expect something interesting out of "radio/video", which is a totally ethnic song (a lot like GORAN BREGOVIC, if you know who this slavian artist is), with some metal melodies intertwined in this far-east structure... very fascinating.

i am sure you'll end up liking the album. just like 600.000.000 people will

p.

hope not, but I think System has been doing a decent job of trying to stay out of the limelight and not get caught up with the college campus Zapatista bullshit. Everyone knows that rebellion lasts as long as people are shocked or follow the cause. If it's a cause the whole doesn't agree with or is affected by, nobody cares (sad to say).

that's fucking nuts. I've never really thought about the concept of time before. I know all I've thought about time is just that I either don't have enough or too much of. You only have not enough time whenever you're enjoying something or you're under a deadline. You have too much time when you're finally caught up and you're wondering "what's next?". I'll have to meditate more on the concept of time now.

that's great to hear. Maybe this will be a new turning point for you in your life...

The paper is only supposed to be 1 1/2 pages long anyway, but the professor just wanted us to read over the next chapter and relate what 5 viewpoints would say about youthanasia. It's easy, but he was vague about what 5 viewpoints he wanted. Fucking crazy old man!

I come to the same conclusion most times myself. The main reason being is that I feel I don't know someone well enough to even fathom what it's like to be them. Other times, I'm just happy to be myself that I'm not worried about others.

From what I've read dreams actually last in real time. So something 5 minutes long actually dreams 5 minutes long. It's like watching a tv show and how switching cameras can cut time down. I think that you only dream in the beginning and end of REM sleep, but I'm not sure.
