There’s been a lot of news the last few days about angry and ignorant happenings at McCain campaign events. I’m not going to go through them all - read the fucking news. I will say that these dumb hicks speaking up at these rallies display that racism and religious/cultural ignorance are alive and well in America. One of my favorite incidents took place in Minnesota. A woman got up to a mic to ask McCain a question and she said, “I’ve read about Obama and he is an Arab.” lol wtf That’s not even a question and Jesus Christ, yes, there is a lot of speculation among dumbasses that Obama might secretly be a Muslim but there isn’t any dispute about him being an Arab. I love the fact that we have so many jackasses that don’t know the difference between an ethnicity/race and a religion. Arab does not = Muslim. McCain DID set the woman straight but he’s generally being a pussy, letting these hicks rant and rave at his events. Doesn’t he realize this will alienate a LOT of people, including supporters. I really don’t know what he’s thinking but the word NIGGER is being thrown around very loosely at these events and he still hasn’t publicly asked the supporters to cut it out.
PS - I saw part of an Obama speech on McNews Network today and Christ, it was awful. He wouldn’t shut the fuck up about pie. And then he thanked the Lord for making this beautiful day. But at least people didn’t chant any racial epithets.
a woman went to a hospital with chest pain, was given shocks and oxygen and declared dead. her husband was told she was dead. then someone at the morgue checked to see if she was breathing.. and she was.
a bunch of celebrities got together to try to convince the american public to register to vote. although i’m generally wary about campaigns like this, it is sponsored by a nonprofit organization, declare yourself.
A Sense of Urgency
Beati Paoli
2008 by, Andy “Danger” Ruble
Des Moines Band, Beati Paoli (pronounced BEE-ah-TEE POW-lee), don’t distinguish themselves by making stricktly pop rock, noise rock, or acid rock. Nor do they specifically make indie rock, art rock, or post punk rock. Beati Paoli manage to incorporate all of these styles of rock and roll, and probably a few not mentioned here, in the groups first full-length album, 2008’s “A Sense of Urgency”. Beati Paoli aren’t suffering from an identity crisis, however, they just seem to prefer their music this way. The crazy thing is that it works to a point of near perfection! The album is a cleverly woven listening experience to say the least.
“A Sense of Urgency” (track 2) is a good overall song to get the vibe of the album from a pop perspective. The song features some serious vintage sounding fuzz, and some great sing along style lyrics. For a more experimental indie feel of the band, “You are my Megalodon” (track 9) is a surefire winner with some stealthy and smart vocal work, a lengthy wavy-sounding intro, and a mishmash , noisy, outro.
In fact, “A Sense of Urgency” lives up to the albums title in as much as at times the music seems on the verge of complete musical meltdown. Portions of “Girl Friday”, “Vulgarity Drifting Diary” (track 5), and “You are my Megalodon” are good examples of this. However, listening to the way the band layers their sound and manages the possible perceived disorder, this meltdown is indeed a Beati Paoli controlled blast. The group manage to balance the tight wire act of musical experimentation and yet still retain the bands melodic sound. After a few listens of “A Sense of Urgency”, this chaos begins to look more and more orderly. What would be truly be chaotic were to be if Beati Paoli were to make strictly cookie-cutter pop songs, denying the listeners their abilities with the sound they display on this album!
You’ll enjoy “A Sense of Urgency” if you like:
the Strokes, the Killers, the Clash, Weezer, Radiohead, Beck, the Cure, the Pixies
“A Sense of Urgency” was produced by Beati Paoli, recorded at Smoking Guns Studio in Des Moines, and released the Beati Paolis newly launched label “the Noising Machine”. Beati Paoli are Gregory Goode, Ryan C. Meier, Scott O’Gara, and Cecil Skrdlant. The band has been together since 2005 and have toured the United States extensively.

Fans of Napoli, a team in Serie A (Italy’s top soccer league) rioted on a train ride to Rome for a big match. Now the government has banned Napoli fans from going to any away games. Huh!? How does that work? I mean, how do they look into your soul and know for sure that you’re a Napoli fan? Couldn’t the Napoli fans just wear clothes without Napoli logos or colors and just go to away games, regardless? How the fuck does this work?!
the snocap store doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, so the song hasn’t been uploaded there yet, but DON’T WORRY, we’ll upload it as soon as we can.
and in other, possibly more important, news…

So, here’s another article related to gun control… To cut murder rates in Brazil, the government is offering monetary compensation (~$60-185) and no questions asked for anyone that turns in a firearm. Other measures are being taken to reduce murders like increased sentencing for unlicensed guns. Annd four years previous, murder rates were cut by 12% due to similar measures.
Of course, I think this is a great idea, especially for a country with no second amendment.
