1st post in 2010, new look.

No updates really, yet, though I did fix a few things up and changed the look. I think this is my favorite design so far.

In this thread: Bang head on keyboard, post results!

Safety is more important than fun, feelings are more important than facts

Great Bill Mahr quote someone recently sent me;

I would say that the feminine values are now the values of America; sensitivity is more important than truth; feelings are more important than facts; commitment is more important than individuality; children are more important than people; safety is more important than fun. I always hear women say, “Y’know, married men live longer.” Uh, yes, and an indoor cat…also…lives longer. It’s a fur-ball with a broken spirit that can only look out on a world it will never enjoy, but it does technically live longer.

Totally worth watching this video:

American culture, fairness, morality, womens lib…

(k)ubuntu / Amarok

So, switching to the new version of Kubuntu (9.04) was well worth it, extremely nice.  Down side is that you’ve also got to switch to the latest version of Amarok, which I was just starting to love, and now I hate it.  They’ve entirely ruined it. Made it uglier, removed any of the features I used except for the ones that they kept which don’t work anymore… It’s just an all around disaster and the alternatives…  Phew.  Wow.  Well I’ve changed over to just using qmmp now.  The up side being that qmmp streams ebm-radio.com’s OGG streams absolutely, perfectly, flawlessly; which I can’t say about many players on many operating systems – so, bonus there.

If anyone knows of any good way to cause deep emotional discomfort to the jerks making amarok; please do let me know.

I also see the average number of ogg listeners online at any given time are increasing.  I like to see that, people should really bother to listen to EBMR at that kind of quality level…

Assemblage 23 – Sorry

Such a great song…

I’m sorry I can’t bleed for you
The way you want me to
To throw myself against the rocks
The way I used to do 
I’m sorry that I can’t prolong
The pain I’ve been put through
I’m sorry, yes I’m sorry
So sorry
But not as sorry as you 

CHORUS
You wear your misery like a crown
You’re only happy when you’re down
And the saddest part is you don’t even know why
What are you lacking deep inside?
Depression as a point of pride
If you’re not careful the world is going to pass you by

I’m sorry I can’t always drown
In rivers of despair
A man forever broken by
A need for your repair 

I’m sorry if the things I said
Were somehow misconstrued
I’m sorry, yes I’m sorry
So sorry
But not as sorry as you 

(CHORUS) 

I’m sorry that my happiness
Isn’t to your taste
A pessimistic optimist
Who’s bound to be replaced 

I’m sorry I can’t grovel in
Emotions I outgrew
I’m sorry, yes I’m sorry
So sorry
But not as sorry as you 

(CHORUS)

You’ll heart it on EBM-Radio!
