I'd like to tell you a tale of my love affair with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The story I'd like to tell you begins sometime in the late 80's when, upon reaching the age in which I first began to develop a real interest in popular music, someone played for me the album "Tender Prey" and I was a devoted Bad Seed from that point to this.

But that just wouldn't be true. This fact somehow makes me less legit among "hardcore" Nick Cave fans, but as always, I don't...

I'm not one to condone violence or to make light of brutality and murder, but the cynic in me smirked a bit upon reading this story:

To summarize for those of you who don't care to read the whole story, a mob of recently-laid off Indian workers. The workers had allegedly been trying to use their power of numbers to manipulate the running of the plant, and the plant was shut down because of it. When the...

The Day the Earth Didn't Blow Up

For those among you who do not feel your breath catch in your throat due to the awesomeness that overcomes you when I say "Watchmen", I offer you this link, and this movie.
