Amazing!

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry, Mogens Camre an MEP for the Danish People’s Party gave an interview with the French radio station, RFI. He states that easterneuropean politicians shouldn’t be aloved influence because their societies are “backwards and old fashioned”… He seems to have a knack for immensely stupid statements, perhaps someone should consider his influence?

From rfi.fr:

“When I look at the voting rules, I see that countries like Romania and Bulgaria have many more votes than Denmark and Sweden and Finland, and I think – honestly speaking – that we are more clever than they are,” Camre, who is  a member of Denmark’s ruling coalition People’s Party, said.

If he had been resembling, just slightly, a normal person I would have been ashamed to be from the same nation as him, but this is laughable…

My morningread of pol.dk sparked this little…rant…

Sci-fi and pen and paper…

Went to see Star Trek tonight with a very good friend. Besides from the movie beeing great and talking about that, we talked about books, sci-fi books, wich we both have a weeknes for.

Hammilton, Herbert, Elizabeth Moon or Kevin J. Anderson… uhm I like it!

Peter, my friend with whom I was watching Star Trek, told me that he had just read Starship Troopers. Well, I’ve updated mu wishlist (again). I need that book. Buy me gifts!

The real thing

The rumors are indeed true, this is some of the best news I have had for a while!

Faith no more are back together 🙂 This is stolen from fnm.com :

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat—its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we’ve experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What’s changed is that this year, for the first time, we’ve all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we’ve discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.

Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we’ve decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff….
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up…only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton
