Сижу работаю, слушаю концерт Аквариума в театре на Таганке. Не кастрированную версию, что вышла на компакте, а именно весь концерт А. в театре на Таганке, 24.12.1985.

Note to self: скачать все концертные записи А. с Куссулем. Наше всё.

Чудесная, совершенно незаменимая гитарная примочка Metasonix TX-1 Vacuum Tube AGONIZER:
There’s just no explaining it. It’s not a damn fuzzbox, it’s not a tube-amp simulator, and it’s not the slightest bit like anything else you’ve ever seen / heard. Think of the TX-1 Agonizer as a magical 1965-era industrial-music sonic reducer. It screws everything down to a nice, crunchy sonic pureè with aluminum shavings and broken glass mixed in. Yum. Please understand, it’s not a nice, sweet, well-behaved pussy-pussy “vintage tone” effect. You simply can’t get a simulation of a Fender Super Reverb out of this horrible yellow box. Trust us. If you're another one of those little obedient, cowardly, sniveling "tone lovers", the TX-1 is not for you to snivel over, so don't buy one. And if you worship METALLICA, perhaps you should buy some nice pink fairy wings instead of a TX-1.

So get rid of your Commodore 64 and your Michael Jackson condom collection, and feel the ultimate sonic horror of the 21st century. It sucks. It hates you. It ruins your property values and causes your condominium association's attorney to send you unfriendly letters. It keys your nice new Lexus LS. It will cause your mama to slap you into next week. Your friends will disown you when they hear your old Culture Club albums through it. It even makes Boy George sound like Throbbing Gristle. (Well, okay, a big gay Throbbing Gristle.) We suspect that George won't like the TX-1 because it's not gay enough. Personally, we feel that any gay artist (other than George) will enjoy the TX-1 just fine, provided the artist in question hates the condominium association and does bizarre things with hamsters. Yep, it's right up your perverted alley, DUDE MAN.

The Onion

The Onion, как и всегда, отражает окружающую реальность намного объективнее, чем это делают "официальные" СМИ.
U.S. To Fight Terror With Terror

"It's vital to remember that these terrorists hate freedom," Rumsfeld said. "Well, guess what? From now on, we're going to hate it even more. Do you think terrorists care about due process and fair treatment of prisoners? Of course not. Why should we give them the upper hand? You fight fire with fire."

Cheney restated that the goal of the new policy is to put an end to terror around the world, once and for all.

"It's time to get this war over with," Cheney said. "The philosopher Eric Hoffer said, 'You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.' Well, we've been observing, but finally we've started taking notes. We'll have these terrorists running scared in no time."

Cheney urged Americans to "be on alert" in upcoming months.

"Seneca once said, 'To be feared is to fear: No one has been able to strike terror into others and at the same time enjoy peace of mind,'" Cheney said. "If we want these terrorists to fear the U.S., we as a people need to be filled with fear. Expect to see more heavily armed, uniformed officers, both at home and abroad."
Бросьте читать NYT, Time, Washington Post, прекратите смотреть CNN. Вас зомбируют. Все "официальные" газеты и журналы нужно спустить в сортир, а зомбоящик раскурочить нафиг или, там, выкинуть в какое-нибудь похабное место. А нужно читать один лишь The Onion, пять раз в день. Это чрезвычайно важно.

Иначе каюк.

Морриссей решил попробовать себя в образе проповедника-евангелиста:
"... I certainly think Britney Spears is the devil. The way she projects herself and the fact that she is so obviously vacuous. I think it's such a shame that she became so influential to very small children."
О как! Совершенно не узнать певца про коматозных подружек. Не Морриссей, а прямо Коттон Мэзер какой-то. "Verily I say unto thee:

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE"

И никак иначе.
