vegangirls:
I was going to make a post about cliché things vegans do, but my tofu started burning so I had to put down the letter I was writing to a political prisoner, turn off Earth Crisis, and pour some soymilk on the fire to put it out.

Full day producing
2pm to 10:41pm with brief breaks to eat and watch music documentaries. Got a whole track down vocals and all. Just needs to be polished. So happy to be creating again.

New album reviewed. Dubstep fans should check this one out. The article I posted last night talked about “bass and space” as opposed to “wobble and filth.” This is a perfect example of the positive tradition preserved.

New review up!
gershwintouchmusic:
Hip hop fans are well aware of the dichotomy between east coast and west coast rap, gangsta and “backpacker” or alternative hip hop and everyone has their own personal preference. Having entered the world of hip hop through a side door via the trip hop and glitch music scenes there is a particular…

Yo, I actually think there probably is an evolutionary basis for racism, it’s ultimately probably adaptive to have the capacity to hate things that don’t look like you.
BUT
There’s also an evolutionary basis for rape, murder, lying, stealing, polygamy, slavery, and pretty much all bad things caused by human action, and yet we don’t have huge swaths of the population trying to...
A Tom Waits-inspired cocktail menu →
Phoebe Esmon, the head bartender at The Farmers’ Cabinet, has created a cocktail list inspired by “Small Change,” the 1976 album by boozy, gravel-throated, Beatnik-inspired and Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter Tom Waits. Named after song lyrics — like “Battered Old Suitcase” and “The Barstools Are On Fire” — the list includes eight inventive cocktails.

Arguing with 17 year old athiests on facebook.
I am secure in my atheist views but when an atheist is ignorant it annoys me even more than when a Christian is ignorant. Having great respect for the concept and importance of religion and the bible as well as being opposed to it as well as being an atheist theology student can be hard sometimes but at least I have opportunities like this to piss off both the theists and the atheists at the same...

First review is up!
gershwintouchmusic:
I remember standing in the middle of the small crowd to see Mogwai at this years Splendour In The Grass. Chants of “fuck Kanye” could be heard from the outskirts coming from the mouths of those who were unaware they were to experience something incredible. The long terms fans looked on,…
