Funny you should mention rammstein, the first track i did 3 years ago that was almost of the style i am doing now(with a movie/massive attack feel type addition) was called 'rammstein sounding piece'. But my riffs are more u2 than rammstein. In fact, it has some riffs for that matter. I give up. I cannot pinpoint my style.
Yeah, i must say i enjoyed little britain for that, making fun of the different type of britts. Classic show. I think i am the only south african that knows it. But i was lucky that a friend got the dvd and i lent it for a while. He moved back to uk a year or two ago. Coming to visit sunday. His sister is getting married, so they are all flying in for that. His brother in law used to play in benjamin gate, another sa band that made it in the us, but few south africans knew them. They broke up when the vocalist married jeremy camp, another big musician. Benjamin gate and tree63 were quite close, being two sa bands in the us.

It is amazing how i can fly between subjects when i write...from one topic to the next in few words.
So i was the big poster for the day i suppose. I blame it on boredom. If i am bored i start writing a lot of crap.
@ psycho, yeah, bi-polar people are quite tough. Despite their usually higher intelligence they are way too emotional. This particular girl was on the brink of either murder, suicide or a nervous breakdown, or a mixture of the three. I am getting good with dealing with her: in fact, had a rather fun evening in the end. I force her into having a fun evening, and have all the serious talk in between. Works well with her. But yeah, you are right about not knowing what little things do to people like that.
Time for bed.

Oi, don't tell me everybody's sleeping already? Fine geeks we're turning out to be LOL!
I love the early stuff which Rowan Atkinson did, in particular the stand-up stuff... I recall one clip which i saw, in which he's all dressed up as the devil, resplendent in horns, a cape and a cigar... He pokes fun at all the major religions, including the legal fraternity  Well worth a watch, if you can find it.
If it's a good laugh with local flavour which you're after, try watching the screenings of the circus which is the S.A. Parliament! Man, those dudes really know how to put each other down! This mini-drama surrounding the-house-that-Thabo-built really has me in stitches! Poor Douglas Gibson had his hands full trying to convince Parliament that he'd never invaded anybody's privacy, let alone laid foot upon the property concerned.
Ja well no fine, at least we can't claim that we're not being entertained
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |

As far as epic movies go, I'd definitely have to rate Steven Speilbergs "Empire of the Sun". Christian Bale has gone on to become one of my fave modern day actors, along with Edward Norton, Gary Oldman ad Hugh Jackman (all chameleons)
Although actors by todays standards can't touch the old guys. Jack Lemmon in "The Apartment", Gene Kelly and Donald 'o Conner in "Singing in the Rain". Heck even Russ Tamblins performances is "Tom Thumb", "West Side Story" and "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". All capable of the physical as well as mental aspects of acting.
As far as books are concerned, I've always enjoyed the J.R.R. Tolkien & C.S. Lewis christian classics. But then I was raised on that stuff. But I find myself more inclined to books like Bruce Lee's "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" and older stuff such as "The Art of War" and a Book of Five Rings".
Although I did not respect Douglas Adams' religious nor scientiic stand points, I always enjoyed his humour in is books. So sharp witted if you blinked you missed it.
I was raised on music though. My dad always tested me. Everybody always said stuff like "Paul Mccartney was the only left handed beatle", and yet I know that he only played bass left handed... for everything else he used his right. Whereas Ringo played right, but was left handed.
What were we talking about?

Strangely enough, I might have the art of war as a txt file on my home pc. If that will suffice I will look.
Other than that, I usually have my books impoted by a good book store. |
