it doesn’t matter what you know if you don’t care – jack kemp

I really haye scaremongering. People devoid of a clue telling people the dangers of something and not knowing what they’re talking about. Scaring people into believing that before they do anything they have to consult this person – A self appointed authority.

Wankers.

The Roots – Seed 2.0

I love this song. The Roots – Seed 2.0 , its a fab song about this guy that wants to impregnate as many women as possible to keep his legend alive.

I just like good guitar rock mixed with black singers. This tune works so so well. I wish there was more of this type of music. The only other band I remember like this was In Living Colour. Terence Trent Darby kind of did it for a while too. Soul singers and guitar music go so well together. Solomon Burke does it too but he is more along the lines of the old guys like BB King. This song is taking the guitards and the fantastic voice of Cody Chestnut and using modern lyrics.

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked cause I’ve takin my test
Deliverin’ Mary it don’t matter the sex
I’m gonna name it rock’n roll.

‘and they asked me which heads should fall, and the harbour fell quiet as i answered ‘all’. ‘ – This is a line from a song in a Bertolt brecht’s thrupenny opera called “pirate jenny”.

Seems like a Nick Cave song. Read about it in new reviews for Lars Von Tiers film Dogville. Seems like a very interesting movie.

Snow Patrol – Run

Tuesday, February 10th, 2004

Great song, great band. Looks like they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Reindeer Section is a side project for this band too. Pissed off I missed them play Cork a while back. Read these lyrics:

I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all i’ve done.

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear.

My brain is turning to mush. I’ve not learned anything in a long time in my employment. What knowledge I had going in to the job is evaporating.

Gonna fix that though. Hurrah.

Apocalypse Now

Monday, February 9th, 2004

We left the camp after we had innoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every innoculated arm. There they were in a pile… A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried… I wept like some grandmother

and another

Damien asleep

Micheál took this as we got the train back to Cork from Dublin last year. That was a really lovely weekend. The image was renamed on the phone to “at my most beautiful”. How sweet.

Whos a pretty boy then ?

Anthropology

Sunday, February 8th, 2004

Anthropology is the study of origins of human beings and their cultures worldwide. In addition to documenting a particular culture, anthropologists are interested in how and why human culture changes. The science of anthropology is divided into several subfields including physical anthropology, the study of the origins and development of human beings; cultural anthropology, the study of human culture or the means by which human beings sustain life; linguistics, the study of human language; and archaeology, the study of human life based primarily on the recovery of artifacts, objects made and/or used by human beings.

Social anthropology – the branch of anthropology that deals with human culture and society

An area that has my interest of late.
