Charlie Brooker

"...immigration, a subject so taboo in modern Britain that even fearless defenders of free speech such as the Mail and the Express only dare mention it in hushed capitals tucked away on the front page of every edition."

I love you Charlie Brooker.

Cinco de Mayo

So today I learned that Cinco de Mayo isn't really celebrated in Mexico so instead of some Mexican awesomeness here's some Mexican influenced awesomeness.

Americans!

I love this band so much!

Americans, a Spaniard, and one Mexican!

Alas not even Los Lobos are Mexican. Only Cesar Rosas was born there, the rest are from LA or Philadelphia :(

A Canadian and an American soundtracked by Germans!

This whole match is worth checking out. Its El Generico vs Delirious and its awesome! The song is 'Te Quiero Puta' by Rammstein; is there anything these guys can't do?

May The Fourth Be With You

Unapologetic geekery.

Diffing the Skyline

My life could have been so much different if i'd never discovered rock 'n' roll.

More dreams about rock 'n' roll.

Two nights ago it was Johnny Cash, last night it was The Reverend Horton Heat. Seems like a good enough reason to post this:



I saw the Reverend in London once playing a white and gold Gretsch while wearing a white suit with gold trim, white and gold wing tip shoes, and a white hat with gold band. You have to love a man who co-ordinates his outfit with his guitar. Oh, and he played a song for me just to shut me up. Sorry 'bout that Rev.

Rainey

So we decided that our 100th fan on Facebook would get some kind of prize. Unfortunately we had no idea what the prize would be so we figured we'd play it by ear and see who the 'lucky' winner was. Well, as it turned out our 100th fan was Graham Rainey one time guitarist for Los Cabras and The Snake Charmers. Still had no idea what the prize would be but then it hit me! A Song!! Thats what we do anyway right? So it was decided that we would name a song after Graham. Lo and behold one practice later and we have a song called Rainey. I think i'm gonna call in that favour Rocky from Malibu Shark Attack! owes me and get him to do the lyrics for it. Double prize whammy!!

Anyway, that's what happened in practice tonight.

Oh, and that's Graham.

There's never a reason needed to post something like this!!

Awesome!
