Fight the Power

Twenty one years ago 'Fight the Power' by Public Enemy was released. It's just as relevant today as it was then as every government in the world still needs to be put in its place by the people. For example, today in Belfast there is a protest against the 'Public Assemblies Bill'. Essentially this bill proposes that any public gathering with more than 50 people must request permission at least 37 days beforehand. If this law existed last year, the protest outside City Hall in reaction to the renewed violence of the CIRA would have been an illegal protest. The protest in support of immigrants who were being forced out of their homes would have been illegal. There are people who can word this better. Like Chuck D and Flava Flav.



 Stand up and tell the world we don't want fascist, draconian laws. Fight the power people.

Evel

I was asked tonight what We Want Blood sound like and why we have no recordings on this here blog yet. Well the simple answer is because we don't have any recordings. But to give you a taste of what We Want Blood are like, here's a clip which I feel sums us up nicely.

A Haiku about Bruce Willis

I recently read this book.

It is spectacular. It briefly got me into haikus before something else came along to distract me. During the week or so I was having a love affair with the haiku I discovered I was quite adapt at creating a haiku. While bragging about this at length and great volume to anyone who would listen I was inevitably challenged to do a haiku. About Bruce Willis. So I did. Here it is.

Die Hard 4.0
Where did it all go so wrong?
Bruce, you sold out dude.

See, told you I was good at them.

Stag Do!

A while back Mr wonderful and myself played in a band called Saint Dude's (although if you're reading this you probably know that already) with a little man called James Heaney. Well James is getting married soon and tomorrow (well, in six hours) i'm going to his stag do! Its only the second one i've been to but I imagine it'll be something like this.

I can't wait!!

Professor Poliakoff

Look up 'mad scientist' in your picture dictionary and there'll be a picture of this guy.

He's Professor Martyn Poliakoff and he reckons the Worlds Cup trophy isn't solid gold at all!! He isn't very interested in football but is so spiteful that when he isn't stealing Phil Spector's court wig he's spends his time researching the break-down of the trophy just to rub it in our faces that it isn't real. Up yours professor!

In his defense though he does say many awesome things such as:
"a big waste of gold" - as clearly gold is often used in a productive way;
"I think - and I have no means of knowing..." - you have to love a scientist who just makes stuff up;
"according to my calculations" - lets be honest, that's what every mad scientist should say at the start of every sentence.

So Professor Martyn Polikoff,  while I'm not happy that you're having a go at the Worlds Cup trophy and trying to ruin lil' Diego's dreams, I still take my hat off to you as you are clearly bonkers, will probably one day rule us all, and you have way too much time on your hands. Your giant, giant hands.

Argentina vs Nigeria

Here's what i've noticed during the first half of Argentina vs Nigeria.
- Diego Maradona looks very professional in his wee suit and tiny, tiny shoes
- I can't help but wonder if someone died in that suit
- Nigerians speak English as I saw one fella clearly mouth the words 'fuck sake' in English
- Some fella got one right in the crigs, or else he felt very tense and decided to have a wee tug in the middle of the pitch as he didn't seem to get hit in the crigs
- Messi and Shittu... there's a joke there somewhere

That's all and now I have to go to work so no more interesting things i've noticed.
