[less talk, more rock]

PROPAGANDHI's new album, Supporting Caste is so sublimely flawless that i had to write a blog about it

Propagandhi-Supporting Caste

Propagandhi is a punk/hardcore/'progressive thrash' band from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada notable for their staunchly leftist political views on a range of human and animal rights issues
Continuing their tradition of producing some of the finest gems in the game (1993's How To Clean Everything; 1996's Less Talk, More Rock; 2001's Today's Empire,Tomorrow's Ashes and 2005's Potemkin City Limits are still top of my deck), Supporing Caste is a sonically mind-bending, face-melting release from a band that have proven, yet again, that

they are still the most important band in punkrock.

"Supporting Caste: 12 new laments, reveries and extrapolations from 4
visibly-aging prairie skids who still cannot believe that of all the
gin joints in all the galaxies in all the universes, they had to be
born on this on"

Discography 1993-2005

Moshcam recorded the band recent set at Metro Theatre, Sydney. Checkout the entire show here

its only March, but this is a top contender for my album of the year

farewell

all the best to my favourite couple that is Faridz and Nana

If they ever make a patron of the flukey goal, they should call him San Filippo. If there is an art form in scoring with every part of the anatomy imaginable then he is its Leonardo. 

Love him or loathe him, the 300 goals of Pippo Inzaghi cant be ignored

Mr. 300 bagged a brace in 5-1 demolition of Siena last weekend

His facial contortions as he takes a tumble in the penalty box have become the stuff of legend. And his ability to be in the right place at the right time is so uncanny that even experts in
the paranormal are lost for an explanation.

In many ways, Super Pippo is a symbol of Italian football. Disliked,
reviled and generally belittled across Europe, he gets the job done (from channel4.com/football italia)

Thanx for the memories Pippo

friday the 13th: IRON MAIDEN live in dubai

continuation of stoke part 7

< Dubai rawk city

[friday 13-02-9002, Dubai Media City Amphitheatre]

British metal legend Iron Maiden arrived in Dubai, flying in aboard the band's customised Boeing 757 'Ed Force One' for a one-nite show here. Apparently Dubai was part of the venue of the 'Somewhere Back In Time' World Tour, which circumnavigate 19 cities in 11 countries.

The ‘Somewhere Back In Time’ Tour revisits the band’s history by focusing the setlist and and stageset performance almost entirely on the band's classic first 4 albums back in the 80’s, which was the epitome of their illustrious 30 years career

post-show

< Show ended so these 4 posers looked sad

With the clock closing in on midnight, fans and posers alike left the Dubai Media City
Amphitheatre with coarse voices, sore limbs and huge smiles for a night
they won’t soon forget

So makes Iron Maiden so special that they could last 30 years?
Some say it’s that driving bass played at
light speed, hard-hitting gallop rhythms with so many changes and the
twin lead guitars playing with heaviness and harmonies all sprinkled
with such thematic lyrics that convey the most vivid pictures in your
mind.

Supermodels are lonelier than you think

Most of today’s songs are about love, sex or how fine a girl is.  With Maiden, it’s about a man

contemplating his life as he waits for his execution, fear of the dark, war, historic battles, ghosts, nightmares, books, experiences, flying in WWII, Samuel Coleridge poems, religion, genetic technology, aliens, atom bomb, angels, demons, devil, life, brotherhood, historical characters and, yes, love as well. How could you ever get bored?
