  • Field Theory: Though I never liked how…,

    The Feelers and "Right Here, Right Now" both have their merits, but putting them together is like serving a meal of mashed potatoes with mashed kumara. Where is the meat? Where is the sauce?

    Heh. So true.

  • Up Front: Who's Dreaming Now?,

    Lately when reading Stuff I have to double-check that I haven't gone to The Onion by mistake.

    I don't have that problem. The Onion could never come up with something as cuttingly satirical of life in the 21st century as this news story from today's Stuff.

  • Hard News: A revolting piece of shit,

    Real men don’t spread shit like this - it's not a game, and you're not some big-talking hero of the streets. Real people get hurt when attitudes like this are promoted as OK. They’re not.

    Good job, Sacha. I keep wanting to make a comment, but everytime I compose it in my head I'm forced reject it on the grounds of mild abusiveness. So, thanks.

    As a piece of fiction, how does that video differ from the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan, of which the main distinctive feature was the graphic depiction of death and mutilation:

    Seriously? You don't judge these things by square centimetres of gore per second. The meanings of the two are miles apart.

    from wiki: 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has used "Right Here, Right Now" as her campaign theme song. 1992 Democratic presidential candidate Jerry Brown used it as his campaign theme song.

    Also, K-mart and Steinlager.

    Right Here, Right Now

    So, who actaully made the decision? (This is an "official" RWC anthem, right?).

    "Plus, plus! Working is good for you! It'll keep 'em sharp, stop 'em getting all depressed and ill and shit..."

    I really hope someone gets her to say "Work will set you free.".

  • Hard News: A revolting piece of shit,

    The "Dirty Sesh" news manages to make the rumour of the Feelers covering "Right Here, Right Now" as the RWC theme tune seem like good music news in comparison.

    And that's quite an acheivement.

  • Hard News: A revolting piece of shit,

    I don't quite agree with you giving your review without having the link to the video. While I trust your judgement and you have undoubtably saved me from wasting my time in view such shite, I would think either review and link to it, or, don't review at all.

    Huh? The story's only link contained the vid, and made clear that it did. What's the problem?

  • Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),

    Speaking of Art...

    The 'papers are reporting "rumours" that the RWC theme song will be a cover of Jesus Jones' Right Here, Right Now , as performed by the Feelers.

    What was the brief? "Must be old, unoriginal, and unhip"?
