Wow

Are you following all these torture revelations going on in Washington right now? The whole Khalid-Sheikh-Mohammed-waterboarded-183-times-in-a-month-and-then-oh-surprise-he-admitted-to-planning-all-of-911 stuff? Here's another great addition: the torture tactics they approved were taken from a training program to give soldiers a taste of how they could potentially be treated by enemy combatants if they became POWs. The kicker is that, apparently, nobody at the top tried to investigate one step further and ask, well, where did the military get these tactics in the first place? Turns out they were "a sample of the torture methods used by Communists in the Korean War, methods that had wrung false confessions from Americans."

It took about 50 years for America to literally become it's own worst enemy, complete with utter blindness to the results of their own actions. Unbelievable. How the fuck did Bush not get impeached? The man is a war criminal.

Oh ya

New Lindstromm & Prins Thomas album!!
Also Prins Thomas - Live @ Robert Johnson mix
Meanderthals - Desire Lines <--super balearicish, actually all three of the above should be
A-Trak - Infinity + 1 <--could be good party mix, could be horrible blog-house

I have not bought or downloaded any new music in a least a month! Well except for RA podcasts...that Culoe de Song one was pretty good. But really! Stupid moving has thrown me way off.

Also to check

Was just listening to this song, that I got from, I believe, the DJHistory forum's "Top 25 Balearic Tunes" list, and I was pretty excited to discover she had an album back in '88, so let's add Mandy Smith - Mandy to the list of albums I should check. But more importantly, have you seen the outfit she's wearing on that record cover?? It's INCREDIBLE! Gigantic tasseled shoulderpads and no pants is totally a boss look.

OH NOES MAN EATING LOBSTERS!!

Ok let's start this game again: Music to check

Pheonix - Wolfgang Amadeus Pheonix --could be annoying over-compressed indie-electro, could be very enjoyable dancey pop
Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come --it's got Happy House on it, what more is there to say?
Kris Menace-Idiosyncrasies --should be hella dope big room electro-house
Was gonna say the new royksopp but thankfully dan has that now! So there's that issue fixed.

Damn, as always, I could have sworn that there was more but I just can't remember.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

Anyway, posts have been thin on the ground here recently, which I would excuse because I've been doing moving related things, but then I realized that I post most while at work so this story hardly holds now doesn't it? I guess work has been busy too. How lame are those excuses? It is very, very easy to move through time.

(ps. no man eating lobsters were hurt in the writing of this post, except for OH GOD NO IT'S TRYING TO EAT ME DIE DIE DIE YOU SLAVERING CRUSACEOID HORROR!!!)
