This will be...interesting

This is going to be a weird one. 
Firstly the temp is going to hit 40 today and I am heading off to Melbourne's Big Day Out and as long as I manage to avoid Tool and Rammstein I should be fine. Looking forward to Primal Scream, Stooges, Grinderman etc. The only problem is that I had my appendix removed on Wednesday and to say that I am still fairly sore would be a little bit of an understatement!
But hey...you gotta do what you gotta do!

Huh? Stephen Hadley says a putsch by the Muslim Brotherhood is one of two likely options if Egypt defends into chaos

♪♫ Mutamassik - Take The Hit


Mutamassik (meaning “stronghold” and “tenacity” in Arabic) is the nom de tune of Giulia Lolli, a half-Italian/half-Egyptian composer and DJ with a background that’s reflected in her splintered internationalist musical style. Born in Italy and raised in the American Rustbelt, Lolli went to New York City in time to swoop quickly in and out of the illbient scene of the mid-‘90s before heading out to Cairo, and finally landing up in what she terms a “CAVEmen-style” existence with her husband, Brooklyn guitarist Morgan Craft, and child in Tuscany. Lolli has described her music as “Sa’aidi Hardcore & Baladi Breakbeats: Egyptian & Afro-Asiatic Roots mixed with the head-nod of hip-hop & the bass and syncopation of hardstep.” (The term “Sa’aidi” can refer to people of Upper [central-eastern] Egypt, and can also be interpreted as “ascending”; “Baladi” refers to traditional, oft-rural Arabic folk music.)
