Human after all...

Not quite sure what all the fuss is about as a quick google image search brings up numerous pics of Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo without their helmets on...

A Most American Way to Die

Welcome To Hell

Ad Break: Hmmm?

Considering South Australia's reputation for grisly murders I'm really not sure that whichever little ad wanker thought this one up had really listened to the lyrics. 'Be consumed' indeed!

Does Nick Cave’s gothic chant sell the Barossa?

The spy who came in for your soul

Boundless Informant: the NSA's secret tool to track global surveillance data

RIP: ARTURO VEGA: 1948-2013 Sleep gently my dear friend, you were the must optimistic, jubilant and fun pal anyone could wish for. I don't know what the world will be like without, nor do I want to even imagine it... But I know you will find eternal happiness wherever you end up....I love you Arturo. - Legs McNeil

Arturo on The Ramones

I saw them as the ultimate all-American band. To me, they reflected the American character in general — an almost childish innocent aggression… I thought, ‘The Great Seal of the President of the United States’ would be perfect for the Ramones, with the eagle holding arrows — to symbolize strength and the aggression that would be used against whomever dares to attack us — and an olive branch, offered to those who want to be friendly. But we decided to change it a little bit. Instead of the olive branch, we had an apple tree branch, since the Ramones were American as apple pie. And since Johnny was such a baseball fanatic, we had the eagle hold a baseball bat instead of the arrows.
