I finally found the CD that Adrian Bond gave me when I was in Annapolis. Quite frankly, it rocks. But this is not rock—it’s ambient drum and bass, which makes me think of cool environments, hip clubs, euro-freaks and hot-stepping, big-jeaned youngsters gettin’ jiggy while thinking about communism.
I suggest that you go check [...]

I don’t really care too much this—some film auditions for Bin Laden look-alikes held on September 11th by some Euro-wank B-movie director.
It’s a publicity stunt—big deal. Insensitve? Sure, but I’m not offended. But this is what offends me:

According to Fuckedcompany.com, Answerthink has instituted a dresscode reminiscent of Ross Perot EDS days or old school Anderson.

Detroit/Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor trip was a great time. We managed to eat some amazing Middle Eastern food (Detroit has the highest Arab population of any U.S. city, I believe), visit with some ofmy wife’s family and witness a supreme rock spectacle.
Christ Puncher, from Ypsilanti, rocked the Blind Pig like a hurricane—truly an event one needs [...]
