party's getting rough in Tripoli: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44218013/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/?gt1=43001#.TlGIfl3ayus

^ exactly! anyway, moving on...I've never even seen this movie, but these two are one of my fave film couples, if only because they should be a couple in real life:

hahahahahahahaha, there's actually video! :D

the battle for Tripoli is on; rebels closing in from east and west. fighting within the city limits. unconfirmed rumours that Gadhafi has fled the country. again, unconfirmed. oh, and I heard on the BBC World Service last night that the Turkish government is thinking of sending in their military to take out the Assad regime in neighboring Syria. that was 15 hours ago - I've heard nothing on the matter since.

the original lineup of X has reformed; they're playing this year's Voodoo Experience Festival in late October. http://voodoo.dostuff.info/ after that, they'll be opening for Pearl Jam on their South American and Central American tour dates. keep fingers crossed for X to do a full US tour! :D

Daphne and Velma

if I went to that school, I'd so start dealing cupcakes. [/newjackhustla]

seen Tori Amos lately?

Katt Williams' The Pimp Chronicles. as far as movies, Kung Fu Hustle is insanely funny.

amazing video here - most of the instruments are pre-synth, but there's some cool old-skool synthage to be had. Cool to see 360 Systems and RMI represented. :D In case you're curious, the RMI featured a sort of card reader; you either filled in little squares or punched holes (don't remember which) to "draw" the waveform you wanted, and the RMI would read the waveform and create it. Its 2 most famous users were Rick Wakeman (on his 2nd go-round with Yes) and Roger Powell, who used one both with David Bowie and with Utopia.
