You know almost everyone out there is reporting only the negative things about "Sh*tstorm '09", but I guess there are a few silver linings like this from CNN.com. One of their headlines this week read Illegal Immigrant: "I can't make it here in U.S.". I had no choice but to read it. I was quickly disappointed when I read the first line:"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream."Yep, CNN like the rest of the bleeding heart liberals think this is a sad thing. Boo f*cking Hoo, Pedro can't find work in America so now he has to go back home. He shouldn't have f*cking been here in the first place.Let me back track. I am not against immigrants coming to America. I really am not. Let them come, but let them come legally. There is a pathway, and if it weren't for all the illegals coming in, the legal pathway wouldn't take nearly as long as it does now. Come in with legal documents, find work, pay taxes, contribute to our society and the building up of America. Raise your family by the fruits of your own labors. That is the American dream. The American dream is not sneaking into the country, buying illegal documents, working for slave wages, avoiding INS agents, and sending every frick'n dime of your money to some other country. That is not the dream. That is not the answer. That doesn't help anyone. It doesn't help the immigrant. It doesn't help his family and it sure as sh*t doesn't help America.The gist of the story is there isn't even day-labor jobs for illegals anymore. That is how bad "Sh*tstorm '09" has gotten. I'm really surprised there wasn't something in the new stimulus package to address this concern that would help these continue to rape our country.Pedro Pablo, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, headed home recently due to the bad U.S. economy. "I left my family and lost four years with them. I will ask them to forgive me," he said.

Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who came to the United States to support his wife and five sons back home. When he arrived, construction jobs were plentiful. Over the last year, he says, he's worked three days.He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. "I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming."Well Pedro I regret that you came also, and I really hope your family doesn't forgive you. You sir our a frick'n loser. You are the very epitome of a sorry sack of sh*t."America's economic boom during the 1990s and 2000s created a high demand of day workers needed for anything from building homes to picking fruit and from working at slaughterhouses to working as nannies. Many of those jobs have since evaporated, resulting in more and more people -- immigrants and native-born Americans -- flooding day labor job sites and standing on street corners in search of any type of work they can get."So like ants or cochroaches or flies, they come here, pick us over and when there's no more left, the flee back to their holes. Nice."Steven Camarota with the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank that seeks a "pro-immigrant, low-immigration vision," said Census data indicate that more than 1 million illegal immigrants left last year, a departure that began even before the nation's economy took a turn for the worse toward the end of the year.He said better border enforcement and workplace raids on illegal immigrants "let people know that the immigration law was back in business."With illegal immigrants returning home, he said, "It's certainly good for two groups: taxpayers and less educated natives."Erik Camayd-Freixas, a professor at Florida International University who has served as an immigration court interpreter for two decades, said, "The truth of the matter is, despite our 7.6 percent unemployment, most Americans are not going to do those jobs that migrant workers do. They're certainly not going to pick tomatoes, grapefruits and oranges."BULLSH*T. This line of reasoning is the dumbest horsecrap ever. Who came up with this? Who actually believes this? Americans will do those jobs except they don't even pay minimum wage and they're not available. That's because of all the illegal scum bags that are willling to do it for less than minimum wage and farmers and companies are willing to hire them in order to save money.So yes, there's a lot of blame to place on those companies and private parties that hire illegals. They don't get a free pass from me. But as far as what American's are and are not willing to do - well I got 3 teenagers that will do just about anything to earn money for college. And for each of ours teenagers, they have 4 or 5 friends that are also willing to do any of those jobs, and they all know people who are willing to do those jobs. There isn't a job that needs to be done, that we are unwilling to do, so stop feeding me that bullsh*t about illegals doing jobs that American's are unwilling to do. That's crap. Erik, you're a sorry sack of sh*t too."Camarota disagrees with Freixas. He said Americans most likely to compete for day labor jobs -- those with a high school degree or less (the teenagers I was just talking about) -- are currently unemployed at an astounding rate of about 15 percent. "It's very hard to argue that we're desperately short of unskilled workers," he said."That's why my cousins can't even get a job at McDonalds right now. My younger cousin recently worked for the uncle of one of his friends. This guy owns a restaurant and was moving into a smaller location to save money on rent. At the end of the day, my cousin asked him if he could hire him as a server. The man said, "A year ago, I would have hired you on the spot. You're one of the hardest working kids I've ever seen. But I've got a stack of applications an inch thick to fill one server job. Most of those applicants are college educated adults with families they're trying to support. Two of them have Masters degrees. I'm afraid I have to chose someone with kids over you."So I say to all you illegal immigrants. Stop stealing jobs from our kids. Go home. Stop stealing our children's opportunities. Go home. Stop stealing the American Dream from our kids. Go home. Stop f*cking with our kid's plans for college. GO THE F*CK HOME.The final word from Pedro was: "I can't make it here. If I have to suffer, it's better to suffer in Guatemala with my family." I agree. Go suffer with your family. Pedro I hereby crown you "Sorry Sack of Sh*t" and I hope you get home to find out that your wife has been f*cking the landlord in exchange for rent, and that your daughter is prostituting herself for food, and it's because you are a miserable failure.OK, maybe I don't really mean that, but I am glad he's leaving

LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD - OJO DE AGUA MX 1994 TESTIMONIO

Posted by Lady Newell & Friends on February 18, 2009 at 3:23am

LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD/STONEHENGE BOOKS/ MEXICO/LADYNEWELL&FRIENDS Queridos friends: Finalmente, estamos publicando LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD en STONEHENGE BOOKS – edición mexicana. Y como estoy tan pero tan contenta ¡! happy girl ¡! quiero compartir con uds “my amazing experience” de ver por primera vez en mi vida a RADIOHEAD. A continuación posteo mi testimonio: RADIOHEAD/OJO DE AGUA/MEXICO 1994 Están cerrando el Museo de Antropología pero me demoro unos minutos en la sala Oaxaca, observando extasiada la copa del colibrí, una delicada vasija de cerámica en donde antiguamente bebía el pueblo de las nubes. Cuando salgo al parque ya se ha hecho de noche. El cielo parece de cemento y una llovizna pastosa acentúa aún más el verde ceniciento de la arboleda. Camino rápido rumbo a la estación Chapultepec. Temo darme nuevamente una perdida en ciudad de México. Ingreso al metro, estoy cansada, el ambiente está denso, hay mucha gente, cuerpo contra cuerpo, nadie se mira. Todos tienen miedo. Más tarde me reúno con mis amigos porque planeamos lanzarnos al amanecer por la carretera México Pachuca rumbo a las grutas. Me prometen que la experiencia con los hongos es fabulosa, el camino desértico y que desde las montañas brotan fuentes de aguas purificadoras. Viajamos muchas horas hasta llegar a una zona de bosques, acampamos cerca de un arroyo. Mientras el frasco de jalea con los extraños hongos pasa de mano en mano, un amigo ensaya en la guitarra un tema de Nirvana. Más tarde, nos bañamos en una cascada fosforescente pero yo estoy asustada. Retomamos el camino y al atardecer entramos a un pueblo. Nos esperaban en una cabaña y allí me entero que no soy la única extranjera recién llegada a Ojo de Agua. Me cuentan que hace unas horas también llegó una banda británica y me preguntan si los conozco. Pero la verdad es que en 1994 no escuchaba a Radiohead, podría decirse que casi ni los conocía. La noche nos encuentra entre cantinas y bares. A tiros de tequila y botellas de cerveza matábamos el tiempo antes del show. Tengo la impresión que todos me miran e intento en vano tranquilizarme pensando que no soy la única inglesa en el lugar. Quiero volver a la cabaña pero no me animo a caminar sola. Decido seguir junto a mis amigos, no importa adonde vayan. Cuando llegamos, el show ya había empezado. El lugar era sórdido, íntimo y asfixiante. La gente se apretujaba junto al escenario y no daba la impresión de que conociesen demasiado a la banda. Yo observaba, intuyendo la extrañeza de la escena. A medida que el show avanzaba, la música iba cobrando intensidad. Y si en los primeros temas todavía me permitía unos instantes de distracción, luego ya no me fue posible mantener el control. En algún momento quedé totalmente capturada: Radiohead sonaba crudo. Me acerqué y vi de frente la colosal presencia de Ed O´Brien dominándolo todo. Un poco más atrás, entre los bafles, Colin Greenwood parecía disfrutar tocando el bajo. A Phil Selway no lograba verlo bien pero su dramática batería marcaba el ritmo con perturbadora discreción. En el rincón derecho, Jonny Greenwood aferrado a la guitarra experimentaba con teclados y escondía la cara bajo su negra melena. Y en medio, dando vueltas psicóticas por el escenario, Thom Yorke cantaba Creep haciendo aullar al público. En aquella legendaria performance de Creep, Thom todavía conservaba la furia adolescente. En aquella legendaria performance de Creep, Thom reclamaba con la urgencia del amante. En aquella legendaria performance de Creep, Thom parecía un Romeo despechado. La canción terminó pero el griterío no cesaba. El público enardecido pedía que la volvieran a tocar. Finalmente y después de una larga espera Thom salió a escena. Parecía harto de todo, decidido a desquiciar el morbo de sus fans. Si el patetismo confesional de la primera versión nos había conmocionado, ahora el bis sería tan bizarro como un karaoke. De pronto, miró rabioso al público, se adelantó hasta el borde del escenario y una sucia luz mostaza le cayó sobre el cuerpo transpirado. Ocultaba una mano entre sus piernas y con la otra se levantaba la camiseta de un modo tan obsceno como maníaco. Permanecía quieto, con la espalda doblada, gozando el rechazo sexual en medio de súplicas e insultos. Estaba asustado y jadeaba como un animal en celo. Mientras tanto, la esquelética silueta de Jonny Greenwood se movía frenéticamente y tocando la guitarra con un brazo lesionado desgarraba la canción a golpes de acordes muertos. Entonces, la sala explotó y Thom por fin se sintió integrado. Aquella primera vez que vi a Radiohead en México fue decisiva. Todavía hoy, tantos años después, no logro comprender del todo qué fue lo que pasó. Lo único que puedo afirmar es aquella legendaria performance me provocó una potente interpelación psíquica como si la mente perturbada de Thom Yorke me contagiara su espantosa lucidez, su siniestra belleza, su honestidad emocional. No deja tampoco de inquietarme que una vez más el sincrodestino trace el recorrido y que nuestra publicación mexicana de LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD en Stonehenge Books, coincida con el retorno de Radiohead a México. Es como si el tiempo no hubiese pasado, como si yo todavía estuviese allí, junto al escenario, viendo la performance en Ojo de Agua. La misteriosa conexión se instaló y ya nunca más pude parar. Una nueva adicción se agregó a mi larga lista de excesos. Radiohead colonizó mi psiquis y empezó a provocar una compulsión por la escritura. En parte así surgió LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD. Ahora lo estamos publicando en México, gracias a la valentía de Hamlet, el espectral editor de Stonehenge Books. Totalmente convencido de que el espíritu de Edgar Alan Poe lo guía, Hamlet se entrega al vicio supremo de la literatura y cobra coraje vaciando copas de ajenjo para animarse a encarar la delirante empresa de publicar este libro. Como siempre hemos contado con el estilo inigualable de Roger Dean Disciple, quien diseñó un arte de tapa tan vintage que el libro parece sacado de la sección de cuentos de hadas victorianos de la British Library. Además, esta vez, el don de las Hadas de Avalon ha dejado su sutil encantamiento en algunas de las páginas. Realmente yo estoy super contenta porque el librito quedó precioso ¡!! En fin, mis queridos friends, LOUP TRADUCIENDO RADIOHEAD está a la venta en las librerías mexicanas y la verdad es que me encantaría que lo lean.

Looking for insight

Posted by PrttyBrd on February 17, 2009 at 7:24am

How do we teach manners in a disrespectful and thankless society? We grew up learning "Do unto others...". But that only works well when others comply and compliance has never been society's strong suit. Generally speaking, children are sensitive, more so than adults anyway. So when you explain "Do unto others..." to your ten year old, you have to put in the stipulation that it doesn't matter what anyone else does or says in response to you, that the actions of others do not reflect on you, that you can only do what is right for you. Yet, in doing that, do we lose the ability to teach compassion and empathy for others? Is being polite and having any manners really that overrated? If we are teaching our kids to treat others like they would want to be treated, then when they say "good morning" and are answered with "Fuck You", should our kids then approach them the next morning with a smile and a bigger "Fuck You" since presumably that is how they want to be treated? Then again, FU is not in the good manners handbook, so they should not be saying it anyway (at least not at 10 yrs old).How are we to mend hurt feelings and build thicker skins while rearing our children to be polite and respectful and still encouraging them to do their best in all their endeavors? Sometimes it just feels, in this day and age, that everything good is wrong. So when others teach their children to push yours down and step on them to move ahead, how are we supposed to counteract that. I've changed my philosophy over the years from "there's never a good reason to fight" to "don't start it finish it". It's weird how things change the first time someone else's little brat lays a hand on your child. I now find myself trying to budget for Tae Kwon Do classes so that if anyone thinks they'll lay a hand on my kid, he'll kick their ass sideways and be done with it. I really don't advocate violence, not at all. But I can't have my kids bullied by the strength of the ignorant. They must be able to defend themselves against the violent tendencies of others, at least that's what I keep telling myself.If I keep thinking about this, I think I'll give myself an ulcer, ugh.

Silence Is Never Really

Half an hour in darknessTurns into three in a heartbeatSilent but for the creakingThe wind howls and whispers its secretsNaked eyes of nothing, eternally watchingSounds amplified with closed eyesScreaming sounds of nature barring sleep from taking holdEluding its clutches and being yanked into the presentBy a branch against the window or a soft moan in the wallsShadows of memories of childhood nightmares scuttle across the sleepy mindWorn out nerves lead the way back to irrational dreamsFoggy movements of misshapen nothingGive way to muted colors of warmthThe wind whistles with icy breathThe mind wraps you in a warm blanket and slowly it becomes tomorrow

Ticketmaster sued in Canada

Posted by Dori on February 17, 2009 at 12:12am

Ticketmaster sued in Canada for scalpingSuit comes as ticket giant nears merger with concert promoter Live NationAPupdated 7:43 p.m. ET, Mon., Feb. 9, 2009LOS ANGELES - Canadian lawyers have launched a 500 million Canadian dollar ($411 million) class-action lawsuit against Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc., saying the company sells tickets above face value in contravention of provincial anti-scalping laws.The lawsuit was filed in Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Monday on behalf of Henryk Krajewski, a Toronto management consultant who bought two tickets to a Smashing Pumpkins concert in November for CA$533.65 including service charges from Ticketmaster subsidiary TicketsNow.The tickets would have cost CA$133 on Ticketmaster's main Web site but despite waiting for the sale time, the man was instantly redirected to the higher-priced tickets on TicketsNow, said Jay Strosberg, a lawyer from one of two firms bringing the case. Ontario law forbids selling tickets above face value, he said."We know what it's like to try to get tickets and then you can't because they're sold out in 10 seconds," he said.Similar complaints were made last week by Bruce Springsteen fans who were redirected to TicketsNow, and two New York-area members of Congress are demanding an investigation.After Springsteen himself complained about the TicketsNow markup, Ticketmaster Chief Executive Irving Azoff apologized and said the company would no longer direct fans to the subsidiary.A Ticketmaster spokesman did not respond immediately to a message seeking comment.The lawsuit, filed by law firms Sutts Strosberg LLP and Branch McMaster, comes as Ticketmaster is about to announce a proposed merger with concert promoter Live Nation Inc., according to a person familiar with the situation.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly.Industry analysts said the proposed merger of the two live entertainment giants raises antitrust concerns for both artists and fans.The lawsuit seeks to include anyone who purchased tickets for an event in Ontario from Ticketmaster or through TicketsNow.com since Feb. 9, 2007, the oldest date for joining the suit within the statutory time limit.

Hey, it's good to be here. I'll be here all week. Triy the fish (add rim shot)!I don't have much interesting to say and I'm so not technologicially savvy to post anything. I've never seen Radiohead as somebody must have pissed them off the last time they were in Minnesota and they haven't been back since. I was in college when I first heard Radiohead, I was in a music class and this guy brought in 'The Bends' and played "Fake Plastic Trees". I was blown away. I bought that record and played it all the time. When "Ok Computer" came out I had a backlash against them because "Karma Police" was on the fuckin' radio all the time here and you couldn't get away from it. At some point I had bought "Amnesiac" and was unimpressed. Then one day I was doing a cd trade (back when people used to do that sort of thing) and this guy told me he could get me just about any Radiohead show I wanted. I had gotten some shows in a different trade and had really been impressed with the live aspect of the band. He gave me the web page address and I went there. I eventually made my way to the hub and found a screen name and logged in and started chatting and was there for literally five minutes and somebody says "Hey, are you Steve?". It was weird. I'll just come out and say it.... I love the hub! It's a great place to be and after having been away for a couple of years it's good to see that there is a place to go and share music (and get turned on to some new stuff too) and chat with some friends old and new. I could try and tell you my favorite album but it changes all the time. I was listening to "Creep" today from the '96 Hershey Park show and it just reminded me what an awesome song that is.So anyway, that's what I've got. Let me know if you have anything interesting. Please don't be afraid.... he's only Lyle The Crocodile!

Wish me luck!

Canadia! [sic]

Posted by Whitney on February 16, 2009 at 5:53pm

My stay here in Canada is half over. I didn't think the time would go by so quickly, but it really has... of course it helps that I'm working full-time and the weekends go by reeeeallly quickly. There have been a lot of fun things to do here, although I will say that a car is a necessity - if you want to partake in the winter activities so prevalent here (think snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing etc.). Sadly I am not in possession of one while I'm here. Although I could rent one for a weekend and go on an adventure. Personally, I might do that ...As expected... it's flippin' COLD! Thank god for that, though. I was freezing all the time at home so this has given my body a real shock and hey, by the time I get home I'll have a newly adjusted internal temperature. Just watch... I'll be wearing sun dresses in 50/60 degree weather. :) Speaking of which... I cannot wait for spring! I'm super excited and really feel the need to get out and do something fun... what, as if Canada wasn't fun enough? Right... warmth, my friends... I'm thinking the southwest.I came to the conclusion that having a job is so much better than college. This is clearly something that I'm sure many people will disagree with, but for me, personally... it's so much easier. So I'm 100% ready to transition into a job... sad that the economy had to royally freak out and dive into a blackhole right when I graduated and had to start looking for ... umm...an adult-like career. Yay! Sadly, I doubt anyone in Washington will forgive me of my student loans, so hopefully I'll find something.Still to do:- See a Mounty (but would you believe they have Mounty Trading Cards?! Seriously... you guys gotta get some)- See Moose- Eat Elk... don't worry, I won't hunt them down with a helicopter... and random other local dishes- Speak in "Canadian"- Blame Canada

Little Man being Erased

Posted by Ariel on February 16, 2009 at 8:29am

Going down the road I see, in those who pass by me, not the facial expressions that they really have but the kind of expressions that they would have if they knew the kind of life that I’ve led, if my face and my gestures revealed the shy and absurd abnormality of myself.In some eyes that don’t even look at me I suspect there are smirks directed at the awkwardness I embody in a world where people know how to act and enjoy life. I suddenly feel my self suffocating in the heat of the mockery and hostility. Everyone points their finger at me from the depths of their souls. I walk among cruel phantoms that my morbid imagination has created and placed in real people. Everything slaps me in the face and leers.Sometimes I stop where no one even notices me and I look around in search of a new dimension, a door leading into space, to the other side of it, where I could run war from my awareness of other people and my overly objectified perception of a reality that belongs to other people.Paralyzed and paranoid.As soon as I realize how they would feel if they knew me, it’s as if they really did feel that way, as if right at that moment they were feeling exactly that and expressing it. To associate with others is sheer torture for me. I’m forced to associate with them even when they’re nowhere near. All alone I’m surrounded by multitudes. There’s no escape possible, unless I were to escape from myself.(She ended by melting away.)

Man of Aran - British Sea Power

Posted by Rachel on February 15, 2009 at 10:58am

I shall be very interested in this one. Particularly because I must have watched that film at some point during my childhood. I remember images of a storm, heavy rains and fishermen hauling a huge snapping shark into a boat that didn't seem much larger than the animal itself. I was scared shitless.

I'll have to check if those memories are in fact real of if my childhood imagination and the years since then have blown it out of proportion.

Also, British Sea Power. Fantastic band. Their concert on the tent stage at Haldern Festival 2005 was on of the best shows I've ever seen, completely blew me away. Unfortunately their show at Hurricane 2008 wasn't half as good but fortunately I had internalized half a liter of White Russian, so I didn't mind much (^_^) Ended up with the set list at both shows.

In 2008 the centerpiece of the set was 'The Great Skua', a long, beautiful instrumental piece, I expect the Aran sound track to be similar, looking forward to it.

grammy notes... "AT LEAST IT WASN'T FUCKING COLDPLAY"

Posted by inez on February 14, 2009 at 5:30am

So, the Grammy thing is over… OVER…. I counted about 17 "At least it wasn't fucking Coldplay" quotes in the first 9 min. But here's some notes on the event which I chose to save… I made particularly nice ones bold and italic ;-) This is just a snippet - which I think accurately reflects the spirit of the moment....[19:28] [pancakebunny] you can't have Radiohead show up to perform at the Grammys and then award the thing to a Radiohead tribute band[19:29] [pancakebunny] it's just wrong[20:49] [rocketman] are they really going to play this shitfest of musicians tonight? they being rh[20:50] [rocketman] i'll take the lack of speedy response as a yes by assuming everyone is glued to their TVs[20:54] [keir] i'm not glued to my tv[20:54] [keir] i didn't answer because i thought it was a rhetorical question[20:55] [keir] if i thought it was a real question i'd have said 'no, they're going to throw kanye out of the building and replace the ceremony with a 3 hour modeselektor set, they really have the power to do that'[20:55] [booboo.laptop] i have to say everything i have seen on here so far is horrible.[20:56] [adamd] i wonder if joe satriani's lawyers chased coldplay downRadiohead: GRAMMYsThom-Jonny-marching band 2009-02-08

I guess I'm far too superstitious not to recognize and thank the universe for not metaphorically zapping me into the ether on the 13th day that is a Friday. Experience tells me it's a good idea to be grateful for a reason to smile on Valentines Day. The nice folks at 429 records liked what I did with the song "Lose Big" so they let me know they aren't threatening to sue or anything because I used their client's song for the personal visual project of the moment. *

Lose Big from Heather Wizell on Vimeo.

A river offers a rafter's test of a boat's endurance, and the site for an unlikely canine love triangle. Photo stills by Heather Wizell. Lose Big is a song by Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide on 429 Records.

But for the record, I always make an effort to let people know and if they don't like what I did, I'm always happy to remove the offended party's music.)I'm still pretty new with this media- so, don't worry, I'm not paying any real bills with this and at the same time preventing you from paying yours. We really are all friends who support creatives here , aren't we?Happy Valentines Day*... so I guess I have THAT going for me...

hey man

hey man -
what are you here for
at my doors
sliding in between?

hey man -
what do you want -
shaking down the walls -
from me

these fragments of the carpet
the kitchen and the pictures
the stovetop burning
all flaming into shreds

this box crumbling
the house burning down
the windows clouding
no sound

to leave me,
in spite of you, man,
as I've always seemed -
alive, so

alive.
