Random Ten

Rather than give half a thought to a post today, I'm going to do that old standby and see what my iPod can regurgitate for me
  1. The International Language of Screaming  Super Furry Animals
  2. Dead Man James
  3. Centre for Holy Wars The New Pornographers
  4. Knuckle Too Far James
  5. Love is the Drug Roxy Music
  6. Tears of Rage The Band
  7. Urban Aire Afro Celt Sound System
  8. Every Time I See Your Picture Luba
  9. Penpals Sloan
  10. I Could Be Happy Here Big Country
As a note, if you don't know Super Furry Animals, James, or the New Pornographers get off your butt and seek them out. Super Furries and James have had a varied career and covered a variety of sounds; there's no way to really make a comparison because each album is a re-invention. The New Pornographers are one of the great, great lights of the indie scene in Canada and you just need to hear them. They've got a great video out somewhere covering Toronto's Your Daddy Don't Know.

On the other side, it seems that there is a forming backlash against the power of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Part of this backlash is a movement to leave the church . It seems that this is belied a bit by the recent passing of the Blasphemy Law in Ireland. We can take it as read that this is a massive step backward from freedom of expression. And all for a victimless crime. The nice thing is that there is a backlash against this as well with commentary and with Irish atheists promising to test the law out. It boggles the mind that there’s even a debate about this sort of crap.

8 Facts Meme

Okay, I got tagged by Mojoey who runs the Atheist Blogroll. So first the rules must be posted before the response given. Rules: Post these rules before we give you the facts. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them each a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog. So here is the information about me. Habit: I talk to myself. More when I'm alone than around people, though I seem to wander off sometimes into my own thoughtspace and end up in a sotto voce conversation with myself. This also plays into my sense of hearing. Habit: I pull on my beard a lot. Not in a thinking-about-something-beard -stroking-look-intelligent way. More in a do-I-have-split-ends way. Fact: I have a rash on ...
