Rick James DIO - Holy Mary Jane

Ronnie James Dio - Budweiser Commercial

Rick James DIO - Holy Mary Jane

When I think of Oliva Newton-John, i think of...

newtboy says...

I was 8 for Grease. I only saw it because I went to the movies with a neighbor (and her kids) and she decided we would sneak into grease after and watch it for free. I got in trouble (as if I had a choice).

By then I listened to (what at the time was considered) hard rock…KISS, AC/DC, DIO, Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. my family liked Barry Manilow, John Denver, and Neil Diamond. The music wasn’t for me.

Greaser/bobbysoxer stuff never excited me either, I wouldn’t have seen it by choice.

Disco…I still like. I don’t care that it’s not popular, in fact that helps. Xanadu came out when I was 10….it also wasn’t my choice of movie, and probably wasn’t as good a movie overall I don’t remember, but I liked it better at 10.

How old were you? I was thirteen and the idea of "mainstream" i'm sure, was nowhere near my wheelhouse of thinking.

My memories of her are exclusively from Grease which i really enjoyed. I do know her her hits, but her music and pop in general never interested me. I had been indoctrinated in progressive rock by the older neighborhood kids by this time. It was always the movie for me, not at all her music.

Asimov on superstition, religion, and rationality

newtboy says...

I love the sideburns.

I'm pretty certain he would be happy to be in that group of deep thinkers instead of one with dumb ass Elvis, the anti drug-pill popper.

Religious people cannot be wholly logical, belief in the unseen unproven physically impossible and largely disproven and debunked supernatural is not logical or rational. (1) Putting your faith in the unproven is irrational and illogical, then using that misguided belief as a cudgel to berate others as +-99% of religious people do is just evil. Way worse than justifying military weapons in the name of science (which isn't reality, btw), it uses belief in the irrational and unprovable to justify USING those weapons on innocent populations, often for believing in the wrong irrational and unprovable supernatural ideas.
The worst atheist ape is more rational than the best believer, and on average around 10* more pleasant to talk with. They won't ever tell you all the ridiculous reasons you're going to hell, unless they're arguing directly from the theist's dogma and not reality....I often slam anti gay religious people for the much worse sin of mowing on Sunday, wearing cotton poly blends, or eating shellfish....but I don't believe it or even pretend to.

There's a logical explanation for Trump....think about how intollerably stupid, self centered, and irrational the average person is....now realize the truth that 1/2 are stupider, more self centered, and more irrational than that....add in the fact Trump lost by >3000000 votes but won the electoral college anyway, and boom, it makes sense. Maddening, soul crushing sense.

X-Secret devil sign on my forehead and spit twice, like Dio's mother taught him.

(1) That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

so what the logic behind those sideburns?

just let it all grow. save on shaving gear. as a writer, he'd fit in more with Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, or Whitman* than Elvis.

on a different angle, the atheist apes can be worse than J.W., Mormons, and Evangelist badgers. if a person wants to believe in a higher power - so what? they can get through their days as serenely as the true science maven. religious people can be logical, brilliant, and still put faith in the unproven. no worse than justifying military weapons in the name of science.

after all, having experienced this president, am pushed to believe in True Evil yet simultaneously believing there is no GOD.

no logic or reason to it other than he is a magical troll, and has cast a spell on the townspeople.

X-- (cross and spit twice)

*or perhaps, Darwin as a science writer

A Brief History of Metal

newtboy says...

Bah...Sabbath rules, Slayer shreds, Limp Bizkit just blows. ;-)


What gives....no DIO? (Nice that you included his "secret devil sign", thanks for warding off the evil eye for us, or were you giving it to us?). No Fearless Iranians From Hell, no Vengance Rising, no Current93, no GWAR...not even Brendon Small? I get it's a short video, but they left out tons while including Van Halen and Durst!? Alrighty then, just be that way.

Metal Bellydancer Diana Bastet - Sepultura "Ratamahatta"

Stormsinger says...

That was based on a comment on youtube...I wouldn't know thrash from deathmetal myself. My tastes in metal are pretty well limited to the classic rock varieties: Led Zeppelin, Dio, etc..

But it would seem the song is more familiar than I realized, I -have- seen that video before. Still prefer the dancer personally, she's much easier on the eyes.

ChaosEngine said:

Eh?? “Ratamahatta” isn’t thrash, not even close.

And the vocals are awesome.

And the original video is way better than this

Gravitational Waves Jam

eric3579 says...

And I know they could be testing me
The data might be wrong
A preplanned concocted recipe
And played up all along
But at least my graphs are beautiful
With sigma 5.1
This I know
This I know

They told me don't worry about it
Analyze the chirp and
No more
They told me be careful
And doubt it
But I've seen a merger
Of black hole-ole-ole-oles!

LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of
Gravitation

LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor
Perturbation

Vacuum sealed interferometer
An L 5-mile long
Split a laser, bounce 300 times
Compare the distance gone
One built in Louisiana and one more in Washington
That's LIGO
Yeah LIGO

A Billion lightyear journey
To cover
Then it hit the Fabry-Perot
Lengthening one leg then
The other
Making fringes dance on
The dio- o- o- ode!

LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of
Gravitation

LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor
Perturbation

LIGO feels that space is rippling through
From an ancient
Amalgamation

LIGO feels that space because it's crew
Gave it seismic
Isolation

This event's power is
Enormous
Fifty universes
Of suns
We had indirect clues
Before this
All you GR haters
You were wrong -ong -ong

LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of

LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor

LIGO feels that space is rippling through
Can you feel the

Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show.

poolcleaner says...

I don't necessarily disagree with you. My opinions, while oft contrarian, are really just open ended processes without judgement or declaration. They are hardly even opinions, as I almost always simultaneously believe and hold dear multiple conflicting ideas about particular subjects. An enlightened doublethink as it were. Everything is a theory worth pondering. Thanks Socrates. Thanks for making me not know anything.

Now while tenure certainly holds clout, it can also blind us to the moments in time which were shorter but sweeter than any of the fine tuned complexities of empire. The Internet as we know it, with youtube and Facebook, for example, may be the fixture but I'll always think kindly upon those early 90s, when it was the awkward but mysterious world wide web.

So, cool, yay for fixtures, but I'm a founders man, not a member of the club after its maturity. The Thomas Paine -- Cool, the revolution is over, now fuck yo couch. Where's the next one?

Other examples where the fixture isn't necessarily the only method to decide value by: Van Halen's prolific career versus that first, highly exceptional, fast and heavy album. Or the short but sweet years Ronnie James Dio or Glenn Huges sang for Black Sabbath -- Ozzy is the fixture, but those short moments of time where something strange and magical was created with other diverse geniuses, prior to or after the bread winners, those are the moments of fascination.

I love Jon Stewart but this ain't no thang. My interest was already piqued and held years ago, before him. He's great though and far better than a single television show.

Kilborn did the show for three years. Jon has done it for 16-17 years. That's about half my life, whereas Kilborn's stint was a little blip. I think a lot of people are in the same boat. We may have liked Kilborn's version of the show (I did! But I was in Jr. High, so what the hell do I know) but it was never the fixture that Jon Stewart's version became.

Foo Fighters with Zac Brown: "War Pigs"

You were listening to Ozzy Sabbath during the post-Dio, Deep Sabbath era?

dag said:

Quote hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Was just about to submit this but you beat me by a mere 5 hours. ;-) Really nice cover. Yes, the lyrics were a little off but, I thought Zac Brown did an otherwise good job, the tune lends itself to a country style in those sections I think.

I remember listening to this song on my Walkman in about '84. Takes me back.

Eddie Huang exposes TED Conference

highdileeho says...

I watched the video because I heard good things about Joe's podcast. The Bro-Speak was more then any reasonably intelligent person can tolerate. But I will say that I know people with his personality, and people generaly hang onto their every word. I get why people find him entertaining, i refer to those people as unfiltered sieves but anyway.

TED talks are about the hour long talk not all the bullshit the speaker has to deal with in order to associate with their very high quality product; which is making himself available for promotion for 8 days, pretty reasonable considering the boost he would recieve by participating. If he dosen't like it then don't be apart of it. My feeling is that he really thought it would be a good move to be associated with the TED brand and got bitter after he broke the pre-arranged agreement. It has nothing to do with "how societies were created" or any other pretentious crap, the guy failed at an attempt to further his career and handled it like a fat spoiled child. Or if I was to describe it like Joe:
....fuckin ....fuckin ....fuckin..... bro
P.S.
VICE is the most poorly produced, amateur hour, broadcast. The topics are extremly myopic and serves special interests groups. in 100 years the entire world will laugh at the ridiculous nature of their product. Like watching a Dio video:
