is this for real?
U.S soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush [ abc news online ]
this is looking more and more like one of those dictatorships that you keep hearing about from one of 'those countries', doesn't it? really creepy. who the fuck did they (not) elect in 2000??

friday i got lucky. lucky with my musical finds, that is.
the week was fun, music-buying-wise. i had some money left and got a couple of albums that i'd been waiting for. but then the week ended on a great note when i visited the four used record stores downtown. and although i couldn't find anything that i had on my list, i did end up leaving with five cd's in my hands.
and they are:
+ public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back (the 2000 remaster, which i didn't even know existed; a gift from the gods)
+ joy division - unknown pleasures
+ bt - dreaming (eight-track single; never saw this one before)
+ pet shop boys - new york city boy (nine-track single; incidentally, i was listening to nightlife last week, so that's why i got it. and also, when you find a nine-track single, you don't ask questions, you get it)
+ 8 mile (was surprised to see this one. and i got it for next to nothing. i was kinda getting tired of the eminem single, so that's why i never got it; but at 8$ (canadian), i didn't have to think too hard about it)
god, okay. i will admit that i fell in love with 50 Cent's In Da Club the very first time i heard it. eminem and dre's production was outstanding. but then i heard about the hype, and the then i saw 50 on interviews (looking like a fuckin laidback joke). no way would i be getting this album knowing that millions of kids would also be rushing out to the mall on that very first day. but shit, i just heard 50's Places to Go on the 8 mile soundtrack. and it rocks. hard. what's kept me looking sideways at the bandwagon was 50's voice. although it sounds drugged outta hell, it has something. of course the lyrics are trite and shit, but i love his voice. man. now Get Rich or Die Tryin' is on my list. looking at me. whispering.
shit.
