April 07, 2003: [•] Despite what Iraq has to say US forces are in Baghdad as we speak conducting military operations against what’s left of Hussein’s failing regime. Also UK forces say that Chemical Ali is dead and if that’s true it would be a big blow to Hussein’s control base. [•] Eighteen Kurdish officials were killed in a friendly fire incident. [•] Gas prices have dropped a few cents for the sixth week in a row and are about 10¢ from where I remember them a year ago. [•] The UN has confirmed a report that Christians were slaughtered in a genocide attack in the Republic of Congo even though days before the attack both side signed a peace treaty. [•] Tornados hit Mississippi over the weekend. [•] Now North Korea says that any UN resolutions against their country will be regarded as a call to war. [•] A fire in a Siberian village’s school has left 22 people dead. [•] An Indian MIG fighter jet crashed into a milk factory injuring several factory workers. [•] Over 100 inmates are dead in Honduras after a prison riot. [•] A teen who fell into a coma shortly after delivering her child has come out of it a year later. [•] Over 2 million inmates are currently incarcerated in the US today. [•] Concern is growing over organ transplants being the cause of cancer spreading to individuals who would have not otherwise developed the disease. [•] Despite being shut down eight billion times al Qaeda’s web site is managing to survive. [•] Researchers are continuing to work on minimizing the total equipment weight carried by a soldier. [•] Lawyers are warning that if employers do not more aggressively filter work mail for pornography they may risk lawsuits. [•] Apple is going to offer an upgrade to its multimedia A/V production line of software. [•] Red Hat has started selling add-on applications for its server software. [•] Adobe continues to strive to become the document format of choice by updating its PDF format once again. [•] The upcoming new video for Marilyn Manson’s new single, moBSCENE, will be 40’s carnival themed. [•] Gorillas and chimpanzees are on the verge of extinction. [•] Mmmmm… Mazda RX-8. [•] I had an enjoyable, but somewhat busy weekend. The highlight of the weekend had to be when Gette learned to sing Rockin’ Robin. She’s so darn cute. We were watching an old VHS tape of the Muppet Show and that song came on. Out of nowhere she stands up, starts dancing, and singing along. It was completely adorable. I love that daughter of mine 😉

Mermaid poised this: “I encourage everyone to make a “Desert Island” list. Readers of my site who have sites of their own, post it on yours. It will be interesting to see what everyone picks. The rules are simple. Given that you know you’ll be stranded on a Desert Island,.. if you could pick only 5 Albums that you could take to listen to for the rest of your life, what would they be? You can’t create mix tapes and CDs, they have to be legitimate albums. ”

5: Marilyn Manson: Antichrist Superstar – The resurrection of both Industrial and the concept album started here. Beautiful and scary at the time, the overall story is an intricate look at the down fall of a human by the fault of his own desires and needs. This is the model of the perfect concept album and lends itself to the story not only by word, but by texture and sound as well. I lived on this album for about a year on constant repeat in my stereo and played along till I knew every guitar note.

4: Deftones: Adrenaline – The first real metal album in years the Deftones blew up the 1995 rapcore scene way before Limp Bizkit ever appeared and they did right. The guitars mix perfectly with the shredded vocals, smooth bass lines, and break-beat drums. Chino Moreno is definitely one of the top vocalist of our music era. Very cool stuff. Every other nu-metal band wants to be them, but has no hope of ever coming close. Another album that I left on repeat for a year and learned every guitar note to.

3: Snapcase: Progression Through Unlearning – Real straight edge hard-core– If I had to name one band that fit that bill it would be Snapcase. When I saw them perform live I was beyond impressed and couldn’t help, but be drawn in. The album describes perfectly how society has become a lazy drug ridden and addicted mass that owes its life to poison breeding corporations full of greed. The truth has never been so apparent and perfectly spoken before.

2: Tool: Aenima – If I could take everything I liked about my previous three choices and combine it into one album without breaking the no compilation/mix tape rule it would be this album. Tool is simply the best groove based hard rock band on the face of the planet. Their songs have real meanings and themes like a concept album, but aren’t limited to one direct idea. They are hard like metal, but at the same time able to create soft beautiful melodies. They are aggressive like hard-core, but introspective like industrial. From the whooshing stacked chords of Stink Fist to the Satanic sounding spaghetti recipe Die Eier Von Satan and the last roar of Third Eye you can’t find another album that combines and breaks every music genre better. Brilliant.

1: Nine Inch Nails: Fragile – One hundred and two minutes of bliss. Sonically much softer then his previous work Trent Reznor has managed to create an album that isn’t easy to swallow in one sitting. It literally takes hours of listening and introspective reading of the lyrics book to begin to comprehend the time, as well as, passion put into this double album. Every portion, note, texture, sound, lyric, and graphic in the entire package has been obsessively looked at. Every single moment has a meaning. The feeling can be felt in the air around you as you listen to it. Fragile manages to prove that sometimes the loudest sound is the one that isn’t said at all.

I guess that means its the best of all worlds, but without all the crap there was in previous albums. This is exciting stuff. Talk to you tomorrow.
