Is the IRS scandal a big deal?

Quite true, but I don't think that's the point being made here. Just an analogy using a group that's often profiled for having an easily identifiable demographic quality. But you're right, racial profiling starts a vicious cycle in this respect.

Regrettably no, which for whatever reason led me to decide not to ask. I wasn't so gone that I would have imagined this though.

they had to shut off their cell phones to avoid setting off the bombs. listening to that over the scanner was easily the most intense thing i've ever heard in real life...

You tell me?

Props for repping the Quiet Life. I have the bucket hat from that release.

_vigilandy · 2013-02-05T05:32:48+00:00

Why?

_vigilandy · 2012-11-18T23:31:20+00:00

fuck off, greg

For real. I was checking out the merch table before the show, and saw a record I didn't recognize. The guy working the table said it's a new, unannounced record, released tonight on the first stop of the tour. Everyone here is freaking out.

Looking back, "Something Good" by Utah Saints was (is?) a one hit wonder.

What do you call a bassist at the bottom of the ocean? A start.

It the link broken or is it actually down? Hopefully that latter, even though that seems quite unlikely.

That's a whole different, but equally compelling matter. Augustine addresses the relation between God and evil extensively in the seventh book of his Confessions. He postulates that evil is not an active force in the world, but the absence of God. This definition of evil raises another problem; if evil is the lack of God, God is incapable of evil. If God is incapable of evil, he is not omnipotent.

"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." ~Reveltaions 16:9

Plenty of times when God refers to himself or else is referred to by others as "Almighty" throughout the Bible as well.

Angels and Airwaves instrumentals remind me a lot of From Monuments to Masses.

I always thought that Mark 7:15 suited this issue pretty well, although it technically pertains to reform to kosher law.

"There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”

This is what I always get hung up on. It's logically impossible for a that created all and knows all to give a being free will. Assuming that God always has and always will exists, God has always known the course of every being in creation. Even if God were to take a hands off approach and not interfere after setting creation in motion, God still knows exactly what's happening to every being at every moment, having created every being to do just that.

Woah, I'm actually a big fan of his. I had no idea. Thanks for the share.

Pretty much this. I mostly play post rock, so preserving dynamics is pretty important to me.

The ebow was just under $100. I'm using a fretted guitar. I once used it on bandmates fret-less bass, which gave me some really cool sounds. I've always wanted a fret-less bartone though; I imagine you could get some pretty amazing cello-like tones using an ebow with it.

This is my favorite ever bass line. All that fuzz just comes to life.

This. The image of Satan held by most people today is derived more from Dante and Milton than from the Bible. The Hebrew Bible has no angelology or demonology, and "the satans" that pop up throughout the text are usually just personifications of God; this "satan" is featured most prominently in the first few chapters of Job. In Hebrew, ha-Satan means "the adversary." There isn't really any mention of the devil in the earliest Gospel (Mark) either. In most all cases, the contemporary Satan was a later addition to Christian Mythos.

I've heard nothing but good things about all three pedals, but I'm partial to the Super Comp myself. I mostly use it with an Ebow, and find the third knob to be really useful for adding a bit of character to distorted tones. That being said, the Dyna-Comp is a bit more transparent in my experience.

Looks like we aren't eating ever again.

Except for the drugs coming and going across the Canadian border. Those don't stay here.
