And from today's "that was then this is now" department:
"Elon Musk has said he will not reinstate the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Twitter, saying he has 'no mercy' for people who capitalize on the deaths of children for personal fame."

I’m def a fangirl. Let’s do some whoop-a** justice.
Today is prog and metal day inside the lab, which is unrare.
Don't let the intro fool you. This is what could have happened if Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays had taken that left turn at Albuquerque. A jazz/prog/metal fusion that works.
Here is "Oiseau" from Kenta Shimakawa. If you dig, check out the whole album ("Glimpse")
(and if this is not hard enough for you, check out his track "Ambivalence (Shred Edition)")

Ummm...
For fans of Haken, Queen, System of a Down/Serj Tankian, Devin Townsend and (maybe?) Zappa. Wow.

This clip, from one of my favorite movies, is increasingly how I feel these days. Especially when reading yet another story of yet another self-righteous crusader who's found guilty of doing - you guessed it - yet another thing that they were supposedly fighting against. ("Stamp out trailing prepositions!")

My love for music is born from growing up listening to my father's albums across all genres, from The Boston Pops/Arthur Fiedler to Black Sabbath. As I got older, like most people, what I listen to day to day depends on my mood. Also, lyrics matter a great deal to me, as well as musicians who rock the boat, from Frank Zappa to Rage Against The Machine.
Music is powerful.
