We Believe The Iraq war is the biggest and most serious crime of a generation - ( Although the toppling of mass murdering dictator Saddam Hussain can only be seen as a good thing ) - The Country posed no threat and had no weapons capable of attacking the west. This is little more than an 'Oil War' in order to allay the bankrupt American (and therefore British) economies.

Some Bizzare: Redefining the prologue 1981-2006 (Universal CD)
'Redefining The Prologue' - "Anyone with an interest in UK Electronic Music should immerse themselves in these 18 tracks" - Q magazine.
Some Bizzare: Redefining the prologue 1981-2006 (Universal CD)
25 years ago, Some Bizzare founder Stevo's dyslexia gave us a name that even today makes this writer fumble over its correct spelling. He also gave us music that was eclectic yet unified by being maverick, hard edged and largely electronic. There's more to it that that description, of course, and this 18 track anthology is more like a presentation than a journey through the past. This is put cheekily into context firstly with Soft Cell's "Memorabilia" - Monkey Farm Frankenstein's Mental Remix thereof - which unsentimentally ends with found speech "forget about it; it's better to have no memories."
To complicate matters, MFF's own "Just another victim from 2006 sounds as if it's come from the same Some Bizzare motherload, and "Accelerate" by Meka is cut from similar cloth as Soft Cell, albeit with a meatier 21st century digital sound. Dark Poets "Crazy", another 2006 track, with its fuzz Metal chords and monomaniacally sampled voice, is a bad trip inverse of handbag house.
Taking that into account, it's quite amazing that - by avoiding the cliches of the era - some of the 80s tracks sound remarkably current. Swans' "Time Is Money (Bastard)" (1985) is typically sour with cod-menacing vocals over a marching rhythm. But from the same year, Cabaret Voltaire's "Crackdown" and Einsturzende Neubauten's "Yu-Gung", with its Can-like beat -and even The The's "Twilight Of A Champion" (1983) - all sound suprisingly fresh. Bizzare indeed.

Hey hi there just passing by to show some love to your page with one of my newest poems anyways when you have time hit me up and tell me what you think!
I, Somewhere Along The Way
Night the night becomes a nightmare, and the day becomes pain, the pain that runs below every feeling I have, there is no other than to take the pain, there is nothing else to take, than just to see my life fall apart little by little, because all of this is a disaster, a disaster that I brought into my life, and the darkes feelings that I ever had, so when I die all my sins, and all the chaos that I brought to everyone around me could turn into dust, so crist I beg for forgivenss, so when is time for me to die my soul could rest in peace.
dark greetings, i am not really a good myspace friend.. if you havent noticed. hmm well feel free to delete me. I dont log on often.. i have a lot going on in my personal life and do apoligize.
