Changes

Well I could have just went back to the post I literally just wrote, but I decided this was important enough to be its own "entity". So there will be a few changes with the blog.

Now that I am back, things will be run a bit different around here.

1. There will be no more blog, music or videos of the week!
- That does not mean that these types of posts will no longer be posted, it just means that
they will no longer be called such and the frequency of which they appear will be
changed.
2. Posting.
- I can no longer guarantee how often I will be posting due to other commitments, it will
probably end up being erratic (couple posts same day then nothing for a while), but I can
promise that I will post as often as I can, whether that is every day or every month.
3. Topics.
- There will be new topics! Music and Videos will generally be the same, can't really
change that, but the written posts will be much more diverse. Hopefully something for
everyone.
4. Pictures.
- I plan on changing the revolving pictures to something more elegant as they are crap.

Well, that is pretty much all I can think of right now. If I think of anything else I will either create an entire new post, or edit this one and point out the new changes.

Thanks,
Dillon Wheeler

Tests

Sometimes you are tested, the thing you need most is taken away and how you react is critical. Most of the traffic here was diverted to another site for some inane reason. This caused me to all but give up on the blog. I lost motivation. I was broken. Traffic dropped by 600%. Now though that may have been a blessing in disguise. A higher power testing me. Why? Because I decided to check the traffic again, and it seems that all hope is definitely not lost, traffic has increased again. We are now back up to our previous levels. What this has done has now given me the motivation the write on the blog again. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I am back baby.

Thanks,
Dillon Wheeler

Fifteen minutes

Looks like our fifteen minutes are over. For everyone who still reads this blog, thank you, and there will be new content occasionally. To everyone who came for the pictures, fuck you!!!!!!

We have had a good run here.

Thanks,

A Question

As the title says, here is a question for you:

Would you rather have shelter, all the food and water you need, and guaranteed safety but are caged in a small house, on the other side of that would you rather be released into the world, as much freedom as you can fathom, but no guarantee that you will not be killed in the wild and you will have to survive on your own, scavenging for food + water etc, none of that will be provided for you, no food, water, shelter, or safety. Nothing but freedom. What do you think? Basic needs but no freedom, or freedom but no basic needs?

Personally, I don't know which I would choose, probably the freedom though.

Thanks,
Dillon Wheeler

Song of the Week #9: "Lotus Flower" and "If I lose You"

By: Matt Gallagher

Hello friends. It’s been a while, I know. But I have returned with a song of the week! So fear not! This week I’d like to feature two brand new songs from two of my favorite artists. The first being a brand new single from Radiohead!!! This comes from their new album “The King of Limbs” which was just released today. You can download it from www.radiohead.com . The video itself is very odd. It features Thom Yorke dancing abstractly to the music. Enjoy it!



The second video comes from the band Shiny Toy Guns. This is the first track in a few years that features the reunion of the band and their former lead singer, Carah Faye Charnow. We all wait with baited breathe for the new album, hopefully due out later this year.




Thanks for listening,
Matt

Song of the Week #8: The Becoming

By: Matt Gallagher

This week I'd like to feature a great live studio recording of "The Becoming" as performed by Nine Inch Nails. I've always enjoyed the energy Reznor puts into this specific performance.



ok ok, one more. This ones for you love.

Video of the Week 6: Stanley Kubrick

By: Matt Gallagher

This weeks video is a wonderful piece that looks at the films of of the great Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick was one of the 20th centuries greatest visionary directors, with extremely high accolades such as A Clockwork Orange, 2001: a Spacey Odyssey, Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, Full metal jacket, Dr. Strangelove: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb, Paths of Glory, and Spartacus. Looking back at his body of work, I can easily say he is responsible for many of the brilliant and notable films in the last 50 years. If you enjoy cinema than I guaranty you have seen one of his films. So without further ado, an homage to Stanley kubrick.

Warning: the film clips featured in this video do contain scenes of graphic violence and nudity
