The Kleptones invite you to … A Night At The Hip-Hopera – Symphonic rock meets hip-hop as Queen gets the mash-up/tribute treatment, and the result is quite amazing! Another potential copyright nightmare for the music industry of course, which (ironically enough) probably will cause more sales for both Queen and the other sampled artists (Full track list)…

The first snow arrived today, coating streets, cars and trees with a white powdery layer, and creating a beautiful ambience in the streets. I have a feeling everyone’s spirits are lifted with the first snowfall, especially kids, who finally can get their sleds out from storage.

But hey, just wrap the flag around Saddam. He won’t mind, he’s a flexible guy. And we’ll fall for it. We’ll fall for anything.
Great and thought-provoking writing as always, and be sure to check out the previous articles for more insight on the harsh realities of modern warfare.
Legendary New York rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard died yesterday, only 35 years old. Sad news indeed – I’ve been a fan of ODB and his raw, demented rap style since his days with Wu-Tang Clan and his classic Return to the 36 Chambers album.
