Gibson Les Paul Studio

This seems to be as close as I can get to the black Les Paul Trent Reznor plays. The body is more or less spot on, but his guitar seems to have a different fretboard and pickups. The few reviews I’ve read have been very positive, and seemingly it’s a perfect guitar for playing stuff [...]

I’ll post about it while it’s still mildly current. Basically, NIN were awesome, but the crowd weren’t into them at all.

Definitely my favourite Republican candidate; possibly my favourite candidate overall. It’s a shame he isn’t eight years younger…

I need more friends on my Facebook account, or else I’ll look like such a loser on the coolest of the internet social networking sites (oh noes!11). You can help by joining.
Selfish Charity

Here’s as interesting science article from the Economist. It examines recent research that suggests people give to charity in order to appeal to the opposite sex, and not due to compassion, a sense of human fraternity, etc…

The excellent video for ‘Into the Void’ (circa 2000).

One of the better installments of the 434-part series.
