TimeLord

And the rain makes a sound like the asteroids
There are worlds made of ice in the clouds
I'm receiving transmissions they broadcast long ago
They remind me of things I have seen
All the people and cities and crowds

And the rain is so strange in the Milky Whey
I see cloudscapes of purple and green
Candleabras are shooting off firework displays
And I'm writing the things I have seen
People shopping and sparks from a train

Pigs In Athens

Athens, Greece. Sunday June 17th, Eject festival with Madness, Beastie Boys and Underworld. 50 (according to newspapers, many more said people who were there) non paying pigs entered the ex Olympic estate where the fest was held, torched it, wounding one member of the Underworld and destroying the concert for thousand peaceful (and paying) music lovers (or at least for those who did not develop the mob mentality and did not steal everything they could). U See, Athens is not the idylic place to be. Self proclaimed 'anarchists' -without a clue of any real anarchic theory- 'supported' by a puppet government of complete morons (and a dangerous and complete idiot minister of public order) have turned the country upside down the last couple of years.
The video posted is Jumbo by Underworld, the band that didn't play because of the chaos inside the arena and the fact that one of them was injured by a humanAnimal. This is what those pigs destroyed that night!
