After being in jail and recently being released, Varg Vikernes has revived his Burzum side project in a big way with Belus. Does the albujm signal a return to form for the notorious musician, or does it signal a welcome and needed evolution of his craft?

Found out from some pretty trustworthy people that Pixar’s UP won the Best Animated Film Oscar based on the first and most emotional 10 minutes of the film without a complete screening, while the other nominees were required to be screened completely.
While I enjoy Disney/Pixar works, this reeks of payola and bullshit.

After listening to Mechanize, the latest from Fear Factory for a few months, I came away satisfied but ultimately underwhelmed. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like the album, I find it enjoyable. What bothered me the most about the album is the one element that makes or breaks a Fear Factory album, which is the guitar playing.

I know the site has been down for awhile, but I recently got to a point where I had enough money to cover past hosting. Anyway, I’m going to be using this site as my personal portal where I can test Wordpress to its full potential and show people what makes me who I am.
I’m going to post everyday, but I’m not going to post mundane details about my life. I will post about my experiences in relstion to my position as a professional blogger and startup manager, while showing you the things that I am truly passionate about.
Later.

Hell Bent/More As A Metaphor for Current Events
When I was 15 and had access to MTV2, there was a music video from the musician Kenna by the name of “Hell Bent” that used the short film “MORE” by noted producer Mark Osborne.
With all of the events in the past year, the video could be construed as many things going on in the world.

What You Can Legally Carry in Mexico As Personal Use Narcotics Next Year
Being a second generation Mexican, I always loved going to Mexico to visit family when I was younger. Being able to drink and hang out with family was always fun as well as eating awesome food and setting off fireworks.
Mexico has now done what the US is too chickenshit to do in terms of the “drug war” and is regulating personal possesion of narcotics in the following amounts according to the recently passed bill:
“The maximum amount of marijuana for “personal use” under the new law is 5 grams-the equivalent of about four joints. The limit is a half gram for cocaine, the equivalent of about 4 “lines.” For other drugs, the limits are 50 milligrams of heroin, 40 milligrams for methamphetamine and 0.015 milligrams for LSD.”
Keep in mind that while the bill was passed, the national law will actually not go into effect until next year, as Mexican states will need to repeal current state laws in order to reflect the new law of the land.

Free Stream: Slayer’s Hate Worldwide
Shockhound.net has Slayer’s new single “Hate Worldwide” up for streaming and it kicks ass, moreso than “Psychopathy Red”. The image above is the cover to the limited edition single being sold tomorrow at Hot Topic as an exclusive ahead of the release of “World Painted Blood”.
I hate Hot Topic myself, but they are relevant when it comes to music sales, so I’m willing to dash in and dash out.
