I have been watching “The Florida Outpouring” for the past two weeks. This self-titled Christian movement has been meeting in Lakeland, Florida, every night for the past 60 days. The meetings are led by Pastor Todd Bentley, a short overweight young man of 32 who is covered in tattoos and piercings. Pastor Todd Bentley and [...]

PSY-TRANCE: This is electronica on drugs…Isn’t most trance on drugs you ask? Yes, I agree with you, but I am referring to trance on a DIFFERENT sort of drugs.. An example would be the [...]

Hello again, it is time to continue through the veritable jungle of artists and genres that lend themselves to the “Electronica” theme!
Oldies “electronica” hits that you may have heard of include Donna Summer’s I FEEL LOVE (70’s) and Soft Cell’s TAINTED LOVE (80’s). In my opinion, one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) electronic [...]

Apparently lawsuits against those who download pirated music aren’t the only thing we have to worry about, a fire extinguisher could also come in handy.
Radiohead, one of the world’s most popular and critically acclaimed groups, finished their contract with EMI with their 6th release, “Hail to the Thief”, in 2003. The band has just announced that their 7th recording “In rainbows” will be available for download only from their website inrainbows.com on October 10th, for any price you choose, [...]
Early morning on the 4th of July at the Kenwood Footrace, a winding hilly course that eventually curved through a private vineyard, I made my running debut at 59:18 for the 10k (6.2 miles).
I was strongly encouraged by my roommate, otherwise I probably would not have signed up. I have been running for years [...]
An old friend contacted me through myspace some weeks ago. A friend I have not really seen nor spoken to since junior high, or perhaps even grade school.
