I know that this feature has always existed, but I have just started to really listen to iTunes radio.
Great channels, great reception, and best of all, most have no commercials. It's like free satellite radio.
I've been listening to the second "Blues Classics" channel (under the "Blues" category) and "Big Band Cantina" (under the "Jazz" category.)
If you love music, or just want some great relaxing, euphoric music to listen to, I would highly encourage you to check out those two channels, or any other for that fact!
Cheers,
Chris.

My thoughts exactly
My thoughts exactly...
Jack White has been my favorite guitarist for a long time. The way he presents himself and his dedication, attitude, and respect to his art and fellow musicians makes him such a great model for any aspiring guitarist. In a recent interview for the upcoming film "It Might Get Loud," White, and Jimmy Page, my second favorite guitarist, were asked what they thought about the current trend for music video games.
I couldn't agree more.
I find it frustrating, and sad, when students, or people in general only know of particular songs, or music from video games. They haven't found it naturally. They haven't been introduced to it in the proper way, therefore they probably don't appreciate, or understand it as well as they should.
I'm a guitarist who has been playing for the past 14 years, and teaching for the past 3. When a student comes in asking to learn a particular song, naturally I inquire as to where they heard it, and why they like it/want to learn it... Most common response: I can play this song in Guitar Hero.
Ugh.

Smooth Originals
I came across these advertisements for Stella Artois that are truly genius. They took popular films of today, and remade them as if they were classy, sixties-francais films. The advertising is not blatent, but its a great concept that I hope they continue.

My favorite is "Dial Hard"

Backmasking
If you are unfamiliar with the term "backmasking," it merely represents playing a song backwards and looking for hidden messages within. Although some are not as plausible, believable, or distinguishable as others, there are some that are undoubtedly creepy.

Well...?
Have you ever...
- realized that you're life story, you're creation, and eventual destruction, are *to one's dimensional consent* are all available, and have been visualized through another lens?, creating a multi-dimensional memory...
- considered the notion that if evolution is true, that our planet (Earth) should be home to one prime species. Let me extrapolate; consider us as humans. An object at best, we are constantly compared to primates as our "closest relative." Now, would it not be implausible to consider that primates and humans are in fact "the same thing?" Could it not be sufficient to hypothesise that we are in fact the same "thing/specie" but our perspectives of others are from different periods in our timelines. It's as if when we look at primates, their evolution in to what WE have become, maybe 10,000 years in the future, or even in the past!? This is considering that a meta-physical "timeline" exists and is in constant motion.
- considered that everything we have been taught, and told, has been meticulously controlled and we have been raised in a governmental bubble?
- thought of how it would suck to be allergic to water?
- discovered how amazingly random, yet thought provoking my posts are?

The Significance of Insignificance
Do you realize how insignificant you are?
Do you realize that in relation to a town, a city, a country, a continent, a hemisphere, a planet, a solar system, a galaxy, and the entire universe, you are one of the most insignificant aspects?
Whether you choose to continue with that diet, or decide to call a long lost friend, your actions are minuscule and unchanging in relation to "everything else."
Even humanity as a race is insignificant.
When one considers the vast, haunting, unexplored surroundings of the universe, and the proportionate size that it constitutes, one really see's their life's journey in an entirely new perspective.
For through humanity's arrogance of supposedly being "all-knowing," what is it to say that there are variables that we know not of? Nor will we ever. Perhaps it has been "programmed" in our genetics to never be able to fully grasp and comprehend a) our purpose, b) our creator and c) the sheer probability that our race is still in existence.
One has to consider the astronomical probabilities that our race has endured to still be in existence today. All it would take is someone on the other side of the world to hit a button, or incorrectly mix elements, or not build an experiment to "code" (re: Hadron Collider.) All it would take is an asteroid to hit our planet, another planet to die in our solar system, our sun to die, or another galaxy to collide with outs, let alone the millions and trillions of other galaxys to not interfere with ours.
This was not meant to justify living a life out of context. Not meant to make you feel worthless, inexperienced, and unimportant. This was meant to stimulate two concepts:
Proportion, and Probability.
Update: This may help put everything in to perspective.
Update 2: This may also help. Consider the notion that "From the burst's perspective, Earth's formation lay 8.5 billion years in the future.

Dr. Josef Mengele: The Angel of Death
Dr. Josef Mengele is considered one of the most horrendous men to ever contribute to the SS war efforts during the second World War. Mengele's fascination with eugenics and anthropology made him a key henchman under Hitler's regime, and aided in the research and discovery of the genetics behind the Aryan race.
I strongly urge you watch the following documentary about Dr. Mengele. It is frightening, fascinating, and jaw-dropping to learn the life that the doctor led.
