“When you look at the Earth from space you are overwhelmed by its beauty,” Foale said. “Human tragedy is invisible to you. You know it is there, but you can only see the beauty.”

In the next few months I’ll have the opportunity to see:
The Pixies
The Faint
Ministry
Cannibal Corpse
Fear Factory
Lamb of God
Children of Bodom
Napalm Death
Snow Patrol
Deathcab for Cutie
Coheed and Cambria (!!)

Woot for live music!
Woot!

You’ll note a large number of black/death metal bands up there. You (and I) have XM Radio channel 42 to thank for that. It’s no secret that I love me some metal, but there’s been such a dearth of it in my life for so long. Now I’ve got a constant flow of new metal (and I don’t mean nue metal) and it’s awesome. My current favorite band that I’ve picked up is Amon Amarth. Satan from #fazed on irc.fazed.org describes them as “Viking metal at it’s finest” and I have to agree!

The 1994 assault weapons ban expired today, making it legal for Americans to purchase weapons that are classed as “assault weapons”.

Just like they could before it expired.

Dear Adam,

I’m not really a big fan of Sam Adams, but that shitty liquor store by your house has such a terrible selection that it was either that or Boulevard Wheat, and I was tired of that. While I agree that Sam Adams is no Frambozen I have to point out that you normally drink Michelob Ultra and seem to enjoy it. This invalidates any opinion on beer you might have.
