Beatallica Repost

Been a while. These guys mix Beatles songs with Metallica songs, and they're pretty kewl.

Just reminded of this by the webmaster for their site, who appreciated the linkage (which was, you know, like two years ago), who finally acknowleged the attention. He says he doesn't agree with "everything" on this site (by which he means "anything") but notes, truthfully, that moptop-metal unites all.

Fun stuff. I forget what my favorites were. Right now I'm digging on "Sandman," which is just a mash-up of Taxman and Enter Sandman, and fucking hysterical. (Especially the unedited version. It just has the f-word in it. No big deal if you read this site.)

I should also say that I was turned on to Beatallica by the great JackM of Desolation Row.

I don't really want to start the whole evolution-ID fight again (unless, of course, a lot of people post on it and thereby boost my hits), but he sends this link about an ID/evolution debate. He highlights this quote:

One particularly interesting guy is Michael Ruse, who, despite being a fellow atheist, cannot stand the likes of Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, and said during the panel, "Until we evolutionists reach out to understand what motivates people on the other side, we're going to lose. And we bloody well deserve to."

Well, I think what "motivates people" is a non-negotiable, non-finessable fundamental disagreement on the origins of life. However, to the extent the heat in the debate can be reduced, it might help for evolutionists to not be so friggin' condescending all the time.

"For Horseman:" Another good one. For No One was always a good song, but it was a little, well, pussy-shit with those sad lyrics and the mournful French horn. Better done as angry speed-metal, combined with Four Horsemen, featuring ballsier lyrics like "Your girlfriend takes you to a lame-ass poser Winger concer, fuckin' forget her."
