Jones, Homme, and Grohl

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and John Paul Jones* (Led Zeppelin) have got a new group, Them Crooked Vultures. Their self-titled debut album is due out later this month, but you can listen to the whole thing right now on their YouTube channel.

*JPJ is kinda like a King of the Rock Age, right?

I bet you didn’t realize that “The Matrix” films were just remakes of this Charlie Chaplin silent film from 1905! There are no surviving English-language copies of the film, but this Russian version has surfaced in utterly pristine condition.

ThreatenedVoices.com is

A collaborative mapping project to build a database of bloggers who have been threatened, arrested or killed for speaking out online and to draw attention to the campaigns to free them.

I’m not sure if I’m surprised that there are actually 2 bloggers from the US who have been arrested and released pending trial. The US bloggers are Elisha Strom, who was doing some investigative journalism on a drug task force, and Elliott Madison, who tweeted the impending arrival of police to protesters at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh this past September.

This guy loves his soda pop! He’s a connoisseur of the type you usually find talking about wine or beer. You can tell that he’s excited to get up and go to work every day.

He also makes an interesting political point, saying that every small business owner should be wary of the government. But his reason is not the typical libertarian/selfish reason. Instead, it’s because big business loves big government and vice versa. Small business needs to watch out because government will do all it can to promote big business at the expense of small businesses.

Don’t miss his website, The Soda Pop Stop.
