I can’t recall seeing any concert event this big since Woodstock, which was “half a million strong,” remember? Well, 500,000 fans saw Genesis play a free, open-air concert in Rome’s historic Circo Massimo last July. It was at the end of their European tour after [...]

Rhino Records has been my favorite record label for years. Those same zany folks offer their fantastic catalog and bizarre sense of humor online, and serve up all their latest music and video in CD, DVD, digital downloads, and of course, their awesome box sets.
Now they’re sharing their best video clips on YouTube on [...]
Today we honor Blessed Pope John XIII (died 1963). Born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli to an Italian peasant family, he was ordained as a priest in 1904, and was secretary to the bishop of Bergamo from 1904 to 1914, during which he wrote the basis for his five-volume biography of Saint Charles Borromeo.

As mentioned in a previous post, Lisa and I just returned from our honeymoon in Italy: almost three full weeks of hiking, sightseeing, riding the rails, and of course, eating! Our first week in Italy was spent far north, hiking in the Dolomites. Hiking up there bore little resemblance to hiking in the States, due to the presence of rifugios — overnight “huts” that free overnight hikers from having to pack bags, tents, food, etc. These “huts” are more like small hotels/taverns that serve f
Dear Gasmii, I am sorry to say that this week's episode chronicling the lives of our valiant, fighter, wannabes left me SHOCKED. Completely, SHOCKED by the boorish, violent, and crude behavior of some of the little guys. Who would have thunk that alcoholic punks would behave so badly when locked in a testosterone ridden house and supplied with a never ending stream of alcohol. Seriously, mix these guys with the Rock of Love girls and they could spawn an entire new tequila sucking, mud wrestlin
It’s gotta be tough predicting the future, via psychic means, that is. I mean surely, the further out into the future you try predicting, the more hazy the future must become. No wonder so many prophets use coded language like quatrains to try and describe what they’re seeing. It’s because they’re not really sure what they’re seeing in the first place. It’s no different than trying to gaze over long distances, where two objects standing next to each other may appear to be one. And so undoubted
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.” - Cicero, 55 BC (via email from my dad) (via whatson)
“The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said this while another said that. ”Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ”The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.’ ”Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and th

Reports said Madonna was not so nice when Robyn was on tour with her. Robyn responded on her MySpace blog: "Seeing that a lot has been reported about my experience of being on tour with Madonna in the press, I feel like I have to tell it like it is! So with my own words, here I go: I got a chance to go on tour with Madonna in Europe and like any one who’s been a fan of her since the age of ten I was super exited. Contrary to what you might have read elsewhere its been FUN! I’ve played to M
One could argue that Iraq would ultimately be better off with open markets, but at the time the greatest need was to simply get things working again.- Review of Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone The Bush Administration is playing it's usual ideological games while Rome burns (it played the same kind of games while Baghdad burned*). Paul Krugman blogs about the communique arising out of the meeting of G7 finance ministers in Washington DC:And here it is. My initial take

When we talk about “gnarly boots” and gettin’ down and dirty, this is what we are talking about. “Core snowboard brand, Rome SDS, has teamed up with Consolidated Skateboards to create a premium boot with a subversive agenda. Though the approach is playful, the issue is not to be taken lightly. Consolidated Skateboards first launched the Don’t Do It Army in 1997 to keep big sporting goods brands out of the skateboard industry, and now, together with Rome SDS, they are bringing the campaign in

Label disappointment October 10th, 2008 — , Sonoma Scent Studio Updates from Laurie @ Perfume in Progress I received my labels today but have to send them back on Monday because the die-cut was off-center so the borders are all different widths. I’m so disappointed; I’d been looking forward to these. The borders on the top and right sides are much smaller than on the left and bottom, which looks silly. [...] Related Store
