Merry Crimbo and a Happy New Year =D

(To be honest, that's all I have to say... but I'm gonna keep typing useless stuff to make it at least LOOK as though i'm interesting)

We're approaching the end of 2006; I'm going up to Dundee for New Year; the new FinChap album is getting closer and closer to being released...
I think it's safe to say life is good =D

But let's just time-out for a second and consider a few things:
James Brown, godfather of soul and musical genius, died at around 7am on Christmas morning. Last footage of him up and around, was three days before his death, promoting toys to put smiles on children's faces. He kept going until the end - The best way to go. He will be sorely missed.
Although Christmas/New Year is a time for giving and peace and happiness... It wont stop those megalomanic B-things(seven letters, taboo... use the imagination =D) up top from making profit out of it, at any cost. As Julian Casablancas of The Strokes bluntly put it through his lyrics to "Ize of the World":
"A desk to organize,
A product to advertize,
A market to monopolize,
Movie stars to idolize..."
How dangerously close we are to:
"Weapons to synchronize,
Cities to vapouri-"

Sure, it's not particularly happy, but it's a warning. In simpler terms, watch out.

Anyway, I'm off to prepare to end 2006 in style. See yous.
