The S-Train Canvass: Thy rod and thy staff...: "About 1:25am EST on October 8th, I awoke to the sound glass breaking. It wasn't that drinking glass-breaking sound. It sounded like a window breaking. I proceeded into the family room (where I heard the sound). I peeked around the entrance and there is this guy just standing there looking around. Then I see another guy coming through the broken window. And then I noticed that the first guy is carrying a gun. Now I'm thinking at warp speed to myself, 'Should I announce my presence or should I shoot?'. But thinking about my family (wife and 7-month old downstairs, my 5 and 4 year old upstairs) won out. I quickly stepped out from where I was hiding and fired at the man with the gun approx. 10 feet away. He fell to the ground. I then pointed my shotgun at the broken window and I could see someone running away."

Forbes.com: Is Sex Necessary?: "Fans of abstinence had better be sitting down. 'Saving yourself' before the big game, the big business deal, the big hoedown or the big bakeoff may indeed confer some moral benefit. But corporeally it does absolutely zip. There's no evidence it sharpens your competitive edge. The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it's harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, be you male or female. (This assumes that you are engaging in sex without contracting a sexually transmitted disease.) "

COMMENTS: "The show was really good. Loud,but not too loud to where I'm deaf this morning. Imagine the Ronettes/Phil Spector and the Wall of Sound vs Jesus and Mary Chain.

The did a cover of Eddie Cochran's 'C'mon Everybody,' which was thoroughly Raveonetted to being nearly an original.

They have a fantastic sound. Some Link Wray, Dick Dale, Phil Spector, garage, Jesus and Mary Chain, oldies-rock all thrown in."
THE RAVEONETTES INTERVIEW: "CM: So why do you limit your writing and recording so much? (No hi-hat or cymbals, all songs in B minor, no more than 3 chords per song, no more than 3 minutes)

SF: Actually it came about because Sune was traveling around the States in ’99. He kind of got fed up with living in L.A. for quite a while. He was really tired of the whole music scene in L.A. and New York. He went out and listened to a lot of bands and I think he just had a reaction to that whole sound at that time. He wanted to just be really simplistic again and go back to basics in a way. At first it was a reaction and it wasn’t like he sat down and wrote down all of these rules. It kind of became apparent to him a while after he had been writing all of these songs. He was like, “Wow, I’m writing in the same key and they all have the same chords.” He just really wanted the simplicity. It was a reaction towards over produced, pathetic music (laughs) and pretentious maybe. Then it became like a game for us. When we started recording it was like, “Hey, let’s do it different. Let’s try and not do the typical thing. Let’s try to not have a hi-hat.” Then it was just a really interesting thing during that creative process of making the album. We had to find sounds from something else. We had to find that high-end sound from other things. So we have a lot of percussion and metal banging a lot of times. That’s why I think that even though it’s recorded in such a simple way, it has this huge sound to it that gives it that “wall of sound” sound. Though it’s totally different from the way that Phil Spector would make a wall of sound with tons of musicians and three drummers…this is like really basic. There’s like some sampled drums, two guitars and a bass. So it’s really simple, but it has that full sound.

CM: And of course when things are that stripped down, you can’t hide. If the song’s not there, you have nothing.

SF: (laughs) Oh, yes. We draw back from the great songs of Buddy Holly."

Deinsea: "On 5 June 1995 an adult male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) collided with the glass façade of the Natuurmuseum Rotterdam and died. An other drake mallard raped the corpse almost continuously for 75 minutes. Then the author disturbed the scene and secured the dead duck. Dissection showed that the rape-victim indeed was of the male sex. It is concluded that the mallards were engaged in an ‘Attempted Rape Flight’ that resulted in the first described case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard."
