Do we willingly or subconsciously subscribe to the constant feed of noise to numb ourselves as a means to avoid our own selves? Do we invite TV, music, social networks, and blogs into our home and our mind to not listen to the piercing questions, the legitimate doubts, and the continuous mumbling of self, so we do not have to face inevitable and burning question: Who the fuck am I? What is this

This kid's been to the dentist to get an extra-tooth removed. His dad picked up him up afterwards and had to carry him out. Although, the video itself freaking hilarious, I still wonder, how responsible doctors really handle their drugs at times in this country. I mean this boy is messed up. Especially, around 56 sec. I was like: "Dude, is he on PCP?" - Crazy.Ever since I am in the states, I am

One of my most favorite electro producers will soon release a new album. This is a little older, but still a wonderful track/video. Enjoy!http://www.myspace.com/guiborattogui boratto beatifull life

It happened for the third time today and I am pissed now. While riding my bike on the road to my college, some driver of an automobile scared me on purpose. It's third time within the past 4 weeks something like this happened. Some guy acted as if they'd yield at first and when I accelerate, they'd too.A few other times some stupid moron passed me with his windows open just to scream into my ears

This is my friend Nico (also in The Ocean) from Berlin recording a new album with his band War From A Harlots Mouth. Looking forward to the album.

I was never a fan of Marilyn Manson. Merely due to the fact that I felt he is pretentious and arrogant. Or at least, that's how we portraits himself a lot in his videos and performances. Similarly, I could never really take much out of his music, which essentially rips off the rock dinosaurs of the 1970's like T-Rex, Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, ect... Lot's of glamor, lot's of spectacle ect., and

Man, I love soy milk. Ever since I turned 18, on becoming a full blown vegan straight edge kiddo, I consume this cow milk substitute. Now, even many years after I dropped veganism (for the obligatory cheese pizza) I still am very much a fan and regular consumer of soy milk. After going back to an ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet a couple of years ago, I never really wanted to drink plain milk. For all

Two weeks ago, after spending the afternoon with my in-laws at their weekend house, we pull into this dirt road right next to the Withlacoochee River and find this abandoned dog completely dehydrated and almost starved to death.She was still a puppy, probably half a year old and completely underfed. She had bugs crawling all over her and it seemed that she lived out there in the woods for quite

I was maybe 17 or so when 108 released their phenomenal swansong album "Threefold Misery". On this album, there was this song which blew me straight out of my pants. The passion in the singing, the lyrics, the K.I.L.L.E.R. guitar riff right in the beginning, the straight message, it all made sense to me, it spoke to me like a prayer, it all came together and created a true classic. After all

In recent times I've experienced uncertainty and random confusion. My objectives seem clear and unclear at the same time, which makes it difficult to cope with even the ordinary details of my everyday life. I find it hard to distinguish what matters and what doesn't in my life right now. How serious should I take life's constant way of throwing stones my way.Well, then I heard that one of the

Once again the Chinese government proves its cruel and unrelenting violence towards freedom of speech, right of assembly, and peaceful opposition in Tibet. Similar to the protests in Burma, the buddhist monks started their rallies earlier this week to claim more independence and autonomy in cultural and spiritual affairs.The protests gathered attention with other groups of the population and

Whoever thought that skaters or bmx kids were the only youth subcultures that find unbelievable spots in streets, parks, and on benches, to perform some crazy ass shit, you've just been officially proved wrong. This is it! Capoeira-style-roofball!

Recently during one of my jobs of giving certain tests to pre-school kids to collect research data, I came across a quite smart boy. On top of being smart, he was also still quite young, elaborate, patient and persistent to find a solution to the problems presented embedded in a game-setting.I was a little nosy to find out what his parents occupations are, expecting them to be teachers or similar

I conducted this interview last year for my good friend Lb's Fanzine The Heat. The paper issue has been released in summer 07. Its next issue is in the making. Since it's a good and interesting read as I believe, I wanted to share it with the people that didn't have a chance to read it. Any answers/feedback is welcome.I was a 15 year old kid when I discovered 108s just released phenomenal album “

Sometimes I wonder, how future generations will view this era and phase of mankind. In what political, evolutionary, historical and social context will "The New World Order" be put in let's say one hundred years? How will the world of the late 20th and 21st century be remembered?Will be the ones that will be asked: Why didn't YOU do something, Grandpa? Why did you not speak up Grandma? Will we be

I recently started a new part-time employment at a local After School Program. On the third day of working there, a 8-year old, chubby boy approached me and asked:"Mr. Marc, are you a Counselor?"- me: "Huh? Why?- boy: "Cos you sound like one."- me: "Yes, I am a Counselor. But not here, here I am just a staff-member. Now please go back to your place and finish your math problems."Having worked

"...it seems to me, when I hear you talk Marc, that you came upon great circumstances to either become an alcoholic or a long-distance runner", said my good friend Tim in October, when I told him about my challenges and endured hardship over the transition of moving to a tiny little redneck town in North Florida.I responded, half-way agreeing on what he said and half-way in a sarcastically over
