Basically..... at least that is what they are trying to do here..... and the moustached cop actually looks like the type of cops that do that stuff too! |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:16am
Chuck:
Must not be many songs that actually use the word "immigration" or "immigrant" in the title. So, Meghan? | |

evening Meghan and all... history from the Antipodes, pursuant to Van Diemen's Land - it's the home of the only successful genocidal program in human history (but they don't like to talk about it much down there) | |
|

Thu. 6/14/12 6:26am
Meghan:
I am still waiting for my dress to arrive! Evening Ausmanx! Isn't that always the case when it comes to genocide.... |

I believe the Smurfs theme tune was subliminally all about immigration issues and stuff | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:29am
ausmanx:
i guess one would we scared by someone proud of genocide, but at least some acknowledgement of historical mistakes would be good... Australia ain't so good at that | |

Thu. 6/14/12 6:36am
Dave B:
Pictures a plenty will be posted. I'm trying to see if I can put together a kit to stream some video too. More infos next week | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:37am
ausmanx:
fred, there are no more Tasmanian aborigines, I'm afraid. it's a literally successful genocide, an entire genetic race exterminated (deliberately). | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:38am
pierre:
It'll be like being part of that. i wanted to take pictures when Brian Turner came in Paris, but he has done that, and now it's on Facebook, i have to see if i can grab them. | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:38am
ausmanx:
anyway, bugger genocide, let's dance! | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:38am
Chuck:
Pictures will be needed! I'm having difficulty visualizing Meghan in a dress.... | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:40am
Dave B:
Kinda like the skeeball video thing I tried. I need to pick up a mobile hotspot to make it happen | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:44am
Dave B:
Nick, just watch that video I shared with Meghan over and over. No acid required | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:44am
ausmanx:
any songs about bugging and phone-tapping for next week? that would be a good 21st century aspect... | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:45am
Chuck:
You'd also have to change the tablet the Satue of Liberty is holding... | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:47am
ausmanx:
the Statue of Liberty is an immigrant! | |

Thu. 6/14/12 6:47am

Tasmos gone. OK. | |

We built this city! We built this city on ROCK AND ROLL!!!! | |

Thu. 6/14/12 6:48am
pierre:
we kind of send it to you, to have one smaller upside a bridge in Paris. | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:48am
pierre:
Oh… Aznavour. | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:49am
fred von helsing:
The Statue of Liberty is the kind of immigrant we want. Basically virtuous but arguably kinda slutty lookin' in a retro-decadent European way. | |

Thu. 6/14/12 6:49am
Meghan:
Nick saw that video with me yesterday! |

What we really need is a wall to keep stupid people out... | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:51am
ausmanx:
pierre, every time I'm in Paris, i hear this Manu Chao song EVERYWHERE I go. is that normal, is it HUGE there? | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:54am
Daveed:
@ Chuck What about the stupid people who are here already? | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:55am
Dave B:
The prophecy of "Idiocracy" shall be fulfilled | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:55am
Chuck:
I would suggest the genocide thing, but it isn't needed. Stupid people usually end up doing something so incredably stupid that it kills them anyway... | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 6:58am
pierre:
@ausmanx : when the album came out, in 1998, it was a massive sucess. Manu Chao, is still considered a famous french / spanish singer, being part of the Mano Negra before going solo. So i guess a lot of places, bars, restaurant, would play his music quite often. I must confess that having heard him quite a lot in my teenage year, i grew a bit tired of him, but i still enjoy a lot of things his done, specially with the Mano Negra :) @ ALL : not so long ago, before we change president, our (now thakfully past) interior minister passed a law that woud "select" student from other countries to come study in France. It was such a shame that a few days later after it got cancelled, dark times France has been through with Nicolas Sarkozy i tell you. | |

Good morning! Great music! how is it the borders you were talking about, don't contain the US military? | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 7:01am
pierre:
@ ausmanx : i just read that it was n°1 in the french charts for almost 200 weeks | |
|
|
♥
Thu. 6/14/12 7:02am
Meghan:
The military can't watch all of the border.... on top of that, there are insane civilians who take law in their own hands and patrol the border themselves.... SCARY!! |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 7:03am
Dave B:
And they have bigger and more guns | |

ausmanx:
ah, that would explain it, pierre. amazing. the theme this week is good for me at work, meghan... which is where i listen to FMU; i do subtitles for the chinese news every week in Australia | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 7:04am

Frijolero is apparently a made-up word. | |

Thu. 6/14/12 7:42am
Magda:
@ Pierre - It's been a while since I looked at my swag list. So I can't really know for sure what I get or what I won. It's always a surprise. Last year I didn't know I won a dubstep compilation. I didn't know I was in the running for one. I was like, well Christmas came early this early. | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 7:44am
Davice:
You could do a Bird theme and include chickens? | |
|
Thu. 6/14/12 7:44am

@ Magda : it happened to my girlfriend with a Big Blood LP ! how happy i was after she gave it to me ! | |

Thu. 6/14/12 7:45am
Meghan:
Davice, if only they waited a day! They could have had a soundtrack for it! I actually pulled this theme together for a show I did in Berlin! Did a bird theme already... but not one that is just chickens.... |
