    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    There is this big shiny thing in the sky called the sun. We can get a shitload of energy from that without having to pick it up 400.000 kilometers away

    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    I don't deny the importance of researching space. I don't deny the importance of researching anything.

    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    I understand your desire to want to live in Star Wars more then in the real world. I'm also glad that most politicians don't share that dream.

    What Turns You Off Bands, Non-Musicwise?

    Well, can you really blame that on the band? I mean, does someone become a fan of Slipknot and goes on to be "metal" all of a sudden or the other way around? Or at the same time?

    What Turns You Off Bands, Non-Musicwise?

    Hating on other bands. Hipster bands are especially good at this, but the whole "the music we made is better then everything that THOSE people made ever" is something I just can't stand. Being arrogant I can take, it can even be kind of funny (see The Hives). But bitchin' at your colleagues is...

    The best bands nobody seems to have heard of?

    Speck Mountain. They are a band that make gorgeous soul/space rock-ish music. It's hard to label, but it is incredibly beautiful and ridiculously relaxing. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkLjwz3vtRM

    Catherine?s Soundtrack Renaissance

    Grim Fandango's Soundtrack needs to be mentioned too. It's the only game soundtrack I have in full on my iPod. It consists mostly of tiny snippets of bigband and bossa nova, but is it ever great. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb1X7nIT0k4
