Luc Spiewak's iMedia blog post about a car bomb in Pakistan. He's not surprised at the destruction over there and thinks we should give up our efforts to help the east.
I can agree with you that this picture is both shocking and not shocking at the same time. There are plenty of bad things happening in the east. But sitting back and watching it happen is what we shouldn't be doing.
I disagree with you on the fact that we should "stay the hell out." What good has come from anyone letting things slide? We have pretty good peace in our country, so why can't we help others find the same? Yeah we spend too much money on others, and we should be helping our country instead. But, reconciling others problems will help everyone in the long run.
Chen's iMedia blog on Canon Rock. Basically, we all agree that combining old techniques with new makes a song great.
I have to agree with both Chen and Pat here. The great thing about music is that we have so many combinations and varieties available. Rock and classical? A perfect mix new and old. When an artist adds on to the old stuff and puts their own spin on things, magic happens.
For instance, the band Coheed and Cambria has this awesome mix of classical guitar, violin, and electric guitar. When these two combine, you hear how great it is together. Sure, classical guitar is beautiful enough on its own. But when you add the awesome, new age electric, it creates a surge of even more awesomeness. To sum it all up, music is godly, maybe in ways we don't even know.
