Speaking of ravers, I found the world’s best raver dedication site. The Official Raver Homepage is an absolutely sick ass website that apparently speaks the raver gospel.  I’m having a hard time discribing all the lulz I’m getting reading this, so let the site’s ‘testimonial’ section do the talking for me.

Ravers can roll anywhere they want!  Ravers make cuddle puddles ALL the time and don’t even think twice about it.  These guys are so crazy and awesome that they take E ALL the time.  I heard that there was this Raver who was eating at a diner.  And when some dude dropped a spoon the Raver smeared Vicks on the whole town.  My friend Mary said that she saw a Raver totally massage some kid just because the kid was peaking.

And that’s what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don’t believe that Ravers have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will give you light shows!!!  It’s an easy choice, if you ask me.

Ravers are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants.  I can’t believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart.  These guys are totally awesome and that’s a fact.  Ravers are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, drugged up, and sweet.  I can’t wait to start listening to Happy Hardcore next year.  I love Ravers with all of my body (including my pee pee).

This is why MDMA is illegal, because if we could get E over the counter I would have to listen to dudes like this 24/7.  Hmm, I wonder what I’m going to do for Synthesis Drug of the Week…

Earlier Alisse posted Beck’s new video. Well, not to be outdone, I’ve decided to putt the infamous In Rainbows card and bring you Radiohead’s newest release ‘House of Cards’. The video was shot with lasers, because apparently you can do that. I’m a firm believer that Thom Yorke has invented all viral marketing campaigns and all relevant new technology in the last 20 years, but that’s just me.

The video for Radiohead’s “House of Cards,” made without the use of conventional cameras, finally debuted today. Zoo Films, who directed the clip, used two different camera-less technologies to create the video. If you ask us, the whole thing looks like The Lawnmower ManRoboCop 2, but it’s still pretty cool. To make matters even cooler, the band will make all the data compiled to create the images available to fans, allowing Radiohead die-hards who know how to manipulate such information to make their own versions of the In Rainbows song. “I always like the idea of using technology in a way that it wasn’t meant to be used, the struggle to get your head round what you can do with it. I liked the idea of making a video of human beings and real life and time without using any cameras, just lasers, so there are just mathematical points — and how strangely emotional it ended up being,” Thom Yorke said.

Admittedly, when I first saw the words “Speedo LZR,” I thought it was an abbreviation for “speedo loser.” As it turns out, in the world of competitive swimming, this space-aged suit is the polar opposite. (And yes, I just used the term “space age” without a hint of irony. Boner).

According to the Science of Sport blog, on its first professional outing, the swimmer with the Speedo LZR broke the world record…by two entire body lengths. Then the Women’s Dutch 4 x 200m relay team, equipped with the Speedo LZR, beat the world record (set 6 years back by China) by 8 seconds. I don’t know jack about professional competitive swimming, but even I know that’s kind of a big deal.

This brings to mind the whole juicing in sports argument: these people train every day for their profession; to be the best athlete, using all the technology available to get every ounce of power…so why not use drugs to further this concept? The problem is that unless everyone is doing the same drugs and has access to the same equipment and training, the competition would be unfair. Plus, you can’t make athletes who are ethically opposed to juicing use the stuff. We’re not living in a Brave new World just yet.

So in the case of the Speedo LZR, it might give the athlete an unfair technological advantage….unless every athlete was using them.

But on the other side of the coin, maybe to make it REALLY fair, they all should just swim naked, original Roman-Greko Olympics style. That would sure make the Women’s backstroke more interesting for me.
