a little antagonisitic quote for your consideration

A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students. -- John Ciardi

Marcos is back in P.O.D. - JA JA RIGHT ON!

So in the "where the hell have you been" column, I just read in the Wikipedia (someone else's favorite site *wink) submission for P.O.D. that Marcos Curiel has indeed rejoined the band. This is ironic as I've been lately rediscovering my adolescent rap rock music collection, and picking up more albums to boot. I'm more of a "traditional" rock guy, but I've pretty much worn the classic rock knob off my radio, so its time to return to something more contemporary. I've picked up POD's Greatest Hits, which really covers what you'd expect, but brings me back to why Marcos left. So at the time, I was really buzzin on POD; I mean Satellite completely kicked ass cover to cover, and then the dude picks up and leaves. W-hierd. And then the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack comes out, on which POD submitted "Sleeping Awake". Really sub-par in my opinion, completely crap compared to "School of Hard Knocks" on the Little Nicky soundtrack, not coincidentally with Marcos. Anyways, he's back and I think it's exactly what the band needs. Band, genre, and modern rock in general. Have you listened to modern rock lately? Its crap, full of Nickelback and even crazier bands that have no bite whatsoever. In fact, most modern rock stations still play tunes from 5 years ago. Not a good sign for sure. We'll have to see what the future bears, but I won't hold my breath.

As for that Greatest Hits album, it pisses me off that SoHK was left off, really bugs me since they fill it with other new album submissions that really don't float my boat. Supposedly Testity had some good songs on it like "Goodbye for Now", but I'm not really sold. Just not the same w/o Marcos, so hopefully they return to that place.

Some other discs I've picked up recently are Live's Greatest Hits and Linkin Park Live in Texas. Good stuff.

Hilarious...and yet truly shameful

"The field split on another issue, with Brownback, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo raising their hands when moderator Chris Matthews asked who did not believe in evolution."

I just don't get it, I literally have to FIGHT to respect the Republican party...
