Just in . . . From Kerrang

We've mentioned it on Kerrang.com already, but we can now confirm that the band you thought you'd never see again will be making the announcement you thought you'd never hear on K.com, Kerrang! TV and Ugly Phil's breakfast show on Kerrang! 105.2 FM next Tuesday (7 December) at 9am.

delfino - if eating chocie is bad for you then you should go back you using chocie for that which it was intended....

smearing over the bodies of nice perdy lil' girlies and munchin' if off..

Zen, Uzeb is/was French-Canadian sooo, we have to stick up for them... I will grant that their brand of fusion was a little redundant BUT, it was local and all we had except at jazz festival time.

i have been soooooooooooooooo busy after thanxgiving break....its not cool.

but since zenfish has created a language which only the brave dare to interpret, I have coined the term 'zenglish'; which is the official language of Zenfish land.

would love to catch up sometime ;)

ZENFISH- Yeah, Just show's You how much I know! actually, I was thinking more of today's Rocker's, Who grew up with VH1-and 2 and MTV, The television show's. Many Young guitarist's Don't know untill they are told, or unless they are really enlightened, About Rchie Blackmore, and other's-American's that is!...Much less the "old" deep purple, Jimi, They know!...I think it must be a mindset?................................CLARKY- Right On! very cool! BTW I notice that many home studio's, and Fulltime big Studio's run A "fixed" EQ on many of there recording's unless, requested by another engineer, or By someone in the band That's being recored. And there are regulated frequenceies That are strandard?...I have heard that 3: 1 ratio is good for power guitars, and I have been playing around in that area 3:1 @ 2::3-1- around there, and then bringing up the entire singnal for A real overall punchy mix, power guitar's(overdriven) I think are 4-5 hz EQ response?...And drum's-2-3>..Anyway I am really experimenting with EQ and commression! It seem's that that has everything to do with How Tight one's recording's are?...Am I right?..................................DannyK- Hey how's it going? sound's like You have been having A lot of fun! and are venturing off into new ground! Good Luck! and best wishes!............................PETE MULAS- Hi! Steven here!(ATN) How are You doing? glad to see You stop By! Hope all is going well! and that You get that resolved out with Your Music! Buzzy Linhart to this day has People 'Ripping off His original work, Because they know it was big, And claiming that it's there's! So much as to get it PUBLISHED! How do You like them apples?...Stay cool and thank's for stopping and saying Hi!..............................I suppose None of You out there ever experianced 'keychange setting' and click keyboard function's> Hold down 'enter' for 5 click's, then the keyboard types more or less normaly? I have never saw this fuction? I wish I could switch it off! I don't know what I hit to start this awkward setting? Take care All

Steven- the contracts still haven't been exchanged on the house, looks like it's all being strung out as long as possible.... our estate agent has lied so many times it's hard to tell what IS the truth any more. Anyway, there was a little tiny hope that we could possibly move before Christmas, that's not looking too good now unfortunately. If we exchange contracts in the next few days (IF IF IF) then it's looking more like early January now..... :-(

Nearly Half of Britons Unaware of Auschwitz -Poll

LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly half of Britons in a poll said they had never heard of Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp in southern Poland that became a symbol of the Holocaust and the attempted genocide of the Jews.

The results of the survey conducted by the BBC were released on Thursday as Britain's public broadcaster announced it will show a new series next January to mark the 60th anniversary of the concentration camp's liberation.

"We were amazed by the results of our audience research," said Laurence Rees, a producer on the series, "Auschwitz: The Nazis & the 'Final Solution."'

"It's easy to presume that the horrors of Auschwitz are engrained in the nation's collective memory, but obviously this is not the case," Rees said.

The survey found that 45 percent of those surveyed had not heard of Auschwitz. Historians estimate that anywhere from one million to three million people, about 90 percent of them Jews, were killed there.

Among women and people younger than 35, 60 percent had never heard of Auschwitz, despite the recent popularity of films such as "Schindler's List," "Life is Beautiful" and "The Pianist," which depict the atrocities of the Holocaust.

"The name Auschwitz is quite rightly a byword for horror, but the problem with thinking about horror is that we naturally turn away from it," Rees said.

The BBC said the research was based on a nationally representative postal survey of 4,000 adults 16 and older.

The broadcaster is marking Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, with a variety of television and radio programs.

Clarky: I think the thing I like best about Python is that they'll make a bad pun, and then immediatley yell at themnselves about how stupid the pun was! For ex in holy grail "...it says the castle uggggggg.....he must have died.." "come on, he sat there and wrote that" haha!

DannyK: Congrats man! I hope you hit the big time! Do you get to rip in this band, or is it more of a traditional side man gig?
