Flux Capacitor?!

Alright,

I'm sure you can imagine what our rehearsals are like. Have you seen Fight Club? Do you remember the opening scenes of V for Vendetta? Remember the lobby scene in The Matrix? Great, because they have nothing to do with our rehearsals (aside from a quotation here and there) but I'm glad you have seen these films or at least know the names now.

I digress. ADD. The fun disorder. The fresh maker? No. Anyway, allow me to paint a moment from our most recent rehearsal. Machine kicks into the second half of this really sweet tune whose name I am sure you will love when we debut it later this year. Man From Nowhere starts grooving over him creating an atmosphere of sound as well as keeping time. Everything stops.

Music nerd alert:

MFN and Machine start discussing the mathematics of putting a 3/4 time signature over the 7/4 time signature of that section. Feel free to do the math. This sentence as well as the preceding one are merely fluff assuming you took a moment to multipy up to 21 then broke down how many times each musician has to loop before they meet on the same down beat (7 and 3 respectively).

Uber nerd alert:

Meanwhile, Dirka and I broke into a discussion on time travel. That's right, time travel. I'm not sure how such a discussion starts but there we were discussing how time travel had been theoretically proven. I logically disagree with the theory despite loving the idea of time travel (particularly the Back to the Future movies). Dirka explained that the theory argued that time can be stretched and that if one could move fast enough then certain laws of time were irrelevant. I however refuted this, reasoning that no matter how infinitesimal the interval of time we stretch/manipulate, time would keep pace with whatever motion you make. Mainly being that speed is a measure of time and space. The function for stretching time (seconds > milliseconds > nanoseconds) would be equivalent to 'limit of 1 over x, as x goes to infinity'. Even then time would only seem to stand still. I doubt there is a particular speed of racing toward infinity that would make time seem to reverse. (Sidenote: I love the concept of infinity.)

Just as I was about to completely scissor kick the nail in the coffin I got a phone call. Turns out Doc Brown is alive!! And he's in 1855!! This is heavy!!

Welcome the King...

Finally! Berendth has come back to the interwebs.

Behold!! They let me speak. Who is "they"? Who cares? The "They Who Say" which will one day be the name of a band. A band I will demand credit for naming. A few things: I am a fan of talking in third person. I may not always do it (clearly) but it will happen more than you like possibly. As well, i'm a fan of elipses... don't know where I was going with that. Lastly, I really respect a talented bad guy. Soooo sometimes I don't mind them winning (especially in movies).

Mind The Brain: We just released our first single on July 5th. Just laid down guitar bass and scratch vocals on the next single. Check it out on mindthebrainband.com or the Facebook page or the Myspace page.

Beyond the Brain: If you watched ESPN this past week, you would have believed that time stood still until 9:30pm EST Thursday when Lebron James announced that he would play his next season with the Miami Heat. But really? Is there NOTHING else going on in the world right now? Oil spill? Nuclear Iran? Nothing? Really? That would be a story in itself "in other news, there is none. As in, nothing is going on right now and it is baffling. What are you up to? How have you been? What are you wearing? Give us a call."

Same thing: Dear Today Show, Lindsay Lohan going to jail for 90 days is NOT a catastrophe nor is it newsworthy. At least not more than a 90 second segment possibly even with one of those phone polls. "Do you think this is too harsh or tough love?" Besides, LiLo's not even going to be in the general population, she'll be isolated. She'll be fine. Honestly, she's not going to get rehabilitated until she wants to be. (Or until her money dries up, whichever comes first.) So flip a coin and decide if she'll sink or swim when she gets out then move on to the next story.

That said, we could focus on stories that are relevant to you, me or the average human being. Priorities?! We could give celebrity news/gossip the proper (albeit minuscule) amount of attention and actually work to make our own lives rich and fulfilling rather than following those we deem celebrities. Just saying, this is what we could do.

Screw that let's TMZ it up. Add Mind the Brain to your list of things to follow. Feel free to spend WAY more time than you should on them (err... us). Me... I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty much useless as a... well... anything until the World Cup is over. Also, I'm taking the opinions of cephalopods way more heavily as of late. Viva la Dutch!
