LINKIN PARK AND JAY-Z ON A COLLISION COURSE


Linkin Park is proud to announce Jay-Z / Linkin Park: Collision Course, a new two disc CD/DVD to be released on November 30th.
Back on July 18, 2004 Jay-Z and Linkin Park got together at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood to do a combined performance in front of a select group of Linkin Park fans and Jay-Z fans. Linkin Park and Jay-Z got on stage together and performed a series of songs "mashed" together where Linkin Park lyrics were laced over Jay-Z's beats and vice versa. Mash-ups included Numb/Encore, Izzo/In the End, Dirt off Your Shoulder/Lying from You, and many more.

The Collision Course DVD contains the Roxy performance plus a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of the collaboration, from their first introductions to recording to performance. The CD features studio recordings of the same song combinations that were preformed live that night.

Also included is the broadcast version of MTV ULTIMATE MASH-UPS, which is set to premiere on MTV on November 10, 2004 at 10:30 PM (eastern & pacific).

Yeay EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP!!!! Set your damn clocks back so you won't be pissin yourself when you show up for work or school an hour early when you could've been wet dreamin....

Well, straigh off Suprnova is an album by one kickass group: Scissor Sisters! They are from teh UK so they are more popular there but their single "Laura" was showcased on the Media Player Music Feature. Their sounds sorta remind me of classic late 80s early nineties pop that my sister used to listen to. Is this genre coming back casue I noticed the Killer's CD has those kinds of sounds too!

Gâyatrî Mantra

OM BHUR BHUVAH SVAH
TAT
SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI
DHIYO YONAH
PRACHODAYAT

We meditate on the glory of the Creator

Who has created the Universe

Who is worthy of Worship

Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light

Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance

May He enlighten our Intellect

The beautiful rhythmic patterns, soothing ancient sounds and powerful intent make the Gâyatrî Mantra a magnificent part of daily spiritual practice.
The Gâyatrî Mantra combines the effects of mantric sound with the effects of a deep and profound prayer, resulting in a combination which is exceedingly potent.
As with all spiritual practices, this is a vehicle for intent. The stronger and greater the intent, the stronger and greater the results.
Spiritual progress does not succeed merely by means of intellectual reasoning or theoretical arguments, but rather by direct experience. If you would like a deeper understanding of the Gâyatrî Mantra, it is well and good that you should begin with an intellectual understanding of the words and the intent, but that is only a preliminary step leading to your own direct experience of That Which is beyond words.

Ah my first picture post! Welcome to Blogpagation! Why did I call my blog this? well after finding out what a dman blog is (which I think is pretty cool) I thought, this would be something I would definately use over and over again. I have never kept a journal so I plan on keeping this up as long as I can... hopefully until I take it to the grave, or at least until computers are obsolete and these some other miracle techonology that replaces the internet (imagine!). So since this will be a record of my thoughts, reflections on my past and predictions of my future, everything on here requires me to use my brain - actually everything in my life requires my brain - and since senses, thoughts, emotions, or almost any other biological process relies the on the propagation of action potentials along nerves of the nervous system, how appropriate for me to call it blogpagation (a propagation of blogs - genius eh?) that's the geek to the max of in me. Hence, for my first post I find it appropriate to have a pic of my family - a sanctuary of unconditional love and security! Without them, I think I would be much worse off thus far in life. I am especially thankful and greatful of my parents for all of their LOVE and providing me with shelter, good ol' home cookin' , nice clothes, education and most importantly - LIFE!! from left to right - Steve (brother in law), Caren (sister), mum, dad, and me- the hottest guy in town! This was taken at Christina's wedding (2003), Caren's best friend.
