The Kleptones - A Night at the Hip Hopera

Album-of-the-week: 9-29-04

I’ve been lax on this front lately, but I am listening to this phenomenal album for the second time, and it inspires me to write this.

The End of the World

Here’s an interesting article/essay on the end of the world, and predictions thereof.

Even in the years before 2000, and accounting for religious and non-religious prophecies (Y2K), the neo-doomsday chorus has never been louder than right now. Is it all the buildup to some contrived mega-fright?
