AS Standards III: People I’d Like to Quote in Religious Studies Essays… and Really Shouldn’t.

8 May

I’m not sure which of the following I’ve already talked about, but I had to take an extended arm-break from revision this evening so I’m doing it the YouTube way:

1) “Not only is it, erm, erm, how do you say… right.” Bye bye Augustinian theodicy!

“… As a punishment for having a sort of schizophrenic discourse with a god who was created by man to explain the existence of feet in the absence of the knowledge of the existence of Tony.” Bye, er, any of my previously held religious beliefs?

 

2) Can I just copy and paste this into every answer ever please? (my bet is he was all for the Tory/Lib Dem coalition.)

 

3) “You only need to pray in a particular spot to a particular version of a particular god.” ‘Amen to that’ is the only response I can think of right now…

“He’s largely undiverted by the starving masses, or the inequality between the various classes…” Hello, problem of evil and suffering. Ah, Mackie’s Inconsistent Triad, how are you this evening?

 

4) This may or may not be about religion but I mostly like how it sounds.

 

5) “Isn’t this enough?” Hey, Richard Dawkins.

“Wow, that’s a good point, let me think for a bit. Oh wait my mistake that’s absolute bullshit.” Hey, teleological argument (it’s okay, I’m doing the cosmological argument. It’s got Ways).

 

6) Because it’s time to bring back the shameless MCR references (having just read the post back I think Aquinas helped jog my memory).

 

7) This is actually just about school in general, and the only bit that’s relevant to school is 9:30-10:30, but the rest, incidentally, is also hilarious (and quite true).

 

I’ve mentioned MCR, Tim Minchin and Ezra Miller in one almost-constructive post. Hallelujah.

(Okay now that’s reminded me of this and now I’ve kind of also included something about being queer… my job is done, and anyone who got through this post in less than forty minutes, videos and all, gets to guest-blog.)

Europian Music! Specifically, Caro’s Back!

21 Apr

HMV sent me an email saying it’s out of administration, and it had better stock The Shocking Miss Emerald or it might go back…

 

Tip: go with the accordion player, Maria, he looks very content.

Actually drafted this post a week ago, and was told later in the day that I look like Caro. Not going to complain; she has very impressive hair.

Literally a Filler Post

14 Apr

I’ve got the distinct feeling that somewhere about my person/computer/bedroom there is a very funny picture of something inappropriate but witty, and that said picture wants nothing more than to be Internet-ised.

Only problem is, I can’t for the life of me think what it is I’ve been meaning to post.

Let’s just listen to Dusty Springfield.

 

How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Steal Other People’s Titles

14 Mar

It’s here. My ears are coming off.

From the Kickstarted PDF in yer face

From the Kickstarted PDF in yer face

(I might come back and talk music when I’ve glued my ears back on. All I’ve got so far is that your parents will hate them almost as much as your mum loves Fifty Shades.)

Oh, and WordPress wants me to tag ‘Crust punk’.

M$I Therapy

12 Mar

I can’t remember if I’ve waved this in your faces yet but the new record should turn up pretty soon, so let’s enjoy a dose of reality in anticipation:

It’s a good thing we’re already accustomed to our ugliness, huh.

“In the middle of a snowwy evening…” Oh Nevermind

21 Jan

I haven’t written a response to the Internet Complaints Commission post (as it shall be known from now on), partly because I’d like to take my time and partly because I’m hoping some more of you will comment with your complaints. So in the mean time I think I’d like to share a song about something we could all do with.

 

While you’re all pondering the loveliness of my choice/the Internet complaint of your choice, I will be listening to this… which is a song about something we’d love other people to say, methinks.

Happy Almost-Birthday, Jesus

24 Dec

Merry Christmas, snowflakes.

 

Original, slightly clearer version, with a blog-rant by Tim here.

 

Mishty and I haven’t finished #ProjectSnowflake yet, but the original is here.

 

“As in previous years, all proceeds from the sale of this song during the month of December 2012 will go to the National Autistic Society (NAS).” Head over to iTunes, Amazon or 7digital to do something simultaneously nice and legal.

 

Who needs Mariah when you have Gerard, anyway?

 

…And who needs actual songs when you have Tobi?

When WordPress lets SoundCloud embed like it ought, I’ll do a SoundCloud jam blog. Until then, xmas sux.

Happy birthday, Jesus!

 

Life is Sometimes Not So Simple…

28 Nov

If I ever become famous, infamous, slightly more well-known that I am today or bored with just blogging, I will make videos like this:

 

Happy paying.

Oh, and it seems lots of people liked my wee forray into the world of publishing. I’d love to be all “watch this space for more work!” but the last five times I’ve tried that in posts, said space has shrunk to a size similar to that of the UK’s dry land. One day, snowflakes, one day…
