About

We're a geeky group of friends committed to discussing the serious and important issues of the day: domestic policies and liberties, international relations, security, disaster preparation, law, science, art, literature, pirates and the myriad methods by which squids and octopuses mate. Okay, we mostly care about the last two.

Cydonia Nights

The band Muse is slowly growing on me, partially from the radio and partially because their Knights of Cydonia video--one of the most totally ridiculous music videos I've ever seen--indicates a band that has inhaled or injected a little too much fantasticness.

Nonsense! No such thing!
Update: Rishi found a contest to get all 15 movie references in the video here and the director's cut is linked here.

That was awesome! My favorite part is where it says, "Copyright MCMLXXXI". So random!

Saheli:

You write amazing well and about very interesting topics. I frequent your blog time to time, so dropping in a comment should only be courteous.

Lord, how I love that song. Here was my reaction to it back last summer. I'm an idiot. ;)

What a fun video!

The beginning of it reminds me of this simple but hilarious video for Underworld's "King of Snake."
