Ah, the band that VH1 loves to hate.

[QUOTE=Bartender]I'd rather like to study Dante's Inferno, actually. I always wondered how exactly he decided to come up with it the way he did :-/

Samurai course is enough cool for now though, I think.[/QUOTE]

Any study of Dante needs to be accompanied by studies of the works of St. Augustine (City of God), Thomas Aquinas, and probably John Milton (Paradise Lost). BTW, Bartender, there's supposedly a ton of old grimoires that list hellish and heavenly locations and heirarchies from the Middle Ages...do you know if there are any located in England, like in museums or something?

aww we passed my birth year...83

I was about to answer this thread with 'I have two,' meh.

Thought I would join and new thread. And to add something worthwhile to the discussion, anyone in the UK going to Reading festival this year?

[QUOTE=Cain]According to Dante, I don't think homosexuals went in. If they did, it was to the second circle, where the lustful went. They never showed up by name. The only people that were in deeper than murderers were the fraudulent and the traitorous.

Like Cain, oddly enough. :p I think one of the pouches in the ninth circle is reserved for him, or at least it's named after him.

Seriously, the "homos go to hell" thing was an invention gradually made by the church in response to a few choice passages in our wonderfully vague Bible that seemed to say that only a man and woman's union would be respected by God. I don't think the major philosophers that "mapped out" Hell put them there.[/QUOTE]

The drawing I saw had homos on it, I'm pretty certain.

Who's Cain?

Not off the top of my head :-/

I suppose I could ask around. If you can wait a month, my [size=1](attractive, female)[/size] lecturer should know, if anyone does.

I just got a postcard from a girl friend in Amsterdam :cool:

hey thats my last name

Who's Cain?[/QUOTE]

The Cain I named myself after is just an alias used by Jason Bourne in the book "The Bourne Identity."

But the biblical Cain was one of the sons of Adam and Eve, who murdered his brother Abel. The first pouch in the ninth circle of Hell is named Cäina, after him, and it's where the traitors to kin go.

[QUOTE=\m/Pete\m/]hey thats my last name[/QUOTE]

Well, you'd better not tell us your first name then. :p

Otherwise, we'll FIND YOU!

[QUOTE=Bartender]Was it an interesting postcard?[/QUOTE]

The front of it (picture) or the writing? Or both?

Amsterdam looks like it's a busy place, judging from the picture. A lot of lights, cars, and people lining the streets. No obvious signs of drugs being passed around :p

The writing was nice. I hadn't heard from her in awhile.

Sorry. :(

[QUOTE=Cain]Sorry. :([/QUOTE]
Haha, all good fun :p

[QUOTE=Cain]Actually, most people ride bicycles in Amsterdam. [/QUOTE]

I'm going by the picture here :angry:

I wish this postcard was like American postcards, where it says where the location exactly is (i.e. if I was in New York City, I might have the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building descriptions on the reverse) so I could see if any of you across the pond would know of it, but it just says "Amsterdam" on teh front with a bunch of taxis and shoppes with people all over the place at night.

It's rather festive.

Well today has been d[I]a[/I]mn good. I have discovered the greatness of X-Japan and DJ Shadow.

I like doing these Forced Listenings. I'm sad that I didn't do these earlier :(

Dj Shadow is bloody awesome, went to a live show a few months ago.

What does DJ Shadow play?

He kind of kick-started trip-hop with his [i]Endtroducing..[/i] album, but really I think it gets called trip-hop just to save time. When it was reviewed here, the reviewer put the genre as "hip-hop based genre-meld", which comes somewhat closer.

I think it was the first record to be constructed entirely from samples and found sounds; unbelievably meticulous and well-done, and just basically a masterpiece (in most eyes).
