Now a Few Words From Brother Russell

Good morning everyone. I awoke this morning with my subconcious mind still reverberating in my head. The Great Spirit always communicating in dreams. I wanted to share this version of the song "Celebrate" with you. I posted it a couple of days ago, but I took the best part of it and posted it here. It's really amazing to me how the 4 of us can merge musically in a song that we have never played together as a band. I want to thank all of the guys for giving me the space to be my strange self. I also want to thank them for having the courage to be themselves and be honest. Honesty is so rare these days. We are lucky to have this brotherhood of music. Thank you guys. I love you all - Chris, Carl, and Laird.

I thought I'd share this vintage 1997 pic of Russell and me (Meshers) rocking out at the Moonlight in Santa Rosa for a great crowd. The logo behind us is a band name we've been tossing around lately, I came up with a logo, so if you like it or hate it we'd like to know, so please email us! innerrhythmstudios@sbcglobal.net
PEACE MESHERS OUT!!!!

Hole in the Sky

"Hole in the sky, take me to heaven Window in time, through it I fly..." Wow like, Sabbath knew all along, dude....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A giant hole in the Universe is devoid of galaxies, stars and even lacks dark matter, astronomers said on Thursday.

The team at the University of Minnesota said the void is nearly a billion light-years across and they have no idea why it is there.

"Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said astronomy professor Lawrence Rudnick.

"What we've found is not normal, based on either observational studies or on computer simulations of the large-scale evolution of the Universe,"

The void is in a region of sky in the constellation Eridanus, southwest of Orion.

I thought the biggest void in the universe was between this guy's ears! I mean, let's face it, this is the worst shape the world has been in since I can remember. This is the worst administration ever, the environment is in a bad way, war after needless war we dance the dance that is the Kali Yuga. I pray that all Sentient Beings attain liberation from Samsara.

Nutzo McNugent

This guy gives all rockers a bad name. I mean, if a lefty musician threatened to kill a Republican nominee with a machine gun, let alone the whole field of their front-runners and two of their sitting Senators, the RNC, MSM and their Reich-wing radio shills would raise the rancor to high heaven, call for criminal charges, make commercials, you know how they do... The hypocrisy makes me wanna barf! Excerpts courtesy of RawStory.

At a recent stop on his "Love Grenade 2007 Shrapnel Tour," rocker Ted Nugent tossed some rhetorical bombs at a few top Democrats, and possible future gubernatorial candidate joked about executing the most prominent African American politician in a generation.

"Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun," Nugent said in front of a screaming crowd as he brandishes what appear to be two large assault rifles. He was referring to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and would become the first black man to occupy the Oval Office

"Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch," Nugent said, brandishing his weapons.

He also went after Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), suggesting she, too, might like to "suck on my machine gun." Nugent's tirade against California's other Democratic Senator, Diane Feinstein, is too garbled to transcribe, but one can hear Nugent call her a "whore."

Everyone should make a point to boycott this crack-head as well as call our Representatives in congress and ask them to start an inquiry into the hate speech and death-threats of one Ted Nugent. Meshers OUT!!!

US Mercenary Force in Iraq at All-Time High

Well, if this doesn't bring your tin foil hat out of retirement, then you've recycled it...Thanks to RawStory, again.

"The United States has set a new precedent in its reliance on private contractors to perform dangerous military duties in Iraq, reports the Washington Post in its Monday edition.

Writes the Congressional Research Service in a recent report: "Iraq appears to be the first case where the U.S. government has used private contractors extensively for protecting persons and property in potentially hostile or hostile situations where host country security forces are absent or deficient."

Of these contractors said to perform "functions once carried by the U.S. military," recently gauged at 127,000, less than 20 percent were Americans.The entire article can be read HERE.

US to use spy satellites on Americans

"I am the Eye in the Sky, looking at you, I can read your mind." This has to be Big Brother at his worst, excerpts courtesy of The Washington Post...

By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 16, 2007

The Bush administration has approved a plan to expand domestic access to some of the most powerful tools of 21st-century spycraft, giving law enforcement officials and others the ability to view data obtained from satellite and aircraft sensors that can see through cloud cover and even penetrate buildings and underground bunkers.

Although the federal government has long permitted the use of spy-satellite imagery for certain scientific functions -- such as creating topographic maps or monitoring volcanic activity -- the administration's decision would provide domestic authorities with unprecedented access to high-resolution, real-time satellite photos.

They could also have access to much more. A statement issued yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security said that officials envision "more robust access" not only to imagery but also to "the collection, analysis and production skills and capabilities of the intelligence community."

The beneficiaries may include "federal, state, local and tribal elements" involved in emergency preparedness and response or "enforcement of criminal and civil laws." The "tribal" reference was to Native Americans who conduct semiautonomous law enforcement operations on reservations.

Under the new program, the DHS will create a subordinate agency to be known as the National Applications Office. The new office, which has gained the backing of congressional intelligence and appropriations committees, is responsible for coordinating requests for access to intelligence by civilian agencies. Previously, an agency known as the Civilian Applications Committee facilitated access to satellite imagery for geologic study.

Oversight of the department's use of the overhead imagery data would come from officials in the Department of Homeland Security and from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and would consist of reviews by agency inspectors general, lawyers and privacy officers. "We can give total assurance" that Americans' civil liberties will be protected, Allen said. "Americans shouldn't have any concerns about it."

But civil liberties groups quickly condemned the move, which Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies, a nonprofit activist group, likened to "Big Brother in the sky." "They want to turn these enormous spy capabilities, built to be used against overseas enemies, onto Americans," Martin said. "They are laying the bricks one at a time for a police state."

Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, said that the data could be useful but that oversight for the program was woefully inadequate. Enhanced access "shouldn't be adopted at all costs because it comes with risk to privacy and to the integrity of our political institutions," he said.

Hmmm... I wonder if anyone would abuse the power of the all-seeing eye? Surely not. Meshers OUT!!!

Karl Rove Resigns

This just in, courtesy Raw Story:

Karl Rove will resign from his position in the Bush Administration and return to Texas Aug. 31, according to an interview published Monday with Paul Gigot, editorial page editor for The Wall Street Journal.When asked by Gigot whether he's leaving "to avoid Congressional scrutiny?" he said, "I know they'll say that. But I'm not going to stay or leave based on whether it pleases the mob." Mr. Rove, who has held a senior post in the White House since President Bush took office in January 2001, told Mr. Gigot he first floated the idea of leaving a year ago. But he delayed his departure as, first, Democrats took Congress, and then as the White House tackled debates on immigration and Iraq, he said. He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president's term in January 2009.

I'm sure he's merely going to "spend more time with the family" or some shit.... Here is a guy who would hate to be frog-marched before Congress in chains. Could he be heading over to Fred Thompson's place for a "chat"?

As you may or may not know, Greg is no longer in the band. It's a sad, sad day since you been gone.... oh well, people got to do their own thing I wish him luck in all things Greckley. See you down the road sometime, dude.

So we now have no name. 1320 was only for the NHRA show/debacle, and Inner Rhythm is not going to happen (the website is using that nom de plume), so let's have a contest to name our rocking all-new project. Please chime in and email me at meshers23@yahoo.com and share your ideas for a cool band name. On August 15, I will post a poll and let the people speak. The winner will receive an IRStudios production bundle of their choice, so let me know what you think.

7.5 Quake Rocks Indonesia

Could secret, deep-earth tomographic imaging technology used to locate petroleum deposits be triggering earthquakes? Or could oil lubricate portions of the crust and lessen earthquake intensity? It seems like anything is possible. Conspiracy Snausage fer sure! From CNN

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- A powerful earthquake shook buildings and caused panic on the densely-populated Indonesian island of Java, but there have been no reports of injuries and no tsunami alert. The quake, measured at magnitude 7.5 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck shortly after midnight in a part of the sea dotted with oil rig platforms, Financial Times journalist John Aglionby told CNN International. According to CNN's Kathy Quiano, the shaking caused many in the capital to flee their homes. "We felt the earthquake in Jakarta, it was pretty strong and went on for at least a minute." "It was pretty strong and scary," Quiano said. "People are shaken, that's for certain." And Aglionby said there were still concerns for the many oil rigs exploiting the resource rich waters off the north coast of Java.

Beltway Betrayal

Democrats, bowing to pressure from the White House, passed legislation to give the prez expanded spying powers late yesterday. The move created a stir with the ACLU and other groups who support constitutional freedoms over fear of terrorism. It seems the spinelessness continues in spite of the double majority in Congress, and the polls showing a real dissatisfaction with our collective direction. We can defeat violent radicals with our dignity and liberty intact. Fortunately, this is a temporary measure, so let's hope we regain a firm grip on the reins of our great nation as soon as possible.

Incompetence Reigns Supreme

You know, it really is a sign of the times when foolish, incompetent assholes control the government of the most powerful nation on Earth. Although I only advocate continued employment of competent government officials, I do not support a revisionist policy which disrupts the function of essential social and defense related programs. Everyone completes everyone else, or at least we bring each other into context within the relativistic scenario we find ourselves in. The fact of the matter rests on the foundations of wisdom enshrined in the heart of compassion. Enough rambling on and on, lets sharpen the barb, if you will. These stories have reared their ugly heads and now, here they are for your perusal...

Incompetence exhibit #1: Alberto Gonzales lying under oath.

Incompetence exhibit #2: Minneapolis Bridge Disaster was preventable.

Incompetence exhibit #3: Katrina aftermath is still a disgrace.

Incompetence exhibit #4: War in Iraq now seen to reach $1 trillion dollars!

Incompetence exhibit #5: Global Warming science politicized.

We all know what's up. Be active, call your Representative for all our sakes and vote! Get out there and tell people the truth and to pay attention! Meshers OUT!

Post-Traumatic Show Disorder

Good Morning fellow MUFF Divers. I have a strange story to share. Here goes...

Once upon a time in the land of NorCal, a Great Race was held. Racers from all around the realm came to compete for the Great Prize, yea they were driven... as it were. Anyway, the race was a three day event, and the second night at the campgrounds had always been a celebration of life and the living of it on the edge, rife with revelry and song. For the last seven years, a band of minstrels had came to entertain the flock of racing fans who faithfully came to support the Great Race year after year, after year. Though the band had tried everything to maintain it's equilibrium, it's cohesion gave way to chaos. Personal problems and apathy set in. It seemed no one could help Greckels and Karhole, the remnant of this once proud band of minstrels. Then one day, as luck would have it a grand minstrel came on the scene. Due to the lack of demand for full time musicians, these sad saps worked at a local car dealership. So anyway, this guy known throughout the realm as The Brewman worked there and ended up playing his mighty git-fiddle with the merry minstrels and it was good. A few weeks later, the holder of the Sacred Bass Space was unable to perform for the full length of a practice session. Brewman, in his uncanny wisdom called forth, yea summoned the Mahameshers, Bass God of Space. So the Ancient Team wove their magic into a web so integral, the band of gay blades er, um... I mean Merry Minstrels felt that if only the Mahameshers would join them, then The Great Race would be that truly fulfilling celebration once again. Shortly after Mahameshers supplanted that other guy, the band was learning and practicing the songs with a spirit and accuracy unknown to them before. Then one day, the Greckels dropped a bomb on the scene. He had a personal issue arise and no longer could croon his tunes with these crazy bastards any more. Though saddened(hunh?) by their loss, the band continued to practice on and on and on(like Chris Marsh). The Three attained a cohesive synergy unmatched in all the realm, yet something was missing. One day an odd fellow called Friar Lairdwick met the Brewman by chance, and their mutual love of the aforementioned git-fiddle soon became obvious to them both. Lairdwick soon brought his Mystic Midi Git-Fiddle to the band's studio and, after a protracted duel with the Big Bri-guy, (a talented minstrel who'd once played with Greckels and Karhole, and also vied for the position) began to play with these crazy bastards. Soon they were playing at a local pub on a regular basis where the people loved them and danced late into the night. As the Great Race neared, Greckels suddenly, somehow achieved a reprieve and rejoined the band. The day of the Great Race arrived. Lord Marcos of Nitro and his minions set the stage and then the band of five began to play. Slowly at first, the magic swirled through the air. People started to gather around the stage and dancing and revelry ensued. But then, some knucklehead started a small brawl which brought the police. After an impassioned plea from one of the Racers, a stay of execution was granted and the band began to play again. The throng cheered and screamed as one. Still the violence erupted again and this time, the show was over. A fair maiden had an eye for the Brewman and whisked him away to the safety of her loins. The rest of the band returned to their homes except for the Mahameshers, who sat there under the stars and meditated on the emptiness of phenomena and upon attaining a subtle enlightenment, imprinted the account you read now into the akashic record for all time. He foresaw the band was entering a new phase of evolution, and that is a legend that has yet to be written.

Space Swirl

This is a crop circle with a 197 ft. diameter discovered by a pilot on July 02, 2007 in Switzerland. A Swiss govt. expert contends it is not a fake, as it's size and geometric precision alone is impossible to duplicate with any of the known methods of faux-crop circle creation. Apparently the circular paradox appeared over night. A very strange thing, indeed. Maybe someone's trying to tell us something.... Peace!!!

Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Greetings everyone. Well, here we are just a day away from our biggest jam of the summer. Tomorrow we will be jamming for the masses. It's going to be fully documented. Laird has 3 video cameras that are going to shoot the show. My Roland 880ex will record the audio out of the sound guy's mixer. We will get a high quality audio file plus tons of footage from 3 cameras. This is going to be a fun exploration into digital video editing for me. I'm looking forward to playing with all of the video footage on my computer. When we get everything dialed, I will post the video on our blog for everyone to download and watch on their computer. I'll be camping out at the raceway on Saturday night, so I'm also bringing all of my camping gear and my large cooler that will have lots and lots of beer. It's going to be one hell of a party!!

O.k. Here are the jams from last Saturday nights show. I gotta tell ya, I was disappointed in the recordings because once again, our main AKG C3000 microphone failed to record. This is our main fidelity mic. The recordings sound really shitty, but if you want to check them out, I went ahead and did the best I could with the mixes. Here they are:

This just in, courtesy RawStory...

"Four Senate Democrats called on the Justice Department's Solicitor General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether or not Attorney General Alberto Gonzales committed perjury in Congressional testimony on the Bush administration's domestic spying program.

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) harshly criticized the Attorney General in the Thursday Capitol Hill press conference.

"His inability to answer simple and straight forward questions was just stunning," Schumer said. "His instinct is not to tell the truth, but to dissemble and deceive."

Well, the truth has a way of making itself known. When the nation's top prosecutor is the target of an investigation, who will prosecute him? Sounds like a special prosecutor is in order. If Pat Fitzgerald is too liberal for you, then how about Bob Barr? Check out the full article here.

And Turd Blossom, Too?

Wow, looks like The Brain is getting some well deserved heat in the seat. Again RawStory to the rescue...

" Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy announced Thursday he had subpoenaed White House adviser Karl Rove and his deputy accusing them of stonewalling a widening probe into the firing of federal prosecutors.

"The Bush-Cheney White House continues to place great strains on our constitutional system of checks and balances," Leahy said in issuing the subpoenas. "Not since the darkest days of the Nixon Administration have we seen efforts to corrupt federal law enforcement for partisan political gain and such efforts to avoid accountability.".

"We have now reached a point where the accumulated evidence shows that political considerations factored into the unprecedented firing of at least nine United States Attorneys last year," Leahy said, according to The Associated Press."

The Heat is on, so gets to cookin'!!! Inherent Contempt of Congress allows for a simple solution to these complex issues so please call or email your Representatives in DC.

Gonznocchio

Gonzo was at it again, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, either lying through his teeth or obfuscating at every turn. Today's spectacle seems to me a classic bait and switch if you will. It's as if Karl Rove is the puppetmaster and Gonzo is Pinocchio or as we sardonic bastards are apt to say, Gonznocchio. Yes, go after the puppet, ignore the puppeteers. Even Republican Arlen Specter railed on the administration and him, personally. He more than deserved it and should be removed from office. Call, email or otherwise contact your Congressperson and both Senators ASAP!

Judicial Jeopardy

This just in, courtesy RawStory...

"Capitol Hill's leading daily seems to have it in for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Today's headline from yesterday's hearings? Gonzales Digs Deeper Hole. After finishing up his latest round of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales may have more than his credibility to lose. Wednesday's (paid-restricted) Roll Call reports the AG "may have put himself in legal jeopardy" as senators from both parties cast doubt on the veracity of his testimony. Republican Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) put it bluntly: "I do not find your testimony credible." He reminded Gonzales that the entire committee would review his testimony, in an apparent threat of legal consequences for lying to Congress."

"Steam Pipe" blast triggers panic in NYC

Courtesy RawStory: A steam pipeline exploded in Manhattan on Wednesday in a shower of hot vapour, mud and rock, sparking panic among evening rush hour commuters and rekindling memories of the September 11 attacks among jittery New Yorkers. The explosion, which left a crater in the middle of the street, sent clouds of steam, mud and rocks several stories into the air and left buildings in the area shaking while a lingering rumble could be heard several blocks away.

Although police were quick to say there was nothing to indicate the explosion near Grand Central station was terrorist related, for some New Yorkers, the incident immediately revived memories of the September 11 attacks of 2001. "Everything shook, there was a big explosion," said Lilian Crespo, 33. "It was horrible." "I heard a huge vibration and we were evacuated from the building, everybody was panicking," added another witness, Henry Galarza.

Several blocks of Lexington Avenue outside Grand Central Terminal near the iconic art deco Chrysler building remained shut off into the evening. The explosion occurred just before 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) and sent crowds of people heading north from the area, many of them running. Some had their shoes come off because they were running so fast. A spokesman for electrical supplier Con Edison said the company was testing the air for asbestos as a precaution.

Well, I'm guessing the air is at least as safe as after 9/11. Oh yeah, that didn't work out so well, huh? Update: They did find asbestos, but say it poses no threat.... Go see Sicko. It will open your eyes to a very real problem we face as a society. Pretty sad that our infrastructure, health care and education are so neglected while we waste money on so many other stupid, violent things. Peace!
