Uziel Gal supposedly invented the Uzi SMG. That name sounded familiar, like a fallen angel or something, so I did a little searching and found:
"The angel Usiel, Gabriel's lieutenant in the fighting on high, is designated a companion of the lustful luminaries who coupled with mortal women; in Zoharic cabala he is the cortex (averse demon) of Gog Sheklah, "disturber of all things." Among the rabbis the opinion is divided with regard to the 90,000 angels of destruction." - http://www.satanservice.org/propaganda/gen.60s.txt
Uziel was a burnt corpse in The Prophecy, a '95 Christopher Walken movie.
I still haven't figured out why this is so familiar to me, and wikipedia is failing me. Help?

New Writers
I've just discovered a music writer and journalist named Simon Reynolds out of Good Britain. He seems to be, at a glance, an astute observer of the undercurrents and underpinnings of the R&D end of modern music. I have slung a strand on over to it from the Spyder Web.
"But faux-black was once no problem at all; it was what you did, as a matter of course, to be pop, if you were white; the terms of entry. (Okay, there's exceptions, country/folk/showbiz sources, and "that voice", but by and large, it's true, for the 1960s at least, Pop in the moving-forward sense was black voices/moves/rhythms and white people putting on black voices/moves/rhythms, seemingly without a pang or a doubt that this was anything but the most natural thing in the world to do.)
So what SFJ is mourning here really is the loss of nerve--of gall, even--that enabled white rockers and poppers in the 60s to front. That white negro leap of courage. Faking it, basically, but in the process creating a new self that became your authentic self; a postracial superself."

Listed as his inspirations, the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
So very easy for my mind to wander in this virtual world. Three hours later, I now return to report that OiNK.cd is dead. And this article is interesting: Indie is dead.
