On the lighter side...


Well, yesterday I had a very good recording session . We are recording our version of Dani Ben Israel's 'Kapara', a classic 70's song. We might actually get Shlomo Mizrahi A.K.A. 'The Israeli Hendrix', who recorded the original song, to lay down a few track for us next week. Markey Funk is working with us and helped us A LOT during the last few days. Recording of this song constitutes a test run for the recording procedure of the whole upcoming album, and I think we are getting a lot out of it. The final mix should be ready in about a month... tell you all about it when it's done.
Back to the usual business, here are a few entertaining links regarding religion:

There is a big issue in the U.S.A. regarding teaching an 'alternative' to Darwin's evolution theory which is called 'intelligent design'. The intelligent design advocates use pseudoscientific arguments, and claim that life is so complex that an intelligent entity (GOD) must have designed it. An amusing retort is suggested in form of the new Church of the flying spaghetti monster which uses similar pseudoscience to prove that our creator is... well... a flying spaghetti monster (see picture at the top).

Here is another one: Scientology is a rising religion that believes in some ridiculous ideas. The founder of this religion is science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. The TV show South Park has a whole episode about them and some of their devoted believers (Tom Cruise...), you can see a small outtake from it on Youtube, or watch the whole episode online at http://www.southparkstudios.com/ season 9 episode 12. The late Isaac Hayes played a regular character at South Park (Chef), but after the Scientology episode was broadcast he quit the show.
