Before reading this post, make sure you have already watched the KONY 2012 video to understand what I'm talking about...
I don't know why but despite reading the following articles going against the campaign, I am still a "supporter" of the campaign, unlike some of y'all.
Eg. of an article by a non-supporter
I read somewhere that no matter what, Kony is still going to get caught. The US government is gonna do something about it. I think they already did before but failed the previous time round.
So what is this campaign for? It's not "wishing" for the government to see it then act on it like what some people mentioned. Instead, it's for us to spread the word and show the rest of the world what's happening. How fucked up Kony is and all cus not many people know about him before the video went viral. Before watching the video, I didn't think abducting kids and brainwashing them to do things like kill their own parents existed! We only see such things in movies right? So this video did make me realise the many fucked up things happening in the world that exists.
One can say a lot more shit is happening around the world. Yes it's true. But one guy, abducting 30,000(?) children, that is MAJOR fucked up, no?
Then comes the money part, I believe I read on many blogs about discrepancies on the Invisible Children's funds here and there. Even if there really are, i dont really care. Wont switch my mind and think they're fucked up. Maybe cus I think they deserve it for working full-time on it an saving children. For example, Jacob, the boy in the video., I'm sure they had to provide lodging for him, food and water, fly him to US, pay for the paper work that has to be done for citizenship etc...all that isn't free right? And I'm sure Jacob isn't the only one they managed to save. So money part, even if they profited despite the fact they claim to be a non-profitable organisation, I don't think one should stop supporting the campaign just because of that? Ok la, it is kiiiiinda fucked up if that's true but stillllll, they aren't doing harm to anyone right? They're still saving kids, right?
I feel there's a lot Invisible Children simplified to make the video understandable for masses. It's only a 30 min video, how much can they put in? So they prolly didnt manage to mention a lot. And also, all the editing and effects -which people complaint about. Uh, people make a video nicer to watch also cannot? Lol. Come on, if the video is boring, like just a guy sitting there telling us about Kony, i think most of us would close it at 5 min and not bother finishing it right? So all those blogs bringing up so much about them based on what's in the video is kinda unfair what? How can they put in detail everything they did for 10 over years in just a 30min video?
I feel that every campaign that's around, there's someone who's going to be against it, no matter what. So therefore I am still not swayed and prefer to stick to my own views.
I still feel there's a need to spread the word and support Invisible Children. I respect them for all their hardwork. The best I can do is help spread the word since I can't and won't be in Africa doing any work. I mean how many people can give up their lives and go help others? I certainly can't. And I'm sure most of us too, cus otherwise, we'd be working in non-profit organisations too. So, better do something small than nothing at all, right? :)
Not exactly a pro and know EVERYTHING about it. Just stating my POV. Whether you agree or not is up to you lah. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, if one does not agree to the campaign, then so be it. It doesn't make them "heartless". Zzz at those tweets calling ppl heartless just cus they refuse to RT and spread the word. People don't want then don't want lah...?
Maybe you should also watch this video by a fellow Singaporean, Dee Kosh. Although he is damn annoying. There are times whereby I find him super funny but most times trying too hard. Haha. So anyhowzzz, in this video, he mentioned talking to someone who works closely with the Invisible Children and etc. Man, i wish he'd stop clapping though...frigging annoying, Dude! But well, yes here you go,
and read this too (a reader just shared this link and i am so thankful!)...
(this is really good....i'm glad they finally "defended" themselves.)
Can't review and reread this post Typing it from my phone. But well, I'm just voicing out what I feel after watching so many YouTube video responses and tweets on this issue.

Have you heard the one about the Internet fund that's afraid of dot-coms?
It sounds like a bad money manager joke, but that's actually the best way to describe the Kinetics Internet Fund. "Truthfully, if we changed the name, we'd probably get more money," says cofounder and portfolio manager Peter Doyle, jacket slung over a chair in a conference room at his midtown Manhattan office.
Doyle's quip has two meanings: His Internet Fund was once the darling of Wall Street--one of the top-performing mutual funds of 1998 and 1999. But it crashed and burned a lot of investors, falling from $1.4 billion in assets in early 2000 to as low as $188 million by 2002.
But Doyle is not just referring to his fund's lingering tech-bubble taint--he's also speaking about his alternative approach.
Despite its seemingly self-evident name and legacy as the first ever Internet-focused mutual fund, there aren't many websites left in Doyle's 56-company portfolio today. Instead Doyle is proving that in the current bubbly environment for stocks of social networks and mobile apps, the best way to make money from the Net is old-fashioned: value stocks with long product life cycles, deep content libraries, ample cash flow--and ideally a billionaire behind the wheel.
Kinetics Internet has a mere $180 million in assets and is one of eight mutual funds, including the much larger Paradigm Fund, run by $9.7 billion Horizon Kinetics. In 2013 it ranked among the top-performing equity mutual funds, logging a 44% gain. Since its inception in 1996 the fund's 16% average annual return has more than doubled that of the S&P 500. Its 1.8% expense ratio is steep, but that has more to do with its size than costs. Turnover at the no-load fund is a mere 8%.
Kinetics Internet doesn't own any Facebook stock because Doyle, 51, says he doesn't feel comfortable investing in a site so exposed to the whims of popular opinion--let alone one that is spending $19 billion on WhatsApp, a messaging service with only $20 million in revenues.
"Maybe WhatsApp is a great investment," he says. "But I've got my doubts, and certainly handing over $15 billion in stock tells you what they think about their company. They're not interested in buying back their shares; they're giving them away."
Beyond the lofty valuations, Doyle is wary of any company that has too much tied up in the current technological paradigm. and ruled the computing world a decade ago but missed out on the transition to tablets and smartphones. Doyle believes is a declining star in the same vein. "All these great companies have very short product life cycles," he says. "People in a garage can displace your entire business, and now it's global."
Instead Doyle belongs to the "content is king" camp of Internet investing. Rather than value the likes of , Starz and Disney on the strength of current revenues, Doyle focuses on the media libraries they've amassed. The product life cycle he's so concerned with in technology is comparatively endless in the world of content. A hit movie like Disney's 1937 classic Snow White has already been reissued in theaters, repurposed for videogames and amusement park rides, rereleased on VHS and DVD, Blu-ray and iTunes--and it should continue to generate more money on new distribution platforms for decades to come. A year ago Doyle bought into movie studio at less than what he valued its media library was already worth. Its Shrek franchise, for example, including its last theatrical release, Puss in Boots , has brought in $3.5 billion in box office revenues since 2001. But when one considers ancillary products, Shrek will be a cash cow for years. The stock is up over 60% since Doyle bought it.
Media studios and cable networks are not as sexy as apps that seem to attract hundreds of millions of users overnight, but they do produce more restful sleep.
Sleeping well is a top priority for Doyle given his fund's history. Kinetics Internet Fund was born in 1996 in a Long Island kitchen with a $100,000 investment from Doyle's sister, Maura. It was the first mutual fund for Doyle, a St. John's graduate and former Bankers Trust portfolio manager, who formed the firm in 1994 with four other ex-Bankers Trust employees, including cofounder and CIO Murray Stahl. They started publishing stock research but seized on the tech IPO boom by launching the Internet Fund, which came under the direction of one of their junior analysts, Ryan Jacob. The twentysomething analyst got caught up in tech stock fever, investing in IPOs like TheGlobe.com and iVillage. In 1998 the Internet Fund had a return of 196%, and in 1999 it gained 216%. Assets swelled to $1.4 billion.
"Suddenly we were managing a lot of money for people, and the names in there were making me a little uneasy." After trying and failing to sell the Internet Fund, Doyle and hotshot fund manager Jacob parted ways, with the latter leaving to start his own Internet fund. Doyle was stuck holding the bag when the tech bubble collapsed.
Instead of throwing in the towel on the fund, Doyle was quietly buying stocks like and the Washington Post Co. Meanwhile, the rest of Horizon Kinetics, including a separately managed accounts business and several other mutual funds, was thriving. Doyle's Internet Fund is still a small piece, but its stellar performance and fresh five-star rating look promising.
Avoiding bubbly tech stocks is just one of Doyle's rules. Central to his strategy is following big money--stocks owned and operated by billionaires. Indeed, nine of the fund's top ten stocks are billionaire-controlled, including John Malone's Liberty Media, Sumner Redstone's , and Larry Page and Sergey Brin's .
Doyle's billionaire theory rests on three pillars. The first grew from the financial crisis, when most companies hunkered down and hoarded cash. Doyle believes this is a basic agency problem--executives are more interested in keeping their high-paying jobs than in taking risks for the long-term good of shareholders. Driven by opposite incentives, many owner-operators profited from the crisis by doubling down. Doyle cites John Malone's $530 million loan to Sirius XM in 2009, which turned into a stake that's worth over $12 billion today.

A Dozen Rules of Thumb: Advice on Saving Time and Money
Here's a selection of the 1,000 highly opinionated, highly idiosyncratic guidelines in Rules of Thumb: A Life Manual-Brilliant Guestimates, Shortcuts, and a Few Shots in the Dark by Tom Parker (Workman, $8.95):
2. For every day you spend in the hospital, plan on one week to recuperate.
3. To avoid lunatics on city buses, sit in the middle. The friendly lunatics sit as close to the driver as they can, and the unfriendly ones sit as far away as they can.
4. All putts break toward the water, even on greens that appear perfectly flat. That's because all greens are contoured for drainage.
5. An extension cord should be as thick as the cord you plug into it.
6. Any cop will tell you that in a bar fight, the shorter of the two men probably started it.
7. If you ask a negative question, you will get a negative answer.
8. For a minimum level of financial security, your net worth (the cash value of all your assets) minus all your debts should equal one year's income.
9. Keep white wine in your fridge and take it out 30 minutes before serving. Keep red wine out of the fridge and put it in 15 minutes before serving.
10. If you're playing cards in any gambling game for over 20 minutes and haven't figured out who the patsy at the table is, it's you.
11. As a manager, expect 80 percent of your work to be done by 20 percent of your staff. Also, expect 90 percent of your headaches/ problems to come from 10 percent of your staff.
12. You are wealthy enough to give some money to worthy causes when you can buy all the groceries you need.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

Category: Top 100 baby names
JAre there any great girl names that aren't in the Top 100? The Name Sage assures an expectant mama that there are plenty of gorgeous names that aren't heard everywhere.
Sydney writes:
I am due this August with boy-girl twins. They already have a big sister named Summer Emilia.
In looking for girl names, I absolutely fell in love with Violet and was utterly heartbroken when I learned Violet is popular. Both my husband and I grew up with common names and are very against naming our children a popular name. Nothing in the top 100!
For our son, we love the name Dawson Gage. Gage is after my grandfather and Dawson is because partly because we love the name and partly because my husband's name is David and Dawson means "son of David." Dawson is ranked 239 on the Nameberry top 1000 so it is unique enough for us.
So now we are looking for a name to go with Summer Emilia and Dawson Gage but it seems like every name we like is within the Top 20. Names we love that are too common include: Violet, Harper, Isabella, Charlotte, Scarlett, Madison, Olivia, and Mia.
We are convinced that girls' names out of the top 100 do not exist anymore! All beautiful names we find end up being wildly popular.
The Name Sage replies:
By Kelli Brady, The Name Freak
With the release of the 2015 name data, I can now release an analysis on the new Top 100! Here are the interesting finds!
NEW GIRLS: Aurora, Clara, Cora, Hazel, Quinn, and Reagan.
NEW BOYS: Elias, Ezra, Mateo, Sawyer, and Theodore.
The new Number 1 baby names in the US are….the old Number 1 baby names in the US. For the second year in a row, Emma and Noah top the official US baby names popularity list for 2015.
And the entire Top 10 stayed more the same than it has in a decade, with the Top 3 girls' names and the Top 6 names for boys remaining in the exact places they occupied last year.
There was only one new name on the Top 10 for each gender: Harper replaced Madison for girls and Benjamin took the place of Daniel on the boys' side.
The Top 10 baby names for 2015 — the newly released list counts the names of 4 million babies born last year — and their standing compared with 2014 are :
We spied this question in the forums and thought it was so good we'd ask the Nameberry community at large:
How popular is a name before it gets too popular for you?
Would you avoid the Top 10? The Top 100? The Top 1000?
Or maybe you'd happily choose the Number 1 name if you loved it enough. Or only want names that nobody else, literally, is using.
When it comes to baby names, how popular is too popular for you?
The midyear tally of the most popular baby names of 2014 is in, with Imogen and Asher holding onto the Number 1 spots they claimed for 2013.
Silas, Jasper, and Milo have all risen into the Top 10 for boys, while the sedate Claire is the only new entrant into the girls' Top 10.
The most steeply-rising names are Cordelia for girls and Archer for boys.

Date of Show: Monday, February 27
Synopsis: "I'll always come back for you," single father O2 (Tyrese Gibson of Four Brothers) tells his young son Junior (screen newcomer H. Hunter Hall). This parental promise is put to the test when O2 is suddenly plunged into a do-or-die situation; trying to go straight for Junior's sake, this recently paroled ex-con is forced to go back outside the law after his son is kidnapped in a carjacking. The resulting chase and shootout have left Junior in the hands of Meat (hip-hop superstar The Game, in his feature debut), the vicious leader of the Outlaw Syndicate. O2's shady cousin Lucky (Larenz Tate of Crash) tries to mediate, but is caught between criminal and family loyalties. The only person who can or will help O2 get his son back is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Meagan Good of You Got Served), whose path fatefully crossed O2's just moments before the kidnapping.

"This afternoon the Senate pauses to remember those killed in horrific killings," Reid said. "How can you make sense of something that is so senseless?"
"We in the Senate pledge our support to people of Colorado as they grieve and recover from this horrible tragedy," Reid said on the floor.
McConnell read the names of all 12 of the people killed.
"As the scripture says, 'rain falls on the just and unjust,'" McConnell said. "So we accept that there are just some things we can't explain — evil is one of them."
Accused shooter James Holmes made his first court appearance on Monday. He appeared with hair dyed a redding-orange, and his attention appeared to drift as lawyers dicsussed the allegations against him.

Northwestern State falls short vs. No. 16 Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Northwestern State coach Mike McConathy wasn't going to change his game plan against No. 16 Memphis. The Demons were going to run their fast-paced approach.
"We have to continue trying to be who we are and we're getting better for January, February and March," McConathy said, referring to the team's play in the Southland Conference.
Jalan West scored 15 points to lead six Demons players in double figures in Northwestern State's 96-76 loss to No. 16 Memphis on Saturday.
DeQuan Hicks scored 13 points and Patrick Robinson had 12 points for the Demons (3-4), who shot 40 percent from the field, including just 3 of 18 on 3-pointers.
Sabri Thompson scored 11 points, while Brison White and Zikiteran Woodley each added 10.
"We didn't quit, and we very well could have laid down when it got to be 29 and 30 (point leads)," McConathy said. "We continued to fight and do it. We have to figure out how to get something out of these games, and that's what we did."
Memphis made a definitive statement early they weren't having a letdown after their win over nationally-ranked Oklahoma State last Sunday.
Shaq Goodwin scored a career-high 21 points, and Memphis shot 54 percent. It was a carryover from the Tigers avenging their only loss of the season by beating the ninth-ranked Cowboys 73-68 to win the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Fla., last Sunday.
"For the past week, we've been preaching carryover and not slacking off," said Goodwin, who shot 8 for 11 from the field. "Everyone knows when you come off a big win, you can't lay an egg."
Joe Jackson scored 18 points with five assists, and Michael Dixon Jr. had 14 points, connecting on 6 of 9 from the field for Memphis (6-1).
Goodwin's performance continued a new emphasis by the Tigers in getting their post players involved. Over the last five games, Memphis, which entered the season with a reputation for strong senior guards, has pushed the ball inside more to Goodwin and freshman forward Austin Nichols.
"It's a tremendous plus to have multiple guys that you can just throw the ball in there and get out of their way," Dixon said of the balanced offense.
McConathy hoped for a letdown by Memphis after Tigers coach Josh Pastner's first win over a Top 25 team — but was pretty sure he couldn't rely on that.
Memphis never trailed and led by as many as 30 with just over 6 minutes left. At that point, Pastner substituted his starters.
As expected, the game was fast-paced. The Demons entered as one of the highest-scoring teams in the country, averaging 89.7 points. But they also allow 90.8 points, near the bottom of the NCAA rankings.
Memphis, which averages 84.8 points, displayed its offensive prowess in the first half. The Tigers connected on 58 percent of their shots before the break and led 56-29 at halftime.
The Demons struggled offensively in the first half, hitting slightly under 30 percent from the field and missing all but one of their 10 shots from 3-point range.
Memphis' lead was only 21-16 with about 12 minutes left in the half. The Tigers outscored Northwestern State 35-13 before halftime, including a 12-0 run.
"What happened to us was we kept attacking and got nothing out of it," McConathy said. "Then they were just coming. They shot the ball extremely well. We were in position defensively to close, but we never contested shots in that stretch where they went on that run."

The complex populations of bacteria that colonize the oral cavity must be able to coordinate the metabolism of the wide variety of carbohydrates that are presented in salivary secretions and in the human diet. There is also intense competition between different species of bacteria for these limiting nutrients. In cases when dietary carbohydrates are provided in excess and the host develops dental caries, Streptococcus mutans and other acid-resistant species emerge as significant constituents of dental biofilms as a direct result of their capacity to grow and to continue to metabolize carbohydrates in acidified environments. Therefore, the persistence of the oral microbiome, the diversity of the oral microbiome, and the degree to which the oral microbiome is pathogenic are dictated by the genetic, biochemical and physiologic responses of these organisms to the source and availability of carbohydrates. Not surprisingly, then, the availability of metabolizable carbohydrates appears to be the single most important environmental factor affecting the composition and pathogenic potential of human dental plaque. The goals of this research are to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis for how the source and amount of carbohydrate modifies gene expression in the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans. These studies utilize the most modern methods in molecular biology - coupled with the use of continuous-flow bioreactors to carefully control the physiology of the bacteria - to dissect how the source and the availability of carbohydrates modulate the pathogenic potential of the organisms.
Dental caries is an infectious disease that affects a large proportion of the world's population. This disease occurs when the tooth is damaged by bacteria on the tooth surface that produce acids from sugars. The goals of this research are to understand how the bacteria that cause caries coordinate the uptake and metabolism of sugars to maximize their growth and acid production. The project has high public health relevance because of the widespread nature of the disease and the high potential of the research to identify new technologies for the prevention or treatment of dental caries. The findings are also highly relevant to a variety of other human pathogens that are genetically and physiologically similar to the bacteria that cause dental caries.

They're from the U.K., not Australia, these Wombats. In fact, U.K. fans and critics are going so wild over this trio's eclectic brand of what I call Indie Doo Wop that their Liverpudlian origins have encouraged comparisons to their legendary local forbears, The Beatles. There are seven letters in the bands' names and they both have contagious melodies, harmonies, and lyrics. Though The Wombats met at Liverpool's Performing Arts Academy founded by Paul McCartney, the comparisons end there; The Beatles operated with more personnel and Wombats are higher on the food chain.
Before their packed show at Paris's fine indie music venue La Maroquinerie Thursday night, I had the opportunity to talk with The Wombats' Dan Haggis (drums, vocals, keyboards) and Tord Knudsen, which sounds like "Thor" in conversation (bass, keyboard, vocals), while Matthew Murphy (lead vocals, guitar) was off munching baguettes and communing with the Muse. We talked about their birth, thanks to the midwife of alcohol; their growth in popularity up to their recent debut release; their nuanced sound and lyrics; and their future plans.
The Birth of The Wombats
The pogo-able pieces they play have been about four years in the making.
Tord, the bass-playing Norseman, Dan, and "Murph" Murphy met at the Liverpool Performing Arts Academy through friends of friends in the dormitories. Yet, they didn't work their harmonies out in course projects. They met as probably most great troubadours do: around their pints of mead.
As Dan summed it up after a few anecdotes about parties and cricket games, "I guess the theme here is we're an alcohol-induced band." I wondered if all the other great art school-born bands were conceived the same way? But I can't imagine David Byrne playing cricket, and I'd wager the Gang of Four met at a young Marxist reading group.
I followed up on the choice of a marsupial for a name and learned that for these three poly-instrumentalists destined to become The Wombats, the jolly magnetism of social drinking was nearly inseparable from musical creativity and animal fetishes.
"After a few hazy nights together drinking, we wrote that song about the goat," Dan chuckled.
"The day of the first show, the promoter asked us for our name. We said we didn't have one one yet. He said, 'Just give me anything,' and Dan offered, 'The Wombats.'" Added Tord. "Actually there were several animals in the running: Goats, a rhinoceros, wombats. Our first song was 'Ode to Charles the Goat.' It was just the three of us having a laugh."
From Playing Schools to Top of the Charts
So The Wombats stuck, and after a year, they shrugged their shoulders and let history happen. This week the popular New Music Express chart in the UK showed their hit "Let's Dance to Joy Division" knocking out the Hives for the top single in the land. They mentioned they had already been on a small U.S. tour, playing in tiny bars for a few enthusiastic fans. I wondered if the number and size of the venues wouldn't triple the next time around.
Earlier this year the much sought after band signed to UK label 14th Floor. "We got signed," Dan says, "because we did a ridiculous amount of touring and already had a fan base."
Their first album, A Guide to Love, Loss, and Desperation is out this week. Fourteenth Floor had the honors partly due to an A&R connection they had worked with releasing singles in the past. While "quite a few" labels had come knocking at their door after they played SxSW in Austin last March, they are confident that 14th Floor (which has a lot of singer-songwriters on their roster) was right for them simply because their middle-man "totally gets who we are."
"We had complete control with this record," Dan says. "We negotiated the contract that way. The label told us what they would like, but we had the last say."
Indie Doo Wop/Wombat Rock
But about what sound exactly did the Wombats have the last say? As with a lot of popular music, the Wombats' sound is a socially acceptable form of addiction and pleasure. They give you contagious Doo wop harmonies, memorable melodic hooks, a driving rhythm, and smart lyrics. There's something comfortable and familiar about their sound, which will at times draw comparisons to The Strokes guitars and the Franz Ferdinand Bass, occasional Forward Russia! rhythms. Yet their ability to incorporate keyboards, strings, and harmonicas, to pen grin-worthy lyrics, and layer harmonies will defy easy classifications. When you ask the guys about their influences their identity makes sense.
They've been playing in bands since they were 15 or 16. I asked what were they listening to in those formative years which often play an unconscious role in a band's composition of sounds.
"This!" says Tord pointing a finger heavenward. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was playing. We chuckled.
"I'd listen to this upstairs," Dan explains. "Then I'd go downstairs and listen to Neil Young and Fleetwood Mac! Actually, I listened to a lot of classic rock: Rolling Stones, Cream… We're all fans of Radiohead. I also listed to harder things like Rage Against the Machine and Deftones."
"Yeah," Tord interjects, "I had a period of black metal!"
"I also had a Skate punk phase," Tord continues. "No Effects, Green Day, and then I got in to the Norwegian Radiohead — Motorcycle. They're really important for me, because I still think they were different than anything else."
And what about my Doo Wop tag? Are these guys fans of The Platters and boybands?! Not exactly.
"We like the Beach Boys," Dan admits.
But in fact, these guys were in several different bands when they first started. They both played some metal. Dan was in a folk trio! Let's not forget that Joe Strummer, before the 101'ers and The Clash, was a folk singer who insisted on being called "Woody." Dan, Tord, and Murphy, like the Platters, the early Beatles, and the Beach Boys, have a love for "woooahhs" and "oooooayyoooos." But what sets them apart is their ability to lay those harmonies down over pop-punk rhythms, indie jangle guitars, and sporadic OMD-induced new wave synth-pop. Listen closely and you hear echoes of the last 30 years of Anglo-American (and some Norwegian) pop-rock.
Well-Wrought Words
But that's the sound of instruments and voices. One loses an important portal of appreciation if one forgets their lyrics. These are the exclusive work of the gifted lyricist Murphy. They give The Wombats an ironic identity, a cleverness that some bands (as much as they might want it) can never attain, forcing them by default to rock out to overly earnest appeals to love, heartache, power, corruption, and lies.
My pretentious literary sensibility requires me to point out a couple of Shakespeare references in their songs. Not only are they Shakespeare references but they're played to great humorous effect.
In "Lost in the Post," Murphy sings of a love never meant to be, one who "wanted Mary Poppins, I took her to King Lear." Then in "Lost in a Forest," a song about a disappointing rave outside Leeds, Murphy asks, "Am I in a scene from Midsummer night's dream?"
But Shakespeare or no, the important thing is these guys give us playful sometimes darkly humorous lyrics against a rollickingly poppy — I persist, pogoable — sound. And there they are in elite company with bands like The Smiths.
When one listens to the lyrics of "Let's Dance to Joy Division," for example, echoes of "Girlfriend in a Coma," resonate in the mind's ear. "Let's Dance to Joy Division and Celebrate the Irony/Everything is Going Wrong, But we're so Happy."
"Yeah," Dan and Tord agree in unison. "Our sound is fairly upbeat, but then when you listen to the words, it's sometimes kind of dark. That song is like people dancing and having fun to songs they really find quite depressing."
"It's about people dancing to Love will tear us apart… been havin' a hard week, then letting loose. The ridiculousness of life gets you down, but it's kind of like the music can get you out of it." Some people choose alcohol or drugs, others choose Joy Division, others still the Wombats.
They say the lyrics and the sound are of equal importance to them. They like that "you can listen to the album again and again and find new things."
The Code of the Wombat
The Wombats are on a roll. But where are they going? What do they want? Why do they do this? The rock 'n' roll dream to take over the world?
"We never had a set goal," Dan waxes modest. "We like to live one day at a time," Carpe Diem Dead Poet's Society style.
He continues: "We want to keep on doing music full time. We don't want to be a flash in the pan."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote to Walt Whitman after having read Leaves of Grass, I great you at the beginning of a great career.Powered by Sidelines
