Annihilist" is a portmanteau of the words "annihilate" and "nihilist".

I live in the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. You can call me Gabriel.

This page is me. I exhibit my thoughts, artworks, and anything else I happen to like right here.

I am an atheist, nihilist and cynic. If you want to know anything else about me, send questions.

I also review art, i.e. film, music, literature etc. every week at: http://bedroomcritic.blogspot.com/. Check it out if it's your kinda thing.

 

Forcing us to watch advertisements before internet videos is criminal.

Seriously, it just fucks with streaming and bandwidth, especially on bad or average connections. Ads are tolerable if they don’t interfere with what I’m doing, but here, they are.

Interview with Jeff Bliss, who spoke out against inadequate high school education.

What a great guy.

Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
so die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Zähre fließt  
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
in den Meeren salzig ist

Came across a radio in Alan Wake playing Nick Cave

There’s a radio in Alan Wake which plays “Up Jumped The Devil” by Nick Cave. Fitting, and eerie.

Triple J Hottest 100 since 1993

Triple J is doing an unprecedented hottest 100 for songs in the last 20 years. You can vote for 20 songs. Here are my votes:

Tool - Forty Six & 2
Tool - Stinkfist
Tool - Sober
Tool - Schism
Marilyn Manson - Coma White
Marilyn Manson - Tourniquet
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Loverman
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - As I Sat Sadly by Her Side
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Nirvana - Rape Me
Radiohead - Everything in Its Right Place
Rammstein - Rosenrot
Rammstein - Haifisch
Birds Of Tokyo - Armour for Liars
David Bowie - The Heart’s Filthy Lesson
Florence + The Machine - Drumming Song
A Perfect Circle - The Outsider
Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce
The Saboteurs (Raconteurs) - Broken Boy Soldier

It’s difficult because a lot of these songs I don’t consider groundbreaking for the past two decades - more just token songs for artists who I feel deserve it most, or my favourite songs from universally acclaimed artists who I also like. 

Anyway if you’re Australian, vote now at abc.net.au/triplej
