"Hey Sheldon? If you have a moment can you come up with me? To my apartment."

Blue eyes pull up from a magazine he is reading. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?" He nearly sounds concerned. Concerned enough the is folding the magazine back up and discarding it on the coffee table.

How I imagine the love square works in the Re-Verse (post reveal)

...and I still like their old logos

Reverse: Adrienette - Ladrien - Marichat - Ladynoir

A random trivia.

This song refers to the organization Club of Rome impact maps of World Issues (poverty, inequality, etc). The term was coined By Aurelio Peccei in a book (haven't read it yet) Limits to Growth as he refers problems can be addressed individually but by maintaining a global vision, etc etc.

The takeaway is... resolve the love square reveal and all the problems of MLB will be solved. :)

I'm glad they did that on the Re-Verse. ** /ends rant*

Muse Live Report - iTunes Festival [INROCK (December 2012)]

Muse Live at iTunes Festival at the Roundhouse September 30th 2012 REPORT: P.G. BRUNELLI/INROCK

Muse appeared on September 30th, the final day of the month-long iTunes festival at the Roundhouse. While other bands played relatively conservative setlists, avoiding new songs for fear of illegal downloads, Muse performed seven songs from their latest album "The 2nd Law" tonight, even though it is about to be released in several countries, including Japan.

Muse's verse exploded from "Supremacy", the opening track of the new album and also the first song chosen for tonight's performance. Matthew (vo./keys./g.) switches from a mellow guitar riff to a heavily distorted sound while singing in a melancholic voice. It was the very image of beauty created by contrast. The unusual feature of the set was the inclusion of "Save Me" with Chris (b.) on vocals. It was a surprise that a song with him on vocals was included on the album, but to perform it live in this way was very fresh and quite surprising.

The band members were all in a good mood. Matthew mentions that Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin, g.) is in the audience tonight, and he enjoys sneaking riffs from Zeppelin songs into his playing at various times during the show. He also threw in a riff from Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" at the beginning of "Panic Station," nicely emphasising the '80s-style heavy bass funk.

In this context, my favourite of the night was "Uprising". It was the moment when Matthew's guitar was more brilliant than ever. Tonight they were, as the lyrics of "Uprising" say, "victorious".

Happy birthday Psycho 🎂🎉🎉💯🎊💘🎂🎈🎈💯💯💯 . Instrumentation The track is based on distorted bass, fuzzy guitar and fat sounding drums. Despite Matt saying that Muse would cut down on orchestration on Drones, there are still strings to be heard in the last part of the song. The track also contains a hammond organ in the second part of the chorus, and Matts distorted vocals in the pre-chorus and chorus parts. . . Composition Initially, Bellamy didn't want to write a song with that riff since he considered it too old. Bellamy says: "Dom was always saying, ‘Turn that into a song!’ and I was always like, ‘Nah, it’s too redneck, dude.’" but in the end he decided to do it. Written in D minor with a moderate tempo, Psycho bears a few resemblances to Uprising due to its triplet feel, drop D riffs and similar tempo. Returning to Muse's earlier guitar-driven sound, it makes prominent use of the "0305030" riff, which dates back to the Paris MCM Café gig in November 1999. It later appeared more frequently as a live jam played after Stockholm Syndrome and Map of the Problematique. The riff at the verse and the bridge parts sounds a lot like The Doors's song Roadhouse Blues . . @muse @mattbellamy @ctwolstenholme78 @domhoward77 #museband #musefans #muselive #mansonguitars #guitars#drummer #drones https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pI8LIq4zF/?igshid=13p2wjp9t3oge

2.1.4

‘A’ is a good way to give the overall view of the area, especially since I personally struggle with understanding how maps work. I like that Hugo also maps out where the last word of the battle was spoken and links it with the symbolic statue of the lion denoting victory, for him, the real hero/bravery of the battle is that last word. 

Of course, the barricade chapters get a similar physical description with the letter N and that is very deliberate direct parallel, nice one there Hugo, @lizardrosen already pointed out some other direct comparisons in the previous chapters and there are more throughout these chapters and I really want to go over each one with a fine toothed comb to find them, if I have time. Waterloo and the barricade chapters are meant to be direct parallels and that is one of the reasons I love these chapters.  

I love that Hugo goes on to sketch a physical description of Napoleon’s garments on the battlefield in great detail after the description of the battlefield and then goes on to talk about him giving out a shining light which obscures the truth and casts darkness over everything else. 

The focus on his garments implies to me that his greatness is superficial. Napoleon is a leader whose personal greatness does not transfer or benefit others around him (It can be argued whether Napoleon is shrewd in this battle or fails tactically since Wellington seems to have the upper edge and Napoleon is at a disadvantage on lower ground but Hugo thinks that Napoleon is shrewd enough but there are lots of factors in a battle). 

This also emphasises the fact that Napoleon’s bright light and fame is due to plunging the conquered places into darkness and therefore Napoleon may also be viewed as a despot and a tyrant. I cannot shake the feeling that much as in later chapters there are ‘just and unjust wars’ and one of the reasons Napoleon is ‘problematique’ is his view of looking at wars as a just means of becoming great. 

Therefore, the darkness around him cancels out the light. Napoleon’s light symbolism isn’t depicted as a positive thing, since it does not help others around him.

(Sidenote: I am thoroughly enjoying this dragging of Napoleon in this chapter.)

2.1.5

Other people have mentioned in previous chapters that nature is also one of the main factors for Napoleon’s defeat and the sun’s refusal to shine after the rain delayed the battle further, which is amusing, as well as being very Romantic, in the form of man’s battle against the elements of nature.  

I love the descriptions of the battle the way Hugo writes it. I also really like how the mathematical precision of the battle plans is contrasted with the chaos of the actual battle. 

I also don’t find it as surprising that Hugo should be evoking the mysterious, which is also the Divine playing a role in the haphazard circumstances of the battle. But while the chaos initially works in favour of the French army, that cannot last for very long because of the nature of chaos itself. Napoleon may be well versed in artillery, but the very nature of the battle means that that cannot see him to victory. It also means that in the battle, one person cannot control the outcome, it depends on every unnamed soldier, ‘the armed multitudes’, as Hugo points out. 

[wordstosounds-blog]

In Ted Chiang’s short story, What’s Expected of Us, the reader is introduced to an object called a “Predictor.” It is assumed within the story that the reader has established knowledge of this omniscient piece. Muse’s song “Map of the Problematique” has rock and pop elements that match the sci-fi qualities of the story.

The song begins with an electric guitar intro, mirroring the user of the Predictor being enchanted by one. The Predictor has an ability to light itself up before being pressed. This is done by negating time by one second. The user must realize the futility of trying to beat a device that circumvents time itself, driving one to spiral into insanity.

The introduction of the song vocalizes:

 “Fear, and panic in the air I want to be free From desolation and despair And I feel like everything I saw Is being swept away When I refuse to let you go”

This verse actuates the hysteria experienced by the masses when in possession of a Predictor. The instrumental toward the end of the song captures a growing despair that remains parallel to the realization that the principle foundation of the Predictor eliminates the concept of free-will altogether.

There is an exhilarating electronic synth which coincides with the fear, panic, but intrigue and fascination, that the user of the Predictor experiences, alongside the eventual collapse of mental stability with the loss of free-will.

" taste this and tell me what you think! "

The grilled cheese Cin presented him looked delicious surprisingly. There weren't any burned edges and it was buttery and golden. Cheese was melting out of the edges and his mouth was watering at the looks of it. The tomato soup looked appetizing too. "Is this homemade?" What a stupid question, of course it was homemade but something was making him nervous and he couldn't put a finger on what that was. He took a tender bite and chewed and closed his eyes, it was heavenly. "This is really good. I might have you make grilled cheese for me more often, Cin."
