Speaking of synths... I've been listening to a lot of Hollywood Undead - Undead lately. Let the aggression wash over you in a cool wave.

I'm not on a tirade today. This was in my twitter feed recently, though it's from July.
I was actually surprised about this one. Maybe I'm naive.

Yeah, that was a good clip. Some of that is atypical. Emi is adorable.

A recording of Charles Lightoller, second officer of the Titanic, describing his experiences during and after the sinking. There are a (very) few key people on the Titanic whose actions saved hundreds of lives, and he was one of them.

Also, I highly recommend reading his life story. It is amazing, deserving of a biography IMHO. Among other things, he took his personal boat to Dunkirk in 1940, at age 66, to rescue British soldiers. This is portrayed in the "Dunkirk" movie although the character is given a different name.

Lightoller's autobiography. He was indeed a fascinating man who had an incredible life.

His description of San Francisco in the 1880s is pretty colorful.

Interestingly, the author explains one of the major mysteries of the Titanic: the reason why the lifeboats were sent off half-empty. It was because they would be too difficult to lower safely all the way to the water when full, so they planned to finish loading them from a gangway lower down. The problem is that no one told Lightoller and the others about how fast the ship was sinking, and they only realized this when the gangways ended up underwater. By which time, the distance to the water probably wasn't such an issue. He also indicates that they ran out of time filling lifeboats and weren't able to launch the last two properly, so that even if the Titanic did have enough boats it's not clear they would have been able to use them.

Cool bit of history.

I think it's fun that they Vanilla Iced the riff from Green Day, a band not exactly known for being very Team America

No, no no. Chicago's '25 or 6 to 4' is was out when Green Day were in diapers. The ad features the Elements' remix of that, not Green Day.

Tim is good (but should have been wearing a plain white t-shirt) but the Aussie is very quick on the uptake and outgo, quite talented. I'd have to give the IQ medal to the Aussie.
