Morbid Fascination

Some very interesting photo collections regarding Chernobyl:

Ghost Villages
Contaminated Vehicles
Lost City

Odd, to think this happened in my lifetime. It looks like fifty years ago.

They came before

From the "Lost City" slide show:
. . . The poster advertises a Soviet club for young children, the Octoberists.

I guess they predate the Decemberists by a couple of months.

No, actually, the Decembrists predate the Octobrists by nearly a century ... that was the name for the members of an unsuccessful revolution before the one in October 1917, and yes, that's where the band got its name (though they added the third E themselves).

The fact that they would know that only adds to their awesomeness.
THEY ARE SO COOL!!!!
GAH! I love those guys :D

Maybe on their next CD they'll have a song about a horse that falls through the ice. [snicker]

This is such a stupid feud. I mean ... comically stupid.

Correction . . .

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

GBS has TWO songs about horses falling through the ice on their latest CD "The Hard and the Easy" available at music stores everywhere, and from Amazon.com. As an extra added benefit, their lead singer doesn't sound like he's about to throw himself off a bridge.
