Beşiktaş is doin’ all right

Our team seems to be the most ready compared to GS and FB. In UEFA draw, we have a relatively weak rival. We have a good team after successful transfers. We would still like to have a striker and a more reliable defensive line but I will have with what is offered:) I had been … Read more

Alice in Chains bullshitting about Istanbul in their blog

In their blog post about their Istanbul experience during Sonisphere 2010 the author bullshits (their software do not allow to give this link to this moronic piece of writing: Istanbul was unlike any city we’ve ever been to. It’s the fourth largest city in the world, so it’s huge, and culturally, it’s very different from … Read more

Unirock 2010: Metal Storm is not over yet

Well, I have the festival fatigue now (!). After Sonisphere, now we have Unirock festival. It is unfortunate that this great event comes only a week after the mega great event, Sonisphere. I could not not attend the Friday night concerts thus missing Overkill. An old time favorite for me. People told me they had … Read more

Gods of Metal coming to town…

… Islamist Akit barks.http://whoisthefins.com/assets/Images/7_8/rammstein.jpg

tomorrow’s program here.

Islamist fundamentalist and highly provocative Vakit barks at Sonisphere festival that starts tomorrow. The festival has a line up beyond imagination for the Turkish metalheads (Sonisphere festival in Turkey. 25-27 June. A lineup beyond imagination)

Vakit labels Rammstein as the most morally depraved band of Europe and it calls for cancellation of the festival while “we have so many martyrs”. The festival is organized by a company “that is owned by Jews” blah blah blah. Anti-semitic, populist, regressive assholes these Vakit people are…

Erkan recommends: Watch masters’ last movies: The White Ribbon, Antichrist

http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/the-white-ribbon-21.jpg

The White Ribbon (2009)

Haneke’s White Ribbon is more humane than many of his previous movies.  Maintains tension to the end, cinematographically perfect, as usual:)

Antichrist (2009)

The first word to use after watching it is “excuriating”. It is just too challenging. I warn you:)

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) ahahahah Michael Moore is probably a pain in the ass for the Republicans. I felt like he skillfully skipped corporate relations in the Clinton era and continued to hit Bush period. Well, compared to Bush period all others are innocent of course. After all they have done, and no punishment for them… maybe voters just deserve what happened…

Turks reading, Grup Yorum, Ali Nesin

It is a bit of old news now. In last weeks, a Turkish NGO in cooperation with a local municipality tried to break a world record: Biggest number of people reading together. People gathered in a stadium to do it. They could not break the record. The act itself is a little bit silly and I assume conservative sections of Turkish public attempt to create new sphere of action like this. Still it is better than nothing. It was a nice try:)
