Oldskool Nerdcore from the mighty Steven Hawking.

MC Hawking: ‘Entropy’

Creationists always try to use the second law,
to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw.
The second law is quite precise about where it applies,
only in a closed system must the entropy count rise.
The earth’s not a closed system’ it’s powered by the sun,
so fuck the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun!
That, in a nutshell, is what entropy’s about,
you’re now down with a discount.”

You down with entropy?…

"…stunning boredom is the secret weapon of European integration. Europe succeeds precisely by being so entirely and utterly boring that the world’s most fractious and warlike peoples are, like…
huh? What were you saying? Cucumbers? We freakin’ firebombed Dresden and you’re talking about cucumbers now?"
Bruce Sterling here. Any of my bureaucratic homies who’ve ever had to plough through EU documents or meetings will recognise this. The EU - not only preventing wars amongst its member states, but also curing insomnia.

"Throw your hands up in the air, and wave ‘em like you just don’t care."
Hiphop’s first slogan, and still advice worth following.

From 1979. The Undertones: ‘You Got My Number’

How bands looked in the days before the loathsome Simon Cowell.

“If you wanna, wanna, wanna, have someone to talk to..”

Saturation Bombing: although arguably an Italian invention (Libya 1910-11), still one of America’s gifts to the toiling 3rd world masses
