Christmas Songs for 2008, Blackmore’s Night

Two of the sweetest soundings Christmas songs I have ever heard are both sung by Candice Night, she is the female voice of the band called Blackmore’s Night and along with Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple fame they formed this Renaissance-inspired folk rock band.

As it is just less than an hour away from Christmas Eve here in Australia I thought that Christmas Eve would be an appropriate song to play, so sit back for a few minutes and enjoy the wonderful voice of Candice Night.

With Christmas fast approaching once again I thought it might be time to introduce Festivus to those of you have may not have been Seinfeld fans. Festivus is a celebration for the rest of us. See the story of Festivus as described on Seinfeld. George’s worst nightmares are revealed as Festivus rears it’s ugly head once again.

Atlantis The Palm, Dubai

Dubai has become known for it’s opulence and the latest addition is The Atlantis The Palm Hotel. Apparently it cost approximately 2 Billion Australian Dollars to build and they spent something like 30 Million Dollars just to put on a opening ceremony.

I am sure that they will make their money back and much more, I just went online to book a few nights at the hotel and the price per room is between 2100 and 6500 United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) and these prices did not include a 10% Service fee and 10% municipality fee. So if you are an Aussie expect to pay in the order of $1000 to $3000 per room per night.

Flame Trees by Cold Chisel

Most Australians who enjoy music would love the Band Cold Chisel. Even if you are to young to remember them, you may have parents who do.

Flame Trees by Cold Chisel is one of my all time favourites songs. For those of you who don’t know the song, maybe you not from Australia, well sit back and enjoy the song and have a look at what Australian country life was like about 20 years ago. Actually it’s not too different to typical country life these days.

Maybe these facts are useless and won’t benefit you in anyway, they are interesting though and might give you something to talk about at your next party or gathering.

Large Hadron Collider

Large Hadron Collider part 1

It’s finally happening, they are testing out the particle exelerator and we are all waiting with baited breath to see if we are still all going to be here tomorrow. No need to worry if you read a quote from CNET news as shown below.

Remember the fear that the Trinity test of the first atomic bomb in 1945 might ignite the atmosphere? The Large Hadron Collider, a massive particle accelerator 17 miles in circumference that will begin operation Wednesday, comes with its own apocalyptic possibility: teensy black holes with gravitational appetites voracious enough to swallow the Earth.

But you can breathe easy, because some scientists believe that worry is just as baseless as the A-bomb’s flaming atmosphere.

So now we know some of what the ancients did for us… as for what we as ancients did for our future distant ancestors, there’s always global warming, corporation-sponsored government, Dystopia and probably Monsanto’s Soylent Green.
