Quality tune - where can i get it on mp3 / audio?

Had a search about but can't find it.

IMO, there are two different types of non-fiction peak oil book: The first tells you the technical details - how oil wells work, how it aggregates over areas (& the planet), how we are close to the edge of the peak (Simmons, Campbell) The second tells you part of that, together with what the pos...

I really enjoyed this book. JHK gave four examples of post-Long Emergency communities - the tiding over community, the organised pseudo-religious community, the gang, and the post-peak city. Primarily, the book is about the interaction between the different possible societies. Its a decent tale, ver...

The government has ordered that workers from the following industries and services are eligible for priority access to fuel which tankers have been delivering to 298 petrol stations across the country. Emergency services Armed forces Health and social workers Food industry Agriculture, veterinary a...

I enjoyed it - it certainly shows you how most survivalists will end up if TSHTF.

Quite frankly, Bozzio, when comparing the two, PO isn't as big an issue as climate change. PO isn't a threat to the biosphere, it's just a threat to industrialised civilistaion. And as for the 911 truth movement... :roll: Excuse me, since when has the concept of climate change ever meant the destru...

If you don't vote then you cannot blame anyone but yourself. Thats a poor argument, especially with our voting system. ...voting for them would make no sense because they would be unlikely to ever gain a seat. This is also a poor argument. So voting makes sense even though the end result is that yo...

The disruption (whatever it was) would have to be several months before the supply of absolutely everything was so f***ed that it was below the minimum amount required to prevent the riots!! :D I would have agreed if I didn't remember the fuel protests a few years ago. I was fine fuel wise, and wit...

If you don't vote then you cannot blame anyone but yourself. Thats a poor argument, especially with our voting system. If, and its a big if, there was a party which represented my views, voting for them would make no sense because they would be unlikely to ever gain a seat. Our first past the post ...

The sad news for the conspiracy theorists is that all I have ever found (as I wander around the corridors of power - both in local government and national government) is greater evidence of cockup rather than conspiracy. Have to agree. When working away from HQ in the Civil Service, I believed in c...

'East Hastings' from the same album featured in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later - it provided the soundtrack to the memorable scenes of a deserted London. Emptybee, I've been looking for that track since I heard it, but couldn't work out who'd done it. I'd been recommended Godspeed ages ago, but will n...

New Model Army: Ballad (1986) When they look back at us and they write down their history What will they say about our generation? We're the ones who knew everything and still we did nothing Harvested everything, planted nothing. Well we live pretty well in the wake of the goldrush Floating in comfo...

IMHO, robots, aka "artificial intelligence", already control human society, in the form of multinationals. They are pre-programmed and single minded ("best interests of shareholders") and systematically buy off anyone who gets near power. We still have the vote, but its generally...

Was wondering if anyone else has read this and what they thought of it? The premise of the story is that two people are making the trek east across America hoping to find a ship to take them across the ocean to a better life. The twist is its set in a post-collapse America (it doesn't say when its s...

http://goldprice.org/bob/2007/02/dow-priced-in-gold.html Reality is not always what most think it is. The Dow Jones Industrial Index has many prices: US dollars, Yen, gallons of gasoline, quarts of milk, gold, silver and more. Pricing the Dow (an index of 30 stocks) in gold is one of the ways to get...
