Homecoming 2009
Oh dear. Welcome to Trump Manor. (Trumpton?)
I suspect that we'll have to revert to an ALT-Homecoming Scotland presence. Watch this space.
Rabbie, wadst thou wert - the warld hath need,
And Scotland mair sae, o the likes o thee!
The whisky that aince moved your lyre's become
The laxative for aa loquacity."
Hugh Macdiarmid - A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle (l.61-64)

From today's Guardian:The list of bands whose music is used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo Bay reads like a grim roll call of American pop culture. Metallica, Britney Spears and even the Sesame Street theme tune have all been blasted into cells at Camp X-Ray, with the intention of traumatising and destabalising its inhabitants. But a new anti-torture initiative called Zero dB is hoping to bring an end to the technique by gathering the support of musicians whose songs are used in controversial interrogation techniques by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
