Molemen
Mole people (also called tunnel people or tunnel dwellers) are homeless people living under large cities in abandoned subway, railroad, flood, sewage tunnels, and heating shafts. The term may also refer to the speculative fiction trope of an entirely subterranean society or a race of humanoid moles. In documentary film and non-fiction '' Dark Days'', a 2000 documentary feature film by British filmmaker Marc Singer follows a group of people living in an abandoned section of the New York City Subway, in the area called Freedom Tunnel. Anthropologist Teun Voeten's book ''Tunnel People'' is also about the inhabitants of the Freedom Tunnel, where Voeten lived for five months. Jennifer Toth's 1993 book ''The Mole People: Life in the Tunnels Beneath New York City'', written while she was an intern at the ''Los Angeles Times'', was promoted as a true account of travels in the tunnels and interviews with tunnel dwellers. The book helped canonize the image of the mole people as an order ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Empire Strikes First
''The Empire Strikes First'' is the thirteenth studio album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on June 8, 2004. The album is heavily influenced by the then-current Iraq War (most notably in the songs "Atheist Peace", "Let Them Eat War" and the title track) and also has some nods to George Orwell's novel ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' (the song title "Boot Stamping on a Human Face Forever" as well as the line "you deserve Two Minute Hate" in the title track are direct references to the book), the latter most likely inspired by the Patriot Act. The album also marks the rare instance that non-members of Bad Religion received a writing credit, as Chris Wollard of Hot Water Music co-wrote two songs. The song "Social Suicide" appears in the video games ''Tony Hawk's Project 8'' and ''MX vs. ATV Untamed''. Release On February 4, 2004, ''The Empire Strikes First'' was announced for release in a few months' time. On March 17, 2004, the album's artwork and the track listing we ...

Noel Dix of ''Exclaim!'' wrote: "Certainly not something you want to throw on when you want to cheer yourself up, DJ Signify likes using chilling horn samples and dirty drums at a slow pace to piece together a soundtrack to an imaginary horror flick."
