This is pretty scary shit.

It'll mean the death of the electric guitar.. and even worse, no more electronica music.

It'll also mean the end of Thumped, and all that goes with it. Definitely the end of the scene in Dublin. And elsewhere. And there'll be no more tours from foreign bands because all the planes and ferries won't be able to work without oil.

Even bicycle couriers are fucked because they won't be able to apply oil to their bike chains.

Everything will be fucked. Everything.

Oil is the tears of Arabia and the wicked west is using it to fuel their self-destructive, bloody road to death.

At least we have fire. We need to keep this secret from the dolphins and chimps. We could trade our knowledge of the wheel with the chimps for their knowledge of forest survival.

We shouldn't trade with the dolphins. They're too close.

duncan and co. briefly addressed the whole issue of ireland and wind power on eco eye in the last couple of weeks, and some experts reckon there are millions of euro worth of energy blowing over ireland every year. in fact there's apparently enough to create a surplus for the country's needs if tackled properly. enough in some opinions to actually be in a position to export to other countries. as it stands currently, according to that program, ireland is actually the most oil dependent country in the eu.

duncan know his shit alright.the big staring oddball.
think theres still a bit of work to be done with wind turbines.think the can interfere with the electrical circuitry of house, blowing all the lightbulbs in the gaff and stuff.

depressing read.

Who read this to you gav? Did you ask someone on the bus and stare at them throughout wondering where they got their magical powers of reading from. Did you press your hand repeatedly against the computer screen hoping something might happen to read it out to you. You're an illiterate and this years Mis-spelling Bee.

p.s. I hate you with an incredible passion.

.

maybe all bands/musical groups will have to have a group of people to use bike/dynamo or large hamster wheel type generator things to supply the band with their electrical needs.
nerdy geeks can harvest the grease from there spotty faces for bike chain greasing a la kentucky fried movie

as for powering the internet, im still working on it

[oh shit]

roughly 5 in every 6.5 people on earth already live without oil, industrial agriculture, economic growth, the internet, a car, plastic bags, commodity culture, medicine, sewerage systems, security, a bank account.
i don't hear them complaining.

probably because they have no phone, internet, postal system etc.

but then, they're in a much better position when the western empire starts crashing down all round us..
