If the last post and topics about demons and exorcism were a bit too much for you, the next post should be an entertaining surprise! The Day 702 blog entry on THE 800 DAYS blog is quirky but FUN - with a little viral "get to know me" game or two on it!
Now, the word "discordianism" does come up on the Day 702 post, and brief explanations of some aims of Discordianism, Chaos Magick and Anarchists are provided, but only to provide clarity as to why a list-game is being posted, keeping these belief systems in mind.
Okay, basically what these games are is an attempt to make something possibly meaningful out of chaos, and the tools for righting chaos are the lists and music/song titles...
In the first example, you're asked to go completely random, answering the list questions from the way your music plays on your player (mp3 player, iPod, whatever you listen to tunes on). In the second example, answer the list questions from song titles of your favourite or one of your favourite bands.
Blake used The Chemical Brothers for the second list - with some funny but also some thought-provoking results! In the first instance, the list is even more random but Blake's particular results from the first viral list are, again, thought - provoking.
Head over to the Day 702 post and have a go at the viral lists. If you end up with some really interesting results you'd like to share, email them and I can post some of the results on the blog!
The Day 702 post is chaotic but magickal at the same time and is associated with Tuesday January 18 2011.

Day 736 (Tidbits)
Ah, more music appreciation is going on over at THE 800 DAYS BLOG on the Day 736 entry. I have been enjoying the various music videos and audios as well as the vid/audio interviews of different types, so I just added a new tab on the blog... you'll be able to find it at the top of the blog, over at the right hand side.
The group Blake focuses on for the Day 736 post is called Current 93, the album, Thunder Perfect Mind and there are two songs included in the post. Blake suggests that the artists have made these tracks in an effort to create a Rock Opera and Blake gives comparisons between Current 93 and bands like The Who, Pink Floyd and The Beatles - who also made very successful Rock Opera albums.
Apparently Current 93/Thunder Perfect Mind, name and all were inspired by spiritual writings (Nag Hammadi, Dead Sea Scrolls) outside of the long-established Christian canon. Gnosticism...That alone makes the music and opera-storyline within the music interesting to me.
Now, just so I don't ruin the focus here, I'm going to end the post so you can head over to The 800 Days blog and have a listen to the music...links above, remember?
