BMW's Hydrogen Fuel Cell car

Unlike Bush, the Germans are actually trying to keep the world green instead of a filthy, oily brown. Check out this interesting video about advancements that BMW has made in hydrogen powered cars: http://g.msn.com/0US!s6.68639_315529/63.c9478/2??cm=VHI

A Treat

Last year, four of the famed Pigs ventured off from the drove into a studio to muck about in the sonic filth of guitar hero, instrumental rock and roll. A camera was on hand to document the event which had lilting melodies, hard driving rhythyms and very intense moments. And of course, it wouldn't be the Pigs if it didn't have a bit of long-winded dreck in between those high points. But it is well worth the watch and listen. If you're an occasional or closet listener of Satch or Vai (and have a high-speed connection), check out this vid: http://www.stormpigs.com/video/20041007.wmv large, 245MB Windows Media Video FYI - things start heating up after about 25 minutes, rise and fall and eventually end with a smoking blues climax.

new music posted on www.stormpigs.com

A surprisingly strong set of material poured forth from the lads last Thursday. A lot of pent-up rage was released, many winter doldrums were shaken off, much bourbon was drunk and other devices to lower the defenses of better judgement were exercised. It must be noted that the bass seemed to be the instrument of the evening, with many songs following the four-stringed instruments' lead. Big, 256Kbps MP3s available on our home page . Songs are numbered in chronological order.
