Well said.
Which part of my post are you taking issue with, Poacher? The bits about cocaine? Do you really think it's a harmless drug? You might try digging up Len Bias and informing him of that. My post had a link to the Wikipedia entry about this guy. Bias was a 22 year old 6' 9" 240 lb college basketball player. One of the best in the nation—the Boston Celtics drafted him as the 2nd pick in the first round of the '86 draft. Two days after he was drafted, Bias snorted some coke and his heart went into arrhythmia. He died.
Bias was 6'8" on a good day, no more than 210 soaking wet. Having watched him in person at Maryland I can assure you his size was hyped. As for his death he most likely snorted coke which exaserbates a preexisting condition that a lot of large athletes have called cardiac arrhythmia or, an irregular heartbeat. It's the same condition that caused another great Celtic, Reggie Lewis, to die. Also, the great Loyola Merrymount star, Hank Gathers. It's very possible that Bias would have had his career cut short because of this condition.
Wikipedia does back your assertion about his weight, but not the one about his height. Let's not quibble: Bias was a world-class athlete in his prime and in AFAIK in playing condition when he died. He'd passed a physical shortly before the draft and was described as being in "perfect" condition. Two days after the draft he was dead. The Time Magazine article I point you to below reports that the autopsy on Bias revealed that he had a strong, healthy heart.
The autopsy revealed that he died of cardiac arrhythmia due to a cocaine overdose. His heart was normal and in excellent condition at the time of death, unlike the hearts of Gathers and Lewis (see below for more on their heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
This piece
https://articles.latimes.com/1986-06-25/sports/sp-20106_1_len-bias
quotes a state official who said that Bias had snorted unadulterated, "dealer-level quality" coke. "You're not going to stop on the street corner and get that quality," Silverman said. "You'd have to be pretty well connected."
There apparently was disagreement post-autopsy about how Bias ingested the cocaine—one assistant state medical examiner asserted that Bias likely freebased purified cocaine , while three medical professionals reported that Bias likely ingested 3-5 grams of pure cocaine in a drink, and Maryland's Chief Medical Examiner stated that Bias likely died from sniffing 400-500 milligrams of coke.
However, Bias had no cardiac disease or genetic disorder like Marfan's Syndrome. From the same Time Magazine article I pointed you to in the last sentence:
"Nor did he suffer from any previously undetected defect in his heart or circulatory system...The autopsy established that Bias had a large, strong heart and was in excellent shape. His mucous membranes were clear, indicating that he was probably not a veteran snorter of cocaine. Dr. Smialek reported that Bias had no more than "an average level of sensitivity" to the drug and avoided attributing the 6.5 mg-per-liter concentration of cocaine in the athlete's bloodstream to an "overdose." "This particular concentration might not kill another individual," the medical examiner said. "On the other hand, another individual could die at a lower level."
...
Medical authorities were divided in their explanations of fatal reactions to cocaine.
...
The drug can act in a number of ways to cause death. It can interfere with the electrical system of the heart or brain, causing the heart to go into ventricular fibrillation, a purposeless twitching that quickly results in death. In addition, cocaine may bring on a cardiac event by temporarily constricting arteries."
The Time Magazine piece is particularly interesting if you want to read about the thoughts of doctors on the cardiac damage that can be caused by cocaine.
Finally, Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy , (from the Wikipedia article link just to the left) "...a disease in which a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle) is enlarged without any obvious cause, creating functional impairment of the heart...The occurrence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of sudden cardiac death in any age group and a cause of disabling cardiac symptoms. HCM is frequently asymptomatic until sudden cardiac death, and for this reason some suggest routinely screening certain populations for this disease."

Nothing wrong with a little well-executed spy music pastiche now and then. (See also, e.g., The Greenhornes, "There Is An End")

Hey Pro - I mean Larrygrrl; you're so right. I just had the exact same thought and listened to the B52's on YouTube - it's painfully obvious.

Oh, good someone on the internet is wrong! I'll spring into action, months later. We're not talking about cane toads. Of course, I was wrong too - the main substance is 5-Meo-DMT. It is "milked" from the glands on their back. It doesn't even hurt the toad. There may be bufotenine, 5-HO-DMT mixed in there, who knows. For details.. "Tryptamine Palace" by James Oroc. Fascinating.

Saw 'em live here in SF, wow what a great show and group of performers, so now you've created the addiction. The least you can do is to feed it for Pete's sake!!
Oh dear. I see you get your drugs information from Mainstream Media.
Can I urge you to look closely at the kind of propaganda you have been served over the years by the 'War on Drugs' which has been one of the least successful prohibition campaigns in the history of this planet.

Does this happen to most people? No. But if you know that a world-class athlete in his prime and in top shape can die from doing cocaine, or that repeated use of the drug can damage your brain and your heart, wouldn't you think twice about doing it? Apparently a lot of people don't.
As for mood disorders...Here's a list of cocaine-related psychiatric disorders--and yes depression and manic depression are on the list:
https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/290195-clinical
If you have credible links that argue against some of my assertions about the effect of cocaine (anhedonia, depression, manic depression, heart muscle damage, death), please post them. I'd be happy to be better informed. If you seriously think I've been brainwashed by the War on Drugs, help me become better educated/informed.
As Unclehud pointed out in another post, pharmaceutical drugs have their own side-effects, up to and including death. And yes, Big Pharma has been caught hiding or downplaying clinical studies on side-effects. The one that sticks in my mind was Baycol which Bayer persuaded the FDA to approve at a dangerously high dosage so that the drug could compete with other statins. I don't take even prescribed drugs unless I absolutely have to. But prescription drugs in the US have to undergo three phases of randomized double-blind clinical trials (testing safety, effectiveness in small groups and effectiveness in larger groups) before doctors can prescribe them to the general population. When approved drugs create dangerous side-effects, they are pulled from the market and lawyers have a field-day with class-action lawsuits. When a prescribed drug has been on the market for five or more years, most of the side-effects are well-known and studied.
You don't get that kind of scrutiny with most street drugs. And you have no guarantee that the recreational drugs haven't been cut or laced with something dangerous. There were idiotic drug dealers who, after hearing of marijuana laced with "embalming fluid" (code for PCP) actually tried selling pot treated with...real embalming fluid. Yum. Even unadulterated MDMA, which the FDA now states does not cause anhedonia or Parkinson's, can have serious side-effects.
I am not a goody two-shoes. I've smoked pot, hash and inhaled nitrous oxide. I miss pot even after 20+ years of abstinence. I'm just not keen on doing a drug whose purity I can't verify. Maybe I should get a medical marijuana prescription. As for other stuff like MDMA, coke, speed, painkillers...I'd rather not roll the dice on long-term side effects for a momentary high.
If people want to do that stuff to get high, fine. Just read up on what can happen to you before you dive in.

You heard wrong. normally with cane toads and you generally boil them to make a tea or dry the relevant glands and smoke them but real drugs remain far superior.
Or they can spit in your eye or mouth — seen the movie "Big Trouble" recently? It's hilarious!! (I realize the Bufos don't spit ... but that doesn't lessen Stanley Tucci's agony in the closing scene.)

I was thinking the same thing.
The relevant substance , 5-OH-DMT (bufotenine), is not orally active. So you don't lick 'em, you scrape and ... usually, smoke it.
So I've heard.

As someone who ... has a lot of friends describe their drug experiences to me ... let me add this:
No one knows the full and true effect of a drug before they take it. Ask Big Pharma, and they'll prattle on for several minutes about unintended side effects — a list of things up to and including death. Of course, these side effects don't apply to all who ingest said chemicals, only a few; and no one knows which (if any) will show up when you take it.
Same discussion for drugs that are classified as recreational or illegal. Different highs for different guys. (And gals, but that doesn't rhyme.) The moral of this story? "Curiosity killed the cat", maybe, or "whatever gets your through the night", or "if it feels good do it", or, quite honestly, "no one knows the consequences of taking a specific drug before they actually take it."
Of course, if you're caught with illegal drugs, the one 'fer shur' consequence is that you'll go to jail.
Aparently it's the Mastadong.
From Little Rat Bastard :
The LA-based band Dengue Fever is itself a hybrid of psychedelic indie rock and vintage Cambodian surf tunes, so what better to create their music with than a custom, hybrid instrument? Half electric guitar, half chaipai dong veng (a traditional, long-necked Cambodian guitar), the Mastadong's equally unusual name was suggested by one of the band's fans. Guitarist Zac Holtzman is constantly asked about it at Dengue Fever's live shows, so he made a short video to explain the instrument.
(See also the video via the link)
"Duuude, would you quit licking me? My tongue's longer than yours and I can catch flies with it. How would you feel if I licked you? And while we're at it, please put me down. You're squishing my middle, and I have to go to the bathroom. Lick THAT, you pervert."
"This implies that there exist possible consequences which are serious enough to preclude the consideration of such behavior..."
Not sure what you mean by this. I meant that many people don't seem to give much thought to the consequences of taking a drug before they first take it. Perhaps you meant that the effects of some drugs prevent people who've already started using them from thinking of the consequences. If so, that's not real smart of them.
Sure, people take drugs for all sorts of reasons. And people likely do think long and hard about what kind of high they want before they use a drug. I'm just boggled by people's willingness to take strong drugs, even ones with a brief psychoactive effect, without considering the possible damage they're doing to themselves. Yes, you get a great high from doing coke, for instance—or so I'm told—but you can give yourself a fatal heart attack or damage the dopamine-producing cells in your brain so much that you can no longer experience happiness. Cocaine can also induce manic-depression—this happened to Herman Goering.
The effects of cocaine use, short- and long-term, are very well documented. The effects of ingesting toad venom...not so much. Why roll the dice with your life and long-term health?
Oh dear. I see you get your drugs information from Mainstream Media.

This implies that there exist possible consequences which are serious enough to preclude the consideration of such behavior, and it assumes that those who engage in said behavior give no consideration to any possible consequences. I don't suck on toads myself but I do understand that there are many reasons and motivations for the use of the many types of drugs, and that many people do in fact put a lot of thought and consideration into the possible consequences, among other things.

That said, this song is just brilliant! This band is really growing on me, especially their new stuff. I can totally understand why it is less accessible to some of us who are accustomed to western music, but WOW....I get it and I like it!
As for the crazy guitar thing, it's definitely not a shamisen. It is fretted and really sounds nothing like a shamisen — not to mention the utter travesty that a shamisen without a skin stretched over a hollow body (and played without a plectrum) would be. I know virtually nothing about Cambodian music, but my best guess is it's something like the "Chapei dong veng" (spelling varies quite a bit) — just by appearance it's the closest thing that I've seen.

Pretty amazing what people will do to get high and how little thought they give to the possible consequences.
Now about the song.... No amount of instrumental goodwill wash out the bad taste of all that is Venus on Earth. I'm going to be vain here and vote a 1 just out of spite or maybe on principle or.... well, just because it's Dengue Fever. Take your pick.
that works.
