| The Fountainhead (trailer) - 137 sec "Do you want to stand alone against the whole world?"
Architect Howard Roark has heard the voices of safety, convention, compromise. But Roark is a man as unyielding as the mighty structures he builds. And he will sacrifice everything--the woman he loves or the project he dynamites when others interfere with his design--to maintain his individuality in a world of lockstep conformity.

(Intro)
Backgammon is the oldest game in the world
Archaeologists found sets when they excavated the ruins of Ancient Mesopotamia
5,000 years old
That's older than Jesus Christ
Two players, two sides
One is light
One is dark
Jean Grey refused to believe I was godly
She was found with her heart ripped right out of the body
Politics and poetry tells me where I'm supposed to be
The Pope showed up drunk, holding the Holy Rosary
I looked the worthless atheist square in his eye
To see if god is still alive; we both cried
Stop the questions, the kid just wants attention
And his brethren? They unworthy of a mention
My space station was supposed to block out the sun
But now, I know it's much easier said than done
Half of my mind is a submicrocomputer
So that when I write I can see into the future
The other half opens the Book of the Law
Take it to the grave and it will answer your call
Necrotising, paralysing and very agonising
1,000 bars, it will be dehumanising
You still worship the beat, and I still worship the mic
We worship the dark, so they worship the light
I am not alone in my pursuit to replace god
You think heaven is paradise, but it's not
I'd say it's more like the coldness of hell
The earth will start dying in the year 2012
Cthulhu promised me he would not forget
My loyalty will make me Prophet Laureate
(Chorus 2x)
This is the galactic fight,
That might turn wrong into right,
Don't you see the storm in his eye?
The illuminated pyramid was born to die!
My love is a weapon
My love is the answer to your uncensored question
When I love it, There is nothing you can do to stop it
You can take your hatred and shove it
The God's got me covered
We can sit and look at each other
Until ya eyes bleed and water stream from it
Why would I be peaceful on how we treat each other
When all my life you try to turn me into a mediapuppet
But didn't take and now it's time for revenge mothafuckers
Never been a serpent lover, I'm a serpent slayer
I cut off ya heads with a laser
Burn skin off face and put ya skull in my chamber
Observation from a former era dating back to pre-dator
The head of the creator showed up in my poems
He told me to drive forward to the fullest
And to look for a pilot called Noah
And I had to love him in order to destroy him
You can take my heart but you can't take my soul bitch!
(Chorus 2x)
This is the galactic fight,
That might turn wrong into right,
Don't you see the storm in his eye?
The illuminated pyramid was born to die!

Recorded on January 15th, 2002 by Andrew Lewis.
Wikipedia Excerpt:
"Ayn Rand's heir Leonard Peikoff inherited many of Rand's manuscripts. During her lifetime, Rand had apparently made a comment at one point saying that she would donate her manuscripts to the Library of Congress upon her death, a bequest she later had reservations about.
The Library of Congress requested the manuscripts, and demanded that Peikoff present them to the library. He considered his options, and after a heart attack in July 1991 he decided to turn over the manuscripts. He had his assistant box all of the manuscript pages except for two--the first and last pages of The Fountainhead--which he had framed. In their stead, he had the pages photocopied so that the manuscripts would be "complete." An appraiser went through the manuscripts and notified the Library of Congress about the replacement pages, but the Library of Congress replied that it was of no consequence.
Some years later, Peikoff held an interview in his home with a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, and when asked about the pages (which had been framed and hung on the wall of his office), Peikoff joked about having "stolen" them from the Library of Congress. This apparently went into the article, and not long after that the Library of Congress contacted Peikoff and demanded that he return U. S. Government property.
After consulting with his lawyer, Peikoff determined that there was not much he could do about his situation. While perhaps he had a right to keep the papers and even though they were legally his (his argument is that he had never donated them to the library, so they had never been property of the U. S. Government), and even though he might win a lawsuit against the government, the process would be long and expensive. So he signed a capitulation agreement, but supplied the condition that the Library of Congress must come and retrieve the pages themselves. This retrieval was videotaped by a friend.
Peikoff's personal narrative of the story and video of the manuscript pages' retrieval can be found on his website."

Late last month at the AlwaysOn conference in Manhattan, I caught up with Vincent Schavione, the Philadelphia-based entrepreneur and angel who announced the launch of FountainHead, an online network of lifestyle shows.
Some of the shows have received mixed initial reviews from the web video digerati. From my perspective, I wonder who is going to watch all these broadband, destination-based online shows. But, there is room for innovation and smart moves.
FountainHead is producing both English and Spanish-language versions of the shows. I haven't heard of other narrowcasters doing this and I think it is really smart. Surely the Spanish-speaking audience in the U.S. is growing and will consume online video programming.
Moreover, there are huge untapped global markets for online video in the native language. I was speaking with Rocketboom's creator Andrew Baron who told me that the global stage for online video is largely under served. (Andrew uses a system in which foreign language speakers input translation captions via tool called dotSUB.)
While English has become a global language, most of the world doesn't speak a lick. Even for those who can read English, they prefer to watch news and entertainment in their native tongue.
Vincent says that the value proposition for a "venture sized" valuation for his company is the expansion into other international markets.
Whether Vincent and his crew find an audience and revenue stream is hard to say. What is very important here is the multilingual approach which is very innovative.
