TDEP have been around for almost 14 years—a minor miracle given the relentless energy their music demands. They play mathcore, a punk-metal hybrid that demands two things of its musicians: world-class time-keeping ability, and the belief that repeating a riff is risking stagnation. Not surprisingly, TDEP are virtuosi whose ability to maneuver odd time signatures at harrowing speeds is nonpareil.

...practitioners of the occult, an aberration which may contribute to his perceived lack of connection to the rural masses. In his video speeches to Red Shirt protesters, Thaksin has accused Abhisit of having no religion. But Wassana believes Abhisit, because of his Thai upbringing, probably has some degree of belief in the supernatural and predicts he will stage a ceremony when the current protests are over to remove the blood curse put on Government House, where he works.

...good. Most of my students are writers, and they can see my book from a literary standpoint and appreciate it as a literary work. Sure, I walk into class to very wide eyes sometimes, but I am very forthright with my students and clear about my belief that you cannot attach a specific value to any kind of experience. Especially as a writer. Anything that challenges me, that makes me see the world in a more generous, nuanced way, is valuable - necessary, even, as an artist...
