Announcing End Bailouts dot Org and Petition By Hepnova, Monday, September 22, 2008 Announcing the establishment of EndBailouts.org ( http://EndBailouts.org ), an online resource and petition to end the bailouts : In the four days since the AIG bailout, the swine Paulson and his lackey Bernake managed to concoct an outrage so monumental that it makes the AIG bailout look like shoplifting. One trillion dollars -- equivalent to the cost so far of the Iraq War -- of your money is now on the line to purchase the bad debt of big corporations. Including foreign banks! And unlike the AIG bailout, when the failed private businesses take your money under this plan, they don't surrender control of their company to you. Instead, you get the bad debt, and the reckless companies keep the good! So they stay solvent while your public debt is nearly ten trillion (!) dollars and the deficit in the budget is nearly half a trillion. We don't have the cash on hand to bail out private companies who made bad bets. We're deep in debt to foreign interests and other entities whose aims may not exactly jive with ours. Paulson and his henchmen have tossed a grenade through our window. We must throw it back! We must stand up right now and resist the establishment of a precedent of public liability for private corporate debts. There is no time to delay -- the swine are working all day and all night with coke-encrusted snouts to cheat your children and future generations out of their freedom. Don't allow yourself to be intimidated by the doomsday rhetoric that Paulson is spewing. We understand the consequences of allowing the market to operate as it should. As Hunter thompson used to say, buy the ticket, take the ride. Effective immediately, we're suspending all music activity in favor of resisting this crime. ( We'll still accept a limited number of design and research contracts. ) Stand with us! Join EndBailouts dot Org at EndBailouts.org and sign the petition, then write your Congresspeople directly and tell everybody you know to take action now! Don't wait -- these crimes depend on hesitation. Sign, write, call at this moment to preserve our values and our money for future generations! New Single!

By Hepnova, Sunday, April 15, 2007 This is it; the hotly-anticipated Hepnova web experience is in effect. Hepnova stands for several things, including the true arbiters of cool and a peerless multimedia services group. This section of the site, however, is about Hepnova the band, who since 1998 have been the most fearless, deffest, and overall most unfadeable crew in pop. Their new single "I Don't Want You" is set to funk up your next dance party with vampy grooves that hit you in th' knee like a doctor's hammer. Using the menu to the right, you'll be able to listen to most of Hepnova's music, view classic photos of the band, buy merchandise, read amazing lyrics, get involved in Hepnova-approved policy causes, and more. Join them on MySpace at http://myspace.com/hepnova. If you're looking for information about Hepnova's Multimedia Services group, which provides world-class production and consulting capabilities in several fields, please visit http://services.hepnova.com. When the rocking commenced in 1998, the band was called The Ronald Raygun and Hepnova was the company set up by the group to record and distribute their own music without industry entanglements. Formed by the most uncompromised and ungovernable academic mavericks at Arizona State University, John Chase, Nicholas DiBiase, Lee-Sean Huang, and Susan Webb, the band created music of astonishing originality and keen vision. A pioneering force in electronic punk and the creators of electrobilly, the Raygun / Hepnova had a tough-minded Modernist bent and operated with strict and defiant DIY methods. The waves of reality have since carried the original admirals of the digital rock armada to disparate parts of the globe. Since 2001, Lee-Sean and Nicholas, under the Hepnova name only, have unleashed shockingly good, innovation-heavy music for the dancefloor and beyond. If you have doubts about the veracity of this puff piece, listen to "Physical Tourette's," "Struggling (remix)," or any of the other classics available in the Music [Mu] section. You'll see what the commotion is all about. For in-depth band information, visit the About [Ab] page, and learn all th' gory details. Copyright (P) © Hepnova 1998 - 2008
