Moby autograph signing in New York
Jordan Eagles preserves blood on clear and white Plexiglas within layers of resin, suspending the organic medium’s fluid forms under the resin’s glass-like surface. For nearly a decade, Eagles has been using and preserving blood in his multi-dimensional works as a method to explore themes of regeneration and metaphysical connections between body, spirit and nature.SOURCE: JordanEagles
Siriusmo - Allthegirls EP (Exploited)Siriusmo is Moritz Friedrich, Berlin-based producer, remixer and performer who has positioned himself over the past couple years into a bonafide auteur of revisionist electro-funk and disco—the kind that appeared right at the end of disco's reign and might have been sampled early on in hip hop by the likes of Grandmaster Flash.
Released 01.15.2008
Plants and Animals Plants and Animals’ For/Avec EP has at least one surefire moment where one’s eyebrows find their hairline: when the listener realizes that three white dudes are covering a Nina Simone civil rights narrative.SOURCE: CokeMachineGlow
Parc Avenue often strays too far into excess and departure for departure’s sake to enjoy the brand of a songwriter’s tour-de-force. “Faerie Dance,” “New Kind of Love,” and “Guru” all stray close to or north of seven minutes, often crashing through multiple songwriting ideas before settling on a coda. But as a fully realized and lovingly sculpted aesthetic, there may be few stronger full-length debuts waiting in this year’s wings.
My Bloody Valentine are the first headline act to be announced for this year’s Bestival.
The returning band will play the Isle of Wight event on the Friday night as a UK festival exclusive, as will Aphex Twin who head the Big Top on one of the nights.
The dates for the fifth Bestival, again at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight, are Friday 5th until Sunday 7th September 2008.
Seven-year-old Harp, the "sophisticated rock and pop magazine," is no more. In a statement written by editor-at-large Fred Mills and published on Pop Matters, Glenn Sabin, CEO of Guthrie Inc., the company that purchased the magazine in 2003, says "Harp's critical acclaim never translated into sustaining commercial success. Harp's lifecycle was ill timed with the precipitous decline of the music software industry, coupled with the consolidation of the consumer magazine newsstand business and rising paper and postage costs."

YACHT ROCKJ.D. Ryznar and Hunter D. Stair devised the series after noticing similarities among bands such as Steely Dan, Toto, and The Doobie Brothers. In particular, members of those bands often collaborated with each other and with singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. For example, Loggins and Michael McDonald co-wrote several songs, including Loggins' "This Is It" and The Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes." McDonald himself sang backing vocals for several yacht rock artists, including Steely Dan and Christopher Cross.SOURCE: YachtRock.com
Instead of choking on its vomit in a Paris bathtub or overdosing on a Hollywood sidewalk, Yacht Rock simply told one last story about Steely Dan, then hoisted its sails and drifted away while a satisfied crowd waved goodbye from the docks, exactly one incredible year after its historical debut. Bye, Yacht Rock. We loved you.

"When we recognize the common source of our humanity, the common origins of our dreams and longings, our hopes and fears, we are able to see that we are all joined together in the great miracle of existence. When we can combine our tremendous inner wealth to create a treasure of love and wisdom that is available to all, we are linked together in the exquisite pattern of eternal creation."
"Bollocks" is a word of Anglo Saxon origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in English, as a noun to mean "nonsense" or conversely to mean "top quality" or "perfection", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, and an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless". The common phrases "Bollocks to that!" or "That's a load of old bollocks" expresses a distaste for a certain task, subject or opinion; "the dog's bollocks" expresses the opposite, namely admiration, pleasure or approval. Perhaps the best-known use of the term is in the title of the 1977 punk rock album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. Testimony in a resulting prosecution over the "obscene" term demonstrated that in Old English the word referred to a priest, and could also be used to mean "nonsense".
