Here’s why we all live in endless, soulless, corporate musical hell:

“A relatively small number of producers and top-liners create a disproportionately large share of contemporary hits, which may explain why so many of them sound similar. The producers are almost always male: Max Martin, Dr. Luke, David Guetta, Tricky Stewart, the Matrix, Timbaland, the Neptunes, Stargate. The top-liners are often, although not always, women: Makeba Riddick, Bonnie McKee, and Skylar Grey are among Dean’s peers. The producer runs the session and serves as creative director of the song, but the top-liner supplies the crucial spark that will determine whether the song is a smash.”

In advance of Dean’s arrival at Roc the Mic, Stargate had prepared several dozen tracks. They created most of them by jamming together on keyboards until they came up with an “idea”—generally, a central chord progression or a riff—around which they quickly built up a track, using the vast array of preprogrammed sounds and beats at their disposal. Hermansen likens their tracks to new flavors awaiting the right soft-drink or potato-chip maker to come along and incorporate them into a product.

Famed sitarist Ravi Shankar dies at 92 – latimes.com: “Ravi Shankar, the revered master of the sitar who introduced Indian music to much of the Western world, died Tuesday in San Diego County. He was 92.

Shankar  was a hippie musical icon of the 1960s, playing  at  Woodstock and hobnobbing with The Beatles.

In 1966 the Indian musician met Beatle George Harrison,  who became his most famous disciple and gave the musician-composer unexpected pop-culture cachet. Harrison labeled Shankar ‘the godfather of world music.’”

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. – Facts – Fatal Facts: “Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call ‘turning to sugar’. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will ‘crystallize’. When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.”

tonymacx86 – Free Photoshop alternative GIMP gets a huge OS X update: “GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program), the long-standing open-source alternative to Adobe’s Photoshop, has now become a full fledged native OS X application. In the past the application had relied upon the windowing system X11, which in turn greatly affected performance and overall usage.

For people familiar with GIMP the transition will be easy as it retains much of the feel and setup of the pre-native version. New users should find it fairly easy to pick up for most basic image editing needs. And of course the best part for all users: it’s totally free! Head on over to the GIMP downloads page to try it out. Let us know in the comments what you think!”

roio » Blog Archive » SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN: “JOHN COLTRANE QUARTET
The Sun Ship Sessions 1965 [no label, 1CD]
Sessions at RCA-Victor Studios, New York City, August 26, 1965. Broadcast on WKCR, Sept 23, 2001. Ex FM stereo.

‘In 2001, WKCR made a broadcast containing the unreleased takes of the Sunship Album. These takes have never been released officially.’ – Maurizio.

Sun Ship was an album that followed in the same vein as the late 1964 album, A Love Supreme. That was Coltrane’s famous album dedicated to the Supreme Being, God. After A Love Supreme, Coltrane continued with his spiritual journey which gave power to his music. The albums that followed, Ascension, Meditations, Kulu Se Mama and the post-humously released Om and Infinity, all recorded in 1965, displayed a man describing his faith and beliefs through music and chants. Sun Ship was recorded in August of that year.

Coltrane chose free jazz as the vehicle for his searching. Although neither Albert Ayler nor Archie Shepp or Pharoah Sanders, the free jazz advocates, sit in on these sessions, Tyner, Garrison and Jones felt the music just as deeply.

Sun Ship is an underrated album in the Coltrane canon but as the reviewers at the Penguin Guide To Jazz suggest, ‘it’s high time this fine record was better known’.

Thanks to Maurizio and u014945 who uploaded the show on Dime, April, 2012.”

New Mac ads: landing with a serious thud « Observatory:

SHIT SHIT SHIT! You know Jobs is rolling in his grave!!!!!!!!!

I did think that concept of Mayday was funny. But the smiles were mighty hard to come by after that. If you’re going to go the sitcom route — and that’s a very big “if” — you’ll need some writers who are up to the task. The script for Basically just makes me squirm. It’s like going to open mike night at the local comedy club.
“I know it’s hard to say after viewing the new batch of Mac ads that debuted on the Olympics. I’m still in a bit of shock myself.

Sure, Apple has had a low point or two in its advertising past — but its low points are usually higher than most advertisers’ high points.

This is different. These ads are causing a widespread gagging response, and deservedly so. I honestly can’t remember a single Apple campaign that’s been received so poorly.”

FROM THE COMMENTS:
This is what happens when Phil Schiller & Tim Cook are put in charge of advertising at Apple.

I have been calling for Phil Schiller to leave Apple for several years now, and this is even more proof of how important that is. Not to mention how terrible Phil’s previous 2 ad campaigns have been since Steve died (the horrible celebrity Siri spots & the horrible Retina MacBook Pro ad). The fact that Tim Cook looks the other way while these ads are approved is absolutely disgusting as well.Phil Schiller is NO Steve Jobs, he has NEVER been Steve Jobs, and the only thing that he ever did well was let Steve Jobs keep his terrible instincts in check. Steve Jobs would have NEVER approved this ad campaign. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER.

Apple ads are supposed to appeal to people emotionally, are supposed to be simple, are supposed to be iconic, are supposed to be witty, are supposed to be award-winning.

Instead, these ads are absolutely horrible and they only say one thing: “Mac products are so incredibly difficult to use that you need a Mac Genius to help you use them.”

I think it’s way past overdue for Phil Schiller to either resign from Apple, or read Ken Segall’s amazing book, “Insanely Simple”.

It’s just so obvious that Phil Schiller doesn’t know what is going on with advertising.

Even worse is that Tim Cook is so asleep at the wheel that he allows Phil’s crap to make it to the air.

Both Phil & Tim are a disgrace to Apple. The unraveling of Apple & the downward fall of Apple has already begun. I hate just about everything that Phil & Tim have done in the last 6 months… the ad campaigns are just one part of their miserable failures.

McCain: Adelson funding Romney Super PAC with ‘foreign money’ | The Cable: “Senator and Romney presidential campaign surrogate John McCain (R-AZ) said Thursday that casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is indirectly injecting millions of dollars in Chinese “foreign money” into Mitt Romney’s presidential election effort.

“Much of Mr. Adelson’s casino profits that go to him come from his casino in Macau, which says that obviously, maybe in a roundabout way foreign money is coming into an American political campaign,” McCain said in an interview on PBS’s News Hour.

“That is a great deal of money, and we need a level playing field and we need to go back to the realization… that we have to have a limit on the flow of money and corporations are not people,” he said.

Adelson announced Thursday he would be giving $10 million to the pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future, and reports stated his future contributions to pro-Romney groups could be “limitless.”"

Max Dax and A.J. Samuels talk to Blaine L. Reininger | Electronic Beats: “As a student of electronic music at San Francisco City College in the late seventies, Tuxedomoon’s Blaine L.

At the time (and place), the then novel electronic instruments were more geared towards experimentation than making pop songs—a distinction for which Reininger, a classically trained violinist, had little use.

The Dream Herb & Other Lucid Dreaming Supplements | dream studies portal: “The latest trend in lucid dreaming is the prescribed use of supplements to increase dream recall and trigger more dreams where you become aware you are dreaming. These supplements, which include herbs, enzymes and Flintstone vitamins, can greatly increase your chance to go lucid.

But they will not do the trick alone.

In a nutshell, these supplements are worthless if not taken with the right mindset, as well as more traditional forms of lucid dreaming induction.

At best, a supplement taken without mental preparation will increase the chances for a beginner lucid dreamer to be jolted into lucidity – but the lucid dream scene that emerges may be difficult to handle due to the beginner’s own inexperience with juggling the rawness of lucidity.

However, taken with intention, respect, and as part of an ongoing mind-training program, these supplements may enhance the opportunities to work with self-awareness in the dream.

OK, that said, lucid dreaming supplements can make your mind go pow.

Here is a break-down of the most common lucid dreaming supplements, also known as oneirogens.”
