Double mash-Up from the same album.

 
Just recieved this in my inbox - its a cool article on cracked.com with some interesting info on hidden "stuff" in various albums. Two awesome notables: If you play OK Computer and In Rainbows, in sequential order, but switching from one album to the other, the tracks lead into each other.
3 of the songs of 10,000 Days by Tool mash up into one epic song (as shown in the video).
 
Love this kind of stuff!
 
Check out the full article here.

Woah, WAY older than the oldest complex fossils.

This link has been around for a few months, but claims to be evidence of complex life 1.5 BILLION years earlier than previously discovered. Before this Charnia (pictured) was considered the earliest complex life. This is potentially a huge discovery, so I'm not sure why more mention hasn't been made of it.

Cool and unexpected Deep Purple cover - Perfect Strangers

I was listening to the excellent new album by Norwegian Black Metallers - turned Epic Symphonic... I don't know what to call it! Even the album title doesn't lend clues - Abrahadabra. Whatever it is, the new album is a huge step away from their early days and makes for fantastic listening. There is even a hidden track that will seem very familiar to fans of classic rock. Highly recommend this album. Its the first CD in a long time that I hit play again as soon as it finishes!

Environmental issues suffer from lack of political will. They take place on a timescale longer than the political cycle.

Harsh reality time...
 
"The diversity of genes, species and ecosystems continues to decline, as the pressures on biodiversity remain constant or increase in intensity mainly as a result of human actions."

Some hope in the emissions debate emerges.

It might all seem like doom and gloom, but a recent study indicated that industrialised countries could see emissions fall as a result of the ageing population, however population shifts in developing countries could see an even bigger increase. the lesson - the west needs to help developing nations manage their populations and exploding industries.

How come I never knew that Nirvana's "Come As You Are" and "Eighties" by Killing Joke were so similar?

Nirvana, a hugely influential band and obviously one of the classics of the Grunge era (Nevermind is 19 years old now!!! It's as old now as Woodstock was when it was released). Killing Joke, a hugely underrated influence on industrial metal, and constant genre hoppers. Check out how similar these tracks are!
 
 
 
I discovered this today in a (great) new series on the history of "Alternative Nation" by one of my favourite sites, The Onion AV Club. Being a child of the Grunge generation this has the potential to be really interesting. Enjoy.

Like many, I'm lost for words on the Gulf Oil Disaster - the worst environmental disaster EVER, and worsening every day. I'm even more shocked that we don't seem to have learnt a thing:
 
"Meanwhile, the US government regulators who oversee offshore oil drilling have granted at least 19 environmental waivers for gulf drilling projects and 17 drilling permits since the oil leak began more than a month ago, the New York Times reported on Monday."

Stephen Hawkings thinks aliens are bad.

Aliens. Well, when you look up at the night sky and see the universe it all its glory, its very easy to think that somewhere, out there, something else has managed to evolve out of the primordial ooze. Then along comes someone smart like Stephen Hawkins, and he claims to think the same. Awesome! But then again, if those aliens are something like us, they're probably not travelling millions of light years across the universe to take holiday snaps right?

"The Chilean quake shifted enough material to change the mass balance of our entire planet"

That quote (from Richard Gross of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA) in California) seems insane, but according to Nasa, its a possibly a major cause of climate change. Cause or Effect?
 
 Pictures of widespread devastation leave no doubt: Last month's 8.8 magnitude earthquake in coastal Chile was strong. How strong? NASA scientists say it might have shifted the axis of Earth itself.

The beautiful and interesting world of Marwencol.

Another amazing site courtesy of Neatorama.

"After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark built a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populated the town he dubbed “Marwencol” with dolls representing his friends and family and created life-like photographs detailing the town’s many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helped Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds from the attack. Through his homemade therapy, Mark was able to begin the long journey back into the “real world”, both physically and emotionally – something he continues to struggle with today."

Impossible Hampster

Globally we are consuming nature’s services – using resources and creating carbon emissions – 44 per cent faster than nature can regenerate and reabsorb what we consume and the waste we produce.
In other words, it takes the Earth almost 18 months to produce the ecological services that humanity uses in one year.
The UK’s footprint has grown such that if the whole world wished to consume at the same rate it would require 3.4 planets like Earth.
