Shipwreck CSI: Identifying the victims of a migrant tragedy

John Perry Barlow Needs A Miracle

Bob Weir - Live at The Capitol Theatre Port Chester NY (16/10/16)

Bob's 69th Birthday Show with Steve Kimock, Bryan Devendorf, Scott Devendorf, Jon Shaw, Josh Kaufman and Leslie Mendelson. Aaron Dessner also performed with the band for most of the show. He was originally set to tour with the band but had to cancel. Three unannounced female backup singers were also present.
Got to say that Weir's new album 'Blue Mountain' is one of the surprise albums of the year for me. I know a lot of my old deadhead friends had no time for The National curated 'Day of The Dead' covers album but it certainly seems to have fired new life into Bobby

Notes From Chaos: Page 55 - John Murphy (1959 - 2015)


One year passed since John Murphy's death and Notes From Chaos takes a look at some of his works, associations and collaborations dividing the 2 hour podcast into two sections: First hour focused in the 80's and the second hour in the 2000's paying tribute to one of the most active and multifarious musicians in Australia. The episode's sounds varied from New Wave (The Associates) and industrial (Lustmord) to Neofolk (Death In June & Boyd Rice's Scorpion Wind) including bands being member like Knifeladder and Last Dominion Lost and less known collaborations with Espectra Negra (which i thank her for her contribution) and Australian experimental band Gum.

Painting by Scott Listfield

I paint astronauts and, sometimes, dinosaurs.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968, well before I was born, so I have no firsthand knowledge of how it was received. I don’t know if people really believed we'd be living in space in 2001, if we'd have robot butlers and flying cars, geodesic lunar homes, and genetically reconstituted dinosaurs helping or eating us. But from Lost in Space to the Jetsons to Jurassic Park, it seems that popular culture has fostered this space-age perception of the future. Generations raised on these TV shows, movies, comic books, and novels are now grown and living in a future filled with mini vans, Starbucks, iPads, and Hip Hop videos. In many ways, the year 2001 failed to live up to expectations. And yet the world today is peculiar in ways unimagined in 1957, when Sputnik was launched, or in 1968, when 2001 was released, or even in 1994, at the dawn of the internet. The present is in fact a very unusual place, and it's strangest in the ubiquity of things we take for granted.
The astronaut in my paintings is simply here to explore the present
