fripp quit music "Robert Fripp says his legal battle against Universal Music Group has rendered his musical career “an exercise in futility” – and that’s why he’s given it up. The King Crimson mainman has been embroiled in a rights fight with the giant label for five years, leading to his abandonment of music-making, with no certainty he’ll return. He’s furious over the way in which Universal has bought up a series of independent labels that own parts of his back-catalogue, and believes it’s led to the release of unauthorised and unaccounted works under his name. He cites the example of rapper Kanye West’s single Power, based on Crimson’s classic track 21st Century Schizoid Man – which had been heard over a million times on YouTube before he was even asked whether the sample could be used. Fripp tells FT.com: “I couldn’t concentrate on music, so I made the choice to give up my career as a musician in the frontline to deal with the business.” He says the arrangement between artist and label has “moved from a symbiotic relationship to a parasitic relationship.”"

spherical glass amplifies solar energy collection "Solar energy collection has had some vast improvements over the last few years; however these new prototypes from German-born, Barcelona-based architect André Broessel are quite striking since his concept uses a spherical glass to amplify the sun’s rays for electricity generation. Traditionally, solar energy collection becomes effective on vast scales, especially in solar farms, where panels orient themselves optimally to gather the most light possible. The spherical ball acts as a ball lens, and its specific geometric structure is said to improve energy efficiency by 35%. In contrast to traditional photovoltaic dual-axis solar panels, the ball lens incorporates a fully rotational, weatherproof tracking system, which will work adequately on inclined surfaces and curtain walls. This could allow any building to be retrofitted with these glass lenses to generate more solar power."

This month, WKCR-FM NY is honoring the centennial of defining 20th-century composer John Cage (1912-1992).

Tune in during the month for special broadcasts of Cage’s Opera Mix, recorded at WKCR in 1987, and for exclusive interviews with Cage’s friends and collaborators.

electronic cigarettes are waste of health and money "Electronic cigarettes are also harmful to lungs, researchers from the University of Athens in Greece concluded. The report from the scientists was presented at the annual congress of the European Respiratory Society in Vienna. Electronic cigarettes deliver nicotine through steam, not smoke. In this case, there is no combustion, but nicotine still comes from tobacco. The controversy about the safety of such devices emerged as soon as the devices appeared on the market. The Greek experts studied the short-term effects of e-cigarettes on various people, including those who did not suffer from lung diseases. The experiment involved eight people who never smoked and 24 smokers - 11 with normally operating lungs, and 13 people - either with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. Each of the volunteers was smoking an e-cig for ten minutes. Afterwards, the researchers measured through a series of tests how the respiratory system could resist the smoke and absorb oxygen."

"Jaleel Shaw Although I've been downloading from iTunes a lot more lately, I'm still reluctant to download recordings that don't include the liner notes/digital booklets.... I've been tempted, but I'm holding off... I just bought a bunch of CDs that have some great liner notes with some great information (for starters - who else is playing on the cd..) So.. Since I realize downloading is the future of music.. Blue Note... Prestige... Verve... Can we please get some liner notes?"
