  2. I am looking to buy a MIC for recording. Some folks have steered me towards Church for both price and quality.

  4. I needed some laughter today. Contest: CD Giveaway - Kenny G, "Heart and Soul" Before you turn your nose up at Kenny G, just consider the coolness factor of playing with Weezer on an AOL Music Sessions performance promoting the band's recent Raditude album. aritcle I guess 8 am sharp is a key most musicians don't play in. And to compare his practicing to Sonny Rollins. "Kenny G approaches his saxophone playing with the same dedication and resolve as someone like Sonny Rollins, though the end result musically couldn’t be farther apart." The end result is Kenny G: Practice What You Play The iconic smooth jazz saxophonist talks about his music and his golf in a candid interview with JT’s editor in chief Kenny G is practicing. He was supposed to call at 8 am sharp from his home in Southern California, but now it’s almost two hours later and there’s no word. A followup e-mail from his worried publicist sets things in motion and he calls shortly thereafter, apologetic, explaining that he starts practicing early in the morning every day and today he started and got so wrapped up in his exercises that he forgot all about the interview. He then jokes that this is one excuse a jazz magazine can hardly fault. “Especially if I’m doing a thing for JazzTimes, they can’t be too unhappy that I’m practicing, right?” article

  6. I thought New York City was expensive. If you think $43 is too much to pay for lunch, you shouldn't live in Oslo. According to "ECA International", a global human resources company, that's how much an average lunch costs in Norway's capital. But Oslo is only the second-most expensive city on ECA's ranking of 399 global locations. And while the price of an average lunch in Tokyo is a comparatively modest $17.86, other costs, such as a $22 movie ticket and an $8.47 kilo of rice, earn it the dubious honor as the world's most expensive city... article

  11. RIP Fred. Your music was truly original.

  13. God particle signal is simulated as sound By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News Simulated Higgs production at Atlas (Cern) The Higgs boson particle is thought to give all others their mass Scientists have simulated the sounds set to be made by sub-atomic particles such as the Higgs boson when they are produced at the Large Hadron Collider. Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to "listen to the data" and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it. Dr Lily Asquith modelled data from the giant Atlas experiment at the LHC. She worked with sound engineers to convert data expected from collisions at the LHC into sounds. "If the energy is close to you, you will hear a low pitch and if it's further away you hear a higher pitch," the particle physicist told BBC News. "If it's lots of energy it will be louder and if it's just a bit of energy it will be quieter." The £6bn LHC machine on the Swiss-French border is designed to shed light on fundamental questions in physics. It is housed in a 27km-long circular tunnel, where thousands of magnets steer beams of proton particles around the vast "ring". At allotted points around the tunnel, the beams cross paths, smashing together near four massive "experiments" that monitor these collisions for interesting events. Scientists are hoping that new sub-atomic particles will emerge, revealing insights into the nature of the cosmos. Atlas is one of the experiments at the LHC. An instrument inside Atlas called the calorimeter is used for measuring energy and is made up of seven concentric layers. Full article and sound bite
  14. Lester Bowie. How did I not get into his playing before now I don't know. Wynton Marsalis had criticism of Bowie, saying he didn't have a traditional approach to playing the trumpet, I disagree 100%. He had an original approach to playing the trumpet. He left this world to young.
