Alpinekat - The Large Hadron Rap A couple weeks ago, a friend passed along a link to this awesome rap about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built under the France-Switzerland border by CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Il cantautore americano Ben Folds tornerà con il nuovo album "Way to normal" il 30 settembre. Intanto è appena uscito il singolo "Hiroshima", di cui di seguito trovate il curioso video ufficiale. Da quando ha lasciato i suoi Ben Folds Five per proseguire in proprio (era il 2000), aveva pubblicato solo due dischi, più la colonna sonora del film " La gang del bosco " due anni fa. Nello stesso anno s'era fatto notare anche per essere stato il primo artista a rendere disponibile un suo concerto in diretta su Myspace . [...]

One of my all-time favorite indie rock artists (and the only man I have ever seen bloody his fingertips on a piano) Ben Folds [ Official Site , Myspace ] has a new video for his latest single, "Hiroshima," from his upcoming third solo album, Way to Normal . In this creative-as-hell stop-motion animation video ( more dashes than your average sentence or your money back! ), the animation follows a really loose plot that follows the narrative of the choruse and features a go-go dancing Kewpie doll and Ben's little figure standing tall on a [...]

The Good: Beck - "Gamma Ray"; Beck really dropped a bomb with his last release. The Information may have been his weakest album to date, and that paired with a fairly quick turn around time left my anticipation for his next album at an all-time low. But the news that he was working with Danger Mouse changed that up a bit, and on "Gamma Ray" we hear for the first time how well that pairing has

Last week the world was introduced to a spider named Neil Young. Jason Bond, a biologist at East Carolina University, discovered a new species of trapdoor spider and chose to name it Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi after the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter. The article notes that earlier this year a whirligig beetle was named after Roy Orbison, which naturally got me thinking cover songs... I remember Harrison Ford had something named after him (two, it turns out: Calponia harrisonfordi , a spider, and Pheidole harrisonfordi , an ant) so I figured there would [...]
