NPR's Adam Cole reports , "it was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. But better medicine and improved agriculture resulted in higher life expectancy for children, dramatically increasing the world population." Can you imagine what the population will be when people are living to 125 years and nobody really dies unless they want to? BTW: The symbolic seventh billion person was born yesterday .

Die-Rek - Remember (Single) MC/Producer Die-Rek out of Toronto Canada is back with the second single "Remember" off of his recently released project The Die-Version. "Remember" is a track 99.9% of the population can relate too. Whether it was a rich or poor relationship from the past or mistaken identity, forgotten memories always try to make an appearance and this track is a story of just that.

Former Berlin finance minister and hugely successful author of a book about, among other things, how immigrants are dumbing down Germany and a burden on its social market economy, Thilo Sarrazin , came to Kreuzberg with a ZDF camera crew last Friday to "have a dialogue" with the local population. Shockingly , he wasn't greeted with open arms. He visited the Hasir restaurant on Adalbertstrasse, the Turkish market on Maybachufer and, finally, the Turkish Alevi Community Centre on Waldemarstrasse, meeting with loud disapproval at every stop. At the community centre he [...]

Next Thursday will mark the first Global Dance Festival that I've ever attended. The only thing I can think of most is catching Empire of the Sun. The part concert, part Cirque de Soleil act has me drawn like a mosquito to an overweight person in the dead of summer. I'm kind of bummed that the show is only one hour, however the rest of the lineup seems kind of hit or miss. It will be my first Red Rocks show this year and wondering if I should bring my glowsticks? [...]

I tend to gravitate towards artists that sing about geography, whether it's Sufjan Stevens with his states project , The Mountain Goats with his various geographic odes , or The Rural Alberta Advantage's dedication to their Hometowns . This week Bon Iver released the first track, "Calgary" to his excellent new album Bon Iver, Bon Iver , which triggered a subsequent leak a couple hours later. Largely due to his relentless touring schedule, Bon Iver was inspired by places and [...]
"A kid who rats on another kid...is a dead kid!" - Ritchie White (Matt Dillon in Over The Edge, 1979) In terms of genre, when it comes to film, teenage rebellion/ennui is a veritable cottage industry. While it may go in and out of vogue, every decade seems to produce at least a couple of [...]
Salon examines the counter-intuitive thought on the world's over-population . But according to the veteran environmental writer Fred Pearce, they're all wrong. In his latest book, "The Coming Population Crash: And Our Planet's Surprising Future," Pearce argues that the world's population is peaking. In the next century, we're heading not for exponential growth, but a slow, steady decline. This, he claims, has the potential to massively change both our society and our planet: Children will become a rare sight, patriarchal thinking will fall by the wayside, and middle-aged culture will replace our predominant [...]

The Voice Of The People This came up covertly during the election. Populism isn't just popular in America; it is becoming the dominant paradigm, and that has the Establishment frightened. Don't pooh-pooh Populism is a great take on current affairs...

BBC Broadcaster and world-renowned naturalist has joined Optimum Population Trust, which addresses he "taboo" subject of over-population. He said that human number are "frightening" and they should be curbed in order to maintain the natural state of the earth and the struggling wildlife. I don't understand why it's a "taboo" subject as the BBC is reporting. It's plain and simple, stop thinking you own this earth and start breeding less. Nothing more, nothing less. In any case, wildlife aside, i don't get why anyone would want to bring children into this earth without securing a great standard of [...]

Longtime fans of punk music would likely consider it an unwarranted insult if one related the duration of a song to the peak of the listener's attention span. From legendary groups like Wire to the aptly named Minutemen, some of punk's greatest innovators have made their mark by producing hundreds of songs under the standard length of three minutes. Contrary to the beliefs of some though, it was not done because a particular fan base had the attention span of a young child. But rather, the excitable nature of the music was designed best for concise displays of brilliance that [...]
