Model of the 1962 Republic Apollo LEM proposal. Loving the type on this. The bottom two images are concepts by competing manufacturers. On July 25, 1962, NASA invited 11 firms to submit proposals for the LEM. Of the 11 invited, 9 submitted proposals. The firms that submitted proposals were Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, Ling-Temco-Vought, Grumman, Douglas, General Dynamics, Republic, and Martin Marietta. Grumman was the winner. This model is owned by the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island NY. Via Pcarsola Permalink [...]
question: who should be doing the Super Bowl halftime show instead of Madonna? answer: ELTON JOHN ! why the HELL is Madonna performing at the Super Bowl? that is lame! why not a true rick icon like Eton John? he is a bigger star than that bitch. just about any band would be better than the material girl. better question: why the hell is Madonna in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? what the hell is "rock and Roll' about her? i don't love the chic's music but i can acknowledge that she has [...]
C'est dans le Texas des années 50 que la jeune Janis Lyn Joplin éduque son oreille au blues et forge la personnalité rebelle et déjantée de Pearl , son surnom qui servira de titre à son album posthume culte. Garçon manqué, elle est martyrisée par ses camarades de classes qui se moquent de son allure et de son style. Elle se réfugie rapidement dans la musique et se passionne pour des chanteuses blues telles Big Mama Thorton , Odetta ou encore Bessie Smith dont [...]
Vendredi 3 février c'est le retour de la Surpat' dans la chapelle du Café A qui se transformera l'espace d'une nuit en temple des 602s . Les disques-jockeys du Mellotron et de la Surpat' s'associent aux platines pour un crossover d'anthologie entre hits rock'n'soul et tubes yéyés. Le premier érudit capable de citer l'ensemble des huit originaux (titre + artiste) des reprises yéyés ci-dessous remporte trois places (et son poids en glaces) pour la fête 602s de l'année. C'est bath ! › [...]
Boy has it been a good week to be a card-carrying member of the D'Angelo Stan Club!! After over a decade of cruelly keeping us waiting for the follow-up to 20002s Grammy-winning Voodoo , the reclusive soul man made his first steps in making 2012 (hopefully) the year of his official comeback, kicking off a European tour a couple days back of which footage has begun popping up all over the Web, getting over-excited D fans all over the world a chance to see the "Brown Sugar" singer in action again, performing not [...]
Arctic Monkeys ' previous trips to BBC's Live Lounge saw them covering Girls Aloud's "Love Machine" and Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" with fantastic results, so simply the idea of them going back to the female pop well for their latest LL remake pick dubs it an instant must-hear, especially if that cover choice happens to be Katy B's "Katy On A Mission" , one of 20112s baddest club offerings. As exciting as it would be to hear Alex Turner & Co. get [...]
Sucettes pour tout le monde, c'est France qui régale ! Vendredi 3 février c'est le retour de la Surpat' dans la chapelle du Café A , le retour "de la plus grande fête sixties de tous les temps" dixit Daniel Filipacchi. Début des années 60, les idoles yéyés en manque d'inspiration reprennent joyeusement les tubes anglais et américains, "Hit The Road Jack" se transforme en " Fiche Le Camp Jack " et "Baby Love" devient "Bébé Douceur" dans la bouche de Roxane... [...]
Partant de ses racines blues et gospel, Bobby "Blue" Bland fait partie avec B.B King et Junior Parker des pionniers de la scène rhythm and blues de Memphis et plus généralement de la Southern soul . Robert Calvin Bland grandit à Rosemark dans l'état du Tennessee, il déménage à l'âge de 17 ans pour Memphis où il partage son temps entre la chorale de gospel et les jam sessions de Beale Street . C'est dans cette rue qu'il rencontre B.B. King et Rosco Gordon [...]
He's back again. If you're an Indie music lover and you're not familiar with Jhameel by now, you might want to tune in a bit. The kid has been featured on our site multiple times now, and is a particularly unique talent. Last year he put himself on the map with his debut album The Human Condition , and continued with an onslaught of spectacular tracks and singles, most notably his Waves feature. Jhameel is a vending machine of musical treats, but unlike those crafty machines you waste your money on at the job, his [...]

Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune offers an authentic look at a great American folksinger and his turbulent time.
Moins connu que ses contemporains Sam Cooke ou Solomon Burke , James Jay Barnes a été un des nombreux artisans oeuvrant dans l'ombre à la transformation progressive du blues en R&B pour aboutir à la soul au milieu des années 60. Parcours classique. Il passe ses jeunes années dans la MotorTown entre sa troupe de gospel The Halo Gospel Singers et les chaînes de montage de Chrysler Corp. A 17 ans il enregistre ses premiers singles pour la maison Kable puis pour Mickay, Scepter et Ric-Tic Records [...]

You know that feeling when you find something and you instantly need to share it with the "world". This is an example of what i feel right now. This is a rework by Ben Zaven Crane aka Mojo Filter and Jules a k a Fear of Theydon . Besides being a huge fan of Beatles, the original of this track has a personal meaning to me. I could spend hours talking about it.... anyway these guys have done an amazing job here. They slowed down a little, extended and it also features unused acapella and guitar parts [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Quilt – "Quilt"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3968866_lg.jpg)
Tweet Being a sucker for three part harmonies and any music that is conscientiously layered, I kind of expected to love Quilt , a band whose layered but homely sound is right there in the name. The drifting, languid tunes that populate their eponymous debut were formed in a series of long jams, with the band riffing on established chord sequences until concrete songs emerged that sound unlike anything you've heard... recently. You see, just as the name Quilt [...]
Une sélection RCRD LBL pas piquée des hannetons - bien que l'emploi d'un tel vocable soit proscrit en 2012, semble-t-il. Un banc dédié aux après-midi ensoleillées, les frous-frous s'agitant sous la douce brise, tout ceci semblerait bien pittoresque - et presque risible - s'il n'y avait pas ces trompettes salvatrices, annonciatrices des plus belles choses que la soul music puisse produire, & que la hip-hop music puisse sampler. Stacy Lane - No Ending [...]
To be a fan of Theophilus London , one has to be used to expecting the unexpected, the alt-rapper's stylistic randomness (his beats of choice being a varied platter that includes electro, Top 40 pop, '802s funk, indie and everything in between) and "sometimes I rhyme fast/ sometimes I sing sweet" vocal stamps nearly guaranteeing an entirely different listening experience from song to song. So the fact that he would offer, as a Xmas treat for fans, an all-sung remake of a rare Marvin Gaye holiday number shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. [...]

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more [...]
One could be forgiven for not being able to successfully place indie three-piece Little Racer as a modern-day outfit hailing from Brooklyn on an initial blind listen to their debut single "Split For The Coast". Blame it on the song's ever-mutating construct, an endlessly fascinating threading of various genres and musical eras that touches on ragged East Coast lo-fi garage, a breezy '602s West Coast swing inspired by the surf-guitar bubblegum and sweet male doo-wop of the Beach Boys and wait, is that bossa nova (?), to color the somber story of a guy having to [...]
