The Mystery of the Green Menace

The Mystery of the Green Menace: "It's been celebrated as a muse and banned as a poison. Now an obsessed microbiologist has cracked the code for absinthe - and distilled his own."!!!

Western Digital network drives crippled

Western Digital network drives crippled -- no serving any multimedia files: "Gary sez, 'This is the most extreme example I've seen yet of tech companies crippling data devices in order to please Hollywood: Western Digital is disabling sharing of any avi, divx, mp3, mpeg, and many other files on its network connected devices; due to unverifiable media license authentication'. Just wondering -- who needs a 1 Terabyte network-connected hard drive that is prohibited from serving most media files? Perhaps somebody with 220 million pages of .txt files they need to share?'"

thx steve!!!

Are You Not Devo? You Are Mutato - Randall Roberts - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles

Are You Not Devo? You Are Mutato - Randall Roberts - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles: "The Mutato Muzika building in West Hollywood is painted Day-Glo green and looks like a tipped-over hamster wheel, with mirrored windows as rungs that make the building seem like it’s constantly spinning. Beneath the main-floor recording studio is a big, cluttered circular room. To enter you pass a threshold guarded by a Speed Racer rug, and beyond this threshold is a sight that would give the Klaxons or Datarock a conniption: Korgs and Rolands are scattered on the floor. An Optigon, a rare 1970s-era console organ that uses flimsy discs to play odd, ghostly sounds, sits in a corner. Shelves hold computer monitors, cassette decks and DAT machines; tubular bells are ready to be struck; an EMS polysynthesizer and an electrocomp synthesizer await electricity. An Ondioline keyboard that once belonged to Pink Floyd. Boxes are strewn throughout, but look closer and they’re filled with more memorabilia: a hand-written score for the film Drop Dead Gorgeous; busts of Chairman Mao and JFK. "

thx steve!!!

CONTROL :: OFFICIAL

CONTROL...what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone....

FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda

FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda: "Behold the latest shoe from one of my favorite brands Y-3 in collaboration with Legendary Manchester UK nightclub, The Hacienda. The shoe%u2019s awesome (read: dead sexy) design was a collaboration between Peter Saville (original Factory Records designer), Ben Kelly (architect who did The Hacienda%u2019s interior) and Joy Division/New Order Bass player, Peter Cook (not sure why he had this honor). Regardless, never before have I seen so many cooks in the kitchen deliver such a fantastic sneaker-specimen. The sneakers come in a custom six-sided, maple-bottomed box (naturally it%u2019s the same shape as the dance-floor as at The Hacienda). Then, the shoes inside are wrapped in four sheets of tissue paper, two feature Kevin Cummin%u2019s photography in the 80%u2019s, one will show designer Ben Kelly%u2019s original sketches for the clubs interior, and the final will show the current state of the club space. I kid you not%u2013 this is packaging detail at its best, absolutely gorgeous! Along with the incredible package and shoes, lucky buyers will also get a DVD documenting the whole club history and experience. The shoe is a short run at 250 pairs and will sell exclusively in the Y-3 Manchester store for two weeks before it goes into Selfridges in London and Y-3%u2019s flagship in Tokyo. The FAC51-Y3 will be 345 GBP, or just under $700 US."
