Album Preview: Junkie XL Returns With “Synthesized”
Album Preview: Junkie XL Returns With “Synthesized”:
As I mentioned a few months back, Dutch-born musician, remixer and producer Junkie XL will release his sixth studio album, Synthesized, on November 27th via Nettwerk Records. The LP features the lead single “Gloria,” a pulsating club track with tough, bass-heavy stylings featuring Fredrik of Datarock.
Synthesized features performances by Curt Smith (Tears for Fears) on “When Enough Is Not Enough,” Tommie Sunshine on “Love Machine” and Isis Salam (Chinese Flash Mob, Thunderheist) on “Off The Dancefloor,” as well as spoken word by Timothy Leary on “Leave Behind Your Ego,” with a rare excerpt from “The Psychedelic Experience: Going Out.”
“I enjoy the process and love to challenge my creative self. With each production, I get a clearer vision of where the past, present and future of electronic music exists,” says Junkie XL. “It’s exciting and I’m glad to have watched it change and grow over the last fifteen years.”
Listen to a minimix of Synthesized below. It sounds like it will be a fantastic album!

About Pablo Picasso – Paintings and Biography
About Pablo Picasso – Paintings and Biography:
There are few artists that have had the influence on modern art as much as Spanish painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso (1888-1973). Picasso loved to experiment with new ideas and techniques. He was a master of many styles and art forms, and was a true innovator in his time, inventing and co-founding several art movements, including the Cubist movement (along with Georges Braque).
Pablo Picasso was not an artist who was content with staying the same. He experimented with many mediums, including collage, drawing, print making, ceramics, painting, poetry, stage design, architecture and sculpture.
He was one of the rare artists who managed to achieve great fame and wealth during his lifetime. During his life, he received more notoriety than any other artist in history.
Picasso’s most memorable paintings are Guernica (his interpretation of when Germany bombed Guernica during the Spanish Civil War) and Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) (seen below).

Qui Suis-Je ?
Qui Suis-Je ?:
Sri Ramana Maharshi — (1879-1950)
Sri Ramana Maharshi Le Sage D’arunachala
Toute la démarche spirituelle transmise par Sri Ramana Maharshi
« Qui Suis-Je ? »
Le sage demandait toujours à ses visiteurs d’entrer
Sur le chemin de l’investigation du Cœur spirituel,
La source unique et éternelle de notre Être
Et le centre ultime de notre conscience.
Cette démarche introspective consiste à suivre
La pensée jusqu’à son origine ;
Elle permet alors de dépasser les limites du moi
Créé par les pensées et,
Au cœur de l’observation silencieuse,
D’atteindre la révélation de notre identité réelle :
Le Soi.
L’immersion dans le Cœur spirituel libère la conscience de l’illusion
Qu’il y a un observateur, et un monde observé.
Le sortilège de la dualité apparente est enfin dissipé
Et la lumière du Soi dévoile la Réalité unique,
Éternelle et infinie.
C’est à travers les yeux du Cœur
Que le monde se révèle nimbé du Réel ;
Sinon il ne serait qu’une pure création de nos pensées.
L’un des nombreux poèmes
Composés par Sri Ramana Maharshi dit ceci :
« Lumière de la conscience qui tout embrasse,
C’est en toi que se forme l’image de l’univers,
Qu’elle y demeure et s’y dissout.
Mystère qui détient le miracle de la vérité,
Tu es le Soi intérieur,
Le « Je » vibrant dans le cœur.
Cœur est ton nom o seigneur ! »
Cet État d’être unifié naît du silence mental
Et engendre une paix immuable :
« Celle-ci ne peut régner seulement que lorsqu’il n’y a
Aucun dérangement du à la pensée »
Sri Ramana Maharshi

Aimée, Unis Ton Coeur de Pablo Neruda
Aimée, Unis Ton Coeur:
Aimée,
Nocturne traversée,
Mon amour,
Qu'à l'interrogation
Aimée,
Unis ton coeur au mien
Pendant la nuit :
Que dans notre sommeil
Ils dissipent l'obscur
Comme un double tambour
Combattant dans le bois
Contre l'épais rempart
Du feuillage mouillé.
Nocturne traversée,
Sommeil aux braises noires
Interceptant le fil
Des raisins de la terre
Ainsi qu'un train absurde
En sa ponctualité
Et sans cesse traînant
L’ombre et les pierres froides.
Mon amour,
Relie-moi à ce mouvement pur,
Cette ténacité qui frappe
En ta poitrine
Comme un cygne englouti
Et dont battent les ailes.
Qu'à l'interrogation
Du ciel et des étoiles
Réponde le sommeil
Avec sa seule clé,
Avec sa porte unique
Et que l'ombre a fermé.
Extrait de « La Centaine d'Amour »
Pablo Neruda a écrit ces Cent « sonnets de bois »
À son grand amour, sa dernière femme Matilde Urrutia.
Pablo Neruda

Remembering Janis Joplin: Some Classic Live Performances and Previews of a New Joplin Musical
Remembering Janis Joplin: Some Classic Live Performances and Previews of a New Joplin Musical:
Janis Joplin died forty-two years ago this month at age 27 of the same excesses that killed many of her peers and at the absolute height of her career. But in the mid-nineteen fifties, Joplin was a misfit kid with terrible acne living a lonely existence in Port Arthur, Texas. Then she discovered the blues, and it transformed her. Bessie Smith and Leadbelly, Odetta and Aretha Franklin. By 1964, she was living in San Francisco and recording blues standards with future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. She rose to prominence and found herself a place to fit in with psychedelic pioneers Big Brother and the Holding Company. Big Brother didn’t initially take to Joplin’s soulful rasp, but she eventually won them over, and won millions of fans over to the band, particularly with their second album Cheap Thrills, which spawned the single “Piece of My Heart,” and my favorite, her rendition of blues classic “Ball and Chain.” Her performance of the latter at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 is legendary, and the recording of it above is pristine, with excellent live sound quality and close-up camera angles of Joplin and the rest of the band.
Joplin broke away from Big Brother shortly after Cheap Thrills and formed a solo act, touring and recording with The Kozmic Blues Band, with whom she recorded just one album, I Got Dem ‘Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama!. Critics didn’t love it, but this transitional phase was important for Janis since it enabled her to work in a more blue-based sound better suited to her dramatic persona. Kozmic draws on the classic Stax/Volt records template, with horns and backing vocals as prominent accompaniment. The record’s strongest moments are probably the Bee Gees-penned “To Love Somebody” and the funk-soul “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)” (above in Frankfurt, Germany).
In the last year of her life, Joplin headlined the all-star Festival Express train tour through Canada, with Buddy Guy, The Band, The Grateful Dead, and others. The tour was documented by Academy Award winning cinematographer Peter Biziou and the footage has been acquired by Historic Films Archive, who are digitizing almost 96 hours of film from the tour, including, they claim, the only known live footage of Joplin singing “Me and My Bobby McGee.” In the video above, watch her present the tour’s organizers with a toy train and case of tequila: “The train is for remembering, man. The tequila is for continuing.” Below is a full, energetic, performance of “Tell Mama” from the Festival Express tour:
Joplin continued, through most of that year, to elevate her art, recording the best-selling, posthumously-released Pearl with new backing band Full Tilt Boogie. This is the Joplin most casual fans know—of “Me and My Bobby McGee” and “Mercedes Benz,” and for good reason. One of her final public appearances was on The Dick Cavett Show in June of 1970 (below), where she performs several live numbers with Full Tilt Boogie. In Cavett’s interview with her, Joplin returns to her painful teenage years, saying that her high school classmates “laughed me out of class, out of town, and out of the state.”
While the final period of Joplin’s life saw her produce some incredible work, her name occasionally becomes a shorthand for rock and roll excesses that obscure her amazing, if all-too-brief, career. In an effort to celebrate her life, rather than dwell on her death, the producers of the new show One Night With Janis Joplin (currently at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC) elide the drug abuse that killed her and focus on the music. Joplin’s brother Michael talks about their musical upbringing in the video below, which also includes clips from the loosely-plotted musical, with Mary Bridget Davies as the star.

"WHEELS KEEP ON TURNIN'" mixed media abstract with rusted iron paint by Carol Nelson
"WHEELS KEEP ON TURNIN'" mixed media abstract with rusted iron paint by Carol Nelson:
This was a little demo piece I did for my Park Hill Art Club class. I was demonstrating rusted iron paint and also emobssed aluminum foil.
The photo doesn't show it, but the center part with the embossed
foil is very shiny and beautiful. The dark spots in the upper right are mica flakes that look alternately dark or shiny depending on how the light hits them.
