Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Sophomore Album Slated for Fall Aaron Mandel reports: Yeah Yeah Yeahs have begun work on their new album, and according to what the band has relayed to NME, they intend to record the bulk of it in March for an autumn release. Despite this concrete timeline, however, the actual content of the second full-length is still very much up in the air. According to bandleader Karen O, the group is "not interested in making Fever to Tell, Part 2. The pressure is to re-invent ourselves. We don't know how we're going to do it yet but I think it's in our best interests to try and explore other directions." http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/05-01/14.shtml

SCIENTISTS have found the first example of a male that wins a mate byCROSS-DRESSING. Male giant Australian cuttlefish outnumber females by four to one — so the girls are picky. To compete, wimpy fellas hide their fourth arms — a male characteristic — and change colour to copy the females’ mottl http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005030595,00.html

I think you might change your tune if you spent a night listening to Classical music under the stars at the Hollwyood Bowl. My sense is that the social settings you were brought up in probably soured you on the genre-- My favorite classical music composers were the Russian romantics Rimsky-Korsokov--they were as loud and vibrant as Led Zeppelin. Lots of times, I put on a classical station as bg music to relax. And a lot of great movies have incorporated classical music--Amadeus for one. What's not like to like? http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/3606/start.html Curious as to what other members feel about classical music. What are your favorites?

Welcome to Beatking, Cougar. Loved those tunes. I think I'm gonna refer your question to Kooperman, Umma and Nate, our resident specialists in this area....

Thanx for the heads up and welcome to BK, Bozley. The bands got a nice high energy sound - thanx again for the post.

I'm allergic to Texas nuts, particuarly those of that belong to the Redneck variety

Not yet. Im waiting to his price comes down. What I really want is a Cannon...

Cannons, Nikons & Hasselblads are supposed to be the best... I think a Cannon would probably be best in this price range

According to Steve Wishnia, the criteria for the suggested (lol) banning is as follows: Clear Channel suggested that certain songs are "inappropriate" for airplay in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks: 1) Almost any reference to planes 2) Lyics that took on new context in light of the of the attacks. The Surfaris' instrumental "Wipeout." ROTFL 3) Funereal Stuff 4) Antiwar lyrics. John Lennon's "Imagine!!! 5) Pro-war tunes 6) Excessively positive songs 7) Nihilistic songs 8) Anything by Cat Stevens or Rage Against the Machine 9) Inexplicable Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York"? Neil Diamond's "America"? Maybe they should have stopped playing music altogether

I wonder if it's a social statement or a parody -- i like the contrast

The Coming DVD Format War JORDAN GREENHALL sat before a flat-panel television that glowed with remarkably crisp, bright images, offering it as evidence that he could put a full-length movie in high-definition quality on a standard DVD, with room to spare. Neat trick. So neat, in fact, that it would seem to upstage the efforts of the biggest consumer electronics companies and Hollywood studios, which are choosing sides in a battle between two high-definition DVD formats, Blu-ray and HD DVD. Those formats, expected to reach North America late this year, will require ultra-high-capacity DVD's and a new class of expensive players. The advent of Blu-ray and HD DVD may give rise to a format war reminiscent of the Betamax-VHS contest in the early days of videocassette recorders. At stake are potentially billions of dollars in hardware and discs as the demand for high-definition content grows. In the midst of the battle, for which the two sides mounted elaborate floor displays this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mr. Greenhall is asking, Why wait for the giants to sort it all out? There's a little guy, he said, with a high-definition solution right now: his own company's DivX 6 software. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/20/technolo...its/20blue.html

Vibrators Please According to a new international survey, Icelandic women own more vibrators per capita (52 percent) than women in any other country. Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen says that the survey, conducted by condom manufacturers Durex, that the vibrator category is the only category Norwegian women do well in, surpassed only by their Icelandic cousins. The survey reached 350 thousand people in 41 countries. http://icelandreview.com/icelandreview/dai...w_0_a_id=109988
