Call him crazy if you want, but Jack Nicholson was a hip nutty professor back 30 years ago when people were brain dead on gasoline fumes thinking it would last forever… Jack’s Chevy Hydrogen modified car ran perfectly and the Hydrogen was produced by Solar Power. How’s that for thinking ahead?

When I first heard American harpist and singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom, I felt she had come straight out of a faery tale land. Her voice transmits a timeless playful innocence as she recites strangely beautiful lyrics, a product of her creative writing studies at Mills College in Oakland, California. Her first album “The Milk-Eyed Mender” (Drag City, 2004) is a must for fans of avant-garde music, Appalachian folk and “psych folk” styles.

For those of you who have not been swept off by Imogen Heap‘s storm of creativity, I am posting this video of this live performance “Live at Studio 11 103.1FM” recording/playing multiple loops of her voice with the “Ableton Live” elastic audio program and making it look so easy. I first listened to her at the end of Zach Braff‘s movie “Garden State,” with song “Let It Go” recorded with Guy Sigsworth while both performed as the electronic duo “Frou Frou.” She has done songs for the Narnia movies, Heroes TV Series and is presently working on her new album, you can catch funny personal video posts of her progress on her Official Imogen Heap Channel on YouTube.

Fact: According to The United Nations, raising animals for food causes more greenhouse emissions than all the cars, planes, ships and trains in the world.
The meat industry generates billions of pounds of drug-laced feces every year. This toxic waste frequently makes it’s way to our waterways, causing serious environmental impact with deadly consequences to millions of fish.
The end does not justify the means: It can take up to 16 POUNDS of grain to produce just ONE POUND of meat. The demand to grow so much grain to feed farmed animals causes millions of acres of native habitat (like rain forests) to be destroyed and replaced with a single crop. Now you can make a difference by signing peta2′s petition asking to label meat with a clear warning that meat is the number one cause of global warming.
