Stone Age Flutes Are Window Into Early Music - NYTimes.com
“At least 35,000 years ago, in the depths of the last ice age, the sound of music filled a cave in what is now southwestern Germany, the same place and time early Homo sapiens were also carving the oldest known examples of figurative art in the world.”

Sun Airway is the incredible new project from ex-A-Sides Patrick Marsciell and Jon Bathmus. The Philly-based duo just finished up their first EP Oh, Naoko which is available for free download here.  Their songs live somewhere in the vibe between Panda Bear and Postal Service, but have a distinct sound all their own.  Bright, but delicate.  Tight, but flowing.  Go get it.

 Kodachrome finally taken away - Boing Boing
“We all knew it was coming, but it’s still sad — particularly for photographers who loved the medium. Kodak has discontinued the production of Kodachrome film, and Glen E. Friedman, who shot the classic images above, laments its death in a blog post right here.”

Sad piano in the trash.
adriennes:
perhaps replaced by a digital piano, or worse…nothing at all.
