NPR: Carl Sagan And Ann Druyan's Ultimate Mix Tape Of The Human Experience
This is pretty awesome.“This is a love story. And, oddly enough, it starts with an interstellar space mission and a golden record.”
For all of you lovebirds out there, for the love weekend.
“So how do you decide what to put on the ultimate mix tape of the human experience? What do you do if you have one shot at describing humanity to an unknown life form?”

The only existing film images of Anne Frank have been loaded on to YouTube by Amsterdam museum the Anne Frank House.
The footage, from 1941, is the only time Anne has been captured on film. The 20-second footage uploaded to the museum’s recently launched Anne Frank Channel shows Anne’s neighbour on her wedding day. A 13-year-old Anne is seen nine seconds into the video, leaning out of a second-floor window to get a better look at the bride and groom. At the time of the wedding the bride-to-be lived at No 37 Merwedeplein, next door to the Franks at No 39.
The scene was filmed on 22 July 1941, just under a year before the Frank family went into hiding above the family business. (via)

For my Art Historian friends. Also true.
“ My next door neighbor is an Iranian immigrant who came here in 1977. He just received a SAT phone call from his brother in Tehran who reports that the rooftops of nighttime Tehran are filled with people shouting ‘Allah O Akbar’ in protest of the government and election results. The last time he remembers this happening is in 1979 during the Revolution. Says the sound of tens of thousands on the rooftops is deafening right now. ”

“ A group of DJs from London and the Midlands were arrested and their homes raided on Wednesday over a suspected music royalties scam which is the first of its kind dealt with by Metropolitan police detectives. They are alleged to have placed their own music on iTunes, the Apple music store, and Amazon, and used stolen credit card details to buy it. It is claimed they generated about £450,000 in download sales with stolen card details - even catching the eye of music industry chiefs as a new emerging talent. ”
I guess if my EP tanks, I could try this?
hmm. At least its sort of creative. Ha!

Interestingly, the DJs set up their digital distribution through TuneCore.

Somebody made a music video…well sort of! I just found this video where my mix for “If Moon Was Cookie” was added over the actual video. It totally made my night!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. We sure are lucky the moon is not cookie.
