NPR: Carl Sagan And Ann Druyan's Ultimate Mix Tape... →
mlee525: yvynyl: “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. This is pretty awesome. “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?”

Your NPR Name
This is Lahura Mulu signing off…. radarchive: liana: Eric and I recently discovered a shared fascination with the slew of impossibly named NPR hosts we listen to every day: Renee Montagne, Steve Inskeep, Corey Flintoff, Korva Coleman, Kai Ryssdal, Dina Temple-Raston. In fact, we’ve often wondered what it would be like to be one of them.  A Nina Totenberg or a Renita Jablonski.  A...

New Music Strategies (or my life in a nutshell)
I’ve been doing a lot of research on the ways we can empower ourselves as artists in a world that offers all the tools we need but where little blips can get lost in the din. Thankfully, the more I learn, the more i realize that I’m on the right path. Thank the gods for the internet and for all the blessed geeks that make it happen. I wanna be a geek when I grow up. Great article on...

Desiderata
lizlemon: Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

poetry365: Evening At the end of the gift of light, returning, Draw, with white arm raised, the effective curtain, Swiftly serry the folds in ranks of twilight, Strike the camp of the day. Within are burning Small reliable suns of yellow lamplight On the fields of our room, where all is certain. Morning Slow, the whispering says that night is ended; Life, awaiting the step of who shall...
