Radiohead Help With Music for Ed Norton Movie


English / thnks Mabel !!


The 8th annual Variety Screening Series kicked off Tuesday night with Overture Films' new drama, starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. Norton, on hand for a post-screening Q&A at the ArcLight Hollywood, said director John Curran ("The Painted Veil") had been exploring the prison drama for a few years.


"This was John's baby," he said. "When the economy tanked and the financial crisis happened, he said 'We gotta do this now'."


Sitting alongside Variety moderator Peter Debruge, Norton recalled how he and Curran interviewed a number of real-life inmates for the film, which is set in Detriot.


"Fifty percent of the dialogue in this movie came from two guys, in particular," Norton said. "John was like 'If you can do have as well as those two, I'll be thrilled.'"


As for De Niro, whom Norton had previously worked with on "The Score," Norton shook his head and sighed, "Honestly, the last 10 Best Actors couldn't even touch him."


"Everyone has this romanticization of De Niro," he added. "But he's not the intuitive, vocal presence on set at all. He's one of the most right-brained and clinical actors I've ever met. He's like a librarian."


Speaking of scores, Norton also revealed how Radiohead chipped in to create the foundation for the pic's atmospheric music, composed by John O'Brien.


"I'm friends with the guys in Radiohead, And Johnny Greenwood, who did the incredible score for Paul Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood,' met me in London a while back when John (Curran) and I were developing the script," Norton recalls.


"So given the spiritual ties in this film, I started talking to him about this idea: 'What would you use to record this divine-like tuning sound?' And he and Thom (Yorke) had been playing a lot of weird ambient stuff at the time and so, amazingly, they just unloaded tons and tons of files to us of these sound experiments that they had been doing. We just listened to them in awe until John (Curran) eventually got John O'Brien to come in and see what he could make of it."


As the evening wore on, Norton was careful not to forget his character's finely braided corn-rows.


"The moment the hairstylist took them out, I swear to God I looked like Gene Wilder in 'Young Frankenstein.'"


"You could say I'm thankful we didn't get that on film."


"Stone," also starring Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy, hits theaters Oct. 8.

Thom Yorke y Jonny Greenwood de Radiohead colaboraron en el soundtrack de “Stone”, una nueva película estelarizada por Edward Norton, Robert De Niro y Milla Jovovich.

Norton –quién colaboró en el guión del filme- comentó en una entrevista para la revista Variety: “La película es muy espiritual así que cuando John Curran (director de la película) y yo estábamos trabajando en el guión, le pregunté ‘¿Qué harías para sonorizar la película y
poder lograr un sonido espiritual y de divinidad?’ Justamente, Thom Yorke y
compañía estaban tocando muchas melodías ambientales y nos enviaron muchos de
estos materiales sonoros experimentales y quedamos impresionados con ellos.
Eventualmente, le enviamos esos materiales a John O’ Brien para que ver qué
podía hacer con ellos.”

Todavía no hay más información sobre si el soundtrack incluirá temas de Radiohead o si sólo contará con ideas sonoras de ellos como parte del score. “Stone” llegará a las
salas de cine de Estados Unidos el 8 de octubre de 2010.

Radiohead to Return to south park next summer ?

English





Odd things going on in Oxford. In Radiohead’s hometown a series of posters appeared with the text ‘RADIOHEAD RETURN TO SOUTH PARK. SUMMER 2011′.

We’re not referring to a comeback on the South Park animated TV series, which featured Radiohead for an entire episode, but a return to South Park in Oxford. The band played their homecoming gig there on July 7th, 2001. So, who knows, Radiohead might go for the 10 year anniversary of that show. Or maybe, it’s all a hoax. The signs were put up around South Park in the past 24 hours. Either way, thanks to Thomas from Oxford for sending in the picture below. No, not that Thomas, Thomas Williams.

English



thanks a lot dear Nat !! your pic is amazing !!



For thirty years, the Oxford Music Scene has been producing bands of amazing quality and integrity. Some went on to shape genres and change music on a global scale, others never got heard of outside the town. I've lived in Oxford for most of my life and been a part of that scene for a long time - filming gigs, making music videos and realised it was time to get
everyone together to tell the story. It's epic, uplifting, sad, honest and
handmade.

RADIOHEAD NEW ALBUM COMING SOON !!



Sep, 20/2010 thnks a lot my queen !!

Radiohead going back to the studio to 'take stock' of new recorded material



Radiohead is heading back to the studio in a week's time to "take stock" of new material and assess when — and how — it should be released to the world.


Drummer Philip Selway told The Canadian Press the band will regroup next Monday to determine how close the followup to "In Rainbows" is to being ready.



"We've been working on material on and off for a year now and we've had the summer off so yes, we're basically taking stock on Monday and seeing what we need to do with the material to move it to those final stages," Selway said in a telephone interview from Amsterdam on Monday.

"We're just returning to it with fresh ears and taking stock of where we are and how close we are to finishing stuff, really, and we won't know till Monday."


The band is working on the eagerly anticipated followup to its seventh album, "In Rainbows," which sent shock waves through the music world in 2007 when it was first released digitally online, throughthe band's own website, and at an indeterminate "it's up to you" price. The band also streamed a free concert to fans months later on New Year's Eve, and Selway hinted the band might have some more digital or online plans up its sleeves — although he wouldn't say what exactly.


"Whatever we do with any record, it always has to come from the music we've made, whatever we release, and because we're not at that stage at the moment — we haven't finished anything — we don't know how or what's the most appropriate way for getting it out there," he said.

"Then again, you look at the track record of what we've done over the past decade in that area and I suppose, you know, it's probably a safe bet to say there'll be
something in there somewhere along the line."

While "In Rainbows" was largely shaped by extensive touring and live experimentation with the songs, Selway said that won't be the case with the new

project.


"Uh, no," he said laughing.

"I don't know what we'll be doing but the process of making 'In Rainbows' — so much came about through what we were doing live — has been quite the opposite so far. But you never know, we might get back together on Monday and after discussing stuff we might just throw this all out and say maybe we need to go back to the drawing board. Who knows, as I say, it's all up in the air at the
moment.


"But we've been enjoying what we've been doing."


Colin Greenwood Interview !!!!

English / thanks a lot Inez !!


http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2010/09/radiohead-copyright-freespeech-music/


13 Sep 2010


Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood explains why the band released their last album direct to their fans
It’s been nearly three years since we announced our
“pay what you think it’s worth” scheme for the launch of our last record In Rainbows. I remember the excitement of it all, not least because the release date was my wife’s birthday, 10 October. The idea came from a friend of our manager, who proposed an “honesty box”, placing the onus on people to ask themselves how much they valued our music. Last summer, as we finished some more recordings, we started to think and talk about how to release them. So it seemed a good
moment to take stock of the technological and cultural changes that have
happened in the meantime.


In August 2007, we had finished our first record after the end of our deal with EMI. Previously, we would have given it to our record company at least three months up front, and then gone through the protracted round of meetings to decide on videos and singles — experiences we’d had for
the previous six records. This time there was no EMI, and no one to decide
anything but ourselves. We owned it outright, and could do whatever we wanted
with it. This coincided with the growth of the internet as a medium to discover
and share music, something we had used to reach fans while we made In Rainbows.
This desire to use the technology was driven by distrust and frustration with
trying to broadcast our music via traditional media, such as radio and
television. Music on television is scarce, and hard to do well. Radio has such
regulated playlists that disc jockeys are lucky to have one free play per show.
Why go exclusively through such straitened formats when you could broadcast
directly to people who are interested in you, in that moment?


The other attraction for us was the conjuring up of an event, a way of marking our releases and performances as special, unique times. The internet makes it easier for everything to be live, and that’s what we do.


While we were in our studio, making the last few records, we would schedule
last-minute “web casts”, and, at short notice, make small, spontaneous and
impromptu programmes where we would play our favourite records, talk to fans,
play new and old songs live, and even cover versions of songs from bands that
had inspired us. It was stitched together on old Sony cams and video editors
from eBay. It did feel like a Ruritanian broadcast, but it was thrilling to be
sharing a live moment with our fans that wasn’t mediated by anyone except the
internet service provider, and a live show that could be created ten minutes
from home. I’d like to think the equivalent of this in broadcasting history
would be the mom and pop radio stations that set up in America between the
wars, when the excitement of a new medium was explored through the immediate
community. In the same way, we saw the internet as a chance to treat the global
constituency of Radiohead fans as our community. Also, it helped break up the
studio tension, and made us feel less cloistered and isolated while we finished
recording.


Against all this positive experience of using net technology, we’d had a bad experience on the previous record, when someone had taken some of the songs from a computer and put them online, well ahead of the official release. Everyone became very careful about carrying songs around, in
the car, on CDs, music players and computers. It made you realise how easy it is to store and transmit music once it’s digitised, and that the fundamental thing about music is its destiny to be broadcast or shared. Part of the process of making a record involves listening to new songs or ideas in lots of different places: the car, the kitchen, with friends late at night. Having
feelings of mild anxiety about music escaping onto the web wasn’t conducive to
that, and there were a few panics. Fortunately, we managed to keep everything
unreleased until the online download of In Rainbows.


The success of keeping the music off the net until release proved very powerful. A pre-digital album launch would involve some shows perhaps, record shop queues if you were lucky, and plans by the record company to mark the release as an event. In the digital world, with the ease of
music escaping online, that sense of an event is diminished.


With In Rainbows, we were able to be the first people to digitally release our record, directly to people’s personal computers, at 7.30am GMT on 10 October 2007. I was having breakfast, and watched as the file appeared in my email, and the album streamed onto my desktop. I spent the next
day and night monitoring people’s reactions online, both to the music and the
means of delivery. Journalists in America had stayed up overnight to write the
first review as they received the music – again, in the pre-digital age they
would have had advance copies up to three weeks before. On the torrent site
bulletin boards, people were arguing over whether they should be downloading
and paying for the record from our site, rather than the free torrents. Various
online pundits and pamphleteers were pronouncing the end of the record
business, or of Radiohead, or of both.


For all the giddy prognostications, the most important reason for the success of In Rainbows was the quality of the music. I think this was overlooked, but without the great songs that we were proud of, the online release would have counted for nothing. I am optimistic that if you make
good work you can secure the patronage of your fans.


Three years later, we have just finished another group of songs, and have begun to wonder about how to release them in a digital landscape that has changed again. It seems to have become harder to own music in the traditional way, on a physical object like a CD, and instead music
appears the poor cousin of software, streamed or locked into a portable device
like a phone or iPod. I buy hardly any CDs now and get my music from many
different sources: Spotify, iTunes, blog playlists, podcasts, online streaming
– reviewing this makes me realise that my appetite for music now is just as
strong as when I was 13, and how dependent I am upon digital delivery. At the
same time, I find a lot of the technology very frustrating and
counter-intuitive. I spend a lot of time using music production software, but
iTunes feels clunky. I wish it was as simple and elegant as Apple’s hardware. I
understand that we have become our own broadcasters and distributors, but I
miss the editorialisation of music, the curatorial influences of people like
John Peel or a good record label. I liked being on a record label that had us
on it, along with Blur, the Beastie Boys and the Beatles.



I’m unconvinced that the internet has replaced the club or the concert hall as a forum for people to share ideas and passions about music. Social networking models such as Twitter and foursquare are early efforts at this but have some way to go to emulate the ecosystem that labels
such as Island drew upon, the interconnected club and studio worlds of managers,
musicians, artists and record company mavericks, let alone pay for such a
fertile environment. Shoreditch, in east London, has a vibrant scene right now,
with independent labels such as Wichita, Bella Union and distribution companies like The Co-op, alongside the busy Strongroom studio. I spoke to a friend, Dan Grech-Marguerat, about the scene. He is a busy mixer and producer, and told me that he could just sit at home and work on the
computer but would miss the social buzz and benefits of working at the
Strongroom and other studios.


There are signs that the net is moving out of its adolescence, and preparing to leave its bedroom. I have noticed on the fan message sites that a lot of the content and conversations have grown up, moved away from staccato chat and trolling, to discussions about artists, taste and
trends, closer to writing found in music magazines.


There is less interest in the technological side of the net, and more focus on what services the web can deliver, like any other media. People are using touch and gesture-controlled devices such as the iPad to see through those objects to get to the content they want. This transparency
and immediacy is exciting for us as artists, because it brings us closer to our
audience.


We have yet to decide how to release our next record, but I hope these partial impressions will help give some idea of the conversations we’ve been having. Traditional marketplaces and media are feeling stale – supermarkets account for around 70 per cent of CDs sold in the UK, the
charts are dominated by TV talent-show acts – and we are trying to find ways to
put out our music that feel as good as the music itself. The ability to have a
say in its release, through the new technologies, is the most empowering thing
of all.

"We have a painting or we have some artwork on the computer and then Thom comes along and basically f***s it up, makes a real mess and I’m like “Okay I’m going to f**k it up even more”… and then he’s like “You f***ed up what I’ve done.”
Basically it goes like that, and we just keep f***ing

Stanley Donwood publica su Taglibro 21, en el cual presenta tres de los varios trabajos nuevos que ha realizado, y que recuerdan mucho al artwork de Hail to the Thief. Como
también había anunciado en su anterior Taglibro,
dichos trabajos serán presentados en su primera exhibición de casi dos meses en
EU, que se titula OVER NORMAL, mostrada en una famosa
galería de San Francisco, y en la que ha incluido un acompañamiento musical,
preparado con John Matthias, para visualizar sus obras, titulado
OVERNORMALIZER. La ceremonia de apertura iniciará a las 21:30 horas, y
la galería ofrecerá un panfleto a modo de periódico, preparado en conjunto con
Donwood y Matthias, que se puede descargar en PDF



Mis disculpas por publicar otro Taglibro tan rápido después del anterior…
En el momento en el que lean esto yo estaré en San Francisco, preparando en la Fifty24SF Gallery una exhibición titulada OVER
NORMAL,
la cual durará del 2 de septiembre al 27 de octubre.
Es el primer evento que realizo en Estados Unidos, y consta de siete nuevas pinturas, nuevas serigrafías, nuevas impresiones en giclée y una instalación de sonido, llamada OVERNORMALIZER, que ha llevado a cabo con JohnMatthias.
El elemento que unifica el show es el constante uso de los colores que empecé a usar en 2003, cuando hacía las pinturas que se convertiría en elarte del álbum Hail to the Thief, de Radiohead. Este ha llegado a sermi paleta californiana.
Las pinturas mostradas en este show son enormes paneles de madera de abedul, tres de los cuales muestro muestro arriba. Los he
titulado como: PROBLEM INTENSITY, BECOME UNITEDBUSINESS
PENIS.

El torrente de palabras, que me parecen aplastantes, lo he dibujado de mi colección de spam por correo electrónico, que tiene que ver con
aspectos incesantes como el dinero, el sexo y el aprovecharse de los
demás.
Son todas estas palabras lo que conforman la base del OVERNORMALIZER, una máquina a la que se le alimentó con spam en forma de texto, hasta que loempezó a vomitar como sonido en los oídos del oyente.
Esperamos fervientemente el Sr. Matthias y yo que los resultados induzcan a una levehipnosis o incluso a un estado de alucinación
hipnogógica mientras se escucha, al tiempo que se aprecia y descifra eltrabajo visual en el show.
Para acompañar dicha instalación, hice una serie de cuatro impresiones en giclée, que documentan los patrones neuronales
provocados por el OVERNORMALIZER.

entrevista a thom

Thom Yorke fue entrevistado para Rax, una revista escolar que incentiva la lectura de temas politicos entre los jovenes.

¿Qué clase de problemas crees que deberían ser los mas importantes a abordar por los jóvenes hoy en día?
Oh, en verdad no me siento calificado como para responder eso…

Me gustaría pensar que están extremadamente preocupados por el cambio climático.

Me gustaría pensar que están preocupados por la caída de una clase política que no les representa y que sólo vela por sus propios intereses.

Me gustaría pensar que están molestos por la influencia de las grandes corporaciones sobre las decisiones políticas y la constante mierda de Relaciones Públicas que pueden escupir.

Me gustaría pensar que están preocupados de heredar un sistema económico que se mantiene en pie como se hace con la torre de Pisa.

Me gustaría pensar que ven la incapacidad de esta generación para ejecutar los cambios necesarios como corresponde.

Me gustaría pensar que realmente no creen que facebook y twitter son mejores que sentarse en un bosque al anochecer a escuchar los sonidos.

¿Cómo te manejas para recolectar estadísticas e informarte sobre los problemas que más te preocupan y qué consejo le darías a los jóvenes para que elaboren su propia forma de pensamiento crítico y comenzar a indagar?
Las estadísticas se pueden usar y abusar. He estado en debates donde quienes niegan el cambio climático lanzan estadísticas que nadie oyó jamás y sobre las cuales no tienes tiempo para verificar, desviando la posibilidad de cualquier debate constructivo. ¡Qué útil! Las estadísticas son el arma favorita de las firmas de Relaciones Públicas y los diarios. El cambio climático es un tema particularmente movedizo porque hay tanta ciencia detrás y es un tema demasiado emotivo con gente desesperada para que les digan que no es verdad. Esto me recuerda a las alianzas rurales que sostenían que el 80% creía en la caza o lo que sea que decían esos stickers en sus autos. Sí. Claro. Y el 80% cree que las range rovers nunca vieron algo de lodo insignificante.

¿Qué consejos le darías a los representantes jóvenes sobre cómo usar el lenguaje para representar mejor sus campañas?
Trata de mantener tu sentido del humor.

Trata de mantener cierta creencia en el sentido común de los demás y trata de respetar sus puntos de vista por lo menos lo suficiente como para encontrar hoyos en ellos.

No te conviertas en una granjera de viento inglesa de clase media-alta que cree que Dios está de su lado mientras utiliza rabia indignación prejuicios e ignorancia.

Recuerda que el trabajo de los Miembros del Parlamento es escucharte. No tienen otra opción.

Oh, y consigue algo de arte simpático.

¿Qué consejos le darías a los jóvenes que quieren escribir letras que hagan una diferencia para el mundo?

Que no hay nada más seco y aburrido en el arte que la política. Tiene que fermentarse y destilarse. Tiene que ser personal. Tiene que ser la ligereza del tacto. Tiene mucho más que ver con cómo haces las cosas, tu estado mental y menos con las palabras en la página.

¿Qué consejo le darías a los jóvenes músicos que quieren hacer una diferencia con su talento?
Esta es para Ed en Radiohead… esta es su obsesión. Cuando hablamos de ello él dice que es sólo una cuestión de tiempo -más de meses que de años- antes que estas franquicias se quiebren por completo. Está involucrado en tratar de construir un mundo en el que los artistas finalmente reciban un pago. Pero estamos contra los intereses proteccionistas de esa industria. Hoy en día están haciendo un lobby para llevarse todo el dinero ellos solos mientras sostienen que protegen los intereses de sus artistas. ¿Ah sí? Cuando la industria coporativa muera no será una gran pérdida para el mundo. Así que creo que podría aconsejarles no amarrarse a un barco hundiéndose porque, créanme, se está hundiendo.

¿Qué clase de acciones informadas y responsables crees que podrían ser las más efectivas para ser creadas por alguien o involucrarse en ellas?

Bueno, la violencia siempre te llama. Siempre vas a tener monos en grandes protestas, quienes están molestos o simplemente buscando una pelea. Pero eso juega a favor de las manos de quienes están en tu contra. Y hoy en día las tácticas policiales no necesariamente ayudan. Eventos que tengan mordacidad. Que se burlan de la situación. Que exponen y ridiculizan… sin ira y con poco juicio. Y es más probable que consigas prensa favorable a partir de ello. Contacto cara a cara. Ese sentido de tener algo en común entre la gente cuando se reúnen.

¿Qué clase obstáculos crees que los jóvenes que buscan un cambio pueden encontrarse en el camino y cómo crees que puedan sobrellevarlos?

Que la gente cada vez encuentra las cosas más y más difíciles en la medida en que son absorbidos en sus propias vidas y terminan viendo cómo todo pudo ser diferente. Requiere energía. También requiere que a uno se le ocurran las cosas por ellos. Nada se puede hacer si es que antes no lo has visualizado. El trabajo de los otros es hacértelo difícil. Los lobbyistas postrados en Portcullis House y Westminster, por ejemplo.

También se nos ha criado -desde Thatcher, creo- a creer en que la voz comunal está políticamente muerta. Que somos animales atomizados… egoístas. El mayor obstáculo a cambiar es siempre la creencia condicionada de que estamos solos, con miedo, sin poder como en una pesadilla Kafkiana. Muy conveniente si estás a cargo de Tescos o BP, ¿verdad?

¿De qué manera la tecnología del Siglo 21 hace una diferencia para el mundo de un joven y cómo crees que se puede utilizar para llegar a un cambio?

Ofrece la oportunidad de compartir información y pasar por alto los medios tradicionales, pero creo que la nube de información y semi-relaciones con los otros por la red puede ser una ilusión, o mas bien una distracción peligrosa. No es bueno para la mente estar constantemente en otro lado… o creer que por publicar cosas en internet ya estás cambiando algo. Me pregunto cuánta de esta tecnología es una total pérdida de tiempo y energía. ¿Que sólo llenamos porque está ahí? Y cuyo retorno es que alimenta aún más nuestro sentido de aislamiento y la creencia en que no podemos cambiar nada. Es más probable que pararse junto a otros en una marcha por la ciudad sobre algo que realmente te importa haga un efecto profundo sobre cómo ves el mundo.

¿Cuál es tu principal consejo para los jóvenes de hoy que quieren hacer una diferencia en su mundo?

Hazlo ahora que eres joven, mientras está claro en tu mente, mientras la energía esté ahí lista para utilizarse… antes que te enmarañes en la red de responsabilidades y complicaciones de la vida que te agarra desprevenida. Por ejemplo… ¿es mucho más fácil arriesgarte a que te arresten si no tienes hijos? ¡Ja-ja!

Thanks.

Holding Silent

the story of her life
is such that it has no real beginning
a child thrown into adulthood
still treated like a child
abandoned and reclaimed
altered and unnoticed
The words were never spoken
no one ever asked
decades pass and they forget
she carries the nightmares, alone
it is time that it unfolds for all
time for the ugly to be shared
and room to be made for better things
now that it is time, there is no telling
there is no tale
beginning where, as a child
at the tragedy, after the pain?
it must be told,
it is her story
but the words won't come

Um dos maiores mistérios do rock agora é quando o Radiohead irá lançar seu oitavo álbum. No mês passado, o guitarrista Ed O'Brien disse que eles estavam "na linha de chegada", depois de trabalhar dentro e fora, pelo menos desde março de 2009. O'Brien sugeriu mesmo, não pela primeira vez, que o altamente antecipado follow-up para 2007 de In Rainbows poderia estar fora até ao final deste ano. Então, quando eu sentei com o baterista do Radiohead Philip Selway hoje para falar sobre sua estréia solo excelente Familial (para 31 de agosto), eu tive que perguntar a ele como o novo álbum está indo. "Não terminou ainda", respondeu imediatamente Selway. "Está ainda em curso. Nós gostamos quando estamos tão longe. "

Selway acrescentou que as últimas temporadas de estúdio do Radiohead foram "muito produtivas, as sessões de muita criatividade. Você não quer começar somando-los, até que tenha realmente terminado. Eu acho que é quando você começa a retrospectiva real sobre ele, eo verdadeiro sabor de verdade o que se passou. "Quanto a esse prazo de 2010 O'Brien que mencionou? "Oh, eu não sei. Continuamos a bater os pontos e quando você pensa, 'Nós estamos lá. "E depois [depois] você pensa:" Não, não é.' Estamos tendo uma pausa no momento.
Eu vou sair em [a promoção familial], e então voltamos a ele mais tarde, no verão, daí veremos onde estamos. "

Então, se você tiver. LP8 podem ou não estar em suas mãos por New Year's (hey, ele não nega), mas de qualquer forma, parece que as coisas estão indo bem. De qualquer forma, considerando o out-of-the blue- estratégia surpresa, empregada pela Radiohead para a versão In Rainbows, eu não iria contar com a demasiada antecedência, sempre que decidir o próximo é feito. Quando você acha que esse dia virá?
Você está ansioso para o próximo álbum de Radiohead , tanto quanto eu?

How do you not breathe? (<_<)

Sick as a dog at the moment, horrible case of allergic reaction to fuck knows what kind of pollen is flying around right now. As always, my body is not content with presenting a usual case of hay fever, oh no. Instead I feel like every breath is like inhaling fire, my throat flooded with acid, my lungs shriveling as if I got decompression sickness. And the worst: I can't stop swallowing. Yeahyeah, I know this sounds funny but it isn't. It is an irrepressible reflex that cannot be controlled of governed. Like hiccups. Can you suppress hiccups? There you go, it is just the same. It makes my throat even more sore and, worse, keeps me from sleeping. I swallow. All the time. Day or night.
The allergy came on rather fast and strong, usually I start taking heavy medication at the first sign but this time it took me by surprise. Now I am poisoning myself with a cocktail of antihistamines, cortisone and various cough suppressant, and still cannot sleep, although the Telfast is making me even more tired. I just have to wait until the meds in my blood stream built up to a certain level before they start kicking in.
On the plus side: the mixture of meds and allergic reactions raging through my body thoroughly managed to kill my appetite.

Speaking of sleep, I really would like to have this bed: (Preferably with a mosquito net for a curtain. Cave girl wants her cave.)

where is journalism going

Robert McChesney And John Nichols: Saving Journalism

07/15/2010 at 8:00 p.m. ShareThis

American journalism is collapsing, and that puts our entire democracy at risk. That's the message that Robert McChesney and John Nichols brought to Seattle earlier this year. The two media watchers point to the mass closure of foreign news bureaus, the folding of major US newspapers like the Seattle P–I, and the consolidation of commercial broadcast stations across the country. They quote the founding fathers, who believed a robust fourth estate was critical to a free nation.

But McChesney and Nichols aren't all doom and gloom. They offer some bold new solutions to the problem, including government subsidies for news organizations and a move away from the strictly for–profit business model.

Robert McChesney is a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. John Nichols is the Washington correspondent for The Nation. Together they co–founded the media reform network Free Press, and their latest book is "The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again."

McChesney and Nichols spoke at Town Hall Seattle on January 19, 2010.

Postales de una sesión que quedará en la historia



Los protagonistas del debate por el matrimonio gay; crónica de una madrugada cargada de tensión en el Senado.

Pasadas las 4 de la madrugada, se aprobó en el Senado la ley de matrimonio gay, sin modificaciones. Tras un debate de más de 14 horas, en los que las convicciones personales y morales estuvieron atravesadas por la cuestión política y la especulación, el proyecto fue votado con 33 votos a favor, 27 en contra y 3 abstenciones al dictamen de minoría (a favor de la media sanción de Diputados), tras rechazarse el de mayoría.
