The Replacements’ Paul Westerberg’s op-ed in New York Times on Alex Chilton. I’m sure fans of both men are curious to read this. The only picture I could find of the two (1987): HOW does one react to the death of one’s mentor? My mind instantly slammed down the inner trouble-door that guards against all thought, emotion, sadness. Survival mode. Rock guitar players are all dead men walking

Florence Welch is hitting the books for her sophomore album. In a recent interview with NME, Welch says that she’s busy working on the next Florence and the Machine album, with “science” informing the new song ‘Strangeness and Charm.’ “I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing — strangeness and charm,” Welch told NME. “It’s actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word ‘hydrogen’ in there. Isn’t that a nice thing for scientists to call them though

French Lawmakers Want To Put Warnings On Photoshopped Images
This is amazing. Simply amazing. A group of 50 politicians are sick and tired of all the photoshopped images and want to put a law in place which will FORCE magazines, billboards, and product packaging to say which shots have been “digitally enhanced”. Campaigning MP Valerie Boyer, of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s UMP party, said the wording should read:”Retouched photograph aimed at changing a person’s physical appearance”. “These photos can lead people to believe in a reality that does not actually exist, and have a detrimental effect on adolescents

But when adapted by provocateur playwright and filmmaker David Mamet as a pro-Israel exploration of anti-Semitism movie set in contemporary times – the project became less likely to be made by the Walt Disney Company. And so it has gone. Developed by the studio’s chief of production, Oren Aviv, the project was recently rejected by the studio as “too dark” and put in turnaround, according to people involved. The writer who took on ethnic politics in the play “Race,” and sexual politics in works like “Oleanna,” takes on modern anti-Semitism in “The Diary of Anne Frank.” But the screenplay is not a retelling of the famous Holocaust drama taken from the diaries of Frank, but about a contemporary Jewish girl who goes to Israel and learns about the traumas of suicide bombing. With the studio in a state of limbo after the ouster of chairman Dick Cook, it is unlikely that any projects will be getting the go-ahead at the moment, say executives doing business there
