Patrick Kelleher And His Cold Dead Hands - "Miracle Candle": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Patrick Kelleher & His Cold Dead Hands are a five piece band from Dublin, Ireland. Their critically acclaimed album 'You Look Cold' was released on Osaka Recordings in 2009. A remix album followed in 2010 called 'You Look Colder'. It featured remixes from the likes of Jape, Hunter-Gatherer and Legion Of Two. Their second album 'Golden Syrup' is released on July 15th 2011. Moving on from the previous more DIY / lo-fi sound we now find them embracing a more gothic, minimal synth sound. Reminiscent of lesser known early 80's electronics pioneers such as Robert Rental, Thomas Leer and John Foxx but also drawing comparisons to such contemporary artists as Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and John Maus. Paul Lester in the Guardian\'s band of the day in November 2010 referred to it as "Spookily brilliant, Like Daryl Hall in hell" ! The music on Golden Syrup varies from Italo-disco and hypnagogic pop to the ghost-disco of the opener "Miracle Candle', a dark dancefloor mover, to the more rhythmic synth-hook laden tracks such as 'Golden Syrup", 'too many harsh words' and "Gouge'. We also get moments of beautiful heartfelt pop such as 'Broken up Now', and almost medieval electronica in the form of 'Strawberry Dog'. Patrick Kelleher & His Cold Dead hands have played with Ariel Pink, Yeasayer, Future Islands, A Flock of Seagulls, Tickley Feather, Telepathe, Silk Flowers, Little Dragon, and Dan Deacon and some forthcoming uk and German dates.

Space Junk Reaching "Tipping Point"
For more news visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Follow us on Facebook ☛ me.lt Half a century of space exploration has left thousands of particles orbiting the Earth. Scientists say the so-called "space junk" poses a risk to future space missions and they're they're trying to find a way to clean it up. The amount of debris orbiting the Earth has reached "a tipping point" for collisions, a US study revealed. And this would create more of the debris that threatens astronauts and satellites. [Robert Massey, Royal Astronomical Society in London]: "There must be literally millions of tiny pieces up there. There have certainly been thousands of satellite launches. So, it depends on where you draw the line - down to the very smallest particles, there must be an enormous amount of material simply because we've been putting objects in space for 50 years and each time you launch something it can be a bit messy, you do generate a bit more." The amount of orbital debris tracked by the US Space Surveillance Network jumped significantly from December 2006 to July 2011, with nearly 20 percent of the objects stemming from the destruction of the Chinese FENGYUN 1-C satellite, according to the National Research Council. [Robert Massey, Royal Astronomical Society in London]: "It could be as destructive as a bullet. If you had something significantly bigger than that, of bolt size then it's more like a very large bullet or almost perhaps a shell in the level of ...

New York Comic Con Part 3 I Fanboy Episode #185
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 12:55:05 10/27/10
Here's the final installment of our coverage of the 2010 New York Comic Con from the Jacob Javitts Center. This year's coverage wraps up with an incredible bang, and some surprise guests, as a chat with one of our longtime guests spins out of control, yet again. Jason Aaron just gets better and better with every comic book he puts out. With his recent relaunch of Wolverine, and the unstoppable quality of his Vertigo series, Scalped, Aaron is on top of his game. Plus he got to meet his longtime collaborator RM Guera for the first time in New York. Will Scalped survive the experience? Ben Templesmith and Mike Kennedy talk about their work with Archaia on the Crimecraft comic book offshoot, Bleed Out. Plus Ben updates us on the status of Choker, which he promises will finish! Tony Daniel does it all for Batman. He writes and draws the main Batman title, and works with all the other writers in the Batverse. Conor talks with the Batman multitasker about his take on Dick vs. Bruce, and what's coming up. Chris Eliopoulos has done everything there is to do in comics. He writes, draws, and letters his own books, as well as produced 3 years worth of daily Misery Loves Sherman web strips, recently collected into a book. Additionally, Chris is a champion of all ages and kids comics, and the industry's need to hook new readers. He's walked the walk with his work on Franklin Richards and Pet Avengers. Jimmy Palmiotti talks about the incredibly diverse range of books with his name, like Jonah Hex, Time Bomb, and Freedom Fighters, as well as the recent changes at DC Comics. There's even some hugging. Robert Kirkman joins us yet again, and turns something into nothing. With AMC's Walking Dead TV series on the horizon, Robert's a little low on sleep, and that just add fuel to the wacky fire. Robert's joined by unexpected guests like director Frank Darabont, and cast members Laurie Holden and Steven Yuen, and some guy with glasses. It's the best way to close out your New York Comic Con experience.

Jay Trainer Band Live in Studio A - Part 1 - Lovely in Black
[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 23:59:21 09/29/10
Part 1 of The Jay Trainer Band live in Studio A
For the full performance, CLICK HERE
Jay Trainer combines thick, prolific guitar riffs and stark lyricism, while drawing on the traditions of funk, rock, blues, and psychedelia to craft a modern classic. The singer/songwriter possesses a unique ability to effortlessly negotiate tone and volume, moving from a quiet, almost jazzy tone to a booming thunder at any given moment. The effect calls to mind the masters of several genres of rock music.
To achieve this, Trainer pulls from his roots: blues revivalists, folksy protest songs, classic songwriters and classic rockers like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and The Allman Brothers Band. But the aspect that grabs both music lovers and critics is the additional elements ranging from the likes of Jeff Beck to Jeff Buckley. His unique combination of genre-defying compositions and free-form jams have been causing a stir in the local Bay Area scene.
Having shared the stage with national acts including North Mississippi All Stars, legendary guitarist Dickey Betts, Robert Walter's 20th Congress (founding member of The Greyboy Allstars), Eric McFadden (former touring member of George Clinton's P-Funk All Stars), Cowboy Mouth and Vinyl, Jay Trainer has created a new foothold in the West Coast music scene with a rare combination of infectious backbeats and guitar driven grooves.
The live show is what Trainer is known for. His performances are raw, personal and uninhibited. It is clear from his latest EP, simply titled Jay Trainer Band, that he has brought this same energy to the studio. Tracks like "Miss You Well" and "As The World Burns Down" capture the emotion and expression of his live performance. Tracks like "Maybe I'm Wrong" and "Run" show Trainer's ability to use the studio like an additional member of the band. A veteran of countless recording sessions, his "get it in the first take" approach has paid off and is bringing back a great sense of honesty to Rock 'n' Roll.
Additional Info: Jay Trainer is also the founder and an active member of Artfulchange, a social action network that uses the power of art and music to help raise awareness for environmental causes. Artfulchange is run by Trainer and several local Bay Area artists from San Francisco who are working closely with several local organizations on issues such as sustainable living, global warming and wildlife conservation.

Florian Maier-Aichen: Rejecting Tradition
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 12:12:40 07/09/10
Episode #113: Florian Maier-Aichen talks about rejecting the dogmatic approach and lighting sensibility of the Dusseldorf School of photography, traveling to Los Angeles to make a fresh start. Alternately romantic, cerebral, and unearthly, Florian Maier-Aichen’s digitally altered photographs are closer to the realm of drawing and fiction than documentation. He embraces difficult techniques, chooses equipment that produces accidents such as light leaks and double exposures, and uses computer enhancements to introduce imperfections and illogical elements into images that paradoxically "feel" visually right, though they are factually wrong. Often employing an elevated viewpoint (the objective but haunting "God’s-eye view" of aerial photography and satellite imaging), Maier-Aichen creates idealized, painterly landscapes that function like old postcards. Interested in places where landscape and cityscape meet, he chooses locations and subjects from the American West and Europe—from his own neighborhoods to vistas of the natural world. Looking backwards for his influences, Maier-Aichen often reenacts or pays homage to the work of the pioneer photographers of the nineteenth century, sometimes even remaking their subject matter from their original standpoints. Always experimenting, he marries digital technologies with traditional processes and films (black-and-white, color, infrared, and tricolor), restoring and reinvigorating the artistry and alchemy of early photography.Learn more about Florian Maier-Aichen at: http://www.art21.org/artists/florian-maier-aichen VIDEO | Producer: Wesley Miller & Nick Ravich.

Over the course of nearly half a century, Robert and Jane Meyerhoff acquired works by some of the most influential American artists in the postwar era, building a collection that bridges the divide between abstract and figurative painting. More than 40 artists are represented, with special focus on Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Brice Marden, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella. Harry Cooper, the National Gallery's curator of modern and contemporary art, gives a tour of the exhibition, which includes 126 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture. By discussing the works according to themes such as Line, Drip, Gesture, and Concentricity, he presents the collection in new and often unexpected ways. The Meyerhoffs have donated 47 works to the National Gallery of Art since 1987, and their entire collection will eventually be given to the museum.

The Meyerhoffs have donated 47 works to the National Gallery of Art since 1987, and their entire collection will eventually be given to the museum.
