Fluorescent tubes may be energy efficient but as most of us know, they are 100% evil. Axis of evil, evil. The effects of these buzzing boxes of death are well documented. Fresh food rots before your very eyes, human skin appears sickly gray or green, big ticket merchandise suddenly turns into dollar store discounts, every bone in ones body says "get out of this torture chamber now!"
Fluorescent lighting may be slowly killing you and your business. Two options exist: 1. Replace them. Go back to energy hogging incandescents, Light Emitting Diodes or color corrected compact fluorescents. 2. Reduce your existing tubes glamour harming rays with polycarbonate gel sleeves or tubes in color correcting warm tones. Your local stage supply store can help you choose a color to match what ever lighting brand you are suffering under currently.
Gay scientists isolate 'Christian' gene. CNN [Thanks Stewf]

Is it wrong of me to hate on this? Is sex THE only reason to go out in Utah? Why are women so demeaned, practically turned into pieces of Brazilian BBQ in most club advertising these days? I dare say I'm with Shawn Phillips on the need for an alternative to this... not for religious reasons but simply for the sake of common decency.
Michal Levy is one to watch. See the animated short film (2:15 minutes) he created to accompany John Coltrane's "Giant Steps". His other design and artwork is great too... very NewCityMovement don't you think?
Friends With You created a new line of toys called Wish Come True. Available now but already sold out. More at FWY, Fickr, StrangeCo.
Get 'a day in the life' view with this earth rotation time lapse tool at TheirCircularLife.it, then enjoy pretending you're Jackson Pollack. [Thanks Dee!]
DJ Leo's friend Alexeya was kind enough to take some photos and video at last weeks NiteLite party. You can see the pictures here and the video here.
This crazy German guy invented something called Direct Note Access, a technology that makes the impossible possible. For the first time in audio recording history you can identify and edit individual notes within polyphonic audio material. The unique access that Melodyne affords to pitch, timing, note lengths and other parameters of melodic notes will now also be afforded to individual notes within chords. [Thanks Joe]

My friend Sam from Randy's Records turned me onto this new Trojan Records remix project by DJ Spooky called Creation Rebel. Even those people without dread locks and who shower regularly will recognize several of these swimmingly deep classic dub/reggae tracks. The only one I don't like so much (oddly enough) is the house remix - track 3 - but seriously... this shit will exercise your bass bins and your brain to no end. Also check out what many refer to as THE essential Trojan dub/reggae collection put out by Spooky in 2006 called In Fine Style.
Get a pre-view of local artist Rockford Orvin's new works entitled "... let him cast the first stone." during this Friday's Gallery Stroll at Highlife Salon. In this new show Rockford explores the theme of judgment by portraying his emotional connection to judgment through his relationships with a variety of characters vs. himself. His emotionally honest, colorful and often times larger than life works come from a vibrant gay perspective rarely seen in Utah.

NiteLite
is one of the few places you'll hear deep underground house in Salt
Lake City. We do it for the love of dance and because we love the way
it sounds, it's as simple as that. Join us next Saturday the 15th to
experience the vital deep & melodic future rhythm of NiteLite with
special sound reinforcement and lighting at W. Lounge.
Uh... the Flight Of The Conchords just walked past the Coffee Garden on Main Street and I just sat there because, well I had to get my coffee I guess. Drats! They were here performing at some corporate conference called Omniture Summit which wasn't open to the public. Talk about WAY dumb. If anyone has info on sightings or impromptu performances of Albi The Racist Dragon, please post comments.
!Update! Mr. "Jermaine" is filming a movie in town called, Gentlemen Broncos. [Thanks John W.]
