The term “heliography” was first coined by its inventor, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, to identify the process by which he obtained the first permanent photographic images. With its classical derivation from the Greek “helios” meaning sun, and “graphein” denoting writing or drawing. The term encompassed both the source and the process in describing this first successfully permanent means of letting light record itself. In other words: drawing with light.
Niépce was the first individual to secure permanent images by photochemical means.
Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce coated a copper plate with silver, then treated it with iodine|iodine vapor to make it sensitive to light. The image was developed by mercury vapor and fixed with a strong solution made of ordinary salt. Read more Drawing with light
Terrorvision – Super Delux (2011)
Terrorvision Rocks. In the good old-fashioned way: cutting edge guitars, pumping bass, solid drums, voice with character and it’s all about feeling good. I loved “Oblivion” from their second album “How to Make Friends and Influence People” released back in 1994, and Terrorvision managed to hit Top 40 in UK subsequently with all they singles released till 1999. But after their forth album “Shaving Peaches” EMI drop them and after one more album released by Papillon Records in 2001 “Good to Go” the band splitting up and vanished.
Meantime EMI tried to ripping off all the skins from the band and cashing in by releasing two best of albums and in 2005 with the release of” B Sides And Rarities“. The group reformed to play two tours in 2005 played four more dates in November and December 2007. Occasionally they played few gigs through 2008 and 2009 as well fulminating with the headlining on the Bohemia Stage at the 2010 Sonisphere festival at Knebworth House.

Vorbeam zilele trecute despre “Care este motivul principal pentru care guvernul Boc trebuie să plece?” şi am închis postarea într-un ton oarecum de resemnare: “Am 41 de ani şi am sentimentul tot mai profund că am devenit inutil mie însumi, copilului meu, societăţii. Şi nu sunt singurul. Dar suntem toţi singuri.” Dincolo de argumentaţia expusă vis a vis de incompetenţă, corupţie şi în ultimă instanţă trădare şi o nesăbuită lăcomie, poate cel mai grav lucru este resemnarea. O resemnare care vine din disperare. Ieri vedeam la ştiri cum oamenii la Iaşi s-au călcat în picioare să cumpere zahăr la jumătate de preţ, apoi să adune de pe jos şi să-şi îndese în traiste zahărul vărsat din pungile rupte. Privim spre Japonia cu teamă şi poate şi cu o oarecare simpatie, dar noi suntem la fel sau chiar mai rău loviţi, ci nu de un dezastru natural, ci de conducerea pe care – iertată să-mi fie francheţea – noi ne-am ales-o prin vot.

Julian Cope – The JEHOVACOAT Demos (2011)
Cope is one of the few – if not quit the only – British guy who took the path of Krautrock and 
mainly he’s “to blame” for popularizing this gender in UK not only by playing it, but also by his book “Krautrocksampler” (1995). I discovered Cope through his most popular album, “Peggy Suicide” (1991) with a major delay. But Cope is also famous for his prominent role in the Margaret Thatcher Poll Tax Riots, and not at least for his permanent struggle with the Record companies and the music industry, with those he referred to as “greedheads”.
“The JEHOVACOAT Demos”consist of 15 previously unreleased tracks and 5 previously unpublished poems from the Archdrude, all written and recorded throughout 1993 in direct response to having been dropped by Island Records. In the mid-1990s, Cope signed with Rick Rubin’s Def American label, releasing “Autogeddon” (1994) and “20 Mothers” (1995), but he was dropped by the label when he refused to visit the USA. So Cope released the next album, “Interpreter” through Echo Records (1996). Read more Julian Cope – The JEHOVACOAT Demos (2011)
A Serbian Film (2010)
Creepy. I just saw it last night and just like Scott Weinberg said: “And I will never watch it again. Ever.” I quote him again: “”I think the film is tragic, sickening, disturbing, twisted, absurd, infuriated, and actually quite intelligent. There are those who will be unable (or unwilling) to decipher even the most basic of ‘messages’ buried within A Serbian Film, but I believe it’s one of the most legitimately fascinating films I’ve ever seen. I admire and detest it at the same time.” Well, I do not admire it and do not detest it, but it turns my stomach upside down. And really, I’m not some cry boy. But this is not scary, this is brutal. Forget about “Saw”, “Hostel” and even some of disturbing Asian films.
The state prosecution of Serbia opened an investigation to find out if the film violates the law. It is being investigated for elements of crime against sexual morals and crime related to the protection of minors. It was banned by a San Sebastián (Spain) court for “threatening sexual freedom” and thus could not be shown in the XXI Semana de Cine Fantástico y de Terror (21st Horror and Fantasy Film Festival). I’m one of the few – probably – who think that pornography may and should be a form of art, I can go on with some of the “snuff movies” as well while I know it’s a movie and not the real thing, but when it comes down to child rape and necrophiliac themes it’s far over the edge. And I think this is the bottom line: we must keep in our mind – this is nothing but “just” a movie. Read more A Serbian Film (2010)
The Chemical Brothers – Hanna, soundtrack (2011)
“Hanna” is the latest movie directed by Joe Wright best known previously for 2005’s “Pride and Prejudice” and 2007’s “Atonement”. It’s an adventure thriller, filmed in Europe and Morocco. Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is a teenage girl raised by her father (Eric Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, geared to making her the perfect assassin. Cate Blanchett played the role of Marissa Wiegler. Actually I didn’t see the movie, I just read a few words about it. 🙂 But I had the pleasure to listen to its soundtrack written by Thomas Owen Mostyn Rowlands and Edmund John Simons aka Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, sometimes referred to as Chemical Tom and Chemical Ed, better known as The Chemical Brothers. So, this is not really a new album in the line following the intense “Further” released last year, but still, it’s a nice piece of work. We’ve got 20 tracks, some of them being strange sound textures, other real nice constructions of mysterious noises, ravishing synthesizers and twisted rhythms.

The Haunted – Unseen (2011)
This guys from Gothenburg, Sweden managed to came out with the perfect blend of the traditional Melodic Death/Thrash with the modern, straight approach and sound of the later trends. And I’m gonna tell you right from the beginning: “Unseen” it’s another outstanding collection of heavy, consistent songs, all the 12 new tracks are killer ones, crushing constructions of modern metal, the three years passed from their previous material, “Versus”, worth the extended waiting.
Formed in 1996 on the solid foundation of the pioneering band of the Swedish metal scene At the Gates, The Haunted signed to Earache Records and released their debut, self-titled album in 1998. The original members were Anders & Jonas Björler, Peter Dolving, Adrian Erlandsson and Patrik Jensen. Read more The Haunted – Unseen (2011)
Care este motivul principal pentru care guvernul Boc trebuie să plece?
Realitatea TV a pus în joc un premiu în valoare de 100.000 de euro ieri când Guvernul Boc a înfruntat o nouă moţiune de cenzură în Parlament. Trebuia găsit “răspunsul corect” la întrebarea: “Care este motivul principal pentru care guvernul Boc trebuie să plece?”. O strategie de marketing care probabil a încercat să combată audienţele mult mai ridicate ale concurenţilor de la Antena 3. Peste 50.000 de telespectatori au trimis răspunsurile lor. Ce mă intrigă pe mine mai mult şi mai mult este prăpastia dintre ce spun sondajele de opinie şi ce am văzut ieri pe stăzile Bucureştilor. Un guvern cu încrederea sub 10% în sondaje n-a reuşit să urnească nici 1% din populaţia României. Sau mint sondajele şi “trusturile de presă ale mogulilor” şi românul este mulţumit şi fericit, sau suntem complet indolenţi şi/sau nevertebrate. Scuze, de fiecare dată ne găsim, dar “revoluţii” nu se fac nici la televizor, nici pe Twitter sau Facebook. Read more Care este motivul principal pentru care guvernul Boc trebuie să plece?
Wings – London Town (1978)
My mom played this vinyl many times and it gets under my skin. Tunes, fragments of it still vibrates in my ears even after 30 and so years. “By dawn’s first light i’ll come back to your room again/With my carnation hidden by the packages/I’m carrying, something/I’m carrying something for you…” Just like that. “People pass me by on my imaginary street/Ordinary people it’s impossible to meet/Holding conversations that are always incomplete/Well, I don’t know/Oh where are there places to go/Someone somewhere has to know/I don’t know…” Songs to humming along a lifetime. Just like “Girlfriend” or “With A Little Luck”. And I’m pretty sure, a guy named Michael Jackson learned this songs – and lesson – as well. But I love McCarney and I love this whole album from “”Cafe on the Left Bank” to “Famous Groupies” or from the “Backwards Traveller” to “Deliver Your Children” and I just can name all the 14 tracks of the original release. Worth to mention the over 6 minutes of “”Morse Moose and the Grey Goose” with Funky and Psychedelic infusions. On the re-issued and remastered release from 1993 there’s two bonus tracks: “Girls’ School” and “Mull of Kintyre”, this second one becoming the UK’s biggest-selling not charting single, even outstripping The Beatles’ largest seller “She Loves You”.
