In 1993, convicted murderer Joseph Paul Jernigan was executed and his body was donated to science. The cadaver was thinly cut, and 1,871 slices of Joseph were digitized and animated for the Visible Human Project. Croix Gagnon and Frank Schot recently reconstructed him as a 3D phantom in long-exposure photographs. The photos were created with a laptop playing the animation on fullscreen, moved slowly in darkly-lit scenes.  Beautiful and haunting, the project is entitled 12:31 [http://www.project1231.com].

Mark 12:31, "The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."

The Fruhstucks - Sorry, We Are The Fruhstucks

Last June we met a young man named Sutja Gutiérrez from Castellón de la Plana who introduced us to his newest vision, The Fruhstucks. At that time it was a one-man band but since he has initiated Miguel Cámara (Miguel Boxerinlove) on guitar. As the project morphed so did the sound. What finally emerged was a lo-fi, dream pop band that will make your ears fall in love, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.



As we came to know The Fruhstucks better we realized they were destined for vinyl. So without further adieu, we are pleased to present, finally, The Fruhstucks first record to you on March 15th, 2011. Sorry, We Are The Fruhstucks is a limited edition 7 inch pressed in Purple Tie-Dye available to 248 lucky lovers.  The record is for sale on our website and Bandcamp. Get those orders in quick because the prerelease sold quite a few of them. To boot, The Fruhstucks have decided to release the digital only bonus track, "My Punk Is Alive (Inside)" for free.

To all retailers, the vinyl is available from Complete Distribution

White Ring

I've recently become very interested in White Ring.  Fantastic sound and a cut above the rest of the genre in my own eye.  Enjoi.  Perhaps I'll actually update this bloody thing more often now that I am settled in on the West Coast.

Sphere

A good friend and excellent musician, Jeremy Jacobs aka JPLS recently helped create a new iPhone/iPad application entitled Sphere.  It's like Simon Says on Acid.  Enjoi.
