Rave like it's 1692

This weekend just passed I have had the priviledge of spending four days at the Queille Festival near Mirepoix. Amongst some of the super special music heard was some Shostakovich and Mendelssohn slammed down by the Badke Quartet; Jonny Byers is the Quartet's Cellist. It was a pleasure to hear them play in Queille's serene chapel. It was also wonderful to photograph him with his Cello, The 1692 Segelman Stradivarius of which he is the current custodian. This sexy hunk (of wood) has been laying down serious grooves and seducing souls for 319 years. This is therefore by default an unconditional top top vibe.

Good to see them keeping the thugs off the streets.

I have never seen such a sorry looking penguin in all my days. All she wanted to do was raise some money for dying kids.

really rather remarkable

Flying into Palm Beach on a standard NY - FLA internal flight, Stefanie Gordon took this photo of space shuttle Endeavour as it left Earth's atmos for the last time. Click on image for larger version.

Hammer Time from Ian

Last time I raved about Ian Cann ( @ianfcann ) it was because of the way he was recreating pizza in Brasil . This time he comes correct from Brasil with a tough top mix....
