Wikipedia says, “Stereophonics are a Welsh rock band, consisting of Kelly Jones, Richard Jones, venezuelan/argentinian Javier Weyler and Adam Zindani. Since their debut album, Word Gets Around, which peaked at #6 in the album chart, they have had 5 consecutive albums reach #1 in the UK album charts. Described as “classic UK rock with whiskey vocals”[1][2], the band has enjoyed considerable success in the UK, with 25 singles reaching the top 40 of the UK Singles chart. In 2005, their song Dakota became the band’s biggest hit, reaching #1 on both the UK Singles chart and the UK Downloads chart, and becoming the band’s first single to chart in the US, reaching #34 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.” Link

The Art of Sarah Illenberger

September 24th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Crafts, Media Modification

Woolen Heart - Copyright Sara Hillenberger

Defining one category for all the work of Sarah Illenberger is no easy task. The forms the visual translations of her themes assume are far too diverse. What initially sounds quite abstract, in reality, is mostly practical in that her creations are not generated on a computer but rather by meticulous handwork, sometimes incorporating the most mundane materials.

The Creative World of Greg Elmensdorp

112 Portrait III

Greg says, “This website is the equivalent of me rolling a ball of twine as large as a house, or me building a one-quarter scale replica of the city of New York out of Popsicle sticks. It is a curiosity. A brief side trip where you pull over and get something to drink, watch the chicken play tic-tac-toe, and then continue on your way to the Grand Canyon. I would recommend that you do not spend too much time here. Instead go read a book. If you don’t have a book at hand, try this one: The Book of Wonder, a chronicle of little adventures at the edge of the world – by Lord Dunsany or this one: Overclocked – by Cory Doctorow. Both of these contain the power and beauty of great oceans, whereas my entire website contains the power and beauty of water sloshing about in a chipped cereal bowl.” Link
