Soundscape Artists "Smoke & Mirrors" Release Their Second CD "Deities," A Collection of Film Score Music Based on the Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
Boulder, CO
January 12, 2005 -- After achieving newfound success with "The Perfume of Creosote: Desert Exotica Part One," their first CD as Smoke & Mirrors, Michael Ely and Spider Taylor, founders of the openly gay L.A. alternative band Red Wedding, are back with their sophomore release entitled "Deities.""Deities" is a two-disc, twenty-two track musical feast inspired by the ancient and colorful deities of the world's oldest religion--Hinduism-- and consists of surreal, lush compositions brimming with powerful beats that set it apart from the usual ambient fare.Imagine a landscape where alternative rock collides with ambient melodies and tribal rhythms, resulting in a collection of exotic, sensual, psychedelic and atmospheric soundscapes. Listeners are taken on a hypnotic and spiritual journey from creation to destruction, only to begin again in the never-ending circle of reincarnation. Punctuated by Ely's mystical strings and Taylor's passionate guitars, "Deities" is numinous and earthy, partnered with catchy percussions that keep one's head in the clouds and feet on the ground--most likely tapping to the beat."Deities" is dreamy, ethereal, sometimes explosive and always dramatic, and filled with the romance and spirituality of the Far East as interpreted by two Westerners steeped in modern rock and film score sensibilities. Godsend Online hails "Deities" as "spectacular, living, and vibrant sounds that uplift the spirits and open up whole new (and old) worlds", while Sonic Curiosity called it "a grand skyscape punctuated with glittering effects that conspire with engaging riffs to immerse the listener in an uptempo transcendental experience."Once again, the multi-dimensional and addictive music of Smoke & Mirrors beckons the listener to enter a complex and layered world laced with beauty and mystery where nothing is quite what it seems, like a lotus blossom floating between the earth and the sky.For more information, please contactDave Wade-Stein @ Aural Fixation Records1592 Kilkenny St.Boulder, CO 80303-1646e-mail protected from spam botshttp://www.auralfixationrecords.comfax: 810 222 1904 vox 720 936 7783.
The Image Of Women
Mass media and the killing campaign.Well it is certainly not old news that sex is what sells. I'm sick of advertisers using women to sell their products. Women are included in the traditional role of sex object in magazines, commercials, videos, TV, advertisements, etc. Media has made women obsessed with the way that we look. Women seen in advertisements and media are often seriously underweight.
The average fashion model weighs 25 percent less than the average woman?You would have to wonder just what a well known fast food company was selling, when they put images on them of a woman holding a salad. Well thank you Mickey D's for acknowledging that women have breasts. There is nothing that makes me want to run out and purchase a salad more than your recent advertising. Why is it that in music videos men are dressed and women appear half naked? What kind of message is marketing sending to the young boys and girls who watch these videos? What is it with all of Hollywood's attention...

Beware: Easter Can Be Fatal to Your Animal Companion
Things change when holidays come around, and Easter is no exception. New people come to your house with strange things, routines change, you get more tired, and pay less attention, and your animal companion may be exposed to a wider age range of people companions.All these things can confuse your animal companion causing them to do things they ordinarily wouldn't do, and also bring harm to themselves. Since it has been my fate to learn from experience, sometimes vicariously, sometimes straight-on, I'll include examples which I hope this article will keep you from having to experience.1.Keep careful track of visitors' possessions. People bring all sorts of things in their suitcases and purses, like nitroglycerine and sleeping pills. Keep purses and luggage up off the floor, and in the case of cats, closed and latched.
Or you'll end up at the vet's, as I did one year, when Thisbe smelled chocolate (Ex Lax) in my mother's suitcase and ingested enough to kill her, said the vet, who...

Blown glass: they do still make it like they used to
Blown art glass is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies in North America?and it is about time. Glassblowing has been around since 27 BC in Syria, though the first evidence of manmade glass products occurs in Mesopotamia in the late 3rd century BC. But the advancement of actual "blowing" glass using a tube transformed the materials usefulness. The new technique quickly spread throughout the Roman world. Harvey Littleton, a ceramics professor, and Dominick Labino, a chemist and engineer, are credited with starting the most recent "studio glass movement" in 1962.
The two held workshops at the Toledo Museum of Art. This is where the current method of melting glass in a furnace for use in blown glass art was originated. Thus, Littleton and Labino are credited with making molten glass available to artists in private studios. The actual process of preparing the glass for blowing is very involved though. The glass is melted in furnaces using the sand, limestone, soda, potash...
