Come, take a
ride and
look at some of the
Islamic Art of the past. Or, you could call it
Art of the
Islamic World if you're so inclined. If not, then how about taking into account some of the
major milestones of
Islam throughout the
centuries, from
past till
present (
more examples here), including the
art of
Calligraphy and
Architecture. Not to mention the
Arab world's contribution to
music, both
old and
new. [

Yo La Tengo is Murdering the Classics... again! For the 12th straight year, this legendary
group of music nerds from
Hoboken, NJ encamps to the studios of local free form radio station
WFMU to play, on the spot, three full hours of listener-requested covers. The request show, part of the station's annual pledge drive, happens tonight
(Sunday, March 2) from 5-8 pm EST, and thanks to the wonder that is the internet you can
listen (128k MP3 stream) and
pledge live from anywhere in the world
(or catch the real broadcast in FM at 91.1 in NYC / New Jersey and 90.1 in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Western NJ and Eastern Penn).

The Torture Tape Experiment Create for combat purposes a tape so wretched and foul that anyone who listens to it for 24 hours will never be able to think straight again. Warning: dangerous MP3 files contained within.

Take one part virtual minidisk, one part crazy dream, stir it all together with a dash of creativity and maybe you too can find a
Break in the Road. It's actually kind of fun to play with. I couldn't produce anything that sounded to my ear like music, but I'm sure you lot can do better.
