twice a year, our omnipotent star, the good ol’ setting sun aligns with the east/west streets of new york city’s grid. the origin of the word manhattanhenge, popularly dispersed by the enigmatic astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson, comes from stonehenge (their silhouettes and reactions are parallel). this event occurs annually during the end of may and july 12th and 13th. in 2013, it occured in half-sun form on may 28th and full sun form on may 29th around 8:15PM respectively. if you missed this beautiful cosmological event, you will have another chance to witness it in july (the 12th and 13th) around 8:20PM. how appropriate for science week… by hk


deep purple with original lead singer ian gillan
thanx for the ian gillan post nk. here’s the crazy thing, this track from deep purple, which i had totally forgotten about, performed on german TV, with altered lyrics to include “, mickey mouse, steve mcqueen and everything”, had light bulbs suddenly popping over my head. highway star is such a cross-over with bits from the doors (amazing organ riffs, not to mention the uncanny resemblance of ian gillan to jim morrison), and bits from the can’s signature jam sessions (despite less experimental and more musical here) plus the added madness of richie blackmore’s guitar solo at the end. its quite fantastic. by dd
