I was very sad to learn of the death of Ahmet Ertegun, one of the three visionaries behind Atlantic Records. Having met him several times, it makes perverse sense that he would have met his end due to complications from a fall at a Rolling Stones concert. He was a man of music to the end.
I can't remember the last film review I read in Archeology. Traci Ardren, an AP at the University of Miami, who has studied classic Maya society for the 20 years, while living in Yucatan villages, has a different view of Mel Gibson's movie than the one you probably read in your local paper.
From Mikey Fremer comes Beyond the Pale's first music video. They aren't the first group I know of to compare Jewish liturgy and Rastafarian song (there's "By the Rivers of Babylon" of course), but this one's a goodie.
