      Exploring the Sublime
      This week, I'll share a few more modules from my Squidoo lens on the history of landscape painting.The Sublime is an aesthetic philosophy that can be traced to the 1st century treatise On the Sublime but was extensively developed in the 18th and 19th centuries in England, most notably by Edmund Burke, in Germany by Kant, Schopenhauer and Hegel, and in France by Victor Hugo.I am giving the Sublime its own module because this philosophy has had a profound influence on Landscape Painting and is especially significant in the truly revolutionary, successful and influential work of J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, and The American Sublime. Project Gutenberg has made available for download the catalogue for The American Sublime exhibit.In landscape painting, the sublime is described in vast

      The Field won't make you Go Sublime after all
      Pitchfork is reporting that Swedish producer Axel Willner (a.k.a. The Field) wanted to come to United States with his new band for a little tour, but United States immigration officials had rejected their visa applications and barred them and all of their gear from entering the country. Oops! Willner has been forced to cancel all US dates, including his gig at Coachella festival on Sunday. Come on Barack, you can (and hopefully will) fix this immigration shit!

      Ensalada de Cabrales: When Cheese, Fruit & Nuts Become Sublime
      There are some things that just strike you as being astonishingly simple, yet brilliantly devised. For example, the interface of an iPod- the way you use it - is unbelievably clever in its design. One “wheel” and one button, and that’s it. Everyone - even me - can figure it out in about 8 seconds.

      Sublime words of David Suzuki on backyard pesticides
      If  genuine care, sincerity and concern for nature and protecting people was put into two words, they might be "David Suzuki". .

I was tempted for about a nanosecond before turning him down cold.   The house where I've lived for decades in Vancouver is not just a property to me.

The Budget Beauty Babe explains. —BB by The Budget Beauty Babe With spring break just around the corner, I've decided to try out some of the newest sunless tanners out on the market, opting out of the popular end-of-winter rush to the tanning salons (it's not worth the wrinkles and increased risk of skin cancer!)

      SUBLIME
      Sublime foi uma banda dos Estados Unidos formada em Long Beach, Califórnia, cujo som combinava uma mistura de reggae e dub, ska, punk, funk e hip-hop. Seus integrantes eram Brad Nowell (vocal e guitarra), Bud Gaugh (bateria) e Eric Wilson (baixo),além do Dálmata adestrado de Brad,Lou Dog,que aparecia nas entrevistas e nos shows como se fosse da banda. Seu álbum de maior sucesso foi o terceiro, homônimo. Nowel faleceu por overdose de heroína pouco antes de seu lançamento e a banda então terminou logo após.Curto o som, divulgo pra galera!

      Sublime: Repubblica (o il sottoscritto) manipola le informazioni
      Dunque, qui ieri si è scritto un post in cui si raccontava come - a detta del dipartimento di pubblica sicurezza del ministero dell’Interno - siano aumentati i furti d’auto, a causa dell’indulto.  La cifra è chiara: più 72,92%! Le informazioni, io le ho tratte da un articolo apparso martedì su Italia Oggi. Così come i virgolettati che ho riportato, altro non sono che una trascrizione della relazione presentata al Parlamento dal suddetto dipartimento. La domanda è una sola (e semplice semplice): chi mente, Repubblica che dice che i furti d’auto sarebbero diminuiti del 9%, o il sottoscritto che - grazie alle informazioni divulgate da Italia Oggi - sostiene che siano aumentati del 72,92%? A voi l’ardua sentenza. In tanto rileggetevi il virgolettato (contenuto nella relazione): “+72,92% nel periodo agosto dicembre 2006 rispetto allo stesso arco di tempo del 2005, a fronte di un aumento dello 0,93% registrato da gennaio a luglio 2006 rispetto allo stesso periodo 2005”.

      From The Ridiculous To The Sublime - Ingrid Hoffman to Michael Chiarello
      I have to take real exception with the awful, terrible, embarrassingly bad review that Ingrid Hoffman's show got in the New York Times this morning. It's just not true that Giada "is merely a good-looking woman with a mortar and pestle in comparison." Everything else, though, that Ginia Bellafante wrote is pretty darn accurate. (Read it quick, before they yank it off their website.)She says Ingrid cooks with her entire body. If you're throwing absolutely everything into it, shouldn't the final product reflect massive effort? Bellafante highlights, in particular, her shrimp, ketchup and brandy dish, saying "no two of (these ingredients) I'd ever consider in concert." She points out that in Ingrid's little world, EVERYTHING is great, every recipe turns out absolutely "yummy'. We know, from watching, that that's a complete untruth. If you grimace as you're watching her put these things together, then there's no way you can taste them without wincing.Simply Delicioso is simply

      The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
      I have a confession to make that may exclude me from the indie hipster crowd that a certain online review blog website seems to be generating. I really do not get or enjoy the music of Dan Deacon or Battles despite the obvious gushing I have seen for both across the web. Some of it is alright, but for the most part, it is really unlistenable. And while I would nominate Pitchfork as playing the pied piper role for both of those bands (and booking them for their festival last weekend as well), I have to give them credit for including an act that I do not have a hard time listening to at all in The Field. The Field is Axel Willner, and his style of electronic tunes is just what I enjoy from the ever growing laptop based genre. At this point, I would say The Field is still way underrated, but the previously mentioned Fork does love me, as evidenced by their review. You can purchase the album from Kompackt Records, a German label, right here….., though it is honestly not easy

      Spring is an anxious time for dance music afficionados the world over. No more so than in the fashion world, it's months in advance that the likely boys and girls make their pitches for dominance of the big season a couple of months down the road. This year's Miami Winter Music Conference is in full swing as I write, ploughing the road as the largest dance music industry conference. Unfortunately In Fact, Ah's travel budget couldn't quite stretch stateside this March (El Commandant P and myself will give you a good first hand account of Primaverasound in Barcelona come June though, thanks to El Commandant P's logistical forsight!). Anyways, if you need one picture worth a thousand words to understand Miami Winter Music Conference check out this party-goer!In Miami each year in March many tracks will see their first tentative steps towards mass dancefloor consumption via hot off the burner CD-Rs nonchalantly slipped into DJ sets.

      Las cortinas del sublime
      Este es uno de los temas que más gracia me hace y que a la vez me enerva de sobremanera. No se fíen del título, tiene un trasfondo más profundo de lo que pudiera parecer a simple vista. Describe como la arrogancia, la mala fe, el desprecio y otras pésimas facetas del ser, afloran en el momento más inesperado o simplemente siempre han estado ahí, pero no nos hemos molestado en mirar. Toda esta historia comienza cuando nos mudamos del garaje en el que empezó su andadura la empresa. Nos instalamos en unos nuevos locales que tenían un salón a nivel de la calle y un sótano cada uno. Eran amplios y espaciosos. Tenían mucha iluminación y no se parecían en nada a la lúgubre y oscura mazmorra en la que había trabajado varios años. El local principal, el que tenía acceso desde y hacia la calle, estaba dedicado a la zona de atención a clientes, los mostradores, los armarios con material y finalmente, ocupando la mitad trasera, el taller.

      The Field debuts with From Here We Go Sublime
      Stockholm-based producer Axel Willner, aka The Field, will release his eagerly anticipated debut album titled "From Here We Go Sublime" through Kompakt on March 26. Willner has already released two EPs on Kompakt; the 2006 4-tracker Sun & Ice and 12" Things Keep Falling Down in 2005. His tracks also appeared on both "Total 7" and "Pop Ambient 2007" compilations. "From Here We Go Sublime" includes three tracks from "Sun & Ice" alongside seven new cuts. Known for producing repetitive and insistent tracks, Willner's sound doesn't change much on the new LP. His trademark, uplifting sound with a great sense of warmth is present; and works well from the opening tune "Over The Ice" through the rest of the album. "The Field is a bit more happy and ambient technoish with a 4/4. You can dance to it," comments Willner.Continue reading "The Field debuts with From Here We Go Sublime">
