Faber Optimé	Dec 1 2009 10:31 PM Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site recently? Take care and keep in touch. Best, Faber. "Just a guy trying to make the world a better place."

Sharkweek	Jun 26 2009 4:54 AM Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions". The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub. Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience. "A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness." NZ$15 in NZ - shipping included US$15 overseas - shipping included Please visit the Electrode Records website to order the CD, or <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/vie
