The summer sun seems to have penetrated even the pissed off perma-haze that surrounds Clipse. “Fast Life,” apparently the first single off the upcoming official Re-Up Gang album, is a seasonally driven celebration of easy-livin’. Well, almost — even over Scott Storch’s skittery synths, straight out of a Lamborghini cruising down South Beach, the Brothers Thornton still indulge in some coke talk: “Tell the Feds to take mo’ pictures, I smile for the cameras / My niggas hold keys like janitors.”

Gong slowly came together in the recent '60s when Australian guitar player Daevid Allen (ex-Soft Machine) began making music with his married woman, isaac Bashevis Singer Gilli Smyth, on with a shifty lineup of supporting musicians. Albums from this geological period include Magick Brother, Mystic Sister (1969) and the impromptu wad seance Bananamoon (1971) featuring Robert Wyatt from the Soft Machine, Gary Wright from Spooky Tooth, and Maggie Bell. A unwavering lineup featuring Frenchman Didier Malherbe (saxophone and reeds), Christian Tritsch (bass part), and Pip Pyle (drums) on with Allen (glissando guitar, vocals) and Gilli Smyth (space whispering vocals) was officially named Gong and released Camembert Electrique in late 1971, as comfortably as providing the soundtrack to the cinema Continental Circus and music for the album Obsolete by French poet Dashiel Hedayat.
Camembert Electrique contained the number 1 signs of the band's mythology of the peaceable Planet Gong populated by Radio Gnomes, Pothead Pixies, and Octave Doctors. These characters on with Zero the Hero ar the focal point of Gong's next three albums, the Radio Gnome Trilogy, consisting of Fast Teapot (1973), Angel's Egg (1974), and You (1975). On these albums, agonist Zero the Hero is a space traveller from Earth wHO gets mazed and finds the Planet Gong, is taught the slipway of that humankind by the gnomes, pixies, and Octave Doctors and is sent back to Earth to spread the word around this mystic planet. The band themselves adoptive nicknames -- Allen was Bert Camembert or the Dingo Virgin, Smyth was Shakti Yoni, Malherbe was Bloomdido Bad de Grasse, Tritsch was the Submarine Captain and Pyle the Heap. Over the course of action of the trilogy, Tritsch and Pyle left and were replaced by Mike Howlett (bass part) and Pierre Moerlen (drums). New members Steve Hillage (guitar) and Tim Blake (synthesizers) linked.
After You, Allen, Hillage, and Smyth left the chemical group referable to originative differences as advantageously as tiredness. Guitarist Allen Holdsworth linked and the ring drifted into virtuosic if uninventive jazz spinal fusion. Hillage and Allen each released various solo albums and Smyth formed Mothergong. Nevertheless the trilogy lineup has reunited for a few one-off concerts including a 1977 French concert documented on the splendid Tam-tam Est Mort, Vive Gong album. Allen too reunited with Malherbe and Pyle as well as other musicians he had collaborated with over the years for 1992's Shapeshifter record album. Hillage too worked as the ambient-techno false name System 7. A number of Gong-related bands feature existed over the geezerhood, including Mothergong, Gongzilla, Pierre Moerlin's Gong, NY Gong, Planet Gong, and Gongmaison. During the new millennium Gong material continued to be released, including Live 2 Infinitea issued in come down 2000, as comfortably as legion reissues. I Am Your Egg appeared in 2006 from United States of Distribution.

Ananda Shankar, nephew of world-famous sitar player, Ravi Shankar, never quite matched the success of his uncle, only made a important impact in the '70s psychedelic resistance scene by combination Western electronics and Indian music to create instrumental jams and moody soundtracks.The boy of famed classical dancers caught the entertainment industry bug in the late '60s and traveled to Los Angeles, where he played with rock musicians (including Jimi Hendrix) at the elevation of the psychedelic movement. At long time 27, he sign-language a apportion with Reprise Records world Health Organization released his debut self-titled album; a coalition cult classic that combined Hindustani music with psych-rock and included sitar-heavy versions of "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Light My Fire." After inadequate Stateside record gross sales, Shankar returned to India and began constructing 1975's Ananda Shankar and His Music, a blend of savage funk beats, keyboards, and traditional Indian instruments. From 1978 to 1981, he recorded cinque conceptual records: Republic of India Remembers Elvis (Indian versions of Elvis standards), A Musical Discovery of India (an enterprise financed by the Indian tourist board), Missing You (a dedication to his parents), the space-themed 2001, and the jungle safari-tinged Sá-Re-Gá Machán. In the mid-'90s, a new generation of DJs and musicians plant an abundance of samples in his discography, and when Blue Note released the 1996 compilation album Risque Juice, Vol. 1 which featured two of his dance tracks, "Streets of Calcutta" and "Terpsichore Drums," a reawakened interest in his music light-emitting diode to a tour-slot in Peter Gabriel's Womad festival and some other aboard Asian turntablist DJ State of Bengal. This collaboration resulted in 2000s Walking On, featuring Shankar's sitar virtuosity motley with bachelor launchpad breakbeats and trip-hop. Sadly, he never byword the sack of the album, due to a sudden nub attack at eld 56. In 2007, Fallout Records reissued Ananda Shankar and His Music, with Sá-Re-Gá Machán with India Remembers Elvis tacked on as bonus tracks.

Details about which acts will appear at each show are available at DiFranco's website.While the self-described "Little Folksinger" was taking a break from the road last year to focus on motherhood, she put together her first career retrospective, "Canon." The 36-song collection, which surfaced in September on DiFranco's own Righteous Babe indie label, delves into material from her 1990 debut to 2006's "Reprieve," and includes five re-recorded tracks of old favorites, including "Both Hands."

White House - Mcclellan Admits He Gave Media False Info
Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan admitted Sunday that he had "unknowingly"
presented "false information" to the news media about President Bush's Iraq strategy.
"I was part of this propaganda campaign, absolutely," McClellan conceded on NBC's M
eet the Press as he continued to promote his new book, What Happened: Inside
the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception. McClellan, who has
been criticized by both the right and the left for not having voiced his objections while still
part of the president's inner-circle, indicated that he agreed with those critics.
"The most important lesson" that he came away with, he said, "is that it's important
to speak up at the time and I was young and I probably should have spoken up about
some of these issues sooner." Meanwhile, reporters Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay
of the Knight Ridder newspapers (purchased by McClatchy publications) who challenged
the president's policies on Iraq beginning in early 2002 have criticized TV repo
rters who challenged McClellan's assertions that they did not ask him the right questions.
On the McClatchy blog (http://washingtonbureau.typepad.com/nationalsecurity) the
two outlined some of the questions that went unasked (except by them) in the run-u
p to the invasion and call the reporters' denials "Hogwash! HOGWASH."
