Ten facts celebrating re-release of Pearl Jam’s classic first recording
(From Vancouver Sun [www_vancouversun_com] )
Pearl Jam’s Ten was a slow starter, floundering on the U.S. sales charts before it finally exploded one day shy of its first birthday. The steady pace eventually paid off for Pearl Jam, whose debut permanently altered rock ‘n’ roll. On Tuesday, (March 24), Ten is being re-released, 18 years after it’s debut. It’s sold a remarkable 12 million copies, making it not only one of the most successful debuts in history, but also one of the biggest alternative rock albums.
There are many stories surrounding the album, including Victoria at the outset of the band’s career.

Pak Pieter, Mantan Guru Orkes SMP 13
Suatu hari saya dapat SMS dari Shanty, teman sekelas 3C di SMP 13. Bunyinya bahwa Pak Pieter, guru Orkes (Olah Raga & Kesehatan) waktu kami SMP dulu dalam keadaan koma karena gagal ginjal. Perlahan mulai terbayang sosok Pak Pieter, guru Orkes yang dulu kerap menciprati kami dengan keringat muka beliau, caranya berjalan, caranya berbicara, anatomi tubuhnya yang gendut, perut buncit tapi lincah. Tapi masih samar2. Read the rest of this entry »

If Kurt were around today he’d say to me ‘well you turned out OK’
PEARL JAM - TEN (Reissue)
*****
A FEW miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in the district of Georgetown is a huge converted warehouse in an anonymous industrial neighbourhood.
It looks an unlikely location for a world-famous band, but for any Pearl Jam fan walking inside, it’s like entering Aladdin’s cave.
It’s the band’s HQ, rehearsal space and merchandise hub and impressively has all the stage sets, band memorabilia and instruments used throughout their 19-year history.
And the full guided tour offers more treats. The late Johnny Ramone’s baseball card and photo collection — he and singer Eddie Vedder were close friends — is on show near a skateboard ramp and an enormous baseball cage plus pitching machine.
Polaroid photos on display show Kings Of Leon in full baseball gear, ready to take a hit as a ball is spat out at 50mph.
Upstairs in the warehouse apartment — a place to crash if rehearsals extend into the night — Eddie is celebrating.
We meet on the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration and for Eddie, who was so central to the Vote For Change campaign, which urged people to choose John Kerry over George Bush in the 2004 presidential election campaign, it’s an extra special day.
“Let’s not even have his face anywhere on show,” he says with a beaming smile, as he turns over a copy of Rolling Stone magazine which features Bush glaring out from the cover.
“I’ve just watched him fly off to Texas on television. Finally we have got rid of him. I don’t ever want to see him again.”

25 Years of the Mac (Macworld)
On the Mac’s silver anniversary, we look at where it’s been—and where it’s headed next.
by Macworld Staff, Macworld.comIt seems like only yesterday that Macworld released its first issue, with a youthful, besuited Steve Jobs peering over a trio of original Macs on the cover.
OK, maybe not yesterday. But those 25 years seem to have come and gone as quickly as so many Apple CEOs. And that quarter of a century has given us the countless advances and changes—in software, hardware design, operating systems, and more—that make the Mac what it is today. But that’s the old news. What’s more important is what your Mac will be like next year, or the year after that, or five years from now. How will Apple’s ongoing endeavors and other technological developments impact the devices you use in the near future?
In this series, we take a look at how some of today’s trends are driving the technology of tomorrow, as well as how some of the past 25 years’ significant events brought us to where we are today. We’ve also asked some longtime members of the Mac community to share their thoughts on various aspects of the last two and a half decades.

Rahasia si Untung
Untung Bebek (Gladstone Gander)
(dari posting di salah satu milis)
Anda pasti kenal tokoh si Untung di komik Donald Bebek. Berlawanan
dengan Donald yang selalu sial. Si Untung ini dikisahkan untung terus.
Ada saja keberuntungan yang selalu menghampiri tokoh bebek yang di
Amerika bernama asli Gladstone ini.
Betapa enaknya hidup si Untung. Pemalas, tidak pernah bekerja, tapi
selalu lebih untung dari Donald. Jika Untung dan Donald berjalan
bersama, yang tiba-tiba menemukan sekeping uang di jalan, pastilah itu
si Untung. Jika Anda juga ingin selalu beruntung seperti si Untung,
don’t worry, ternyata beruntung itu ada ilmunya. Read the rest of this entry »

SONG FOR GAZA
“We will not go down”
Dear friends,
I have been overwhelmed by the warmth and the friendship you have all given me in response to my song for Gaza, “We Will Not Go Down”. I am doing my best to go through your numerous messages, emails and comments, and ask you to kindly bear with me until I am able to do so. Please forgive me if I am not able to respond to each and everyone of you; but please also know that I really appreciate your messages.
My original intention to donate proceeds from the sale of the MP3 to charity has been complicated by technical matters; therefore, I have decided to make the song available free of charge. I would like to request that after downloading the song from this page, you kindly donate directly to a charity or an organization dedicated to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. Worthy of note is UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which has been helping Palestinian refugees since their dispossession in 1949. Please click here to donate through them: http://www.un.org/unrwa/
Thank you for your continued encouragement of my work as a musician, for your purchases of my CD, and for spreading the song, the video and the message as you have been doing. I am grateful for every demonstration of support I have received from you, and for every thought and prayer that has gone to the people of Gaza.
Sincerely,
Michael Heart
