Solo Cups: Knowledge
I was curious about the lines on solo cups the other weekend and learned something amazing. This information should be taught in an intro class to all high schoolers and college students.
It turns out that the lines of the solo cup allows you to measure out a shot, a glass of wine, and a beer. This would have been ridiculously helpful during my partying years!

Martin Klimas - What Music Looks Like, 2011
Artist’s statement:
“Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by Klimas begins with splatters of paint positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music—typically something dynamic and percussive, like Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk—and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his camera.”
L-R:
1. Miles Davis
2. Paul Hindemith
3. Pink Floyd
4. Kraftwerk
5. Charlie Parker
6. Grace Jones
7. J.S. Bach

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]“Rock Island Line” by Lead Belly
There is nothing I can say about Lead Belly that will do the man and his work justice half so well as what Tom Waits has written:
Songs just like being around some folks more than others. They won’t just live anywhere. Birds like some trees better than others. We don’t know why… Making up songs is just like coming up with something crazy to do with the air besides just breathing it. Seems like a waste to just breathe it in and then push it back out quietly. It must have excited the air to go through Lead Belly as ordinary oxygen and come out the other side as “The Midnight Special” or “Silvie” or “Ella Louise” or “Rock Island Line.” There’s a bird in South America whose song is so powerful and lovely, and who sings so rarely that when he does sing all the animals in the forest are quiet until his song is finished. They say to hear it brings luck, to see it insures you a place in heaven. Lead Belly was loud. I was born the day after he died, on December 7, 1949, and I passed him in the hall. He was as strong as Jack Johnson, he was louder than Caruso. Songs climb up some folks like a vine climbs a trellis. There is something in Lead Belly’s voice so urgent, “Come here right now and listen. Drop what ever you’re doing…” he’s hollering to you from the next hill over. It carried bold and impatient. He broke microphones, they weren’t prepared for his impolite delivery. When I first heard his voice, I knew it already. In mole communities they reward the brave ones. The ones known for tunneling beneath great rivers who faced the dangers involved in pulling off such an incredible feat of engineering, the ones responsible for taking other moles safely to the other side. Lead Belly is as much a part of the natural world as crows are, as dogs are, children playing in the yard are, trains are, jails are, second floor apartments are, and his songs are safe on the other side. And they’re all a part of you now.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]“The Man In Me” covered by The Clash
The Vanilla Tapes were demo tracks recorded by the English Punk band The Clash—in essence, an early version of their album London Calling. Roadie Johnny Green was to deliver the tapes to the band’s new producer,Guy Stevens; Green fell asleep on the train ride to the studio. Waking up at the station where he was to disembark, he panicked, and in his rush left the tapes behind. After that, the tapes were considered lost until March 2004, when Clash guitarist Mick Jones was moving boxes and came upon a copy of the tape.
This track is The Clash playing a vastly altered version of “The Man In Me” by Bob Dylan. It’s probably one of the greatest things in the history of ever.
