Video: Kid Rock PSA - Stealing Music

In recent comments, Kid Rock has said that his record company had previously asked him to stand against “illegal downloading” because he was told that people were stealing from him. According to a BBC report, his response to the label was: “Wait a second, you’ve been stealing from the artists for years. Now you want me to stand up for you?’
In true rock and roll style, this performer wasn’t going to do as he was told. “I was telling kids - download it illegally, I don’t care,” he said. “I want you to hear my music so I can play live.”

Now, in 2008, Kid Rock is boycotting iTunes because he says that artists are not getting their fair share of the revenue generated by the Apple store. He is annoyed at this ‘old system’ “where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists”.

Kid Rock crucially talks about how the Internet should’ve been a “great opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money.”
Of course, as the singer notes, it hasn’t turned out that way but concedes that he’ll probably have to put his music on iTunes at some point but notes that he’s doing ok overall without it: “I’ve just sold a million records, I’m not really feeling that blow” he said.

Tina Humphrey - Bluecroft My Blue Heaven

For all you dog lovers out there – a touching performance. Witness an amazing relationship between an animal and a human being, and hear the hauntingly beautiful piano solo that accompanies them. The song is called “I Giorni” by Ludovico Einaudi, inspired by a West African 12th-century folk song about a hippo who was loved by the people of the surrounding area but shot and killed by a hunter. Einaudi writes, “The song is sung as a lament for the death of a king or a great person or for the loss of a loved one.”

Dazzle's Dazzling Tricks!

Dazzle The Border Collie is now 3 years old - she has been learning tricks since she was a pup. There are about 60 separate tricks shown in the video. Most of these tricks were clicker trained and free-shaped. That means that Katherine Martucci waits for her to offer behaviors and they go from there. Her reason for training the tricks is really just to spend time working with Dazzle and building their communication, and also to entertain her brain! Cazzle actually knows even more tricks than shown in the video but Katherine just couldn't get them to fit!

About this video: Filmed at the Andalucian Horse Show, Jerez, Spain (pronounced Hereth) from the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art - the show "How the Andalusian Horses Dance". History of Jerez Jerez de la Frontera became famous throughout the world for its sweet wines named after the town, which the British pronounced "sherry". It is called "de la Frontera" because it once stood on the frontier between the Moorish and the Christian realms. Jerez is also famous, throughout the world, for its fine horses and brilliant singers and dancers of flamenco. But Jerez is also world famous for its magnificent dancing horses, which you can see at the Real Escuela Andaluza de Arte Equestre – the Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Art. On Thursday mornings there is a spectacular display of dressage. REAL ESCUELA DE ARTE EQUESTRE (The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art): Founded in Jerez in 1973. The main aims of this institution range from : The conservation and promotion of the classical and horse breaking, the preservation of the prestige of the local horsemanship to the development of new horsemen. Its headquarters is in El recreo de las Cadenas- elegant and nice palace. This building is surrounded by gardens designed by Garnier in the second half of the XIX century. At 12:00am the you will see the show "THOSE AMAZING DANCING ANDALUSIAN HORSES" (Duration about 1 hr & 30 mins.) The show is a fully fledged equestrian ballet, featuring choreography adapted from the training exercises of classical dressage and doma vaquera, with traditional Spanish music and costumes which date back to the 18th century. You really have to see it to believe it: horses and riders in a celebration of artistic creativity, in an explosion of harmony and colour - all to the evocative beat of music The "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" show is an equestrian ballet accompanied by totally Spanish music and 18th Century style costumes, all put together and choreographed using movements based upon Classic Dressage, Doma Vaquera and the daily chores of traditional equestrian work. Each show consists of between six and eight different choreographies, all of the same degree of difficulty and entertainment value and scheduled by the school. Sitting proudly in the centre of the town of Jerez de la Frontera, the famous Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre draws millions of visitors each year. The spectacle held on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at 12pm noon) "How Andalusian Horses Dance" is very popular, but you can attend training sessions on other days (Mon, Wed, Fri) for a cheap ticket and see the whole complex in all its majesty. The training sessions are between 10am and 1pm. The equestrian centre is built around the Recreo de las Cadenas Palace, itself an amazing 19th century baroque-style building designed by Charles Garnier (he also designed the Paris Opera.) The shows are held in the 1600 seat arena. After a disco style burst with laser lights, the distinctive tones of flamenco guitar take over and some ten riders dressed in 18th century country costume make their entrance. Then the impressive equestrian ballet begins. These choreographed dances are based on both classical (doma clasica) and country dressage (doma vaquera), as well as other specialised riding techniques. For example the horses would gallop around the ring making sudden changes of rhythm and spin tightly pivotting on a circle around their hind legs, all apparently in time with the music. This is the canter pirouette. The most spectacular part was the execution of high leaps with legs kicking out, known as a capriole. The horses at times did resemble dancers, especially with the technique called piaffe, where the horse trots on the spot and picks its legs up in diagonal pairs.

PostSecret: Delve deep into the human psyche

PostSecret
PostSecret is an ongoing community art project in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

doggiestyle


History
PostSecret began as an art installation for Artomatic 2004 in Washington, D.C. The simple concept of the project was that completely anonymous people decorate a postcard and portray a secret that they had never previously revealed. No restrictions are made on the content of the secret; only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before. Entries range from admissions of sexual misconduct and criminal activity to confessions of secret desires, embarrassing habits, hopes and dreams.

Since Frank Warren created the website on January 1, 2005, PostSecret has collected and displayed upwards of 2,500 original pieces of art from people across the United States and around the world.

Books
Selected postcards, including some not on the website, were published in PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives.

Instead of sending in their secrets, many people take their postcards to a bookstore and discreetly hide them between the pages of a PostSecret book. This spin-off activity means that the eventual purchaser of the book gets an unexpected secret to keep.
