this Photoshop is great, for those of you who know what "Gone With The Wind" is. Rumor is they are back in the saddle [h=2]Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Martin continue the romance that's been captivating the nation[/h] FRANKLY MY DEAR I DON'T GIVE A COLDPLAY [h=5]The great epic of our generation[/h] Thu, 08/01/2015 - 12:52 by Sophie Hall For a long time, we didn't actually believe Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence's relationship was even real. There had been literally one photo, and that photo was J-Law furtively walking out of a Coldplay gig. We've been to a Coldplay gig. Does this mean we've dated Chris Martin? Then apparently this relationship that could've genuinely never happened was off, because of that homewrecker Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer not liking how chummy Chris and his ex were, and how much he went round to watch Gwyneth's Sliding Doors DVD. Alright, that's not true - but nonetheless, it was declared the presence of Gwyneth was as looming over J-Law and C-Mar's relationship as Rebecca in the Hitchcocok film Rebecca. Obviously, this is most likely all tabloid fan-fiction, but THEN - it transpired the relationship was back on, or had begun existing, because the pair were photographed at a restaurant together. Now, apparently, things are definitely and truly good with Chris and Jen, according to mysterious sorcery, sorry, SOURCES, down at People Magazine. "Even though they are busy, the relationship is solid. They see each other when they can. Jennifer understands that the children come first with Chris and that his relationship with Gwyneth is based around the family and will always be a part of his life." The great romantic epic lives on!!!!!!! For more hope & glory and the worst Photoshop jobs the world has ever known, give us a cheeky follow on Twitter, fair weather friends! link http://www.holymoly.com/celebrity/news/jennifer-lawrence-chris-martin-continue-romance-thats-been-captivating-nation71781#ixzz3OGawa0Vg

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/08/movies/awardsseason/subversive-and-smart-scores-raise-the-volume-in-oscar-talk.html?_r=0 Article From The New York Times: [h=3]Awards Season[/h] [h=2]Hearing Oscar Buzz In Genre-Busting Scores[/h] [h=1]Patti Smith, Trent Reznor and Others on Writing Film Music[/h] By CARA BUCKLEYJAN. 7, 2015 Continue reading the main story Video [h=5]Play Video|3:02[/h] Patti Smith, the “godmother of punk,” crossed a new frontier when she wrote an original song for the movie “Noah,” based on the biblical flood. Video by Samantha Stark on Publish Date January 7, 2015. The musical tastes of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have rarely been synonymous with cutting edge. For every Oscar doled out to the likes of Eminem and Three 6 Mafia, who in the last dozen years became the first rap and hip-hop acts to win best song, umpteen more have landed in the hands of such syrupy crooners as Phil Collins, Celine Dion, or, God bless him, the inarguably talented, sardonically chipper Randy Newman. Still, as others have noted before, the Academy has broadened its music palette, giving nods to world and folk music along with hip-hop. The best score race took a delectable swerve four years ago, when Trent Reznor, the dark prince behind the industrial band Nine Inch Nails, and Atticus Ross beat out the stalwarts Hans Zimmer and Alexandre Desplat with their tense, pixelating soundtrack for “The Social Network.” This year, perhaps as a sign of the times, an increased number of less sanguine artists have found their way into the Oscar conversation. Mr. Reznor and Mr. Ross are back again, having scored “Gone Girl,” their third collaboration with the director David Fincher. Patti Smith, rock poet and godmother of punk, has earned a Golden Globe nomination, her first, for her lullaby “Mercy Is” from “Noah.” Also nominated for their first Golden Globes — being handed out on Sunday — are the drowsily downbeat songstress Lana Del Rey (for the titular track from “Big Eyes”) and Lorde (for “Yellow Flicker Beat” from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1”). Photo Trent Reznor, pictured, scored “Gone Girl” with Atticus Ross. “We fooled them all,” Mr. Reznor told the Bagger, with a wink, during a recent joint interview with Mr. Ross. Not all genre-busting music scores have been embraced. The percussive soundtracks to both “Whiplash” and “Birdman” were deemed ineligible by the Academy, which in its rule book bars “scores diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music.” The “Birdman” composer, Antonio Sanchez, and director, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, filed protests arguing for its inclusion — unsuccessfully. The Bagger chatted with a few of this year’s potential Academy musical nominees about how they found their way into film, among them Mr. Reznor; Ms. Smith; Chris Martin, who wrote “Miracles” for “Unbroken”; and Common, who is a co-writer of “Glory,” for “Selma.” For even the most established musician, writing music for the big screen evoked a muted terror. “There’s nothing worse than when you’re watching a movie and one of the characters takes you out and you no longer believe the atmosphere,” said Ms. Smith, who recorded “Mercy Is” with the Kronos Quartet. “The same thing can happen with the wrong piece of music, so I felt a responsibility.” Her involvement with “Noah” started by happenstance; she bumped into its director, Darren Aronofsky, at the Venice Film Festival. He told her he needed a lullaby for Russell Crowe to sing in “Noah,” about the Old Testament flood, and that the song would play a crucial role in the film’s narrative. Ms. Smith, who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and steeped in the Bible, quickly offered herself. “I aggressively volunteered to write the lullaby because I like lullabies,” she said. “I have a strong relationship with the text.” Mr. Aronofsky was thrilled. “I tried to act as cool as possible and be as nonchalant as I could,” he said. Ms. Smith, however, was nervous. Recording the song with the Kronos Quartet was, she said, “more daunting than playing at the Vatican.” (She has performed at the Vatican Christmas Concert for the past two years.) “They have such a beautiful, dissonant way of playing,” she said of the quartet, “and I had to find my way live into their world.” And while she had written a song for “The Hunger Games” soundtrack and allowed her compositions to be used in movies, she had never penned one upon which a key plot point would depend. Photo Patti Smith received a Golden Globe nomination for her song “Mercy Is” from “Noah.” Credit Gregorio Borgia/Associated Press Mr. Reznor faced performance anxiety of his own when it came to composing scores. While Mr. Fincher directed Nine Inch Nails’ 2005 video “Only” — and used a remix of the band’s hit “Closer” in the film “Seven,” Mr. Reznor had never thought much about music in movies. “A lot of it I think is not exciting to me,” he said. After Mr. Fincher asked Mr. Reznor and Mr. Ross to write music for “The Social Network,” the two were immediately fearful of “ruining his movie,” Mr. Reznor said. But the exact opposite happened — they won the Oscar. They also hatched a way of working that they would also use for Mr. Fincher’s next two films, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and “Gone Girl”: After homing in on the film’s emotional world, they sent a dozen or so five-minute compositions to Mr. Fincher, and then spent ages sculpting and tweaking. Both men said they felt they had Mr. Fincher’s unalloyed support as well as his protection should studio heads dissent. “There are points in the score which are very kind of experimental and weird,” Mr. Ross said. “You need a director who has that level of sophistication musically speaking to allow you to go there.” Mr. Reznor said the work also offered a fresh alternative to a rock musician’s often cyclical life of recording and touring, without making him feel as if he and Mr. Ross had sold out. “To be able to put out something that I think is very subversive and smart to a mainstream audience, and to see it be financially successful, that feels good,” Mr. Reznor said. Mr. Reznor may have paid little attention to film soundtracks before intersecting with Mr. Fincher, but Mr. Martin, of Coldplay, said he and his mates spent a good part of their teenage years writing James Bond-like music. Yet for ages after becoming successful, Coldplay did not write original songs for movies. “For a long time, we were holding out to do a Bond theme,” Mr. Martin joshed. When it became clear that wasn’t happening, the band agreed to write “Atlas” for “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” (2013), earning Grammy and Golden Globe nominations. Then Angelina Jolie came calling, asking for a song for “Unbroken.” Mr. Martin said the band members found the books on which “Unbroken” and “Hunger Games” were based to be deeply inspiring, ergo their decision in both cases to say yes. “Anything that opens up fresh parts of your imagination is to be encouraged,” he said, “but you can only really do it if you respond to the subject.” In “Selma,” Common, the rapper and actor, played the civil rights activist James Bevel; the director Ava DuVernay was already deep in editing when she asked him about doing a song as well. He immediately thought of working with John Legend, who quickly agreed, and three days later sent Common “Glory,” a piece with soaring vocals over an original piano. “When I received it, I felt a joy,” Common said. He laid down his vocals, and played it for Ms. DuVernay over the phone. “She was so happy,” he said. “She told me that before I played it she was thinking, ‘How can I tell him if I don’t like this?’ ” The song quickly won accolades, and Common said that he knew they had hit the right note when both his mother and 17-year-old daughter teared up after hearing it. “I really felt that we had created something that felt right,” he said.

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/01/if-you-cant-wait-for-the-apple-watch-try-out-this-interactive-demo If you can’t wait for the Apple Watch, try out this interactive demo BY Brent Dirks on <time class="" datetime="2015-01-07" pubdate=""> Wed January 07th, 2015</time> apple apple watch pipes pipes news <section itemprop="articleBody" class="contentBody contentPad stdRounded lteshaddowWide"> The developer behind the app Pipes News has just launched an interesting new site featuring an interactive demo of the upcoming Apple Watch. Head on over to the site here. You can play around with the watch demo and do things like view glances, demo what a push notification will look like, and launch an app from the Watch’s home screen. Launching most apps just shows a static image, but launching the Music app will play Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars.” What the Pipes News app will look like on Apple’s first wearable device. Pied Piper Labs also showcases what the Pipes app will look like on the Apple Watch. Just yesterday, a new report said Apple is planning for the device to arrive before the end of March. Some retail store employees are scheduled to receive training on the Apple Watch as early as next month. When it finally hits the market, buyers will be able to select from three different versions – the Sport Edition, the Apple Watch, or the Edition model. The low-end Sport version will start at $349. Pricing for the other two models isn’t currently known. But the Edition, with an 18-karat yellow or rose gold case, could cost as much as $5,000. Since I’ve been only staring at static images of the Apple Watch and its UI for almost the last four months, it was interesting to finally get a taste of how the device will actually operate. Hopefully, Apple will announce more about the Watch sooner rather than later. If you’re interested, my colleague Bryan M. Wolfe recently took a look at some of the unanswered questions about the device. </section>

Just found an interesting article from CNN on "Front Row Fanatics". The lead pic is from the Coldplay show at Rock in Rio Link - http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/07/world/cnnphotos-front-row-rio-concert/ [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Front-row fanatics at Rock in Rio By Larry Frum, Special to CNN Updated 11:28 AM ET, Wed January 7, 2015 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Story highlights Photographer Gabriel Quintao captures the excitement at the front row of a music concert He has been taking photos at the Rock in Rio festival for years in Rio de Janeiro "The front row is always unpredictable; it changes every time," he said (CNN)Fandom is a tricky thing. People are willing to do some unusual and sometimes dangerous things because of their devotion for a team, player or entertainer. Music fans often reach the height of fandom as they crush themselves to the front of the stage in an effort to get as close to the performers as possible. Entertainment photographer Gabriel Quintao has been capturing the faces in the crowd for a few years now and likens their devotion to a battle scene. Gabriel Quintao "The idea of the essay is to drive the audience into a war environment," Quintao said about his "Front Row" project. "The shades of gray with a lot of contrast associated with the dramatic faces and the desperate acts of the crowd gave me the drama I wanted." Indeed, the images he captures depict the agony and frustration someone might feel in conflict. But amid the pain, there is also joy and excitement as music lovers get a taste of something most people at a concert do not. Quintao's photographs from the Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro are up-close, personal and intimate. The festival is one of the largest music concerts in the world and has brought together some of the most popular acts of their time: Queen, Prince, Elton John, Katy Perry and, more recently, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen and Metallica. It draws hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world to see and hear their favorite acts. But for some people, it is the chance to show the performers how they feel about them. "I realized that people who stay at the first row in these situations don't want just to listen to the music better or to see their idol closer," Quintao said. "They want to prove love to the person on the stage and to prove to themselves that they're brave." They want to prove love to the person on the stage and to prove to themselves that they're brave. Gabriel Quintao The 30-year-old photographer, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, said the crowds who press forward during the music festival is mostly younger and male. However, there is a woman he thinks is in her 60s who is ever-present at many of the venues and somehow makes her way to the first row. From Quintao's photos, it might appear that the action on the stage is secondary to the rush in the crowd. Quintao trains his camera on what he believes is the most unpredictable places to get the most emotional images at the events. "Sometimes the artist behind the microphone just doesn't move, the light doesn't change and a few pictures already present what the gig was," he said. "But the front row is always unpredictable; it changes every time. People reaching their physical limit just to be as close as possible to their idol is much more interesting than the planned and controlled situation happening on the stage." Social media The subjects of his lens have described themselves as proud to go through such pain for their musical adulation, and they proclaim "the front row is only for the real ones" on the Facebook page of his projects. "People who face this situation until the end of the concert go home feeling they've received an honor medal for being strong," Quintao said. "Who wants to see the concert comfortably from an empty space?" While he's never seen a serious injury from his position in the pit, the space between the stage and the crowd, Quintao hopes his photos do justice to the level of emotions portrayed in the name of fandom. He thinks the people in the front row believe they answer to a higher calling. "The aim of this work is to show the power of fanaticism," he said. "I wanted to show how a rock concert can be similar to a religion cult, where sometimes people submit themselves to suffering just to prove their love to their idol." Gabriel Quintao is a Brazilian photographer based in Sao Paulo. You can follow his work on Facebook.

very cool

found this little smoldering ditty

omg.............you are all nuts good but good nuts

Just today I posted a pic on twitter of what is prob a fake lineup for Govs Ball with Coldplay on the bill. But It got me so excited just to see their name. The only thing I will ever take for true is when Coldplay posts it. You cannot take hearsay or whatever the interweb says is true. It will happen when it happens.

Wait, the gloaming is Mikey right, now I am laughing so much harder

March, cold and dreary
