R&P: Do you think Drummer's are still sorely over-looked these days?
I was just thinking about this because, I was discussing in an email with a friend about Ringo Starr. And how I own one of his album's called Ringo's Rotogravure (1976). Which was not very commercially successful when it came out. Even though it is a pretty decent album with people such as Dr. John, Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton,John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Harry Nilsson, Vini Poncia and Clifford T. Ward working on it with him.
Then a bit earlier today I was listening to Kansas' "How My Soul Cries For You." Which comes from their 1979 Monolith album ( listening to on Vinyl of course!) So I decided to look it up on Youtube and, automatically agreed with Drew Hannush's comment:
"Phil Ehart is so forgotten when it comes to lists of great rock drummers...this song was one of the best studio recordings for showing his absolute mastery."
The Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hpDJr4Wj5g
Which is what inspired me to ask this question in the first place. Because how could a drummer like that be over-looked at all after such mastery?
4 AnswersRock and Pop8 years agoIs it just me or is Beyonce not that great of a female role model, telling other Women to bow down to her?
In her song "Bow Down/I Been On" (I heard it on E! last month.) She sings to her female contemporaries (as well as insulting them, by calling them B****es.) And tells them how they should bow down to her superiority. Now I personally just find that, incredibly pathetic to be honest. Good job at telling your young female fans how to act Beyonce. NOT!
When you start believing you're some sort of God/Goddess for real.
Then well you've lost it completely to be honest.
I don't want to make myself throw up even more.
So dare to look it up on YouTube for yourself!

6 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoWhat does it mean when you dream about being the bad guy, and the good guy at the same time?
So anyway I had this dream where I was in a video game. The scene was a medium-sized kitchen. Pretty clean actually and there's, also a guy in the room with me. (I'm female btw.) But what makes this more interesting is that I take turns, at being a Zombie/Cannibal Killer and being his helper/friend.
Also when I was being the helper/friend. I remember him standing on top of a table, piled up with a heck of a lot of food on plates or something. Anyway the food ranged from being rotten and being fresh. There was also a lot of meat as well. Human and otherwise of course. At the same time while he's in terror trying not to poop his pants. This Zombie/Cannibal enters the Kitchen from another door. Then a few seconds later I wake up.
3 AnswersDream Interpretation8 years agoCan we grow a stronger-than-steel 'wonder material' to save the world?
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/8/4195982/nanocellu...
It’s stiffer than Kevlar, thinner than paper, and in a few years, it may be mass-produced using only sunlight and water.
Scientists in the US this week announced a new, and potentially groundbreaking method for producing nanocellulose — a so-called "wonder material" derived from tree fiber that could be used to create ultra-thin displays, lightweight body armor, and a wide range of other products.
Their key ingredient? Algae.
""one of the most important discoveries in plant biology""
Dr. R. Malcolm Brown, a biology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, presented his team's findings at an American Chemical Society conference in New Orleans on Sunday, heralding their progress as a major step toward "one of the most important discoveries in plant biology."
At the core of Brown's research is a family of bacteria that produce vinegar, Kombucha tea, and nata de coco. These bacteria secrete nanocellulose in a culture medium, though extracting the material at a large scale would require high volumes of sugars, nutrients, and fermentation tanks. Today, most non-bacterial nanocellulose is produced from compressed and homogenized wood pulp — a relatively inexpensive, but resource-heavy process.
Brown's method, by contrast, is vastly more efficient and environmentally friendly, requiring only sunlight, water, and algae. By genetically engineering vinegar bacterium into blue-green algae, Brown's lab has effectively created organic factories capable of making nanocellulose on a potentially industrial scale.
"Organic, self-sustaining factories"
These genetically-altered algae, known as cyanobacteria, are entirely self-sustaining. They produce their own food from sunlight and water, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, offering a natural way to reduce the world's most pernicious greenhouse gas.
The team is currently working on synthesizing a more complete and stable form of the material, though their progress is already promising. If scaled up, Brown's method could have a dramatic impact across several sectors.
Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth, forming a major component in tree trunks, dietary fibers, and cotton. Nanocellulose shares some similar properties, though it's notably more versatile — lightweight, stiffer than Kevlar, and, under certain conditions, conductive.
Advances in genetic engineering have only expanded its potential. Last year, researchers in Finland created a nanocellulose aerogel with an incredibly high buoyancy. According to the scientists, a one-pound boat made of this substance would be able to carry up to 1,000 pounds of cargo.
Brown says bacterial nanocellulose can also be used to create ballistic glass, aerospace materials, or even wound dressings, due to the fact that it retains its stiffness and strength even when submerged in liquid. But perhaps its most obvious application would be in the paper and display industry.
"Thin, lightweight, and remarkably versatile"
At a press briefing Sunday, Brown said he and his team have begun adding electrochromic dye to the cellulose to create an electronic display. “I see this as a major development," he said, noting that its thin and flexible qualities make it ideal for electronic wallpaper, as well.
It's unlikely that Brown's material will completely replace traditional paper, but its sustainable qualities present obvious environmental benefits.
"It certainly won't replace or supplant the forest and paper industry, but it could supplement it," Brown said in an interview with The Verge, adding that his technique, if widely adopted, could help reduce deforestation.
Brown's lab is still "five to ten years" away from adapting the process to a large scale, though he says the science behind it is sound. All they need now, the professor explains, is broader awareness and momentum.
Last year, the US Forest Service opened the country's first nanocellulose production facility in Wisconsin, in an effort to take the lead in renewable nanomaterials. After devoting 40 years to nanocellulose research, Brown hopes that his latest developments will encourage similar investments.
"We need to have more funds in this area," Brown told reporters. "So having the chance to tell the world more about this new microorganism will, I think, help tip the funding. I hope so."
