His iceberg series shows that these frozen giants are far more than platforms for penguins: They are floating sculptures that are becoming increasingly endangered.

A bloke, his voice and some effect pedals. A street musician in one of it’s purest forms. Dub FX just feels good.
I’ve only recently discovered Benjamin Stanford’s work via word of mouth and YouTube and have already found everything I could by this man – bootlegs and official material. It just that good. Really.
I’ve found that the melodies are fantastic, the beats raw and invigorating, the innovation relentless… though I’m not really describing the album titled ‘Everythinks a Ripple’ but the live material found on video all over YouTube (see below). This is a case where the ‘real’ is far superior to the posed, produced, polished and manicured. It’s Benjamin’s performance that seals the deal. I would NEVER throw my copy of ‘Everythink…’ in the trash but I certainly would prefer a quality recording of streetside emotion and honesty over a refined-by-q-tips take any day, any hour, any way… at least for now.
Enjoy the tracks below. Please watch each at least once through to the end. If you don’t choke up while watching any of these videos you have ventured too far from the wall and your emotional self has become unplugged.
‘Flow’, the second video is my personal fave.

My adopted home does the man right.
Need I say, yet again, how much I love New Orleans? Yes. Yes I do.
They gathered on a 7th Ward corner to offer a traditional, raucous New Orleans send off befitting a king.
Just before dusk Sunday, the Revolution Social Aid & Pleasure Club began its march down St. Bernard Avenue, leading a second-line parade to honor Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, who died Thursday at age 50.

So, I get this comment today:
“I don’t mean to sound harsh here but its quite borring to receive your ‘tweets’ in my RSS reader. I keep getting the most banal stuff from this blog mixed in with really good content. Which means I’m forced to unsubscribe from your otherwise great blog…”
Harsh? Yeah, actually it was.. but a good point. I love Twitter. I use it for everything, updates to TWX, personal crap.. and I do see how this can ps3 be a bit underwhelming. So, Tweets will no longer be included as blog posts. Instead, I will use something in the sidebar soon, a mini feed or badge. I am not doing away with it altogether because it often includes changes, uploads and just general on-the-go stuff that I feel readers might have interest in. So, please, if you enjoy the Tweets, visit and subscribe to my Twitter Feed – you’ll get the more personal things and the undercurrent that I just don’t want to make a full blog post about… sometimes it may be exclusive content!
On that note, if you love Twitter/Facebook/Last.FM etc and are motorola looking for invites to SocialThing.com, I still have plenty of invites left. It’s a fantastic free service that ties your social dell sites together. Leave a comment if your interested!
Sorry you had to unsubscribe, Anon. I don’t want to loose readers. I hope you return and find that you may have helped things along. To those still around, hopefully you can see that speed is picking up around here and will continue to do so… now if I can only get more feedback on what people want! I KNOW yalls are out there…

Information:
A new monthly theme of mp3s are published to complement Antigravity Magazine’s content, a companion of sorts to Antigravity.
Like all music on TWX, I cannot guarantee that these songs will always be available due to the nature (?) of the Internet nor can I guarantee that every artist in Antigravity will have a song online that I can pull from.I strongly support local alternative media and it just so happens that I can get a small bit of promotion for TWX while doing so. There is no payment involved with either party. The Witness Exchange and Antigravity are and will continue to be two seperate sources but will be working together somewhat to bring you the best in (mostly independant) national and local acts… and all because we enjoy doing it. Neither Antigravity or The Witness Exchange is responsible for the content on the others real-world and/or online publication… though if you like one you are sure to like the other 
If you live in or are coming to the New Orleans area and like what you see in this theme you can find the actual FREE magazine in bars, laundromats, resturants and other dark corners scattered throughout the city. You can also visit the website but keep in mind that it is still being developed.
- Thanks to Leo @ Antigravity
