Visualization Of The Decline Of Empires

A dynamic year-by-year graphic representation of the evolution of the major colonial empires over the last 2 centuries. Would be great to see this applied to other empires in history as well: Alexander The Great, Rome, Genghis Khan, etc.

Thomas Tallis

Been watching the 1st season of The Tudors lately, kind of a trashy-fun Sopranos for the ruff n' corsets set. The show is almost like a big commercial for Thomas Tallis music. So here's some Thomas Tallis music. Hppy thxgvg.

Spiritualized

Fact Magazine just posted a nicely selective A-to-Z overview on the band Spiritualized with some interesting odds n' ends streamed (including a cover of the X-Files theme that I've never heard before). Now let's get one for Loop.

Apologies for the post-(s)lacking. Been busy working on the US setup for the new Hot Chip album (out 2/9/10...woo hoo).
