Chernobyl, Ukraine Three Decades Later. Would you believe that the worst human-made disaster occurred right there? One of the world’s worst nuclear reactor meltdowns occurred almost three decades ago at Chernobyl, a nuclear power plant near Pripyat, Ukraine. The Soviet authorities claimed only 31 people died, but the real figures are unknown. What is known is that they moved everyone out of Pripyat, turning the city into a ghost city overnight. Today, the city is still mostly abandoned, though a few people come back. Most of it is frozen in time the way it was in 1986. Here are some views from the abandoned city of Pripyat. Pripyat, Ukraine was abandoned 28 years ago when Chernobyl melted down The area is largely free of people, so it’s now a nature reserve for Przewalski’s horses People under 18 are forbidden to live in Pripyat. Realtime radiation levels are digitally shown on handy displays A statue of V. Memorial signs show relocated towns Here is the monument for the rescuers who helped people escape. The cleanup vehicles were left sitting in the city One church is open in Pripyat. Source
Postmodern Jukebox: Vintage Remixes of Modern Music [Videos] It was a few months ago when I came across Scott Bradlee's, Postmodern Jukebox on YouTube. The group had recently put out a vintage remix of Macklemore's song Thrift Shop and a British artist had in turn, created a techno remix of the vintage remix. In short, a modern remix of a vintage remix of a modern song had been born. Since then, Postmodern Jukebox has gone out to produce 31 YouTube videos, nearly approaching a grand total of one million combined YouTube views. Each song the group produces is done with a different feel that is present both in the sound of the song and in the filmography and the way the musicians dress. While you can (and absolutely should) browse the Postmodern Jukebox YouTube channel yourself to see all their incredible videos, here are some of our favourites. 1. This version of Macklemore's song is the obvious first choice as it is what introduce me to the group in the first place. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Louis CK in Double Vision by Adam Thirlwell The most memorable sequence in Louis CK’s movie Tomorrow Night—made in 1998 but released only last month, through his own website—begins with its otherwise stern and icily repressed hero, played by Chuck Sklar, in a suit of neat pajamas carefully scooping curled waves of ice cream into a large silver dish. He places this dish on a wooden upright chair. Then, removing his pajama trousers, he lowers himself with a sigh of ecstasy into the heap of soft cold gelato. To those, like me, who already love the acidic digressions of Louis CK’s comedy, where a storyline or thought process is suddenly interrupted by random material, this scene is roughly what you might expect from his early work. Until a few years ago, Louis CK was most famous for his stand-up routines. No doubt, when looking at the cast list, the excited fan might think that Tomorrow Night—written, produced, and directed by Louis CK—would be a similar zany funfest, with its cameos and future stars.
This Week's Best Songs: ScHoolboy Q, Mac DeMarco, Holly Herndon and more… Webster's Dictionary defines Friday as...the time to listen to this week's best songs, on Chart Attack dot com! Have A Nice Life, “Burial Society” “'Burial Society' seems to emanate from some massive sinkhole. It's heavy with the distress of death metal but its punishment is more gradual, a monolith of degenerative effects approaching from a great distance.” ScHoolboy Q, “Break THe Bank” “Money is the song's focus, but in his pursuit Q addresses the crucial ways it helps him live, like escaping his drug dealing past and providing for his daughter. Mac DeMarco, “Passing Out Pieces” “The charm is there and the sound has progressed, and that could be due to this new exhaustion. The Soft Moon, “Feel” THE SOFT MOON - Feel (Official Audio) <a href=" src=" alt="" width="640" height="340" /><br />Watch this video on YouTube</a> Holly Herndon, “Chorus” Holly Herndon - Chorus [Official Video]
Andrew Moore : City of Champions Model T HQ, Detroit Andrew Moore teaches in the Photography M.F.A. program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and is known for his large format color photography.My favorite project of Moore’s was his Detroit series, shot in 2008-2009, which appears in his book, Detroit Disasembled. A city deadened by the decline of the American automobile industry, Detroit has seen better days. In some of Moore’s photographs, it looks like nature is taking back its own from the industrial boom that, once gone, left ”the City of Champions” out to dry like the oil stains behind Texaco. Moore’sphotos work in part with a distinct vocabulary of time, with how it slackens and pulls taut at certain moments in history. Chemistry Lab, Detroit Another interesting fact about Moore’s book,Detroit Disasembled,is that Philip Levine, the new Poet Laureate of theUnited States, helped write the text for it.

Music's 50 Favorite Albums Of 2013 These are the albums we loved the most this year. In what we've written about each one below, you can see what we felt should be rewarded, what shook us up and what sucked us in over the 12 months of 2013. Not every one of the 22 different people with bylines here agree on which albums did any of that to them — we don't listen the same way, or for the same reasons — but you'll read the word "warm" more than once (as applied to an indie songwriter, a country singer and two electronic producers). These 50 albums are strange bedfellows, but that's how we listen. Advisory: Some of the songs on this page contain profanity. NPR Music's 50 Favorite Albums Of 2013 As Smog and under his own name, Bill Callahan has crafted an incredible 15-album body of work. Back when rock 'n' roll was a rebellious art form, the guitar was its chief weapon. The startling honesty in Brandy Clark's songwriting distinguishes her from much of what we've come to expect out of Music Row.
