Rounds is the third album by Four Tet. It was released on 5 May 2003
A promotional version of the album was issued in March 2003. The only track different from the version on the final release is "Unspoken", which originally featured an alternate piano melody sampled from the Tori Amos song "Winter". Because Amos' record company refused to clear the sample, a new melody was improvised for the official release of Rounds.

Rico Rodriguez - The Legacy (Documentary)
"This documentary (made by Jep Jorba, Miquel Àngel Arnáiz and Ester Casals) is a very humble documentary, in terms of money and material resources. We know that it has its limitations and could be much better.
In spite of that fact, the national TV in Catalunya wanted to show it and everything was OK for the broadcasting. We thought that should be no problem with the rights of the songs, as we didn't get almost any money for that broadcasting.
The surprise was when the companies that owns the rights of the songs asked me an ashaming quantity of money that it was impossible for us to pay. We explained that we were students, that we didn't had that kind of money. We got no reply. Those are the so called "defenders of the rights of the culture-makers". Pure rasclaat lies!
So, after two years, I've decided leaving apart the top-down strategy to an horizontal one, creating this blog, in order to show the entire documentary to everyone.
Please enjoy it!"

4 Times Journalists Held Captive in Libya Faced Days of Brutality
Tyler Hicks, The New York Times photographer near the front line during a pause in the fighting on March 11 in Ras Lanuf, Libya. Four days later, he and three other Times journalists were taken captive by government soldiers.
Word of the day: "Natoesque". That's what the #Libya military operation will be apparently. Which means not Nato-led but Nato-ish. Clear?

Maggie Bjorklund – Coming Home (2011 - Albumstream)
The notion of a female alt-country star from Denmark sounds a bit like a joke, perhaps something Garrison Keillor might mention in passing on A Prairie Home Companion (perhaps referring to a CD the nephew of one of the Norwegian bachelor farmers brought home from college), but Maggie Björklund most certainly isn't kidding, and her first solo album, Coming Home, is a well-crafted, low-key delight. Björklund is a pedal steel guitarist from Copenhagen best known for her work with the Darleens, and she's also backed up a handful of American artists, including Exene Cervenka, Mark Pickerel, and Christy McWilson. Though Coming Home is Björklund's first solo effort, it sounds like the work of a seasoned professional with a clear vision and the talent to bring it to life. Björklund was able to attract some impressive names to help her out on Coming Home; Mark Lanegan duets with her on two tunes, Jon Auer of the Posies sings lead on a pair of songs, Rachel Flotard of Visqueen contributes two vocals, and Joey Burns and John Convertino of Calexico anchor the backing ensemble. While Björklund isn't afraid of sharing the spotlight on this album, her presence is clearly felt on every tune; her pedal steel work is short on needless flash, instead conjuring evocative washes of sound that add color and personality to the songs, while her melodies are richly atmospheric, with American roots music flavors seasoned by melancholy minor-key accents and spare
arrangements that add to the spectral, subtly cinematic effect of this music. And despite the shuffle between instrumentals and a handful of different singers, each with distinct musical personalities, these 11 songs cohere into an album where the whole is superior to the many fine parts. Coming Home is an effective collection of late-night numbers that should serve as a calling card for a musician and songwriter with talent, style, and the know-how to make a truly memorable album.
