Mystery creature found in 'forbidden cloud forest' of Peru is new species of marsupial The newly described mouse opossum was discovered at a surprisingly high altitude in the Andes.

This teeny marsupial is a newly described species named for the Chachapoya, who lived in the Peruvian Andes before the Inca. πŸ§ͺ

On the cynical undercurrents to Dolly covering the CCM classic "He's Alive":
"There are few vows of poverty in American Christianity."

A fascinating dissection of how Dolly has used authenticity, and "authenticity," throughout her career.

Steacy Easton, everybody.

On "Will the Circle Be Unbroken":
"The thing about an unbroken circle is that some people are always in it and some people are always out of it."

On "Wait 'Til I Get You Home":
"The song is doubly horny, conceptually committed to the horn."

50 years ago (10 Sept 1975), one of my all-time fave groups recorded their first album, "Air Song," at P.S. Studios in Chicago. Released later that year by the Japanese label Whynot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kwv...

Josey Scott revealed the meaning of the album's title in an interview with Therese McKeon from the website Shoutweb:[8]

Everything we do is for a reason and I felt like this was an opportunity to do what we wanted to do right down to the album cover and the album title. It was another opportunity to be creative and invoke thought. We thought the title "Every Six Seconds" said a lot about the world today and where our society is pretty much sitting. I got it from a news documentary I was watching that was talking about robbery and car theft and murder and other subjects. It finally got around to sex of course and they said that men think about sex every six seconds. I thought that was really interesting and it kind of stuck in my mind. I think it says it all for me and for the record. It's dealing with everything from the healing condition to anger and love and sex and spiritually and the disillusionment with society. I think the title is befitting.[8]

Two of the songs on Every Six Seconds were re-recordings which originally appeared on Saliva's self-titled debut album,

"I think the title is befitting" is perfect, no notes, but the whole quote really lays out Saliva's whole deal
