“Dès que nos instances auront validé le résultat [du] vote, (…) je veux dire à tous très simplement que je serai le premier secrétaire de tous les militants du parti socialiste car aucun militant ne doit manquer au parti” a déclaré Martine Aubry à l’issue du second tour qui la place en tête de l’élection du premier secrétaire du PS avec 42 voix d’avance. (et là j’apprends qu’on ne féminise pas “premier secrétaire” ?)

Los Angeles based indie-jazz/math-rock (though subtly defiant of both terms)band Charts and Maps have released a 4 song EP, titled Enemies of C.Frias. Working with engineer/producer Chris Schlarb (whose solo projects and free-jazz duo I Heart Lung are released through Sufjan Steven's Asthmatic Kitty records), the band have managed to further hone their sound while losing none of the adventurous flair of their previous releases. Characterized by unrestrained song structure, a keen ear for new aesthetic, and an unabashed ability to throw a looping curveball in the form of a key change or time signature switch, Charts and Maps still make music for people who understand music, but have developed upon their ability to blend the aforementioned with catchy and grooving hooks. Their music is intrinsically unclassifiable, roving between genres, tied together by stylistic nuances--categorized by their uncategorizability (yeah, it's a word, apparently), as much as anything else. Instead of losing themselves in heady concept, as many bands with this kind introduction do, Charts and Maps are unequivocally listenable and sonically pleasant. Take a listen for yourself.

After two years, we welcome the return of Part Rocket with their third release 'In Limine', following on from their 'Kneel Before the Throne and Drink the Blood of your Own' EP, also available on Lost Children, and the 'Good Bye Morning Satellite' EP available at www.partrocket.com. Continuing along the leftfield-path-less-trod, Part Rocket's instrumental music takes influence from the tight and rhythmic structures of math rock and incorporates the delicacy, emotion and melody of latter day post-rock overlaying varying ideas and dynamics to produce another unique alternative release.

Recorded in the Summer of 2008, 'ERS-3' is the third EP from the French outfit following both previous releases on Lost Children and again contains quality guitar-driven instrumental post-rock whilst expanding upon the formula with the use of keyboards, electronics and the clarinet. 'ERS-3' is a nice progression from the earlier releases whilst remaining resolutely Stellardrive, this time the instruments are given more space to breath and grow, mixing in their trademark driving riffs with delicate interplay and allowing the less conventional instruments to shine through more reflective moments. This, in addition to the perfect production, makes ERS-3 a stunning EP release.

Hello girls and boys!

Let us give you a taste of what we do in our free time (ie. when not dealing with audio locks and broken accumulators): Below is the beer-carrying robot of Elmar, a robot which is in a development phase, still with no real hands, but already working “ears” and “legs”:

A nice demo video of the robot is here, and guess what would be on the table instead of the Aspire One, if… The first correct guesser gets one free Dock Connector, so that he/she can build a Mic or something better.

      

Oy vey: after shifting more dates than an old lady working in the produce section, it appears that Richard Kelly's thriller The Box has been bumped once more, from next March to next November. Usually, this would be a bad thing, but I'm still seriously intrigued by this adaptation of Richard Matheson's short story, in which a young couple (James Marsden and Cameron Diaz) are given a mysterious box that can make them wealthy, but at the cost of killing a stranger the moment they use it.

The film is completed enough to merit a PG-13 from our pals over at the MPAA (for "thematic elements, some violence and disturbing images"), so it's not post-production woes holding the film up. One suspects this is a much less sprawling film than his Southland Tales, which we'll come back to soon enough. Is it part of WB's strategy to spread out product as the strike catches up to them, as they had by moving Harry Potter from this week to next summer?

Man, if I could just kill a stranger to get some answers...

A giant aquifer, completed in 1944, is leaking up to 36 million gallons of water a day. For New Yorkers, who on average use 150 gallons per day, that's unacceptable. Trouble is, fixing the leak involves some extreme diving, 14 tractor trailer trucks worth of gear, and a 24-foot room that divers will live in for a month, breathing helium./p pThe five-year, $22 million diving project is underway today, and that means six lucky divers are presently 700 feet beneath the NYC surface, trying to find where one of the bigger leaks is hiding. They're living in a 24-foot pressurized tube that includes "showers, a television and a Nerf basketball hoop," and they're breathing air that is 97.5% helium and 2.5% oxygen./p pWhy helium? Well, since these lucky ducks will be in a pressurized environment for an extended period of time, they need to employ what's known as a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_diving""saturation diving."/a Long story short, this technique allows the divers to go 700 feet down, and return to their living quarters without having to worry about repeated decompression sessions. In fact, the only times they have to worry about pressure is when they first step into the tube, and when they exit it a month later./p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/23tunnel.1-500.jpg" width="457" height="500" style="display:block;" /When the divers aren't squeaking at one another in helium-speak, three of them use a diving bell to go 70 stories down, where they do things like strip out 4,000-lb. bronze pipe fittings. Their twelve hour shifts are divided up into four-hour demolition sessions, one per diver, where they each take a turn breaking concrete to get at a malfunctioning valve array. After four hours, the divers "rest" for eight hours in the murky water, before returning the the cylinder./p pWhen they're on break, the divers can have whatever meals they like, although helium tends to dull human taste buds. Tabasco sauce is their best friend, apparently, along with jalapenos and salsa./p p“They lose a lot of weight because they’re burning so many calories,” said Robert Onesti, who is running the water rescue project via Global Diving. “It’s not for everybody. It’s heavy construction work, and it’s deep.”/p pAnd when the month is up, the divers will have another week in the tube to adjust to life without helium in their lungs.
