Mozart + Mono, Chopin + Clann Zu, Dvorak + Do Make Say Think, Grieg + Godspeed You! Black Emperor = Moya Moya is a one-man musical project. It started in spring 2005 in Belarus by 19-years Vasil Maronau. Moya's music is changing and will be changing. 'Die Hard' is the second release from Moya on Lost Children and includes the video for the song 'Die Hard' and was directed by Denis Markin, featuring actor Eugenii Peschyr.

Volume VII gathers fifteen artists from around the world to bring youwhat we believe is our most exciting compilation yet. Unlike previous eorts, our winter compilation focuses almost entirely on solo projects and musical duos, primarily pulling from the digital realm of experimentation. Free from compromise, these artists are capable of embracing every last whim, and this spontaneity and energy is readily on display. We hope our readers enjoy these musicians as much as we do. We graciously thank all artists and labels who made this compilation possible. Hopefully all who find this venture worthwhile will look into supporting these artists in whichever way possible. It is our support which enables them to continue creating music they that, and we, love.

Last week it became clear that Woolworths itself was worth only pocket money, with management in talks to sell the 800-store chain for pound;1./ppThe collapse of Woolworths would be by far the largest retail failure this year, symbolising the high street's woes./ppAt the branch in Muswell Hill, north London, yesterday morning, the perspex lids on the pic 'n' mix - strawberry cables, jelly snakes, jazzies - remained firmly closed./ppNone of the shops in this affluent suburb is bustling - the estate agents are empty and even the swish boutiques have 'Sale' signs in their windows alongside the posh frocks. But Woolworths has a special air of desolation. Packed aisles of Christmas toys and gifts are on special offer, three for the price of two./pp'I quite like Woolies, but basically it's all just a bit crap isn't it?' says one browser, Steve, as he leaves empty-handed. A woman is buying plastic coathangers; another is discussing Advent calendars with a member of staff; and a boy is briefly mesmerised by a musical Santa which dances and plays the saxophone, before his mother drags him away. At the till, two young women lean with their chins in their hands, chatting to the security guard./ppIt wasn't always like this: Woolies once had a shop on every British high street and a special place in the hearts of millions of bargain-hungry shoppers. It was famous for selling anything from sixpenny toys to brown paper and string./ppMusic-hall artist Stanley Holloway used to recite the monologue 'Albert and the Lion', in which the eponymous hero came to a sticky end. Albert brandished '... a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle/The finest that Woolworths could sell'./ppBut today, there are plenty of rivals also piling it high and selling it cheap. In the Muswell Hill branch, almost everything - from Christmas gift packs of Lynx aftershave to Paul O'Grady's autobiography - seems to be reduced. The Tannoy is blasting out 'The Little Drummer Boy' and other festive tunes, punctuated by announcements about a 20 per cent off deal with the slogan 'Woolworths: Let's Have Some Fun!'/ppWoolworths boss Steve Johnson should be visiting his stores today, making sure they are well stocked with Star Wars Clone Trooper helmets and Barbie dolls for this critical time of year./ppBut instead Johnson, who joined the business three months ago pledging to revive it, is fighting to pull Woolworths back from the abyss. With sales so poor that the company is at risk of breaching the conditions on its loans, the board believes that offloading the retail division is the best solution./ppWoolworths is willing to sacrifice the eponymous chain so that its more successful ventures - EUK, which supplies CDs and books to supermarkets, and 2Entertain, a joint venture with the BBC making shows such as Top Gear - can thrive. Management is trying to broker a complex deal by which the retailer might enter administration without dragging its sister companies down with it./ppRestructuring firm Hilco offered to take over the business for pound;1 in return for shouldering nearly pound;270m of Woolworths debt. But the retailer's banks, which include American lender GMAC and Burdale, part of Bank of Ireland, rejected the Hilco plan late last week./ppThe banks are owed almost pound;400m and would be first in line to get their money back if the group collapsed. Unlike suppliers, banks are secured creditors, so have first claim on funds raised by administrators in the sale or break-up of a collapsed business./pp'If this business falls over in a controlled way, a big chunk of the staff will keep their jobs,' said one source close to the talks. 'If the collapse is uncontrolled, everyone risks losing their jobs.'/ppThis weekend's quest is for a deal that the banks will accept. Hilco specialies in distressed businesses, often using what is called a 'pre-pack administration', an insolvency procedure that enables it to shed stores it does not want or cut new rental deals with landlords. /ppWoolworths has tried to reinvent itself many times, most recently as a rival to Argos, launching an internet arm, The Big Red Book - but the results have been poor, with the group making a pound;90.8m loss in the first six months of the year./pp'Woolworths has been ailing for years because it is a jack-of-all-trades and master of none,' says Retail Knowledge Bank analyst Robert Clark. 'It has lots of loyal customers it has failed to exploit over the years due to serial management failure. The irony is that if Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown announce measures to stimulate spending among the lower socio-economic groups on Monday, Woolworths would be a natural place for them to shop.'/ppBack in Muswell Hill, another shopper, Rob, is emerging with a Woolworths carrier bag. He has bought a birthday card and a copy of the Radio Times. 'I go in there very, very seldom,' he says and expresses little sorrow at the possible disappearance of such a venerable retail institution. 'It's a rubbish shop, really: it's the same as WH Smith. They've had their day.'/ph2Five cents to 1.43p/h2p· Frank Woolworth opened his first store, in Utica, New York State, in 1879 with the gimmick that everything was priced at five cents. It failed because it was too far out of the town centre, but a second shop in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, became a roaring success. He soon varied the formula, selling some goods at 10 cents, and the famous 'five-and-dime' store was born./pp· Woolworth visited England in 1890 and wrote in his diary: 'A good penny and sixpence store, run by a live Yankee, would be a sensation here.' The first store was opened on Church Street, Liverpool, in 1909 and the British offshoot became more successful than its American parent./pp· Sweets sold by weight - later called the 'pic 'n' mix' - were a key part of Woolworth's formula. When the Liverpool branch opened, the entire stock of sweets sold out on the first day. /pp· By the 1930s, Woolworth was opening a store every fortnight in Britain. When the Second World War broke out, it had 759 branches./pp· Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton - Frank's granddaughter, pictured at her wedding to film star Cary Grant - was known as the 'poor little rich girl'. By the time she died in 1979, Hutton had run through seven husbands and most of her $500m inheritance./pp· Shares in Woolworth's group, now renamed Kingfisher, were worth just 1.43p on Friday./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/woolworths"Woolworths/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/retail"Retail industry/a/li/ul/divdiv class="guRssAdvert"a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/richmedia=yessite=Businesscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227399527246112300260553996"img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/richmedia=yessite=Businesscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227399527246112300260553996" border="0" //a/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a

Tracy Letts likes to borrow the quote, and it is easy to see why. Letts is the author of August: Osage County, an epic tragicomedy about family that has taken America by storm. His new play is the feted youngest member of American drama's extended, dysfunctional family - a natural heir (or, perhaps, wayward stepchild) to Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee and Eugene O'Neill. Steppenwolf's production first triumphed in its Chicago hometown, and then on Broadway (where serious work is often drowned out by the sound of musicals), and went on to capture the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, five Tony awards and the nation's imagination. Rachel Weisz described seeing it as one of her 'top 10 nights in the theatre ever'. Tracey Ullman told Deanna Dunagan, the actress who plays Violet - the bitter, addicted matriarch at the centre of the family web - that she recognised her own mother in Dunagan's performance. And Patrick Stewart paid the cast the awkward compliment of leaving after the first act because he found it too close to home (he promises to return). A film adaptation - with the Weinstein company - is now planned. But it is not just celebrities that are hooked. Family as a subject speaks to everyone - especially when pain and laughter collide./ppThis week the show opens at the National Theatre in London. And it seems incredible that Steppenwolf have not been seen in the capital since their stunning, sell-out adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath in 1989. The Chicago company first flared into life in the mid-Seventies. Its founders helped themselves - rather cheekily - to the title of Hermann Hesse's novel (even though no one had actually read Steppenwolf). But the name appealed: it sounded arresting, original, bold - and Steppenwolf was all these things. The founders were three boys barely out of school: Gary Sinise, Jeff Perry and Terry Kinney. They had energy, nerve and style. And the company, although peripatetic for years, became renowned for its risk-taking and up-front ferocity. This was where John Malkovich, John Mahoney and Joan Allen started their careers -and many other Steppenwolf stars have blown from the windy city to New York and Hollywood. Yet the company has always commanded loyalty and first-rate actors who wanted to stay on. Their return to London is an event in itself. /ppBefore meeting the cast, I rang Tracy Letts in Chicago to ask about the family tree that inspired his play. Letts is 43 and has been an actor and Steppenwolf member since 2002. He is the author of several smaller-scale pieces (including Killer Joe and Bug - defined by one critic as 'trailer park noir'). Letts told me about the suicide of his maternal grandfather - a labourer who drowned in a lake. It's a story that has haunted Letts all his life. 'His death has always been a mystery and not one I remotely solve.' Instead, his grandfather's suicide exists in the play as the question from which everything else follows. His wife, Violet, is based on Letts's grandmother who became an addict after her husband's death. (Letts himself, more than a decade ago, battled with alcohol and drug addiction.)/ppHe grew up in Oklahoma and does not regard his own family as having been unhappy. His mother, Billie, is a novelist; his father, Dennis, was a literature professor. And it is his relationship with his father that is key to understanding him and the production. Steppenwolf boldly cast Tracy's father (who had, extraordinarily enough, taken on a second career as an actor) in the role of grandfather. He played in Chicago to great acclaim before briefly transferring to Broadway. But in November 2007 he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He left the show in January, died in February. He was 73. Dennis had believed absolutely in his son's play but never lived to see its laurels. For Tracy, this was devastating. The overlap between what was happening on stage and the drama of losing his father was 'the most emotionally powerful thing of my life'. On the night of the Pulitzer ceremony, he could not feel conventionally celebratory. Instead he was overtaken by a rage he could neither subdue nor explain. 'It was complicated. As my shrink said: we're not wind-up dolls. I could not access the feelings I was supposed to feel.'/ppLetts has a highly developed emotional intelligence. In particular - and it is what makes his play powerful - he understands the force of what is not being said. It is difficult to feel to order - expecting an emotion may make it take flight. He expected his mother to be upset by his portrait of her mother - and she was. But he could never have predicted her verdict: 'You have been very kind to her,' she said. His mother seems to have a way of finding the right thing to say. Apparently - I gathered later from a cast member - she offered her son, after his father's death, the thought that for Dennis, his involvement in the play was 'the cherry on top of the sundae'. She told Tracy: 'Your Dad could not have picked a better last chapter.'/ph2The cast of characters/h2pI met the actors on their first day in London - jet-lagged but buoyant. I had decided to pick half a dozen key family members (the cast is 13-strong) and ask each of them to begin by talking in character, to make it possible not only to ask personal questions but to reveal exactly how dysfunctional this American family is. The poky interview room at the National came perfectly equipped - with a couch./ppstrongJeff Perry/strong/ppActor, teacher, co-founder of Steppenwolf. He plays Bill Fordham, a married professor in his fifties having an affair with a student half his age. Perry is delightful yet distrait, with a way of holding one hand up like a traffic policeman, hoping to halt or redirect his thoughts./pp'I am Bill Fordham. When challenged, I defend myself with verbal analysis. My marriage is in dire trouble. I am on the second half of the mortal merry-go-round. My wife does not understand, accept or particularly like my hard-wiring. I look forward to hitting the refresh button in my new relationship.' This makes unpleasant listening because Perry's Bill entirely lacks remorse. I banish him, with relief, in order to ask Perry about the company he co-founded in 1976. He is thrilled, he says, that Steppenwolf now has, in Letts, a writer of international stature. And he explains that Steppenwolf has always been defined by its ensemble work: 'We made a religion of communication between ourselves as actors. That has been the unchanging way in which we have measured our success and failure.'/ppstrongAmy Morton/strong/ppActor, director and Steppenwolf member since 1997. She has been in many of the company's productions, including One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Morton plays Bill's estranged wife. She is an angular beauty and in every way sympathetic but, in character, talks with injured defiance./pp'I am Barbara Fordham. I am 47. My qualities are my sense of humour. Loyalty. Passion. Yes - passion. It goes into my anger. My marriage is challenging but I am not to blame. I am not the one who left for someone younger. Bill won't talk to me. I am more than willing to talk to him. My daughter's drug problem? You'll have to talk to her father about it.'/ppWhat has it been like to play Barbara? 'There are days when you'd rather peel the skin off your face than go on stage,' Morton says. After a recent rehearsal: 'I went home in an edgy, foul humour and realised: "Oh, right, it's her." She is very frustrated, angry and sad. The older you get as an actor, the less you bring it home, but if you do a role for more than a year, it's going to take its psychic toll.' She admits: 'I feel this character in my bones.'/ppstrongMolly Ranson/strong /ppMaking her professional debut. She plays troubled, 14-year-old, dope-smoking Jean - Bill and Barbara's daughter. Ranson, unlike her character, is full of shining optimism. /pp'I have just found out Dad is sleeping with one of his students. Recently, Mum hasn't been there for me, nor has Dad. It all happened suddenly: we were happy, then my grandfather went missing. When did I start smoking pot? During 8th grade.' /ppJean represents family history - the addictive gene - repeating itself. Her 'inability to face reality,' Ranson suggests, is 'representative of many Americans'. She likens the play to 'watching a car accident. You feel you shouldn't be there but you can't look away.' The humour is 'real, terrifying and dark'./ppstrongDeanna Dunagan/strong/ppWon a Tony award, among others, for her performance as Violet Weston. Has been in eight Steppenwolf productions. Dunagan is poised, eloquent and diffident. In character, she is unnervingly deluded, unable to face up to being an addict. And she reminds us how often family is about front./pp'I am Violet. I am 67. I have to take many pills - but I don't agree that I have a problem. I have a bad back and knees. I am a survivor. I have been a good mother. I love my girls. Barbara left - she just left. In my day, families stayed together. Barbara is quite smart. Ivy, my daughter who stayed at home, could find a good husband. Karen - has gone away. Regrets? I wish I had been able to make a mark in the world. But my girls are good people and that is an achievement.'/ppDunagan believes that audiences want to 'find the key to how to live in a family. There will always be problems. Even if you love each other deeply. You'll be hurt. It's inevitable. Everyone comes to the theatre hungry to see another family's pain.'/ppstrongRondi Reed/strong/ppMember of Steppenwolf since 1979. Has appeared in more than 60 company productions. She won a Tony as Mattie Fae. Reed is ebullient, warm, with a jesting energy. /pp'I am Mattie Fae, Violet's sister. I am 57. I am gregarious and sexy for my age. I am a goer, a doer, an organiser. I am well provided for by my husband in the upholstery business and I'm upholstered in every sense - always fighting my weight. I have a wonderful sense of humour. But my son is a trial to me. My sister is having big problems. Do I have faults? I like too many sweet things. I probably give people too many chances.' /ppReed laughs, exclaiming at how similar she and Mattie Fae are. That's not surprising: the part was written for her./ppstrongKimberly Guerrero/strong/ppPlays the Native American servant. She grew up near Pawhuska, Oklahoma, where the play is set. TV appearances include The Sopranos. Guerrero has an uplifting spirit and pride in her role./pp'I am Johnna. Some people think Native Americans no longer exist, or that we are inarticulate. My role is to embrace the compassion and wisdom of my culture. Native Americans see death as not so far from the beauty of birth - as its photo-negative. We don't look at life as linear, we see it as a circle.' /ppLetts has described his play as a 'political parable' - a portrait of America. It is no coincidence, as Amy Morton points out, that the play begins (and ends) with a Native American. Morton believes the play reflects the 'mess of the American story and the beauty of it'. Rondi Reed sees the play as being about addiction and a 'toxicity that has pervaded the American psyche'. As a cast of Democrats, they all felt that if John McCain had won the US presidential election, the play would have had a 'sadder reception'. But, as Deanna Dunagan asserts: 'Since Obama has been elected, everything has changed. We were all so embarrassed, depressed, fearful and disgusted with what was happening in our country. Now there is hope. It is astonishing what one day can do in the life of a nation.' And it changes the way they feel about coming to London. Rondi explains: 'It makes us come here with our heads held high, as opposed to slinking through the back door.'/pp· August: Osage County opens on Wednesday at the National Theatre, London SE1/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/theatre"Theatre/a/li/ul/divdiv class="guRssAdvert"a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/richmedia=yessite=Theatrecountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227399527381112300260553996"img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/richmedia=yessite=Theatrecountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227399527381112300260553996" border="0" //a/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a

Enlightened False Consciousness is French Teen Idol's second release, following the 2005 self-titled debut album. Melancholic piano patterns, dreamy atmospheres, vocal samples and striking instrumental crescendos, some of the ingredients of French Teen Idol's debut album, are sill there, enriched by the continuous search for new musical solutions, including a more classical song-structure approach in some tracks. Athens-based band GardenBox and Roman artist Patrizio Piastra collaborated with French Teen Idol on track #2, The Longest Night. Other collaborations include Fabrizio Lagani (track #3) and Olalla Rey Fernandez (track #5).

Les amis de mes amis sont mes amis...

Donc dans la rubrique "coup de coeur", un groupe musical.
"The Starliners" va faire sa première télé demain. Et pas chez n'importe qui, chez Michel Drucker, qui a généralement le nez creux pour lancer des "stars" ( c'est lui qui a présenté Céline Dion en France alors qu'elle n'était qu'une enfant ! ). Les jeunes hommes issus de Arles chanteront un extrait de leur premier album," la relève", dans "Vivement Dimanche" diffusé dimanche de 14h à 14h30. De 13h à 15h, ils seront également en tchat sur Yahoo Live, un bon moyen de "rencontrer" les fans.

La noche del cazador (the night of the hunter, 1955), obra maestra dirigida por el actor Charles Laughton y protagonizada por Robert Mitchum. Más allá de su mensaje moral, destaca su fantástica fotografía, con un rico juego de luces y sombras. Y, por supuesto, su apartado musical, que inquieta y tranquiliza a partes iguales.

When the Holy Spirit moves in significant ways, He doesn't usually specialize. One of the most striking features of reformations is how many things get addressed in them. In the great Reformation of the 16th century, doctrinal issues were on the table, as everyone knows, but it was also a liturgical reformation, a musical revolution, a time of political upheaval, an era of technological gee-whizzery, and an explosion of mercy ministries.

Our English word mercy is a translation of multiple words both in Hebrew and Greek, and so in a detailed study there are a number of nuances to consider and remember. At the center, however, there are two main emphases represented by this word. In Hebrew, the word hesed refers to love, loyalty, faithful, loving-kindness, and mercy, all in the context of relationship. Mercy also refers to kindness extended in situations where that kindness had been forfeited by the recipient of it. The clearest example of this is the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant (the word here is kapporeth). In this latter sense, mercy is extended in the form of forgiveness, but in order for that to happen, violence was necessary. The mercy seat was sprinkled with blood, and without the violence of that bloodshed, there could be no mercy, no forgiveness (Heb. 9:22). No blood, no mercy.

These two emphases can be distinguished, but not really separated. Mercy can and should be extended where the recipient of the mercy is in his plight through no fault of his own (John 9:2). At the same time, this simply means that he had done nothing in particular to deserve his misfortune. He, like the rest of us, had come to live in a screwed up world that got this way through overt rebellion against God. In other words -- sin is always the culprit at some level. Mercy ministries are not necessary among the elect angels in heaven. There are no soup kitchens in the resurrection. Because sin is the culprit, mercy ministries can never stray too far from the mercy seat, and when they do stray, pleas for mercy always morph into demands for justice, which is always a perilous line of argument for sinners to take.

In order to consider the foundations of mercy, we will have to evaluate a number of things in turn -- the character of God Himself, the relation of justice to mercy, the relation of violence to mercy, the claims of pseudo-mercy, the conditions under which the God of all mercy is merciless, and more. And that, Lord willing, is what we shall do in this series.

Vous n'êtes tout de même pas naïf au point de penser que la musique coule de source dans votre baladeur MP3 comme de l'eau? Moi non plus, mais cela n'a pas empêché des designers imaginatifs (disons plutôt torturés) d'imaginer un concept laborieusement dérivé de cette analogie: Le concept de flux musical ...

As you can see, you turn the faucet knob to initiate the musical stream, which "flows" into the headphones connected to the spigot. With me so far? OK, so the headphone cable is a garden hose, of sorts, and it uses a capacitive sensor to detect pinching: If you pinch the hose, the watery music momentarily ceases to flow!
