Trademark Recordings is finally releasing Akasa’s Debut album. It’s been a long journey over the mountains of mars, into the blue abyss, and beyond the limits of light. Josh Benedict wrote the music for this album nearly 4 years ago and early last year I came in and recorded Vocals. I know you will all enjoy it. Check out our first single YOMI. This album is very important to us all. Expect shows in Summer here in Los Angeles.

Arthur C. Clarke Interview from Lifeboat Foundation. I believe in infinite possibilities unlike the Wilhelm Reich.

JLC: Do you believe that there is life in the universe?
ACC: I think it is quite common. Probably even Mars had life before!

JLC: But how about really intelligent life?
ACC: Sure, and the proof is that they are not here! The best proof that there’s intelligent life in the universe is that it hasn’t come here.

JLC: When will we make contact with them?
ACC: Well, we are still searching for intelligent life here on Earth. Who knows? Who knows? I mean, it could be tomorrow! I don’t believe it has happened yet because people could not keep quiet about it.

JLC: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of humanity?
ACC: I believe one should be optimistic because there is a chance of a good self-fulfilling prophecy. It is dangerous to be pessimistic because that could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, but a bad one. However, one should avoid being naively optimistic.

JLC: Do you think that time is linear or cyclical?
ACC: Everything that can happen will happen. There are billions of universes proliferating everywhere.

JLC: So, do you believe in parallel universes?
ACC: I don’t “believe”, but it is a possibility since in a practically infinite universe almost anything is theoretically possible to happen somewhere.

JLC: And, some of those parallel universes could have cyclical time?
ACC: Yes, yes. In one of those universes I shoot you now, you see, and we end this interview (laughing out loud).

Very interesting article from the Lifeboat Foundation.

IF civilisation is wiped out on Earth, salvation may come from space. Plans are being drawn up for a “Doomsday ark” on the moon containing the essentials of life and civilisation, to be activated in the event of earth being devastated by a giant asteroid or nuclear war.

Construction of a lunar information bank, discussed at a conference in Strasbourg last month, would provide survivors on Earth with a remote-access toolkit to rebuild the human race.

A basic version of the ark would contain hard discs holding information such as DNA sequences and instructions for metal smelting or planting crops. It would be buried in a vault just under the lunar surface and transmitters would send the data to heavily protected receivers on earth. If no receivers survived, the ark would continue transmitting the information until new ones could be built.

The vault could later be extended to include natural material including microbes, animal embryos and plant seeds and even cultural relics such as surplus items from museum stores.

As a first step to discovering whether living organisms could survive, European Space Agency scientists are hoping to experiment with growing tulips on the moon within the next decade.

According to Bernard Foing, chief scientist at the agency’s research department, the first flowers - tulips or arabidopsis, a plant widely used in research - could be grown in 2012 or 2015.

“Eventually, it will be necessary to have a kind of Noah’s ark there, a diversity of species from the biosphere,” said Foing.

Tulips are ideal because they can be frozen, transported long distances and grown with little nourishment. Combined with algae, an enclosed artificial atmosphere and chemically enhanced lunar soil, they could form the basis of an ecosystem.

Yep, that’s right.

Well I decided to join Shin and Casey shoe shopping in Venice today. My vans are literally falling off of my feet, and I the homeless artist looks is alright, but I'm over it in 2008. Anyways I couldn't find anything in a 12, which is depressing. Nothing. I bought a grey hoodie instead. I still look homeless. I can't fight it, if you can't beat em, join em, be em. Whatever.

“We seldom stop to think that we are still creatures of the sea, able to leave it only because, from birth to death, we wear the water-filled space suits of our skins.”

Arthur C. Clarke

My favorite science fiction writer of all time died today. His name is Arthur C. Clarke. The most famous of his work was “2001: A Space Odyssey” but he also wrote such classics as “Childhood’s End”, “Rendezvous with Rama”, and “Imperial Earth”. There isn’t a whole lot I need to say, but thank you universe for his his great life. Thank you Sir. for providing me with unknown depths of imagination that catered to my artistic spirit as a teenager, and the winds of Rama that carry me to this day. Arthur C. Clarke is legend. He was one of the most intelligent, abstract, and individual thinkers of the 20th century. There wouldn’t be science fiction without the man. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you and Kubrick as well. Thank you for “the romance of space”.

Clarke’s three laws:

1. “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”

2. “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”

3. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

“I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.”

Arthur C. Clarke

“It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him.”

Arthur C. Clarke

“Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn’t come here. Well, it can’t hide forever - one day we will overhear it.”

Arthur C. Clarke

“We stand now at the turning point between two eras. Behind us is a past to which we can never return … The coming of the rocket brought to an end a million years of isolation … the childhood of our race was over and history as we know it began”

“They will have time enough, in those endless aeons, to attempt all things, and to gather all knowledge … no Gods imagined by our minds have ever possessed the powers they will command … But for all that, they may envy us, basking in the bright afterglow of Creation; for we knew the Universe when it was young.”

“Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.”

RIP ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Cause we the champions. Foreal. I'm sick of losers. Only winners in 2008.

Does anyone have a guest pass or tickets to the upcoming "Bryan Singer Swinger Party". I am willing to pay top dollar.

Well, Mammoth is finished. We are on the long road back into hell. Los Angeles. I am exhausted, not sure why. Sorry for all the spelling errors and bad grammer. I'll fix it all once I get to a computer. 275 miles away from reality. It's knocking at my mental doorstep.

God i'm tired. I need sleep, preferebly next to a sweet scented lady.
