Dear List,
It's funny that the Man Ray CD should come up. Just to clarify: it's not a
tribute to the artist Man Ray, it's a compilation by the DJs of the very
trendy Paris restaurant of the same name. Though the restaurant is named
after the dadaist artist Man Ray.
I work at the Man Ray NY restaurant, which opened last summer as a
'sister' to the Paris one. I will be compiling a CD for them and if you
make music that you think may fit the vibe I ask that you get in touch
with me... I'm looking for unreleased, underground material from the world
over, with some or more of the following vibes:
jazz, eastern, african, latin, dub, balanced, pure, soulful, funky, honest
if your beats are tight, or you know of someone in your part of the world
please get in touch!
peace,

>November's Leonid Shower: One for the record books
>Posted 10/31/2001 - 12:45PM, by hanser
>According to Wired News, The United States is in for the most
>spectacular meteor shower since 1966. Peter Jenniskens, a research
>scientist at the NASA/Ames Research Center declared that the
>November 18 shower will be "very impressive, rare and something that
>you'll want to see."
>
>"The August Perseids meteor shower, which normally gets the most
>annual astronomer attention, records a rate of about 80 meteors an
>hour, but this November's Leonids will record a rate over 2000,"
>Jenniskens said.
>Nature itself will be cooperating, weather providing: the shower
>falls during the period of the New Moon, when the sky is darkest.
>Ordinarily, the Leonid shower yields between ten and fifteen meteors
>per hour. This year's shower is expected to yield a whopping 4,200
>meteors every hour.
>The best viewing time is estimated to be between 4 and 6am EST on
>November 18. No binoculars or telescopes are necessary, but being
>away from the city lights is recommended. For the very best viewing
>spots, check out the Leonid Flux Estimator. The show is expected to
>last two hours.
