Genesis

Justice is one of the best emerging electronic bands, period. Their Cross album is one of those few albums that is actually worth listening to from beginning to end.

Wiki-


Justice is a French electronic music duo consisting of Gaspard Augé (born 21 May 1979 in Besançon) and Xavier de Rosnay (born 2 July 1982).[2] The duo is one of the most successful groups on Ed Banger Records[3] and is managed by the label's head, Pedro Winter. Justice is known for incorporating a strong rock and indie influence into their music and image.[3][4]
Their debut album  was released in June 2007 to critical acclaim.[5][6] The album was later nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" and came in at number 15 on Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2007[7] and number 18 on Blender's "25 Best Albums of 2007" list.[8] It was nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Prize, losing out to The Reminder by Feist. Their remix of the MGMT song "Electric Feel" won the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical in 2009.[9]
In June 2009, it was announced that Justice would be moving to WMG/Atlantic's newly relaunched Elektra Records label, and plans to release a new album in early 2010.


Best driving song ever....

Photoshop fuck ups

Photoshop is a great tool for fine-tuning a picture exactly that way you want it, doesn't mean you can't also butcher a picture in the process.


Loads of water

Nasa scientists have found millions of tons of water on one of Saturn's moons. This is big news as it changes our outlook on what parts of the universe water can exist, it also changes our outlook on where life can exist. That old theory that earth is in the "perfect" position and if it was further away or closer it would burn up or freeze is starting to look bogus. Theres a lot we seem to be wrong about with space. 

New Tomb Raider



Crystal Dynamics have announced a new entry in the Tomb Raider series, except this time they are dropping the "Tomb Raider" name entirely. The developers say the game will be available for download on both the Playstation Network and Xbox Live. I think it's about time they tried a new direction with these games, the last few have been dull, which is a shame because of the original(back in the 90's) changed the industry. "Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light" will be released sometime this year, hopefully it makes up for the last few...



Plastic Alternative in the making.

Japanese scientists have found a healthier and more practical alternative to plastic, it's elastic water. Here's more information courtesy of tom's guide




"Japanese scientists have created “elastic water.” Developed at the Tokyo University, the new material consists mostly of water — 95-percent — with an added two grams of clay and organic material. The resulting substance resembles jelly, but is extremely elastic and transparent.
The invention was originally revealed last week in the latest issue of the Nature scientific magazine. According to the article, the new material is quite safe for the environment and humans, and may be a “long-term” tool in medical technology, possibly to help wounded or surgically cut tissue to remain closed.''
Plastic is bullshit for our bodies, plain and simple. This could be huge news, it would change our eating, and our health. Elastic water....

KIck Shit

Rodeny Mullen, what to say about this man. He is a fuckin genius when it comes to skating, from a young age he has made a name for himself one of the most respected in the sport. He is credited for practically inventing street style skating when back in the day a lot of skate-boarding was done vert. Epic song, wicked video. I remember seeing this as a kid and not being able to get my mind around how he actually invented this stuff, does the impossible.
