...Provided you have an iPod Photo or any newer color-screen model, you can run a slideshow out the S-Video output and onto a TV or projector you bring along. It only works with the iPod in the left-hand dock, however-it can't blend photos from two iPods, the way it blends their sounds...
...With the current museum split between the old clock-tower building and a contemporary wing across the street (the restored telephone exchange is now celebrating its 10th birthday), the plan for Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki 2009 is to seamlessly blend the two. Here audiences will be able to segue from a McCahon to a Moore, a Picasso to a Parekowhai. And if anyone can architecturally blend the old with the new, it's Francis-Jones (whose firm FJMT is overseeing the works with Auckland's Archimedia). In June, his redesign for the Sydney headquarters of the Historic Houses...
...album, Ceasefire, released in Britain this week, is an appeal for peace, rather than money. And although he's now a powerful spokesman for campaigns like Make Poverty History and the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, it was Jal's music - a blend of old and new Africa - that got him on the bill at this summer's Live 8 concert.

The scenes are heart wrenching: the Kurds burst into houses as families gather for breakfast, ordering them at gunpoint onto the street with only the possessions and provisions they can grab in a few seconds. Women wail, and children cling to their mothers' sides, as they...
...suburbs and the American education system, the twenty-something members of Sore have the uniquely Indonesian capacity to sound optimistically world-weary. On their debut album Centralismo, the group has written romantic songs inspired by the old corners of central Jakarta where they hung out as kids. The mellow blend of guitar, piano and strings evokes a retro sound from the late '60s without being derivative. It's an album perfect for those rainy days when all you really want to do is lie back and dream of a simpler time in your life...
