Farrell said he hopes to document around 17,000 species in total, including 10,000 species of insects and 6,000 plants—as part of an ecological study he is conducting with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh and the Smithsonian Museum...
Beck’s last album, Midnite Vultures, an ironic trumpet-blaring parade of sex-funk and Prince send ups, wasn’t just another surprise milestone for America’s greatest sonic scientist—it was a worthy document of late 90s exuberance.
