...great thing about being a musician in an age of digital communications, though, is that local obscurity is no barrier to international recognition. Indonesians don't give them a second look, but a buzz about the band - whose sultry, slow-burning trip-hop invites comparisons with Goldfrapp or Portishead - has gently percolated around the region, thanks to a well-tended MySpace presence, Channel V airplay and the fact that Yohanna mostly sings in English...
...book, Footprint: Our Landscape in Flux, a remarkable exploration of the human impact on Europe's terrain. It's much more than just a catalog of environmental degradation. Franklin, 52, and a Magnum photographer for more than 30 years, found his early inspiration for the series on a 2003 trip through Andalucian farmland; it was there that he saw vast swaths of the countryside covered - and intriguingly altered - by plastic sheets designed to protect against the elements and infestation.

...Atlantic crossing today resonates because of the modern voyage’s juxtaposition with the most famous Atlantic passage: the voyage of African slaves to the “New World.” That trip was a spiritual, emotional, and physical death for many of its passengers, and its goal was to sever Africans’ ties with their former lives and render them vulnerable at the hands of Europeans. Now, the journey could not be more different: it is easy, fast, and completely voluntary. Only several accounts of the Middle Passage from the perspectives of the enslaved exist...
