Spider eats bird

THESE amazing images of a mammoth spider devouring a bird were taken in the backyard of an Atherton property, west of Cairns.

And the images, which are being cirulated via email worldwide, are real, according to wildlife experts.























The photos, believed to have been taken earlier this week, show the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web.

Joel Shakespeare, the head spider keeper at NSW's Australian Reptile Park, told ninemsn that the spider was a Golden Orb Weaver.

In Ear Parkby Department of Eagles

Review by Ian Gittins

Department of Eagles' debut album, 2003's whimsical-yet-sharp The Cold Nose, was a quiet pleasure scarcely noticed outside of a handful of indie-electronica cognoscenti. Five years on, this eclectic follow-up deserves a wider audience.

The band is essentially a side-project of Grizzly Bear singer-songwriter Daniel Rossen, who developed its dreamy songs with cohort Fred Nicolaus. Ear Park was a nickname the pair gave to a park they used to visit in Los Angeles, and the album's mood is a pensive, sepia-tinged nostalgia, suffused with a weary melancholy and shot through with intimations of mortality.

This is a late-night record, spectral yet immediate, possessed of a sparse, urgent grace. Folktronica essays such as "No One Does It" and "Around the Bay" suggest Grandaddy or Band of Horses if their good ole' boy bonhomie were replaced by an alien shimmer. The gently knowing "Teenagers," a sleek-yet-vulnerable pop song, unfolds at some blessed point halfway between Elliott Smith's doomed confessionals and Beck's post-modern trickery, while Nicolaus and Rossen's multi-tracked, keening vocals ache with insatiable, unspecified yearning throughout. Low profile or no, In Ear Park is a triumph.

The album is available at E Music. Here is the Link

Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event

There are songs that from the first time you hear them you know that the song is going to be one of your all time favorites. A few days ago I heard the most amazing song and I want to share it with everyone.

Ryan Auffenberg

Atmosphere can be defined as:
A dominant intellectual or emotional environment or attitude.

There are certain albums that when you listen to them they create a certain atmosphere. Sometimes an album is perfect for a certain atmosphere. The other night I was looking for the perfect album to listen to late at night. I did not want something that would put me to sleep but something that would just feel perfect late at night. I came across the album, Marigolds by Ryan Auffenberg. It is a folk/rock album that is perfect for those times when you want to relax and listen to some really good music. The lyrical content helps create the atmosphere. Late at night listening to the track, Dizzy Spells is an amazing experience. The piano with the violin creates a haunting sound.

The lyrics are beautiful:

"Dizzy Spells"

Hold your breath

The water's cold at first

Most don't swim

Just drink to quench their thirst

Life and love and choosing what they're worth

Streams narrow and rip tides toss and turn

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

When no one knows you

It can feel like you're cursed

By saying so

That spell you might reverse

But when they all love you

And nothing ever hurts

You'll never be

The one that they loved first

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

Though they're just passers by

Their daggers hurt

But until they've jumped in too

What are they worth

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

But don't break down

This is a great album and I highly recommend it.
