Piece Of My Heart



Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah! An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ? Honey, you know I did! And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough, But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it if it makes you feel good, Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good, And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right, Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night, Babe, and I cry all the time! But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now. Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby. You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!
Take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Electro Wars

It is unquestionable that the Electro genre has reached a broader American audience in the last two years. I am determined to document the scene and its participants, show the inner workings of the genre and what it will eventually evolve into. The notion to document this genre was conceived in 2008 after reading a blog post with the same title ‘Electro Wars’ featured on the Hipster Runoff. The post was a sarcastic outlook on electro/house artists in the United States and Europe, and their impact on mainstream music here in the United States. I found a substantial concept within the snarky commentary and decided to assemble these “electro soldiers”. It seems that every other day a new remix is popping up on the blogosphere, how does this affect marketing for other independent artists? Do they welcome the remixes or oppose them? Is music overload possible? What will eventually happen when all these budding producers grab a hold of a Pro Tools tutorial and develop their own remixes week in and week out? I also like this one from the Stockholm Film Festival – “In the blogosphere no one can hear you scream. That is the general idea when examining today’s music climate, where drums and synthesizers and bass-lines seem to intertwine in the massive noise of modern society. In recent years electronic dance music has seen a massive circulation in the USA – a medley of different genres and musical influences that is now being framed by young filmmaker Stephen Alex Vasquez. In The Electro Wars he sets out to guide us through the binary jungle called the Internet. Through interviews with some of the greatest artists from the scene, Vasquez shows the vast extent of a music phenomenon in the making. So rich in its diversity yet condensed in its documented form, The Electro Wars goes all-in to draw some kind of a map for the audience to interpret. When finally grasping this potpourri of sounds one cannot help but wonder: How can a director succeed in documenting a culture that is constantly growing, that will reach outside the frame before the cameraman has time to push the record-button?” WATCH HERE WATCH HERE WATCH HERE WATCH HERE WATCH HERE

David Nutt reveals the truth about drugs

David Nutt reveals the truth about drugs This week Science Weekly is dedicated to an extended interview with the scientist and former government drugs adviser Professor David Nutt. Prof Nutt has written a book Drugs – Without the Hot Air: Minimizing the Harms of Legal and Illegal Drugs and has been a vociferous and controversial figure in the debate around the harms and benefits of legal and illegal drugs. He is a psychiatrist and neuropsychopharmacologist who has dedicated his career to deepening understanding of how drugs affect the brain and how they can be used for clinical benefit. In the interview he discusses his proposed research into the potential use of MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and argues that official and societal fear about such drugs is inhibiting the progress of science and the development of beneficial treatments. Prof Nutt came to public attention in 2009 when he was sacked from the government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs after tabloid outrage over a paper he wrote claiming that ecstasy and LSD are less dangerous than alcohol. He discusses why the then Home Secretary Alan Johnson felt compelled to sack him and what the incident says about government policy and the role of scientists in providing evidence-based recommendations. In the wake of the controversy, he set up the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs. Prof Nutt muses on why human history and drugs have been so entwined, and argues that progress on our understanding of the brain can only be achieved by studying mind-altering drugs. via
