Are many of the most talented musicians and artists autistic?
| From : progressivearts.blogspot.com

I am discussing this topic with the utmost of respect for the musicians and artists that I mention.  I am in no way attempting to defame or insult them.  This is merely an observation that I have been formulating over many years now.  Furthermore, I feel that I am qualified to discuss this topic as I am a high functioning autistic.  I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2008.  Late in life, yes, but you know what they say.  Better late than never.

I originally found this movie short about a year ago.  This is a great example of what 100% free open-source software can do.  The folks at the Durian Open Movie Project have some serious talent! Read Full Story

The stills provide excellent imagery for this song. I just wish she hadn't slowed the song down a touch. To me, it's not annoying, but it just wasn't necessary. Read Full Story

This is an awesome cover of King Crimson's Cat Food! Can't understand the vocals? Don't blame it on the Japanese vocalist! The studio version as sung by Greg Lake and subsequent live versions sung by John Wetton are almost as unintelligable. Read Full Story

Basslines - Was Asia Inspired by Simple Minds?
| From : progressivearts.blogspot.com

I tried to get David Gallant (former webmaster of the Official Asia site before the reunion) to hear a similarity in the bass lines between Asia's Cutting It Fine and Simple Minds' Changeling 8 years ago and failed. Gallant also wrote and published a biography of Asia. Well, let's see if you're more perceptive than Gallant in hearing the similarity between these 2 songs. Listen to Cutting It Fine at 1:22. Then, listen to Changeling at 0:17. As for who might have copied who... Read Full Story
Fatties on TV vs Skinnies on TV

When reports such as Fatties on TV regarding Marie Claire Magazine's blog post and Should Women Over 50 Have Long Hair air on NBC news and/or NBC's web site, you have to wonder why they're not spending time on real news. That said, I have some comments about both issues. Re: Fatties on TV Maura Kelly said, ". . . while I think our country's obsession with physical perfection is unhealthy, I also think it's at least equally crazy, albeit in the other direction, to be implicitly promoting...

Who says you can't beat a computer at chess?

Remember this old electronic chess board ? I used to beat it occasionally on some of the mid to upper levels back when I played more often. I also played Chessmaster 2000 back in the 80's and early 90's. The animated chess sets were cool, but I usually lost. Even then, I was far from a pro. I'd never be a match for top notch chess players. However, I could give average or slightly above average players a run for their money! Having not played chess in a very long time, I recently purchased... Read Full Story
