While LP has offered us an array of sound on her last few songs, even venturing into hooking electro pop territory, the talented Los Angeles based singer songwriter makes a return to organic earthiness again on beautiful Lost On You. In fact, the anthem nearly has a spaghetti western dustiness to it that matches her extraordinary voice perfectly. Lost On You was produced by Mike Del Rio, who’s from one of my favorite emerging indie pop acts out of Los Angeles right now, POWERS. It’s hard not to be moved by LP’s powerful voice, and this cinematic piece is a spectacularly rousing gem. I’ve yet to see LP live, and I greatly look forward to witnessing her compelling performance someday. Lost On You will be on LP’s forthcoming album, out in 2016 on Vagrant Records.

This is know as the Shigir Idol

“A mysterious wooden idol found in a Russian peat bog has been dated to 11,000 years ago - and contains a code no one can decipher. 

The Shigir Idol is twice as old as the Pyramids and Stonehenge - and is by far the oldest wooden structure in the world.

Even more mysteriously, it is covered in what experts describe as ‘encrypted code’ - a message from a lost civilisation.

Professor Mikhail Zhilin of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Archeology said: ‘The ornament is covered with nothing but encrypted information. People were passing on knowledge with the help of the Idol.’

Russian experts think that the strange carvings may contain a belief system, the equivalent of the Bible’s Genesis.

The statue had been dated as being 9,500 years old, after its discovery in a peat bog 125 years ago.

But new research in Mannheim, Germany used Accelerated Mass Spectrometry n small fragments of the sculpture, and found it is at least 11,000 years old.

That means the sculpture dates from the very beginning of the Holocene epoch - the era when man rose to dominate the world.’

“If we don’t know what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes” -archaeology

[prokopetz]

And also “if we don’t want to admit what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes”. You’d be amazed at the number of obvious dildos that are floating around in museum collections vaguely labelled as “fertility idols”.

(Note: being nine feet tall, the Shigur Idol is probably not a dildo.)

“probably”

[linguist-breakaribecca]

Someone 11,000 years ago was practicing carving faces and cool stripe designs, then threw the practice log away, and now we’re trying to decipher it.

When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”

Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.

This makes me happy.

Happy creating, everyone
