On December 15, 1977, after a hiatus of more than a year, The Who - Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon - assembled at the Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn, North London, to record a concert for Jeff Stein's documentary The Kids Are Alright. Filmed before an invited audience, it turned out to be Keith Moon's penultimate live performance. This concert film, digitally restored and remastered, was never released.
A super-massive black hole seems strangely dormant.
The
NGC 4649 galaxy contains one of the biggest black holes in the local universe,
but shows no obvious signs of rapidly sucking in material or generating large

producing the X-rays has not been disturbed by the growing black hole.

kristinslist.net She is your Virgil on the descent into L.A.. Kristin's List. There are plenty of events guides in Los Angeles, but none has as personal a voice, as finely honed an aesthetic (the Neutra font is an inspired touch) or as discerning an eye as Kristin's. Her weekly emails and web listings are one woman's recommended sampling of the most interesting music, film, architecture, food, fashion, literary and unquantifiable events across the megalopolis. And so far, it's completely ad-free. [MetaFilter]

No '90s band matched the wit and pop appeal of Pulp and their charismatic frontman Jarvis Cocker. After This is Hardcore came out in 1997, Jarvis described it in the press as having almost destroyed his band, life, and sanity, but man, was it worth it. Almost as good as its predecessor, the modern classic Different Class, This is Hardcore and our favorite single off the record, "Party Hard", were Pulp to a "T": lines like "Can you show me a good time?/Do you know what one looks like?" cemented our beliefs that Jarvis is in fact Oscar Wilde reincarnated with a Bryan Ferry fetish.
