Pic of the day: The hornet

Just happened to be a hornet that gave me some nice looks. Unfortunately it was dead already. Flew into a light and got burned. I made some tries with my camera and some changing colour filters on my torch. So it comes in white, green and red.

Album of the week: The Airborne Toxic Event

My album of the week:

The album was already released in 2009 but was not perceived the way it should have been.

It’s full of indierock pearls, beginning with “Wishing Well”, a song with kicking bass drum and an euphoric refrain.

"WISHING WELL"

“Gasoline” is the song that makes you dance, yeah even you, the guy that always stands at the bar. It’s an earwig, if you know what that is.

"GASOLINE"

“Sometime Around Midnight”? Just get the album and hear for yourself…

"SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT"

In 2011 T.A.T.E. released their second album “All At Once”. Heard it tends to be better than the first one. Difficult…:-)

So finally my suggestion: seek, listen and get, dance and enjoy.

Pic of the day: The Snail

Slug is a common name that is normally applied to any gastropod mollusc that lacks a shell, has a very reduced shell, or has a small internal shell. (This is in contrast to the common name snail, applied to gastropods that have a coiled shell large enough that the soft parts of the animal can retract fully into it.)
Slugs belong to several different lineages that also include snails with shells. The shell-less condition has arisen many times independently during the evolutionary past, and thus the category "slug" is emphatically a polyphyletic one. The various groups of land slugs are not each others closest relatives, despite a superficial similarity in the overall body form.

See your research center wikipedia. :-)

I think this snail (sorry slug) is a beautiful animal. And it survived this crossing of the street. Slime forever. ;-)
