Hotel California (Various Artist and Version)Eagles - Hotel California lyricsOn a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitas, rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the nightThere she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bellAnd I was thinking to myself,’this could be heaven or this could be hell’Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the wayThere were voices down the corridor,I thought I heard them say...Welcome to the hotel californiaSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely facePlenty of room at the hotel californiaAny time of year, you can find it hereHer mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bendsShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetSo I called up the captain,’please bring me my wine’He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since ni

[From the recently spit-shined, mahogany editor's desk: This morning, we figured we'd steer clear of commenting on the early demise of the talented Heath Ledger as revelling in the morbid is more the province of the folks over at The Darwin Awards. So, we figured we'd focus on a different Australian-themed story, a 'near death' one in this case.Hip hop is universal and responsible for much of the pop culture we do our best to shield our eyes from on a daily basis, ideally, with a ball cap pulled way down and a hoodie.It's given us, among other things: over-sized duds for fat and non-fat alike, athletic footwear thrown onto overhead wires to mark drug territory (a stern warning against crack dealers bold enough to ply their trade in penny loafers) and seizure inducing ditties. Purists often cite the four pillars that prop up the Temple of Hip Hop, which include DJing (of the type not done at your cousin's Bar Mitzvah when a drunk uncle yells out for 'Hotel California'), emceeing, breaki
First she was a "strong woman" and now Katie Holmes is calling her 1-year-old daughter, Suri, "a beautiful artist."Katie, who had a busy day of interviews yesterday (she appeared on Regis and Kelly and David Letterman to name a few), is no-doubt an incredible mother. But, after seeing her speak about her daughter, you can't help but wonder if this child will ever get the chance to be a real kid.Already a mini-me of her mom, Suri Cruise is being addressed as a strong woman?Does anyone else find that a little creepy?Why is she talking about her 1-year-old daughter as if she's a 30-year-old woman?And what does she mean by she's "a beautiful artist?"I mean, if she was saying it in a jokingly way in reference to a Sesame Street coloring book picture she made I could see it being amusing, but Katie's full message on David Letterman was "She's so sweet and already talking a lot. You can already see she's a wonderful artist."We understand that you're in love with your kid, but at some point yo
Jillian is a highly wanted model and next to her modeling carreer she also sings and has produced a few albums.The following has been taken from her modeling site where she tells everyone a bit over herself :"I am a artist/geek stuck in a models body, and have found pleasure as well as inspiration through being an artist model among other things throughout my life. I have been modeling for most of my life, and am very comfortable in front of the camera. I love creating with others and using my gifts to bring ideas to life." For the complete gallery click here
Pajamas Media - The current level of self-censorship is deeply problematic. “Their eagerness to assume the role of subjugated infidels living under Islamic rule can only demoralize the population and embolden the extremists.”The art that you do not see reflects what everyone already sees. And what we see is the preemptive surrender of public freedoms in the name of appeasing the continent’s restive Muslim underclass.Grayson Perry, a Turner Prize recipient and England’s most famous cross-dressing potter, has been heralded for his controversial explorations of religious imagery, which include a vase entitled “Transvestite Brides of Christ” and a portrayal of the Virgin Mary that is best left to the imagination. Yet apparently there are some boundaries that even groundbreaking artists dare not cross.“I’ve censored myself,” Perry told the Times, admitting that he treads lightly around radical Islam. “The reason I haven’t gone all out attacking Islamism in my art is be

The Painting on the right is called 'Sunrise' by artist Freddie Linsky. It's an acrylic on canvas and wouldn't look out of place in any modern art gallery. Yet the artist is only two years old.Freddie's mother, a lecturer at the Hampstead School of Art and a freelance art critic, began posting Freddie's artwork online to collector, Charles Saatchi's online gallery, passing the work off as that of a more accomplished artist. Making up plausible descriptions such as this for 'Sunrise'..."A bold use of colour. Inspired by the 'plein air' habit of painting by Monet, drawing on the natural world that surrounds us all."You can read more about Freddie and see images of him at work in an article that appeared on the Daily Mail web site titled, Toddler fools the art world into buying his tomato ketchup paintings.Whilst Freddie's Mum admits it was all just for a bit of a laugh, things began to get serious when Freddie's work started to sell and he got offers to exhibit his work in real world gal

Artist Creates HD Metroid Far cooler than any fanfiction or sketch of Samus is this creation from an artist who goes by the name of “Alchemist Defined”. It’s a sort of ‘concept screenshot’ of what a new Metroid game could do with the improved graphics capability of the current generation of game systems if they brought the bounty hunter back to her two-dimensional roots. While there aren’t any official plans on what will be happening next for the franchise after the conclusion of the Metroid Prime trilogy since the developer has moved on to other projects Nintendo might be looking for some other options. This definitely looks like one with lots of potential. Related PostsMetriod 3 at E3? Metroid Prime for the GameCube was considered one of the best FPS games. Ever.

Hotair: I have the clip, although for obvious reasons I’m not going to post it. They even kept the name of the town in which he lives onscreen for most of the segment so I can’t show you the bit with the nut in the burqa saying she wants to kill him. But here’s the strangest part, which isn’t clear from the Gates of Vienna post: Vilks is aware that they’re filming him in front of the two houses. It’s not some stock shot of the door and the light fixture; it’s him, entering the building, with the camera right in his face. Unless CNN led him to believe that they weren’t filming or weren’t going to use the footage, and there’s no reason to think that they did, it was all done with his willing participation. Which, given the bounty placed on his head by Al Qaeda in Iraq and the verdict of Swedish police that he’s not safe at home, makes him one recklessly special idiot.

Loyalist Para-Military's, perhaps unfairly, are more commonly known for there psychopathic rather than artistic tendencies, although Michael Stone of Milltown Cemetery infamy did claim when he attacked Stormont in Nov 2006, that he was merely creating a work of performance art, although that was after he had been apprehended by Stormont security guards. Even so by any standards the recently deceased Sammy Duddy was a one off, for he combined membership of the UDA, one of the north of Ireland's most lethal loyalist paramilitary groups with a career as "Samantha", a saucy and sexual drag artist.In the 1970s he combined his job as a propagandist for the Ulster Defense Association (UDA), the Loyalist Terror group which was responsible for killings hundreds of Catholics, by performing, on his nights off from justifying murder and mayhem, on Belfast's small but intense cabaret circuit, dressed in fishnet stockings, wig and heavy make-up.

We here at TheSharkBook.com, like many of our Canadian compatriots are pretty ambivalent toward the British Royal Family. Sure, most Canadians have a soft spot for Queen Elizabeth, but that has more to do with her being on the currency and how good it feels to find a forgotten 20 in a pair of jeans you just washed. We included only one tale involving royalty in our who's who of drunks, The Shark Book, and that concerned a footman who was adding whiskey to the water bowls of the royal corgis – an offence which, although funny, resulted in his demotion (and terrible canine hangovers during which the corgis wrote some of their best stuff). However, when a story like the following breaks, we get all misty-eyed and almost regret the fact that this colorful family is no longer cracking the colonial whip and sending the degenerate misfits among their nobility to oversee our affairs. Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne (the one the kings sit on, not where you can be found the

Someone at Helium must like me because today they featured another of my articles, Reflections on the Starving Artist on their home page.The article, which is currently rated number 1 out of 17 articles, looks at the challenges faced by emerging artists in relation to income and why the phrase 'starving artist' is still very relevant in todays society both literally and as a metaphor. There are many barriers to a successful career in the Arts and it is these barriers that can have a detrimental effect on both the artist and their ability to earn a living.This is the second time Helium has featured my work on their home page and twice in one month no less! Previously An introduction to Video Blogging earned its day in the sun and even featured higher up on the page.Now if I could only get featured on YouTube's home page I'd be really happy.

Later this year, the Dallas Museum of Art is hosting Phil Collins: the world won’t listen, a video installation where Phil Collins invites Smiths fans around the world to contribute karaoke renditions of Smiths songs.We can't make up our mind, though, if Rolling Stone really believes that the drummer from Genesis and the 2006 Turner-shortlisted artist are the same Phil Collins, or if it's just a joke. We fear they might be being serious, though.

Barnseyfla. Genre - New AgeI was born in Buffalo, NY on April 19, 1961. My immediate family was always very creative through either music or art. My Grandmother played Piano at various movie houses for the silent films in the 20's and 30’s. My Father and Mother were musically and artistically inclined respectively.I have been playing the Piano since the age of 3 and was always a terror to my piano teachers, never wanting to play the lesson but always wanting to feel the music instead and play what was inside my head. When I was 12, my mother finally signed my sister and myself up for Guitar lessons. Although I had no interest in playing the guitar and did not feel this would be of any benefit, the instructor worked with us for 6 months. He was teaching us guitar chords, my sister the guitar and for me, the relationship of the guitar and their chords to the piano. It was great and I credit him with helping me to understand how to play out my emotions and feelings.I guess I
