"Again" (Video)You know that feeling you get when you fall in love with a new artist or band and want to shout their name from the mountaintops so that everyone on the planet can know about them? Well, for me, that happened when I first heard New Zealand's Electric Wire Hustle last year. Their music brings to mind what we heard in the late '90s and early 2000s from the Soulquarians collective. I'm talking modern hip-hop/R&B; classics like Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun , D'Angelo's Voodoo , and Common's Like Water for Chocolate . Basically, you get ...Prefix Magazine9 July 2011

The Babylonians New Year’s Day was March 23rd which was a logical time because spring begins and crops are planted. We can thank Julius Caesar for the fact that we celebrate the new year on January first. Julius Caesar choose January 1 to honor Janus, the two-faced god who looks backwards into the old year and forward into the new. Still, it was the Babylonians that gives us the idea to make resolutions. They made resolution ...inALLcaps4 January 2010
