DJ Mixes Records On Gramophones
10/28/09 - Odd Articles
“A disc jockey with a difference is taking the music world by storm – using two 1930s wind-up gramophones. Dave Guttridge, 48, is the UK’s only pre-vinyl disc jockey and uses two 70-year-old Picnic gramophones to pump out ‘old skool’ tunes – including old favorite The Teddy Bear’s Picnic – using Shellac 78 records. Known as DJ78, he owns 3,500 of the fragile records and blasts out everything from 1920’s rag time, jazz and blues, to Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Cliff Richard and Elvis. The brittle Shellac records, which are made from the shell of the Shellac beetle, went out of production in 1961 but have fascinated Dave for the last 20 years. They are nicknamed 78s because they spin on the gramophone at 78 revolutions per minute. They are becoming increasingly rare and can only be found in charity shops.” w/ photos
Sperm Whale Eats Giant Squid
10/28/09 - Amazing
“They are creatures of the deep immortalized in fictional bestsellers like Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick and Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. But these ultra-rare images of a colossal sperm whale feeding on a giant squid are the real thing. The captivating pictures show adult sperm whales feasting on a rare giant squid. Though the squid looks small beside the enormous whales, it is thought to be an incredible eight to ten metres long. One of the dead squid’s tentacles – a leftover scrap – was measured at a jaw-dropping three-and-a-half metres long. And experts now think the pictures could be some of the rarest ever captured beneath the ocean’s surface, showing as they do the sight of five adults teaching a hungry calf how to catch its prey.” w/ photos
