 Timothy Leary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leary was also present when Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono recorded Give Peace A Chance during one of their bed-ins in Montreal, and is mentioned in the lyrics of the song.
Also, on Nevermore's self entitled album there is a song named "Timothy Leary".The Psychadelic Trance band Infected Mushroom uses a soundclip of Leary saying "Tune in, turn on, and drop out" in a song.
While the album did poorly in general release, it has become one of the rarest "memorabilia" and prized of possessions of many Leary collections.

 Abstract Dynamics: June 2005 Archives
Yoko Ono created the source code in 1964 and first performed it in Tokyo that year.
Of course Ono's piece still works as a staged focus, the issues it addresses, the relationship of audience and performer, clothing and human, violence and invitation, have shifted little in four decades.
Look at the samples in these albums and you'll find songs built not with just one or two samples, but with four, six, eight, ten samples.

 A history of disco music
Disco albums frequently didn't have many tracks — they had a handful of long songs that kept the beat going.
Due to the rise of the discotheque and the technical innovation of the twelve inch recording, a new genre of music that was explicitly made with the dancefloor in mind, was born.
This music was coined disco, of which there are two flavors and time periods: disco 1.0, which is firmly connected to soul and funk in the first half of the seventies and disco 2.0 in the second half of the seventies, as the incarnation of gay hedonistic club culture.

Futura is, among other things, one of the primary artists producing album covers for the Mo' Wax record label.
By "arts," he meants, for the most part, the avant-garde, from John Cage's silences to William S. Burroughs' virus metaphor, from a brief history of water in sonic culture (Henry Cowell's wet percussion, Lou Harrison's water gong, Kurt Schwitter's use of water dripping in a theater piece) to word scores of Yoko Ono.
The back cover reads "Having recorded more than 60 albums..." and the second sentence of the preface estimates Tangerine Dream as having "released more than seventy albums," so don't take the integrity of the book's data (or, apparently, its copyediting) at face value.

 From the Desert to the Sea…   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In electricity generation, the share for coal (the fuel with the most greenhouse gases) shrinks from about 40 percent to about 25 percent — and much carbon dioxide is captured before going into the atmosphere.
So do “renewables” (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal); their share of global electricity output rises from 2 percent now to about 15 percent.
They would require tough government regulation, continued technological gains and public acceptance of higher fuel prices.
