Kitty the Lion - Split Ends
A short and sweet little number from this feline folkster. Anna Meldrum has a knack of creating catchy, upbeat little songs not unlike the hugely successful songstress of Juno fame: Kimya Dawson.
Mogwai - I’m Jim Morrison, I’m Dead
From the live film “Burning”, out in August 2010.
“The Scottish band Mogwai performs an incandescent show in front of a stunned crowd. As if time stood still, the audience is transported along by musical waves, both poetic and violent. ‘Burning’ dives into this wild sensual flow. Directors Vincent Moon and Nathanaël Le Scouarnec guide us into a dream where there is no tomorrow. This is a black and white experience of the senses carved by the raw emotion of this pioneering band that doesn’t need any words to touch the heart of its listeners. Layered and innovative, the movie has its finger firmly on their pulse, a sonic adventure between hope and rebellion. A lifetime of feelings in just one night.”

![Christ of Saint John of the Cross, Salvador Dalí, 1951
“The painting and intellectual property rights were acquired by Glasgow Corporation in the early 1950s for £8,200, a price considered high at the time. In 1961, the canvas was damaged by a visitor to the museum (using a brick) because he objected that the viewpoint of the artist was looking down [at Jesus] rather than up on the subject. It has since been successfully restored. In 1993, the painting was moved to the city’s St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, but returned to Kelvingrove for its reopening in July 2006. It won a poll to decide Scotland’s favourite painting in 2006, with 29% of the vote.” - Wikipedia](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7nsrhEzVl1qb59tko1_500.jpg)
