He was there at the cockcrow of the '90s when drum'n'bass was unruffled hard-core techno, honing his talents as a DJ. Then, in 1992, just as drum'n'bass was beginning to blossom, he formed Ram Records with Ant Miles. The judge quickly became unrivalled of drum'n'bass' driving forces, cathartic a superfluity of 12" EPs featuring many of the genre's preeminent producers. As portion of the duette Origin Unknown with Miles, Andy C. produced one of Ram's many turning point tracks, "Vale of the Shadows." Released in 1993, the caterpillar track cursorily became non only an anthem just too a classic, beingness remixed and re-released repeatedly. Later in the '90s came more Origin Unknown tracks; in addition, Andy C. united forces with Shimon and Miles to form the much-celebrated supergroup Ram Trilogy. Throughout all his success, the islet of Man known to only a select few as Andy Clarke managed to stay for the nearly division anonymous and, as a result, substantially mythic -- an iconic figure of speech within the parochial and manic U.K. drum'n'bass scene -- known to even his fans as only Andy C. |

Low-income? No Car? Expect To Pay More For Groceries
�Households located in pitiful neighborhoods pay off more for the like items than people living in loaded ones, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
Author Debabrata Talukdar (Columbia University) examines the impact of what has been dubbed the "ghetto tax" on low-income individuals. His study found that the critical factor in how lots a family spends on groceries is whether it has access to a car. "Arguably, as the bigger, more cost-efficient stores move out, the poor increasingly are likely to find themselves choosing betwixt traveling further to purchase nutritious, competitively priced groceries or paying inflated prices for inferiority, processed foods at nook stores," Talukdar writes.
According to the findings, those without access to cars - which are exclusively poor households, just include only 40 percent of poor households - pay higher prices for groceries than households with access to a

Singing monks offer to save Amy Winehouse
An unlikely group has issued an invitation to Amy Winehouse, offering the troubled vocaliser shelter. It's not a rock band, the Church of Scientology, Narcotics Anonymous or regular a Saudi Arabian homage. No, Winehouse's unlikely supporters are a group of Austrian monks.
The Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz are based in Vienna, Austria, and they are a little apprehensive about poor Amy. She certainly has a prissy voice, only she doesn't seem to be doing too well. So the brothers would like to bring her over for some sedate, pious R&R.
"For 10 minutes I liked [Back to Black, Winehouse's 2006 album]," Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne explained to the Daily Telegraph. "But when I read the lyrics I thought it was sad. I would like to invite her here - I feel sympathetic to people care her. She could persist a hebdomad or deuce and discuss the big questions of life - faith power be an answer for her."
These monks for certain seem to be on the right track. Their own recent album � a recording of Gregorian chants called Chant: Music for Paradise - topped the charts in Austria and made the UK's Top 10. And their connection to Winehouse runs deeper than general human empathy � they likewise share the same label, Universal.
If Winehouse does decide to retire for a while outside Vienna, she needn't occupy that the Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz are overly ascetic. 25-year-old Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne has internet access in his cell, the Telegraph reports, so Winehouse could regular bring her beehive, her smokes, and a couplet of her entourage. Who knows, maybe Pete Doherty fancies some lessons in Gregorian chanting?

Madonna, Justin Timberlake Talk About 'Hotbox' NYC Show: 'I Think She Killed It,' Justin Says -- MTV News Exclusive!
A short and sweet, nonstop high-energy dance party — that was the half hour-plus set Madonna turned in Wednesday night at New York's Roseland Ballroom, in a special "secret" club show promoting her new LP, Hard Candy.
And after that, we got the rare — as in almost unheard of— opportunity to talk to Madonna and her special guest for the night, a certain talented dynamo named Justin Timberlake. I hate those tired "pop royalty" cliches, but what the hell: We had a 20-minute audience with the Queen of Pop and her Crown Prince.
So how was the show for them? "I think she killed it" was JT's assessment. As for Madge, "Yeah, it was very good. It was a bit airless — a bit of a hotbox in there." Well, it was plenty hot out in the audience, so I can imagine what it was like for them on stage.
Of course, during the Confessions Tour, Madonna had a habit of shutting off all air conditioning in the venues, reducing arenas to 20,000-strong steamrooms. "It's true — I generally don't like a.c.," she admitted, "but I could have appreciated it in this instance!"
These record-release club shows of Madonna's have become something of a tradition over for her last few albums, and they tend to be tightly paced affairs. This was no exception — 35-or-so minutes, or as I put it to her, "no fat."
"Are you saying that my big shows have fat on them?" she shot back. Yikes, here she comes! Madonna likes to come after me: John as punching bag. It's cool. "No, of course not", I replied, "but there's just not a lot of chit-chat in these shows."
Justin chimed in, telling Madonna, "I think you just had a woman moment!"
However, she explained, short-and-sweet is the point of these shows. "It's more like, the record's out — you know, it's a sampler? Like with those chocolate boxes, you just get all the best stuff — and no chocolate-covered cherries, 'cause everyone throws that sh-- out!"
Ah, the inevitable candy reference: perfect for the sex-and-lollipops vibe of Hard Candy. Even Justin admitted that at first, he was a bit surprised to learn the show would be so short, but then he added, "After watching it in rehearsal I was like, 'That's perfect,' 'cause like she says, you get enough of a taste of it to want some more."
(Madonna also weighed in on the recent criticism surrounding Miley Cyrus.)
The show was yet another how-to in pop showmanship, and Madonna spared nothing. The band was tight, the six dancers were tighter. The visuals included retro NYC subways and graffiti, a crew decked out in Kangols and dayglo during "Music," lasers on the disco-fied "Give It to Me" — the production values were as high as any you'll find in a 3,000-capacity venue.
So how long does it take to put something like this together? "Well, this time the rehearsal period was a bit short and mad," Madonna said. "I felt like we got thrown into a juggernaut. I like just a tiny bit more preparation — I would have liked two weeks but only got 10 days. Of course, Justin doesn't like to work as much as I do."
"I do!" JT demurred.
Madge relented. "Well, I don't know — you're a fast learner, I'm not. And also, I get a little obsessive about details."
No matter — JT is one guy who seems like he rolls out of bed ready to perform. And when black-booted Madge was joined by white-jacketed Justin for "4 Minutes" — to a deafening roar from the crowd — it was unquestionably the high point of the night. They jammed, bumped, grinded, worked the stage and made the already urgent, driving song drive even harder.
While that was the only appearance from Justin — who not only inducted Madge into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, but also worked extensively with Timbaland on Hard Candy — during the show, he told us that there could have been another. "She pretty much had the set list done and everything how she wanted it," he recalled, "and we talked on the phone about 'Miles Away' [a wistful, acoustic tune that's one of the album's standout tracks), and originally I said, 'Yeah, I wanna come on and play the guitar riff that I came up with for the song.' But she was like, 'Well yeah, but that's comes before '4 Minutes,' and I was like, 'Oh. OK.' " Yep, the lady calls the shots.
Madonna ended up playing that guitar part on 'Miles Away' herself — and later strapped on an electric for a rocking "Hung Up" that ended with a Joan Jett moment: a feedback-filled amplifier grind. I wished she would have gone further back in time for at least one old chestnut ("Borderline" was rumored but it didn't happen), but who's complaining? There's plenty of time for all that on Madonna's Hard Candy tour later this year.
But on Wednesday night, it was a candy sampler — and a chance to see Madge and JT, the pop superhero tag team, together. If they're not saving the world, at least they're making our corner of it a pretty fun place.

Cannes Winner Likely A Dark Film
The Cannes Film Festival jury will have a roster of mostly mercilessly gloomy films from which to select this year's Palme d'Or winner this weekend. Film buyers looked at them at screenings during the past week and passed. "With the dollar riding so low, a number of film companies going out of business, and the fact that the films haven't been all that terrific here, it really impacted film sales," Eamonn Bowles, head of distribution at Magnolia Pictures, told USA Today. But Daily Variety commented that the obits over the film market at Cannes "may have been premature," noting that many of the buyers were non-American. Nevertheless, some of the most high-profile U.S. films screened at the festival have found no takers, including Steven Soderbergh's Che, James Gray's Two Lovers, Barry Levinson's What Just Happened? and Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York.See Also

PORTLAND, Ore., April 17 -- Beginning with issue 25,
currently on newsstands, Gothic Beauty magazine is expanding its coverage

with articles on the haunting images of Tim Turner's Ghoulish Gallery, the
