Recently I found this interesting video playlist about the Blue Plague. Apparently the Blue Plague is a new desease currently exclusive to the US gulf coast.
A short list of what I understood of it, but english is not my first language so please give me a break if I got something wrong!
So this is what I made of these videos, and if this is true, even if only in parts, we are looking at immense trouble. I always wondered why I never heard about surfers from the Gulf complaining of the loss of their sea, but writing this right now it dawns on me that most of them are probably in some way or other depending on the oil industry. However, the stuff is not going to stay in their waters, it starts travelling with the currents around the world.

For the people who like a wobbly g-string on their guitar to play more expressive I have three versions of the wonderful tune Claire de Lune by turn of the 19th/20th century composer Claude Debussy.
The first is a theremin version with the ultimate degree of pitch modulation.
The second is a violin version with the moderate pitch vibrato that the movement of the left hand permits.
The third and last version is played on harmonica and for me is the winner in the emotion (and sound) department.
So in conclusion: there’s more to an emotional sound than shaky pitch.
The good people at TED dedicated a whole website to the plastic pollution problem. Here’s a video I just watched there featuring the Malloy brothers reporting from their extensive visits to countless beaches and surf breaks all around the world.
Here’s some background on “safety” at oil companies, in this case BP. Tthey really have to to cut costs at any price – or this is what the managers learned in business school.

In this video Jared Diamond is talking about the collapsing of societies. He shortly mentions new facts to account for the happenings to the Easter Island people and more recently the Salomon Islanders. I find this stuff highly interesting, what about you?
