After a two-year break following touring their critically middling seventh studio album, 2011’s If Not Now, When?, Los Angeles-based post-grunge rockers Incubus are back with new music in the form of E.P. Trust Fall (Side A), with Side B due out later this year.
Always a band to shift with the times and experiment rather than remain within their comfort zone, Incubus have always been a collective of rock, funk and punk with a DJ element thrown in, making them stand out amongst their peers and likely what has carried them through the high and lows of their 24-year career to date.
Following the release of Trust Fall (Side A) in March 2015, Incubus are back on the live circuit with a single stop at West London’s Hammersmith Apollo venue, following a string of European festival appearances, for “An Evening With Incubus”, their first show in almost three years.
Following a five minute digital countdown clock displayed on the huge screen that provided the stage it’s backdrop, bassist Ben Kenny, drummer José Pasillas, DJ Chris Kilmore and guitarist Mike Einziger strolled onto the stage and took up their positions as the intro to Morning View track Wish You Were Here began to make itself known. Frontman Brandon Boyd then made his entrance to huge cheers from the 5,000-strong sold-out crowd. And by the time the chorus came around, the crowd had been whipped into frenzy. Next track Light Grenades hit Anna Molly was quickly followed by If Not Now, When? single Adolescents, which served to calm down proceedings a little.
Frontman Brandon Boyd owned his audience from the moment he stepped into the bright light setup of the show and exuded all the energy expected from a heavyweight rock show, the obligatory shirt removal coming part way through the set. While rarely addressing the crowd, aside from to say thank you, he bounded about the stage, often crouching down on his monitors or leaping off them.
But it was bassist Ben Kenney who had the crowd chanting out his name early on in the set which led the frontman to take a moment out to acknowledge the audience’s love for his bandmate and bow to him.
New song Absolution Calling from the Trust Fall E.P. had the crowd singing along before moshing at the front took on a new lease of life with S.C.I.E.N.C.E. favourite Vitamin.
A slowed-down, stripped-back first verse of Make Yourself hit Pardon Me had the 39-year-old frontman grinning as the crowd sang back every word and prematurely sang him back the chorus before the band launched into the song proper.
A Crow Left of the Murder song Agoraphobia was introduced by Boyd as a song not played live for a while and led into Trust Fall track Dance Like You’re Dumb, which sounded as though it could easily have come from pre-major label record S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
A Crow Left of the Murder opener Megalomaniac closed the main set, the band segueing into Nirvana’s Come As You Are during a brief interlude.
Probably their biggest commercial hit, Make Yourself song Drive, opened up a three-song encore. It had to be played but was never going to be this band’s set list tent pole. In fact, with such an extensive back catalogue of roof-shattering rock anthems and delicately crafted, honey-slick mellower picks, there was never a dull moment or a single standout peak in the rollercoaster ride, two-hour set.
After a career as extensive as Incubus have had, it’s easy to see how the factory of music-making can get stuck along the way, but tonight has proven that not only has the factory received a well-deserved oil, with Incubus back making standout new music, but that the machine is back at full-throttle with clever and articulate song crafting and instrumentation at the helm.
Incubus’ live show too doesn’t falter in the slightest, seem exhausted or rely on a single standout hit from the past. This writer and photographer certainly left the West London venue of tonight’s performance with very sore through from singing (yelling?) along with pretty much every song from their epic, career-spanning set.

he Apollo Belvedere or Apollo of the Belvedere—also called the Pythian Apollo[1]—is a celebrated marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity.
It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century, during the Renaissance. From the mid-18th century it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists, and for centuries epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world. It is now found in the Cortile delle Statue of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex.
The Greek god Apollo is depicted as a standing archer having just shot an arrow. Although there is no agreement as to the precise narrative detail being depicted, the conventional view has been that he has just slain the serpent Python, the chthonic serpent guarding Delphi—making the sculpture a Pythian Apollo. Alternatively, it may be the slaying of the giant Tityos, who threatened his mother Leto, or the episode of the Niobids.
The large white marble sculpture is 2.24 m (7.3 feet) high. Its complex contrapposto has been much admired, appearing to position the figure both frontally and in profile. The arrow has just left Apollo's bow and the effort impressed on his musculature still lingers. His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck and rises gracefully to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except for his sandals and a robe (chlamys) clasped at his right shoulder, turned up on his left arm, and thrown back.
The lower part of the right arm and the left hand were missing when discovered and were restored by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli (1507–1563), a sculptor and pupil of Michelangelo.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
L'Apollo Theater est une salle de spectacle mythique du quartier de Harlem au nord de Manhattan (New York, États-Unis), située sur la 125e rue. Elle est devenue dans les années 1940 le symbole de la musique noire américaine.L'Apollo Theater devient célèbre, notamment avec sa fameuse « Nuit des amateurs » dont le but est de faire monter sur scène des jeunes et moins jeunes talents inconnus du public. Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown (qui revient sur la scène de l'Apollo en 1962 devant 1 500 personnes déchaînées pour l'enregistrement de son disque Live at the Apollo), Anita Baker et plus tard Michael Jackson (avec The Jackson Five) ont fait leurs premiers pas sur scène grâce à ce concours organisé tous les mercredis soirs à l'Apollo Theater.
Le Théâtre Apollo, « là où les rêves se réalisent et où les légendes sont nées », devient un tremplin pour la célébrité. La « Nuit des amateurs » reste d'actualité encore aujourd'hui et se déroule toujours le mercredi soir. (source wikipedia)
Le mur à côté du théâtre est recouvert de mots à la mémoire de Michael Jackson.
I would have given both of your kidney's to try this. I think I would have been something like Dave Foley representation of Al Bean in HBO's From the Earth to the Moon.
Didim Apollon Tapınağı
Didim'deki bu tapınak çok iyi korunmuş ve günümüze ulaşmış. Burası Milet kentinin kutsal yeriymiş. İki yanında heykeller bulunan kutsal bir yol ile Milet şehrine bağlanıyormuş. Bu heykellerden bazıları ne yazıkki ülke topraklarından çıkarılmış. Günümüzde müze olarak ziyaretçilere açık olan mekan her gün yerli ve yabancı turist akınına uğruyor...

OMLT for the metro, metro core and long-haul portions of the network. It provides cost-effective aggregation of TDM, Ethernet and IP/MPLS over OTN and WDM. It can be configured as a pure optical networking platform (with OTN, ROADM and high capacity WDM capabilities), multi-terabit ODU cross-connect with full WDM capability, CESR with 100Gbps and multi-terabit packet switching capacity or as an integrated packet-optical solution.
Apollo lives at the nearby colony that we help to manage and where we trap most of the time. This is a crop of the same photo as the other photos of him that I just uploaded.

Apollo (my Bratz Boyz Koby) striking his best "divinity" pose.
His hair is curly copper saran from DollyHair. I rooted it in, then styled it by brushing it out and wrapping each individual hair around my finger to create loose spirals. For more information and tutorials, see my blog Dolly Care:

Commemorative Apollo 7 mission patch honoring the crew of Apollo 1 who died in a tragic fire on Pad 34.
In Apollo 7 crew member's Walt Cunningham's own words:
"When Gus, Ed and Roger were killed in the fire on Pad 34, the Apollo 1 backup crew of Wally, Donn and I, inherited the mission. NASA focused on recovering from the fire and getting back on schedule with Apollo VII. Our original patch concept was to depict a Saturn 18 rising from the ashes of its predecessor, like the mythical bird, Phoenix.
NASA discouraged us from using the Phoenix analogy...over the years I wondered what it would have been like had we been able to use our original concept, Apollo VII, rising from the ashes of the Apollo 1 fire that claimed the lives of three friends, was NASA's first "Return to Flight.". This "Flight of the Phoenix" placed America firmly on the path to "land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth in this decade."
This commemorative design beautifully illustrates that accomplishment. Our Apollo spacecraft, sitting atop the Saturn 1B, rising from the fire on Pad 34, is emulating the Phoenix and its renewed life. The flames are represented by the Phoenix spreading her wings to take flight. In tribute to the Apollo I crew, we borrowed the illustration of their spacecraft from their mission patch, pointing toward the Moon. The six stars represent Gus, Ed and Roger along with our crew of Wally, Donn and I. Trimmed in red, white and blue; it pays tribute to our country for daring to dream the impossible."

The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.
