Kieran Hebden (born 1977. Putneny, London England) is an electronic, post- rock musician. You may know him better by his stage name 'Four Tet'. His new album 'There is love in you', which was released in 2010, with its well known hit 'Angel Echoes' (Track 1), could be described as soundtrack to a journey through the arctic circle, accompanied by the northern lights as a personal lighting display! There is Love in You' definitely differs from his last, and yet still holds Four Tet's distinctive sounds from his previous album 'Everything Ecstatic', released in 2005. The album seems to focus mainly around repetitive, minimal, ambient loop's slapped in together with live instruments. This album has definitely made my winter playlist and most likely Nation Geographics as well!

Mother Nature says CHEESE!

A friend told me about these pictures from the GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the year 2010 and this is my favourite. A New Year's resolution of mine is to be a hundred times more environmentally friendly, it doesn't take much out of your daily routine and a small gesture can make a big difference! I don't want to sound like a preachy tree-hugger but I think we all have a collective responsibility to care for the environment, and care for each other. The world seems to be getting more selfish by the day, and I don't think it will do us any good in the long run.
