Tats Cru created the mural during a week-long residency at JXTA in late April and early May. A gallery show of their work "Live from New York" is on display in JXTA's 2007 Emerson Ave. N Gallery through June 29.

Audio share of streaming is 54% in 2016, growing from 44% through the first six months of 2015. • There are 3 albums that have sold over 1 Million units so far this year (Adele/25, Drake/Views and Beyonce/Lemonade), while there was only 1 at this time last year (Taylor Swift/1989). • Creative release strategies, driven mostly by digital formats, continue to be a major story. Drake’s “Views”, Beyonce’s “Lemonade” and Kanye Wests “The Life of Pablo” have all been successful this year and are led by digital formats. Also, 2016 saw the first album to chart based solely on streaming activity, when Chance the Rapper debuted at #8 in its first week with 57M audio streams. • Digital purchasing has seen the largest decline of all formats with Digital tracks down 24% and digital albums down 18%. Total digital purchasing (Albums + Track Equivalents) is down 21% vs. the first half of 2015. However, factoring in the gains in streaming and total digital consumption is up 15%. • Vinyl continues to become a bigger piece of the physical music business. Vinyl LPs now comprise nearly 12% of the physical business in the first half of 2016, which far surpasses last year’s record pace of 9%.

    THE DIVINE COMEDY – A BIOGRAPHY The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon. Over the years, the name has encompassed other musicians, but the driving force of the band and its main (sometimes only!) member has always been Neil Hannon. He chose the name 'The Divine Comedy' aged 18, almost at random. He and two Enniskillen school friends needed a new name for their band and Neil spotted a copy of Dante’s epic poem on the family bookshelf. It stuck, and a year later it was the name under which the trio signed to Irish run indie Setanta Records. They left Northern Ireland, moved into a squat in London, released a mini-album, 1990’s REM/Ride influenced 'Fanfare for the Comic Muse' and ‘91’s ‘Europop’ E.P. then split up. Neil's bandmates went to university and Neil returned home. Retaining the name, he spent 18 months living in his parents’ attic, sleeping during the day, watching old movies and writing songs at night. Influenced by everything from Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Michael Nyman to "A Room with a View", Wordsworth, and Mr Benn, these songs eventually evolved into two albums. The first of these, ‘Liberation’ was released in 1993. Totally different to anything else around, and indeed his previous work, he now considers it his first album proper. The press adored it. The NME described it as "..an array of seductive yarns.. glorious, gleeful tunesmanship." Dave Cavanagh, writing in Select said "...one of the bountiful, overflowing joys of the year. Any year." Melody Maker described it as "An album that could make any listener want to stumble up to him and proclaim ‘Neil, you’re a genius’".

  • Fat Content of the Diet Among Pre-School Children in Britain; Relationship with Food and Nutrient Intakes
    European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2002) 56, 252–263 ß 2002 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0954–3007/02 $25.00 www.nature.com/ejcn ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Fat content of the diet among pre-school children in Britain; relationship with food and nutrient intakes I Rogers1 and P Emmett* and the ALSPAC Study Team1 1Unit of Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Division of Child Health, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK Objective: To investigate the relationship between the percentage of energy from fat and food and nutrient intakes at 18 and 43 months of age. Design: Diet was assessed using a 3 day unweighed food record. The children were divided into quartiles of fat intake as a percentage of energy (QFI), and food and nutrient intakes in the different QFIs were compared. Subjects: A total of 1026 children at 18 months and 863 children at 43 months, taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood, participated. Results: At 18 months the mean (s.d.) fat intake was 31.2 (2.8) % of energy in the lowest QFI and 43.1 (2.2) % in the highest. Energy intake increased slightly with increasing QFI. The percentage of energy derived from total sugar, and in particular non- milk extrinsic sugar fell as QFI increased, as did the ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Intakes of retinol equivalents and zinc increased significantly with increasing QFI, while intakes of iron and most water soluble vitamins fell. There was a particularly marked fall in vitamin C intake as fat intake increased, from 11.8 mg=MJ in the lowest QFI, to 6.0 mg=MJ in the highest (P < 0.001).
