Remi/Rough & Stormie Mills: Selected Moments
That sounds like a great art show, so if you're in the area, make sure to pay them a visit!
Remi/Rough about the show:
I’m pretty excited about this show… The first ever show with my great friend Stormie Mills and just myself!
We’re reflecting on some of our travels together and referencing some of the huge walls and special projects we’ve done together…
It’s at the Unit44 Gallery in Newcastle and we’ll be painting a massive wall as part of the show. It’s going to be pretty different for us both.

Unit44's Blog:
When we launched the space we always had the artist in mind. Being able to invite artists to the North East and get to grips with a project they are really passionate about is where we really wanted to be. No point in doing things by halves or starting off slow we introduce Remi/Rough & Stormie Mills. Collaborating in this format they will create something completely original, bespoke, and personal to the space itself. I see no better way of starting our gallery programme. It gives us great pleasure to announce 'Selected Moments'.

500 million friends against child exploitation
Today marks a significant milestone in the ongoing fight against the abuse of Internet technology for the heinous sexual victimization of the most innocent in our society. As you may have read in the
New York Times, Facebook is joining Microsoft in the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s PhotoDNA program to combat child pornography. NCMEC’s program, using image-matching technology created by Microsoft Research in collaboration with Dartmouth College, gives online service providers an effective tool to take more proactive action to stop the distribution of known images of child sexual abuse online.

Mick Jagger Forms Supergroup with Dave Stewart, Joss Stone and Damian Marley
For the first time since the Rolling Stones formed nearly 50 years ago, Mick Jagger is part of a new band: Super Heavy – featuring Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and Indian film composer A.R. Rahman. The band has quietly been recording together over the past 18 months, with their debut LP planned for sometime around September. "It's different from anything else I've ever been involved in," Jagger tells Rolling Stone. "The music is very wide-ranging – from reggae to ballads to Indian songs in Urdu."
The group got its start two years ago when Dave Stewart called Jagger from his home in Jamaica. "I live in Lime Hall right above St. Ann's Bay," says Stewart. "It's kind of the jungle, and sometimes I'd hear three sound systems all playing different things. I always love that, along with Indian orchestras. I said to Mick, ‘How could we make a fusion?' We were talking about an experiment, and then we started talking about voices. It was all born from that conversation."...
