Meanwhile the highly respected and popular flickr group The World Through My Eyes has made her this week's Featured Photographer dubbing her the Lomo Queen of flickr! She's also geeting featured on blogs not related to photography like the influential www.coudal.com which picked up on a post by The Cartoonist.
Meanwhile www.mayanewman.com now features a link to her Flickr River which generates a scrolling gallery of her work generated from her flickr pages. The web app is designed by Alex Sirota the man behind FoxyTunes.

To save confusion to non-Spanish speakers the shows (in podcast format) are being linked right off the front page of the station. The playlists for the first 2 shows can be found here here and here.

Githead portrait

Githead are: Malka Spigel, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Colin Newman and Max Franken. The band is very new, yet in its short existence Githead has managed to craft a style which is both original yet accessible, combining rhythmic toughness with interweaving guitars, and insistently funky basslines with deadpan vocals.
