Mara Carlyle!
Hier, Mara Carlyle a publié un nouveau message sur sa page MySpace !
Le voici dans son intégralité:
MARA IN GOOD NEWS SHOCKER!
So. Fancy that. As you know, a couple of months ago I made the very difficult decision to give up trying to put out my record because this fruitless endeavour was, basically, ruining my life. Then, just 3 weeks later, in a turn of fate that will give the Chilean miners a run for their money in this year's Heartwarming Stories Awards, I got a call from Ikea. I'll let Will Hodgkinson explain, from last Friday's Guardian:

Yes, it would seem that my career has been given a reprieve by a Swedish furniture company. Who'd a thunk it?
and you can see the advert itself here (it's actually rather lovely):

So I guess there really was wisdom in letting go after all. I have to say, it feels amazing. And the phone has most certainly been ringing lately, with something of a renewed fervour, which is leading me to believe that my sweet and patient album may well get a release after all.
Thank you so much to everyone who has tweeted, retweeted, blogged or posted about my recent good fortune (special mention to Jon Snow and Helen Walters for their sterling efforts in this medium)...turns out it really makes a difference. I'm aware that my 'online presence' is shabby to say the least, and I swear I'm working on it but in the meantime all the support and shouts you guys give me is a huge help. Not sure where I'd be without it, to be honest.
Speaking of which, a big thank you to The Invisible for endowing me with the best quote EVER. I am so excited and flattered by their description of me as the 'Missy Elliot of the classical world' that from now on I may insist that I am always addressed as such.

And to illustrate this point, here's an example of me getting my freak on with Ralph Vaughan Williams:

SO, THE FUTURE...
I plan to return some of the aforementioned phonecalls and see what devilish plans the music industry has for me now.
I plan to record composer Emily Hall's beautiful 'Love Songs' song cycle with Oliver Coates and John Reid.
I plan to take a trip to New York, and maybe play my first US show.
I plan to collaborate with Sam Mason on more of his extraordinary videos: http://vimeo.com/15403381 (turns out I'm an excellent face painter - who knew?)
As a great man once said: don't call it a comeback. I've been here for, quite literally, years...

We learn therefore that following the disappointments with EMI on the release of his new album, Mara Carlyle decided to give up and move on to other things and some time later the chain Ikea has called for use of his songs ( Pianni the album The Lovely ) for a new advertising and that since it is broadcast in England and which is a success surpassed 1 million views on YouTube with a lot of comments asking "what's that beautiful song?" his phone rings more often with new opportunities with the music industry and that will eventually Mara may release his new album one day.
Personally I hope this publicity will be stationed in England and it does not happen here in France because I do not want to hear mass here and wants to know the author of the song in the video! Mara is me!

Does Wwe Cover Their Wrestlers Travel Costs
Labmutation is dead, long live Labmutation! The new
Friends Biologists hello
the middle of August and the bottom of my laboratory I announce my intention to stop the publication of bills in this blog. The reason? Complex but I can summarize in 5 words:
"Reform kill me."
Created in fall 2008, this blog was intended to comment Reform of the French medical biology. Others have also often much better, but I thought it interesting that a biologist base gives its opinion on the issue (after all, there are many users who are spread in long pages ; about depilatory creams ... why not reform Ballereau). He had his little share of success with nearly 20,000 readers and resumption of tickets in various community sites. As an exemption, here a blog dedicated to mutual who recently cited Labmutation. But the end of recess was called. I a trade practice under conditions increasingly difficult, as many Sisters and Brothers, I head to the grindstone and not enough time for other activities. The requirement for accreditation and will need to reorganize the rolling landscape of French biology. In what state will we cope? To find out, then go in 2013. As for me, I have no choice but to (try to) prepare this deadline.
therefore Labmutation Quid? The blog will continue but with a different vocation.
I will indeed give the reins to KW will write little notes and biological techniques. Be discussed together because just imagine, Friends biologists, that in preparing for accreditation, I ask myself a lot of biological questions to which I have not answered, either in books or on the Internet or in the course of DES Interns I could cross. The "Experts" say that the answers are in the literature. Understand in articles in journals to which you can not access on-line! KW Well, try to show you what we found together. It will be less glamorous than commenting the conclusions of the Advocate General the European Court ... but the Medical Biology Is Glamour? Wide debate.
Brothers and Sisters in arms (instead of plain tubes), it was a pleasure to go the path with you.
Labmutation died. Cheers Labmutation.

Standing with a tear in the eye (... in September, will really make this assessment allergic).

Bringing Maglite On Plane
Biologists are there: they are resistant.
Friends Biologists, hello.
You know everyone, we will celebrate in a dozen days, the 70th anniversary of the Appeal of 18 June What reminded me is a bubble about the recent media desire for a teachers' union to withdraw the memoirs of General de Gaulle's program sections of the secondary literature. Of course, I will refrain from making any public comment on the matter although on this belief.
You also know, French biology is now cut by a Maginot Line, a financial side Biology and Biology on the other practitioner (as I call it biology patrician dad - no I'm not exaggerating, have a look at the pyramid). Between these two fractions, a new has appeared. She sought his place in the last 5 years, past contests, learned, hoped and imagined his future career but in vain. Some have called "lost generation" and others have even criticized, quite cynically Besides, she had no place in the system since it did not wish not involved (again. ...) as did the one before. What would happen, happened. I let you have a look at this post .
After patrician biology, biology, financial, here is the Biology resistant.
Who says that young people were not interested in history?
