469895
Fashion Wire Daily - We witnessed an unlikely meeting of influences in Emma Cook's collection shown Monday afternoon in London, everything from Cow Gal frills and posh punk attitude to toy soldierettes and twisted groupies, but the net result was a punchy series of clothes that had gall and audacity.

The British Department for Education and Skills (DfES) recently launched a "Music Manifesto" campaign, with the ostensible intention of educating the next generation of British musicians. Unfortunately, they also teamed up with the music industry (EMI, and various artists) to make this popular. EMI has apparently negotiated their end well, so that children in our schools will now be indoctrinated about the illegality of downloading music.The ignorance and audacity of this got to me a little, so I wrote an open letter to the DfES about it. Unfortunately, it's pedantic, as I suppose you have to be when writing to goverment representatives. But I hope you find it useful, and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar, if or when the same thing has happened in your area.

Violinist Rachel Barton Pine is on a quest to spread classical music. She goes on rock stations and plays heavy metal songs on her Guarneri violin, then throws in a little Paganini. She has established a foundation to help disadvantaged youngsters buy instruments and travel to competitions. And her albums often highlight not-so-famous composers whose works are worth knowing.
