A strange light phenomenon is sighted in the night sky above parts of northern Norway early December 9, 2009. Russia’s new submarine-based intercontinental missile suffered the latest in a series of test failures, newspapers reported on Thursday, as unusual lights were spotted in Norway across the border from the launch site.

"There’s a longer piece to be written about the changing face of futurism in electronic music’s history. And I don’t mean to imply that futurist rhetoric, or even the concept of “progression” itself, is a necessary component of electronic dance music. In a recent column addressing the state of hip-hop, Sasha Frere-Jones posed a set of questions towards the evaluation of any given musical genre: “Is the music still confounding our expectations and startling us, or is it simply carrying on and punching the clock?
