The Unheard Music

The Damned will always have a prominent place in the story of U.K. punk. Their first album, 'Damned Damned Damned' is and remains rock at its messy, wonderful best. (More)

Next up is Balaam and The Angel, a gothic pop band formed in Birmingham, England in 1984. They began as a more pop-oriented unit, but found themselves affiliated with the goth-rock movement after a series of opening dates for the Cult. They released four albums and a number of singles.

Here is an unreleased b-side remake: "I Feel Love".

This month saw the debut of new writers and artists on Uncanny X-Men & X-Men. Uncanny follows the story continued from the Deadly Genesis mini series where we found out who the third summers brother is, what happened to him, why he is so pissed off and why he is on his way to make a whole lot of trouble.

Over in X-Men, Rogue is leading a mismatched team with Mystique and IceMan against a new threat that has Sabertooth running scared.

Mystery Stone

CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) -- In 1872, so the story goes, workers digging a hole for a fence post near Lake Winnipesaukee in the central part of this New England state found a lump of clay that seemed out of place.
There was something inside -- a dark, odd-looking, egg-shaped stone with a variety of carvings, including a face, teepee, ear of corn and starlike circles. There were many questions: Who made the stone and why? How old was it? How was it carved? To date, no one has been able to say for sure, and the item has come to be known as the "Mystery Stone."

Has Noah's Ark Been Found?

Texas archaeologists believe they may have located the remains of Noah's Ark in Iran's Elburz mountain range.
"I can't imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark," said Arch Bonnema of the B.A.S.E Institute. Bonnema and the other B.A.S.E. Institute members hiked for seven hours in the mountains northwest of Tehran, climbing 13,000 feet before making the apparent discovery.
"We got up to this object, nestled in the side of a hill," said Robert Cornuke, a member of the B.A.S.E. Institute. "We found something that has my heart skipping a beat." "It wasn't impressive at first," Cornuke said. "Certainly didn't think it to be Noah's Ark. But when we got close, we were amazed. It looked similar to wood. It looked like the deck of any boat today."

The B.A.S.E institute hopes the physical evidence they've brought back from Iran will hold the answer to this enduring mystery. "I think we found something here that's very notable."
The B.A.S.E. Institute's samples are being examined at labs in Texas and Florida. B.A.S.E officials concede that there would be no way to conclusively prove that their finding is actually Noah's Ark. So the hunt goes on. The biggest hurdle in identifying Noah's Ark comes down to "gopher wood." The Bible says the Ark was made of gopher wood but no one knows what it is. (Source)
