There’s a new band from England named Cicada. I discovered them this week while reading music critic “Top 10″ lists for 2006. I guess the easiest way to describe them is “disco” — good music for dancing and working out, I suppose. Go to their MySpace page and check them out for yourself.

Here’s a preview:

Mike Libby takes cicadas and adds machine and electronic parts to them. Interesting art.

About this Bibliography of the Cicadoidea
Compiled by Timothy McNary. Last Update: December 1, 2006.
The following bibliography of the Cicadoidea, compiles references from 3 sources. First and foremost is the “A Bibliography of the Cicadoidea (Homoptera: Auchenorhyncha)” by Z. P. Metcalf (1962). This reference listed over 2669 works on cicadas up through 1955. The second major source is the bibliography in Catalogue of the Cicadoidea (Homoptera, Auchenorhyncha) 1956-1850. by J. P. Duffels and P. A. Van der Lann (1985). This book includes 677 references, mostly between 1956 and 1980, but does include some works prior to 1956. An additional 1375 plus references are now included, covering references not cited in Metcalf’s or Duffels and Van der Lann’s works. This update list 370 new references included since June 2006 . The new listings are mostly from 1980 through 2006.
A great moment in comic book history: Steel versus the Giant Cicadas (Absorbascon blog).
Hilarious.
