Scintillating Music from Sicily -The Blue Purple Bees

Coming from Catania, Sicily, the Blue Purple Bees are an Italian pop/rock band who write and sing their music in English.

The band are Drew on vocals, guitars, keyboards, Sten on lead guitar and Chacondar on drums. Blue Purple Bees’ influences, which can be fairly easily heard in their music, well, I think so, are The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, and the slithery EELS.  I thought I could here a touch of Marc Bolan of T-Rex in the ‘Bees more recent stuff.

Personally, I like the BPB’s sound.  About the only criticism I have is that their songs are too short!  Hopefully this is just because they’ve been shortened for the web, which is likely.

Italy’s Mozzarella Cheese May Be Contaminated

Article amended to reflect conversation with investigating magistrate.

Today on Italian food news site NewsFood.com an article stated that 70% of Italy’s mozzarella cheese is contaminated by bacteria. The truth is that it’s too early to make such a claim – as the 70% really refers to mozzarella tested, not all of the mozzarella in Italy.

Still, while most of the bacteria in question found is not harmful, some is.
