My new find is Amaranthe, a Swedish-Danish power / melodic death metal band. They started out as Avalanche back in 2008 when they released a 4-song demo. Went through a name change to Amaranthe due to legal reasons and finally released their debut concept album this April. Which is good, very much so.
The second track, Hunger, was chosen as the first single:
"The surviving members of Pink Floyd reunited onstage tonight at London's 02 Arena during a stop on Roger Waters' Wall tour - marking only the second time that Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Waters had played together in the last 30 years." (Rolling Stone)
This is one of those once in a lifetime moments.

Нина. Зачем вы говорите, что целовали землю, по которой я ходила? Меня надо убить. (Склоняется к столу.) Я так утомилась! Отдохнуть бы... отдохнуть! (Поднимает голову.) Я — чайка... Не то. Я — актриса. Ну, да! (Услышав смех Аркадиной и Тригорина, прислушивается, потом бежит к левой двери и смотрит в замочную скважину.) И он здесь...(Возвращаясь к Треплеву.) Ну, да... Ничего... Да... Он не верил в театр, все смеялся над моими мечтами, и мало-помалу я тоже перестала верить и пала духом... А тут заботы любви, ревность, постоянный страх за маленького... Я стала мелочною, ничтожною, играла бессмысленно... Я не знала, что делать с руками, не умела стоять на сцене, не владела голосом. Вы не понимаете этого состояния, когда чувствуешь, что играешь ужасно. Я — чайка. Нет, не то... Помните, вы подстрелили чайку? Случайно пришел человек, увидел и от нечего делать погубил... Сюжет для небольшого рассказа... Это не то... (Трет себе лоб.) О чем я?.. Я говорю о сцене. Теперь уж я не так... Я уже настоящая актриса, я играю с наслаждением, с восторгом, пьянею на сцене и чувствую себя прекрасной. А теперь, пока живу здесь, я все хожу пешком, все хожу и думаю, думаю и чувствую, как с каждым днем растут мои душевные силы... Я теперь знаю, понимаю, Костя, что в нашем деле — все равно, играем мы на сцене или пишем — главное не слава, не блеск, не то, о чем я мечтала, а уменье терпеть. Умей нести свой крест и веруй. Я верую и мне не так больно, и когда я думаю о своем призвании, то не боюсь жизни.

Cellos have been cool at least since Apocalyptica released their 1996 album.
For further proof check out the 2CELLOS porject of Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser and their rendition of Smooth Criminal.
And now I stumbled upon Misi Várnagy with his electric cello and loop station:
The rector of my alma mater had to send a letter to the students and staff today to react to the leaked proposal by the under-secretary for education Rózsa Hoffmann according to which Corvinus University may be closed, its faculties broken up and merged with four other universities.
Rector Tamás Mészáros wrote that the university has not been contacted or asked to participate in any consultation regarding this plan. He believes that such a decision would be inconsistent with the European values as well as diminish the competitiveness of Hungary. The popularity, achievements and international recognition of the university are values to be improved not destroyed.
Corvinus University is currently ranked 62nd in the Financial Times European Masters in Management rankings.
Derek: Wait a second, wait a second... That doesn't make sense. Nah, you didn't get... you didn't get six years for stealing a TV. Come on.
Lamont: I go in the store, I come out, the police officer grabs my arm, the TV falls on his foot and breaks it. They said I threw the TV at the officer. Assault. Six years.
Derek: Come on, tell the truth. You chucked it at him.
Lamont: Like I said, I came out of the store, he grabbed my arm, it fell... on his foot.
