@ Getty
Getty Museum exhibit GODS OF ANGKOR: Bronzes from the National Museum of Cambodia, February 22- August 14, 2011, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Cambodia is renowned for the extraordinary art produced during the Angkor period of the Khmer empire, between the ninth and the fifteenth centuries, when sculptors mastered the art of bronze casting and created profound images of Hindu and Buddhist divinities. A focused exhibition of loans from the National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, Gods of Angkor includes some of the finest Cambodian bronzes in existence as well as a small group of bronzes from the pre-Angkor period and some recently excavated works. It also celebrates the establishment of a bronze conservation studio at the National Museum of Cambodia and that institution's role in conserving Cambodia's cultural heritage.
The exhibit will include a Family Festival, on June 4, which includes several Long Beach local Cambodian performances and organizations.

The Cure - A Forest
"A Forest" is a single by the British rock band The Cure, released on April 8, 1980 as the only single from their second album Seventeen Seconds.
The lyrics tell a vague story about a man looking for a girl in a forest. He hears her calling for him, and as he chases her, he suddenly stops and realizes that he is lost and that the girl is not there. The song is fairly upbeat compared to the other material on the album, and Lol Tolhurst's machine-like steady beat together with Simon Gallup's minimalistic bassline gives this nervous chase more depth and keeps the song on the edge of a frantic groove until the end.
