When it was released in 1974, “No Other” divided critics and eluded the public. It offers a set of extraordinarily beautiful songs

ON NOVEMBER 8TH a much-loved album will be reissued in a lavish multi-format edition. Often such releases are an opportunity for the music industry to squeeze yet further revenue out of a bestseller by a famous name. But in the case of “No Other”, an album released in 1974 by Gene Clark, it is a labour of love, not a cash-in. Behind the reissue is not a major record company but 4AD, a veteran British independent label known for championing art-pop and experimental acts.

Clark was born in rural Missouri in 1944, one of 13 siblings. He showed a remarkable talent as a singer and guitarist, and was adept enough to make a career of music in his teens. He moved to Los Angeles and between 1964 and 1966 became—for the first and last time in his life—a bona fide rock’n’roll star. He was a founding member and the principal songwriter of the Byrds , who merged their twin loves of folk music and the Beatles into a new hit sound.

A New Approach to Gene Therapy—Now In Dogs, Maybe Later In HumansGene therapy has successfully been used to treat age-related ailments in mice. Now it’s being studied in dogs, with the eventual hopes to test it in humans. When they get to primate trials I’d like volunteer as a case history. 👏🏻 Why can't they study the effects in human cell lines? Dogs aren't that related to humans. In fact, pigs are actually more like the human counterparts in a lot of ways. At least that is what I was taught in my years working with a medical company that dealt with pig products.
