For the very first time in New York coastal waters, the voices of singing blue whales have been positively identified. Acoustic experts at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) confirmed that the voice of a singing blue whale was tracked about 70 miles off of Long Island and New York City on Jan. 10-11, 2009, as the whale swam slowly from east to west. At the same time, a second blue whale was heard singing offshore in the far distance.  

Ropeadope's own Teddy Presberg continues to convert humans into life-long fans after lacing them with Blueprint of Soul= still in heavy rotation at the fake offices over a year after it's release.  We're not alone in our feelings either, new album coming out in a month, it’s bad ass and called “Outcries From a Sea of Red”. Two-month tour to follow. Pick up more Teddy here. Watch you some Teddy here.
