First footage of uncontacted tribe in Brazil
This aerial footage showing one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes living in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil was filmed by the BBC for their new series “Human Planet” and released via uncontactedtribes.org on February 4, 2011.
“Without proof they exist, the outside world won’t support them,” says José Carlos Morelos, whose job it is to monitor the endangered tribe’s land and protect it from invaders. “One image of them has more impact than a thousand reports.”

Arthur Radio Voyage #18: Swimming in the Cosmic Ocean w/ DJ Ron Like Hell
Double-click for fullscreen + scroll.
Many leagues below a murky, oil-filled pocket of subtropical waters off the southern coast of the United States, abyss creatures continue to communicate through light and vibration. In the “midnight zone,” a formidable black swallower feeds off of a hydrothermal vent, shrouded in a darkness thicker and blacker than deepest outer space. An opalescent dumbo octopus floats serenely by, her shiny coating picking up hints of a nearby jellyfish‘s flashing stroboscopic light, which illuminates a pulsating haze of red around them. On the very bottom of the ocean floor, a sea dandelion sits quietly, swaying back and forth to the rhythm of tectonic plates stirring below her…
Above: Special guest DJ Ron Like Hell, a resident purveyor of good taste and mind-expanding musical knowledge at northern Greenpoint’s favorite record-vending establishment, Permanent Records. If you are in the New York area on Friday, June 11th, go see him DJ at The Loft above Public Assembly.
