Meat

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Most people eat pork, which accounts for 38 percent of world meat production, followed by poultry at 30 percent and beef at 25 percent.

“Ideas come out just through living life,” says Keigo Oyamada, 39, who goes by the stage name Cornelius, after a character in the movie Planet of the Apes.

Team to ask him to remix their songs in his explosive, multilayered and brilliantly eclectic style.
