  • Nexus Magazine (April/May 1994 issue) - Review of the song "Five Days in a Photon Belt" by Warp Factor Nine on Karmic Hit Records.
  • In the late Summer of 1994 Arthur J. "Art" DiFuria (born July 1967 - He is both a rock musician and a professor of art history, currently teaching at SCAD = Savannah College of Art and Design at Savannah, Georgia) left the Lilys (an East Coast rock band formed in 1988 in Washington, D.C., whose leader was Kurt Heasley) and formed a rock band of his own called the Photon Band. Several months earlier, DiFuria had read an article about the Photon Belt in a Winter 1993 issue of Welcome To Planet Earth magazine (an astrology magazine), and the article impressed him so deeply that it inspired him to name his new band the Photon Band. In December 1994 the Lilys released an album on the SpinArt label titled Eccsame the Photon Band (which means "Behold and Open the Photon Band"), a title which was intended to pay tribute to their former band member Art DiFuria and his new band the Photon Band.
  • In 1998 Australian artist/musician Frankie Death teamed up with a music group named The Photon Belt (led by a musician known as "Burnin" Ernie Oppenheimer) and released a CD on the Subversive Records label titled Future Unseen, Soundtrack for the Film.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:

    “Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
