New Static Jacks – "Young Guns"
April 20th, 2012 • Comment, News
Tags: Andrew Maury, Fearless Records, Fenway Recordings, Laces, Spray Tan, The Static Jacks, Young Guns
Since the US release of their debut album "If You're Young" last August, The Static Jacks have been a busy bunch. Two tours of the States and two of Europe / the UK have happened, with the band sharing stages with the likes of Howler, The Cribs and The Wombats along the way (famously appearing at Brixton Academy in February with the latter).
They're currently showing no signs of slowing down, either – the band are back on the road in the US this week, again lending support to The Wombats on a 13 date tour (23 April – 9 May) – which includes notable appearances at Webster Hall in NYC and the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.
Also, rather like Arctic Monkeys did after their debut LP, the band have just announced a new standalone 4-track EP, "Spray Tan" (a reference to the orange looking lady on the "Into The Sun" single, we wonder?), will be released next month to bridge the gap between first and second albums.
Recorded with producer Andrew Maury (also the producer of debut EP "Laces") in five fast days last summer, we're told, the opening track "Young Guns" displays a rough and ready grit we've come to associate with their live shows, and is as hard hitting and memorable as anything on their debut album. Pick it up for free below, and if you're heading out to any of current dates, expect to hear it in the set alongside the other newbies.
Q&A with Sean Moeller of Daytrotter
April 9th, 2012 • Interview
Tags: Channel Cairo, Chuch Studios, COMMUNION, Daytrotter, Horseshack Studios, Illinois, Rock Island, Sean Moeller, The Static Jacks
Sean Moeller is the founder of Daytrotter.com, a website based in the small town of Rock Island in Illinois, USA.
Live sessions, typically around 4-5 tracks, are recorded onto vintage 1/4 Inch tape at Daytrotter's Horseshack Studios (also in Rock Island, but several more have sprung up across the US) as bands pass through the town on their national tours, and are posted up online alongside some analysis from Moeller and a unique illustration of the band / artist – something that's become a real USP for the site.
Since its inception in 2006, Daytrotter has hosted sessions from bands like MGMT, Bon Iver, The National, Wilco, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Local Natives, Fleet Foxes, The Naked And Famous, Two Door Cinema Club, Anna Calvi, The Vaccines and Youth Lagoon, amongst countless others, leading to the site being featured in publications such The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. Recently, a Daytrotter studio has opened up here in London, which has enabled many UK artists to feature on the site – recent tapings this side of the pond have included the likes of Dry The River, Kyla La Grange, Bombay Bicycle Club, Metronomy, Bastille and Slow Club.
Quite often, bands feature on the site before they fully break into the public consciousness, and as such Daytrotter rightly declares itself as a place to discover your new favourite band.
We've been aware of the site for a little while, but have taken a larger interest of late due to two of our bands, The Static Jacks and Channel Cairo, being featured. With both their sessions appearing online in recent weeks, we thought it was high time to pose some questions to Sean about it all – his aims and motivations for doing it, as well as what's to come from Daytrotter in the future.
LFC: What inspired you to start Daytrotter?
Sean: I started the site with a couple buddies really just to try and make something different and special – something that would allow me to give a platform to bands that I thought were better than most of the bands that I read about in magazines. I just thought that if there was a way for us to put bands in a most natural environment and recording them without much fanfare, with vintage equipment, straight to tape, the results would be good and people could easily appreciate them. There would be little to no bullshit. The music could just shine through.
LFC: To someone who hasn't come across Daytrotter – what exactly is it, and what's the site's aim/ethos?
Sean: We're a website that records bands passing through our main analog studio here in Rock Island, Ill. (and a few others out there in the world) and features those songs for people to listen to on our site. We hope we're a place where people have open ears and are willing to discover things they've never heard of. We just like the idea of getting great music into as many ears as possible and letting people decide for themselves, rather than get caught up in any hype that is too easy to find out there these days.
LFC: Aside from bands passing through to record sessions for you, is there much of an independent music scene where you're based on the Illinois / Iowa border?
Sean: No, not really. We're trying to change that. We've got some things up our sleeves. We usually have to get to Iowa City to link up with great shows. Though, surprisingly, a couple nights a year, Maquoketa, Iowa is about as cool of a place as you can ever go to hear music.
LFC: Of all the bands who have recorded Daytrotter sessions over the years, who have been the most memorable?
Sean: Really, honestly and truly, they all stand out for different reasons. It's a big 'ol bag of memories, all of them. It's damn near impossible to think about what we're trying to do over here without thinking about it as a whole. These aren't individual moments for me, but more a whole. That's what means the most to me.
LFC: Apart from the original studio in Rock Island, where are the other Daytrotter sites?
Sean: We have studios that we currently use in London, San Francisco, Nashville, Austin, Montreal and Asheville, NC.
LFC: How did setting up the studio in London come about?
Sean: We got to become really good buddies with the killer people at Communion and our values and tastes align so well that we couldn't keep our hands off of one another. We just had to work together and so this is just the start of a relationship that I think is going to continue to grow and become something really amazing. We're looking forward to seeing where it goes. Our studio over there is gorgeous and the two engineers we're working with – Ian Grimble and Rich Matthews – are wizards. It's a wonderful extension of our team here in Rock Island and we couldn't be happier about the results so far.
LFC: What's your criteria when booking a band for a Daytrotter session?
Sean: It's very simple: If I like it we'll try to make something happen. If I don't like it, the band doesn't stand a chance. Ha.
LFC: Are there any big names you'd like to get on the site, or are you happy with focusing on emerging talent?
Sean: I want Willie Nelson, Jay-Z, Alabama and Radiohead to come visit us.
LFC: How do you search for new talent? Is it mainly on the internet, or word of mouth?
Sean: It's about half and half. I get a lot of recommendations and tips from bands that we've recorded in the past and friends that I trust. Mostly it's just me bouncing around Bandcamp and Soundcloud pages. It's amazing what you can find.
LFC: What's next for Daytrotter?
Sean: It's actually just a lot of the same, but we should have some very big news coming in the fall. It's not the right time to let the cat or cats out of the bag just yet. All in due time, my good friend.

Tags: Bruce Springsteen, Channel Cairo, Daytrotter, If You're Young, Into The Sun, Mercy Hallelujah, San Francisco, The Misfits, The Static Jacks
Whilst on their tour of the US and Canada in November last year, The Static Jacks recorded a session for the legendary Daytrotter in San Francisco.
The LFC 7″ single tracks, "Into The Sun" and "Mercy, Hallelujah", are both included, the latter an alternative take "played like The Smashing Pumpkins would". Honouring their New Jersey roots, short covers The Misfits and Bruce Springsteen also made the cut, as did a couple of other tracks from their debut full-length "If You're Young".
Listen to the session in full here, and watch out for one from Channel Cairo coming soon, which was recorded at Daytrotter's new studio in London's Crouch End last month.

Following on from our announcement a few weeks back that The Static Jacks would be touring Europe this month, they've added several new dates in both the UK and on the continent.
As before, the run includes three dates supporting The Wombats, which will make TSJ the first LFC Records band to play at the O2 Academy in Brixton, and now there are also shows supporting Band Of Skulls (at London's XOYO), as well as fellow countrymen Grouplove (in Brighton) and Howler (in Paris).
The band are on the road to promote their debut full-length, "If You're Young", which is out through Fearless Records on 5 March. The double A-sided 7″ vinyl of "Into The Sun" / "Mercy, Hallelujah" (which we put out late last year) will be on sale on the tour, or you can pick one up before it all kicks off, from our shop.
Check out this video of the band finishing their set at Koko in November with "Into The Sun":

Hope you all had a good weekend, and if you came down to see Deep Sea Arcade on Friday, thank you. It was great fun. This morning, we've got a lot of news about our next 7″ release from New Jersey's greatest band The Static Jacks. We've give it to you bit by bit, here goes:
The official video to the A-side of the single "Into The Sun" is now out, and you can watch it in all its glory above. Like all great music videos, we think it adds an extra dimension to an already very strong, fist-pumping track. Have a look and see what you think.
The 7″ vinyl ("Into The Sun" b/w the Made In Chelsea featuring "Mercy, Hallelujah"), out on 28 November, is now available to pre-order from the Laissez Faire Club shop. There are only 300 copies being pressed, and the first 50 will come with an exclusive, unique photograph taken by the band on their tour with The Wombats across the US & Canada – which is still in progress as we speak. You might get a picture of them partying with Murph backstage in Ohio. It might be an open road in Arkansas, or an all-American diner in Louisiana. We don't know, and we're as excited as anyone to get hold of one. It's Ebay gold if nothing else.
UK dates! Yes, the band are making their first ever trip across the pond later this month to promote the aforementioned release, and will play the following:
Thursday 24 November – 100 Club w/ Eagulls, Mazes
Friday 25 November – Club NME @ Koko w/ The Dancers
Saturday 26 November – O2 Academy, Bristol w/ Alabama 3
Monday 28 November – LFC night @ The Social (Single Launch Party) w/ Ice Black Birds, Fractures TICKETS / TICKET + SEVEN INCH BUNDLE DEAL
And finally, "Into The Sun" will be making its national radio debut on Charlie Ashcroft's 'Audition' show on Amazing Radio this afternoon, at 1300 GMT. It'll be repeated on Sunday 13 November, at 1600 GMT. After today's show, listeners can vote for their favourite track, and the one with most votes will make the station's main playlist. So, you know, be sure to head over to the site (or send a Tweet to Charlie saying how much you love the song) and do the right thing.

Q&A with Andrew Maury of RAC
October 11th, 2011 • Interview
Tags: André Anjos, Andrew Maury, Channel Cairo, Givers, Headstrong, Interview, Into The Sun, New York City, Ra Ra Riot, RAC, Remix Artist Collective, The Collectable Few, The Static Jacks, Twenty
Andrew Maury is a New York City based producer, live sound engineer and remixer, who's come to prominence in the indie-rock world over the last few years due to his work with some great and exciting new artists within the genre.
Alongside working front-of-house for bands like Ra Ra Riot and Givers, Andrew produces bands and also remixes tracks under the RAC (Remix Artist Collective) banner.
Our paths have crossed over the last twelve months due to his involvement with three of the four bands currently signed to our singles label – The Collectable Few, Channel Cairo and The Static Jacks.
All bands have had the "RAC Maury Mix" treatment, with Andrew's interpretation of The Collectable Few's "Headstrong" being officially released by us this past January (he also mixed the original version, which was the lead track). Andrew is credited on production duties for The Static Jacks' 2009 EP, "Laces", and continues to work with The Collectable Few on their latest recordings. His most recent remix is of The Static Jacks' "Into The Sun", which premiered on Rolling Stone's web-site on 29 September. The original version will see the light of day in the UK through us next month (click here for full details on that).
With all this in common (and seemingly seeing eye-to-eye about up and coming guitar bands) we thought we ought to find out a bit more about the man and his modus operandi…
LFC: How did you first get into live sound, music production and remixing?
Andrew: Each of those paths started at different points, but are all certainly related. I grew up playing guitar in bands through middle school and high school. I was the guy who had the PA system and kind of "ran" the band events. I even directed my high school talent show! Music, sound, and stage have always been in my blood. Things took shape during college when I became friends with Ra Ra Riot and their manager, Josh Roth. I went to Syracuse University, which is where Ra Ra Riot formed and were playing house parties during their senior year. They graduated in 2006 and started touring and making a name for themselves.
Around the same time, I was still in college and had just discovered RAC. After some net surfing, I deduced that a guy named André Anjos was behind it. He was remixing in a style I had never heard or imagined… his arrangements were so original and inventive, using the original tracks of the song in new contexts which were so exciting and concise. I decided to take a stab at remixing a Ra Ra Riot song (given that I was friends with them and had easy access to their studio tracking). I cold emailed André the first draft of my remix and we kind of hit it off. I dug up a few other remix gigs for myself, and within about 3 months André asked me if I wanted to join RAC and team up with him. Since then, the platform for which I procure remixes has been entirely fueled by my association with RAC and the reputation we've been building over the years.
By the time I graduated college in 2008, Ra Ra Riot had just put out their first album, and they gave me a shot at doing live sound for their headlining tour. It was trial by fire at first, but I've been with them for just over 3 years now and I've learned the ropes pretty quickly. New challenges still present themselves as we continue to play larger and larger venues. I've been fortunate to have met dozens of bands on the road – some leading to other opportunities to mix front of house. In addition to Ra Ra Riot, I tour pretty consistently with GIVERS and have done a few one-off shows for Surfer Blood in NYC where I live.
Producing, recording, and mixing records is yet another tangent. Given all the experience remixing and doing live sound, it was becoming obvious to me that I also wanted to make records with bands. I had some experience dabbling in self-recording during college, and had taken a few courses related to audio recording. I even had a brief internship at a Brooklyn recording studio called Headgear before I started touring. But it all really started in 2009 off the heels of a tour with Ra Ra Riot when we were opening for Death Cab For Cutie. I became friends with DCFC guitarist Chris Walla, who is also a highly esteemed engineer and producer. After talking shop the whole tour, Chris asked me to come to LA for 2 weeks and be the Logic operator for Tegan & Sara's Sainthood. It was kind of the the coolest thing that ever happened to me… here I was at the world famous Sound City Studios with Chris, Tegan and Sara, their guitarist Ted Gowans, and Jason McGerr who was drumming on the record. Seeing and hearing a REAL record being made. I was running the computer while Chris and Howard Redekopp were producing and engineering the session. I learned so much so fast. It got my lexicon and studio etiquette up to speed.
That summer, I bought a 16 channel recording interface, some monitors, some microphones, and hit the ground running. Pulling from the network I had built remixing and touring, I ended up recorded and mixing the Laces EP for The Static Jacks, mixing The House Floor's Warship, and mixing Kisses' The Heart of the Nightlife. Later in the year, I went into the studio with Ra Ra Riot to engineer and co-produce their sophomore album, The Orchard.
For the past two years I've had a pretty exciting, steady stream of work touring, remixing, mixing, and recording!
LFC: What projects are you working on right now?
Andrew: This summer has been a lot of touring with GIVERS and Ra Ra Riot, but I've recently been wrapping up the mixing for the forthcoming Princeton record, which I recorded with them last summer. Its totally, totally unbelievable and I couldn't be more proud of it. I've also been mixing some early recordings for The Collectable Few. I can't get enough of them… they hit the nail on the head for so many of my influences and favorite music. I'm really hoping to continue to work with them in the future. They are special. I finished up a bunch of remixes for various artists recently too.
LFC: To the uninitiated, what exactly is RAC and what do they do?
Andrew: RAC is a team of three people who create music: André Anjos, Karl Kling, and myself. Our platform for work has largely been remixing for the last 4 years. We pride our remixes on a sonic brand we've developed. I think its safe to say that you know an RAC remix when you hear one. Much to our surprise and excitement, the RAC reputation has grown fast. We tend to remix indie/rock artists… like Tokyo Police Club, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Shins, Surfer Blood, Phoenix, etc. Early on we did a lot of remixes for smaller unsigned bands, but have been moving into doing larger acts. RAC also has a touring DJ component, which André and Karl do together. They have been DJing some huge shows recently! We are also looking to start producing records at a certain point. The future is bright for RAC.
LFC: What do you try to achieve in a remix?
Andrew: If its a band that's hired me to remix a song, I often listen to the original once or twice before I start the remix to refresh myself with the melodies and highlights. Then I'll drop all the multi-track files into Logic and just go. I'm always attempting to reinvent the song while still paying homage to the original. The magic in remixing comes from striking a balance between using the original multi-track and recording my own newly composed tracks. It gets to a point where I'm interacting with the song, and it actually feels as though it starts to write itself. I sometimes will listen back to the original song days after I've been immersed in my remix, and I'll be shocked how strangely different the original feels. If anything, I try to invent a whole new world for the song.
LFC: Do you have a favourite RAC Maury Mix?
Andrew: I don't think I could pick one, but my top 5 are:
Lenka – Trouble Is A Friend
Lacrymosa – Good At Heart
Surfer Blood – Take It Easy
Phoenix – 1901
aaaaaaand… a remix that releases october 24 for a rather huge artist which I'm VERY excited about!
LFC: What are the ups and downs of a career in sound engineering?
Andrew: Ups: incredible fun. The work is so rewarding. For me, the career is doing what I can't get enough of anyway. You meet hundreds of cool people every year. Some of the people you meet are rather famous, and may even be people you grew up inspired by.
Downs: its extremely competitive and difficult work. Self-imposed neurosis levels can be pretty intense. When you are mixing a live show in front of 1200 people, or recording a band with a large reputation, or mixing a record which will be the thing that the artist and public will hear forever, the stakes can feel really high.
LFC: What advice would you offer to someone looking to get into your field?
Andrew: Get in tune with your opinions on music. Get inspired by records and sounds you love. Learn to separate what's amateur and what's pro. Go to shows. Meet as many people as you can. Be the nicest person you can be. Email young bands who you believe in. Impress people with your work. Take pride in your work. Take risks!
LFC: Who are the bands or artists most exciting you at the moment?
Andrew: I recently got into Dutch Uncles' new album Cadenza and Little Dragon's Machine Dream. I've also been on an extended kick loving Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca and My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. Working with bands is probably the most exciting though… feeling like you have a hand in creating something that others will learn about and discover. The Collectable Few tracks and this Princeton record I'm wrapping up fall in that category.

LFC004: The Static Jacks – "Into The Sun" / "Mercy, Hallelujah"
October 6th, 2011 • News
Tags: 7", Fearless Records, Fenway Recordings, If You're Young, Into The Sun, LAISSEZ FAIRE CLUB, Made In Chelsea, Mercy Hallelujah, New Jersey, The Static Jacks, vinyl, Westfield
We're very excited to officially announce our fourth and latest signing to the Laissez Faire Club singles label: Westfield, New Jersey's The Static Jacks.
After introducing them to you via this blog back in May, we're pleased to be able to bring you their first ever UK release, which will be a double A-sided 7″ single (limited to just 300 copies) featuring the hard and fast, hooky as hell, festival smash in waiting "Into The Sun" and the Cure-channeling "Mercy, Hallelujah". The record is expected to hit the shelves of all good independent record stores in late November.
Both tracks are taken from their recently released (and to date, critically acclaimed) full length "If You're Young", which came out in the States through Fearless Records at the end of August (and should see the light of day in the UK at some point in 2012).
The band are about to embark on a mammoth US tour with The Wombats and The Postelles (if you live in any of these cities, perhaps head on down), and we expect to announce some UK shows very soon indeed. Keep checking back for any such developments. In the meantime, listen to the single in full below, and watch two very different versions of the lead track.

We're not sure why New Jersey garage-rock quartet The Static Jacks have to date not featured on these pages. In any case, there's no time like the present, and with the fresh-faced, all-American four piece set to release their debut long player "If You're Young" on 30 August in the States (through Fearless), this is probably as good a time as any to shout about them.
If you like your indie rock uncomplicated, impassioned and hook filled, you'll most likely enjoy TSJ. Think The Clash, The Libertines, The Paddingtons and The Cribs with an American twist, or early Strokes. Vocalist Ian Devaney's sing-it-like-you-mean-it, up-and-at-'em growl lures the listener in from the outset, before the water-tight musicianship and hooks bowl you over and leave you wanting more after the songs clock in at around three minutes (if that).
The band have been making waves on their native East Coast for a little while now, playing all the right shows: support slots with the likes of Titus Andronicus, Tokyo Police Club, The Futureheads and Young The Giant, as well as appearances at SXSW and the CMJ Music Marathon in 2010. A self-released, Andrew Maury produced EP in early 2010 contained a sure fire hit in 'My Parents Lied', no doubt keeping them on the radar of many an Internet tastemaker.
One suspects they're building up a solid grass roots following at their side of the pond, before taking the show over to the UK and Europe later on this year (we'll be keeping an eye out for any such news). In the meantime, check out 'Girl Parts', a free download they've just dished up, which features Ceci Gomez of Brooklyn punk outfit Beast Make Bomb on guest vocals, and is also a first taste of what to expect from their aforementioned debut album.

One of our favorite meals is hamburgers. They are easy to grill and the whole family loves them! I recently received a Stuffed Burger Press from Good Cook and it has taken our burger making to a whole new level! Think of all of the ingredients that you could stuff inside a burger!
Since I am in love with the flavors of summer, I decided to try a Caprese burger. The ground beef was mixed with balsamic dressing. Just add about 2 tablespoons of balsamic dressing to 3/4 pound of ground beef. Place a limp of ground beef in the bottom of the burger press and flatten. Once a well was made to hold the stuffed ingredients, I added mozzarella cheese and a teaspoon of basil pesto. Place additional ground beef on top and press to seal.
I used the Good Cook Cast Iron Grill to cook my caprese burgers. This cast iron pan is amazing! It is very heavy duty. It makes grilling possible even when there is bad weather outside!
When the burger was cooked, I placed it on a bun with tomato and some fresh basil leaves. There was no need for extra condiments, the burger was nice a juicy. It was packed with flavor too!
Good Cook is holding a Get Stuffed Burger Challenge that starts on September 3rd and this is my entry! I am entering in the all beef burger category. Once the contest is live, I would love your votes! You can vote up to 3 times within a 24hr period. Each vote qualifies to enter into the drawing to win 1 of 10 Good Cook Burger Stuffing Kit. I know you would like to received your own burger stuffer and cast iron grill! The contest will be live on GoodCook.com.
If you just can't wait to own your own burger stuffer, here is a 25% off coupon to goodcook.com for the Good Cook Burger Tools.

Disclaimer: Alas, nothing belongs to me. CSIM belongs to Jerry B andthe writersand producers. CBS and Alliance Atlantis also own their own piece of the famed CSI: Vegas spin-off. So please don't sue me. You won't get anything out of me anyway.
Spoilers: None I don't think. This happens way before Felony Flight (last weeks eppy) and Nailed (Next weeks eppy).
Summary: They trusted him. He turned. He got out. No one's safe.
Dedications: To everyone I know whether it be in real life or on the H/C Yahoo group. You all rock!
Rating: Hard to say right now. I want to say either T or M or whatever R is nowadays.
Paring: H/C (of course), E/M. In case you're clueless to who M is it's Megan Donner. If you don't like heryou might want to leave.
A/N: Who's up to joining Ryan Haters United? Lol. Anyways, I know what happens to thepoor guy and I feel sorry about it but I still don't like him.
Life had never struck a chord with hard-nosed lieutenant Horatio Caine. Life was just one of those things that never interested him. Nothing ever interested him. Horatio was a one-man army in his mind; a mind that was forever warped by the crimes he saw on a day-to-day basis. One after another, after another, after another, each crime coming close to striking that mentality that was hardly there. He never even knew he had it till one case came too close for comfort.
Jamie Yvette, a young Harvard Law graduate vacationing in Florida before her big "associate" move, was murdered by a dirty cop. Horatio had dealt with dirty cops before but never one that he knew. Ryan Wolfe, a replacement for the late Tim Speedle, had turned. The big shocker was that he trusted Ryan, a rare thing for a CSI/ detective. Trust no one, people had said but the one rule every other cop lived by was never established in his "list of rules to go by". Horatio trusted everyone on his team. They were family to him as was he the father figure most didn't have.
Ryan couldn't handle the fact that I trusted him. He knew he was going to turn from the start. That was his mantra. He continually told himself that same thing over and over again. Nothing could really change those words. The team, his team, never understood the real meaning of them but Horatio did. He lived by them since he saw Ryan, his own man, being escorted by a uniform to booking. That image haunted the whole team. One man had changed their lives. One man had shattered it. That same man they had taken in and trusted.
Suddenly it all had changed. The sturdiest team on dayshift had crumbled. Everyone around them, Valera, Alexx, Frank and even Yelena who was in Brazil, knew it was coming and they all witnessed it. Calleigh moved back to New Orleans, Eric moved to Chicago, and Horatio moved to Tampa. Shocked at it all Alexx never said good-bye. The last thing she wanted was to loose her friends. It happened and then some.
They never kept in touch. They didn't seem to think it was necessary. What Horatio thought was irrelevant so he went on with his life much to his disliking. He wanted to know how they were all doing. No one else wanted to talk. The team's high spirit they had for three years was gone. No one cared what the other thought. No one wanted to know what the other thought. It was pure and simple, they all had moved on. Something was about to change.

Room Finder
Finding a Good Room for you
Realize what you need
Know your prerequisites for a rental. Is area the most essential criteria? Then again, maybe there is a sure enhancement you need, for example, secured stopping, a rec center or having your own washer/dryer in the unit. However, in the meantime, be reasonable so your rundown of absolute necessities won't confine you. In the event that your necessities aren't offered at a specific property, then proceed onward. Try not to anticipate that a proprietor will include an absurd measure of enhancements or moves up to a current rental. There are regularly other rentable houses accessible that will address your issues.
Speak with the proprietor or the room finder
You don't should be closest companions with your future proprietor, however you'll should have the capacity to have a working association with the individual. When you're petitioning the rental, get some information about their "arrangement of principles" for leaseholders to help gage desires. Likewise ask different inquiries you may have, for example, whether there is an on location upkeep individual to handle repairs rapidly or how month to month rental installments are made.
Check the Rent Zestimate
While its no doubt understood that New York City rentals are on the top of the line — what about a New York City flat with 400 square feet of living space for $2,250 a month — you may not know off the highest point of your head what great rentals go for in your general vicinity. Look in, out and all around rental postings, and look at the Rent Zestimate to get a thought of whether the stroll up you have your eye on is justified regardless of the cost.
Be careful with tricks
While we'd like to think everybody is fair and aware of one another, shockingly, that is not generally the situation. Tricks are a reality of the Web. Continuously be careful about giving individual data, money related data or installments to anybody you don't know by and by. Uncertain of whether the rental posting is authentic?
Look at some other articles and sites on room finder that can help you get the room that you want. So, if you follow these steps, you can get the best and the right option for you.

Recently featured by Alex Baker at Kerrang! Radio, Christian Carlisle at BBC Radio Sheffield, and even Joe Elliot-Hobson at Doncaster's Sine FM, the South Yorkshire duo, Seconds Apart, are in the run up to their EP release on the 4th July 2016. Shortly following the release of singles 'More' and 'Young/Naïve' earlier this year, we have been waiting for these tracks to be released alongside some exciting new material on the highly-anticipated Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder. This week, we have another exclusive review, as Lippy have been given the chance to head behind the scenes and take a listen to the alt-rocker's EP before the official release date!
Produced by Ben Sansom from well-known Lower Than Atlantis, Seconds Apart are proud to have worked with someone they have always looked up to on such a personal and reflective masterpiece. This successful partnership is evident throughout the course of the EP, as guitarist, Owen Claxton, states that Sansom added so much whilst keeping the true Seconds Apart vibe alive in light of their autobiographical tracks.
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder opens with previously released 'More', immediately punching with explosive guitars swaying towards the heavier side of alt-rock. These hard-cutting chords are mirrored within the chorus as vocalist and bassist, Martin Cartlidge, echoes the catchy "yeah, gimme more", before slipping into the more paced verse and bridge including lyrical snippets in preparation for a final bang in the last chorus.
'That Friday Feeling', a track completely relatable as we hit the weekend, is a clear example of the diversification this band is capable of. Surprising to fans of Seconds Apart, the band use sparkling synth throughout the track, perhaps in accordance to 'That Friday Feeling', fulfilling their listeners with the need to dance and feel it with them. The track also infuses pop-like vocal effects alongside edgy and hard-hitting guitar, providing a crossing of genre boundaries between rock, pop, and dance.
Second-to-last track and personal favourite, 'Young/Naïve', initiates with powerful hooks from guitar and vocals alike, alongside a snappy drumbeat which keeps the pace racing. "So young, naïve, with hearts on our sleeves" is simultaneously echoed with soulful vocals and by a bold yet faint screamo influence which heads into the perfectly layered chorus. Illusion inducing bass rings out into an atmospheric explosion of gritty vocals and crashing cymbals, representative of the fiery and vivacious energy that Seconds Apart promise within their live shows.
The EP comes to a close with 'Make Me Believe', which comes to a peak with an invigorating layering of guitar and the intoxicating vocals of the chorus. In line with its title, this song fulfils you with an energy you didn't realise you were missing due to successful lyrical musicianship. The track, and EP itself, represents a resolution of troubles with true faith and 'endless optimism', as quoted by Claxton.
Catch Seconds Apart at their headlining EP launch at Sheffield's widely-popular music venue Corporation on the 15th July to hear their new material live for the first time. With a distinct reputation for their energy and enthusiasm when playing a live show, the gig is sure to be a sell out, so grab your tickets quick to avoid disappointment! You can purchase them at just £5 in the Corporation link below.

Former Newcastle goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek (47) dies as decision taken to turn off life support machine
Former Newcastle goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek has died following a cardiac arrest.
The 47-year-old had been in an induced coma in the Czech Republic since collapsing while out jogging on December 20.
His agent, Steve Wraith, said in a statement: "It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the passing of former Newcastle United player Pavel Srnicek."
Srnicek made 150 appearances for Newcastle between 1991 and 1998 and went on to have spells with Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and West Ham before returning to St James' Park in 2006.
His release the following year brought an end to his playing career but he remained in the game and was working as goalkeeping coach at Sparta Prague when he collapsed.
The statement continued: "Pavel suffered a cardiac arrest before the Christmas period in his home country and had been in an induced coma in hospital with his close family around his bedside.
"Despite the best medical attention the final brain scans on Monday showed irreversible damage and the decision had to be taken to switch off the life support machine. Pav passed away on the afternoon of Tuesday, December 29 2015 with his family by his side.
"Pavel, the goalkeeping coach at Sparta Prague, had recently been on a whistle-stop tour of Tyneside to promote his autobiography, 'Pavel Is A Geordie', something that he was very proud of.
"My final conversation with him was about getting the entertainers team back together one more time for charity next year as it will be 20 years since that Newcastle team almost won the Premier League.
"We will make that happen and celebrate this great man's life together."
Tributes quickly began to pour in for Srnicek, one of Newcastle's best loved recent characters.
Alan Shearer wrote on Twitter: "So very, very sad to lose my friend and former teammate @PavelSrnicekUK My thoughts are with his family at this awful time. #NUFC #RIPPavel"
Fellow goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel said: "It is with incredible sadness that I've have learned that Pavel Srnicek has died. A gentleman and a great sportsman. RIP my friend"
Newcastle fans sang their support for Srnicek during the Boxing Day clash with Everton at the request of the Czech's family.
The club announced the news on their Twitter feed, saying: "It is with immense sadness that we confirm the passing of former #NUFC goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek today.
"Our deepest condolences go to Pavel's family, many friends, former colleagues and supporters at this very difficult time."
Long-serving former Toon keeper Steve Harper was a team-mate of Srnicek and he wrote: "A truly beautiful soul has left this world far too early!! Thank you so much for everything you did for me Pav."
Srnicek was born in Ostrava, beginning his senior career with Banik Ostrava, and he was capped 49 times by the Czech Republic.
In a tribute to Srnicek on their website, Sparta Prague said: "We will never forget you, Pavel!"

"A substantiated proof that the world has a vast majority of people only fools is that the history shows that a genius born in every generation has been regularly treated bad to make him sad & always considered mad by the public; so a thought-provoking question is how could a person who often gets the support of good number of the people be ever good truly to others."

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel. From each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a chief among them." Numbers 13:1-2
Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are." So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them."Then all the congregation raised a loud cry, and the people wept that night. And all the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?" And they said to one another, "Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt." Numbers 13:31-14:4
It is bad enough when God's people make decisions for themselves out of a spirit of fear; it is a whole different level of bad when we spread that fear like an infectious disease in accord with some ungodly agenda to scare people into agreeing with us. …

And he told her all his heart, and said to her, "A razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man." Judges 16:17
I in them and you in me,that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. John 17:23
I remember Samson (of the Bible) holding "superhero" status in my mind as a child. Studying his tragic story now as an adult, I realize his character flaws throw a very different light on his super-human power. Isn't that what intrigues us about God's story? It is told through the lives of so many horribly flawed–even dysfunctional–people.
That is one of the ways of God: to use markedly flawed people to accomplish His will. It is intriguing about Samson and it is intriguing about the church. We are all flawed, and yet (like Samson) we, the church, are filled with God's Spirit and collectively empowered to represent His spiritual authority in this world. Samson was a tragically flawed hero of God's story, and Christ's eklesia is likewise embarrassingly flawed. I've written about that here.
But also like Samson, the church has a peculiar source of its strength…a "lynch pin", if you will, to all that empowerment God promises us. For Samson, it was his hair. But for the church, it is our relationships with one another.
We can talk about the power of prayer (if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven); we can talk about …

And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel…And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. Judges 2:7, 10
If I were to even begin a list of the men and women who poured into me spiritually as a child and as a teenager and as a college student and as a young adult, I would probably inadvertently leave out more names than the hundred or so that I can remember! It is one of the many blessings of having grown up in the church. I was given many, many stories and opportunities to learn about the work of God in the generation(s) before mine. Those stories have no doubt colored my understanding of and thirst for unity among God's people.
Unity is all about relationships. And relationships are all about communication. And few obstacles to meaningful communication can be more perplexing than the very different cultural frameworks developed within generations. But doesn't a Biblical worldview impose upon us a responsibility to communicate well across generational lines, so that God's story is told seamlessly across time and His people continue to grow in their faith?
So, as I study and contemplate the plight of the nation of Israel in Judges 2, and then begin to draw applications to my own life, I am prompted to pray this way…
Lord, show me your ways and your hand in my life today, and then help me tell those stories to the next generation. Bolster my testimony of when I have seen you……

Looking back at the hundred-or-so conflicted congregations with whom I have been called to consult over the last couple of decades, here is an important observation: only a small handful (or so) of them had a strong small group ministry. The vast majority of them either had no small group ministry or they had a tired, ineffective small group or Sunday School ministry. I believe there is a correlation. I believe there is a direct relationship between small group ministries and church unity.
For some decades now, church leaders have been recognizing the importance of small groups as a critical tool for Spiritual formation (or for Spiritual "transformation", depending on whose vernacular you favor). We have all begun to see that, only in the intimacy and accountability of a small group of friends gathered together around the Word of God, can we live the life God has called us to live and become the Christians God has called us to become. It was true in the lives of the apostles (the first small group ever) and it is still true today. Whether you call them Sunday School, Bible Study, home groups, cell groups, prayer groups, gospel communities, support groups or recovery groups doesn't matter. They all have slightly different aims, but one reality is the same for all of them: creating a safe environment with equal parts grace and truth and where we "lean into" one another's lives is where real Spiritual transformation occurs.
But I will take this observation one step further. Because small groups are such a powerful tool for Spiritual transformation, they are also a key ingredient to unity in a local body of believers. Why? Because Spiritual formation is a key ingredient to unity. If the Spirit Himself is the central figure in all questions about …

And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer." Mark 9:26-29
I can still remember the first church dispute I officially mediated. I had been involved in literally hundreds of mediations as an attorney/mediator, many involving issues worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Then there was this conflict in a tiny church involving a dozen or so people and I thought to myself, "How hard can this be?" I remember whispering a short prayer or two on my way to the church, thinking this would be a simple matter to iron out…three, maybe four hours, tops. Two days later, the church was split, the pastor was gone, and I had almost certainly done more damage than good. It was easily the most humbling experience of my life.
The lesson there had nothing to do with mediation skills. It had everything to do with prayer.
Working through conflict and entanglement among God's people almost always presents problems at a spiritual level. Hence, using merely secular problem-solving models and processes will never be adequate. Relevant, perhaps…maybe even helpful; but not adequate in and of itself. Spiritual problems require Spiritual solutions…and ALL spiritual solutions bubble up out of deep and meaningful prayer. To ever expect otherwise is, well, spiritually immature.
Peacemaking among God's people is far more than just surface-level problem solving, and it involves a great deal more than just compromise and negotiation. Spiritual solutions involve …

Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you…Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:5, 7-8
Leadership changes are scary…and not just the political ones. Leadership changes at church are just as troublesome. None are more scary than changing shepherds of a congregation. Having served on pastor search teams myself, and having trained dozens of other such teams and processes for various churches and organizations, I have lots of stories of the many "pitfalls" and traps which await us when it comes to prayerfully searching for a new shepherd. So, for those of you who find this topic relevant, here are three mistakes Pastor search teams often make:
1. Making it a secular process. As laymen, we all bring whatever experiences and expertise we may have from our industries to our ministry, and it would be easy to think of the pastor search process as primarily (or essentially) a human resources process. But it is not…not primarily. Rather, it is first and foremost a spiritual discernment process. And as with any spiritual discernment process, it should bubble up out of deep and humbling gathered prayer. Indeed, prayer should not only be foundational and central to the process, but it …

Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, "Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer or pay attention. And she named the child Ichabod, saying,"The glory has departed from Israel!" because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. And she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured." 1 Samuel 4:19-22
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46
It was actually more years ago than I can remember…I was sitting with a church leader while her church was in the midst of turmoil and conflict and she was sharing the litany of painful circumstances that had befallen her church. It was just one horrible thing after another after another after another. It was startling. And then she said this: "It feels like God has written 'Ichabod' over our door. We are a God-forsaken church." I had a vague recollection of the biblical reference but will admit to you now I had to go back and read the story again out of 1 Samuel.
Eli (the priest) had sent his two ungodly sons into war with all their Israeli brothers in arms to fight the Philistines. It did not go well. Both sons were killed. Israel was horribly defeated. and the Arc of …

Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18:21-22
The kingdom of Heaven is like when you're driving home on Friday evening and the interstate is a parking lot with cars bumper to bumper for like miles and miles and there is this one pitiful car trying desperately to get in line but nobody will let him in because everybody is being a jerk and this poor guy is sitting there with his blinker on waiting and waiting and waiting and so you decide to be the good guy and you let him get in front of you. Good job. You are a Christ-like person. But then along comes another pitiful soul in the exact same situation and he pulls up along side the first guy hoping the first guy will let him get in front of him because he's thinking, "this guy just had mercy shown to him so surely he will show a little mercy as well" and, frankly, you're thinking the same thing which is why you are so angry when the first guy WON'T BUDGE and will not show any mercy at all to the second guy. Suddenly, you're not thinking nice things anymore. You just want to do physical harm to the first guy's car for being such a jerk. You're thinking, "Hey, I showed you some mercy, what's your problem!?" And that is like the kingdom of heaven.
As a church mediator working with conflicted congregations, I have come to believe that the sin posing the most significant threat to church unity today is the sin of unforgiveness. I cannot …

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" Matthew 6:25-27
I love the musical musings of Bobby McFerrin. He has an amazing creativity and an incredible vocal instrument. But I'm no fan of the philosophy behind his old song: "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Here's why:
I am not a worrier…at least I do not think I am. Oh, I do worry. Some. But I don't think of myself that way. Still, maybe I am a worrier but just not very self-aware. Could that be possible? If so, then maybe I actually worry a great deal more than I think I do. In fact, maybe it is a huge problem for me but I am just not very connected to that reality. And maybe I worry so much (without realizing it) that I could actually have a heart attack or a stroke one day because of it. Maybe I am killing myself slowly every single day and don't even realize it. It is possible, you know. I could die any day now.
🙂 See how easy it is to worry?
I am not claiming any expertise as a worrier, but I am definitely no stranger to the notion. I have had a few stressful seasons in my life. Three years ago, my ministry's Board of Directors passed the largest, most challenging budget in our ministry's history. …

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Matthew 4:1
The church in America is in the wilderness. That's not such a bad place to be. It's a difficult place, often a painful place, but it's a place God often leads his people when He has some difficult lessons to teach them or preparations to be made. And the American church certainly has some difficult lessons to learn. Moses learned in the wilderness, as did Elijah. The people of Israel learned in the wilderness. And Jesus went there as well, where he experienced some critical "perspective builders" in the form of temptations. The American church, while in the wilderness, is experiencing temptations as well. If there were ever a story written about it, the way Jesus' story in the wilderness has been written, the enemy's temptations of the church might go something like this…
I. The devil said to them, "If you are the Church of God, tell these people to become members." As bread represents a basic necessity for our body, believers (i.e., members) represent a basic necessity for the Church. There is not a church leader anywhere who, when describing the church he/she serves, is not tempted to describe it at some level in terms of number of members. It is one way we measure our effectiveness in mission. Every evangelistic outreach is measured this way. And since we all want to be seen as "successful", the temptation here is to move as many bodies as possible from the "prospect" category to the "member" category as quickly as possible. The temptation is to use emotional pleas, scare tactics, or other forms of manipulation toward an all-important "decision". And what the church is left with, especially over the long term, …
