The Out Door
Number 25
The 25th edition of the Out Door explores album cover art, sound installation, drone, and acoustic guitar albums recorded under strange circumstances.
By Marc Masters and Grayson Currin , July 27, 2012
II: Robert Beatty: Art for Artists' Sake
If you've followed underground music at all in the past decade, you've likely heard the work of Robert Beatty, either through his band Hair Police, his contributions to C. Spencer Yeh's Burning Star Core, or his solo project Three Legged Race. But lately you're more likely to have seen his work-- Beatty has been phenomenally busy crafting cover art for a wealth of acts, from Oneohtrix Point Never to Peaking Lights to Real Estate.

Many of Beatty's covers recall airbrushed rock albums of the 1970s, but his use of computer-manipulated collage and hand-drawn art, along with his knack for vivid colors and textures, transform that style. Often his work feels hallucinatory, yet it's always grounded in reality and geometry. "Some of it is worked out from the beginning, but a lot of it is process-oriented," he says. "It's the same way I play music-- I just sit down and start drawing or making shapes in the computer, and see where it goes."
You can also hear that intuitive feel in the music of Three Legged Race. Crafted primarily with a Realistic MG-1-- "the Radio Shack version of a Moog synth from the early 80s," Beatty explains-- his work under this moniker was at first somewhat abstract, but lately he's moved toward more melodic territory. Persuasive Barrier, his first full-length coming soon on Spectrum Spools, furthers that direction. "There are a few pieces that are like Martin Denny synth things, with an exotica vibe," he says. "Almost like Library Music, but not directly referencing that stuff." And of course, the cover art is by Beatty himself.

Three Legged Race: "Persuasive Barrier"
We recently asked Beatty to describe the ideas and processes behind some of his recent artwork. He spoke to us by phone from his home in Lexington, KY.
Wooden Wand: Briarwood [Fire, 2011]
RB: I made a cover for a Wooden Wand Hassara record that came out on Three Lobed in 2007, and I've known James for a long time, so I had an idea from the beginning of what would fit with the music. I got a desert vibe for some reason, and I just went with that. I was looking at the John Fahey record America-- the insert is a foldout by this artist named Patrick Finnerty. It's this weird sequential drawing of turtles and snakes in the desert. It almost looks like a comic book, but there's not really any narrative. I've always loved that. So that was a starting point, but I tried taking it in different direction. I started with the snake and the dunes and then filled it out with geometric stuff.
Idiot Glee: Paddywhack [Moshi Moshi, 2011]
RB: James Friley of Idiot Glee is a good friend of mine who lives in Lexington. I helped him record some of the record, and I've been hearing those songs for years. So it was more personal than most of the covers I've done.
Pitchfork: What inspired you to use a soda can?
RB: Well, James doesn't drink, because he's Mormon. But he always hangs around drunk people and gives them rides home [laughs]. He's always drinking a Coke or an Ale-8, a regional Kentucky soft drink. So that made me think, this cover should just be a soda can. I wanted it to be like the first 10cc record with the big bubble letters. I've always loved that cover.
"I'm a fan of very warm, washed-out color palates.
If you put everything I've ever done on a grid,
it would look sort of yellowish-orange."
Pitchfork: This has a more a realistic look than most of your covers.
RB: I was going for that. A lot of 70s airbrush art has that weird, almost-could-be-real aspect to it. I actually measured a can and laid it out to exact dimensions in Illustrator. It might have been easier if I knew how to do 3D stuff in the computer-- I could have downloaded a can someone had already made and shaded it. But then it probably wouldn't end up looking the way it did.
Outer Space: Akashic Record [Spectrum Spools, 2012]
RB: I've tried to make covers for people that were this abstract before, but they've never really stuck. People usually want more concrete elements, A lot of the process for this wasn't actually working on the cover-- it was just talking to John Elliott (of Outer Space and Emeralds) about his ideas and inspirations for the record. His main two were the Challenger explosion and a young girl who was murdered when he was a kid in the town he grew up in. I made the cover mostly with collaged photographs of the explosion and the girl, heavily manipulated in Photoshop. Those are very big events and I didn't want to reference them too directly. I tried to convey them without being heavy-handed.
Pitchfork: The colors are very vivid-- how do you approach color in your art?
RB: Tweaking the colors is usually the last thing I do. I'm a fan of very warm, washed-out color palates. If you put everything I've ever done on a grid, it would look sort of yellowish-orange. Here I was going for an eerie, ghostly feel, almost like a holograph of a living room, or a domestic scene being torn apart by some other dimension. There's a wallpaper pattern, and a lamp in the middle you can make out if you look hard enough. So I basically made a scene and then destroyed and obscured it.
Eric Lanham: The Sincere Interruption [Spectrum Spools, 2012]
RB: There's a filmmaker named Paul Glabicki who does abstract geometric animation-- Eric's band Caboladies did a show at Northwestern University where they played a live soundtrack to one of his films. So I had his work in mind, and the way he uses abstract shapes. I wanted to have lots of movement on the cover, because the music is super dynamic but also very abstract.
"Often when I'm making a cover,
I view it as a still from a non-existent film."
Pitchfork: Do moving images influence your art?
RB: Yeah, animation and experimental film have influenced my visual aesthetic more than anything. There's a Polish filmmaker named Piotr Kamler, and his films blew my mind. They're stop motion, but there's also some airbrushed stuff, and some claymation-type stuff. It's really far out there-- I have no idea how he made some of it. That was a big influence on me when I started doing these airbrush-style covers.
Often when I'm making a cover, I view it as a still from a non-existent film. I'm a huge fan of Graphis, and they have a series of books that are just stills from commercials and animation and movies. I take so much from seeing stuff like that, where it's just one still and you have no idea what the final product is, but it's almost better than seeing the whole film.
Peaking Lights: Lucifer [Mexican Summer, 2012]
RB: The band sent me a sketch that was just simple cursive letters done on a diagonal, and they wanted it in blue neon. It's cool because I really like working with text, and I've always wanted to do a cover that was just text. It reminds me of those Cluster and Neu! records where there's just one word across the cover.
Pitchfork: Did they tell you why they wanted to do it this way?
RB: They wanted the word Lucifer to have its pre-Christian meaning-- Lucifer as humanist. Originally the back of the record was going to say "bringer of light," which I think is the original meaning of the word Lucifer. So they wanted it to have a light, airy feel, rather than the heavier imagery usually associated with that word. I've kind of been amazed at the great response to that one. It's so simple, and that's something I wish I could do more often. I think the cover for Eric's record is a good balance between complicated and simple. Sometimes I'll work on something for days and eventually start removing elements and end up getting something better. It's hard to find that balance.
AIDS Wolf: Ma Vie Banale Avant-Garde [Lovepump United, 2012]
RB: That one is almost all hand-drawn. I wish more people wanted that hand-drawn style. I've done a few covers that way; the cover of the Real Estate 7" was all hand-drawn. Some of the border elements for this one were done in Illustrator, but otherwise it's made of many drawings scanned in and then assembled and colored in the computer. I don't think people see my work as collage, but that's how I view everything that I do. I'm always bringing tons of different elements together and moving things around and adding things.
I was kind of shocked when AIDS Wolf asked me to do this cover, because they're amazing artists in their own right. They do great stuff with Seripop, and I've always been a big fan of their work, so it was a real honor. The idea I had was almost an abstract art gallery setting. The title translates to "My Boring Avant-Garde Life", so I thought, what's boring? Art galleries! So I made a room and then put a bunch of weird art on the walls.
"I like the idea of worlds colliding-- something ending up
somewhere that it doesn't belong."
Pitchfork: Why did you decide to put it all inside a frame?
RB: It's a reference to a distinct style of 70s book design, like some of the stuff that Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast did with their group Pushpin. And I wanted it to be at odds with the music, because the music is so abstract and harsh and unruly. I wanted to have everything inside the frame be more inline with the music, and have the frame reign it all in.
Pitchfork: There seems to be a body part theme to this one.
RB: Yeah, when I do hand-drawn stuff, that tends to be the direction I go in. I feel like the next few covers I do I'll try to incorporate that stuff a bit more, just because I'm looking for ways to change what I'm doing. I feel like everyone wants something like what I did for Burning Star Core's Challenger [laughs]. I'm trying to move as far away from that as I can and still make everyone happy.
Raglani: Husk [Arbor, 2012]
RB: Joe's starting point for that was Pink Moon by Nick Drake, so I basically made my own version of that. We thought people would get the reference but I don't think anyone has yet (laughs). I didn't want it to be a direct reference, but I wanted to hint at that cover, which I've always loved and been confused and amazed by-- it's just so strange.
Pitchfork: Why did you put that little key at the bottom of the image?
RB: I wanted to have some references to actual objects. I think it's good to have something recognizable in with all these abstract elements, and I like the idea of worlds colliding-- something ending up somewhere that it doesn't belong. A key also suggests opening a gateway or a door, and I like to put these kinds of portals in my artwork-- holes opening up into other things so pieces from another place can come through. --Marc Masters

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 20 (HealthDay News) -- McNeil Consumer Healthcare has recently expanded its voluntary recall of some over-the-counter drugs to include about 500 lots of products, according to officials from the Office of Compliance in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
McNeil, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, started its recall in September, and at the time it was limited to certain lots of Tylenol. The company expanded the recall in December and again last week, and it now includes certain lots of Motrin, Benadryl, Rolaids and St. Joseph aspirin.
The recall is a response to an uncharacteristic moldy, musty or mildew-like odor reported by consumers. In a small number of cases, the odor was associated with gastrointestinal events, including nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. McNeil has determined that the odor is caused by trace amounts of the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole, which is used to treat the wooden pallets on which the drugs' packaging material is transported and stored.
"The health effects of this chemical have not been well-studied, but no serious events have been documented in the medical literature," said Deborah M. Autor, director of the Office of Compliance in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA, during a Jan. 15 news conference.

By Liz McMillan Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. Jan. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 4,502 |

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Yangervis Solarte went 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in his first MLB start, as the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros, 4-2, to avoid a three-game sweep.
Solarte batted ninth and played third base just one day after making his major league debut in the Yankees' 3-1 loss to the Astros on Wednesday, going 0- for-2.
Derek Jeter, Carlos Beltran and Brett Gardner each knocked in a run for the Yankees, who prevented their first 0-3 start since 2012. Ichiro Suzuki went 2- for-4 with two runs scored.
New York starter Ivan Nova (1-0) allowed two runs on six hits while walking five over 5 2/3 innings. In 2013, he went 9-6 with a 3.10 ERA in 23 games (20 starts).
Jose Altuve and Dexter Fowler had an RBI apiece for the Astros, who went 1- for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven. Fowler, who had two hits, joined Ken Caminiti as the only players in franchise history to begin their Astros careers with three consecutive multi-hit games.
Brett Oberholtzer (0-1) got the start for Houston and gave up three runs on five hits while striking out five over 5 2/3 innings. He went 4-5 with a 2.76 ERA in 13 games (10 starts) last season, his first in the majors.
Houston jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Fowler and Robbie Grossman singled before Jason Castro was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Altuve plated a run when he grounded into a fielder's choice. Chris Carter walked to load the bases again, but Marc Krauss grounded into a double play.
"We had our chances, especially early," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "We had baserunners everywhere. We were probably one big hit away from kind of getting some separation early in the game, but give the New York Yankees credit. They fought and found a way to get out of here with a win."
The Yankees scored a pair of runs in the third to take the lead for good. Suzuki, Solarte and Gardner hit three straight singles to plate a run. After Jeter walked to load the bases, Beltran hit a sacrifice fly.
New York tacked on another run in the fifth when Solarte crossed the plate on Jeter's two-out single to right. Solarte reached base on a double to center.
Houston got the run right back in the bottom half. Jonathan Villar led off with a double down the left-field line and scored on Fowler's single to right, making it 3-2.
The Astros gift-wrapped a run for the Yankees in the seventh. After Suzuki hit a two-out double, Solarte hit a high pop-up that fell between home plate and the pitcher's mound. Suzuki scored from second on the play to make it 4-2.
Adam Warren tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings, Shawn Kelley pitched a perfect eighth and David Robertson retired the side in order in the ninth to secure his first save of the season after taking over the closer role for the Yankees following the retirement of legendary closer Mariano Rivera.
"It felt like a normal big-league game," Robertson said of his first appearance in his new role. "I didn't have runners all over the place and didn't make it too dramatic."

Antifascist Calling...
Obama Demands Access to Internet Records, in Secret, and Without Court Review
by Tom Burghardt
The Obama administration is seeking authority from Congress that would compel internet service providers (ISPs) to turn over records of an individual's internet activity for use in secretive FBI probes.
In another instance where Americans are urged to trust their political minders,
The Washington Post
reported last month that "the administration wants to add just four words--'electronic communication transactional records'--to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval."
Under cover of coughing-up information deemed relevant to espionage or terrorism investigations, proposed changes to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) would greatly expand the volume of private records that can be seized through National Security Letters (NSLs).
Constitution-shredding lettres de cachet, NSLs are administrative subpoenas that can be executed by agencies such as the FBI, CIA or Defense Department, solely on the say so of supervisory agents.
The noxious warrants are not subject to court review, nor can a recipient even disclose they have received one. Because of their secretive nature, they are extremely difficult to challenge.
Issued by unaccountable Executive Branch agents hiding behind a façade of top secret classifications and much-ballyhooed "sources and methods," NSLs clearly violate our constitutional rights.
The fourth amendment unambiguously states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
However, in "new normal" America constitutional guarantees and civil rights are mere technicalities, cynical propaganda exercises jettisoned under the flimsiest of pretexts: the endless "War on Terror" where the corporate state's praetorian guards work the "dark side."
Once served, firms such as telecommunication providers, banks, credit card companies, airlines, health insurers, video rental services, even booksellers and libraries, are compelled to turn over what the secret state deem relevant records on targets of FBI fishing expeditions.
If burdensome NSL restrictions are breeched for any reason, that person can be fined or even jailed if gag orders built into the draconian USA Patriot Act are violated.
However, even the Patriot Act's abysmally lowered threshold for seizing private records specify that NSLs cannot be issued "solely on the basis of activities protected by the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States."
Despite these loose standards, congressional investigators, journalists and civil liberties watchdogs found that the FBI violated the rules of the road, such as they are, thousands of times. Between 2003-2006, the Bureau issued 192,499 NSLs, according to current estimates, the FBI continues to hand out tens of thousands more each year.
According to a May 2009 Justice Department
sent to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, "in 2007, the FBI made 16,804 NSL requests" and followed-up the next year by issuing some "24,744 NSL requests ... to 7,225 United States persons."
The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a 2007
which concluded that the Bureau had systematically abused the process and exceeded their authority. A follow-up
published by the OIG in January found that serious civil liberties breeches continue under President Obama.
This is hardly surprising given the track record of the Obama administration.
"Reform," Obama-Style
The latest White House proposal would hand the secret state unprecedented access to the personal communications of every American.
What Bushist war criminals did secretly, Obama intends to do openly and with the blessings of a supine Congress. As constitutional scholar Glenn Greenwald
points out
, "not only has Obama ... blocked any reforms, he has taken multiple steps to further expand unaccountable and unchecked surveillance power."
Nowhere is this more apparent than by administration moves to "reform" ECPA.
While the Justice Department claims their newly sought authority does not include "'content' of email or other Internet communications," this is so much eyewash to deceive the public.
In fact, the addition of so-called transactional records to the volume of files that the state can arbitrarily seize, would hand the government access to a limitless cache of email addresses, dates and times they were sent and received, and a literal snap-shot on demand of what any user looks at or searches when they log onto the internet.
As I have pointed out before, most recently last month when I
the National Security Agency's PERFECT CITIZEN program, the roll-out of privacy-killing deep-packet inspection software developed by NSA already has the ability to read and catalogue the content of email messages flowing across private telecommunications networks.
Former Bushist Homeland Security official, Stewart A. Baker, applauded the proposal and told the Post, "it'll be faster and easier to get the data." Baker touts the rule change as a splendid way for ISPs to hand over "a lot more information to the FBI in response to an NSL."
While the Post claims "many internet service providers" have "resisted the government's demands to turn over electronic records," this is a rank mendacity.
A "senior administration official," speaking anonymously of course, told the Post that "most" ISPs already "turn over such data." Of course they do, and at a premium price!
Internet security analyst Christopher Soghoian has documented that just one firm, Sprint Nextel, routinely turned over their customer's geolocation data to law enforcement agencies and even built them a secure web portal to do so, eight million times in a single year!
last year that "government agents routinely obtain customer records from these firms, detailing the telephone numbers dialed, text messages, emails and instant messages sent, web pages browsed, the queries submitted to search engines, and of course, huge amounts of geolocation data, detailing exactly where an individual was located at a particular date and time."
As a public service, the secrecy-shredding web site
has published dozens of so-called compliance guides for law enforcement issued by a plethora of telecoms and ISPs. Readers are urged to peruse Yahoo's
for a taste of what these grifters hand over.
While the administration argues that "electronic communication transactional records" are the "same as" phone records that the Bureau can obtain with an NSL, seizing such records reveal far more about a person's life, and political views, than a list of disaggregated phone numbers. This is precisely why the FBI wants unlimited access to this data. Along with racial and religious profiling, the Bureau would be handed the means to build a political profile on anyone they deem an "extremist."
That "senior administration official" cited by the Post claims that access to a citizen's web history "allows us to intercede in plots earlier than we would if our hands were tied and we were unable to get this data in a way that was quick and efficient."
Perhaps our "change" administration has forgotten a simple historical fact: police states are efficient. The value of privacy in a republic, including whom one communicates with or where one's interests lie, form the core values of a democratic order; principles sorely lacking in our "new normal" Orwellian order!
In a small but significant victory, the ACLU
this week that "the FBI has partially lifted a gag it imposed on American Civil Liberties Union client Nicholas Merrill in 2004 that prevented him from disclosing to anyone that he received a national security letter (NSL) demanding private customer records."
In a statement to reporters, Merrill said: "Internet users do not give up their privacy rights when they log on, and the FBI should not have the power to secretly demand that ISPs turn over constitutionally protected information about their users without a court order. I hope my successful challenge to the FBI's NSL gag power will empower others who may have received NSLs to speak out."
Despite this narrow ruling, the FBI intends to soldier on and the Obama administration is hell-bent on giving the Bureau even more power to operate in the dark.
Commenting on the Merrill case, The Washington Post
FBI spokesperson Mike Kortan claimed that NSL "secrecy is often essential to the successful conduct of counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations" and that public disclosure "may pose serious risks to the investigation itself and to other national security interests."
Those "other" interests, apparently, do not extend to the right to express one's views freely, particularly when they collide with the criminal policies of the secret state.

Central Districts coach Heinrich Malan says morale remains good within his side despite a disappointing Twenty20 campaign.
Central host Wellington in New Plymouth today, weather permitting, still searching for their first win.
All they have to show for five rounds is two points for an abandonment, but there has been a last-ball loss to Wellington and a Super Over loss to Auckland.
"It's been tough but we feel we are pretty much there, we just aren't getting across the line," Malan said.
Mathematically, Central can still make the top three finals series, which is currently led by Otago and Northern Districts on 16 points followed by Auckland and Wellington on 12.
"We do need to go five out of five and get some favours now," Malan said.
"We are just breaking it down game by game so we can get some momentum going."
Central's problems have been the early loss of wickets and poor execution with the ball at the death.
One bright note for Central today is the return from injury of Doug Bracewell. He missed Monday's loss to Auckland because of a groin injury but trained without discomfort yesterday.
Wellington have headed north in pursuit of a win and good weather. Their Christmas double-header washout at the Basin Reserve stalled their campaign and they'll be disturbed at today's weather forecast which Malan described as "pretty bleak".
Wellington are without left-armer Andy McKay for family reasons but their bowling unit remains strong.
Teams for the Twenty20 match at Pukekura Park in New Plymouth, starting today at 4pm:
Central Districts (from): Jamie How, Joshua Cobb, Peter Trego, Carl Cachopa, William Young, Kieran Noema-Barnett (captain), Kruger van Wyk, Doug Bracewell, Jacob Oram, Tarun Nethula, Marty Kain, Bevan Small, Ben Wheeler.
Wellington (from): Michael Papps, Michael Pollard, Stephen Murdoch, James Franklin (captain), Grant Elliott, Henry Walsh, Graham Napier, Luke Woodcock, Jeetan Patel, Brent Arnel, Dane Hutchinson, Matt Taylor

I'm not a prisoner
I just can't be
Waiting every Tuesday to tune into tv
Being hypnotized by the stars
while they take away our rights to put us right behind bars
I can't be a prisoner
there's no way
Hey did you know I'm on their prescription drugs so that way
I can be a Slave to their political ways and not notice
The subliminal waves to be controlled and locked up and put away
I'm also eating a lot isn't that weird
fat, lazy and have no drive to vote
But hey I'll take a douhble cheeseburgers without fear
No I'm not a prisoner I'm bright
But wait if my government does take away my rights
Will I fight?
Probably not cause I'm scarred, what if I get hauled off to jail
freedom of assemble Seems to fail
and what the hell
am I doing
I'm losing my train of thought is it the ADHD
Or is the man trying to control me.
I'm not prisoner
ok I admit it
I'm fat, stupid and addicted to these figments
On TV and oh I like the pills they gave me
I really don't care about anything
I'm finally a prisoner
I'm regretting never paying attention
These metal bars really put reality into perspective
Controlled by a system today
Learn your facts
or get picked up, cuffed and locked away

A little over a year ago (Nov. 2013) Jessica Tremblay posted 8 clever ways to display your haiku on her Old Pond Comics blog. I liked the weathergram idea. It took me a while to figure out how and where I could attempt some weathergrams.
Last October (2014) Jessica again posted more Weathergrams from Seabeck Haiku Gateway 2014, refreshing my weathergram interest.
Now I've followed up with my own weathergrams. Earlier this month (the first week of January 2015) I was able to do this on Goose Pond (near Chatham on Cape Cod).
My resources were mostly what I had on hand and carried from Hawai'i; strips I cut from a 25 year old roll of white "butcher" paper and garden twine. Today this Goose Pond area is under snow (the January blizzard of 2015). The photos are of course pre-blizzard. All counted eventually there were twelve weathergrams on this small oak tree above Goose Pond.
Ten weathergrams on a small oak tree.
This is the area where Henry David Thoreau spent time writing.
Some days were quite breezy.
All the days were chilly—mostly just above and below freezing.
At that time I was hoping for a little snow.
Not even a snowflake fell while I was there.
Still, every day was spectacular.
Thank you Jessica.
