Virgin Media Tube Wi-Fi service sparks concern
The Liberal Democrats have questioned plans to charge non-Virgin Media customers for access to the forthcoming Tube Wi-Fi service.
Concerns have been expressed about Virgin Media's plan to restrict free Wi-Fi access on the London Underground network to its own customers.
Transport for London awarded the cable company the contract to roll out a wireless internet service to up to 120 Tube stations at no cost to passengers or the taxpayer.
The Wi-Fi service will be available free of charge to all customers from this summer at more than 80 stations, but will move to a subscription model after this promotional period.
Virgin Media broadband and mobile subscribers will still be able to connect at no cost, but a pay-as-you-go model will be introduced for other passengers, while additional commercial models are also in the pipeline.
Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the Liberal Democrat group in London and spokesperson on transport in the capital, commented: "Whilst it is being extended to 120 stations by the end of 2012, it appears that passengers will only be able to use this service for free if they are on a Virgin Media contract."
She added the costs for non-Virgin Media customers are unclear and said she will table questions to ascertain what the move really means for passengers.

Veteran Pushes for Repeal in New Hampshire
September 20, 2010
The following comes from Mary Lou Paquette, A veteran from New Hampshire who has worked closely with HRC on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal:
I'm a late bloomer as far as activism goes. It took me 21 years of serving in the military to finally speak out about equality and justice. Emotionally, I had to become active in the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." It has taken such a toll on my life that I couldn't stay silent any longer. In June of this year I met Christine Sloane of the Human Rights Campaign and began attending events and collecting petitions in support of the repeal of DADT. Christine's enthusiasm and ever present positive energy was the motivation that kept me going.
Today I was afforded the opportunity to drop off hundreds of signatures from New Hampshire residents in support of repealing DADT. Senator Gregg has not announced whether he is voting for or against the repeal. We've worked hard to show Senator Gregg that the right thing to do is to pass the National Defense Authorization Act and repeal this discriminatory law. One of the first lessons I learned in the military was "never assume." I'll be pacing the floors until the vote and until we see full repeal. I am confident, however, that I've done all that I can. I'd like to thank Christine, Congressman Paul Hodes and all of the New Hampshire residents who voiced their support for the repeal. Elie Wiesel, author of "Night" wrote, "neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim." It is time; I hope you will join me in continuing to fight for equality to all.

Buyers and sellers of distressed debt should be aware of the recent decision in the Fisker bankruptcy case, In re Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc., 2014 WL 210593 (Bankr. D. Del.), which drastically limited the right of a secured creditor to credit bid its $168 million claim to the purchase price of the loan, $25 million, as application of the reasoning of this case may have disastrous implications for both buyers and sellers of distressed debt.
Facts of the Fisker Case
Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc. and Fisker Automotive, Inc. (collectively, "Fisker") developed and sold luxury plug-in hybrid electric cars. Fisker defaulted under its secured loan, which loan was acquired by the Department of Energy (the "DOE"). The DOE sold the loan at auction. Hybrid Tech Holdings, LLC ("Hybrid") was the highest bidder at the auction sale and purchased the secured loan for $25 million. At the time of the purchase, the unpaid principal balance was $168 million.
After buying the loan at auction, Hybrid entered into an asset purchase agreement with Fisker pursuant to which Hybrid was to acquire substantially all of the assets of Fisker for $75 million in the form of a credit bid. Fisker then filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief to complete the sale and then administer the Chapter 11 bankruptcy estates through a joint liquidation plan.
Shortly after the bankruptcy case was filed, Fisker filed a motion to approve the sale of substantially all of its assets to Hybrid under the terms of the asset purchase agreement. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") objected to the sale on various grounds. In particular, the Committee objected to Hybrid's right to credit bid and instead proposed an auction based on a bid received from Wanxiang America Corporation ("Wanxiang"). (Although not found in the opinion, Wanxiang was apparently an unsuccessful bidder at the auction sale for the loan to Fisker).
The Ruling in the Fisker Decision
The Delaware Bankruptcy Court sustained the Committee's objection and denied Fisker's motion to approve the sale of its assets. The Court required Fisker to conduct an auction and limited the amount of Hybrid's credit bid to $25 million, the amount that Hybrid paid for the purchase of the loan at the DOE auction.
The Fisker Court's analysis began with Bankruptcy Code Section 363(k) which provides as follows:
(k) At a sale under subsection (b) of this section of property that is subject to a lien that secures an allowed secured claim, unless the court for cause orders otherwise the holder of such claim may bid at such sale, and, if the holder of such claim purchases such property, such holder may offset such claim against the purchase price of such property. (Emphasis added).
Although the Fisker Court noted that Bankruptcy Code specifically authorized a secured creditor to credit bid its allowed claim, the bankruptcy court was authorized to order otherwise for cause. The Court's primary concern was that Wanxiang expressly conditioned its bid to purchase Fisker's assets on either eliminating Hybrid's right to credit bid or limiting the credit bid to $25 million. The Fisker Court was concerned that if Hybrid's credit bid was not limited, there would be no bidding thus no auction. In effect, the failure to limit Hybrid's credit bid would not only "chill" the biding, it would "freeze" it. As a result, the Fisker Court found that limiting the credit bid furthered the public policy of "fostering a competitive bidding environment."
The Fisker Court also noted that the Committee challenged the amount and extent of Hybrid's secured claim and cited authority for the proposition that the holder of a lien, the validity of which has not been determined, may not credit bid its lien. However, if the Fisker Court was relying on this authority, the Court could have first determined the validity of Hybrid's lien or denied Fisker's right to credit bid in any amount.
Possible Implications of the Fisker Decision
The Fisker decision is disturbing on a number of fronts. Even if this decision is not precedential, it would seem that the reasoning of the Fisker decision can be used by an unscrupulous creditors committee, or a disgruntled creditor who may have unsuccessfully tried to purchase a debtor's secured loan, to deprive a creditor of its right to credit bid by manufacturing a dispute to the creditor's loan.
The practical implications of the Fisker decision may also greatly impair the recovery of the purchaser of the distressed loan. For example, assume a similar factual situation as the Fisker case but to keep the math simple, assume that although the amount of the Hybrid's successful bid for the Fisker loan is $25 million, the balance owed to Hybrid under the loan is $100 million. Assume further that like the Fisker case, the borrower (Fisker) files for bankruptcy relief, seeks to sell the collateral for the loan pursuant to a sale under Bankruptcy Code Section 363. Further assume that the bankruptcy court limits Hybrid's credit bid at $25 million, but unlike the Fisker case, the rival bidder purchases the collateral for $25,000,001. In addition, to make the hypothetical more interesting, assume that bankruptcy estate has assets of $75 million unrelated to the sale of the collateral. After the sale of the collateral at the 363 sale, Hybrid's remaining claim is unsecured, junior to administrative claims of the debtor (Fisker) and a possible substantial tax claim for the $75 million forgiveness of Fisker's claim to Hybrid, which tax claim may have been greatly reduced or even eliminated if Hybrid were permitted to credit bid in the full amount of its debt. Not a fair result for the buyer of the distressed loan.
Although there is little discussion in the Fisker decision as to how the court became aware of the amount of Hybrid's successful bid for the Fisker loan, perhaps a more disturbing result for buyers of distressed debt, if the reasoning of the Fisker case is applied by other courts, is the possibility of either the court or another party compelling the purchaser of the secured debt to disclose the amount of the purchase price of the loan. Aside from an application of the Fisker decision, the purchase price should otherwise have absolutely no bearing on the amount of the purchaser's secured claim, the amount of its credit bid or the amount of its ultimate recovery from the borrower.

Armand Hammer Family Puts Three Properties On The Market For $26 Million
Via Realtor.com: The Hammer family (of Occidental Petroleum fortune and patrons of UCLA's Hammer Museum) have put three properties on the market for a total of $26 million. While the family's most famous member may be deceased oil tycoon Armand Hammer, his great-grandson Armie Hammer is well on his way to carving out his own space. He wowed audiences in his seamless performance of the Winklevoss twins in last year's Social Network, and he's set to play J. Edgar Hoover's supposed lover, Clyde Tolson, in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar.
The first is a Mediterranean-style mansion in Montecito for $6.25 million. The home was designed in 1926 by artist and architect George Washington Smith, who is well known for his "Spanish Colonial Revival" style throughout the Santa Barbara area. The four bedroom, seven bathroom home features hand-painted tiles, a majestic "great room," wrought iron gates, and meticulously landscaped gardens. According to Shelterpop, Montecito is home to celebs like Rob Lowe, Drew Barrymore, former Vice President Al Gore, and Oprah Winfrey.
Next up is a French-style mansion in Beverly Hills for $15.9 million. The 1952 home has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and sits on a 1.19 acre lot.
Finally, the family has most recently put up for sale a condominium in West Hollywood's star-struck Sierra Towers. Realtor.com notes that the Towers have been home to "stars such as Lindsay Lohan, Matthew Perry, and Elton John."

The shoes are amazing. They look very well made and high end. I get compliments constantly. They are very comfortable, I wear them to wrk everyday and I am on my feet all day. They are about a half size too big but if you wear thicker socks you should be fine. Just have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes they look so great and are so comfortable! They are a must have!
I order a pair of Lita's after reading all the comments here, and everything is SO TRUE! First of all it took only 6 days to get them on the other side of the world (i live in Chile, south america) wich was faster than any of the websites i know where you can buy online. Amazing. Secong of all, i ordered the shoes half size bigger and they fit PERFECTLY. so yeah, i'd recommend to do it like that. They are so comfortable too, i can´t believe im 12cms taller.Im very happy with them, hopefully i wont have the same problems as some of the users here.
I just got them today!!! Fast shipping I do recommend to get them from this site!!!Great shoes, very well made!!not as comfortable at first but It will mold to your sizing and comfort!!I want to get more them in a different color!!!Ohh and it is a true size! So don't think that you need a half size bigger cause you wanted to wear sock underneath!!it has room for socks..
I generally wear shoes that are sized between 6.5 and small 7s, my friend told me that she bought her jeffrey campbell shoes a 1/2 size larger and they fit her perfectly, so i bought a 7 and it really is a perfect fit. The only problem i have is that for a $160 shoe, it sure falls apart quite easily. I wore this out the moment I received it, and it wasn't even like I did have walking or dancing or anything, but the little round brass stud fell off on the right sides of BOTH shoes.. I'm disappointed by the lack of quality.

Little Big League at BV Northside 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Philly indie rockers Little Big League are about to join the ongoing Foxing/Hotelier tour, and they've now added more of their own tour dates surrounding their appearance at Riot Fest Toronto. Those dates have them in Brooklyn for a show on September 3 at Shea Stadium with a stacked lineup of likeminded DIY rock from Ovlov, Krill and Mannequin Pussy. All dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, the Foxing/Hotelier tour hits NYC this Saturday (8/2) with Prawn (who will also go on the Topshelf tour) and Told Slant. LBL's not on that date. Tickets are still available.
Ovlov play NYC again on their tour with Basement, Pity Sex and Superheaven.
Ovlov and Little Big League recently put out a split on Tiny Engines. Watch the video for LBL's contribution, with their list of dates, below...

The UK's Basement ended their 2-year hiatus earlier this year, and have since announced that they'll put out a new EP, Further Sky, next week (7/29) via Run For Cover. There's a definite love for the '90s on this three-song EP. There's the grungy Dinosaur Jr jangle of EP opener "Summer's Colour." "Jet" embraces the loud-quiet-loud dynamics of mid-90s alt-rock radio with a bit of Hum's space thrown in there. And to really show their love of the '90s, the final track is a mostly-straightforward (but a little grunged up) cover of Suede's "Animal Nitrate" off the Britpoppers' 1993 debut album. A full stream of the EP premieres in this post and can be listened to below.
As discussed, Basement are going on their first US tour since reuniting, which includes a run with support from Pity Sex, Superheaven and Ovlov. That run hits NYC on August 19 at Webster Hall. It's in the Grand Ballroom after being moved from the Studio and then to the Marlin Room. Tickets are still available. Other dates on the tour are with Cloakroom, who play NYC on their tour with Whirr in September.
EP stream, with the list of dates, below...

Speedy Ortix & Ex Hex touring, playing NYC together in Nov, both playing free NYC shows this month (dates)
Ex Hex / Speedy Ortiz at BV-SXSW 2014 (more by Tim Griffin)
Two great current indie rock bands, Speedy Ortiz (who owe a lot to the '90s) and Ex Hex (whose members were in some classic '90s bands), have shared bills before (like the BV SXSW day party this year and the Pitchfork Fest aftershow they play this month), and they'll do so again in the fall. We're not sure if it's a full tour or not, but about a month after both bands play Pygmalion Festival, they'll team up for a NYC show on November 2 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (7/11) at noon.
UPDATE: They also play another NYC show together on November 1 at Glasslands with Aye Nako. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (7/11) at 10 AM. More dates TBA?
Meanwhile, you can catch both bands for free in NYC this month. Speedy play 4Knots Festival on Saturday (7/12) with Dinosaur Jr, Mac DeMarco and more; and Ex Hex play MoMA Nights on July 17 (free with museum admission). All currently known dates for both bands are listed, with streams, below.
You can also catch Aye Nako in NYC Wednesday (7/9) at Silent Barn with Pony Bones (the current band of guitarist Matt Robidoux who is currently on hiatus from Speedy Ortiz with Grass Is Green's Devin McKnight taking his place) as well as Ovlov, Black Norse and Francis.

Flesh Wounds released a 7" on Merge, touring, including Northside shows w/ Swearin', Ovlov & more (dates, streams)
Flesh Wounds
Carrboro, NC garage punk trio Flesh Wounds just recently welcomed their new Bitter Boy 7" via local indie heavyweights Merge Records. "Bitter Boy" is backed by both "Kennel Cough" and "Let Me Be Clear," and 7"s are available for purchase via Merge's webstore. You can hear the full 7" via Merge Radio, and stream the title track, along with a stream of their 2014 self-titled 7", below.
Next week, Flesh Wounds will be embarking on a June US tour surrounding their appearances at NYC's Northside Festival.

It's not much of a secret that Massachusetts is currently a breeding ground for some of the best new '90s-inspired loud rock bands, and Allston's Sneeze are no exception. Their sophomore album, Wilt, comes out on June 17 via Glory Kid, and can be pre-ordered now. Not unlike Roomrunner's snotty grunge revival, it's ripper after ripper of the kind of alternative rock that we never get to hear on the radio anymore. If you yearn for the days of Nirvana, early Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins, and all that good stuff, Wilt is for you. Not to mention it was produced by go-to Mass. guy Justin Pizzoferrato, who's manned the boards for Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, Speedy Ortiz, and plenty other distortion pedal lovers. A full stream of the LP premieres in this post and can be listened to below.
Sneeze are planning a tour for later this year, but first they'll play a release show in their hometown on June 14 at O'Brien's Pub with Ovlov, Raw Blow and Sweet John Bloom.
Stream Wilt below...

Crying sign to Run for Cover, touring; Tigers Jaw streaming 'Charmer'; Makthaverskan reissued 'II' & more RFC news
by Andrew Sacher
NYC-area chiptune band Crying, who put out their Get Olde EP on Double Double Whammy last year, recently announced that they've signed to larger label Run For Cover (Modern Baseball, Basement), who say new music is coming soon. The band have played locally a lot, and they currently have many tour dates lined up including a bunch more in and around NYC. They play Brooklyn Launch Pad on May 31, then Hamden, CT's The Space on June 7 with Saintseneca (tickets). After that they'll go on a short tour with Teen Suicide that includes an Asbury Lanes (6/15) show with Pity Sex and Nothing (tickets) and a Brooklyn show at Shea Stadium (6/19). Then they go on a much longer tour with Told Slant which includes yet another Brooklyn show on July 4 at The Ho_se with Frankie Cosmos. All Crying dates are listed below.
In other Run For Cover news, the label releases the new Tigers Jaw album, Charmer, next week (6/3) which you can now stream in full on Pitchfork and pre-order for only $5. Like I said when singles "Nervous Kids" and "Hum" were released, it sounded like Tigers Jaw was going on a different direction than their previous material, and now that the whole thing's out there it can safely be said this is like nothing they've done before. The band haven't fully abandoned their punk roots -- there's still an edge here -- but like their tourmates/labelmates Pity Sex, Charmer is much more overtly indie rock than many releases by their peers. The vocals echo '80s mope rock, and the songs themselves are driving but never really go past mid-tempo. The harmonies Brianna Collins contributes are always on point too. Highly recommended album.
Tigers Jaw's tour with Pity Sex hits NYC on 6/18 at MHOW with Petal and Loose Planes (tickets). After that, they go on a tour with Touche Amore and Dads which doesn't hit NYC but hits Long Island on July 15 at Revolution (tickets).
RFC also recently reissued the 2013 sophomore album by Sweden's Makthaverskan, II. While II is '80s-inspired post-punk through and through, which is far from a unique description of a band in 2014, Makthaverskan really don't sound like many other groups at the moment. They very much remember that post-punk did indeed stem from punk, but not by cranking up the distortion. The guitars are all relatively clean, and the leads soar like Joy Division or Cure leads, but there's a backbone to the rhythm section. On a song like "Distance," all those guitars would need to do is switch to power chords and they'd have themselves a Black Flag song. But what really sets Makthaverskan apart from the rest is Maja Milner's powerhouse voice and her lyrics. While post-punk can often be about being moody or apathetic, Maja sounds quite the opposite, wailing in a way that sounds like she demands to be heard. And when she kicks off the album with a chorus of "Fuck you"s, only to belt out "Fuck you for fucking me when I was seventeen" on album standout "No Mercy" seven songs later, it's not hard to see why those demands are met. Take a listen to II for yourself below. No word on US dates yet but hopefully they come over here soon.
Run For Cover also recently signed Adventures (aka 3/4 of Code Orange Kids), who we caught at Webster Hall Studio not long ago. Adventures' first release for the label will be a split 7" with Pity Sex that includes a new song by each band, plus a cover of Turning Point's "Behind This Wall" by Adventures and a Pixies cover by Pity Sex.
Camera Shy, the duo of Nick Bassett (who is currently in Whirr and Nothing and previously of Deafheaven) and former Whirr vocalist Alexandra Morte, recently joined the label as well and put out an acoustic dreamy pop track "Spin Me," which you can spin below. (Alexandra isn't the only former Whirr vocalist with a release on RFC.)
Nothing at Rough Trade NYC on Record Store Day 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Speaking of Nothing, they bring their tour with RFC-signed Superheaven (formerly Daylight) to NYC on June 14 at The Studio at Webster Hall. Since we last spoke, UnWed (mems Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike) were added to that show. Tickets for that one are still available.
Speaking of Small Brown Bike, they'll release a collaborative 12" with The Casket Lottery on Run for Cover on June 17. You can stream one of those tracks, "Wrong Hometown," below. Able Baker Fox, who feature members of both Small Brown Bike and The Casket Lottery, are breaking their silence with a Michigan show and a set at The Fest this year. No other dates announced at the moment.
To go back to Superheaven and Pity Sex, both of those bands open for their UK labelmates Basement on that band's reunion tour which hits NYC on August 19 at Webster Hall (tickets). Ovlov is also on that show and they just premiered a new song from their split with Little Big League (due in August via Tiny Engines) over at Stereogum. It's called "The Great Crocodile" and can be heard below.
All mentioned streams and the list of Crying dates, below...

Donovan Wolfington put out their Scary Stories You Tell in the Dark EP earlier this year -- their first release for Topshelf -- and it's the kind of raw, hooky rock made for college radio and college house shows. So it makes sense that for the video for its excellent single, "Keep Ripper," they've basically filmed the band throwing a house party filled with twentysomethings, cheap beer, balloons, silly string, shirtless dudes, kissing and more. That video (filmed by Ally Newbold, edited by Klein Bros. Audiovisual) premieres in this post and can be watched below.
The band toured not long ago, and they'll head out for another run of dates soon. A handful of those are with Ovlov, including the NYC show happening on June 30 at Shea Stadium.
All dates are listed, with the new video and a stream of their EP, below...

Pity Sex at BV-CMJ 2013 (more by Chris La Putt)
As previously discussed, UK post-hardcore band Basement ended their hiatus and will be touring North America this year, which includes a NYC show at the Grand Ballroom in Webster Hall on August 19 (moved from the Marlin Room, which had been moved from the Studio). Since we last spoke, two of Basement's Run for Cover labelmates, the shoegazy Pity Sex and the '90s alt-rock-loving Superheaven, have been added to the most of the US dates. Another '90s-loving band, Ovlov (but more Dino Jr/Sonic Youth-style love) also open the NYC show, and a few other Northeast dates. Tickets for Webster Hall are still available. Updated dates are listed below.
Also, you won't have to wait that long to see Pity Sex, because as previously mentioned, they're first touring with other RFC labelmates, Tigers Jaw, and hitting NYC on 6/18 at MHOW with Petal and Loose Planes (tickets).
Superheaven are also touring sooner with Nothing, which hits The Studio at Webster Hall on 6/14 (tickets). When we last spoke, we mentioned that Superheaven is actually Daylight, though at the time we thought it was them being billed under a secret name. Turns out, Daylight have actually officially changed their name to Superheaven. You can read their letter explaining why (legal reasons), with the lists of their dates and Pity Sex's dates, below.

Geronimo! releasing an LP, touring, playing 2 NYC shows (one with Speedy Ortiz side project Dead Wives) (dates & streams)
by Andrew Sacher
Geronimo!, a regular in the Chicago indie rock scene, are set to release their new album, Cheap Trick, on May 13 via Exploding In Sound Records (Porches, Krill). They've just unveiled its first single, the shouty, noisy rocker "Mr. President," which you can stream below. That's the album artwork above.
The band will be going on a tour around its release, which brings them to NYC for shows on May 9 at Shea Stadium with Purling Hiss, Lost Boy?, Vulture Shit (who also play NYC tonight [3/21]), and bbigpigg; and May 10 at Death by Audio with Ovlov, Dead Wives and LVL UP. Those are both some pretty solid lineups. All dates are listed below.
In related news, Dead Wives, the project fronted by Speedy Ortiz drummer Mike Falcone, released their new cassette, Buzzy Fuzzy, this week (3/18) via ObscureMe Records. It features covers of Ween's "Don't Sweat It" and Nicki Minaj's "Beez in the Trap," plus six originals that should appeal to fans of Mike's other band. Stream the whole tape below. And if you haven't yet, check out pics of Speedy Ortiz at SXSW.

Little Big League
Seahaven, who are about to wrap up a tour supporting Touche Amore, will go on a headlining tour this spring and they'll be taking out some excellent support, including Pittsburgh punks Adventures (aka 3/4 of Code Orange Kids), St. Louis emo/indie pop band Foxing, and Philly's mathy, punky Little Big League. That tour brings all four bands to NYC on May 16 at The Studio at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (3/14) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, you can also catch Little Big League in NYC at the previously announced Brooklyn Night Bazaar show on 4/19 with No Joy, Bleeding Rainbow and Beach Day; and at the previously announced Porches show at Shea on Thursday (3/13) with Downies and Steve Hartlett of Ovlov. All of their other dates are listed below too.

What's going on Monday? (Casket Girls, Creepoid, Cities Aviv, MV & EE, Ovlov, Mike Birbiglia & more)
Cities Aviv at Cake Shop in 2013 (more by Chris Gersbeck)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
The Casket Girls, The Stargazer Lilies, Creepoid, Dreamend @ Shea Stadium
The Casket Girls' lineup features Ryan Graveface of Black Moth Super Rainbow, but the group's fronted by Elsa and Phaedra Greene. Their distorted pop should be familiar to BMSR fans though. Also of note on the bill is Creepoid, who do justice to '90s-style slowcore.
Mike Birbiglia @ Union Hall
Mike Birbiglia plays big rooms these days but still loves testing out new material at cozy Union Hall. Sold out.
Pastimer, Ovlov (acoustic), Ben Mackie @ Cameo Gallery
Ovlov bring their Dinosaur Jr-isms to life in NYC venues quite often, but tonight you'll get to see a different side of them as they strip things down for an acoustic show.
MV & EE (2 Sets, FREE) @ Baby's All Right
Experimental duo (and sometimes more than a duo) MV & EE begin their "Aquarian Shade residency" at Baby's All Right tonight. They play 2 sets, both free, and then do it again next Monday too.
Cities Aviv @ Baby's All Right
Alt-rapper Cities Aviv is more than a regular on the NYC live show circuit, but tonight's a bit more special, as it's the release party for his new album, Come to Life.
Night Train @ Littlefield
Tonight Wyatt Cenac's weekly Night Train comedy show will be guest hosted by The Kondabolu Brothers. Joining them for the show is Sasheer Zamata, Phoebe Robinson, Nimesh Patel, George Gordon, Giulia Rozzi, and Roy Wood Jr.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Disco Doom at MHOW in 2009 (more by Chloe Rice)
Switzerland indie rockers Disco Doom have inked a deal with Exploding In Sound Records (Krill, Porches, Pile), who will release their third full length album, Numerals, on February 11. It follows 2010's Trux Reverb, was produced by Jim Roth and features drums by Scott Plouf, both of Built to Spill, who Disco Doom played NYC with in 2009. If you dig the jammy side Built to Spill brings to indie rock, you might dig Numerals too. You can stream the whole thing over at Pitchfork, and listen to two of its tracks, "Rice & Bones" and "Ex Teenager," below.
Disco Doom will be returning to the US this year for SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, and a tour with their labelmates Ovlov. That tour hits NYC for shows on March 31 at Cake Shop with Palehound and Zula, and April 1 at Death by Audio with Bad History Month and Leapling. No advance tickets for those shows at the moment. All dates are listed below.
Palehound also have other local shows, as do Zula. Leapling also open for Mutual Benefit soon.
All Disco Doom dates are listed, along with those streams, below...

Radiator Hospital playing more shows, including one with Frankie Cosmos who's releasing an LP (dates & streams)
by Andrew Sacher
Radiator Hospital at Glasslands earlier this week (more by Dylan Johnson)
We just caught Radiator Hospital playing an excellent set in Brooklyn at Glasslands on Monday (1/6), as part of their ongoing tour with Potty Mouth. After the run with Potty Mouth ends, singer Sam Cook-Parrott is going on a solo tour for a couple of weeks, and not long after that he'll return to NYC for a Double Double Whammy label showcase at Shea Stadium on February 12 with Generifus, Frankie Cosmos, Crying and Quarterbacks. It's not clear at the moment if RH will be playing solo or full-band at that show, but stay tuned for more info.
Double Double Whammy will also be releasing Radiator Hospital's Mall of America EP on cassette soon, and Forward Records is putting it out on 10" vinyl. Sam is also promising at least two releases for 2014, so we have that to look forward to too. Meanwhile, if you haven't already, you can stream the Mall of America EP below.
Crying will also play the same venue a few days earlier when they open the previously discussed You Blew It! / Prawn show at Shea on 2/8.
As for Frankie Cosmos, she just played Death by Audio last night (1/7), and ahead of that show we mentioned that she'll be releasing her first full band album, Zentropy, on Double Double Whammy. The album follows multiple solo releases on bandcamp, and its first single is "Owen," which first appeared as a rougher track called "I Love My Brother Owen" on her 2012 album, Thanks For Everything. The new version features harmony vocals with Porches frontman Aaron Maine, who also drums in Frankie's band. You can stream the new track below. Frankie also has another local show happening sooner on February 6 at Silent Barn with Big Ups (who have other dates), Ovlov (ditto) and LVL UP (ditto again).

Don Giovanni bands list favorite LPs of 2013 (California X, Screaming Females, Priests, Tenement, Worriers & more)
Screaming Females at Bowery Ballroom in September (more by Amanda Hatfield)
We've been asking around for artists to tell us their favorite albums of 2013, and the people at NJ punk/indie rock label Don Giovanni Records sent over some lists from a few of their artists. At the bottom of this post, you can browse the lists from label co-founder Joe Steinhardt (also an artist on the label as Modern Hut), DC post-punks Priests, eclectic Brooklyn duo Shellshag, Amherst sludge rockers California X, Wisconsin punk rippers Tenement, Hilly Eye, Lauren Measure's new pop punk band Worriers, and Marissa Paternoster, the shredder/vocalist of Screaming Females (and also the brains behind Noun). One major trend on the lists is that the self-titled debut from Radioactivity (the new band of The Marked Men's Jeff Burke and Mark Ryan) appears more than any other album. If you haven't heard that one yet, you can stream it below.
As discussed, most of the bands mentioned will be playing the Don Giovanni showcases happening in Brooklyn on February 6 at 285 Kent and February 7 and 8 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for 285 Kent and MHOW (including a 2-day pass option) are still available.
Lists and streams below...

Grass Is Green releasing a new LP, touring, playing year-end NYC show w/ Porches, Krill, Roomrunner, Big Ups & more
by Andrew Sacher
Grass Is Green
Boston's Grass Is Green have announced that they'll release Vacation Vinny, the followup to 2012's Ronson, on January 14 via Exploding In Sound. Like many others in the Northeast area have been doing, they recorded the album at Silent Barn's studio with Julian Fader and Carlos Hernandez of Ava Luna producing. The LP's first single, "Vacation 2.0," pretty much picks up where Ronson left off, with fidgety stop-start post-hardcore and screwy, discordant melodies that you might not call "catchy" but that definitely stick in your head. Stream the new track, along with the album artwork and tracklist, below.
As discussed, Grass Is Green will be going on a tour with Speedy Ortiz which doesn't hit NYC, but right before that, Grass Is Green will play an Exploding In Sound year-end celebration at Baby's All Right on December 30 with a ginormous lineup of Porches, Krill, Ovlov, Roomrunner, Pile (acoustic), Baked, Dead Wives, Big Ups, Gnarwhal, Two Inch Astronaut, Bad History Month, Woozy, and special guests. Admission is $10 at the door.
Meanwhile, Bad History Month has some other dates before that, including another Brooklyn show happening on December 17 at Death by Audio with Bueno, Bennio Qwerty, and Sediment Club. All of their dates are listed below.
Porches have other upcoming dates too.
And speaking of Exploding In Sound Records, BrooklynVegan is co-presenting a show with EIS on December 12 at Death by Audio with Chumped, PUP, Slothrust, Slow Warm Death, and Alarms & Controls.
All Grass Is Green and Bad History Month dates are listed, along with that song stream, album artwork and tracklist, below...

photos by Chris La Putt
Pity Sex @ BV-CMJ 10/19/13
Ann Arbor shoegazers Pity Sex, who put out a pretty great album this year, just announced that they'll head back out on the road in January with post-hardcore band Self Defense Family (fka End of a Year, and whose singer Patrick Kindlon is also in Drug Church). And to turn what will surely be great double bills into great triple bills, they've got LVL UP supporting the first leg, and Ovlov supporting the second. The tour hits NYC on January 19 at Santos Party House with Ovlov opening. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but you can check Ticketweb for updates. All dates are listed, along with the tour flyer below.
Back during CMJ, Pity Sex played our BV party. We already posted one set of pictures from that show, and there's another batch of their set in this post.
Self Defense Family recently announced that their first LP under their current name, Try Me, will be out on January 7 via Deathwish. Watch the teaser video for that LP and stream one of their earlier tracks below.
LVL UP aren't on the NYC date of the Pity Sex/Self Defense tour, but they do have other NYC shows coming up. They'll be opening the previously discussed Saintseneca tour, including the NYC stop happening on January 18 at Baby's All Right. Also on that show is Broncho and Brass Bed. Tickets for that show are still available.
Before those tours, you can also catch LVL UP at Shea Stadium on November 29 with Liam Betson (Liam the Younger), Heeney, and Liquor Store. And they'll also return to Shea on December 5 for part two of the two-part Big Snow Buffalo Lodge farewell party. Joining LVL UP at Shea on 12/5 is Porches, Krill, Baked, Lost Boy?, and Bueno. And part 1 of the party happens on December 3 at Silent Barn with Twin Sister, Leapling, Celestial Shore, Ava Luna, Zula, and a DJ set from Empress Of. Tickets for part 1 and part 2 are on sale now. All LVL UP dates are listed below.
As discussed, LVL UP have an upcoming split with Porches coming out on November 26 via Birdtapes/Double Double Whammy. They just premiered one of their contributions, "Bad Blood," over at Beats Per Minute, and you can stream that, along with their other contribution, "Cross The Sea," and Porches' "Townie Blunt Guts," below.
Porches also play this year's WBAR Winter Formal (aka Space Prom), along with garage punk ragers Diarrhea Planet, Designer, and No Regrets Coyote. It takes place on December 13 at Barnard College in the Diana Event Oval, and is free, all ages, and open to the public. Flyer below. As discussed, Diarrhea Planet play another free show at Brooklyn Night Bazaar (12/14) a day later with Purling Hiss, Big Ups, and Manors.
Speaking of LVL UP, Porches, Double Double Whammy and Birdtapes, Crying (who are signed to DDW, and who feature Nick of LVL UP and Elaiza of Whatever, Dad) and Elvis Depressedly (signed to Birdtapes) are heading out on a tour together which includes a house show in NYC on New Year's Eve at David Blaine's The Steakhouse with Spook Houses (feat.

After them is the rippin' Toronto punks PUP, and
finally CT's grungy Ovlov. Admission for this show is $8 and doors are at 8 PM. Hope to see you there!

Milwaukee rockers Midnight Reruns make power pop with an edge recalling bands like The Replacements, Weezer, Superdrag, and other bands with a knack for crunchy melodicism. Their self-titled debut record is due out in November via Good Land Records (the same label that just put out Anniversary frontman Josh Berwanger's new album), and the video for one if tracks, "King of Pop," makes its premiere in this post. The song's about Paul Collins (The Nerves, The Beat) who also makes a cameo in the video, and depicts the band playing a messy backyard party, which is exactly the environment this song feels like it's made for. Check it out below.
Midnight Reruns have a few dates coming up, including a record release show in their hometown, and they'll be in NYC for CMJ when they play the Brixton Agency/MezzoForte showcase at Grand Victory (10/17) with Pity Sex, Kal Marks, Greys, Ovlov, Two Inch Astronaut, Dads and more. Doors for that show open at 3:30.
All dates are listed, along with the full lineup for that CMJ show and the new video, below...

Greys, Odonis Odonis, Teenanger, Absolutely Free, Beliefs, HSY & more on Nirvana 'In Utero' tribute LP (stream a track)
by Andrew Sacher
The 20th anniversary celebrations for Nirvana's In Utero continue this week with, Milkin' It, a tribute album from a number of Toronto bands co-curated by Greys, The Wooden Sky, and the Hand Drawn Dracula label. In addition to Greys and The Wooden Sky, the compilation also features covers from Beliefs, Teenanger, Absolutely Free, Odonis Odonis, Hooded Fang, HSY, and more.
For the album, Greys took on In Utero's second track, "Scentless Apprentice," and that cover makes its premiere in this post. The headbanging riffage and dissonant chorus of this one was a great choice for the noise punk quartet who probably owe more than a little of their sound to tracks like this one. They do the song the justice it deserves, and you can listen for yourself, below.
Greys will also be in NYC soon for CMJ (as will a few other bands on the comp). Their currently announced shows include Cameo on 10/15 with Hunters, PUP, Big Ups, Kirin J Callinan, and Ovlov; and the Brixton Agency/MezzoForte showcase at Grand Victory on 10/17 with Pity Sex, Dads, Ovlov, Kal Marks and more.
All of their dates are listed, along with the song stream, below...

Stay tuned for info on any more PUP CMJ shows.
Many of PUP's dates in their home country are with fellow Canadian rockers and confetti cannon wielders Hollerado who released their new album, White Paint, back in March. Their video for "So It Goes" is in this post.

Tickets for that show are on sale now.
All dates for both bands are listed, along with a couple videos, below...

Spook Houses / Fat History Month split 7" artwork

Kenny Hill, Nick Harvey are top newcomers
December, 29, 2010
By Randy Jennings | ESPNDallas.com
Newcomers of the YearClass 5A: QB Kenny Hill, Southlake Carroll
|ESPNDallas.com recognizes the top Class 4A and 5A performances from the 2010 football season:
The son of former major league baseball pitcher Ken Hill proved proficient as a passer and runner. He completed 73 percent of his passes for 1,761 yards and 15 touchdowns. As a rusher, Hill gained 435 yards and seven touchdowns in 115 attempts.
Coach Hal Wasson's confidence in Hill was evident in his team's 38-24 regional playoff win over Abilene when the quarterback was trusted with the ball-carrying duty on the Dragons' last possession. Hill rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two, including one for 94 yards, in the win.
Class 4A: QB/DB Nick Harvey, Lancaster
Harvey earned recognition on a list of the nation's top 10 freshmen in a season that saw him start at defensive back and quarterback.
While sharing time at quarterback, Harvey threw for 524 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 665 yards and five touchdowns.
As a defensive back, Harvey intercepted a pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown in a season-opening win over Carter.
In perhaps Lancaster's biggest win in 2010, 42-21 over West Mesquite, Harvey rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns and threw for a fourth score.

Under the motto "putting the hai back in haiku," Haijinx published four online issues in 2001 - 2002, then migrated to print publication, always focussing on "modern interpretations of the haikai poetic and artistic tradition, including the role of humor in haiku."
In the host's words, "Mountain-Home is an online community for the discussion and composition of modern waka... heart song of the Japanese people... now not bounded by language or geography... primarily expressed in the five-line form familiar to readers of contemporary tanka." The Mountain-Home ensemble of poets from all over the world has created a Modern Waka 100 Verse Sequence.
Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, or "100 Poems By 100 Poets"

Connlan Kayrs is a Prince of the Realm, an ultimate warrior and a vampire. He has also been mated to Moira Dunne, a witch, for a century. He signed a treaty and gave her the space she needed to come into and understand her powers as the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. However, time is up, war is upon them from several sides and Conn is claiming his mate.
Moira Dunne is The Seventh. As the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter she has more power than any witch on the Council of the Nine. She has spent a century training and now Conn has come to claim her. Despite the wonderful night they spent together and the fact he marked her as his mate, Moira thinks Conn is just doing his duty and that sets off her red-headed temper. Sparks will fly and fights will ensue. Oh, and there is a war to be fought. Will they survive the upcoming chaos?
I so love this series. There are alliances and enemies that seem to be in constant flux. There is mystery galore and an uncertain future. The characters are interesting and the world is wonderful. The plot is twisty and the writing is smooth. I can't wait to read the next installment and see where this is all headed.

"Moira Dunne is a witch--the quantum physics kind. Time and space are her playthings. Which might explain why her one-night stand from a hundred years ago has turned up to claim her--and request her family's assistance with the war he's brewing. But the more he learns about Connlan Kayrs, the more she comes to think this is normal behavior for him."-- provided by publisher.… (more)
