- Billy Crystal to Present Robin Williams Tribute at Emmys
Time clearly hasn't worked its healing powers on Sean Penn's heart.
In the new issue of Esquire, the two-time Oscar winner opens up about his struggle to come to terms with the end of his marriage to Robin Wright. (The pair wed in 1996 and divorced in 2010; Penn was also married to Madonna from 1985 to 1989.)
"There is no shame in saying that we all want to be loved by someone. As I look back over my life in romance, I don't feel I've ever had that," the "Gangster Squad" star says. "I have been the only one that was unaware of the fraud in a few of these circumstances blindly."
Although the actor doesn't mention "Moneyball" star Wright, 46, by name, Penn confesses the couple was forced to acknowledge some uncomfortable facts about their relationship during the drawn-out divorce process.
PHOTOS: Remember these '80s/'90s stars?
"When you get divorced, all the truths come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f--- was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense," he says. "It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me."
Things took a turn for the worse following Penn's split from Wright: less than one year later, their son Hopper, 19, was involved in a serious skateboarding accident. (The pair are also parents to daughter Dylan, 21.)
"It had already been eight months of divorce and s--t, and raising a kid that's going through the divorce himself, and then this f---ing thing happens . . . it was a tough, tough time," Penn confesses.
PHOTOS: How Madonna's face has changed
When everything else in his life felt bleak, the actor says his Haiti activism helped put things -- including his heartbreak and his son's accident -- into perspective.
"The road started with the most obvious kind of trauma -- my son's head -- and then to get to a place that had been just so devastated and traumatized, and then to see that in fact most of the trauma actually predated the earthquake," the founder of J/P Haitian Relief Organization shares. "You had a country that had never experienced anything that related to comfort, and out of that you had great trauma -- but also this great strength that, I think, we all benefited from."

Unfettering Confessionby Donald Pace
Synopses & Reviews
This book introduces two major theoretical perspectives that have been consistently overlooked: the performance nature of confession, and the incorrect classification of confession as only a subset of autobiography. As this book demonstrates, confession is not always autobiographical but is always performative.

Chris Coleman considering future as Wales manager
Wales manager Chris Coleman has revealed that he will consider his future as national boss during the next few weeks.
It is understood the Football Association of Wales have offered him a new contract, but Coleman says he is unsure if signing it would be the right thing to do.
Coleman suggested the delay is not solely down to the FAW wanting to wait and see how Wales fare in the upcoming qualification double-header and November's friendly against Finland.
"There are one or two little things that I need to discuss. We had a meeting on Monday and we touched on it," he said.
"Whatever the next results, I need to talk to some people. There are things both sides want to talk about."
"Football being football, I have learned from the last two games that perceptions change. Before the Macedonia game the contract was nearly done."
"But after two games against Macedonia and Serbia perceptions have changed. I have my own things I want to discuss."

Dynamic Correlations and Optimal Hedge Ratios
AbstractThe focus of this article is using dynamic correlation models for the calculation of minimum variance hedge ratios between pairs of assets. Finding an optimal hedge requires not only knowledge of the variability of both assets, but also of the co-movement between the two assets. For this purpose, use is made of industry standard methods, like the naive hedging or the CAPM approach, more advanced GARCH techniques including estimating BEKK or DCC models and alternatively through the use of unobserved components models. This last set comprises models with stochastically varying variances and/or correlations, denoted by the TVR, SCSV and DCSV models, and an approximation to these with a single-source-of-error setup. Modelling the correlation explicitly is shown to produce the best hedges when applied to the simulated data. For financial time series on the daily S&P 500 cash versus futures returns, and also on weekly S&P 500 versus FTSE 100 returns, the correlations are compared to a realised correlation measure, extracted from high frequency data. Apart from the comparison of correlations, the reduction in portfolio variance produced by different hedging strategies is examined. The data suggests that the most important factor in reducing portfolio variance is the use of a flexible model for time varying volatility, rather than capturing time variation in correlations. GARCH-based models with time varying correlation are found to perform not as good on the present set of measures as the stochastic volatility models, with or without dynamic correlation.

Webber ruled out until 2013

Rob Webber looks set to miss the rest of 2012 © Getty Images
Bath Rugby's Rob Webber looks set to be out of action until the New Year after being forced to undergo an operation on his shoulder.
Webber has been out of action since March and, according to the Bath Chronicle, is unlikely to play for his new side until the New Year. The operation will be Webber's second on his troublesome shoulder injury and although he is a new signing for Bath - after making the switch from Wasps at the end of last season - he will have to wait a while to pull on their shirt.
Bath coach Mike Ford confirmed the news saying: "Rob's had a second operation on his shoulder and we've got some other injuries. But that's the nature of the game and it means a door can open for another player. You've just got to get on the horse."
Webber Tweeted: "I'm gutted to be missing the start of the Premiership due to needing a shoulder op. Not the start i wanted in @bathrugby colours at all! Hopefully the operation combined with some solid rehab will fix the problem and i can crack on and get stuck in in BB&W for @bathrugby!"
Lee Mears is therefore likely to retain the No.2 jersey for their match with Worcester on Saturday. Bath are also going to be without Ryan Caldwell (knee), Stephen Donald (Achilles) and Tom Heathcote (knee) for the clash with the Warriors.
Bath boss Gary Gold hopes to have Stephen Donald back fit within the month. "Stephen's going to need some rehab but not an operation or be out for any extended period of time. He'll be training in the next couple of weeks and we'll hopefully have him back available for selection in three or four weeks."

Another SEC roadblock for Texas A&M?
Source: Big 12 Football Blog - Aug 16, 2011 at 9:48 AM
Texas A&M appears to be on its way to the SEC, but the process has slowed, and the Aggies may have to clear another hurdle before being able to exit the Big 12. This one, though, has nothing to do with good, old-fashioned Texan politicking, fits for the SEC's 14th team or votes from any number of board members. The latest roadblock could be a possible meeting between top college officials, barring clearance from the NCAA. According to a report in the New York Times, NCAA president Mark Emmert has reached out to officials to suggest a "less canniabalistic and more collegial way to approach conference expansion." Tension is high among some commissioners, as Texas A&M of the Big 12 appears headed to the Southeastern Conference in the

Two weeks after unanimously approving to make an offer to purchase land to build its own City Hall, the Milton City Council is set to meet again Wednesday night.
At its Feb. 3 meeting, the council agreed to offer approximately $950,000 for about 2.5 acres of land behind the shops on Crabapple Road.
Since it's creation eight years ago as a city, Milton's City Hall has been located in rented offices on Deerfield Parkway. But that would change if the land transaction can be made.
The City's rental agreement in the Deerfield building runs through April 2017 and the hope is to have a new City Hall by then.
The purchase came in part due to a redistribution of sales tax revenue (LOST) that was negotiated in 2012, as the City saw its revenue rise significantly from $4 million to $7.8 million annually.Wednesday's council meets at 6 p.m. at Milton City Hall's council chambers, located at 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107.

A pair of hedge fund managers have been accused of using a side-pocket to conceal losses and overcharge investors.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said that PEF Advisors, run by Paul Mannion and Andrew Reckles, overvalued the hedge fund's investment in World Health Alternatives by more than a factor of 10. The Atlanta firm's Palisade Master Fund had about 20% of client assets invested in the company five years ago, when WHA announced that it was under investigation for accounting fraud.
PEF moved the WHA investment into a side-pocket as the stock's value plummeted by more than 90%. But according to the SEC, PEF continued to value the stake at $4.12 million, when it was worth $362,000, "at most."
"Side pockets are not supposed to be a dumping ground for hedge fund managers to conceal overvalued assets," the SEC's Robert Kaplan said. "Mannion and Reckles deceived investors about the fund's performance and extracted excessive management fees based on the inflated values."
According to the SEC, the duo stole some $1.6 million from investors using the side-pocket.
Mannion and Reckles deny the charges, arguing that "no valuation" of WHA "was reliable" following the announcement of the investigation and the company's subsequent bankruptcy filing.
The two men's attorney, Stavroula Lambrakopoulos, said that no money was lost by clients due to the use of the side pocket.
The case may be the first over the use of side-pockets, which became prevalent during the financial crisis, but it will not be the last. Kaplan said that "additional side pocket cases" are likely in the future.

My Resolution
I'm pretty slow to start the new year with my resolutions for change. It seems that each year, I am completely burnt out after the growing/harvest/preserving season then jumping right into the holiday season that by the time the new year begins, I only desire to sit and do nothing (ok, I want to chat on Twitter or take naps). And cook yummy food from all that I've put up!
I've been reading about what several others have been saying their resolutions are and for me, the only major things I need to change in my life this year is to get more exercise and more sleep! I have no problems eating what's in my pantry as one big challenge I've seen people participate in. In fact, I try to live this way year round and am nervous we are going through our canned tomato and sauce supply way faster than I thought we would and I am trying to make the home-canned supply last til next summer! I'm sure it won't at this rate.
I don't need to challenge myself to do a 3 week jumpstart your diet challenge which is another big one I've seen written about to detox your body on a plant based diet. I eat a plant based diet and occasionally the very nutritious eggs from my own backyard chickens so this is a way of life for me, too. I also like to wait until springtime to do a liver cleanse, it's too cold for me in the winter to do cleanses like that.
No, what I need to do (and began doing this past week) is something I saw written up on the Huffington Post called "Sleep Challenge 2010 – Women, It's Time To Sleep Your Way To The Top, Literally." Once I read that article, I knew I had to do it. I was resistant at first, I like going to bed between 12-1 am and sleeping in a bit in the morning but with an almost 6 year old boy as my daily alarm clock, I rarely get to sleep past 7 or 7:30 and that's late for him. So I was getting around 6 or 6.5 hours of sleep each night. I have been dragging and some days, I've only gotten about 5.5 hours at night and that puts me over the cranky edge so I can't function the way I want and need to.
I realize I have to get a minimum of 7 hours of solid sleep at night and preferably 8 hours of sleep every night to feel well. My son sleeps through the night for the past few years and even in his own room now. The only time he wakes us up at night is if he's sick or had a bad dream. After suffering through several years of extreme sleep deprivation because of him, I should want to go to bed early and get 8+ hours of sleep every night! Why my resistance I wondered? I realized it's because it's "me time" for several hours in the evening. After we eat a family dinner, my husband does the bedtime routine with our son then has his guitar playing hour (or more) every night and I clean up and have things I catch up on, books I am reading or tv shows on Tivo to watch! I wind up waiting for my husband to watch certain shows with me and we seem to go to bed too late because of this. He always says he does better on 6 or 6.5 hours of sleep and if he sleeps longer than that, he's dragging. I'm the other way around so I don't believe him! Who can function well on 6 or 6.5 hours of sleep every night? Not me!
He is sort of doing this sleep challenge with me because consistent, solid sleep is so beneficial for your body in so many ways and he's recovering from several weeks of some funky virus invading his body and doing strange things to him. Solid sleep also helps to prevent getting run-down and sick in the first place. Your immune system works better, you have more energy, you look younger and your mental state is in a much better place, too. There's also evidence that not getting enough sleep makes you gain or retain weight and sufficient sleep helps you lose it! There really is not one downside to getting your "beauty sleep." It is quite a challenge for me to get up to the 8 hour mark. I'm working on cutting back on my evening activities and getting more things done during the day.
This past week I've been aiming for 7-7.5 hours of sleep each night (by counting backwards from my 7 a.m. wake up time) and I feel good but still tired and dragging at some point in my day. Clearly a sign I need more sleep! Who knew? This week, I (and possibly Michael) will be trying for 8 whole, glorious hours of uninterrupted sleep each and every night. If I can do this, I will feel like superwoman and will be able to really increase my workouts and pretty much revolutionize my world! I like the info in this update from Arianna Huffington about what happened to her after finally getting those 8 hours of sleep each night.
I encourage anyone reading this to give this sleep challenge a try. Lawd knows we all need it!

One Response to "My Resolution"
Nicole Says:
January 12th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
What an awesome resolution!
B.K. (Before kids, because Before Simon doesn't sound as nice :p) I needed 10 hours to really function well. I do not get that anymore. I'm like you – I tend to stay up late bc it's my "me" time and our "us" time and I really savor it. Then I get awakened multiple times per night most nights by 4yo and 21mo. And then I walk around all day wondering why I feel like sh*t. I aim for 8 and am grateful for what I get I guess I should nap but I am so not a napper.
Good luck and enjoy!!

Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities
While the need to address disparities in care is well known, few strategies for reducing disparities have been studied systematically.
Read more
Lynch and others reviewed 98 studies examining the association between income equality and health. They found little support for the idea that income inequality plays a major role in population health differences between or within most countries. Support was strongest for a link in the United States, however, so they completed a review of 100-year U.S. national and 30-year U.S. regional trends in mortality and compared those trends with U.S. income inequality. The analysis showed little support for a link between income inequality in the United States and population health over time, except for mortality from suicide and homicide. The analyses appear in The Milbank Quarterly (2004;82(1):5-99 and 2004;82(2):355-400). Lynch and co-author George Davey Smith are recipients of Robert Wood Johnson Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research.
Q: First, a few definitions. In your abstract you mention "rich" countries. How do you define "rich" and "poor"?
A: If you look at per capita GDP [gross domestic product], 20 or 30 countries stand out as being much richer than the rest. There's a well-known association between per capita GDP and life expectancy in poorer countries. In richer countries, variation in population health is not strongly linked to income. Trying to explain that variation is part of what led to this area of research.
Q: Can you define "health" as you used the term in your research?
A: Up front in our paper, we say that we need to think specifically about health, and not in terms of generalities. The tendency is to talk about health as this generic thing.
When you're studying the relationship between income inequality and health, you need to be specific in terms of what health outcome you're talking about: Is it suicide, breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, depression? The way we structure societies might have different effects on alcoholism than it will on breast cancer, for example, and the relationship between income inequalities may be different for each disease or condition. Some processes linked to income inequality have more plausible explanations for certain outcomes than others. So if lower-income people get stressed because they're not doing as well as others, that might show up in the rates of violence or suicide, but not so much in the rate of breast cancer, for example.
Q: What is the income inequality-health hypothesis?
A: We all know that being rich or poor affects your health as an individual: we know the rich do better. The income-inequality hypothesis says that it's the size of the gap between the rich or poor that makes a difference, regardless of any one person being rich or poor. Think of it as the gap between a ceiling and a floor. Maybe in country A there's seven feet between the ceiling and the floor; in country B, the floor is at the same level but the ceiling is higher. The income inequality hypothesis says that country B will have poorer health overall.
Q: What are the mechanisms behind that relationship?
A: There are two schools of thought. One is a psychosocial hypothesis: people make social comparisons, and poorer people see richer people doing better and that essentially makes poorer people feel bad. It causes stress and anxiety that could lead to increased depression, violence, poorer nutrition and other negative results.
The other hypothesis says that the income inequality gap is a marker for other social policies. For example, take two countries—the United States and Sweden. The income gap is smaller in Sweden, but there are also lots of other differences between the countries: social, economic and health policy differences, to name a few. So when you see better health in Sweden, it may not be due to income inequality but may indicate that income inequality is a marker for other social investments the Swedes make to improve health.
Q: Can you give us an overview of the findings?
A: Part 1 was the first systematic review in this area. We were motivated to do it because no one had gone through every single study and reviewed them all. While we may have missed one or two, the omission of those would not seriously affect the overall pattern of the findings.
The review shows that the evidence is limited for international differences, across countries, for income inequality being related to health. When you look at countries other than the United States—Canada, Spain, Australia, Sweden, and others—you don't see a relationship. It may be that an inequality threshold must be reached before you see an effect, because among the richest countries, the United States is the country with the most income inequality.
Then in Part 2 we say well, if this relationship holds in the United States, what does it look like over time? If income inequality really is a major determinant of population health, then when you change income inequality, health should change. We looked at that idea over a century, and it was difficult to generate much support for a relationship. We looked at many different causes of death, and except for suicide and homicide, it was difficult to generate support for a relationship between income inequality and mortality.
For example: the largest decline in income inequality was from the end of the Depression to World War II, and we did not see a resulting increase in population health outcomes. However, at that same time, smoking underwent a huge surge in popularity. I've heard people make the argument that reducing the income equality helped made cigarettes more available to more people and so declining income inequality may have had a perverse effect on population health because it helped fuel the rise in smoking.
Q: So in the end, there's no solid link between the size of the gap between the rich and the poor in a country and the health of that country's population?
A: Back to that ceiling and floor analogy: I think we are saying that as long as the floor is high enough and extensive enough—as long as there is a minimum standard of wages, health care, job conditions—then overall the population's health will be OK. If the social floor is high enough, the ceiling probably doesn't matter too much. That's the big story for population health.
The other theme is that sometimes when we look at things in one point in time, the relationship looks very promising and we can make up all kinds of plausible stories about how it works. But when we look at the same things over time, it's hard to see how there's a plausible relationship. That's the case with the relationship between income inequality and health. To link income inequality changes to changes in health, income inequality has to be linked somehow to risk factors for major disease outcomes over time, and we've seen that it just isn't, except for maybe suicide and homicide.
Q: Why measure income inequality, rather than education or some other measure?
A: Income inequality is only one measure of the amount of inequality in a society. It's a convenient thing to study because income data are easily available. You could easily talk about education inequality in the same way, but that's trickier to measure and compare, both within and across countries. At the individual level, education is an important precursor to income. At a social level, when you're talking about income inequality in a society, income is a convenient marker for education.
I think education is likely to be very important, however. There's one study in the United States that shows that the effects of income inequality on mortality disappear when you adjust for educational differences.
Q: Why is it important to do these kinds of studies?
A: If you're interested in maximizing population health, you want to know the kinds of social arrangements that will help you do so as well as what societal characteristics are conducive to better health. People talk about democratic structures and access to health care—are these systems really conducive to better health? One element of answering that question involves finding out what size gap between the rich and poor is a country willing to tolerate, and how does it impact the health of the people there. The United States has high income inequality amongof all industrialized nations, and this research was motivated by that fact—we were trying to find out how income inequality is associated with health.
While the need to address disparities in care is well known, few strategies for reducing disparities have been studied systematically.

I remember very clearly sitting at a desk about to take my Geology midterm exam when it occurred to me that I didn't really belong there. The first question on the test was "What is an aquifer?". I considered it for a moment and then I wrote "I don't care" in the blank, took my paper to the front of the class and turned it in. The professor looked at me quizzically and I just smiled and walked out. I went home and called my girlfriend.
"I think I just dropped out of college," I said.
"You what?!?!"
"Yeah, I just turned in my unfinished exam and walked out. I don't plan on going back."
She told me that it was a bad decision and that I should reconsider but I was steadfast. I didn't know why but I felt in my heart of hearts that college just wasn't for me and that my true education was going to be somehow tied to that little 4-track machine I just bought a few weeks ago. I literally couldn't think of anything else. I would sit in class and write love letters to the damned thing instead of taking notes. I had definitely crossed the line from mere preoccupation into deep obsession so I figured hey, if I was going to be obsessed I might as well go all in.
For the next few months I frantically recorded everything I could and gradually I started to get better and better at using all of the 4-track's limitations and idiosyncrasies to my advantage. I let some friends hear my songs and they encouraged me to keep going. I was introduced to the music of The Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, Boredoms, Frank Zappa and Ween and they all inspired me to push my limits even further out into the left field. The Pod, Lumpy Gravy and Songs for Swinging Larvae became my holy books and my primitive bedroom studio became my church.
After amassing hours of tape I culled it down to the best bits and dubbed some copies for my friends. The first collection was called Elves in Heat and, much like the aforementioned Lumpy Gravy, it consisted of two sidelong tape collages mixing songs with bizarre audio experiments. Shortly thereafter, I completed another collection called Negative Reinforcement and circulated that one among my friends as well. Over time, I moved onto other endeavors and the whole Pilesar thing became more of a side project as I tried to work on my more "serious" music. It wasn't long before my first two tapes were buried and forgotten under all the newer material I was making.
Fast forward to 2007. For the last several years I had been putting my music up all over the internet and I finally decided to start my own official website where I could consolidate all of my output in one place. It was at this point I remembered the Elves… and Negative Reinforcement material and thought it'd be fun to make it all available for release. As I listened back to the tapes however I realized that much of the music was just too bad or embarrassing for me to let out into the wild so I spent some time compiling my favorite parts and cutting out the icky bits. I also added a few overdubs here and there and in the end came up with a new collection that contained songs from my first two tapes plus a few other odds and ends that had been previous unreleased in any official capacity. I got the tunes mastered, made some artwork and then posted the resulting album on my site as a new version of Negative Reinforcement.
This version stayed online for a period of several months before I decided to take it down. I hated the artwork and still felt a little unsure about whether or not I wanted people to hear it. So, again, I locked the album away in the vault and tried to forget about it. No such luck.
So here we are seven years later and after remastering the audio and making new cover art I decided to unleash this collection on the world one more time. I must admit that in some ways I'm still quite embarrassed by this music. It's chaotic and the humor is at times extremely juvenile. It's dissonant and atonal and occasionally it can even get quite disturbing. For example, there's a song called "Necropedofecalpheliac" that I've mercifully hidden somewhere on the album where hopefully no one will hear it. You can look for it if you wish but I have no idea why you'd want to! It's a little in-joke between me and my brother but I could see how someone else might hear the tune and be creeped out by it.
You may be asking yourself at this point why I'd even offer to put this out if I have so many issues with it but the answer is quite simple. This music, as flawed and bizarre as it is, was simply a joy to make. It represents one of the most exciting and inspired periods of my musical development and I think it offers a keen insight into where I came from and where I may be going in the future. To this day, I still use a lot of the tricks and techniques that I learned back in 1998 and to me that's reason enough to share it again. At times, the music sounds exactly like what it is: some dumb kid mucking around with some equipment that he has no clue how to operate. But at other times I honestly feel like there's something there that transcends all that. There is an honesty and untamed enthusiasm that permeates throughout and it's an atmosphere that I have been struggling to capture ever since. I will admit that this music will not be for everyone. There's some salty language and if you're the type to get easily offended you may want to steer clear. With all that said however, I do think there's something here to be enjoyed and if you're feeling adventurous I invite you to give it a listen.

Since I'm already scraping the bottom of the barrel, I decided to release a couple of other archival recordings. The first one is called The Pressures of Need and was a collaboration between myself and my friend Mike Coleman (Karakul). I've also released this before but this is a brand new version with extra songs and new artwork. Like Negative Reinforcement above, this album isn't for the faint of heart. It's just as out there and crazy but the songs are longer and slightly more focused if you believe it.
The second one is called Subuniversal (parts 1-3) and it's a 17+ minute experimental tape collage/drone piece that I made back in 2009. I had it floating around on my hard drive for a while and I finally decided to put it out for all to hear. Enjoy!
Happy belated New Year and all that mess! I still haven't taken down my Christmas tree so how's that for lazy?
Anyway, let me give you a brief rundown of some of the things I've got planned for 2014. For starters, the Sugar Flop album has been released and you can download it here for FREE. If you're into insufferable noise pop tantrums then this will definitely be your bag! I have plans to release another one sometime in the future but I figured I'd let this one sink in a little bit first. Enjoy!
On the Pilesar front, I'm working on a series of three separately themed EPs but they won't be done for another several months. To keep my millions of rabid fans satiated in the meantime, I've decided to release a few archival albums that I've just been sitting on for some reason or another. The first one is called Negative Reinforcement and it's a collection of some my very earliest work (we're talking 1998-2001). I released it back in 2007 on my site but then pulled it down shortly thereafter because I was so embarrassed by it. I'm still pretty mortified by this music but I figured that if nothing else it's an interesting glimpse into my humble origins. Why not share it? The tracks are mastered and ready to go but I need to rework the cover art because the original makes me cringe. If all goes well, I should have it up on Bandcamp sometime later this month.
After that, I'll be releasing another album called Shenantics that I recorded sometime between 2007-2009. I tried putting it out several times before but I kept running into technical problems and I even lost all of the files at one point. Luckily, I found all the mixdowns on an unmarked CD-R in the bottom of my filing cabinet so I decided I better put this thing out before I lose it again! As for the music, it's definitely one of my favorite things I've ever done. The concept was to make a recording that sounded like ritual music from another planet. There's a lot of percussion and chanting and crazy electronics floating on top of it all. The cover art is really awesome too so I can't wait to get this thing out the door and into your earbuds!
In addition to everything listed above, I'm also working on a couple of new duo projects with some friends of mine. One's more experimental rock and the other will be mostly percussion based instrumentals. I'll post more about all that as things develop.
Finally, I've added an Other Projects tab to my navigation bar so you can check out some of my non-Pilesar related exploits (Mosquito Death Squadron, Pulord, Art Nada, etc). That should definitely keep you busy for a while!
Until we meet again!
Look at what I done dug up!
A little over a year ago a friend of mine asked me to do an interview for his radio show so I went to his house, had a couple of beers and shot the shit with him for about an hour while he recorded the whole thing. It was a fun experience but honestly I had mostly forgotten about it until just recently when I saw the interview posted on his Soundclick page. It's always weird listening back to yourself after a while but I think I may have actually said a couple of decent things and I enjoyed listening to some of his takes on my tunes. This was recorded a few months after I released Stereo Space so you'll hear us talking a lot about that album and about my record process in general. Anyways, here's to posterity!!!
Hey gang,
A few days ago I got a wild hair and decided to start a brand new project (because apparently I don't have enough already!) and the result was this obnoxious noise pop monstrosity called Sugar Flop. I don't what to say about it other than it's an outlet for me to vent some of my most hyperactive, instantly disposable work. I crank everything to eleven, blast out some super distorted drum beats and sing silly songs on top of it through a toy megaphone and delay pedal. Occasionally, I'll tweak the formula a bit and add some synths and other overdubs but for the most part I don't spend more than 30 minutes to an hour on any one piece.
This all isn't to say that it's necessarily bad, thoughtless music but in light of all the more "serious" projects I'm working on I needed something that was more immediately gratifying and not too labor intensive. You know, a simple way to blow off some steam. I also wanted to try making music outside of the confines of Pilesar, just to see what would happen. I'm sure some of you will think it sounds just like some of my other work but I guess for me it's all about jazzing up the process and my mindset. Anyways, it's a fun little experiment and I hope you enjoy it too. Here are a few of my favorite tracks so far:
I got a whole bunch of other projects in the works too but I'll write more about that later. Chances are I won't update this site again before the new year so I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday!
New news!
Hey gang,
I've been slowly piecing together a new album (or two… maybe three?) over the last several months so I apologize for the lack of updates recently. To make it up to you, I've decided to post a couple of the songs I've been working on. They're both short compositions and neither one of them is 100% done but I think they're good enough to share. Anywhosit, hope you dig them!
In other news, I've decided to start a podcast that focuses on experimental lo-fi home recording. Of course I'll play a bunch of my own stuff (it's my podcast after all!) but I plan on playing the music of others as well. I'll have some special guests, lively conversations, studio performances and more. It should be fun and I'll let you know as soon as it goes live!
Fishing for compliments
Hey all,
Just wanted to post the vids from my two most recent shows. The first one is an all electronics drone/ambient/etc piece from back in August at the Electric Maid in Takoma Park, MD. The second one is an all percussion performance at the Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center in Silver Spring, MD.
These will probably be the last live performances I do for a while because I want to spend the rest of the year developing a creativity workshop for percussionists and I have a few studio projects to finish as well. I'll be posting some new music in the not-so-distant future so come back soon for more updates.
In other news, I'm planning on taking on some students so if you live in the DC area and are interested in taking drum lessons from me don't be a stranger and drop me a line:).
Best Wishes!

"...From the Land of Sky Blue Waters. From the land of pines' lofty balsams, Comes the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing. Brewed where nature works her wonders, Aged for many moons, gently mellowed, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing. From across the rippling water, Through the whisp'ring pines and birches, Comes the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing. Comes a call to cool enchantment, Comes a call to cool refreshment, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing. Hints of lakes and sunset breezes, Dance and sparkle in each glassful, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing..." Dylan probably wished he'd written this while flying high on Hamms.

Report: Our Band Could Be Your Concert

UPDATE: The entire show is now streaming at NPR.
Last night, a host of current indie acts took on songs by the classic bands featured in Michael Azerrad's 2001 indie Bible Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991 at Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom for an event titled Our Band Could Be Your Concert. Highlights included St. Vincent and members of Dirty Projectors slaying Big Black's "Bad Penny" and "Kerosene" (and Dirty Projectors doing several Black Flag tracks on their own), Ted Leo doing Minor Threat's "Filler" backed by a reel-to-reel tape machine, Wye Oak fuzzing out a couple Dinosaur Jr. tunes, tUnE-yArDs doing an impressionistic, vocal-looping version of Sonic Youth's "The Burning Spear", and Dan Deacon providing ample freak-out fodder with his band's take on Butthole Surfers.
Special guests included Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington singing Minutemen songs with Delicate Steve, and Craig Finn (dressed like a cop) introducing Titus Andronicus, who covered early Replacements songs including "Kids Don't Follow" and "Treatment Bound". (Finn would later stage dive as well.) The night concluded with Deacon, Titus Andronicus's Patrick Stickles, and tUnE-yArDs' Merrill Garbus singing Nirvana songs (Azerrad also wrote the Nirvana biography Come as You Are).
Check out a few photos of the gig by Alexander Stein below, then head over to our photo book for more full-size snaps. And don't forget to stop by our Facebook page for even more photos. Watch Dan Deacon sing "Negative Creep" and Garbus do "Lithium" backed by Wye Oak and Dirty Projectors drummer Brian McOmber, along with YouTubes of Titus Andronicus and Ted Leo below:
Watch the New Titus Andronicus Video
By Larry Fitzmaurice on April 29, 2011 at 10:10 a.m. EDT
For the premiere of the video for The Monitor standout "No Future Part III: Escape From No Future", New Jersey rockers Titus Andronicus had folks across the Garden State help debut the clip (you can check out a list of all the participants here). The video, directed by Tom Scharpling, is a love letter to all things New Jersey-- so if you're from there, see how many locations (and highway signs) you recognize. Watch it below.
Watch Titus Andronicus Cover the They Might Be Giants Song "Birdhouse in Your Soul"
By Tom Breihan on April 12, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
On the A.V. Club's video series "A.V. Undercover", bands pick songs to cover from a list, and then play their covers in a studio in the A.V. Club offices. The latest participants are ambitious Jersey punkers Titus Andronicus, who play an extended sample of the Charles Bukowski poem "Bluebird" from an iPhone before launching into a rough, ramshackle take on They Might Be Giants' nerd-pop classic "Birdhouse in Your Soul". Frontman Patrick Stickles wears a shirt with the word "AMY" written in electrical tape, presumably a shoutout to absent Titus member Amy Klein. Watch the video at the A.V. Club.

The house was very nice, clean and the scenery was top notch. Nothing I could add to improve the stay. Thank you very much!!
Unbelievable place!
The place was amazing, and we had a great time despite poor ski conditions. It is in a great location, and had everything a large group of up to 10 could want.
