ELROY WAS HERE: Cruise Elroy's gauntlet-dropping EP pair leads the pack
For Chris Merritt, Cruise Elroy has been a labor of love years in the works, built on the solid foundation that was the song of the same title, a seven-four exercise in pop-jazz perfection. Daring continuously to push the envelope of what great pop music can and should be, he's existed on the fringes of pop, building melodies of the Ben Folds ilk while taking his lyrics in the vein of a less snarky Jonathan Coulton. There's always been more to Merritt's music than easy comparisons may make clear, but it's a good start. Now with the arrival of EP1 and EP2 from Cruise Elroy, the full spectrum of this sound is immediately evident.
While the first EP takes the opportunity to update early Merritt faves "Tarmac", "Feminine Mind" and "Rain King" via a cleaner studio veneer, it also provides us with the songwriter's strongest pop contribution yet. Via "The Fever," which speaks to the search for truth between what we can see, smell or touch versus what we sense might be true on the fringes, Merritt hits us with his catchiest chorus while peppering the musical arrangement with his trademark odes to video-game music and off-kilter kitsch. "Shorty" opens the EP with an extended 5/4 disco-funk breakdown, then segues into a surprisingly straightforward dose of keyboard-tinged nostalgia complete with the best fuzzed-out bass outside an early Ben Folds Five effort. And even the new studio recordings of Merritt classics shine as examples of remarkably astute songwriting, particularly "Feminine Mind" for it's twist on Billy Joel's "She's Only A Woman To Me" — "She's a killer but she's always on time; she's brutal but she's never unkind," Merritt sings without the dark edge of Joel's misogyny tainting the proceeding. And "Rain King" softens the edges of the lo-fi gem via a pair of extended instrumental interludes at the song's center and conclusion while heightening the contrast between the bare melody with the trio's deftly layered vocal harmonies.
But if EP1 introduces you to the sounds of Merritt and Cruise Elroy in a non-confrontational setting, EP2 becomes positively revolutionary, evident from the moment you crash ears-first into "Sisyphus." Thirty seconds in and you've thrown out any comparisons to Ben Folds as the band embraces prog-rock leanings much more in tune with bands like Wax Fang. Quite unlike anything else I've heard on any pop album this year, "Sisyphus" takes everything that's great about Merritt's songwriting and encapsulates it within a melodic structure that demands a schizophrenic arrangement. All but demanding headphone listening, the song features layers upon layers which, peeled back, illustrate an artist coming fully into his own. And four minutes in, the Chris Martin-inspired harmonic breakdown seals it, making repeat listens compulsory.
And if you weren't already sold, the EP's closer, "Ghost," which opens with the best rock intro not composed by Styx, will cement you as a lifelong fan. A freewheeling pop masterpiece, Ghost reminds one immediately of the more experimental side of Weezer ("The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"), a symphonic synthesized sensation which aptly showcases why I've argued for years that Merritt is the best pop songwriter you're not yet listening to.
These two EPs make it tantalizingly clear that great pop music won't be denied. With the tease of a full-length still on the horizon, take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the sonic world of Cruise Elroy. Nothing else this year comes even remotely close to this, and you ignore it at your own peril.
Elroy was here, and he's thrown down the gauntlet.
FEATURED SONG: Nikki Lerner – "Plea"
Nikki Lerner's entire album Longings is well worth your listen, but if you've only got time for one song, try the subtle building "Plea," which showcases her pop-meets-jazz leanings in full-on glory. This is an example of a song taking its time to earn a listener's respect, building layer upon layer of melody as Lerner's vocals swim among the notes, elevating them from mere pop to something significantly more. This is mournful blues, soaring pop and multi-textured jazz all rolled into one five minute track, something you have to hear again and again to fully absorb. From the pizzicato strings at the first chorus, which immediately make the hairs on the neck stand alert, to the background vocals which add depth and clarity to the melody, this is a song built upon attention to detail. Every detail brings you back. By the time the song builds to its apex — "Please forgive me!" lingering in the air over thundering toms and an epic string instrumental provided by jazz violinist Zach Brock, there's no going back.
You can buy the album via her Bandcamp page.
Kat Dahlia's "Crazy" proves it: She is THE best thing in pop music.
Is it crazy that it only took one listen to this song and I fell in love?
Is it crazy that I know all the words and I can't help but sing along?
Fuck no it's not crazy ….
One listen and you'll understand. Kat Dahlia is for real, and she's coming to take control of your earphones.
Lea Michele overacts as her new single "Cannonball" sinks hook-less, like a stone
"I'll fly like a cannonball," Glee-alum Lea Michele sings on her first original single, but what goes up eventually must also come down in a gory explosion of pyrotechnic overkill. At least that's what happens here in a single which explodes in all the wrong ways, something only Michael Bay could fully appreciate.
Akin to something from a bad Broadway rock musical, Michele overacts her way through the video, backed by her own overwrought vocals, verses and chorus merging into one dense morass of pop miscalculation. The basic message is this: I'm lonely inside, but I'm going to get out there once I light this fuse and live my life, today … today … today …" Michele repeats words and phrases as though beating us with a blunt rhetorical instrument will make us like this song even in the slightest.
I in turn will start living today, and my first step will be vowing never to play this song again. If you're feeling particularly masochistic, you can press play on the video below and then make the same vow never to do so again. But don't say I didn't warn you!
07 – Interview: Kat Dahlia
On this episode of the "Hear! Hear!" and Now Podcast, I have the opportunity to speak with Kat Dahlia, a 22-year-old pop / hip-hop songwriter who's already made waves with last year's viral hit "Gangsta."
Dig beneath the surface and it's easy to hear her disappointment with those in her generation who remain content bragging about accomplishments which in the end mean little. This, juxtaposed against her own family struggles as a first-generation Cuban-American growing up in Miami, sets her apart from most in the genre.
With a mix of fun party songs and more serious looks at the world in which she lives,one thing is clear: Kat Dahlia has something to say coupled with the drive to take over your pop landscape. Listen up, she's coming to a city near you and there's the chance to get in on this thing from the ground floor!

LOVE ME BETTER: Kat Dahlia's "The High" as visually arresting a video as the song is unforgettable
From a pure pop standpoint, Kat Dahlia's new single "The High" is both invigorating and unabashedly ear-catching. The video she's crafted for the song, a five-minute intense look at a violent relationship come to a brutal conclusion, is as visually arresting as the song is undeniably a hit in the making.
The single, off the 22-year-old's latest mix-tape Seeds, is one of those graphic and brutally honest videos you have to see to believe. Even when the video at times seems on the verge of falling into Twilight territory, the song remains there in all its intense, stutter-pop glory to keep drawing you in.
"You say you're gonna love me better," she sings mournfully, but there's no glossing over it. "But for now and for forever it's a lie." This is love in vain, even when it does make for visually and aurally invigorating art. The underlying pain of her experience is brutally evident. Consider this 2014's first monster hit in the making and a must-hear.

Australian hip-hopper Dialekt's "Fortress" is a perfect swing for the pop-radio fences
Australian hip-hopper Dialekt has a lot going for him, particularly on his solid single "Fortress." First off there's the hook, which echoes but doesn't carbon-copy the piano-tinged flair of "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna. Then there's the chorus, sung ably by Xy Latu, which is as memorable as anything you'll hear from Mikky Ekko or Gotye, a perfect ear-worm which does as much to demand repeat plays as does Dialekt's rapping. That's the clincher, though, is that this kid has serious flow. At first I wasn't convinced — the first verse sounded a bit too much like B.o.B.'s work on "Airplanes" — but when he really gets going during the second verse, it is immediately clear there's more here in the vein of Macklemore than anything else in pop-versed hip-hop.
No guarantee he'll hook our ears with anything else, but "Fortress" is a solid first swing toward the fences. I could hear this song getting plenty of top 40 radio-play, and the video's professionally produced, with a distinctive look. Start it at the two-minute mark if you're not interested in the pseudo-story presented by the video, which in the end is just a chance to get Dialekt to light a few giant flares and let a helicopter spread color around him as he raps. What matters is that the quality of the song speaks for itself. This is everything pop programmers salivate over. Will it be enough to break Dialekt here in America? I'm going to bet yes.
ALL YOU EVER DID WAS WRECK ME: Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" as an examination of teenage hypersexuality
So, in the wake of the VMAs and Miley Cyrus's unfortunate Twitter-bait bomb which was Twerking It 2013, you think she's undeserving of any pop respect. And on first glance the video for "Wrecking Ball" stands to reiterate that. But give it a second look / listen. What, I have to wonder, is wrong with a teen sensation growing up and taking creative and artistic risks, even if it means perhaps alienating her from today's crop of tween pop followers? Bear in mind Cyrus came to instant fame years ago and has aged alongside her audience — is there not room for a young woman to make her own moves in a male-dominated industry?
Here Miley pushes to take control of her own body, claiming her sexuality as her own as a backdrop to a song which, lyrically, crushes her beneath the memories of a relationship left in ruin. And while you may object to the video's seemingly casual nudity and the often awkward sexual juxtapositions as Miley sings of taking to love like a wrecking ball only to be wrecked by the very love she so desires, bear in mind — she doesn't owe you anything. Beyond giving pop fans a hook-filled melody, which this song does repeatedly and with gusto, her job as an artist in this pop era is to produce hits. And "Wrecking Ball" is a hit to anyone with ears. Whether her personal life is a mess, or her decisions as a young woman violate your personal sense of "shame," I say resoundingly: "So what?" In that case she's probably not singing this song in your direction anyway.
All that should and does matter is the song itself. Imagine getting this single sent to your inbox without a name attached, without the baggage of the video, and listen. Better yet, load the video and then turn your screen off, then press play.
Walk around the room and listen to that plaintive opening verse, a hook unto itself. Then the chorus hits, taking the song from plaintive pop to full-on anthem. "I came in like a wrecking ball / I never hit so hard in love / all I wanted was to break your walls / all you ever did was wre-eh-ehck me! You wre-eh-ehck me!" This is everything Lady Gaga still wishes she could put out there, every inch of what Katy Perry's "Roar" can't reach.
Love really is war, and when you lose you spend so much wasted time blaming yourself for the failings, to the point of self-destruction. That's where the twisted sexual imagery of the video comes to bear. Yes it's disjointed, creepy, desperate and disturbing, but it's a view into what many of our young teenage women grow up thinking they have to do to win in love. Robin Thicke can put out a song like "Blurred Lines" which all but endorses the "I can treat you like an object because deep down you really like it" mentality, and yet we publicly scorn only the women who take part in the video, not the men who take credit for the song itself. Miley is a slut for twerking it onstage while Robin Thick plays the role of R&B referree.
And when our sisters, our daughters, fall in love and have their hearts broken, they're left reeling, wondering what they didn't do that could have kept the man in their life from wrecking them. Far from glorifying young women and open sexuality, as the Guardian obliquely opines, the video implies the opposite. The whole world tells me I should be this way, how could I be the only one who's wrong?
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should have let you win
What message do we send when we trash the messenger — in this case an overly sexualized music video — when the message within is that in a world where everything's hyper-sexualized, it's okay coming from a man but when a woman claims even a touch of that sexual power, it's off limits? I'm sure Miley Cyrus isn't worried too deeply about this debate as she pushes "Wrecking Ball" toward what's almost certain to be mega-hit status. But while she didn't write the song, she uses the video to hint at the pain and hurt which lies below both the lyrics and the nudity in her video.
All of which warrants a second listen if you've chosen already to write the song off as meaningless … or worse, mere filth.
John Ondrasik throws pop music a lifeline with stunning single "What If"
Ask yourself for a minute just what makes for a full-throttle pop stunner, and "What If" by Five For Fighting masterfully answers. Start with a memorable piano hook, then layer on thundering percussion and staccato vocals over an eventual guitar hook at the chorus which simply can't be expunged from your mind. Draw listeners in with the music, then hit them with a deceptively simple line of questions which stand to probe the deepest failings of a relationship, putting us in the unenviable position of seeing things through another's eyes.
"What If" proves itself to be up to the challenge of throwing 2013's pop fans a lifeline, an instantly repeatable song which reveals more on each listen as we dig deeper into what first seemed simple but later becomes far more complex. "What if you told my lies? What if I cried with your eyes?" Ondrasik asks, emotion brimming over from every falsetto note left ringing in our ears. "Could anyone keep us down?" Here, he sings to an unseen second person of a relationship on the rocks, questioning both himself and her about where the failings lie. Is it me? Is it you? Are we both equally to blame, for simply never considering the other's point of view? What if all that's needed to save the relationship would be for both to "rise up" and admit that no one's right?
It fits perfectly in line with Lucas Jack's "Paralyzed" off Sun City, another song which dared to pick apart a broken relationship knowing as he did that there might not be a way to put the shards of shattered glass back together. "What If" does this with a hook aimed more for mass consumption than deep-thoughts contemplation, but it is refreshing to hear such nuanced lyricism on such a dead-on-arrival format as pop top 40 radio. If Five For Fighting has a hit with this, there's evermore potential for songs like Lucas Jack's to push the boundary of pop introspection even further.
Take a chance for a minute and give this a listen. He's thrown us a lifeline, but if we don't take it …
"These Diamonds In Our Hands" — Cris Cab's "When We Were Young" melds Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas for robust single
This single by Miami-based singer-songwriter Cris Cab caught me by surprise this afternoon, a refreshing blend of Dave Matthews instrumentation with vocals which blend echoes of Rob Thomas with hints of reggae in the hook. The overall backdrop, when played on repeat, keeps drawing me back to Paul Simon's Graceland, particularly when the horns come in strong at the 2:35 mark. This is a sunshine-soaked pop hit-in-the-making which should easily warrant proper headphone treatment followed by a proper blasting from your car's speakers as you cruise down the highway.
If you dig the single as much as I have, check out his Red Road mix-tape, which arrives ahead of Cab's upcoming debut album due this fall. The mix features collaborations with Hip Hop artists Mike Posner and Wyclef Jean, and can be streamed via SoundCloud.
Blindly soldiering on, Josh Krajcik produces a solid post X-Factor album with Blindly, Lonely, Lovely
He finished second in a reality show, but let's face the facts: Josh Krajcik has talent which didn't need a Simon Cowell-led talent show to showcase it. So it doesn't come as a surprise to hear Blindly, Lonely, Lovely showcasing his blues-tinged growl over larger-than-life arrangements which accentuate his ability to merge blues, rock and pop, all within a slick package.
"Back Where We Belong" brings "big" to the forefront, with its massive arrangement of piano, thundering drums and Krajcik's lung-deflating vocals, and at times the song itself becomes overwhelmed by that top-heavy heft. Sometimes less is more, which "Nothing" illustrates as the album's opener. That's the song which needs to be spread around the internet as the reason this guy needs to be heard. That or the southern-blues keeper "The Remedy," which could have fitted itself nicely into any Ray Lamontagne album yet released, or at the least as a John Mayer Continuum b-side. Steep yourself in those vocals at the chorus, along with that rising tide of horns, and try not to get swept up in the mood.
This isn't an album he'll be able to build a whole career on, but clearly reality success didn't spoil him — he's used the time in the Fox spotlight to build an audience and then released an album perfectly in line with what those fans wanted to hear, free from obsessive studio interference. With album tracks like "Don't Make Me Hopeful" and the album-closing stunner "Let Me Hold You" anchoring this mix, there's plenty to hope for in this songwriter's future. If you weren't already sucked in by the solid craft illuminated by his first two independent albums (try "Atavistic" on for size if you don't believe me), I can't think of a better mainstream introduction to his sound than what Blindly, Lonely, Lovely delivers.
The 188.8.131.52's subvert pop, punk, surf and rockabilly expectations with Bomb The Twist, the best EP of 2012 you didn't hear
Play this EP straight through and you'll feel like you've just taken a time-warp back into the classic era of pop singles. "Three Coolchicks" may be the best mock-Beatles track I've heard to really hit on the sound the band made famous, while distilling how that sound must have sounded to these three Japanese women coming up in the era of Quentin Tarantino "aural re-evaluation."
Yoshiko "Ronnie" Fujiyama, Sachiko Fujii and Akiko Omo formed the 22.214.171.124's in Tokyo back in 1992, achieving a modicum of underground fame when they briefly appeared in Kill Bill Volume 1 performing "Woo Hoo" by the Rock-A-Teens, but their music has yet to catch fire. That boggles my mind in this era of retro-pop nostalgia — the EP's title track sounds like a long-lost Bill Haley smash as though filtered through the Ramones with a touch of surf-rock Beach Party mix thrown in for good measure. This is the essence of "fun" and "rock" distilled into 18 minutes of furiously twisted pop. Like Tarantino the music ably steals from an era long past, but the key is that filter which is applied liberally to the music to make it distinctly theirs. That alone makes this worth a listen. I dare you not to start singing along with "Dream Boy" as though it truly was the logical follow-up to the Chordettes or Leslie Gore.
Casey Abrams' new "Get Out!" video puts a humorous spin on obsessive crushes with an unforgettable hook
Memo to Casey Abrams. As much as we all love your songs and want you to succeed, it's dangerous to film a video where you're seen stalking a hot chick wearing her best "I Love NY" t-shirt, leering behind her like Seattle's latest serial-killer-in-waiting. That, and telling a girl "you got me like a bug bite and now you're under my skin" while your eyes bug out eerily might not quite come off as "sexy" as you're hoping. This time it gets you punched in the face. Next time she might cut you, and we'd hate to see you get hurt, with so much great pop songwriting yet for you to do!
All kidding aside, this video perfectly sums up what made Casey so damned likeable when he was on American Idol back in 2010. If this hook doesn't win you over, and you don't find something to champion via this interview I conducted with him for PopMatters, I then officially excuse you. Please now safely give up pop music for life, you're just not going to be in the right frame of mind for music which doesn't take itself so seriously.
Lately I've been going crazy looking for a juicy pop hit to champion as we head toward spring. Well, folks, this is the one … roll those windows down and crank it full-volume, make sure the whole neighborhood hears. Represent for happy-go-lucky bearded weirdos everywhere, because with a hook this good, if this can't be a hit I don't want to listen anymore.
Fall Out Boy knows what we did in the dark but hasn't figured out it's been six years since their relevance expired
I wish Fall Out Boy could see just how far they've fallen since their career crashed and burned with the collapse of Folie a Deux. Unfortunately they think that a dash of Maroon 5 mock-swagger plus Bruno Mars-esque backdrop hooks equals a whole lot of Fun. And it's not. Not by a long shot. "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light 'Em Up)" merely showcases a band whose career long ago went up in smoke attempting to create a pop juggernaut while playing by the old rules, figuring we're all so desperate for a radio earworm we'll gladly submit our brains for their control.
While once a powerful fixture in the world of top 40 hitmaking, Infinity On High marked their peak, and the five-year absence after "hits" like "America's Suiteheart" failed to exceed trainwreck status suggests a total lack of direction. It's been a long slow slide, and worse yet, they think they can Save Rock and Roll with their absurdly titled sixth studio album, due out in April. If this single is the best they can do, I think rock and roll would rather die a slow painful death than to submit to Patrick Stump and Co. as its savior. Sorry boys … the fall-out shall be swift: This critic knows what your songs did during the hiatus, and he's not buying. Here's hoping the rest of America follows suit.
She may not want to go back to the 90's, but on No Fairy Tale Lisa Loeb fits right in with her hits.
Lisa Loeb states early on her latest album that she's not particularly eager to go back to the 90's, while managing to straddle the line between Fountains of Wayne-esque eighties nostalgia and Mike Doughty's longing to put the past behind him and get ears to focus on his latest output. Funny thing is, No Fairy Tale may not pick up right where we heard her on the Reality Bites soundtrack, but these songs still have the crisp fly-on-the-wall hooks that brought fans in the first place, proving that when a singer has pop smarts, they don't necessarily fade with age.
The title track in particular could be a long-lost Rilo Kiley out-take, daring fans to hit repeat and "share" on Facebook:
It's no fairy tale
There's no bread-crumb trail
To lead you back but it's just as well
You can close the book
And curse the turn it took
It told the true story of how you fell
And that's a better one to tell
This is one of those brisk pop albums which plays it straight, casting just the right spell to keep you listening from start to finish. I'm not going to say there's a ton of potential hits here, because what constitutes a "hit" is such an oblique term these days. But when a songwriter can follow something as poppy as "The 90s" with the equally impressive "A Hot Minute," it becomes clear why she's continued to put out singable pop nuggets for twenty years while we've yet to hear anything new from a flash-in-the-pan like Anna Nalick.
Nothing on No Fairy Tale suggests Loeb needs to take as long between albums as she has since 2004's The Way It Really Is, her last album aimed at adult pop audiences. No, it's not as relentlessly catchy as her ubiquitous hit, "Stay," but you'll only require a few listens to the new album to prove we really don't miss that slick sound. Resist the urge to live in the past, relying on false nostalgia to suggest there's nothing worth hearing in today's pop world. These dozen tracks prove Loeb still has pop smarts and hook-filled songs written in the now which capably fill the space between our headphones, just waiting for that moment when the chorus leaves our lips.
That's more than enough for me.
Dawn Richard gets to the heart of contemporary R&B on Goldenheart while proving her mettle as a pop songwriter
Dawn Richard, formerly the lead singer of Danity Kane and one-time collaborator with Sean Combs' Diddy-Dirty Money, jump-starts 2013 with her latest solo LP Goldenheart, which stands out as an affirmation of what good modern pop R&B can do when it gives real music a fighting chance. "Return of a Queen," "Golliath" and "Riot" launch this album with a sense that everyone involved simply wanted to make a great pop album, letting the music speak more than the usually requisite hype. The result is a song-cycle which showcases the depth of Richard's craft, filled with hooks which should lure people onto the dance-floor and then back home to those headphones, where they can pore over the intricate details.
"I'm searching to find my way back to the throne, and I know if I could climb back through these walls maybe I'd get home," Richard sings as "Return of a Queen," and she sounds perfectly within her element as she lifts the track far beyond easy comparisons. As the album progresses, we get drawn into the tempos and movements she requires for us to fully let our guard down, and the reward is an album of contemporary pop R&B which transcends the triple-filtered sludge radio wants to force down all our throats.
She even saves the best for last, with "Goldenheart" tying everything together via a beautifully evocative piano melody coupled with her fluid vocals to form a hybrid of classical pop. The result forces you to hit repeat to hear how everything fits into the whole of the album's concept, making this album ultimately a rewarding listening experience beyond what anyone would expect from a mere pop showpiece. From start to finish Goldenheart is sequenced to be a memorable listening experience which changes minds as to what R&B can accomplish.
Timberlake 2K13: JT set to bring new music, on his own terms, following up FutureSex LoveSounds after six year hiatus
I'm the one who sits and is obsessive about it before you even get to hear it. As close as I get to it , I don't know that I can physically torture myself year in and year out and expect it to fulfill me that way that it does, and the way that it is right now. I don't want to put anything out that I think is something I don't love. You just don't get that everyday, you have to wait for it.
The mighty Timberlake somewhat obliquely announced Thursday that new music is on the way, at long last, to follow up the wonder which was FutureSex LoveSounds, an album I still put on my turntable regularly as an example of what pop music can do when pushing on all cylinders. And let's just be honest here: Justin Timberlake is one of those rare pop icons who doesn't care what you think — if the music's not up to his standards, it won't come out. He knows what he's capable of producing, and he needs to meet those standards.
What has me excited is that this could be the opportunity to put the new music industry "singles first" paradigm to the test. If JT is smart, he's not going to push the concept of another album-length juggernaut at audiences looking for singles so catchy you need antibiotics to battle their virality. If the countdown on his website can be trusted, we're a bit more than a day away from the first big announcement. Here's hoping Timberlake brings a single ready to dominate the airwaves, and then has enough tricks up his sleeve for the remainder of the new year, so he can show the young crop of up-and-comers how pop music needs to be done in 2013.
Outasight drinks to living in the moment on "I'll Drink To That," off Nights Like These
Outasight doubles down on the high energy of Fun's "We Are Young" via his latest single "I'll Drink To That," an ode to clearing one's head in the city that never sleeps. "Times are hard so let's drink to what we've got," he sings on the instantly joinable chorus, more than earning the praise he's already received for Nights Like These since its release November 27. The Yonkers native has more than a single hit up his sleeve, however, blending rap, pop and rock on "Tonight's The Night" as well, an equally ear-bending twist of pop refreshment which already has achieved platinum status. For a casual pop listen with enough emphasis on solid hooks to keep you grooving through the entire listen, it's worth considering Outasight as we head toward the new year.
Breakbot's "Baby I'm Yours" proves French DJ's hooks have mainstream appeal — full album out today in US
Breakbot, already well regarded among DJs in France, is a multi-instrumentalist with talent and hooks to spare, something made immediately clear when listening to By Your Side. Out today in the US on Because Music / SIre, the LP features "Baby I'm Yours," an ear-catching blend of pop, eurodisco and funk, eerily reminiscent of Jamiroquai. Breakbot (a.k.a. Thibault Berland) explains his musical intentions: "I guess you could say my album is more a pop songs album than a Berlin techno record with water drops sounds in it – I wanted to make a pop journey that would have all my influences, without being a reference catalog."
The result, an album which features guest appearances from Irfane, Ruckazoid and Bjorn Synneby, showcases Berland's ability to craft ear-catching dance pop without sacrificing his instrumental integrity. "By Your Side" (Parts I and II) and "Programme" establish both sides of Breakbot's effective style — and if he continues in this direction, he's liable to establish as much of a name for himself here in the States as he has in Europe.
Tegan and Sara's "Closer" proudly outshines your oh-so-typical love jam
It's not just all physical
I'm the type who will get oh so critical
So let's make things physical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical
Forget everything you think you know about Tegan and Sara. Based on the thumping single "Closer," the first hint of what their upcoming album Heartthrob will deliver upon its January 29 release, expect the duo to bring the hooks in quantities even pop radio programmers can only ignore at their peril. These two have always brought a flair for powerful, memorable hooks when the right song demanded it ("Walking With A Ghost" anyone?) but never before have I heard anything from these two with such an undeniable sense of accessible fun. In a world overrun with Mumford clones and Adele wannabes, Tegan and Sara could finally have a breakthrough with songs that simply turn their already top-notch indie-pop up to "11." Expect this to be the first pop album of 2013 worth getting excited about!
"HEAR! HEAR!" EXCLUSIVE: The Winter Sounds' "The Sun Also Rises" Video and MP3
The brightest spot in New Orleans' pop music scene has to be The Winter Sounds, a band which brings the best of Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons and Snow Patrol together into one meaty sound worthy of repeat listens. The band's latest, Runner, comes out November 27. Today we have an exclusive on their brand new video for single "The Sun Also Rises," a shiny pop nugget with the pop hooks of Snow Patrol merged with the sonic heft of "Intervention"-era Arcade Fire. You can watch the video below, and download the mp3 for free here!
With serious pop potential, Mandy Barry needs less sonic clutter to let hooks shine
- – – – -
Though I aim for this site to cover all forms of pop music, sometimes I let real guilty-pleasure bubblegum too easily slip through the cracks. Mandy Barry's music clearly aims for the top 40 radio aesthetic, with a sound akin to early Rihanna, before "Umbrella" made her a household name. Having heard two of Barry's songs (the other being the four-to-the-floor Britney-esque club track "Girl Break Up") it's clear she's got an ear for hooks.
What she doesn't have is a producer with a deft touch. It's a shame "Second to Breathe," which overall is her strongest single, doesn't take its own title's advice. The overwhelming mix drowns a hook-laden, keyboard-heavy hook in tribal percussion and broadly-defined synth touches — the song, though solid, can't completely shine through the mess. There's a great deal of pop potential here if she takes the time to focus on stripping these pop tracks down to their strongest elements. Each track is worth a listen to hear what pop hit-makers sound like before they get their big break and the studio opportunities and advice which frequently come with such. Mandy Barry's not all the way there yet, but I like her chances.

thing that kills me is i still have nothing
but wise to the fact that i'm my own demise
I don't know if there is any way I could tell my whole life in that much time, with so few words, and have it even half as deep and thought provoking as you have made this video. You obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making this video and it shows. You've laid out almost your whole life in a few minutes with perfect lines to describe it all. Many props to this, I know I couldn't do it and you did it perfectly.
That was a very moving video. I LOVED it. It held so much meaning in so few words. It was like....telling your whole life, every minute of it, in just a few family photos. Truly inspirational.
And as for Med_R_Us, if it wasnt allowed on NG it wouldnt be in one of the fucking sections retard.
slideshow = illegal to NG
didnt any1 ever notice this is an overdone slide show..? thats not alloud on newgrounds.. or atleast so i thought, umm, yea, ur life is bad? or is it good? wtf i dont understand .. i was thinking thru the whole thing that song would quit n sumthing would scare the shit outta me... but wutever no body cares like that other guy sed...
Who would EVER want to know that?
Seriosly! Who would want to know your life history? No offense, but every one in this world are important to a few persons, such as your family. But to post a history about yourself on such a big website as NG is just too weird. You are one of 6,000,000,000 people in this world. I bet noone on this site cares about you. Humans are that way, they dont care of anyone but their nearest friends and family. Thats the way it is. No offense.
I approved this whalloping!
Thankyou,TacoMan.As Well all should know ann koulter(I have not enough respect to capitalize her namesake),should be torched for her pious book.What a self-important cunt.I often find the only way to truly catch the voice of like minded souls is to resort to alternative press.God bless Ebolaworld.

A 92-year-old man will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after robbing a bank in Abilene. Friday a federal judge sentenced J.L. Hunter to more than 12 years in prison.
Rountree pleaded guilty last year to robbing First American Bank in Abilene last August. It was his third such robbery in less than five years. Rountree will serve his time at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth.

The newly renovated Line Avenue Brookshire's has undergone significant upgrades that now establish the store as Shreveport's premier supermarket, with the addition of a full-service taco bar, fresh fruit and juice bar, salad and soup bar, cheese station and gourmet olive bar. The store also boasts an expanded sushi bar, a chef-prepared section where customers can select from a variety of entrees, appetizers and side dishes prepared daily the store's chefs, in addition to a service meat case that is second to none. Another special highlight is the upgraded bakery department that's now serving freshly made flour, whole-wheat and chipotle tortillas, in addition to a cake decorating station where customers can view in-progress cakes and other bakery creations. The store has also added a new bulk section that offers items like granola, flour, nuts, rolled oats and quinoa, among others.
The most distinctive addition to the store is its expanded wine department, offering the best selection in Shreveport. With LED lights and simulated wood flooring, this wine destination boasts more than 1,300 varieties from around the world.
Another exciting element of the store is a new health and wellness section that features items often found exclusively in specialty stores. In fact, Line Avenue is the first Brookshire's store to offer such an extensive wellness department, with not only an expanded line of health and wellness items, but a customized section for his and her products.
Other improvements include a new storefront, new check stands, all new flooring, new modernized décor, a new dining area, and a relocated and updated floral section.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Today at the Tate Britain, priceless oil paintings that are more accustomed to looking down on tourists witnessed the frenetic activity that goes into pulling together Jonathan Saunders' Fall 2014 show.
Plasticized waves, designed to mimic those belonging to a mannequin, were born at the hands of hairstylist Luke Hersheson. He worked L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni Art Gloss Control (a shine spray) and Liss Control (a gel) through strands with a fine-tooth comb, lending a shiny, artificial finish that looked painted on. In contrast, the length was simply flat ironed and tied neatly into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.
Keeping with the mannequin theme, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni emphasized the high points of the face using MAC Pigment in Vanilla, making the skin appear almost waxy. A blend of Pigment in Orange and Paint Stick in White was buffed around the eyes, over the lid, and underneath the lower lashes. To bring a hint of life to the face, "a blood-red color" was pushed into the center of the lips.

KaliRaps - Summertime
Artist: KaliRaps
Featuring: Termanology , Moufy
Producer: Ruwanga Samath [for Bird Call Productions]
Album: Hats Off
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 6 total votes )
From Will Smith to Sublime, over the years a number of artists have felt inspired to put their love of the Summertime to music. You can now add Kali Raps to that long list. Fresh off the release of Goodbye, Kali recruits producer Ruwanga Samath to provide Summertime's video with a cooled out instrumental laced with synth touches set off by a crucaially catchy hook from C-Scharp that has all the melodic makings of a summer anthem. A trio of emcees fill in the gaps with appropriately party-friendly rhymes, starting with the headliner, followed by Show Off kingpin Termanology and anchored by (relative) newcomer Moufy. So head to the pool, grab a few bottles, grab ever more girls and enjoy the new soundtrack to Summertime. Fans can find this track on Kali's upcoming Hats Off mixtape, which is still awaiting a release date.

2. Uninstall Sophos Anti-Virus. (Do I really need to do this?)
3. Sysprep it.

5. Copy disk image onto the others.
6. Install and configure Sophos Anti-Virus in each one.

Diane and Steve Henry were in their Hoisington home Saturday night when something rocked their world.
Great Bend High School has announced its 2011 inductees to the GBHS Hall of Fame. Recognized will be two individuals, one who has touched the lives of students and one who has served presidents.
This marks the seventh year for the Great Bend Beautification Committee's Holiday Tables Spectacular fund-raiser, an event offering seasonal party planners ideas on how to decorate, while at the same time, earning money to improve the community.
The cause of an early Thursday morning fire that destroyed the building owned by Estes Trash Service and Cliff's Commercial Trash Service at 323 NE 20 Ave., remains unknown, said Great Bend Fire Chief Mike Napolitano Thursday afternoon.
Chicago has its cows.
ELLINWOOD – The Kansas Sidewinders Motorcycle Club will hold it's annual casino night to benefit United Way of Central Kansas from 7-10 p.m. Saturday at the group's clubhouse, 21 N. Main in Ellinwood.
OK. Halloween is over.
It only takes a quick scan of the Barton County Sheriff's Office accident logs to see an emerging pattern – the number of car versus deer wrecks is on the rise.
The date for the jury trial for Adam Longoria, the Great Bend man charged in the August 2010 murder of 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt, has been set, it was announced Wednesday.
United States Sen. Jerry Moran made a much-needed pit stop in Great Bend Thursday morning.
It was about 3:15 Monday afternoon, dismissal time for Great Bend Middle School. Harrison Street in front of Becky Dudrey's house was choked with students and their parents.
In the past week, the average retail gasoline prices in Kansas have risen 0.3 cents per gallon to an average of $3.26 per gallon as of Sunday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.1 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.42, according to gasoline price website KansasGasPrices.com.
The Kansas State Board of Education Tuesday afternoon voted to apply for a waiver, exempting the state from portions of the controversial 2001 No Child Left Behind law which requires students to meet federally mandated proficiency targets in reading and math.
After much discussion, the Unified School District 428 School Board reluctantly approved Monday night giving the entire Great Bend High School student body a half day off, that is if the upcoming National Honor Society's food drive reaches its goal of collecting 8,000 items.
There is a much to be proud of for the organizers of the 2011 Relay for Life of Barton County.
In addition to the Grant Street apartment complex, another housing development was a topic at Monday night's Great Bend City Council meeting. Adopted was a resolution authorizing the submission of an application for a $300,000 2014 Moderate Income Housing Grant related to the construction of six market-rate four-plexes at 28th and Washington.
It was a time for the City of Great Bend to come together for one of those old-fashioned community wide celebrations. However, the second-annual Party in the Park Saturday was a little different than most.
This historic bridge may not be falling down, but it has seen better days.

My husband and I have been in the rental property and construction business in Boulder Colorado for 40 years. I have been staging homes for sale for several years. When we purchased a home in San Miguel and built a restaurant, we decided to expand our business into San Miguel. We are very proud of our vacation properties and enjoy renting them.
My brother and I bought the building to build a restaurant. We decided to re-model the 3 apartments above the restaurant. Two of the apartments are rented year around and the 3rd is used as a vacation rental. The location is central to the City and is a wonderful and easy area to access.
This rental unit is wonderfully located for access to most areas of the City of San Miguel. It is above our restaurant, Cafe Monet, which has become a destination for many of the City locals. We have wonderful food, a beautiful atmosphere and are well known for our great breakfasts. We offer complimentary breakfast and coffee to our guests 6 days a week. The unit is beautifully furnished and has every amenity that can be offered for a trouble-free vacation.

INDIANAPOLIS An Indianapolis police officer has fatally shot a robbery suspect who fired a gun at the officer.
Police say the shooting occurred in the parking lot outside an adult book store moments after the business was robbed Wednesday morning.
The Indianapolis Star reports a store employee activated a holdup alarm to alert police, and the officer encountered the suspect outside, deployed a stun gun, and got the suspect to the ground before the man pulled his gun and fired.
Police haven't released the names of the suspect or the officer. The officer wasn't hurt.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Rick Hite says the shooting is an example of an officer being "in the right place at the right time" to protect others.

Best Uses
We used it for the entry to our Casino, indoors...It looked really great but
I would not use it for outside. We also weighted it down to keep it in place
so it would not fall over as it is not sturdy material.
It was a bit time consuming to put together, but it photographed really well. The students thought it looked great.
Best Uses
This thing is great for decorative purposes and really pops out as the best thing to decorate a Vegas dance. The only con is that [$] is very expensive for the quality, because its made out of very flimsy material that almost fell apart after a couple hours of being set up.
Best Uses
The arch was very attractive - but we were sent the wrong directions for the arch we received.

Nashua toddler succumbs to injuries
The child had been fighting for his life in a Boston hospital. His mother, Unique S. Gould, 21, of 8 Ash Court, told authorities she had trouble waking him on April 26. According to documents filed in court, Gould later told detectives she had struck the child on his buttocks and head the night before and had "blacked out" at one point.
Gould has been charged with first-degree assault.
Court records show that doctors at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center found her son had "significant head trauma and inter-cranial bleeding" when he was taken there by ambulance. He was later transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital with a severe brain injury.
Strelzin said Saturday night no upgraded charges have been filed against Gould, but the case is still under investigation.
The little boy, identified on Gould's Facebook page as Devon, turned 2 on March 16, according to court documents.

Bear Resistant Food Containers (BRFCs)
What are BRFCs?
These hard plastic portable containers are a vital part of Denali's bear/human conflict management program. You must store all food, garbage, and other scented items in a BRFC when camping overnight in Units 1-21 and 23-43. BRFC's are recommended for overnight camping in all other units. Their consistent use has resulted in a bear population that does not associate humans or their property with food sources. A small BRFC weighs 3 lbs. and holds 3-5 days of food for one person, and the larger BRFC weighs 5 lbs. and carries 7-10 days of food. BRFCs are issued free of charge with backcountry permits and must be returned within 48 hours of completion of your backcountry trip. If the BRFC is lost or damaged, you may be held responsible for its replacement.
The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) is the authority consulted for what products are and are not permissible in Denali.
The following brands of BRFCs are NOT PERMITTED for backcountry use in Denali:
Did You Know?
Visibility is an important component of measuring Denali's air quality. Visibility data, such as that from the Wonder Lake camera, supplements chemical data from filter samples. Air here is still clean, but traces of pollution from local, regional and international sources exists on filter samples.

In this java wrapper class tutorial, you will see definition of wrapper class with examples.
What is a wrapper class in java? Explain with examples.
In Java, a wrapper class is defined as a class in which a primitive value is wrapped up. These primitive wrapper classes are used to represent primitive data type values as objects. The Java platform provides wrapper classes for each of the primitive data types. For example, Integer wrapper class holds primitive 'int' data type value. Similarly, Float wrapper class contain 'float' primitive values, Character wrapper class holds a 'char' type value, and Boolean wrapper class represents 'boolean' value.
All of the numeric wrapper classes are subclasses of the abstract class java.lang.Number as shown in the above Wrapper Class Hierarchy diagram. There are four other subclasses of Number that are not shown here. BigDecimal and BigInteger are used for high-precision calculations. AtomicInteger and AtomicLong are used for multi-threaded applications. The remaining two wrapper classes Character & Boolean are direct subclasses of java.lang.Object.
Examples of Java Wrapper Classes:
To describe the application of wrapper classes in java, let us create an Integer wrapper class object with primitive int type value and get back the primitive value from the wrapper object.
int i = 26; // Primitive data type 'int' // Integer Wrapper class instantiation Integer i_Obj = new Integer(i); // Unwrapping primitive data 'int' from wrapper object int i2 = i_Obj.intValue();
List of all Wrapper Classes in java
The following table shows list of different types of wrapper classes in java:
|Primitive data type
|Wrapper class
Why do we need wrapper classes in java?
Do we really need wrapper classes or wrapper data types in java? Can't we use primitive data types directly instead of wrapper classes? Actually we can use primitive types in many places but not all. In some cases we can't use primitive values as is, so wrapper classes are needed/required. For example, if we need to store numbers in a collection, we can't use primitives because collections such as List, Set, and Map need objects as their elements. In such cases you must use wrapper classes.
What is the difference between primitive data types and wrapper classes in java?
The main difference between primitive data types and wrapper classes (wrapper types) in java is that the primitive types can be used as raw data for operations such as arithmetic, logical, etc. and wrapper classes acts as data holders for these primitive data types.
Important note: The primitive data type values will be stored in Stack Memory whereas wrapper class objects (like any other java objects) are stored in Heap Memory.
Use of wrapper class in java
Although, the primary purpose/use of wrapper classes in java is to wrap primitive values, there are few other uses/advantages of wrapper classes. One feature is to use constants defined by the wrapper class, such as MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE, that provide the upper and lower bounds of the data type, and the other application is to use wrapper class methods for converting values to and from other primitive data types, for converting to and from strings, and for converting between number systems (decimal, octal, hexadecimal, binary).
Are wrapper classes mutable in java?
A big "No". Like Strings, wrapper classes in java such as Integer, Float, Long, and Double are also "immutable". Once created, the numbers wrapped within the objects of wrapper classes in java.lang package can't be changed. Read Why Strings & Wrapper classes are immutable and final in java for more details.
In this tutorial, i defined wrapper classes, explained use of wrapper classes, different types of wrapper classes (wrapper classes list), need for wrapper classes, difference between primitive data types and wrapper classes, and wrapper classes immutability. For further learning of java wrapper classes, read the java wrapper class tutorial Java Primitive Wrapper Class Tutorial: API Methods and Constructors.

We sat for a very long time waiting for a waiter/waitress. Finally had to ask for someone to bring some water and help us. We were virtually ignored. Ironically there were extra staff just standing around. Finally got some service for our table of 2. Sadly there were only 6 customers in the entire place. In fairness, the wine and cheese was good. Plenty of room for improvement.

Visitors can choose between UV-free organic spray solutions or beds of varying intensity to achieve their desired skin tone. In a similar manner to tanning beds, red-light therapy beds seek to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, refine pore size, and improve skin tone.
All About You is a full service Hair and nail Salon and Day Spa offering Massage, Facials, Waxing and a variety of restorative services.
The beauty experts at Brow Art specialize in flattering facial features with threading services and eyelash extensions. Using a thin cotton filament, they groom and shape eyebrows into artful arches or tidy drawbridges. This thread can also whisk stray hairs away from upper lips, cheeks, and chins. Synthetic, silk, and mink lash extensions adhere directly to natural lashes for a dramatic look that doesn't need extra mascara or makeup.
