You were about to break down right them and there. The sassy gay assistant had made a comment about your unusual ass shape, needles were poking into your skin, and if this douchebag didn't stop being rude to you, you were going to scream. You thought being the prototype model for world renounced fashion designer Levi Ackerman would be an amazing, extravagant experience. Boy were you far off the mark. You began to shake your body in anger and fear, only to be stopped by another needle piercing your flesh.
"Ouch!! Could you please stop-"
"Shut the fuck up princess, I can't sew it into place if I don't use needles."
The well dressed ebony haired man continued to ignore your complains, layering fabric on top of the original prototype dress he had you slip on. Staying still like this really was a chore, at least when you did runway or photo shoots you got to move around. You were truly on your last nerve, and what assistant Jean Kirst

BioBlitz Series - Hymenoptera
Photo: Beatriz Moisset
Near-perfect weather helped the Hymenoptera blitz at SERC (the Schoodic Education and Research Center) at Acadia National Park to be a success by almost any standard. About 70 people turned out to collect, pin, label and identify Hymenoptera, led by Ellie Groden and Frank Drummond of the University of Maine, and Sam Droege of the U. S. Geological Survey.
In early counts, with catches from numerous pan traps and Berlese funnel samples still remaining to be examined, there were already some 20 ant species in 10 genera known, with the number expected to rise to around 30 in the final count. (For comparison, the 2003 Ant Blitz on Mount Desert Island recorded a total of 44 species.)
Although only two were overwhelmingly dominant in the counts, there were at least eight species of bumblebees recorded in a bee fauna of over 30 species, that was expected to rise to at least 40 as more of the unknowns were identified; one highlight in this regard was the discovery of what could be a previously undescribed species of bee.
Perhaps surprisingly, despite the proximity of numerous homes to the park collecting sites, not a single European honeybee (Apis mellifera) was encountered in the blitz. The bee diversity was also quite surprising, inasmuch as the Schoodic Peninsula is predominantly spruce forest (not generally good bee habitat), and there are only some 70 species of bees known from the entire state of Maine.
Wasps were numerous and diverse, with Ichneumonidae, Braconidae, Vespidae and the Chalcidoidea being major groups represented. A tremendous amount of work remains to be done on this highly diverse assemblage, and experts are being ferreted out to help with specific groups. Over 100 Hymenopteran species were collected in this year's efforts. View a report of detailed results...

Though the dates and group to be targeted for 2011 have not yet been set, there was some discussion of re-visiting the Lepidoptera, previously covered in the second blitz in 2004. That blitz, however, was scheduled in mid-June, too early for some species to have emerged, and was also hampered by cool and wet conditions.
There was also discussion of assembling a publication of some sort, documenting what has been learned of the insect fauna of the Park as it has been expanded by the Blitzes over the years. Discussions on this topic and the 2011 Blitz plans will undoubtedly go forward over the late fall and winter months. Updated information will be reported in The Maine Entomologist as it becomes available.

Everyone agreed that the National Park Service/SERC Institute crew did an outstanding job of facilitating the event once again, despite major construction projects currently underway at the facilities.

... it wasn't very interesting so we switched to music on Pandora. Surprisingly we didn't hit any traffic except for an accident on Rt 77 in North Carolina when the traffic was bumper to bumper for about 1/2 hour from Mooresville to Davidson. We arrived back home in Sun City about 11:30.
Overall we drove 1601.9 miles.
Little Italy
... take a number. While we were waiting we browsed the bakery cases trying to decide on which of the gorgeous looking pastries we should choose. We finally decided on a Cannoli and a Latte for Tom and a Cream Puff and Cappachino for me. Yummy and well worth the wait!

My only disappointment was the display of the Inductees Signatures. It was in a narrow hallway after leaving the Inductees Film that wound around up to the next floor. Somehow it just wasn't as impressive as the Inductees Rotunda in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The First Sentence of Every Short Story in 'American Short Stories, 4th Ed.'
In 1982, in one of the first college English courses I took, we were given, or, OK, made to buy, a book called "American Short Stories, 4th ed.," edited by Eugene Current-Garcia and Walton R. Patrick. It was eye-opening. It made an impression. I kept reading the stories even after the class was over. It made me think, "This is what I want to do."
I didn't know that this—the centrality of literature to the culture—was already over.
I still have the book and I picked it up again recently. For some reason, maybe the editor in me, I began to check out the first sentences of each story. I noticed patterns, the way they changed with the times: now boats, now trains, now cars. Here's a description of nature setting the stage and the mood. Now we're in the South, now we're in New York, now we're a consumerist society buying Camel cigarettes. Characters used to be from Italy, then it was simply a place to visit. We're stiff New Englanders, we're wide-eyed Midwesterners, we're defeated Southerners. We're black, we're Jewish, we're the last of the great WASPs. Metafiction rears its ugly head before we return, perhaps self-consciously, to colloquialism.
I was going to divide these stories by their various categories but decided to just lay them out as I read them—chronologically. Enjoy. In some ways it's the history of America:
- "Whoever had made a voyage up the Hudson must remember the Kaatskill Mountains." -- Washington Irving, "Rip Van Winkle" (1819)
- "Young Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salem village; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Young Goodman Brown" (1835)
- "A young man, named Giovanni Guasconti, came, very long ago, from the more southern region of Italy, to pursue his studies at the University of Padua." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Rappaccini's Daughter" (1844)
- "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge." -- Edgar Allen Poe, "The Cask of Amontillado" (1846)
- "True! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?" -- Edgar Allen Poe, "The Tell-Tale Heart" (1843)
- "A steamboat on the Mississippi, frequently, in making her regular trips, carries beween places varying from one to two thousand miles apart; and, as these boats advertise to land passengers and freight at 'all intermediate landings,' the heterogeneous character of the passengers of one of these up-country boats can scarely be imagined by one who has never seen it with his own eyes." -- Thomas Bangs Thorpe, "The Big Bear of Arkansas" (1841)
- "I am a rather elderly man." -- Herman Melville, "Bartleby" (1853)
- "In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me frm the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and i hereunto append the result." -- Mark Twain, "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" (1865)
- "As Mr. John Oakhurst, gambler, stepped into the main street of Poker Flat on the morning of the twenty-third of November, 1850, he was conscious of a change in the moral atmosphere since the preceding night." -- Bret Harte, "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" (1869)
- "The air was thick with the war feeling, like the electricity of a storm which has not yet burst." -- William Dean Howells, "Editha" (1905)
- "The fighting has been hard and continuous; that was attested by all the senses." -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Coup de Grace" (1889)
- "'Our feeling is, you know, that Becky should go.'" -- Henry James, "Europe" (1899)
- "When the porter's wife, who used to answer the house-bell, announced, 'A gentleman and a lady, sir,' I had, as I often had in those days—the wish being father to the thought—an immediate vision of sitters." -- Henry James, "The Real Thing" (1892)
- "The leaves were so still that even Bibi thought it was going to rain." -- Kate Chopin, "The Storm" (1898)
- "It was late in the afternoon, and the light was waning." --Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, "A New England Nun" (1891)
- "When it is said that it was done to please a woman, there ought perhaps to be enough said to explain anything; for what a man will not do to please a woman is yet to be discovered." -- Charles Chesnutt, "The Passing of Grandison" (1899)
- "The nearer the train drew toward La Crosse, the soberer the little group of 'vets' became." -- Hamlin Garland, "The Return of a Private" (1892)
- "The great Pullman was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward." -- Stephen Crane, "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" (1898)
- "None of them knew the color of the sky." -- Stephen Crane, "The Open Boat" (1897)

- "It was Paul's afternoon to appear before the faculty of the Pittsburgh High School to account for his various misdemeanours." -- Willa Cather, "Paul's Case" (1906)

- "'And where's Mr. Campbell?' Charlies asked." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Babylon Revisited (1930)
- "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant—a combined gardener and cook—had seen in at least ten years." -- William Faulkner, "A Rose for Emily" (1930)
- "Isaac McCaslin, 'Uncle Ike," past seventy and nearer eighty than he ever corroborated any more, a widower now and uncle to half a county and father to no one" -- William Faulkner, "was"

Book Review: '11/22/63' by Stephen King
Stephen King's "11/22/63" is really four Stephen King stories in one. It's:
- a horror story about a crazy ex-husband who murders his family in a horrible small town in Maine.
- a love story about a 1960s teacher and librarian who deal with small-town mores and another crazy ex-husband.
- a story of a lucky gambler who invokes the wrath of the mob.
- It's also the main story: A teacher from 2011 goes back in time to Sept. 1958 to stop 1), above, unexpectedly gets involved in 2) and 3), and, most importantly, tries to prevent Lee Harvey Oswald from killing John F. Kennedy five years later. He's going to try to right a great American wrong.
That's why this thing is 800-plus pages. It's heading toward a day we know too well but takes its time getting there. It gives us other stories, other books, first.
King is a great storyteller, and he can do the creepy vibe better than almost anybody, but even he can't make Lee Harvey Oswald interesting. That's where I got bogged down: When our hero, Jake, who takes the name George Amberson in the past, spies on Lee and Marina in their ramshackle Texas apartment. That's when I began to lose interest. I began to flip pages.
Similarly after 3), when gangsters beat up George and leave him for dead. By then it's September 1963, just two and a half months to go, but he barely survives the attack. He loses much of his memory. Will he get it back? Will he remember what he's supposed to do? Of course he will. But not for a while yet. So more page flipping.
Sorry, Stephen. I know the past is obdurate—it doesn't want to change (I love that bit, by the way)—so I know everything will get in the way of Jake/George trying to change it. But that's why we're here. We want to see what happens. We want to see if he stops the JFK assassination, and, if so, what happens afterwards.
Here's a relevant quote from Gore Vidal's review of William Manchester's "Death of a President" way back in 1967:
The narrative is compelling even though one knows in advance everything that is going to happen. Breakfast in Fort Worth. Flight to Dallas. Governor Connally. The roses. The sun. The friendly crowds. The Governor's wife: "Well, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you, Mr. President." And then one hopes that for once the story will be different—the car swerves, the bullets miss, and the splendid progress continues. But each time, like a recurrent nightmare, the handsome head is shattered.
Here, for once, the story is different and the handsome head isn't shattered. Here, in fact, King gets to vent against the little pissant who altered our history:
The presidential limo had taken off, driving toward the Triple Underpass at breakneck speed, the two couples inside ducking and holding onto each other. But the security car had pulled up on the far side of Elm Street near Dealey Plaza. The cops on the motorcycles had stopped in the middle of the street, and at least four dozen people were acting as spotters, pointing up at the sixth-floor window, where a skinny man in a blue shirt was clearly visible.
I heard a patter of thumps, a sound like hailstones striking mud. Those were the bullets that missed the window and hit the bricks above or on either side. Many didn't miss. I saw Lee's shirt billow out as if a wind had started to blow inside it—a red one that tore holes in the fabric: one above the right nipple, one at the sternum, a third where his navel would be. A fourth tore his neck open. He danced like a doll in the hazy, sawdusty light, and that terrible snarl never left his face. He wasn't a man in the end, I tell you; he was something else. Whatever gets into us when we listen to our worst angels.
A bullet spanged one of the overhead lights, shattered the bulb, and set it to swaying. Then a bullet tore off the top of the would-be assassin's head, just as one of Lee's had torn off the top of Kennedy's head in the world I'd come from ...
King has written about political assassinations before, hasn't he? "Dead Zone" from the mid-1970s anyway. There, his main character doesn't come from the future but he can see the future. There, he's the assassin of a man who will end the world if he becomes president. Here, he's the killer of an assassin ... and winds up, well, ending the world.
That's the other disappointing part of the novel. You want to see what happens with Kennedy unharmed. You want to see how our history, meaning my entire lifetime, is changed. But King stacks the decks against that future by having the cosmos essentially object to its changed course. Nov. 22 1963: JFK is almost assassinated but saved by two schoolteachers; Yay! Nov. 24, 1963? Massive earthquake in California. Seven thousand people die. Whoops.
And it gets worse. When George returns to 2011 it's a sci-fi dystopia: roaming noseless hoodlums and China Syndrome radiation and regular earthquakes everywhere. Scientists predict the world, the universe, will break apart by 2080 and that will be the end of everything.
Stupid Kennedy.
I went to the site once. In late spring 2004, the year George W. Bush beat John Kerry for the presidency, I visited Dealey Plaza. It was quiet that day. Not many people walking about. No one was ever walking about much when I was in downtown Dallas. It felt like a ghost town. But I believe the schoolbook depository is still there. What is it about Texas and schoolbooks anyway? Back then they altered our history. Today they keep trying to do that.
King obviously has it in for Dallas. Without apology. From the afterword:
On the day Kennedy landed at Love Field, Dallas was a hateful place. Confederate flags flew rightside up; American flags flew upside down. Some airport spectators held up signs reading HELP JFK STAMP OUT DEMOCRACY. Not long before that day in November, both Adlai Stevenson and Lady Bird Johnson were subjected to spit-showers by Dallas voters. Those spitting on Mrs. Johnson were middle-class housewives. ...
This is an afterword, not an editorial, but I hold strong opinions on this subject, particularly given the current political climate of my country. If you want to know what political extremism can lead to, look at the Zapruder film.
"11/22/63" isn't a bad book but it doesn't mean much. It's the wound we keep probing to no final resolution, no final effect. Plus I never really liked George, or Jake, King's main character. I kept thinking: Can someone travel into the past and not be condescending or superior? Knowing everything that's going to happen? That's how George comes off. The past may be obdurate but it's also easy. The future is malleable and that's why it's hard.
King probing wounds to no final effect.

Five Books I Bought at Powell's This Weekend
We didn't have much time at Powell's this weekend so I dashed to the BASEBALL section, then FILM/TV, and grabbed the following:
- The House that Ruth Built by Robert Weintraub, and the '23 season
- A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez by Selena Roberts, about You Know Who.
- Good Enough to Dream by Roger Kahn, who buys a minor league team in the early 1980s.
- Life: The Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality by Neal Gabler, which is recommended by its subtitle.
- Bernard Shaw on Cinema edited and with an introduction by Bernard F. Dukore, which sounds fascinating.
I also asked at the information desk about George W.S. Trow but they only had "Within the Context of No Context." Then I searched under "Capote" and "Roth" and then checked out with a cashier who had a lot of tats, some beautiful. I asked her if she'd seen "Elysium." I told her that in the year 2154, according to that movie, tats would still be popular and cool. I meant it as a kind of joke but she took it as a given. She was young.
Will used bookstores survive the digital age? I had this discussion with Patricia, and our friends Richard and Mirra, on the way out of Portland. At the least, I thought, you'd be able to get out-of-print books at a used bookstore. But then I thought, "Will any books be out of print in the digital age?"
But you'll be able to browse, I thought, and find things you didn't know existed. Like the Bernard Shaw book above, which I didn't know existed until I saw it.
Or could that be an old construct already? Today, kids might think, "No, you just go to the site and it tells you what you want. That's how it works."
How was your weekend?
Eclectic but not really.

Recommended: Joe Muto's 'Atheist in a FOXhole'
Over the last week I've included a good half-dozen quotes from Joe Muto and his book, "An Atheist in the FOXhole: A Liberal's Eight-Year Odyssey Inside the Heart of the Right-Wing Media," which I recommend to anyone interested not only in the inner workings of FOX News but the inner workings of a cable news network.
Much of the book focuses on how things work regardless of ideology. There's also an example, just in time, on how to get a job. It's not bad advice. Basically: 1) Don't care too much about getting it; 2) Be witty. The second part is the hard part, but the first ... well, it's astonishing how often that happens. (See this Christopher Reeve quote.) The thing we fear the most meets us halfway while the thing we want the most ain't budging.
As for FOX-News? Much of what we see is what we get. Bill O'Reilly is a bully, Sarah Palin is unprepared, Glenn Beck is truly, truly paranoid. But there are surprises. Apparently, off camera, Ann Coulter is a nice person. Go figure.
Muto also does a good job of parsing the famous conservative faces. These homophobes are hardly homogenous. O'Reilly may be conservative but he's not an ideologue in the way of Sean Hannity or Roger Ailes. Ratings trump politics for O'Reilly. Money trumps politics for Rupert Murdoch. For Ailes and Hannity, politics trump all.
It's worth a read. It's also a breeze. Muto is funny and a good writer.

You're Welcome
"Anyway, I decided, if there was anything the human race had a sufficiency of, a sufficiency and a surfeit, it was books. When I thought of the cataracts of books, the Niagras of books, the rushing rivers of books, the oceans of books, the tons and truckloads and trainloads of books that were pouring off the presses of the world at the moment, only a very few of which would be worth picking up and looking at, let alone reading, I began to feel that it was admirable that he hadn't written it. One less book to clutter up the world, one less book to take up space and catch dust and go unread from bookstore to homes to second-hand bookstores and junk stores and thrift shops to still other homes to still other second-hand bookstores and junk stores and thrift shops to still other homes ad infinitum."

Roby's books are usually much more colorful; however, this time the seemingly plain cover sets the tone for the masterpiece contained within. Instead of looking at other people, specifically their parents, Derrek and Denise should be looking in a mirror that speaks the truth. There are cracks in their lives and even six-figure incomes can't buy these drug addicts a perfect marriage. Counselors should prescribe this novella to clients who need to remove the veil from their eyes so they can truly see the consequences of their choices.
Derrek was reared by his grandparents because of his parents' addiction. Denise's parents' façade of a perfect marriage is cloaked in secrets, which tumble out just as Derrek and Denise are forced to admit they are addicts. Drained bank accounts, jobs in jeopardy and estranged friends are no match for their need for just one more fix. It takes the courage of their daughter to force them to pray, but it may be too late.

2010 750 bottle given to us by Cory at Snake River a couple of weeks back ... Inflatablechair and I shared this one tonight .... It was the only thing in the fridge that looked longingly at me when I opened the door.
Pours very clear amber.... long lasting lite tannish head.... great retention and lacing.
** see below for my "negatives"
The nose shows a pretty nice standard BSDA.... a bit of lite yeasty phenols and some hard to tack down estery fruitiness... but the main player in the aroma is a lite yet ever present licorice or anise note.
Sammy mentioned "cola" before I took my first sip.. so maybe that was tattooed in my memory... but I swear there is a "supermarket brand" cola characteristic... the anise and possibly some cardamom play well with a good Belgian profile.. the phenols speak of clove... but the fruity esters make me think apricot (?!) weird ... a bit of toasty malt helps tie this flavor together nicely.... minor bready notes with warmth help bring this back into a good BSDA territory.
Body seems a tad light for the style... carbonation is everpresent but small bubble and sorta creamy... pretty nice.
Thanks again to Cory and the crew at SNBC for the hospitality.. the folks in Jackson were just off the charts awesome.
**I normally really don't like "spiced" beers... especially spiced Belgians... and I REALLY don't appreciate anything "licorice", but honestly the spice notes in this brew were done with a judicious hand and work well with the overall beer. I personally would like more yeasty notes and lesser spice.. but really, the spicey elements do well and make for a nicely drinkable brew.
The Boise peeps have a couple more bottles of this one... I would like to try it again, but then maybe some other folks deserve it more than I do.

MARKET REPORT: BHP Billiton eyes bid for Walter Energy
Speculation has intensified that chief executive Marius Kloppers's swan song at mining giant BHP Billiton, 46.5p up at 1998p, could be a $55 a share cash offer for Alabama-based 'pure play' metallurgical coal producer Walter Energy, whose shares were trading 4pc higher at $30.94 in New York early yesterday.
BHP Billiton is already said to be planning for a successor to the 50 year-old South African and rumours have been doing the rounds recently that Mick 'the miner' Davis could take his place. He will be standing down as boss of Xstrata (3.5p off at 1022p) once its mega merger with Glencore International (0.8p easier at 340.5p) goes through.
Kloppers faced a mountain of criticism for failing to clinch three major bids he launched – a full takeover of Rio Tinto, a merger with Rio Tinto's iron business and a bid for Canada's Potash Corporation.
He then ruffled more feathers in the City by splashing out $17bn on two shale gas takeovers in the US just before gas prices tanked. Under pressure Kloppers gave up his bonus this year after the group took a $2.8billion charge on the shale deals.
It certainly looks a good time for anyone to bid for Walter Energy. Its stock has collapsed 58 per cent this year from the $100-plus level as the price of hard coking coal dived. US analysts now believe the stock is seriously undervalued.
The enlarged Glenstrata group could
be interested in Walter Energy. It should swell its coffers considerably
by the early sale of its 25 per cent stake in platinum miner Lonmin, down 5.6p
at 253.5p, and mining giants are currently apparently champing at the
bit for coal assets.
If dealers were looking to Chancellor
George Osborne to inspire the London stockmarket with a stimulating
Autumn Statement, they were wasting their time. What a bore. Trading 13
points higher when he stood up in the House of Commons, the Footsie was 8
points up when he sat down and closed 23.04 points better at 5,892.16.
The City only has one thing on its
mind at the moment and that is how and when President Barack Obama and
his team of money men in Washington can avert the looming fiscal cliff
of tax increases and benefits cuts.
Wall Street closed 82.71 points higher at 13,034.49 on news that the US services sector expanded more than expected in November.
As the copper price advanced after
Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping said China will make policies
more targeted and effective in 2013 to help economic recovery,
Kazakhmys rose 26.5p to 740.5p, Vedanta Resources 28p to 1094p, and
Eurasian Natural Resources 6.6p to 277.2p.
Drugs giant AstraZeneca, 22.5p up at
3000p, shrugged off reports that it is to cut 400 jobs in Germany in
order to stay competitive in what continues to be difficult market
conditions. The market also heard that vice president group finance,
Julie Brown, is leaving AZ to take up a position as Smith &
Nephew's chief financial officer. She has been with AZ for 25 years.
A Bank of America/Merrill Lynch
upgrade to buy from neutral and an increase in the target price to 130p
from 110p attracted buyers to Home Retail, 7.7p better at 121p. The
broker has pencilled in stronger like-for-like sales at catalogue group
The same broker downgraded car accessories group Halfords to neutral from buy and the shares reversed 15.1p to 323.2p.
Hopes for bumper Christmas trading and vague bid talk lifted online retailer Ocado 3.45p to 74.45p.
Revived private equity takeover
speculation accompanied a gain of 2.6p to 93.5p in pest control group
Rentokil Initial. Accident-prone Egyptian gold miner Centamin shed
5.35p to 51.75p after Goldman Sachs removed it from a buy list.
Smiths News jumped 6.5p to 159.5p
after announcing it has secured a new, five-year contract with
Marketforce and IPC Media Ltd which will secure its 55pc market share of
both publishers' portfolios.
Alkane Energy improved 0.75p to
25.75p and IGas Energy 2.38p to 73.75p after the Chancellor announced
major tax breaks to shale operators.
European non-life insurer Gable
Holdings rose 2.62p to 40.12p after agreeing a five year partnership
with Towergate Underwriting. Under the agreement Gable will act as a
cover provider for Towergate from January 2013.
1Spatial firmed 0.38p to 4p after winning a contract with the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain to centralise planning and management of Ordnance Survey's production activities.
- Diversified support services and energy group Hargreaves Services slumped 47p more to 603p on heavy selling. Investors sprinted for the exit on hearing that a serious overstatement of stock values and credit notes have been identified within the group's Belgian subsidiary. Two people with management contracts have been suspended and KPMG have been appointed to carry out an urgent investigation.

Techno icon Richie Hawtin continues his summer-long ENTER.Ibiza residency at Space tomorrow, August 7th with another must-see lineup. For week six, the Minus man will be joined by special guests including Drumcode boss Adam Beyer going B2B with Swedish mixstress Ida Engberg, Dubfire, Recondite, and Bella Sarris, among others. Even if you can't make it to the White Isle, you can still catch it all live right here starting at 9:30 pm CET / 3:30 pm EDT.
Sonar, Parklife make Resident Advisor's best June festivals
With the dawning of May, festival season is well underway, as new events pop up around every corner alongside tried and true classics celebrating anniversaries of all sorts. To get summer festival-goers even more stoked, Resident Advisor has rounded up their picks for June's finest, and they include some of the usual suspects along with some lesser-known gems.
Festival announcements from Stereosonic, Awakenings, and Gottwood, plus, what to expect from LCD Soundsystem on Record Store Day
That's right—we still f**king love records. So we're particularly psyched for what James Murphy has got in store for RSD. Check it out, along with lots of festival news and more, in today's roundup.
A Miami tribute to Bingo Players' Paul Baumer, new videos from Big Gigantic and Fritz Helder, and why did Moby move to LA?
We know it's likely very cold where you're sitting right now, but plans for Miami, summer festivals, and the Ibiza beach season are already heating up. Today, we've got news of a very special MMW gig to honor Bingo Players' Paul Baumer, an opening lineup for Amnesia, and plenty more updates from the dance-music world.
Ricardo Villalobos, Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin confirmed for Cocoon's summer Ibiza lineup
Sven Vath's Cocoon parties have long been a fixture on the Ibiza summer schedule. Now, 14 years after the event's inauguration on the White Isle, Vath has announced this season's lineup for its Monday-night residency at Amnesia and it involves some huge names.
Nicole Moudaber plots a full-length debut for Adam Beyer's Drumcode
Led by the passion to unite people with her music, and jailed for exorcising those demons within narrow-minded society, Nicole Moudaber's global techno overhaul has been as socially charged as it has creatively balanced.
Without cashing in on her female prominence in the electronic music industry, Moudaber's ability to hold the ranks alongside Carl Cox and Adam Beyer alike has seen the dark and melodically refined exploits of her studio work reign mercilessly over a movement too often cast under the shadows of the great clubbing spectrum.
For 2012, however, her globetrotting ventures between Ibiza, the US, and Australia signaled hope yet for the future of techno and her likeminded peers. Beatport News sat down with Moudaber during Carl Cox's 500th radio broadcast during Amsterdam Dance Event to talk discovering techno, musical insurgency, and her forthcoming artist album for Beyer's Drumcode imprint.
Catch a special Saturday edition of Beatport Live with Drumcode's Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Joseph Capriati on November 3rd
This Saturday, November 3rd, we welcome three of the biggest and best names in techno for a special Drumcode label night of Beatport Live. Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Joseph Capriati will all be joining us in our Berlin office from 6 PM CET/10 AM MDT for an exciting pre-Berghain webstream. The Drumcode gang have established themselves as top players in the game by releasing solid EP after solid EP, and we couldn't be happier to be hosting them this Saturday.
Adam Beyer talks up Drumcode's 100th release, the label's history, and his distant forthcoming LP
Adam Beyer's Drumcode imprint has become a hugely important mainstay in today's techno scene. Having released records from legendary icons such as Slam, Gary Beck, and Ben Sims, to name but a few, the label has flourished over a period of 15 years, recently seeing its 100th release, The Colour Out of Space, featuring productions from the label chief and his long-term partner, Ida Engberg.
We caught up with Beyer to discuss the legacy he's created, why he selected these tracks for the 100th release, and what other peers he takes influence from.
Nicole Moudaber & Victor Calderone - The Journey Begins
Today's Track Of The Day comes from the studio partnership of Victor Calderone & Nicole Moudaber. New Yorker Calderone is a veteran of the dance scene (having worked with both Sting and Madonna!), and this project with Nicole Moudaber sees them slamming down some techno of epic proportions for Adam Beyer's Drumcode label.
Various Artists - A-Sides
In the realm of hard techno, few labels hold a candle to Adam Beyer's renowned Drumcode in terms of quality, consistency, and longevity. This new compilation—born from the simple idea that some great tunes don't have a equally compelling b-side to make worth releasing—offers incredible bang for the buck, with 11 cuts by Drumcode producers new and familiar, and a guarantee of no filler tunes on the B2 side.
