"An estimated 200,000 people journeyed the grounds of Zilker Park this weekend for the Austin City Limits Music Festival.Friday pictures HERE. Lucero HERE. The xx HERE. Mayer Hawthorne HERE, the rest of the Saturday HERE, Flaming Lips HERE, and the rest of the pictures from Sunday (and the conclusion of our 2010 Austin City Limits coverage), below...
The descent of the iconic guitar sign Monday signified the end of an incredibly successful ACL Music Festival, and with eight stages and 130 bands, clean up is expected to take the rest of the week.
"This year's ACL was one of the best. The weather was incredible," City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department spokesperson Victor Ovalle said.
The show's producer, C3 Presents, takes care of cleaning up Zilker Park, and the city sends crews into the surrounding neighborhoods to remove any trace of music fans who know how to have a good time.
After C3 Presents leaves the park later this week, fertilizing and watering the grass will city's number one priority." [News 8 Austin]

"Watching Deer Tick at One Eyed Jacks in
the French quarter..." - Wayne Coyne, one day after ACL
"Burbank, CA - What would Halloween be without THE FLAMING LIPS? Certainly nothing as magical and incendiary as their annual Ghouls Gone Wild event held in their hometown of Oklahoma City, that's what. As we fall into the crisp Autumnal night air of the season's darkest yet sweetest holiday, THE FLAMING LIPS ask the question: Want to Participate in This Year's MARCH OF 1000 FLAMING SKELETONS?The Flaming Lips played a nine-song set opposite Band of Horses at Austin City Limits on Sunday (10/10). Coming up, the band will play a week of shows in Florida before their pre-Halloween parade (see above), and then another week of shows in Asia after Halloween, and eventually, in July 2011, a very special performance in the UK. All dates with more ACL pictures, the setlist, and a video of Wayne screenprinting an ACL poster with his own blood, below...
This October 23rd, The LIPS will once again host their annual MARCH OF 1000 FLAMING SKELETONS Parade in downtown Oklahoma City's Bricktown district, just a stones throw away from FLAMING LIPS ALLEY.
Last year's third annual Ghouls Gone Wild event was a huge success that drew LIPS fans from around the globe. Naturally, this year's Supernatural procession will be even more elaborate as festive floats, (in)appropriately adorned cars, walking groups and plenty of surprises along with 1000 strong undead snaking through the streets of Oklahoma City.
Order your costume bundle for this year's parade now in the official Flaming Lips store: www.flaminglips.com/store

the Flaming Lips played Central Park Summerstage (pics, video setlist), playing Letterman Wednesday & T5 (tonight)
photos by Eliza Koch
""This night is f---ing perfect," Coyne announced at the top of the show following his now-customary climb over the audience in a giant inflatable hamster ball. He wasn't necessarily talking about the music but rather about the weather, as the oppressive summer humidity had dissipated long enough to create a warm, breezy summer night. It provided the ideal backdrop for the Lips' set, which was heavy on the amorphous material from Embryonic. On the album, the melodies float several layers below the surface and are constantly teased out by the adroit production abilities of Dave Fridmann. In a live setting, the band let the fuzz do the talking, and allowed most of the tunes to build into swirls of distorted noise and churning beat science." [MTV]The Flaming Lips, played right up to Rumsey Playfield's 10pm curfew last night (7/26). In that time they managed to perform 14 songs including "Do You Realize?" for the 1-song encore. The full setlist is below.
Tonight, Tuesday, you can catch the band at Terminal 5 with Fang Island . The show is sold out, but it will also be streaming, like Smashing Pumpkins last night, online. The Flaming Lips return to the David Letterman show on Wednesday.
More pictures, a bunch of videos, and the setlist from Summerstage, below...

Flaming Lips add 2010 dates (Central Park Summerstage), pictures of Wayne Coyne's house spread around the Internet
Wayne Coyne's living room (via)
In addition to playing NJ, Ithaca, Bonnaroo (where they'll do Dark Side of the Moon), the Flaming Lips are playing a Central Park Summerstage show on Monday, July 26th. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 19th at noon.
They're also playing Poughkeepsie's Mid Hudson Civic Center on April 17th. Tickets go on sale March 8th at noon.
If you haven't already seen, pictures of Wayne Coyne's futuristic house in Oklahoma house have surfaced on the website of the architectural firm that designed it. And no, not the pictures of Wayne taking a bath on his lawn that people uncovered via Google Maps. Fitzsimmons Architecture has more photos of the inside like the one above.
"Having seen Coyne's appropriately trippy poop cave, it's got me wondering if other musicians' homes reflect their sensibilities as closely. Is John Mayer's house ordinary and forgettable on the outside but chaotically and impenetrably decorated on the inside? Does Prince's Minneapolis home have a bunch of sex swings? Yes, yes, I'm sure it does." [Gizmodo]A video of the construction of the house in 2009 is below with all tour dates...

Charlotte Gainsbourg played (her first public show ever?) at The Bell House in Brooklyn - pics & setlist
Charlotte Gainsbourg, with full band, played her first of two shows at The Bell House in Brooklyn last night (1/19). Beck was not there, but Wayne Coyne was (in the audience). Not counting Letterman (which she already taped and I think airs Friday), Charlotte will perform four shows total while she's visiting. The final gig happens on January 23rd at Hiro Ballroom.
The rumor at the show was that it was her first public show ever - not just her first US or NYC show, but her first proper show anywhere. Maybe that's related to why I wasn't blown away, but then again, others were way more into it. To quote Bill, she was "a bit nervous, but charlotte gainsbourg was great at the bell house. no beck, nor his band...but c'est magnifique!" One Max Miller said, "Amazing show!" I heard similar accolades from others after the show too.
One highlight for me was her cover of Dylan's "Just Like A Woman", a tune she recorded with Calexico for the soundtrack of I'm Not There, a film she also appeared in. And speaking of films she's in, I'm a little scared to see Lars Von Trier's Antichrist after hearing some of its graphic details (Charlotte won 'Best Actress' at Cannes in 2009 for her role in it).
Dean & Britta opened the show. The full Bell House setlist with a few more so-so pictures from the night, below...

A deluxe version of Embryonic was released on October 13, 2009.It's no secret that Wayne Coyne loves people to get undressed. In the Flaming Lips' new video for "Watching the Planets", he even gets in on the action. It's embedded below, but that doesn't seem to be working so you can watch it at NME's site.
The deluxe edition includes the original 18 tracks (on two discs) as well as a bonus audio DVD which features the album in full dynamic range at 96k 24 bit audio. The CDs and DVD are in a "fur pack" with an extended booklet which features additional art, lyrics, and band photos. The deluxe edition also comes with a 14 inch by 28 inch lithograph featuring the full album cover. A limited number of pre-orders received an additional lithograph autographed by the band, shipped 2-3 weeks after the release date. [Wiki]

'And for like ten minutes she would just do these fucking amazing animal yelps and screams and growling and all this shit.'
Its a beautiful warm Sunday morning at Kutscher's and Wayne Coyne is waiting for me in a golf cart near the main stage. Clad in his trademark light colored suit, I shake his hand and exchange pleasantries. Then he notices that I'm with photographer Ryan Muir.
"You want to take some pictures? Lets head to the pool."
One problem. The pool is separated by a chain-link fence and there is no way around.
"Let's just jump it" Wayne says, but he's already on the other side.
Wayne is a gracious, charismatic ringmaster/shaman who is up for anything, as long as it leaves a lasting impression, much like the lovable oddballs The Flaming Lips that he fronts.
Starting over 25 years ago as an acid-drenched punk band with a Butthole Surfers obsession, The Flaming Lips have aged gracefully into their current role as quirky pop elder statesmen by keeping their punk rock spirit and freak-out tendencies. 1999's The Soft Bulletin began the band's current trajectory towards poignant and epic melodies, which continues with the release of their new LP Embryonic. It impacts record stores on October 13th, and you can listen to it now courtesy of the Colbert Report.
As you probably heard, The Flaming Lips were invited to headline All Tomorrow's Parties New York (ATP NY) as well as curate the final day of shows at the festival this year. We sat with the Oklahoma native on that sunday (9/13), while a team of men in orange jumpsuits (read: The Lips crew) carted around giant lighting sets, trashcans filled with stuffed animals, and yeti costumes....

ATP NY 2009 - Day 3 pics & review (Boredoms, Caribou, Deerhoof, Boris, Jarmusch, Oneida, that crazy guy...)
words by Black Bubblegum, photos by Ryan Muir
some of the stars of ATP NY 2009
What's almost the exact opposite of a soothing set of Seven Swans performed by one of the most delicate singers in indie rock? Try nine drummers (including Hisham Bharoocha, Zach Hill, and Kid Millions among other notables) bashing your fucking skull for so long that the stage manager has to come out to unplug their gear and remove toms from underneath them! That's how I started my ATP Day 3... with the Boredoms blowing my mind.
Starting off with sparse chords on the monstrous multi-neck guitar/percussive device, Eye set a calm and reflective mood... and then the cymbals. And then the toms. And then eight drummers pummeled away led by Yoshimi P-We. And then the synced rimshots that recalled an Animal Collective beat. All of this happened before a ninth drummer was carried into the show like an emperor while doing a call and response with the other eight.
Within about 10 minutes, I knew that Boredoms would take the prize as best show at Kutsher's that weekend. The sheer power of the coordinated drums, along with pregnant pauses and killer synth effects performed via keys, CD-DJ tables, and broomsticks (!) were beyond jaw dropping.
Following Boredoms, I poked my head into Oneida's Ocropolis for the first of many times. For 10+ hours, Oneida basically had the small and very decorated room all to themselves for a long jam session with their friends. Reportedly, the band had tape rolling the whole time (Ocropolis is the name of their Brooklyn recording studio) and had visuals provided by the Mighty Robot AV Squad. With local standbys like BJ Warshaw of Parts & Labor/Shooting Spires fame, Chris Weingarten (ex P&L), Todd P, and many others spotted in the Sportsman's Bar, it seemed like Brooklyn in the Catskills. Unfortunately, I missed every single special guest appearance (word is, and in part according to a sign on the door, Soft Circle, Yoshimi, Aaron from Tall Firs, Zach Hill, Steven Drozd and many others all popped in) but the band was very interesting to watch, alternating between songs, and droney ambient jams.
Caribou was next in the main room and the 16-piece(!) band including Sun Ra Arkestra member Marshall Allen, Koushik, Kieran Hebden (Fourtet) and many others. I had no expectations heading into the set and was pleasantly surprised, although I found the mix to have waaay too much low end.
I ducked out of Caribou early to catch the last twenty minutes of Hopewell who was billed to be playing "The Desperation Suite," "complete with a female choir and avant-garde saxophonist Mark Marinoff". From what little I saw, the three person "choir" did little but coo, ooh, ahh, and coordinate a dance, but the band did close with a rousing cover of Jane's Addiction's classic "Of Course".

DOWNLOAD: The Flaming Lips - Silver Trembling Hands (MP3)
For those complaining that the Flaming Lips didn't play any old songs, know this: 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was released in 1939 - benjamin redder
"Those confetti-spewing, peace-loving, Bush-hating hippie weirdos the Flaming Lips are set to tussle with Stephen Colbert on a new episode of "The Colbert Report" airing this Wednesday, according to the TV show's official site. If previous musical guest appearances are any indication, the Lips will perform a song from their new album, Embryonic (due October 13 on Warner Bros.), and take part in a delightfully antagonistic chat with the host." [P4K]The Flaming Lips played songs off that new album during their festival-closing set at ATP on Sunday night (9/13). One of them is available for free download above.
Employing many of their old, but still great, tricks, The Flaming Lips were the perfect Kutscher's headliner (and curator of Sunday's lineup). It was big, yet intimate. Their set was sensory overload with loud music, psychedelic projections, lights, smoke, confetti, balloons, streamers, lasers (that the band gave out to the audience), fans in costumes, people in costume on stage (fully dressed yetis on the left, scantily clad yetis on the right), stage hands in orange jumpsuits, lots of screaming people, Wayne in his gray suit with megaphone, and other various instruments. That includes an old style trumpet that he played a funeral march on, and the gong. Their was Obama cheering and sing-a-longs. There was no hand puppet, War Pigs or Hulk hands. There was talk of weed and the smell of it in the air.
The show started with a projection of a woman with her legs spread - a spinning hypnotic circle covered her most private of areas which got closer and closer and closer until all of a sudden the 3 non-Wayne band members made their grand entrance right through it (through a flap in the video screen at the back of the stage actually). Wayne then immediately kicked things off in the giant inflatable bubble.
They went on around 11:45 on Sunday night. I was outside of Kutscher's and on my way home in a car by 1:40 AM (then after some minor pit stops, I was home in Brooklyn around 4:30 Monday morning).
Wayne took time more than once throughout their set to repeatedly thank all the bands who played the festival including the Boredoms who played their killer Boadrum 9 set the same day. As others have pointed out, Yoshimi of the Boredoms (who I can't confirm was actually in the room watching) was there, and the Lips played "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" as part of their set.
"The lyrics of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots concern a diverse array of subject matter, mostly deeply melancholy ponderings about love, mortality, artificial emotion, pacifism, and deception, while telling the story of Yoshimi's battle. The title character is believed to be an allusion to Boredoms/OOIOO member Yoshimi P-We, who also performs on the album. Some listeners consider Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to be a concept album; however, the story is debated, as it is only directly apparent in the first four tracks. However, despite the story-type title and science fiction themes of the album, the Flaming Lips frontman, Wayne Coyne, has made it clear that the album is not intended to be a concept album" [Wiki]That kind of worked out that a Flaming Lips-curated NY ATP happened right around the time of 9/9/9 (when the Boredoms would want be be back in NY anyway to do their follow up show to 8/8/8 and 7/7/7).
Wayne could also be seen walking around and enjoying the upstate NY festival throughout the weekend. One great moment happened earlier on Sunday as Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier took time out from their set to thank everyone. As he thanked the Lips for inviting them, he turned his head to the side of the stage to direct his comment right at Wayne, who was in fact standing there watching.
No, there weren't old songs. Yes, they did play 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. BBG's take on it, and the rest of the pictures from the weekend are coming soon (though Day One are already HERE). An interview we did with Wayne (with Ryan Muir-taken portraits) is coming soon too. The rest of the Flaming Lips pics and the setlist, below....

What else?
"I'm a fan of [Arcade Fire] on one level, but on another level I get really tired of their pompousness," says [Wayne] Coyne [of the Flaming Lips]. "We've played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. Whenever I've been around them, I've found that they not only treated their crew like shit, they treated the audience like shit. They treated everybody in their vicinity like shit. I thought, 'Who do they think they are?' I don't know why people put up with it. I wouldn't put up with it. I don't care if it's Arcade Fire or Brian Eno. If either of them walked into a room and treated people like shit I'd be like, 'Fuck you, get outta here.'Rolling Stone posted that Wayne Coyne quote earlier today, and now Win Butler has responded on ArcadeFire.com (click on "Win" and then "Win's Scrapbook").
He continues, "People treat Arcade Fire like they're the greatest thing ever and they get away with it. Those sort of opinions change my view of their music. They have good tunes, but they're pricks, so fuck 'em. Who does Arcade Fire think they are? I've been around groups. I've been around the Edge from U2 and he's the fucking sweetest guy ever. I was around Justin Timberlake when he was young and he was just a normal, nice, kind person. Anyone can be polite and kind and people who have the privilege and money and attention should understand that. If they don't, then fuck 'em." [Rolling Stone]
Flaming Lips, New Years Eve setlist (Dec 31, 2008) (by Ruharvey)
Wayne Coyne was born on January 13, 1961 in Pittsburgh, the fifth of six children of Thomas and Dolores Coyne. Relatively uninterested in school, Coyne preferred music, painting, and football to his assignments. His brothers and other friends played in a backyard football team named the "Fearless Freaks." He continued making art for many years, and designed many of the early graphics for The Flaming Lips himself (in recent times, he has also provided the artwork for both Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and At War with the Mystics).today in NYC
Coyne worked as a fry cook at a Long John Silver's restaurant for 11 years, and was awarded a special badge to honor his service. Although he had been toying with an acoustic guitar since he was fourteen, it was this job which enabled him to purchase an electric guitar, a Les Paul, which he did after eight months of employment. Wayne was a senior in high school at the time. [Wikipedia]

Love it or hate it, licensing songs seems to be the new reality for "indie" bands (or any bands) looking to make money and gain exposure. As an avid music fan and Senior Director of Advertising & Video Games at Primary Wave Music Publishing, Ryan Barkan makes sure to stay on top of news related to artists getting their songs in ads, on TV, in movies, in video games and just about anywhere else a band would get paid to put a song. As someone who never pays attention to any of that, I thought the site could use a weekly column to
identify who sold out this week help fill in what I'm missing (think M.I.A. in the Pineapple Express commercial, Nick & Norah, Santogold shilling Bud Light, Chairlift & CSS for Apple, etc..). For that...please welcome Ryan (who also goes by the blog and photographer name "Fresh Bread")....

Microsoft's Halo 3 video game commercial was so amazing that it won the Grand Prix (i.e. best of show) at this past year's Cannes Advertising Awards, in June, in the "Film" ad category. The spot, titled "Believe", was created by San Francisco advertising agency T.A.G. and featured the dramatically delicate "Raindrop Prelude No 15" by Chopin against a violent and disturbing war scene.
Another huge 2008 release for Microsoft is the upcoming sequel to the game Gears of War, creatively called....wait for it...Gears Of War 2 (available November 7th exclusively on Xbox360). What works once should work again right? T.A.G. thought so and took the same approach with the music as they did with the "Believe" spot, juxtaposing the hard war visuals against a beautiful song, but this time with a more contemporary artist, Devotchka. The beautiful song they used by the Colorado band is called "How It Ends" and the trailer will debut on network television this Sunday, November 2, during NFL Sunday Night Football. You can also watch it right now. The video for that, and of the full version of "Believe", are below.
Other Notable Licensing News:
The Walmart-exclusive AC/DC edition of Rock Band is out November 2nd and now MTV/Harmonix have announced a Beatles video game that will be based on the "Rock Band" engine, but not branded "Rock Band". "The Best Of The Who" edition of Rock Band was released in July as DLC (downloadable content).
Hypebeast has the info on a new line of Miles Davis-inspired T-shirts by urban boutique and shoe company, Supreme.
Flaming Lips, the B-52's, BB King and others were commissioned by NBC to create their own interpretation of the network's classic "Chime In"...
You may not know that the notes to NBC's famous chimes are G, E, and C, but chances are you'd recognize the Peacock jingle in an instant. With that in mind, executives at the network decided to have some fun with their famous chimes and launched a national campaign calling for a 21st century reinvention of the 75-year-old television staple. [Hollywood Insider]Wayne Coyne talks about it in an interview to EW you can watch HERE.
What do Friendly Fires, The Duke Spirit, The Submarines, The Black Keys, Black Kids, The Virgins, and Robyn have in common? They've all had songs featured in an episode of Gossip Girl this month.
What about Lykke Li, Passion Pit and The Kooks? Well, as you may have read earlier, they'll all be appearing in future episodes of Gossip Girl/OC-creator Josh Schwartz's new "music-themed scripted web series" Rockville, CA.
I really dig the new spot for the Google Android Phone. The commercial features a song by The Black Angels called "Black Grease" - not sure if it'll convince me to switch from the iPhone but it's a nice placement nonetheless. Video below...

The Flaming Lips are hitting at least 17 music festivals this summer. Of that 17, four have already happened. There was Summer Camp, Jam on the River and Sasquatch. And then there was last weekend at Wakarusa in Lawrence, Kansas (home of Williams S Burroughs from 1981-1997). Like Jam on the River, Wakarusa was heavy on the jam bands. STS9, Lotus, Galactic, Tea Leaf Green, and Keller Williams were all on the bill. So were Mates of State, Dr. Dog, Cake, Tilly and the Wall, Bettye Lavette, Old 97's, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Arrested Development, Built to Spill and many more. And like a lot of summer festivals, Wakarusa was forced to deal with rain delays and related artist cancellations. And there was camping....
People of all ages find elaborate ways to set up their campsites, entertain themselves, sleep comfortably, at least as well as you can in 85 degrees, and grill up some grub. Since it's equal parts music and camping at Wakarusa, having the right supplies improves the experience. T.J. Baker, 23, Lawrence, said sleeping comfortably is key. Hammocks are the best, he said.No, there was no going back.
"I'm envious I don't have one with me, especially for napping," he said, looking at a yellow hammock his friend was sound alseep in. Eric Blakie, 22, and Jake Via, 23, both from Buffalo, N.Y., made the 16-hour road trip for the festival, so there was no going back for that forgotten toothbrush or towel... [Lawrence Journal]
As you know by now, Flaming Lips have integrated nudity into their already-over-the-top stage show. That stayed true at Wakarusa and one of the girls even seemed to be sending NYC a message. We read you loud and clear...

It's been a long time…
… But what's three months between friends? Apparently a lot; I've lost a whole bunch of you, haven't I? School's been a pain (I didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped), my social life is a drag, and my parents are in the middle of a divorce, but it's okay.
Incase you couldn't tell, this is going to be a rather shoddy recap post. So what have I been doing for the past 3 months?
O' Tumblr, where art thou?
I haven't gabbed my virtual jaws at you guys for a while now, and I figured that today would be a decent day. My life has been quite quiet recently; my mother's out of town and my father's barely in the house. James is out at sports most often, which means that I'm usually home alone from three to five. With the rainy weather that has been surrounding this sunny city recently, I've had a lot of time to think things over.
A poem by Bouregard Packworth:
Just another essay,
Just another test,
Just another rusty dagger
Plunging through my chest
But one plus one does equal two
And two plus two is four
And four plus six, that equals ten,
It goes forevermore
So too, these tests, you give to us
Are insurmountable
And what is only one to you
Have made us want to kill
so at least give us a week or two
Before you bring this up
Because we have other classes
And essays up the butt.
Peace and love

About today…
My dad just gave me the "Son, are you Gay?" talk. Now, not that I'm homophobic or anything, but just because I don't have a girlfriend doesn't mean I'm gay. If I had a penny for each time I've had this asked to me in the past couple years, well, I'd have about two dollars now.
I cannot verbally explain the amount of frustration I have just been subject to, so I will tell you in proto-human grunts:
ugh. Arf. Arsnootnah. HOOG. HONKADUTHA! Humchaba? Hoffo! Him nim nom! TOLOMGUAK!!!
That'll be all. Feel free to carry on with the rest of your day.
I'm done,
Q:First and foremost: do you deliberately capitalize words? I'm just curious. Second: your academic and overall worth is determined by two things, and two things only. They are, in order of importance, your ability to sustain yourself (health, finances) and your ability to feel happy. Truly and non-bullshitty, the opinions of others don't matter too much. As for Olivia - go ahead and ask. If you truly are good friends, and she gets awkwarded out, she should be able to return to the status quo.
1) Not intentionally. I have a bad habit of capitalizing unnecessarily, even when handwriting things.
2) Academically I'm okay, but I have no marketable skills which mean my finances won't end up as well as they should. I have little clue of what I'm actually going to end up doing, which is actually more stressful than I'd like to admit.
As for her, there's too much to discuss in a simple Q+A, so I'll put that up in a rant later.
Hugs and Torpedoes,

Felger & Massarotti discussed the Boston Red Sox and their recent sweep of the New York Yankees. The guys also talked about the Jorge Posada situation from over the weekend.
The guys compared the bullpens of the Sox and Yankees. Who's bullpen is more reliable this point of the season?
What kind of separation is going in the Yankees locker room? Posada begs out of the lineup and Yankees Captain Derek Jeter defended him. Is this turning into Posada and Jeter against Manager Joe Girardi and the Yankees front office?
Will the sweep of the Yankees, this weekend, help the Red Sox turn the corner?

Ford's Filling Station - to go or not to go?
I've heard such mixed reviews on this place... should I give it a try or is it really not worth the time and money?
IMO, some of the negative reviews came from people with exceedingly high expectations of the place. My expectations were that it would be a decent gastropub, like I have found in London before. And it lived up to those expectations. The food was not a revelation, but it was good. I remember the flatbread being tasty, I liked their salumi platter, and the pear tart that we had for dessert was really good.
re: glutton
I was there in Nov. It was fine at best. My burger was kind of dry. I am sure there are better choices.
We've been there several times -- the desserts are very good, the vibe is great, the service is so casual it's almost inadvertant, and the food is bland and overpriced. the exception is the burger where the blue cheese is so overpowering it's almost impossible to eat.
I actuallyprefer Tender Greens which is better than half the price for better food. Fraiche is a much better choice, as is Wilson -- both are similar to Ford's in their food and clientele objectives.
re: NAspy
here we go with the mixed reviews again to confuse the OP even more. we ended up at FFS after getting very rude treatment at fraiche. we were with an 86 yr old and when we made the 6pm reservation for 5 we asked to be seated inside but when we got there we were seated on the covered patio next to the door. they refused to move us to what was a restaurant only 1/4 filled at best so we stomped out and searched for an impromptu restaurant that would take us and that was FFS.
The food there is casual upscale pub style food. burgers, chicken, fries. don't expect a culinary revelation and the prices aren't as low as they should be, but they seem to use nice ingredients. only if the prices were a teeny weeny bit lower i think this place would be a great restaurant.
tender greens is good but it's order up at the counter so if you're looking for service there won't be any. i also hope they dealt with the portions issue. the last time i went they gave me supermodel portions. i hear the food at fraiche is wonderful but the people who work there seem to think they're above it all.
re: trolley
my last paragraph got cut off for some reason. but what i said was that FFS is not a destination by any means. but if you're in the area it's a nice casual place to go. they have good wines by the glass as well.
re: trolley
I've only been once in late 2006 or early 2007...can't remember. But, I really enjoyed it. The food was pretty solid. Our server was extremely helpful. I say give it a try.
I had Tender Green a few days ago. The online ordering is FANTASTIC! The food is simple, but good. I think the portions are a good size... well the salads and hot plates. Now, the veggie side, not so much. I liked the food at Fraice. I didn't have a problem with the hostess or wait staff when I went. I had to wait an hour. But, I walked in without a reservation during a summer weekend night. So, I didn't mind. However, I don't understand seating people outside when the dining room is empty.
I think it's absolutely worth trying. Great drinks and beer/wine selection, and not ALL of the food is stellar but some of it certainly is (like the fantastic polenta dish). Good atmosphere and service too.
I would also say give it a try and judge for yourself. I actually really like it. The scene is really fun, and the music is great. The flatbreads are really tasty, as are some of the sandwiches. I do think I go more for the fun atmosphere than the food - it is really relaxed.
While the wine list is interesting, the reds are always served too warm. I either order white by the glass, or red by the bottle and ask for an ice bucket. This seems to be a problem all over Culver City - I don't know why they like warm red wine there.
I always think that some place is worth trying once. We tried it once and that was enough for us.
Don't waste your money at FFS. There are so many other places in CC and surrounding areas that are much better. I have been there twice, and have been let down both times in terms of quality and quantity. I second the Tender Greens suggestion. If you are willing to throw down a little more cash, there's Fraiche and Wilson in CC. Try Taste on Melrose or LA FoodCourt or Cynthias on 3rd. They are much better than Fords.
I've been there a few times, each time expecting good food. No, not some inflated high expectations. Just give me good food, especially if they're charging what they charge. Each time I've been disappointed. Except for the fried clams the first time, it was stupendous, but the next time I got it, it was terrible. So my experience is that the food is just ok at best, and uneven. And I'm not paying those prices for just ok food. However, the desserts have been excellent every time.
And gotta echo the above recs for Tender Greens. I looooove Tender Greens.

Expanding the size of the in-game map from previous GTA titles, GTA: San Andreas is set in the semi-fictional state of San Andreas and its three metropolitan cities: Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas . Set in 1992, the game revolves around the gang member Carl "CJ" Johnson returning home to Los Santos after learning of his mother's murder.

GTA SAN ANDREAS is my fave GTA game in the series and i'll tell you why. San Andreas takes GTA to a whole new level you can play basketball, go the gym, get new clothes, skydive, go into the mountains and it really steps it up in every way possible the graphics seem better than Vice City but the whole gameplay and activitys and the map is larger, almost everything is great. The bad things are the missions they are really screwed up! like there is this one mission where you shoot down these mini airplanes with a minigun, or something like that. GTA SAN ANDREAS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a great game, a game most definately worth playing for it is just that great. San Andreas is perhaps the second best game in the GTA series, second only to GTA IV. The plot is very well told and interesting and the freedom that you have in San Andreas is flat out amazing. The graphics are a little messy and not really all that great but that is nothing compared to the rest of the package. The controls are really good but the foot controls are kind of wierd, the gunplay is a little lose and it sucks that there is no cover system but this is all very minor compared to the rest of the game. The characters in San Andreas are all really robust and alive, each with their own qualities that makes them so special and the voice acting and sounds are top of the line well the guns sound more like paintball guns so that is dumb but again just a tiny insignificant error. Overall, San Andreas is a great game that does not dissapoint at all, it is a great GTA game worth your time and it is probably the best game on the PS2. Breakdown for "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas": Presentation: 9.5, Graphics: 8.5, Sounds: 9.7, Playability: 9.8, Lasting Appeal: 9.8. Verdict: 9.6 out of 10 "Amazing"

Have to give this game a 10 given the depth of gameplay. Although to be honest it got slightly boring at times. the story is pretty awesome, and the amount of things you can do is crazy.

Perhaps the best analogy yet for the insane cold weather now afflicting the US came from science blogger Greg Laden, who created the viral image above. "Go home, Arctic," it reads. "You're drunk."
When it comes to the reason why the United States is currently experiencing life-threatening cold—with temperatures in the negative-20s in the Upper Midwest, and wind chills much lower than that—that's actually not so far from the truth. "It's basically the jet stream on a drunken path going around the Northern Hemisphere," explains Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. In other words, we're experiencing record-breaking cold temperatures because a wavy and elongated jet stream has allowed frigid Arctic air to travel much farther south than usual.
And according to Francis' research—which has drawn increasing attention in the past few years—we're seeing more of just this kind of jet stream behavior, thanks, at least in part, to the rapid warming of the Arctic.
The start of Chris Mooney's look at the science behind the bone-chilling polar vortex over at Climate Desk. You can check out the rest of his article here.
It appears that the world's second-largest economy and biggest climate offender is on the verge of an energy shift…
If it seems far-fetched to imagine millions of Americans becoming mini energy producers, just look at Germany, where 51 percent of the country's clean energy production is owned by individuals or farmers, while major utilities control just 6.5 percent of it.

This cabin was beyond nice. I would definitely recommend . The pictures don't do it justice . It had everything and anything. The owner answered all my questions and got back to me right away . We all enjoyed our stay didn't want to leave. Only down side is the driveway it was really steep but can't really except to much since you're in the mountains .
Very comfortable
My husband and Puppy dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. I especially like the fenced in small yard for our dog and felt she was safe. Even though I didn't let her out of my site. It was perfect for our ten day stay.

Hakar Kerarmor is a pretty cool guy. Eh draws pony comics and doesn't afraid of anything.
Anytime… except when I'm trying to sleep.
((Ironflank belongs to askaquilinus, and can be found here: http://askaquilinus.tumblr.com/ enjoy :D ))
Captain Aquilinus is my favorite guard pony. He's just right for my jokes: not so uptight that he doesn't get the joke, but not so loose as to lose his composure completely when I tell it. You can see more of his adventures as a royal guard of Princess Celestia over at Ask Aquilinus.

Script #15
Shipping request from Prosopeio of Aquilinus and Wild Card! Another part from the 5/19/12 Livestream.
BWAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAAHAH all my love.
Aqui was talkin about clothing re-designs. Agreed that a flight-oriented pony should have a lighter armor, maybe something more leather or cloth than not, with light sturdy armor on needed areas. I thought a helmet to designate Pegasus class would be a must - more aerodynamic. I thought about brilliant sun gold, but then thought silver while in the clouds to blend in; wing motif naturally. A sash, too, might be a good touch about the neck - red obviously, for it is the color of courage, blood, and leadership. Of course, this all means Aqui will have to grow his illustrious golden locks out to let them flutter in the breeze.
I think it's a winner!
(( Looks a little bit like Thor, actually… ))
The difference between you and me is… I make this outfit look good.
(( You know, I was thinking of redesigning his armor too. ))
C-Captain Aquilinus?
Yeah, I know of him! He's only the bravest, coolest stallion that I've ever heard of! He's my hero!
Ah..hah, sorry about that. The Legend of Captain Aquilinus is well known to me. He was my colthood idol, and one of the reasons I wanted to become a guard in the first place. Call it hero-worship if you want, but the stories my dad told me about him have always stuck with me in one way or another.
I mean, come on! The guy fought dragons, gryphons, outlaws and bandits, and I heard he wasn't too shabby with the fillies either. How could you not admire a stallion with that kind of reputation? Aquilinus was fearless and brave…though I heard a couple of tales that stated he was deathly afraid of this one castle chef. Can't be true though. No way.
Sadly…he's only a storybook character. I'd like to think I've outgrown such things since then, but if Aquilinus ever existed, I would shake that stallion's hoof -hard-…and probably ramble like an idiot about how amazing he is.
Aw, geeze. I think I'm blushing. Can we just consider these questions done? I've gotta get back to my station.
(( For those who don't know, Aquilinus ( http://askaquilinus.tumblr.com/ ) is a Captain of the Guard OC that was around a long time before Shining Armor was even announced to the public. The guy meticulously built his tumblr around awesome world-building , and he was one of the people that inspired me to make my Wild Card tumblr. ))
(( He's a good friend of mine, and out of respect for him, my Shining Armor doesn't exist in the same universe as his Captain character. Instead, he's a tale of legend and heroics, as you can see. ))
(( Art in BG of pic is done by : asksweetcream.tumblr.com ))
(( Now I'm blushing! ))
(( My heartfelt apologies to everyone waiting on me to get AskAqui started again. I actually did figure out a way of getting back on track, but motivation has been hard to come by, for personal reasons. Aqui isn't dead, I promise you that. ))
(( Thanks for sticking with it and thanks to WildMod for being an awesome waifu. ))
(SC) zzzzzzz…nnnh
(SC) Wha- what time is it?
(SC) That noise - Aqui?
(SA) Oh I'm sorry Miss Cream! I didn't mean to wake you. I just had a hankering for an early-morning snack. Um… by the way - who is Aqui?
(SC) N-no - this isn't right!
(SC) I don't want this!
(( D'aaaaaww! <3 ))
(( Tumblr doesn't want to reblog the whole thing, so make sure to check the source for the rest! ))

Many retirees set their sights on conventional spots—a condo in Florida, perhaps, or a nicely manicured golf-course community down South. New York journalist Barry Golson, however, chose a far more adventurous path for him and his wife, Thia: a fishing village on the Pacific coast of Mexico. … Back to Article

Frankly, I have mock draft fatigue. That's what happens where your team follows up a mediocre 8-8 season with a 4-12 disaster. You don't start looking to the future in January, you begin in late October. Analysts and mockers will tell you that the process is a fluid one, constantly changing, always shifting course, and that's probably true. But having read the same handful of names over and over again has started to lose its substance and meaning for me. Still, we push on.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane throws his hat into the mock draft ring and has the Eagles upgrading their offensive line by drafting OT Eric Fisher. Here's his breakdown.
4. Eagles, Eric Fisher, T, Central Michigan
With Jason Peters and Todd Herremans aging and coming off injuries, Chip Kelly strengthens his offensive line.
It's hard to argue with McLane's logic. Fisher has risen up the boards of many experts and is believed to be an early first-round talent. With Luke Joeckel almost certain to come off the board by the time the Eagles draft with the fourth pick (maybe), Fisher would seem like the logical choice a team that desperately needs to inject some talented youth along the line.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A man accused of keeping three women captive in his Cleveland home for a decade, beating them, and raping them repeatedly is waiting to be sentenced after pleading guilty to avoid the death penalty.
Fifty-three-year-old Ariel Castro is scheduled to appear next week for sentencing. The former school bus driver pleaded guilty Friday to 937 counts in a deal that sends him to prison for life without parole, plus 1,000 years. The judge set Castro's sentencing hearing for Thursday.
Castro had been awaiting trial on charges including that he repeatedly restrained the women and punched and starved one woman until she had a miscarriage.
The women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were in their teens or early 20s. They escaped from Castro's home May 6.

Glory in Deathby J D Robb
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects--including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead..to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.
In Lieutenant Eve Dallas's latest case, two murder victims have one connection--Eve's lover, Roarke.

Bangui, Central African Republic
By Joe Penney
On Thursday, the volatile Central African Republic was host to a bloodbath. Hours of fighting between the former "Seleka" rebels that took power in a March coup d'etat and local militia and fighters loyal to the deposed president, Francois Bozize, killed over a hundred. As the situation continues to deteriorate, France is set to take a bigger role in its former colony's security, sending hundreds of troops in the coming days.
Yet while security is what is grabbing the headlines at the moment, CAR's problems lie much deeper. Already an unstable state in the run-up to the coup, the Central African government is now in tatters and just going through the motions. During the coup, most ministry buildings were looted for cash, computers and anything hungry rebels could get their hands on. Little has since been replaced.
The Seleka rebels stole a computer from a state laboratory containing vital information on HIV patients' medication. They even stole the minister of commerce's car.
"We come to work with famine. We're in debt. When we get our salaries they just go to pay our debt and then we go back to our lives of suffering – at this point there's no longer a state," said Flore Koyassambia-Nadege, a clerk at the national treasury.
Tensions between ex-Bozize cadres and the new Seleka guns in charge make for uneasy relations between government and military.

By Tererai Karimakwenda
02 November 2012
The brutal assault on an MDC-T official and his wife, which happened Wednesday night in Kadoma, has fuelled anger among Zimbabweans and sparked fears that political violence is intensifying ahead of elections due next year.
The attack has also focused attention on Robert Mugabe, who on several occasions recently said publicly that he wants peace and tolerance between party supporters. Critics are now questioning the ZANU PF leader's sincerity, saying he must order police to arrest all known perpetrators and investigate incidents that are reported.
The MDC-T Treasurer for Midlands North, John Kinnaird and his wife Jackie, were assaulted by a group of four ZANU PF thugs who broke into their home in Kadoma Wednesday night and escaped with $2,000 and two cell phones.
The thugs wore ZANU PF regalia and dropped a ZANU PF bandana during the attack. John Kinnaird said they kept asking for money, appearing to be robbers after some cash. But he believes the assault was politically motivated.
Kinnaird spoke to SW Radio Africa on Friday, just as his wife was coming out of surgery to treat the broken arm she sustained during the attack. He said: "I don't believe for a minute that it was a simple robbery. I just believe strongly that there was a political motive."
Kinnaird explained that there were two laptops next to the money taken by the thugs and his wife's jewellery was on a dressing table next to that as well. He added that his legs were tied and his wife was incapacitated by the time the thugs left, but they did not take any other valuables.
"I think the fact that I am becoming increasingly popular here in Kadoma and Eiffel Flats is the reason that I was targeted. They were trying to bully me into giving up my political activism. I've been an activist since 1999 and I will not bow down to any bullies," Kinnaird stressed.
There has also been criticism of the MDC-T, for continuing to do business as usual while their innocent supporters are being victimised by ZANU PF and agents of the state, including the police and soldiers.
According to medical reports 56-year old John Kinnaird sustained multiple head wounds and required 14 stitches. He also suffered a fractured right arm and deep puncture wounds on his legs and just below his throat. These were the result of repeated blows with a metal wheel spanner.
His wife Jackie got a bruised throat where she was almost strangled by the ZANU PF youth. She also has a compound fracture on her left arm, which was operated on Friday afternoon.
Kinnaird explained that whenever Robert Mugabe speaks publicly of peace and non-violence, it seems the opposite situation prevails and violence flares up soon after that.
"My experience in my political life is that when Mugabe starts talking about peace, what happens on the ground is diametrically opposite. There are now targeted acts of intimidation and violence against known MDC-T supporters like myself," Kinnaird explained.
He said the police told him on Friday that they have no leads and no clues that they can investigate. Yet they took a weapon that was left in his house by one of the assailants. According to Kinnaird, the police just seemed uninterested.
This attack is just the latest in the ongoing violence against anyone perceived to support the opposition.

The rise of the US dollar is unsettling the markets. The big question is, will this volatility turn into something more unpleasant? John Stepek looks at what's going on.
Steer clear of US assets
Merry Somerset Webb explains why you won't want to own American assets when the money-printing ends.
How to play the surging dollar
As the Fed prepares to stop its QE programme, the dollar is spiking upwards. John Stepek looks at how you can profit.
Forget the sliding price – the bitcoin revolution has only just begun
Bitcoin has slid over 70% from its 2013 high. And it's likely to fall further. But the currency – and the technology behind it – has a huge future.
What to invest in as King Dollar retakes his throne
The US dollar has risen sharply as America's economy recovers. And that looks set to continue. John Stepek explains what it means for investors.
The bull-market in the dollar has legs
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of major trading partners' currencies, has leapt to a four-year high.
South Africa's rand on the slide
The rand has resumed its slide against the dollar – don't expect a recovery anytime soon.
Is this the 21st century's most important invention?
The potential of the block chain – 'bitcoin's DNA' – is immense, says Bengt Saelensminde. It could revolutionise everything from the money we use, to the NHS.
How to cope with exchange-rate risk
Exchange rates can have a big affect on your portfolio. Phil Oakley explains how to manage the risks and maybe even profit.
The Aussie dollar takes a tumble
The Australian dollar has fallen against its American counterpart – don't expect a rebound.
A winning streak for the dollar
The greenback's rally has gathered pace as the Federal Reserve reins in its stimulus programme.

Everyone Says I'd Do You: Fading Gigolo
By Stephanie Zacharek
The Bank. Robert Connolly. A math wizard (David Wenham) is hired by an evil bank CEO (Anthony LaPaglia) to perfect a system to predict stock-market movements to within a second's accuracy so that the exec may pull off a huge market manipulation and get his board of directors off his back. This new thriller from Down Under, a reasonably adept little item from first-time writer/director Robert Connolly, is relevant to all our recent banking and accounting scandals, which makes it engaging enough to neutralize its occasional plot holes. For most of its length, the plot is more than a little reminiscent of AntiTrust, the unintentionally hilarious computer-biz film from two years ago with Tim Robbins doing his outrageous Bill Gates impersonation. The Bank is by any standard a "better" movie, but it must be added that AntiTrust was more consistently entertaining, in a Showgirls/train-wreck sort of way. The Bank moves swiftly and enjoyably, even if there's nothing on display that leaves more than the lightest impression on the memory. Shows at 7 p.m. Friday-Sunday, January 31-February 2, in Webster University's Moore Auditorium, 470 E. Lockwood. (AK)
Casablanca. Michael Curtiz. World War II-era classic starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and the start of a beautiful friendship. Screens at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 5, at Beatnik Bob's Café in the City Museum. NR
In the Shadows of the City. Jean Khalil Chamoun. In the Shadows of the City presents a fictionalized narrative, though it seamlessly integrates authentic documentary footage including the siege of Beirut and two 1982 massacres. Jean Khalil Chamoun, previously a war reporter who shot most of the newsreel footage here, drew on his memories of the 1975-1990 civil war in Lebanon. Shadows begins in late 1974 in a southern Lebanese village as Israeli bombings force twelve-year-old Rami and his family to move to Beirut. Following Rami over a decade, we watch a strong young woman named Yasmine, a ruthless mobster called Hyena, a sympathetic widow who runs a coffee shop and other well-drawn characters particularize the troubles. Most unusual, as warring factions divide Beirut into sectors, Chamoun never identifies the factions as Christian or Muslim, opting to focus on humanity in peril. In Farsi with English subtitles. Screens at 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 4, in Webster University's Moore Auditorium, 470 E. Lockwood. (DC)
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. John Cassavetes. On the heels of his sole moment of commercial success with the Academy-honored A Woman Under the Influence, John Cassavetes countered with a strange, almost plotless film that was uniformly blasted as pointless and pretentious. Time has been surprisingly good to Chinese Bookie, and its loose, unpredictable style now seems more exhilarating than self-indulgent. Ben Gazzara -- excellent, as nearly always -- plays a strip-club owner whose only worry is his gambling debt to the mob. That thin thread of a gangster movie is as close as Cassavetes gets to a story; he chooses instead to work around it like a jazz musician improvising his way through the chords of an old standard. Despite its sleazy surroundings, the plot is more cinema verité than melodrama, an intimate and objective look at a man standing at the edge of a moral abyss. Shows at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 4, in the Fontbonne University library's Lewis Room. For information, call 314-719-8061. (RH)
