Toyota Prius+ Hatchback (2012 - ) Expert review
Read the Toyota Prius+ car review by Auto Trader's motoring experts, covering price, specification, running costs, practicality, safety and how it drives.The Auto Trader expert verdict: 3.1 The first extension of the Prius hybrid model range, the Prius+ is currently unique in being the only seven-seater with sub 100g/km CO2 emissions. It carries over the strengths of the hatchback, namely a serene drive and impressive standard equipment, but lacks the ultimate practicality of the best MPVs.
- The cleanest seven-seater on the market
- Potentially very economical
- The first Prius in the UK with hi-tech Lithium-ion batteries
- Mediocre interior design and quality
- Bland, uninvolving driving experience
- Small load space with third row of seats in place

Exterior Our rating 3/5
The signature triangle, aerodynamically dictated profile of the Toyota Prius hatchback translates well into the larger Prius+. It's less obviously different from the rest of the MPV herd, but the shape is still designed to cleave the air as cleanly as possible, aiding those all important economy figures. Toyota has been so successful in this, that the Prius+ currently has the lowest drag of any seven-seater car. The wide, flat bumpers both front and rear serve not only to reduce turbulence over the wheels, but also lend the Prius+ a broad, planted stance on the road. A blue tint around the grille aims to highlight the car's electric disposition, but can look somewhat tacky, particularly against the lighter of the seven colours the Prius+ is available in.
Interior Our rating 2/5
Toyota interiors traditionally major on functionality rather than design flair, and the Prius+ is no different. All of the controls are logically placed and intuitive to use, but the layout and switchgear are generic and the quality of materials is lacking compared to rivals. Grey plastic is the dominant feature, with a finish on the dashboard, which looks hard and scratchy, but is actually a soft, velour like material. It's a similar story for the door trims and centre armrest, which are mix of hard plastic and cheap feeling fabrics. It's certainly worlds away from the austere solidity of the Volkswagen Touran, or the funky styling of the Ford C-Max. The interior ambience is lifted somewhat by the standard fit panoramic glass roof and the touch-screen entertainment system, which adds a splash of colour and distracts from the otherwise dull facia.
Practicality Our rating 3/5
The reason for the Prius+'s existence, though not an area in which it can claim to hold all the aces. Stretching the wheelbase and switching to more compact Lithium-ion batteries means there is indeed room for a third row of seats, but they are cramped and only really suitable for children and short journeys. Even the middle row suffers from a lack of legroom, though headroom throughout the car is plentiful. With the rearmost seats in place, load space is severely compromised, with just 232 litres to play with. Best to fold them flat when not in use, which increases available space to 784 litres. Handily, both the second and third row of seats can be stowed flat to the floor, maximising usable space (then 1,750 litres) and fitting flush with the boot lip, which would otherwise get in the way when loading bulky items. Storage around the cabin is plentiful, with two glove boxes and large door bins designed to accept drinks bottles. The standard-fit rear parking camera helps get around the visibility issues raised by the car's thick C-pillar, though otherwise the Prius+ is generally easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, with a tight turning circle that belies the size of the car.
Ride and handling Our rating 3/5
Where most modern cars aim to solve the issue of biasing a car's behaviour between ride comfort and cornering ability with multiple settings and adjustable suspension, the Prius+ sticks itself firmly and unashamedly in the ride comfort camp. It will glide down an A road or motorway with only severe imperfections in the road surface being transmitted into the cabin. Coupled to a hushed cabin (near silent when the car is running in electric only EV mode), it is a supremely relaxing way to travel, and likely to be a boon if your children are prone to car sickness. Toyota's new Pitch and Bounce Control takes some credit for this, as it uses torque from the electric engine to quell body movement over undulations in the road. The trade off for this magic-carpet ride is that the Prius+ is a car best driven at a fairly relaxed pace. Enter a corner briskly and the electronic stability program will intervene early to keep everything in check. This lack of dynamism and the somewhat lacklustre performance from the engine, means drivers are cowed into a softly-softly driving style, which is unlikely to appeal if you're in the least bit interested in driving.
Performance Our rating 2/5
The Prius+ is available with only one engine option: a 1.8-litre 98bhp petrol engine mated to an electric motor, which can put out up to 36bhp. Toyota claims a 0-62mph time of 11.3 seconds and a top speed of 103 mph. Not particularly spectacular performance figures, but from behind the wheel the Prius+ feels even slower. The standard fit CVT automatic gearbox (the only available option) doesn't help in this regard, making the car sound and feel strained when you're making progress. It can be a frustrating sensation, particularly if you're used to the turbocharged oomph of modern diesel engines, which MPVs of this type are commonly equipped with.
Running costs Our rating 3/5
Economical motoring is the main reason for buying the Prius+. It is currently the only seven-seat car on the market that falls below the 100g/km watershed for road tax-free CO2 emissions, emitting just 96g/km. This impressive cleanliness is spoilt slightly if you opt for T Spirit model, though. The larger wheels have the effect of upping CO2 emissions to 101g/km and also reduce the combined fuel economy from 68.9 to 64.2mpg. Quite a penalty, and you're unlikely to achieve those figures in the real world. Over a 50 mile test route in a T Spirit model, we managed 54.5mpg – more than acceptable for a petrol powered car of this size, but it's nothing that can't be achieved with a conventional diesel engine. Another thorn in the side of the Prius+'s economy mission is its high purchase cost. The entry level model comes in at £26,195 on the road, while the top of the range T Spirit costs £29,495. At this price point, the Prius+ is unlikely to make sense for families looking to save money, as there is a vast range of competitors, which are similarly frugal (if not quite as clean in the emissions stakes) but with much lower sticker prices.
Reliability Our rating 4/5
While little is properly known about the ultimate longevity of the battery packs fitted to hybrid cars, Toyota has the most experience in the field, with the largest number of hybrid models on the market. It also enjoys a deserved reputation for reliability, so it's unlikely that the Prius+ will let you down mechanically. For peace of mind the car is covered by Toyota's five-year, 100,000 mile warranty, while the battery pack itself is covered for eight years.
Safety Our rating 3/5
The Prius+ has yet to be tested by Euro NCAP, but the regular Prius hatchback, on which it is based, was awarded a full five stars, with particularly high scores for adult occupant protection. Driver aids such as the reversing camera and intelligent cruise control help reduce the risk of collision, and there is a plethora of airbags, including side impact and curtain bags, so you should be well protected if the worst happens.
Equipment Our rating 5/5
The Prius+ boasts a generous standard equipment list, with entry level T4 models coming equipped with an automatic CVT gearbox, air-con, reversing camera, Bluetooth phone and music connectivity, head-up display, panoramic glass sunroof with electrically operated blinds, rain sensing wipers, 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless go and a multimedia touch screen. Opt for the higher spec T Spirit trim and you'll be treated to 17-inch alloy wheels, full leather upholstery, an uprated JBL sound system, voice recognition and Toyota's Touch and Go Plus touch-screen sat nav. Optional extras include metallic and pearlescent paint and a protection and style pack which add protective body mouldings and chrome effect exterior trim detailing respectively.
Why buy? Our rating 3/5
It's the Prius for people who need more Prius, according to Toyota. They're right too. If you've ever been tempted by a hybrid but have a large family in tow, then the Prius+ could well be the ideal proposition. If you're just looking for an economical seven-seater, there are plenty of alternatives available, which offer similar practicality and economy, and more entertainment behind the wheel.

Intel USB 3.0 controller coming later in 2010
USB 3.0 is turning up in more and more products and more and more USB 3.0 gear is coming to market all the time. Many were disappointed when Intel decided not to integrate USB 3.0 into its chipsets this year.
Intel has now said that it will have its own USB 3.0 host controller later in 2010, but that controller will not be part of its chipsets. The reason the controller won't be part of the chipset is that it reportedly costs about $9 to integrate USB 3.0 into the typical mainboard.
This eliminates the feature for low-end boards because it would make the board too expensive. Still, Intel doesn't want to give the market fully to its completion like NEC, who is set to ramp production on its USB 3.0 controller. More availability of competing solutions is a good thing.

Xbox set to get storage via USB
The Xbox 360 has been selling very well love the last few months and for a time it was selling better than both the Wii and the PS3. The game console is set to get new storage according to reports.
Joystiq reports that USB storage may be introduced to the Xbox 360 consoles as a cost reduction method. The idea is that the consoles would store to USB devices rather than internal hard drives.
That would actually be a great thing. We could plug in any size external HDD we wanted to store download games and other stuff on rather than running out of space on an internal HDD that you can't upgrade.

GIGABYTE first out with USB 3.0 Mini-ITX motherboard soon
GIGABYTE today posted an update on its Tech Daily blog regarding a new small Mini-ITX motherboard that is in the works from the Taiwanese company.
The motherboard is based on Intel's H55 Express chipset. Blog author Tim mentioned that it comes loaded with many audio and video features that are unprecedented in motherboards of this size and we would tend to agree with that statement. He reckons that "dynamite does come in a small package!" What's interesting is that we saw on a Chinese blog that the board will also come with USB 3.0 ports, which makes it the first Mini-ITX board to come with the new SuperSpeed connectivity.
TweakTown was able to obtain a picture of the upcoming motherboard, which sits next to a comparatively giant X58A-UD7, for some prospective on its actual size. The shot of the board you can see above is of a non-final sample and we are not totally sure when the board will go on sale, but we expect pretty soon.

NEC doubling production of its USB 3.0 host controller
NEC Electronics recently announced that it plans on massively ramping up production of its USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) certified SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) host controller.
By April, the large Japanese company stated that it intends on doubling its output production of the popular host chip from one million units to two million per month.
Recently there has been a delay in seeing some USB 3.0 based products hit the market due to shortages of USB 3.0 host controllers, which are vastly only produced by NEC and Fujitsu, at this stage of the game. In fact, we've been waiting on review samples of USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures for instance, but they've had to be postponed due to aforementioned shortages.
Come April or May as the greater supply of chips begin to flow, shortage issues should be resolved somewhat by this announcement from NEC.

ASUS O!Play HD2 USB 3.0 media player gets video hands-on
During CeBIT in Germany earlier this month, a YouTube user by the name of Charbax visited the ASUS booth and got a video hands-on with the upcoming ASUS O!Play HD2 USB 3.0 HD media player. It is due to go on sale this summer, or winter if you are from the southern part of the world.
The HD2 is the third generation media player from ASUS and continues to use the same Realtek chipset solution, however with a few refinements added to the player. First and probably most notably is the addition of the USB 3.0 interface for super fast transfers between the player itself and your PC. Also added an eSATA port and the actual appearance of the player has also been changed and looks rather nice with a modern and stylish finish.
We've already been in contact with ASUS here in Taiwan about getting a sample and when they are ready, we'll have one in for a full video review.

Energizer Duo Charger and USB Charger software has massive security vulnerability
Energizer has been selling its Duo Charger and USB Charger for a long time now. Both of the chargers can charge rechargeable batteries directly from the USB port on your computer.
Energizer offered software along with the chargers that could be downloaded from the Energizer website for PC and Mac machines. The Mac software is reportedly fine, but there is a massive security issue with the Windows version of the software and it should be removed from your PC immediately.
Energizer reports that it is working with the US government and US-CERT to determine how the software was infiltrated with a backdoor program called Arucer.dll. The backdoor opened computers running the Energizer software to access from remote systems allowing remote users to view directories, send and receive programs and files, and execute software. User will need to remove specific files from their registry in addition to uninstalling the Energizer software.

Asus whips out O!Play HD2 networked media player sporting USB 3.0
There are lots of people out there who are massive consumers of digital content and media of all sorts. Many of us have digital media stored on several devices around our home networks including game console, notebooks, and desktop PCs.
Asus has debuted a new networked media player called the O!Play HD2. The player is the first to offer USB 3.0. That fast connectivity will presumably be to offer external storage and allow playback of content on external devices directly.
The HD2 also has a built-in memory card reader and eSATA port too. Full details on the device are missing right now, but we should learn all about the new HD2 in time.

Posted January 15, 2013 on AP on Fox
Lou Lamoriello has had a habit of finding players that other teams have given up on and getting them to produce for the New Jersey Devils. The Devils president and general manger netted productive seasons from castoffs Ryan Carter and Steve Bernier in winning the Eastern Conference last season, and Lamoriello is hoping to do the same with Bobby Butler this season. Butler had the final year of his contract bought by the Ottawa Senators after a disappointing sophomore season. Lamoriello signed him to a two-way contract in August. The Senators had high expectations for the 25-year-old Marlborough, Mass., native after he scored 10 goals in 36 games as a rookie, but they soured on him and his one-way contract after he had just six tallies in 56 games last season.

We have two backstage passes to meet Jason Aldean in Houston with your name on them.
Week 1 is (nearly) in the books and the season got off to an exciting start with lots of top teams playing closer-than-expected games. Here are some things we learned this week.
The Top Ten Has a Lot of Question Marks
While there were no major upsets this weekend, that's not to say that we didn't see some red flags surrounding some of the nation's top teams
Nothing quite like a brutally graphic piece of physical evidence to drive the point home.
Each week, 95.3 The Bear and Pepsi will spotlight 'A Southern Original' featuring an up and coming country artist and delve into their music and history.
We have survived another long off-season, and college football is once again upon us in all its glory. Here are five burning questions as we enter Week 1:
A Vine user named Ian Padgham (@origiful) took a series photos of his wife during her pregnancy, resulting in this stunning final project.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, right?
On Aug. 25, 1979, Charlie Daniels was undoubtedly doing plenty of celebrating. It was on this day 35 years ago that the singer earned his first No.1 hit with his single 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia.'
Brace yourself -- cooking corn on the cob is about to become a breeze.
Our long national nightmare is almost over, and we are down to just a few more days until college football returns on August 28. Here are some of the burning issues we can't wait to see play out in the coming weeks.

Masked woman found in ex-beau's home faces stalking, burglary charges
Dawn Marie Thompson, 42, of Haverhill, Mass., is facing two counts of burglary and single counts of stalking and criminal mischief. The new charges were made public after she was indicted in Rockingham County Superior Court.
Thompson, who briefly worked as a summer school teacher at Haverhill High School last year, allegedly keyed her ex-boyfriend's 2007 Ford Ranger and slashed the vehicle's tires sometime between last June 25 and July 3, according to court records.
The first burglary in Hampton happened sometime between last April 9 and 13. Police believe Thompson broke a basement window to enter the home.
Hampton police responded to a burglary in progress at the house at 6:58 a.m. on Aug. 9.
The man told police that he confronted a masked Thompson inside the home and she fled.
Thompson faces up to 3½ to seven years in state prison on burglary and criminal mischief charges. The stalking charge is a misdemeanor.

I was wondering what kind of food people might know how to make or have eaten in line with their ethnicity.
For me being from Minnesota, you probably would expect me to have eaten lutefisk, but no. I'm not Scandinavian, which make those, and I've never had a chance to.
What I do know about is from my mom's side of the family. Her dish is from Michigan's upper peninsula, near the Iron ranges. The food that I have eaten is called a "Pasty" sounds like the word "past" and then "e"
Basically its meatloaf (hamburger) with potato chunks and onions inside of it. It is shaped into a ball, and then a crust goes around it. (like a really dry pie crust)
One eats it with ketchup.
I don't know what part of the old country its from, but possibly around a polish or german background.

In recent years, Freeway has, if not departed from his traditional, hard-nosed image, diversified considerably; hell, last we heard from the Philly representative, he was waxing poetic about the joys of cuddling on rising R&B star Carlyle's sentimental single Never Go. While I'm as much of a fan of the new, more huggable Freeway as anyone, it's nice to hear the freestyle alum's more aggressive side make its return on Turn It Up, a potential inclusion on the artist's forthcoming collaborative EP with Bink!. As the record's title suggests, this song is made to be blasted at high volume, with the veteran beatsmith serving up a bombastic, brass-sampled beat to back Freeway's melodic yet bruising flows. Lyrically, the headliner keeps it straight gully, mixing larger-than-life braggadocio with outright hostility toward his enemies: "These n*ggas dead wrong, loud like an airhorn, hit 'em with the cannon leave 'em dead on Dearborn." Find yourself reflexively turning the volume knob clockwise while listening to this hard-hitting selection? Then stay tuned for further details on Free and Bink!'s collaborative project, as well as all the latest tunes!

The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft Volume 28
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from ... Show synopsis This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...the parish priest "of the church of this city."5 It is not unreasonable to conclude that Cortes, previous to his departure, marked out the site and took measures for the erection of a church, which was begun during his absence, and completed at a later date. 4Cortis, Rexwleneia, i. passim; MotoVtnin, Ilut. Ind., 101. 5The same book proves that, in August 15l'4, tho hospital of Jesus was founded and a church attached to it. Alaman maintains that the parish church and this one were the first established. Disert., ii. 133. Orozcoy Berra, quoting the same authority, draws the conclusion that in the last months of 1524, after Cortes had left for Honduras, the first church wa3 built. Mex. No!. Cind., GO. Icazbalecta considers that hardly any doubt exists that the first church was not built until after the arrival of the Franciscans. Hulazir, iIcr. en 1554, 184-202; Torquemada, iii. 3,3-0, Accordinli to Vetancurt, the name of St Joseph was given to the parochial church. Trot. Mix., 0. The assertions of Meudieta and Torquemada, who advance the claim of the Franciscans, are disputed by Sigiienza y Gongora and Alaman. They are, moreover, at variance with Herrera, who plainly attributes to Cortes the establishment of the principal church. Herrera's statement--dec. iii. lib. iv. cap. viii.--may, however, be reconciled with that of Mendieta, by interpreting it to mean that only the initiatory steps were taken by the conqueror. Mendicta asserts that the church was built in 1525, 'con muchabrevedad; porquc el gobernador D. Fernando Cortes puso en la edificacion mucha calor. Hut. Ec!cx., 222. Cortes, however, was in Honduras at that time. According to evidence given by witnesses in his residencia it would appear that it was built during his absence in Honduras; though...

Heaven Adores You, the new documentary celebrating the work and life of Elliott Smith, opens appropriately grim and muted, with the requisite interviews with close friends and associates who start to speak before trailing off into a meditative silence. Larry Crane, archivist for the Elliott Smith estate and the owner of Jackpot! Studios, which he built by hand with Smith, recalls the Oscar nomination of "Miss Misery": "I think it was the worst thing, in a way, that could have happened... actually," Crane says, and his eyes do the unfocusing thing, momentarily staring at a point in near distance.
There's something really appealing about the concept of "deconstructed trance." Trance—the musical genre—is so structural, you can only imagine it would lend itself especially well to deconstruction. You imagine an artist sitting down with a box of tools and taking apart the canon piece by piece, ending up with tidy piles of components. Over here, a heap of glassy stabs. Over there, a stack of snare rolls. All the kick drums could go in a box, like so many nuts and bolts—because what is a genre, after all, but a collection of nuts and bolts? The process might be a little bit like disassembling Ikea furniture before a move: carefully stacking all the boards and storing all the little metal bits and wooden pegs in Ziploc baggies—something anyone who owns a lot of records can probably relate to. Except in this case, the goal isn't to reassemble an Expedit; it's to cobble together an entirely different shape, maybe one with a different purpose. It's about a kind of creative misuse.

Although the Toronto electro-punks recently announced their split, Crystal Castles still made some of the decade's best synth pop. Charting a course of abstract alienation, their staggering kinesis of bratty screaming and agile synth struck a binary between blissfulness and aggression, dystopia and catharsis, rebelliousness and vulnerability. Ethan Kath and Alice Glass leave behind a discography with more dimension than that of bands who have been around for twice as long, from brash gothic electro-pop to symphonic Nintendo reverie. Their songs have an amazing escapist quality: they do as well in stadiums as in headphones, but the effects are always as unpredictable as they are intriguing, a genre-defying mix of dark ideas drawn in breathtaking relief. Whether you're a newcomer to their sound or a seasoned acolyte, here are ten of their best songs.
Following Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's #1 debut on Billboard last week, and with American Songbook-centric releases by Annie Lennox and She & Him due out before the end of the year, it seems as good a time as any to interrogate the ongoing role of the crossover standards record. The trend has persisted for decades, but has built up particular steam in the last two. Given these albums' clear commercial potential, it's easy to be a bit skeptical of any new rock star emerging to resurrect some pop songs from the first half of last century; one sometimes wonders if these projects are, at this point, artistically bankrupt by default.
Every major music journalism outlet has been following the story of Mark Kozelek's beef with the War on Drugs. The initial complaint—that TWOD drowned out Kozelek during a festival performance—turned into weeks of Kozelek enacting numerous public retaliations against the band, which eventually ended in music writers waiting with bated breath for Kozelek to release a promised single titled "War on Drugs: Suck My Cock".
The song, which premiered this past Monday, is an eight-minute explanation of the original event spiked with Kozelek's rationale as to why TWOD is, in his estimation, a terrible band, with critiques spanning the band's sound, influences—even their appearance.
The response to the track has been overwhelmingly positive, insofar as anything not explicitly negative or critical can be presumed neutral-leaning-positive. So far, it's been referred to as smart publicity, as being "just his sarcastic brand of wit," "admittedly goofy," and "the best (or at least most fun) dis track by a non-rapper since Taylor Swift's 'Dear John'." Vulture, an offshoot of New York Magazine, called it one of the best songs of the week. The one vaguely negative response I've seen to Kozelek's recent behavior was written by a man who seems to be his biggest fan, a journalist who has interviewed him three times, and his major complaint is that Kozelek's behavior will lead to being remembered at year-end for this incident instead of his album Benji, released earlier this year to exceptional critical acclaim. Written before "War on Drugs: Suck My Cock" was released, the author states that he believes the song will be "beautiful and elegant and even funny," before explaining that he thinks the War on Drugs guys would do best to just ignore Kozelek entirely.
It seems this is most people's opinion of the one-sided beef: Kozelek, a notorious curmudgeon, isn't doing anything harmful by harassing these guys. In fact, he's just doing what he's always done—being a grumpy ass who doesn't seem to care what people think of him. These same people insist that ignoring him and letting him continue to do this kind of stuff is the best option moving forward. To speak up about this kind of behavior from artists and performers is to inevitably be met with, "Lighten up, not everything has to be political, it's just for entertainment."
When Mark Kozelek chose to start and carry on a completely one-sided and extremely public feud with a band who genuinely did nothing wrong, who chose not to retaliate and even stated their position as fans of his work, who seem hurt and confused by Kozelek's constant public attacks that persisted for weeks and how said attacks affected their year—that doesn't seem like entertainment. It's important to call it what it is: emotional abuse.
When communities band together to discuss integral elements of abuse, certain traits are highlighted as being indicative that a person is an abuser: "Male-pattern violence is often characterized by motivations of aggression, revenge, competition for dominance, [and] competition with other males." These are socially sanctioned behavior patterns that fit in well with "cultural prescriptions that are cherished in Western society—aggressiveness, male dominance and female subordination… [and] using physical force as a means to enforce that dominance."
Which is why, in all likelihood, Kozelek chose to say "suck my cock" instead of "I think your band is bad." "Suck my cock" is a command heard most often in two places: heterosexual porn, and schoolyard taunts between presumably straight boys. In no way does Mark Kozelek actually want his cock sucked by the members of the War on Drugs. What he wants is to make them feel violated, to make them feel submissive. "Suck my cock" is an order, not a request. "Suck my cock" is, when used by the wrong person, the language of physical force, the language of rape. He wants the world to know that he thinks TWOD sucks cock, implying that sucking cock is a bad thing. Who sucks cock? Not straight dudes like Mark Kozelek, but women and gay men. Which one of these groups is he using as an insult?
His behavior is indicative of a larger evil bred in the dark corners of the music industry, that of the middle-aged, straight white guy slowly fading into obscurity. He may be a musician or a music critic—could be both—who is obviously talented, but he isn't receiving as much attention as he used to. Maybe he sees other people getting the work or praise that he once received—younger people, women, people who don't agree with his worldview or go along with his way of doing things. With less to do now that he's slowly greying into obscurity, he spends his free time taking out his frustrations on soft targets: people who aren't likely to fight back, people who are already marginalized and without the platform or agency to speak out against someone with that amount of privilege and reputation. These men go off in interviews or on social media and take shots at anyone who doesn't fall in line with their worldview, and it gets personal quick. They're staring down the barrel of obsolescence, aimed at them by a culture where the most exciting music and art, as well as critical writing about that music and art, is being created by people they have nothing in common with. It becomes "you can't fire me, I quit" very quickly—they're no longer considered important voices, so they strike out against the people who are gaining traction.
This is why Kozelek's song is a seven-minute ode to how funny and smart he is for saying mean and sexually aggressive things about people he doesn't know: it's OK that you didn't invite him to your party, because he didn't want to fucking go to your stupid party anyway. If it wasn't obvious enough, in comparing the War On Drugs to Mellencamp and Fleetwood Mac, he's actually taking shots at people closer to his own age, as if to insist that he's not like those other old people—that he's still relevant, still cool, that the War On Drugs crowd would be better off listening to his music, that he still in some way fits in with them. He's only imitating what his curmudgeonly peers are doing—fumbling to hold on to whatever relevance they have left in order to feel like they still belong.
These men are devotees of a dangerous patriarchal herd mentality, which they confuse for part of some imaginary intellectual elite. These men can't just be smart on their own; they have to be smart in a superior way that only exists in relation to the ways in which other people are dumb, generic, inauthentic. These are men who never learned that someone else's success doesn't mean their failure. It's sad in the same way that American Beauty is sad—to see these men holding on to their fragile egos and public identities for dear life. And their retaliation is, more often than not, aggressive and menacing.
It is imperative, when we see men exhibiting this manipulative behavior, for us to identify it and name it as abuse. This can be scary: some incidents, such as this one, are so public and obvious that it's easy to start an open dialog about why it's terrible. But when I sit with my friends and hear their stories about times they've been manipulated, intimidated, coerced or outright abused by older men in the music industry, I wonder how anyone ever feels brave enough to come forward.
This problem definitely doesn't get better when publications (including some that have, in the past, exhibited a modicum of moral and journalistic integrity) grant column space and attention to men who publicly engage in harassment and abuse. If we act like a sociopathic bent toward punishing complete strangers is newsworthy, if a song that refers to a female music writer as "some spoiled bitch" is by your estimation a "nice account" or "the diss track of the century," that blatantly reinforces that this sort of behavior is not only acceptable but worthy of praise and attention.
So don't write this off as the ranting of a cantankerous character, and definitely don't take the advice of so many enablers and ignore it. Instead, think critically about what this sort of behavior represents on a larger scale: human behavior doesn't come from nowhere, these traits are learned and reinforced by larger oppressive systems that also systematically disenfranchise people in many other ways. If we desire a more just world—and a better music scene for sure—we would be doing ourselves a favor to take the space we would normally dedicate to men like this and give it over to artists who represent a broader diversity of voices. This goes for music as well as art, literature, politics, any area where middle-aged white men have the most agency to make sure their voices are heard. The more of us there are, the more things will be like the show that pissed Kozelek off in the first place; no matter how cruel their banter gets, at the end of the day, we'll still be louder.

Shake Appeal: Ausmuteants, Manateees, Useless Eaters, Buck Biloxi, Total Heels, Matthew Melton, Sheer Mag
Shake Appeal is a column that highlights new garage and garage-adjacent releases. It's a huge week: Evan Minsker discusses the latest from Ausmuteants, Manateees, Useless Eaters, Buck Biloxi and the Fucks, Total Heels, and Sheer Mag.
Since 2013, the reunited Replacements have played a series of high profile show at various festivals (Riot Fest, Coachella, Austin City Limits) and a few select destinations (last month's triumphant hometown Minneapolis gig and a sold out performance in NYC). Of course, you're going to hear mutterings from purists that this isn't the "real" Replacements. Drummer Chris Mars opted out of the reunion, guitarist Slim Dunlap has been beset by health problems in recent years, and original guitarist Bob Stinson died in 1995, leaving only singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson to carry the torch. On the whole, however, even die-hards have conceded that Westerberg, Stinson and their replacement Replacements do justice to the band's beloved catalog.
But as with all reunions, there's nothing quite like the first time. Fortunately, there are plenty of unofficial recordings from the 1980s that capture the 'Mats at their best—and their worst.
Hell Awaits is a column by Kim Kelly and Andy O'Connor that shines a light on extreme and underground metal. This time, Kim Kelly sizes up new releases from Atomikylä, Owl's Blood, Nihill, and more.
Building off Evan Minsker's recap of last weekend's garage rock mecca Gonerfest, Corban Goble talks with staff writer Evan about the festival, bands like Ausmuteants, Nots and Golden Pelicans, and the state of garage rock as a whole.

In March of this year, I wrote about the increasing difficulties women and marginalized groups were facing due to online surveillance culture, and how artists like EMA were addressing it in their work. Since then, the problems I raised in the context of female musicians have exploded into the mainstream. Nude photos of high profile celebrities were maliciously hacked, traded and leaked (Nicki Minaj was the latest victim), #GamerGate exposed the hideous things that happen to women who speak out in male-dominated spaces, and Facebook casually published a study based on emotional manipulating hundreds of thousands of their users. These and other constantly emerging stories prove how pervasive surveillance has become, and how vulnerable our online identities are. Everyone is at risk, yet no one seems to know what should be done.

A real-life China doll: Fragile Millie born with THIRTY broken bones which fractured every time her mother moved during pregnancy
- Millie Simpson has a rare form of brittle bone disease and doctors said it was unlikely she would survive the birth
- They picked up the condition on pregnancy scans and offered mother Stevie Simpson a termination
- But Mrs Simpson, from Cheshire, refused and now calls Millie her 'little miracle'
This is the fragile 'real life China doll' who survived against the odds despite being born with 30 broken bones.
Millie Simpson, from Cheshire, has such a rare form of brittle bone disease that her bones were broken in the womb every time her mother moved during pregnancy.
Doctors picked up the condition on pregnancy scans.
They could see that she had broken every bone in her body - and told her devastated parents that it was unlikely that she would survive the birth.
Millie Simpson has such a rare form of brittle bone disease that she broke her bones in the womb every time her mother moved during pregnancy
Before she was born doctors could see she had broken every bone in her body - and told her devastated parents that it was unlikely that she would survive the birth
Mrs Simpson was offered a termination - but she refused and told doctors she wanted to give her baby a chance.
Amazingly Millie, who has just celebrated her second birthday, was born alive and was able to breathe, despite her ribs being broken, and she is now going from strength to strength.
But she is so fragile that she still cannot stand on her own feet - because they would break with her weight.
Mrs Simpson said: 'She is like a real life china doll. Her bones are so fragile that they break with just the slightest touch.
'But she is getting stronger each day with the calcium treatment she is having. And she has such a huge personality.
Millie's mother Stevie was offered a termination - but she refused and told doctors she wanted to give her baby a chance
'We are so proud of her. She has defied the doctors to have survived like this - she is such a little fighter.'
Mrs Simpson was 34 weeks pregnant when doctors first noticed a problem with her unborn baby.
They were concerned that she was small and wasn't growing properly, so she was referred to Chester Hospital for a scan.
The scan showed that her arms and legs were small and initially doctors thought Millie was suffering from a form of dwarfism.
Mrs Simpson, 23, a warehouse assistant, who lives in Ellesmere Port with husband Tyler, 27, a chemical plant technician and their other daughter Lottie, also two, said: 'Initially the doctors thought she had dwarfism which was a shock.
'I knew that my pregnancy bump wasn't as big as it had been with my first pregnancy, but I had never imagined anything could be seriously wrong.'
Mrs Simpson was referred to the Liverpool Women's Hospital four days later where another scan revealed the breaks all over her tiny body - in her back, arms and legs.
She was diagnosed with a case of brittle bone disease that was so severe that it had begun in the womb.
Doctors broke the devastating news to her parents that it was life- threatening as it was likely that Millie wouldn't be able to breathe on her own when she was born because of her broken ribs.
Mrs Simpson said: 'We were devastated when we were told what Millie had. It was such a severe case that she had broken every bone in her body.
'The scan showed that some of the breaks had healed, and some of them hadn't. And in some of the bones, there were several breaks at a time.
'It was so upsetting to know that every time she had moved around in my womb, it had caused her bones to break.'
Mrs Simpson was 34 weeks pregnant when doctors first noticed a problem with her unborn baby. They had originally thought it was dwarfism
The family, including mother Stevie, father Tyler, and Millie's big sister Lottie (right), now call her their 'little miracle'
The doctors then offered to carry out a termination as Millie's case was so severe. She had broken ribs, which would mean she would be unable to breathe on her own. But her brave parents refused, determined to give their unborn daughter a chance at life.
Mrs Simpson said: 'There was no way that we were going to end our daughter's life like that. We had to give her a chance.'
Millie was born by caesarian and amazingly despite her broken ribs, she was able to breathe.
Mrs Simpson said: 'She let out a cry when she was born, and it was the most amazing thing. She came out fighting, and we were just so relieved that we had given her that chance to live. There was no way that she was giving up.'
Millie continued to make progress and after three weeks she was allowed home from hospital. She has had to have calcium treatments every few weeks and intensive physiotherapy to strengthen her bones.
She could not sit up until she was eight months old, and since her birth she has broken her arms and legs several times and broken her jaw. She has broken bones just by rolling over, or by someone lightly touching her.
Mrs SImpson said: 'Her bones are extremely fragile and she can't stand up as she can't put her weight on her feet. It's a daunting task for her but we are hoping that she will be able to walk one day.
'Watching her improve each day is so rewarding. She has such a huge personality and we are so proud of her.
'She may be a real life china doll but she has such a fighting spirit. She could have given up with all those broken bones in the womb, but she didn't. She's our little miracle.'

It wasn't until about day 3 that I really noticed color- but I also could tell that my legs were looking a bit orange. It wasn't bad, and I did prefer the slight orange tint to the luminescent white they had become over the winter. Then there the LV internet, where online brokers offer loans against everything from jewellery to fine wine. The most interesting stuff isn on the premises, but in underground vaults containing rare books and paintings, and secure garages that host sleek rows of prestige cars. All of them have been pawned by their owners in exchange for ready cash..
"There are too many chain stores," sniffed some. "Too many overpriced boutiques," scoffed others.

This warehouse-style shop stocks over 1,000 pairs of vintage shoes (the largest number in Britain), belts, bags, and dresses, with prices starting at just £8 (about RM50).

Atlantic was remiss in another way - as are many other websites that publish content.
