---Please mention the house name 'PARADISE FOUND' when inquiring---
New Pool built in 2013! The pool was completed in late March and is 13' wide by 26' long. The depth ranges from 3' to 5' and is fenced in for privacy.
Sit on the wide front porches and gaze at the Atlantic Ocean… let the sea breezes refresh you as you relax on your vacation here at Paradise Found! Super location on a quiet part of the Isle of Palms, yet just a short walk to the Front Beach area of shops, restaurants and great live music.
This home is across the street from the ocean and has unobstructed views. Paradise Found has five bedrooms and five and a half baths, flat screens in every bedroom… one king, three queens and a room with two pyramidal bunks. There's a large open living area with fireplace, dining and kitchens areas that will help entertain the whole family at once. An elevator makes getting from the ample parking area under the house up to the next two floors a snap.
Pool will have a heatable option (for fee).
---Please mention the house name 'PARADISE FOUND' when inquiring---
Well equipped kitchen,all the extras provided.Loved the shower in the garage for cleaning up after the b each . The elevator was a heaven sent for getting up and down with luggage. The grill was an extra luxury. The pool was lovely and much enjoyed by all.
Near the "Front Beach" area of the Isle of Palms, near golf, tennis and all waters sports, only 20 minutes to historic downtown Charleston, close to numerous plantations, museums, excellent restaurants, shops and galleries.

Bebop Spoken There
Roland Hanna: "To me, music is a sort of a help-mate for human beings to get through life with; it's a valve for us to release some of the pressure that builds up." - (Crescendo June 1980).
Rodney Whitaker: "I started playing jazz because a neighbor saw me carrying my upright bass home, and he made me know how important it was that I was part of a legacy – informed me about Paul Chambers and Ron Carter." – (Down Beat November 2014).

Jam Session @ Hoochie Thursday November 29.
(Review by Lance).
The quartet kicked things off with, I think, Straight No Chaser. It was Pete's birthday and he was on the money as well as the coffee! Mark, Paul and Jeff stayed with him all the way and this was one helluva opener. I didn't recognise the next one although I should have done likewise the Latin number that followed. Skylark and Beautiful Love finished the set off with panache and solos all round.Come the second half and the subs jump off the bench.
James Harrison takes the piano seat, Ian Simpson plugs into Mark's guitar amp and Joe Fowler - the ex Budvivar trombonist - is the horn player.
Well You Needn't had Simpson handling the melody before Joe had a blustering solo - Tailgate Bebop just about summed it up. Harrison rubber stamped his credentials as one of the front runners of the next generation of jazz musicians during the second set opener that said, "The party's just begun."
The Frim Fram Sauce was served up to Cordon Blue standard by Belinda Voshtina - a voice to remember (pictured)..
Debra Milne sang a song about Temptation (not the old standard) before Lindsay Hannon took over. Lindsay was in spectacular form tonight. My Funny Valentine done with a triplet feel to it injected a new lease of life into the old warhorse. Mike Papapavlou was now on guitar and the bluesy number Lindsay finished off with highlighted his playing.
A second interval and they were queuing up to sing or play the final set but the number 27 was coming down the line, the number 27 right on time.
Happy birthday Pete - you had a good one!
PS: Don't forget the Cool Collective on Saturday night and Kate Peters' Sextet next Thursday.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond.

Associated Press
NEWPORT CITY, Vt. — A man charged with driving a tractor over seven police vehicles and crushing them has been released from a Vermont correctional facility.
The Newport Daily Express newspaper reports Roger Pion (PEE'-on) left the Northern State Correctional Facility on Thursday with a smile on his face.
Pion is accused of destroying vehicles parked outside the Orleans County Sheriff's Department in Derby with his dad's tractor on Aug. 2 and then driving it toward downtown Newport before police stopped him. Authorities say he had been angry over a previous arrest for marijuana possession.
Pion received support from people worldwide after his arrest. Some contributed money to help cover his $50,000 bail. But after making bail he remained in prison over an earlier case.
He thanked his supporters Thursday. He says he has no regrets.
The sheriff's department is rebuilding its fleet.

Metal mag Decibel has published their Top 40 Albums of 2014 list in their newest issue, which you can check out in more detail if you're a subscriber. And thanks to Stereogum who transcribed it, you can also browse the full thing below. Though Decibel have tended to lean towards veterans for their top spot, a much newer band takes the #1 album this year. And if you're into modern metal, their choice is pretty hard to argue. Those big veteran comeback albums show up soon after though, with At the Gates taking #2 and Godflesh coming in at #5. There's plenty more on there too -- see for yourself below.
At the Gates, related band Vallenfyre (#8 on this list), and 2012 winners Converge will head out on the 2015 Decibel tour next year. As discussed, that hits NYC on April 12 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that one are still available.

photos by Tim Griffin
Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest wrapped up this past weekend with a variety of killer music across punk, metal, hip hop, indie, electronic and plenty of the in-between, plus comedy, wrestling, BMX competitions and more. The lineup spanned legends like Judas Priest, Gorilla Biscuits and Nas through great newer artists like Angel Olsen, Deafheaven and Courtney Barnett. We've already written plenty about it -- check out our reviews of day 1, day 2 and day 3 -- as well as posted pictures of Judas Priest, Gorilla Biscuits and Mineral.
Now we've got pics of the whole three days on BV Austin. Check out day 1 HERE, day 2 HERE and day 3 HERE.
Fun Fun Fun Fest 2014 begins (Freddie Gibbs included), Residual Kid signed to Sire, IO presents Pallbearer
Our favorite annual Austin music festival Fun Fun Fun Fest begins tonight/Thursday at various venues around Austin and continues for three days straight at Auditorium Shores, and each night at more local venues. The latter category is the 'Nites' when many bands play a 2nd FFF-affiliated show while in town for the fest.
BrooklynVegan is proud to present one of the Nites, and that is Dinosaur Jr., Meat Puppets and Cass McCombs at ACL Live Saturday night.
Our metal blog Invisible Oranges presents Pallbearer, local rippers Eagle Claw, Pallbearer's blackened tourmates Vattnet Viskar and JR Robinson's metal collective Wrekmeister Harmonies at Elysium Saturday night.
Locals Residual Kid, who were just in NYC for CMJ, open for the Blood Brothers at one of the Nite shows, and now count Sire/Warner as their label home.
The Blood Brothers are one of the many bands featured in our 'emo revival guide to Fun Fun Fun'.
Freddie Gibbs, despite being involved in a shooting in NYC, will be performing at Fun Fun Fun with Madlib.
Death Grips will not.

The Heavy Lowdown: Metallica, Bloodbath, Opeth, King Diamond, Pallbearer, 1349, weekend shows & more
by Ian Chainey
Metallica are going to get some classics back out on wax. On September 16, Blackened Recordings (I see what you did there) will release four vinyl represses. So let's play, ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS: Kill 'Em All. Yes. Ride The Lightning. Yes. ...And Justice For All. Yes. Death Magnetic. Ah. The band will also drop a slimmed down version of Live Shit: Binge & Purge on the same day.
Also happening next week? Bloodbath will announce their new singer. I haven't seen people this anxious to find out the origin and whereabouts of a guttural since my cat vomited this morning. Bloodbath's next one, Grand Morbid Funeral, is out November 17 through Peaceville. The band will also be playing Maryland Deathfest 2015.
King Diamond has an opener for his North American tour starting in October. It's the occult rockers Jess and the Ancient Ones, a band featuring one of the weirder connections in metal with a link to cult-adored death metallers Demilich (who are also playing Maryland Deathfest 2015). Maybe Jess will finally cover "The Planet That Once Used to Absorb Flesh in Order to Achieve Divinity and Immortality (Suffocated to the Flesh That It Desired...)." The King Diamond tour plays a sold out New York's Best Buy Theater on October 14. Watch a few King Diamond videos below because Friday.
Unfortunately, Belphegor won't be touring the US. Singer/guitarist Helmuth Lehner has scrapped the package that included Rotting Christ, Beheaded, and Svart Crown to be with his mother during her final days. While the bill will be a little slimmer, Dead Congregation and Immortal Bird will still play their NYC show on October 20 date at NYC's Saint Vitus.
Finally, Pallbearer have a heck of a tour brewing. . . that's only hitting the West Coast in December. They'll be joined by Sólstafir and Mortals for the Holy Crap Take My Money Tour* (*not the official name. . . yet). All of the dates are below. Oh well, NYC fans, you'll have to make due with back-to-back shows at Saint Vitus on October 27 and 28 with Tombs and Vattnet Viskar. *weeps* - Midwest.
Myrkur EP
Now that you're, ahem, fully briefed, let's recap all of the A/V transmissions.
Full releases first: Iron Reagan and Myrkur are both streaming their new albums on Pitchfork Advance. Iron Reagan's crossover attack is called The Tryranny of Will and will be out on September 16 via Relapse (preorder). We also recently interviewed singer Tony Foresta on Invisible Oranges. Solo black metal act Myrkur's self-titled EP will also be out on September 16 through Relapse (preorder).
For single tracks and videos, dad/son metal bonding band Vomit Fist (holy hell, Vomit Fist) debuted "Under The Rind." Baseball grinders Puig Destroyer spoke the truth with "No One Cares About Your Fantasy Team" from Puig Destroyer (September 30, No Sleep - preorder). Opeth cut another headtrip for a Pale Communion track, this being "Moon Above, Sun Below." Tech-metallers Decapitated are showing off the first four songs from Blood Mantra (September 30, Nuclear Blast - preorder). Old school death metallers Necrophagia let another WhiteWorm Cathedral creepy-crawler eat through the internet (October 28, Season of Mist - preorder).
MORE: Busy blasters 1349 brought their Massive Cauldron Of Chaos to another boil (September 30, Season of Mist - preorder). Corrosion of Conformity brewed up some visuals for "On Your Way." They'll be hitting the road with GWAR and Decapitated soon. Krieg also cut together a flick for "Ruin Our Lives." And, finally, Pyrrhon -- fronted by a familiar fellow with a name rhyming with 'Doug' (I'm bad at this) -- have a new video out "Sleeper Agent" directed by IO guest contributor David Hall. So I guess that makes it, wait for it, VISIBLE ORANGES. Oh cool, I've been fired. You can check out all the goods below.
Got it? Good. To shows we go:
TODAY (FRIDAY, 9/12): Thrashers Power Trip plays a BrooklynVegan Presents Red Bull Sound Select show with White Lung and Sick Feeling at Palisades ($3, with RSVP). If you want to don the corpsepaint and become super pussy, Black Witchery, Nexul, Teloch Vovin, Occultation, and Lord Almighty are at Saint Vitus (tickets).
SATURDAY (9/13): You can get a taste of the metallic at Basilica Sound Scape 2014: Day Two with Deafheaven and heavier-than-most-heavy-things Swans (sold out).
SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDAY (9/14): Speaking of heavy things, sludge stars Crowbar, Revocation, Havok, Fit for an Autopsy, and Armed for Apocalypse hit the Gramercy Theatre (tickets). And if you missed them Saturday, Deafheaven play Music Hall of Williamsburg (tickets).
Looking for late adds and dates ahead? NYC Metal Show Calendar has got you covered.
Let's talk IO: As always, we tracked the week's new releases with, uh, Upcoming Metal Releases. We showed off new albums from Lago and Ingurgitating Oblivion. We reviewed Earth, Muscle and Marrow, and Ævangelist. We got our talk on with Iron Reagan's Tony Foresta, Nightbringer's Naas Alcameth, and Cannibal Corpse's Paul Mazurkiewicz. Finally, our buds in Immortal Bird are going on tour. Don't yell "Freebird" at them. Or hold up a boombox a la Say Anything that's playing "Surfing Bird." Or. . . do. Live your life, bro.
Alright, consider the decks cleared. What did we miss? What are your plans? Let us know and catch all of the dates, reams of streams, and other noted details below.

Ecstatic Vision signed to Relapse, playing shows, opening for Pallbearer & Tombs in NYC (dates, demo stream, live video)
by Ian Chainey
Philadelphia's Ecstatic Vision have signed to Relapse Records and will release their debut near the beginning of 2015. With that, let's get the ex-band stuff out of the way: Doug Sabolick (guitars/vocals) and Jordan Crouse (drums) both played with metalcore groovers A Life Once Lost. However, on the surface, Ecstatic Vision are hardly a continuation of that band's subtly chameleonic sound. Instead, the new quartet filled out by bassist Michael Field Connor and percussionist Muffinman trip into a void swirling with the fuzzy psych of the early '70s work of bands like Amon Düül and Agitation Free, just if they were flavored with African rhythms. Granted, that reads like a stretch -- as if a random purchase of African Scream Contest was the catalyst for a shift away from metal -- but it grows on you, mainly by using the same trance-like effect of A Life Once Lost's underappreciated last album with a better-suited set of timbres. Says Sabolick of their status and sound:
We are currently recording our debut album at various studios around Philly. The album is a great mix of trance inducing primitive African tribal meets heavy psych a la Hawkwind. We are stoked to be working hand in hand with Relapse to bring this unique album to fruition and bring our brand of heavy psych to the masses.You can hear a track from the band's 2013 demo and watch a live video below.
In addition to the signing and the new album, Ecstatic Vision also have a number of live dates set up, including opening for Pallbearer, Tombs and Vattnet Viskar on October 28 at NYC's Saint Vitus, the second of two shows there on their tour. That show is now sold out.
All Ecstatic Vision dates are listed, with the 2013 demo and live video, below...

Pallbearer streaming new LP, add 2nd Saint Vitus show to tour with Tombs and Vattnet Viskar (updated dates)
by Ian Chainey
Pallbearer at Europa in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Foundations of Burden, the highly anticipated sophomore LP from doomers Pallbearer hit Pitchfork Advance this week. The six-track, nearly 55 minute album continues on in the spirit of Sorrow and Extinction with melancholic leads, redwood-thick riffs, and sorrowful singing. If there's a shift, it's slightly more progressive songwriting that gives their epics a knottier quality. The album will be out via Profound Lore Records on August 19 and it's available for preorder now.
In addition to their album and their Euro tour with YOB, they have a previously discussed stateside run with Tombs and Vattnet Viskar which was recently expanded. After their now-sold-out show happenning at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus on October 27, they'll hit the same venue again on October 28. Tickets for that show go on sale Tuesday (8/12) at noon.
Updated dates are listed below...

Pallbearer at Europa in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
In what looks to be the metal press darling tour of the fall, Pallbearer, Tombs and Vattnet Viskar are teaming up for a North American run that kicks off on October 17 in Nashville. The tour hits New York on October 27 at Saint Vitus--tickets go on sale on Friday (7/11) at noon. If you want to see Pallbearer and your city isn't on this list, don't despair--Pallbearer is finalizing the details of a second tour leg that will take place in places "West of Little Rock." It's unclear if that tour will include Tombs and Vattnet Viskar. As part of their currently planned run, Pallbearer (just PB) will also be playing Fun Fun Fun Fest. All announced dates are listed below.
After a tape demo, Pallbearer stormed onto the metal scene with 2012's massive and great Sorrow and Extinction, a release that, for a lot of people, (re)kindled an interest in doom. The band's followup, Foundations Of Burden, is out on August 19 on Profound Lore Records. You can stream a track at NPR.
Brooklyn's Tombs put out the excellent Savage Gold a few weeks back (stream a track, read an interview and review at Invisible Oranges) and, if past experience is to judge, will be great live. They'll be in NYC way before the tour with Pallbearer to celebrate the new LP with a release show at Saint Vitus (7/25) with Pyrhhon, Statiqbloom and Passage Between. Tickets for that show are still available. Their tour also hits Richmond's Fall Line Fest.
As mentioned, New Hampshire black metal band Vattnet Viskar, who have toured regularly since 2013's Sky Swallower, will also be in NYC before the Pallbearer tour on their tour with the awesome Silver Snakes. That hits NYC on 7/21 at the Acheron with No Way and Twin Strike (tickets).
Pallbearer will be on a previously discussed tour in Europe with the mighty doom band Yob before their tour with Tombs and Vattnet Viskar. All dates are listed below...

Pallbearer at Europa in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Sorrowful doomers Pallbearer are streaming a new track on NPR. This one is called "The Ghost I Used To Be." The first released song from the forthcoming Foundations Of Burden (August 19, Profound Lore Records) charges out the gate with weighty strums. Soon, singer/guitarist Brett Campbell gives the track a blue tint, flexing his throat with Patrick Walker-esque downtrodden emotion. Then, you're off on a trip in the progressive sense as Pallbearer stretches out for 10 Epicus minutes.
Pallbearer -- who recently played Northside, though their maybe-alter ego Goat Pope couldn't make an appearance -- is currently wrapping up a tour with Deafheaven and Wreck and Reference. In September, they'll embark on a European run of dates with YOB, who also have a new album on the way called Clearing The Path To Ascend (September 2, Neurot Recordings). In November, Pallbearer will appear at Fun Fun Fun Fest.
All dates are listed, with a live video of Pallbearer at their Northside show, below...

Vilkacis at Europa - 6/12/14 (photo via Invisible Oranges Instagram)
Pitchfork's Northside metal show with Pallbearer, Hull, Planning for Burial, Yellow Eyes and Vilkacis was last night, and I stopped by to check out Vilkacis's set, the one-man band's first and only since a live debut (with a live lineup) at "a basement show about a year ago," according to Michael Rekevics, the guy behind Vilkacis. You may know Rekevics from one of his other projects, among them Fell Voices, Vorde and Ruin Lust. He's usually behind the drums, as he is in Fell Voices, and one thing that the bands he's a part of have in common is relentless, furious drumming. That was on display last night as the four piece tore through a roughly twenty minute set, full of big, anthemic melodies buried behind a wall of driving guitar, bass and drums. Intensity was on high--Rekevics screamed sans mic for a good bit of a set, a bass string was popped loose by the middle of song two, and it didn't stop until it was abruptly over, after "Blood Dream in the Fever of War" wrapped up, when the drummer kicked over part of his kit and the four unceremoniously exited the stage leaving the rest of us to come back down to reality. Catch Vilkacis again at Martyrdoom, when the band plays on a stacked Tuesday lineup with Mournful Congregation, Lycus, Lord Mantis and Evoken. That will be one hell of a show.
The show ran late, and I'm told Pallbearer didn't take the stage until nearly 1AM. An aftershow was planned at The Acheron with Savagist, Yellow Eyes and "Goat Pope," a band that according the Acheron "cannot possibly play at the same time" as Pallbearer. That performance was canceled due to the late hour, and while Yellow Eyes and Savagist performed, we'll have to wait for another day for some more info on the infamous and mysterious "Goat Pope."
For more metal at Northside Fest, Watain are playing Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Sunday (6/15) with T.O.M.B. and Kosmodemonic. Tickets for that show are still available and we're also giving away a few pairs.
"Goat Pope" (?) playing Pallbearer aftershow at Acheron; Fell Voices side project Vilkacis released an LP

We've already mentioned Pitchfork's Northside metal show featuring Pallbearer, Hull, Planning for Burial, Yellow Eyes and Vilkacis, but we haven't given much play to Vilkacis around these parts. The band is a one-man black metal project from Mike Rekevics, drummer of the atmospheric black metal band Fell Voices (and Vorde, and Ruin Lust), and, like Fell Voices, Vilkacis delivers long, hypnotic black metal. Vilkacis is decidedly more lo-fi and may hit a bit harder, though, and if you give "Blood Dream in the Fever of War" off of Vilkacis' debut The Fever of War a listen below, you'll hear that the Vilkacis's material is also catchier than it's better known cousin, something closer to anthemic. If you like what you hear, The Fever of War is out now on vinyl on Psychic Violence.
There's also an aftershow for tonight's Pallbearer show at Acheron at 11 PM which features "PsychoBlackMetal warlords" Goat Pope, plus Yellow Eyes and Savagist. Unlike Special Guest, we can not actually find evidence of a real band called Goat Pope. So who exactly are they? We're not sure, but Acheron says, "You can ABSOLUTELY catch both Pallbearer at Europa and then catch Goat Pope at the Acheron. They cannot possibly play at the same time." Admission is $10 or $8 with a stub from the Europa show.
Vilkacis stream below...

Pallbearer at Europa in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Two colossal crushers have new things on the way. First up is Little Rock's Pallbearer, a classic doomer not afraid to evoke emotions. They recently announced a tour with Deafheaven and Wreck and Reference. Now we get the details on the upcoming album. It's titled Foundations Of Burden and the cover art by Anitmetalphysical (Sean Reynolds Williams) is a gorgeous trip, complete with a possible nod to Rush's Hemispheres. That or something out of a Gary Gygax dream. Nice work on the natural 20 creativity roll, Sean. The record will be available via Profound Lore on August 19. Fun fact: Pallbearer's debut, Sorrow and Extinction, is the second best selling Profound Lore title. Owner/operator Chris Bruni passed along that nugget and more when Invisible Oranges picked his brain in honor of PFL's 10th anniversary.
The other hefty full-length on the horizon is Tombs' Savage Gold. The bleak beast is now streaming in full at Pitchfork and it's as expansive as expected. I recently had a chance to chat with Mike Hill, Tombs' frontman, and he's got an interesting perspective when it comes to music:
"I don't like to blame other people for my failures. If I fuck up, it's my own fault. If something goes wrong, I have to analyze what decisions I've made to put me in that consciousness. A number of years ago I had someone in my life that was always looking outward with respects to the hardships he was experiencing. It was always someone else's fault, never his. I feel like we are all responsible for our own destinies."You can check out the full interview on IO. You can grab Savage Gold on Tuesday (6/10) through Relapse (preorder).
Find the cover art and tracklisting for Foundations of Burden below.

Pallbearer playing Pitchfork Northside show w/ Planning for Burial & more during tour w/ Deafheaven (dates & lineup)
Pallbearer at Europa in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Arkansas doomsters Pallbearer, whose 2012 debut album Sorrow and Extinction was one of the buzziest metal albums of that year, are about to hit the road with another buzzy metal band, Deafheaven, with Wreck & Reference along for the ride too. That tour doesn't hit NYC but Deafheaven play Governor's Ball and Pallbearer will play a Northside Festival show on June 12 at Europa, presented by Pitchfork's Show No Mercy & Hell Awaits. Also on the bill is Hull, Planning for Burial, Yellow Eyes and Vilkacis. Tickets are on sale now or you can also try to get in using your Northside badge. All Pallbearer dates are listed below.
Pitchfork is also presenting two Northside shows at Saint Vitus which include Perfect Pussy, Hop Along, Frankie Cosmos, Marissa Nadler, Pharmakon and more.
Meanwhile, that Northside show is one of three chances to catch Planning for Burial, whose excellent new album can be streamed now, in NYC. He also plays the Metal Cats release party at Union Pool on Saturday (5/17) and his tour hits Grand Victory on July 7 (tickets).
Speaking of Hull, the band play Brooklyn's Saint Vitus on Saturday (5/17) with Bloody Hammers. The show, dubbed "Liz & Luis: The Unholy Fucking Union," is actually an afterparty for a wedding but is open to the public. If you go, please give the happy couple your congratulations. Tickets are on sale.
Updated Planning for Burial dates are also listed, with the list of Pallbearer dates, below...

Eyehategod / Down / GWAR at the Housecore Horror Fest (more by Trent Maxwell)
New Orleans sludge masters Eyehategod announced yesterday that Aaron Hill of New Orleans bands Missing Monuments and Mountain of Wizard will be the drummer for Eyehategod going forward, including a date at Saint Vitus on November 14 with Mutilation Rites and The Communion (tickets). The question of a permanent drummer has been in the air since the death of original Eyehategod drummer Joey LaCaze in August. Dale Crover of Melvins filled in this past weekend during Eyehategod's Joey Lacaze tribute set at the Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin. Check out Eyehategod's scheduled tour dates below, and look for additional dates in the coming weeks.
The four-day Housecore Fest (10/24 - 10/27) was hosted by Phil Anselmo and featured a stacked line-up, including Melvins, Gwar, Pallbearer, Goblin (performing their score to Suspira in full), Down and many more. You can check out pics from day 2 and days 3 & 4 over on BV Austin. IO sent guest writer David Hall down to the fest, and you can check out his two part review and additional photos on Invisible Oranges.

PICS & video: BV Saturday @ Baby's All Right (part 2) -- Joanna Gruesome, Pallbearer, Hop Along, Torres, Jacco Gardner, more
photos by Amanda Hatfield
Torres / Pallbearer / Joanna Gruesome
After a hot set by Yuck (who played after Courtney Barnett, Pity Sex and more), things cooled down during King Dude's set, literally, as the venue succesfully tested out their air conditioning for the first time. Nothing were then followed by the heaviest band of the day: doom traditionalists Pallbearer, we announced as our special guest just hours earlier. They played with Saint Vitus at Europa the night before.
Then things eased their way back in a lighter direction, with alt-folk singer Torres -- playing as a duo rather than a four-piece -- who continues to get grungier and more intense each time. We were worried that the transition from the metal of Pallbearer to Torres would be a disaster, but it was just the opposite and both bands played to a full room, even if the faces were not all the same.
Then came one of the most fun sets of the day (if we do say so ourselves) from Hop Along, who had fans packing in towards the front of the venue and singing along for much of their set. Hop Along gave the love right back and didn't hide their excitement that they were getting to open for Superchunk frontman Mac McCaughan and Mary Timony's new band Ex Hex. More about both of those special sets HERE.
After Ex Hex, the late-night portion of the show (we were only initially going until 10 PM) began with a set from Amsterdam's Jacco Gardner, who like Spires ten hours earlier, sound a lot like late '60s psych/baroque pop. Then came NYC's good lookin' rockers Drowners, followed by another big winner of this year's CMJ, Joanna Gruesome. The UK band only recently formed, banged out a debut LP mixing twee pop and punk called Weird Sister, and seriously honed their live show, which was one not to miss. A lot of folks who had clearly been at Arcade Fire earlier in the night (a lot of tuxes, a lot of animal masks) made it over for JG's set. The band didn't let amp issues or it being their last of a zillion CMJ shows slow them down, and their set ended with three of the five members in the crowd.
Finally, our epic-length party ended on a highly eccentric note, with a post-1AM set from UK duo Public Service Broadcasting who mix krauty dancerock with samples from '70s and '80s educational films. While they were lacking the projections they normally play with, they were still quite entertaining -- they addressed the crowd purely with dialogue samples -- and their tight set featured the only banjo of the night. After it all, somewhow we we were still standing.
Thanks again to Sailor Jerry and to Raw Revolution for supplying the free organic live food bars that scattered around the venue. Thanks to Vinny's Music, who provided backline equipment for the artists, to Baby's All Right for being so accomodating and for getting the doors open on time, to all the bands who played and to everyone that stopped by.
We already posted some videos from the show, and pictures of Nothing, as well as Ex Hex and Mac. Pictures and recap from the first half of this show are HERE. The rest is below...

PICS & video: BV Saturday @ Baby's All Right (part 1) -- Yuck, Courtney Barnett, Pity Sex, King Dude, Spires & more
photos by Amanda Hatfield
Courtney Barnett / Pity Sex / Yuck
Thursday morning we still didn't even know if new Williamsburg venue Baby's All Right would be allowed to open. One day later, we hosted what ended up being the venue's first show ever for six hours straight on Friday afternoon. We then returned the next morning for an all-day Saturday CMJ party that went from noon til just after 2 AM. Pictures, videos and a recap of that 14 hour 10/19 BrooklynVegan show are in this post.
We kicked things Saturday off with local band Spires, who may be a newish band from Brooklyn but sound more like one from the UK in the late '60s, followed by the shoegazey emo of Pity Sex, who balanced whispered vocals and atmospheric guitars on either side of the stage with their driving rhythm section in the middle. Before their set, at least one member of Pity Sex got some new art on his body in our pop up Three Kings Tattoo shop courtesy of Sailor Jerry who also supplied the free rum we started serving right at noon.
Next up was Australian singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett, one of the big winners of this year's CMJ, who just released The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas, a collection of witty lyrics and Summer of Love psych pop. The songs are excellent, and she's got a nice stage presence with a funny attitude and some killer guitar freakouts. She offered a free CD to anyone who got a tattoo of her name.
After Courtney was Yuck, who were playing their first U.S. shows since singer Daniel Blumberg left the band. He wasn't really missed, as the rest of the band traded off vocals on the first album's songs and their new material seemed to go over equally well. (They also gave us their cover of New Order's "Age of Consent.) It was a packed -- and sweaty -- house with a very enthusiastic crowd. Great set.
Then we changed gears for goth/country singer King Dude (playing as a trio), who were a bit more rockin' than they are on record, which made for a good transition into Nothing, who have been tagged as shoegaze, are signed to a metal label but really just came off as a heavy rock band not tied to any specific subgenre (catch them, complete with a new tattoo they also got at the show, at 285 Kent on 10/29).

Saint Vitus at Europa - 10/18/13
Saint Vitus, Pallbearer and The Hookers brought their tour to NYC last Friday (10/18) for a show at Europa, which also included local band Thinning the Herd. On an ordinary week, such a lineup would've made for a considerable event in the metal world, but last week was no ordinary week. The show conflicted with other CMJ metal shows, including our own. Still, NYC's inexhaustible supply of bodies ensured that people made it out. Pictures from the show are in this post, and there's more at Invisible Oranges.
The next day, Pallbearer played another set at our party at Baby's All Right. Pictures from that show are coming soon.

new guy is second from left
Pig Destroyer has been a band since 1997. That's a long time; some of you reading this were probably born that year. During that 16-year run, various members have come and gone -- the band has had four drummers (if you count Municipal Waste/Burnt By the Sun drummer Dave Witte's brief stint) and three samples/electronics folk, but never once have Pig Destroyer included a bassist in their ranks.
Until now, anyway. In an interview with Terrorizer, guitarist Scott Hull has announced that John Jarvis (drummer Adam Jarvis's cousin) will be joining the band on the four-string. Here's Hull's explanation for the change:
"After so many years of remaining bass-less, why did you decide to welcome a bassist into the fold now?This decision was arguably overdue; Pig Destroyer have had a tough time replicating the thickness of their recorded material when they play out in the past, and a bass presence will make a huge difference for them. The Jarvises also play together in the awesome grind/death/hardcore outfit Fulgora, who hopefully won't throw in the towel now that both guys are working on Pig Destroyer.
Scott Hull: Well, the biggest reason we DIDN'T have a bass player, or another guitarist, for so many years was that we just didn't want the added complication of someone having to learn lines that I'd already written. Additionally, we just didn't want to have another person in the band because it adds complexity; travel arrangements for shows, space in a van/bus. . .etc etc. As the years progressed, we just thought "well we've gone this far without anyone else, why bother introducing a new headache now?" But honestly, I've been wanting to broaden the scope of our music for quite some time. It would be very difficult, for instance, to really do some Jesus Lizard-y type of material without a bass player, but we want to bring that sound into our material somewhat as well as some other styles that would really require a bassist, so that really made us think about it seriously. Luckily, the bass player we chose is a really good fit technically and personality-wise. He gets where we are at and knows we are picky about what we do and when, so he wont get impatient that we aren't touring 200 days out of the year.
Does this mean you'll be retroactively adding bass lines to your old classics when playing live?
Scott Hull: Yep, we've been doing that. And for the most part, it's added some real depth to the tracks, which is exciting. In some cases, like for the songs 'Terrifyer' and 'Starbelly', it's really changed them altogether. It's very cool. I feel like we kinda reinvigorated ourselves when Adam came into the band, and we're kinda doing it again with John. Change is good.
Pig Destroyer will debut their new lineup at Phil Anselmo's Housecore Horror Film Fest, which starts on Friday (10/25) and runs until Sunday (10/27). Housecore has quietly become one of the best American metal festivals of the year, and it'll host a couple of other significant firsts: Goblin playing their Suspiria live with the film, and Dale Crover (of Melvins) drumming for Eyehategod. You can still buy walk-up tix for the fest or venue-limited badges; check out the full lineup of bands below.

Pallbearer at MDF 2013 (more by Fred Pessaro)
Earlier today, we announced that our blowout free CMJ party at Baby's All Right on Saturday (10/19) has been extended until 2am, but we're not done yet. It's not BV without a metal contingent, so we're pleased to announce that Pallbearer (who played with Saint Vitus the band tonight at Europa) will be filling the 5 PM slot at Saturday's festivities. The run from King Dude through Nothing and into Pallbearer should be ridiculous, and then you can keep partying for an additional EIGHT HOURS. Free drinks courtesy of Sailor Jerry.

Andrew of Castevet at Lit Lounge, 2010 (more by Samantha Marble)
Extreme sport junkie, Music Academy presenter, sponsor of cool Sound Select shows, magazine publisher and beverage maker Red Bull has put together a list of the 30 best guitarists under 30. In the two-part rundown, the list covers some territory, lumping Pallbearer's Brett Campbell, Liturgy's Hunter Hunt Hendrix, Mac Demarco, Danielle Haim, Ben Greenberg of The Men, Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz, Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females and Fun guitarist and Lena Dunham-dater Jack Antonoff onto the list. You can check out the whole list below.
Music of the heavier persuasion was decently represented, and Castevet's Andrew Hock made the cut. You can catch him in action with Castevet at an Invisible Oranges sponsored show on October 25 at Union Pool with Churchburn, Oneirogen and Vorde. Also on the list, as a pair, are Inter Arma riff monsters Trey Dalton and Steven Russell. Inter Arma will be back in NYC soon to play Saint Vitus on October 30 with Black Tusk, Descender and No Way.
Ty Segall, who also made the list, will be here next weekend (but on drums) with his band Fuzz, playing a sold out show at Mercury Lounge on 10/12 with CCR Headcleaner. (There is also a show with "Buzz" and "DDT Shampoo" at Death by Audio on 10/13).
You can catch The Men at MHOW in November.
Speedy Ortiz, among others, will be here for CMJ.
Who'd they leave off the list? Check out the full list of Red Bull's 30 under 30 below...

On paper, when England and Sri Lanka met for the first time in England at Lord's in the late summer of 1984, there should have only been one winner ... but Sri Lanka had other ideas

Matches: England v Sri Lanka at Lord's
On paper, when England and Sri Lanka met for the first time in England at Lord's in the late summer of 1984, there should have only been one winner.
Since their first Test two-and-a-half years earlier, Sri Lanka had lost eight and drawn three of the 11 games they had played, and had been well beaten in the only two to take place outside the subcontinent. In their only previous meeting with England - their Test debut in February 1982 - they had lost after a good first innings.
The two sides' build-up to the match could not have been different. Sri Lanka arrived a month beforehand and had acclimatised with a series of six three-day county games. They had drawn four and lost two of them - a sole win came in a one-day less-than-intense game against the Duchess of Norfolk's XI - and although their batsmen had shown form, their bowlers lacked the control or experience to bowl opponents out, something they only managed once in seven games.
England, meanwhile, were punch-drunk after being relentlessly and clinically dissected by West Indies, losing every Test of their five-match series at a time such a drubbing was unheard of. By the end of the decade it was a depressingly familiar scoreline for English supporters.
England took the unusual step of naming the starting XI on the Sunday before the match, rather than expected 12 or 13-man squad. And it was the same side which had just been thrashed by West Indies at The Oval. "It was more of a reward for services rendered in a difficult cause," noted John Woodcock in the Times. There was an air of arrogance about the selectors' attitude, almost treating the Test as something less than taxing at the end of a gruelling summer.
On the morning of the Test, Woodcock predicted "an agreeable if one-sided match". His views reflected the consensus among the press and public. Sri Lanka had injury issues to add to their problems, and had doubts about Ranjan Mudugalle who had been set on by drunks on an evening out in Canterbury.
Jim Fairbrother, the groundsman at Lord's in his last Test before retirement, had produced a pitch with little pace and gentle bounce. Cynics suggested he had done so under orders to try to make the match last as long as possible.
David Gower won the toss and stuck Sri Lanka in, looking to exploit any moisture left in the pitch, humidity in the air, as well as the nervousness of the visitors on their first visit to Lord's. An hour in, and all seemed to be going to plan as Sri Lanka lost two wickets.
There was also disruption caused by the first of two pitch invasions by Tamil demonstrators, and opener Sid Wettimuny admitted that rather than upset his concentration, the stoppages helped, allowing him time to chat with the England players as the protestors were escorted or dragged off. While the scenes appeared irritating more than threatening, what was not widely known was that the police had been warned in advance that some spectators might have brought knives into the ground with them.
Those breaks were just about all that stopped Wettimuny. By the close of the first day he had reached 116 not out and Sri Lanka were 226 for 3, with the chubby Arjuna Ranatunga also well set on 54.
Gower was given a hard time by the media who demanded to know why he had not batted. Officially he replied it had been a decision taken after consulting senior players, but years later he admitted otherwise. "When we got to the ground, Peter May, chairman of selectors, had an idea it might be a swinging day," he said. "As captain I had the right to overrule Peter May but in a summer where we'd been beaten into submission my confidence in my own abilities was a little low."
Wettimuny, meanwhile, said he had head pains caused by wearing a helmet all day (something not many established batsmen were used to at the time) and he had also been increasingly bothered by cramp. He also revealed he had taken his bat to the Lord's shop before the start for running repairs.
Gower did have some cause for celebration as at the close he announced to his England team-mates he had got engaged. His fiancée, Vicki Stewart, told the Daily Express: "I don't much like sitting around for five hours watching cricket … but it's great to stretch out on a sunny day and get a tan."
By the next morning Wettimuny had recovered, driving the second ball of the day from Ian Botham for four, and thereafter ploughing on relentlessly in front of another disappointingly small crowd. Such was his off-side dominance that at one stage Botham employed a 7-2 field, but to no effect.
Ranatunga fell for 82 shortly after an early lunch caused by drizzle, but it was to be England's only wicket of a gloomy day. By the close Wettimuny was 187 not out and Duleep Mendis had made exactly a hundred off 112 balls. To loud cheers from spectators, the batsmen had declined offers of light from the umpires. They gave the impression they believed they might be able to win, something backed by the deflated appearance of the England side.
Ian Botham was having a bad summer with bat and ball. He decided to try to bounce Mendis out but lacked the pace and was hooked three times into the Mound Stand for six. Each time his response was to demand more leg-side fielders and to try again. In the end Gower intervened to spare him. For the third time in a Lord's Test that season, Botham had conceded more than a hundred runs. His humiliation was completed when the Sri Lankan supporters started chanting "we want Botham".
It took almost an hour of the third day - in which he had added three to his overnight score - for England to break through and finally remove Wettimuny, who had batted for 18 minutes short of 11 hours.
"I still remember Mohsin Khan called me on the dressing-room phone at every break," he told ESPNcricinfo. "He was playing in the leagues then. First before the match, saying, 'Look, I got a double-hundred there, you can also do it'. Lunch, tea, close of play, till I got out, he called me every break."
Mendis followed soon after, holing out to long-off as Sri Lanka moved towards the declaration which came with them on 491 for 7.
If the crowd had been entertained by the final stages of the Sri Lankan innings, on a hot Saturday afternoon Chris Tavare and Chris Broad sent them to sleep. They added 56 for the second wicket, and took the entire two-hour afternoon session to make 49. In their defence, both were out of touch, but against that had to be factored the Sri Lankan attack was not remotely threatening.
Celebrations extended into the near-empty stands when Tavare finally fell - his 14 had taken 95 balls and lasted 138 minutes - and wicketkeeper Paul Downton later observed: "Tavaré managed to bat himself out of the England side. It was his last Test for five years and he couldn't get it off the square."
For the paying public there was no relief as even Gower failed to up the tempo. At the close England had limped to 139 for 2, of which the last 105 had taken 56 overs. "No self-respecting club side would have been content with the way England batted," fumed Woodcock.
"I do sympathise with the crowd," Gower said at the close after England had been barracked in the evening session. "It's not very enjoyable playing it. But it would be even less enjoyable if we lost a couple of wickets and put ourselves under pressure."
Then in a moment of honesty, albeit not one designed to impress the England board's commercial department, Gower added: "I'm afraid it should be fairly boring, safe cricket from now on. I can't ask anyone to throw away their wicket and we want runs, lots of them.
After a rest day during which they had plenty of time to digest the scorn piled on them by the press, there was some hope England would change tack on the Monday. But even though it was a public holiday and the weather was glorious, fewer than 7000 bothered to turn up to see if they would. Those that stayed away made the right decision.
Broad and Gower resumed with no sign they wanted to do much more than bat out the day. It took almost an hour for the first boundary to come, and although Broad fell for 86 midway through the session, the tortuous progress continued with 71 runs from 30 pre-lunch overs. "It was marginally preferable to sitting in traffic," sighed Matthew Engel in the Guardian.
In the half-hour after the break England wobbled as Gower - whose innings was described as "tedious" by Woodcock - was caught driving loosely for 55 and then Botham was snared in the gully for 6. England were 218 for 5, some way short of the follow-on total and with Allan Lamb still shaking off a back injury caused when he pulled shut the curtains in his hotel room too vigorously.
Richard Ellison survived two chances in his first over, and with Lamb bailed England out with a sixth-wicket stand of 87. Lamb went on to make 107 in 266 minutes - positively aggressive by the standards of his colleagues - and fell to the last ball of the day. Even so, Sri Lanka had surprised everyone by taking a first-innings lead of 121.
"The fifth day was an exercise in futility," wrote David Frith in Wisden Cricket Monthly. In front of the smallest crowd of a poorly-attended match, Sri Lanka made 294 for 7, with Amal Silva surviving several cramp attacks to make his maiden hundred. For an instant the game might have come to some kind of life as Sri Lanka slipped to 118 for 5 but England were so apathetic in the field - their first 14 overs took 75 minutes - the threat to the visitors was only on paper.
The conclusion to the match summed things up. In front of an almost deserted ground Botham took two late wickets … bowling spin off two paces. "The Sri Lankans were fine players of spin," Lamb said, "and I knew we were taking the piss when Botham started tweaking it."
"Those who stayed away," Woodcock observed, "missed an England performance of surpassing poorness - sans life, sans enterprise, sans everything."
"Looking back, the game could be used as a classic case to illustrate how different things are today," said Jonathan Agnew, who bowled only one over on the final day after pulling a muscle warming up. "I felt a complete outsider, not part of the set-up. I think the feeling in the dressing room was that the game had been a bit of a cock-up."
"I suppose we were setting out to prove we weren't a bad side," reflected Gower. "But it didn't work out that way."

Kallis asked to re-consider
15 Aug 2007
James Nixon
Cricket South Africa chief executive Gerald Majola has publicly asked Jacques Kallis to re-consider standing down as vice-captain.
Kallis said in a
statement to media
that he was extremely disappointed in missing out on selection was considering his future with South Africa cricket.
Majola said in a statement "Jacques Kallis phoned me yesterday to say he was resigning as vice-captain of the Proteas because of his disappointment over not being selected for the South African squad for the ICC World Twenty20 tournament."
"I said we all understood his disappointment, and appealed to him not to resign while in an emotional state, but to rather meet with CSA to discuss the matter fully so that we could deal with all the issues at hand."
"It is most disappointing therefore that Jacques took a unilateral decision, after speaking to me, to publicly announce his resignation as vice-captain."
"Jacques is employed by CSA, and we expected him at least to sit down at a meeting and go through the matter before he made his own decision to make a public announcement."

Portsmouth Long Term Vacation Rentals(11)

Recent Portsmouth Reviews
A perfect place for us.
We were lucky enough to stay at this property for three days for a small family reunion. Our party consisted of adults and children. The location was great, with water views from the front and back of the home. The description and photos on the website were accurate and helpful in choosing a most wonderful place to relax. The home was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Helen and Lori responded quickly and professionally to our questions before and after our reservation was placed. Kids and adults alike enjoyed walking on the waterfront, searching for shells; playing in the yard; lazing on the hammock; and all. Our favorite feature of the house was a continuous bank of windows across the the entire back of the home with a view of the water, and beautiful sunsets. We found a wonderful Market (Clements) close by that provided us with a huge selection of prepared foods making cooking unnecessary. If, however, you enjoy cooking, you will find the kitchen well stocked. As we prepared to leave we informed Helen that she might have to call the authorities to have us removed; we so wanted to stay. We highly recommend this property to everyone.
My family and I had the most wonderful time. The accommodations and property were fantastic. Maureen and Brad were so nice and very helpful. The views and were beautiful and the local restaurants were delightful. We plan on make this an annual destination.
Simply put, this place is terrific.We had a family wedding in Portsmouth and this beach house was the perfect spot to stay to and to entertain. Everything as advertised and more. We particularly loved the fenced-in yard for our dog, as well as the deck and front sun room. Would highly recommend it to anyone and we'll be back. Thanks, Doug & Carol.

Just as it's a miracle that you can grow a human being in your belly, it's a miracle that your body goes back to normal again. I don't think you ever get back to exactly the way you were, but you do get close. And I'm happy with that. Especially when you see your kid for the first time."

And so why the incorrect spelling of what should be "Beautiful"? Oh wait, that's "Art", huh?
