King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard played Baby's All Right, playing Rockaway Beach, and Northside Fest w/ Walter TV
by Bill Pearis
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard @ Baby's All Right 5/16/2014 (via @brooklynvegan)
Australia's King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard were in NYC over the weekend for back-to-back shows at Baby's All Right on Friday (5/16) and Saturday (5/17) that wrapped up their post-Psych Fest tour. I trudged out through the rain on Friday and enjoyed their set. Armed with two drummers and three singers, King Gizzard mostly kept things moving/interesting, with their brand of psych that falls somewhere between Thee Oh Sees and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. They did definitely test my tolerance for jamming when, 30-minutes in, they announced they only had one more song. What they didn't mention was, that last song was about 20 minutes long. Despite the torrential downpours that night, there was a decent crowd there too, most of whom seemed pretty into it.
If you missed them last weekend, King Gizzard are sticking around NYC and have a couple more shows on the horizon. They play Saturday (5/24) at Rockaway Beach Surf Club with Mystery Lights and DJ Jonathan Toubin. That's a day show and is free. They'll also be playing the Panache Booking Northside Festival showcase at Baby's All Right on June 12 with Hunters, Juan Wauters, Mac DeMarco's other band, Walter TV, as well as Homeshake, Big Ups, and DJ Jonathan Toubin. Tickets are on sale now or you can use your Northside badge if you have one of those (note badge entrance based on capacity).

Swearin' & Radiator Hospital played Brooklyn Night Baazar (pics & setlist), playing Northside together (updated dates)
photos by Amanda Hatfield, words by Andrew Sacher
Swearin' headlined an all-around great bill at Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Saturday (5/17) that also included drummer Jeff Bolt pulling double duty in Radiator Hospital, plus Aye Nako and Even Hand. They sounded excellent as ever with a set of their trad-style indie rock that's really too flat out fun and refreshing to sound "revivalist" or anything. They played plenty of favorites, including "Movie Star," "Kenosha," "Echo Locate," "Dust in the Gold Sack" and more from both of their albums and their EP, and didn't leave a dull moment in their 15-song set. Amanda got pictures of their set which are in this post, but had come late after shooting OFF! at Bowery Ballroom and missed the openers.
I caught the openers though, and really everyone was great. Radiator Hospital treated us to a good amount of new material (they're planning on releasing a new album this year), and the old favorites ("Our Song," "Lose Sight of You," etc) were as terrific as ever. Aye Nako also had a typically solid set which ended with a cover of The Cranberries' "Dreams." And Even Hand, who kicked off the show, provided crunchy indie rock that fit well with all the bands to follow.
Both Swearin' and Radiator Hospital will team up in NYC yet again for the PopGun Northside party happening on June 15 at Glasslands which also includes Bent Shapes. Tickets for that show are on sale now, or you can try to get in using your Northside badge. That's during Swearin's tour which didn't previously have a NYC date. Updated dates on that tour are listed below.
That show is one day after Grrrl Fest at Silent Barn which Swearin' were initially announced for but do not play (and which set times were just posted for).
Radiator Hospital also play NYC again this Friday at Silent Barn (5/23) with Free Cake For Every Creature, Frankie Cosmos, Quarterbacks and Adult Mom. More info here.

Lost Boy? releasing new EP on Exploding in Sound (stream a track), playing Northside Fest w/ Big Ups & others
by Bill Pearis
Brooklyn resident Davey Jones (no, not the late Monkees singer) stays busy. He plays in TOONS and Baked, but makes his own music as Lost Boy? and has done so for six or so years with help from a revolving cast of friends. You may have seen Lost Boy? on tour with Titus Andronicus last year. Jones is set to release a new Lost Boy? EP, Wasted, via Exploding in Sound (onetime home of Speedy Ortiz) on May 27. Pre-orders are available.The EP's "Goodbye Galaxy" is two minutes and change of bouncy, catchy indie rock that ends all too soon. (Musically, it's not too far away from Parquet Courts' skronk.) That song makes its premiere in this post.
Folks in the NYC area can catch Lost Boy? at The Deli Magazine's Northside showcase on June 12th at Silent Barn with Big Ups, Butter The Children, Weird Womb, BOYTOY and Dead Tenant.
Be on the lookout for a Lost Boy? album later this year. In the meantime, stream "Goodbye Galazy" below...

UK combo Syd Arthur's new album, Sound Mirror, is out next week (5/20). A psychedelic brew of jazzy rhythms, proggy proclivities (their violinist is Kate Bush's nephew), faery folk, and sunshine melodies, it's all very 1972. You can stream it in full right now (via Stereogum), below.
The band's tour with Sean Lennon's The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger starts next week and will hit NYC on June 5 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets are still available. After that tour ends, Syd Arthur will swing back through the area for Northside Festival at Knitting Factory on June 12. Tickets for the Knit show are on sale now, and you can also try to get in using your Northside badge.
Updated tour dates for Syd Arthur are listed, along with a stream of the new album, below...

The 2014 Northside Festival will be here before you know it, with around 400 artists -- including The War on Drugs, CHVRCHES, Beirut and Thee Oh Sees -- playing the music portion over the course of June 12 - 15. While most of the shows have been up on venue websites for a while, you can now peruse the day-by-day, venue-by-venue, hour-by-hour schedule all in one place. Viewing by venue is probably the easiest way to find stuff, but look at it however you like!
Northside badges ($80) are still on sale but note that entry into shows is based on capacity.
Sacred Bones, Danish punk & more (Lust for Youth, Damien Dubrovnik, Croatian Amor, Container, Uniform, Pharmakon)
by Wyatt Marshall
Lust For Youth (photo by Rasmus Jensen
Lately it's been feeling like every new restaurant in NYC is Nordic-inspired (thanks, Noma), and, pretty soon, another Scandinavian invasion this way comes--loads of releases and performances from Danish bands are scheduled for the next two months.
We've mentioned that Posh Isolation's Lust for Youth and Damien Dubrovnik are playing the Posh Isolation fest in LA next weekend (May 16-17), and now both bands have streamed new songs from forthcoming albums. The deluxe version of Lust for Youth's International LP, out on 6/10 via Sacred Bones, is going to be accompanied by an International Remixes EP, featuring remixes of songs off of International by Sean Ragon (Cult of Youth), Silent Servant, Helm, and more. The Silent Servant remix of the title-track--a gorgeous synth number that builds from minimalist beginnings into heady dance bliss--is streaming below, along with another previously released song off of International.
Damien Dubrovnik, meanwhile, sits at the other end of the electronics spectrum, blasting out an intoxicating PE-style performance on "Penis Corset" off of a forthcoming 7", Patterns of Penetration, which is out on 5/26 via ALTER. For those trying to keep it straight, Lust for Youth is primarily the vehicle of Hannes Norrvide, though he later added Malthe Fischer and (live) Loke Rahbek (also of the now-defunct Var) to the lineup, while Damien Dubrovnik is Rahbek's project with fellow Posh Isolation label boss Christian Stadsgaard.
Lust for Youth will be playing a few US dates in between gigs in Europe, including two shows in Brooklyn--the Sacred Bones/AdHoc Northside show on June 14 at Baby's All Right with Container, Pharmakon, Uniform, and Croatian Amor, and a free 7 PM in-store on June 16 at Rough Trade. Tickets for Baby's are on sale now, no wristband or RSVP needed for the Rough Trade show. All of their dates are listed below.
A bit about that Baby's lineup: Container delivers some pretty wild techno (and recently released a new album), Pharmakon's noisy reputation proceeds her, and Uniform is a side project of members of Believer/Law and The Men. Croatian Amor is another of Loke Rahbek's projects--to add to the dizzying list--and traffics in something akin to ambient electronics. Listen to streams of all, with lists of tour dates for all, below.
Iceage in Portland, 2013 (more by Autumn Andel)
As discussed, Uniform will be opening for Iceage, another member of the Danish invasion, when they play Glasslands on May 24. (To bring things full circle, Iceage's Elias Bender-Rønnenfelt contributed guitars to the LFY track "Epoetin Alfa" below) Tickets for that show are still available. Iceage also play Home Sweet Home with NYC punks Anasazi on May 25 in a special Sunday installation of the weekly Nothing Changes party. And, for good measure, we should mention that Danish punks Lower, who are also playing the Posh Isolation LA fest, bring their tour to Nothing Changes the following Wednesday, May 28 (two days before they play Acheron).
One last related note--as previously mentioned, Pharmakon is also playing Pitchfork's Northside show with Marissa Nadler, Youth Code, Pyrrhon (Hey Doug!) and Couch Slut. Tickets are still available.
All Lust for Youth dates are listed, with the many streams, below...

Craft Spells ready 'Nausea,' going on tour after Captured Tracks Northside showcase (dates, new song streams)
Craft Spells will soon be back with their second album Nausea, which is their first new music in two years. While still making moody, atmospheric pop, main man Justin Paul Vallesteros goes for a grander sound this time, with songs layered with strings, wind instruments, mellotron and other keyboards. It's a nice record. Check out the pastoral "Komorebi" and the more typically Craft Spells-ian "Breaking The Angle Against The Tide" below.
Just after the new album's release Craft Spells will play NYC as part of the Captured Tracks Northside Showcase at Warsaw on June 13 with Beach Fossils, Juan Wauters, Axxa/Abraxas and Donovan Blanc. Tickets are still available. That's the start of a short East Coast / Midwest tour for the band. All dates are listed, along with the new songs streams, below...

Hop Along at House of Vans in 2013 (more by Maclyn Bean)

The first on June 13 features Syracuse noise punks Perfect Pussy, Philly indie rockers Hop Along, Cleveland post-punks Pleasure Leftists, and NYC twee singer/songwriter Frankie Cosmos.
Then on June 14, it's headlined by dream folk singer Marissa Nadler, and otherwise features a heavier lineup -- though Marissa is known for her ties to the metal world -- of noise artist Pharmakon, industrial duo Youth Code, tech-death metallers Pyrrhon and sludgy local band Couch Slut.
Night 1 tickets and night 2 tickets are on sale. Flyers for both, below.
Hop Along also play NYC about a month later on their tour with Owls.

Thee Oh Sees @ Coachella 2013 (more by Wei Shi)

In July, we traveled to Yakima, Washington with two of our closest friends, Cody and Amy, to film a documentary for one of our clients, Palmer Home for Children. We needed to have all of our gear, so we decided to drive the film van instead of flying. We made several stops along the way. The first leg included The Badlands and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. One of my favorite things about South Dakota is that the entire state smelled like honey. It was beautiful and amazing.
We detoured to Devil's Tower in Wyoming. I can't imagine how people felt when they saw this monstrosity hundreds of years ago. We were in awe when we were driving and saw it appear in the distance. We spent one day in Seattle and saw the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the filthy gum wall, ate some great seafood and fabulous ice cream. On the way to Yakima we saw great views of Mt. Rainier and got super close to a huge elk in Stevens Canyon.
When I think of Washington state, it never would have crossed my mind that 108 degrees is a normal summer temperature, but it is. We spent 3 days in the Yakima Valley surrounded in smothering temperatures. Dry heat vs. humid heat is irrelevant when you're in triple digits — it's still miserable. However, we were able to see some fabulous sites and wade in the Yakima river on my 31st birthday. The water temperature was a stark contrast to the air. The river flows off the mountain and was around 63 degrees. (For comparison, the water in Destin, FL is about 85 degrees during the same time of year.)
We made our way south to head home and traveled through Oregon and Idaho. We stayed in Twin Falls, ID and caught some fabulous views of the Snake River the next day. On our way to Yellowstone, I saw on Instagram where fellow photographers and Southerners, Tera and Wes Wages, were also headed to Yellowstone. We met at Old Faithful and chatted for a bit. It's crazy how small the world can seem sometimes! Yellowstone was an awesome experience overall — the springs, the geysers, the wildlife, all of it! I was really holding out to see a moose, but alas, only elk and bison appeared.
We traveled to Santa Fe the next day. A little backstory: Josh and I camped our way to the Grand Canyon for our honeymoon. At the end of our trip we stayed in Santa Fe. We ate at a lovely restaurant, The Pink Adobe, and just had to go back. It was just as glorious as we remembered it.
In nine days, we traveled 6,250 miles, covered 16 states and filmed one documentary. It was beautiful, breathtaking, incredible, marvelous and a little exhausting — and I wouldn't trade it for the world. We're so blessed to have had this experience. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

With movies like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, Studio Ghibli creates amazing worlds that you wish you could visit. With Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, you get that chance! In the first hour of the game, you almost get confused as to whether you're watching a new animated movie from the legendary studio or playing a video game. But soon the cut scenes move to the background and you're playing pure old school JRPG magic.
You play as Oliver, a normal boy in a pretty normal world. But Oliver soon discovers that there is also a hidden parallel world and he has the ability to travel between both. In order to rescue his mother, he will have to embark on a grand adventure in Ni no Kuni with a funny fairy named Drippy and defeat a powerful dark magician. Oliver learns powerful spells as you advance through the game, but most of the fighting is done through familiars, magical creatures that you control. Juggling these creatures and using them at the right time is the secret to getting through the various challenges the game throws at you.
Ni no Kuni is very deep in the amount of diversions it offers. There is the RPG staple of earning experience points and leveling up, but that's just the beginning. There are bounty and collection quests, monster taming and training, collecting stamps, and even an alchemy-type system that doesn't open up until later in the game. All this stuff sounds confusing, but the way it's presented is the strong point of the game. Clearing the boss of an area and then tackling all the side quests is very straightforward and fun. In fact, it's one of the best parts of the game. You are also often required to teleport back to your home world and solve problems there. Because people from your world and Ni no Kuni are linked, you'll have to spend time going back and forth.
The game might not be for everyone, but if you loved Dragon Quest 9 on the DS, this game is definitely for you. The combat is turn-based but with the ability to move your character around the field to avoid attacks or to get in better range of enemy weak points. The story doesn't overwhelm the gameplay and all the different side quests offer a great break when you don't want to progress too quickly. There's even a Pokémon-style part of the game where you can evolve your familiars into a new, stronger creatures!
My only complaint so far is that there is no visual change to the characters when you equip new gear. My main familiar starts off attacking with a little sword even when he has no weapon equipped. Give him a new cool fire sword weapon and while he now does more damage, the rewarding feeling is lessened as he's still holding his same little sword during battle. But it's a minor complaint. And after playing today's big budget RPGs, the old school and old world charm of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a breath of nostalgic fresh air.
Hint: Feed your familiars the various sweets like Cakes and Ice Cream that enemies drop. This will increase their stats and make taking down enemies a lot easier.

Bunker Palace Hotel (1989)
This is a somewhat obscuro French sci-fi, directed and co-written by Enki Bilal, the ace Franco/Yugo comics auteur known for his work in Metal Hurlant, and his amazing Nikopol Trilogy (the other writer is Pierre Christin, a collaborator on early titles such as The Black Order Brigade and The Hunting Party). As well as the comics, Bilal had gained some experience prior to this debut- he was drafted in to provide monster designs for Michael Mann's The Keep (though I don't think he is to blame for the eventual crappy rubber creature in the final film) and he worked in some sort of production design capacity on an Alain Resnais film. I wish that I could go into some sort of description of the genesis of Bunker Palace, but there is either zero information about the film online, or plenty of information online but all of it in languages foreign to me. The IMDB does not carry even one single external review, for heaven's sake, and the messageboards are pretty much empty. The only review in English I could find was in my Time Out Film Guide, suggesting that there must have been some kind of English release for the film, even if it perhaps only played in London. Now, however, the only way of seeing the movie with English subtitles was through certain underhanded methods. So, this review will have to be entirely off my own back. Nightmare.
The film is set in a country seemingly torn apart by civil war, perhaps some kind of insurrection against what may be a dictatorship (very little of this is explained). Divisions in the spoken languages of the country are mentioned at several points, and the mise en scene is somewhere beyond the Iron Curtain, colliding with elements of the Balkans (actually filmed, I believe, in Belgrade). We are shown several members of the county's elite (or perhaps they are members of the cabinet- again, I wasn't very sure), fleeing to a secret underground bunker, maintained and styled as a hotel (hence the title: though it wasn't much of a palace, to be honest) staffed exclusively by (incredibly dysfunctional) robot servants. However, amongst them are spies and imposters. One of these is Clara, played by Carole Bouquet (with dyed orange hair and a minimum of make-up, she looks far more beautiful here, to my eyes, than she did as a Bond girl in For Your Eyes Only), a member of the dissidents who ends up inside only after her original spy is killed. Clearly not a member of the group, she is looked upon with hostility and suspicion by them (interesting cast amongst them, including Maria Schneider and Jean-Pierre Leaud), and subjected to several chat-up routines (with an interrogational edge) by the nominal leader of the group, Jean-Louis Trintignant, a mysterious (well, everyone here is fairly mysterious) industrialist with unclear motives. He is not, crucially, the country's leader, the arrival of whom everyone awaits while debating his motives.
Considering the film is a sci-fi film made in the 1980s, it betrays almost nothing of having been made in that decade, except perhaps for the Cold War inspiration of the setting and Maria Schneider's mullet. Visually, as is always expected from comic book artists dabbling in film, it is spectacular, yet somehow sombre and muted in terms of the colour palette. What astonishes me is how faithfully Bilal is able to replicate his art style in the pre-digital era (the look of characters is paramount to this: Bouquet is clearly remodelled to be one of his drawings; the other tell is a fat robot nurse wearing a pale green uniform, chalk white face and very red lips), and in addition to that, there are next to no special effects in the film, no blue screen, few fancy gadgets. In the first half it seems like they had a whole railway line to play with, Soviet type trains providing the entry to the bunker.
The film is surprisingly talky, coming from comic book authors (can anyone name another comics artist turned director? I can only think of Frank Miller), but never less than intriguing. Coming into it cold helps with the plot twists, of which there are a couple of crucial ones. Certainly worth tracking, through fair means or foul.
I will also, at some point, review Bilal's Tykho Moon here, obtained through similar means.

Dennis Erickson to help as Utah coordinatorThe Associated Press | February 12,2013AP File Photo
Former Arizona State head coach Dennis Erickson watches the action during a 2011 game against Illinois. The Utah Utes announced on Monday that they have hired the 65-year-old Erickson as the football teams co-offensive coordinator.SALT LAKE CITY Dennis Erickson won a pair of national titles at Miami and has been a head coach at three Pac-12 schools.
Now the 65-year-old is coming out of retirement to help transform Utahs offense, joining 26-year-old Brian Johnson as co-offensive coordinator.
Head coach Kyle Whittingham made it clear during a Monday news conference, however, that Erickson would have final say as coordinator despite the co in front of his title.
He called Erickson a good fit, even though he will be yet another offensive mind in the mix especially with quarterback Travis Wilson trying to make the jump after getting thrown into the fire as a freshman last season.
Theres mutual agreement we can continue in the direction were headed. Were not starting over. Thats what we didnt want to do, Whittingham said.
We werent very good on offense last year, but I think were doing some good things and we need to build on that. I think hes going to allow us to do that without having a wholesale systematic change. . Its an opportunity for all of us to learn from (him).
Whittingham wasnt sugar-coating Utahs offensive woes.
The Utes were 105th in the nation last season in total offense, averaging 324.42 yards. They were 97th in passing offense at 190.67 yards and 91st in rushing offense (133.75).
This for a team some thought would contend for the South Division title.
They avoided the South cellar only because of Colorados woeful record.
Johnson, a former Utah quarterback who engineered the Utes Sugar Bowl victory, struggled at times since becoming major college footballs youngest coordinator last year.
Whittingham said hiring Erickson is not a demotion for Johnson.
In no way, shape or form does this diminish my opinion of Brian or what I think his future is, Whittingham said.
Instead, Whittingham said he believes Erickson can help implement some aspects of the high-tempo offense so popular now in the Pac-12.
Im not going to sit here and tell you were going to go to the light-speed of which Oregon plays every snap, but were going to have the ability to change tempos, Whittingham said. Thats something we were thinking about prior to coach Erickson coming on board. Its something we need to do to improve our offense.
Whittingham said he has followed Ericksons career from Idaho, where he got his start in 1982, and Wyoming to the incredible success at Miami
He has been labeled as one of the original architects of the spread and we are looking forward to the impact he will have on our offense, he said.
The Utes are coming off a 5-7 season in which they finished a disappointing 3-6 in conference play.
Being around football players and coaches has been my life and thats why I am coming out of retirement, Erickson said in a statement. I will do whatever I can to help the players and coaches at Utah be successful and I am excited to get back out on the football field.
Erickson was at his home in Arizona and expected to be in Utah next week.
Erickson won national titles in 1989 and 1991 as coach at Miami, where he compiled a 63-9 record before heading to the NFL as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
He has been a head coach at six universities three of them Pac-12 schools.
Erickson is the only coach to win Pac-10 Coach of the Year at three schools, sharing the honor in 1998 at Washington State, winning it outright in 2000 at Oregon State and in 2007 at ASU, when he led the Sun Devils to a share of the conference title in his first season.
His success at ASU didnt continue and he was fired in 2011 after failing to secure another winning season.
Whittingham looked beyond the down years at ASU, or Ericksons 9-23 record over two seasons as coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2003-04.
I think hell be just fine, Whittingham said. Were hiring him to make our offense more productive. . Hes done plenty of good things in his career. Youd be hard-pressed to look at a guy thats coached that long and have every year be up.
Erickson has an overall college coaching record of 179-96-1 over 23 seasons.MORE IN Wire SportsMEMPHIS, Tenn. Full StoryEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Full StoryLONDON Chelsea kept its three-point lead at the midpoint of the Premier League season Sunday... Full Story

HPV Vaccination of Males Not Cost-Effective
- 0Oct 13, '09 by sirI, MSN, APRN, NP AdminOctober 12, 2009 Vaccinating boys against human papillomavirus (HPV) in addition to girls is not likely to be cost-effective, conclude a new analysis and an accompanying editorial published online October 8 in the British Medical Journal.
In the United States, this use of Gardasil i.e., vaccinating boys to protect against genital warts was recently recommended for approval by a US Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee, as reported by Medscape Oncology.
However, the new analysis concludes that "including boys in an HPV vaccination program is unlikely to provide good value for resources, compared with vaccinating girls only.
- 3Oct 13, '09 by CEGI didn't read the article so forgive me if this is covered, but 70% of the population has HPV. How can it not be cost-effective if you figure that males are the ones passing to females? Cervical cancer screenings through pap smears is certainly not cost-effective and we do that because early detection of cervical cancer saves lives. Why not primary prevention through vaccines?
- 2Oct 13, '09 by hiddencatRN2nd CEG. There's no way to test men (as far as I know) so immunizing them seems like an extra (needed) step to protecting women from cervical cancer. And with many people not interested in vaccinating for HPV in the first place, are we really in any danger of running out of supplies by "wasting" it on the guys?
- 0Oct 13, '09 by azhiker96The study was looking at cost benefit. By their analysis it's more cost effective to concentrate efforts on vaccinating the girls.
"Only under the most favorable assumptions for the benefits of adding male HPV vaccination to female vaccination did the cost fall below $100,000 per QALY [quality of life-year], the threshold below which an intervention is considered a good economic investment," the editorialist explain.
Under no scenario did the cost of including males in HPV vaccination programs fall below $50,000 per QALY, which is perhaps a "more fiscally responsible threshold, given the need to lower healthcare costs and increase efficiency," they add.
"By comparison, HPV vaccination of 12-year-old girls was always a good health investment," whatever the modeling, the editorial notes.
- 1Oct 14, '09 by hiddencatRNQuote from azhiker96The strains that cause cervical cancer don't cause genital warts, and genital warts can be visible externally on women too.It's true that either gender can pass this virus and if I were young and single I'd certainly want the vaccine. They're just looking at cost/benefit. In males it's relatively easy to spot as genital warts.
- 3Oct 14, '09 by mercedesbenz520I am all for vaccinating males. HPV is a very common illness often without symptoms. Vaccinating boys will prevent this disease from being spread, hopefully eradicating it for the future.
- 5Oct 14, '09 by birdgardnerIf the entire female population were vaccinated, and everyone were heterosexual, it wouldn't be necessary to vaccinate the boys to protect the girls.
Boys and men who have same-sex intercourse are at risk for anal and throat cancer.
- 1Oct 14, '09 by mercedesbenz520This can happen to women too.
- 3Oct 14, '09 by CEGQuote from birdgardnerIf the entire male population were vaccinated and everyone were heterosexual it wouldn't be necessary to vaccinate the girls against the disease that they were getting from the boys in the first place.If the entire female population were vaccinated, and everyone were heterosexual, it wouldn't be necessary to vaccinate the boys to protect the girls.
Boys and men who have same-sex intercourse are at risk for anal and throat cancer.
But not everyone is heterosexual, not everyone has only vaginal-penile intercourse, and not everyone gets vaccinated. I don't see how it is less cost effective to vaccinate a male who has the potential to spread HPV to multiple partners.
- 3Oct 14, '09 by MikeyBSNThere could be political motives behind backing or using studies like this. They determine that not vaccinating men is not "cost effective". Then, the poorer women who have not been vaccinated due to lack of opportunity would have a greater risk of becoming infected. Also, this would do nothing to stop the spread of the disease among gay males. That way, the conservative movement now has another "gay" and "poor" disease to use in their arsenal.

I'd like to see the pix too, but excluding that, this is one of the very best Dreamlands (and subscriber interviews) that I've ever heard. And I've been listening _forever_!! !! !
Ditto all of the above about the pics.
I have been trying to attract the attention of visitors using a powerful, green laser pointed skyward here, in North West Washington, with no luck. Any ideas from anyone?
I would like to try the thought experiments as mentioned by Ralph Steiner.
Ralph is an old friend of mine but haven't been in touch for a number of years, he may have showed me the pictures but don't remember now. He told me about the contact and sighting stories he mentioned in the subscriber interview plus much more, hoping he will be back with Whitley soon. Was hoping there would be some contact information for Ralph.
Thanks Whitley, fantastic pictures...
What a great interview.
Wonderful interview Whitley. Interesting to note that UFO experiencer, researcher & author Karla Turner (Into the Fringe), who was one of the first to public discuss the military abductions aspect of the UFO/abduction phenom, died suddenly in 1996 from a very rare and aggressive form of cancer.
Very interesting.
Berkeley looks a lot like Santa Monica in this particular photo! West St. and Channing Way.
Loved this interview!! Thank you Whitley & Annie for bringing all of this info to us here. :)

My husband laughs at me about my, "One track mind." When I'm focused on somthing there's no getting through to me until I've completed the track.
Unfortunately, the track my mind is on currently keeps forking off and I find myself either focusing on way too many things at once or mind comes to a complete halt!
Here's how it's kinda been working lately.
Mostly I'm focused on my trip to Seattle this week ... but then there's the kids, the laundry, the blogs, the puppy ... packing ... writing ... Nevertheless, It always ends up on the same thing! Seattle!
What get's your mind stuck? Does it happen often? Or just when big events are drawing near? Is it a BP thing? Or am I just crazy? (rhetorical question there!)

Anyone use a "thumb thing" ?—a small item that that you grab, hold on to and rub with your thumb or roll in your hand to calm yourself? All the rage a number of years ago, many were made of polished stone, hardwood or other materials.
But one made of wrought iron? Mine is and it's special.
Some time ago I earned an art scholarship to Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. This magical place is where artist Georgia O'Keeffe fell in love with the Southwest, and left us with a new definition of American art. Today, Ghost Ranch has evolved beyond an artists' sanctuary into a place for retreat and reflection for numerous interests.
While there, I took a course in blacksmithing (yes, blacksmithing). At the start, with a class count of nine, I was the only woman; by course end, I was the only student. My instructor was kind of famous (think Smithsonian), and an excellent teacher. The other men told him they'd quit because blacksmithing was too hard!
It is hard. It's hot and dirty. It's heavy. The science?—riiiight. But the advantage of being the only student allowed time for talking with my instructor about my dreams as an artist, and my fears around bipolar keeping me from those dreams. It was clear I am not a blacksmithing prodigy; he made sure I was aware that by staying and making, I am not a quitter. He pointed out that the mind-body (idea to pounding iron) connection is the avenue to success.
On the last day, he presented me with my wrought iron thumb thing, shaped like a softly draping leaf. It fits my hand perfectly. It was his gift to remind me to get out of my head, feel physical reality, calm down, and get on with it.
What physical thing helps you get on with it?

A few weeks ago, I accepted a book deal for my second book—a memoir highlighting my clinical bipolarity (as someone living with bipolar disorder) and my cultural bipolarity (as an Iranian-American Muslim). I have about a year to finish writing the book, as I've only written a handful of chapters thus far, so I'm just getting started.
Despite the fact that the book is about my own experiences, it still requires tons of research on my part—and not the kind I particularly enjoy doing. In preparation for writing, I'm now in the process going through old diaries, documents, notes and medical records.
I tend to write a lot when I'm manic, and a lot of that writing tends to read like nonsense. So, reviewing all my manic rants has proven exhausting—not to mention disturbing. It's definitely not something I would have done if I weren't writing this book. Nonetheless, reviewing Manic Melody's notes has been incredibly enlightening.
I wouldn't have thought that reading my delusional ramblings would in any way further my journey to
sleep, diet and exercise especially.
What insights have you come upon after seeing, hearing or reading the products of your manic mind?
Let us know by leaving a comment below!

Hi. I'm Beth, the new kid here, and I just got my third tattoo.
So what?
This new one I have considered for some time, as I have developed increasing objectivity about myself, tenacity, bipolar, PTSD, and medicine.
{Let it be}
Yes, as in Beatles' song, and my favorite stanza:
"And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be"
"Let it be" is a paradigm shift. The "so what" is that it's been a long time coming. Kicking and screaming was not only my manner of behavior for years, but also my selected technique for learning about and coping with bipolar disorder. I said, "Thou shalt follow these 'getting better via these bipolar management rules' and learn, understand, and overcome symptoms. And thou shalt be well".
I had a very trying 2010. Mostly there was no fight. It dawned on me early this year, in the midst of some serious medical concerns, that maybe I could feel more at peace if I just let things be what they are, and go from there.
The tattoo is on the inside of my right wrist, facing me. When I need to remind myself to let go, I simply turn my wrist over, and read. It calms me, gives me hope. Let it be.
Have you made any big paradigm shifts in order to cope? Or do you have a special image or phrase that calms you?

Yesterday I came across a jangled journal from my days of depression. I flipped through the pages and came across this entry from when I was in Martha's Vineyard:
"Felt really, really, low today on mopeds. When it happens, it's terrible. I can't talk. My brain feels flooded. They know it happens when I get quiet. Before was so bad, it was overwhelming. I get so far away sometimes. God, I wish it would go away. Make it go away already. I can't live like this anymore. The lithium doesn't do anything but make me more depressed."
Reading this brought me back to a difficult part of my life. But like they say, "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger." Well, aside for not killing me, I began writing.
No matter where I went I carried a journal. Whenever I was alone, I would jot down my random thoughts, I would make my things-to-do lists (even if I was too depressed to do any things on the list) and I would write letters to God asking him to watch over me, to help get me through the day.
I can't stress enough how powerful writing can be if you're suffering from depression or anxiety. Sometimes when I'm really stressed out, I write down what I'm stressed about. I write down how it will all work out. And within seconds, I feel like I put down a ton of negative mental bricks.
The next time you're worrying about something, get it out of your head. And not only will you feel better, you may start writing—for fun, or for your career. For me, my journals turned into a book.
Happy writing!

Meeting of Minds II: Culinary Fusion Expo to showcase Grand Bahama's best!
The Meeting of Minds II: Culinary Fusion Expo will be held in November 9th at the Canal House, Pelican Bay Hotel and will provide a platform to bring together the island's diverse food and beverage industry, providing the ultimate venue to promote products and/or services.
"Grand Bahama tourism relies heavily on the culinary experiences we provide, and part of that is our food quality and presentation, and courteous service," said Sean Johnson II, the creative director of Meeting of Minds. "We want Grand Bahama businesses to show us what they've got!"
Food lovers will get to experience cuisine from some of Grand Bahama's hottest chefs and cooks, some preparing dishes perhaps never seen, heard of or even thought of before. The Culinary Fusion Expo will also feature the leading beverage suppliers and manufacturing companies in The Bahamas. Visitors will have access to premium spirits showcasing a variety of beverages ranging from rum, wine, beer, natural juices and smoothies, milk-based beverages, coffee based beverages, all to enhance the experience associated within Grand Bahama's Food and Beverage industry.
"We are looking for any persons who are involved in the food and beverage industry in all its many facets," said Johnson. "Building on the success of last year's event, which focused on the arts and fashion, this year it's all about things that are 'yummy for the tummy.'
Johnson is encouraging growers, manufacturers, bakeries, ice cream parlors and cafés, food and beverage product providers, event and catering companies, meat and fish distributors, hotel organizations, financial institutions, packaging supply companies, shipping and transportation companies, social organizations, and all related ministries and government institutions that touch upon this vast area to come out.
"Anybody, big or small, who sees themselves, or their business associated with excellence and top class service, will find this the perfect venue to further establish their brand," said Johnson. Many local companies have already signing up. "We are excited to have businesses such as Flying Fish Modern Seafood, Sweet Affairs, and Red Beard's Pub on board for this year's event, just to name a few."
"This is a chance for everyone to experience the various dining and catering options, and maybe even find the perfect compliment to an upcoming wedding, office or Christmas party," said Johnson.
We wish to thank our media partner TheBahamasWeekly.com
