Security | News
Code that can exploit a Rich Text Format flaw in Microsoft Office has been published, according to a Microsoft announcement late last month.
The good news is that IT pros who applied Microsoft November patch for this exploit have addressed that RTF vulnerability in Office. However, those behind on completing their patching tasks may need to find the time, especially with the general availability of the attack code. The Office flaw just adds to IT woes. Microsoft also recently issued a security advisory concerning a Windows graphics rendering engine flaw. Additionally, there's a Microsoft security advisory released on Internet Explorer, plus Microsoft is investigating a proof-of-concept flaw in Internet Information Services FTP 7.5.
Microsoft released a patch for the Office RTF vulnerability, known as CVE-2010-3333, in November, and no widespread outbreaks of exploits have yet been reported. The public availability of an exploit lowers the bar for attackers, however, and increases the urgency for seeing that affected software is patched.
"Hopefully, everybody is adhering to best practices and patching as soon as possible," said Joshua Talbot, security intelligence manager for Symantec Security Response. "If people haven't made this a priority, now would be a good time."
The RTF Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability affects Microsoft Office XP and Office 2003 Service Pack 3, Office 2007 SP2, as well as Office 2010 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Microsoft described the vulnerability and released a patch for it in its November security bulletin. A flaw in the way Office software processes RTF data can allow an attacker to take control of the victim's computer to install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
The vulnerability was rated important or critical, depending on the platform.
"We predicted at the time that it would become a target of attackers," Talbot said. "Since then we've seen a number of attacks in the wild, but no widespread exploitation."
But with the public availability of attack code, that could change. "The main concern is that the exploit is available so that less-skilled attackers can use it," Talbot said.
Microsoft's Malware Protection Center Blog reported Dec. 29 that a sample of a successful exploit for this vulnerability able to execute malicious shellcode that downloads other malware had been found a few days before Christmas.
"The vulnerability can be triggered by utilizing a specially crafted RTF file with a size parameter that is bigger than the expected one," Microsoft reported in its MMPC blog. "The vulnerability is present in Microsoft Word. It attempts to copy RTF data to the stack memory without validating the size, which will lead to overwriting the stack."
In addition to patching affected software, Microsoft recommended using Office File Block to block opening RTF documents from unknown or untrusted sources.
Because the vulnerability exists in Office software, Microsoft Outlook also could be used as a vector for delivering attacks by sending an RTF message by e-mail and having it open automatically in the Outlook preview pane. The current exploit uses only RTF Word documents, however, which could reduce the danger because it would require the recipient to open the document rather than having this happen automatically.
Microsoft advised reading e-mails only in plain text formats as a workaround. Users of Outlook 2002 who have applied Office XP Service Pack 1 or a later version can require that messages that are not digitally signed or encrypted be read only as plain text.

Sonny Vincent
Sonny Vincent (born July 7, 1952, New York, United States) is an American punk rock musician. He has been active since the mid-1970s, when he was part of the New York City punk rock scene with his original band 'TESTORS'.[1] Sonny is currently active in music, film, Multi-Media art and writing. Recently in 2013 he brought his wild show on the road for 3 months, covering the U.S.A, Canada, Europe and Japan. Recording music as well as being active in the field of Art, his pedigree includes the many incendiary, raw, mid 70's `Testors` performances at C.B.G.B and Max's Kansas City. Always active in his own bands Sonny also spent time touring and recording for 9 years as Maureen Tucker's and Sterling Morrison's guitarplayer (both of the notorious Velvet Underground).Notable members of Sonny's band include a vast range of players/characters, from the drummer of the Stooges (Scott Asheton) to Ernie Knapp (guitar player for Charles Manson). When asked why he doesn't keep a set line up and how he played with so many luminaries and degenerates, Sonny replies-" I'm solo, I'm not gonna break up with myself Haa! Haa!! Anyway when you are `solo` you have a whole world full of crazy, dedicated and talented musicians to play music with!"
Life and career[edit]
Sonny Vincent formed the Testors in 1975 with Gene Sinigalliano (guitar) and Gregory R (drums). Later line-ups included Surrealist Ron Pieniak (Rex Pharaoh) on bass, Jeff Couganour (Jeff West) on drums and Kenneth Huebner (Kenneth Brighton) on bass. They played New York clubs such as Max's Kansas City, and CBGB and the Hot Club in Philadelphia with groups such as Mink DeVille, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, The Cramps, and Suicide, and toured nationwide with the Dead Boys. Testors released a 7" single, "Together" b/w "Time Is Mine." [2] "Their earliest recordings are considerably tougher, louder and more desperate than any other music made at that time (or since!)"-Swami Records
In 1981, Testors disbanded and Vincent moved to Minneapolis where he formed Sonny Vincent and the Extreme with Michael Phillips (guitar), Jeff Rogers (drums) and the late Mort Bauman (bass guitar). The group toured the U.S. and released another single, "SVE" with the songs, "Wingdale," "Top Dog" and "Phantom." The group also made the bizarre film "Mannequin World" on the streets of Minneapolis. It was shown on television in the Twin Cities only once, after which the host of the program remarked, "I sure hope the boss wasn't watching." In 1983, Sonny was involved in a performance art project that saw him banned from the grounds of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. During his time living in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Vincent became involved with film-making and multimedia arts.[1]
After the Extreme disbanded Vincent went on to form other groups, such as Model Prisoners (line-up included Bob Stinson from the Replacements) [1] and Shotgun Rationale (a revolving line-up that included at one time or another Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys and Bob Stinson, both of whom, incidentally, were in the group together at one time in what Vincent referred to in an interview as a "therapist's nightmare"). Another version of Shotgun Rationale, which toured Canada, included Greg Norton of Hüsker Dü on bass.
During the 80's Sonny and his Minnesota drummer Jeff Rogers moved to Los Angeles, California where they formed a band for a short time with Ernie Knapp on bass. Notated here due to the unlikely meeting of Sonny and Ernie Knapp. Ernie was in a band with Charles Manson in the 1960`s (before all the creepy crawly stuff) and later he played bass in the Beach Boys! Ernie plays bass on the song 'What Is This Feeling?' which appears on Sonny's album ULTRAMAFIC
Later Sonny moved to the Netherlands. He formed a group with two Dutch musicians called the Dons. Other line-ups during this period were Sonny Vincent and the Guevaras and Sonny Vincent and His Rat Race Choir (Scott Asheton of the Stooges, Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys and Captain Sensible of the Damned).
In addition to releasing over 20 albums under his own name, Vincent toured and recorded for nine years with Maureen "Moe" Tucker of the Velvet Underground. During this time, although Vincent continued to record his own albums and tour his own show, he dedicated many years to Tucker, recording albums with her and doing many tours across the United States and Europe. Although the line-ups Moe used often changed, Vincent and John Sluggett were permanent members. During the recording of Tucker's third album in New York City, which included Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison, Vincent encouraged Morrison to join Tucker's touring band. Having two original members of the Velvet Underground (Tucker and Morrison) and members of Testors (Vincent) and Half Japanese (John) brought new life to the band. Another short-lived addition to the band was Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes.
After touring with Tucker became less frequent Vincent recorded a new album named "Pure Filth" with drummer Scott Asheton of the Stooges and Captain Sensible of the Damned. After this release, Vincent and Asheton, along with Steve Baise of the Devil Dogs, proceeded to tour the United States and Europe playing songs from the "Pure Filth" album as well as songs from Vincent's vast catalog.
Sonny has continued touring and playing his songs for audiences in Europe and the United States. Releases continue to come out on both shores.
- 2012 marked the formation of Sonny Vincent and the Bad Reactions. The Band toured the United States during the summer and recorded three songs, released by tREND iS dEAD! records on 7" vinyl. Currently, Vincent records and performs under his own name.[1]
- 2012 saw Hozac records initiate the "Archive" branch of its label. The first release in this category was Vincent's "Proto- Punk" band Fury. Recorded in 1972, it documents a very young Vincent amazingly shredding and wailing.
Vincent has performed and recorded with many musicians, such as Wayne Kramer, Maureen Tucker, Scott Asheton, Captain Sensible, Cheetah Chrome, Bob Stinson, Walter Lure, Brian James, Thurston Moore, Richard Lloyd, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Jad Fair, John Sluggett, Greg Ginn, John Reis, Lance of Athens GA, and Kim Shattuk.
CURRENT: As well as being active in film and visual arts[3] Sonny Vincent continues to perform and record with various musicians that he has met and worked with over the years. Due to Vincent's well known insistence on keeping his personal life and family history private, little is known of his family history. One article that partly addressed his personal history and life is "Sonny Vincent and the Beaten Heart of Punk" by Jeffrey Wengrofsky, appeared in Coilhouse magazine. Vincent still tours much of Europe and the U.S. on a regular basis.[1]

A MATTER OF OPINION: Executive editors David Shipley and Jamie Rubin have begun hiring staff at Bloomberg View, the new opinion arm of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Bloomberg L.P. The pair have hired five editors so far, including Frank Wilkinson, an executive editor at The Week; Tim Lavin, a senior editor at The Atlantic, and Stuart Seldowitz, a three-decade veteran of the State Department. Seldowitz was the acting director for South Asia at the National Security Council through the beginning of this year, and he worked as an adviser to the U.S. ambassador to NATO during the Bush administration.
Shipley, who left his post as op-ed editor at The New York Times to launch the Bloomberg opinion outfit, has brought on his deputy of five years at the paper, Mary Duenwald, and Toby Harshaw, a career Timesman and former op-ed staff editor. Rubin, a former assistant secretary at the State Department himself, has a Times connection too. His sister Elizabeth Rubin writes for the Times Magazine, most recently about Afghanistan.
Except for Rubin and Shipley, the staff won't have titles. Some will work editing op-ed-style columns and others will function as an editorial board, writing unsigned opinion pieces. The length, frequency and style of those editorials is still being determined, according to one staffer. More hires are on the way.
The growing Bloomberg View staff is working out of a 17,000-square-foot Stanford White mansion on Madison Avenue and East 78th Street that the mayor bought for $45 million in 2006. He lives nearby, and his philanthropic organization, Bloomberg Family Foundation, also has its offices on the premises. An enormous sculpture of a sperm whale was recently removed from the building's lobby, but, according to Bloomberg L.P. convention, a fish tank remains.

- Maasai Mara national reserve offers an absolutely unique variety of animals. The reason is that this hilly region is both humid and fertile and is crossed by the rivers Mara and Talek full of crocodiles and hippo and which carry water the whole year around. The banks of the rivers are covered in thick forest which gradually makes way for bush and grassland the abundance of water and excellent availability of food are reasons why the Maasai Mara which in fact is a condition of the Tanzanian Serengeti National park has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa.
Samburu buffalo springs and Shaba National reserve include in their boundaries all the flora and fauna to be found in the north of Kenya. The dry grassland interspersed with acacias is interrupted from time to time by rich green vegetation, wherever enough water is present. E.g. the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river (with its huge Nile crocodiles) or in marsh regions. This countryside dotted with volcanic peaks offer a sanctuary to a wide variety of animals. These baboons,' reticulate Giraffe's, Elephants, waterbucks, gerenuks and grevy zebras. Lion and Cheetahs are not quite so common but plenty of leopards can be sighted. There are no longer any rhinos.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

I originally bought this because there was a cow on the front and I love cows, but the lotion ended up being amazing too!
I only give it a one for the smell. For those who also dislike the smell, the Burt's Bees Aloe & Buttermilk one will solve that problem.
I just felt the smell was too overpowering and strange, especially added to the other fragrances we all use on a regular basis, it was too much.
Okay, I don't have much to say on the consistency, moisturizing power, price, or package-- they all appear to be fine.
What I absolutely have to comment on is what I think this smells like. I am a total freak but I swear to you that what this reminds me of is a combination of beeswax and dried tobacco. Told ya. I'm weird. But there it is nonetheless.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i bought this lotion after i discovered the lip balm- i thought it'd be awesome but it turned out to be quite the opposite. i don't like the way it smells, or how watery it is, but it does the job well. not to the extent of say, body butter, which this is not, but it's handy for some quick elbow/leg lotioning when i'm at home. i would never leave my house smelling like this lotion!
I love this lotion! It smells amazing and mousturizes very well! It is a bit pricey for lotion, but is well worth it. Will buy again
This lotion is great for summer because it is very light and non-greasy. I also found that it absorbs quickly. The smell dissipates in about half an hour to an hour. The only thing I did not appreciate was how runny it was ☹ I will definitely buy another bottle again.
I have to say this is the first lotion I have ever purchased that actually moisturized my skin and didn't require constant reapplying. I bought it when I was on my 'natural stuff kick' and have found it to be (pardon the pun here - it's only mildly intentional) the bee's knees.
The consistency is a bit runny and it is easy to squeeze out much more than you actually need. I have to be rather careful with it. Once it is applied to my skin, the difference is immediately noticeable. It doesn't feel gummy, waxy or too slick. It's hard to explain - my hands feel...supple?
The smell is another story. Though I don't particularly dislike it, it is definitely unique. I personally think it smells like Play - Doh (no joke), yet everyone at my job says it smells like suntan lotion. This is more of an annoyance than anything as I can only come up with so many witty retorts over the course of 8 hours that I had to quit taking it to work. I had to resort to using sub par cheapo lotion after I washed my hands, which I have to reapply often btw.
This is definitely a staple in my household now (as long as Target doesn't keep selling out of it, grrr! Walgreens charges a little more and they are my last resort - the lotion is expensive as it is already).
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I looove the smell of this! It's also nice and light, sinks into your skin quickly, and is a lot less greasy than most other Burt's Bees products. I keep a little bottle of this in my purse for my hands. I'm not sure it would work for really super dry skin, but for everyday it's fine.
awesome! absolutely amazing!: ) love this stuff. love the smell. it's paraben and phthalate free! contains milk powder, vitamin e , honey. ect. ect. $8.99 8 fl oz. 98.25 % natural! :) great BURT'S BEES!:)
I looove the smell of this lotion. It smells the best! Best of all...NO PRESERVATIVES or other crap. I used to use Jergen's Shea butter and I loved the way it smelled but it had paraben's in it and hydrogenated stuff...I just felt yucky after putting it on....but this Burt's bee's lotion smells amazing (not too intense) and it definitely moisturizes my body! My BF loves the smell. It is expensive, but you can also get it off eBay for less if you don't want to pay the $8.99.

Ron Nash Talks About LinkedIn and Going From Jobless to Hired
Although technology like Monster.com, Yahoo Jobs and Careerbuilder, has streamlined the job search process, landing a great job today is no easier than it was twenty years ago. Unfortunately, this simplified process means every other interested job seeker will likely find the opportunity as well. Other job seekers are also likely applying to multiple job opportunities. The end goal is an interview, and the competition for a face to face meeting with a hiring manager is fierce.
There are many thousands of applicants looking for their dream job, but only 5% of all job opportunities are ever posted online. Crafty job seekers are using alternative methods to find, apply and land their dream job. An example is the popular professional networking site LinkedIn.
Ron Nash, an expert in training job seekers to properly network, believes that most "dream jobs" are not found by taking the traditional approach of submitting a resume and waiting for a phone call. Nash believes that the best potential for landing a dream job is to tap into the "hidden job market." Nash explains that "95% of the job market is hidden. LinkedIn is the key to the hidden job market."
Of course, simply opening a LinkedIn account is not the solution. There is a formula to using LinkedIn that job seekers must understand to properly position themselves as the most visible applicant to their dream job, as well as the best candidate.
The most common way to use LinkedIn is to fill out a profile based on professional experience and interests. All other LinkedIn users can view this profile and send invitations to build a network. LinkedIn users can also search through profiles and contact potential candidates if a job opportunity is available and that user has an attractive profile. Nash calls this the "passive approach," and stresses the importance of having a thoroughly professional profile.
Each section of the profile needs well written content, and pictures should be taken by a professional. Perhaps the most important aspect of using LinkedIn as a vehicle to land a dream job is that most companies use applicant tracking software which scans profiles for key words relevant to the position. To be noticed by a hiring manager or headhunter, a profile must have these keywords throughout each section. This passive approach is a proven strategy for landing great jobs, as an applicant's information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Another LinkedIn strategy to landing a dream job is the "proactive approach." This method is more aggressive, in which applicants specifically target companies in a geographical area that they are interested in working for. By finding current employees at targeted companies, a job seeker can build a network and begin building relationships with these professionals.

Gundam has always been about war, what causes it, and human evolution. But it has also been about model kits. In Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, war is completely ignored and the models become the focus; celebrating thirty years worth of plastic kit building.The story starts when Haru Irei goes to see the Odaiba Gundam with his father. When he decides he wants to build a model kit, he fails to pick up the last RX-78 and instead stumbles upon a rare model kit; the Beginning Gundam. Upon completing it, he starts to play in the Gunpla Battle video game where his model is scanned into a computer so he can actually pilot it against other model kits. In one of these battles he meets the mysterious Boris Schauer, who shows him how deep the world of Gunpla can get.The series is a three episode OVA of episodes consisting of fifteen minutes each. It can either be seen as a crass marketing ploy that cuts out the War Is Hell middleman or a cute little show about the culture that has kept Gundam going for thirty years - which seeing as its meant to celebrate the models - not the series, the latter would the optimal mindset to enjoy it. Either way you can view it online here. It also spawn two sidestory mangas, Gunpla Builders Beginning D and Gunpla Builders Beginning J.Now has a Defictionalization in the video game Gundam Breaker for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita, which serves the OVA's purpose in Video Game form, as well as a Spiritual Successor in the anime series Gundam Build Fighters which expands the idea even further.
Gunpla Builders Beginning G provides examples of the following tropes.

JET: The Beginning– Tokyo Orientation
Tokyo Orientation
With Japanese conferences there is a very set order and methodology. You must first have someone introduce the speaker who will be introducing the speaker who will open the opening ceremony. Then the person who was just introduced will introduce the person opening the opening ceremony. The person opening the opening ceremony must then introduce the person who will actually be doing the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is then opened. The opening ceremony speaker speaks about how he is opening the ceremony, then the first person comes back and reintroduces the person who will reintroduce the person who opened the opening ceremony. This person then introduces the closer of the opening ceremony, who then closes the opening ceremony.
Now that the ceremony has officially been opened they may commence opening the actual ceremony with the introduction of the opener of the ceremony, etc, etc, etc. The actual ceremony itself tended to be some important official quickly saying a few words before he rushed off to some other, more important, ceremony where he was required to have face time. This was also the first taste of the mindset in Japan in which it doesn't really matter if you do anything or have a purpose in general, it only matters if you show up.
Once the actual ceremony is complete then they may commence the opening of the closing ceremony, etc. This whole system drags out things that should take a few minutes into an exponentially longer amount of time. Remember that this wasn't just this ceremony, as practically all big official meetings go through with this system. It sucks. Now repeat that for three days, and you have Tokyo Orientation.
Well, I'll backtrack. Tokyo Orientation isn't all ceremonies and such, as officially you are also required to go to some workshops and such. I personally went to one workshop then said screw it and explored Tokyo. I think that's the way to go.
For one of the days which I skipped on out workshops, I felt in the mood to go eat lunch at one of Akihabara's fabled maid cafes. On the way out I came across another fellow who had a similar idea of heading out into the city to see what it was all about. As he was a musician, we first stopped by Ochanomizu to look at the plethora of music shops there.
Once we had completed browsing around innumerable music stores, we found our way back to the station and hopped on our train just as it was about to depart. At least we thought it was our train.
This was the first occurance of an error I'd make every once in awhile during my stay in Japan, and that would be to accidentally hop on the wrong train. We had the correct line, only in our haste to get on it before it pulled away we didn't realize that it was going in the incorrect direction. Furthermore, instead of looking at what stop the train was actually at, I was merely counting the number of times the train stopped, as I knew we should have gotten off at the second stop.
We got off at the second stop, but it most certainly wasn't Akihabara. Once we sufficiently realized we were in the wrong part of the city, we went about enjoying ourselves anyway by heading over to the Tokyo Dome area. After being awed at many of the arcade games there (something I'm used to now), we headed over to the giant roller coaster that goes through the city.
At this time my disposable friend-for-a-day had to head back to the hotel, so I bid him farewell, never to see him again. Now that I was on my own, I was free to spend the 800 yen (~$7.50) to say that I rode a roller coaster through the middle of Tokyo and through a building. I did, and it was fun.
By now I had still yet to eat lunch, so off it was back to the train station to actually go to Akihabara and find a place to eat. Once I got there I didn't really have much time anymore to look around, so it was off to the familiar face of KFC to eat some chicken. As a sidenote, the last time I went to Akihabara I came across the KFC again. It now has a special place in my heart. Oh the memories of the KFC.
Outside of skipping out on more workshops to go swimming with some people at the pool on the roof, and the going out eating/drinking/karaokeing with the new Fukushima people, not too terribly much else happened.
After a few days it was time to leave, so everyone woke up early, gethered downstairs, and off we were on the bus to see our new homes!

The new buzz word Cloud Computing is taking root quickly and established and new companies are scrambling to adjust to this new reality. This is especially true for software companies (Microsoft just started shipping Office 365, the Cloud Computing version of Microsoft Office) as they see new upstarts challenging them by giving away the software free to gain traction. Faced with the double whammy of a paradigm shift and dwindling revenues, Software companies are moving quickly to offer a version of their product on the Cloud. But where do they begin?
A lot of planning needs to go into how the product will be deployed on the Cloud. Perhaps one of the most significant aspects is the ability to measure Web Application Performance. The customer base is used to the software run fast and smooth when launched from their local storage but how will this translate to a Cloud based version? Even a 20% slowdown can turn your loyal customer away, never to return!

Tenth U.S. Cavalry
The front page of newspapers across the country on April 1, 1903 featured a lead story of President Theodore Roosevelt's planned campaign tour of the western United States. The tour would encompass twenty-two states and two territories over the span of sixty-six days covering 14,000 miles.
The presidential train would leave Washington and head toward Yellowstone through Chicago. After a time in Yellowstone the entourage would turn south-east to St. Louis and then travel the southern Union Pacific route through Nebraska and Colorado to California.
At every stop, adequate security had to be arranged, the local band, veterans, firemen and police force readied, parade routes had to be determined and streets and sidewalks cleared and decorated.
This stereograph shows the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry awaiting the arrival of Roosevelt's train at Crawford, Nebraska. The 10th Cavalry provided security during several of Roosevelt's stops. Stereograph circa 1903.

For my birthday this past January, a friend bought me a book called Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge by Mark Yarm. It's a collection of stories told through interviews with the folks involved in the creation of the Seattle scene all those years ago. The stories come from band members, club owners, press members, booking agents, sound guys, and kids who just hung around the clubs. Mostly anecdotal stuff, stories about rock shows and getting high in the parking lot before hand.
Having entered adolescence in the early 90's, the music of Seattle and Olympia played a huge role in the development of my musical tastes, so the book felt like a great chance for a stroll down memory lane. But as I got further into it, with its stories of how The U-Men once got shut down for setting fire to a lake in front of their stage at the Bumbershoot Festival or the time Mark Arm, singer of Green River, finished a set swinging from a fluorescent ceiling light over a crowd of sweaty kids, I began to get more and more pissed off.
I'll explain. Around the same time I got the book, I'd been trolling the blogs for the ubiquitous end-of-year top 10 albums, and time after time the lists I found would have made dry toast seem fucking electrifying. Here's an example from an actual blog that I won't name to protect the utterly boring.
- 01: Of Monsters and Men – My Head is an Anima
- 02: The Lumineers – The Lumineers
- 03: John Samson – Provincial
- 04: Mumford and Sons – Babel
- 05: Sufjan Stevens – Silver and Gold
- 06: The Walkmen – Heaven
- 07: Beach House – Bloom
- 08: Matt & Kim – Lightning
- 09: fun. – Some Nights
- 10: Jack White – Blunderbuss
Seriously? This is the best 2012 had to offer? Beach House? Mumford and Sons? fun.? Number 5 on the list is a Christmas album for Christ's sake. And this is from a reputable indie blog. (And yes, I know The Lumineers are a beloved Denver band made good, so don't write me letters about it). But honestly, when did all the skinny jeaned, fedora clad 20 somethings of the world decide to get together and completely fucking neuter music? It's like a whole movement of eunuchs out there walking around with synths and tambourines.
I'm so exhausted by this generation of watered-down, vaguely 60's or vaguely folk, mid-tempo, non-offensive, cutesy indie music. When I was 16 or 22 I wanted to break shit. I was pissed off at an unjust world, at the indignities of high school, at my parents, at that ever-present dude who grabbed my ass at rock shows (I'm still pissed off at that dude, by the way). I don't get it, these kids grew up in a post 911, Patriot Act world where they will likely never make as much money as their parents or pay off their student debt and yet all they want to do is grow a beard, play the banjo, and hold hands. What the fuck?
This can be blamed, to some degree, on the rise of the music blog. I realize the irony of writing that on a music blog, but it is the reality all the same. The Internet has created a space in which every journalism-major with an ironic t-shirt and a laptop has the power to shape popular culture. It doesn't matter that he doesn't know who Brian Jones is or that he's never listened to a T-Rex album all the way through. It makes no difference that he can't identify anything in the Talking Heads' catalogue besides Burning Down the House. You can't see this person, you've never met him, and you have no idea if he has any credibility whatsoever, and yet, you're letting him dictate your musical tastes to you. For all you know this kid spent his high school years listening to Linkin Park while trolling the web for date-rape porn. He may have been a Juggalo until he was 18 when he discovered The Postal Service through some girl he had the hots for. You don't know.
Blogs have created a structure in which the handful of kids writing for the elite establishment like Pitchfork or Stereogum choose whatever unoriginal crap they like that week and all the little blogs fall in line. They are all so busy jumping on each other's bandwagons, nobody has bothered to notice their wagon train has been driving in a circle for roughly a decade now.
I say fuck the blogs. Stop reading them (except for this one). Lets go back to doing what we used to do. Hanging out at record stores, going to shows, talking to actual people about what they're listening to. And stop buying singles from bands who put more energy into their hair cuts than they put into their songwriting, for fuck's sake. (I'm looking at you fun.)
There is a reason why bands like Nirvana took over the world in 1991 and why the new generation hasn't been able to recreate that energy. Nirvana came out of a small, tight-knit community of people who went to each other's shows, played in each other's bands and created a sound though collaboration and an authentic desire to make art that mattered to them. They did this for no one but themselves, with no hope of achieving fame in a city that didn't even exist as far as the industry was concerned.
In 1992, when Donita Sparks of L7 pulled out her tampon and threw it at the crowd at the Reading Festival, she didn't do it to create a YouTube sensation or to make a Pitchfork top 10 list. She did it in a moment of genuine defiance and frustration at a crowd flinging mud onstage. She knew what was between her legs and she wasn't afraid to use it. And by that, I don't mean a bloody tampon; I mean a serious pair of balls. She had more balls than the members of Fleet Foxes can ever hope to have. And that kids, is what rock and roll is all about.
