Trouble in paradise for one of the most creative festival series out there...
[All Tomorrow's Parties founder Barry] Hogan admitted last year that ticket sales for the early-summer ATP events had declined in recent years, when he announced that moving forward his company would focus on its December holiday camp events, the city-based I'll Be Your Mirror mini-festivals and more conventional tours. More recently he announced that ATP would be working with Pontins again on its holiday camp events, ending a six year partnership with Butlins, which with hindsight was likely due to the festival company tackling financial problems.For those of you who speak legal-ese, you can check out details on their reorganization here.
Hogan incorporated a new company at the end of May, called Willwal Ltd, and it is now listed as promoter of future ATP events, meaning that up coming tours and festivals being advertised by the firm will still go ahead. On Twitter last night, Team ATP wrote: "To address the rumours some of you may have seen; there are some changes currently happening with the company, but none of the currently scheduled events or future events will be affected".-[Unlimited CMU]
ATP I'll Be Your Mirror takes place in Asbury Park, NJ from September 21 - 23 and features Afghan Whigs, Make-Up, Mark Lanegan, Dirty Three, Hot Snakes, Antlers, The Roots, and recent addition I Break Horses (but not Death Grips) and will continue as planned. No word on thus far unannounced events, but may well throw a wrench into things. A statement is due from the festival soon, pushed back from earlier today.

Codeine back in the '90s
Tonight marks the NYC return of Codeine, the highly influential 90s slowcore giants that released two beloved LPs and an EP before fizzling out in 1994. The band, now on tour, will play its first show in NYC in 18+ years at Bell House and tickets are still available. If you can't make it, don't miss them at LPR on July 15th (tickets).
Codeine's collective works have been reissued on in a fan-friendly format via The Numero Group (order yours). In celebration, I chatted via email with Stephen Immerwahr and John Engle about the reunion, their intentions, and where the darkness comes from. Read it below.

I Break Horses are coming back to America for a September tour that concludes with their previously-announced appearance at this year's All Tomorrow's Parties in Asbury Park, NJ. There's no NYC date proper as of now, but something on either side of ATP wouldn't be unexpected. Hopefully we will get a show here, because I Break Horses headlining NYC debut at Mercury Lounge last month was less than ideal, as Maria Lindén was sick as a dog and only played a five-song set. (She greeted the crowd with, "I am very ill, I just threw up all over the dressing room.") Rest up, Maria!
All tour dates are listed below, along with a video for IBH's collaboration with CSLSX, "Violent Sea."

Death Grips (did not cancel) Coachella 2012 (more by David Andrako)
Music Hall of Williamsburg has officially listed Death Grips' upcoming Brooklyn show as cancelled, and even ATP, whose NJ event isn't until the fall has written, "Death Grips announced this weekend that they are cancelling all future live performances. Sadly this includes the planned shows at I'll Be Your Mirror London & New Jersey and at the Primavera Sound events. We apologise to those that are disappointed by the band's cancellation."
Still no new messages from the band who surprised everyone on Friday with a vague "there are no longer any scheduled shows" message. The first show they missed was the Sacramento Electronic Music Festival on Saturday.
In other ATP NJ news, their headliner and curator just announced a Bowery Ballroom show.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor in Brooklyn in 2011 (more by Greg Cristman)
Coachella and Pitchfork Fest aren't the only festivals Godspeed You! Black Emperor are playing this year. They'll be at one much closer to NYC, as they are the most recently confirmed addition to ATP I'll Be Your Mirror NJ. They'll be playing on Sunday (9/23) (curated by ATP) along with The Make-Up, Hot Snakes, Death Grips, I Break Horses, and more. Tickets are on sale now.

DOWNLOAD:Dirty Three - Rising Below (MP3)
In 2012, the sagacious Australian instrumental trio Dirty Three are awakening after seven years of inactivity. But that isn't to say Warren Ellis, Jim White, and Mick Turner have sat and idled since releasing their 2005 effort Cinder. While Ellis lent his searing violin work and gutteral, post-industrial guitar squelches to Nick Cave's Bad Seeds and Grinderman, repsectively, White and Turner continued recording moody jams as the Tren Brothers, also lending their rustic virtuousity to the touring lineups and records of artists like Cat Powers, Bill Callahan, and PJ Harvey.
Which brings us to Dirty Three's latest album, Toward the Low Sun. The record is out officially this Tuesday (2/28) via Drag City, and will be supported by a slew of Australian dates throughout March (including the band's first visit to the Sydney Opera House).(Whether Ellis will shave for the fancy gig or not is to be seen). NPR is streaming the full album. Download the first single, "Rising Below" above. The cover art is pictured below.
The band also announced their participation in a premier UK musical event, No Direction Home Festival, a spiritual counterpart to England's End of the Road Festival (which the Dirty Three are also playing this year that was developed by the same creative team. Situated on the fringes of Sherwood Forest, No Direction Home hopes to provide a relatively subdued and intimate alternative to mega-fests like Glastonbury, and features a cinema, literature venue, and various hands-on workshops for invidiuals and families alike in addition to their two sound stages.
But before Dirty Three tackles those English festivals, they're slated to play All Tomorrow's Parties' I'll Be Your Mirror UK event in May, the first of two ATP sets on their schedule. Curated by Mogwai (who just announced their own festival appearance), the London gig will also include performances by Slayer playing the entirety of Reign in Blood, The Afghan Whigs, Melvins, Sleep, Mudhoney, Codeine, and Yuck.
The recently reunited Afghan Whigs will then head to Asbury Park, NJ in September for frontman Greg Dulli's curated I'll Be Your Mirror, with Dirty Three in tow. The Whigs will headline the event, which also features The Roots, Jose Gonzalez, The Antlers, and Sharon Van Etten, among others. These two shows aren't Dirty Three's first foray with ATP, having curated their own lineup in 2007 with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds headlining. Cave returned the favor with his own 2009 curation, having the trio perform their 1998 Steve Albini-produced LP Ocean Songs at an ATP in Australia. They also played it at ATP NY the same year.
Tickets to ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in NJ are ON SALE NOW.
Dirty Three dates are listed below...

Actually you don't need to wait until Monday. Tickets are on pre-sale now for the just-announced ATP NJ lineup (password: AfghanWhigs2012).
ATP I'll Be Your Mirror NJ -- initial 2012 lineup (Louis CK, Make-Up, Mark Lanegan, Dirty Three, Hot Snakes, Antlers, Roots, more!)
They say:
ATP are very pleased to confirm our return to Asbury Park, New Jersey USA with a new I'll Be Your Mirror event, the Saturday night of which will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs (who have reunited after a 13 year hiatus) and curated by their frontman Greg Dulli. Formed in 1986, the bands career from then until 2001 saw them release six critically acclaimed albums during their career. Fusing classic rock with grunge-era distortion and a heavy soul influence, The Afghan Whigs were one of the most renowned live bands of their time and ATP is excited to be a part of this long awaited reformation.Tickets, which were slightly delayed from original estimates, go on sale Monday at 10am (but are on PRESALE NOW). Initial lineup below...
We are also very excited to present Grammy Award winner LOUIS C.K. (handpicked by Greg Dulli) who will be making a rare festival appearance, the fantastic THE ROOTS, JOSE GONZALEZ, a show from the reformed THE MAKE-UP and many others, see below for full line-up confirmed so far.
After previous years in upstate New York, ATP moved to the iconic Asbury Park waterfront in 2011 for a hugely successful I'll Be Your Mirror event co-curated and headlined by Portishead, and we are very happy to return to this very special location in September. The Convention Hall has seen the likes of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Rolling Stones grace its stage and the Paramount Theatre has welcomed stars such as Tony Bennett who often insists on playing a song with all the electrics turned off to demonstrate the amazing acoustics of the room. Once again the ATP experience will be taking over the boardwalk, with the main shows taking place at the Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre, and other events happening at the Berkeley hotel (former home of Johnny Cash).
As well as the live music line-up of 35+ acts across the weekend, Friday will feature a Comedy stage, and we're very pleased to announce that our friends at The Criterion Collection will return to run the Cinema across the weekend. All three days feature DJs and other activities to be confirmed in the months ahead. Performances take place indoors with great soundsystems, so you have no need to worry about the weather, and Asbury Park is easily accessible via public transport from nearby cities.

From ATP:
Our initial estimate for going on-sale with I'll Be Your Mirror New Jersey was early-mid January, and we'd like to thank you for your patience during the slightly longer than expected waiting period.In unrelated, but related news, did you know that a restaurant called Kutsher's opened in Tribeca?
We can now confirm tickets will go on sale and the start of the line-up will be announced next week.
DOWNLOAD: Lower Dens - "Brains" (MP3)
The National have announced that they're headlining and curating at ATP in Minehead UK, which is happening from December 7-9, 2012. So far, in addition to The National, the lineup (not very surprisingly) includes Sharon Van Etten (who plays the sold out Mercury Lounge tonight), My Brightest Diamond, Wye Oak, Megafaun, The Antlers, Buke and Gase (FKA Buke and Gass), Lower Dens, Owen Pallett, Boris, Tim Hecker, Kronos Quartet, Suuns< and Dark Dark Dark. More artists TBA. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/20) at 2 PM.
Maybe this lineup will shed some light on the bands Aaron and Bryce Dessner will be choosing when they curate BAM in May.
ATP's NJ festival happens in September and is being curated by Greg Dulli.
Speaking of Lower Dens, they've just revealed plans to release a followup to their 2010 debut LP, Twin-Hand Movement. The new album, titled Nootropics, will be out April 30 via the Domino affiliate label Ribbon Music. Grab the fast paced lead single, "Brains," at the top of this post and stream it below. Also below is the album artwork and tracklist.

Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
On Sunday 27th May 2012 Alexandra Palace will host the first show in 13 years from Cincinnati's rock legends THE AFGHAN WHIGS. Formed in 1986, the bands career from then until 2001 saw them release six acclaimed albums highlighted by the classic Gentlemen LP in 1993. Fusing classic rock with grunge-era distortion and a heavy soul influence, Afghan Whigs were one of the most renowned live bands of their time and this long awaited reformation will no doubt be a very special event.The second year of ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park will take place September 21st-23rd...
ATP are also pleased to confirm their return to Asbury Park, New Jersey USA where they will follow last year's debut in that city with a 2012 I'll Be Your Mirror event, the Saturday night of which will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs and curated by the Whigs' frontman Greg Dulli.
As you can see in the poster, tickets will go on sale in January. More of the lineup will also be announced at that time.
All Tomorrow's Parties' I'll Be Your Mirror UK, which just lost Guided By Voices, will host The Afghan Whigs and has moved further into the "unreal" category with additions of Wolves In The Throne Room, Yob, Dirty Three, Floor, Chavez, Balam Acab, The Oh Sees, Yuck, Archers of Loaf, Demdike Stare, and Siskiyou to appearances from Sleep, Melvins, Mogwai, Codeine and Mudhoney.
Full ATP I'll Be Your Mirror UK lineup is below.

Codeine reunited, planning US shows, playing ATP in the UK (that Slayer are also playing 'Reign In Blood' at)
On the weekend of the 25th-27th May 2012 at Alexandra Palace, London, All Tomorrow's Parties will present the second UK I'll Be Your Mirror event. Tickets are on sale via ATPFestival.com from Friday 11th November at 10am.While any festival that features Slayer playing Reign in Blood in its entirety along with Sleep & Melvins is an absolute mind-blower, the really impressive addition in this announcement is the reunion of the great Codeine! The slow-core greats passed this mortal plane in 1994 after five years as a band and the release of their final LP The White Birch for Sub Pop. The band says:
ATP are incredibly excited to announce that this year the event starts on Friday 25th May when the incomparable SLAYER will present their undisputed classic Reign In Blood live in it's entirety during their headline set to celebrate it's 25th anniversary! Released in 1986, it is widely considered one of the greatest albums of all time - in 2006 Metal Hammer named it "The best metal album of the last 20 years." Joining Slayer on Friday night are influential doom metal trailblazers SLEEP - this will be their first UK visit since reforming for two amazing ATP festival shows in 2009, and legendary Washington sludge group MELVINS, with more to be confirmed.
On Saturday 26th May, the first ever ATP festival curators MOGWAI will return to headline, and to curate the rest of the day's line-up - this will be their only show in England in 2012 and their first choices to play alongside them are another great Washington band in the form of the fantastic MUDHONEY, and playing their first shows since 1994 with their original line-up in anticipation of also re-issuing their astounding back catalogue, reformed slow-core heroes CODEINE return to the UK. More of Mogwai's choices are to be confirmed very soon.
"These are Codeine's first public performances since 1994. We are performing to celebrate the release of WHEN I SEE THE SUN - the reissues of all our music by the esteemed NUMERO GROUP, of Chicago, Illinois, coming in the spring of 2012. The 3 albums will be released as vinyl double albums, which will include compilation tracks, 4 track demos, peel sessions, and entirely heretofore unreleased songs. The six albums will also be released as a limited edition boxed set, possibly with a bonus 7-inch. Our hope is to make our music and legacy available to all who are interested. To spotlight this release, we will be performing a very limited series of concerts in the US, UK and Europe.In related news, Mogwai released multiple releases by UK's Part Chimp on their own Rock Action imprint. TONIGHT (11/9) marks the band's last ever NYC appearance (they are calling it quits after this tour) as part of a round of dates with Torche. Tickets are still available for tonight at Mercury Lounge.
Slayer played Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin on Sunday (and they got everything they needed). Pictures from their set are HERE. Their setlist is below...

Jon Spencer show rescheduled, Chavez played Fallon (video & another set of pics from their set @ ATP)

Chavez @ ATP NJ
Tonight's cancelled Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show at Maxwell's has been rescheduled for November 29th. Jon says, ""I am terribly sorry but Russell has fallen ill and been told by his doctor not to play tonight's show. The condition is not serious, and should pass, but right now Russell can not rock'n'roll. Gotta cancel the gig. Sorry for any inconvenience. The date has been rescheduled for Tuesday November 29th. Maxwell's will honor any advance tickets purchased for October 13th. If people needs refunds they can get them wherever they bought the ticket. Ticketfly will send a notice out to on-line buyers."
Speaking of 90's Matador bands, Chavez, who recently played ATP in NJ (and Lit Lounge), appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night (10/12). They played two songs (one on air, one for web). Videos of both, along with more pictures from their ATP set (setlist included), below...

I'll Be Your Mirror 2011 -- pics from ATP Sunday (Public Enemy, Company Flow, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Deerhoof, Earth & more)

Public Enemy
STEREOGUM: What appealed to you about getting involved with All Tomorrow's Parties?Before Chuck D joined fest co-curators Portishead on stage during their Sunday I'll Be Your Mirror set in Asbury Park, Public Enemy played their own set, as did reunited hip hop group Company Flow (who will play again this month as part of the Creators Project). Ultramagnetic MCs played on Saturday, as did Swans.
GEOFF BARROW: I just like that, for the most part, you wouldn't want to be there if you aren't actually into the music. It's not like Coachella where there are loads of girls walking around in bikinis and stuff like that. It's basically people enjoying what is often some really indulgent music. For us, it's like a Charlie in the Chocolate Factory moment. You win the golden ticket and you get to see how the candy is made. You get to choose the bands that play with you, which is just ... amazing. It's like, wow, yes, please.
STEREOGUM: Who in particular are you most excited about seeing?
GEOFF BARROW: We've been really lucky over the years. We've done three of these ATP festivals and it's always such a good experience. I'm always, always, always very into watching Public Enemy. Also, Ultramagnetic MCs because they are just mental and so important to hip hop. I'll also be watching Swans ... with earplugs. I want to watch everything. I want to watch as much as I possibly can.
Jeff Mangum played his second of three Asbury Park sets on Sunday (10/2), though like his Friday show, we don't have pictures of his set (he doesn't like pictures). We do have pictures of a lot of other sets from Sunday though, and they continue, along with shots of the general Asbury Park scenery (the conclusion of our ATP NJ 2011 coverage), below...

Anika in Asbury Park
"Anika, not one for small talk, has a cold stare that's really not cold at all. It creates a distance between singer and audience that works to lift the show into something distinct and not at all casual. She takes it all in while on stage, never breaking the slick veneer of the performance to let any mundane moment of realism slip through. It makes for an iconic and captivating show, comforting yet somber, since I guess some have come to expect a singer to say hello or introduce a song here and there during the night. Unnecessary chit chat isn't all it's cracked up to be, however. The dubby, meandering nature of some of the songs and her spoken-word style of singing adds to the off-kilter, experimental mood." [Sentimentalist]If you missed Anika last week at LPR or didn't have the cash to make it to see her at ATP (pictures in this post), she plays tonight - 10/6 - at Glasslands with Slowdance, Ducktails and Hard Bop before heading out on tour. If you've heard her amazing album, she definitely works that Nico/Ute Lemper vibe to the hilt -- icy icy cool. And her band, including the rhythm section of BEAK>, are fantastic. Tickets are still available, you should go to this.
More pictures from her set at ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park on Sunday, all dates and a video from LPR, below...

Chuck D on stage with Portishead @ ATP
Portishead completed their NYC & NJ adventure with a 2nd show at Hammerstein Ballroom last night (10/5), and an appearance on Fallon where they performed two songs. On air they played "Chase The Tear" which they first released in 2009 to help raise money for Amnesty International. Jimmy pointed out that you can get a new release of that single exclusively at the XL Records table at the
Brooklyn Flea Brooklyn Flea's Independent Label Market this weekend. They also played 1994 song "Mysterons" at Fallon as a web exclusive. And much to the chagrin of the groaning tourists who were trapped in their seats at the show's taping yesterday, the band actually played "Mysterons" in full twice because apparently something went wrong the first time around. You can watch the version they kept, and what aired on TV, below.
Also in this post is a set of pictures (including the setlist) from Portishead's Sunday set at ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park. As mentioned in the post of pictures from their Saturday show, Chuck D joined the band on stage during "Machine Gun" on Sunday. As not mentioned, Simeon from Silver Apples joined them on "We Carry On" to help close the show. Chuck D video HERE. Simeon video below.
Silver Apples plays Public Assembly in Brooklyn TONIGHT (10/6).
Portishead associate Anika plays Glasslands tonight.
Portishead's Adrian Utley visited Criterion Cinema while in town, and is involved in a show happening in NYC on 10/29.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
For those who experienced and loved ATP America's festivals in Monticello, NY, it may have been difficult to imagine how a change of location, from upstate New York to the New Jersey shore, could possibly improve and enhance the unique and uncanny event that it was known to be. Well, it has.---
Friday afternoon the fans, followers and leaders of All Tomorrow's Parties arrived in Asbury Park, NY, a town that only five or so years ago was known for its high crime rate and abandoned boardwalk. It's likely that this decadence, however, is precisely what draws the festival and its goers to a new spot on the map, a mere hour south of New York City. Although the rain dampened the ground here at Asbury Park, it did not extinguish the ATP fire that was sparked on stage by Chavez, Reggie Watts with his knee-slapping musical spoofs (ironically fit for a music festival), event regulars Shellac, Hannibal Buress and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, The Album Leaf and the absorbing Jeff Mangum (of Neutral Milk Hotel). -[Dossier]

Jeff Mangum played 3 shows @ Paramount Theatre, was joined by Jermey Barnes, covered other outsider musicians (setlists)
Jeff Mangum isn't on the list, but one could argue that the elusive frontman of Neutral Milk Hotel might be classifiable as an "outsider musician", much like Daniel Johnston (who he covered on Friday again) and Roky Erickson (who he covered on Sunday again). Those covers aside, Jeff's three ATP Asbury Park setlists, religous experiences for many, stuck 100% to songs he wrote.
At last night's show (Monday, 10/3), Jeff was also joined on stage for two songs by show opener A Hawk and a Hacksaw, his Neutral Milk Hotel band-mate Jeremy Barnes included. To quote one anonymous attendee, "I loved him just solo but when they came out it sounded like neutral milk hotel." It looks like we're one step closer to the full on reunion. The Neutral Milk Hotel box set is out 11/22.
Last night's setlist also included "Little Birds" which he didn't play the other two nights. Two quote wiki, it's "the only song by Neutral Milk Hotel written after the release of In the Aeroplane over the Sea of which a recorded version exists.
"It's the beginning of a story where a boy is in a not-so-nice situation. One day, little birds start to form around him in his room. They start coming into his body and he was very happy about this. But unfortunately he tries to share it with other people and they get very upset because this is something that he finds to be very beautiful but they don't find very beautiful and they want to destroy it." -Jeff MangumJeff comes even closer to and in NYC when he plays sold out shows at Town Hall on October 29th and Landmark Loew's Theatre in Jersey City on 11/6. Jeff also has a benefit show scheduled in Woodstock. No openers have been announced for those.

After leaving us hanging for over 14 years, Portishead finally returned to the east coast of the United States to play one of my personal favorite shows of all time at Asbury Park's Convention Hall as part of ATP's "I'll Be Your Mirror" on Saturday night (10/1). Unfortunately I couldn't stick around to see them do it again on Sunday (with special guest Chuck D of Public Enemy who played before them that day), but I do plan on being at one or both of the Hammerstein Ballroom shows this week to relive it again. I'll definitely watch Fallon too.
Much like Radiohead recently, Portishead's live lineup included two bald men. Like Radiohead, one of those bald men was Clive Deamer on drums (at least I think it was). The guy is keeping busy.
Jeff Mangum, who played the night before, and the two days after (including tonight) was in the audience to check out the NJ fests's co-headliner. From my seat I could see him talking to the drummer of Shellac (who also played the night before and who also plays tonight). Beth Gibbons crowdsurfed on top of that audience at the end of the amazing set.
More ATP coverage coming. For now, here are the Portishead pics from Saturday (with setlist), and a video of Chuck D joining them on "Machine Gun" on Sunday (like he did in 2008 at Primavera). It all continues below...

Shellac play their first of two sold-out shows with Helen Money at The Bell House TONIGHT (10/3), just a few days after playing ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park, NJ where Steve Albini also manned the poker tables all weekend on the 8th floor of the Berkeley Hotel.

A Hawk & a Hacksaw played Drom w/ Dark Dark Dark (pics), opened for Jeff Mangum @ Paramount Theater (do again tonight)

Dark Dark Dark / A Hawk and a Hacksaw
"Eerily soothing piano melodies, smirking accordion lines plucked from a New Orleans carnival, cloudy gang vocal harmonies, and lonely horn bleats inhabit last year's Bright Bright Bright EP and full-length Wild Go (both from Supply & Demand Music). Thus far, the catalogue of Dark Dark Dark could be mistaken for lullabies inexplicably emanating from a deserted lakeside cabin haunted by Tori Amos and Gogol Bordello . . . except that, thankfully, Amos and those affiliated with the Bordello camp are alive and well, and therefore can't haunt anything. [The Phoenix]The A Hawk and a Hacksaw (ft. Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeremy Barnes) / Dark Dark Dark / Pillars & Tongues tour came to NYC for two shows last week - 9/28 at the Bell House and 9/29 at Drom. Pictures from the latter are in this post.
A Hawk and a Hacksaw have since opened for Jeff Mangum as part of ATP at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park on Friday (9/30) and will again in the same venue tonight (10/3)...
Without a word, Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Magnum walked onto the stage of Asbury Park's gilded, enveloping Paramount Theatre Friday night and eased into "Oh Comely," staring straight ahead, singing "soft silly music is meaningful, magical." In the recorded version of that song, at the end, you can hear someone far off exclaim "holy shit!" as if startled - which is just about right.Jeff Mangum's entire Friday setlist, along with more pictures from the non-Mangum NYC show at Drom, below...
Over an hour and 15 minutes, Mangum - performing as part of the three-day ATP I'll Be Your Mirror Festival - was focused and relaxed, sitting on a chair mid-stage. He was flanked by four guitars, bathed in autumn orange lighting and looking especially solitary in the theatre's expanse. Where Bon Iver has traded up in touring accompaniment, Mangum is more at home alone - except, of course, for the rapt, capacity crowd of around 1500. [Rolling Stone]

Hello and welcome to the ATP Runoff edition of This Week in Indie. (Aka ATPTWII.) Yes the big news is the Portishead-curated All Tomorrow's Parties which is happening this year in Asbury Park, NJ which looks to be super cool. (I would like to see The Pop Group.) There are still tickets available for most of it -- it gets a little confusing what with "Three Day Jeff Magnum" passes and other variations but this column will not get into that. We're talking bands/artists who are also playing NYC shows while here. And some other stuff too.
First and foremost, for me, is Anika who is making her North American live debut tonight (9/27) at Le Poisson Rouge and tickets still seem to be available. Her debut album snuck in late last year but made my Best of 2011 with it's mix of post-punk and dub, and I've been waiting to see her live ever since. As I wrote before:
Recorded in 12 days, live with no overdubs, it sounds like the missing link between The Slits and Lilliput. Portishead's Geoff Barrow -- his other band BEAK> is the backing band here -- gets the claustrophobic vibe just right. A lot of people have tried and failed to recreate that Martin Hannett Sound... Barrow nails it. And the material -- a mix of girl group covers and politically-charged originals -- suits Anika's Nico-esque delivery perfectly.You can download two tracks at the top of this post, cover's of Yoko Ono's "Yang Yang" and obscure British girl group singer Twinkle's "Terry." Anika is here on a limited North American tour and all her dates are at the bottom of this post. Anika's live band is a 5-piece that includes two of the three members of BEAK> (Geoff Barrow is the one who doesn't play with her live).
Opening for Anika is local act Slowdance who you may remember made L Magazine's "8 Bands You Need to Hear" list and whose debut EP, Light & Color, was just released last week. It's a "name your price" download at their Bandcamp site. The whole thing is pretty good but I especially dig the opening track "Cake" which is kind of like early B-52's minus Fred Schneider but in French.
I mentioned BEAK> who, in addition to sharing members with Anika, will also be performing their own set at ATP and have also just released a split EP with Toronto's proggy, mathy DD/MM/YYYY who are playing Friday night at Cameo with like-minded noisemakers Yvette and Bambara. DD/MM/YY are on short East Coast tour while here for ATP and all dates are at the bottom of this post.
If you like DD/MM/YY or have been curious about seeing them live, you should go to this show... because they're breaking up at the end of October and the Cameo show is their last NYC show before doing so. I last saw them at M for Montreal two years ago, where I wrote:
Also impressive live are Toronto's DD/MM/YYYY who have clearly gotten much tighter than the last time I saw them (Don Pedro's, like three years ago). It's proggy-mathy, but bordering on chaos too. I'm not that crazy about their records -- a little too much going on at one time for my poppier tastes -- but I'd go see them again, no question.Don't get too sad about them calling it quits, as four of the five are regrouping under the name Absolutely Free and will make their live debut at M for Montreal this year.
Factory Floor
More ATPTWII action: London trio Factory Floor play two NYC shows this week: tomorrow (9/28) at Knitting Factory with Apache Beat and FAN-TAN, and then Thursday (9/29) at Mercury Lounge with fellow Londoners Walls.
Factory Floor get a lot of Joy Division comparisons and JD/New Order drummer Stephen Morris is a fan, remixing last year's "Wooden Box" single. But apart from looking sad in their press shots, Factory Floor are more in the minimal wave camp with drone and repetition being their weapons of choice. Their new single "(R E A L L O V E)" is basically a goth/industrial/techno/Krautrock ode to Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroder's "I Feel Love" and is pretty awesome.
The band's next release will be on DFA in November. Judging from live clips on YouTube (like them performing "(R E A L L O V E)" at Rough Trade which you can watch below), Factory Floor are intense live and you might want to rearrange your show schedule to see them.
The Soft Moon
And rounding out the ATP-related shows are San Francisco's The Soft Moon who were supposed to be opening for Mogwai (who had to cancel) but will now play 285 Kent on Saturday (10/1) with White Ring and Beige (video flyer below), and the Wierd Party next Wednesday (10/5). Their new EP, Total Decay, is out on Halloween via Captured Tracks and you can download a track from it (and one from their debut album) at the top of this post. If you like '80s 4AD goth (Clan of Xymox, Xmal Deutchland) you're probably already going.
Veronica Falls
Speaking of goth, in a totally different way we've got Veronica Falls in town for two shows: tonight (9/27) at Glasslands and tomorrow (9/28) at Pianos. Their debut, out last week on Slumberland, is one of my favorite albums of the year so far. I wrote about it over at Sound Bites which I will quote here:
The band get the C-86 tag a lot but, apart from The Velvet Underground (which has inspired 95% of all indiepop), New Zealand seems to be a bigger influence anyway. "Misery" and current single "Bad Feeling" could both be Bats songs. (The Verlaines are a clear influence too, and I bet someone in the band loves The Chills' "Pink Frost.") But this is not a band you really sit around playing "spot the influence" to, as you're too busy swooning to the gorgeous melodies and Roxanne Clifford's truly lovely voice.When I said "goth" above, I mean more in an old school romance kind of way. Love and death, often intertwined. If you're on Spotify you can listen to the album here. They're great live, do go see them. Tonight's Glasslands show is with German Measles, Tanks Amigo and Darlings; the Pianos show is entirely TWII-endorsed, with McDonalds, Heaven's Gate and The Hairs.
There's not a dud in Veronica Falls' 36 minute running time. New songs ("Misery," "Bad Feeling," the effervescent "The Box") are equals to early singles "Found Love in a Graveyard" and "Beachy Head" which appear here in newly recorded versions that might actually improve on the original versions.
Mikal Cronin
Ty Segall plays Bowery Ballroom on Thursday (9/29) and we've given him a lot of love over the last few years. He's awesome. If you're going, do get there early and see opener Mikal Cronin who plays in Ty's band and used to front Charlie & the Moonhearts. I liked the Moonhearts just fine, but playing with Ty seems to have done wonders. Mikal's self-titled LP on Trouble in Mind (produced by Ty) is far and away the best thing he's ever done, is one of my albums of the year, and I like it more than Segall's Goodbye Bread to be honest.
The album has great song after great song, killer hooks and harmonies -- SoCal garagey surf-pop at it's finest. You can download two tracks from the album at the top of this post.
Total Slacker
Friday is the last night of Monster Island Basement and the DIY venue is going out a big show featuring Regal Degal, Total Slacker, La Big Vic, Hume and Royal Baths. It's the record release party for Total Slacker's debut album, Thrashin', which got a 6.7 on Pitchfork today:
Total Slacker's sense of humor is the album's driving force, and it's both overt and weirdly specific. The lyrics, for the most part, are a goofy celebration of the slacker caricature. Between the references to weed and various snack foods, and the record's languid pace, Rountree perpetuates the archetypal slacker character with his nasal whine. The track "Thyme Traveling High School Dropout", for example, is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-style branding for a guy who goes back to the 18th century because marijuana isn't illegal then. And the title "Stealing From Salvation Army" says it all-- he plans on doing just that after he wakes up in the afternoon. That's pretty much the whole album. Thrashin' largely depends on buying into that character and thinking it's funny, or at least interesting, for 40 minutes.With Total Slacker's propensity for instrument-destroying, this last night at Monster Island could be a doozy.
And finally, Minneapolis band Howler are playing their first NYC shows this week: Thursday (9/29) at Glasslands and Friday opening for Tapes n' Tapes at Bowery Ballroom. The band just signed with Rough Trade who put out their EP, This One's Different, not too long ago. They're getting more UK press than here in the States. NME gave the EP 8/10 saying:
Howler are musical pizza. They're not a band you define yourself by. They're a band you dance to. Which is not to say that Howler are stupid, or people who like Howler are stupid. They just don't feel the need to prove that they're clever.Everybody likes Pizza, right? The review goes on to make a Razorlight comparison, so this pie must have extra cheese. You can download a Howler track at the top of this post.
The title of this first EP by Rough Trade's most recent signings is both misleading and spot on. There's nothing much different about these Minneapolis boys at all, with their sexy bedhead hair, skinny limbs and small-child-romping-at-a-family-wedding goofy energy. Their bratty guitar pop is as familiar as skin, but also as warm and lovable. But then, how many flat, formulaic takes on this same sound are also-running around out there? Howler are different because they make commonplace components fly with a brilliant nonchalance.
And that's the big stuff for this week. Slightly smaller stuff is below, day-by day:
Portland duo Viva Voce are at Mercury Lounge tonight. They don't get enough attention -- apart from just being two of them there's no "angle" per se, besides good songs and great musicianship -- and their new album The Future Will Destroy You is pretty good.
Reptar, Savoir Adore at the Neon Gold TV launch party at Tammany Hall. Tickets are $5 in advance, $10 at the door.
Somebody is playing Roseland tonight, can't remember who.

I know for a fact that
Dev Bootcamp accelerated
my learning by about
1-2 years.
Natasha Murashev, Summer '12 Cohort
Software Engineer at Manilla
We do our best to help make this affordable for everyone. Check these resources on how to pay for Dev Bootcamp or see if you qualify for any of our scholarship discounts.
I qualify for scholarship.
You qualify for a $500 scholarship if you're female, a veteran of the U.S. Military, or from an ethnic minority group underrepresented in the software engineering field (African American, Chicano/Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander). The tech world is notoriously unrepresentative of the larger population. We believe that the sooner that changes, the better off we all are.

I know for a fact that
Dev Bootcamp accelerated
my learning by about
1-2 years.
Natasha Murashev, Summer '12 Cohort
Software Engineer at Manilla
I was having a hard time getting a firm grasp on programming on my own, but knew it was something I wanted to do. Dev Bootcamp seemed to be exactly what I needed - a passionate, collaborative environment that focused on learning by doing. I was also hoping to leverage this experience to live/work abroad. The program far exceeded my expectations. A few months later, I find myself in Paris, starting my first job as a web developer with a great team, more excited than ever about what's to come. I love this stuff.
– Mack McConnell, Fall '12 Cohort
I attended DevBootcamp with the goal of being able to work on the products that I love, with the people I've aspired to work with, and Dev Bootcamp has delivered both in the last three months. In addition to the flurry of job interview requests from the very companies I admire, I've come out with knowledge of a world I was completely unaware of before: the nuances of technical implementation that runs "under the hood" of all web applications. It's a new landscape I'm bound to explore extensively in the future.
– Janet Chang, Fall '12 Cohort
Despite earning 3 degrees, I wasn't making the money I needed to support my family. I really couldn't afford to go back for another degree from a money or opportunity cost standpoint. At Dev Bootcamp, not only did I learn to write good code in 10 weeks, but the skills I learned around coding — pairing and communication — were specifically listed as the reasons that I received multiple, strong job offers. These are skills that I wouldn't have learned in a traditional educational environment and at a pace that worked for me and my family.
– Jeffrey Matthias, Fall '12 Cohort
I don't think it's possible to learn on one's own what I learned at Dev Bootcamp, regardless of the time spent. Dev Bootcamp's emphasis on collaborative projects and paired programming have given me skills that are invaluable in the workplace: I know what it takes to meet a ship date, how to code alongside another person, and collaborate with a team of developers possessing a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. My code improved tremendously at Dev Bootcamp, but these latter skills will make all the difference wherever I go next.
– Jeff Smith, Fall '12 Cohort
After 3 years into my career as a chemist, I decided it was time for a change. I didn't like the repetitive nature of my work so I wanted to learn how to program. I was having trouble staying positive whenever I was stuck learning a concept. I knew I needed help. One day I read about DBC and knew it was the perfect opportunity. DBC taught me more than just how to write code. I learned how to work well in a team and how to resolve conflicts.Anyone who goes through DBC will definitely be surprised by how much they actually learn in such a short amount of time.
– Scott Chiang, Fall '12 Cohort
On my second Monday at my new job, I realized that I could do it. I was learning a ton and being exposed to code and concepts I'd never encountered before, but I knew, without a doubt, that I could do it, and that I loved it.
On my first day at Dev Bootcamp, I realized that the program is about so much more than just learning to code. For me, it was about finding fulfilment in craftsmanship and the ability to produce, and developing a deeper sense of connection with myself and my peers.
– Mike Riess, Fall '12 Cohort
Dev Bootcamp has simply changed my entire life. Three months ago I was a working in spreadsheets all day everyday, feeling as if every morsel of creativity and self-expression was being ground out of me. Now, I have an expanse of options and opportunities available to me, each one being a chance to solve real and complex problems and make an impact on the world. In fifty years, when I look back on what I've accomplished, I'll know the exact moment my life pivoted for the better.
– Phil Aquilina, Summer '12 Cohort
I came into DevBootCamp looking to become just good enough at programming to build prototypes and mockups for the startup I intended to start. I left with a bonafide passion for programming, the skills to build what I wanted to (and a LOT more), and a wonderful network of friends, mentors and colleagues. I expected to learn how to program at DBC, but I didn't expect to learn even close to as much as I did or to have had so much fun with such great people along the way.
– Austin Wang, Summer '12 Cohort
Often in life things sound really great beforehand and then turn out to be less than promised or expected. Dev Bootcamp turned out to be much much better than I had hoped for. I came in looking for an environment that would engage and push me everyday. This was delivered big time.
It was pretty much the best, most compact learning experience of my life. I wish they'd offer intermediate and advanced courses, I'd do one every year.
– David Ladowitz, Summer '12 Cohort

James, Owner operator of Middle Fork River Expeditions
We bought The River Rat by TravelChair last July for the purpose of using them commercially for our rafting company and we have had no break downs of any chairs our first season. With our old chairs clients would break about 3-4 chairs/week, so we were going through a lot of chairs. Not anymore, best river chair available hands down.
Yours for wilderness, James, Owner operator of Middle Fork River Expeditions
Dave & River Chef Sheila Ann Mills
Howdy! Our Rocky Middle Fork Canyon Salmon River Guides. Love your arm-less chairs. They look good and weigh less and are most importantly TOUGH… What I like about your chairs is the comfort and compact size yet a big a human being cannot brake them like other cheap camp chairs. Our best since 1978.
I LOVE YOU! That was a GREAT way to start my day! I REALLY REALLY appreciate all that you and your company do for us!! Please keep me updated.
Thanks and have a great day
I was at my customers location yesterday and saw the chairs. They look awesome. The imprint really turned out nice. My customer commented to me how nice they are and how pleased they are with the product. She told me they turned out even nicer than they expected. They were even delivered 2 days early.
You helped me make quite a positive impressions with my customer. Thank you for all your help with this order. Travel Chair will be my first choice for chairs in the future. And I will happily endorse your company to other Sales Reps in the future.
Thank you again for all your help.
We unloaded the container this afternoon and everything was perfect just like the experience I have had with your company all the way through the process. Hats off to you and your people in making this a very satisfying business experience.
Thank you very much…
Based on this experience I would use you again, good experiences are still the best way to build loyalty.
Yes…the order made it & I got my sample & the chairs looked FABULOUS as usual!! You were a pleasure to work with & I look forward to my next order also!!
This wasn't my first order with Travel Chair…I've done quite a few orders with you guys over the last 13 years!! …..Once we approve everything you guys get the order done quicker than I would expect & the imprint is ALWAYS perfect.
Your "Team Performance" is 11 out of 10. You know you guys do a fab job & I have NO complaints.
You guys don't need to worry about loyalty…you work for TRAVEL CHAIR…that's like working for the Rolex of chairs. There are tons of cheaper outdoor chairs in the industry but none compare to TravelChair. The name says it all!!
You guys get an A+ & if I lived in Washington I'd make you hire me!!
Great to hear from you. I always appreciate follow-up from the suppliers on my larger orders. That rarely happens and so when it does I do remember it!
Thank you for everything. I appreciate you speeding the order up without a rush charge. This is one of my biggest clients and I appreciate you guys making me look like a hero! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
Have a great day.

Tendon repair
Tendon repair is surgery to repair damaged or torn tendons.
Alternative Names
Repair of tendon
Tendon repair can be performed using:
- Local anesthesia (the immediate area of the surgery is pain-free)
- Regional anesthesia (the local and surrounding areas are pain-free)
- General anesthesia (the patient is asleep and pain-free)
The surgeon make a cut in the skin over the injured tendon. The damaged or torn ends of the tendon are sewn together.
If the tendon has been severely injured, a tendon graft may be required. In this case, a piece of tendon from the foot, toe, or another part of the body is often used. If necessary, tendons are reattached to the surrounding tissue. The surgeon examines the area to see if there any injuries to nerves and blood vessels. When complete, the wound is closed.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
The goal of tendon repair is to bring back normal function of joints or surrounding tissues following a tendon laceration.
Risks for any anesthesia include:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
Risks for any surgery include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Additional risks for tendon repair surgery include:
- Scar tissue formation that prevents smooth movements
- Partial loss of use in the involved joint
- Stiffness of the joint
After the Procedure
Tendon repairs can often be done in an outpatient setting. Hospital stays, if any, are short.
Healing may take 6 - 12 weeks. During that time the injured part may need to be kept still in a splint or cast. Typically, movement is returned gradually with therapy to protect the tendon as it heals.
Treatment after surgery is often needed to minimize scar tissue and maximize the use of the injured area.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most tendon repairs are successful with proper physical therapy, resulting in functional joint use.

... Generations Family FCU employees and members live the credit union philosophy, "People Helping People." During the holidays, GFFCU staff donated many personal care items and gifts for children, along with a check for $116 to the Underground Railroad. Hats, gloves and scarves were also donated by the staff and members. The Underground Railroad is an organization that serves residents of Saginaw County who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. The staff and members also collected canned and nonperishable food items for the Saginaw East Side Soup Kitchen. The soup kitchen provides nutritious meals for those in the community who otherwise would not have a hot meal, and to children at the after-school centers who would go without dinner. Marketing Coordinator Cyndy Bellaver said the credit union's people enjoy helping. "The employees and members at GFFCU are always very generous when helping others in the community," she said.
.. The eighth annual Credit Union Dodgeball Tournament is set for Saturday, April 13, starting at 3 p.m. Anyone interested in playing or forming a team can contact organizer Bill Marrison at LAFCU. "we use no-sting dodgeballs (vinyl covered foam balls), not the rubber balls that so many of you have nightmares about from junior high gym class," Marrison said. Sponsored by the Lansing Chapter and Master Media Supply, the tournament will be at The Soccer Zone in Lansing, 4900 Contec Drive Lansing. Cost is $100 per team with proceeds going to Child and Family Charities in Lansing. The tournament is limited to 32 teams. Contact Marrison at email@example.com.

A Giving Tree was placed in every MSUFCU branch in November 2012 with gift tags available for selection, each printed with an individual child's wish list. MSUFCU members had the option to select a gift tag from the Giving Tree and purchase some of the suggested gifts or to make a monetary donation. MSUFCU staff members volunteered their time to shop for the remaining presents. Sixty children from MSU's University Housing and 94 children from Child and Family Charities received gifts from their holiday wish lists. Five children from the Auburn Hills Firefighters Helping Hands program received gifts, and a check for more than $1,100 was also presented to this organization.

We have fish and chips, which W. and I fetch from the shop in Settle market-place. Some local boys come in and there is a bit of chat between them and the fish-fryer about whether the kestrel under the counter is for sale.Only when I mention it to W. does he explain Kestrel is now a lager. I imagine the future is going to contain an increasing number of incidents like this, culminating with a man in a white coat saying to one kindly, "And now can you tell me the name of the Prime Minister?"Alan Bennett

Chicago Steak Company Review
Filet Mignon Raw
We started our Chicago Steak Company reviews with the filet mignon that came in the gift box. It was perfectly hand trimmed. We would tend to order larger sizes, but this one was tasted great.
Filet Mignon Cooked
Charred on the outside and deliciously pink in the center, our Filet Mignon was tender and juicy. We had no problem eating both of them as one serving, so we would suggest you get a bunch.
With fast delivery in custom packaging, your steaks are guaranteed on time and there are even options for free delivery. The selection at Chicago Steak Company goes far beyond steaks, as well. From rotisserie roasted beef, ham, and turkey to an assortment of cheesecakes, you can be sure to complete each element of gourmet your home dining experience.
Chicago Steak Company sets itself apart from other frozen food delivery services by providing USDA Prime beef. Hand selected, hand cut, and wet or dry aged, each Chicago Steak Company cut is individually registered. The individual wrapping and registration are designed to insure freshness and high quality. Overall, we found the quality of their beef to be above average.
Chicago Steak Company Review
Top Sirloin Steaks Raw
This is one of our favorite steaks because of its rich flavor and economical price. One of our came split, which almost came apart when it was grilled. It was still quite tasty, and we would order it again.
Top Sirloin Steaks Cooked
These steaks can come in any size and shape, and ours certainly did. We grilled to a perfect 140 degrees and it wasn't as juicy as the Filet Mignon, but it did have a robust flavor.
NY Strip and Ribeye Steaks Raw
The two premium steaks that came with our gift box were the NY Strip and the Ribeye. The Ribeye was a little on the thin side for our liking, but larger sizes are available.
Ribeye Steak Cooked
When these steaks are thin, it can be a challenge not to overcook them. We didn't, but we would have to say this was our least favorite steak that came with our gift box.
NY Strip Steak
The NY Strip was our favorite steak that came with in gift box. It was the perfect size and plenty thick to char the outside and keep the inside nice and pink and juicy. We would order this steak again.
Top Sirloin Filets
These are a great steak to have around for value and flavor. No one cuts them better than Chicago Steak Company. We found these on sale, so load up. Go with the biggest size they have. Yum City on a budget!

10 Winter Health Myths Exposed
Separate fact from fiction when it comes to cold-weather wellness
By Sarah Jio
Myth #10: You cant get allergies in the winter months.
In the winter, theres good and bad news for allergy sufferers, says Dr. Verret: If you have pollen allergies, they will be better in the winter, but if you're sensitive to indoor allergens, such as pet dander or dust mites, your allergies may be even worse. So although your sneezing and sniffling may not be from seasonal culprits, your indoor allergies could be more bothersome than usual.

"Voluntary compliance" is Orwellian double-speak used by Governor Snyder and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to describe the situation where farmers shoot their whole herd of heritage breed pigs out of fear of becoming a felon and being thrown in jail.
"After 8 guys, 3 four-wheelers, and 4 hours, DNR decided I was correct. I have killed all my hogs. They gave me papers that say I do not have any hogs on my property. All they saw were dead hogs laying around from my mass slaughtering. It took 12 guys 4 times in there to kill all of them, sows with young, pregnant sows, dozens of piglets, and old mature boars. It has been a sad few weeks." - Dave Tuxbury, Deer Tracks Ranch
Snyder's DNR is doing this because of an Invasive Species Order it issued, declaring it a felony to raise heritage breed pigs for food.
Snyder's DNR has thrown the Fourth Amendment out the window. Without warrants, they are demanding access to private property for the purpose of killing their livestock, without a drop of compensation.
That these same "public servants" can bust into people's homes, terrorize their children, kill their pets, shackle their persons, and destroy personal property on the flimsiest of pretexts is repellent to anyone placing even a modest value on the word liberty.
There is only one thing that will stop a bureaucrat with guns: Pressure on the boss (Governor Snyder) and the purse (the legislature).
May 15th is the filing deadline for defenders of liberty to become precinct delegates. Precinct delegates, as a body, control the political parties. This confers great leverage over the politicians.
But as always, politics is about numbers, and we need everyone engaged to have the numbers we need to prevail.
Don't miss this opportunity to become a precinct delegate and participate in one of the easiest ways to increase your political clout.
It will take substantial political pressure to stand up to the factory farms. That's why we are asking you to take the following actions:
- Go to milibertydelegates.com and take the pledge to get involved and become a precinct delegate. Just click on the link at the top to "Take the Pledge".
- Click here to sign the petition demanding that this madness be stopped.
Governor Snyder will certainly proceed to give you his list of excuses for his tyrannical actions. These excuses are worded to sound valid to folks unfamiliar with the issue, but when evaluated against fact, become pure fantasy.
Governor Snyder will say that the swine are a significant threat.
The reality is that these swine are not taking over our state and are rarely encountered. Testimony presented to the Michigan Senate Agriculture Committee on March 29 revealed that less than 50 feral swine were killed in Michigan in 2011; in contrast, 140,000 deer were killed in the state during that time.
Governor Snyder will lie to you and tell you that only certain type of swine are prohibited. He uses the term Sus scrofa Linnaeus.
Close examination of the wording of the ISO reveals that it outlaws the entire pig species, then makes an exception for pigs involved in "domestic hog production" which is not defined in the order.
State law defines domestic animals as "those species of animals that live under the husbandry of humans." Yet Governor Snyder's DNR has used a different definition that includes every pig in the state, then carves out an exception for confined factory farming.
This is why we cannot let Governor Snyder fulfill his agenda to eliminate heritage breed pigs from the marketplace and give a monopoly on pigs to the factory farms. Please take the following actions today:
- Go to milibertydelegates.com and take the pledge to get involved and become a precinct delegate. Just click on the link at the top to "Take the Pledge".
- Click here to sign the petition demanding that this madness be stopped.
In Liberty,
Tony DeMott
State Coordinator
Michigan Campaign For Liberty
P.S. Please forward this to your friends and family. It is important that we spread the word immediately before some farmer ends up in jail or worse.
P.P.S. Click here to sign the petition now and help us send a message to those who would steal our Liberty!

How condensation is warming your beeron May 2, 2013 @ 10:41 am (Updated: 9:59 am - 5/3/13 )
More Photos
See all photos
It won't take long for those little condensation droplets to form on the outside of your favorite can or bottle when it heats up, but those drops don't just make the can or bottle slippery, they warm your drink and a lot more than you might think.
University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences Professor Dale Durran actually did the math. "It's 9 degrees Fahrenheit," Durran said. "It's very counter-intuitive that just a hair's width of water condensing on the outside edge of a 12-ounce can would be enough to raise its temperature 9 degrees Fahrenheit, if that heat all went into the can."
Here's the science. When the water vapor condenses on the can and turns from a vapor back into a liquid, that transformation releases heat. That's where the warming comes from.
But Professor Durran wasn't done. He wanted to know if the warming varied by temperature or humidity. He and fellow UW Professor Dargan Frierson started experimenting, first using a small UW bathroom. But they soon realized they needed something a little more sophisticated. "We discovered an old environmental chamber way back in the basement of the Atmospheric Sciences Building that dated from the 60's," he said. "It was perfect."
Professor Durran enlisted some help and started running all the variables in a series of experiments. "It turns out that in very moist conditions the condensation in the can heats that can more than twice as fast as in the very dry conditions," he said. "The condensation is doing a lot to heat your cold beer up on a very hot, muggy day."
Think of it this way: Your can of Coors Light heated up much faster while tailgating at LSU a few years ago than it did when the Tigers visited Seattle.
On a humid day in Saudi Arabia, Professor Durran said a 12-ounce can of beer can warm 16 degrees in 5 minutes from condensation alone.
He and his team only tested cans and not bottles. "We're not really doing beer-warming research, even if that's a disappointment some," he joked. "We thought the example was dramatic enough."
He said bottles would warm up a little slower because glass is denser than aluminum.
You're probably wondering why Professor Durran went down this path, since he admits he's not studying beer warming. He is studying condensation in the atmosphere and how it applies to weather and climate change.
And he thought this rather relatable experiment would be a good way to teach others about his research and get students to understand better why weather behaves the way it does.
