When is a toy more than a toy? When it helps bring a community together through the joyful process of making low-impact art that beautifies a public space, of course. BLOOM, an urban toy made from recycled plastic, achieves this perfect synthesis with quiet simplicity. Equal parts recycling project, distributed social game, and collective "gardening" experience, BLOOM encourages citizens to take an active role in creating original art.
Although BLOOM installations are often very large, they're made up of only one unique piece, which is a small "cell" that features three different connecting grooves. Similar to other toys you might have had as a kid, the cells are designed to connect to each other in a multitude of ways, allowing the formation of an infinite number of dynamic, original sculptures. By recombining three different connections in each cell, or following rhythms of repeating strings of identical connections, you can build a ring, a spiral or a distributed branch, among other things.
Aside from being a clever way to get people interested in making art, BLOOM is also a demonstration of what's possible when we collaborate. "The collective act of coming to one place and building something becomes a shared memory for each person attending," write the designers. "None of the pieces can do anything on its own, only by putting together thousands of them is when the game and the BLOOM garden emerge. The energy for BLOOM construction is sourced from people's interactions. It becomes impossible to forecast what you can do with such game!"
With such an inclusive goal, it's no surprise that the company scattered over 60,000 BLOOM cells throughout London for the Olympics.

The American West is definitely mythological terrain, perhaps even more so than ancient Greece. And no one has ripped open and laid those myths bare quite like Jim Jarmusch, in his 1995 film Dead Man. Almost two decades after its release, I chanced to watch this violent, puzzling and overwhelmingly intelligent film a second time. Intrigued, I consulted a bunch of old reviews of the movie, hoping to gain insight into its deeper meanings, but all the reviews seemed to skate nimbly across the celluloid surface, commenting on performance, cinematography, pacing and so on. But nothing about deeper meanings and unresolved questions. So I'm taking that on myself, seventeen years after the fact.
The film's time is the 1880's. Depp plays a young man from Cleveland, heading West on the train to a promised accounting job in a town called Machine, somewhere in the US southwest. The first few scenes on the train set the stage for dislocation: every time Depp wakes up from dozing off, there is a different set of passengers, each rougher and more threatening than the previous set. We're not shown what Depp sees as he looks out the train window, but he is obviously disturbed by the increasingly stark landscapes as the train heads west.
Machine turns out to be a company town, dominated by a massive, clanking metalworks run by the obviously dying Robert Mitchum (in his last film appearance). Machine-both the town and the factory-are an absolute dystopia. Depp has a brief liaison with a young woman, is wounded by her ex-lover (Mitchum's son, played by Gabriel Byrne), kills him in self-defense, and flees the town into the wilderness.
Pursued by a host of bounty hunters, Depp is rescued by Nobody, a savvy Indian played by the wonderful Gary Farmer, a Canadian native actor. That is when the real movie starts, carefully investigating the complex relationship developing between a helpless, wounded Cleveland accountant and an idiosyncratic, bush-savvy Indian. As a boy, Nobody was captured by whites and taken to England to be educated. After some years he escapes and returns to the wilds of the  American West, but not before memorizing the poetry of William Blake. Depp's character happens to be named William Blake, and Nobody tries mightily and unsuccessfully to get the Cleveland William Blake to take ownership of the poems of the English William Blake, between bouts of gunplay with the bounty hunters.
To mild-mannered Depp/Blake's surprise, he is born to killing, and dispatches the bounty hunters as they appear. But he is wounded and hallucinating; his powerful sense of dislocation is matched by the alien, exotic landscapes he and Nobody pass through. As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that Nobody is not helping Blake escape; he is taking him on a journey. The journey is a grand ecological transect of the West, from Arizona to the Olympic Peninsula. From dry sagebrush, through pinyon pine, ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir and finally, to cedar rainforest. The mortally wounded Blake begins to realize that this journey is also a transect from life to death, and that Nobody is his respectful guide. In the moving final scene, Nobody and the Makah villagers prepare and launch Blake's death canoe into the mouth of a river that flows into the Pacific Ocean. The scene was shot in Neah Bay; you can't get much farther West than that.
Nobody is the central character of Dead Man; Depp/Blake is a passive mirror. Why does Nobody take on this ruinous task of escorting Depp? Why is he committed to convincing Depp/Blake that he is the real William Blake, when he knows it is not the case? What native language is Nobody speaking, as he converses with Arizona Apaches and north coast Makahs? Why does he abandon Blake and then rejoin him, much to the displeasure of a lady friend?
The film is shot in gorgeous black and white, broken up into short scenes with momentary blank screens in between. Neil Young provides a haunting (and occasionally monotonous) guitar score. Jarmusch, who wrote and directed, gives a raft of good actors brief moments on screen, and then kills them off. Mitchum gets a few minutes; Gabriel Byrne barely lasts thirty seconds. Billy Bob Thornton gets a mini-cameo, and Alfred Molina takes a fatal bullet while you are still savoring the surprise of his presence. A gutsy director, to casually snuff out talent of that caliber.
Mythologies become boring with standard interpretations. Perhaps that is why I was so attracted to Dead Man, Days of Heaven, and even Rango, for that matter: they reinterpret the West from wonderfully unique and bizarre perspectives. Jarmusch, who grew up in Ohio, is surely that innocent moving through the savage and incomprehensible human and ecological landscapes of the early American West, trying to make sense of it all.

One could toil away for years in the shipping industry without hearing more than a few passing references to the Harbor Maintenance Tax. It's one of those "issues" that hovers in the background, never changing yet always at the ready for some fist-shaking complaints.
And as targets go, it's a good one: Importers of goods via ship must pay a portion of the value of their cargo to maintain the depth of navigation channels, yet Congress for years has kept roughly half of the money collected, using it as an ever-so-slight offset to the federal deficit. West Coast ports such as Seattle and Tacoma are especially irked at the tax since the naturally deep Puget Sound doesn't need dredging. Their importers, then, subsidize dredging at river ports such as New Orleans; Savannah, Ga.; nearby Portland, Ore.; and New York-New Jersey, competitors for the same pool of Asia cargo.
Now the West Coast ports have a new reason to complain about the HMT, and, as a result, this standby issue is about to make the headlines again — probably with a bigger splash than in 1998 when the Supreme Court, in a rare maritime ruling, declared the tax unconstitutional as applied to exports.
The reason for the new attention is competition, but with a new twist: Seattle and Tacoma, and other U.S. West Coast ports, have been watching with increasing unease the meteoric rise of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, a port in a town of 12,000, 480 miles north of Vancouver. The small industrial town is on the Great Circle shipping route between Asia and North America, and robust rail connection into the North American interior gives it a three-to-four day advantage over Los Angeles-Long Beach in getting goods to Chicago and other U.S. cities. The route has been a hit with shippers looking to pare inventory costs through faster transit times.
But few if any sales pitches fail to mention that no Harbor Maintenance Tax is due on containers arriving at Canadian ports, a savings of $137 per container on average, according to the Federal Maritime Commission. The U.S. West Coast ports have come to see the tax as the main culprit in their declining market share against Canada — Seattle and Tacoma saw their combined piece of total West Coast cargo drop from 18.4 percent in 2005 to 15.6 percent last year, while British Columbia ports increased their share from 7.8 percent to 12.4 percent during that same period, according to West Coast port data.
It's the future that most worries the U.S. ports: Prince Rupert may have handled less than 400,000 TEUs last year, but a second container terminal is in its design stages, which has Prince Rupert on course to handle up to 5 million TEUs by 2020, the Prince Rupert Port Authority says on its Web site.
With limited options given the close relationship with Canada, the U.S. ports' strategy is narrow and surgical, targeting a familiar punching bag, the HMT. As a result of lobbying, the FMC in August received a letter from Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray of Washington, saying "it appears that the HMT may be a key factor in causing U.S. ports to lose a growing share of imported container cargo from Asia," and requesting an inquiry. The FMC, whose Chairman Richard Lidinsky has known about the diversion issue on the East Coast going back to the 1980s, appears ready to act. The commission will vote Oct. 5 whether to pursue a formal inquiry and if so at what level of legal formality.
The West Coast ports, however, are already several steps ahead; at the risk of being branded protectionists — an unusual charge for a port — they have a remedy in mind: a new HMT-like levy on U.S. containerized imports that originate at Canadian ports.
That may sound like it has a nice simplicity to it, but the idea raises myriad questions: Doesn't the U.S. economy, and consumers in particular, benefit more from greater efficiency of supply chains than what it loses in a few longshore, trucking or warehousing jobs? Is imposing a new tax on business the right move when the economy is still struggling to recover? If this is to be a tax on the cargo, isn't that a tariff and wouldn't that violate the North American Free Trade Agreement? Might not a better solution be to scrap the HMT and make funding for maintenance dredging a local responsibility among ports that require it?
And what about the estimated 15 percent of Canadian containers that enter through U.S. ports? Would Canada be within their rights to tax that cargo? As Canadian Pacific CEO Fred Green told the recent Journal of Commerce Maritime Conference, "People may want to have their eyes wide open before they start throwing stones."

Researching Conflict Resolution
Because Conflict Resolution is a field that overlaps with many other disciplines, there is no one database that covers all of its literature. The best way to pursue your research a topic is to consider which field concerns itself with your research question. Does it relate to educational settings, business mediation, interpersonal conflict, international conflict, or another area? Consider which fields would have researchers writing about your topic and then explore the databases and other research tools that relate to those fields.
Here are some examples:
|Research or project topic
|Fields where researchers might be exploring this topic
|Bullying prevention in middle schools
|How people in a group or non-profit communicate
|Psychology, Sociology, Business, Communications
|Conflict resolution in marriages
|Restorative justice
|Political science, Criminal Justice, Sociology

Medical Corner
Firstly, we would like to thank you for completing the online medical questionnaire as part of your registration. This information is extremely useful to us in planning a safe race. As previously mentioned, we would like to assist you in reducing the risk of injury or medical complications while exercising. For those who have not managed to complete the medical questionnaire online whilst entering, we urge you to complete the said at the following link in order for us to have your records at hand on race day. Click here
Heart disease or blood vessel disease
Some of the most important and serious medical complications during exercise are related to underlying heart and blood vessel disease. A range of potential complications in the heart and blood vessels can occur during exercise. This could vary from feeling dizzy to collapsing and developing a non-fatal or a fatal heart attack. Therefore, there are several important safety concerns for runners who have risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease, as well as for runners who already suffer from underlying heart and blood vessel disease. This edition of the newsletter is devoted to giving advice to those of you who have known heart and blood vessel disease or have underlying associated risk factors.
Running with known heart or blood vessel disease
A number of Two Oceans athletes have indicated that you currently suffer from heart or blood vessel disease. Regular exercise, including running, is an important component of the treatment of patients with existing heart disease. However, it is important to realise that if you have heart disease, there is also an increased potential risk of developing a serious medical complication during exercise. In order to reduce the risk of a medical complication during training or on the day of the race, we suggest the following:
- Every runner with known heart or blood vessel disease must undergo a full and comprehensive medical evaluation of the heart and blood vessels' response to exercise, by a qualified medical doctor
- This medical evaluation should include a history of any symptoms you may have, a comprehensive physical examination, and at least an exercise test during which your heart's response is monitored through an electrocardiogram (ECG) (also known as a stress ECG)
- This medical evaluation should be conducted at least once a year and more frequently if you develop new symptoms
- All your risk factors for heart disease should be well controlled (see below)
- Be aware of the following symptoms that may develop during exercise: chest pain, a pressure feeling in the chest, dizziness, excessive shortness of breath, sudden fatigue, abnormal heartbeat, pain in the jaw or left arm that is not explained, and sudden nausea or vomiting
- If any of the above symptoms develop during or immediately after exercise, please seek medical attention urgently
What are the risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease?
The main risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease include the following:
- Abnormally high lipid (fat) levels in the blood (hyperlipidaemia)
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Cigarette smoking
- A family history of heart disease at a young age
- Physical inactivity (not applicable if you are a regular exerciser)
- Diabetes mellitus (sugar sickness)
Running with risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease
From the information we received in the medical questionnaire, approximately 16% of runners indicated that they have one or more risk factors for heart and blood vessel disease. If you are one of these runners, it is suggested that you consult with your medical practitioner to identify if these risk factors are well controlled, and that you have no active underlying heart disease. This is particularly important if you are a male runner over the age of 45 years, or a female runner over the age of 55 years. Please note, you should not continue to exercise if you have any of the symptoms of heart disease (listed above) until cleared by your doctor to do so.
We trust that this information is of value to you. Please make sure that you read the suggestions carefully, and contact your medical doctor to perform the full medical evaluation as suggested.
We wish you safe and enjoyable training and racing over the next few months.

Pursuant to Illinois law, 720 ILCS 5/24-3, sellers must withhold delivery of a long gun, rifle or shotgun, for 24 hours and a handgun for 72 hours
from the time the application for purchase has been reached. Violation of that provision is Unlawful Sale or Delivery of Firearms and is a Class 4
Felony, punishable by up to 1-3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Illinois State Police have been fielding an increase in requests for clarification on how to abide by the waiting period and when it begins.
According to 720 ILCS 5/24-3(g) the waiting period of 24 or 72 hours does not begin until after its application for purchase has been made. The
statute defines "application" as:
"For purposes of this paragraph (g), "application" means when the buyer and seller reach
an agreement to purchase a firearm."
"We therefore conclude that the
legislature intended that the term "application" have the meaning of "request" and the statutory requirement is an informal request to purchase a
firearm. Since we believe the legislature intended that "application" mean "request," we shall use the terms "application" and "request" interchangeably.
Illinois statute picks up on the Court's reasoning in Hurtado, and formalizes that there is in fact intent to buy a firearm by virtue of an
agreement. The statute does not spell out what needs to be in the agreement, or the manner in which it is to be memorialized.
ISP concludes that the waiting period to purchase a firearm as defined under state law, 720 ILCS 5/24-3(g) begins when the buyer and seller reach the
"agreement" to purchase the firearm and that agreement may be formalized in a number of ways. As the FFL will be required to answer any
questions raised by ATF inspectors as to how the waiting period was observed, ISP suggest that FFLs memorialize the agreement in some form that is
verifiable and consistent with each purchaser. Here are a couple of questions that have been raised:
NOTE: This is the interpretation of the Illinois State Police. Individual FFLs may have their own policies and procedures to observe the waiting
The Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau (FSB) is pleased to provide you with new and crucial information regarding changes that directly
affect you and your customers. Attached, you will find the newly designed
Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card application. Destroy the old blue
and red applications and immediately begin using the GREEN and red FOlD applications. Although the old application will be accepted until
March 1, 2013, the use of the old application could result in a delay of processing.

(WVLT) - The government is exploring the theory that imported ingredients in some pet food may have been intentionally spiked with an industrial chemical to make them appear to have a higher protein content.
The Food and Drug Administration is looking into how the chemical, melamine, contaminated at least two ingredients used in more than 100 brands of dog and cat food.
Those foods were linked to kidney problems in animals and were the center of a massive recall.
Melamine has been found in both wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate imported from China.
Federal investigators say they are waiting for visas so they can go and inspect the plants where the vegetable proteins were produced.
For the latest on the FDA recall, go to this website.

End of Life Experience
- 4Apr 20, '12 by MN-NurseA nurse from my graduating class sent me this:
"Was talking with a pt about the dying process and what he will be going through. After many tears together, I told him I would be sure to say goodnight before I left.
When I came in, as promised, he held my hand tightly and said, "I do not know you but the part of you I got to know tonight, I love. He cried again, I gave him a hug and as he kissed my cheek he tenderly whispered, "Goodbye, I will see you again someday".
I will never forget my patients."
This is what I think of when I think of spirituality and nursing.
- 2Apr 20, '12 by tothepointeLVNI hate to say this but from my experience as a hospice nurse you start out remembering every patient you ferry over to the other side but the more you do this the more you start blocking them out and it becomes a blur. It really does become where you mean more to the patient/family that the patient does to you and thats ok. Thats what you need to be able to do in order to be able to give the best of yourself to yourself and still have something left. I'm more compassionate/empathetic/selfless now though.
- 3Apr 21, '12 by BostonTerrierLoverRNYour sympathy, empathy, and general spirit takes such a beating in Nursing it HAS TO BE almost or is "Faked" sometimes. After my Naive years on the emotional rollercoaster of being a few months into ER Nursing, I almost totally wrecked my 6 year in (at the time) marriage. I noticed most of my friends quit coming around, or really going out of their way to connect. I got married younger than most, so I chalked it up as they were starting families, so on/so forth.
Now, my wife, being stuck with me- she confronted me. It hit me like a ton of bricks that I was totally give out emotionally drained. I didn't want to "FEEL" anything positive/negative after I got off work, totally numb. I gave her ZIP in the affection, reassurance, and encouragement departments. I also see how easily someone could succumb to a drug that "covers" negative emotions. I sought help real fast, I knew she was right, I had lost interest in everything I used to be passionate about. I became distant. I hated to leave the house. The help I got saved me as a person, and I then seen how demanding the emotional strain had been- and how isolated I had made myself.
Why post this on this thread?
I hope if you remember feeling better mentally in an earlier period of life (I don't care how long), seek help. If your not interested in things you once were- somethings happened. It will effect EVERY aspect of your life untreated. I have seen so many nurses turn to drugs, risky lifestyles, and even suicide to "escape." Reach Out if You Need Help.
I know I am not the only one to have this gut reaction to "I will never forget my patients," seeing above post. And like that poster, I am just saying, guard your heart. If you don't take care of yourself first, it just gets harder to take care of anything else the way you'd like too. Don't set self aspirations too high like that is all, your going to have a hard enough demand on your spiritual health anyway.
Just don't take yourself tooooo seriously, and BE GOOD TO YOURSELF- You deserve it.
- 1Apr 21, '12 by tbtg9878All care-takers are subject to "burn-out".... It takes a very special and spiritual person to be able to assist, be therapeutic and empathetic without care resulting in "distancing oneself" from the patient and family. This seems only to be done by the grace of God who strengthens. My personal experience has observed some hospice nurses actually "hasten" the pt.'s death by injection, because they "saw the family panic" or the nurse was panicked. This "hastening" is a phenomena that is not written about in nursing. It's Nursing's "dirty little secret". I would interview any hospice nurse extremely carefully to make sure that they are compassionate within the appropriate boundaries, as defined by morales that reflect a respect for life as well as a "comfortable" death. I would hope that we as nurses do try to recall our patients and their families. It's the "human component" of our vocation. Any "burn-out" issues should receive peer support with team-mates and hospice chaplain. I actually pray for my patients and staff too!! Have a wonderful weekend!
- 3Apr 21, '12 by tothepointeLVNBostonTerrierRN.
Your spot on, on this one. I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter whether your empathy is real or faked as long as your patients and family feel it. I often get told by the family that I bring a "calming" presence to the room which I wouldn't be able to achieve if I hadn't left the real TTP in the car.
Have seen hastening before in but I always felt it was laziness on the nurses part or at least in the cases I saw when the patient was overly sedated and the nurse was sitting in another room reading a magazine. Prolonging I have also seen where the nurse on duty was scared and didn't want the patient dying on their shift or in one case where the nurses wanted to be able to have more shifts with the same patient flushing the GT with H2O even though that had already been d/c'ed. Thats the longest I ever seen a patient last on cc. I don't know what else was happening it seemed every time I left a shift she was transitioning and I would have said minutes to hours and then next day had rebounded.
I would also point out that not everybody believes in a God so I disagree with the concept that being therapeutic and empathetic can ONLY be done with the "Grace of God"
- 1Apr 21, '12 by BostonTerrierLoverRNyep, totally in agreement with you tothepointeLVN!!!! And on the Hastening, It is my worst fear to have a long-suffered, drawn-out death. Just keep Boston comfortable with IV fluids so I won't have "Deathbreath," and a little butt and oral care- and let me go---> (As fast as possible w/o losing your license)!
(all dogs go to heaven!) Lol.
- 2Apr 22, '12 by tothepointeLVNNo dog breath got it. ;D
- 1Apr 23, '12 by WongRN-4lyfIt's nice to you two agreeing!!!!
"They is a God!!!" -Cealy The Color Purple
And, I'm in agreement. No tubes, monitors, or heroics that are POINTLESS. Let me slide into what ever's out there. But, by all means, keep the morphine and IV fluids going, just don't feed me!!! I WILL HAUNT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT!!!!
- 0Apr 24, '12 by Brandywyne30I actually created an account after reading this post! It's nice to know I'm not alone in my feelings regarding this delicate matter! I'm so impressed with the responses here! It's such a hard balancing act between being a nurse and your personal life and not becoming distant with your loved ones after you've witnessed so much, nursing does take a toll on your heart and soul. I'm dealing with that myself these days after 15 years of nursing. Kudos to you guys and thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

About me
Other than skateboarding, I'm interested in webdevelopment (after all I created this site) and punk rock music.
Skateboard information
Skateboard history
I started skating in 2003 after seeing the Rodney Mullens clip in the THPS2 game.
Many years later I'm still very much in love with the sport, even if it's in a more passive way than before.

Pink Floyd - The Dogs Of War (Gilmour, Moore) Cm Dogs of war and men of hate, with no cause, we don't disciminate Discovery is to be disowned, our currency is flesh and bone Ebm Hell opened up and put on sale, gather 'round and haggle Cm For hard cash, we will lie and decieve Even our masters don't know the web we weave Ab Fm One world, it's a battleground. One world, and we will smash it down. Cm One world... One world Cm Invisable transfers, long distance calls, hollow laughter in marble halls Steps have been taken, a silent uproar has unleashed the dogs of war Ebm You can't stop what has begun, signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion Cm We all have a dark side, to say the least And dealing in death is the nature of the beast Ab Fm One world, it's a battleground. One world, and they smash it down. Cm One world...

OWOSSO, MI — The Owosso Community Players, which owns the fire-gutted Lebowsky Center is trying to raise $350,000 by May 1 in order to qualify for a matching grant from the city of Owosso which it received as part of the Vibrant Small Cities Initiative.
If the grant money is received, the $700,000 would be used to enclose the theater again and begin interior work. Completing the entire project is expected to cost $3.5 million.

Rendering of Philadelphia's Boyd Theatre
Friends of the Boyd are pleased to share with you our link to this
wonderful rendering of what Philadelphia's historic Boyd Theatre's
Chestnut Street frontage would look like restored to its original 1928 exterior (albeit without the vertical sign).
Thanks to architects Martinez and Johnson of Washington D.C. for the incredible work they have done on this project over the years, originally for Clear Channel and currently for Philadelphia developer Hal Wheeler. As to the vertical sign, Gary Martinez has stated they will design so the vertical could later be installed. Because the 1928 photos are black and white, the proposed colors for the Boyd frontage were derived from original Art Deco colors discovered at the Boyd Theatre.

Spielberg inspired by movie seen at Boyd Theatre
On Sunday's Golden Globes telecast, Steven Spielberg described how he was inspired to become a director after his father took him to see "The Greatest Show on Earth" at a Philadelphia movie theater. As many of you know from our historic photos, it was the Boyd Theatre that showcased that film.
The 1952 movie was not wide screen, but unusual for any movie, had a wide screen special effect showing a train crash. After seeing the movie, Spielberg crashed his model trains at home so many times that his father told him he would take away the trains if he kept it up. Spielberg borrowed his father's 8 mm camera and filmed the train crash, so he could watch the trains crashing on film.

Everett faces tough road ahead
MIDDLETOWN, DE — Until further notice, The Historic Everett Theatre is closed. At approximately 11:30 pm Saturday March 15th, portions of the ceiling collapsed causing extensive damage. The theatre was vacant at the time.
The theatre will suffer significant financial harm due to the cost of repairs, as well as the loss of revenue for planned movies and performances.

Have a seat? We'd like two!
H-B Woodlawn is an alternative school in Arlington, VA. H-B is consistently ranks one of the best public high schools in the country. In 2006 and 2007 H-B ranked 13th; in 2005, 5th; and in 2003, 10th. H-B has a prolific, student-run theatre program which produces 8 to 12 productions each year, almost all of which are directed and produced by students. The 2007-2008 show schedule includes: Sister Mary Ignatius, No Exit, Lost in Yonkers, One-Act Play Festival, Urinetown, Macbeth, As Bees in Honey Drown, Boys and Ghouls Together, Holes, and the 24-Hour Play Festival.
Unsafe rigging above the stage needs to be replaced. Most of the wiring is 50 years old. Students have been shocked. The lighting dimmer rack only holds 26 lights. The spotlights at the back of the auditorium are attached to balcony railings. The wooden seating in the school's auditorium is fifty years old and is literally falling apart; seats have fallen out from under people and are visibly cracked; some seats are missing; several rows of seats have been removed because they were not salvageable; and, some rows of seats are being pieced together by students. WE NEED 475 SEATS, NEW OR USED! The estimated cost is at least $49,100 for new seats. Bake sales are presented at each theatrical event. T-shirts, sweatshirts, and mugs are being offered for sale. Raffles and other fundraising events are being sponsored by the Drama Boosters to raise additional money. We are trying everything. Please let us know if you can be of help, or have any ideas to get us any closer to our goals.

Kelela at Pitchfork Fest 2014 (more by James Richards IV)
R&B singer Kelela was supposed to tour and hit NYC for shows at Bowery Ballroom (12/12) and MHOW (12/13) this month, but all dates have been cancelled. She writes:
Hey everyone...it's Kelela.Refunds are available at point of purchase.
I'm sorry to say, but after wrestling with the idea for a while, I have decided to postpone my upcoming U.S. shows until the Spring. In the last year I've tried to write my album in the pockets of time between shows and have finally come to place where the only way to do my best work is to devote all of my time to completing this album. I'm in a crucial time right now and want to be fully present to the magic that is happening with the new material. I can't do that and continue to build the live show at the same time without compromising both of them.
Thanks to all of you that have bought tickets. I promise to come back even harder in the Spring. I'm so so sorry to disappoint right now, but I know in my heart/head the wait will be worth it.
Kelela at Pitchfork Fest 2014 (more by James Richards IV)
R&B forward thinker Kelela continues to move up in the world. She recently announced a tour that has her at increasingly larger venues, including two hometown shows in NYC on December 12 at Bowery Ballroom and December 13 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Both shows are with A$AP Mob collaborator Chynna. Tickets for those shows are on sale now.
Kelela recently dropped a new collaborative track with Le1f and P. Morris. Stream that, with the list of her dates and a Chynna/A$AP Mob stream, below...

'Kitsune AMERICA 3' comp coming in June (stream a track); Lawrence Rothman opening for Little Dragon (dates)
Kitsuné has been been putting out compilations since 2002 with a wide range of international dancepop artists. Recently they began doing Kitsuné AMERICA comps as well, and the third of those will be out June 3 featuring new cuts from Brenmar, Kelela, Lawrence Rothman, Son Lux, Jerome LOL, Heartsrevolution and more. We've got the premiere of Kitsuné AMERCIA 3's ethereal closing track, "Speak" by Seattle duo NAVVI. You can stream it below.
For those in Los Angeles and at Coachella, Maison Kitsuné has taken over the iconic Roosevelt Hotel with a pop-up store that's open through April 21. Additionaly, Kitsuné has events this weekend at clubs on Hollywood Blvd. Jupiter, Prince Language and Kindness play the Kitsuné Club Night @ Teddy's on Friday (4/18) and then there's a Kitsuné Pool Party @ Tropicana Pool on Sunday afternoon with a DJ set from Kilo Kish, a performance by Eli & Fur and another "Very Special Guest." You can RSVP for those.
Meanwhile, Lawrence Rothman will open for Little Dragon on ten dates of their North American tour, including both shows at NYC's Terminal 5 on June 20 & 21. Tickets for 6/20 are sold out, but you can still get tickets for the 6/21 show. Rothman will be doing something a little different with these shows. From the press release:
In keeping with his haunting psyche and series of thought provoking, Floria Sigismondi-directed videos, Lawrence will supplement his musical offerings with an embodiment of a wholly different character each night.Rothman, by the way, is Sigismondi's husband and used to front The Living Things. I caught one of his SXSW shows and I don't know if he was doing a character that night but the name that crossed my mind was "Rick Astley," a vastly different show than the one I saw at Glasslands last year. (In both cases, he's got a powerful set of pipes and puts a lot of effort into his performance.) So if you're at one of the Little Dragon shows and wondering what the hell is going on with the opener, now you know.
All Lawrence Rothman dates are listed, along with the NAVVI stream and Kitsuné AMERICA 3 tracklist and pop-up store flyer, below...

What's going on Saturday? (Fat White Family, Real Estate, Ash, Dean Wareham, Doug Gillard, Perfect Pussy, & more)
Real Estate @ Treasure Island Fest 2013 (more by Autumn Andel)
Fat White Family @ BV SXSW 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Real Estate, Pure X @ Webster Hall
Real Estate's new album, Atlas, is a great spring listen which makes their two sold-out NYC shows this weekend with tourmates Pure X all the more enticing.
Perfect Pussy, Tumul, Green Dreams @ Mercury Lounge
Perfect Pussy's solid debut album is out now, but it's really all about the live show where this intense noise punk band really shines. This is their second of two sold-out NYC shows this weekend.
Holy Ghost! @ Baby's All Right
As a warm up to Coachella, DFA mainstays Holy Ghost! are playing two NYC shows, this being second. Sold out!
Ash, Run River North, Golden Suits, Drop Electric @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Irish trio Ash made some of the hookiest guitar pop of the '90s and -- "Girl From Mars," "Oh Yeah," "Goldfinger" -- and are one of the more underappreciated bands of that era. Here's a great chance to check 'em out...for free!
Porter Ricks, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Miles, Leisure Muffin, Ital & Halal, Le Petit Garcon @ The Wick
Unsound Festival continues tonight with veteran duo Porter Ricks, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (aka drone musician Lichens), Miles (of Demdike Stare), the new collaborative project of Brooklyn regulars Ital & Aurora Halal, and more. Unsound Fest also includes the Rondo show at BAMcinématek tonight.
Dean Wareham, Carsick Cars, The Vacant Lots @ Bowery Ballroom
While mainly associated with the guitar, indie rock vet Dean Wareham brings vintage keyboards to the mix on his new solo album. It works so well we wonder why he didn't dabble in this sooner. Tonight's show is with Bejiing band Carsick Cars and Vermont psych combo The Vacant Lots.
La Misma, Good Throb, Priests, Nuclear Spring, Exit Order @ Death by Audio
If you couldn't get tickets to Perfect Pussy's Mercury Lounge show tonight, but still need your fix of intense punk, DbA is the place to be. (Not that that's the only reason worth going.) This bill is stacked, with political DC punks Priests, their UK tourmates Good Throb, Boston's rapid-fast Exit Order, and two local bands: La Misma and Nuclear Spring, the latter of which is one of NYC's most underrated punk bands at the moment.
Doug Gillard, Casper & The Cookies, Lame Drivers @ Cake Shop
Doug Gillard's CV is impeccable, having logged time in Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, My Dad is Dead to name three. His his forthcoming solo album, Parade On, is an equally impressive array of sparkling powerpop. Georgia's hyperactive Caspar & the Cookies open.
Kastle, Druid Cloak, Figgy, Alex English @ Slake
Kastle's futuristic remix of Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" was one of the finest remixes of its kind last year, and his original material always impresses as well.
Despise You, Full of Hell, DRAIZE, Chainsaw To The Face, Mother Brain @ Saint Vitus
Tonight's the second of two shows for powerviolence legends Despise You, and it's a doubly good one because the insane Full of Hell are never to miss.
Fat White Family, GOASTT, Jeffrey Lewis, Jon Spencer (DJ) @ The Acheron
After wreaking havoc in NYC a couple weekends ago, the UK rock n' roll twister that is Fat White Family have one show for us before they head home, a Brooklyn iteration of their London party Slide. Sean Lennon's GOASTT and Jeffrey Lewis are on board, and Jon Spencer will be your DJ for the evening. Expect a wild, perhaps nudity-filled, evening.
Miley Cyrus, Icona Pop, Sky Ferreira @ Barclays Center
For better or for worse, Sky Ferreira and Icona Pop have certainly gained some indie cred, which could potentially make it seem strange that they're touring with Miley. But if you live in a universe where "You're Not the One" and "I Love It" sound out of place on a playlist next to "Wrecking Ball," you live in a different universe than us.
Prancing Elites, Kelela, Total Freedom, Dutch E Germ @ Red Bull Studios
R&B singer Kelela just wrapped up two sold-out shows at Rough Trade NYC, and tonight she plays a third show for the DISown party at Red Bull Studios (220 West 18th St). 6 PM start.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Kelela at MHOW during CMJ 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
R&B boundary pusher Kelela just followed her impressive debut album/mixtape CUT 4 ME with a new single, "The High." Like on her mixtape, she eschews typical R&B production in favor of working with producers of the IDM/bass/future garage/etc variety. This one, produced by Gifted & Blessed, is murky, downtempo and hardly melodic, and it serves as an excellent background for the atmospheric crooning Kelela does on the track. Listen to it below.
Kelela plays around NYC a lot, and she'll do so again, as she's just announced two US shows to follow her appearance at SXSW: one in LA and one in NYC happening on April 3 at Rough Trade with "special guests." Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (2/7) at noon.
All dates are listed, along with the new song stream, below...

The Mexico City concert features Blood Orange, Silver Apples, Destroyer, Anika, Wolf Eyes, Merchandise, Pional and more.
The Monterrey line-up, as it stands, has Death, Pional, Perfect Pussy, Blue Hawaii, Pure X, Kelela, and more -- with more to be announced.
All announced bands and flyers below...

British newspaper The Guardian just finished publishing its Best Albums of 2013 list, after having rolled it out over the past couple weeks. It's got a lot of the albums most likely to show up on British lists, like These New Puritans, John Grant, Hookworms, and Arctic Monkeys, but its #1 is more in common with the US publications. Find out what it is, along with their other 39 picks, below...
Pitchfork just posted their Honorable Mention Albums of 2013, which they say is "not #51 through #70 in our albums poll, but rather, records we thought were exceptional this year and deserved to be highlighted regardless of where they wound up." It includes a number of albums that did get Best New Music throughout the year (like the Burial EP that got a 9.0 last week), a certain inescapable young New Zealand pop star (who just announced two Roseland Ballroom shows), some metal representation, a couple indie legends, and the raw noise punk demo of Perfect Pussy, who also made Pitchfork's Top 100 Tracks.
Check out the full list in alphabetical order below...

Pitchfork just posted their Top 100 Tracks of 2013. It's got what some people might call the worst song ever, the song with the most talked-about rap verse of the year, some surprises, and some of the year's most undeniable songs. Their #1 pick is certainly one of those undeniable songs, whether or not you're a fan of the artist who made it. What do you think of their list? Did your favorite song make it? Any glaring omissions?

I always look forward to FACT's year-end list, which you can count on to be chock full of (but not limited to) forward-thinking electronic music, pop, R&B and rap, and it's one of the lists where I'm usually guaranteed to find something new. They just put out their 50 Best Albums of 2013 list, and it has all of those things, from one of the biggest name pop stars of the year to some of the most obscure stuff. It's also got one of the least obvious #1s I've seen on lists this year.

#1 LP of 2013 according to 'The Quietus'
Online UK music mag The Quietus started five years ago and quickly became (I think) one of the best sources for music writing on the web, giving a home to many former NME, Select and Q writers who are still seeking new music but are not so interested in the flavor of the month. The Quietus are not staffed by contrarians, nor sheep. To wit: the site just published its Top 100 LPs list of 2013 and topping it is Glynnaestra, the third album from UK duo Grumbling Fur which came out via Thrill Jockey back in August. From The Quietus' write-up:
Grumbling Fur make me want to take drugs. And I don't mean drugs like a few puffs on a spliff before bedtime or on a lazy Saturday afternoon, or a cheeky dabble at a rave to keep the energy flowing - I mean proper, don't-eat-for-18-hours-beforehand, make-sure-you've-got-a-couple-of-good-people-around-you, psychically prepared voyaging, preferably on a warm and sunny but slightly overcast afternoon in a field somewhere in the West Country, or in a friend's house cluttered to the rafters with fascinating and peculiar objects.The Quietus' Top 10 also includes some records you might have heard (David Bowie, Nick Cave, Foals, Factory Floor) but probably some others you haven't. And if you haven't heard Glynnaestra (I hadn't) you can stream it in full below.
You can check out The Quietus' entire Best LPs of 2013 list in this post, and they also made a Spotify playlist to accompany it. Their list, along with the Grumbling Fur album stream, is below..

It's the first work week of December and the year-end music lists for 2013 keep piling in. We just saw album lists from Q and Mojo, and now we get a list from a US publication, SPIN. There's not too many surprises on this one. Like last year, it shares its #1 with the highest Pitchfork-rated album of the year, and in general it features many of the albums we expect to see on these kinds of lists, including a lot of the year's big-name comebacks like My Bloody Valentine, Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk, Queens of The Stone Age, Boards of Canada and Nine Inch Nails, plus big breakouts like Haim and Disclosure. There are a few interesting omissions though, like Savages.
Check out their full list below...
Chance the Rapper at Lollapalooza 2013 (more by James Richards IV)
The BBC Sound of 2014 Longlist is in and includes Banks, Chance the Rapper, FKA twigs, Jungle, Kelela, MNEK, Sam Smith, Sampha, Say Lou Lou (formerly Saint Lou Lou), Chloe Howl and more. You might think some of these artists (like Chance the Rapper) already had their breakout year, but the requirements to be nominated are:
The successful acts cannot already be well-known to the UK public, for example through featuring in the final stages of a TV talent show or having already been a member of a successful band.The winner will be announced on January 10. Last year's winner was Haim.
They must also not have been the lead artist on a UK top 20 single or album before 4 November 2013 - but guest vocalists are eligible.
Full 2014 longlist, along with a BBC video with clips of all of them, below...

Jhene Aiko releasing EP w/ Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul & more this week, featured on Solange's new comp (streams & videos)
by Andrew Sacher
LA R&B singer Jhene Aiko is planning to release her debut LP, Souled Out, next year, but ahead of that she's got an EP, titled Sail Out, which comes out this Tuesday (11/12). The EP features contributions from two of her old Black Hippy pals, Kendrick Lamar on the sprawling, downtempo "Stay Ready (What A Life") and Ab-Soul on the brooding "Wth." Odd Future/Black Hippy collaborator Vince Staples shows up on weed/love song "The Vapors," and Childish Gambino is on "Bed Peace." Early standout single "3:16 AM" is on here too, meshing well with the newer ones for seven tracks of blissful psychedelic R&B. Check out the brand new video for its track "The Worst," over at Noisey, and videos for "3:16 AM" and "Bed Peace," plus streams of the other five tracks, below.
The same day the EP comes out, Jhene appears on Saint Heron, the new compilation from Solange's Saint Records label. In addition to tracks from Jhene and Solange, it features other forward-thinking R&B artists like Cassie, Sampha, Kelela, Petite Noir, Jade De La Fleur, Starchild, BC Kingdom, India Shawn and Iman Omari. Kelela, BC Kingdom, and the just-released Cassie contributions can be streamed below.
Jhene was just in NYC joining Drake when his tour hit Barclays Center (10/28). A video of their collaboration at the Brooklyn arena is below. She appeared on Drake's new album, in addition to recent albums by Big Sean, J. Cole, Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q.

Glasser / Kelela
The True Panther/Terrible Records CMJ showcase went down this past Tuesday (10/15) at Music Hall of Williamsburg, headlined by Glasser, who's doing a few CMJ shows as part of her tour in support of her new Interiors album. The rest of the showcase included Lil Jabba, the eccentric Kirin J Callinan, Brooklyn art pop musician Empress Of (who played a lot of new stuff), and forward-thinking R&B singer Kelela, who's been a pretty hot name at CMJ following the release of her CUT 4 ME mixtape. Pictures of that showcase are in this post.
Kirin J Callinan plays our FREE BrooklynVegan day party at Baby's All Right (146 Broadway) today. The show goes from noon to 6 and he's on at 12:45 PM.
Kelela plays Pitchfork's electronic show at 285 Kent on Saturday (10/19).
And Empress Of has a ton of upcoming shows in NYC (CMJ and post-CMJ).

Purity Ring (DJ set feat. special guests), Cashmere Cat, Jacques Greene & more playing Baby's All Right night show tonight
Purity Ring at Bowery Ballroom in May (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
We're very excited about the opening of new Williamsburg venue Baby's All Right (146 Broadway, near Peter Luger), partially because it's the location of our BrooklynVegan CMJ parties, the first of which begins TODAY (10/18) at NOON (hope to see you there!).
Today's BV party ends at 6 PM and our next one starts Saturday at noon, but in between those two shows, Baby's All Right is hosting the VFW Group-presented This Is How We Do It showcase tonight. Music starts at 8 PM, kicking off with electro-classical Brooklynite Lydia Ainsworth, then Brooklyn art pop musician Empress Of, the eccentric Kirin J Callinan, R&B-leaning trio Wet, psych band Spires, a DJ set (and exclusive CMJ appearance) from Purity Ring (which will feature special guest appearances), Oslo dance producer Cashmere Cat, and Montreal future bass producer Jacques Greene. John McSwain was also supposed to DJ, but doors are closing at 2am, so he sadly got bumped.
Baby's will also be open Saturday day AND Saturday night.
Flyers below.

electronic music at CMJ: The Range, Ejecta, Lee Bannon, Just Blaze, Kelela, Com Truise, Blue Sky Black Death & more
by Andrew Sacher
We recently discussed some of the hip hop at CMJ, and now here's a breakdown of some of the electronic music.
On Thursday (10/17), Cascine and Driftless Recordings are doing a showcase at Cameo which includes Italians Do It Better co-founder Mike Simonetti, Finnish duo Shine 2009 (stream their new album below), Ejecta (aka the new collaboration of Ford & Lopatin's Joel Ford and Neon Indian's Leanne Macomber -- stream some tracks below), Heavenly Beat, Rush Midnight (aka former Twin Shadow bassist Russ Manning), North Americans, and DJ sets from Korallreven and Bruce Smear. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
That same day, Gorilla vs Bear and Yours Truly are doing an unofficial CMJ party at Glasslands with Joey Bada$$ affiliate Lee Bannon (who just signed to Ninja Tune, will release a new album, Alternative / Endings, on 12/9 via the label, and just released the free Place/Crusher EP that you can stream below), Rhode Island IDM producer The Range (who just released a new LP, Nonfiction, which you can stream below), Cyril Hahn collaborator Shy Girls (who has other dates listed below), Tokyo's Sapphire Slows (whose Allegoria LP comes out on 11/5 via Not Not Fun -- stream a track below), Brooklyn's Tei Shi, Ejecta, and a DJ set from Saint Pepsi. This show is free, and though you do need to RSVP, it doesn't guarantee entry.
Also on Thursday is the AM Only CMJ showcase at Output with Oliver, Treasure Fingers, Just Blaze, Codes and Nick Catchdubs. Tickets for that one are on sale now.
At the same venue on Friday (10/18), Ghostly International hosts an unofficial CMJ party with Com Truise, Joel Ford, Lord Raja, Heathered Pearls, Patrick Russell, Nitemoves, and Contakt. Tickets are available here and here.
Also on Friday at Glasslands, Disclosure's pal Tourist makes his US debut. Since we last spoke, Figgy and Real Magic were added to the bill, and tickets are still available.
Real Magic, who we profiled when he played CMJ 2011, finally released his debut LP this year, and also plays other CMJ shows.
As discussed, psychedelic UK duo Fuck Buttons play LPR on Friday, and since we last spoke Mystery Skulls and Lichens were added. Sold out.
Another Friday show: Brooklyn venue Cameo hosts their official showcase with hip hop production duo Blue Sky Black Death (Nacho Picasso, Deniro Farrar), Sacramento's Sister Crayon, The Range (for whom this is an album release show for the LP mentioned above), and Mutual Dreaming's Aurora Halal. Tickets are available.
And there's a show, which may not actually be part of CMJ, happening on Friday at Steel Drums (35 Beadel St in Brooklyn) with L-Vis 1990 (Night Slugs), rapper Haleek Maul, a DJ set from NYC partystarter Ital, Color Plus, and Prism House. Admission is $12 with RSVP.
On Saturday (10/19), there's a LAZERPOP CMJ party happening at Glasslands with remix duo The Hood Internet, their fellow Chicagoan Chrissy Murderbot, and another remixer E-603. Tickets are on sale now.
Also on Saturday, the second of two unofficial Pitchfork shows goes down at 285 Kent. The first is a rock show happening a day earlier, but this one trades the guitars for synthesizers with cloud-rap/pop producer Ryan Hemsworth, electronic R&B singer Kelela, footwork producer Traxman, The Range, L.I.E.S-signed synth wizard Jahiliyya Fields, Software-signed minimalist Huerco S., and Brooklyn indie pop guy Mas Ysa. Tickets are still available.
Kelela first caught our ears when she sang on the newest Teengirl Fantasy album, and she's since teamed up with producers Nguzunguzu, Kingdom, Bok Bok, Jam City, Girl Unit and others for her debut album/mixtape, CUT 4 ME (out now via Fade to Mind), which she just played a release show for this past Saturday (10/12). You can download that LP here and stream it in full below. Kelela was added to the previously discussed True Panther/Terrible Records showcase headlined by Glasser show at MHOW (10/15), which also features Empress Of, Kirin J Callinan, and Lil Jabba (tickets). She and Glasser also both play FADER Fort (details TBA).

What's going on Saturday? (MMJ, Grizzly Bear, Divine Fits, Mexican Summer 5, Hollerado, Arto Lindsay, Kelela & more)
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows. Here are some highlights...
Divine Fits @ SXSW 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Hollerado @ Glasslands in January (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
My Morning Jacket, Grizzly Bear, Divine Fits, The Wallflowers, James Murphy (DJ Set) @ Times Square
Like they did last year, CBGB Festival is throwing a big free concert in Times Square. This year's feature's two major indie bands -- My Morning Jacket and Grizzly Bear -- a side project made of two major indie bands -- Divine Fits (Wolf Parade and Spoon) -- a DJ set from LCD Soundsystem/DFA Records guy/David Bowie remixer James Murphy, and The Wallflowers.
Like last year too, there are two stages -- North and South -- in two segments: 11 AM - 2PM (Lisa Loeb, The Wallflowers, Divine Fits) and 4 PM - 7 PM (James Murphy, Grizzly Bear, MMJ). The only specific set times we know are Divine Fits are at 1 PM and Grizzly Bear at 5 PM (both play the North Stage). You can kinda estimate what the other set times will be from that. More info is here.
Spiritualized, No Joy, Connan Mockasin, Lansing-Dreiden, Linda Perhacs, Quilt, CO LA, Lilacs & Champagne, Happy Jawbone Family Band, Weyes Blood, Soldiers of Fortune @ Pioneer Works
Day two of Mexican Summer's 5th Anniversary is another incredibly line-up of music with the U.S. live debut of avant-kiwi Connan Mockasin, a reunion of enigmatic artrockers Lansing-Dreiden, the NYC live debut of cult folkie Linda Perhacs... not to mention Spiritualized, No Joy, Quilt and more. Tickets are still available.
Kelela, Dance System, Secret Guest, J-Cush, Durban @ 285 Kent Avenue
Kelela first caught our attention when she appeared on the newest Teengirl Fantasy album, and she's since made her way into the Fade to Mind universe, roping in producers like Nguzunguzu, Kingdom, Bok Bok, Jam City, Girl Unit, and others for her debut album/mixtape, CUT 4 ME, which is out now.
Meat Puppets, Enemy Planes @ Brooklyn Bowl
One of the pioneers of cowpunk with 30 years under their belts, Meat Puppets have settle into a laid back groove as comfortable and familiar an an old pair of jeans. There's a reason you still love them.
Nic Lawless (& His Young Criminals), Pat DiNizio (of the Smithereens), Jon Caspi & The First Gun, Bronze Fondue, The X-Men, Creeptones @ Cake Shop
Smithereens frontman Pat DiNizio headlines this night of garagey powerpop as part of the CBGB Festival.
The Features, Hollerado @ Glasslands
Tennessee band The Features are just fine, but we'd go just to see Canadian rockers Hollerado who mix hooks, smarts and chops -- plus a few well-aimed confetti cannons.
The X-Patsys, Rhys Chatham @ Issue Project Brookyln
IPR continues its 10-year Anniversary tonight with avant-garde country band The X-Patsys (aka actress Barbara Sukowa and artists Robert Longo and Jon Kessler).
Hanni El Khatib, Bass Drum of Death, Ivan & The Parazol @ Knitting Factory
You get two sides of the garage coin with this tour: BDoD unleash party-friendly rippers, where Hanni El Khatib are more on the soulful side. This is the second of two NYC shows for these two groups.
Waiting for Henry, Valley Lodge @ Mercury Lounge
You know Dave Hill as a comedian and shirtless concertgoer, but did you know he can also shred? Catch his seriously impressive guitar skills tonight with his band Valley Lodge.
Fuzz, CCR Headcleaner @ Mercury Lounge
Do you pine for the early '70s monster riff days of Blue Cheer and prime Black Sabbath? Ty Segall does too, hence his proto-metal band Fuzz in which he sings and plays drums, heavy on the fills. Tonight's stop with tourmates CCR Headcleaner is sold out, but you can catch them on Sunday at Death by Audio.
Obits @ The Bell House, 2011 (more by Erik Erikson)
Obits, Lame Drivers, Family Curse @ The Rock Shop
Obits' third album, Bed & Bugs, recently dropped on Sub Pop and it's their most varied album to date, but still a rager -- and maybe the best thing they've done yet. Get up close tonight in the tiny confines of The Rock Shop.
Comedy Bang Bang Live @ NYU Skirball Center
Do you enjoy the awkward talk show comedy of IFC's Comedy Bang Bang? Sweater-loving host Scott Aukerman has taken the show on the road. Bandleader Reggie Watts isn't part of it but Paul F. Tompkins is, though if Reggie was going to make a suprise appearance anywhere in the country, it would probably be here. Sold out.
Solar Year, Black City Lights, Prism House, GPSYMTH @ Pianos
NYC-via-Montreal production duo Solar Year might be best known for their Grimes collaboration, but they also make some solid electronic pop of their own.
Antibalas, TUELO & Her Cousins @ Roulette
NYC Afrobeat band Antibalas are playing two hometown shows this weekend. Tonight's is a benefit for MIMA Music (whose mission is "to build a global network of arts-education programs, music education partners, and music based curriculum in under-served schools around the world"), and tomorrow they're at Highline.
Ski Lodge, Love Inks, Swimming, Napolean, Truthers @ Shea Stadium
Austin's Love Inks keep their arrangements sparse, allowing the airy charms of their songs to shine through. Their new album, Generation Club, is a winner. We like headliners Ski Lodge too, of course.
Arto Lindsay, Saint Rich, Callers, Celestial Shore @ The Bowery Electric
This is one of the better CBGB Festival shows, headlined by Arto Lindsay, who actually played CBGB a few times back in the day with his no wave band DNA. Opening are three younger local bands: Delicate Steve offshoot Saint Rich, indie folk-turned-indie pop band Callers, and avant-pop trio Celestial Shore.
Those Darlins, Gambles @ Union Pool
Tennessee's Those Darlins started off making '70s Loretta Lynn style country but quickly grew beyond those constraints. Their third album, Blur The Line, adds a little glitter to the mix, making for sleek, snarly rock.
CocoRosie @ Webster Hall
CocoRosie are back with their first new full length in three years, and after previewing songs from it at an intimate Brooklyn show before its release, and tonight they play a much bigger NYC show, and their first one since the LP's release.
Brian Wilson, Jeff Beck @ NYCB Theatre At Westbury
The band who currently tours as The Beach Boys may not include their main songwriter Brian Wilson as a member, but Brian's on the road with fellow ex-Beach Boys Al Jardine and Dave Marks, plus guitar maestro Jeff Beck, playing a ton of favorites from The Beach Boys' career. They hit NYC next week, but tonight they're in the area for a Long Island show.
Bonobo, Paul Basic @ Terminal 5
UK IDM producer Bonobo released his newest album, The North Borders, earlier this year via Ninja Tune, and played Webster Hall around the time of its release. Tonight he returns to NYC for his largest headlining show here yet, Terminal 5. After the show, Bonobo DJs the afterparty at Slake.
Ginger Baker @ Iridium
One of the greatest living drummers of any genre, Ginger Baker is best known as one third of Cream but is a master of many styles. This is his first of a five-night run at Iridium, and tonight's show is part of the CBGB Festival too. 8 PM and 10 PM shows.
Glenn Tilbrook @ Wonder Bar
One half of one of the best songwriting teams of the last 35 years, Squeeze's Glen Tilbrook will pull from that deep cannon of catchy tunes tonight. Funny guy too.
Modern Life Is War @ The Studio at Webster Hall (early) and Saint Vitus (late)
Modern Life Is War had a six-year career with three excellent albums in the 2000s, and after calling it quits, they sort of unexpectedly became a super influential band, with their melodic hardcore style coming back to life in bands like Touche Amore, Defeater, and others. Now they're fully back in action with a solid new album, Fever Hunting, and an active touring schedule that hits NYC for two sold out shows tonight. Studio show will be opened by Night Birds, Deathcycle, and Wet Witch; and Vitus will be opened by Incendiary and Survival (not the Hunter Hunt-Hendrix one).
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our full NYC show calendar.

text: A standout classic from trumpeter Luis Gasca – and a set that may well be the artists' most complete musical vision of the 70s! The group here is larger than on previous records, and Gasca's dropped a bit of his Latin roots in exchange for a soaring, slightly spiritual sound put together by arranger Don Menza – who's really at the top of his game here! There's a perfection and poise that's almost like CTI or Kudu at their best – almost a bit above the usual Fantasy Records session like this from the 70s, too! Other players include Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Menza and Hadley Caliman on reeds, Patrice Rushen on keyboards, and Harvey Mason on some mighty nice drums – which makes for more than a bit of funk in the mix. Titles include the sweet vibes/Rhodes number "Kathy", the stepper "Sara", and the tracks "Visions", "The Way I Feel Sometimes", "Patrice", "Collage", and "Night People". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Environmental Exploration Days 2012 Cancelled
Due to the small number of youth who signed up for Environmental Exploration Days, the EED committee has decided to cancel the program for 2012. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and hope we have given you enough time to plan. If you have sent us payment, you will receive full refunds. If interested in EED 2013, please contact us at 272-2292 or email Megan.
August 20-24, 2012
Registration Deadline: August 13, 2012
Clean lakes and streams, dramatic gorges and waterfalls, fertile soils and rich diversity of natural communities make the Ithaca area a healthy (and fun!) place to live.
Environmental Exploration Days is a five day program designed to open up new opportunities for youth, 11-13 years old going into 6th, 7th or 8th grades, who enjoy the area's unique natural beauty. You will visit cool sites, organizations, make new friends and find out what environmental opportunities there are to get involved. You will spend each day at a different location taking part in hands-on activities, getting wet, and taking fun hikes (see schedule below).
2012 Schedule
This year's camp takes place Monday-Friday, August 20-24.
Day 1: Robert H. Treman State Park
Our day begins in the upper section of the park where we will explore the stream, the plants and creatures that live in and around it. In the afternoon, we will hike through the gorge followed by a picnic lunch and swimming.
Day 2: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Our group will learn about the Cornell Lab's many citizen science programs and go on a scavenger hunt through Sapsucker Woods. We'll also create our own nature sculptures and learn about birds and habitat conservation through games and activities.
Day 3: "Floating Classroom" program AND Taughannock Falls State Park
Our day begins at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, where we will board the MV Haendal (centerpiece of the Cayuga Lake's "Floating Classroom" program: www.floatingclassroom.net!!)) to take an eco-cruise!
