It has arrived and it is wild! The latest (and possible the last) Target Beauty Bag has arrived in my mailbox today and I am excited to show you all!
It is a really nice, high-quality faux-leather animal print makeup bag. It looks very sturdy and easy to clean on the inside. This rivals another of Target's bags as a favorite so far (the other pretty bag is linked here)! I think it might just win as I am really digging animal print lately.
The samples this time are mostly hair care, which is okay I suppose. I prefer getting stuff like makeup wipes, etc. I like travel sizes of things. Oh well, I will never complain about free! These will get used. I like to throw these types of samples into a bin and use them at random or save them for when I go on vacation because it always seems I don't end up liking the shampoo that hotels give.
Earlier I mentioned that the inside of the bag looked easy to clean, and here you go. It is a nice nylon-type material and looks like it would wipe clean with a wet wash cloth.
I recorded a video already, but my sleepy-pregnant-lady syndrome is hitting at the moment. Doesn't appear that that will be edited and up until possibly tomorrow! Until then my lovelies! xoxo

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP ŌĆō Jessica Newkirk, a kindergarten and first-grade English as a second language teacher at the Joseph C. Shaner Elementary School, has been selected as the township school districtŌĆÖs teacher of the year. As such, she is in the running to be named Atlantic County teacher of the year by the New Jersey Department of Education.
A resident of Galloway with her husband Tim, she grew up in Haddon Heights. She attended Rutgers University Camden for her bachelorŌĆÖs degree in psychology, and completed her masterŌĆÖs degree in special education at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. She is certified in elementary education and special education, ESL, reading specialist, and as a supervisor.
She has taught at the school for six years. She found out that she had been selected for the honor when her principal, Daniel Cartwright, surprised her in her kindergarten class with a bouquet of flowers.
ŌĆ£He told the class that they had a very special teacher because she was the teacher of the year,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£They all yelled and clapped.ŌĆØ
Newkirk always knew she wanted to become a teacher.
ŌĆ£I didŌĆ" I played it all the time at home too, with my twin brother Rob,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I still have the chalkboard my parents gave me for Christmas one year.ŌĆØ
She seems to have found a home at Shaner School.
ŌĆ£This place is like having a family,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£My co-workers are amazing. They deserve to get this award on a daily basis. We all work hard and love what we do. My principal, Mr. Cartwright, is supportive and innovative. I love what heŌĆÖs done for our school the past three years. The kids, of course ŌĆō they are a lot of fun and theyŌĆÖre why weŌĆÖre all here.ŌĆØ
Her favorite subject to teach is reading because it is something they can use for the rest of their lives.
ŌĆ£When they realize they can do it and all of the sudden it all comes together, the look on their faces is priceless,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs like you were able to open up a whole new world for them.ŌĆØ
She said the best thing about being a teacher is helping kids succeed and watching them grow.
And, should they want to grow up and teach, ŌĆ£I would tell them that itŌĆÖs a wonderful experience,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt get discouraged by the obstacles you will face. Work hard, have patience, and donŌĆÖt give up.ŌĆØ
Each school selected its own candidate as well as a paraprofessional.
Janet Yunghans is the librarian for grades three, four and five at the George L. Hess Education Complex.
She resides in Upper Township with her husband Karl and children Kasey, 14, and Konnor, 12. She has taught at the school for 12 years and she previously taught for 20 years in Woodbine. She earned a bachelors degree in elementary education, a masters degree in instructional technology and has a certification as a library media specialist.
The William Davies Middle School representative is Carrie Armstrong. The self-contained special education instructor has taught in the school for 15 years and resides with her husband Chris, son Christopher, 11, and daughter Abby, 9.
She is a graduate of Wesley College and Georgian Court College with a bachelor of science certification in special education and a masters degree in the art of teaching.
The honored paraprofessionals include Beverly Levari, Gayle Luderitz and Lorraine Von Hess.
Levari has worked in the district for more than 12 years at the Shaner and Hess schools. She currently works with high risk students at the Shaner School.
Von Hess has been at the Davies School for 15 years and has worked in the district for 19 years. The Mainland Regional High School graduate has worked in the Read 180 classroom for the past five years.
Luderitz has been a paraprofessional at the Hess School for three years where, she said, ŌĆ£I am known as the Library Lady as opposed to the Library Teacher.ŌĆØ

Coral health check at Terumbu Raya
I'm back at Terumbu Raya, a submerged reef off northern part of Pulau Semakau after 3 years! My previous trip was in Jul 2011. Terumbu Raya, also named as The Great Reef in Malay is home to thick growths of hard corals and its associates by the reef edge.

Our first Marine Park on Sisters' Island
With the news release of Singapore's first Marine Park at the Sisters' Island, the two islands have received a lot of limelight. According to National Parks Board, the Sisters' Islands Marine Park will be a platform for outreach, educational, conservation and research activities related to our native marine biodiversity. The location was chosen due to its variety of habitats including coral reefs, sandy shores and seagrass areas.
For regular trippers who have been surveying the Sisters' Island, visiting the Big Sisters' Island today was more like meeting an old friend despite its new status. :)

I actually love how this feels on my skin, very light. If I touch my face, it literally feels like i have nothing on it. I also like how it looks when i first apply. It evens out redness but looks very natural. However, throughout the day it gets VERY oily (for me at least) and the worst part, every time I use this, without fail, it breaks me out!!!!!!! Like more than my foundation (maybelline dream liquid mousse). I've been using it on and off for at least 6 months- I keep coming back to it because of that light, natural feel and coverage- and recently I FINALLY learned how to manage my acne-prone, teenage skin so it was pretty nice, and then I used this and my skin freaked out on me!!! Definitely not using again, don't recommend for anyone who has sensitive, oily, and/or acne-prone skin.

I didn't really expect much form this seeing as how I got it for like $7. However it surprisingly good. I'm just telling everyone out there though don't buy this expecting it to have great coverage and be disaponted when it doesn't, because lets be real it's a bb cream not a foundation.It has light coverage and in the shade I go which was medium-dark is had a kind of peachy look to it. It covers up miner blemishes and gives a natural dewy look to the skin which I like. However I had to use a concealer with this. It looks nice on skin and lasts ally day. Although if you have oily skin or maybe even combination I might pass on this as it can make you look shiny. I have normal to combination skin and it even made me look a bit shiny if I didn't set it with a good matifying powder. I would say try this product, it has shades that will suit most skin tones and its not overly expensive and hey if you don't like it you can always return it.

I didn't like this product. I am not sure if I am allergic to titanium dioxide, but this product gave me a itchy rash on my face. On the side where I applied more - to build the "coverage" - the rash is worse. I don't have acne-prone or hypersensitive skin. It is relatively sensitive, however, and it reacted instantly (within 3-5 hours) to this product. I don't recommend this at all. Jose Maran has an amazing bb creme that adjusts to your skin tone. Will be trying others. Might skip low end ones, though.

I have fairly light skin so i bought the bb cream in light. It blends into my skin but it hardly has any coverage, i even tried to build up the coverage but the consistancy is so thin and watery it doesnt work. Also the claim about adjusting to skin tone is confusing. It isnt like the loreal bb cream that adjust and changes colour to your own skin tone. I think it fits my skin tone because the coverage is so thin you can hardly tell. The finish is abit shinny as well.
This Bb cream is uncomfortable like sticky/greasy when first applied but i cant feel anything after it sets. I apply this with my finger and leaves my finger feeling greasy even when the bb cream has already set on my face which is annoying.
Also the packaging doesnt help with the consistency of this product.(It is a screw on lid) The bb cream gets messy and drips out when the lid is open. It also gets all over the inside of the lid and is really hard to clean out because the lid is deep.
It doesnt moisturise or cover up anything, I am just glad it didnt break me out. This product made my skin feel abit rubbery when it is set and did nothing else except make my hands feel greasy after. I am disappointed with this bb cream because IF it at least had spf i could use it as a sunscreen. I cant wait to finish this so I can get it out of the way. I suggest you to try the gariner bb cream instead.

I have the BB cream in light-medium. Overall this product doesn't do much for me, but it does give my skin a dewy look which I like and is easy to blend. If you're looking for good coverage, this is not worth your money.

I was so excited to try this after hearing nothing but great reviews from my friends. It was exactly what I needed, light weight coverage with SPF. However, after a few hours I was very shiny around my nose, cheeks, and forehead. Overall its great but I wouldn't recommend it if you have oily skin.

I've been tempted to try BB creams ever since I've been seeing all this marketing for it thes past few months. The Maybelline one seemed to offer the most benefits (moisturizing, SPF, protection, smoothing, enhancing, evens skin tone, among others), so it was hard to pass up.
I've worn it for a few days now and I do love that I don't have to separately put on my primer and foundation, which saves time. The fact that it's also a moisturizer and sunscreen made me feel less guilty about applying more on, since I usually try not to cake my face with foundation. I wished it was a bit thicker, but the cream did make my face look clear and even without a heavy made-up look. It'll most likely become a staple for me in the mornings.

I've been using this for about a year now and I love it! I give it 4/5 stars because it's not really a BB cream, it's more of a tinted moisturiser with SPF protection. I like to use it kind of like a base underneath my foundation when I wear full face makeup and on my lighter days, I just use it for protection from the sun and to make my blemishes less noticeable. It's a good buy if you're looking for a little something extra to add to your beauty collection.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
To the 1980's and the 1984 February issue of Aeromodeller.
The cover this time shows John Kemp with his "Club Conquest" and Tony Penhall holding his "Sky Cat" while Jeane-Maries-Piednois winds his 1950's Coupe D Hiva.
The first full size plan and article were for a model of a model being a half-size replica of RON WARRING'S ZOMBIE by BILL DENNIS.
The famous original Wakefield Class ZOMBIE dates from 1949 and was a classic Warring design..
This version was flown with an 8 inch plastic prop but Bill recommends a carved balsa prop for a lighter model with greater performance which can be flown in or outdoors.
It would be a great to see it in the air.
Next was IRONSIDES a 40 inch free flight low wing sportster by B.CRACKNELL.
Plans are full size and the build article will be a big help in construction and trimming.
It is for .5cc to .75cc engines.
Finally one of the great names in UK free flight competitions for many years DAVE HIPPERSON on OPEN SLOW POWER.
The article and plan will be great interest to a lot of free flight power modellers.
Gary sorry I do not have a copy of the April 1967 AEROMODELLER maybe some one else in this forum can help with the build article you are after.
|Nov 25, 2011, 05:02 AM
Cheers Algy,
Hopefully someone else has it, I don't really need it but there might be some handy hints and tips there.
I've got a complete set of Aeromodeller mags from about 1972 to 1982 if anyone wants me to look for something.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
Back to the war years and the November 1942 issue of AEROMODELLER..
The cover painting by RUPERT MOORE shows a dog fight taking place somewhere of the "Front". Looks like three Bristol fighters and two Fokker Tri Planes.
First we head indoors with a BABY microfilm model by J. Maxwell.
The plan is half size and full building and trimming information are given.
Secondly was the JAY a very attractive flying scale model of a full sized Wakefield.
It was the work of M. GARNETT who said it has a flat glide and is of very robust construction. All these plans have full size formers and are of one third size so easy to blow up.
Something special next with a rubber scale MESSERSCHMITT ME 109F by A. ROSENFIELD. It looks a treat in the construction article photos with great attention given to detail.
The designer said it is capable of long fast flights. The plan even shows the layout for an authentic three bladed propeller.
Next to ARMANDS WAKEFIELD drawn by A.H.S.. It is of graceful streamlined appearance with a rubber sprung undercarriage.
The final free flight plan in the issue was the tow line glider "PUFFIN" designed by H.LINER.
No construction article was given but it is of basic simple construction with a diamond fuselage and the wings mounted on wing mounts above the fuselage.
Another model with a wonderful vintage look.
To a very ingenious way of flying free flight tow line gliders by yourself with the "One Man Glider Launch"
I have never seen anything like this before and thought well worth while passing along.
Finally another article for beginners to rubber power. A winding stand or jig. I built a similar one in the 1980's. To be sure it would never pull out while winding I attached two guy ropes to take the strain. It works a treat and lasts a life time.

Hi Simon,
glad you are enjoying the posts. Many more to come as I go backwards and forwards through the past decades.
Kiwi The two missing plans from my issue of Aeromodeller December 1960 were for 'SIMPLE SIMON" and "La MOUETTE"
Simple Simon was a control line model and would be out of place on this thread.
But "La Mouette" was an attractive A/1 glider by Czech modeller M.ZIKMUND. I have the construction article if you can the post the plan. The more the merrier.

I do have those plans but have not tried converting a plan to a PDF so I will find La Mouette during the week and have a go and will post it for all. I have the April 67 Aeromodeller so I'll also look out the article Gary was after.

SIMPLE SIMON" and "La MOUETTE"
The plans were lifted from the Zoe Quilter scan of the magazine on Colin Ushers site
all I have done is straightened all the scans, made them all the same size and then stitched them together.

Aeromodeller free flight plans
This time it's the July 1985 issue of AEROMODELLER with the cover featuring the three great full size plans to be found in this issue.
But first was a reproduction of CARL GOLDBERG'S 1934 indoor tractor record breaker plan. It set a time of 22m59.4secs. In Class C.
To the first full size free plan and a superb rendition of the HANRIOT HD-1 by BILL DENNIS. This is for CO2 or electric .
The HANRIOT was a latecomer to the 1914-1918 war with large numbers being produced and said to be a fine flyer.
Secondly was AGRO 11 designed by RICHARD PRESTON being a small sports rubber model.
I built and flew this model a few years ago and I was surprised at how well it performed. I had a lot of fun with it before giving it away for some one else to enjoy.
Finally something special again. This is Un HELICO a fascinating full size plan for a Peanut Helicopter by French master- modeller EMMANUAL FILLON.
It actually has a gearbox to divide the power between the rotor and tail rotor.
You get a full construction article and importantly how to go about trimming it to fly well.

I think they'd need to be enlarged a bit to get to the intended size.

Plans wrong size
When Zoe scans the magazines she does so at a reasonable resolution in PNG format and then uses some form of reduction (i think her OS is linux). This makes her scans two thirds size but virtually renders most plans unsuitable for enlarging to full size. As the free plans are almost full size these can be enlarged.
I see Kiwi says he cannot do PDF`s. whilst there are several free programs out there to do this it is sometime difficult to reduce them to less than the 3Mb required by the posting rules of the site and of course JPG ect require even smaller files. If anyone has plans and want them converted to PDF I am more than willing to do so. Minimum dpi should be 300dpi and 600dpi is better email them to me (any graphic format) and I will convert to PDF and mail back to you to post on the group.

The employee, Marquise Boyd, 23, and his alleged accomplice, Haili Bernard, 28, are both charged with armed robbery with a handgun.
Around closing time Sunday night, Bernard entered the business in the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue through a side door with a handgun and announced a robbery, police said.
The employee ran for the front door, apparently catching Bernard by surprise, according to police. Bernard grabbed the employee's cell phone and fled.
Police said an investigation found that Boyd helped Bernard plan the robbery.
Boyd, of the 300 block of East 50th Street, and Bernard, of the 3500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, are expected to appear in bond court today.

Obama's Pastor Dings the Media
President Obama's pastor at St. John's Church took an opportunity on Easter Sunday to bash the media. Did the devil get inside his head?
NYT's Mark Landler wrote in a White House Pool Report:
"Referring to the messy state of the world, [Rev. Luis León] said, 'Sometimes I wish I didn't read the newspapers or watch the television news.' Rev. Leon went on to dwell on the mystery of Easter and the resurrection, likening it to the global economy, which he also said he did not understand. 'You ruin it if you try to explain it,' he said. 'It can't be explained.'"
The pastor may want to work on consistency. After ripping on the media, León went on to give the NYT a shout-out.
"But Rev. Leon cited an article in the NY Times, which talked about the renaissance of Mogadishu in Somalia. He said he viewed it as a metaphor for the rebirth of Easter. 'Now you may say, 'they're all Muslim,' he said, his voice rising a bit. 'But so what? That is evidence of the resurrection.' During the Prayers of the People, as is customary, the congregation offered a prayer for 'Barack, our President, the leaders of Congress, and the Supreme Court, and all who are in positions of authority.'"
What, no prayers for the media?

Apple has confirmed it's working on an software fix to appease MacBook Pro owners who've been complaining their new machines beep unexpectedly and suffer recurring temporary freezes.
The issue appears to specifically affect MacBook Pros fitted with 7200rpm 500GB hard drives and is thought to centre on code that's causing the drive to sleep during use.
"We are aware of the issue and are working on a software update," an Apple spokesman told website CNet this week, though he didn't say when the patch will be posted

Very good rings
Reviewed: 22 October 2014 by JS-2014
I purchased a pack of these love rings out of the blue, back in April 2013 because of the good price.
They arrived in three small individual sleeve packets, so you can keep them clean after each use. I actually used one of these prior to using my second ever masturbator (Tracey Cox Supersex Sensation Stroker).
I've got to say, they are very good - not too tight, but just about right to get the blood flowing and to get you a lot harder. I've still got them because I know they'll come in handy when needed.
Anyone after a set of love rings, buy these because for the price, they're awesome!
- Pros
- These love rings do what they're meant to do. Not too tight
- Cons
- I didn't really have anything bad to say about these. They're great.
- Bottom line
- If you're in need of a set of love rings, purchase these.

Funny little rings
Reviewed: 12 September 2014 by chunkymummy, a Bisexual Married Female
Saw these and bought them for fun in the bedroom. Realistically, I didn't think they would actually glow in the dark - but they do, it was very surreal.
Hubby said they were a little tight but not enough to be uncomfortable.
It was strange to watch while having sex. They still did the job to make hubby last longer, and I had multiple orgasms before hubby had his.
- Pros
- Maintained erection long enough for me to have numerous orgasms.
- Cons
- Kind of off-putting with it being glow in the dark.
- Bottom line
- Fantastically fun cock ring.

Fantastic versatile value
Reviewed: 25 August 2014 by PetrosP, a Straight Married Male
I bought these back in November, and they are absolutely great.
Amazingly stretchy, they fit snugly on the shaft, or stretch right over the balls as well to give a wonderful glowing feeling from the pressure on the perineum.
All three together is heaven. It takes my wife a bit of time to get used to the throbbing veins on my increased girth, but then, wow!
Despite much use, only one has broken so far. An absolute winner, Lovehoney.
- Pros
- Perfect pressure and stretch.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great value and sensation.

From the mid-thirties until the mid-forties, he designed many Alessi works including the "Ottagonale", "Scalini", "Cilindrica" and "BombΘ'" series. In the fifties, he became managing director of the company bringing with him a new international dimension and began working with new external designers. He was president of Alessi S.p.A until 2009, when he passed away.Features:

On the latest Sports Retort, our team from Sochi checks backs in on how they've been converted into curling nuts. This leads to idle talk of Brian Costa leading a bloodless coup of USA Curling. Joshua Robinson also joins us to discuss his coverage of the U.S. speedskating team's meltdown and what it's like to watch the Dutch watch their favorite sport. (As an enticement to Darren, they even bring their own marching band, whose name translates to "Small Beers.")
We applaud sports like snowboard cross where knockouts are absurdly commonplace, and draw a line from them back to their obvious roots: the board games Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. Jim laments the end of an undefeated run of a Syracuse team he's never believed in. Plus, we raise a delicate etiquette question: Is it OK to re-gift for Derek Jeter's farewell tour? Read More »
On the latest Sports Retort podcast, Olympics savant Matthew Futterman joins us from the mountains above Sochi to discuss how he's made enemies in the Netherlands despite his praise for their medal hauls. (Could it be due to his revelation that Bruegel does not rank among his favorite Renaissance painters?) He explains his borderline-irrational adoration of cross-country skiing and comes to the show prepared with several housecleaning issues related to past statements about the sport on the Retort. We lament the trend of too many judged events—especially why ski jumping needs a judge instead of objectively measuring who soared the farthest through the sky off a giant ramp.
Plus, we wonder if the NHL has ruined the beautiful way the Russians used to play hockey and why men's hockey has a preliminary round when all the teams advance. Matt explains just how unpleasant it is to ride in a bobsled. We imagine an Olympic hockey game between Kazakhstan and a strong suburban U.S. high school team. And much more. Read More »
"How do you say OMG in Cyrillic?"
This is the sort of inspired Olympic commentary on "Shoshi Games 2014," the breakout Internet hit of the Sochi Games, which makes an Olympian out of the "Girls" character Shoshanna Shapiro, a New York University student on the HBO show whose interests include "Sex and the City," products, emoji, her bandana collection and the color pink. It is emerging as Sochi's answer to McKayla Is Not Impressed, the viral sensation from the London Games in 2012. Read More »
Amid complaints of a lack of readiness in Sochi, IOC President Thomas Bach said Friday "the athletes will have the best conditions possible for achievements in Sochi."
After a week dominated by discussions about whether Sochi is ready to host the Winter Games, International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach said Friday he was preparing for a "great Games" and was certain "the athletes will have the best conditions possible for achievements in Sochi. "
Bach, a German lawyer and executive, spoke at a news conference ahead of the opening ceremony, his first since being elected in September to perhaps the most prominent position in international sport. The Games are the first true test of Bach's tenure, and in recent weeks have been plagued with controversy about spending, construction woes, Russia's anti-gay legislation, security concerns, and even the rounding up and putting down of stray dogs.

Preparing for the Olympics is a year-round endeavor. But for many winter-sport athletes, whose events require snow, ice and other seasonal conditions, spring and summer training demands a little…creativity. The Wall Street Journal recently traveled to the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y., and spent a morning with the U.S. Biathlon Team at their dry land facility.
Biathlon combines miles of high-intensity cross-country skiing with .22 caliber target shooting. At the Lake Placid facility, athletes traverse twisting concrete back-country trails on roller skis before stopping to practice their shooting in both standing and prone positions. While there we spoke with Olympic Biathlon hopefuls Tim Burke and Lowell Bailey about their training routine, while also handing them GoPro cameras for some first-person POV of the athletes in action.

Puce Mary released an LP, touring, playing 3 NYC shows (dates with Marshstepper, Orden Mundial & more)
Danish one-woman industrial noise project Puce Mary released her newest album, Persona, earlier this year via Posh Isolation. If you're unfamiliar, you can get a taste from the bleak, distortion-covered and effect-laden track "Courses" below.
She also has a North American tour underway at the moment, and it includes three NYC dates. Most of the tour is with Ligature (ex-The Men, currently Warthog, Foreplay), although he'll be joining for only one of the NYC dates. The first is at ISSUE Project Room on December 5, where Puce Mary will be performing under her given name Frederikke Hoffmeier. That's part of the the three-day Swedish Energies 2014: EMS at 50 series which celebrates 50 years of Stockholm's Elektronmusikstudion (aka EMS) and "brings together a wide-ranging international lineup of visionary electronic and improvisational musicians spanning genres of sound and visual art." Here's the details on that one:
The night opens with concrete sounds from UK-based Swedish sound artist Jenny Sunesson. Saxophonist Christine Abdelnour, known for the breadth of her textural alto techniques, plays duo with Joachim Nordwall, a member of The Skull Defekts and iDeal label-head. Sound artist Daniel Rozenhall and visual artist / graphic designer Sten Backman appear in a rare collaboration. Copenhagen's Frederikke Hoffmeier, aka Puce Mary, plays a solo set crossing rhythmic industrial and harsh power electronics. The notorious Swedish composer and visual artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff closes the night with a solo performance. A co-founder of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland, von Housswolff's minimal-leaning works explore themes of electricity and communication with the afterlife.Tickets are on sale now and get you into all three days of the series, which also features cool acts like Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) and The Sons of God, among others.
Puce Mary's next NYC stop is Saint Vitus on December 11 with tourmate Ligature, Destruction Unit-related insanity project Marshstepper. Tickets for that show are on sale now. After that she'll play Palisades on December 19 which is otherwise a punk lineup with local bands Crazy Spirit and Survival, and Spanish hardcore outfit Orden Mundial. Tickets for that show are on sale now too.
That Palisades show is good all around, but if you're going don't miss Orden Mundial who will be here from Spain. Their speed-oriented attack provides an equally heavy contrast to Puce Mary's blasted-out industrial soundscapes. You can stream their newest LP below.
Puce Mary is also playing a show with like-minded NYC noisemaker Pharmakon in Montreal. Meanwhile, as we've discussed, Pharmakon's record release show is this Saturday (11/22) at Palisades. Tickets are still available.
All Puce Mary dates are listed, along with that track stream and the Orden Mundial LP stream, below...

Rakta played Nothing Changes, playing Palisades w/ S.H.I.T. on Saturday, opening for Iceage in LA (dates & EP stream)
by Andrew Sacher
Brazil's Rakta make ripping punk that incorporates the dark sounds of gothy post-punk and also some of the tripped-out atmospheres of psychedelic rock. They put out a self titled EP at the tail-end of 2013 which is well worth checking out. You can download it (name your price) at bandcamp and stream it in full below. They've been in the US on a tour that hit NYC at Nothing Changes late last night (10/15) with Merchandise tourmates Ninos Du Brasil, and they'll be hanging around for another NYC show on Saturday (10/18) at Palisades with Toronto's S.H.I.T., plus Survival and Mommy. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Their only other upcoming show that we're currently aware of is opening one of the LA stops on Iceage's tour. All of their dates are listed, with the EP stream, below...

The Ukiah Drag releasing an LP, celebrating w/ Uniform, Crazy Spirit & others in NYC (two track streams)
by Andrew Sacher
The Ukiah Drag in Chicago in June (more by Milos Markicevic)
The Ukiah Drag are following their 7" from earlier this year with a full length, The Reaper's Quarters, on September 9 via Wharf Cat. The album was produced by Ben Greenberg (formerly of The Men, currently of Uniform and Hubble), and you can get a taste from two of its singles, "Her Royal Grip" and the just-released "Final Prayer," both excellent doses of psychedelic punk. "Her Royal Grip" moves from a garage rocker to a Doors-style trip, and "Final Prayer" is an eight-minute dirge of acid-soaked aggression not unlike Ukiah's past tourmates Destruction Unit. Stream them both below.
The Ukiah Drag will come to NYC to celebrate the new album with a release show on September 11 at Saint Vitus. It's a joint release party with Uniform, who celebrate their self titled 12" that day, and also features local punk bands Crazy Spirit and Survival, as well as local noise artist Nick Klein. Tickets are on sale now. Show flyer below. It's the only upcoming date for both The Ukiah Drag and Uniform at the moment.

Pharmakon releasing a new album, playing DbA with Una Bestia Incontrolable before European tour w/ Swans (dates)
Brooklyn's Nancy Sinatra-covering noise artist Pharmakon has announced that she'll release a new album, Bestial Burden, the followup to 2013's excellent Abandon, on October 14 via Sacred Bones. It was produced by Cult of Youth's Sean Ragon, who also helmed Abandon. You can check out the LP's tracklist and the trailer video for it, directed by Jacqueline Castel, below. Artwork above.
Pharmakon will tour Europe with Swans this fall (who she's toured with before), but before she leaves home she'll play Death by Audio on August 29 with Una Bestia Incontrolable and Survival. $10 at the door gets you in.
That's the first of two NYC dates that week for Barcelona punks Una Bestia Incontrolable. They also play 538 Johnson on 8/30 with Dawn of Humans and La Misma. They just put out a new 7" on Iron Lung Records, which you can stream (via Noisey) below.

JULY 12: The Men / Survival / Mercury Rising

Lower are here, share new song off 'Seek Warmer Climes,' play Nothing Changes party tonight, Acheron on Friday
by Bill Pearis
DOWNLOAD: Lower - Soft Option (MP3)
Danish quartet Lower are currently in North America for a few East Coast shows, including two here in NYC: tonight (5/28) at Home Sweet Home with Survival as part of the weekly late night Nothing Changes party ($8 at the door), and then Friday (5/30) at Acheron with Jade Tree signees Dark Blue and La Cruor (tickets).
The group have just shared a second song from their upcoming Matador debut, Seek Warmer Climes, out June 17. Where "Lost Weight, Perfect Skin," was on the strident side, new single "Soft Option" is a little more melodic, with a chorus that recalls early-'80s bands like The Chameleons and The Sound. You can download it above and watch its video -- along with a couple other tracks from the LP and the band's current tour schedule -- below.

Punk Island needs your help; partial 2014 lineup revealed; Sad Boys playing Lulu's before Japan tour
by Ian Chainey
No man is an island. A punk fest? Yeah, we'll allow it.
The colossal Punk Island show spanning various stages in Staten Island on June 21 still requires your support. Last Thursday, the free, all-ages fest presented by MMNY and a Bunch of Punx hit its Kickstarter goal of $9,000. However, this only covers the "bare essentials," per the organizers. Thus, additional support has been requested, along with the news that benefit shows will also be scheduled to help lighten the financial load.
As it currently stands, Punk Island will feature a bill of nearly 100 bands and will encompass seven stages. Beginning in April, Punk Island's Facebook page has announced sets of 14 bands every Monday. Both the stages and currently confirmed bands are listed below. Needless to say, there's a ton more to come.
In other NYC punk news, Sad Boys have scheduled one last Brooklyn date before leaving to tour Japan. The Ground Zero compilation contributors will be joined by Survival, Creeping Dose, and Closet Case at Lulu's on May 8. Tickets are $7 at the door. The show description also mentions, ". . .a fucking balls to the wall 90s ass dance party," following the event in case you weren't sold already.
Find below the announced-so-far roster for Punk Island, a list of stages, and a particularly infectious Sad Boys set recorded for KBOO in 2013.

What's going on Tuesday? (The Horrors, Nickel Creek, The Both, Nick Diamonds, Alden Penner, David Lynch & more)
The Horrors at ATP I'll Be Your Mirror 2011 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
The Horrors, Spires @ House of Vans
The Horrors' new album, Luminous, continues their don't-look-back escape from their garagey beginnings, and heads further into widescreen, groovy (at times Bunnymen-eque) pop. The record is out next week but you can get an early taste tonight. A free show, but RSVP is full. If you're going, be sure to get there for likeminded Brooklynites Spires.
David Lynch @ Brooklyn Academy of Music
The acclaimed director will be talking with the New York Public Library's Paul Holdengräber about "his many passions, including painting, music, Transcendental Meditation, and, of course, film." We hope hair care comes up too. Sold out, as you might expect.
Nickel Creek, Secret Sisters @ Beacon Theater
Though Chris Thile has been very active with his band Punch Brothers for the past few years, he's now reunited with Nickel Creek who are releasing new music and touring for the first time since their 2007 breakup. Tonight they're at Beacon Theater for a sold-out show.
The Both, Nick Diamonds @ Bowery Ballroom
Ted Leo and Aimee Mann have been collaborating for a couple years now, and this year they finally got out their debut album as The Both. Tonight's the first of two NYC shows on this tour, and is sold out. Opening is a solo set from Nick Diamonds of The Unicorns and Islands.
Alden Penner, Softspot, Vassals, Xander Duell @ Glasslands
Speaking of solo sets from Unicorns members, Alden Penner also plays one at Glasslands tonight. His is in support of his new solo record, Exegesis, and this is his second NYC show of the week.
Survival, Advaeta, Public Hex, CCTV @ Death By Audio
Tonight's show is a benefit for organizers in Guatamala to Resist Gold Corp and features a host of dark, postpunky bands.
Say Hi, Big Scary @ Mercury Lounge
Barsuk labelmates Say Hi and Big Scary bring their tour to Rough Trade tonight for their first of two NYC shows this week. It's been a while since Say Hi played here, so if you've been needing to see them tonight's a good chance to remedy that.
Cosmonaut, Butter The Children, OxenFree, Cave Needles, Water @ Pianos
Local band Cosmoutnaut concludes their Pianos residency tonight, featuring support from, among others, the shoegazy pop of Butter the Children.
Jolie Holland, People Get Ready @ Union Pool

Styles P, Funkmaster Flex, Chris Rivers, The Incomparable Shakespeare, Fame @ The Wick

The Skull Defekts released a new LP, touring, playing 2 NYC shows w/ Daniel Higgs, including Trans Pecos BBQ (dates)
Swedish experimental rockers The Skull Defekts, who count Lungfish's Daniel Higgs as a member, released their newest album with him on board, Dances in Dreams of the Known Unknown, earlier this year via Thrill Jockey. You can get a taste of that from the trippy video for single "The Known Unknown" below.
The Skull Defekts are supporting that album with a short US tour that kicks off in Chicago on Tuesday (4/29). While Daniel Higgs will not be with The Skull Defekts on most of this tour, he will join them at their NYC shows which happen on May 3 at Trans Pecos with PC Worship, Ornament and Zomes (DJs); and May 4 at The Studio at Webster Hall with Sannhet and Survival.
The Trans Pecos show is an afternoon outdoor show, with a BBQ starting at 3:30 PM and the music starting at 4:30 PM. No advance tickets for that one, but tickets for the Studio show are on sale now.
All dates are listed, with that video, below...

California's furious hardcore punk band Stoic Violence just released Chained via Deranged Records, a relentlessly punishing 12" that revels in bleakness. The album is here just in time for New York's Alright, the multi-venue punk festival that they play, along with Hank Wood, La Misma, Anasazi and many more. Give it a listen below.
New York's Alright begins tonight (4/17) and continues through Sunday (4/20). Stoic Violence's set happens at Le Poisson Rouge on Saturday (4/19) with Infernoh, Crazy Spirit, Gas Rag, Wiccans and Murderer. Tickets for that show are still available.
As mentioned, Stoic Violence also kick off a tour after NY's Alright. When we last spoke, those dates were still TBA but have now been announced, including another NYC show happening on May 1 at Lulu's with Survival and Pleasure Industry.
Check out the full New York's Alright schedule HERE. All Stoic Violence dates are listed, along with their album stream, below...

Pleasure Leftists (photo by Rosalee Bernabe)
Cleveland post-punks Pleasure Leftists have a few dates coming up supporting fellow Cleveland band Cloud Nothings, and after that they'll be touring Europe. But in between those two tours, they'll squeeze in a headlining appearance in NYC at Saint Vitus on April 25. Also on that show is Philly trio Dark Blue (mems Clockcleaner, Paint It Black, Purling Hiss), plus two NYC post-punk bands, Survival and Failed States. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but you can check Ticketfly for updates. All dates are listed below.
Following releases on small trusty labels Fan Death and Katorga Works, Pleasure Leftists teamed up with another small trust label, Deranged Records (White Lung's pre-Domino home), who put out their most recent 12" in late 2013. It's 5 songs of dark, driving post-punk and can be streamed in its entirety below.
Meanwhile, you can catch Dark Blue at Saint Vitus much sooner, when they open for Nothing at the Brooklyn venue tonight (3/20). That show also features local post-metallers Sannhet and industrial noise crew York Factory Complaint, and is sold out.
All Pleasure Leftists dates are listed, with their 12" stream and a Dark Blue song, below...

Occultation at Saint Vitus, 2012 (more by Caroline Harrison)
After a relatively quiet autumn, NYC-based creepy crawlers Occultation (who share guitarist Ed Miller with the great black metal band Negative Plane) will take their, erm, occult rock on the road for the second time this year in December. The six-day tour kicks off with an appearance at the Acheron on December 4, along with the thoroughly un-Google-able punk band Survival (not the Liturgy side project), Yautja, and Razorheads. The tour then loops out towards the midwest, including a Chicago stop on December 7 at the Ultralounge.
Tickets for the NYC date are on sale now. All dates are listed, along with an Occultation track stream, below...

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

Unsurprisingly, Modern Life Is War's October 12 show at the Studio at Webster Hall with Night Birds and Deathcycle has sold out. The recently-reunited Iowan hardcore band has consequently booked a second late-night set at Saint Vitus, also on 10/12. Tickets will go on sale Thursday (9/5) at noon, with support from Incendiary and Survival (the punk band, not the HHH-related project).
Stream the title track from MLIW's new album Fever Hunting, which came out this Tuesday, below, followed by a multi-cam MLIW set from This Is Hardcore 2013. Details for the LP and all tour dates are listed below as well.

What's going on Friday? (Shellshag, Black Kids, Eric Copeland, The Love Goat, Aye Nako, Pity Sex, AGBPOL and more)
Shellshag @ MHOW in February (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Eric Copeland @ Bowery Ballroom in April (more by PSquared Photography)
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows. Here are some highlights...
Eric Copeland, Regal Degal, Greatest Hits @ 285 Kent Avenue
Black Dice's Eric Copeland released his new solo album, Joke In The Hole, earlier this summer and is a total schizo freakout. Expect similar terrorizing sonics tonight, plus a set from Regal Degal.
JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, The Rooks @ Brooklyn Bowl
Chicago's "post-punk soul" innovator JC Brooks brings his unique, compelling Sound uptown (Brooklyn) for a fun night competing against the sounds of falling pins.
We Barbarians, Sacco, Isadora @ Cameo Gallery
Long Beach trio We Barbarian's sound is not a million miles away from Bear Hands or Local Natives, making dancefloor friendly rock.
Kicking Spit, Shellshag, Black Wine, Nuclear Santa Claust @ Death By Audio
It's an all Don Giovanni bill tonight at Death by Audio with lo-fi rockers Kicking Spit, veteran DIY duo Shellshag, power-pop-y rockers Black Wine, and Ramonesy punks Nuclear Santa Claust. Should be a great time.
Black Kids, Junior Prom @ Mercury Lounge
Victims of overhype success, lets not forget that what got these Floridians into the mess was some really catchy, likable songs. After a few years out from under the microscope, Black Kids are back and we're hoping for the best.
Bear Hands, The Coathangers, The Death Set, Pity Sex, EULA, Dead//Beat @ Paper Box
This stacked bill at The Paper Box is dubbed Blackout Summer '13 and it features some great bands, including garage punks The Coathangers, dance punks The Death Set, emo kids-turned-shoegazers Pity Sex, noise rockers EULA, and more.
Math the Band, Sparxx, Efraim, Murdertonics (DJ set) @ Shea Stadium
Math the Band have recently opened for bands like Peelander-Z and Andrew WK, and seeing them only once will show you exactly why. This duo is more concerned with rock for the sake of fun rather than for the sake of art. So even if you don't know the songs, head on over to Shea Stadium and party.
mewithoutYou, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves @ The Bell House
mewithoutYou have done just about everything from post-hardcore to art rock to indie folk in the course of their decade-plus career, and it's probably fair to expect a mix of all of that tonight. Meanwhile, Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves make some of the best chilled out, start-stop emo since Minus the Bear, making this a great double bill.
Ovlov, Two Inch Astronaut, LVL UP, Flagland @ Union Pool
It's a night of loud rock at Union Pool with traditionalist indie rock from Ovlov, smart post-hardcore from Two Inch Astronaut, deceptively-slacker rock from LVL UP, and garage rock from Flagland.
Ladytron (DJ set), Sinden, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandtheft, Lauren Flax, Swizzymack @ Pier 78
This is a two-part danceparty with a diverse mix of DJs and performers: first half taking place on Pier 78 (West Side Highway and 38th St) and then at midnight it moves on the Hudson via the Star of Palm Beach cruiser.
The Love Goat, Action Swingers, Degreaser, BeauSoleil @ Cake Shop
The Love Goat is the exciting and new project from Lubricated Goat's Stu Spasm. Come aboard, they're expecting you. The night also features fellow Aussie punks Degreaser.
Bicep, Maxxi Soundsystem, Pional, JDH & Dave P @ Highline Ballroom
Dance all night at Highline Ballroom for this Fixed + Verboten party with Simian Mobile Disco collaborator Bicep, UK house producer Maxxi Soundsystem, John Talabot collaborator Pional, and Fixed regulars JDH + Dave P. 11 PM doors.
New Power Generation, Secret Band @ City Winery
It's "Purple Week" at City Winery and tonight's show is not Prince (or an artist formerly known as that) but it is members of his sometimes backing band, New Power Generation, plus the promise of "very special guests." For the price of these tickets, they better be special.
Survival @ Saint Vitus
Liturgy's Hunter Hunt Hendrix's new project, Survival, explores some completely different themes, delving into post-hardcore while dabbling with the vocal experimentation that marked some of his other band's releases.
Aye Nako, Priests, Tomboy, Bad Behavior @ The Living Gallery
Brooklyn's Aye Nako, who do pop punk right, and fiercely intense DC post-punks Priests are teaming up for a show at the Living Gallery tonight, which makes for one hell of a show. Brooklyn's punky Bad Behavior are worth catching too. You can stream their recent Never Trust a Dolphin EP, below.

Iceage at Bowery Ballroom, April 2013 (more by Fred Pessaro)
As discussed, Iceage have announced another set of NYC shows set for The Acheron over two nights: look for the band at The Acheron on October 15 with Believer/Law (tickets) and October 16 with Survival, the punk band and not the HHH-related project (tickets).

Vampire Weekend at Roseland Ballroom last month (more by Robert Altman)
The new Vampire Weekend album, Modern Vampires of the City, comes out on May 14 via XL, but you can now listen to the whole thing ahead of its release date on iTunes. Similarly to Contra's relationship to their debut, Modern Vampires of the City doesn't drastically different from its predecessor, but it works new subtleties into their sound which make the new record as essential as the first two. There's huge hooks here, great production, and as always, a few eccentricities thrown in too.
Vampire Weekend just played Roseland Ballroom, and their tour has them playing a much larger hometown show on September 20 at Barclays Center (tickets). In the midst of all that they made videos with Steve Buscemi, played Coachella, were just announced for ACL Music Fest, and will be on SNL this week. Streams of three tracks from the new album are below.
Survival / Classixx
You can also stream the psychedelic alt-metal self titled debut LP from Liturgy's Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's new project, Survival, over at Pitchfork. Their release party for the album happens this Thursday (5/9) at Acheron (tickets).
You can stream the dance-y new Classixx record, Hanging Gardens, over at NPR. Their tour has them opening for The Presets at Terminal 5 on Wednesday (5/8) (tickets), and they'll play their own NYC show in June.
John Grant, who recently played NYC, and returns on tour in July, is giving his new synth-filled album, Pale Green Ghosts, a US release on May 14 via Partisan and you can listen to it now over at Paste.
Talib Kweli's new guest-filled LP, Prisoner of Conscious, came out today (5/7) and it can be streamed in full at Billboard.
Vampire Weekend song streams below...

Nude Beach ready new 7" & playing shows; one w/ Vacation, who are releasing an LP on Don Giovanni (dates & streams)
by Andrew Sacher
Nude Beach at Bowery Ballroom in March (more by David Andrako)
Brooklyn power pop rockers Nude Beach play a lot of local shows, and that will be no different this summer, for which they've already got two scheduled. First, they'll play an all ages show on June 16 at Fitness (1196 Myrtle Ave in Brooklyn) with Nervosas, Vacation, and Survival (not the one with Hunter Hunt-Hendrix). Admission for that show is $7 at the door. Then, they'll play a less DIY (but also all ages) venue on July 5 at Knitting Factory with Prince Rupert's Drops. Tickets for that show are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
Amongst all these gigs, Nude Beach are releasing a new 7" single on Other Music and you can stream the b-side below.
Cincinnati's Vactation, who open the Fitness show (and are on tour with Nervosas) are set to release their new album, Candy Waves, on June 18 via Don Giovanni (Waxahatchee, Screaming Females). The first single from the album, "Pyro Hippies," is a pop punk basher and it sounds like the kind of thing that's going to get kids on their feet on the band's tour this summer. Maybe you caught them in Brooklyn last year with Swearin' and Tenement?
Stream "Pyro Hippies" and the new Nude Beach track, along with the video for Nude Beach's "Radio" and all lists of tour dates, below...

Hopscotch announces 2013 lineup (Big Boi, Sleep, Spiritualized, Kurt Vile, Wolf Eyes, John Cale, more)

I know what you're thinking by looking at the above promo photo, but Survival is light years away from the "transcendental black metal" or possibly "white metal" that shot guitarist/vocalist Hunter Hunt-Hendrix into the spotlight with Liturgy. In fact, the new project explores some completely different themes, delving into post-hardcore while dabbling into the vocal experimentation that marked some of the Liturgy releases. Check out the new track "Tragedy of the Mind" below from the band's forthcoming self-titled LP due on May 14 via Thrill Jockey.
The release of the new LP will be celebrated with a show at Acheron on May 9, when the band joins Alan Watts, STATS and Vaporizer as part of a Record Release celebration at the venue. Tickets are on sale.
Two members of Survival also play in the more hardcore-oriented Crushed, who are readying a release around the same time too. The band will drop their new Losing Shit EP with a celebration at Acheron on 5/8, joined by Sabertooth Zombie, Power and Go Deep (tickets). Stream that EP in full, and the new Survival track, below.

Total Control at Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Yesterday news broke that UV Race were heading out on the road as part of a tour toward Chaos in Tejas. Part of those dates were with the great Total Control, though the band were not involved in the UV Race show scheduled in NYC for that week. (TC is some of UV Race plus Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring.) Now comes word that an NYC show has indeed emerged for Total Control, and the bill is a whopper! Look for the band to headline 285 Kent on May 23 with Raspberry Bulbs, Crazy Spirit and Survival. $10 gets you in.
If you haven't checked out Total Control's recent 7"s (compiled into a single digital release) and their incredible 2011 LP Henge Beat you can stream some of those below.
Bill wrote in the post about Mikey Young's other other band, Oooga Boogas, "Trying to keep up with Eddy Current Suppression Ring-related bands can be a fulltime job." Now comes word of yet another related project, Lace Curtain, which is "James, David & Mikey from Total Control, Rat Columns, Rank/Xerox, Eddy Current Suppression Ring et al." Lace Curtain (singular) are not to be confused with Lace Curtains (plural) which is Michael Coomer of Harlem's band. Though it is confusing. Anyway, Lace Curtain have an EP coming out on DFA Records next month and can be pre-ordered here and you can stream samples over at Juno.
Updated UV Race/Total Control dates, plus those TC streams, are below.

Bay area punks Neon Piss released their self titled LP back in May on the consistently great Deranged Records, the label currently home to White Lung and once home to Fucked Up. And if you're a fan of the no-bullshit punk of either of those bands, you'll dig Neon Piss too. It's in the lineage of fast, ferocious Cali punk penned by Black Flag, The Germs, The Adolescents, and their peers. [The Damned / Alternative TV too - Bill] And like those bands, strong underlying melodies are always hiding behind their buzzsaw guitars and pummeling drums. You can stream the release in its entirety below or purchase it at bandcamp.
The band are playing a hometown show with Nu Sensae next week and the following month, they'll bring their show on the road, hitting NYC on November 16 at Death by Audio with a genre-appropriate bill of Nuclear Spring, Survival, and Shoxx. The band also plans to have a new 7" out on Vinyl Rites by the time the tour begins.
A video of the band playing at long-running Bay Area venue 924 Gilman, their album stream, and a list of all tour dates (some are still TBA) below.
