Girls not afraid to bare it all
Chet "JR" White is evidently unconcerned with endearing himself to the ink-stained wretch on the other end of the telephone line. During his conversation with the Straight, the Girls bassist, reached at a tour stop in Washington, D.C., declares "Music press sucks." White has a point, mind you, and it has less to do with the people asking the questions than it does with those answering them. Musicians nowadays, he contends, are just plain dull.
"I hate reading music journalism, to be honest with you, because it's all become such a boring, stale thing where you always know what a band's going to say," White continues. "It never changes. It's always the same. And it feeds itself, where the interviewer is bored and you wonder, does this person even care? They must not."
No one has ever accused the San Francisco–based Girls of being boring, and it doesn't hurt that frontman Christopher Owens has a back story that journalists haven't yet tired of mining for material. The singer was born into the Children of God, a religious cult that, among other things, forbade its followers to listen to contemporary pop music. Owens spent his childhood moving around Asia and Europe, with his father long gone and his mother occasionally forced into prostitution at the behest of the cult. When he finally got out and moved back to the United States, he fell in with a punk-rock crowd and was eventually taken under the wing of Texas oil heir and fringe art provocateur Stanley Marsh 3. (There's more, but it'll probably be a movie someday, so I'll spare you the spoilers.)
These days, Owens doesn't bother to censor himself, whether he's discussing his unabashed love of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber or telling Pitchfork about the upside of his ongoing addiction to "heavy opiates": "It allows you to focus on one thing—I can pinpoint an idea or an emotion while very heavily medicated, which is how I write most of my songs."
Such an admission is par for the course, and White reveals that he and Owens agreed right from the start that full disclosure would be their modus operandi when dealing with the media, if for no other reason than to keep things from getting predictable. "I remember having conversations with him where we were both like, 'We should just be honest. We should make press worth reading,' " says White. "In the '70s and the '60s you used to read interviews—read, like, the old collected Rolling Stone articles and stuff—and it was great. They're fun to read, and I have no reference to any modern band where they talk and it's interesting, you know? They're only interesting because you've elevated them to god levels in your own head. No one ever says anything cool, or expresses anything truthful."
Personal revelations aside, the real story with Girls right now is one of artistic growth. The group released its sophomore full-length, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, in mid September to nearly universal acclaim. Like its predecessor, 2009's Album, the new LP showcases Owens's enthrallment with pop music and his seemingly effortless knack for creating hooks. Where that first disc was a sometimes shambolic, lo-fi enterprise, however, Father, Son, Holy Ghost is a widescreen production with the sonic depth of a classic-rock record. Its centrepiece is inarguably "Vomit", which clocks in at 6:24 and opens with a simple guitar arpeggio before unfolding into a bona fide rock 'n' roll epic, complete with blistering six-string leads and choral backing vocals.
White, who had the sole production credit on Album and last year's Broken Dreams Club EP, coproduced the disc with engineer Doug Boehm, working at San Francisco's Golden Gate Recording Studio. He says that, although much has been made of the new record's expansive aesthetic, there isn't quite as much to the songs as there appears to be. In part, the bigger sound comes courtesy of the improved production values and musicianship.
"If you really listen to a lot of pop songs, you'll realize that the whole chorus is just the drums and the singing, and maybe the bass, but something about a strong hook gives the impression of something fantastic going on, and of a lot of things going on," White notes. "But if you break down classic pop songs, they're super minimal. I actually think we sort of restrained ourselves on this record a little bit."
The bassist-producer says that hiring gospel singers to add backing parts to songs such as the aforementioned "Vomit" and the vintage-soul workout "Love Like a River" was one of the few indulgences he and Owens allowed themselves.
"We have them soloing and riffing, which is a little extravagant, but in the end I tend to be the one pushing this idea of less is more," White says. "Maybe we don't need two guitar tracks on this song; maybe there only needs to be one guitar and it can play the rhythm and the solo. There were points when we were recording when we were like, 'I wish we had strings, and then a horn section for this melody,' you know? At some point we just felt that we were both trying not to do that. It felt like it didn't need to go there."
It seems, then, that the boys in Girls are indeed capable of exercising some restraint—just not while being interviewed.
Girls plays the Biltmore Cabaret on Tuesday (October 4).

"By no means did we sit weeping on the banks of the waters of Babylon," wrote composer Viktor Ullmann during the last years of his life, spent with fellow artists at the Nazi-controlled Theresienstadt concentration camp in Terezín. "Our endeavor with respect to arts was commensurate with our will to live."
Ullmann's will to create was considerable in Terezín, an old Czech fortress town converted by the Gestapo into a ghetto for prisoners typically destined to die at Auschwitz. An echo of his passion will be heard this weekend at two Benaroya Hall performances of Ullmann's 1943-44 satirical opera "The Emperor of Atlantis," produced in a staged version by Music of Remembrance (MOR), a Seattle nonprofit dedicated to music of and about the Holocaust.
Directed by Erich Parce, this "Emperor" involves a noteworthy creative partnership between MOR and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. A 15-piece chamber ensemble will include symphony musicians and will be conducted by SSO music director Ludovic Morlot. The all-Northwest vocal cast includes baritone Victor Benedetti, sopranos Megan Chenovick and Kimberly Giordano, tenors Ross Hauck and Marc Shelton, and bass-baritone Jonathon Silvia.
A prolific writer of music for voice, chamber orchestra, piano, woodwind and more before his arrest in Prague in 1942, Ullmann — raised by parents who had converted from Judaism to Catholicism — continued to produce an extraordinary amount of compositions at Theresienstadt.
"The irony," says MOR artistic director Mina Miller, "is that Ullmann, raised Catholic, discovered his Jewish heritage in a concentration camp. Among other things at Terezín, he arranged Yiddish and Hebrew folk songs, and wrote a song cycle on Yiddish melodies."
One of Ullmann's last works, "Emperor," an idiosyncratic one-act skewering Hitler, helped assure his death in the gas chambers at Auschwitz in October 1944. Also killed was "Emperor's" librettist, Peter Kien, and, says Miller, the cast of the opera's canceled premiere at Theresienstadt.
"It's a searing portrait of a world gone mad," says Miller, "with a murderous ruler, certainly a metaphor for Hitler. It mocked him in every possible way, including a drummer character obviously based on (Hitler companion) Eva Braun. " 'Emperor' is such a statement of moral protest that when authorities saw rehearsals, they banned it."
"Emperor" is the story of a global despot who enlists an old ally, Death, in a campaign to rid paradise of humans. But Death has other ideas, resulting in the emperor's change of heart and a sacrifice to free his subjects from pain.
Born in 1898 in an area now divided between Poland and the Czech Republic, Ullmann's music was strongly influenced by composer Arnold Schoenberg. Most of his 41 works before arrest are now gone. But the majority of his Theresienstadt compositions exist today.
In an odd twist, the 1975 world premiere of "Emperor" in Amsterdam involved an infamous psychic, Rosemary Brown, who claimed Ullmann's spirit guided her in preparing a performance edition. MOR has embraced a subsequent publisher's version based on careful research.
"I always had 'Emperor' on the back burner," says Miller. "Considering this is the 15th season of Music of Remembrance, I thought, let's just go ahead."
Miller says Morlot was "very excited to be involved, and strict about using the specific instruments" called for in Ullmann's eclectic orchestration, including banjo, harpsichord, guitar and saxophone.
"We've gone to great lengths to get a 19th-century harmonium," Miller says. "The orchestration has a Kurt Weill feeling. It's even somewhat out of tune."
London's The Independent calls "Emperor" "a brittle, sophisticated cabaret, a nostalgic romance, a Chaplinesque satire, a declaration of defiance."
" 'Emperor' is a stinging attack on war," says Miller, "and a passionate affirmation of life."

Availability of Roadside Assistance: Good
Belgian urban highways are generally well built and maintained with extensive lighting systems, but rain and fog often reduce visibility. Rural roads are less likely to be illuminated at night. Belgian rules for right-of-way differ from those in the U.S., and new drivers should thoroughly understand these rules before driving in Belgium. The maximum speed limit on Belgian highways is 120 kilometers (72 miles) per hour, but it is posted only at Belgium's borders and on roads leaving major airports. Claims of ignorance may not prevent a significant fine for speeding, which can also lead to the vehicle's being impounded if the driver is unable to pay the fine on the spot in Belgian Francs. Belgian police also conduct breath analyzer checks for alcohol use, particularly at night and during major holidays.
Roadside assistance and information on road conditions are available in English from Touring Assistance at tel: 070-344-777, which is a free call within Belgium. Belgian police will also provide information on road conditions at tel: 02-642-6666.
For specific information concerning Belgian driver's permits, vehicle inspection, road tax and mandatory insurance, contact the Belgian National Tourist Organization offices in New York at tel: 212-758-6130 or via the Internet at http://visitbelgium.com. For information about international driving permits, please contact AAA or the American Automobile Touring Alliance.
Belgian customs authorities encourage the use of an ATA (Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission) Carnet for the temporary admission of professional equipment, commercial samples, and/or goods for exhibitions and fair purposes. ATA Carnet Headquarters, located at the U.S. Council for International Business, 1212 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, issues and guarantees the ATA Carnet in the United States. For additional information, call (212) 354-4480, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://www.uscib.org for details.
While most forms of monetary transactions are available (cash, credit cards), U.S. money orders cannot be negotiated in Belgium. Personal checks may only be cleared through a bank at which a person holds an account. Banks and exchange facilities may refuse U.S. dollar denominations of $50.00 and $100.00 if they are not equipped with devices to identify counterfeit currency. Automated Teller Machines (ATM's) are widespread in Belgium and they accept most U.S. ATM cards to withdraw funds. Travelers seeking to purchase Belgian Francs are likely to find a favorable exchange rate at banks than at money exchange facilities located at tourist locations, train stations and airports.

Synergy – the term is probably used too much in investment banking circles. I would bet that there are more synergies discussed than actually pan out in the real world. And if you ask a dozen investment bankers to define it, most would come up with the old 2+2= 5 analogy. Synergy is like beauty: tough to define but you know it when you see it.
That's why I always keep my eyes open for scenarios that are truly synergistic to share with you folks. A merger was recently announced that involved two companies that had been operating as separate portfolio companies for The CapStreet Group, a private equity firm located in Houston that "invests in growing middle market companies in Texas and other Sunbelt states and partners with management to accelerate growth and improve profitability."

My JD 318 is eating batteries. After 15 minutes of run time on a fresh battery the battery light will come on. After 1 hour of run time the battery is down to 60%. Can't find an obvious grounding issue. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Wed, Oct 2, 13 at 11:06
Apparently this has the ONAN engine. It appears there could be a couple different models of this engine installed. Alternator specifications vary, so if you could provide the specific Model#, ie P-218 etc. What is the battery voltage BEFORE you start the engine? I may or may not have specs, depending on the specific engine/charging system. IF the battery voltage is below "normal" at high engine speed, you might want to do a preliminary test of the alternator. Disconnect the plug to the Voltage regulator. |

MOD318X425401 bought in 1987.Battery voltage is 12.49 with engine off. 12.38 at low speed and high speed. 35 VAC at VR with plug pulled and Stator wires still attached. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Fri, Oct 4, 13 at 17:33
What's the Model# of the ENGINE? It would be something like- BF-MS2379B P218-xxxxxx etc. etc. |
- Posted by markwettig none (My Page) on Fri, Oct 11, 13 at 17:04
Onan P218G-I / 10462A S# L863158351 One more note: I added a starter solenoid relay 5 years ago. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Fri, Oct 11, 13 at 20:37
The P series have 3 possible charging systems. One is a 35 amp and the other two are 20 amp. Examine the Voltage Regulator- Hopefully it's the 35 amp, since the 20 amp ones have different minimum output voltages and I really don't know how to identify one from the other. (spec A & Spec B) |
- Posted by markwettig none (My Page) on Mon, Oct 21, 13 at 18:20
Sorry I haven't responded sooner. The VR has 2 leads in the center, one over the other and the third towards the end. |
You might be able to set up a trickle charger on your John Deere 318, and keep the battery maintained that way. A one amp charger will be sufficient, and the low amp charger is best to avoid over charging, which can also shorten battery life. Two days on a one amp charger should be long enough to get the battery fully charged. Then you can run the tractor for a few hours, likely long enough to get your chores done. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Mon, Oct 21, 13 at 23:49
"The VR has 2 leads in the center, one over the other and the third towards the end." That doesn't describe any of the VR's in the ONAN "P" service manual. It should look similar to the one in the link. |

"New Zealand rocker Ladyhawke may sing about Paris burning, but on Wednesday it was New York City that was on fire. At the headliner of the "Perez Hilton Presents" concert at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza, Ladyhawke was well-worth her witching-hour performance, featuring crowd-friendly renditions of "Back of the Van" and "My Delirium." Unfortunately, fellow co-headliner Ida Maria was a no-show because of illness. No matter. The two surprises Hilton pulled out of his sleeve certainly made up for it.By "across town", they mean at Bowery Ballroom where Little Boots also played on Wednesday night (9/16). Ida Maria was in fact a no-show, though the type of illness is unclear - it may have been a case of Perez-itis because she seemed to be doing okay when she performed at the Betsey Johnson fashion show a night or two earlier. Officially it became this:"I'm marveling that I was able to pull it off, because I've never put on a tour before," Hilton told MTV News. "The reason why I'm doing the tour, the reason I have a record label, the reason why I write about music on my Web site is because I think music lovers like sharing good music with other music lovers."...
...Last-minute surprise act Little Boots hit the stage sans her band mates (they were stuck across town) and performed solo with only a piano to accompany her. She thanked Hilton with a run through a haunting cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and was followed by another surprise in Kat DeLuna, whose high-octane hip-swirling show made the walls sweat."

Friday, September 18, 2009One night before the Irving show Ladyhawke played the Apple Store. More pictures from Irving Plaza (NSFW - there were strippers), below...
Ida Maria will not be finishing the current Perez Hilton Presents Tour. She is suffering from total exhaustion and will be heading home to Norway to rest and be under Doctor's care. Her personal statement to everyone is:Dear Friends and Fans. I am so very sorry but I cannot finish this tour. After touring in Scandinavia, Europe, the UK, Australia, Japan and the USA for 3 years straight I am just completely exhausted. I have learned that I am not a superwoman.
I love all the bands, musicians and crew on this tour. Go see these bands! I will be back and look forward to playing you my music both new and old. The new music is in forefront of my mind. Thank you all again. See you soon. I wish you peace.

'New York City concert was hotter than a whore in heat! So amazing!' - Perez Hilton
'Ida Maria appeared to be drunk and phoning it in' in DC, Sep 12 (Francis Chung)
"So, you'd assume that the self-proclaimed "queen of all media" would have been tweeting the crap out of Ida Maria walking off stage at her Boston show on Monday night. Perhaps a few scathing blog posts on his 20-million-hits-per-day web site and maybe some speculation -- totally unwarranted and without any actual, factual reporting -- that drugs and/or alcohol are to blame for the rising star's troubled performance.That interesting, but somewhat unsympathetic article, fails to mention that Ida was crying, and that when she returned, she emotionally finished "Keep Me Warm" before apologizing "in broken English" and then finally leaving the stage for the last time. Video of the incident below.But, no. Not one word was uttered, tweeted, typed or mentioned on any of the multiple social-networking sites to which Perez Hilton regularly contributes and certainly nothing on his astronomically famous web site, PerezHilton.com.
The gossip blogger and frenemy to the stars, has recently been toting his "Perez Presents" tour all over the internet, giving him even further bragging rights (in the past, Perez has taken credit for the successes of Lady GaGa and Mika) for "discovering" new talents Ladyhawke, FrankMusik, Eric Hutchinson, Sliimy, Semi Precious Weapons, and Ida Maria.
Despite the fact that most, if not all of the artists have been touring their home countries -- most artists are from overseas -- for the past year, and anyone who reads any sort of music news would know some of their names, Perez continues to promote his gig as a musical experience worth the $30plus price tag, because it will expose you to a whole "new" world or music.
I'd beg to differ. And I'm sure the mere 250 people who attended the event at the House of Blues [in Boston on Monday, September 14th] would agree, especially once co-headliner Ida Maria had a melt-down during song one-and-a-half, rendering her unable to perform the rest of her set.
The Norwegian rocker seemed less-than-impressed by the dwindling crowd as she took the stage (the three-story music venue can hold more than 2,400 people). She pouted her way through her first tune, refusing to sing the last two lines on the song, and opting, instead, to have a pow-wow with her guitarist, who pleaded with her to continue the performance under hushed mics.
As she led into her second song, the singer put down her own guitar and stood facing the audience folding her arms with an un-entertained, unenthusiastic, "I could care less" look written all over her face, before storming off mid-song leaving her band clueless. After a brief period of confusion, the stage managers reeled out a screen from which the audience could watch music videos. Already angry concert goers booed as Kanye graced the screen. Management were quick to replace his video with Janet, Madonna and of course, Taylor Swift.
Later, Maria would return from her fit back stage to apologize in broken English..." [Boston Daily Free Press]
Two nights earlier at the DC show, things weren't much better...

Little Boots' Tenori-On @ LPR (more by Chris La Putt)
Little Boots is in town to play a sold out show at Bowery Ballroom tonight (9/16) with Plasticines and Yes Giantess. The latter is responsible for the remix you can download on top of this post. The show goes right up against the Perez Hilton tour stop which is happening not that far away at Irving Plaza.
Thanks to a tip by Renaldo, I called Irving Plaza. In addition to a recording saying the show wasn't sold out, it listed these set times:

Meat Puppets
Meat Puppets have a slew of upcoming tour dates: In September, they go across the West Coast with Athens grunge-rock band Dead Confederate, who also joins them on on their October dates in the South (which include a Halloween-in-Houston show with Those Darlins). Meat Puppets then spend November touring the Midwest and East Coast before heading to NC & TN. They visit NYC on east coast leg of that tour for a show at Bowery Ballroom on November 25th. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 11th at noon.
In July, Meat Puppets opened some shows for Stone Temple Pilots which I think is as good a way as any to segue into a mention of "Alice in Chains" who played Irving Plaza in NYC last night (9/8)...
"New vocalist William DuVall (well at this point he's not really new anymore, but I guess he's new-ish) didn't just sing the phrase "Again and again and again" - he belted it, jumping up onto the monitors to give himself just a little extra boost in the rockstar god department. Then, as it came time for him to grunt and signal the start of the "Doo-doo, doo-doo" sing-along section (and sing along the crowd did), DuVall lept off the monitor and started pumping his fist in the air, prompting the audience to do the same. As he finally turned to face drummer Sean Kinney, Kinney started grinning; and then the grin spread across the stage like an infectious disease, and by the end of the song, guitarist Jerry Cantrell and bassist Mike Inez were smiling, too." [Metal SucksMeat Puppets' newest disc, Sewn Together, came out in May, and they played two nights at Mercury Lounge shortly after. The new-ish video for "Rotten Shame" off that record, videos from the Alice in Chains show, and all MP tour dates are posted below...

DOWNLOAD: Death - Politicians In My Eyes (MP3)
Death of Detroit
Forgotten except by the most fervent punk rock record collectors... Death would likely have remained lost in obscurity if not for the discovery last year of a 1974 demo tape in [bassist] Bobby [Hackney]'s attic. Released [in February] by Drag City Records as "... For the Whole World to See," Death's newly unearthed recordings reveal a remarkable missing link between the high-energy hard rock of Detroit bands like the Stooges and MC5 from the late 1960s and early '70s and the high-velocity assault of punk from its breakthrough years of 1976 and '77. Death's songs "Politicians in My Eyes," "Keep On Knocking" and "Freakin Out" are scorching blasts of feral ur-punk, making the brothers unwitting artistic kin to their punk-pioneer contemporaries the Ramones, in New York; Rocket From the Tombs, in Cleveland; and the Saints, in Brisbane, Australia. They also preceded Bad Brains, the most celebrated African-American punk band, by almost five years. [NYTimes]Just a few months after Drag City breathed life into ...For The Whole World To See, Death (not to be confused with the legendary Floridian death metal band featuring the late Chuck Schuldiner) was resurrected. The Brothers Hackney have scheduled three US shows over the last weekend in September in their former hometown of Detroit (they reside in Bulington, VT), Chicago, and Cleveland. They're also now confirmed to play Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest in November.
No word on who will fill the shoes of guitarist David Hackney (he passed from lung cancer in 2000), though odds are one of the Hackney's sons in Rough Francis will probably be elected. Rough Francis, who routinely cover material by Death, will provide support on all dates (minus Fun Fun Fun). Earlier this year they appeared with members of Death at Joey Ramone's 58th birthday show on May 19th at Irving Plaza. Videos of their performance are posted below.
Death's back story is an interesting one:
In 1975 at Detroit's United Sound Studios with engineer Jim Vitti, they recorded seven songs written by David and Bobby. According to the Hackney family, Columbia Records president Clive Davis funded the recording sessions, but asked the band to change its name to something more commercially palatable than Death. When the Hackneys refused, Davis ceased his support. The following year they self-released 500 copies from the session on the 7" single "Politicians in My Eyes" b/w "Keep on Knocking," on their Tryangle label, which eventually became a collectors' item."Politicians In My Eyes", a song that Jack White of The White Stripes/Dead Weather/The Raconteurs described as "ahead of punk, and ahead of their time," is available for download above (and in one of the videos below). The videos and all tour dates are below...

Three-time Grammy Award-winner, and Lost Highway recording artist Lucinda Williams announces a series of special performances to celebrate her 30th anniversary as a recording artist.Tickets for those Irving Plaza dates, including a three-night package, are on sale now.On October 3, 4 & 5 Williams will play a three night stand at New York's The Fillmore at Irving Plaza...The first set of the three-night runs will feature selections from specific periods of Williams celebrated career. The opening night will feature songs from 1979-1989, in which she recorded Ramblin', Happy Woman Blues and Lucinda Williams. The second night will cover music from 1992-2001, when Williams recorded Sweet Old World, and Grammy Award-winners Car Wheels On A Gravel Road and Essence.

Following each opening set will be a full second set of songs from throughout Williams celebrated career...Additional multi-night shows will be added in early 2010.
Williams has also posted a message on her website saying she knows how "tough it is out there during the current economic climate", so she is offering concert-goers discounted merchandise to offset ticket fees that "blatantly gouge" fans (thus giving people an incentive to spend even more money!). That message with all tour dates, below...
To our Tristate Funkateers and Chromettes,The duo will play that NYC gig on Friday, October 16th at Irving Plaza. Tickets are on sale.We'll be doing ONE SHOW in the NY area this fall. This is special...and just for our peeps in our, er, second hometown. This is the only show until the new album comes out -- more info on that in a bit, -- so who knows...maybe we'll test out a couple of the new songs too *cough cough*... [Chromeo]
In other news, Chromeo put together a new mix for !K7 Records' DJ-KiCKS series. Arists mixed and remixed on the disc include oldies Leo Sayer, France Joli and Alan Parsons Project, and new acts Lifelike and Chateau Marmont. Chromeo's contribution will be the first in the series since Booka Shade's Numbers in 2007.
Their cover of the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why," which appears on the mix, is currently available for free through Chromeo-DJKiCKS.com.
Before the Irving Plaza show, Chromeo's upcoming schedule brings them to L.A.'s Hard Fest in August (but not the NYC edition happening on October 10th) as well as Monolith Festival in September. They've been on the festival circuit this summer, most recently playing a set at Camp Bisco on July 17th (where it looks like the weather was not so nice). A video from their set at Rothbury Fest in June, which isn't the best quatlity but gives you a good idea of their live show, with a clip from their appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba (the song is about washing your hands), with all tour dates, below...

Live Nation santas outside Irving Plaza - 7/14/2009 (Jason DeCrow/AP Images)
Live Nation has been dealing with the recession, or at least their recession, by putting tickets on sale like crazy this summer. They've been continuing week after week with their No Service Fee Wednesdays (for lawn tickets at amphitheater shows). This past Tuesday they sent multiple Santa Clauses to give out tickets outside Irving Plaza here in NYC. And there are $5.00 ticket promotions running for both Citi Cardmember holders and Subway sub eaters (code = Subway$5tix). NYC show tickets you can get for $5.00 include Pinback, Bob Mould, Son Volt, Alice in Chains AND STRYPER, Suffocation (playing with Necrophagist on Sunday), Marduk, Obituary, Vader and KMFDM, Brian Wilson in Westbury, and Motorhead, Psychedelic Furs, Happy Mondays, and Islands. Supposedly Pet Shop Boys are $5.00 too, but I can't get that to work.
DOWNLOAD: Son Volt - Down To The Wire (MP3)
Aquarium Drunkard: The new record seems like it's a combination of everything within Son Volt, all the way back to Trace [the band's 1995 debut] - it seems like something that spans the 13 or 14 years of the band.Son Volt's new album, American Central Dust, its sixth, comes out July 7th on Rounder Records. That's a week after Farrar's ex-Uncle Tupelo bandmate Jeff Tweedy & Wilco put out their seventh LP, Wilco (The Album).Jay Farrar (of Son Volt): That's interesting. Perhaps that's true. I'm not sure. [laughs] All I do know is that I follow wherever inspiration takes the writing and you have to get away from certain kinds of instrumentation, like violin, in order to really feel like starting to use it again.
AD: The new album has this prevalent dark feel to it - in a certain sense - even though there are songs that escape that. There's this sense of, as one of the songs says, that there's "no turning back." You talked about this being a more focused record, but can you explain how the album title ties in with that?
JF: Basically they are three words that were pulled from three different songs - "American," "central" and "dust." I've done that before, but it seems like that's the best way to come up with a representative title for all of the songs.
Tweedy & Co. are on tour this summer. So are Son Volt. They'll play a co-headlining tour with the Cowboy Junkies in July. Then, Son Volt picks up for a second leg in September. Those dates include a show at NYC's Irving Plaza on September 17th. Tickets are on sale now.
American Central Dust's twelve songs include "Down to the Wire," which is posted above, and "Cocaine and Ashes," a song allegedly about Keith Richards and that incident that happened a few years ago. Album art and tracklist are below with all tour dates...

"Nouvelle Vague went on stage at 10:20 after Electric Black played their second live show (ever). The band made a pledge of solidarity with the protesting Iranian public - with green scarves ties to the mic stands.Though their new album NV3 doesn't even have a release date in the US yet, the French cover band decided to pay a short visit to the US this week. This weekend there are two shows in California (dates below). This week there was a show in DC, and one on Wednesday night at Irving Plaza in NYC (6/17).NV played a good mix of new and old material the highlight of the show was when

The Jesus Lizard @ the primavera festival - May 2009 (Miss Rosa)
"Touch & Go Records is going to reissue the Pure EP and the albums Head, Goat, Liar, and Down on September 22, 2009. These records have been remastered and sound noticeably better than the original releases. All of the albums will include songs from the 7' singles and other rarities as bonus tracks." [David Wm. Sims]More Jesus Lizard dates have been confirmed, and as hoped, but expected, there are shows in NYC (2 of them!). Slightly unexpected is that those city shows will come over two months after the band make an appearance further upstate at the ATP festival (which is a month after they play a show for Pitchfork in Chicago).
The NYC shows are November 16th and 17th at Irving Plaza. Tickets for the first one go on sale Friday, June 19th, at noon. The second is isn't listed at Live Nation yet. The Jesus Lizard are also playing the 9:30 Club in DC on November 19th. All dates and reissue track lists, below...

Bob Mould @ Joe's Pub in April (more by Jacob Blickenstaff)
Bob Mould will head out on a full band North American tour this October. That includes a show at NYC's Irving Plaza on Thursday, October 8th. Tickets for that go on sale Wednesday, June 10th at noon. Sets on the tour will include material from "Husker Du to Sugar to Mould's latest Life And Times."
Bob Mould toured solo earlier this year (accompanied on some songs by a bassist/guitarist). The tour included a two-nights run at Joe's Pub. This time his band members will be Richard Morel on keyboard, Jon Wurster on drums, and Jason Narducy on bass.
Bob Mould brings his traveling Blowoff dance party to NYC's Highline Ballroom on June 26th and September 18th. Tickets for those DJ dates are on sale.
We speculated that Mould might be appearing as a guest vocalist with No Age at ATP NY, as the band will perform a Husker Du LP in full. The two have performed together before -- a video of No Age and Bob Mould performing "Miner" and "New Day Rising" in March 2009, with all tour dates, below...

Aaron Turner of Isis
Isis, assisted by Chi-town's Pelican and local heroes Tombs, hit up Irving Plaza on June 2nd as part of a larger tour for the ex-Boston, now-LA band. The Irving Plaza show marks the home stretch for Pelican and Tombs who have basically been on tour since March, having hit up SXSW and joined forces with Wolves In The Throne Room (who recently played NYC).
Klaus Kinski was at the show Tuesday night, he writes...

In their first NYC show in eight years, and first since the return of legendary vokillist Attilla Csihar, Mayhem played Irving Plaza last night (5/21) as part of The Blackened Fest with Cephalic Carnage, Withered, and Lair of The Minotaur. When I arrived, I was greeted by quite a few disappointed faces due to an announcement that Marduk would not be performing. Word is that there was an issue with their flights, and that their appearance at Maryland Death Fest tonight is in jeopardy as well. Hopefully Baltimore will have more luck than we did.
Missing Lair Of The Minotaur completely, Withered were setting up when I arrived at the venue. The Atlanta foursome's Weakling-inspired take on Black Metal pleased the sea of Mayhem and (sadly) Marduk tee-shirt wearers. I am not one to encourage/mix it up in the pit (anymore), but it was good to see a considerable amount of movement for the upstart band.
Cephalic Carnage's weed-tech-grind followed, along with dedications to cheetos, masturbation, and glass pipes (that they also sold at the merch table!), and props like a horse mask. It was well-executed and entertaining, but somewhat of a mild comedown following the energetic and pummeling assault of Withered.
Finally, the night belonged to the black metal pioneers. Mayhem took the stage a little before 10:30, playing a set that lasted until before midnight, when they retired sans encore. The core duo of Hellhammer and Necrobutcher with live members Morfeus and Silmaeth banged out rapid-fire blasts of black metal fury, spanning their entire discography.
For all of their impressive technical prowess and energy (lots), the highlight of their live set is the infinitely watchable Attila Csihar. Attila's formidable on-stage presence can only be described as dictatorial; he towers over his bandmates, gives the thumbs down as if he is deciding the fate of a man's life, punctuates lyrics with a clenched fist, and barks at his devoted minions with his thick Hungarian accent. In between a pair of impaled "heads", Attila sang from behind a "tree stump" podium which doubled as an area to hide both effects triggers and various gross-out props. Attila made sure to fondle and rub his face against those heads and an IV cart with dangling arm for further nauseating effect. Kitschy? a little. Fun/ny? Definitely.
Besides being visually arresting, Attila is one of the most versatile vocalists in all of heavy music. Barks, pitch perfect viking vocals, Celtic Frost grunts, screams that last longer than it seemed humanly possible, and what I like to call "squeaking elf"... a low end screech that was part Gollum and part creaking door, were all present and impressive.
In all, Mayhem was pure fun and I already can't wait for Attila's return with sunn 0))) in the fall. More tour dates HERE. More pictures from the show, below...

Mayhem has arrived, both literally and figuratively. After a failed tour attempt in 2007, the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band will concurrently celebrate their 25th anniversary and kick off their first EVER US tour TONIGHT (5/21) at Irving Plaza! Tickets are still available at the door. All dates below...
Joining Attila, Necrobutcher, and Hellhammer (not their real names), are corpsepainted Swedes Marduk, hazy deathgrinders Cephalic Carnage, sickos Lair Of The Minotaur, and blackened doom favorites Withered!
You won't see any pictures on BrooklynVegan by Justina Villanueva for the next month. That's because she is hitting the road with this historic Blackened Fest, documenting her, and Mayhem's, travels along the way. Her first shot comes from a practice session that Mayhem had in the five boroughs... Dig on drummer Hellhammer's kit, and all tour dates, below...

Leftover Crack fan in Texas (more)
Leftover Crack, Star Fucking Hipsters, Trash Talk, and The Casualties are playing Irving Plaza on July 3rd. Assuming Irving Plaza doesn't get shut down (unlikely) (or even if it does), this punk show is sure to be a good time. Tickets are on sale.
Less of a good time will probably be had at the punk show happening at Madison Square Garden on July 27th. Tickets for Green Day's big NYC show are on sale (@ 10am). They are also playing a few shows at much smaller venues, and Saturday Night Live this weekend.
The opposite of a good time will probably be had at the same big venue on October 5th. The Ting Tings are playing MSG with Pink. Tickets are on presale (@ 10am). PASSWORD = LEAPFROG
Probably fun, but still kind of lame? Aerosmith and ZZ Top play MSG on September 14th. Tickets are on AmEx and Internet presale now, and go on general sale Monday, May 18th, at 10am. It's the same day Kings of Leon play Nassau Coliseum.
Back to good times... Ween are playing the Stone Pony's Summerstage in Asbury Park on July 18th. Tickets go on sale Saturday at noon. Gene Ween is playing Brooklyn on May 21st.
Same venue, same summer (move over Blondie, Pat Benatar and The Donnas): The Pretenders, Cat Power and Juliette (and the Licks) Lewis are playing the Stone Pony's Summerstage on August 9th. Tickets are currently on Ticket Rush presale (password = live), and they go on general sale Saturday at noon. The same three ladies (bands) have an August 22nd Colorado show scheduled, so let's home for a full tour with NYC date too.
Peter Frampton plays Stone Pony Summerstage on August 30th. Tickets are currently on Ticket Rush presale (password = live), and go on general sale Saturday at noon.
And don't forget Kylie Minogue tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am.

"Mastodon played the entire Crack the Skye from the beginning to the end, to the utmost satisfaction of those who have been crazy about the album since it came out in March. They were projecting a video collage throughout the whole thing, with clips from old Russian movies, and various outer-space type scenarios. It was pretty cheesy, but it went well with the music. There was something spooky and uncanny about the combination of Mastodon's ridiculously amazing music, and sinister-looking Orthodox priests and iron-clad warriors from the tsarist times.Mastodon, Kylesa, and Intronaut are on tour and stopped at Irving Plaza in NYC last night (5/9). They do it again tonight (5/10, Mother's Day) at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. More pictures, including one of Mastodon's setlist, below...Throughout the Crack the Skye part of the show, Mastodon had a keyboardist with them. He left when they moved on their older selections. They played a bunch from Blood Mountain, and then a few less from Leviathan and Remission."

"at yann tiersen, irving plaza with, probably, every french person in new york city." - Soraya Darabi
"the good news is that we got there early enough to watch the whole thing in the very front! the bad news is : yann + an electric guitar + band - his violin = major midlife crisis. i love this man, but it was awful.I never saw Yann during the good ol' days. In fact, Amelie aside, I never even listened to Yann in the old days or the new days, but I do agree that the show wasn't what I expected, and it wasn't that exciting. You can see in the pic above that Yann was getting his Thurston on. "Awful" is kind of strong, but maybe that's because I like "alt rock", though I think my issue was that it wasn't "alt" enough, which I took more as a sign that I went to the wrong show. I wished I was at the Walkmen or Throbbing Gristle's 1st NYC performance - both shows happened the same night (4/16). Oh yeah, the violen parts were the best.he DID move me to tears when he finally picked the violin up for sur le fil - but 99.9% of the time was alt. rock hell. he even managed to butcher the amelie theme beyond recognition. & there was no piano. or accordion.
why yann, why?! i miss the good ol' days" [photobear]
Asobi Seksu are on tour with Yann, and they sounded great as the opener (their first-ever show at the venue). A few of their songs sounded really great on the sound system - a few were so-so. All in all, I'm glad they were there. More pictures from the show (and yes there were a lot of French people there) below...

DOWNLOAD: Femi Kuti - Eh Oh (MP3)
Femi Kuti, son of legendary Nigerian musician Fela and Afrobeat institution in his own right, is coming to New York this summer. His last set of NYC dates, scheduled for January '09, were canceled, with the rest of his tour, because of illness.
Femi and the Positive Force visit the Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza for two Knitting Factory-presented nights on Wednesday, June 3rd and Thursday, June 4th. Tickets, including two-night passes, are on sale now at LiveNation.com. If you miss them, we suspect Femi might also be back later in the summer.
Other scheduled Femi gigs include Bonnaroo and opening dates for the Dave Matthews Band (an honor shared this spring/summer with The Roots, The Hold Steady, The Avett Brothers and others).
Femi's last record was Day By Day, which came out in November '08 on Downtown Records imprint Mercer Street Records. June 3rd will be his first North American show since its release.
All tour dates and videos of Femi live, and recording and discussing his latest record below...

the Hold Steady @ the Mohawk during SXSW (Angelina M)
I didn't catch the Hold Steady show at Irving Plaza in NYC last night (3/30), but I was at the one pictured above which took place Friday night, March 20th, at the Mohawk in Austin for SXSW. The packed show was in a relatively small venue. And as you can kind of see a piece of in the picture, everyone was having a good time during the energized performance. One review says...
"The Hold Steady: Renowned for its prowess in concert, Craig Finn and company are still touring behind last year's superb Stay Positive. Shortly after midnight, Finn strolled onto the tiny stage at the Mohawk, waved to the fans overhead and those in front, picked up his guitar and let fly. For the next 60 minutes and change, the Hold Steady affirmed its standing as one of America's greatest living rock bands, a no-fuss yet deeply poetic group that simply speaks from the heart." [Star-Telegram]And speaking of small venues, the band, who has already co-headlined the very big Terminal 5 (with a band who has 5 shows coming up at the much, much smaller Mercury Lounge), will return to the medium-sized Bowery Ballroom on June 8th, and then play a 2nd NYC show at the same-sized Music Hall of Williamsburg two days later. Tickets ($20) for both shows will be on Am Ex presale Wednesday at noon, and then regular sale on Friday.
And about last night...
The Hold Steady has become an unstoppable rock machine, with a catalog deep enough for the band to peel off song after powerful song in concert without getting to them all.The band's new live/documentary CD/DVD, A Positive Rage, is out April 7th. All tour dates below...That about sums up the Hold Steady's performance Monday night at the Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza, on the second night of an extensive spring/summer tour. Playing to a packed house, the band drew from all four of its albums, with a particular emphasis on last year's "Stay Positive" and the group's first record, 2004's "Almost Killed Me."
Whatever the song, singer Craig Finn did his moppet dance while he sang, waving his arms around and gesticulating wildly while Tad Kubler cranked out huge, joyous guitar riffs like they were some kind of gritty rock 'n' roll astringent, good for a soul-scouring deep-cleanse.
And they were: the crowd sang along throughout, clapping out a staccato rhythm on some songs and pumping their fists on others, all to Finn's evident delight. [listen, damnit]

"PJ Harvey's previous album with John Parish was 1998's Dance Hall at Louise Point, but the 12-year wait was worth it. Harvey's brutal doctrine - that nothing should sound like anything either of them has done before - has produced a thrilling, boundless work. The songs are riots of changing themes and multiple musical personalities. Black Hearted Love, in which Parish's granite riff fuels one of Harvey's best ever rockers, finds two lovers frolicking in the abyss, while Pointless, Passionless chillingly catalogues a stone-cold relationship. April, with its snail's pace, is plaintive and purifying. Harvey's vocals range from animalistic shrieks to haunted narratives, as she depicts everything from the gleeful humiliation of a cuckold ("lily-livered balls!") to the days that follow a death. It all hangs together brilliantly, suggesting the mutual understanding of two artists at the peak of their powers." [Guardian]PJ Harvey and John Parish have now finished up a short U.S. tour that included a stop at SXSW (pic, setlist), a stop on Leno (Hulu video), a visit to KCRW (video), a show in LA (setlist below), and a show at Irving Plaza in NYC last night (3/26). More pictures from that last one, below...

"Cynic was formed in 1987 by guitarist (and now singer) Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert who met in elementary school. Soon after they recruited bassist Mark Van Erp and singer Jack Kelly. In 1988, the band made their first recording, simply called the '88 Demo. After the demo, Paul Masvidal took over vocal duties, while continuing to play guitar. The band also added a second guitarist, Jason Gobel. Another demo followed in 1989, this one titled Reflections of a Dying World. 1989 also brought the addition of bassist Tony Choy. In 1990, the group went to the studio to record their third demo, plainly titled '90 Demo. In 1991, Cynic signed with Roadrunner Records and recorded their fourth and final demo, known as Demo 1991." [Wiki]The reunited Cynic and promising newcomers The Faceless rounded out a whopper of a triple bill with headliner Meshuggah at Irving Plaza on 2/19. The sold-out show marked the return of the highly influential tech-death Cynic to the NYC stage, part of their first US tour since the early 1990s.
Reports from our camp were mixed... photographer Justina Villanueva raved about all three bands, while contributor Klaus Kinski chimed that "Cynic was the low point of the evening", adding that while Cynic were technically impressive, they lacked stage prescence... a sentiment he did not echo for Meshuggah. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the show (blasphemer!), but that's OK... word is, alot more touring is in Cynic's future.
Meshuggah did not allow photography during their set, but Cynic and The Faceless did. More of them below...

Guillaume Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French musician and composer known internationally for composing the score to the Jean-Pierre Jeunet movie Amélie.His music is recognized by its use of a large variety of instruments in relatively minimalist compositions, often with a touch of either European classical music or French folk music, using primarily the piano, accordion or violin together with instruments like the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, ondes martenot, harpsichord and typewriter. He has been compared to musicians Chopin, Erik Satie, Phillip Glass and Michael Nyman [Wikipedia]Yann Tiersen is going on tour! A tour that includes North America and which includes an April 16th show at Irving Plaza in NYC. Tickets are on sale.
Other cities on the tour include Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, San Francisco, and LA. On May 15th he's playing the Breeders-curated ATP Festival in Minehead. Back in 2003, musicOMH wrote this review of one of Yann's live shows...
He began his set on grand piano - and his piano pieces are rarely other than delightful. What wasn't obvious from listening to his albums was instantly so here - it isn't someone playing melodica or accordion with him as he tinkles the ivories. Oh no. He plays both instruments at the same time.All tour dates below...After each track, rapturous applause greeted him as he shifted between piano, melodica, accordion, violin, viola, bass, guitar and even vocals. A rare chance was afforded to the audience to hear a solo viola piece, Qu'En Reste-t-il? from L'Absente, in which at any moment sparks could have flown from the instrument as Yann fiddled for all he was worth. Here was a man making electricity spark from an acoustic instrument before our very eyes. His playing was enough to make members of his audience weep at its beauty.

On a bucolic, tree-lined street in the West Village is where you will find the antithesis of New York's high-gloss mega salons. Opened in 2009 by celebrated onetime Bumble and bumble creative directors Victoria Hunter and Larry Raspanti, Whittemore House Salon has become the destination for those in search of visionary cuts and color in a decidedly unpretentious setting. Occupying the ground floor of one of the city's oldest and most storied buildings—built in the 1800s by affluent manufacturer Samuel Whittemore, the former boarding house had infamous tenants like Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, and was a stop on the Underground Railroad—the salon embraces the past while looking towards the future.
A combination of old mansion decay and modern elements, the design imparts a homey, lived-in feel to the space, keeping with Hunter and Raspanti's goal of building something small and personal at a time when everyone else seems to be going big and corporate. The staff is a well-edited group of respected beauty world heavyweights, selected for their strong editorial and education backgrounds, as well as their commitment to progressive techniques, creativity, and building lasting client relationships. Whittemore House Salon offers elevated craft in a laid-back environment.

TAKE MEASURE {RE-POST}! 31 Mar 2014
Confused about taking your measurements? Follow the image here, and have a friend measure you so that you achieve the most accurate results. This is exactly how we measure people at Lithe.
To Do: Measure the fullest part of the bust, your natural waist (not where you wear you jeans), the high hip (where you wear your jeans; just palpate the hip bone/iliac crest to find the correct spot), low hip/butt (the widest part of the booty), your dominant thigh (approximately halfway between the knee and the hip) and your most dominant arm (approx halfway between the shoulder and the elbow).
Tips: Commit to wearing the same outfit whenever you measure, stand posture perfect and relax the extremities.

The Origins of Shi'ism between Politics, Creed and Fanaticism
30 Oct 2013 09:46 GMT
In this study, the origins of Shi'ism from the perspectives of politics, creed and extremism will be discussed. The study shows that Shi'ism originated as a sheer political faction which however almost immediately started to assume an ideological complexion as well, meant for its philosophical and actual buttressing and thus survival. In the process, unavoidably, as different schemes and ideas and their numerous protagonists came to the fore and departed, Shi'ism oscillated, often dramatically and radically, between legitimacy, moderation and outright deviation and extremism. The study is divided into the following sections: Shi'ism in the eyes of Shi'is; Shi'ism in the eyes of Sunnis; and the evolution of Shi'ism from political activism to a complex ideology.

AOL Offers Additional Security
by Keith R. Wheeler
You may remember an article back on July 27th titled "End of Passwords?" in which passwords are supplemented by a code delivered to the user via a pager-like device. The code sent to the device changes every 60 seconds in order to provide the extra security. Even if a hacker or spyware installed a keystroke recorder on a computer, the ever-changing code makes it impossible for the bad guys to access your account. America Online, along with RSA Security, Inc., is offering just such a service as an option. For just $1.95/month after paying a one-time 9.95 fee, AOL users would receive a special PIN code after entering their normal password. AOL explains that the target audience for this service includes small businesses and victims of identity theft. In addition, the security option will also prevent phishers (last week's article) from acquiring all of the information needed to log in. In all likelihood, other service providers and financial institutions will begin to offer similar services.

we had the sellers of our house put in bug screens in the windows that were missing them before we closed on the house. the problem is that the bug screens aren't bug proof that were installed. there is some space around the screens, and i think the ones we have were made for people who don't open their windows.
my wife and i would like some option that allows us to remove the screen and clean the dirt or someway of cleaning dirt around the edge of the windows on the inside panel from time to time. so, we were thinking putting caulking around the bug screens is not good idea. anyone have an idea for us? thanks so much, |

anyone have any suggestions? :( |
there is some space around the screens, It sounds as if they were not made to fit the windows properly. Is it too late to have the sellers check into the screens being properly made to fit the windows properly? Possibly rope caulk would work if the space is not too wide. The link below shows a good pic of it. It is flexible, and removable, and available at about any hardware store. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pic of rope caulk

January 30, 2013: Yesterday, California's lawmakers began discussion over gun control in light of the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting and the bills proposed in the shootings aftermath.
According to Kim Minugh reporting for The Oakland Tribune, two former state senators who had supported gun legislation warned legislators of the death threats that may now be aimed at them while they discuss gun control. Regardless of the threats, past Senators David Roberti and Don Perata urged the Legislature to toughen the state's pre-existing gun control policies. Perata emphasised to the super-majority Democrats in both houses that they should take advantage of their power on this issue.
Perata, described gun violence as a "pandemic" that has spread far beyond the violent crack cocaine drug wars that plagued part of his constituency when he was in office.
Although there wasn't a vote or specific policies discussed, the members ensured there will be thorough discourse and respect for opposing opinions. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said, "This will serve as a launching point... for what I believe will be a very active session around gun violence."
Executive director of Gun Owners of California, Sam Paredes suggested that instead of adding more gun control policies it would be beneficial to focus on existing measures. He added that more measures will infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens to own guns "you will continue to have these atrocities we have seen because none of these laws will impact these people who one day are normal and the next day are ... evil."

Several news stories have us thinking about the future of online education and how consumers may be impacted.
First, there are the ongoing developments in a Spokane-based diploma/degree mill scam that led to a federal indictment of eight Eastern Washington residents. The Washington Attorney General's Office opened that investigation and went on to take a leading role in the federal task force that completed the case.
Second, recent reports say more college students are opting to take courses online to cut the days they have to commute to class. High gas prices are to blame.
For aspiring students, there are obviously many options to pursue a degree from the comfort of your living room or local hotspot-equipped cafe. But with both legitimate colleges and diploma mills advertising heavily online, how is the average Joe or Jill to know which courses are worthwhile?
Opt for the fake degree and the consequences can be serious. In Washington, it's illegal to knowingly grant a fake degree or diploma or use one to seek a job or promotion. No doubt some folks who buy their credentials from diploma mills know the degrees are a sham. Others may just be naïve.
A good first step is to check if a school is accredited by a legitimate organization by searching the U.S. Department of Education's Web site. (There are a few legitimate institutions that have not pursued accreditation.)
The Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board maintains a list of colleges and universities that operate legally in our state. The college may be a diploma mill if the name doesn't show up.
The board also provides a list of 10 warning signs to help you recognize a diploma mill. A few red flags:
Employers, too, need to take the time to verify whether applicant credentials are real. The FTC offers these tips, which include taking time to call the school's registrar. If you aren't familiar with a school, you need to dig further since some diploma mills offer a "verification service" that will send a phony transcript to a prospective boss.
Will the negative aura surrounding diploma mills cast a shadow on all distance-learning programs? Probably not, says an instructor for the University of Phoenix, in this interview.
But even if you know a school is legit, it can be tough to assess the value of one degree program over another. A Google search of "online vs traditional degrees" produced nearly 13 million hits and a plethora of opinions.
Vault, a publisher of career information, recently surveyed 172 employers about their likelihood of hiring a candidate with an online degree. "While 83 percent of employers and hiring managers say that online degrees are more acceptable than they were five years ago, it seems there is still a ways to go before employers fully embrace them," the company said.
From a consumer protection perspective, the issue of whether to obtain a degree online is much like any other: It's a "buyer beware" market and, just like school, you need to do your homework.
