Here are some more theme songs that you all will probably guess in short order. I'll bet you'll be humming at least one of them all day today.
1. Boy the way Glen Miller played
2. Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
3. Just two good ol' boys,
4. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Oh, you are being so easy on us this weekend, TM-either that or we are all just tv junkies. Know these also. #3 was a favorite of my son when he was little. He and his best friend pretended they were those two as they zoomed around on their big wheel bikes. Very cute-problem was DS sort of drove that way when he got his license-oh well. Never had an accident as a result. Speeding tickets? That's another story. I watched #1 and #2 regularly, but # 4 not so much-did watch the show it was spun off from though. Have a marvelous Sunday, all. I'll be checking back later. Cynthia |

Now Cynthia! :) I can normally only get the easy ones so I have been happy this weekend. LOL! I used to watch way more TV than now, so these have been fairly easy. The third one popped into my head right away but I started second guessing myself and finally decided to ask DH just to confim before I posted. Now I have only a few programs that I watch so if questions ever come for recent shows then I will be stuck unless they are from my very short list. :) definitely in the right order Annette |
I am including myself, gg! Grew up along with tv-watched all those cowboy shows with my dad and my husband and cousin can sing everyone of those theme songs. Too funny. I remember watching the test pattern waiting for Mighty Mouse to come on-my father made me go back to bed-seems it was still the wee hours of the morning. :) Nowadays, we also only watch a few. I was sorry they cancelled "Law and Order"-that was one I did like! Completely forgot about the Mr. Magoo connection until you mentioned it, Nancy and Annette. Loved that, too. So silly. |

We all seem to have guessed these ones sooooo.... Let's come up with a few more... TM can come out and play too. Harlem Nocturne was the theme song for what TV show? |
ooh, good one Annette. Not sure. a dectective show would fit the music, though. |

Oh, I know that one Annette. I am not sure I've seen the show, but I really love the song (and I do have some paperback books related to the show). I named Boo Boo Kitty after Thinman's #4.... |
I'm happy to be back in northern Michigan this morning, where the temps are nice and cool and I can get some much-needed outdoor chores done. It looks like most of you used to watch the same shows I did. Of course, it's not like we had a lot of different choices back then. Four channels was it for me on the best days. No one has specifically listed the shows yet so here they are, just in case there is any doubt in anyone's mind. 1. All In The Family for Cynthia, Annette, Nancy, Greylady, and GGG. 'Fraid I'm clueless about Harlem Nocturne, Annette. Thanks for adding to the fun though. Thanks all, for playing trivia. TM |
Wait a minute! Was it The Thin Man? TM |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Mon, Jun 14, 10 at 11:04
Morning all, thanks for the stars TM. No it wasn't the Thin Man it was Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. The show only ran for a short time. Harlem Nocturne is favorite of mine especially when featuring a sexy sax. I'm pretty sure GGG and Cyn guessed it, good going gals. Annette |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Mon, Jun 14, 10 at 14:36
Oooh, Annette - I love that song too. I was thinking further back....It was in B&W, I think. If we can think of the name of it - LOL - who played the secretary?? You only ever saw her 'gams' and heard her sexy voice!! There you go - Monday Trivia!! Nancy - who only know half of the answer!! |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Mon, Jun 14, 10 at 16:44
Nancy, you were probably thinking of the earlier Mike Hammer series starring Darren McGavin in B&W. In the later Mike Hammer Tanya Roberts played the part of Velda at first but was replaced by Lindsay Bloom. I don't know who played Velda in the earlier one. |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Fri, Jun 18, 10 at 15:36
I know!! It was Mary Tyler Moore. You never saw her, only her legs, and heard her voice. Nancy. |

After a court hearing Wednesday morning, a District Court judge said he hopes to decide within a week whether the city should be ordered to release information on disciplined employees to The Billings Gazette.
Judge Russell Fagg listened to arguments from attorneys for the city and for The Gazette for about a hour Wednesday. He has also been reviewing hundreds of pages of partially blacked-out documents the city provided to the newspaper in response to a public-information request.
The main point at issue is whether the city should have to disclose the identities of five employees who were suspended without pay for five days last spring for viewing inappropriate websites at work, on city-owned computers.
Martha Sheehy, representing The Gazette, said the city policy violated by the workers explicitly warned them that their Internet use might be monitored and that people using city-owned Internet accounts "should not assume they are provided any degree of anonymity."
The policy itself waives the right to privacy for the employees, Sheehy said, so if the court determines the workers were entitled to privacy in this case, the city might be opening itself to lawsuit by itself violating that privacy.
Fagg acknowledged the special nature of computer use by public employees — "I warn my friends, anything you send me could end up on the front page of The Gazette" — but he also had sharp questions for Sheehy.
He said there would seem to be a big difference between the city's monitoring the use of its own property and providing sensitive information to the whole city by disclosing it to The Gazette.
"What does the right of privacy protect?" he asked. "Does it protect anything?"
Emily Jones, of the Moulton Bellingham law firm, representing the city, said the city's electronic communications policy is strictly for internal personnel use.
"It does not waive the employee's right to privacy, and it certainly doesn't say anything about the city releasing that person's name to the newspaper," she said.
Sheehy told the judge that the city refused to say what positions the employees held or what departments they worked in, so she had no way of knowing whether any of them held positions of special public trust.
But some of them apparently had managerial duties, she said, and all of them committed "pretty substantial" violations. She said the workers made "repeated attempts to thwart" the city's security system in attempting to access pornographic sites and other blocked sites, putting the city's computer system at risk.
Jones countered that there was no evidence that anyone tampered with or tried to thwart the city's security system. She said the state security system used by the city was down for several weeks, including the week during which the employees' Internet use was monitored.
She said no one was disciplined for security breaches or illegal activities, only for violating the city's policy.
Jones also argued that "the right of privacy is paramount," and in this case "public humiliation" outweighs the public's right to know which employees were disciplined.
Fagg appeared to agree with that statement, saying that "by giving the names, we're basically involved in gossip, and that bothers me."
"The embarrassment is unfortunate, but it's not a defense," Sheehy responded.
"We have to remember, it's the people who put themselves in these high-risk situations who are to blame, not The Gazette and not the city," she said.
Fagg will be ruling on three issues raised by The Gazette — whether the employees' names should be released; whether the city has any standing to assert the privacy rights of the unnamed individuals; and whether the city's redaction of released documents was so extensive that it violated the public's right to know.

Created in 1964, the African Development Bank's (AfDB) mission is to help reduce poverty, improve living conditions for Africans and mobilize resources for Africa's economic and social development.
The AfDB has 77 country members, with Canada becoming a member in 1982 in order to support the poorest region of the world. Canada holds a permanent seat on both the 20-member AfDB Board of Directors and the 14-member Board of Directors of the AfDB's African Development Fund (ADF). Canada, the fourth largest non-African shareholder, is contributing $325.6 million to the ADF between 2011-2013. The ADF provides low interest loans and grants to support the poorest and most vulnerable African countries.
DFATD leads Canada's day-to-day relations with the AfDB in close consultation with Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada and Finance Canada. Canada considers the AfDB an important regional institution and a valued partner in Africa.
In October 2009, Canada increased its callable capital at the Bank by $2.8 billion to support lending for economic, social and institutional development in Africa during the global financial crisis.
Canada, in April 2013, committed $15 million over four years in support of the New Partnership for Africa's Development Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility, hosted by the African Development Bank. This project, funded by Canada's Pan-Africa Regional Program, represents a second phase of Canadian support to the facility. Through the project, African countries, regional economic communities, and specialized regional institutions will receive technical and financial assistance to help leverage public and private sector financing for infrastructure projects, targeting potential projects in the energy, transportation, information and telecommunications sectors.
Through DFATD, Canada contributes to several multilateral funds in the education, water and infrastructure sections. We are a strong supporter of the AfDB's programs to increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation services for the poor. This includes support to the African Water Facility.
The AfDB's mandate aligns closely with Canada's international development priority themes of stimulating sustainable economic growth, securing the future of children and youth, and increasing food security.
The AfDB's focus on supporting economic growth in Africa, particularly in the private sector and the infrastructure sector, makes it one of our key partners in this area.
The AfDB's investments in health and education contribute to international and Canadian efforts to provide quality primary education to all children. This includes supporting its regional member countries in building schools, training teachers, and providing learning materials and equipment.
Together with the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the AfDB accounts for more than half of all donor interventions in African agriculture, making it an important partner for Canada in increasing food security.
Canada's work with the AfDB focuses on three strategic objectives:
Between 2009 and 2011, with the support of Canada and other donors, the AfDB has helped:

Pilgrims to be Debated In Parliament Tomorrow
Straight after the 7pm vote in the House tomorrow, surviving Tory PPS Aidan Burley will redeem himself for his voting behaviour yesterday. He has tabled an Adjournment Debate on a favourite subject: "Funding from the public purse of trade union officials".
Burley will get around fifteen minutes to speak and is guaranteed a Ministerial reply. Though the promise to end the practice of tax-payer funded officials was made at Tory conference, it's not as if the government have had a good week for doing what they once said they would.
Good to see that the pressure is being kept on…

Thought I'd squeeze in a little review for the color 38 - Dîner à Paris. It's a cool dark brown color with plummy undertones and a mauvy/taupy satin sheen to it. The color is very similar to Sketch eyeshadow from Mac. I'd say it's more of a "grown-up" color, mainly due to its texture rather than the hue itself. It's got no shine, but rather a slight shimmer running through it, which makes for a more mature, sophisticated look - at least in my opinion. You get a minuscule amount of product, but for the price I can't really complain. Plus it stays intact for about 4 days before it starts chipping slightly, so that's not too bad either. It's good fun overall, I might even consider repurchasing, although it wouldn't be a top priority.
Cap Vert (37) is a shimmery deep colour towards the blue side of green. Lasts quite well and doesn't require multiple coats.
More reviews by sarahlittlecutie
This is the exact colour of urban decay shattered eyeshadow in a nailpolish, it is the most gorgeous colour. Bourjois polishes are very good and last about 5 days without chipping but i do a lot of typing and have very long nails so they would probably last longer on most other people.

Having a healthy baby means making sure you're healthy, too. One of the most important things you can do to help prevent serious birth defects in your baby is to get enough folic acid every day — especially before conception and during early pregnancy.
Folic acid, sometimes called folate, is a B vitamin (B9) found mostly in leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach, orange juice, and enriched grains.
Many studies have shown that women who get 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) daily prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduce the risk that their baby will be born with a serious neural tube defect (a birth defect involving incomplete development of the brain and spinal cord) by up to 70%.
The most common neural tube defects are:
All of these defects occur during the first 28 days of pregnancy — usually before a woman even knows she's pregnant.
That's why it's so important for all women of childbearing age to get enough folic acid — not just those who are planning to become pregnant. Only 50% of pregnancies are planned, so any woman who could become pregnant should make sure she's getting enough folic acid.
Doctors and scientists still aren't completely sure why folic acid has such a profound effect on the prevention of neural tube defects, but they do know that this vitamin is crucial in the development of DNA. As a result, folic acid plays a large role in cell growth and development, as well as tissue formation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all women of childbearing age — and especially those who are planning a pregnancy — consume about 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) of folic acid every day. Adequate folic acid intake is very important before conception and at least 3 months afterward to potentially reduce the risk of having a fetus with a neural tube defect.
So, how can you make sure you're getting enough folic acid? In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandated that folic acid be added to enriched grain products — so you can boost your intake by looking for breakfast cereals, breads, pastas, and rice containing 100% of the recommended daily folic acid allowance.
But for most women, eating fortified foods isn't enough. To reach the recommended daily level, you'll probably need a vitamin supplement. During pregnancy, you require more of all of the essential nutrients than you did before you became pregnant.
Although prenatal vitamins shouldn't replace a well-balanced diet, taking them can give your body — and, therefore, your baby — an added boost of vitamins and minerals. Some health care providers even recommend taking a folic acid supplement in addition to your regular prenatal vitamin. Talk to your doctor about your daily folic acid intake and ask whether he or she recommends a prescription supplement, an over-the-counter brand, or both.
Also talk to your doctor if you've already had a pregnancy that was affected by a neural tube defect. He or she may recommend that you increase your daily intake of folic acid (even before getting pregnant) to lower your risk of having another occurrence.

Dylan's Don't Look Back Comes With Extras
The classic D.A. Pennebaker film of Bob Dylan's "Don't Look Back" tour of '65 is being reissued in a deluxe package on April 30.
The reissue includes an entire disc of unseen footage as well as the original full length film.
The discs are also accompanied by the original 168-page film book and flipbook.
Regarded as a template for all future rock documentaries, "Don't Look Back" portrays more than just a concert on film; it captures a bit of the spirit of the 60s and one of the poet-musicians whose words and songs defined it.
This digitally re-mastered film follows Dylan on his extraordinary 1965 concert tour of England – his last as an acoustic performer.
The disc's extras include five additional uncut audio tracks, a commentary by D.A. Pennebaker and tour manager Bob Neuwirth and an alternate version of the famed 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' cue card sequence.
The second disc is "Bob Dylan : '65 Revisited", Pennebaker's own look back over his previously unused behind-the-scenes film footage.
"'65 Revisited" brings a fresh perspective of the young Dylan on the road.
Dylan is about to embark on the UK leg of his 'Never Ending tour', playing the following venues:
Glasgow, SECC (April 11)
Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (12)
Sheffield, Hallam FM Arena (14)
London, Wembley Arena (15/16)
Birmingham, NIA (17)

Postyourbook.com Corp. is a new social website that is becoming the next big thing for college students. This social networking site allows users/students to buy and sell text books to other students on campus. Students use the site to find people selling text books they need. Postyourbook.com eliminates the university bookstore and large online textbook retailers from ripping college students off.
Postyourbook.com is free! And the best part is that the user gets to set the sell price of the book. Here's how it works:
You simply select a school, register via email or through Facebook, enter the textbook ISBN number and done. To buy, search for a textbook and choose from an array of prices. A phone call or email will setup a meeting to exchange a book. Buying and selling text books has never been easier!
Postyourbook.com was created by Josh Hiekali and Phillip Kravtsov, who were both college students frustrated that they had to pay so much for textbooks. Today, their website is open to over 150 schools and there are over 150,000 registered members with approximately 500,000 books listed. By this coming fall, the site will be open for 250 schools nationwide.

The ugly side of hockey has reared its head in recent years with sexual abuse issues being raised by some prominent figures in the game. Theo Fleury has obviously been at the forefront of bringing these issues to light given his stature in the game he earned during his career.
Fleury made waves earlier this week with his victim impact statement in Winnipeg at the Graham James sentencing hearing. The impact to which these events have clearly affected Fleury become pretty clear in his testimony and underscore the dire need to prevent any and all types of abuse from happening in hockey.
Here is an excerpt from Fleury's testimony.
I was just a kid. A child. I was completely under Graham James's control. And I was scared. I did not have the emotional skills, the knowledge, or the ability to stop the rapes or change my circumstances. I felt lost, alone, and helpless. And those feelings did not stop after I was able to get away from Mr. James; I continued to feel that way for 20+ years afterwards. I descended into years of drug addiction, alcoholism, and addictions to sex, gambling, rage. My loved ones, including my beloved children, spiralled down with me. The pain was all-encompassing. And no matter how many NHL games I won, or money I made, or fame I gained could dull the pain of having been sexually abused by Graham James. His sickness changed my life, changed the lives of everyone who was close to me, and caused more pain than can be measured.
Finally, after a night in the New Mexico desert with a gun in my mouth and finger on the trigger, I found the courage to get help and start a long process of healing. I am now reconciled with my children and family. I have been sober for 6 years and I have put the course of my professional life on an amazing path. I am fortunate to speak to victims, survivors, victors and advocates all over North America. From little boys to men as old as 82 tell me they too have been victimized. I am honoured each and every time they share with me. They shed tears, they tell me secrets they have never dared to tell anyone else, and they look for some sort of peace in the midst of their hell.
Dryden, a hall of fame goaltender, former NHL executive and recent member of Canadian parliament chose to address the issue of abuse in hockey in a very honest and up front personal essay which was published in Saturday's Globe and Mail.
Dryden addresses his own encounters with abuse in the game and likens the issue at-large to, among other things, the September 11 attacks on the United States. Dryden's thesis is essentially that it may seem impossible for these horrendous acts to occur, but decisive steps must be taken given that these acts can only happen while that sense of impossibility exists.
My introduction to child abuse and hockey came almost 15 years ago when I became president of the Toronto Maple Leafs in June, 1997. Four months earlier, Martin Kruze had announced publicly that, as a child, he had been sexually abused by employees of Maple Leaf Gardens. Other victims came forward to tell similar life-shattering stories.
The matter quickly went into the hands of lawyers on both sides, but it also just hung in the air. There was more to say and do, I knew – but what?
In August, I got a letter from Mr. Kruze. He said he wanted to do something for child-abuse survivors, and not just for those from the Gardens, and was asking for our help. I put the letter into a small "get to" pile on my desk. Then the Leafs' training camp opened, then the season began – and then I got a call.
It was from a policeman. Martin Kruze had jumped off a bridge and died.
Why do we get it so wrong?
When I heard what had happened, I had no idea what to say or do.
I knew only that I needed to go to the funeral and called the family to ask permission. I walked the few blocks from Maple Leaf Gardens to the church. The Kruzes and their friends had to hate the Leafs, and hate me. But in every word spoken at that service and on every face was a deeper message: Please God, the Leafs, somebody – help make something at least a little bit good out of something so bad. Martin lived for a reason.
It is what any family would feel. But it was only after the funeral that we began to do things we should have done earlier.
Dryden also recalls a personal encounter with a victim of abuse in his essay.
A final story. We had met before. Then, some weeks later, we saw each other again at a Leafs press conference, nodded and smiled. This was a year or two after Martin Kruze's death.
When the event ended, he came over. "I used to love you," he said. "Then I hated you."
He was about 40, tall, with thinning hair and a mustache.
"I dreamed I was you," he told me. "I loved hockey. I was tall. I was a goalie in every game I played. My parents bought me some brand-new equipment. I was you," he repeated. His 10-year-old self came back in his voice and eyes.
"I used to hang around outside the Gardens. I just wanted to see the players, any of them, live. An older guy who worked there somehow knew I really liked you – maybe I told him. He said he knew you. He said he could introduce me – when you were in town."
His voice and eyes began to change. "That's how it began. Then I hated you," he said, his hatred worn by time now gone from his voice.
"One morning, I went downstairs, picked up that new equipment and threw it into a garbage pail. I told my parents it'd been stolen. I never played again."
I was the bait.
Dryden's essay perfectly conveys how necessary it is for the hockey world to come together against this abuse which is being enabled by the game, and the more hockey figures come out to rebut these acts, the closer to a solution we'll get. I highly recommend that you all give the full piece a read at the above link.
We've all seen the Jerry Sandusky scandal wreak havoc at Penn State, and the burden is now on the entire hockey community to ensure that things are put to an end. There are too many lives at stake for there to be any reluctance in approaching this issue seriously.

NEW BATAAN, Philippines — Surrounded by steep mountains, far-flung New Bataan town has long been a tragedy waiting to happen in a valley of disasters. A government-issued geological hazard map identifies the extremely precarious location of the farming community in the southern Philippines as "highly susceptible to flooding and landslides."
Yet, like in many other places on resource-rich Mindanao Island and elsewhere in this disaster-prone Southeast Asian nation, such warnings went unheeded — until a powerful typhoon struck this week, washing away emergency shelters, a military camp and entire families. The storm killed more than 350 people, with nearly 400 missing.
Survivors of Typhoon Bopha like Joseph Requinto, a farmer, counted their blessings. After a night of pounding rain, floodwaters started rising around 4 a.m. Tuesday, trapping Requinto, his wife and two young children in their house near a creek.
"After that I saw some people being swept away. We were able to save ourselves by climbing up (the hill)," he told The Associated Press. "Some of my relatives died and their bodies were recovered near the village. We were on higher ground. ... The water was as high as a coconut tree. All the bamboo trees, even the big ones, were all mowed down."
He said he carried his two children and sought shelter behind boulders that shielded them from coconut trees rolling down the hill. "We were 70 plus in all," he said.
It was a repeat of a tragedy last December, when 1,200 people died on the opposite end of Mindanao as a powerful storm overflowed rivers. Then and now, raging flash floods, logs and large rocks carried people away to their deaths. In an impoverished nation where the jobless risk life and limb to feed their families, there is little the government can do once such danger zones spring up.
"It's not only an environmental issue, it's also a poverty issue," said Environment Secretary Ramon Paje. "The people would say we are better off here, at least we have food to eat or money to buy food, even if it is risky. But somehow we would like to protect their lives and if possible give them other sources of livelihood so that we can take them out of these permanent danger zones."
At least 200 of the victims of Typhoon Bopha died in Compostela Valley alone, including 78 villagers and soldiers who perished in a flash flood that swamped two emergency shelters and a military camp in the village of Andap in the Compostela Valley municipality of New Bataan. The town, crisscrossed by rivers, was founded in 1968 by banana, coconut, cocoa and mango farmers who cut down trees to make room for land on hillsides.
"There is the Mayo River there, it's a natural channel way of the water from the upstream," said Leo Jasareno, director of the Bureau of Mines and Geosciences. "The water has no other path but Andap village."
He said that even before the typhoon, his regional bureau in Mindanao served local authorities an "official notice informing them that it is a flood-prone area and it must be evacuated."
In fact, Jasareno said, about 80 percent of the Compostela Valley is a danger zone due to a combination of factors, including the mountains and rivers, as well as logging that has stripped hills of trees that minimize landslides and absorb rainwater. Logging has been banned since last year's fatal flooding but continues illegally.
Compostela Valley Gov. Arturo Uy, whose province is a rich source of timber and gold dug by small-scale miners, rejected criticism by scientists and government officials in the capital, Manila, that these towns should relocate.

* Justin Bieber feuding with The Black Keys
* the Justin Bieber vs Black Keys feud continues: Beliebers attack Patrick Carney on Twitter
Yes, I'm laughing as I type this, but this is real, and too funny not to post...
As you may have heard, the Black Keys won like four Grammys the other night and Justin Bieber wasn't even nominated. After the ceremony, a TMZ reporter annoyingly cornered Black Key Patrick Carney and asked him questions about Justin Bieber of all topics. Put on the spot, Patrick didn't do the best job of answering the questions, and kind of dissed the Biebs, and in kind of a hypocritical way, even if he didn't mean it to come out that way... as you can hear and see below..

Frank Ocean, Miguel, Bjork, Mumford, Black Keys, Jack White & more win & perform at Grammys (videos)
Frank Ocean performing at 2013 Grammys
The 2013 Grammys went down last night (2/10), and here's a quick recap of some of the winners and videos of performances.
The big ones: Gotye took home Record of the Year for "Somebody That I Used To Know" (beating The Black Keys, Kelly Clarkson, fun., Frank Ocean, and Taylor Swift), Mumford & Sons won Album of the Year (beating The Black Keys, fun., Frank Ocean, and Jack White), and fun. took Song of the Year and Best New Artist (totally robbing Miguel's "Adorn" and "Call Me Maybe," and Frank Ocean (!), respectively). Other wins included Skrillex for Best Dance Recording (sorry Al Walser), The Black Keys for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album, Gotye for Best Alternative Music Album (beating Fiona Apple, Bjork, M83, and Tom Waits), Usher's "Climax" for Best R&B Performance, Beyonce's "Love On Top" for Best Traditional R&B Performance, Miguel's "Adorn" for Best R&B Song, Frank Ocean for Best Urban Contemporary Album, Robert Glasper Experiment for Best R&B Album, Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Niggas In Paris" for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song and their song, "No Church In The Wild" (feat.

There were many other categories too and you can check out the full list of winners HERE.
And of course, during the Awards Ceremony a number of artists gave performances, which you can watch videos of below. You can see Miguel and Wiz Khalifa doing "Adorn," Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z doing "Suit and Tie" and then JT doing "Pusher Love Girl," The Black Keys, Dr. John, and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band doing "Lonely Boy," Jack White doing "Freedom At 21" with his all-guy band (he also played "Love Interruption" with his all-girl band but no video of that at the moment), Frank Ocean doing "Forrest Gump" with a thematically appropriate visual backdrop, a big tribute to Levon Helm with Elton John, Mavis Staples, members of Mumford and Sons, Alabama Shakes, and others, and finally, LL Cool J, Chuck D, Z-Trip, Tom Morello, and Travis Barker doing "Whaddup" with a small piece of Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Til Brooklyn."
When the Grammys were announced last night it occured to me to point out that many big EDM names got nominations, but not to question who the heck the 5th nominee in this category was:
Best Dance RecordingEnds up I wasn't the only one who hadn't heard of him, and luckily for our entertainment, some people took the time to figure out exactly who he is. Let's start with Al's own bio:
Levels - Avicii
Let's Go - Calvin Harris Featuring Ne-yo
Bangarang - Skrillex Featuring Sirah
Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia Featuring John Martin
I Can't Live Without You - Al Walser
Al Walser is an alround international entertainment mogul , CEO of US Record Label Cut The Bull entertainment and owner of publishing house " Amiville "Those credentials are apparently why Al is a Grammy voter, but that's only the beginning of the story. Gawker writes:
Until up until this morning, very few people had ever heard the name Al Walser, at least before SPIN's Philip Sherburne hunted for some answers...Weisman goes on to theorize that Al got the nomination because the other academy voters, who don't actually listen to any of the nominees, recognized his name from being "friends" with him....So, obviously, you can see why all of a sudden people are dumbfounded as to why the dance music version of Rebecca Black got nominated for anything besides "Worst ever contestant on 'America's Got Talent'". What's still unclear is how exactly this happened, though artist manager and blogger Daniel Weisman has a compelling hypothesis.
The Grammys have their own social networking site called Grammy365, because what would the world be without another useless way to connect to random people. Grammy365 is open to members of the Recording Academy -- according to Weisman, there is about 13,000 total members, though roughly 10,000 are allowed to vote on the Grammys. Walser is a member of the Academy, and he's also unsurprisingly a good, or at least a relentless, networker. Weisman took screenshots of Walser's Grammy365 page, which shows 104 pages of "contacts," a number that comes out to over 4,000 contacts (or friends) in total.
Al Walser is likely not going to win a Grammy, but he has officially landed the title of "Best MEME of 12/6/2012" and will probably shake things up behind the scenes of the Grammy Awards (who I imagine are pretty embarrassed right now). Al will probably also sell more books:
No, seriously, Al wrote a book about how to make it big in the music industry. At least nobody can accuse him of false advertising in that situation.
Listen to an amazing interview with Al, taped today, at CBC. And watch the even more amazing video for the song nominated, below...
The Grammy Nominations were just announced. At this point it should be no surprise that this year's list contains names like Jack White, The Black Keys, Gotye, Adele, Foster the People, Florence and the Machine, M.I.A. (she got nominated for a video), and "fun" alongside all the major pop stars. And I guess Bjork is a given in the "Alternative Music Album" category any time she comes out with an album (this is like her 12th or 13th nomination).
Mumford and Sons are naturally on there along with fellow rising pop folk band The Lumineers. Indie Grammy pioneers Arcade Fire also snuck in there again for "Best Song Written For Visual Media."
EDM is huger than ever so of course hot EDM artists like Skrillex, Deadmau5, Diplo, AVICII, Swedish House Mafia, and Steve Aoki are well represented. UPDATE: As is AL WALSER.
Classics and current stadium artists that were busy in 2012 all got their nods too: Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Kanye West, etc. (though Bieber and Nicki Minaj got snubbed).
Most funny is probably the metal category which is as out of touch as ever with Anthrax competing against Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Marilyn Manson (what year is it again?).
Personally, real opinions of the Grammys overall, I'm excited to see Frank Ocean SIX TIMES, Miguel FIVE TIMES, Alabama Shakes THREE TIMES, and I'm glad they didn't forget about Fiona Apple who is up for "Best Alternative Music Album" against Bjork, Gotye (one of three nominations), M83, and Tom Waits (who has won in the past).
The Grammys air February 10, 2013 on CBS. Check out the full list of nominations, which also includes Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Hugh Masekela, Tenacious D, Jim Gaffigan, Jimmy Fallon, and Tegan and Sara, HERE.

Beach Boys @ The Grammys
Though the Bonnaroo lineup won't be announced until later today (via Spotify), Knoxville.com has supposedly leaked some of it via a photo gallery which includes Beach Boys, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Phish, Foster the People, Alice Cooper, Ludacris, Black Star, Skrillex, Punch Brothers, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Flogging Molly, Feist and Aziz Ansari. We can't know for sure if this is all correct, but I did hear that the Beach Boys were playing, and many of those bands have been rumored for a while, and the Beach Boys have promised more dates, so... well, we'll see soon! UPDATE: Yep, they are!
If it is all true, I really hope that this time Foster the People stay off the Beach Boys' stage unlike at the Grammys, as you can watch below...

Now a three-time Grammy winner, Levon Helm, former drummer of the Band, took the award for best Americana album last night, with his record Ramble at the Ryman.
Unfortunately, Helm was unable to attend the awards show due to an undisclosed "medical procedure" which also forced the postponement of his February 10th show at the Wellmont Theater in NJ. He's also sitting out of the next Midnight Ramble. His site reads: "Levon will be undergoing a medical procedure that will necessitate his absence from the February 25th Ramble. We wish him the best and we know he will have a speedy recovery. We'll continue with the normal Ramble schedule with special guests joining the band." We also wish him the best and a speedy recovery!" The last Ramble happened on 2/4 (they've been on a break since).
Things are looking good though because tickets are already on sale for a makeup NJ show taking place April 6 at The Wellmont Theatre. All tickets purchased for the canceled performance will also be honored at the show in April. Levon's next scheduled show is March 2nd in MA. All dates are listed below.
Opening for Helm at Wellmont, is Deer Tick, who will also be headlining their own NJ show at The Stone Pony on April 20 (tickets).
All Levon Helm, and all Deer Tick tour dates are listed below.
Willie Nelson @ ACL Live in 2011 (more by Tim Griffin)
Willie Nelson has a number of dates scheduled for the next few months including two in the NYC area happening on May 16 and 17 at Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ. Both shows are billed as "Willie Nelson & Family", and as you can see from one of his recent Austin shows, they truly will be family affairs. Tickets ($95.00, $75.00 & $45.00) go on sale Friday (2/17) at noon with a presale starting Wednesday (2/14) at noon. All dates are listed below.
In related news, if you were watching the Grammys last night, you probably know that a Chipotle commercial aired with Willie Nelson covering Coldplay's "The Scientis.t" You can purchase his cover of the track on iTunes and watch the video for the commercial (which has actually been out since August) below.
All dates and video below...

Forget about Arcade Fire and Bonny Bear, who the heck is this old dude playing the Grammys???
Congrats Justin! (for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album)
As seen over 1,000,000 times on YouTube, and now in Target commercial that aired during the Grammys (!), Denise from Staten Island's great PS 22 Chorus can belt out some Adele. Check out the ad, and the original cover video that helped make her famous, below...
Justin Vernon & My Morning Jacket before the Grammys (by dariusjagjag)
Someone from Jagjaguwar tweeted the above picture not long before Justin Vernon shouted out "Jagjaguwar" to end his acceptance speech at the Grammys pre-show this evening (2/12).
Bon Iver won "Best Alternative Music Album", beating out Radiohead, My Morning Jacket, Foster the People & Death Cab Cab For Cutie. Other pre-telecast winners include Adele, Foo Fighters (who beat Mastodon, The Decemberists and TV on the Radio), Skrillex (who won three already and beat Cut Copy, Robyn, Deadmau5 and others), Kanye West (who also won three already), The Civil Wars (who won two already and beat Fleet Foxes), Levon Helm, Alison Krauss, Tinariwen, Louis CK, Cee-Lo, and Booker T Jones who won "Best Pop Instrumental Album" for the 2nd time, and nervously thanked Biz Markie, Questlove, Gabriel Roth (of Daptone Records), Matt Berninger (of the National), and Lou Reed.
Arcade Fire also won another Grammy already (for Best Recording Package).
A Numero Group Syl Johnson release was up for two Grammys but lost in both categories.
And that was just all the stuff they don't show on TV. The regular show with all the big awards (and possibly more for Bon Iver) starts at 8pm EST, Whitney Houston tribute included.

In case you were wondering, no Slash (pictured above) is not in the current lineup of Guns N Roses that plays Terminal 5 tonight.
The Grammys, now overshadowed/advertised by the tragedy that is Whitney Houston's death, air tonight on CBS at 8 p.m. EST. A last minute Whitney tribute was put together for the TV show and will include Jennifer Hudson and Chaka Khan.
In related and also sad (no disrespect to Whitney!) news, Foster the People and Maroon 5/Adam Levine are performing with the reunited Beach Boys at the Grammys. Adele will also be peforming on the show, but Justin Vernon will not be (because he refused to agree to whatever horrible collaboration they wanted him to do).
As previously mentioned...
Bon Iver was nominated for four high profile Grammys (though not "Album of the Year" which is what Arcade Fire won). Adele & Katy Perry nominated for a zillion, and other nominees include The Black Keys, Foster the Peepee, Cee Lo, Duck Sauce, Robyn, Cut Copy, Skrillex, Deadmau5, Coldplay, Radiohead, Mumford & Son, Mastodon, Wilco, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Jay-Z, Kanye West, The Civil Wars, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, Fleet Foxes, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle, Patton Oswalt, Louis CK, Weird Al, Danger Mouse, Memory Tapes, TV On the Radio, and A Tribe Called Quest.Speaking of a A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip was tweeting a lot about Whitney last night, including "Very blessed 2 have worked with n known whitney.. Man!!!"
The Kills played a 10th Anniversary show at Terminal 5 last night. More about that later, but you can check out the video from their performance on Letterman two nights earlier, below...
What else?
Note: not a recent photo of The Allman Brothers
Speaking of the Allmans at the Beacon, the tradition continues... The Allman Brothers will return to Beacon Theater for their annual residency in March, this time hitting the venue on March 9-10th, 13-14th, 16-17th, 20-21st, and 24-25th for shows.

Maybe you heard about or saw record exec Steve Stoute's letter in the NY Times on Sunday. In it, he slams the Grammys for giving awards to bands nobody ever heard of and brought up the "coincidence" of Arcade Fire performing right before and after they won Album of the Year.
Arcade Fire's manager has responded, in the form of a letter to industry analyst Bob Lefsetz, and this is what he said:
BobSteve Stoute's NY Times letter is below...Arcade Fire had the final slot on the Grammys as the ratings are low at the end of the broadcast. It really is that simple. We were one of the least known acts on the bill for a network audience. Don't you think I wanted a better slot for the band?
The reason we got a second song was also simple. No big plot. We had no guarantee of air time, but it was simply to play out the end credits of the show, if we're even had that much. The show never runs like clockwork to an exact time so the end is always loose. As it happened, the broadcast was covered by sponsors messages and the end credits.
For the Grammys international broadcast our main performance, along with that of Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers was completely cut from the show. Our end title performance was bastardised because they cut out ads/sponsor messages completely. It was a bit of a farce. You'd think we'd be given a little more after the fact.Arcade Fire deserved the win this year. They made the best album. If the award was names "Album Sales Of The Year" award, there would be no discussion. Stoutes letter was nice piece of self publicity. Did he see Kanye's tweets when we won and the praise he gave us?? He needs to tune in. Eminem made a big selling album but it was far from being his best work. Katy Perry made a big pop record that simply didn't have weight or credibility. Gaga's repackage, great album but it was a repackage of the main release. I think everyone felt it was going to be Lady Antebellum's moment having won 5 out of 6 awards to that point. We all felt that way too.
I'm proud of this band and what they have achieved. We didn't lobby any organisation for this nor did the band play the game. We paid our own overhead to do the event, thus the lack of on stage gimmicks. No label picked up the tab.
Arcade Fire are now one of the biggest live acts in the world. It's not all about record sales. It's about making great records and it's about building a loyal fan base. Ther band make great albums, they're not a radio driven singles band. On top of that, they own their own masters and copyrights and are in complete control of their own destiny. Things couldn't be better.
Excuse any typos as I'm on my blackberry

Florence & The Machine at Terminal 5 (more by Chris La Putt)
"ARETHA TRIBUTEIt's finally warmer out, so what a perfect time to be thinking about Central Park Summerstage. Fresh off the Grammy Awards, Florence and the Machine have announced a show happening at Central Park Summerstage on June 24th (if you count The Script, that's two announced 2011 Rumsey Playfield shows in total so far). Tickets go on AmEx presale Wednesday at noon and general sale Friday.
Enough to put Aretha six feet under.
Note to Christina... SUBTLETY! And just because you're in the public eye that doesn't mean anybody wants to pay to see you. What planet are you living on? AND LOSE THE HAND!
As to why Florence and Martina were there...can you say DEMOGRAPHICS?
At least Jennifer Hudson can sing, even if she does look like a completely different person."
[Bob Lefsetz]
The NYC show comes during a run of summer shows that include other headlining performances and some gigs with U2 as part of their 360 Tour. All dates are listed below.
In the meantime, you can catch Florence Welch on the Oscars in a couple of weeks. She'll perform "If I Rise" from the 127 Hours soundtrack with composer AR Rahman . Video of last night's Grammys performance is below.
Speaking of U2 (who's Spiderman Broadway musical is getting hammered right now), tickets are still available for their show at the Meadowlands on Jul 20th with Interpol who also open a bunch other dates on the rescheduled tour.
Interpol are now on tour with School of Seven Bells and will play their headlining show at Radio City Music Hall this week (on 2/17). Tickets are still available. In March they head to Europe with Matthew Dear before returning to tour even more leading up to their run with U2. All dates for everyone and a video from the Grammys below...

At least one member of Arcade Fire is ready to start winning at this year's Grammys.today in NYC"I checked with the London bookies online and we've got 9-2 odds, which is not bad," proclaims 28-year-old multi-instrumentalist Will Butler. "Right when we were nominated, we were 11-1. I wish I'd put my money down then."
He's probably not the only one.
It seems a fairly safe bet that the Montreal indie-rock septet will finally take home some hardware this year. Thanks to their acclaimed third album The Suburbs, they're getting more Grammy love than ever before.
The Suburbs is nominated for album of the year against Eminem's Recovery, Lady Antebellum's Need You Now, Lady Gaga's Fame Monster and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.
It's also up for alternative album alongside Band of Horses' Infinite Arms, The Black Keys' Brothers, Broken Bells' self-titled disc and Vampire Weekend's Contra.
Finally, their song Ready to Start is vying for best rock performance by a duo or group, taking on Jeff Beck and Joss Stone's I Put a Spell on You, The Black Keys' Tighten Up, Kings of Leon's Radioactive and Muse's Resistance.
If they win, it will be their first trip to the Grammy podium. (They already have a pair of Junos, and are up for five more at this year's festivities.) [Toronto Sun]

We know Arcade Fire won't be playing any Fashion Week shows - not because they're not fashionable, but because they're playing a show in LA tonight. The occasion is that, like Dr. Dre and Bob Dylan, they're in California to play the Grammys on Sunday.

Arcade Fire @ MSG (more by Bao Nguyen)
"Now our parents will get off our backs about getting a real respectable job!!!!!"--Win ButlerMore about this year's nominations HERE.Arcade Fire's critically acclaimed opus The Suburbs has been nominated for Album Of The Year, arguably the highest possible honor of the 53rd annual Grammy Awards.
The Suburbs has received a total of three nominations: Album Of The Year, Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for The Suburbs' "Ready To Start" and Best Alternative Music Album.
Reached for comment in London, where the band is in the midst of a two-night stand at the O2 Arena, Arcade Fire's Win Butler said, "We are very proud of the record we made and feel incredibly blessed that so many people have gotten it! For those of you who don't understand how gambling works, if something is 100 to 1 odds and you put down 10 dollars, you win 1000 dollars... I'm just saying."
The Suburbs was released August 3, 2010 on Merge Records, debuting at #1 on the U.S. Top 200 and selling nearly 400,000 copies as of press time. The record has been supported by an extensive world tour that has included two nights at New York's Madison Square Garden and a November 13 appearance on Saturday Night Live. The current run of dates will conclude December 12 in Glasgow.
The 53rd annual Grammy Awards will take place at Los Angeles' STAPLES Center on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, and will air live on CBS from 8 - 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

The Black Keys and Mumford & Sons and Kings of Leon and Muse are also all in the "Best Rock Song" category.

You are willing to open the door for your lady, sure; but are you willing to avenge her honor, should her honor be impugned? Is her honor an extension of your own, and is your honor more important than life itself?
Most of us don't have to answer those questions, because most of us don't live in an honor-based society. But what about those who still do? What about those who choose to live by archaic codes and are obligated to answer every insult? According to Wes McBride, a retired L.A. County Sheriff's investigator and an authority on street gangs, "a lot of gang fighting is about girlfriends. It's really a turf dispute. The woman is a man's property, and if she's insulted, he's insulted. It's like, Hey, he dissed me. Or, Hey, I don't like the way he looked at you. And then it starts. But it starts with guns, and it's over in seconds. There used to be fistfights, but now shooting the other guy is the only means of problem solving. No one wants to be the guy who brings a knife to a gunfight. Is chivalry involved? Well, it's hard to fight a duel from the window of a moving vehicle. It's not like they tip their lances to one another before they start shooting."
McBride insists that the gang members who kill one another over perceived slights to their women "have no idea what the word chivalry means." And yet, to the question that men still have to hear, it seems that some of us have earned the right to answer: 'Tis not chivalry that's dead, m'lady. 'Tis the sorry-ass motherfucker who called you a ho.

I planned a radio spotlight on Steve Albini back in 1996ish(?) I was working at a record store at the time, and I was so overwhelmed by how many SA-produced albums I came across that I decided to make it the keystone of an 'alternative' show on the local college station. To limit it to 20 is a tough task. But thanks for reminding me to go home tonight and listen to that Silkworm lp. HA!
Please quit having children write for your blog. Princes' 'Purple Rain" came out n 1984. More than a threat in 1988, don't you think? I would pick Purple Rain over Thriller any day of the week… but then the first cassette I ever bought with my own money was in 1985, and that was the fucking Sex Pistols. Yes, MJ was trying to toughen up, yes Dirty Diana is one of the best songs on there thanks to Steve Stevens amazing riffage (if you don't know SS then you REALLY should not be writing here). And yes you could not find an ssue of Bop or Teen Beat without a picture of MJ (and fortunately also not without a much better pop sensation, Duran Duran). There was one king, Elvis.
I have been a fan for a loooong time. Yes, Daydream Nation is a good record, but its almost cliche' to say it is your favorite. And there was a period (2000s) that I was lost on their work. Then I came back. Rather Ripped, Sonic Nurse, the Eternal and Murray St. were all amazing from end to end. This along with the reissue of "1991: TYTPB", the book, and all the CD reissues I am glad that i got back to those sonic roots. Great list!
I have a sealed copy of this. I would like to have it on my mp3 though. Anyone know of a link to download?

Tami and Chris were married at Stonebrooke Golf Course. The whole wedding was very calm and relaxing; especially Tami and Chris. And despite all the wind we were still able to do all the group photos outside. This first photo was taken by Melissa who assisted me that day. I think it sums up the feel of the whole day. Congratulations again Tami and Chris!

text: I am planning on attending my first Over Eaters Anonymous meeting tonight. From July until now I have been driven by fear because of being diagnosed as diabetic in July. I am scared to death that now that my lab results are showing good numbers I will lose my drive and go back to my old ways. I wanted to binge so bad last night and I almost devoured the second half of my hubby's cookie dough - I had it in my hand! I think I need some irl support. Hubby is very supportive and doing the best he can, but he doesn't know what it's like since he effortlessly keeps a 31-32 inch waist. I'm very nervous though since I also have peoplephobia (sorry, the real word for that has slipped my mind at the moment in my terror). I am terrified. I am scared not to go and I am scared to go. Has anyone ever been to an OEA meeting or something similar? If so, can you tell me what it's like? If anyone else has "peoplephobia" and has managed to get around it could you maybe give me some pointers. I used to not be like this, I used to love people and I was outgoing, then I got a bit shy, and now I can't even hold down a job and I have difficulty leaving the house without my hubby. I don't want to be that way, I want a normal life, but I am so scared. I figure if I can manage to do this it will help with both things, the fear of the people and the food issues, but I don't know if I can do this. I'm sitting here with tears pouring down my face and shaking just thinking about it. It would also mean either skipping the gym and my C25K or going to the gym without hubby too. I have 5 1/2 hours before the meeting starts. Help!!! I'm sorry this post is so rambly, I'm not very coherent when I'm scared.

Know Your Lore: The paladin tradition
Uther the Lightbringer to Arthas, Arthas: Rise of the Lich King by Christie Golden
"Lad, no one feels ready. No one feels he deserves it. And you know why? Because no one does. It's grace, pure and simple. We are inherently unworthy, simply because we're human, and all human beings--aye, and elves, and dwarves, and all the other races--are flawed. But the Light loves us anyway. It loves us for what we sometimes can rise to in rare moments. It loves us for what we can do to help others. And it loves us because we can help it share its message by striving daily to be worthy, even though we understand that we can't ever truly become so. So stand there today, as I did, feeling that you can't possibly deserve it or ever be worthy, and know that you're in the same place every single paladin has ever stood."
There are several paladin traditions on Azeroth. Two are directly interrelated, stemming from the same basic source and coming together in a modern form. Another was originally a mockery of those traditions, now worked into a reflection that suits those who use it. Yet another was brought to the world with the Exodar, a tradition that goes back thousands upon thousands of years. The final one is newborn, a philosophy born of recent meditations on the horrors of war and the need for balance against the darkness.
