Each day we write things down – maybe a grocery list, something memorable in a journal or if we're feeling really creative, even a story. But, how often do we consider the effects and benefits the process of writing has on our brains? This infographic looks at the many ways writing influences positive change for the brain, from helping us remember things more accurately, to influencing a focused, meditative state in the mind.

Interactive Guide To The Jokes On Arrested Development
When it comes to the fact that season 4 of Arrested Development will be released May 26th, I can barely contain my joy! So, it would probably be a surprise if I told you that the first time I saw the show I was completely lost and thought it wasn't funny. I know what it was now, I caught the show half way through season 1 and the recurring jokes had begun long ago. Like close friends, the show used inside jokes from times long past – easily leaving new viewers behind. Have no fear, this seriously awesome interactive graphic, Recurring Developments, will get you back up to speed on all the running jokes from the first 3 seasons. [Read more…]
Movies in Color: Film Stills Broken Down by Color
If you love data, pantone, and cinematography, then you will love this color analysis by Roxy Radulescu. The LA-based graphic designer originally from Illinois was inspired to look into cinematographic color choice when she was watching Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes. She selected a still and used a color generator in Photoshop to get the basic swatch ranges, then she composed the general color palette of the most prominent colors in the still. She has continued to use this process on some of the most popular films in cinema history, choosing a theme each week. This past week she took requests, but before that she had Scorsese, Hitchcock, Kubrick, and Tarantino week. With so many amazing films out there, Radulescu will not be running out of content anytime soon to keep this Tumblr going strong! [Read more…]
Wine Pairing: What Wine with What Food?
With the traditional and practiced "wine and cheese crowd" quickly being outnumbered by a world in love with wine, it's not surprising that many of us have no idea what wines go with what food. Wine pairing is an art often lost on the new wine fanatics, not that it's entirely their fault. There are loads of wine types out there – and even more types of food – making it a tough task when you just want to quickly select a nice bottle to go with that soft cheese and cured meat platter.

The Global Impact of Movember in Numbers
What seemed like a fun excuse to try out growing a mustache is actually a global action plan that raised over $141.5 million and led to more than 2.3 billion conversations about men's health! In the great month of Movember 2012, 1.1 million participants from 21 countries tried to do their best impression of 70's Burt Reynolds. The powerful upper lip hair did not go un-noticed as people posted pictures of their staches all over Facebook and Twitter, each one reaching 2,413 people on average. When you multiply this number by the 1,127,152 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas participating, you get a whopping 2.72 billion conversations! [Read more…]
How Fast the US Became Obese: Animated Map
It's no secret that the US has a weight problem, but do you know how fast the country got fat? I'll be honest, when I first saw this map animated by The Atlantic, my jaw literally dropped when it reached the 2000s… many states explode from around 20% obesity to over 30%. In just my lifetime (I was born in 1980) the whole US has gone from a relatively thin country to a place where the norm in many areas is to be overweight to obese. [Read more…]
Graphic Shows How Google Glass Works
By now you're familiar with seeing fantastic videos filmed while people use Google Glass. From sharing sunset moments on top of skyscrapers to skydiving while streaming live video, the glasses-like device looks poised to revolutionize the way we both experience and interact with the world. But, among so many other questions about the system that we don't know yet, how does Glass work? Although we're treated to video based mockups of the clever looking UI seen on the tiny glass block the devices sport, there isn't much mentioned about how you actually see the picture. Artist Martin Missfeldt recently pulled together documents on Glass' design – including the patent itself – and has made a revealing infographic explaining how it focuses the picture on your eye.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Drone Attacks Interactive
The US has been waging war in the middle east for over 10 years now, making the combination of conflicts in the region the second longest war in our history. This is due, in part, to something new to our war making stategy: drone attacks. These non-manned flying machines allow the government to wage war without the risk of losing American military, while at the same time lowering the financial cost to wage such a conflict due to fewer deployed soldiers. Their are hidden costs to these tactics however, as this shockingly affective interactive graphic from Pitch Interactive makes abundantly clear. [Read more…]

Relentless Reds rally in rolling to 5-0 record
Volquez recovers after shaky first; offense scores 12 unanswered
CINCINNATI -- Buy a ticket to a Reds game with Edinson Volquez starting, and you seem sure to get the range of emotions. You might laugh or cry, cheer or jeer -- all alternating within a span of minutes.
Hey, it's better than "Cats." You'll want to see it again and again. Volquez survived another rocky beginning on Wednesday, but the Reds stormed back in a 12-4 come-from-behind victory over the Astros to keep their record unblemished at 5-0. Houston, now tagged with a 0-5 record, took a 4-0 first-inning lead on Volquez before the Reds responded with 12 unanswered runs. "Everybody knows what this ballclub can do," Volquez said. "We've been scoring a lot of runs in the first five games. We did it again tonight." Although the winning pitcher, Volquez had a line only a mother could love. He allowed four earned runs and five hits with five walks, eight strikeouts and a balk. In the 23-minute top of the first alone, he threw 44 pitches and faced 10 batters -- with three walks (one with the bases loaded). Chris Johnson added a two-run single and J.R. Towles hit a RBI single for the four-run Astros lead. Volquez (1-0) was reaching 96-97 mph in the early going, and his first six outs came via the strikeout. Reds manager Dusty Baker instructed his pitcher to stop worrying about strikeouts and to put the ball in play for the defense. "They didn't really get to him. He sort of got to himself," Baker said. "He trusts his stuff. He just trusts all of it, sometimes at the wrong time. He was over-pitching. He was showing every pitch he had to every batter in the very first inning and never really established a location and his fastball." Even things weren't going well for Volquez as a hitter. In the second inning, he botched a sacrifice bunt and hit into a rather unique 2-5-4 inning-ending double play. On Opening Day Thursday vs. the Brewers, Volquez threw 30 pitches in the first inning and allowed five runs overall. It took Ramon Hernandez's three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Reds a win, as Volquez got a no-decision. Like in that game, Volquez righted himself and put it together for a much nicer ending. But not before opening the top of the second inning vs. Houston with a four-pitch walk. Baker still had no intention of going to get him. And after that walk, Volquez retired seven in a row. "We were trying to stick with him as long as we can," Baker said. "This is our first stretch of consecutive days without an off-day, nine days in a row. If you get upside down on day No. 2, then you're treading on dangerous ground with guys being able to pitch this early in the year. That's not what you want." When Volquez missed two spring starts because of visa issues, the club downplayed its significance. Had he had a full spring, he would have gotten six starts instead of four. Those other two games came in the regular season and Volquez now has a 7.36 ERA with seven walks and 13 strikeouts in only 11 innings. "I just have to be more careful in the first inning," said Volquez, who finished the fifth with 99 pitches to qualify for the victory. "After that, everything worked. I threw more strikes. I kept the ball down and the breaking pitch was there." And the Reds' lineup was there, too. Against Astros starter Nelson Figueroa (0-1), Paul Janish notched the first of his three hits with a one-out RBI single to left field in the second inning. A five-run bottom of the third inning followed as Scott Rolen drove in two runs with double to the wall in left-center field. The Astros made five errors in the game and two of those mishaps sent the third inning out of control. Chris Heisey reached on a Figueroa throwing error. As Jay Bruce and Heisey attempted a double steal, Towles hit his hand on Hernandez's bat while throwing to third and it sent the ball into the dugout for the error and Bruce's go-ahead run. Janish's RBI single to center field scored Heisey for a two-run lead. The Reds added four more runs in the bottom of the sixth. "It's tough against a team like that," said Figueroa, who allowed 10 runs (six earned) over 5 1/3 innings. "Once they get the momentum going, it's hard to stop. They were stringing hits together and making the most of the mistakes we made. They seem to take advantage of every mistake you make. It's a testament to the way they played last year and so far this year". Only three previous Reds clubs have been 5-0 -- 1919, 1980 and 1990. With 43 runs scored, it's one shy of the 1976 club record of 44 runs through five games. There appears to be no chinks in the Reds' armor, yet. The bullpen had another shutdown game with four scoreless innings. The defense has not made an error since Opening Day. If the Reds can get Volquez to smooth the early rough edges, it could get really interesting. "Edinson, maybe he just needs to go out there and calm down a little bit," second baseman Brandon Phillips said. "I know there's a lot of pressure on him being the No. 1 starter and everybody is expecting big things from him. But he's a great pitcher and we have his back. Hopefully, he'll learn from the mistakes he made today, take advantage of it and go out there and pitch a good game."Mark Sheldon is a reporter for MLB.com.

I've previously grown lilium michiganense, and in my climate, it would flower and by time the seedpods would have matured (which I always nipped off to send food to bulb), the foliage was going yellow. So, probably about now...it would start looking ephemeral. I've moved, and this year I have lilium superbum instead, and it appears to be on the same schedule, that is assuming moles, voles, rats, mice, etc haven't eaten the bulb...I recently dug to plant something in that bed and there were tunnels everywhere. I want to keep the native lily, and was wondering if this early dormancy is what other people in a similar zone 6b-7 climate see? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My little baby lily's (lilium superbum) leaves have been yellowing recently. I guess that's normal? I live in zone 5, and this is my first year growing turk's cap lily, so it could be early dormancy. I'm not really sure. I'm just going to let it do what it's going to do I guess. |
Thank you Ethan, it's comforting with a new plant to know someone else's plant is performing the same. |

Schroeder: Pac-10 set for cultural revolution
Here's a column filed Sunday by George Schroeder:
The streets in Lubbock are really wide, and the steaks are really good, and while you're there, don't miss the statue of the city's favorite son. Yeah, Buddy Holly could belt it, couldn't he?
We bring you this nugget because it appears we need to become at least somewhat familiar with the quaint cow town on the West Texas plains.
Feels weird, huh? Despite the tourism council's slogan, this locale is not "the Texas you've always dreamed of."
No, that Texas is in Austin. The Longhorns are the dream catch in any conference expansion scenario — and the reason we're even talking about how the home of Texas Tech, and also Stillwater, Okla., and maybe even Waco, Texas, could soon become, uh, Pac-16 cities.
And the message here is simple: If expansion occurs — and signs say it will, and very soon — get ready for the culture shock.
On Sunday, the Pac-10's presidents wrapped up their meetings in San Francisco, and their Big Ten counterparts finished up in greater Chicago. Their respective commissioners emerged to say nothing much had occurred.
Except Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said he'd been given the go-ahead to "pursue various options and analyze what's in our best interest."
Translation: Here we go. Click here for the complete column.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Hey, fignuts! Remember when the only thing on late-night TV used to be infomercials, reruns or static? It seems that networks are finally recognizing that audiences who don't have to get up at the crack of dawn are just as lucrative as their prime-time counterparts, and no one has taken advantage of this as well as Cartoon Network. At 11 p.m., Cartoon Network drops the kiddie fare in exchange for its "Adult Swim" programming block, an eclectic mix of comedy and action, American and anime. It's in this schedule that Family Guy earned the high ratings that convinced Fox executives to give the show another chance in 2005. One of the weirder shows on the Adult Swim lineup is the inexplicable Sealab 2021 (2 hours 30 minutes, TV-14, Warner Home Video). Sealab is what Cartoon Network refers to as a "repurposed" cartoon - drawing upon the copious Hanna Barbera library and recycling old footage with new voices to save money. The original show was Sealab 2020, a short-lived environmentally minded show that no one on earth would remember if not for its new incarnation. The cartoon featured a team of scientists living and working in a massive undersea complex. Now, one year later, it seems that nitrogen narcosis has set in, because everyone's pretty much abandoned their real jobs and now spend most of their time standing around talking about such weighty, grown-up issues as HappyCake Ovens and dodgeball. The main cast of characters include Brett Butler (no, not the southern comedienne) as Dr. Quinn (no, not the medicine woman), the only guy on the premises who seems to do any real work; Kate Miller as sex-fiend White Debbie, who's usually the one keeping Quinn from doing any real work; and Eric Estrada playing the mas macho muscle-bound Marco Marquez. There's also the scam-running communications officer Sparks, frustrated and furious technician Hesh, wildly idiotic researcher Derek "Stormy" Waters and a whole slew of orphans who speak in British accents because, as we all know, all orphans are British. Plus those jerks in Pod Six. The leader of this motley crew is the incompetent and often childlike Capt. Murphy. Voiced by the now-deceased Harry Goz, Murphy is the dysfunctional eye of the surreal storm that is Sealab. While most of the characters at least attempt to do their jobs, Howlin' Mad Murphy passes time by running up the station's emergency beacon to operate his own pirate radio station or engaging scorpions to fight the station's maintenance robots. The unique brand of humor on Sealab 2021 is an acquired taste, but it's certainly better than some of the other Adult Swim efforts, such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Entirely random and laced with oblique pop culture references (including, in the first season, things as diverse as Magnum, P.I. and Requiem for a Dream), the show isn't always clever or creative - witness how many times the "big ending" is Sealab exploding - but the writing and characters more than make up for any shortcomings. The 13-episode first season of Sealab is newly out on a two-DVD set, complete with a small collection of extras. The episodes are: Disc One: I, Robot Happy Cake Radio Free Sealab Chickmate Lost in Time Predator Little Orphan Angry Waking Quinn Disc Two: All That Jazz Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch In the Closet Stimutacs Swimming in Oblivion The image quality is good, considering that most of what you see is the actual stiff 1972 animation. Where new material was called for, the design and colors remain consistent with the originals. The sound is sparse stereo, but the voices are all clear, and the sound effects never overpower the dialogue. The extras are surprisingly light. We get the original pilot submitted by creators Matt Thompson and Adam Reed, with them and their staff providing the voices, badly. When the pair originally pitched the series, it wasn't picked up, and if this is the one they handed in, it's easy to see why. There are a few distinct changes, such as Dr. Quinn being known as Lebeau or the 22-minute running time instead of the 11-minute episodes we get now. There are three alternate endings for the episode "I, Robot," with very little difference between any of them. One does add a bit of clarity to the story, however, and because the difference would have been about four seconds of air time, it would have been nice to have it included. There's an uncensored version of the FCC guys' conversation at the end of "Radio Free Sealab," and no, they weren't actually cussing. Much. "Little Orphan Angry" gets a pair of deleted scenes, which actually have explanations for why they were cut: for instance, "Cartoon Network felt this scene was just too evil." There are no commentaries on any of these episodes, which is a shame - getting the creators and crew from this show together always results in some funny stuff. As you navigate around the various menus, the alternate versions of the show's catchy theme song play, which is almost a bonus feature in its own right. The line between insanity and entertainment is a thin one, and Sealab 2021 walks it carefully. There are no other shows like it on TV, but let's hope the future DVD releases spend a little more time on some extras to accompany it.

I bought this product after being highly impressed with their vanishing cream. It provides a decent level of scrub, without being too abrasive. It smells a lot like liquorice, so be aware of this if you have any massive opinion on the smell! Also, it is black in colour and can be quite messy, so I recommend using in the shower! A little goes a long way, so a pot will last for months. Also, if you bring back 5 empty pots you get a free face mask so save your lush pots!
So my lovely hubs got a brilliant idea for us to take Himalayan salt baths. So after I finished making our kids lunch he told me he had drawn me a bath with the Himalayan rock salt. Little did I know he used 10x the amount that should have been used. So he threw the PH of my skin into a tail spin. I started breaking out with cystic acne and I haven't had that in years. I did some research and I knew we had a Lush store on the strip here in Vegas, so I sent him to pick Dark Angels and a few other items. This stuff worked like dark MAGIC! After a few washes all my deep cystic acne had surfaced and was healing. I was truly amazed! We are now switching a lot of our hygiene and body care items out for Lush products. This did such wonders for my skin. It really draws out all the "crap" your skin hoards and pulls it to the surface to be washed away! The only thing I don't like is the fact that I paid 15$ on this cleanser and got it in a very cheap container. I was a little shocked because on the website it comes in a black tub, mine came in something that looked like it had fishing bait in it at one point. But I digress, this product is amazing, a very small amount goes a long way. Don't think it would be good more than twice a week as it is very abrasive. Very good on acne prone OILY skin. If your dry, I would not recommend this for you. Maybe try Lush herbalism for more dry skin types.

I love this scrubby cleanser! Only once a week though. I am almost 50 and don't have any skin issues but it makes my face so clean and fresh feeling. I am careful with rubbing it to much because it is quite abrasive. It has also cleared up my son's (15) acne. He uses this once a week with fresh farmacy and coal face the other days. His face really cleared up when he started using this though.

I really like this cleanser. It feels nice on the skin and is moderately abrasive. It does help control oil and any blemishes have improved since using this product. It last a long time and just a little pinch of the product goes a long way. The only drawback to this is it is black colored and will stick to your shower. The only way to wash it off is with cleaning products.
I bought this along with Angels on Bare Skin to try for NZ$18.90 each. I think for the price it gives a decent amount of product as you only need to use a pea size each time. I bought this primarily for an exfoliant to use once or twice a week in the shower (very messy!). Don't know what it is but I'm not completely sold on it yet. Maybe it's because it feels too harsh on my skin? It just feels scratchy and I don't like the smell at all. But other than that, it seems to exfoliate well enough, and my skin doesn't come out looking red or irritated after. Probably won't repurchase, but keen to try other Lush exfoliators.
EDIT: This has now become my everyday face wash, and my skin has never looked better!! I ran out of the AOBS and decided to use this up before purchasing that again, and it is much better for my skin. It says on the tub it's like Angels on Bare Skin for oily girls. My skin isn't all that oily but I do a pre-cleanse to take off my makeup with coconut oil and I think this takes all of that off my face and doesn't leave any residue. It's not as messy as I thought once you get the hang of using it. Will definitely repurchase after I finish this tub!
I have very oily skin that is prone to breakouts, and I like having a cleanser that will exfoliate my skin regularly. When I use something with a bit of exfoliant and natural ingredients once a day my skin seems to clear up and I no longer have any noticeable breakouts or redness on my face. I bought an $19 container of this from LUSH and figured it would be ok, since I haven't had any other problems with Herbalism or anything else, and I live far away from a LUSH store so I don't like having to get samples and go back! It seemed ok for a few days and then it seemed to start making my skin irritated and itchy. When I use something different however (like a mask or different cleanser) it doesn't seem to bother me. I am thinking maybe it is an ingredient in the Dark Angels cleanser whether it is natural or not it would be easy for something to irritate my skin and give me an allergic reaction.
I have also been using Mask of Magnaminty, Herbalism, and Brazened Honey and none of these products irritate my skin so I have decided I will continue using them, and just stop using the Dark Angels cleanser.
I do like the smell, and I love how rough it scrubs your skin. I would recommend using it in the shower like I did if you are going to use this cleanser because it is so dark colored and could be a bit messy to clean up anywhere else.

I started using this product a little over a month ago. I'm pregnant and have been having a horrible time with breakouts. I don't like putting harsh chemicals on my face, so I decided to give lush a try. At first, I couldn't stand the smell, but it has grown on me. It's kinda earthy, but not unpleasant. I use this morning and night and follow it with a quick rub with fresh farmacy to remove any residue. I then follow with a Boots Botanical toner and gel lotion. My face has calmed down and I haven't had any big, painful cysts like I was getting before. I did break out once, but that was after a weekend at the lake with sunscreen on my face for 2 days. I've noticed some people complaining about the mess, but I always get water everywhere when I wash my face, so it doesn't make a difference to me. Hopefully my routine continues to work after the baby is born!
I'm really enjoying this product! I have noticed a reduction in the amount of oil on my skin now which is great! On the pricier side- But i guess that's what you pay for quality.
Ok, yeah..this product is not targeted to my skin type but I just had to try it. It looks so cool and smells so good IMO. It does exfoliate but not really evenly, nor smoothly. It's a bit scratchy, so you have to be mindful of the pressure you use while scrubbing. On the negative, it doesn't rinse completely clean so I would recommend following with a gel cleanser. After using, my skin does feel a bit softer but since it doesn't rinse clean and it's a bit too scratchy for my taste....i doubt I'd splurge on a full container. Not bad though.
I have combination skin and I'm prone to acne. After using the product, I noticeably saw how smooth and soft my face looked. In addition, my face felt rather refreshed from using this. This is a corse exfoliator and I really feel the deep cleansing as I message it on my face. I recommend messaging this in circular motions and applying a face mask afterwards (I use cosmetic warrior--also from lush). Overall, I'm pleased that it helped me with my acne after continuous usage.
I guess one of the downsides of using this product is washing it off. It's sturdier and requires more effort and time, but I don't mind. It works for me so I find it's worth it.
Lastly, I like how you can ask the salesperson how much you want of this, so I usually ask for $3 worth of Dark Angels and it lasts me over a month.

Analysis and Improvement of a Strongly Secure Certificateless Key Exchange Protocol Without Pairing
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Recently, Yang and Tan proposed a certificate less key exchange protocol without pairing, and claimed their scheme satisfies forward secrecy, which means no adversary could derive an already-established session key unless the full user secret keys (including a private key and an ephemeral secret key) of both communication parties are compromised. However, in this paper, the authors point out their protocol is actually not secure as claimed by presenting an attack launched by an adversary who has learned the private key of one party and the ephemeral secret key of the other, but not the full user secret keys of both parties.

I would think that anyone who is the owner or CEO of a company organized with a flat structure would need to be very careful in hiring the managers at the various positions. These employees would need to be highly trained in skills such as decision-making, creative thinking, ability to work well with clients and employees, and able to use initiative.
I imagine they would be well-paid as they are responsible for one portion of the business. With this kind of organization, the managers' focus might be too narrow - not seeing the big picture.

I am considering purchasing some 80% AR15 lowers and a drilling jig to see how hard it is finish one. My question is after I finish the lower do I need to have the lower heat treated to harden it?

Generally no. The lower receiver is not where the primary stress is. Before beginning, go ahead and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=SYUfcxnDSWg&NR=1 (similar videos also exist there, as well as some how to anondize videos) and know you also that some jigs are out there specifically designed for folks that have only a drill press instead of a mini-mill.
How much would it cost to make one of these, everything included
Marlin Model 60 Mossberg Maverick 88-12 GA Mosin Nagant 91/30 Stag Model 2 Savage Model 11 Saiga 7.62x39 Mossberg MVP Varmint Chinese T53 Mosin Nagant X2 53 Springfield M1 Garand
Check out the vendor links at the bottom of http://www.darksoultactical.com/workshop.html for prices and wait times. Demand drives up prices. There are other vendors out there too. Add the lower and upper and internal parts and you are probably in the $900 range. Your big decision will be whether or not to go with a mil spec lower or a non milspec unit. Read the fine print and ask questions of the vendor if you can't tell mil spec from non. Either way all the other parts should be the same, i.e., mil spec or after market manufacturer specific. You will need a jig. Which Jig will depend on which manufacturer's billet you are using as non mil spec billets use different jigs than do the mil spec ones. Likewise, will you be using a drill press or will you be using an actual mill (or mini mill)? Again different jigs for each. Jigs run about $100 but you can use them over and over. Or use, copy, and then sell one to the next guy. There are plenty of decent videos on you tube showing you what is involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=SYUfcxnDSWg&NR=1 is a good beginning. There are also videos dealing with anodizing with various colors unless you get one pre-anodized (I find that sometimes scuffs in a jig, and black is so boring anyway).
I am currently looking at the drill press style jigs now.I have a lot more thought and research before I consider venturing into this. Thank you for the links.
I have a drill press...is it hard to do with a drill press as compared to a mill?
Actually it's pretty easy to do with a drill press if you're using a jig. Just buy some end mill bits. Oh, and be sure to get some jb weld because you will mess up.
Okay, so you buy a lower, need a good drill press if you don't have a mill, need to buy the correct bits, need to buy the jig, and jb weld, as well as other things. Does it justify buy a 80% lower over a complete one cost wise? Or am I missing something?

On the local tip, swervegaze wizard REIGHNBEAU is premiering the boss music video for "Milk of Amnesia" at the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) on Wednesday, Aug. 6. One of the perks of the fourth estate is sneak peeks, and I can assure you that my REIGHNBEAU crush remains strong. The screening will be followed by a live performance and light show. The house lights dim at 10:20pm only to rebound with matchless radiance. For more deets and to RSVP for this free cinematic event, click here. Below, listen to or download REIGHNBEAU's "bootleg" of Angelo Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks" theme.
Chapter House is an enigmatic micro label whose catalog is hyperlinked to genres like "punk," "moccvsin gvze" and "stewgaze." The label's latest compilation features Four Corners-based and nuevomexicano artists. Ryan Dennison and DISCOTAYS are all-time favorites of mine, but I was unfamiliar with other acts showcased on the release. And while I didn't unearth the secret lives of those new-to-me bands, I did discover groups with names like Purple Cats in Slacks, Midnight Stew and The Fly that are ripe for inclusion in New Mexico's sonic cosmology. Stream Volume 3 below and nab some pay-what-you-will releases from the Chapter House Bandcamp.
This entry's final homespun miracle is the NSFW [coughfreethenipplecough] music video for the opening tracks from sleaze-thrash trio [H]ohm's Haroun Farm EP. The narrative begins with telegenic power-drummer Kris Kerby hitchiking, and it focuses on the band and alt.models from The Voodoo Dolls, including co-owner Jelly Honey. Produced by Solano Pictures, the photography and editing are professional-strength. The cast is easy on the eyes, but wild women and band members aren't the only characters. The Sandias are the real star of this production. If you've ever dreamed about rocking the Kiwanis Cabin, hit play below for vicarious wish fulfillment.
Those musicians and their surprise album releases. Indie-rock duo The Raveonettes just released a new record (Pe'ahi), and though I'm sure some knew it was coming, it's still a lovely surprise. Cause new music is new music, no? Have a listen to the album's opening track below, and look for the record … well … everywhere!
It's a good day, y'all. 'Member how I mentioned The Unicorns had sort of reformed to play some live shows (even though they insinuated no plans to record new material)? Well, not that it's exactly new material, but the band has decided to reissue their phenomenal 2003 record Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?. The reissue will be available digitally (July 29) and via CD (Aug. 26) and vinyl (Oct. 7). So depending on your format, mark them dates on your calendars. Among the few unreleased tracks available on the reissue is the Daniel Johnston cover "Rocketship," which you can tune into below.
Damn that Mr. Jack White and his prolific prowess as a singer/songwriter/producer/record label owner/ and now book publisher. In keeping with the theme of hard work and tangible results, Mr. White has launched a book publishing company through his record label, under the guise Third Man Books, and he's gearing up to release a book of art, poetry and prose, titled Language Lessons: Vol. 1. Contributors to the text include Dale Ray Phillips, Richard Hell and Tav Falco. To read more 'bout the book, which hits stores and online markets on Aug. 5, head over to Pitchfork.
I know tons of people are excited to see a new release from rock band Weezer. Hell, even I'm excited, and I'm not even that big of a fan. Their new record (Everything Will Be Alright in the End) hits stores on Sept. 30, but the band has made album track "Back to the Shack" available for aural consumption. Here's where you thank them. Have a listen below.
All I know of Blake Mills seems to carry a connection to Fiona Apple. I first found out about him from reading that they were doing a tour together last year. Then came the video of Apple and Mills performing my favorite Apple track "I Know." Now Apple is appearing on Mills' ditty "Don't Tell Our Friends About Me," off his upcoming record Heigh Ho. The song also features Jon Brion (who produced Apple's fantastic When The Pawn …). See all those connecting dots? See 'em? You can hear the track below, and look for Mills' record on Sept. 16.
We know you love streaming new albums. And why shouldn't you? It's a nice way to preview an entire album before deciding whether or not you want to spend your heard-earned pennies. We get you. We understand you. And so does Tom Petty, which is why you can stream the new Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album (Hypnotic Eye) over at NPR. And while you're there, why not check out Jenny Lewis' The Voyager as well. Happy listenin'!

Regardless, it makes sense that if you're gong to have some dudes (or in this case, turtles) fighting crime, a slick tune is required to kick some ass and take some nombres. So Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and Ty Dolla $ign have banded together to make "Shell Shocked," a track from the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (out Aug. 8). Let's not talk about Megan Fox being cast as April O'Neil. It's just upsetting. But who knows? The film could be friggin sweet. Have a listen to the tune below.
Those musicians and their film scores … First we have Jenny Lewis scoring Naomi Foner's Very Good Girls, and now we got James Murphy (formerly of LCD Soundsystem) scoring Noah Baumbach's upcoming film While We're Young. This is essentially exciting because not only do I consider Baumbach to be one of the greatest living directors around (see Margot at the Wedding, Squid & the Whale or his last film Frances Ha), but Murphy is a perfectly reputable guy to get for scoring duties. Oh, and he also scored Baumbach's Greenberg, so this should be somewhat of a kind reunion. PS: Ad-Rock (of Beastie Boys) is also set to star in the film. To read more 'bout it, head to Stereogum.
In case I haven't mentioned it before (though I'm sure I have), A.V. Club does a series called A.V. Undercover where they put out a list of famous songs, and bands come in and choose a song to cover at the publication's headquarters. After a song is covered, it gets crossed off the list, so no bands can do one that's already been done. Their latest is The Coathangers covering The Go-Go's "We Got the Beat." Though their version is "We Got the Weed." You know … cause weed makes things better. You can view that below, and don't miss out on The Coathangers, who are playing at Sister on Wednesday, July 30. Your trusty Alibi writer August March wrote a little somethin' 'bout 'em in the latest issue. Enjoy!
I'm sure some people have wondered what Eric Clapton's been up to. Though I'm sure those in the know have gathered that Clapton doesn't really ever stop. Sure, you can search the old record bins for his work in The Yardbirds, or you can listen to his new record: The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale. The album includes 16 tracks and numerous collaborations with such musicians as Tom Petty, Willie Nelson and John Mayer. In fact, you can hear Clapton's "Don't Wait," featuring the aforementioned Mayer over at Billboard. The album itself hits the music-sphere on July 29, so keep your ears out for that one.
Driving across the North American continent with only a box of guitars, drum parts and the blues—and prolly the directions to dozens of roadhouses, dimly lit bars and rustic concert venues as companions—Bob Log III makes an appearance on Tuesday night at Low Spirits (2823 Second Street NW). He may or may not have his dinghy on board, but this mysterious and damn talented master of the six-string promises a jam party complete with dancing, boob-stirred drinks and lap sitting as part of the experience. Log wears a human cannonball outfit and microphone-equipped helmet during his performances. He recently chatted with the Alibi on his drive out west. The guitarist now calls Melbourne, Australia home, and stopped in the western desert to talk.
AM: So this is your big summer tour, eh?
BLIII: I get to come back home to America at least once a year, and I love it. I have a blast. I'll play anywhere there's a room full of people drinking beer, and that's pretty much a lot of places.
AM: How's it shaping up?
BLIII: This one's pretty big, man. At one point, I'm going to be doing 37 shows in a row; it's gonna get real interesting, but I'm also gonna get real good. I've been practicing 17 years for this show coming up in Albuquerque. But I keep it interesting. I change it up. I don't do set lists. I just get up there and kinda see what happens.
AM: Are you touring as a solo act this time around?
BLIII: It's just me and the car. My plan is to kidnap people. I do have an opening band for the stretch from Nashville to New Hampshire.
AM: You're playing that legendary Silvertone guitar for this tour, aren't you?
BLIII: I am, but I also have some Airline guitars right now too. I get acoustic guitars and put a Silvertone pickup on them, and I put a piezo-accoustic pickup on them. There are two outs, so I get a distorted sound and an acoustic sound at the same time; that way I cover every frequency a guitar can possibly make.
AM: Don't you also play the drums at the same time?
BLIII: When I play drums, I try to sound like a tight drummer and a drunk drummer at the same time. So time becomes like a rubber band, and I can move it or change it or shape it anyway I want. All day, time rules your day … but for an hour and a half each night I get to be the master of time. For the drunk drummer, I have a kick drum and a cymbal. For the tight drummer, I use a drum machine. My two drummers kinda hate each other. I get to finger-pick on top of the fighting.
AM: That sounds kinda tense.What do you think about that kind of tension in music?
BLIII: It's really a kind of release. The first time people started banging on rocks, it was some kind of celebration. The first music—people banging on the stuff around them—probably would have been really fucking fun. I'm trying to keep music fun. That's my job. I don't know anything else.
AM: Besides being fun to listen and party to, some have said your act is deeply transgressive. What are your thoughts on that?
BLIII: I'm a guitar player, and I've played since I was 11. I take that seriously, but I try to turn that into a party, a guitar party. I'm trying to get people to dance, and to dance wrong. If they drop a drink and the glass breaks, I'm doing my job. People can come on stage anytime and get crazy, and I encourage that. They come up and sit on me and I bounce them around while I play. I couldn't actually do that in normal time, but when I play guitar I get energy I don't normally have.
AM: What about the boob references: boobs as accompanying instruments or boob-stirred scotch?
BLIII: It's about making fun of people who use boobs to try and sell you something. I'm saying boobs are ridiculous; let's take out the sexy, the commercial power. Let's do something folks would never do with their boobs. I dare anyone in the audience to do it and not smile. As for the song itself, instead of writing a song about what made my day bad, I wrote a song about what made my day good. That day, a woman saw me drinking, said give me that drink and just put her boob in it. I took a sip, and that made me feel fucking better.
AM: How does that work within your music?
BLIII: It's the blues turned into a party. It's like Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The songs aren't about being sad anymore … Rock and roll came around, and then I decided to put on a funny suit and throw a party. It's hilarious, and it's the coolest guitar you've ever heard.
Bob Log III performs his one-of-a-kind take on the blues at Low Spirits (2823 Second Street NW) on Tuesday, July 22, at 9pm. Doors are at 8pm, and the cover is just 8 clams.
Last week, we said goodbye to the last surviving founding member of The Ramones: drummer Tommy Ramone. He was 65 and had been battling cancer. If you know anything about The Ramones, there really is nothing left to say, other than we'll always have the music. RIP Tommy and a safe journey to the worlds beyond. EDITOR'S NOTE: As of press time, it was also announced that legendary blues guitarist Johnny Winter passed away at the age of 70. We bid you a kind farewell, sir. Rest in peace.
It's finally here, y'all. Well, not here exactly, but you can now stream La Roux' new record Trouble in Paradise. Though the record doesn't come out till next week, this'll at least give you an opportunity to decide whether you wanna drop some coin for it. Happy listening! And since we're on the topic of album streamage, why not check out White Fence's The Recently Found Innocent over at NPR. Assuming you can't wait for it to drop on the 22nd.
If there's a fun video out there right now, Jenny Lewis' visual for "Just One of the Guys" takes the cake. The single comes off her latest solo record (The Voyager), which hits stores on July 29. What makes the video so good are probably the dude-bro performances by such notable actresses as Kristen Stewart (Panic Room), Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) and Brie Larson (Short Term 12 (!)). Donning men's tracksuits and mustaches, it's pretty laughable and great. Have a looksie below.
Stuart Murdoch's long-in-the-works film (God Help the Girl) is finally getting its release date. Oh, and the official motion picture soundtrack too. The film hits movie theaters in the US on Sept. 5, and the soundtrack will be available in stores on Sept. 2, which isn't too far off. The Belle and Sebastian singer-songwriter wrote and directed the movie after some hefty crowd-funding and whatnot. Most of us already know that he's a great musician, but what of his prowess as a filmmaker? We'll soon find out. You can listen to a cut from the soundtrack below. PS: The film also stars Emily Browning (of Sucker Punch and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events), who sings the aforementioned track.
What is a world without "Weird Al" Yankovic parodying the obsessions of his modern compatriots. If it wasn't Nirvana, it was Lady Gaga; nothing really seems to be off limits for Mr. Al. Now he's decided to take on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with a song called "Word Crimes," which aims to teach people how to use proper grammar. The song comes off his latest record (Mandatory Fun), which is out now. But have a listen of the track below. You can also head here to see his parody of Pharrell's "Happy" or here to see his parody of Lorde's "Royals."
Since you can't really find music shows on MTV anymore (unless you have weird cable channels that give you MTV 2, 3, 4, 5 …), there's little in the way of seeing interactions between various musicians on cable television. To remedy that, VH1 has come out with a new series ("SoundClash") that puts various artists on stage together to give it more of a music festival feel. The first episode airs on July 23 and has performances from Fall Out Boy, T.I. and London Grammar. You can head to Stereogum to view those performances now. How's that for a special preview?
I first heard of Vashti Bunyan from interviews with Devendra Banhart, in which he listed her as a major influence. That was during my "freak folk" phase. Singer-songwriter Bunyan released her first album in 1970 and waited 35 years to come out with her second offering. And now, the third album approaches. Titled Heartleap, that will see the light of day in October, but you can take a listen to the record's opening track ("Across the Water") below. Enjoy!
Talk about coming together: Over 700 independent record labels have gathered to form the "Fair Digital Deals Declaration," which seeks to make a more cohesive and transparent policy in regards to how they deal with their artists. There are five stipulations, one of which is to support artists who oppose unauthorized uses of their music. Another stipulation is to clearly explain downloading and streaming revenues to musicians. Some labels who are taking part are Domino, Drag City, Sub-Pop, Epitaph and Saddle Creek. Head over to Billboard to read more about that.
'Member how I told yous guys that Jordan Knight (of New Kids on the Block) and Nick Carter (of Backstreet Boys) were becoming a dynamic duo (Nick & Knight)? That's still true. In fact, they've put out their debut single "One More Time." Their self-titled album doesn't hit stores until Sept. 2, but I'm sure they wanted their single to gain traction, what with it being somewhat of a summer jam and all. Listen to the ditty below.
Attention: The first official Beatle's film in 44 years is about to commence! Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard (you know ... from "Happy Days") is gonna direct a documentary about the band's touring years from 1960 to 1966. The surviving members and spouses of the late members have all signed off on it, so you know it's going to be fairly legit. The filmmakers are also looking for live footage of The Beatles, so who knows? Your footage could make it into the film. Head to Consequence of Sound to read more 'bout it.
Consumers of my dancing-about-architecture reportage are probably aware of my frequent use of the adjectival "blackety-black." It's really just an overly precious synonym for: atramentous, ebony, jet, obsidian, onyx, pitch, slate, sloe and the like. But thanks to British scientists at Surrey NanoSystems, there's now an honest-to-goodness blackety-black. It's called Vantablack (or super black), and it's record-breaking darkness absorbs all but .035 percent of light. It's so damn black that the human eye has difficulty discerning its dimensions. Like a freaking black hole. Its primary intended applications are terrestrial, space and air-borne optical instrumentation. But now hear this: The Little Black Dress will never be the same.
The Daily Mail reports that it's created using carbon nanotubes—"which are 10,000 thinner than human hair and so miniscule that light cannot get in but can pass into the gaps in between"—and if that isn't enough, it's 10 times stronger than steel and conducts heat seven-and-a-half times more effectively than copper. Yeah. Owing to my obsessive-compulsive nature, themes prove irresistably attractive, so here are my favorite songs that pay tribute to blackety-black, er, Vantablack. Share your favorite black-centric tracks in the comments, fellow darklings.
King Tuff's Was Dead album was one of my favorites of 2013. Though it came out years ago, fan fervor over the original recordings made him reissue it last year, and rightfully so. It's a fantastic record. Now Tuff is gearing up to release another LP (Black Moon Spell), and he's giving a taste of what it'll entail with the album track "Eyes of the Muse." That should tide you over 'til Sept. 23, but I'm sure he'll release more previews between then and now. Here's hoping.
I've always liked Usher ... well, mostly. I've lost touch with a lot of his recent work, but "Confessions Part II," "Nice and Slow" and "Yeah" are some good songs to dance, reflect or get in the mood to. Whatever your preference, the man knows what he's doing. Now Usher has made a track available that was produced by Pharrell and features Nicki Minaj. The slick, club-happy number will definitely be a crowdpleaser. Head to Hip-Hop Wired to hear it.
Coldplay and Cat Power? I'm sure some could have predicted it … probably not. Cat Power is ... well ... Cat Power. And Coldplay used to be good. Regardless, it's an interesting combination any way you squeeze it, and the song they've concocted together (written by Coldplay's Chris Martin, sung by Chan Marshall) is a contemplative little number. The track "Wish I Was Here" was written and recorded for Zach Braff's upcoming film of the same name. How that'll go is an entirely different thing. But check out the song below.
There's always dissension when a legendary rock group announces they've recorded new material. Some say it's going to be awful. Some say it's a new era, a new sound. Whatever your views, that still doesn't stop it from happening. Take Pink Floyd for instance. The group is coming out with a new record (The Endless River) in October, and according to the band's website, it's "an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions which feature David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright." So keep an eye out for that one … or don't … I mean I might not even remember … I probably will though.
I mentioned a few weeks back that Christopher Owens (former frontman from Girls) was coming out with his second solo album. Well, that's still happening. The record (A New Testament) hits the music-sphere on Sept. 30. And Owens shared a snippet in the form of "Nothing More Than Everything to Me," which you can view below.
It's happening. Beck is going to release a new album titled Song Reader. I know, I know, he already came out with a record called Song Reader (though it was a release of sheet music, made to be interpreted by skilled musicians). But Beck is going to release actual recordings of those songs, and each track is going to be done by a different artist. Among them are Laura Marling, Jack Black, Jarvis Cocker, Jack White and much more. Head to Pitchfork to get more deets on that. Oh, and it drops on July 29, which is hella soon!
Like most, I became familiar with The Vines at the turn of the millennium when they graced us with "Get Free." Anyone else remember the Hives vs. Vines battle during MTV's Music Awards? Them's were the days. The band has been steadily releasing albums over the past decade, though none have found their way on my radar. Now, they're coming out with a new double LP (Wicked Nature). They're self-releasing it via PledgeMusic where fans donate funds and get free downloads of some of the album's tracks. So there ya go. Not sure when the record is coming out, but you can watch the video for their new song "Metal Zone" below.
Taylor Swift is a writer? Well, duh, I know she writes her own songs, but an editorial? And for the Wall Street Journal? The country-pop sensation wrote a piece on the future of the music industry, speculating on where music will be in 30 or 40 years. Swift describes herself at the beginning of the piece as an "enthusiastic optimist." (Go figure.) She does say some insightful things here and there, and whether you agree with her assertions, it's not as if she's the be-all-end-all authority on music entirely. But if you want her perspective, it's not a terrible read. See what she has to say here.
Fans of Death Proof are no strangers to Mary Elizabeth Winstead (you know, the one who was dressed like a cheerleader in the second half). 'Member the scene where she sits in the car and sings a lovely cover of Smith's "Baby It's You"? Good times. Well Winstead and Dan "The Automator" Nakamura have a music project together (Got A Girl), and they're getting ready to release a record on July 22. To give people a preview, they've made the track "There's a Revolution" available. Listen to the retro pop ditty below.
There are still moments when I get tears in my eyes at the thought that I will never see The White Stripes live in person. I think back to moments when I could have seen them had I driven 3 1/2 hours, changed highways, snacked on goodies, all while playing all six of their fantastic albums in chronological order. That is slightly remedied with the release of a live White Stripes album (Live Under the Lights of the Rising Sun). No release date on it yet, but the record will have 31 tracks, and it's taken from their first tour in Japan in 2000. So it'll probably have some good early stuff. Head to NME to read more 'bout it.
Are you properly caring for your inner goth? My years of rockin' an all-black wardrobe, a Wite-Out complexion and panda eyes may be over, but I take care to nourish my blackety-black heart and sonic sensibility. If you're feeling the urge to chainsmoke clove cigs, brood and write bad poetry, I recommend channeling that energy into a celebration of Dark Entries Records' fifth anniversary.
DJ Josh Cheon founded the label in July 2009 with the intention of releasing out-of-print and unreleased underground '80s treasures. Named for the first 7-inch released by goth icon Bauhaus, Dark Entries' focus is curation, preserving sound quality and respecting its artists' aural aesthetic . And, yes, the label's output is strictly vinyl.
Dark Entries' lifeblood is the excavation, quality reproduction and distribution of largely unknown pleasures, but it also showcases contemporary acts whose sound harkens back to the heyday of minimal synth, coldwave, dark wave, electro, Italo disco and post-punk. Highlights of the Dark Entries catalog include work by Dark Day, Jeff and Jane Hudson, Starter, Linea Aspera, Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons, Algebra Suicide, Los Microwaves, Patrick Cowley, Victrola, Lè Travo, Crash Course in Science, Lassigue Bendthaus, Cute Heels and Helen.
"If only for the old times," reminisce and peer into the future by exposing your dark side to Dark Entries.
Welcome to the first installment of "Now Hear This," a column to chronicle my obsessive-compulsive sonic studies, archaelogical and futurist alike. And while here with me, expect everything from old and alt.country to rocanrol to dark wave to Italo disco to queercore to punk to riot grrrl to noise to minimal synth and everywhere in between ... Except smooth jazz, (most) contemporary country and reggae. They just don't do it for me. As they say—who are they, anyway?—there's no accounting for taste.
I embrace that motto and am wholly dependent on my musical addiction to transcend the banality of everyday life. Don't get me wrong. I really dig my life. Getting to collaborate with and work alongside an uber-talented editorial staff and freelancers every day is, like, the dream. But sometimes you simply have to hear something new or unfamiliar that excites and challenges you. This column will serve as complement to my colleague Mark Lopez' wide-ranging Rooster Roundabout series.
My soundscape and its population, past and present, have benefited from the hive mind of many wonderful humans, ranging from my vinyl historian pal Mike Harper in Huntsville, Tex., who first exposed me to the music nerd bug;
to synth/post-punk/ industrial maven and Systems of Romance curator Frankie Teardrop, also of cold wave/post-punk band The Harrow;
to Dirt City denizen Derek Caterwaul, notably of KUNM Radio and Low Life at Blackbird Buvette, who remains one of my favorite DJs after more than a decade of listening to his Music to Soothe the Savage Beast and Overnight Freeform shows;
to Burqueña Tahnee Udero aka DJ Tahnee, whose massive knowledge base is supplanted by exquisite taste, and her solo project TAHNZZ garnered serious listmas praise in 2013;
to Mello Sanchez aka DJ Mello, an uber-talented DJ and pastry chef and one of my best friends;
to northerly neighbor Lorrie Edmonds, curator of I Will Not Return Your Records, which I can safely say is one of the best radio shows on the planet.
So this is a shout-out to all y'all strange, kindred music nerds, both the ones I know and the ones I haven't met yet.
