The Go Betweens | 01/10/14
The Domino Recording Company is honoured to announce the upcoming release of an extraordinary anthology for one of the most beloved and influential Australian groups of all-time, The Go-Betweens. G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume One extensively documents the band's origins in an ambitious box containing four vinyl albums, four compact discs and an extensive 112-page book, featuring a trove of archival photos and extensive historical liner notes from founding member Robert Forster, along with additional pieces from guest essayists, fans and contemporaries.
The box set captures the band's output from 1978 through 1984 and includes the first vinyl re-pressings of their first three studio albums in over thirty years (Send Me A Lullaby, Before Hollywood & Spring Hill Fair), all re-mastered from the original analogue tapes. G Stands For Go-Betweens also brings together their early classic and collectible singles together on a fourth vinyl LP entitled The First Five Singles featuring new artwork from its creators. Additionally, the set comes with four compact discs of rare, hard-to-find and unreleased demos, recordings, radio sessions and a complete live concert radio broadcast from 1982. If that's not enough, the set comes with a silkscreen of their first promotional poster for their debut single, "Lee Remick", as well as a reproduction of their very first press release from their own Able Label.
For a complete tracklist and in-depth information on this release, please visit the following: http://dominorecordco.com/gobetweens/
We will begin taking pre-orders for this very special limited edition release today and will continue to do so until October 31st. While a very small overrun may be made available to a few select retail outlets at a later date, this is a deluxe limited package and we will only be pressing this very special collection once. The only way to guarantee your own copy is to order from Domino Mart HERE. The stock is estimated to be delivered to customers at the beginning of January.
But here's the special part: the first 600 orders will get a randomly selected book from the late Grant McLennan's personal literary collection along with a specially-printed bookmark signed by Robert Forster, certifying their veracity. These books were collected by Grant through his lifetime and some were signed and dated by him on purchase (though no guarantee that every book will have said inscription...it will be the luck of the draw). Recipients will be invited to join the Grant McLennan Book Club over at www.go-betweens.net to share anecdotes and book reports on the copies they receive.
The Go-Betweens were formed by Robert Forster and Grant McLennan in Brisbane, Australia in 1978 while studying at the University of Queensland. The duo, augmented by various drummers and guests, recorded a series of acclaimed singles for seminal Australian labels such as their own Able Label and Missing Link. After a sojourn to London and Glasgow that led to their brief relationship with the legendary Postcard label, they were joined by their more permanent rhythmic counterpart, drummer Lindy Morrison, upon their return home prior to recording their debut album, Send Me A Lullaby. That release brought them to the attention of Rough Trade and a lengthy re-location to London. It was then the band recorded their breakthrough album, Before Hollywood. Produced by John Brand (Aztec Camera, The Waterboys), the album contains some of the group's most beloved recordings, including McLennan's "Cattle And Cane" and Forster's "By Chance". Shortly thereafter, McLennan would hand off bass playing duties to new member Robert Vickers, who joined the group prior to the recording of Spring Hill Fair.
During their initial phase, the group went on to record three additional albums for Beggars Banquet before splitting up in 1989 in spite of their greatest commercial success with the album 16 Lovers Lane. Forster and McLennan went on to extensive solo careers before reuniting in 2000 and making three more Go-Betweens album together, including the ARIA-winning finalé, Oceans Apart. Sadly, the reunion came to a sudden end when McLennan passed away on May 6th, 2006 from a heart attack and The Go-Betweens disbanded for good.
It would be hard to overstate the shadows cast across the musical landscape of the last three decades by the Go-Betweens' self-ascribed "striped sunlight sound". The duo of McLennan and Forster ranks alongside the best of the best songwriting partnerships, influencing younger musicians both expected (such as Belle & Sebastian who reference the group on "Shoot The Sexual Athlete") and unexpected (as with the late, great Jay Reatard's fiery cover of "Don't Let Him Come Back"). This anthology is sure to provide inspiration to a new generation of musicians while providing a very special personal experience for the existing fans.

Jon Hopkins | 25/09/14
Following a sold out, euphoric performance at The Royal Festival Hall last Friday, Jon Hopkins can announce the release of a 4 track EP, entitled Asleep Versions, on 10th November 2014.
Asleep Versions was recorded at Sundlaugin Studios, near Reykjavik, in February of this year. Intended to be heard as one single 25 minute piece, it is composed of four decelerated, dreamlike re-imaginings of tracks from the Mercury-nominated
Immunity. Representing the quieter, more meditative side of the album, these new explorations take its hypnotic, transcendent qualities to a far deeper level. At times almost painfully beautiful, the EP contains a new, semi-acoustic re-interpretation of album track Form By Firelight, featuring additional vocals from the Braids and Blue Hawaii lead vocalist, Raphaelle Standell.
Watch an animated trailer for the EP, designed and directed by Robert Hunter.
Asleep Versions will be available on 12" (RUG622T), CD (RUG622CD) & Digital(RUG622D). The tracklisting is as follows:
- Immunity (with King Creosote)
- Form By Firelight (With Raphaelle Standell)
- Breathe This Air (Asleep Version)
- Open Eye Signal (Asleep Version)
A Limited Edition Double CD featuring Immunity and Asleep Versions EP will also be available from 10th November. Pre-order it HERE. The tracklisting is as follows:
DISC 1 – Immunity DISC 2 – Asleep Versions

Curated by Robert together with Domino and biographer Marcus O'Dair, the double album features disk 1 'Ex Machina', the ideal introduction for the Wyatt novice, compiling tracks from Robert's entire career to date and acting as a companion to O'Dair's new biography , also titled 'Different Every Time' (released by Serpent's Tail on the 30th of October).

Anna Calvi | 11/09/14
We are very pleased to announce that Anna Calvi has been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for her critically acclaimed second album, One Breath. Anna's eponymous debut album also picked up a nomination for the coveted prize in 2011.
Produced by John Congleton in Blackbox Studios, France and mixed in Dallas, Texas, USA, One Breath was written in a year and recorded over a few intense weeks. One Breath is a more personal record than its predecessor. Reflective and vulnerable, it strikes a balance between optimism and despair, beauty and ugliness. The fiery elements of Anna's debut remain, but One Breath is more instinctive and urgent, revealing a wider spectrum of textures and emotion.
Following standout performances at Isle Of Wight, Glastonbury, Latitude and Green Man, Anna Calvi has been invited to support Morrissey for a string of his UK and European dates, including a show at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday 29th November. Full dates with ticket links are as follows:
Strange Weather, a 5 track covers EP is also available to purchase HERE. Featuring covers of Suicide, David Bowie, Connan Mockasin and fellow Mercury-nominee, FKA twigs, the EP also includes a stunning collaboration with David Byrne on the title track, a cover of Keren Ann's 'Strange Weather'.
Listen to Anna Calvi's deconstructed organic reworking of FKA twigs' 'Papi Pacify', HERE.
James Yorkston | 10/09/14
'Feathers Are Falling' is lifted from James' critically acclaimed eighth studio album, The Cellardyke And Wassailing Society, out now through Domino. The single will be released on October 27th.
CRAWS finds the Scotsman opening his studio doors to a broad and brilliant selection of players, with the production chair helmed by Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor. Long-term collaborators Jon Thorne and Emma Smith were joined by KT Tunstall, The Pictish Trail, Fimber Bravo, and Rob Smoughton.
Feathers Are Falling is Yorkston at his most hushed and reverential, with the cracked opening line, "I am feeling very mortal now" by way of an introduction. It builds and blossoms with Yorkston's collection of exquisite musicians aiding and abetting the song's seamless ebb and flow.
Later this month James heads out on a hefty tour of the UK and Ireland. Tickets for all dates are on sale now through www.jamesyorkston.co.uk

King Creosote | 20/08/14
Something To Believe In will be released as the new single from King Creosote on 20th October 2014. The track is the elegiac album opener from From Scotland With Love, which critics described as 'a lovingly crafted thing' (Independent on Sunday), 'consistently superb' (Loud & Quiet – 9/10) and 'a beautiful thing, flitting between affecting, inspiring, amusing and enchanting' (Time Out – 4* lead review).
King Creosote can also announce a show at London's Union Chapel on 3rd February 2015. Kenny will be accompanied by a six-piece band for what promises to be a very special night. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased HERE. Both the matinee and evening shows on Saturday 27th September at London's Barbican venue, Milton Court, are now sold out.
From Scotland With Love was created in collaboration with director Virginia Heath and Producer Grant Keir as an audio-accompaniment to a poetic documentary film of the same name, which was commissioned for the Commonwealth Games. Featuring archive footage but no narration or interview, the film works around themes of love and loss, war, resistance, emigration, work and play, and is driven as much by the music as it is the images. For the first time King Creosote found himself being able to write from other people's perspectives. The result is From Scotland With Love, one of King Creosote's most widescreen cinematic and finest pieces of work to date. From Scotland With Love is available now through Dom Mart, and iTunes, with an extended version available HERE.

Austra | 06/08/14
Following on from videos for EP tracks 'Habitat' and 'Hulluu', Austra are pleased to share a video for 'Doepfer'. Directed by Adrienne Crossman and filmed in various locations around Toronto, the 'Doepfer' video premiered with THUMP today and can be viewed here.
Made up of footage taken in Toronto and Berlin, the video for Austra's Doepfer acts as a disruptive visual meditation on the third released track from their Habitat EP. Accompanying the percussive-heavy dark synth soundtrack, the visual landscape of the video is made up of eerie footage of dark hallways, a dead mouse, silhouetted figures and mysterious textured surfaces, including a pixelated close up of billowing tin foil. As the music intensifies so do the visuals, with an increased frequency of anamorphic glitched disruption. Shot, edited and co-directed (with drummer Maya Postepski) by Adrienne Crossman, the video for Doepfer is a glance into the distorted intricacies of the band's increasingly experimental musical nature.
Toronto-based Austra's Habitat, a four-track EP, is out now on Domino. Order the limited-edition hand-numbered 12" here from Austra or download from iTunes.

Franz Ferdinand | 04/08/14
Franz Ferdinand have revealed the new video to their new single, Stand On The Horizon , which is released through Domino.
Directed by Karan Kandhari , the director of the award winning film Bye Bye Miss Goodnight and more recently The Vaccines Melody Calling video, the stunningly shot video is based around a live performance in an old-fashioned club. Kandhari said of the video:
An awkward look at innocence and experience. An attempt to capture a sparkle in the melancholy and a warmth in the strangeness. I hope people find it both sad and funny / hopeful and human. We either achieved all of this, or totally failed and ended up with an alternative universe version of Franz Ferdinand.
Taken from their much acclaimed fourth album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the song is inspired by Alex's time in Sunderland as a child, mentioning both the local Marsden Rock and South Shields Metro station.
This summer has already seen the band play a rapturous show at T in the Park, perform as part of this year's Somerset House series in London and headline Fuji Rock in Japan. Currently playing festivals across Europe, the band head to South America for a run of shows in September.

Onstage, the ferocity of White Lung comes to life.

Eugene McGuinness | 24/07/14
Eugene McGuinness has announced details of the release of a new single. The Crueler Kind will be released on Domino Records on Monday September 15th 2014.
The single is taken from his recent album, Chroma, which was released in July.
Recorded and produced by Dan Carey at his South London studio as part of the album sessions, the single features arguably one of the best rhythm sections in the UK, Tom and Leo from The Invisible.
Chroma, his Eugene's album, following his self-titled debut in 2008, Glue (2009) and The Invitation To The Voyage (2012) treads a much more Spontaneous, stripped-back and raw path, perfectly showcasing his songwriting talent.
The Amazing Snakeheads | 23/07/14

The band's debut album, Amphetamine Ballads, which saw its UK release in April, was featured on Pitchfork as their Advance Stream last week to coincide with the US release of the album.

Blood Orange | 09/07/14
Devonté Hynes – aka Blood Orange – released his sophomore album Cupid Deluxe to critical acclaim last year. Today, he releases a new music video for Cupid Deluxe's grime-inspired track, "High Street" featuring British rapper, Skepta. Click HERE to watch the video exclusively via ssense.com.
Subsequent to the release of Cupid Deluxe, Hynes has quickly established himself as one of the most prolific musicians, songwriters, and producers in contemporary music: Cupid Deluxe earned recognition from both NPR Music and Pitchfork in their Top 50 Albums of the Year compilations. Known as "2014's answer to Lou Reed" according to GQ, 2014 has undoubtedly been the year of Devonté Hynes.
Blood Orange's partnership with SSENSE is part of the international online retailer's series of bi-weekly music-based videos, a project that has seen collaborations between established artists and creatives from every corner of the industry. So far, SSENSE has premiered videos for artists like Sky Ferreira, Hercules & Love Affair, and Henry Krinkle. In their most recent release, Maryam L'Ange directed Chloë Sevigny in a noir-inspired fashion film featuring music by electronica three-piece, Eaux. Every video allows viewers to shop the fashion featured on screen, while Blood Orange and Skepta's "High Street" offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming Fall season.
Cupid Deluxe is available for download via iTunes here, and you can order a physical copy of the release via Dom Mart, here. Blood Orange will also be completing his summer festival tour at events like at Lollapalooza in the US and Way Out West in Sweden, and will be headlining Central Park Summerstage in NYC in August.
Watch the video for "High Street" on SSENSE here.
Blood Orange live dates:
30/07/14 Toronto, ON - Danforth Music Hall
01/08/14 Chicago, IL - Lollapalooza
7-9/08/14 Sweden, Gothenburg, Way Out West Festival

24/08/14 Los Angeles, CA - FYF Fest
White Lung | 08/07/14
Fresh from touring Australia and New Zealand, White Lung are poised to release new single 'In Your Home' on August 25th before tearing up North America with a string of live dates once again. Mish Way explains the video:
"This video was created by Justin Gradin and Ben Jacques. Justin has done all our album art since our first LP so 'In Your Home' is funny, demented and uncomfortable, it's perfect. The star of the video is my dear friend Christina Kenton who pushes the baby cart and smiles at the end. She's an incredible artist herself. This video is filled with people way more talented than the four of us."
Watch the new video for 'In Your Home' below.
Deep Fantasy is their third full length and proves White Lung to be every bit as confrontational as before, but it appears that Vancouver's hard hitting rock n' roll outfit have opened their sound up just enough to draw listeners in:
"I wanted it to sound more like a rock record than a punk record. I didn't want to lose any of the speed and aggression that we have, but I wanted more melodies," says Way, "But it's still a really hard record."
Way is more provocative and melodic than ever on Deep Fantasy, lyrically surveying addiction ("Drown With the Monster"), body dysmorphia ("Snake Jaw") and sexual dynamics ("Down It Goes,") amongst other dinner table topics. Guitarist Kenneth William, a devotee of Johnny Marr "plays with the speed of an 80s hardcore dude" whirled in Anne-Marie Vassiliou's relentless and seemingly effortless approach to drumming.
Mish compiled a playlist: 'Songs That Inspired Deep Fantasy', listen HERE

Austra | 03/07/14
Toronto-based Austra have shared a video for Hulluu, directed by Zeesy Powers and featuring choreography and dancing from Emily Law.
Hulluu is the last track on Habitat, a brand-new four-track EP which is out now. Order the limited-edition hand-numbered 12" here from Austra or download from iTunes.
Katie Stelmanis from Austra said the following about the video:
'I knew that I wanted the video for Hulluu to focus on movement. I've known Emily since I was 12 and she is the best dancer/waacker in Toronto so I definitely wanted her to be a part of it. Zeesy is a super-talented artist who I used to live with and collaborate with all the time making soundtracks for her performance art pieces (and who was actually the one to encourage me to start performing my own music in the first place). I thought it would be cool to work together again. We used a green screen and filmed Emily dancing to the track for about 4 hours.
In director Powers' words: "The spirit self is unleashed in the nightclub in your mind. The beat hits and time stops, speeds up, slows down. On the dance floor do you compete with others or only yourself? True freedom fills the body with what we have been, are, and could be. Shedding psychic bodies reveals the person always there. Move."
The band recently completed US west coast dates with Chvrches after having performed at Coachella and Sasquatch and have upcoming festivals in Canada and Europe including a show at Oval Space in London on 10th July. The band has also announced North American dates supporting Broken Bells. Full dates are below.
"'Habitat' is an old song that we've waited almost three years to release," says the band's Katie Stelmanis. "It didn't seem to fit with the sounds of Feel it Break or Olympia, so we decided to finally put it out as a single along with 3 new instrumental tracks.There's a lot of live versions of the song online but people have always pressed us to make a proper recording, so we are especially excited to announce these limited-edition physical copies of the EP. It's a euro-style computer music experiment produced with love from me, Maya, and Dorian."

Hailing from Cologne/Köln, Germany, Michaela Dippel has been making excellent minimalist house under the Ada moniker for over a decade. Her last album, MeineZarten Pfoten, was released in 2011 on Pampa Records and comes highly recommended.
Andrew Morrison has released two albums of bracing retro electronics as The Cyclist, including last year's Bones In Motion on Leaving/Stones Throw. This is his first remix since last year's excellent revision of George Fitzgerald's "I Can Tell By Way You Move".
Lastly but not leastly, this remix package features one of the last works of the late Footwork pioneer DJ Rashad (born Anthony Harden) who passed away on April 26th from complications from a blood clot. The remix also features the work of his longtime collaborator, DJ Spinn, who was prominent on Rashad's landmark 2013 album, Double Cup (Hyperdub).
In Conflict is Owen Pallett's fourth album and the second under his own name after releases as Final Fantasy.
Time Out London calls In Conflict "a heady, beautiful and captivating album that demands and deserves your full attention and it won't be bettered by much else this year". It is available digitally (WIG304D), on CD (WIGCD304), standard edition LP (WIGLP304) and on limited edition double LP (with 3 bonus tracks) (WIGLP304X) through Dom Mart.

Austra | 19/06/14
Toronto-based Austra's Habitat, a brand-new four-track EP, is out this week. Order the limited-edition hand-numbered 12" here from Austra or download from iTunes.
Watch the Matt Lambert-directed video of the EP's title track below. Director Lambert says the video "explores the fragile and tender moments of anxiety and anticipation that lead up to first intimate contact".
Stream/embed the entire Habitat EP and read a recent Q&A with Austra's Katie Stelmanis at Rookie Magazine here.
The band recently completed US west coast dates with Chvrches after having performed at Coachella and Sasquatch and have upcoming festivals in Canada and Europe including a show at Oval Space in London on 10th July. More North American dates will be announced soon.
"'Habitat' is an old song that we've waited almost three years to release," says the band's Katie Stelmanis. "It didn't seem to fit with the sounds of Feel it Break or Olympia, so we decided to finally put it out as a single along with 3 new instrumental tracks.There's a lot of live versions of the song online but people have always pressed us to make a proper recording, so we are especially excited to announce these limited-edition physical copies of the EP. It's a euro-style computer music experiment produced with love from me, Maya, and Dorian."

Wild Beasts | 19/06/14
Wild Beasts are to release Mecca as the third single from their much applauded album, Present Tense, on August 4th 2014. The accompanying video was directed by Kate Moross.
Alongside its breathtaking leap in production (Wild Beasts worked in close collaboration with co-producers Lexxx and Brian Eno protégé Leo Abrahams), Present Tense finds the band at the peak of their considerable songwriting powers – each one of the album's eleven tracks illuminating the precious, tender, sad and funny moments of modern life in their trademark plain-spoken poetics. The album is available to buy now from Dom Mart and iTunes.
Wild Beasts are currently on tour in Europe and will be back to the UK to perform at Glastonbury on the John Peel Stage.

Sat 27 Sep 2014 UK LONDON MILTON COURT - MATINEE SHOW @ 4PM (live to a screening of the film)

Sat 11 Oct 2014 UK LEEDS HOWARD ASSEMBLY ROOM
Sun 12 Oct 2014 UK NANTWICH WORDS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Composed of eleven stunning and emotive tracks, From Scotland With Love was written by King Creosote and produced by music supervisor and guitarist David McAulay, with additional production by Paul Savage, in Chem19 Studios in Glasgow. The record features King Creosote accompanied by his band – Derek O'Neill (keyboards), Andy Robinson (drums), Pete Mcleod (bass), and Kevin Brolly (clarinet) – as well as an additional string section (arranged by cellist Pete Harvey), and a choir of backing vocalists. For One Night Only (RUG608D) will be released as the first single from the album, and both single and album will be available on 21st July 2014. Watch the accompanying video, extracted from the film, From Scotland With Love.
From Scotland With Love was created in collaboration with director Virginia Heath and Producer Grant Keir as an audio-accompaniment to a poetic documentary film of the same name, to be released for the Commonwealth Games this summer. Featuring archive footage but no narration or interview, the film works around themes of love and loss, war, resistance, emigration, work and play, and is driven as much by the music as it is the images. For the first time King Creosote found himself being able to write from other people's perspectives, such as the female characters found in the archive (the 'fisher lassies' inspired the moving track Cargill, for example). The result is From Scotland With Love, one of King Creosote's most widescreen cinematic and finest pieces of work to date.
From Scotland With Love will be released on CD (WIGCD338), heavyweight vinyl LP with download codes (WIGLP338) and Digital (WIG338D). An extended version of the album encompassing all the music from the film will be available on heavyweight double gatefold vinyl LP (WIGLP338X) with 8 bonus tracks, Favourite Girl, Melt, Marie Celeste, Carry On Dancing, Hair of the Dawn, Return Ticket, 678, Bringing in the Bales. Pre-order the album through Dom Mart, HERE. The standard edition is available through iTunes, HERE and the Extended Edition, HERE.
BBC 2 Scotland will screen the film, From Scotland With Love, on the 22nd June at 10pm.

Bob Moses | 16/06/14
Having first formed in Brooklyn in 2012, Canadian production duo Bob Moses - comprised of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance - have recently signed to Domino and are releasing 'First To Cry' today.
The rising stars of the underground electronic world's two-track 12" bundle, 'I Ain't Gonna Be The First To Cry' and 'Grace,' is now available for digital purchase.
The band's lead single, 'I Ain't Gonna Be The First To Cry,' premiered in late May and "is a dark and hazy eclectic mix of blues and electronic with heartfelt vocals" (Combo Rice) who's "retained arrangement… seems to wring out the emotion of each note" (Clash Music). The track "has a soul of a blues song... with guitar work riding along with the pulse of the beat, the track builds with dark undertones and restraint toward an understated breaking point" (Pigeons & Planes).
For their AA-side track, 'Grace,' Bob Moses also released an audio-visual clip.
Currently, the duo is in the midst of a worldwide tour, having already made stops in Paris, Berlin, Ibiza, London, Istanbul and Moscow. They are headed west to North America next week, with a first stop at Brooklyn's Output on June 20th, where they will debut brand new tracks. The band will then continue on to Miami, Philadelphia, Michigan, Chicago, Toronto and Atlanta.
'First To Cry' is now available as a limited edition silk-screened 12" vinyl from Domino and digitally via iTunes, Spotify and Beatport.
20/06 – Output – Brooklyn, NY, USA
21/06 – The Garret – Miami, FL, USA

Jon Hopkins | 16/06/14
Jon Hopkins has shared a new video for his forthcoming single, We Disappear feat. Lulu James, which was directed by Rob Chiu and stars Lulu James.
We Disappear feat. Lulu James - a collaborative reworking of the opening track from the Mercury-nominated, Immunity - will be available on 12" (RUG595T – pre-order HERE from Dom Mart) and Digital (RUG595D) from 30th June 2014, b/w a remix of Abandon Window by Moderat. You can purchase the one track digitally now through iTunes (RUG595D1).
A fan of Hopkins' work, and known for her beautifully emotive, atmospheric vocals, it seemed right for rising star, Lulu James, to contribute vocals to We Disappear. The pair met when performing at Unknown Festival in Croatia, then soon after put down vocals at Hopkins' London studio. He then built a new version of the track around James' contributions, and the result is much sparser, and almost Lynchian - darkly atmospheric, pulsing and retaining the urgency of the original, but adding new depth with James' stunningly soulful vocal performance.
Following Jon Hopkins' extraordinary live performances at The Great Escape, Field Day, Parklife and Sonar, he has just announced a one-off live audio-visual show at The Royal Festival Hall on Friday 19th September. Hopkins will perform new explorations of tracks from Immunity alongside music from his three film scores and other collaborations, and will be joined by long-term collaborator, guitarist and noise-maker Leo Abrahams and experimental string section Geese for a new show backed by visuals from Flat-e and Dan Tombs. Hopkins will also be performing at this year's Glastonbury and Festival Number 6. Full live dates are as follows, with UK & Irish dates in bold:

Franz Ferdinand release a new single, Stand On The Horizon on Monday July 28th 2014.
Taken from their much acclaimed fourth album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the single, available digitally, features the Tom Furse (The Horrors) Extrapolation mix, the Todd Terje Extended mix and a cover of the track by Frankie & The Heartstrings – the band recently played an in-store show at the Pop Recs Ltd in Sunderland, a record shop run by Frankie & The Heartstrings.
The song is inspired by Alex's time in Sunderland as a child, mentioning both the local Marsden Rock and South Shields Metro station.
"Ach, it's one of those optimistic pessimist's songs - as the North Sea sings "Come to me! Throw yourself to me!" all you can imagine is stepping across the horizon into a golden future while Marsden Rock collapses under the waves." – Alex Kapranos
Listen to the Tom Furse Extrapolation mix of Stand On The Horizon here.
Additionally, they recently completed an extensive U.K. tour in March, featuring two sold out shows at London's Roundhouse and appeared at the inaugural 6 Music Festival in Manchester.

Cooks at Michael Anthony's Pizza kick out authentic Italian favorites such as chicken, veal, and seafood dishes as well as pasta and pizza. Breaded cutlets of chicken or veal parmigiana overflow with layers of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, while the broiled shrimp oregenata comes dressed in rich helpings of garlic and lemon. Pastas such as penne, rigatoni, and six-cheese pasta purses are prepared with sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto, and vegetables tossed in cream sauces or baked with sausage and peppers. The kitchen also kicks out pizzas, including a gluten-free variety, as well as American dishes such as chicken cordon bleu and NY strip steaks. On Friday nights, guests can enjoy live entertainment while they dine.
For four decades, Benkert's Classic Delicatessen has been loading patrons with ample portions from a menu of breakfast eats, salads, sandwiches, and hot-lunch dishes. Customers can jump start their day with two eggs any style ($2.50) while gulping complimentary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and surfing the free WiFi on a free wireless surfboard. For midday breaks, specialty salad sandwiches cover beds of bread in quilts of egg ($4.25) and shrimp ($6.25) salad. Gourmet wraps and sandwiches ($6.95) include the Fat Tony, packed with six cold cuts, mozzarella, peppers, greens, and vinaigrette, and protected by a hero bun toasted for its noble deeds. Hot sandwiches such as the barbecue chicken ($5.75) are hearty enough to scare away the most intimidating hunger hauntings. Accessorize entrees with sides of mac 'n' cheese ($4.99/lb.) or mozzarella sticks ($3.99), and cross the finish line with a sweet slice of pound cake ($1.95).
The chefs at Johnny's Burgers don't take any shortcuts when preparing their classic American fare. Instead, they start with fresh Angus beef patties that have never been frozen, and layer them with toppings, sauces, and cheeses. The chefs show off their flavor-pairing skills with creative Burger of the Month specials?past specials have included the Reuben burger topped with pastrami, sauerkraut, a fried egg, and chipotle mayo, and a new twist on the Juicy Lucy, a patty stuffed with four different cheeses and loaded with bacon and fried julienne sweet potatoes. All the burgers pair perfectly with fresh-cut Idaho fries cooked to a golden crisp, and if you leave room for dessert, you can choose from fried Oreos and milkshakes blended with a choice of candy. For the non-burger-lover, the shop also serves sauce-slathered wings, and hot dogs served in the New York or Chicago styles.
Though Bud's Ale House lives up to its name—its locations boast up to 80 beer taps, more than 16 bottled varieties, and up to 60 televisions—this versatile eatery has something for everyone. As tasty brews pour from taps, including a daily special of $2 Bud and Bud Light drafts, bartenders deftly mix up top-shelf margaritas, colorful martinis, and classic cocktails. These adult libations wash down a hearty menu that spans the entire spectrum of American cuisine: habanero barbecue wings, steamed local clams, and meaty burgers are served up daily alongside gooey quesadillas and German-style bratwurst. Bud's desserts threaten to steal the spotlight, capping feasts with deep-fried Oreos and tangy key lime pie.
At Lucky Oriental, guests dine on a smorgasbord of Chinese and Japanese dishes, from savory spare ribs and spicy Hunan chicken to shrimp lo mein. In addition to these heartier entrees, patrons can also dine on more than 20 different maki rolls or sample morsels of sashimi-style tuna and surf clam from the ? la carte sushi menu.
For 25 years, Long Island's crew has made bagels using an old-fashioned water-kettle approach, purveying the doughy treats well beyond their breakfast boundaries. A menu of breakfast edibles urges early eaters to slather an assortment of hand-rolled, freshly baked bagels ($0.90)—in varieties including poppy, onion, cinnamon raisin, and oat bran—with their choice of up to 17 creamy toppers ($1.75+) including vegetable, chocolate chip, and roasted garlic and herb. Coffee ($1.45+/12 oz.) gives nerves the jolt that early-morning fire breathing fails to provide, and french toast lightens spirits when drizzled in streams of liquefied giggles ($5.50). Lunch options allow midday munchers to fill their food processors with dishes including the Bubbalicious ($6.79)—made with fried chicken cutlets, melted mozzarella, bacon, and spicy barbecue sauce, all piled on top of a bagel—or the more heart-heartening bagel-embedded tuna fresco salad ($6.49).

An illuminated Check Engine Light could be caused by a defective VVT-i controller, which changes cam timing for optimal power. Updated parts are available and the repair may be covered under the powertrain warranty.
Google+Car Problem Reports
Scion xA Check Engine Light Due to Defective VVT-i Controller
Scion xA Problem
Model Years Affected: 2005, 2006
Average Mileage: 92,062 mi (27,777 mi - 212,000 mi)
The light actually came on when my car had about 7500 miles on it, the car now has more than 212,000 thousand miles and never really have any performance problem. On or about the same time that the CEL came on, the ABS and brake light also came on. I haven't taken the car to any mechanic and other than those lights constantly on while driving the car, I haven't had any performance problem.

Car was running great. Fresh Platinum plugs/K/N filter getting 36-39MPG. Check engine light came on, I noticed some loss of power and spark knock on light acceleration that the engine never had before. I took it and had the ECM read it was showing a P0012 code "A bank timing advanced". VVC was one of the possible problems and the most likely due to the symptoms. After the ECM was read the check engine light still was on as I assume it was a hard code that cannot be erased until the problem was fixed. I drove it down to the next shopping plaza to a store. When I restarted the car the check engine light went out and the engine ran perfect again with absolutley no spark knock/loss power. Seems like a very intermittent VVT controller problem. I'm not sure if the VVC is a individual module that controls the valves or if it strictly a software issue in the ECM engine management program. Unless Scion replaces an actual physical part they should'nt be charging $900 for a software glitch patch.

I had the check engine ligh coming on and off for 4 years (When I purchased the car, 2 weeks after I was re-ended at 50 mph while stopped at a redlight-. It was throwing check engine light on, I found out it was the gas cap not seating correctly. The light continued to come one and I had it check again recently. Paid 1200.00 bucks to replace timing gear, now the light stays on, absolutely no performance problems. Mechanics are very cool and going to take additional look at it, plus offered me a vehicle to drive. This website and message board confirms what I thought, there is a malfunction with the light and computer more than the part. Like I said 212,000 miles. This car is the best car I ever owned, only oil changes, tuneups, tires, and replaced the brakes once. Glad I bought it.

Check engine light on and off erratically for a couple weeks. Also exhaust smell in car interior when heat is on. Dealer diagnosed defective timing gear. Said it's a known issue and often presents when car is still under powertrain warranty. No such luck in my case and cost to repair is $825. see http://tijil.org/Scion_TSBs/eg00307.pdf
Dealer said I don't have to fix it right away; it won't damage anything, but it will not pass annual NH state inspection until it's fixed. I have five months til that's due so I hope I can find a cheaper price before then - and don't die from the exhaust smell in the meantime.

The Children and Technology Lab, headed by Nicola Yuill, is part of the Developmental and Clinical Psychology Group.
We are interested in how technology can be used to understand and support children working and playing together, at school and at home, in typical and atypical development, with peers, with parents and with teachers.
An underlying theme of our work is the role of social interaction and collaboration in learning and development. How do interactions between peers support learning? How do parents scaffold children's learning at home? What role do teachers play in developing mastery and independence in children's approaches to learning? And how might technology be used creatively and innovatively to support these interactions?

Congratulations to our Nuffield bursary student, Kane Steggles, whose paper on language alignment was accepted for the finals of the National Science and Engineering Competition.
Research from the ChatLab showing how technology engages children's attention and makes them more co-operative is discussed in the article in the Standard Supertask me: is the digital world turning kids into junkies or making them smarter?, A fuller version is found in the December edition of Wired.
Our two recent public information sessions were very successful, with record numbers and many messages of appreciation: the BPS Wessex branch Digital Bubbles event, on autism and technology, and the TERENCE project dissemination event including a talk from Nicola Yuill on how to support children's reading comprehension.

I was recently contacted by Luca Cominelli, editor of an Italian magazine about cigars, CigarsLover. They are at their 6th issue now and the current issue has been translated into English. I checked out the magazine and I can say that CigarsLover's team is doing a great job - there's a lot of interesting content. You will find below an article from this issue about cigar bands, written by Paolo Topa. You can download the full issue here.
The band represents an iconic image for the contemporary smoker, influenced by different factors including the marketing operations of a brand and their need to distinguish themselves from others.
In the past, cigars didn't have this accessory. They were just packed with the origin label. In 1830, Gustave Bock, head of a Cuban cigar firm, came up with the revolutionary idea to introduce a recognition system for cigars, in order to avoid counterfeiting when exported to the European continent. His idea was simple and very close to our modern copyright: put a paper band with his signature on each cigar so that no one could steal his work. From that moment on, the band became a necessary element to distinguish one cigar from another. Some people believe the band has a second, more practical, aim: protecting smokers' gloves. In this context we can compare the band with the "Smoking" – born as a smoking jacket aimed to preserve gentlemen's clothing.

Published by Harper & Row, the novel was the basis of a highly successful film adaption released two years later, whose screenplay was also written by Blatty.
