Laurie Anderson at Prospect Park in June (more by Greg Cristman)
Some weird stuff happened to Laurie Anderson over the weekend while she was undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The art pop great/wife of the late Lou Reed found herself trapped in an oxygen chamber at a spa in Chelsea. The NY Daily News reports:
The 67-year-old Anderson became trapped inside the oxygen-filled device when the chamber's zipper got stuck, sources said.The spa's owner said she was inside the chamber for about 45 minutes and that she likely fell asleep and became disoriented when she woke up. There was a miscommunication on the timing," he said.The panicked performer texted a friend from inside, saying she was experiencing shortness of breath and couldn't escape, sources said.
Anderson's unidentified friend received the SOS and dialed 911 shortly after 9 a.m. The FDNY quickly sent a crew to her aid.
By the time firefighters reached the scene, Anderson had managed to liberate herself from the chamber, the sources indicated.

Ornette Coleman / Laurie Anderson / Flea
The 2014 Celebrate Brooklyn! season continued with another free show in Prospect Park this past Thursday (6/12), a tribute to pioneering free jazz great Ornette Coleman (also part of Blue Note Jazz Fest). A large handful of musicians from many genres appeared on stage to pay tribute to Ornette, including Red Hot Chili Peppers/Atoms for Peace/Antemasque bassist Flea, joined separately by two jazz veterans Henry Threadgill and David Murray. Punk legend Patti Smith appeared with her daughter Jesse and bandmate Tony Shanahan. Laurie Anderson was joined by past collaborators/NYC avant-garde lifers Bill Laswell and John Zorn for a performance that was also partly in honor of her late husband Lou Reed. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore performed a duo set with guitar great Nels Cline (Wilco, Lee Ranaldo's band, etc), and still so many other guests performed including Geri Allen, Joe Lovano, Savion Glover, Bruce Hornsby, Branford Marsalis, Ravi Coltrane, James Blood and more.
Thurston Moore & Nels Cline
One very special guest of the night was Ornette Coleman himself, who wasn't billed as a performer but but spent a good deal of the show on stage, often chiming in. The New York Times writes:
Again, Mr. Coleman played: a significant fact and an increasingly rare occasion in the last several years. This was billed as a concert for him, not by him; it was not clear whether he would play a note until showtime. But he sat in a chair onstage for most of the concert's first half, either with an alto saxophone in his lap, or taking part as if he were playing along with nature, joining when he wanted to and how he wanted to.Pictures of the show are in this post. They continue, with the setlist a video from Patti Smith's performance, below...The concert was organized by Mr. Coleman's son, Denardo, who was also the bandleader, as a program of Coleman compositions, except for a couple of free improvisations. But Mr. Coleman wasn't there to play Ornette Coleman compositions. He was just there to play, and he started from soft and lovely unaccompanied lines, like some precursor to blues language.

Bill Laswell performing with Bladerunner
The Ohm Resistance Label Showcase to be held at Brooklyn club Saint Vitus on May 31 has taken shape and it's just as wild as you'd expect from the Brooklyn-based avant-garde label. The Blood of Heroes with Bill Laswell will be making their live debut. They're joined by Silent Killer, Invertia, SHVLFCE, and Katmai. Advanced tickets are available now.
The Blood of Heroes are an experimental troupe bringing together the talents of Bill Laswell, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu), beatmakers Submerged and Enduser, and Dr. Israel behind the mic. The result is a synthesis of the players' day jobs: drum n' bass, jungle, dub, industrial metal, and ambient. It can also be none of those things. Their eponymous debut was released by Ohm Resistance in 2010. (It also received a full set of remixes that same year.) A follow-up, The Waking Nightmare, came out via Ohm in 2012 and featured contributions from Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu) and a guest spot from Tompa (At the Gates, Disfear), among a varied collection of others.
For this particular event, the Blood of Heroes lineup will be as follows: Laswell, Dr. Israel, Submerged, Jason Selden (Apparatus), Matt Labozza (A Storm of Light), and haZMat, including guests. Laswell certainly has the connections to make the "guest" part interesting. He just played Le Poisson Rouge on May 4 with John Zorn and Dave Lombardo under the Bladerunner moniker (a few pictures from that event in this post). Justin Broadrick, on the other hand, won't be available thanks to Godflesh being back in business. The influential industrial metal duo recently released a new song, "Ringer," following a 13 year studio break. They'll be touring with Loop in the UK, starting in Glasgow on June 2.
While Broadrick's creative spirit will be missed, the Blood of Heroes' eclectic approach runs throughout the entire bill. Silent Killer construct atmospheric rich drum n' bass, Invertia twist black metal, noise, and industrial together, SHVLFCE do rhythmically inventive IDM, and Katmai play blissed-out electronic pop with an ambient whoosh. They also do none of these things. Needless to say, should be a crazy night.
Bill Laswell will also take part in the Ornette Coleman tribute in Prospect Park in June, which now features Laurie Anderson and David Murray, in addition to Bill Laswell, Bruce Hornsby, Flea, Geri Allen, Henry Threadgill, James Blood Ulmer, Patti Smith, and more.
Ohm Resistance showcase details, along with streams of the entire lineup and two more pics from the Bladerunner gig appear below.
Laurie Anderson at The Stone in 2011 (more by David Andrako)
The Celebrate Brooklyn! 2014 lineup was announced not long ago, and since then there's been a few updates.
The Ornette Coleman tribute on June 12 now features Laurie Anderson and David Murray, joining the previously announced lineup of Flea, Patti Smith and many more. Unfortunately, Afrika Bambaataa dropped off.
The Ezra Jack Keats Family Concert on June 14 will now feature a reading by Park Slope's own Mark Stewart (co-founder, Bang on a Can All-Stars) of one of Ezra's books before the concert.
And the Nickel Creek show on July 24 will now be opened by Secret Sisters.
All three of those shows, and many other Celebrate Brooklyn! shows at Prospect Park this summer, including Dum Dum GIrls, Warpaint, Deltron 3030, St. Vincent and more, are totally free to the public.
Contemporary composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass have announced that they'll perform together for the first time in over 30 years, as the kickoff event for "Nonesuch Records at BAM", the label's 50th anniversary going down this September.
"Nonesuch Records at BAM" also includes an event with Devendra Banhart, Stephin Merritt (who's involved in another BAM event happening sooner), and Iron & Wine; one with Natalie Merchant and Sam Amidon; another with Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet; two nights of Robert Plant and more. Full schedule below.
Members can get early access to tickets starting May 21, and they'll become available to the general public BAM's site on May 28.
The Steve Reich/Philip Glass event is also part of the 2014 Next Wave Festival. Still not many details on that, but we do know Bryce Dessner and Brooklyn Youth Chorus are performing. Members can get tickets to Next Wave starting June 16, and the general public starting June 23.
Full "Nonesuch Records at BAM" schedule below...
NYC noise cellist Okkyung Lee is about to kick off a residency at East Village avant-garde artists' space The Stone, which runs from May 6 to 11.

Jenny Hval also tours with Swans this month, including two NYC shows -- 5/18 at Bowery Ballroom & 5/19 at MHOW. Bowery is sold out but tickets for MHOW are still available.
Okkyung Lee's Stone residency schedule and some videos below...
The Knife / These New Puritans
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Craig Leon, Acme, Bil Kouligas @ Le Poisson Rouge
Best known as a producer (have worked with The Fall, The Go-Betweens, Blondie among others), Craig Leon is also an composer in his own right. Tonight, backed by the Wordless Orchestra, he'll be performing his 1981 album Nommos.
Saint Rich, Stargazy, Sun Club @ Baby's All Right
An offshoot of Delicate Steve (role-reversal is probably a more correct term), Saint Rich keep things greasy with their brand of boogie riffs and laid-back grooves.
These New Puritans @ Bowery Ballroom
Last year's acclaimed Field of Reeds found These New Puritans abandoning their aggressive side, taking them entirely into ambient directions. Tonight's one of just a few North American shows for the UK band. Could prove interesting.
Darkstar, Patten, Visuals @ Glasslands
Darkstar transitioned from a Hyperdub-signed post-dubstep trio on their debut LP North to a Warp-signed ambient pop trio on its followup, 2013's News From Nowhere. They're working on their third album now, and while we don't know what it sounds like yet, maybe we'll get a taste at Glasslands tonight. Their labelmate Patten is not to be missed either.
Slint, Spires That in the Sunset Rise @ Stone Pony
Slint only put out two albums -- 1989's Steve Albini-produced Tweez and 1991's legendary Spiderland -- but their brand of post-rock and post-hardcore has proved to be highly influential over time and it's lived up very well. They're currently on their first North American tour since last reuniting in 2007, and tonight they're in NJ ahead of 3 NYC shows.
The Knife @ Terminal 5
Sweden's enigmatic duo The Knife haven't played NYC since 2006. Their new album is a little more "difficult" than Silent Shout so who knows what to expect -- beyond a high-concept, highly theatrical stage show. It wont likely be boring. Both T5 shows -- this being the first -- are sold out.
Kristeen Young @ The Bowery Electric
Kristeen has a had a regular gig for the last few year's as Morrissey's go-to opener. Here's a chance to see her without some drunk person screaming "THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT!!!" in your ear. It's the final of her April residency shows gearing up for...yet another Morrissey tour.
Berlin, TV Tramps @ The Wonder Bar
Beginning their career as kinky synthpop, Berlin morphed into superstars by the time of their megahit "Take My Breath Away." Only singer Teri Nunn remains of the original '80s lineup.
Future Islands @ Austin's Mohawk last week (more by Sarah Frankie Linder)
Future Islands, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Chiffon @ Webster Hall
Future Islands have been making their arty indie pop for a few years now, but for the first time they're actually kind of famous, thanks in part to singer's Samuel T. Herring's dance moves on Letterman (and the meme that inspired) and a new album on 4AD with the songs to back it up. Tonight's show at Webster Hall (larger than the Bowery Ballroom stop earlier this tour) is sold out.
Laurie Anderson @ Metropolitan Museum of Art
This is part of the Met's new series of talks called "SPARK" that "explores vital ideas and issues through the lens of the Met's collections." Tonight conversation is between musician Laurie Anderson, author Rebecca Stead, art historian SeungJung Kim and the Met's Melanie Holcomb.
The Standells @ B.B. King Blues Club
The Standells are one of the '60s better garage rock bands, and though they may be best known for their hit "Dirty Water," they've got tons of other rewarding material too. The veteran band are touring behind their first new material in over 40 years and hitting NYC for two shows (7:3 PM & 10 PM) at BB King's tonight.
Chalk and Numbers, Dear Georgiana @ Knitting Factory
Where a lot of bands who pull from similar indiepop influences go for reverby grit, Chalk & Numbers are as shiny as the future seemed in 1962, perfect for your next cocktail party.
2 Chainz, Ne-Yo, Miguel, Sean Paul @ Best Buy Theater
It's DJ Prostyle's birthday party at Best Buy Theater tonight, and the person we're probably most excited about is R&B crooner Miguel, not that there isn't plenty of fun to be had during 2 Chainz's set too.
Creepoid, Shawn David, McMillen, Tom Cater, Pat Murano @ Cake Shop
Creepoid are one of a few modern bands reviving '90s slowcore and they do it justice. There's a bit of shoegaze in there too, and overall it's just a pretty great mix.
Kosmodemonic, Syphillitic Lust, Insect Ark @ The Grand Victory
It's a night of the heavy and the weird at Grand Victory tonight with the sludgy Kosmodemonic, the dirty Syphillitic Lust, and Insect Ark, the project of former Angels of Light member Dana Schechter.
Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Rough Trade NYC (6:30 pm in-store)
Rodrigo y Gabriela are about to play 3 nights at Beacon Theater but first they'll do this in-store and signing at Rough Trade tonight which is free with a purchase of their album from Rough Trade.
Big Terrific @ Cameo Galley
Max Silvestri hosts the free weekly comedy show in the back of Williamsburg's Lovin' Cup. No word on who's performing tonight, but Max usually lets us know via his Twitter.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

What else?
"We're Gonna Die" was inspired by an insight she traces to this incident, the idea that sadness brings isolation. We are most alone, most cut off from the possibility of comfort, when we are most in need of it. "It's not even like you can like rip off the mask and let it all hang out when you're in private around people who care about you," she confides, "because there's only so long you can keep dumping your pain on other people before eventually they start to get fed up. Which makes being in pain an incredibly lonely experience."Earlier this year, playwright Young Jean Lee adapted her cabaret We're Gonna Die, that she debuted in NYC at Joe's Pub in 2011 (the show the above review is from), into an album -- the debut release by her band Future Wife. The album has an impressive list of guests either performing or reading monologues, including David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Kathleen Hanna, Ad-Rock, Matmos, Colin Stetson and Sarah Neufeld. It was produced by Shannon Fields of Stars Like Fleas and Leverage Models. Lou Reed was a fan too, and called her "one of the most accomplished, articulate, versatile and hilarious playwrights, musicians, artists that we in America have to offer."Also a universal one of course. The charm of "We're Gonna Die" is in how effectively (and humorously) Ms. Lee converts the exaltation that pop music can spread into a kind of collective consolation for life's unavoidable woes. Employing the same basic tools of songcraft -- catchy choruses, relatable lyrics, uplifting melodies -- she applies them not to the eternal subject of swooning romance but to darker if no less common experiences (more common experiences, probably): loneliness, unhappiness, the gut-churning 4 a.m. fears about the pointless mystery of life that all sensible souls are prey to. There is comfort, Ms. Lee suggests, in public celebration of the private misery we keep locked away for fear it will leave us too exposed. [NY Times]
She's now made a video for one of the album's tracks, "I'm Gonna Die," which makes its premiere in this post. You can watch it, along with the album's tracklist, below...

The late Lou Reed was honored with a last-minute memorial in Harlem at the legendary Apollo Theatre last night (12/17), which was organized by his wife Laurie Anderson. The memorial saw some of Lou's notable friends/collaborators singing the songs of the Velvet Underground and his solo career plus reading or performing tributes to him, including Patti Smith and her bandmate Lenny Kaye, Antony Hegarty, Debbie Harry (of Blondie), Paul Simon, John Zorn, Philip Glass, former VU bandmate Moe Tucker, and others. An excerpt from the NY Times review of the show reads:
Ms. Anderson said that Mr. Reed wrote songs in single bursts. "He would wake up in the middle of the night and just write the song down and it was complete," she said. "He never changed a word. He thought, 'First thought, best thought.' "That review also points out that Laurie Anderson said Lou's last words were "Take me out into the light!"Mr. Simon sang the Velvets' "Pale Blue Eyes," marveling at its beauty and admitting there were lines he never understood. Emily Haines, from the Canadian band Metric, sang "All Tomorrow's Parties," and Jenni Muldaur sang the pensive "Jesus." Deborah Harry rocked through "White Light/White Heat."
Ms. Smith chose "Perfect Day" for what she called "Lou's most poignant lyric": "You made me forget myself/I thought I was someone else, someone good." The a cappella doo-wop group the Persuasions reworked Mr. Reed's "Turning Time Around." Antony Hegarty, who appeared in the stage production of Mr. Reed's album "Berlin," performed a slow, poignant, tremulous "Candy Says." Julian Schnabel, who filmed "Berlin," calmly recited the patricidal, carnage-filled "Rock Minuet."
The saxophonist John Zorn represented Mr. Reed's improvisational side with a squealing, scurrying, exultantly perpetual-motion yawp of a solo. And Philip Glass, on piano, accompanied a recitation of the Kaddish prayer.
Pictures of the memorial are in this post. They continue below...
Moogfest 2012 (more by Diana Wong)
As discussed, Moogfest is returning in 2014, and going down for five days instead of its usual three, from April 23-27 in Asheville, NC (where Mountain Oasis which Tourist played just happened). While the festival hasn't announced any of it's performers yet, they have announced the initial round of speakers for their daytime "innovation conferences" which includes musicians Laurie Anderson, synth pop pioneer Giorgio Moroder, film composer Cliff Martinez (Drive), Emerson Lake & Palmer keyboardist/first person to tour with a Moog synth Keith Emerson, and Claire Evans from YACHT; as well as veritable Who's Who of electronic music innovators: drum machine designer Roger Linn (creator of popular '80s drum machine LinnDrum) and Oberheim Electronics' Tom Oberheim among them. Full initial speaker announcement below. Tickets for the fest are on sale now.
Giorgio Moroder, who re-entered the public consciousness this year with his contribution to the new Daft Punk album and his first-ever live DJ set, is also planning a Las Vegas stage show. He told The Guardian:
[It's] a permanent show, based on disco ... I would do the DJing, but maybe before me we have another famous DJ, maybe somebody after. We of course have a ball, dancers in a cage: recreate Studio 54, and have it in Vegas, Macau, London.Laurie Anderson also just appeared to honor her late husband Lou Reed at the Lou Reed memorial at Lincoln Center yesterday (11/14).Of course I wouldn't just use my own songs - there are so many great disco songs, Chic and all those guys - and I would do probably an hour and a half. We're thinking of starting first in Vegas [but] it will probably be a bit like Blue Man Group - they have a franchise. We might even talk to the Cirque De Soleil team.
I would be playing, and then maybe later on if we had a franchise I would do one a week, or a month, and then a famous DJ would take over. And now you have so many great DJs that I don't think there would be any problem finding the right one.

Laurie and Lou (more by Chris La Putt)
Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed only met in 1992, believe it or not, and didn't actually get married until 2008 but had been a couple since almost the very start. Laurie gave a short eulogy to their local paper, the East Hampton Star, but has now given a longer tribute to her husband, who died on October 27, that will appear in the November 21 issue of Rolling Stone (which has Reed on the cover):
I guess there are lots of ways to get married. Some people marry someone they hardly know - which can work out, too. When you marry your best friend of many years, there should be another name for it. But the thing that surprised me about getting married was the way it altered time. And also the way it added a tenderness that was somehow completely new. To paraphrase the great Willie Nelson: "Ninety percent of the people in the world end up with the wrong person. And that's what makes the jukebox spin." Lou's jukebox spun for love and many other things, too - beauty, pain, history, courage, mystery.You can read Anderson's entire piece at Rolling Stone.Lou was sick for the last couple of years, first from treatments of interferon, a vile but sometimes effective series of injections that treats hepatitis C and comes with lots of nasty side effects. Then he developed liver cancer, topped off with advancing diabetes. We got good at hospitals. He learned everything about the diseases, and treatments. He kept doing tai chi every day for two hours, plus photography, books, recordings, his radio show with Hal Willner and many other projects. He loved his friends, and called, texted, e-mailed when he couldn't be with them. We tried to understand and apply things our teacher Mingyur Rinpoche said - especially hard ones like, "You need to try to master the ability to feel sad without actually being sad."
Patti Smith already gave a brief statement to Rolling Stone about the passing of her friend Lou Reed, and now in a piece for The New Yorker, she's written a much longer eulogy. It begins:
On Sunday morning, I rose early. I had decided the night before to go to the ocean, so I slipped a book and a bottle of water into a sack and caught a ride to Rockaway Beach. It felt like a significant date, but I failed to conjure anything specific. The beach was empty, and, with the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy looming, the quiet sea seemed to embody the contradictory truth of nature. I stood there for a while, tracing the path of a low-flying plane, when I received a text message from my daughter, Jesse. Lou Reed was dead. I flinched and took a deep breath. I had seen him with his wife, Laurie, in the city recently, and I'd sensed that he was ill. A weariness shadowed her customary brightness. When Lou said goodbye, his dark eyes seemed to contain an infinite and benevolent sadness.Read the rest here.I met Lou at Max's Kansas City in 1970. The Velvet Underground played two sets a night for several weeks that summer. The critic and scholar Donald Lyons was shocked that I had never seen them, and he escorted me upstairs for the second set of their first night. I loved to dance, and you could dance for hours to the music of the Velvet Underground. A dissonant surf doo-wop drone allowing you to move very fast or very slow. It was my late and revelatory introduction to "Sister Ray."
Lou Reed's will was also recently posted (via DNAinfo), with everything left to his wife Laurie Anderson, his sister Margaret Reed Weiner, and his 93-year old mother Toby Reed:
In a will filed Monday in Manhattan Surrogate's Court, the Velvet Underground legend left his artist wife, Laurie Anderson, their West Village coop and East Hampton summer home.Read more here.A onetime staple at Andy Warhol's factory in the 1960s, Reed also bequeathed Anderson all his art, pictures, jewelry, clothing, person effects, automobiles and boats, according to the will. He also passed along his interest in Sister Ray Enterprises, the company that holds the rights to his songs.
Reed, who had no children, also instructed his executor to give $500,000 to his sister, Margaret Reed Weiner, but encouraged his sibling to look out for their mom.
As discussed, Patti Smith has 3-NYC area shows coming up at the end of the year.
Laurie Anderson & Lou Reed at 2010 Mermaid Parade (more by Chris La Putt)
After the passing of the great Lou Reed, many people who were in his life -- like David Bowie, David Byrne, and John Cale, to name a few -- have written tributes to him. Now comes one from Laurie Anderson, the art pop musician who married Lou in 2008, and has performed with him multiple times, and she's now published one via East Hampton Star:
To our neighbors:Watch a video of Lou and Laurie performing "I'll Be Your Mirror" together, below...What a beautiful fall! Everything shimmering and golden and all that incredible soft light. Water surrounding us.
Lou and I have spent a lot of time here in the past few years, and even though we're city people this is our spiritual home.
Last week I promised Lou to get him out of the hospital and come home to Springs. And we made it!
Lou was a tai chi master and spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature. He died on Sunday morning looking at the trees and doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician hands moving through the air.
Lou was a prince and a fighter and I know his songs of the pain and beauty in the world will fill many people with the incredible joy he felt for life. Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
-- Laurie Anderson
his loving wife and eternal friend

Frequent Lou Reed collaborator John Zorn, who just turned 60, paid tribute to his friend on Facebook (update: which is approved by but not actually run by Zorn) by posting the above picture along with the words "RIP Lou Reed". A comment by the page also includes a link to the NY Times obituary entitled "Outsider Whose Dark, Lyrical Vision Helped Shape Rock 'n' Roll".
Hours earlier, It was announced on the same Facebook that John will be playing with Thurston Moore as a duo at his non-profit club The Stone on New Year's Eve. Thurston is no stranger to the Stone where he has played and curated before. It also won't be the first time John and Thurston play together, as you can see in one of the videos below.
Lou and Laurie Anderson were also regulars and curators at the stone. Check out a video of Lou, Laurie and John playing together (not at the Stone), also below...

Fred Frith - 'Guitar Solos' (1974)
Avant-garde guitar great Fred Frith -- probably best known for his influential 1974 album, Guitar Solos, which caught the ear of Brian Eno, who asked him to appear on two of his 1978 albums, Before and After Science and Music for Films, and prominently featured the use of prepared guitars, which would later be popularized by Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth -- is beginning a six day residency at The Stone today (8/27), which continues through Sunday (9/1).
For the early (8 PM) and the late (10 PM) shows tonight, Frith will be joined by art pop mastermind Laurie Anderson on violin and keyboards. Admission is $25 at the door. Other shows of note include Frith and Stone artistic director/sax wizard John Zorn at the early show on Thursday (8/29) (also $25); and Frith with no wave legend Ikue Mori (of DNA, and also of Death Ambient with Fred Frith) and Thurston Moore collaborator Nate Wooley at the early show on Saturday (8/31). The full schedule for the residency is below.

Ghostface Killah Celebrating Brooklyn
"Although he only had 45 minutes on stage, for which he apologized a few times to the crowd of "10,000" fans, he played hip-hop classics off his solo albums like "Ironman," "Supreme Clientele," a bunch of bangers from Wu-Tang Clan.Ghostface Killah played the free Lyricist Lounge anniversary show in Prospect Park on Saturday (6/23) with Camp Lo, Astro (who you might know from TV show The X-Factor), Farrah Burns, and Rah Diggah. Lots more great pics from that show below.But, Ghostface wasn't alone on stage, Cappadonna, the unofficial tenth member of Wu-Tang, took the stage and did a killer rendition of the song "Winter Warz" over Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya" beat.
Sheek Louch also hit the stage and played his verses from The Lox's various albums.
By 8 p.m., the police cut off the crowd, which Ghostface said was about 10,000 deep, from filling the fenced off area in front of the stage. So, as die hard fans still filled the park surrounding the bandshell, they lined up along the fence to dance and rhyme along with the hip-hop MCs. [Patch]
Rap continued at Celebrate Brooklyn earlier this week with Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q opening for Childish Gambino (Instagrams here and here). Ghostface plays NYC again as part of Wu-Block (at Highline Ballroom and in NJ at Rock the Bells)
Meanwhile, Celebrate Brooklyn continues in Prospect Park tonight (6/28) with Ballet Hispanico, "the leading representative of Hispanic culture in American dance" (8pm, free). On Friday (6/29) it's Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, The Brooklyn Steppers, and Dayna Kurtz (7:30pm, free), and Saturday (6/30) it's Angélique Kidjo's Women Waging Peace with Special Guests Laurie Anderson, Sibongile Khumalo, and Somi (7:30pm, free).

They went after Fort Bliss to get more tax to deepen their pockets and who is fighting for us to keep this from happening? The General agreed to let them take from those no covered under the PX & Commissary. I hope this ends with a trial for those who are corrupt, I am leaving their are better states with less taxes. Good luck to those who have to endure this, US ARMY

POSTED: Friday, February 22, 2013 - 6:55pm
UPDATED: Friday, March 29, 2013 - 10:25am
Tyler,TX — Tyler ISD held a meeting Thursday night.
The board decided to put a bond issue before Tyler voters in May. The board says the district needs upgrades, but one group says, the price tag on the bond and will put the city in debt.
While Tyler ISD is moving forward their plan,
Grassroots of America tell KETK, new buildings are not going to improve test scores.
One parents tell KETK, he's for the news changes.
"The proposal was for $160.5 million dollars," says Dawn Parnell, Director of Communications, Tyler ISD.
A bond for renovations, building new schools, facilities, and providing a career and technology center for the high schools.
The bond was approved at the Tyler ISD board meeting, but Grassroots of America group tells KETK, "It's unfortunate that the district is going forward with the bond election," says JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director of Grassroots of America.
"The poor academic results I parts of our district, our question to the community is when is it going to be time to ask for and demand good academic results across the district."
"We feel that facilities are one piece of the puzzle and we continue to focus on academics and continue to focus on providing a safe and secure environment for our students," Dawn Parnell.
KETK spoke to a parent in Tyler and president of 'Tyler Proud' ,who spoke at the board meeting.
"We want your thoughts on the results of last night's board meeting to approve the bond that will be on the May ballot? "Well obviously 'Tyler Proud'...we are excited about it the move on the bond to go ahead and put it on the May ballot. We think it's a great opportunity to strengthen TISD and strengthen the community of Tyler," says Mark Randall, Parent in Tyler, President of 'Tyler Proud'.
Grassroots of America leaders also attended the meeting. they tell KETK, this pricey bond will affect tax payers. she says, forget the new buildings, what about the test scores..
"They are more interested in new buildings and I understand that the parents want a brand new shiny building for their kids but do you know what?.... We have to be concerned about what's going on in the new school building we already have," says Joann Fleming.

Der RollschulcoasterRoller coaster
Published: This is a kiddie coaster where many a parent has as much fun as the kids. The cosater resembles those steel coaters you find at many a traveling carnival. There is a short first hill which gives the train it's momentum to go through the much smaller camel hills before getting back to the station. You will ride the circuit twice before the ride is over. It is a good ride to get your youngsters interested in rollercoasters.

Woman takes police on high-speed chase in Wichita Falls outskirts
A 79-year-old woman — a retired Army master sergeant — led authorities from three counties on a high-speed chase that ended on the outskirts of Wichita Falls Tuesday evening.
Baylor County Sheriff Bob Elliott said the incident started in Throckmorton County near the Baylor County line when three people — including Baylor County Commissioner Jimmy Stout — noticed a car "dead in the road" on U.S.183. The car was out of gas and the three managed to come up with enough fuel to get the female driver going again. The woman took off at high speed and the good Samaritans, noticing her behavior had been strange, notified the DPS. A trooper came from Albany to give pursuit.
Elliot said he was waiting along the highway in Baylor County when the woman "passed me like I was a dead rabbit on the side of the road." Officers followed her into Seymour where Police Chief Mike Griffin joined the chase. In Seymour, the woman got onto U.S. 277 driving east in the westbound lanes, avoiding a collision with an oncoming car.
The caravan followed the woman through Dundee, Mankins, Holliday and the Kamay Y. An Archer County deputy got a spike strip onto the road ahead of her, but it took out just one tire and the woman kept rolling.
"She must be related to Andy Granatelli (race car legend), Elliott said. Wichita County deputies entered the chase as it came into this county.
The sheriff said he became concerned the woman would get into heavy traffic in Wichita Falls, so he got behind her and bumped her vehicle. That failed to stop her, so he bumped her again hard enough to knock his assault rifle from its bracket, and the woman's car ran into a bar ditch beside the U.S. 277 access road near FM 369.
Elliott said the woman's car came to rest near where a woman was jogging along the shoulder and the jogger ran into a field.
"She was looking over her shoulder like a coyote looking at a pack of greyhounds," the sheriff said of the jogger.
The woman, from Canyon Lake, Texas, suffered only minor injuries. Elliott said law officers later learned from family members the woman suffered both physical and mental health issues. He said it was unlikely charges would be filed against her.

This is a COMPLETE Framework and services.jar edit. Complete with Transparency (thanks to Xeudoxus' transparency patcher) and notification and clock edits to white (thanks again to xeudoxus for figuring out the clock edit patch).
There are 2 versions. One services.jar has the battery mod left in, one is clean (no batterymod). Just a note, that the one with the battery mod isn't perfect as its just text over the battery icon instead of icons themselves. So the battery status numbers aren't centered perfectly on the battery icon, but still easily readable.
These are NOT tested on voo-doo. allthough i HIGHLY doubt that will make a difference. Use at your own risk. I assume no responsibility for what you do to your device!
These are update.zip!
Download, boot into CWM recovery and apply zip from SDcard! Done!
If you have ROM manager and you download this from your phone, it should take you right to ROM manager to install zip! No need to wipe data. Make a backup before you download though... thats always rule number one.
For the full 2.3 feel, search the market for "gingerbread launcher" and download the one by MoDaCO AND the "Gingerbread Keyboard" from Stephen Lin!!
NOTE!! These may not directly install from teh market due to some bugs still with this ROM (alpha remember), BUT if you use root explorer to scan your SDcard, they will both appear in the "downloads" folder, which for some reason you can then click on and install from your SD. ENJOY!!!!

5 Toxic Tech Stocks You Should Sell in March
Taiwan Semiconductor
Sometimes the simplest patterns are the ones worth heeding the most. Case in point: the broken uptrend in Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM - Get Report). You don't have to be an expert technical analyst to figure out what's going on in TSM -- this stock had been trading within an uptrending channel, but the channel broke back in February.
Trend channels are useful for traders because they identify the high-probability range for shares to keep moving within. Once shares move outside the channel, it's an early warning that the direction of the trend is changing. That's exactly what's happening in TSM right now; shares broke down through trendline support, and after staging a pullback to re-affirm newfound resistance at the bottom of the channel, shares started trading within a downtrending channel.
Now, it makes sense to be a seller in TSM if you're not already. This stock could have a lot more room to run lower in 2013. Worse, it could end up like the next name on our list.

Literary Nonfiction. CALIBAN AND THE WITCH is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization."It is both a passionate work of memory recovered and a hammer of humanity's agenda."—Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged Reviews and Other Linkshttp://www.kersplebedeb.com/caliban/http://www.kpfa.org/archive/id/47741http://www.lipmagazine.org/articles/revicontent_caliban.htmhttp://theragblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/books-caliban-and-witch-creation-of.htmlhttp://socialisme.blog.com/2009/05/25/caliban-and-the-witch/

Assassination triggers adjustments
There will be fallout from the killing of former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani. Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen says it seems the Taliban is shifting tactics to more spectacular, high-profile attacks and assassinations. He said this also means that U.S. and Afghan forces will have to adjust to it. Mullen said at a news conference commanders are working with the Afghans to shore up their personal security.

'Army is one of the biggest job providers in the country'
Out of over 31,000 youth, 2,044 candidates qualified from Sirkakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari and Krishna districts, who participated in the weeklong Army Recruitment Rally that concluded here on Saturday.
For the 2,044 youth, who have qualified for the medical and further screening test, the process will be held here on Tuesday (June 25) at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium.
The candidates found fit in the medical test will be allowed to write the common entrance examination (CEE), which will be conducted at Visakhapatnam on July 28.
The rally was held to fill up various posts in the Army such as Soldier Technical and Soldier Technical (Aviation & Ammunition Examiner), Soldier General Duty, Soldier Technical Nursing Assistant, Soldier Technical (Dresser), Soldier Tradesman (All Arms), Soldier Clerk/ Store Keeper Technical and Defence Service Corps.
According to the Director Recruiting P.P. Singh said the Indian Army is one of the biggest job providers in the country and the recruitment process is a continuous one to keep the Army young and fit. With the improved pay, allowances and perks, it is today an attractive profession, he added.
Efforts were being made to get maximum number of youth from the backward areas of the districts to woo them away from the influence of naxals and integrate them into the national mainstream.
'Based on merit'
He also cautioned aspiring youth, who intend to join the army, to keep away from touts and concentrate on mental and physical fitness, as the selection is totally based on merit. Regular updates on the selection process will be hosted on the web www.ap.nic.in and also informed through press releases, he added. The recruitment officer thanked the district administration for providing the required infrastructure and services for the smooth conduct of the rally.

Find the key then find the key hole,that's the only way to heaven.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
The walls were much of an enemy rather then the Evil Eyeballs :) stil pretty unique game
Rated 2 / 5 stars
It's okay, but with the fact that you can't even touch the walls, the controls seem clunky and unforgiving if you get too close on sloped pathways.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Not bad :) could do with being a bit more fluent and maybe some more gameplay mechanics
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's OK. Short game, no upgrades not addicting. Not a copy of another game.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Its really hard, but I love the idea. The music really suited the atmosphere, and at the beggining, when there was that scream, it really scared me. The animation most probably took ages, but I have seen better.
Altogether, its pretty good!
