(Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images)The New York Knicks are in no hurry to name a new head coach, so they will wait until after the Oklahoma City Thunder's season is over to talk to veteran point guard Derek Fisher, according to Marc Stein and Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com.The Thunder play the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals starting Monday night.Last week, Steve Kerr, who was New York's top coaching candidate, signed a five-year, $25 million deal to coach the Golden State Warriors.Among the candidates reportedly on the Knicks' radar include veteran NBA coach Mike Dunleavy, Denver Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw, and Mark Jackson, who just rejoined ESPN as a broadcaster after being fired by Golden State.Fisher said he has other things on his mind than coaching and will wait until after the season to weigh his options."I would tell people to allow me to finish my career as a player before they give me another job after that. It's humbling, just to think about people thinking of me in that manner, especially while I'm still playing," Fisher said. [But] I promise you this is the last thing on my mind at this point. I really haven't thought about it that much. Hopefully there's a lot of basketball left to be played this season for sure. Once that's done we'll go from there."Under recently-fired Mike Woodson, the Knicks finished this past season 37-45 despite having the league's second-highest payroll.

BRISTOL, Conn. — Are you ready for some football? Hank Williams Jr. isn't anymore.
The country singer and ESPN each took credit for the decision Thursday morning to ax his classic intro to "Monday Night Football."
The network had pulled the song from the game earlier this week after Williams made an analogy to Adolf Hitler while discussing President Barack Obama on Fox News on Monday morning.
"After reading hundreds of e-mails, I have made MY decision," Williams said in a statement to The Associated Press. "By pulling my opening Oct 3rd, You (ESPN) stepped on the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech, so therefore Me, My Song, and All My Rowdy Friends are OUT OF HERE. It's been a great run."
But ESPN's statement said: "We have decided to part ways with Hank Williams Jr. We appreciate his contributions over the past years. The success of Monday Night Football has always been about the games and that will continue."
Spokesman Kirt Webster said Williams made the decision Wednesday night, while the network said it informed Williams of the move Thursday morning.
Regardless of whose call it was, one of sports' and entertainment's most visible partnerships is over. The song had been a "Monday Night Football" staple since 1989 and survived the game's switch of networks from ABC to cable a few years ago.
The song is based on Williams' hit "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight." The lyrics were changed each week to reflect the night's game.
ESPN will no longer have access to the music or words because Williams owns the publishing rights, the master recordings and the song. Williams, the son of country music icon Hank Williams, is known for his bombastic manner and strong opinions.
For next Monday's Bears-Lions game, ESPN will run before kickoff the preview segment that had been used at the start of the MNF telecast. The intro will be narrated by former Detroit star Barry Sanders.
"This is the format we'll likely use for the remainder of the season," spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote in an email. "We haven't made any decisions beyond that."
Williams' statement on "Fox & Friends" comparing a golf game between Obama and Republican Rep. John Boehner to an outing featuring Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went viral after ESPN announced it would pull the intro late that afternoon.
"It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu," Williams said during the satellite interview.
Asked to clarify, Williams said, "They're the enemy," adding that by "they" he meant Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Anchor Gretchen Carlson later said to him, "You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe, I think, the president." Williams replied, "Well, that is true. But I'm telling you like it is."
Williams issued a statement Monday night insisting his remarks were misunderstood, then apologized Tuesday.
Williams got plenty of support, even from some unlikely places.
Among his defenders were Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar of "The View," who have a very different political viewpoint from the conservative Williams, but often are called out for their own comments.
"Those among us who are without sin, cast the first stone," Goldberg said.

Separated And Happily Married
By Deb Dutilh
Separate vacations – When I was married and living in France, my husband and I took separate vacations along with our family vacations and also carved out time to be together just the two of us. When I would visit my family in Los Angeles, I jealously and ferociously kept a full week just for me, my family, my mom and my girlfriends, without my husband and kids who were happy to see me happy. There is nothing like total freedom when no one is waiting for you compared to having your partner wait outside a store in the mall, arms crossed and people watching with you feeling like you have to rush because patience does have its limits. When he would arrive the following week, I was ready to spend time with him on a "real vacation" having gotten all the family and girlfriend catching up, necessary shopping and girl stuff out of the way. Likewise, when he would take his annual week to go ski trekking with friends, I got to have all that time to myself to creatively organize my schedule just around me. Our motto at those times was, "I'm happy to see you go have fun and I can't wait to celebrate when you come back!" And celebrate we did!
What would your relationship be like if you viewed separation as something you built in and cherished as a source of renewal instead of assuming there were ulterior motives?
What are some of the ways you've built personal space into your relationship?

2002 Mercury Villager 4 Dr STD Passenger Van
ProsA lot of room for the family. I also go to sell at flea markets and it can hold a lot of merchandise. great family van. Consgas millage sucks. im not sure how many miles to the gallon but it is less than 30, maybe 25 on highway. really bad acceleration too.
Its A Good Family Van, Gas And Power Are Kinda Bad But Its Good. — this is a great van for family vacation and to commute to and from work, but the only think I didn't like about this van was that the acceleration is not that great, even if you floor it its more the noise it makes than the actual speed.

2002 Mercury Villager 4 Dr Sport Passenger Van
ProsLove the fact that it accelerates good, even when it's fully loaded with all my friends, ConsI don't like the fact that it gets terrible gas mileage, but it does need to be repaired. Plus it's a mini-van.
Mercury Villager — It does the job, acceleration and braking are good, handling okay. When i'm stopped at a light though, the dash board squeaks, and well maybe i've backed into some things, it was my mom's old car. Gas mileage sucks, though, but it's probably due to the fact that i accelerate to fast. Overall, i think this is a really good car. |
2002 Mercury Villager 4 Dr Sport Passenger Van
ProsUm, see one line summary. ConsIt sucks the soul and life force out of anyone unlucky enough to drive it. Other than that, it's great.
Gets Us There. — There are better minivans. Sort of in the way that there were better wars than WWI. This van is easy to maintain and burns ZERO oil. The car is about as much fun to drive as a brick with wheels. Primary Use: Family transportation |

Edwards has set up many scholarships for American kids at a great cost to himself in time and money. Americans are sex crazed fools as anyone can see from our television shows and those blue pills that are handed out to men of all ages. It is time we grew up. Edwards broke his oath of fidelity to Elizabeth and there is no guarantee he would not have broken his oath of office to the Constitution. The key word is "oath" and apparently this taken on the bible has lost all its meaning. I think it always has and Americans are still hoping for the God that is mentioned in our government. Some day we will recognize that an oath means nothing without a man of honor taking it on any book.
The voters lack honor when we continue to bring men and women into power based on their promised handouts. We are a helpless nation needing the nanny state.

Super Meat Boy Is Bloody Great Fun!
No, the title wasn't to highlight the fact I'm British, it was a bad pun to highlight how awesome 'Super Meat Boy' is! You'd think I was a masochist by saying how much I love this game, because it's just a straight up challenging game, there isn't any question about it, this game is 'hard.' Of course the earlier levels start off as less of a challenge but if you're not familiar with the game's controls and mechanics even the early levels can be grueling experience.
The plot of the game is simple, you are Meat Boy, and your girlfriend Bandage Girl has been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Fetus and your objective is save her. However, the plot may seem simple but the game will throw whatever it can to stop that from happening, from Saw Blades, to Used Needles the game has something around every corner that is out to kill you over and over again, but from what I've wrote thus far it's made this game look like your regular frustrating platform game, and this is where Super Meat Boy has the edge.
Although it might be a frustrating platform game, Super Meat Boy does it well, it's hilarious and over the top, you will get as much pleasure from seeing Meat Boy die as you will get agitated, ontop of that the best part is the levels don't get repetitive because in each world there is always something new and different. Once you beat the required time in each level you can play the dark world version which
decorates the level you know with murderous contraptions that will raise the difficulty bar, also a few levels have a gate way to 'warp zones' which take you to a retro theme'd 8-bit level with references to classic platformers and some of which will give you
access to special characters such as commander video, you can also buy other characters by collecting bandages from specific levels in the game. With 7 worlds and 300 levels Super Meat Boy will keep you entertain for more than just a few hours... So expect a speedy, challenging, comical, fun and frustrating game that is undoubtedly one of the greatest Xbox Live Arcade titles to date.
Super Meat Boy is currently 800 Microsoft Points but will go up to 1200 at the end of the month so if you plan on getting it, do it now.
Enjoy the bloodshed

The stickmen are coming!
StickWars is a fun and unusual arcade strategy game that challenges you to defend a castle from an onslaught of barbarians.
The game's strategy revolves around earning money, based on how many kills you rack up, and also on capturing barbarians. Train captured barbarians as archers, repair workers, wizards (who hurl explosive comets with a double tap), or bomb carriers, all of which helps you against the horde but each has cumulative upkeep costs (or in the case of the kamikaze bomb carriers, they simply cost you a prisoner for each bomb). The gameplay, however, can be too repetitive--and too easy, aside from the strain on your flicking finger--through many of the levels, and the strategy doesn't require much nuance.
StickWars' core gameplay and presentation are definitely fun, and early updates have already made significant improvements. Overall, StickWars is a good game for the price, but we're hoping future updates make the game even better.

Warning: Don't continue reading if you don't want to know who died on 'Grey's Anatomy' last night!
Fans weren't just shocked when one of their favorite characters died on the May 17 season finale of Grey's Anatomy – they were furious! Though creator Shonda Rhimes later tweeted that she and the actress "both decided this was the right time for her character's journey to end," the show's loyal audience definitely doesn't agree.
In case you missed the episode, Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) met her untimely end after being crushed by the wing of a crashed plane, despite Mark Sloan's (Eric Dane) best efforts to save her life. In a heartbreaking scene, he finally told her that he loved her and wanted to live a full life with her — but it was too late.
(Our original post about Lexie's death was met by dozens of angry comments from viewers, begging Shonda to change her mind and somehow put Lexie in a coma instead.)
I get that season finales need to be buzzworthy, and that killing off a major character is a guaranteed way to get people talking, but I can't help thinking this may have been a terrible decision Shonda will soon regret. Just because an actress feels her time on a show is up, especially an actress fans actually liked, killing her character isn't necessarily the smartest move.
It's sort of the opposite of the way I felt about Katherine Heigl's exit from the show, as I've always thought Izzy should have been killed off. With Izzy, you had an unlikeable character — and even more unlikable actress — who was literally in the middle of a story line about her dying. It would have been the perfect out, one that would have been admittedly sad, but also justifiable.
Killing Lexie out of the blue just felt weird. Couldn't she have been transferred to another hospital, allowing for a possible return somewhere down the road?
How do YOU feel about Lexie's death?

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: HTTPing
HTTPing may be the perfect tool to check on the health of your web server.
Between visits to the dentist, my job depends on my users' subjective impressions. If a web server reacts slowly, the typical reaction is something like "Hey, why's the server so slow today?" But how "slow" is slow? If a single machine is having a bad day, it is quite simple to individually check its health state. Things start becoming more complicated if a remote machine is off-key and I only have HTTP access.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones. - Proverbs 3:7-8
Every person in covenant with God through Jesus Christ will be healed, sometimes in this life, for certain in the eternal. Reverential fear of the Lord and turning away from evil are two essentials for healthy living in the here and now. When you reverence God, you respect what He has made—beginning with your own body. As you turn away from evil, you also turn your back on its byproducts, including unhealthy habits that eat away at your vitality. For some, the ultimate description of exhaustion is "bone-weary." God promises that in Him there is such refreshing it overcomes tiredness in the extreme.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting married next May (we haven't 100% set the date yet) and we're trying to sort out what we want to do so we can figure out all the sorted details. Since we love our beers we want to offer 3-4 of our beers at the reception. Obviously we have the time to get it all brewed but we're not sure how to sort it out with the reception. I know some of you guys served homebrew at receptions, so I'm looking for some answers to questions/advice/experiences. We don't want to go the bottle route, we want to keg in cornys. We are inexperienced with kegging but we can get the equipment to keg and pressurize. However, should be expect problems with reception halls/rented bartenders serving an unlabeled product? What do we need or what do we need to ask about to make sure they will have the set up to float our kegs? Should we expect to provide the kegerator? Anything else I'm not thinking about? Thanks for the help!
The first thing to tackle is: "Is it legal?"
I would definitely plan on providing the kegerator or some other means of chilling (trash cans with ice water) as catering companies aren't set up with the equipment to dispense corny kegs. I would find an old chest freezer and convert that into a multi-tap kegerator. It would be the easiest to set up, plus it would look cool. I also can't imagine any legal issues arising from paying someone to dispense for you. It's not like you're charging for the beer, you're just paying someone to pour. The wedding I made beer for was bottles and a keg. But there was no bartender involved, it was self service.
I would certainly not brush off looking into the legality just because it's free... I don't know the laws of Texas so I can't say if it is or isn't legal but we all know every state has vastly varying laws when it comes to homebrews: In some states it's illegal to have it outside your house or give too much away etc. The last thing you want is your wedding reception getting crashed for homebrew Also I'd make sure to clearly ask/explain the situation to your catering company to make sure they are ok with serving it as well.
Talk to whoever you're dealing with for the reception and explain to them what you want to do. They'll be able to tell you if A) it's legal and B) they'll allow it at their facility.
Found this on the Texas Legislature Website I didn't find anything that said you couldn't serve it at your wedding. The only specifics on taking your brew elsewhere pertain to "organized tastings" or "competitions".
109.21(a) states that you can brew for yourself for self/family use. 109.22 only applies to people brewing under 109.21. If you're brewing for people outside your family, it would appear that you probably are technically violating 109.21. Second, 109.22(b) appears to apply to places that are not licensed by TABC and for only to certain events. Based on how I read the statute, I don't think either of the sections you listed really cover this situation. Bottom line, if the place where the reception has a liquor license, you are most likely going to need to clear some red tape some serve your own brew. Knowing Texas and it's backassward alcohol laws, you would probably be prohibited to serve your own beer. Think of it this way, if a bar has a liquor license, you can't BYOB. Same situation here. If the place the reception is at doesn't have a liquor license, you might be able to get away with it. Again, talk to whoever you're dealing with at your reception location.
All legality issues aside, if it is legal to do so, and if you get it squared with the hall or wherever, This is what you have to consider doing...BierMunchers Rolling Kegerator (BYO Published)
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
in texas, the only law is no more than 200 gallons per household. serve away
Taps: 1: Empty 2: Scottish Export 80 3: Hef-wit Fermenting: English Mild, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barkshack Mead
I agree that the first thing to do is ask the reception hall/caterers if they will allow outside alcohol. If they do, go the trashcan route. You definitely don't want to worry about hauling a keezer around.

Movie Review: Watchmen
I wouldn't consider myself a "fanboy" but I did leave work early Friday to stand in line and wait to see Watchmen The IMAX Experience. Warning: This movie has a hard R rating. The frontal male scenes may not be IMAX friendly for some moviegoers. Next time they show a movie like that I would appreciate a little warning ahead of time. This movie is rated R with a FM for frontal male nudity. Why are they not doing this already? It's only right.

Movie Review: Echelon Conspiracy
I'll be the first to admit that I see a lot of bad movies. I see a lot of good movies too, I guess seeing a few bad ones comes with the territory. What I hate about bad movies is that they stick with you for a long time. You walk out of the theater with bad movie stench on you that's surprisingly hard to get off. It's like when you eat bad food and it sits in your stomach (YES! I'm pointing at you Applebee's).

I'm excited and I purchased my Watchmen tickets for opening day at the IMAX. Am I a super nerd if that's the highlight of my week? Maybe. I'm still going to leave work early on the 6th for 2 1/2 hours of pure enjoyment. The fanboy in me was even more excited after I saw this clips………as if I need a 1,476th reason to go see Watchmen.

Movie Review: Friday the 13th
A few months back while seeing RockNRolla, they showed a really short teaser for Friday the 13th. I instantly excited to see this new movie. I'm not sure whey because Friday the 13th Part III may have ruined two years of my childhood. I wasn't going to attend any camps after watching that movie. I wasn't going to camp, I wasn't watching camp on TV, and I didn't even want to spell the word camp. I'd like to thank my uncle Brian for that. We all have those uncles who show you movies 5 years before you're actually ready to see them. My parents can also thank him for introducing me to Scarface and 2 Live Crew.

Movie Review: He's Just Not That Into You
Most men aren't big fans of romantic comedies (Please see exhibit A). Mostly because the entire plot is given away in the two minute teaser trailer. A lot like the A-Rod scandal, there is really no surprise with these movies. I also have this haunting feeling that during parts of these movies I'm going to feel sick to my stomach and possibly leave my lunch on the floor for some lucky person to find.

Check out Satriani's custom JS25ART guitars — and every current Satch signature Ibanez.
A chat with this artist from Ladies of the Canyon.
With the release of Ozzy Osbourne's No Rest for the Wicked in 1988, a sound was unleashed on the world that changed the lexicon of rock guitar and redefined the meaning of "Guitar God." Plucked from anonymity in Jackson, New Jersey, at age 20, Zakk Wylde (formerly Jeff Wielandt) forged a new path of style, personality and tone that continues to grow and evolve to this day.
Guitar World's Andy Aledort breaks down the classic Ozzy song featuring the guitar wizardry of Randy Rhoads.
Ozzy Osbourne posted a message to his Facebook page late last night, apologizing for his "insane behavior" while drinking and taking drugs over the past year and a half. He also denied rumors that he's splitting from his wife, Sharon.
The album artwork and track listing for 13 — the first new studio album in 35 years from the original Black Sabbath — have now been revealed. In classic Sabbath fashion, the album, which is due out June 11, features eight songs and clocks in at just under 60 minutes.
Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler address Tony Iommi's illness, Bill Ward's departure and Sabbath's first album with Ozzy since 1978.
As the countdown for the June 11 arrival of Black Sabbath's 13 gets closer, the second Jack Osbourne-directed clip of the band at work on the album can now be seen below.
As we first reported back in October, former Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist Jake E. Lee is in the midst of returning to active duty.
Black Sabbath have posted a new video, as promised yesterday on their Facebook page, that gives fans an inside look at the band at work in the studio.
Guitar World pays tribute to Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne's colossal sideman, with this classic transcript of a guitar clinic he conducted shortly before his death.
In anticipation of the upcoming Rock & Roll Roast of Dee Snider, we're taking a look back at some highlights from last year's roast of Zakk Wylde.

About this location
The Lake District
The Lake District has many impressive mountains, open fells and beautiful lakes. The landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. You can cruise on a steam-powered yacht or walk the hills and valleys. There are simply so many great ways to explore the Lake District.
For the serious walker, the mountains of Skiddaw, Helvellyn or the highest peak in England, Scaffell Pike provide a great challenge. At lower levels there are hundreds of routes wandering among the lakes and
stone-walled fields.
You can even choose a lake to suit your mood: if bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating watersports take your fancy, then Windermere, Derwent Water and Coniston Water will suit. If it's peace and tranquility you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Yet Cumbria offers much more than the lakes alone. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley, where the heather clad moors peppered with birch trees inspired many of Wordsworth's poems.
There are a variety of castles, old statley homes and interesting Slate buildings accross the area. You can even visit a working Slate mine and learn how the process begins. Whinlatter and Grizdale forrests are great for mountain biking and walking, you can even Go Ape and climb through the trees. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and watersports making for a perfect family day out.
Greystoke is within easy access of junction 40 on the M6, with the market town of Penrith a 10 minute drive away. In Penrith you will find a diverse selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. Just 20 minutes along the A66 is the popular town of Keswick, overlooked by some of Wainwrights favourite mountains and on the banks of Derwentwater. Ullswater is even closer with its picturesque views and water falls. This is the best place to tackle the famous Helvellyn or take a trip on a steam boat.
There are many nearby attractions and extensive aray of lakes and fells to explore. The Rheged visitors centre is five minutes down the road with its shops, cafes, children play area and I-max cinema. Penrith Golf Centre has a driving range, shop and challenging nine hole course which is great for a practice and keeping your hand in. Finally for the adventurous, Rookin House which is on the way to keswick, offers outdoor pursuits such as karting, quad biking and archery.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to eating out with the Boot & Shoe pub within walking distance serving great home cooked pub food and lakeland ale. We also have the Herdwick Inn, Sportsman Inn and the Clickham Inn a short drive away. Penrith has a larger selection of eateries from Tapas, Italian or bistro style to mention but a few.

"Fabulous retreat"
4 of us stayed for the week, which turned out to be the UK's heatwave, with temperatures around 28C. We found the house large and very comfortable. The kitchen is well laid out and when doing the washing up, you can look out of the window over the garden and field, which had sheep in during our stay. Shame I did not have any mint sauce around the place! The 2 downstairs bedrooms are excellent, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds, which are all extremely comfortable. There's also a bathroom with over shower on the ground floor. The upstairs lounge runs from the front to the rear of the house and is enormous and also has a large flat screen TV. Patio doors lead out onto a balcony, which overlooks the rear garden and field. The master bedroom also runs from front to rear of the house and again, it's enormous. There's a king size bed, which is very comfortable and there's also plenty of wardrobe space. The only downside we found was the on-suite bathroom. It only had a hand held shower, which was not very good and would be far better if this bathroom had a power shower. Don't bother going to stay in South Lakeland, as it's packed out with tourists and finding a parking space can be nigh on impossible at times. Greystoke is a beautiful village, that is a tranquil retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The local pub, The Boot and Shoe, is a great place to go for either a drink and a meal. My partner highly recommends the cask ales, especially the Black Sheep bitter, which is brewed at Masham, Yorkshire. As we live in Tenerife, my partner wanted to take the pub back with him!

"Excellent base for The Lakes and Fells"
The booking and communication with Craig and Susanna was very fast and efficient. The house is just as it appears on the internet and is very well equipped for a hassle free stay. On arrival the house was warm, welcoming, clean, tidy and included things like loo rolls, foam bath, liquid hand soap, washing up liquid. There was a lovely bottle of chilled wine in the fridge alongside some milk and some fresh flowers on the work top. Thank you it was a lovely touch. We did cook on a few evenings and on the others tried the Boot and Shoe Pub in the village which was nice and welcoming and usually has something going on in the evening. When we were there it was a tribute band on David Bowie which we enjoyed very much especially our adult son. There was also Morris dancing which you could join in, Jam Night, Quiz Night etc. Food was nice but a little expensive compared to elsewhere. We also tried the Sportsman down the road which was very good and they did smaller plates for those of us who don't have the Northern appetite.
Greystoke is a lovely welcoming, peaceful village. It is an excellent base from which to see the Lakes, Fells and Cumbrian towns. Make sure you get out and about and see as much as you can in the time you have. We loved Grassmere and Buttermere especially the drive out of Buttermere - the scenery was stunning. We can recommend The Fish at Buttermere for a good lunch and again they provide smaller plates at cheaper prices. We covered almost all of Cumbria on our recent trip and we were all sad when it was time to leave.
If we return to this area again we would try to book Orchard House before anywhere else. It is in such a good location and has everything you could need. Would we recommend it to friends - definitely.
Thank you very much for the kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back again!

"3rd Stay and already booked our week for next year."
Booking is simple; owners are polite and very helpful. Overall experience of stay here is great, hence why we return so much!
This was our 3rd stay at Orchard House and we have already booked to return to the house now known as our 'Upside down Lakes house'. This is because as a family of 4, we sleep in the 2 downstairs bedrooms, which share a bathroom (with electric shower over the bath) and the set of Grandparents 'escape' upstairs to their En-suite bath roomed King size dual aspect bedroom! However all adults get to 'escape' upstairs to the large lounge to watch T.V. or sit in the sun on the balcony while the children play on the play-station downstairs in their downstairs lounge section or watch T.V. channels of their choice, or just play with their toys!
The well equipped kitchen is downstairs and we get particular use from the washing machine - we walk in any weather and often our kit is filthy! We also fill the freezer on arrival, as I have no intention of shopping whilst on holiday! We even used the fish and chip van for the first time this year (Thurs nights in the swimming pool car park 5.30-6.30pm approx) and watched our fillets be battered and cooked! The swimming pool is outside and heated and open for the summer months, run by volunteers. On a hot day it is a treat to swim outside in our country.
The house has always been extremely clean and well prepared for our visit. Although it is sited just outside of the National Park, getting to the A66 is only a few minutes drive and from this a lot of the Lakes can be accessed in under 30 mins or less. Ullswater, Keswick and Derwent Water, St John's in the Vale, and the Ospreys at Dodd Wood around Bassinthwaite Lake are all about 20 mins drive away and Thirlmere/ Borrowdale approx 30 mins drive away. We walk everyday and after 3 weeks have never driven more than 30 mins away and have completed different walks each day and I still have plenty more to do! If you are located around one particular Lake, especially in the southern area it can take longer than this just to leave the lake you are sited and not easy to experience many others.
An added extra to this accommodation is the friendly 10 year old girl next door. She has become a holiday friend to my boys and loves to kick a ball about on the back garden when we have returned from our day out. She is not intrusive, extremely polite and obviously knows that not all guests want a holiday friend, but for us she is another reason why we intend to return to orchard house for years to come.
If you want family space, clean and well cared for accommodation within easy reach of many Lakes and the Eden Valley- Orchard House is a great find!
Thank you very much for the kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2013!

That's a fair but lacking description of the festival, but
only because the programming isn't bounded by much other than the
desire to explore. MusicNOW has showcased numerous flavors of World
music, often new avant Chamber/Classical works, a "who's who" of the top
names in "Indie" music (Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent, The National, Bon
Iver, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear), a few legends (Philip Glass, Kronos
Quartet) and newer and/or more obscure artists, meshing together to
offer Cincinnati music fans (and the many who come in from out of town) a
truly unique musical experience. Sold out audiences have seen
one-off performances and collaborations, including commissioned
works and world premieres.
Below is a sampling of some of the artists featured this weekend — though with MusicNOW's encouragement of experimentalism, take it as merely a surface introduction. The artists will more likely go beyond any pigeonhole you can come up with, which is the best thing about MusicNOW.
• Tonight's kick-off is headlined by Anti- recording artists Tinariwen, a Malian ensemble whose creative North African sounds resulted in a Grammy in 2012 for its fifth album, Tassili. Read CityBeat's interview with Tinariwen founder Ibrahim Ag Alhabib (via translated email exchange) here.
Here's the official video for Tassili track "Iswegh Attay" (with translation!):
• Arcade Fire member Richard Reed Parry has been a part of several MusicNOW festivals, composing commissioned works and playing with bands like Little Scream and Bell Orchestre. This year, Reed Parry will perform the songs of his Indie Folk project, Quiet River of Dust. The project made it's live debut at the National-curated All Tomorrow's Parties fest in the U.K. late last year (where Reed Parry performed three very different sets) and a recording is presently in the works. A review from the music blog Let's Get Cynical described it as "a quirky and engaging performance – the first song I hear is about a boy who gets lost at sea and turns into a fish, if you want some sort of indication of what we're working with. The fact that this is the trio's first ever show also highlights ATP as the kind of festival where you get to see things you don't get anywhere else." Kinda like MusicNOW.
• Rounding out tonight's opener is Buse and Gase, the Brooklyn duo of Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez, who make trippy avant grade music on various handmade instruments. The group name actually comes from two of those instruments — the "buke" is described as a "six-string baritone ukulele" and the "gase" is a guitar/bass guitar combo.
Here's Buse and Gase's official clip for the tune "General Dome."
• Saturday's headliner is MusicNOW 2013's most known performer, Glen Hansard. The Irish singer/songwriter began catching attention as a member of the group The Frames, then broke out on his own and won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" in 2008 for "Falling Slowly" from the film Once, in which he also starred. Hansard's first solo album, Rhythm and Repose, was released last summer on the Anti- label (album bonus track "Come Away to the Water" was, oddly enough, covered by Maroon 5 and Rozzi Crane on the soundtrack to the blockbuster film The Hunger Games).
Here's the video for "High Hope" off of Hansard's solo debut.
• Saturday will also feature the performance of new works composed by Dessner, Reed Parry and Serbian composer Aleksanda Vreblov. The new pieces will be performed by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, which has collaborated with everyone from the New York Philharmonic and Cincinnati native (and Jazz piano master) Fred Hersch to Lou Reed, Barbara Streisand and Talib Kweli. The organization works often with composers on new pieces.
Here's a clip of Dessner working with the Chorus on the piece "Tell the Way" in 2011.
The Chorus will be joined by young string ensemble The Ariel Quartet, which formed in Israel and moved to the States in 2004. Last year, the group was named "quartet-in-residence" at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. The quartet has won numerous international awards for its work and has performed all over the world. Also lending a hand with the new works is Shara Worden of MusicNOW vets My Brightest Diamond.
Below is a clip of the Ariel Quartet performing Mozart.
• Last year, music now featured pioneering composer Philip Glass. This year, Steve Reich plays the role of "legend" on the bill. The Guardian's Andrew Clements once wrote that "There's just a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history. Steve Reich is one of them," while many others consider Reich one of the world's greatest living composers. Reich's experiments have been fearless and creatively fruitful and influential, be it his early work with tape loops or his interactive "Clapping Music," a 1972 piece performed entirely with handclaps.
Reich will join Sō Percussion for a performance of that piece and more, including a new commission from Daníel Bjarnason (the annual Esme Kenney Commission, named for a young student from School for Creative and Performing Arts student who was murdered in 2009). The Brooklyn-based modern percussion group (featuring Eric Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski and Jason Treuting) formed about a decade ago around the collective influence of pioneering NeoClassical experimentalists like Reich, John Cage, Kronos Quartet and others. Sō has commissioned works from numerous composers and has also been acclaimed for its own compositions. Outside of the modern Classical world, the ensemble has collaborated with artists like Medeski, Martin and Wood, Matmos and Dan Deacon.
Here's a cool mini-documentary from PitchforkTV about Reich and featuring Sō Percussion.
The three days of music are held at Memorial Hall, next to Music Hall, but this year there will also be an art exhibition at another great, vintage Over-the-Rhine venue, The Emery Theatre. An exhibit of works by Nathlie Provosty and Jessie Henson will be up at the Theatre Friday, 4-7 p.m., Saturday, 12-4 p.m. and Sunday, 1-7 p.m. Bryce Dessner will perform at a "gallery party" on Sunday 4-6 p.m. The Emery happenings are free and open to the public.

MidPoint News and Updates: Are you ready for some MidPoint! The MPMF.12 kick-off celebration takes place TONIGHT. The pre-party is in The Hanke Building on Main Street in Over-the-Rhine. Entrance is down Michael Bany Way, just across from the 12th and Main streets intersection. The party starts at 6 p.m. with a set of "MPMF mash-ups" by local DJ Ice Cold Tony. Always amazing local rockers 500 Miles to Memphis perform at 9 p.m. The kick-off shindig is free and open to everyone of drinking age (even if you think MPMF is "killing teh scene!"). There will also be free Vitaminwater and Eli's BBQ; one lucky attendee will also go home with free VIP tickets to see The Afghan Whigs' New Year's Eve concert at Bogart's.
Here's an early classic from 500 Miles to get your psyched:
The MidPoint Music Festival countdown is down to just one day. Yup, starts tomorrow. Here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
Chain and The Gang (Washington, DC)
Dinosaur Jr. (playing Friday on the Grammer's/Dewey's Pizza stage) isn't the only MPMF band that was influencing today's music-makers beginning in the '80s. Ian Svenonius made his name with influential DC bands Nation of Ulysses and The Make-Up, wiry Punk Gospel group that he led with the possessed, wild-eyed intensity of a Southern Baptist preacher gene spliced with James Brown and Iggy Pop. His presentation of the "Gospel Yeh-Yeh" in clubs worldwide proved his reputation as one of Indie Rock's greatest frontmen, night in and night out. Svenonius' religious experience may never die; whenever a project ends, he simply finds new parishioners to help him spread the gospel and carry on.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: Nation of Ulysses, The Make-Up, Weird War. (Mike Breen)
Chain and the Gang performs Saturday at midnight at MOTR Pub. Here's a video for the band's "Certain Kinds of Trash":
The Ridges (Athens, OH)
Orchestral Indie Folk
This Athens, Ohio-based Orchestral Indie Folk troupe has built a solid following in Cincinnati thanks to repeated show dates in town, including providing highlights at a few past MidPoint Music Festivals. So they're not exactly a "sleeper" (because I've seen them and they're great), not exactly a "Local Lock" (though their ties to Cincinnati run deep) and merely on the verge of being Big Shots. Regardless, you won't be disappointed should you add them to your MPMF.12 itinerary. The Ridges — who perform in different configurations, depending on which members are available (including string and horn players) — are currently prepping a full-length album (recorded here in Cincinnati), so fans may even get a few new songs
Dig: Soulful, acoustic Folk Rock that builds into emotive orchestral swells. (MB)
The Ridges perform at Know Theatre on the Biore Strip at 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Here's a special video the band made just for the occasion, shot on a rooftop in OTR:
The Grey Academy (Cincinnati, OH)
Indie Rock
Cincy singer/songwriter Josh Hill first came to attention with his band Ellison, which introduced the region to a songwriter with impeccable chops for someone so fresh to the local music scene. The band's wonderfully crafted Pop/Rock started earning Hill attention both locally and beyond, but in the midst of it all, the songwriter began writing different, darker songs that reflected his changing listening habits, which veered into the still catchy yet less calculated sounds of bands like Bloc Party, Interpol and The Killers. Hill has shown that his skills weren't limited to Ellison's instantly hooky style; with The Grey Academy, he brings the same sensibilities to a less predictable, more moody brand of Rock.
Dig: Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, Death Cab for Cutie. (MB)
The Grey Academy plays MidPoint Saturday, 8 p.m. at Main Event. Check out the band's "In Stride":

The MidPoint Music Festival countdown is down to just 3 days, kicking off this Thursday. Here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
Freelance Whales (Queens, NY)
Baroque Indie Electro Pop
Frontman Judah Dadone founded Freelance Whales in 2008 and recorded much of the band's lauded, self-released debut album from late 2009, Weathervanes (reissued by Frenchkiss and Mom + Pop in 2010). The band not only scored a lot of fans based on the album, but also a ton of licensing (for a variety of films and TV shows). The band's consistent international touring, external exposure and word-of-mouth PR has built anticipation for its new album, Diluvia, to a fever pitch. The LP is set for an Oct. 9 release (MPMF serves as the opening date on the band's tour behind the record). Freelance Whales' mix of electronic sounds and Chamber Folk ideals has led them to be compared to everyone from The Postal Service to Sufjan Stevens.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: Sufjan Stevens making a Postal Service album; Postal Service making a Sufjan album. (Mike Breen)
Freelance Whales (their name, if you're wondering, was inspired by the huge amount of "freelancers" working in NYC) performs Saturday in Washington Park at 7 p.m. (taking the slot vacated by Sleigh Bells). Here's a new track from Diluvia, "Spitting Image."
Leogun (London, UK)
Rock & Roll
With "big breaks" today mostly coming in the form of internet exposure, London trio Leogun's big-time entry into the music biz was decidedly old-fashioned. Singer/guitarist Tommy Smith snuck into an Eagles of Heavy Metal show in London and met an industry heavyweight who introduced him to Elton John's Rocket Music Management. From there, the band became the first band signed to instrument-maker Yamaha's new record label. Leogun went to Nashville to lay down some of their timeless, passionate Rock & Roll, the first results of which are set for an EP due Oct. 16 (a full-length is planned for 2013). Leogun's transcendent take on vintage Blues-inspired Rock & Roll is strong enough to earn them one the "bands most likely to return soon for an arena show" awards from this year's MPMF.
Dig: Wolfmother, Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age. (MB)
Leogun performs at The Drinkery Saturday at 12:30 a.m. Here's the band's new single and video, "Let's Be Friends," which just premiered on MTV.com.

MPMF news and musings: Three-day wristbands are running low (get 'em here now, quick-like). If you miss your chance (or are broke like me), there are ways to win freebies. (It's the luck of the draw, so don't bank on it, but definitely worth a shot!)
The fine folks at local club conglomerate 4EG (which operates The Pavilion, The Lackman, Keystone, Righteous Room and several other bars around town) is giving away 10 MPMF 3-day passes. Click here for details. And seek out the CityBeat booth at Oktoberfest this weekend, harass our employees and sign up for s chance to win a pair of fancy-schmancy VIP tickets. (You can find the official Oktoberfest guide in the CityBeat on streets right now.)
And now, with the countdown down to just seven days, here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
Laetitia Sadier (France)
Indie Rock
Fans of French Post Rock favorites Stereolab need no introduction to Laetitia Sadier. She was the co-founder of Stereolab and also founded Monade in the mid '90s. Along the way, she was also a frequent collaborator, working with everyone from The High Llamas and Blur to Common and Mouse on Mars. In 2010, Sadier went solo, releasing The Trip on Stereolab's U.S. label, Drag City Records. This summer, she followed up the record with Silencio, a dynamic album that runs from lush, orchestrated pieces to quirkier electronic Pop to warm Tropicalia, all driven by Sadier's trademark sensual coo.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: Nico, Jane Birkin, Stereolab. (Mike Breen)
Laetitia Sadier performs at the Contemporary Arts Center on Thursday, Sept. 27, 11 p.m. Here's her new video for the Silencio tune "Find Me the Pulse of The Universe."
Denney and the Jets (Nashville, TN)
Blues Rock
Denney and the Jets may be one of Nashville's most mysterious bands. A Google search reveals almost no biographical information about them, just plenty of references to the quote on their Tumblr page. ("One warm night in July an angel came to me and said, 'There is nothing I can do for you. Nashville is dead and so is Rock 'N Roll.' "), which brings up an interesting question: Do you need to know anything/everything about a band to enjoy their music? As far as Chris Denney and his Jets are concerned, the answer would seem to be a resounding "Hell no."
UPDATE: Since the official guide went to press, we dug up (i.e. got a press release with) info on the group. From their PR:
Frontman Chris Denney began writing songs in the Spring of 2008, recruiting Wes Traylor (Natural Child), and Jake and Jamin Orrall (of JEFF The Brotherhood) to be the very first of his Jets. After each member parted ways to pursue their own individual careers, Chris signed on Daniel Pujol (eponymously of PUJUOL) and Joe Scala. After Pujol's departure, Denneysolidified the lineup by adding longtime friend Sean Cotton on lead guitar, Joe's little brother Evan Scala and most recently bringing in Ric Alessio on keys and sax. Denney and The Jets have turned songwriting into a full realized communal process and have grown in to one of the South's finest.
After releasing a 7" single and EP (a limited Cassette only release) on JEFF The Brotherhood's Infinity Cat Recordings, the band returns with their new 5-song Self-Titled EP on Miami, FL-based label Limited Fanfare Records -- Recorded in the Spring of 2012 with Producer/Engineer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, The Parting Gifts) -- with "Close The Blinds" recorded at Cleft Music by Nashville legend, Loney Hutchins. The result is an insanely fiery batch of tunes that Nashville Cream calls "[Straight-up rock and roll music] — not bastardized, compromised, corrupted or contaminated."
Dig: Bob Dylan and Paul Westerberg get drunk on bathtub gin and listen to Chuck Berry and the Beach Boys. (Brian Baker)
Denney and the Jets play MidPoint on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 11 p.m. at the Cincinnati Club. Dig the vintage swagger on this track, "Fun Girls."
Jody Stapleton and the Generals (Cincinnati, OH)
Indie Pop
Jody Stapleton has always had an ear for the past and a finger on today's pulse. With the Stapletons a decade ago, Stapleton made Psych-fueled Garage Rock that sounded vaguely phase shifted from another time and yet completely fresh, a talent that earned them CEA awards for Best New Act and Rock Band of the Year in 2001 and 2003 respectively. With his new outfit, Jody Stapleton and the Generals, Stapleton is similarly tapped into bygone days, this time the sunshine-on-your-shoulder days of '70s AM radio Pop, combined with a modern sensibility and approach.
Dig: Paul Westerberg listening to a transistor radio tuned permanently to 1973. (BB)
Jody and the Generals perform Thursday, Sept. 27, at Main Event, 11 p.m.. Here's a few tunes from the band's recent debut release.
Click here for full MPMF details via the official MidPoint site.
MPMF news and musings: The official MPMF.12 "Kick Off Celebration" is set for Wednesday, Sept. 26, in the Hanke Building just off Main St. (215 Michael Bany Way, between 12th and Reading). The free, open-to-all (21-and-up) party starts at 6 p.m. and will feature music from DJ Ice Cold Tony (who will be laying down some mash-ups featuring MPMF artists) and great Cincy rockers 500 Miles to Memphis will blow the rest of the roof off with a set starting at 9 p.m. There will be giveaways, free Vitaminwater, free Eli's BBQ (while it lasts) and a chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to the CityBeat-sponsored New Year's Eve blow-out at Bogart's featuring music by The Afghan Whigs.
And now, with the countdown down to just 8 days, here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
Tennis (Denver, CO)
Indie Pop
It's been a breakthrough year for Colorado Indie trio Tennis, starting with the winter release of its stellar (and highly anticipated) sophomore full-length, Young and Old, on Fat Possum Records. After touring its comparatively lo-fi, critically-lauded debut Cape Dory (crafted by core duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley), the duo took its vintage Pop songs into the studio with The Black Keys' Patrick Carney, who helped give the songs a more direct punch (resulting in the addition of a drummer to the fold). Where acts like Best Coast and Jesus and Mary Chain rewire the classic Pop of the '60s, Tennis write songs that often recall the ballads of '50s Pop, something more evident and effective on Young and Old, which charted well and performed exceptionally at college radio. The band's songs have been used on TV shows like Grey's Anatomy and are becoming favorites in the fashion world, and they've also made a fan out of the Republican (one of "the good ones") daughter of an almost-President, Meghan McCain, who tweeted her joy that Tennis had become the soundtrack to her summer this earlier this year.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, the house band for Mad Men (if they had one). (Mike Breen)
Tennis performs at the Know Theatre on the Bioré Strip's Main Stage Saturday, Sept. 29, at 11:45 p.m. Here's Tennis' clip for their swoony tune "Pigeon."
The Bonesetters (Muncie, IN)
Indie Rock
Bonesetters don't necessarily sound like a lot of bands but they fit well in the Midwestern construct of talented groups crafting a complex sound out of relatively simple ingredients. Sparse guitar melodies, both plugged and unplugged, are appointed with spartan rhythmatism, unexpected instrumental counterpoints (mariachi trumpet, keening violin, gentle vibes, wheezing harmonium) and a quiet sense of Indie Rock urgency on Savages, Bonesetters' full-length debut from late last year. It's easy to understand why Muncie loves Bonesetters, it's harder to understand why they don't play here all the bloody time.
Dig: Clem Snide, My Morning Jacket and Gomez making high lonesome carnival Surf Rock for emo hodads. (Brian Baker)
The Bonesetters perform Thursday in Washington Park at 5 p.m. Here's the band's debut album, which you can sample below, then download the whole shebang for free.
The Dukes Are Dead (Cincinnati, OH)
Rock & Roll
If you're a local Rock fan who has yet to catch a live show from exciting Cincinnati foursome The Dukes Are Dead, you've missed out on some great shows … and you only have this one more before The Dukes Are Dead are dead. In just a couple of years — first as "The Dukes," before adding "Are Dead" to avoid confusion with the 17,000 other bands with the same name — the foursome amassed a loyal following and even got into theater, becoming the house band for the local staging of "Rock musical" Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Though the band's last show (sure to be a debauched blow-out) is this one at MPMF, there is hope for fans — in their farewell note on Facebook, it was announced that the members will each continue to pursue making music in the future.
Dig: No-nonsense Rock & Roll, bands with names that turn out to be prophetic. (MB)
The Dukes Are Dead's final show is Saturday, Sept. 28, at 8:30 p.m. at The Drinkery. The kind gentlemen of The Dukes are also giving fans some final recorded music as a parting gift — sample below then click on the player to download your free copy of the five-track EP, Before We Died.
Click here for full MPMF details via the official MidPoint site.
MPMF news and musings: ArtWorks/Springboard Cincinnati is once again handling one of the cooler aspects of the "MidPoint Midway" (the fairgrounds-like area connecting Main to Vine streets, with food vendors, a music stage, poster expo and lots more). Last year's MidPoint Music Festival saw the introduction of the "Box Truck Carnival," where numerous local artists and organizations turned nondescript moving trucks into their own little worlds (last year, there was a theater, a skate park and a Putt Putt course).
This year, Springboard is profiling the trucks on its website leading up to the big event next week. So far, they've introduced the Art for All People truck, "Art and Music Box," where you'll be able to add your own creative paint job, and the truck by OTRimprov, which will feature improv games and "on-the-spot workshops" for aspiring UCB comedians (or just the curious). Click here to check out these and other "fun in a box" experiments.
• The other big news of the day is that one of the bigger headlining acts, Sleigh Bells, has been forced to cancel its appearance at Washington Park during the festival. The band was slated to headline the park stage at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. The full lineup for Saturday is up in the air, but will be retooled with additional acts. Expect an announcement soon.
If Sleigh Bells was the only act you wanted to see at the festival and you'd like a refund, here's the official details: "Customers who have purchased the Washington Park Saturday Ticket may choose to either keep their tickets, or may receive a refund by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com by the end of the day Sept. 21st. If you elect the refund, only the cost of the ticket is refunded, not the shipping or service fees. No refunds will be issued for All Music Access Passes."
Sleigh Bells guitarist Derek Edward Miller tweeted that he fractured his arm while skateboarding in Florida recently, causing the cancellation of MPMF and a few other dates.
And now, with the countdown down to just 9 days (single digits!), here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
The Walkmen (New York, NY)
Indie Rock
A dozen years since members of Jonathan Fire*Eater and the Recoys coalsced into the formidable Walkmen? It hardly seems possible. But then, neither does the band's almost supernatural string of confusingly brilliant albums, all crafted by the same line-up that began at the dawn of the new millennium; the sparse, atmospheric jangle of Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone, the intense and visceral Bows + Arrows (featuring their signature "The Rat"), the quiet beauty of A Hundred Miles Off, their weirdly wonderful cover of Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats, the powerful You & Me, the fabulous Lisbon, and their latest, Heaven, widely acknowledged as their best album to date, a phenomenal accomplishment for a band in their 13th year. Long may they walk.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: The Strokes if they'd been guided by Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan if he'd been backed by The Strokes. (Brian Baker)
The Walkmen perform Saturday, Sept. 29, on the Grammer's/Dewey's Pizza Stage at 9:15 p.m. Here is the band's music video for "The Love You Love."
Holy Ghost Tent Revival (Greensboro, NC)
Folk Rock
When a band lists the Rolling Stones and Glenn Miller as primary influences, there's a good chance their musical pegs don't fit the standard genre holes. So it is with Holy Ghost Tent Revival, a North Carolina sextet that redefines eclectic, veering from Ragtime and Hot Jazz to an electric brand of Swing and the kind of funky, rootsy Country Rock that would have made Levon Helm grin and stomp. You don't often see the Charleston breaking out in the middle of the mosh pit, but anything is possible at a Holy Ghost Tent Revival gig. Be prepared.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival performs Saturday, Sept. 29, at Japp's at 11:30 p.m. Here's a preview of the band's just-released album Sweat Like the Old Days.
You, You're Awesome (Cincinnati, OH)
The duo You, You're Awesome has been the Cincinnati Indie music scene's go-to Dance music favorites for the past few years, blending live drums with quirky, playful soundscapes that call back to earlier electronic music pioneers. As EDM and other forms of Electronica have grown in popularity, a lot of artists seem to have a hard time figuring out how to distinguish themselves. But You, You're Awesome doesn't have that problem, emerging with a versatile sound that isn't based on any one trend. The group released several EPs before last year's debut full-length, but YYA is most fun to experience in a live setting. You can dance if you want to — everyone else will be.
