I'm representin' for the seat where Rosa Parks sat
Where Malcolm X was shot, where Martin Luther was popped
from Jay Z – The Ruler's Back Lyrics on Genius
Rosa Parks is famous for violating the rules set against black people in the in the 40s, when she sat in a bus seat. At the time, black could seat but had to stand up if a white person wanted that spot.
Do I really need to tell who Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr are?

Friday's scoring updates of high school football in the San Gabriel Valley, Pasadena and Whittier
Author Archives: Aram Tolegian
PrepXtra Postgame Rewind: La Salle edges PHS in OT, Muir 0-2 but shows well, Arcadia, San Marino and Monrovia all 2-0 …
Pasadena may have lost to La Salle Friday, but the Bulldogs showed a lot in defeat. They showed enough that the rest of the Pacific League, including Muir, should take notice. La Salle also showed some moxie, showing it can withstand a challenge and still come out on top. Speaking of Muir, the Mustangs dropped a close one, 12-7, to Cathedral. And look out for Monrovia, which throttled Bonita, 35-3. San Marino also won big.
La Salle 28, Pasadena 21, OT
PASADENA — Pasadena High School came up short in another step-up game Friday.
But the host Bulldogs managed to put a scare into La Salle, pushing the Lancers to overtime before losing 28-21 in a nonleague game.
Nico Cantos rushed for 145 yards and scored the game-winner with a 12-yard run in overtime for La Salle, which improved to 2-0 and beat Pasadena for the second consecutive season. The Lancers won 28-0 last season.
Jorge Reyna threw for 263 yards and a touchdown for Pasadena, which slipped to 1-1. But his last three attempts were incomplete as La Salle stopped the Lancers on their possession in overtime at the 9.
Monrovia 35, Bonita 3
Asaph Zamora connected with wide receiver Octavius Spencer for four touchdowns and the Wildcats are starting to look like the team that was so dominant during the summer passing league tour.
St. Francis opens with a bang, 41-7 over Chino
Areg Nazarian rushed for 134 yards and three scores as the area's top team looked in mid-season form, routing the Cowboys for the second consecutive season.
1. St. Francis (1-0) def. Chino, 41-7
2. Monrovia (2-0) def. Bonita, 35-3
3. San Marino (2-0) def. Duarte, 49-7
4. La Salle (2-0) def. Pasadena, 28-21, OT
5. Muir (0-2) lost to Cathedral, 12-7
6. Pasadena (1-1) lost to La Salle, 28-21, OT
7. Maranatha (2-0) def. Firebaugh, 49-9
8. Arcadia (1-0), idle
9. Rio Hondo Prep (1-1) lost to Mission Prep, 28-27
10. La Canada (2-0) def. Alhambra, 23-7 (Thursday)

Trib'skin Pick'em … Aram and Fred make their picks …
The game: In this year's Tribskin Pick'em, Aram will I will do it a little differently. We'll pick all games from the SGVN coverage areas of the Tribune, Whittier Daily News and Pasadena Star-News for an all-encompassing, all-out bragging right for 2014, since nobody ever pays the dinner bet. I won last year, ending Aram's two-year win streak.
Aram Tolegian (Last Week: 26-10; Season Total: 26-10)
Fred Robledo (Last Week 24-12; Season Total 24-12)
Last Week: We were off in so many games we thought were sure-bets like Bishop Amat over Santa Margarita, San Dimas over Monrovia, La Habra over El Toro and Baldwin Park over El Monte. Then there were the surprises like La Mirada over Tesoro and La Canada over Verbum Dei. But Aram takes Week 0, getting me with games like Don Lugo over Walnut, Bonita over Schurr and El Rancho over Claremont, to name just a few.
This Week: Look for Bishop Amat to start 0-2 heading to Texas to face an Aledo team that went undefeated last year and already is 1-0. After big wins last week, La Salle and Pasadena could get interesting, but La Salle gets the edge. I also like Los Altos over San Dimas. As good as the Saints are, they're still not quite as good as the best in the SGV. They'll get going again when they get to their Valle Vista and Mid-Valley comfort zone. If Monrovia's plays like it did in the second half against San Dimas, it will beat Bonita. South Hills will likely get stomped by La Habra, and figuring Charter Oak could get crushed by La Mirada too. What do you all think?

Star-News Player of the Year Kyle Leufroy leaving St. Francis for the Bay Area …
Reigning Star-News Player of the Year Kyle Leufroy will leave St. Francis and move to the Bay Area, Knights co-head coach Ray O'Brien confirmed on Sunday night. Where Leufroy will play his senior season remains a bit of a mystery.
Leufroy led St. Francis to its best season in school history. The Knights advanced to the championship game of the CIF-SS Division 3-A playoffs.
He averaged just under 20 points per game in the postseason. He reached double figures in points in 32 of St. Francis' 33 games this season. He scored 20 or more points in 33 games.
Sources say Leufroy will move to Benicia, Ca. and play for a prep school team.
Star-News Baseball Player of the Year Marco Briones makes it official with Utah Valley University …
Alhambra ace Marco Briones is shown here with his parents Veronica and Marco Sr. and Moors principal Duane Russell and baseball coach Steve Gewecke signing with Utah Valley University.
Briones left Alhambra as the school's all-time wins leader with a career record of 30-1. He was the Star-News Player of the Year this past season.
Maranatha hoops lands TWO huge transfers …
Maranatha basketball's ascent under second-year head coach Tim Tucker is about to take a dramatic leap.
The Minutemen have landed two big-time transfers in guard Tyler Dorsey, who left St. John Bosco, and 6-foot-10 center Trevor Stanback, who left Chaminade, to join Tucker's team.
Stanback averaged 9 points and 8 rebounds per game last season at Chaminade. Dorsey, a 6-5 point guard, averaged 21 points per game for St. John Bosco.
"It's a great day for Maranatha basketball," Minutemen coach Tim Tucker said. "We came here to build a program and any time you get kids like that who want to come here and be student athletes, man, it's amazing.
"I don't know where it jumps us (in the SoCal rankings), but I know we'll be heavily mentioned. We have some talented players coming back and if we get everybody to jell, we'll have a productive season. This definitely makes us a team to watch."
Season tickets are now on sale for Minutemen basketball (just kidding).
Former Arcadia football coach Dick Salter passes away at 87 …
(The late Dick Salter in 2011 surrounded by (from top left) Damien coach Mark Paredes, Charter Oak coach Lou Farrar, son and Upland coach Tim Salter, and Bishop Amat coach Steve Hagerty.)
Former Arcadia High School football coach Dick Salter passed away at his Covina home surrounded by his family on Friday. He was 87.
Salter was head coach at Arcadia from 1970-89. In that time he led the Apaches football program to CIF championship game appearances in 1977 and '78. Prior to Arcadia, he also had a long stint as head coach at Cathedral. Salter later won CIF championships as an assistant coach at Bishop Amat and Upland.
Salter is survived by his sons Tim and Tom, and daughters Linda, Karen and Kathie. Tim Salter is currently the head coach at Upland while Tom Salter recently was an assistant coach at Amat and is now athletic director at Culver City. Salter's daughter Kathie is the principal at Charter Oak and married to Bishop Amat girls basketball coach Richard Wiard.
Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Salter was a familiar face at Bishop Amat football games in recent years. He also was close friends with Charter Oak football coach Lou Farrar, who used to visit Salter weekly and go over Chargers game films.
"He was a very good friend," Farrar said Friday night. "It's been six or eight years that I've been visiting him and going over video of our football games. You have to understand, Dick Salter didn't miss anything. He was still very sharp. He was just a great friend."
Among the greats Salter coached at Arcadia were NFL Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews and his brother Clay, and former NFL kicker Mike Lansford. Salter served as athletic director at Arcadia from 1974-92. He played both baseball and football at the University of Oregon and Arcadia named its football field Salter Stadium in his honor.

Flickr: NASA's Supersonic Decelerator
Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD)
NASA seeks to use atmospheric drag as a solution, saving rocket engines and fuel for final maneuvers and landing procedures. The heavier planetary landers of tomorrow, however, will require much larger drag devices than any now in use to slow them down -- and those next-generation drag devices will need to be deployed at higher supersonic speeds to safely land vehicle, crew and cargo. NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) Technology Demonstration Mission, led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., will conduct full-scale, stratospheric tests of these breakthrough technologies high above Earth to prove their value for future missions to Mars.

See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
Hi,I have the Maxi Cosi Mico infant car seat that I use with our stroller. The canopy coverage on this car seat is minimal so I would like to enhance it---would the Rayshade attach on/work with the Mico or does it only attach to stroller canopies?
Thank you!
RayShade's UV Protective Stroller Sunshade is a great accessory to add to your car seat when it's riding around on your stroller -- the Sunshade sits on top of your car seat's canopy and then attaches to the stroller's frame so you can adjust the fit to your preferences. While it's a great fit on a car seat/stroller combo, the Sunshade isn't intended to be used on a car seat when it's in-use in your vehicle.1 of 1

RMI Team Arrives at Plaza Argentina
Posted by: | January 12, 2010
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
This is the RMI team checking from Plaza Argentina.
Today we had a beautiful day, weather was nicer than yesterday (no wind) and everybody arrived at basecamp in great style. At our new home here at Plaza Argentina, we settled in, setting camp and saying goodbye to our mules who have carried the bulk of our gear to basecamp. After a long day that we started very early, waking up at 5:45, we had a succulent stew and went to bed early to recover from our long day. Tomorrow we will rest and work on the food and gear that we will be carrying to Camp 1 the next day.
Now at 21:30 the night's calm, something that didn't happened yesterday. According to descending climbers we passed along the trail, high winds hit basecamp, damaging tents and reminding us that here in the Andes we have to be prepared and do a good job setting camp. We will be reporting more news from Plaza Argentina.

Bodde tips Allen for big future
Allen shone on his return from injury as Swansea drew 0-0 with Bristol City on Tuesday and Bodde, who has only just returned from a lay off himself, expects the Wales international to have a big future in the game. "I can see him playing for a big club in the Premier League within the next few years," Bodde told the Western Mail. "I say that because, if you see Aaron Ramsey play, Joe is no worse than him. "He has got the same skills and I think he has a little bit more than Ramsey. I hope the big clubs come and watch him and give him a big future too. "But he has only just signed a new deal with Swansea and that is good for him at the moment. We play a good style and it will be good for him to get plenty of minutes before making the step up to the Premier League, something he may do with Swansea."

Quantum Leap: what if it had been made 20 years earlier?

Re: Quantum Leap: what if it had been made 20 years earlier?
Since I first saw this thread I have been trying to think of who would have been an appropriate actor to cast as Sam Beckett back in 69.
I was completely stumped until I just had this idea -
Bill Bixby
I am partially basing this on the fact that he also starred in a pseudo-anthology drama
The Incredible Hulk.
Bixby had a similar likable "Every Man" quality which kept viewers interested in mostly new characters and situations each week.
But also he would have been the perfect age in this period. While his role as David Banner was nearly a decade away in 1969 Bill Bixby was still only 36.
He was primarily know at that time for starring in a Sitcom. Which would have been approprate. While QL tended to be drama the role of Sam Beckett often required comedic reactions to the situations he found himself in.

From this article: On Speech Recognition: Web App Integration, Pointers for Newbies, & Lessons Learned from a failed startup:
For all of those thinking of integrating speech recognition into their apps I have a word of advice for you: Don't.
[The] speech rec discussed in this article is the kind that understands short phrases and/or commands with no training required. It's not free flowing dictation like that found in Dragon software. [...]
He reviews some of ways to integrate speech recognition into a web application:
And then describes the main stumbling block for open source speech recognition:
[...] The only real differences between the open source and commercially available solutions lie in what's called their Acoustic Models. AMs for speech rec are like gold. A good AM is produced from several thousand hours of good audio samples.
Interesting article on the Discovery News Website (Why are Speech Recognition and Natural Language Neither of Those?) which says that part of the author's frustration with a telephony speech IVR application was due to his expectations:
[...] The more human the electronic operator sounds, the more I expect from her. When she doesn't perform, my eye-rolling, jaw-jutting, and nose-exhaling ensues. Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori (b. 1927) devised a theory around this phenomenon and calls it the "Uncanny Valley."
It says, basically, that humans will tolerate and even show empathy for artificially intelligent life forms (robots, electronic operators) as long as the machines don't get too big for their britches and start looking and acting all Homo sapiens sapiens. [...]
So what to do? For starters, stop trying to simulate humans, said Bilmes. Keep speech recognition technology on a short leash and use it for applications where expectations are not so high.
He then goes on to give examples where speech recognition makes sense:
Bing 411 is Microsoft's answer to Goog411 (originally discussed in this post: Google Voice Local Search). It allows you to connect directly to businesses for free, and can also give directions (from this article):
The system, which is powered by Tellme, uses speech recognition technology to retrieve results. The free service helps users find a business, or receive a text message with a link to a map. It also includes star ratings of businesses based on reviews from others. [...]
How does it work? Users dial 1-800-Bing 411 (1-800-246-4411) from any phone and give the system the information they're seeking. Bing 411 will give you directions over the phone (you can stop and repeat the directions several times, if needed). Or users can request them via text message.
Dasher, is a mouse interface that allows you to enter text without a keyboard:
Dasher is a text-entry system in which a language model plays an integral role, and it's driven by continuous gestures. Users can achieve single-finger writing speeds of 35 words per minute and hands-free writing speeds of 25 words per minute.
Demo video located here: Single-finger text input
Google has added voice search to the Android platform via the new software update.
Because it was trained on Goog411 (which is currently only available in the US and Canada) Google voice search has difficulty with other accents. Here's a statement from Google explaining why:
The acoustic model for Voice Search was trained, in part, by using data from GOOG-411 which has only launched broadly in the US. Since the acoustic model was trained using mostly American accents, the tool currently works best when receiving queries with American accents. While you can still download the Google Mobile App and turn on the Voice Search here, we've turned off the voice functionality by default when the app is downloaded from anywhere outside of the US. We don't have any specific launches to announce at this time, but we think this is exciting new technology and the speech recognition and understanding will only get better for other accents and jargon as we keep working on it
The New York Times is reporting that Google has added a voice interface to their iPhone search software:
Users of the free application, which Apple is expected to make available as soon as Friday through its iTunes store, can place the phone to their ear and ask virtually any question, like "Where's the nearest Starbucks?" or "How tall is Mount Everest?" The sound is converted to a digital file and sent to Google's servers, which try to determine the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine.
Other similar services:
Google Android has its own speech recognition engine, which is used by their application VoiceDialer.
You can check out the code on http://source.android.com/download
It is licensed in apache license, which is compatible with GPL.
Google is now using speech recognition to make the spoken content of political videos searchable, from the Google blog:
Today [July 14, 2008], the Google speech team (part of Google Research) is launching the Google Elections Video Search gadget [view as a standalone page], our modest contribution to the electoral process. With the help of our speech recognition technologies, videos from YouTube's Politicians channels are automatically transcribed from speech to text and indexed. Using the gadget you can search not only the titles and descriptions of the videos, but also their spoken content. Additionally, since speech recognition tells us exactly when words are spoken in the video, you can jump right to the most relevant parts of the videos you find.
You basically enter your search term, and the search results section gives you a list of videos to select from (most recent first) with number of mentions of the search term. You then select a video and the service highlights approximately where in the video your search term occurred.
This is similar to other services such as:
Jott will have transcriptions of all those jotts (notes) and the sound recordings to go with them.
It seems that Jott will have quite an Accoustic model for later on when they do make the switch from human to machine.
Just a correction to the last poster.
Jott is just a front end to a bunch of people in India who then transcribe a voice message. There is some machine speech recognition I'm sure to handle the routing of the 'jott' but the jott itself is transcribed by people.
It's the best kind of speech recognition available today, the kind done by a human being.

Friday, July 23: Preseason training camp is right around the corner for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys will play in the NFL Hall of Fame game against Cincinnati on August 8, thus starting training camp a week earlier than other teams. Dallas will be with new draftees, Linebacker Sean Lee and receiver Dez Bryant. Jerry Jones was very complementary towards the new players, saying they helped get the contract negotiations started.
Head Coach Wade Phillips added, "Coaching wise, there is nothing more that could help me than to sign those rookies when you have an extra week to work those guys. I thought that was a tremendous step out of Stephen and Jerry got done. That really helps us coaching wise."
Bryant agreed to a five-year deal worth 11.8 million, 8.3 million guaranteed. Lee received a four-year deal with 1.7 million guaranteed. Training camp starts Saturday in San Antonio.

Tacomas are one the most popular trucks in Baja and made in Baja... So, one of the activities can be to visit the California Spanish Missions... which began in Baja (which was California first) and expanded all over the peninsula and eventually came into Alta (Upper) California, which is part of the United States, since 1848.
If you live in California, have you visited the old missions? Did you know there are 21 in California (USA) and 27 in Baja California (Mexico)? The missions were how the Europeans first colonized California by converting the native Indians to the European way of living. That wasn't a good thing for the majority of Indians, specially those in Baja California that were the first exposed to European diseases for the 72 years before the Padres came north to San Diego, and beyond.
The missions were established from 1697 to 1834 (after Mexico won its independence from Spain, 1821). School children in California study and build models of the missions, but only the 21 in Alta California! They are taught that San Diego was the first mission, but it was not. It was the 19th California Mission out of 48 in all.
Learn how the missions came to be built and why, what happened to them and see how they were built in no special order, but randomly as the Spanish or Padres saw fit to pacify an Indian village or establish a farming area.
Each mission is numbered based on the founding date, maps show their location and make it easy to see the order in which they were built in Old California from Los Cabos north to beyond San Francisco Bay.
Over 140 pages, 160 photos and maps... More on our web site including how to order now, and save in September before the book's October release: http://oldmissions.com

Recall Judge Peter McBrien
Please sign this petition to RECALL JUDGE PETER MCBRIEN The grounds for the proposed recall are as follows: Judge McBrien is a disgrace to the American judiciary system and an extreme danger to children, petitioners and respondents. McBrien destroyed a young boy by awarding the father custody after multiple investigations substantiated he had sexually abused the boy. McBrien awarded custody to an abusive mother ignoring medical evidence and graphic pictures showing serious physical abuse to her young daughter. McBrien destroyed trees on public property to improve the view from his home. Charged with a felony, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. After receiving a public reprimand from the Commission on Judicial Performance, he was promoted to the position of family court presiding judge. McBrien has now embarrassed his profession by abandoning a trial in mid-session. McBrien issued a judgment destroying the respondentâ

We love year-end lists -- reading them, making them, arguing about them. BrooklynVegan editors Andrew Sacher and Bill Pearis have once again figured out their favorite albums of the year which you can check out, with commentary, below. Someday we may be able to come to an agreement on an official BV year-end list, but as you'll see there's not a lot of commonality between their two lists. (Specifically, there is zero commonality.) Which is ok! Diff'rent Strokes to rule the world. This year, they've also added their Top 20 favorite songs as well.
Find out what made their lists, below...
First tracks, then honorable mentions, and now Pitchfork has put out their Top 50 Albums of 2014. There's nothing entirely out of left field, but there's definitely some surprises here. Taylor Swift, whose album was not reviewed at all (I guess it was a pretty obscure one), comes in at #31 with her album, 1989. Sun Kil Moon, which was the only 2014 album in their Top 10 Albums of the Decade So Far this past August (and seemed like a sure bet for #1) dropped down to #7 and was beaten out by his enemies The War on Drugs. TWOD actually came in at #3 themselves, and the two ahead of them are two you may not have seen coming.
We already knew that Pallbearer, the only Best New Music metal album of 2014, was an honorable mention, which unsurprisingly left zero metal albums on this list. No other BNM album got snubbed (save for a Hyperdub compilation and the Beyonce album, but that was probably because it was technically a 2013 release), and there's not really any glaring omissions in terms of what Pitchfork appeared to champion this year.
See the list for yourself below...
Pitchfork have begun rolling out their year-end coverage, and today they posted their Top 100 Tracks of 2014. Like every year, it's a very diverse list, with songs from Taylor Swift, The New Pornographers, iLoveMakonnen, Protomartyr, Cloud Nothings, Rae Sreummurd, Makthaverskan, Ty Segall, Parquet Courts, Azealia Banks, White Lung, Perfect Pussy, Dej Loaf, Migos, Alvvays, Against Me!, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, Bobby Shmurda, Charli XCX, Grouper, Beyonce, Perfume Genius, Shamir, Michael Jackson, Tinashe and more. And their #1 seems to be the most ubiquitous #1 of 2014.

Longtime contributing BrooklynVegan photographer Gretchen Robinette shot a bunch of shows for us in 2014, and to wrap up another great year, she's made a list of her favorite photos that she took since January. That's one of GBV above, and you can check out the rest of her favorite pics of 2014 below...

UK music site Drowned in Sound is kinda the British equivalent of Pitchfork, albeit with a very strong community aspect to it. They just published their 50 Favourite Albums of 2014 list and while it contains many of the LPs we've been seeing on a lot of these lists, it's a distinctly not-American point of view. Well, at least their #1. Check out the whole list below...

"Just losing it to Lykke Li at Radio City right now" - Kaan Hiini
"Everyone was on their feet @radiocity for this pop goddess (thank you @lykkeli for an amazing night)" - @daniyrselfclean
"more than a little bit in love with @lykkeli last night @radiocity" - @HAPPYH0LLYDAY
Lykke Li is one of those strange situations that happens now and again these days: someone who's talked about as a pop singer, is sort of presented as such, but in reality is a bit weirder, a bit too idiosyncratic to fully fit that mold. She, of course, has some indelible hooks out there, and who wouldn't want to hear "I Follow Rivers" on a Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall? But it's not exactly a pop show where you're going to go dance your weekend night away. This is especially true now, as Li tours behind her most recent record, I Never Learn, perhaps the best and most thoroughly heartbroken break up album of the year. These are all songs about mistakes made, love lost, and a conflicted take on the past that runs the spectrum from yearning to regret to resolve. I mean, that's how you spend all of your Saturday nights, too, right? [Village Voice]Lykke Li is currently on tour with Mapei in support of her great new album I Never Learn, and she hit NYC this past Saturday (10/4) for a big show at Radio City Music Hall. She played a good deal of the new album, older favorites like "Little Bit" and "I Follow Rivers," included a couple covers -- Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" and one of "Du Ar Den Ende" by fellow (but much older) Swedish artist Lill Lindfors -- and brought Mapei out with her for the final song of the night, "Heart of Steel."
Pictures of the show are in this post and they continue, along with a couple videos and the full setlist, below...

Lykke Li (more by Gretchen Robinette)
U2 just surprised the world with a free new album, and now we're even more surprised to find out that Lykke Li is on there. She tweeted, "Pretty surreal to be duetting with Bono. Listen to these voodoo vibes Xx". Download the album for free at iTunes.
Catch Lykke Li on tour with Mapei, and at Radio City Music Hall this fall.

Outside Lands in it's seventh installment has completed it's transformation from a traditional rock and roll festival to a Coachella of Northern California. What used to drive Outside Lands were bands like Pearl Jam, Muse, Furthur, and Radiohead. Today, the headliners can be some of the quietest parts of the night. It's the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) that rules almost all festivals nationwide. Trying to get anywhere even close to Flume, Tiesto or Duck Sauce was virtually impossible. Luckily, the stage presence of those shows are next to nothing (besides some creepy visuals of satan that Boys Noize provided) so you can be standing anywhere with your friends and have a great time. This should be no surprise to anyone who's attended a festival in the past few years. The crowds are demanding dance music and I'm often being told that rock shows are just plain "boring". Whether that has to do with the increased intoxication at these festivals or just a shift in the popularity of EDM is for you to decide.Outside Lands closed things out with a bang on Sunday as Danielle Haim played drums with The Killers, Flaming Lips covered the Beatles, Patrick Stewart got drunk, and a whole bunch of other sets happened. Those other day 3 sets included Spoon, Cut Copy, Lykke Li, Jenny Lewis and plenty more. Unfortunately, CHVRCHES were a no-show due to border-crossing issues. Pictures of day 3's fun are in this post. Pics from day 1 are here and pics of day 2 are here.The beauty of the music festival lies in it's diversity in music. It will always be heavily weighed on what's trending, but you'll never go to a major music festival without classic hip hop, vintage rock and roll, EDM, and sometimes a little country. What has really started to impress me is the increasing number of female led rock groups." [Huffington Post]
Like we did at Lollapalooza and on OSL DAY ONE (pics) and OSL DAY TWO (pics), we set up in the Toyota Soundwave tent on the festival grounds. On Sunday the activities there included a live interview with Wayne Coyne and 2nd sets from Hiss Golden Messenger, The Bots and Courtney Barnett. Those pictures are in this post too and continue below.
In related news, Spoon just announced openers for their next NYC show, and we're giving away tickets. You can also read about Spoon's last NYC show, a secret surprise one, HERE.

Lykke Li / Courtney Barnett / Blood Orange / Chewbacca
"Ker-plunk!" The first raindrops of the day splash down, but no matter. Courtney Barnett is in the house and delivers a convincing set. The Australian singer-songwriter headlined Schubas two days ago, and now, in front of an audience at least 15 times bigger, she and her trio play a muscular brand of no-frills indie-rock ornamented by nuanced melodies and sharp lyrics. The singer plays hooky little guitar riffs underneath her deadpan vocals, which brim with wit, discontent and slacker wisdom. "I sleep in late, another day/Oh, what a wonder, oh, what a waste." She is definitely not wasting anyone's time here. - [Chicago Tribune]While day one of Lollapallooza 2014 dealt with some rain, computer problems and Blood Orange's unfortunate, unpleasant run-ins with security, for most it was festival-as-usual, with sets from Arctic Monkeys, Eminem, Lykke Li, Lorde, Coutney Barnett, Jagwar Ma, and lots more. Pictures from Lollapalooza Day 1 are in this post.
Billy Jones talking with San Fermin / Rudimental
Meanwhile, BV was hosting interviews and performances over in the Toyota Soundwave Tent. Cohosts James Davis and Billy Jones chatted with CHVRCHES, San Fermin and Vic Mensa and had live performances from Into It Over It and Rudimental. Pictures of that are in this post. If you're going today, stop by to see performances by So So Glos and The Districts, plus Q&As with Cut Copy, Duke Dumont, and PAPA. Schedule is here.
Lollapalooza Day 2 is just getting underway in Grant Park, with performances today by Outkast, Spoon, Jenny Lewis and more. All of those sets can be streamed live if you're not there. More photos from Day 1, below...

There are also apps on AppleTV, Chromecast, Android and other devices. Stay tuned for pics from all three days. Meanwhile, Lollapalooza's full streaming schedule can be found here.
Lykke Li @ MoMA Party in the Garden 2014 (more by Gretchen Robinette)
Lykke Li played a couple high profile shows at iconic NYC spots (MoMA, The Apollo) around the release of her new album, I Never Learn. She's now announced a fall tour that includes another NYC institution: Radio City Music Hall on October 4. Tickets for the Radio City show go on sale Friday (6/13) at noon, but you can get them before with an AmEx presale beginning Wednesday (6/11) at 10 AM, a BrooklynVegan presale beginning Wednesday (6/11) at 11 AM, and a Radio City presale beginning Thursday (6/12) at 11 AM.
All tour dates are listed below...

Lykke Li @ The Apollo Theatre 5/15/2014
The music on Li's first two albums has an inherent danceability, but the Apollo's seats are tight and those who tried to dance in the aisles were asked kindly to stop. Many of the singer's new songs, from her recently released third LP I Never Learn, are modern lighter anthems, the sort of song you enjoy with drowning yourself in a glass of wine rather than spilling a Solo cup of vodka. So the occasional track like "Never Gonna Love Again" (dedicated, fittingly, to "anybody who's had their heart broken"), which has an Eighties-style power-ballad chorus that just begs to be blared on a beach boardwalk, found the crowd merely mouthing along. Eventually, by "I Follow Rivers" the audience found its groove and stood, danced and swayed for the rest of the set. - [Rolling Stone]After playing the very fancy Party in the Garden at MoMA on Tuesday, Swedish songstress Lykke Li played another NYC cultural landmark -- Harlem's The Apollo Theatre -- last night (5/15/2014), part of a quick promotional visit to both coasts around the release of her decidedly somber third album, I Never Learn. ("I have to admit, my new album is a bit of a bummer," she told the Apollo crowd.) While heavy on the new album, she did pepper her set with some of her upbeat hits, including "Little Bit," "I Follow Rivers" and "Get Some." Setlist and pictures from The Apollo are in this post.
Lykke Li is spending most of the summer on the European festival circuit with no word yet on a proper North American tour. Stay tuned. More pics from her show at The Apollo below...

Lykke Li @ MoMA Party in the Garden 5/13/2014
MoMA held their annual Party in the Garden fundraiser Tuesday night (5/13). One of the big social events of the season, it started with a pricey gala dinner, followed by a not-quite-as-pricey afterparty featuring a live set from Swedish singer Lykke Li and ubiquitous DJ Questlove kept the crowd otherwise entertained. At a fancy, celeb-heavy affair like this, the live music is more of a bonus than the focus. That said, the dressed-up crowd were into her 30-minute set which mixed old favorites with songs from her brand-new album, I Never Learn. Pictures from her set and the MoMA Party in the Garden afterparty are in this post.
Lykke Li plays another tiny NYC venue (relatively speaking) -- the Apollo in Harlem -- on Thursday (5/15) which is sold out and one of a few current live dates for her in North America. More pics from MoMA below...

Stevie Nicks came to "CBS This Morning" yesterday (7/11) for an on-air interview, during which she revealed that Fleetwood Mac plan to reunite "next year, so far." "It's the plan. Because that's what we do. I do my thing. And Lindsey (Buckingham is) out doing his thing now." During that interview, Stevie also spoke about the recent suicide of Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch, saying "I can't even tell you what in the world would have pushed him to do something that crazy."
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are both currently on their own solo tours. Stevie hit the NYC area a few times in the past month, including Beacon Theater and she plays tonight (7/12) at Mohegan Sun in CT. Lindsey's tour is ongoing as well, and it hit NYC back in June for a show at BB King's.

Email Tracking in Google Analytics with MailChimp
This is Part 1 of a 2-part series. >> Part 2
The Problem:
You have some data about your email marketing (for example, open rate) in your email marketing software, and data about visits to your site from email marketing elsewhere (namely, Google Analytics).
Wouldn't it be great to see an end-to-end view of all that data in one place? With Universal Analytics and the Measurement Protocol, you can, and I'll show you how, step-by-step.
Today's post will kick things off by looking first at how to track email opens in Google Analytics. My next post will show how to tag a visitor with a unique ID, so you'll be able to track them across devices (like in the image below). Finally, we'll tie it all together so you can see visitor behavior from opening your email to visiting your site and (hopefully!) converting.
The Solution:
We'll use MailChimp - a popular (and free, if you want to play along) email marketing manager to walk you through how to set this up, but you should be able to apply the same steps to any email marketing solution you use.
