Rising: Purity Ring

Purity Ring: "Belispeak"
Purity Ring: "Belispeak"
Megan James and Corin Roddick formed their "future pop" project Purity Ring only a year ago, but the duo have been musically active on their own for much longer. Originally from Edmonton, 23-year-old vocalist and trained pianist James started writing lyrics when she was 16. Twenty-year-old Roddick-- a former touring member of patchy electro outfit Gobble Gobble-- has drummed in various hometown bands since he was 14. But Purity Ring finds both members abandoning their live instruments in favor of stammering beats and pitched-down vocals derived from Roddick's love of Southern hip-hop.
The pair have only released two songs thus far-- the Best New Track "Ungirthed" and "Lofticries"-- but you can listen to a brand new one called "Belispeak" above. The song is to be featured on an upcoming split 7" with dream-pop buddies Braids that's due out October 11 via Fat Possum. On all three tracks, James' ghostly, Knife-like vocals are weaved into Roddick's skittering instrumentals, conveying an emotional and sonic disconnect-- fitting since their process involves Roddick sending his beats to James, who then adds her vocals. (The two live in different Canadian cities now, with Roddick stationed in Montreal and James in Halifax.)
We recently spoke to the duo about their upcoming full-length, Soulja Boy, and making pop music personal.
Rising: Elite Gymnastics

Elite Gymnastics: So Close to Paradise
After reading some Hipster Runoff posts about chillwave early last year, Minneapolis-based electronic-pop duo Elite Gymnastics decided it would be funny to slap a picture of bikini-clad surfer girls on the cover of their self-released Real Friends EP and call their website Psychedelic Surf Club. But anyone expecting to hear laid-back, beach-friendly tunes from this pair is in for a surprise. Instead, Elite Gymnastics make intensely varied, uptempo, and largely sample-based tracks that draw upon everything from jungle and house to Waka Flocka Flame and Korean pop music.
James Brooks, 27, and Josh Clancy, 24, started casually making music on a laptop together in 2008, and have put out a handful of self-released EPs on their Tumblr in the last year, along with a 34-minuted mix called ALL WE FUCKING CARE ABOUT IS KPOP WHITEHOUSE AND OUR CATS. Their forthcoming 12" Ruin is a gussied-up compilation of previously released EPs Ruin 1 and Ruin 2, and it's out early next month via Acéphale. We recently spoke with Brooks and Clancy about feminism, Lil B, K-pop, and "Mad Men" GIFs.
Rising: Youth Lagoon
By Tom Breihan on August 1, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. EDT
Trevor Powers, the 22-year-old Boise, Idaho native who records as Youth Lagoon, came to prominence very quickly after posting his world-swallowing single "July" as a free Bandcamp download a few months ago. The song absolutely does not sound like the work of a single unseasoned young man. It's a massive track, confident and sure-footed in its build from organ-hum to shouting-down-mountains chorus. And it's one of many such tracks on The Year of Hibernation, Youth Lagoon's debut album, which arrives September 27 in North America, via Fat Possum. (In Europe, it'll be out on Lefse.) We recently spoke with Powers about Boise, the Cocteau Twins, and his badass government name. Our interview is below, as are Youth Lagoon's September tour dates.
Rising: Nguzunguzu
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 18, 2011 at 10:15 a.m. EDT
Nguzunguzu: "Spittin 'n Rhythm"
There's a good chance you've heard the work of Los Angeles producers Daniel Pineda and Asma Maroof, aka Nguzunguzu, even if you don't know it. They handled mixing duties on M.I.A.'s Vicki Leekx mixtape that dropped at the tail end of 2010 and Maroof also serves as M.I.A.'s current tour DJ. Vicki Leekx was the capper to a year in which they released two EPs, Nguzunguzu and Mirage, both of which drew from Chicago footwork and house-infused sonic strains of UK bass music, among other styles.
Another apparent influence on the duo is contemporary R&B, which can be found all over their excellent recent mix for online art magazine DIS, The Perfect Lullaby (download it for free here). The mix matches choice cuts from artists like Monica, R. Kelly, and Amerie with the Angolan dance genres of Kizomba and Zouk, displaying a reverence for the source material while also refashioning it in a new and refreshing context. It's a style that can also be heard on their recent promotional mix for a European tour, and it could carry over to Nguzunguzu's forthcoming EP for like-minded NYC producer Kingdom's new label, due out later this year.
Pineda and Maroof met while attending the Art Institute of Chicago, where they became interested in improvisational music and "weird sounds," before joining up again in L.A. and formed Nguzunguzu (which takes its name from a type of wooden canoe prow in the Solomon Islands). We recently chatted with them about their musical backgrounds, M.I.A., the Weeknd, and Vampire Weekend.
Rising: Matthewdavid
By Larry Fitzmaurice on April 5, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Matthewdavid: Like You Mean It
Hazy, texture-heavy producer and Leaving Records co-founder Matthew McQueen, aka Matthewdavid, has been bubbling in the California beat scene for some time now; he just put out an EP, International, on fellow L.A. head-knocker Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, and he's got a full-length, Outmind, ready for an April 19 release on the imprint as well. Listen to the Outmind track "Like You Mean It" above.
After growing up in Atlanta and Florida, McQueen followed a college friend to the West Coast. There, he landed an internship with the Internet radio hub and arts collective Dublab, met folks like FlyLo, and started his own cassette-oriented label, which aims to bring the current tape revival to the instrumental hip-hop scene. We spoke with the producer about his musical upbringing and stealing floppy disks from firehouses:
Rising: Clams Casino
By Ryan Dombal on March 31, 2011 at 1:20 p.m. EDT
Hip-hop producer Clams Casino-- aka 23-year-old physical therapy student Mike Volpe-- just released his first beats tape for free online. But he's been chopping drums for about 10 years, first for fun and then for an increasingly high-profile group of rappers including web sensation Lil B and Soulja Boy. The recent mixtape highlights his signature style, which combines thick, East Coast snare and bass hits with blurry, almost-new-age-y samples. It's an intoxicating sound that recalls singer-producer How to Dress Well's Xanex'd approach to R&B (though Volpe has never heard HTDW's music).
Currently residing in Nutley, New Jersey, Volpe is the son of a musician father and started playing drums at six. After making beats in his spare time in high school, he started messaging MCs on MySpace in 2007 and simply "sent beats to whomever answered." He's currently interning at a hospital full-time and doesn't have any big rap-producer dreams. "I just do it for a hobby," he told me in a recent phone interview.
Even so, his self-titled tape is now being released on vinyl by experimental label Type (Grouper, Jóhann Jóhannsson), and he's got more than 200 in-progress instrumentals taking up space on his hard drive. Some of those will end up on another beat tape he plans to release in the coming months.

Rising: Jamie Woon
By Ryan Dombal on March 15, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. EDT

Jamie Woon: "Lady Luck"
The son of Celtic folk singer Mae McKenna, Jamie Woon first knew he wanted to be a musician after seeing his mom work with bluegrass players at a Nashville recording session at age 15. He then headed to London's star-incubating Brit School-- which boasts grads including Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Leona Lewis-- before "doing the troubadour shtick" at open mic nights around town. But Woon's forthcoming debut album, Mirrorwriting (out April 11), isn't your typical dude-with-a-guitar affair-- it's a moody, beat-based LP that recalls Michael Jackson's smooth 1990s jams filtered through the syncopated snares of Burial, who "guided" Woon toward his current sound.
But the 27-year-old singer makes it clear that he produced Mirrorwriting "start to finish" after working hard to transform his traditional singer-songwriter tunes into more distinctive and twitchy R&B tracks across the last five years. We recently phoned him while he was in the midst of his biggest headlining UK tour to date to talk about Radiohead, Boyz II Men, and dubstep:
Rising: EMA
By Tom Breihan on March 10, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. EST

EMA: The Grey Ship
EMA is Erika M. Anderson, former frontwoman of the California noise-folk band Gowns. That band-- led by Anderson and ex-boyfriend Ezra Buchla-- released only one album, 2007's harrowing Red State, but their intense live show provided enough legacy for any group. According to Anderson, the group "self-destructed" last year (more on that below). And now the singer and songwriter is readying her first solo album, Past Life Martyred Saints, for release on May 10 in the U.S. and June 4 elsewhere via Souterrain Transmissions. Listen to the album's recently Playlisted seven-minute-plus opener, "The Grey Ship", above.
As EMA, Anderson largely does what she did in Gowns; she balances ear-scraping noise with simple, direct folk melodies and bruising, desperate lyrics. But she does it with more focus and assurance now, and the noise only augments the emotional punch of the songs instead of getting in the way. On the album's most damaging moments, she'll repeat a frightening, evocative phrase like a mantra: "I wish that every time he touched me left a mark," "20 kisses from a butterfly kni fe," "I'm just 22; I don't mind dying." And she delivers these leveling phrases with direct, memorable melodies. It's the sort of album that lingers long after you hear it.
We recently interviewed Anderson via e-mail, and our Q&A is below:
Rising: Dirty Beaches
By Ryan Dombal on March 3, 2011 at 1:35 p.m. EST
Dirty Beaches mastermind Alex Zhang Hungtai was born in Taiwan, but he doesn't have a home. Moving from place to place throughout his life due to a fractured family, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter sometimes felt adrift. In a recent phone interview, he described a stint selling real estate in China during his mid-twenties as "a weird displacement upon displacement." And that same feeling can be ascribed to his music, which layers coats of lo-fi grime over tracks that sound like relics from the early days of rock 'n' roll. Many of his songs come off like Elvis Presley relics recorded through the wall of a skeezy motel.
Hungtai started pursuing music seriously about five years ago after moving to Montreal, and has released a few 7" singles leading up to his debut LP, Badlands, out March 29 on Zoo Music. (Listen to album highlight "Sweet 17" above.) Click on to read our Q&A with the singer, who talked about connecting with David Lynch, not connecting with Facebook, and rude interviewers:
Rising: Nicolas Jaar
By Tom Breihan on February 11, 2011 at 5:45 p.m. EST
Nicolas Jaar: "I Got a Woman"
Nicolas Jaar is a New York-based 21-year-old who does a lot of things that young dance producers do-- plays shows in clubs around the world, remixes dance artists, runs a small record label called Clown and Sunset-- but he doesn't really make dance music.
Born to artistic parents, Jaar listened to everything from minimal techno producer Ricardo Villalobos to hip-hop mastermind Madlib to Portuguese fado music, Ethiopian jazz, and Pink Floyd while growing up in Chile and NYC. And on debut full-length Space Is Only Noise, coming February 14 on Circus Company, he works a lush, meditative style that depends more on silence than on beats-- check out highlight "I Got a Woman" above for proof. Pianos, guitars, and voices blur into electronics, all of it melting into a soft, drifting haze somewhere between Air and Portishead. It's a deeply relaxing, satisfying piece of work from someone seemingly way too young to be making music this mature.
We recently spoke with Jaar, currently a comparative literature student at Brown University, while he was gearing up for a show in Berlin. Our interview is below:

SlidesJS is a jQuery content-slider plugin. I am trying to understand the source. I am relatively new to Javascript and jQuery. However, what I am interested in, is this line in the source code:
$.fn.slides = function( option ) {
// override defaults with specified option
option = $.extend( {}, $.fn.slides.option, option );
I understand by the comments that the author intends to merge two arrays, one containing the default values for
option and the other is the
option argument passed through calling the function. However, don't they both refer to the same variable: the argument of the function
It seems to work anyway. What's the magic here?

The Third Ward is a great place to live for three main reasons: Convenience, Community, and History. In the Third Ward, you know your neighbors and they know you. Building community is a way of life here, whether borrowing eggs for a recipe, shoveling an elderly neighbor's sidewalk after a snowstorm, or participating in one of the many block parties and neighborhood gatherings.
The Third Ward is conveniently located. Situated within walking distance of UW-Eau Claire, downtown, and the Water Street area, many Third Warders utilize alternative transportation, such as biking, to get around.
The Third Ward is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Eau Claire and both its architecture and layout reflect this. The Third Ward has a large number of beautiful homes, built before the days of kit houses and cookie-cutter mansions. Walking through you can feel the history which helps promotes a sense of neighborhood pride
Connect with the Third Ward Neighborhood Association on facebook. We love our community and we are constantlty working to make it better every day. The Third Ward hold neighborhoods meetings and events every month, so be sure to check the news and events pages for recent updates to help you stay connected with the us.

It takes a lot to get me to tear up. This did it.
Hell yes!
Fantastic way to start the month.
Thanks for posting that.
They've always had that right. What's wrong is refusing to recognize it.
When this was posted a few days ago over at Colloquy I did tear up. But I can't work up the level of anger you have. The thought process was much more connected to the respect and feeling for this veteran and the point he was making. Maybe it is just me, but I have a lot of trouble turning the essentially positive message about rights and sacrifice to a negative message about some people being bigots. They are almost incidental in this context.
I held it together for most of the video, but when you could see the tears dropping off the end of his nose, I lost it.
Dammit Kitty, now I'm tearing again. Don't do that!
Just, wow.
The tears off the end of the nose always do it for me too.
I'm posting this on my blog right away.
Oh, wait, I don't have a blog.
But this is the kind of thing that makes me want to have a blog.
More veterans feel this way than most people imagine.
Sondra, so start one…
"I love my dead gay son!!!"
Very compelling.
It is moving because of what he says and sad because his attitude is so rare.
George, it was that bit and the part where he talked about what he doesn't tell schoolchildren.
I don't have a Face book page.
Sondra: Google apps web page? A transcript tied to a helium balloon? Interpretive dance on the street corner???
Thanks for posting.
(sobbing) he reminds me of my father.
Happy GLBT month!
I don't get it. This nice, older, gentleman makes a statement regarding equal rights for gays in America, and you all get sappy. Come on, as a gay male, I don't get the sentiment that you are all crying about. Be thankful as gay people we don't have the right to marry. Who wants to be a member of an old institution that hasn't always shown equality for all. Who wants to belong to an institution where people are still thought of as chattle. As a gay man I have the right to leave a relationship when I want and not have to fight for all that crap that I think should be mine. As a gay man, I am free to come and go and do as I please with whom I please and not have to answer to anyone. Gay people, we need to stand up and declare marriage as an institution that needs to be torn down and gotten rid of. Gay people need to unite. We already have equal rights. We just don't think we do.
Well, Scott, maybe your preferences aren't the same as other people's. Whoda thunk it?
Scott? You can do whatever you please.
"As a gay man I have the right to leave a relationship when I want and not have to fight for all that crap that I think should be mine. As a gay man, I am free to come and go and do as I please with whom I please and not have to answer to anyone."

A use for morning glory vines in the pumpkin patch
weirdtrevJuly 29, 2008
I am always looking for a way to cut costs in the garden and I realized morning glory vines make useful temporary rope. Today I found several pumpkin/gourd vines trying to get away from the trellis they were on, so I pulled up a wild morning glory vine and used it as a rope. They work very well to hold the vines in place until the tendrils can do their job. The morning glory vines were flexible enough for me to tie knots without them breaking.

Old Hardy Cemetery
The Old Hardy Cemetery that I know is in Grenada County, Mississippi near the little village of Hardy MS. It is also called the Bowles Cemetery. This cemetery is located on family land on Thomas property in Beat 4 on North Archie Jackson Rd. I have several family members buried there Henry C. Carpenter and his daughter, Eula . My great great grandfather and my great grand aunt who passed away at 11 years of age. This Cemetery has been here since the Civil War because my Great great Great Grandfather Randolph McCreary was buried here dying from measles in Grenada MS in the Civil War.

Hello, I have a question. There is a cemetery - Old Hardy Cemetery. There is a tombstone there for N.C. Carpenter wife of Henry Carpenter. There is no death date on the stone. Do you have any suggestions as to how to go about getting this death date. Any help would be appreciated.

My code seems to bring about some kind of quantum duel state in chrome, invoking a universe where functions turn into
undefined upon being pushed to an array... spooky
I'm building an array of functions using the following code, in order to callback chain them together using this function https://gist.github.com/3609831
console.log "creating stack"
ids = (id for id of @s3) # an array of integers
stack = [callback]
console.log stack
for ssid of @s3
new_func = ((cb) => @idb.load_s3(ssids.shift(),cb))
console.log new_func
stack.push new_func
console.log stack
console.log "stack done"
What's bizarre is that although it actually seems to work; all the function calls with the right arguments seem to be happening, it also get this in the console (with my formatting and comments)
> creating stack
# callback added to array correctly
> [function () { return _this.start(true); }]
# function generated correctly
> function (cb) { return _this.idb.load_s3(ssids.shift(), cb); }
# but the function doesn't get added to the array !!!!!!!
> [function () { return _this.start(true); }, undefined × 1]
> stack done
# and the undefined from the array can't be executed of course, verified my line number
> Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
which seems to mean that although it worked... it also didn't work... because... the new_func turns into undefined upon being pushed to the array...
Anyone got any clues as to what might be happening here?
I'm using chrome v21
EDIT: fyi the @idb.load_s3 function IS in scope and I know it's working because it loads data from indexedDB which doesn't load if any part of this is broken, (and because the callback does fire).
EDIT2: here's the javascript, nothing very different or odd about it, just harder to read
var id, ids, new_func, ssid, stack,
_this = this;
console.log("creating stack");
ids = (function() {
var _results;
_results = [];
for (id in this.s3) {
return _results;
stack = [callback];
for (ssid in this.s3) {
new_func = (function(cb) {
return _this.idb.load_s3(ssids.shift(), cb);
console.log("stack done");
EDIT 3: Just realised that part of the problem is because Chrome's console is presumably asynchronous so it seems the last item is popped off the stack (in code not shown here) AFTER the call to console.log but BEFORE console.log has actually output the array contents!!! So when I don't call the function (see referenced gist) to execute the stack then the rest seems to work fine.
HOWEVER this doesn't solve the mystery of the exception complaining about undefined not being a function (like it's trying to pop undefined from the array and execute it)... still weird!
EDIT #4: load_s3 function is here: https://github.com/gnatters/neuroanatomist/blob/master/app/assets/jax/models/asset_loader.js.coffee.erb#L118 the real life version of the code being questioned here is in the same file in load_everything at #L145

Guest blogger: Anthony Palazzo is general counsel for a private holding in Durham, N.C. Palazzo is also a member of ACC Research Triangle Area.
Few situations are more disturbing to a general counsel (GC) than when a senior executive resigns or is terminated. In today's volatile capital market, it is apparent that people simply do not stay with a particular job as they did in the past.
As GC, you have a standard confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement (NDA). An NDA contains a covenant not-to-compete provision, commonly referred to as a "non-compete," which prevents the employee from working with any company that conducts similar business. However, have you adequately protected your company? Continue Reading

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead
Things move fast in tech. You only have to look back to 2007 for Asus's first netbook, and the start of the miniature laptop revolution. Fast-forward to the latter half of 2010, and the Eee brand is still going strong, as machines such as the excellent 1018P demonstrate.
It's a smart-looking machine. The white Scrabble-tile keyboard is set against a background of machined aluminium, and has a solidity that belies the machine's sub-£400 price. While not a match for the more expensive Nokia Booklet 3G, it doesn't feel much less premium.
Solid build
The textured white underside has little give, but it's a slightly different story with the top. The screen has a fair amount of give when twisted, although we were happy to shove the 1018P's miniature frame into a shoulder bag – at just 1kg you'll hardly notice it's there. Just beware the white finish, which predictably picks up scuffs rather easily.
Performance was delivered to our review model by the energy-sipping Intel Atom N455, running at 1.66GHz. We say 'performance', but predictably the Eee PC 1018P's major sacrifice is the ability to run heavy-duty applications.
There's a minor delay in firing up an internet browser, for instance, and although we gave YouTube's HD channel multiple chances, it still stuttered while running full-screen 720p videos.
Still, it makes a reasonable fist of running Google Docs and relatively lightweight apps such as Skype, the latter helped along by the webcam hidden in the top of the bezel over the TFT.
Small screen
The 10.1in screen is bright, if a little over glossy (good for impressing mates, less good for using the 1018P somewhere well-lit). And, while the 1,024x600 resolution doesn't give you acres of room, it's practical enough for Windows and bright enough to make watching carefully encoded, non-HD video enjoyable.
The good news is you'll be able to watch until your eyes go square. In our battery tests the 1018P ran for 4 hours 35 minutes – certainly respectable, if not quite up to the 8-hour mark achieved by fellow Pinetrail netbooks like the Samsung N220.
Online storage
You'll be able to shoehorn in plenty of video, too. Predictably, the 1018P's price doesn't allow for luxuries such as a solid-state drive (SSD), but 250GB of storage is more than enough for a machine that isn't really powerful enough to run top-end applications.
You also get Asus's WebStorage, which provides 20GB of online storage. This can be upgraded to unlimited storage if you sign up to a premium account (from $5 a month).
The SSD isn't the only missing luxury – a built-in 3G connection would have been ideal. As it is, you'll have to supply your own dongle.
But there are very few drawbacks to this beauty of a netbook. It's not the fastest machine in the world but as long as you're realistic (it's unlikely Toy Story 4 will be rendered on a flotilla of Eee PCs), it works very well. We also like the cut-down, unfussy styling and exceptionally light weight.

The Top Ten
1Imagine - John Lennon
This is for sure the most meaningful song on the list. If you imagine the world that we live in like the world John Lennon is telling us to imagine it like, its perfect. The world that we live in is cruel, full of hate, racism, murder, and war. The world that John Lennon sings is tells us how we should want the world to be. In his song there is world peace, and everyone is living together as one people sharing the world. If you listen to the song and imagine the world how he says you would know that I'm right. R.I.P. John Lennon
It's realistic, overall something people need to realize. It covers violence issue and I don't understand while people judge, this will go into that also, it's more then just a songs it's a meaningful poem about realistic life things.
I cry when I listen to this. The world is filled with so much hate and anger. Even though we think it would be great to have a perfect world it wouldn't. We would never know what happy is and what sad is so we wouldn't truly be happy. I <3 John Lennon
[Newest]This is how the world must be his song is a theory of everything
2How to Save a Life - The Fray
I really love this song. I've suffered with depression for four years and nobody believes that I do so I can't get help. I've thought about committing suicide more times than I can count and this song, as well as music in general, made me want to live. I credit this song with saving my life.
This song has got me through some dark times over the years especially when I want to kill myself and when no one believed nor cared that I was suffering depression. I would put this song on repeat while I slept and in the morning I would feel happy. The lyrics are so powerful.
I absolutly love this song, the lyrics are just so meaningful, anyone can relate to them which ever side you might find your self in, you know exactly what this song is tring to through.
[Newest]This is the most touching song ever!
3Skyscraper - Demi Lovato
She has so much emotions thought all of her songs! She is so amazing. Try listening to her new song called warrior. That's song is so meaningful, it's amazing.
She is AMAZING! She shows so much thought and emotions by simply singing a song, and she pleases everyone with the meaning and true passion she shows. I just LOVE her! :)!
Absolutely incredible. Shes incredible.
[Newest]This song just brings out her true self
4Man In the Mirror - Michael Jackson
It just gives one of the greatest messages of life, "change yourself and the world will look a better place"
JB, what the heck!
Now, to be honest, I was never really a big fan of MJ, but this song is just so meaningful, his best!

[Newest]This is by far the most meaningful song I've ever heard that people can actually listen to without bursting into tears, it's a good tune with a powerful meaning.
5Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
I played this song on the guitar because it's a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very good song.
Although I do agree with Imagine as being number 1 this should defiantly be second, this song is beautiful and full of meaning a master piece I would say.
I can't believe it's only in 42th place. It so beautiful!
[Newest]Beautiful, amazing, and Meaningful
6Earth Song - Michael Jackson
We gotta stop killing things.. And thatz what the song is all about...
Level of awesomeness is at its apex!
Level of awesomeness is at its apex!
The worst part is the fact that we DO know what we are doing, and have done, yet we don't stop.
This song explains how the world is falling apart as we know it, and it's all our fault. Worst part is that we are completely oblivious of what we are doing.
[Newest]It is too awesome LEGEND! WOW
7Hell Above - Pierce the Veil
Pierce the veil really put meaning into their lyrics and express their feelings through songs, I hate it when people put labels such as 'emo or goth or screamo' if they listened to what the music were about then they'd actually understand.
This band makes music that's relatable unlike other artists such a Justin beiber or Nikki minaj, no disrespect but what's so special about the words 'baby baby baby oh like baby baby baby oh' and Nikki's lyrics 'beez in the trap bee beez in the trap' like what do they even mean?
They've helped so many people through so much it's unbelievable and they don't follow society's idea of perfect or normal and that encourages people all over the world to speak up and not be afraid to be themselves and not be ashamed of who they are, in my eyes Pierce The Veil are true idols and heroes...

Pierce The Veil is a very inspiring band. They helped me through a lot in the past and they deserve to be voted. I will never stop listening to them. And for the people who judge rock/metal, it isn't "screamo" you don't even listen to the lyrics. Those lyrics speak out to people who are going through what the song is describing. Don't judge what you don't understand.
Not only is Pierce The Veil an amazing band, they're all really down to Earth. I met them at the World Tour, and they did great live. This song was the opener and it was amazing live. You could tell this song held a special place to Vic (The lead singer if some of you don't know) and that's honestly the best part about the band. It's wonderful knowing these words hold a meaning to them, and that we can all relate to them in one way or another. Never judge Pierce The Veil by their style, they're one of a kind.
[Newest]This song speaks when so many others don't
8Radioactive - Imagine Dragons
The lyrics to this song have so much depth, just by reading them anyone can see the message that is ment to get across. Its intense!
Not only is the message is meaningful, but the song... it's different and great!
Best song depicting a revolution! Just awesome!
[Newest]I think that it's the best song ever and should be number 1
9Wings - Macklemore
This Song is more than beautiful and it shows off how cruel society became. Everybody cares about being popular and rich even though that's totally not important. Great lyrics.
This song is great Becuse what he's singing about is true I've been through things like that and I think it should be a bit higher on the list
I've loved this song for so long and every time I listen to the lyrics of the song it shows me so many point of this century and memories of me trying to fit in and now that I actually have good shoes I notice that they are not why I have friends
10We Are the World - Michael Jackson
One of the most meaningful song I've ever listening to
I listen to all types of music and can't remember one song that brought more people together to sing as one voice for one reason the betterment of every man woman & child on earth
Everyone came together for a meaningful reasoning at that moment nothing mattered about what that celebrity did or what they represents its just that feeling of love that mattered
[Newest]Not surprising but out of the ten most inspiring songs..3 belong to Michael Jackson! Love him!

But as I listen to it more, I realised that bands like them write good lyrics. Some of them help people who are in suicidal.
Amazing song... Should be a lot higher...
19Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
Chillingly beautiful song with a hidden meaning if you listen carefully.
Really takes you to another world
20Kristy, Are You Doing Okay? - The Offspring
21Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA
Anyone that is a parent will appreciate this song and find it hard to hold back the tears.
Another one of Agnetha's masterpieces. She genuinely makes you feel her emotions of a mother's regret at how quickly her daughter is growing up, and the lack of time they were able to spend together. Bravo!
Whenever my mum hears this song it makes her cry! Even though it's 6 years until I'm leaving! :-( I LOVE it!
[Newest]This song is so sad and so meaningful
22Numb - Linkin Park
This song has described me perfectly over the years. "I'm becoming this/All I want to do/Is be more like me/And be less like you" (part of this song's chorus) It has suited me, and it hasn't changed.
What the Linkin Park's most famous song not in the list! It should be in the top ten list..
Dedicate this song to the society put there
[Newest]I love this son
23Into the Sky - Black Tide
24A Match Into Water - Pierce the Veil
Amazing song, the lyrics are so pure and raw. There's no sugar coating, excellent musicians.
25Paradise - Coldplay
Portrays the struggles some people go through emotionally and mentally beautifully, a real well thought out emotional song.
Despite how popular this song is, not many people understand how much meaning there is behind the catchy tune. This song is so beautiful and it really connects to me. The lyrics are on point.
To be honest the best song I've ever heard it's so catchy and so meaningful at the same time.
26Angel - Jackie Evancho
Pretty heavy stuff for the young lady but she melts your heart when she sings it.
This song comes into my head regularly,
Jackie's version is outstanding!
Jackie's version is outstanding!
27Swing Life Away - Rise Against
28Fix You - Coldplay
I love this songs meaning, the love and the passion in it towards trying to fix someones feelings is, well, beautiful.
This song has a beautiful portrayal of wanting to help someone and it has the perfect amount of sadness and hope.
I love this song. I stayed up late and cried to it. It has so much meaning to it 💕
29Can You Feel My Heart - Bring Me the Horizon
This song is very touching and Bring me the horizon is just an amazing band all together. It's definitely worth listening to.
30Youth of the Nation - P.O.D.
This song brings back old memories to me and is a joy to listen to.
31Butterfly - Mariah Carey
32Bite My Tongue - You Me at Six Ft. Oliver Sykes
This song is just so relatable and amazing!
33The Scientist - Coldplay
34Afterglow - Nine Lashes
35How Long Will I Love You - Ellie Goulding
36God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood
37Castle of Glass - Linkin Park
38If Everyone Cared - Nickelback
Nickelback has some really inspiring songs, and this is definitely one of them. I think its a really relatable song. I hope that one day we really can see the day that nobody dies. Amazing song, truly. <3 Thank you for this Nickelback x
The lyrics to this song are just... I can't describe. This song gives me the chill. "If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride. Then we'd see the day when nobody died. "
This song is amazing. The lyrics not only are deep, but have so much depth and emotion. It talks about how screwed up the world, if everyone cared, we really would see a peaceful land. I love this song.
39The Climb - Miley Cyrus
It's a very good song especially for funerals because when I first saw this video clip I thought that she wrote and sung the song because someone she loved has past away.
My mom dedicated this song to me because I've been though so much stuff in my short 13 years. I do NOT get how this song is #34. It sould be in the top 10. It has helped me through so much stuff.
40Invisible Man - Joe Jackson
This is a good song
41Don't Go - Bring Me the Horizon
Amazing lyrics by an amazing band... Just an excellent song.
It reminds me of how all the people I have told my life story too and they just left, sadly. But I love this song sooo much.
42Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
Beautiful, sad and poetic. It really hits the emotions.
This should be number one. As you get older it will move up for you
This should be way higher on the list, it's such a beautiful song.
43Crawling - Linkin Park
44One - Metallica
It's great song instrumentally and it depicts the horrifying effects war can have on a human being.
45Lose Yourself - Eminem
Lyrically amazing, Eminem doesn't waste time and says exactly what he wants to say. His lyrics talk about how hard his life back in Detroit was and how he has one shot to live a better life
This song has gotten me through my hardest times. Eminem definitely knows how to bring the tears out of me in the realest way possible.
Very deep meaning to the song. The words just hits me straight in the heart and mind. Singing about how you have a chance to make things right.
[Newest]Eminem knows how to inspire people, most of his song were sincerely written so that we could feel what he been through and just be ourselves.
46Unthought Known - Pearl Jam
47My Friend - Nine Lashes
48Never Too Late - Three Days Grace
This song is very emotional and touching of course to those that have a heart. It is also very comforting and I can just remember listening to this song when I was very much younger and it can still make me cry today.
49Because of You - Kelly Clarkson
50American Pie - Don McLean
Many people don't realize what event this song refers to, and they don't realize what this song is about, and how sad it actually is.
So many references, which when thought upon, has (to many people) a lot of truth. All of this is beautifully conducted within a melodic song
This song is about the accident of three great singers, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and Ritchie Valens. It's really good!
[Newest]It references to many things that McLean personally experienced and belongs higher on the list for sure.
51I Come Alive - The Used
52Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry
This is such a inspirational song! I love how Rudolf didn't get all depressed and kill him self over all the drama the other deers put him through (: and it made me a little horny, get it? Horny cause reindeers have horns? Teheheheheh
If you are a small little kid, you can still be helpful and be special in a way!
53Too Much Love Will Kill You - Queen
54The Rat - Dead Confederate
55Everlong - Foo Fighters
56Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails
57Human Nature - Michael Jackson
58Chelsea Smile - Bring Me the Horizon
59Stay - Rihanna
One of the very best
60Hear Me Now - Hollywood Undead
61Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
"To her death is quite romantic,
She wears an iron west,
Her profession is her religion,
Her sin is her lifelessness. "
I dig MJ, but he is by far not as good poet and writer as Mr. Zimmerman.

62Demons - Imagine Dragons
All those songs above really have meaning and I love most of them. But this one here, it just holds the most meaning. This should be a lot higher, maybe even number 1. Most meaningful song ever.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
Depressing yet beautiful lyrics. It speaks the truth.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes

Depressing yet beautiful lyrics. It speaks the truth.
The world zones out when this is on. I can't understand why this is so low, the feels start running and I have to stop everything and listen to the lyrics, it's like they are personally written for me and everyone that listens to it.
This song shows how humanity has fallen and he wants to protect the one he loves from it, but he admits that he is just like everybody else; greedy, sinful, so he tells his lover not to get too close, for his lover is innocent.
63Jennifer Lost the War - The Offspring
64Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
65Redemption Song - Bob Marley
This song is great because it talks about the struggle that some people went through
66Time - Pink Floyd
And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around
To come up behind you again
The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death
Extraordinary Lyrics, time passes us by and we don't even notice it
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun

To come up behind you again

In a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death
Extraordinary Lyrics, time passes us by and we don't even notice it
This song always makes me cry! The lyrics are so mesmerizing, that sometimes I reflect upon myself and think of all the time I wasted in my life. Guitar solo also rocks!
This is an extraordinary song by an extraordinary group. Hey You is also a very very meaningful song too.
[Newest]This song really shows how your mind will chase what it can't have, and also shows how fast time flies!
67Changes - Tupac
43 ONLY! Tupac is the father of Rap and this song conveys such a STRONG message. You don't have to like rap to like this song, it's absolutely AMAZING. KILLUMINATI
This is an incredible song describing the faults in the world and changes we need in order to correct these faults. I hope people listen to this song and begin to understand where he's coming from. Its also just a really nice song to listen to in general.
68Drops of Jupiter - Train
This song is so beautiful, the lyrics are perfect
This song is just altogether beautiful. I could listen to it all day.
69That Should Be Me - Justin Bieber
It's in no way meaningful, nor is it a good song. Sorry to the Bieber fans..
Such a good song. Ok goodbye
70Killing In the Name - Rage Against the Machine
Okay really number 71? This song is amazing.
71Down to Earth - Justin Bieber
Justin shouldn't be on this list.
"and you can see the look on my face, it just tears me apart."
I don't know about you but this line gets me every time.
I don't know about you but this line gets me every time.
It made me cry and I never cry
72It Can Wait - Illy
73Skyfall - Adele
By Adele I love it
74Same Love - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Such a touching, meaningful song
Changes a persons views, and to think a rapper put his career on the line to send this message out, so touching.
75Hey John, What's Your Name Again? - The Devil Wears Prada
76Outside - Hollywood Undead
77Shelter from the Storm - Bob Dylan
As with all Dylan cuts you can interpret this one however you please. I feel that throughout life you can reflect on each verse as a season of your live and attach it to a very sentimental memory.
Such a touching song, I think it means a lot to me at least. It shows that people should always be kind to others. In times of need you should always reach out.
78In the End - Linkin Park
One of the most meaningful songs of all time...
How come it is not in the list?
The list is a crap without this song
How come it is not in the list?
The list is a crap without this song
For the one that try so hard in something, you will always get what you wanted. What comes around will come around
79Fiction - Avenged Sevenfold
80Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
81Ordinary World - Duran Duran
82Hero of War - Rise Against
First song I ever heard of the group. At the time, I wanted to discover new music so I listened to like 5 bands before Rise Against, and I didn't really like none of them. But when I listened to this song, I instantly fell in love with the group. It is as well written as it is well sung.
This song has such a beautiful and strong but sad message. It breaks my heart. Hearing how strong and how into the song the lead singer gets just tears me apart. He connects with the song on a level you can't even imagine.
Are you kidding me?! Justin Bieber comes before this?!?!
83Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
84Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
85Figure 09 - Linkin Park
86Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan
87Patterns - Simon & Garfunkel
All the words are so perfectly true, and yet the the song is still relitively unknown. How ever hard ou try yo be you, life and time still beats you.
88In My Life - The Beatles
Beautiful song, nice meaning.
89The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
I can listen to this song while playing dota 2. Very meaningful song. I just want it to have some attention it deserves.
If this is this far down the list that means that noonehas really stopped to disasemble the lyrics
" Hello darkness, my old friend..."
" Hello darkness, my old friend..."
90Zombie - The Cranberries
Simply amazing. It's all about war and its effects and how it has affected humans, how it breaks children. The world, in short. One of the songs with meaningful lyrics and good instrumental.
Really sad song about the war in Ireland
91The Light Behind Your Eyes - My Chemical Romance
92Secrets - OneRepublic
Absolutely amazing! One Republic put emotions into words in the best of ways
93We've Had Enough - Michael Jackson
94Will You Be There - Michael Jackson
95Keep the Faith - Michael Jackson
So groovy yet has a lot of motivation in this song... Never gets old!
96History - Michael Jackson
97The Weight - The Band
98Ever After - Marianas Trench
My favourite band ever. Josh has been through so much and whenever I see them live, I can just see the pain in his eyes and can hear it when he sings certain songs. Lover Dearest and Skin and Bones should be here too.
99Something In the Way - Nirvana
100Con Te Partiro - Andrea Bocelli

Dogs and drug addicts
Posted Nov 21 2008 4:27pm
Six emergencies; one conveyed and five taken by ambulance.
After a few false starts I was off to a train station first aid room for a 38 year-old pregnant woman who had collapsed on an incoming train. Ironically, I had been sent this call earlier (when she was on the train) and it had been cancelled – it was a low-priority Green call at that time. Now it was a category A, Red call. All moot, however – when I arrived on scene an ambulance crew were already attending and I wasn't required.
My next call didn't take much skill either - a 21 year-old fitting in the street with a warning on the log that there was
'an altercation'
at the scene. I called in and asked what this meant exactly and requested police just in case. I thought I might be driving into a fight. It turned out to be nothing more than the patient's friend shouting at him while he was fitting. He told me that his mate had taken longer than usual to recover and it worried him, so he had raised his voice as he became more concerned. I found them both walking along the street – the patient was still very groggy and needed to be propped up and encouraged all the time. He kept wandering off in the opposite direction to the one we needed him to travel in, so he had to be led into the ambulance like a sheep to a pen.
It was a good few hours before I received my next call and I had a nice long break at the station, which included
food for a change.
An emergency call to a local park for a 30 year-old female who had overdosed. The parks around Bloomsbury are frequented by drug addicts and nothing much is done about it. The same parks are shared with tourists (who probably lose faith when they see the mess) and children, who play on the slides and swings, oblivious to the human tragedies and associated paraphernalia surrounding them.
I arrived just after the motorcycle solo and found him on his knees on the grass, supporting a thin woman's breathing by 'bagging' her. A thin man (they are all thin; they don't eat) was crouched over her and he was fussing (they all fuss when their habit goes horribly wrong).
The woman had overdosed on heroin, which is no surprise – it's the drug of choice around these parts. The MC paramedic had his hands full just keeping the woman alive because her breathing was so depressed she would not last more than a few minutes without support, so I got on with drug administration. She needed Naloxone, or Narcan (
tidote) to reverse the effects of the opiate she had taken.
I couldn't find a vein – it's usually difficult to do so with habitual IV drug users, so I gave her the first dose by intramuscular injection in the thigh. I knew it wouldn't work as fast and may be completely ineffective but it was a start and would buy us time while I looked for a better IV site.
Meanwhile the overpowering smell of dog crap was getting to us. I thought I might be kneeling in it. She was certainly lying in the stuff and the thin man didn't seem bothered but I found myself looking around identifying all the little clumps of poo from various visiting mongrels so that I could mentally 'map' my way around them should I have to move about. The smell remained in my nostrils throughout the entire episode with this woman.
The police turned up as we were treating her and the thin man was pulled away so that he couldn't annoy us while we worked. He had been very irritating and at one point had shown us the syringe and needle that had been used for this potentially lethal injection. I asked him to give it to me so that I could dispose of it but he simply snapped the neck of the thing and the needle fell off into the grass. He didn't care a jot that some poor unsuspecting kid (or dog) might stick himself/herself/itself with the promise of HepB or HIV. He didn't give as toss quite frankly.
I found a suitable vein; it was less rigid than the others and had enough patent length to support the catheter from an 18g cannula, so I went for it. It went in without any problems and I got a drop of blood on my kit for my trouble. I would have to remember that and ensure I cleaned it up afterwards.
I gave the thin woman another 400mcg of Narcan, this time IV and the miracle of her recovery took place within minutes. Her breathing improved and she began to respond.
'Hello, I gave you something to spoil your trip. You've wasted your money', I said.
She started to talk to the MC paramedic and was making sense (kind of) by the time the ambulance crew arrived to take over. The police were neutral about her life being restored and there is a part of me that felt the same, I'm sorry to say. She will do this again and again at our expense until she kills herself. There were kids playing in the park only feet from where she had taken her hit with her skinny mate. She would have died on the grass, surrounded by dog mess in full plain view of the local children. It's sickening.
I checked my boots and clothes for tell-tale brown or yellow (or green) goo and found nothing but my nostrils wouldn't repent and I had to bear the smell for a few hours after the job. The smell of vomit would be heaven after this I thought.
As I was leaving the park a young boy came up to the car to ask what had happened. I told him a drug addict had pushed her luck and asked him what he thought of drugs. He told me he knew what went on but that he and his friends ignored it and just got on with playing football.
'I'll never do drugs', he said, 'all I want to do is play football.'
I hope he keeps his word or he will end up in the park with his skinniest friends.
Then this unusual RTC involving two vans and a motorcycle. One of the vans (the blue one) was being towed when it snapped loose at a bend and careered into a private ambulance waiting at the traffic lights. A motorcyclist was also waiting at the lights, on the inside. He became sandwiched at speed between the blue van and the ambulance. The force of the impact crushed his bike, throwing his top box up into the air, after which he followed.
When I arrived plenty of police were already on scene and one of our motorcycle solos was dealing with him. He had escaped with only minor injuries to his leg and was able to put weight on it. Another lucky escape I think. The ambulance driver was also unhurt.
Tall, thin people are prone to
spontaneous pneumothorax
as a result of simply stretching or coughing. Most of the time it is left alone to repair itself but everyone suffering one of these events should go to hospital in case it develops into something more dangerous.
My next call was to a 52 year-old ex-police officer who had coughed and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest whilst on his way up the escalators at a tube station. I found him standing, looking very uncomfortable and with shortness of breath, beside a newspaper stand on the main concourse of the station. After a quick exam and a few questions I asked him his height and he told me he was six feet two inches tall and, although he wasn't particularly thin, his symptoms fitted the bill for SP. He also told me he was an asthmatic and had tried his inhaler with no effect after his breathing began to deteriorate.
I gave him oxygen and the ambulance crew wheeled him to the ambulance. He'll be diagnosed and treated, depending on the severity of his condition.
Finally, a 71 year-old with a pacemaker and high blood pressure who fainted and fractured her wrist. She had an obvious deformity with bruising and swelling at the site. It was, of course, very important to establish why she had fainted in the first place, so her pacemaker and general health would need to be checked. She had no chest pain, no dizziness and all her vital signs were normal. She was fully conscious and quite aware of what was going on, so I took her to hospital myself. It took me three minutes to deliver her to the nurse at A&E.
Be safe.

bamboo by a pool
My landscaper has suggested planting Oldhamii bamboo to act as a privacy screen in our back yard. I love this idea but have a couple of concerns: 1. excessive leaves dropping in the pool. How much do leaves actually drop (I am in los angeles) and 2. Root invasion of the pool The area has a lot of concrete so the landscaper says with good trimming yearly this will not be an issue. Does anyone have any advice/experience with this type of bamboo? Thank you
Is this an inground concrete pool, or what?
Bambusa olhammii is not a running variety of bamboo. It's a clumper. It grows quite tall and should make an excellent screen. The culms get to around four inches in ideal circumstances. Bamboo will drop leaves but not too badly. That shouldn't be too much of an issue.
This is an in-ground, concrete pool surrounded by a lot of cement. The bamboo would be located quite close to the water. We don't want to have to be constantly cleaning out leaves... Thank you for the input!
I'm also in Los Angeles with an in-gound pool and was giving serious consideration to Oldhamii as well. How did things turn out? My largest concern is leaf droppage as it will be about 15 feet away from the pool in a 4' wide by 30' long raised planter box.
