Mac DeMarco Covers "This Guy's In Love With You" for Video Introducing New Guitarist
By Jeremy Gordon on September 12, 2014 at 10:26 a.m. EDT
Mac DeMarco has shared a cover of Herb Alpert's Burt Bacharach/Hal David-penned song "This Guy's In Love With You" in a music video that also introduces his new guitarist, Andrew Charles White. In the video, White explores New York City while wearing one of those "I <3 NY" shirts, doing push-ups in public and waving an American flag. Watch it below.
Hear Jim O'Rourke Cover Burt Bacharach's "Close to You"
By Tom Breihan on May 5, 2010 at 3:15 p.m. EDT
Earlier this year, postrock don Jim O'Rourke produced All Kinds of People ~Love Burt Bacharach~, a Japan-only tribute album to 60s lounge-pop hitmaker Burt Bacharach, released on AWDR. The LP features out-music folks like Thurston Moore and Wilco's Glenn Kotche taking on the venerable Bacharach songbook.
We previously posted Moore singing a fairly straight-up version of "Always Something There to Remind Me". Now, TwentyFourBit points to another track from this oddity of an album: O'Rourke's take on the oft-covered Bacharach song "(They Long to Be) Close to You", which you may know via the Carpenters or the "Maximum Homerdrive" episode of "The Simpsons". Wilco's Glenn Kotche and Yellow Magic Orchestra's Haruomi Hosono both help out on the track.
Thurston Moore Covers Burt Bacharach

Velvet-smooth vintage hitmaker Burt Bacharach has all sorts of admirers: Elvis Costello, Dr. Dre, Austin Powers. Add Jim O'Rourke to the list. TwentyFourBit points out that postrock pioneer and current Japan resident O'Rourke produced All Kinds of People ~Love Burt Bacharach~, a Japan-only Burt Bacharach tribute album released this week on AWDR.
The tribute, currently for sale at iTunes Japan, features O'Rourke, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Wilco's Glenn Kotche, among others, doing versions of Bacharach standards like "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head", "Do You Know the Way to San JosĂŠ?", and "Walk on By".
Below, via TwentyFourBit, you can hear Moore's take on "Always Something There to Remind Me", a Bacharach nugget that's been covered a ton of times in the past. The British group Naked Eyes scored a hit when they turned it into a synthpop jam in 1983. Other than Moore's voice and the quiet noise loop at the end, there's not much to indicate the backgrounds of the guys taking on this song. But it's a trip hearing Thurston on a classic melody without even a hint of guitar fuzz.

calla lily tuber
I just spent the last half hour trying to figure out where to post a question for calla lilies. decided on this forum. anyway I was given a calla lily tuber and I have no idea how to plant it. I cannot tell what should go up and what should go down into the soil. the bulb looks like a short goal post with two short vertical posts and a horizontal crossbar. I am assuming the posts go downward into the ground with the crossbar above the 2 posts. either way it just doesn't seem right. please help.
See if this helps...
Here is a link that might be useful: How to plant calla lilys
Ah, I never mess with "righting" many bulbs/roots/tubers such as callas. I tend to plant a LOT of them, such as the time I bought 2000 daffodils, and I often just plant bulbs by trenching, pouring in, and covering. They right themselves quite quickly in the ground through root and stem action. You really won't hurt it if it does end up wrong side up. But, the best advice was above -- if you can't tell, plant it on its side.
Callas tend to sprout roots from the sides as well as the bottom of the bulb. There's often no obvious 'down' as there is with a daffodil, for example. No root plate, as such.
In the ground, they often dig themselves deeper than you planted them so be sure your soil is deeply loosened.
Agree. Plant on its side. And, if you have only one bulb for this season, no worries. They bulk up reasonably quickly.

Oak Park Public Library launches a new Idea Box installation. What a wonderful way to tap into users' hopes and dreams! Kudos OPPL!
I am honored to be in Strathmore, Alberta today at the libraries' workshop for Marigold Library System. My keynote presentation slides are here:
Yesterday I did the keynote presentation for the Embrace Change, Invent the Future conference sponsored by NORWELD in Ohio. Thanks to all who attended and for the great discussion afterward.
The slides are here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/239835/StephensUPDATEDLearningEverywhereOhio.pdf
I am honored to be spending the day at my hometown library for staff development institute: Traverse Area District Library. Take a look at this page of stats they make available:
Please take a look at their Web site and catalog – built on Evergreen. To me, this library is an outstanding example of making things WORK on so many levels. I'm speaking this afternoon – the slides are here:
Monica harris writes: If you could draw your whole world, what would be in it? Join us for an Idea Box of your own creation, April 3 – 30, at the Oak Park Public Library Main Library.
Shelley and Stacie can provide the back-story about how this initially came about.
Shelley Walchak (SW): Libraries across the country have been deeply concerned about their future since the beginning of the recession, and yet, one Colorado library district – Anythink Libraries (Rangeview Library District in Adams County) seemed to be resistant to the downturn. In fact, within the last 5 years they have built or remodeled seven libraries and won ALA's National Medal as well as the John Cotton Dana Marketing Award.
SW: Colorado libraries were curious as to how Director Pam Smith and her staff were so successful. As I worked with libraries across Colorado, directors and staff wanted to understand Anythink's successes. And so, a visit with Pam Smith, followed by a discussion with her Manager of Communications, Stacie Ledden, led to the development of a committee to create a conference that would explore Anythink's successes. Without the following committee members, R-Squared: The Risk & Reward Conference would not have been born: John Bellina and Tasso Stathopulos from Ricochet Ideas, Barb Brattin (Telluride), Susan Dobbs (Anythink) , Shelly Drumm (formerly with Colorado State Library (CSL), Ryan Ewers (Aurora), Jamie Hollier (CSL), Scott Lupo (Anythink), Steve Hansen (formerly Anythink), Valerie Horton (Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC), Christine Kreger (CSL), Stacie Ledden (Anythink), Sharon Morris (CSL), Judy Poe (Bayfield) , Elena Rosenfeld (Weld), Crystal Schimpf, (CSL), Pam Smith (Anythink), Judy Van Acker (CLiC), and Shelley Walchak (CSL).
Stacie Ledden (SL): Once Pam and Shelley started talking about launching a conference, they brought in the Anythink Communications team.
SL: At the time we were working on an exhibit for Anythink called "The Power of Creativity," which will be on display at R-Squared. The exhibit highlights six characteristics of creative individuals–originality, curiosity, risk-taking, open-mindedness, connecting, productivity–and its purpose is to show people that creativity manifests itself in many different ways. It's not just artists, writers, dancers, musicians who are creative: everyone has some creative ability.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration reported Thursday that the federal budget deficit fell to $162.8 billion in the just-completed budget year, the lowest amount of red ink in five years.
LYNN, Mass - Adrian Exley was wrapped tightly in heavy plastic, then bound with duct tape. A leather hood was put over his head with a thin plastic straw inserted so that he could breathe, and he was shut up in a closet.

DEAR ABBY: I am 14 and in high school. There's this boy, "Jon," who has liked me for a long time. Recently a friend of his asked me if I'd ever consider being Jon's girlfriend. I told him no. I said I liked Jon, just not in that way. Obviously, the friend told Jon.

ISTANBUL, Turkey - An Egyptian plane carrying 163 people to Warsaw caught fire Thursday after making an emergency landing at Istanbul's international airport, a government official said. One passenger was slightly injured.
DEAR DR. GOTT: One hot summer, my husband and I went to a Little League baseball game. The mosquitoes were thick. Everyone was slapping at them but to no avail. We were not bothered by them. Lots of them were only circling around us. Why, you ask? Because we had taken garlic tablets. They work to keep the mosquitoes away. We have used the tablets for years. They work every time, and there is no odor.
DEAR ABBY: Your response to "Smitten in North Texas" (Aug. 17), who was romantically interested in his deceased father's wife, was not entirely correct.
A bit more traveling and moving about in wider circles is indicated for you in the year ahead. Valuable contacts will come out of this, providing benefits for you both socially and commercially.
Most tricks are won by aces, kings, queens and trumps. But lower cards, even nines and eights, can be valuable too - as in this deal.

San Jose Pension Reform, Measure B (June 2012)
According to a 2010 audit by the city, the amount that the city pays every year for the retirement plans of its retired workers has risen from $73 million in 2001 to $245 million in 2011. Over the last two decades, the amount paid by the city in total pension benefit payments has grown sevenfold. The amount that is paid out of the account every year has been exceeding the amount paid in for over 10 years. The city's 2010 audit also says that the city is about $2 billion short of the amount that should be in the account to pay for future benefits.[1],[2]
- Chuck Reed, San Jose's mayor, is a leading supporter of the pension reform measure. He began advocating for pension reform in the city in early 2011. Scott Herhold, a Mercury News columnist, says, "Make no mistake: The proposal that San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed unveiled...to curtail retirement and health benefits for city employees will define his mayoral career."[3]
- Jeff Cristina, director of Environmental Services at GreenWaste Recovery in San Jose, supports the measure.[1]
- County Assessor Larry Stone says he supports the measure because "We need significant reform, not just incremental reform. Why? Because the current system is unsustainable."[1]
- City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio.[4]
The measure is opposed by the city's public sector employee unions. In a statement released by five unions after the vote to place the measure on the June ballot, the unions said, "the mayor and his supporters scored some political points today, but only time will tell what the ultimate cost to our city will be."[1]

Chuck Reed, Pete Constant, Pierluigi Oliverio, Madison Nguyen, Sam Liccardo, Rose Herrera, Donald Rocha and Nancy Pyle voted in favor of placing the measure on the ballot.
