Staff Lists
The 50 Best Albums of 2008
By Pitchfork Staff , December 19, 2008
We at Pitchfork close out the year with our annual review of the year's 50 best albums. A few notes: Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago -- issued in 2008 on Jagjaguwar to well-deserved acclaim-- would have likely placed high on our list, but the self-released version of the record appeared in our 2007 edition. Also, three years after Robyn's self-titled-- and at the time self-released-- album made our year-end countdown it finally got a U.S. release this year. Both of those records were deemed ineligible this time around. Our staffers' individual top 25s can be found here.
Enjoy the holiday season! Daily news, reviews, and features resume Monday, January 5, 2009.
50: Ponytail
Ice Cream Spiritual
From the fist few seconds of "Beg Waves", the opening track on the sophomore album from Baltimore spazz-rockers Ponytail, you know something's up: You can feel the song gathering itself together-- the guitars rev and the drums roll and vocalist Molly Siegel clears her throat-- and there's a sense that an enormous amount of energy is about to be unleashed. The record that follows delivers on this early promise, as Ponytail combine surf guitar riffs, shredding harmonized leads, gitty-up rhythms, and the one-of-a-kind Siegel howling above it all, her "lyrics" seemingly written using a strange alphabet that consists only of exclamation points. The weird thing is how inclusive and welcoming it all sounds, as you find yourself wishing you could be sweating and screeching and thrashing in the studio along with them. --David Bevan
49: Crystal Stilts
Alight of Night
These Brooklynites highlight the difference between being derivative and having good taste. With record collections clearly crammed with Phil Spector-produced singles, Jesus and Mary Chain albums, Black Tambourine rarities, Velvet Underground boxed sets, and every version of Unknown Pleasures ever released, Crystal Stilts synthesize a sound that owes obvious debts but works on its own terms. It's not all doom and gloom, either: Despite all the ghostly reverb, there are bouncy melodies lurking amidst the murk, as shimmering tambourines, hints of surf guitar, and Wall of Sound orchestrations provide hints of innocence and levity. Sure, their band is hard to keep straight thanks to the current onslaught of similarly titled groups (in 2008, "crystal" was the new "wolf"). But with tracks as good as "Prismatic Room" and "Shattered Shine", Crystal Stilts is a name worth remembering. --Rebecca Raber
48: High Places
High Places
[Thrill Jockey]
On their self-titled debut, High Places subtly combine the more abstract meanderings of their earlier recordings with a more song-oriented approach. The interplay between vocalist Mary Pearson's endearingly metallic-toned melodies and Rob Barber's lush percussive collages is somewhere between minimal dance music-- particularly on "Gold Coin" and "A Field Guide"-- and shadowy meditations on ambient music. Despite the duo's ambitious blending of genres, the colorful, charismatic High Places remains unique and focused, naturally absorbing a rich array of influences and ultimately thriving on the impulses behind them. --Mia Clarke
47: The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave
We still don't know a whole lot about the Tallest Man on Earth, just a few bullet points from his résumé: Name: Kristian Matsson. Home: Sweden. Experience: former frontman for some band called the Montezumas. Releases: a strange, superb EP in 2006 and this year's full-length debut, Shallow Grave. The latter is a bewitching collection of Spartan folk songs that drew comparisons to Bob Dylan but sound more like Dock Boggs. Tallest Man's unforthcoming nature bolsters his out-of-time music, which sounds like it could have been recorded at any time in the past 40 years. If his standoffishness preserves the mystery, then his ragged croak and fingerpicking style lend gravity to his dreamlike imagery ("I'm gonna force the Serengeti to disappear inside my eyes") and his thoughts about death and the oblivion that follow. --Stephen M. Deusner
46: Beach House
Beach House's self-titled debut got a long way on decayed atmosphere-- drum machines sounded like dot-matrix printers, organs bled out into the tracks like slit writs into bathwater. On Devotion, they sweep away a lot of the cobwebs, and the crisper production spotlights Victoria Legrand's husky croon and clears a path into the album's thematic depths: Beach House was simply lovelorn, Devotion is, as its title hints, a sharp study of dedication. "Your wish is my command," Legrand moans on "Wedding Bell"-- there's a thin line between loving commitment and unhealthy addiction, which she repeatedly crosses. On "All the Years", Legrand provides a subtler image-- she's sitting on a rock, waiting for a key. We get the sense she'll be waiting for a long time. --Brian Howe
45: Lykke Li
Youth Novels
Ask her if she's in love, ask her about the last time she cried, and Lykke Li will answer you honestly. But it's hard to know who she is on Youth Novels, because every song is about closed hearts and open legs; about crying over someone yet enjoying having someone to cry over; being a little bit in love, but too shy shy shy to say anything. Lykke Li is confident in herself, but still a bit unsure of exactly who she is-- which is to say, she's like a lot of young adults. Unlike a lot of young adults, however, Li expertly uses melodies, desires, and just a few drum beats to try and express what she's feeling, and she invites us to follow along as she sorts through it all. --Jessica Suarez
44: Marnie Stern
This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That
[Kill Rock Stars]
Marnie Stern's biography is crucial to her music, because it so thoroughly threads through her discography: Self-taught, she was moved by hearing something transcendent and powerful in music that she worked for years to try to do it better. Her method: wrenching thousands of gleaming, screaming moments from her guitar and constructing radiant towers of sound from them. But the key to getting This is It… is not to focus on the virtuosic playing, but to back up a bit and let the sound-- and Stern's high-school pep-rally vocals-- shove you into the ring against your will, and pummel you. You'll come out bruised, but stronger for it. --Eric Harvey
43: Shearwater
In a better world, the epic-yearning Rook is as big as Coldplay's latest and Jonathan Meiberg-- choirboy-faced, angel-voiced Austin ornithologist-- is a rock star; the reality, however, is that Shearwater are still struggling to escape the shadow of former member Will Sheff and his band Okkervil River. While Sheff is rooted in folk, Meiberg's straddles the uneasy ground between experimental noise and hazy AM radio. In the end, pop hooks, overemoted sentiments, and intricate arrangements usually triumph, though-- especially when "South Col"'s brief feedback yields to the shimmer and swell of album centerpiece "The Snow Leopard". --Amy Granzin
42: Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Lie Down in the Light
[Drag City]
Consistency might be an admirable-- even enviable-- habit, but it doesn't always generate a ton of chatter. On Lie Down in the Light, Will Oldham continued his underappreciated, two-decade tenure as the patron saint of indie-folk, but few people seemed to recognize that this was one of his finest records. A little bit perverted ("So Everyone" is awfully fun to sing, mooney-eyed, to your intended, until you realize it's a plea for public fellatio), a little bit country (an ensemble of Nashville session players shuffle though), and a little bit unexpected (see the odd squall of woodwinds on "Other's Gain", or the clarinet in "For Every Field There's a Mole"), Lie Down in the Light is a collection of deeply felt and deeply sung love songs. --Amanda Petrusich
41: David Byrne and Brian Eno
Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
David Byrne has spent most of his career banging against the clear but impermeable window that separates him from normalcy; Brian Eno's spent his setting up barriers between himself (and his collaborators) and received ideas. Unsurprisingly, they make great collaborators, and their first pairing in a quarter-century is as different from their earlier ones as, say, More Songs About Buildings and Food is from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The organizing principle, they've both noted, was to make something like a secular gospel record-- simple and devotional-- which they did, more or less, although their innate weirdness became part of its landscape too. (Byrne's idea of a heartwarming homily is "Home will infect whatever you do.") If Everything That Happens mostly lacks the stylish, vernacular musicianship of their best records, it's got some of the best songwriting from Byrne in a long time, partly because of the strictures Eno's placed on him, and partly because of the intimations of mortality that turn up all over the album-- it's smarter about the passage of time than anything he's written since "Once in a Lifetime". --Douglas Wolk

This unique three-in-one product gently cleanses the body with a rich foam, moisturizes your skin and is great for shaving. Slather some on in the shower or at the sink and enjoy.
Treat yourself like a King! Billy Jealousy's Triple Crown Body Wash is superb! This is my go to body wash when I want to relax or just treat myself to clean smelling and moisturizing shower.
Can it be used as a shave cream? Yes, but it's not nearly as effective as their Whipped Cream or Hydroplane shaving products.
My only complaint, is that the bottle isn't larger. Hopefully the guys at Billy Jealousy will read this review and "Jumbo" size this great product!

"I discovered Footwear etc. only about a month ago. I have ordered 6 pairs of shoes during their MBT sale and am so very happy with the purchases. I wear a size 12 women's shoe -- a size that is virtually impossible to find in most shoe stores and especially in MBT styles. MBT is the ONLY shoe I can wear since hip replacement surgery left me with a leg length discrepancy and lower back pain. But I cannot find them in my size. Also, I can't really affort to buy them at the regular price and Footwear etc.'s sales are a Godsend for me. That is why I have bought 6 pairs while they are on sale. MBT's last a long time and I am hoping that by stocking up, it will keep me shoed until the next sale. Also, whenever I call Footwear etc. for help, I get a REAL PERSON on the phone who never fails to be truly helpful and polite -- a rarity in today's busy world with too many customer service people whose first priority is to convince you that your problem is not theirs!"

Publisher's Description
The Feasting on the Word Worship Companion: Liturgies for Year C, Volume One, is the first of six volumes (two for each lectionary year) in a new series for worship leaders and pastors. Based on the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), this book is an invaluable aid that provides all liturgical pieces needed in preparing for worship each week. A team of eleven ecumenical and seasoned liturgy writers, under the creative leadership of Kimberly Bracken Long, offer a multitude of poetic prayers and responsive reading for all parts of worship. In addition, drawn from the lectionary each week are a question for reflection and household prayers for morning and evening so churches can include them in their bulletin for parishioners.
During times of the year when two different tracks of Old Testament texts are offered by the RCL, this resource offers an entire set of materials for each track. Also, a CD-ROM is included with each book and easily enables planners to cut and paste relevant readings, prayers, or questions into worship bulletins.

NSW Destinations - Recommendations please

Hi There,
My partner and I are heading off at Christmas time for various reasons we thought it would be nice to hop in the car, and drive from place to place completely going against all the family orientated events we normally participate in!
We will be doing some work things and some personal things so will be stopping at the following destinations:
Echuca, Wagga Wagga, Canberra, Wollongong and then free from there.
We have places sorted to stay in Echuca, Wagga Wagga and Canberra but its Wollongong and beyond we need help with.
We are happy to stay in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Batemans Bay or anywhere else you recommend.
We like going for walks, taking photography of wildlife and eating in nice, organic or wholesome style restaurants.
So please give me your recommendations of places we should go and things we should see - happy to divert anywhere after Wollongong as we will have finished our work obligations then. TIA.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 08:59 AM
We'll be in Batemans Bay early next year and are plabnning a day out at Mogo Zoo

Thanks - we have actually been there a few years back and loved it. I had forgotten about it - will definitely head there thanks!

All breaks for all arrivals
Restaurant staff pleasant and helpful,welcoming staff also.
At first entering site it looks clean and modern, further in you come across dirty ,sightly chalets, a small handful have been updated and I would assume these are privately owned.There are some beautiful privately owned caravans on site but seem that those let out to holiday makers leave a lot to be desired as was the case with ours.
We had a silver caravan as we have done many times with Park Resorts at different sites,but this one was not up to usual standards.The caravan was clean so was bed and very comfy but heated towel rail had been taken off and not replaced I asked housekeeping who were going to refer it to maintenance ,we never heard any more.Upholstery smelt musty and floor had moved and bubbled up,fridge door was rusty at the bottom and freezer box needed defrosting now this is only May beginning of the season so surely all those little jobs should have been done.?Had we been staying longer than a weekend I would have wanted to change caravans.We have booked a 4 nights at a site in Clacton in July and hope our experience is a better one.
The small pool was out of action while we were there which was disappointing and made the shallow end of the main pool quite crowded.
In-house entertainment was disappointing but the acts from outside were very good.
Location is great- easy to get around the area and right next to the sandy beach. We have a train enthusiast in the family and he adored having the RHD railway station right on the site!
We would definitely be up for a return visit one day.
Caravan was nice and we had a great time. Food and drink is pretty expensive in the club house but obviously you can cook in your caravan if you need too. The entertainment was pretty good. All in all no complaints from us.
This is the second time we have stayed here and were more impressed this time as the the mobile we were in was situated in such a good position ,we found we were not looking into anyone else's windows and vice versa. Beautifully clean and we were very impressed with the whiteness of the bed linen , I wish I could get whites like that
Had a fantastic time, caravan beautiful and staff so good with my little girl. Will be booking again later this year
First appearances were good but as you got further in to the camp the quality vanished and became a rundown camp. Caravans for sale parked in all sorts of spaces.The appartment we had was however very good,but did we have to have a scaffold tower outside our kitchen window?
The place seriously needs a makeover - we had a "platinum" caravan and our parking area was behind the entertainment complex - looked like a wasteland with a backdrop of rotting old chalets. We only noticed on the Friday night an awful smell in the living room - a stench of cat urine. As we were only there a weekend and with out 3 year old it was too much a hassle to report and complain - we just made good use of the scented candles dotted around the room. The caravan was in a very bad state - broken old carriage clock with missing pendulum, smashed and missing light fittings in the kitchen, lots of net curtain fixing wires around on units but no net curtains so in full view of all passers by, and a missing front door in the bedroom overbed unit, oh and did I mention the cat urine smell?! The patio furniture was rotten and corroded and i would not have dared put a thimble on the glass table for fear if it collapsing (older rusted chairs had just been thrown under the decking). I did write a long note to the reception staff and must admit I was very disappointed to have received no reply. Was disappointed that the pub on the front of the site was shut - had no idea from the brochure it was only open in season. The grounds were in sore need of TLC it looked very unloved. A small issue but we were surprised that you couldn't buy crisps from the clubhouse bar - but there were 2 types in a vending machine. BUT ... On the plus side - Nice beach walks along the coast opposite the park and some really lovely, friendly and hardworking reception and entertainment staff - good luck to them :).
Go food and the children loved the disco.
I booked a gold caravan and must say it was wonderful. We had an amazing view over a nature reserve behind the site and it was beautiful and peaceful. Had a minor drama the first night when using the toaster made the power go out and I had to walk in the dark to the complex to ask for help. First person I asked wasn't very helpful said I had to find the security. But I asked at the bar and they sorted it out very quickly. By the time I had walked back the guy was outside fixing it. Only other slight moan was the crazy golf which people were playing we were told we couldn't get any clubs from the bar as the swimming pool staff in charge of them and it closed at 4, my son was upset as he had seen people playing. But the man answered they must have their own clubs and balls.
I would most certainly stay here again it was very clean and peaceful.
Very nice caravan. Spotless. Lovely food at the club house. Wasn't so keen on how crowded it was.
Swimming pool was excellent with very attentive lifeguards.
My boys loved every minute of it. They didn't want to come home!!!!
Stayed 4 nights in a gold caravan. The caravan was lovely, spacious and clean. There was plenty to do. Kids absolutely loved it. Would def go again
Comfortable and clean, as we went out of season we experienced some very cold mornings. Would contemplate upgrading to a centrally heated accommodation for this time of year
We found stay our stay very very enjoyable, peaceful and comfortable. We are absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and definitely coming back next summer. This time we've decided to upgrade to "gold+" although our previous "bronze" was more than adequate.
The scenery was breathtaking, but the pace of life in this part of Kent was the highlight and what we hoped for.
See you again next summer.
Shaun & Jeff
felt shop could do with a great improvement.
Liked it so much we are going back next year,the park is so clean and tidy and a fantastic beach just a few minutes away

Quaker Voluntary Service

Sobre nosotros
Grounded in Quaker faith and practice, QVS volunteers will engage in regular worship both within the QVS community and with local Friends meetings and/or churches. Through these relationships, QVS interns will give and receive ongoing spiritual support and nurture. They will be exposed to and participate in a variety of Friends worship, business and discernment practices as well as learning more about Quaker history and theology. They will be encouraged to share deeply with one another about their diverse understandings of Jesus in the Quaker movement and in their own faith journeys. QVS interns will also have the opportunity to network with and be supported by a wider community of Friends and Friends institutions during their year of service.
QVS will partner with agencies and organizations that offer direct support to marginalized individuals and communities, and that strive to transform unjust systems. Volunteers will be placed by QVS after a process of mutual discernment with the volunteer and the cooperating partners as to the gifts and interests of the volunteers and the needs of the community and organization. QVS seeks to facilitate work through service that will lead volunteers to deeper understanding of underlying structural oppression through meaningful work involving learning & growth. QVS volunteers will have direct experience of answering that of God in others through real relationships with real people.
Through simple, communal living, volunteers learn to care for self and others. In addition to their service placements, QVS volunteers will share living space, meals, care for the home, and all aspects of day to day life. They will construct a "community covenant" – an agreement guiding interactions in the house, using Friends worshipful discernment practices. Connections to the local Friends meeting or church and to the wider QVS Network offer support to this process in a variety of ways. The lessons learns through participation in intentional community will stay with volunteers for the rest of their lives.
At the heart of the year is a deep emphasis on reflection. In regular one-on-one meetings with a spiritual nurturer, in a structured group setting with fellow volunteers, through practices such as journaling, and in many informal ways, volunteers will find both the space and the supportive context to engage difficult questions that arise through the inevitable crossing of boundaries of perceived difference, encountering "The Other." Volunteers will learn to hold both outward and inward challenges up to the Light, and to articulate how their perspectives may change as a result of these experiences. Throughout the year, volunteers will find resources in the witness and experience of Friends both past and present. Particular attention is given in these exercises and relationships to places of stretching or challenge as the volunteer's spiritual understanding shifts and deepens to engage the injustice, inequality, privilege, and suffering that is an inevitable part of work for social justice and to learn skills to sustain them on this journey for the long haul.
Living four core Values: Community, Service, Transformation, and the Quaker Way. An experiment in faithfulness in the Friends' tradition. An opportunity to find your gifts, and to help change the world.

Filmmakers Discuss Hank Cochran Documentary
Hank Cochran was a prolific songwriter, penning hits recorded by artists ranging from Patsy Cline and Burl Ives to Natalie Cole. But Cochran more than just the songs he wrote. And that's what producer Greg Welsch and director Wesley Pryor want to show in their documentary "Livin' For a Song" showing this weekend at the River's Edge International Film Festival in Paducah. The documentary show times are 3 p.m. Friday at the Maiden Alley Cinema and 1 p.m. Saturday at the Market House Studio Theatre.
Whitney Jones spoke with Welsch and Pryor, who are musicians themselves, about their experience making the film with the music legend.

Major John André Monument, also known as the Site of Major John André's Hanging and Burial, is a historic monument located at Tappan in Rockland County, New York. It is a gray granite monument erected in 1879 and approximately 40 inches square and 58 inches tall. It is located in a circular plot approximately 31 feet in diameter. It commemorates the site of the hanging of Major John André on October 2, 1780.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
The monument was constructed in 1879 by millionaire Cyrus W. Field. It was dedicated on October 2, 1879
The monument caused quite a bit of controversy when it was first constructed. It was vandalized, and then had its base blown up twice by persons who felt that a monument to a British spy was an insult to George Washington. For this reason a bronze tablet was later added to commemorate the bravery of Washington and his generals during a crisis of the war.
There were three attempts to destroy the monument: On February 22, 1882, the monument was hacked and mutilated by George Hendrix, of New York City. On March 30, 1882 at 11:35 PM, an explosion slightly damaged the monument. On November 3, 1885 at 10:00 PM, an explosion destroyed the iron fence surrounding the monument and toppled the monument.
After Cyrus Field's death, his heirs refused to pay the taxes of $6.38 on the property. Rockland County put the land up for auction in 1903. There were no bidders and Rockland County assumed ownership of the monument and land.

Carl Icahn's Icahn Associates said in a Feb. 13 filing that it had suggested to CVR Energy's management, after the company announced that it would begin paying a dividend, that it believed that shareholders would be better served if CVR commenced a process to put itself up for sale. Icahn Associates also said that there are three or four possible acquirers that could benefit greatly from the synergies that could be realized from a future "combination." Icahn had previously disclosed owning 12,584,227 shares (14.5% of all voting shares outstanding), and that its stake included some underlying call options on the shares.

Jana Partners said that it had decreased its stake in Marathon Petroleum, but also noted that it had spoken to management about investment opportunities and shareholder value.
In its Feb. 8 filing, Jana stated that it had "engaged in highly productive discussions with [Marathon Petroleum's] management, and continues to believe that the shares represent an attractive investment opportunity," given the demonstrated commitment of the company's board and management to create shareholder value and, as recently announced, to undertake a substantial share-repurchase program. Jana also pointed approvingly to Marathon's willingness to explore various strategic alternatives for its midstream assets—including transportation, storage, and processing operations—by spinning them off into master limited partnerships.
Jana disclosed that it now owns a stake of 16,024,622 shares (4.5%), including 796,745 underlying options, after its sale of 3,787,681 shares from Feb. 1 through Feb. 9 for per-share prices ranging from $40.93 to $44.98.
Jana also said that it had sold the shares in the course of managing its overall portfolio of equity holdings, and currently intends to retain a significant interest in Marathon Petroleum.

Investor's Average Cost: $24.71 per share
Stock-Market Value: $9 billion ($20.27 per share)
What's Happening: Paulson & Co. sent a letter to the company urging a tax-free spinoff of its property and casualty business.
Key Numbers:
$32: the combined share price that Paulson estimates is achievable in a spinoff
9: the number of 13D filings Paulson has made in the past 18 years
75: the number of passive 13G filings by Paulson in the same span
Behind the Scenes: Despite popular belief, Paulson & Co. isn't an activist investor. It rarely makes 13D filings and only once in its history took activist measures in such a filing. This 13D is a conversion from a 13G initially filed in February 2011.
Paulson believes that a spinoff would create two pure-play insurance companies whose management would be focused solely on each company's own business. This, Paulson maintains, would let each achieve a stock-price multiple consistent with its industry's, which, for the property and casualty sector, would mean approximately 1.1 times book value versus Hartford's current multiple of 0.4—the lowest of any major U.S. insurer. Paulson also sees a spinoff reducing complexity, which now limits sell-side coverage and investor interest.
Paulson believes management underestimates the potential value that would be created by a spinoff, and that the challenges it describes are overrated and readily manageable. In fact, Paulson offers 11 measures that can be taken to manage the most significant challenge: how to allocate debt to balance the company's credit-rating objectives, with the delivery of greater shareholder value.
