Get That Out Of Your Mouth
Get That Out of Your Mouth #25
The Boulevard of Lukewarm Dreams
By Chris Dahlen , May 18, 2006
Kristin Hersh doesn't expect anyone to pay her to be a musician. The famous Throwing Muses and solo artist, who regularly hits the road with her new band, 50 Foot Wave, scoffs, "I know of so many musicians that think they should be paid for being in the studio and just making records. That costs money! So how do you expect to be paid for just sitting around, doing what you would do at home? The real work is like the old blues guys used to do. You'd walk from town to town with your guitar, and you introduce a song to the town, or to the room, the bar, the church, or the house, even. That's the work of a musician."
This attitude may sound strange. At the height of the rock era, nobody expected to "earn" a living: you got money for being a gigantic star, and for making millions of people feel like you were having sex with their ears. But in the independent music world, people don't expect an extra private jet for their groupies or a sugar bowl full of cocaine; most of them don't even want a major label deal. Instead, they're drifting into a new strata: They're becoming middle-class musicians.
The term "middle-class musician" has floated around for a few years as a synonym for independent or grassroots artists who make enough to pay the rent-- at least sometimes. Americans associate the term with comfort, and normalcy; living in the middle class means that you'll never be invited to the White House, but you'll always have food on the table and a TV in the living room. In other words, you'll always get by. And the presence of a middle class exerts a strong pull. People who otherwise would have drifted to one of the extremes instead tend to float toward the comfortable middle.
The middle-class musicians are a far more inclusive group than the old "make or break" rock nobility. The difference between a professional and a hobbyist used to be clear cut: To call yourself a "real" musician, you had to keep selling songs, or pick up session work, or starve your way around the country. Maybe you weren't famous, but at least you were working. Today, there's no clear division. If some of the Wrens have day jobs at Pfizer, does that make them less of a rock band? If you never play your guitar outside your bedroom, but a blog picks up your mp3s, does that make you a hobbyist? A great artist-- or maybe it was Shaq-- once said, "You are what you do repeatedly," and that's about the only definition I know that holds up.
Technology plays a crucial role for middle-class musicians. Thanks to technology, a middle-class musician can also reach the sliver of fans that want their music no matter where they live. Back in the day, these would be "regional acts": They had pull in their local area because they were the ones you saw when you went out to your local bar or night club, when nobody bigger was in town. Today, those same acts may reach 10,000 fans, but the fans could be scattered all over the world.
And to help them find those fans, a scrum of companies on and off the 'net has stepped in to tend to every business need that a label would have handled. For a nominal fee, you can get low-impact PR, electronic press kits, and agencies that will place your songs in everything from commercials to TV shows to video games. If you're ready to give away your music under a Creative Commons license, you can watch it spread through podcasts, mp3 blogs, playlist sharing websites, and maybe even a clip on YouTube. And you shouldn't even get out of bed if you're not posting your music on MySpace and selling CDs on commission at CD Baby.
But how many of those opportunities are good ones? There's a downside to being a middle class musician: most of them expect to stay that way. All of these middlemen can get your music out there, but you have to win the fans yourself; nobody will make you big-- they can just make you available. This is also where the middle class artist parts ways with what you might call the "career artist"-- meaning, independent artists who have actually survived the major label ringer and then turned their backs on it. This includes folks like Kristin Hersh, Melissa Ferrick, George Clinton, and many others who cultivate their own fans instead of dreaming that a major will find them millions of new ones. They're in a different situation, because if you've ever had a hit, you know what it means to connect with a mass audience. But more and more artists can live without that.
So let's say that the middle-class musician really means "the musician who's never had a hit." The folks who follow this boulevard of lukewarm dreams make good, sometimes great music. Their fans love them. But they inhabit their niche-- whether it's moaning an acoustic ballad, or playing Bach on the cello-- and that's where people expect them to stay.
I'm not bringing this up to throw cold water on the people who make great music every day of their lives yet never made it onto the charts. Or to tell the people who just found a way to get their music out that they shouldn't bother. The main reason I'm focusing on on this group is to get some perspective on the technological doohickies and gee-whiz devices I regularly cover in this space. Every day, someone comes up with a new way to get your music into the market-- but how many of them work?
Maybe you can catch a break because a television show played your song-- but maybe your song got picked because it's anonymous, and because it stays in the background of the scene at the bar or the big breakup scene at the record store? Maybe iTunes will sell enough of your song to bring in some serious bucks, but maybe you'd be better off giving it away. Sometimes a new technology can lead artists to their big break. But it can also keep them stuck right where they are. And sometimes, it even makes them smaller.
Consider the other half of the equation: How the artists are changing in relation to the fans. The working musician has more deals to keep track of, more media in which to screw up, and more demands placed on them by shorter and shorter media cycles. Technology has made their lives better, but also harder. But it's been nothing but a win for the customers.
Thirty years ago, kids listening to rock albums had two choices: listen to Side A, or listen to Side B. Today, you can rip apart and consume your music any way you please. You can slice and dice albums into playlists and mixes in seconds; dump buckets of mp3s onto a single CD-R; or BitTorrent someone's entire catalog online and then let it molder on your hard drive. You can stretch an artist as thin as you'd like by buying hours of official bootlegs and live recordings, and if you actually catch their gig, you can stand there snapping pictures with your camera phone. You can also make new music out of their old music with mash-ups and remixes, and significantly, some bands even hand over their multitracks or turn it into a contest, like the Dismemberment Plan, or David Byrne & Brian Eno's Bush of Ghosts remix site.
We used to think we'd lost the "participatory culture" of the 19th century, when average music fans spent more time playing piano and singing off of sheet music than passively listening to active musicians; but now it's coming back, mostly thanks to the 'net. And the musicians-- even the giant ones-- are getting smaller. We used to worship our stars; now we bat them around like toys. And all they were trying to do was pay the rent.

I would like to take advantage of the Intel Rapid Start Technology but am confused by the instructions.I understand I first have to enable it in the BIOS. I then have to create a partition on my SSD. I am however confused by the wording in the motherboard manual.It says that 8GB's DRAMM is optimal for IRST. But does that mean an 8GB partition or does that mean 8GB of RAM installed on the motherboard. On the one hand it sounds like they're saying you should make a partition equal to how much memory you have installed (16GBs) but on the other hand they say it should be no more than 8GBs.Please help this confused and tired geek get this done right :-(Thanks in advance!!

56 year old man | Laguna Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 35-54 within 50 miles
Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Fun!
I am a fun (and funny) guy with a big heart who is looking for an easy going, fun loving lady. I work out daily and have a successful career. I maintain a healthy balance in life between work and "real life". Do you enjoy simple things like walking on the beach, going out to dinner, a movie, or a concert? This guy loves animals and kids; although I have both already, am absolutely open to getting to know yours. I am interested in someone who is 'chill' and who doesnt stress (too much). Are you someone who likes to, or would like to, travel and explore new places, and enjoys a glass of wine or other adult beverage over a romantic dinner? If this sounds like you, we should meet.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Cycling, Football, Golf, Running, Soccer, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
My dog Cloe is a Golden-doodle. She is a great pet.
Middle of the Road
I enjoy going out to eat at nice restaurants. Not much interest in the bar scene. I enjoy taking fewer but very nice vacations like Hawaii and Europe. I would love to visit Greece, Italy, and Australia. Many other places interest me as well.
I like many foods and am always willing to try new tastes. If I go shopping it is usually to large malls in the area. I am pretty causal most of the time, since we live not far from the beaches (~10min by car)
I enjoy spending time with my kids. I like movies (both at home and theatre), going to concerts, and most sporting events. I ride my motorcycle only occasionally but enjoy taking rides to the beach. Love to travel as well.
I read the newspaper daily and am very fluent in current events.

UFC middleweight Mark Munoz (Pictured) didn't have his A-game against Chris Weidman last Wednesday at "UFC on FUEL TV 4," and Weidman made "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" pay for it – as depicted by the photo above.
Although Munoz suffered his first defeat since dropping a split decision to former top contender Yushin Okami in August 2010, MMA's Mr. Nice Guy was still flashing his trademark Kool-Aid smile despite donning a battered mug and a new blemish on his résumé.
In addition to his 2ndRound KO loss to Weidman, Munoz also left HP Pavilion in San Jose, California with several stitches on his forehead and a black right eye.
"Lucky I have a hard head. Can't wait til I'm totally healed," Munoz wrote on his official website accompanied with the above picture.
Munoz had rattled off four straight victories prior to last week's outing. The scrap marked the 34-year-old's first tango since undergoing elbow surgery in January.

Every time a new tablet computer hits the market, experts speculate whether it could be the one to take down Apple's iPad. CNET's Kara Tsuboi explains why Amazon's Kindle Fire could be its stiffest competition yet.
The LG G3 is an elegant high-end Android smartphone with a superb 5.5-inch screen, a high-quality 13-megapixel main camera, a fast quad-core SoC, intelligent UI skinning and an admirably restrained set of software extras.
HP's 14-inch EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 combines ultrabook elegance with MIL-STD 810G robustness. It has a great screen and performs well, but lacks integrated VGA and Ethernet ports. You'll pay a premium price too.
The G Pad 8.3 is a well-thought-out tablet. Some may find the software extras a bit much, but there's a lot of utility in there. The hardware spec, like the device as a whole, is good value for money.
Aimed at a variety of vertical markets, the Xplore Bobcat clads an Atom-based Windows tablet in a rugged and customisable chassis.
The thin, lightweight and stylish Kira-101's standout feature is its high-resolution 13.3-inch touchscreen. It delivers solid performance and good battery life, but the price is high.
If you're looking for a rugged Windows 8.1 tablet that's relatively compact and lightweight, Panasonic's 7-inch, 540g, 18mm-thick Toughpad FZ-M1 is a good option. It's expensive, though, and battery life could be better.
The Moto E redefines the functionality to be found at the budget end of the smartphone market.
Samsung has done a good job with the Galaxy S5. Software bloat has been pared down and a few useful new features added, while the technical specifications are superb and battery life is good. Design purists may bemoan the plastic chassis, but the Galaxy S5 is still a worthy successor to last year's model.
Every inch the premium high-end smartphone, the Xperia Z2 delivers excellent performance, screen quality and camera resolution without compromising battery life. However, the abundance of third-party apps may confuse some users, and we noticed that the handset sometimes runs hot.
This affordable 8-inch Atom-based (Bay Trail) Windows 8.1 tablet has a nice IPS screen and delivers all-day battery life under light usage modes. Limited screen size, internal storage and processing power will prevent it from being more than a companion device for mobile professionals though.
The HTC One (M8) ticks most of our boxes: design, build and performance are all excellent, there's no app overload, and HTC Sense is improving with every iteration. Battery life could be better and some of the camera tools may seem unnecessary, but overall it's a winner.
This affordable smartphone includes a Simple Android Interface, but it's only skin-deep, and to access it you need to be able to navigate the standard UI.
There's more to this phablet than its curved chassis, although the moderate screen resolution and lack of storage expansion are disappointing. On the plus side, battery life is good and LG's Android tweaks are largely successful. Overall though, the G Flex is simply way too expensive.
This phablet offers flexible dual SIM support, an 8-megapixel front camera, NFC and a screen/stand, all for an affordable price. On the minus side, there's an imbalance between the paltry 4GB of internal storage and the generous software bundle, and the screen resolution is moderate considering its size.
Compelling though the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 is, the asking price will buy you a well-appointed notebook that offers more capability for the average mobile professional.

Travel Blogs from Aix-en-Provence
From Hell to Heaven. Welcome to Provence!
... at the wheel, we made good time and we arrived in Gordes at our luxury B&B just after midday. Hot, hungry but thankful to be here, we dumped the car and walked the 800mtrs or so down the dusty dry road into Gordes town. It was certainly hot (90 Fahrenheit we reckon) but all the heat did was further hone our laser like focus on where could we have lunch. Or more specifically, where can I get a beer, a 7UP (need some sugar), some fresh water and some chilled white wine. ...
Marseille, it is what it is....
Up earlyish literally take one step out of our front door and we are on the breakfast terrace where two fat ladies are already eating their way through what i can describe as a carb fest, I mean who eats croissants, fruit cake, biscuits, pain au chocolate and French bread for breakfast and get this...... Smoking a fag between bites, is she multi tasking I wonder? Anyway a quick Bon journay to the staff and we're back in St Tropez for a little wonder ...
Nous sommes malade
... drugs each to be taken at all times of the day. Total cost for our eight lots of drugs was 58 Euro 60 ($83). It's obviously a lot cheaper to be sick in France than Australia.
We then decided to drive to Gordes, a small hilltop village or about 2,000 people. I decided to take the scenic route there via a national park. This was good as we got to see more of Provence away from the highways. There were plenty of old farm houses made of stone ...
... the conversation. Another observation about French trains they do not announce the platform until 20 minutes before departure so you have a mob of people waiting under the departure screen who then bolt for the train, particularly when there is one lift, to the platform and limited storage space for luggage. We have learned the art! Another glimpse or le tour d'eiffel as we caught a taxi from Montparnasse to Gare du Lyon to catch the TGV to Aix-en-province. After 3 TGV trains and ...
Quiet day for the boys...shopping for girls
After our big night of cooking class and dinner, a slowish start to today. After brekky, the girls headed off to the clothing market and the boys went for a stroll and museum visit. Musee Granet was v interesting and well worth the €4 for the three of us...great value Lunch in Cours Mirabeau with the girls, the some of us headed home and some resumed shopping.

Silicon Labs have introduced a tiny 3 mm square hybrid TV tuner chip which supports reception of all worldwide terrestrial and cable TV transmission standards. According to its preliminary data sheet its design eliminates the need for an external balun, LNAs, SAW filters, and inductive power supply filtering. Some competing TV tuner solutions also eliminate the balun but can suffer from degraded NF and second-order distortion, which compromises reception. A fully-integrated 1.8 V LDO power supply regulator enables single supply operation, while a dual supply option offers additional system flexibility. Increased immunity to LTE interference and a harmonic rejection mixer filters out Wi-Fi interference and eliminates the need for external filtering.

Stream video on your smartphone, or use its GPS for an hour or two, and you'll probably see the battery drain significantly. As data rates climb and smartphones adopt more power-hungry features, battery life has become a concern. Now a technology developed by MIT spinout Eta Devices could help a phone's battery last perhaps twice as long, and help to conserve energy in cell towers.

Adding to their ever growing family of power supply regulators Linear Technology have introduced the LTC3807 step-down switching regulator DC/DC controller driving an all N-channel external synchronous power MOSFET stage. The chip uses a constant frequency current mode architecture allowing a phase-lockable frequency of up to 750 kHz.
The chip draws just 50 μA no-load quiescent current and an OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC3807 features a precision 0.8 V reference and power-good output indicator.

Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have designed integrated circuits that can survive at temperatures greater than 350 degrees Celsius – or roughly 660 degrees Fahrenheit. Their work, funded by the National Science Foundation, will improve the functioning of processors, drivers, controllers and other analog and digital circuits used in power electronics, automobiles and aerospace equipment – all of which must perform at high and often extreme temperatures.
"This ruggedness allows these circuits to be placed in locations where standard silicon-based parts can't survive," said Alan Mantooth, Distinguished Professor. "The circuit blocks we designed contributed to superior performance of signal processing, controllers and driver circuitry. We are extremely excited about the results so far."

If you have a simple Arduino project that uses only a few pins, you might be able to shrink it down to a single 8-pin ATtiny chip. In this video, Matt Richardson shows you how, based on a tutorial from MIT Media Lab's High-Low Tech Group.

Every year on Sept. 21 the Catholic church celebrates the memory of St. Matthew, Apostle and evangelist. On his feast day the church proclaims the story of his calling according to the account in the gospel that bears his name.
However, this obviously same individual is called Levi in the versions that appear in Mark and Luke. What is the real name of the person and to whom authorship of the first gospel is attributed? And/Or why might it have been changed?
All three Synoptic authors agree that he was a tax collector or publican. As such he was a persona non grata in his time and place, for as such he was a collaborator with the hated Romans who were occupying the country and doing their dirty work for them by collecting taxes and en-rich himself in the process.
I imagine that the Apostles were shocked and confused, even scandalized by Jesus' call of Matthew/Levi to follow him and become one of his disciples as they were, and maybe too by Matthew's readiness to accept the invitation. No wonder the Pharisees, the religious establishment of Palestine, complained to Jesus' disciples: "Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners.?" Observant Jews did not fraternize, especially by sharing table fellowship, with low-level types like tax col-collectors and other public sinners.
So where did the name Matthew come from? It is Aramaic and means in the common language of the people "Yahweh's gift," the gift of God. I doubt that Matthew gave it to himself. I am confident that neither the Apostles nor the Pharisees thought of him in such terms. So maybe Jesus himself gave him that sobriquet like he renamed Simon Cephas (Peter/Rock) for the function that he would serve in the forthcoming kingdom.
Matthew could probably read and write as a tax collector, skills that per-haps none of the other apostles could claim.
Levi/Matthew, I think, was not unique in Jesus' estimation of him as "a gift of God" to his circle of close friends and collaborators, for he considers all those who follow him to be a gift of God, for we all have a special contribution to make in sharing our faith with the world of our time and place. This is how Blessed John Henry Newman, a 19th century well-known English churchman and convert to Catholicism, prayed:
"God has created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons "
"Therefore, I will trust him. Whatever, whenever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplex ity, my perplexity may serve him; if I am in sorrow. My sorrow may serve him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. - Still he knows what he is about."
The Rev. Thomas J. Madden is a Roman Catholic priest who serves at the Jesuit Spirituality Center in Grand Coteau.
