Indie vets Low are releasing album #11 this year: Ones and Sixes, due September 11 via Sub Pop. They recorded it at Justin Vernon's April Base Studios (they're also playing his festival). The lead single is "No Comprende," which goes from a head-nodder to something airier and more psychedelic. Listen and check out the tracklist below (via Pitchfork). That's the artwork above.
In addition to Justin Vernon's festival and a few other fests, Low are also touring after the album's release. They'll hit NYC on September 24 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. No opener announced for that show yet, but other dates are with Andy Shauf and Two Gallants. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (6/26) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (6/24) at noon.
All dates are listed below...

Slowdive @ Terminal 5, 10/25/2014
MT: How did you choose the songs you wanted to play on the reunion tour?Slowdive spent their original '90s run in relative obscurity but cast a long shadow, resulting in this year's reformation seeing them tour much bigger places than they ever did 20 years ago. In fact, Saturday's show at NYC's Terminal 5, also part of CMJ, was their biggest headlining show in their history. (Not counting giant festival gigs like Primavera Sound.) The place was absolutely packed -- five deep along the balconies -- and the band's oceanic sound fit T5's cavernous nature perfectly. While not the most exciting band to watch live, they came with a dazzling light show and you could always just close your eyes and let the sound wash over you. It was also a trip to watch the sea of people on the floor bobbing their heads in unison throughout the show. For those who didn't get enough (or didn't get to go), singer Rachel Goswell told the crowd "See you next year" before leaving the stage. The band will begin working on a new album in early 2015. Meanwhile, pictures and setlist from T5 are in this post.
Rachel Goswell: We did like a Twitter and Facebook thing to see what people wanted to hear, and we've rehearsed a few more songs for the American tour that we haven't played live before, so that's really exciting. There's kind of like the standard ones, it's interesting over the summer playing songs like "40 Days." Some of the members don't really like playing it because they don't think it sounds that good, but it always goes down really really well live. It's kind of having to adjust your own feelings on certain songs sometimes and chopping the set around. You want everyone to enjoy it, obviously. It's just kind of making sure the songs sound the best they can sound live, which is the most important thing for us. We're really excited about the visual aspect of the shows that we're going to do in North America because it's all so exciting, the things being sorted out by our lighting guy. - [Music Times]
Low were perfect openers for this show, similar in mood and their sparse, echoey sound also fit really well with T5's acoustics. Pictures from their set, and more from Slowdive, below...

Low at The Concert Hall in 2013 (more by PSquared)
As if it wasn't exciting enough that the reunited Slowdive are going on a full North American tour, it just got more exciting because slowcore vets Low were added as the opener, making for two '90s indie rock greats (just one that never broke up) in one night. As discussed, the tour hits NYC on October 25 at Terminal 5. Tickets for that show are back on BrooklynVegan presale after initially selling out (password: Avalyn). If you miss out on the presale, you can try again in the general on-sale starting Friday (7/18) at noon.
Updated dates are listed, with videos of both bands, below...

Pitchfork Fest 2013 day 2 in pics: Belle & Sebastian, Solange, Low, Breeders, Swans, Metz, Merchandise, Rustie & more

Swans / Solange / fans
Soft spoken indie rockers Belle and Sebastian were a reprieve of sorts to festival goers who had spent the day seeing abrasive rock bands and the eardrum-shattering Swans set earlier in the afternoon (I forgot to bring earplugs...). A slight drizzle started around the band's fourth or fifth song but did not cut the show short like yesterday. Frontman Stuart Murdoch charmed audience members with his kind words, stating Chicago is much more relaxing than New York. Murdoch also engaged with audience members, inviting fans on stage, and even letting one fan draw on his face with mascara. Despite performing in a large festival setting during the headlining slot, the band managed to play one of the most intimate shows of the day. [BV Chicago]Pitchfork Music Festival 2013 continued on Saturday (7/20) with its second of three days. Day two featured a good deal of bands on the heavy/intense side including Swans, Savages, Metz, Pissed Jeans, and White Lung; some indie legends like Belle & Sebastian, Low, and The Breeders; and some representation from the electronic/R&B world too, including Solange, Rustie, Andy Stott, and Ryan Hemsworth. Of course there were even more artists rounding out the lineup, and pictures from the second day are in this post. Even more are on BV Chicago.

Low at the Concert Hall in March (more by PSquared Photography)
Low released their new, Jeff Tweedy-produced album, The Invisible Way, earlier this year and have been on tour in support of it, having already played NYC back in March. The group have since expanded their tour, and it now includes a short Northeast run in June with some interesting support from Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty. Those dates include a NYC show happening on June 19 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (4/19) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (4/17) at noon.
Regarding the pairing of Low and Mike Doughty, a press release notes:
The pairing was inspired by a fan's tweet, who suggested the two pair up for his "dream show.' Both active on Twitter, Low and Mike engaged in the tweet and soon decided it was high time for a rematch as both artists had toured with each other in the past (during Doughty's time with Soul Coughing).Low also recently made a video for "Just Make It Stop" from their new album. You can watch that video, and check out all upcoming tour dates listed below.
Low frontman Alan Sparhawk says of the pairing: "We are excited to be doing shows this June with our friend Mike Doughty. We first met when his band Soul Coughing brought us on tour years ago. I had heard them. They were like nothing else going on, every piece of the picture was fresh and on the edge - crazy/deep rhythm, samples/noise, word-play and melody. Their influence and friendship over the years has been priceless and dear to us, and Mike's lyrical/vocal grace has always been a level to which I measure and aspire to. The vocal does matter and it can be awesome."
Mike Doughty offers this: "The first time I heard Low, I played before them at CBGB in 1993. I remember leaning up against the wall of the dressing room, behind the stage, and feeling their warm, huge, slow sound vibrating the building. Soon after that, I contacted their producer, Mark Kramer from Shimmy Disc, and made my first solo album, "Skittish," with an explicit mission of replicating the reverbed, dreamy sound of their earliest recordings. Low and Soul Coughing toured together a couple of years after that; we became fast friends, and I remain a massive fan."

Low @ The Concert Hall, 3/20/2013
The band was joined by the string quartet after the first 10 songs, and as string players provided gentle accompaniment to Invisible Way opener "Plastic Cup," I realized all my worrying was for naught. Low used the quartet in the same way the band uses everything: with restraint. The quartet did its best to be unobtrusive throughout the night; the most colorful moment came when the band played "I Hear... Goodnight," a track from the In The Fishtank 7 EP recorded with the Dirty Three, and the bearded first violinist Ben Russell played a deeply melancholy but rousing solo. It complemented the song without ever overpowering. - [CMJ]Low, whose new, Jeff Tweedy-produced The Invisible Way was released this week, celebrated on Wednesday (3/20) with a show at The Concert Hall at the New York Society For Ethical Culture. After a set by the band proper, the ACME String Quartet (who also opened the show) joined them. More pictures from Wednesday's show, and the setlist, are below.
Low's tour continue's tonight with a show at Chicago's Metro. All remaining dates are listed below.

Retribution Gospel Choir w/ Nels Cline
It was a great night for side projects when Low side project Retribution Gospel Choir brought their tour to NYC for a show at Knitting Factory on February 11 with Tim Berne, Jim Black, and Nels Cline's appropriately titled BB&C and The War on Drugs side project Nightlands (led by TWOD bassist Dave Hartley). They just released their two-track full length album, 3, and one of those, "Seven," which features Nels Cline on the record, and he also came out to play it with them that night (audio recording of that song via NYC Taper is below). And in addition to the new album songs, they made time for older tracks as well.
Low are also releasing a new album and going on a tour which hits NYC on March 20 at the Concert Hall (tickets).

Low in the studio with Jeff Tweedy
Long-running indie trio Low will release their 10th album The Invisible Way, on March 19, 2013 which will mark the band's 20th year together. The record was produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, and Low's Alan Sparhawk tells how this came to be:
While driving though Chicago, on tour, we stopped finally to visit Wilco at their studio, The Loft. They had invited us to come check it out several times over the years, but this would finally be the day. It's a great place--a sea of instruments in a relaxed, open working environment. It's cool, but what really converted us was hearing the new Mavis Staples tracks they were working on: big, simple, raw, and intimate. Plans were made then and there.You can watch a video trailer for the album below. While we wait for the new album, Low have released a six-song live EP titled Plays Nice Places which was recorded at various historic theaters on the bands' April 2012 tour supporting Death Cab for Cutie. Ben Gibbard features on the EP's version of "Words" and you can download the whole thing for free (well, you have to give up your email address) below via a widget. No North American tour dates have been announced yet but there are 2013 European dates which are listed below.
We have worked with many of the great engineer/producers. Jeff Tweedy has been on our side of the microphone for over 25 years, however with engineer (and fellow Grammy winner) Tom Schick, he has of late become a formidable and eclectic producer. He spoke a language we understood, but then took us effortlessly into the mystery.
We've made many records, and you know our M.O.: slow, quiet, sometimes melancholy, and, we hope, sometimes pretty...
How is this different from any other Low record?
- Mimi sings lead on five of the eleven songs (she usually only does one or two, despite being a fan favorite).
- Piano, lots of piano... and an acoustic guitar.
- Songs about intimacy, the drug war, the class war, plain old war war, archeology, and love.
Thank you for your time again and please enjoy what we made. I think it's beautiful.

Swans at Music Hall of Williamsburg (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Swans are back with a new double album, The Seer, due via Young God Records on August 28. The new effort features appearances from Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), former bandmate Jarboe, Bruce Lamont, Ben Frost, members of Akron/Family ( who served with him in Angels of Light) and members of Low. Gira comments:
The Seer took 30 years to make. It's the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I've ever made, been involved in or imagined. But it's unfinished, like the songs themselves. It's one frame in a reel. The frames blur, blend and will eventually fade.While you're waiting for August 28 to roll around, you can check out a trailer for the DVD portion of The Seer and all listed Swans tour dates (Nothing for NYC yet).
The songs began on an acoustic guitar, then were fleshed out with (invaluable) help from my friends, then were further tortured and seduced in rehearsals, live and in the studio, and now they await further cannibalism and force-feeding as we prepare to perform some of them live, at which point they'll mutate further, endlessly, or perhaps be discarded for a while.
Despite what you might have heard or presumed, my quest is to spread light and joy through the world. My friends in Swans are all stellar men. Without them I'm a kitten, an infant. Our goal is the same: ecstasy!

OREM, Utah, Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of Virginia recently announced that it will drop dosimeter requirements in favor of unrestricted use of the Aribex NOMAD® family of handheld X-ray systems, effective January 1, 2014.
"We applaud the State of Virginia's judicious decision to band with 34 other states in this 'stay-with-the-patient' movement, where more than 13,000 devices are now in use," said Ken Kaufman, general manager of Aribex. "What we're seeing is a sophisticated paradigm shift to the new and improved way of taking intra-oral radiographs. We look forward to showing dental professionals throughout the U.S. how the NOMAD Pro 2 enhancements will further evolve intra-oral imaging and provide better access to dental care worldwide."
After careful investigation, the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Radiological Health has determined that, beginning in 2014, personnel dosimetry will no longer be required for those who operate the NOMAD family of handheld dental X-ray systems. The department's determination follows an eight-year period during which they established a safe-use baseline of the product.
"When the FDA first cleared the NOMAD in 2005, the regulations governing X-ray systems did not allow handheld operation of an X-ray device," said Kaufman. "Instead, the rules required that the system be operated from behind a barrier, or at a distance of six feet or more from the X-ray head. Recognizing that technology would outpace restrictions, rule-makers allowed for variances to the limitations when alternative methods achieved the same intended result."
Some states, such as Virginia, California and New Jersey, initially took a cautionary approach in allowing for a variance from these rules by requiring operator personnel to monitor radiation ex

By EMILY W. PETTUS
Associated Press
JACKSON ŌĆö Mississippi lawmakers have squabbled for at least 15 years about whether to require voters to show a driverŌĆÖs license or other form of identification at the polls. They havenŌĆÖt enacted a voter ID law, but the issue never disappears and the passion surrounding it never seems to diminish.
Now, itŌĆÖs moving to the Nov. 8 statewide ballot through the initiative process. Voters in the general election will decide whether to put a voter ID requirement in the Mississippi constitution.
If the initiative passes, it will be examined by the U.S. Justice Department, which could block a voter ID requirement or let it take effect. Because of MississippiŌĆÖs history of racial discrimination, the Justice Department reviews any proposed election changes to ensure that they donŌĆÖt adversely affect minority voters.
Supporters say requiring voters to show ID will help ensure the integrity of elections by preventing people from masquerading as others to cast ballots.
Opponents say voter ID amounts to a form of a poll tax, and that it could intimidate older black voters who were once prevented from exercising their constitutional rights under Jim Crow.
The two candidates for governor have different views about the voter ID initiative.
Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant of Brandon says heŌĆÖll vote for it. But as the SenateŌĆÖs presiding officer, he missed a chance to push voter ID into law in 2009.
Democratic Mayor Johnny DuPree of Hattiesburg says heŌĆÖll vote against the initiative. But he says if heŌĆÖs governor and voter ID is part of the constitution, he will uphold it just as he would any other part of the constitution.
ŌĆ£One writer said that it is a solution looking for a problem. And I believe thatŌĆÖs exactly what it is,ŌĆØ DuPree said during a July 21 gubernatorial debate televised from the Mississippi College School of Law.
DuPree said voter apathy is a problem, and officials should step up efforts to educate voters.
ŌĆ£If you want to stop voter fraud, itŌĆÖs not somebody having ID. ItŌĆÖs from people buying votes,ŌĆØ said DuPree, a former Forrest County supervisor. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs from absentee ballots. ThatŌĆÖs where the fraud is. ItŌĆÖs not from somebody showing their ID.ŌĆØ
Bryant said during the televised debate that he believes voter ID will help ensure votes canŌĆÖt be stolen.
ŌĆ£Year after year, the Senate passed a clean voter ID bill that said you needed a government ID that was issued to you by the state of Mississippi,ŌĆØ Bryant said. ŌĆ£See, we call them driverŌĆÖs licenses. But if you didnŌĆÖt have a driverŌĆÖs license, why, you could go to the Department of Public Safety and get an ID at no cost so everyone would have that.ŌĆØ
Voter ID had a chance to become law in 2009, but a group of Senate Republicans killed it. They were among BryantŌĆÖs allies, and Bryant said at the time that he supported their actions.
Republican Sen. Merle Flowers of Southaven led the effort to kill the bill, saying he objected to provisions that would allow people to start voting 15 days before an election. Current law says Mississippians may vote early by absentee ballot, but only for specific reasons such as knowing that theyŌĆÖll be out of town on election day.
Those who killed the bill took a drubbing on conservative talk radio, and there was an unsuccessful attempt to revive it a few days later.
One of FlowersŌĆÖ allies in killing the bill, Republican Sen. Joey Fillingane of Sumrall, started the voter ID initiative. Bryant said itŌĆÖs a good idea to let voters have a say. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the issue that strongly appeals to conservatives could help increase their turnout on the day BryantŌĆÖs on the ballot for governor.

The justices issued two 5-4 rulings in their final session of the term. One decision wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits. The other was a technical legal ruling that said nothing at all about same-sex marriage, but left in place a trial court's declaration that California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.

Think you answered yourself. Originally WoW was a game for gamers. Now it's a game for whatever market will bring them more quantity of players. Currently they think the money is in the asian market, so they went with Pandas, oriental settings and monk class. They lost their principles and moralities along with the respect for their own creation over the years in favour of sheer greed.

PvE & Crafting « Guild Wars 2
Pretty faceroll. Did Arah on hard mode first day I hit level 80 (hard mode, heroic, explorable, whatever), ungeared and with a PuG I randomly joined at the gates. For those that don't know it, Arah is the hardest dungeon of the game. Easy and straightforward, every fight was tank and spank (GW doesn't have holy trinity - my ass. Tell that to the Guardian tank in my party, or the pure DPS elementalist). Didn't use strategies whatsoever other than dodging the obvious red zones of danger that you're warned about 3-4 seconds before anything dangerous really happens in them, which become even more trivial to avoid with the dodge-roll ability. To be honest, the hardest part was some 3-4 regular mob pulls simply due to the stupid amounts of damage they deal, since mechanic-wise they're really easy to dwal with.
And if that wasn't enough, you can corpse-zerg anything without their health resetting. I miss WoW hardmodes, when they were really hardmodes.
i like GW2 but...it's so hard to play temeparks after playing sandboxes...
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Don't worry OP, you're not alone.
I feel bad because so many people were missled about what GW2 really is, but in one month's time nobody will remember as they all quit GW2 to get overhyped about whatever AAA mmo will come next and sell it to the world as if it was yet another "new messiah", "wow killer", "evolution of mmo", "new age of gaming", etc.
As a Reaper friend told me: "The cycle must continue. It is inevitable."
So now what?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2

I can actually prove that the explorable mode of Arah is done, somehow. If you notice in that screenshot, the bottom right corner of the inventory you can see an icon of an item that looks like a monster eye - that's a stack of Shards of Zhaitan, which are soulbound and you can only get in Arah explorable mode as far as I know.
So now what?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Right... there we go with the naysayers and the "this is a troll, he can't have done all that".
Screenshot for proof: http://i45.tinypic.com/357j0gw.jpg
There you can see the level, the armor skin, one of the items of the set (all the items belong to the same set and require 400 Tailor). The staff is Rampager's Pearl Quarterstaff, which is the Exotic 400 Artificier staff, you can look it up in guildhead or GW wiki too, and see the icon is unique so it can't be anything else.
The maps are all completed at 100% - only those I leveled through, I didn't go back through other races low level areas. Had enough tedious grind filling hearts as it is and I'm asking for fun things to do, not more killing X monsters or delivering X bunnies. The overall game exploration is completed at 61%.
I can't prove that I've done explorable mode of dungeons, though.
So now what?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Well, first, to all those that have "checked my posting history of bashing GW2", no offense, but sure you could just take this post as what it is, and spend your time in more profittable ways. I have bashed GW2 because of its bugs made it unplayable for a few days. I fell on the lucky side, my brother-in-law got his account locked for 3 days due to the email authentication system not sending him emails at all. I also detest when something is overhyped, but of course I like the game. I've tired out of repeating that the game is worth the cash I've paid for it even if I went and uninstalled it right now, but I like to be critic with a videogame that created so high expectations, and my mistake perhaps was to believe those expectations. I do the same with every game, even with my "beloved" WoW, which I stopped playing one year ago and I don't see myself playing ever again (not in MoP, definitely).
About the cosmetic grind... this is my character: http://i48.tinypic.com/161gxdx.jpg
Honestly, that aspect looks perfect to me, and I don't know if it can be improved in any way to suit my liking. Don't flame me for it, please, it's my own taste. It doesn't have to be anyone else's.
As I said a few posts ago, I might actually go for the Legendary staff grind, since mine doesn't look so good and I guess that gives me a goal. That's the kind of suggestion I was looking for, and I thank those that mentioned it. Completing all the puzzles sounds like fun too.
I apologize if I'm being overly critic or looking into the game for more than there really is. I tend to form my own opinions about games, but the level of hyping of this game made it nearly impossible to stay isolated and try to not expect much more than what it really ended up being. Which again, is not saying the game is crap. But at this point I don't think it can even compare to GW1 in fun factor, challenge and longevity.
So now what?

No, doing the puzzles and getting a Legendary Weapon sound like good time spenders, so I think I'll work on that for now.
About the gameplay, GW1 wasn't anywhere close as soloable as GW2 is. I've basically solo-steamrolled the story mode, bar the very last mission in which you need to complete the dungeon. I guess it's just a bit of nostalgia, but I don't feel accomplished when things come so easy.
So now what?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Thanks for the replies so far, guess GW2 is just not a full time mmo, but something to keep in the side and play now and then. I'm not heading to Pandaland either, Blizzard destroyed the game with sheer greed, but I hoped GW2 would at least last till Torchlight2 / Neverwinter release.
Legendary items.. yeah I read what you need to craft one. Among other things, 250 Shards of Zhaitan, and you get 4 per boss killed in explorable mode. Sounds like Aion all over in that aspect.
So now what?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
In the 10 days since release, I have:
* Reached level 80
* Completed all the areas I came across to 100%, including Orr ones (except Straits of Devastation which I left at 98% because in my server there is a skill point bugged ever since pre-release)
* Leveled Artificier and Tailor to 400 and crafted myself a full Rare/Exotic (orange) gear set, weapons included (with seldom Trading Post aid - stil not working most of the time).
*Finished the story mode and all the instances, including Arah in Explorable mode with a PuG (someone said this was supposed to be a challenge for the months to come?).
* I don't like the PvP in GW2. (WvW is Wintergrasp all over but even more zergy, structured PvP is broken and completely off balance in every possible imaginable way).
So, what is left for me to do?
Sure, I've played 5-10 hours a day, but I'm noticing people are already quitting the game, and 10 days after I started playing this mmo what can I do to entertain myself? Because I remember how GW1 got me addicted for months and was so much more challenging and difficult to progress through and achieve your goals. But here it appears I've reached all the goals I'd care for in barely a week.
Mind that I'm not complaining that I didn't get my budget for the price I paid, since I've paid the same for games I've uninstalled in 2-3 days and I've still felt satisfied. But I've come from playing WoW during over six years, and I refuse to believe 10 days is all I'm getting from this "new Jesus in mmo form".
"Get a life" comments, please abstain. The fact that anyone replies here means they at least care about playing mmo's and voicing their opinions as much as I do. I'd like comprehensive replies as to what can I really look forward to now in Guild Wars 2, anything that a PvE'er like me could find somewhat entertaining other than farming low level hearts in other starting areas. Those are just a disguised form of grind, and a tedious one at that.
This is not a troll post, either. It sounds snarky because I feel deceived, but I'm actually hoping someone will tell me what I'm missing that will make GW2 a long-term source of fun as it was promised to be.
WoW's launch was FAR worse for the first month, get over yourselves!
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
WoW? You mean a 8 years old game?
Here I was thinking I read somewhere that GW2 was "evolution".
Poll: Does this prove SWG was the better game?
General Discussion « Star Wars Galaxies
SW:TOR was, like GW2, a great game while the storyline lasted. Then it got shelved. Like 99% of my other games, really.
Still well worth the cash. So no, SWG wasn't the better game. It was just the one with a community so small and a budget so low that nobody cared to shoot it down.
Ok maybe I was wrong

The 11 Things TIME Likes Least About Guild Wars 2
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I'd add:
1. Direct Trade player-to-player via barter.
2. Recall stone.
3. Gear inspection tool (with possible future web-based site to check out characters inside out like WoW or Aion)
4. Duels! Just friendly ones, for fun or for challenge. Can even make them so you can toggle yourself "unduelable" so nobody bothers you with duel requests if you don't like that. For me it's important to duel friends for fun, and sometimes strangers to test how you do against one or another class, or just to have a good time for the sake of it.
5. More detailed character sheet and manual. How much damage reduction gives me each point of armor? What skill counts as X when I enable a perk that says "upon using a skill of type X, you gain Y effect". What does "Y effect" really do? What counts as Boon or as Aura? How do combo fields/finishers work? I find all that kind of information crucial when deciding my character build, and the lack of information is annoying. Sure you can dig some info in the wiki or third party sites, but the game needs to be clearer.
Can't even get past level 9....
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people will find having duels a basic mmo feature, especially in a AAA game that is heavily focused into PvP.
If you think otherwise then that's good for you, I guess. Probably in time you'll change your mind, when another game attracts your inconditional praise and love. I like seeing things from outside the box while others are too busy having their honeymoon with a videogame.
The whole game feels like a dumbed down mmo to me. Fun in its own right, and worth the cash (I've already spent around 100 hours, so that's that). But far from the promised Eden it was sold as.
