2010 Complete Election Coverage: VIDEO: Remembering Ted Kennedy's legacy
Text Size

GOP wins to trigger wave of W.H. probes.
DCCC threatens to cut off funding.
Miller: NRSC should be on 'sidelines'
Decoding the Mideast peace rhetoric
Crist: A man without a party
The good , the bad , and the ugly
the days of Camelot .
Ted ,
say hey to Bobby and John for us too .
Ted may have at one time done something good for the counrty, off the top of my head I don't remember a darn thing. To allow him any legacy that doesn't contain a probable murder charge would not be fair.
No one in their right mind could confuse him with being a great man. Maybe one day a few million years down the road, he will finally have some value. Well if he is lucky enough to become part of our oil supply. God knows he wasted enough of our oxygen. Heck it was just Teddy being Teddy right.
BTW, Politico, the Soviets that they expose themselves to be, deleted my post #4 above, it was post #1.
I'd love to know what policy I violated, other than exposing the cold hard truth to Marxists.
Didn't Ted Kennedy rape some young girl in Palm Beach?
Or he was some sort of drunk voyeur while othe Kennedy boys pulled a train on some poor vulnerable girl?
We really really need to see Ted's will.
See all the tax-evading offshore trusts and the billions of unaccounted for dollars stuffed in them.
No matter what good he may have attempted in his life, the only thing I know for certain is that Mary Jo Kopechne and her unborn child by Ted Kennedy can both finally rest in peace knowing that their cowardly murderer is likely burning in hell for all eternity.
May God have Mercy on his soul.

Didn't Ted Kennedy rape some young girl in Palm Beach?
Different Kennedy...William Kennedy Smith...never convicted..bought his way out...another liberal who doesn't have live by the rules the rest of do...her name was Audra Solias but no one in the press seems to give a damn about this poor girl either.
DetCord: Aug. 26, 2009 - 9:31 AM EST
Different Kennedy...William Kennedy Smith...
Yeah, but wasn't Uncle Ted banging back scotch watching his nephew bang the victim?
humanly: i wish his kin the best...and am sorry for their loss
politically: i say good riddance

NO, that was George Bush who raped a 4 year old retarded boy at a childrens receiving home in Dallas. Please try and get your facts straight.
I love it when the left-wing useful idiots are reduced to this!!!
Why little left-wing useful idiot do you faithfully screech "Geroge Bush?"
Why would anyone care? Do you project your pathetic sheeple mentality on the others you encounter who may disagree with your ideological pseudo-religion?
GOP=Jellohead: Aug. 26, 2009 - 12:49 PM EST
So Laura Bush has something to look forward too
Literally ROTFLMAO
Glad I recenlt vacuumed!
Surely you have some Republican children you wish to attack too?
GOP=Jellohead: Aug. 26, 2009 - 12:49 PM EST
When she was 17 years old, the future wife of Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush, then known as
Laura Welch, made a mistake that killed her boyfriend.
Laura Bush was involved in a horrific non-alcohol related automobile accident. Ted the drunken coward walked (stumbled) away leaving Mary Jo and her unborn baby to drown and didn't bother to report it for HOURS...manslaughter by ANY definition. Where's the moral equivalency?
GOP=Jellohead: Aug. 26, 2009 - 12:44 PM EST

As usual, conservatives can back up everything they post while liberals wet their little panties and make up fantasy and lies and try to pass it off as truth...remind anyone else of "health care reform"?
GOP=Jellohead: Aug. 26, 2009 - 4:33 PM EST
Liar. She killed Mike Douglas so she is a KILLER !! so its ok to Murder in your pea d brain ??
Where is the lie? Murder is intentionally killing someone, like Teddy did. His situation was somewhat similar to hers until he failed to tell someone until the next day, effectively leaving her to die which is murder in any court...except the one where liberals and money come into play.
GOP=Jellohead: Aug. 26, 2009 - 4:35 PM EST
Oh , so this was backed up by what again ??
Your own posts validate everything I've written. I can't thank you enough for helping make my point.
Kennedy's "legacy" can easily be summed up as:

Not many people know that LA Trade Tech has a room full of vintage designer and antiquated clothes donated to the school over the years. The archive provides a reference for teachers to show certain silhouettes and a close study of the inner and outer constructions of garments.
Unfortunately due to state budget cuts, the school is struggling to maintain classes, much less maintain the archival quality of the garments, some dating back to the 19th century. Therefore, the student visits to the costume room are few and far between, as careless or extreme handling can break down the fabric.
However, my textile class teacher gave us an opportunity to look through the closet to feel the different textiles designers used. While I loved everything, there were a few standouts I found in my short time in the room. I apologize for the poor picture quality, as I only had my phone & it was cramped quarters.
A jacket from the Edwardian era
Check out the pleated peplum on the bottom of the jacket
Since it wasn't lined, I was able to see the inner construction
Art Deco period in the 1920s
(the dress reminds me a little of this 1925 Callot Soeurs dress at the Met Museum)

This was a lantern sleeve cuff, with some of the panels cut out:

One last thing to leave you with…if you are a California resident, please vote FOR Proposition 30. The proposition would give more money to schools, universities and community colleges. Community colleges are the leaders in training highly skilled manufacturing jobs, however state budget cuts are decimating these technical programs, and we'll never bridge the gap of what students need to learn and what employers require for these jobs. Several technical computer classes have already been struck from the course offerings at LATTC. If bringing the jobs back home is important to you, please support this proposition.

Lights Before Christmas delights zoo visitorsWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Beginning in early August, a core crew of 12 to 15 employees from the horticulture department starts stringing a million lights on branches and trunks across the zoo.
If all the lights were strung end to end, they would stretch nearly 70 miles.
The Toledo Zoo's annual Lights Before Christmas opened Nov. 14 with the lighting of its 85-foot-tall Norway Spruce near the conservatory. More than 35,000 energy-efficient LED lights cover the big tree — almost three miles of lights.
"It's become a tradition for so many families, not just locally but regionally," said Andi Norman, director of marketing and public relations at the Toledo Zoo. "People look forward to this time of year. It isn't the holiday unless you make a visit to the Lights Before Christmas."
This year promises to be as successful as previous years. On opening night, 1,844 people came to visit the Lights Before Christmas. A super busy night will bring in 15,000. The event began in 1986 with 71,000 total visitors. A record attendance for the annual tradition was in 2012 with 179,267 visitors.
Last year, the lights drew 163,711 people over 47 days, with 35 percent of visitors from Lucas County, Executive Director Jeff Sailer recently told Lucas County Commissioners during a presentation about the zoo.
Participants can wander the zoo, see the animals still on exhibit during the cold months and view the lights while drinking a hot chocolate or latte. The dancing light display near Cheetah Valley is sure to delight and carolers will sing on select nights (for a list of carolers visit the zoo's website). Santa will make an appearance at the museum.
New this year is an ice slide near the amphitheater and live reindeer at Winter Village, located at the Broadway Pavilion.
The ice slide has three shoots and opens daily at 3 p.m. and closes with the zoo. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall. A three-ride pass is $5 and a seven-ride pass is $10. The passes are valid for other zoo rides until Jan. 4, the last day of the Lights Before Christmas.
Also at Winter Village is the marketplace, where people can buy glow items, stocking stuffers and treats and food and drink. They can also warm up cold fingers and toes at the firepit.
The Norway Spruce, aged 65-70 years, is taller than the tree in Rockerfeller Center and its trunk circumference is 8 feet, 7 inches. It weighs an estimated 7 tons — about as much as the combined weight of Renee and Louis, two of the zoo's African elephants, according to the zoo's website.
Each August, the zoo is broken down into areas. Each tree or shrub is marked with a piece of tape on what color to use and whether to wrap or drape, the two techniques for stringing lights. About four booms were used this year to reach the high places, said Curator of Horticulture Nancy Bucher.
Bucher has been with the zoo for 33 years and is the inspiration for many of the light designs for the past 15 years. She has been involved in the process since the beginning in the 1980s when they had only 50,000 lights. Every year, they added a thousand to reach today's 1 million mark.
"Over the years as we were challenged to do more and more, we visited other zoos, and we've had a lot of people visit us, too," Bucher said. "The dancing lights was a new idea. … You just look for new ideas."
The day after the show closes, "we don't wait," Bucher said. The lights come down "because the "weather will never be good enough. It will be cold. It goes down a lot faster than it goes up." The workers are finished taking them down by the middle of February.
Bucher's favorite thing about the Lights Before Christmas is visitors' comments, but she also has a special affinity for the clear lights.
"I love colored lights, too, but there's something magical about a whole area filled with clear lights. It just makes it sparkle," she said.
Admission is $13 for adults (ages 12-59), $10 for seniors (60-plus), $10 for children (ages 2-11) and free for children under 2. Group and military rates are available.
The hours of operation are 3-8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday with the zoo closing at 9 p.m., and 3-9 p.m. Friday and Saturday with the zoo closing at 10 p.m.
The Lights Before Christmas is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis tight-lipped on Cardiff spy-gate
CRYSTAL PALACE are still waiting to hear from the Premier League over Cardiff's spying claims.
Cardiff allege that Palace seeked inside information on their starting line-up before the two sides met earlier this month.
Eagles boss Tony Pulis denies they did anything wrong - but Cardiff have lodged a complaint with the Premier League.
Pulis said: "That's down to the Premier League now and the football club.
"For me, let them get on with it and see what they say.
"The best thing to do is wait and see what's said and what conclusions they come to and we will comment as a football club after that."
Palace host Manchester City on Sunday (4.10pm).

BrooklynVegan will be there too, with our showcase happening Friday (6/19) at Lee's Palace with Atlas Sound, Foxes in Fiction, Fresh Snow and a late night set from Yvette.

Doldrums will also play earlier that same night in Yonge Dundas Square, a free show that's also with The Holy Grasp, Hollerado and Born Ruffians.

We posted this when it was first announced, but here's a reminder about the three day event happening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this weekend (11/6-11/8):
Part of 2014 Next Wave FestivalTickets are available at BAM's site.
The Andy Warhol Museum and Dean Wareham
Featuring live performances by:
Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound)
Eleanor Friedberger (The Fiery Furnaces)
Martin Rev (Suicide)
Tom Verlaine (Television)
Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna)
The films of Andy Warhol are provocative milestones of underground cinema, flaunting convention simply by letting the gritty world be itself[1]. They include a motionless eight-hour shot of the Empire State Building, a short of Lou Reed drinking a Coke, and erotic acts aplenty.
In Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films, curated by The Andy Warhol Museum, 15 never-before-seen, digitally restored selections from the 1960s are unveiled. Five artists representing a musical trajectory from the post-Velvet Underground 70s to today--Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500, Luna), Tom Verlaine (Television), Martin Rev (Suicide), Eleanor Friedberger (The Fiery Furnaces), and Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound)--perform live alongside Warhol's celluloid oeuvre, featuring Marcel Duchamp, Edie Sedgwick, Donovan, Warhol himself, and others.
Television also have some shows coming up.
Luna do too!
Martin Rev recently played with Zola Jesus.
Atlas Sound playing free Jansport Bonfire Session with Mas Ysa & Ducktails in Brooklyn's Greenwood Park this weekend
Atlas Sound at Pitchfork Fest 2012 (more by James Richards IV)
We recently mentioned that Deerhunter singer Bradford Cox is bringing his Atlas Sound project to NYC for this year's Downtown Music Festival in October (with Kiesza, Avey Tare, Autre Ne Veut and others), but he'll be in NYC sooner than that. He's playing the next installment of Noisey and Jansport's Bonfire Sessions at Brooklyn's Greenwood Park on Saturday (9/13) from 5-11 PM (555 7th ave in South Slope). It also includes Real Estate side project Ducktails (who also play tonight [9/11] at Baby's with The Stevens) and Mas Ysa. Totally free and RSVP is open now.
This show and Downtown Fest are Atlas Sound's only announced dates at the moment. Check out a video and the show flyer below...

Downtown Festival doing 5 cities; NYC returning w/ Kiesza, Atlas Sound, Autre Ne Veut, Zebra Katz, Avey Tare, more
The Downtown Music Festival is back, and will stage events in five cities this year. The dates and locations are:
Downtown Cleveland - September 19 & 20Lineups are mostly still TBA, but NYC, as you can see in the flyer above, will feature rising 90s throwback pop star Kiesza along with Animal Collective sideproject Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter's Atlas Sound, Autre Ne Veut, Tobacco, Jungle, Vacationer, IAMSU!, Zebra Katz, Mas Ysa, Tink, Saint Pepsi, Computer Magic, and more TBA.
Downtown Minneapolis - September 26 & 27
Downtown New York - October 2-4
Downtown Los Angeles - November 7 & 8
Downtown Houston - November 14 & 15
"This year's event, the festival's third iteration in New York City, takes place at all three rooms of Webster Hall with a special October 2 kickoff show headlined by Jungle at Irving Plaza." The Jungle show they're speaking of is actually the same one that was announced in June, and is part of a tour that also hits Warsaw in Brooklyn.
Tickets for all five cities, along with the Cleveland and Minneapolis lineups are at the festival's website.
Meanwhile, Kiesza was actually just in NYC last week for fashion week where she played at least one party. Did you get into that? How was it?
For those keeping score, that's three NYC music festivals in October, with CBGB and then CMJ to follow in short succession.
La Femme at Bowery Ballroom in March (more by Amanda Hatfield)
France's La Femme have an addictive sound pulling from psychedelic pop, surf rock, ye-ye and more, and as good as their recorded music is, their live shows are crazy on another level. So lucky for us, they've announced that they'll be returning to the US this fall where they have three shows announced so far -- NYC's Le Poisson Rouge on October 16, LA's Echoplex on October 23, and San Francisco's Beach Goth Party on 10/25 with The Growlers, The Drums, DIIV, GZA, Cherry Glazerr, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Chelsea Wolfe, The Spits, Atlas Sound and more. CMJ is right in the middle of that gap, so it doesn't seem impossible that they'll play some shows during that as well. Tickets for LPR go on sale today (8/15) at noon.
All dates are listed, with a couple videos, below...

Jared Leto playing Bradford Cox's lover in new film, beat PS 22 Chorus documentary at the Gotham Awards
"Thanks for your Gotham award jokes, everybody! Really funny. Will be reading 10 on stage! #Gothamjokes" - Mike Birbiglia
Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound) at Osheaga 2012 (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
Jordan Catalano aka Elijah Wood's best friend aka 30 Seconds to Mars frontman aka one of the "alt-est" human beings alive Jared Leto is set to star in the new Jean-Marc Vallée-directed film, Dallas Buyers Club, where he plays an AIDS-infected cross-dresser whose lover is being played by Deerhunter/Atlas Sound frontman Bradford Cox (the alt-est couple ever?), Hollywood Reporter reports (via Pitchfork). The film also stars Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.
Jared Leto also recently directed his own film, a documentary called Artifact, which beat the PS 22 Chorus documentary Once in a Lullabye at the Gotham Awards last night (11/26). Gregory Ellwood was live blogging for Hitfix and after predicting Beasts of the Southern Wild would win, he wrote:
This was voted by members and the audience is shocked. Was there a limit to the number of times you could vote? [Jared Leto] says "This movie, which many of you haven't seen is a very, very personal film. It was made by a small group of people over a few years. It talks about being an artist and art and commerce. I'd like to thank everyone who voted for us online. I know some people are upset that 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' isn't up here and it's a phenomenal film." He adds, "Don't hate me because I won. I love that other film too."The Gotham Awards were hosted by Mike Birbiglia, who was partially telling jokes that were supplied to him by his Twitter followers, some of which he tested out live on stage at the Pretty Good Friends Sandy benefit at The Bell House one night earlier (11/25).
A video of Atlas Sound and Lower Dens playing "Mona Lisa" at a special session during Primavera Sound in Barcelona this past June can be watched below...

Ringo Deathstarr expand tour, playing 4 NYC area shows including SUNY Purchase Fall Fest (dates & lineup)
Ringo Deathstarr in Austin in August (more by Tim Griffin)
Austin trio Ringo Deathstarr released their new album, Mauve, late last month (9/25), and if you've yet to hear it, you can stream the whole thing below. Also below is the video for the album's lead track, "Rip."
They're on tour now supporting the album, and as discussed they'll come to NYC for shows at Shea Stadium on October 21 and Cake Shop on October 22. Those shows happen right after CMJ, and as predicted, the band have since added a CMJ show which happens on October 20 at Ding Dong Lounge with Dead Leaf Echo, Brief Candles, and Scren Vinyl Image. There may be more CMJ week shows added as the fest gets closer (it's pretty close already).
After their 3-night run in NYC, Ringo Deathstarr will return to the NYC area to play the annual Fall Fest at SUNY Purchase on October 27 with Atlas Sound, Mykki Blanco, Joey Bada$$, Pop. 1290, Leather, Tetsuo, Chit Chat, and Ravi Shavi. That festival is technically only open to students and their guests.
An updated list of Ringo Deathstarr dates, the video and album stream are below.

Baroness at Terminal 5 in May (more by Joe McCabe)
Earlier this week, we posted an update from Baroness showing that things were looking upwards for the band. Unfortunately though, with two members having broken vertebrae and frontman John Baizely having a broken arm and leg, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that Baroness have in fact cancelled some of their upcoming North American tour dates, including their NYC show at House of Vans and LA's FYF Fest. They will not be replaced on the House of Vans lineup, which happens on August 29 and now just includes Turbonegro, Doomriders, and Nightbirds. This is a bummer but it makes sense that the band takes the time they need to recover, and we wish them a speedy and successful recovery!
Meanwhile, FYF Fest, which Wild Flag also dropped off of, recently expanded its lineup. It now features The Faint (who just announced they'll be reissuing Danse Macabre and touring the album), Glass Candy, King Tuff, and newcomers The Orwells. Tickets for FYF Fest are still available. The updated lineup and flier are below.

Osheaga Festival - Day 1 review and pics (Sigur Ros, Florence, The Walkmen, Dum Dum Girls, Of Monsters and Men, & more)
Florence / Dum Dum Girls / the scene, Osheaga Fest 8/03/2012
"I can't believe we walked the whole thing."
This was the opening of an e-mail Saturday morning from my friend, the Montreal based singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk. Day 1 of Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival (8/3) was in the books and instead of joining the crush of people all trying to get into the Metro, we opted to walk with a much smaller group of people from Parc Jean-Drapeau, the festival's home, over the closed-off Jacques Cartier Bridge back to the Mile End.
"You know," Leif's e-mail continued, "we could've all just waited for the subway, but then we might have been accused of being reasonable."
What came before the trek from the island to the mainland was a hot, dusty, sweaty blur of music and dancing and a sold-out crowd determined to pull every ounce of enjoyment from their day out.
The highlight for me on Day 1 was always going to be Sigur Ros, who I'd seen just a days before in Philadelphia. Sure, Justice may have been the official headliner on the day, but the Icelandic band, even restricted to their one-hour time slot, felt like the real headliner and reduced the electronic duo and their glorified DJ booth to the equivalent of an afterparty.
Earlier in the day, The Walkmen featured Skyler Skjelset of Fleet Foxes on bass and guitar and Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men packed the field at the Scene Verte stage on the other end of the park for their mid-day set.
The Dum Dum Girls set was delayed with sound issues and once they got going the tech guys spent most of their set running back and forth across the stage adjusting and fixing gear. It was the beginning of a trouble-filled weekend at the Scene des Arbres stage where delays were constant and, on Day 3, Zola Jesus' set was controversially cut short as thunderstorms rolled through. (Festival officials shut her set down just as the worst of the storm had passed.) She took to Facebook to voice her frustration (though what happened in Montreal was nothing compared to what went down at Lollapalooza in Chicago the same weekend).
Gary Clark, Jr. impressed over at the Scene Verte as his loud, fuzzy guitar riffs conjured dancing girls and good vibes.
Along with a beautiful set from Florence and the Machine and a raucous end-of-the-night set from Montreal's Les Breastfeeders, it was a great start to the festival.
Stay tuned for more on Day 2 and 3. More Osheaga Day 1 photos are below.

Grimes / Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival continued on Saturday (7/14), and like day 1, Chicago's Union Park was plagued by some rain, but everything moved along as planned and the weather cleared up by mid-afternoon. Day 2 began with sets by The Psychic Paramount and The Atlas Moth (both of who we unfortunately missed) and then continued with Cloud Nothings, Flying Lotus, Schoolboy Q, Chromatics, Hot Chip, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Grimes and much more.
If you weren't at the festival, did you stream it live?

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry night 3 pics (Beirut, Sufjan, Arcade Fire, Atlas Sound, My Brightest Diamond, Cavemen & more)
photos by David Andrako
The inaugural, Dessner-curated Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival concluded on Saturday night (May 5) with performances from Beirut, Atlas Sound, My Brightest Diamond, Caveman and more.
There were whispers there'd be an unannounced set from The National, but the secret guest Phi Slamma Jamma was actually Arcade Fire's Will Butler, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury, and Richard Reed Parry who performed a bunch of covers (Ramones, R.E.M., Devo, Beatles and the Stones, among others) to cap out the Fest.
Night Two pictures HERE. Night one HERE. Lots of pictures from all of Saturday night's performers (including Sufjan), plus video of Atlas Sound (who also kept busy in others ways while in town), Caveman, Beirut and Phi Slamma Jamma performing a song each, below...

"An exhibition of new work from the photographer Ryan McGinley opens this Wednesday at Team Gallery in SoHo. Technically, it's two exhibitions, because the gallery has two spaces, one at 83 Grand Street and one around the corner at 47 Wooster -- and McGinley's pictures will be at both. The Grand Street location is showing "Animals," studio-made photos of various creatures interacting with naked humans in sometimes cute and sometimes provocative ways. Wooster Street, meanwhile, has "Grids," photos taken at music festivals all over the world, including pictures from Bonnaroo that we commissioned for our Look pages last year." [NY Times]Atlas Sound is also DJing Glasslands this Saturday (5/5), after playing a set at BAM as part of the three day Crossing Brooklyn Ferry which begins TONIGHT (5/3).
In related news, Lotus Plaza just announced a tour. All Atlas Sound dates, including another Pitchfork event, are listed below...

National-curated BAM Festival lineup announced (Walkmen, St. Vincent, Beirut, Sharon, Antlers, Zs & many more)
Remember that Dessner brother-curated festival, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," which is happening at BAM from May 3-5? And remember how when we posted the National-curated ATP lineup we suggested (for obvious reasons) that it might hint at the BAM lineup? Well, the lineup is out now, and there are definitely some similarities to that, and also not surprisingly, to the ongoing Ecstatic Music Festival which is great at highlighting the growing mix between indie rock and indie classical that the Dessners are huge fans of and participants in.
The three day Brooklyn Academy of Music festival includes The Antlers, My Brightest Diamond (w/ yMusic), Sharon Van Etten, and Buke and Gase who are all playing ATP, in addition to The Walkmen, St. VIncent, Beirut, Atlas Sound, Tyondai Braxton (formerly of Battles), Oneohtrix Point Never, Caveman, Sinkane, Twin Shadow, Jherek Bischoff, Pat Mahoney and Nancy Whang (DFA DJ set), Ava Luna, and others which are all listed below. As mentioned, the fest also includes the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the NOW Ensemble.
3-Day Festival Passes go on sale Monday (3/5) to friends of BAM and Tuesday (3/6) to the general public. More details and schedule at the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry website.
Full lineup below...

I hate writing year-end lists, as might be obvious to many long-time BrooklynVegan readers. That said, I also like them. They help organize things, which is related to my problem though. I'm too unorganized and hectic to ever get around to making one! But this year a few of us (BrooklynVegan contributors) got together and decided to come up with a collective list of albums that we loved that we think most represented 2011 in BrooklynVegan land. Our indie rock-centric list purposely does not include metal (that's HERE) or hip hop (we should make a separate list). With that in mind, our top 26 albums of 2011, in alphabetical order, are listed (with some commentary and a list of honorable mentions too) below...

Atlas Sound @ Bowery Ballroom
Atlas Sound (aka Bradford Cox) played his annual winter shows in NYC this past weekend at The Bell House on Saturday (12/17) and Bowery Ballroom on Sunday (12/18) where he he played most of the recently released Parallax, a few older cuts and a Christmas song called "Artificial Snow."
NYCTaper was there and you can download the complete show at his site. He wrote:
What elevated this Bowery show above the rest was not just the final polish on a finished and released album, but the near flawless level of proficiency with which Bradford performed. The Parallax numbers (nine of the twelve songs were played) were stretched out and allowed to breath, while Bradford developed looping tracks that were faithful to the album's theme.--
Bradford recently gave us his list of his ten favorite albums of 2011 and 20 older songs that he's been into over the past year. Check that list out, along with more pics, videos, and the setlist from the Bowery Ballroom show, below...

Parlovr at M for Montreal 2011
It's that time of year again, so let's sing it up real pretty. Are we all in the spirit? Better be, because there's a zillion holiday parties going on this weekend, including two thrown by this very blog you are currently reading. How these parties differ from the shows we go to the rest of the year? Only a Scrooge would ask such a question. But to answer it: there's maybe more strand lights. And some Christmas songs thrown in sparsely by DJs or as covers by the bands playing. And some snowflakey sweaters. Whatever you call it, there's lot of great music to go see this weekend. Here's some of it.
Montreal's Parlovr are visiting, playing two shows. Tonight (12/15) they play the Popgun Holiday Party at Glasslands and then tomorrow (12/16) at Mercury Lounge with Shout Out Louds offshoot thing Serenades.
I'm on record as being a fan of this trio who I most recently saw at this year's M for Montreal. I'm not sure any of their records have quite captured the band's live energy, which is why you should go see them. But the recorded version of my favorite song, "Hell/Heaven," comes pretty close. You can download it above. Live, there's lots of flying hair (via singer/guitarists Alex and Jeremy) and flying limbs (lanky drummer Louis) that fits well with Parlovr's spiky indie rock. The band have recorded a holiday track called "Spike the Eggnog" which judging from the video (you can watch below) the spiking involves something much stronger than whiskey.
The Popgun Holiday Party tonight looks to be a good time, with Bell and TWII-faves North Highlands playing as well. There's also a "+ Special Guest" listed as well, no idea who that might be but the Popgun folks usually don't throw around that phrase too lightly.
Tomorrow's show is with Serenades which is a Swedish super-duo consisting of Adam Olenius from Shout Out Louds and Markus Krunegård of Laakso. Their album Criminal Heaven is out next year in the U.S. and is chock-full of sparkling pop that seems aimed directly at the charts. It's slicker than Shout Out Louds (Laakso were pretty shiny, though they sang in Swedish) but still maintains that sharp melodic sense and shaggy, sad-eyed lyrical bent. You can download a track at the top of this post. Serenades also play tonight (12/15) at Knitting Factory.
Brooklyn Bazaar
There's also the Brooklyn Night Bazaar which runs tonight through Saturday. The enormous space (40,000 square feet!), the layout of which was based on the set of Lars Von Triers' Dogville (!!!), is a holiday shopping, eating, drinking and live music extravaganza as you have probably already heard. Tonight (12/15) is James Murphy DJing, along with Poolside, the Crystal Ark Party Machine and Midnight Magic. Saturday night (12/17) is The Hold Steady, Titus Andronicus and Wakey! Wakey!
Friday (12/16) is the BrooklynVegan Presents night with a SPIN Album of 2011 winners Fucked Up, plus Dom, Big Troubles, Caged Animals, and Radical Dads. Frankie Rose and myself will be spinning tunes before the bands start and between sets. And only $10, so that's only two bucks a band. What a bargain! Tickets will be available at the door too. I am DJing starting at 5PM, Frankie will be there from 6PM and bands start at 7PM, with Radical Dads up first. (Then Caged Animals, Big Troubles, Dom, and Fucked Up.) If you're coming, do make an effort to get there in time for them, they're awesome. As are all the bands on the bill I think. Shop, eat, rock out, eat and shop some more, rinse repeat. Say hi.
Frankie Rose
In addition to DJing our party tomorrow, Frankie Rose is also playing an acoustic set at Glasslands on Saturday (12/17) as part of a Jonathan Toubin benefit that also features Xray Eyeballs, K-Holes and The Stalkers. Frankie Rose's new album, Interstellar, is out in February and I think will surprise a lot of people. She is definitely out of the garage on this one, ditching the reverb and embracing synthesizers, jangly guitars and her inner pop star. Like a lot of folks this year, The Wake seems to be an influence. Fans of Craft Spells are gonna like it.
As previously mentioned, Frankie will debut her new record and new band at the Knitting Factory on February 21.
And to wrap up BV holiday party related items, Saturday's fest with Twin Sister, Widowspeak and Ava Luna is sold out! Hope you got tickets! If you're going, we're raffling off a load of cool prizes -- like every Domino release of 2011 -- with all proceeds benefiting Toys for Tots.
Atlas Sound
And last but not least we've got Atlas Sound here for two shows this weekend:The Bell House on Saturday (12/17, tickets still available) and Bowery Ballroom on Sunday (12/18, sold out). Andrew Sacher wrote about Atlas Sound's new album Paralax a few weeks ago which I'm gonna quote:
The flow of the album subtly works in the slower, more ambient cuts to space out the relatively high amount (for an Atlas Sound record) of pop standouts. Like many pop experimentalists before him, Bradford Cox has mastered the art of leaving his own weird touch on even the simplest tune. This comes across most strongly on "Mona Lisa," a re-recording of a track that appeared on his Bedroom Databank collection. The song is carried by the sort of upbeat acoustic guitar rock that Bowie experimented with on Hunky Dory, and Bradford sings with a fragile falsetto that brings to mind Lennon's "#9 Dream."I'll add that Parallax has a post-2AM vibe to it and some of Cox's best songs yet. It also reminds me, a bit, of Spoon too.
That's the big stuff. Some more picks, day-by-day, follow.

On Windows 2003 the HTTPSSL service (the service that implements SSL) runs in the lsass.exe process. If you ever are interested in running the HTTPSSL service in a svchost.exe process instead of the default lsass.exe here is how you do it.
To configure the HTTPFilter service to run in its own svchost, we have to modify the ImagePath value for the service entry in the registry.
ImagePath C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k HTTPFilter
Restart the HTTP.SYS driver
net stop HTTP /y
net start HTTP
iisreset /start
This will make the HTTPFilter service to run under a svchost.exe instead of the lsass.exe
Ensure you backup the registry key before making the changes.
PingBack from http://blog.a-foton.ru/index.php/2008/10/25/running-the-httpssl-service-in-a-svchostexe/
Pardon my ignorance - what does HTTPSSL service do? I was under the impression IIS handled the SSL sessions.
Interesting, but could you explain why you would want to do this?
Hey VJ,
Why on earth would you want to do this? Wouldn't this cause another context switch?
IIS inturn uses HTTPSSL to handle the SSL part
Chris, Rahul,
Just for debugging purposes.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nearly 70 percent of chief financial officers of US companies believe the US economy will either improve or remain stable during the next six months, according to the 2012 Fall CFO Survey from Grant Thornton LLP. The survey findings reveal that 39 percent of respondents believe the state of the US economy will remain the same in the first half of 2013, while 30 percent believe it will improve. Of those surveyed, 31 percent said it will worsen, which is an increase of ten percentage points from the firm's 2012 Summer CFO Survey findings.
"Only 34 percent of companies expect their financial prospects to improve in the next six months, which means that reluctance to increase hiring and make capital investments will continue to bog down our economy."
That expectation of stability extends throughout the survey findings, with CFOs predicting that industry financial prospects (42 percent), pricing or fees charged (51 percent), and head count (49 percent) will all remain the same in the next six months.
And though the threat of a "fiscal cliff" looms large, 53 percent of respondents say it would not affect the first six months of 2013 for their companies. Further, 60 percent of respondents do not consider the uncertainty of the "fiscal cliff" resolution an obstacle to making business decisions.
"The turbulent years of the recent past have made businesses more adept at managing through economic uncertainty," said Stephen Chipman, chief executive officer of Grant Thornton LLP. "It is reassuring to see that CFOs are confident that we will not take any steps backward in our progress."
Also encouraging, 34 percent of respondents believe industry financial prospects will improve, 35 percent believe pricing or fees charged will increase, and 34 percent say head count will increase.
In addition, according to the survey findings CFOs are committed to keeping several employee benefits the same as last year, including bonuses (55 percent), stock options (69 percent), 401K match (85 percent), and other company-matched retirement contributions (82 percent). On a positive note, 59 percent plan to increase salaries.
"While many companies don't foresee the economy taking a turn for the worse in the next six months, there is still an absence of improving economic conditions that are needed to propel our country into growth mode," Chipman added. "Only 34 percent of companies expect their financial prospects to improve in the next six months, which means that reluctance to increase hiring and make capital investments will continue to bog down our economy."

Reflection on Psalm 141(142)
God Is Man's Refuge, Says John Paul II
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 12, 2003 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of John Paul II's address at today's general audience, which he dedicated to comment on Psalm 141(142).
1. On the evening of Oct. 3, 1226, St. Francis of Assisi was dying: His last prayer was, precisely, the recitation of Psalm 141[142], which we have just heard. St. Bonaventure recalls that Francis "exclaimed with the Psalm: 'I cry with my voice to the Lord, with my voice I make supplication to the Lord' and he recited it to the last verse: 'The righteous will surround me; for thou wilt deal bountifully with me'" ("Legenda Maggiore" [Major Reading], XIV, 5, in: Franciscan Sources, Padua-Assisi, 1980, p. 958).
The Psalm is an intense supplication, dotted with a series of verbs of imploration addressed to the Lord: "I cry [�]," "I beseech the Lord," "I pour out my complaint, lay bare my distress" (verses 2-3). The central part of the Psalm is dominated by trust in God who is not indifferent to the suffering of the faithful one (see verses 4-8). With this attitude, St. Francis faced death.
2. God is addressed with a [familiar] "you," as a person who gives security: "You are my refuge" (verse 6). "You know my path," that is, the course of my life, a course marked by the option for justice. On that path, however, the wicked have set a trap (see verse 4): It is the typical image taken from a hunting scene, and frequent in the supplications of the Psalms, to indicate the dangers and snares to which the just man is subjected.
Before this nightmare, the Psalmist hurls a sign of alarm so that God will see his situation and intervene: "I look to my right hand" (verse 5). According to Eastern custom, to the right of a person was his defender or favorable witness in a court; or, in the case of war, his bodyguard. The faithful one, then, is alone and abandoned, "no friend is there." Because of this, he expresses an anguished fact: "There is no escape for me; no one cares for me" (verse 5).
3. Immediately after, a cry reveals the hope that dwells in the heart of the man of prayer. In such a situation, the only protection and effective company is that of God: "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living" (verse 6). In biblical language, the "lot" or "portion" is the gift of the Promised Land, sign of divine love in the vicissitudes of his people. The Lord now remains the last and sole foundation on which to base oneself, the only possibility of life, the supreme hope.
The Psalmist invokes him with insistence, because he is "brought very low" (verse 7). He entreats him to intervene to break the chains of his prison of solitude and hostility (see verse 8) and to bring him out of the abyss of trial.
4. As in other Psalms of supplication, the final aspect is that of thanksgiving, which will be offered to God after being heard: "Lead me out of my prison, that I may give thanks to your name" (ibid.). When he is saved, the faithful one will go to thank the Lord in the midst of the liturgical assembly (ibid.). He is surrounded by the just, who will regard the salvation of their brother as a gift made also to them.
This atmosphere should also pervade Christian celebrations. The pain of the individual should find echo in the hearts of all; equally the joy of each should be lived by the entire praying community. In fact, it is "good and pleasant when brothers dwell in unity" (Psalm 132[133]:1) and the Lord Jesus said: "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
5. Christian tradition has applied Psalm 141(142) to the suffering and persecuted Christ. In this perspective, the luminous goal of the Psalm's supplication is transfigured in a paschal sign, which is based on the glorious outcome of the life of Christ and of our destiny of resurrection with him. It is affirmed by St. Hilary of Poitiers, famous doctor of the Church of the fourth century, in his "Treatise on the Psalms."
He comments on the Latin translation of the last verse of the Psalm, which speaks of the recompense for the man of prayer and the expectation of being with the just. "Me expectant iusti, donec retribuas mihi." St. Hilary explains: "The Apostle shows us the recompense that the Father has given Christ: 'God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father' (Philippians 2:9-11). This is the recompense: to the body, which has ascended, is given the eternity of the glory of the Father.
"What then is the expectation of the just, which the same Apostle teaches, saying: 'Our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to conform it to his own glorious body' (Philippians 3:20-21). The just, in fact, await him so that he will recompense them, rendering them in conformity to the glory of his body, who is blessed for ever. Amen" (PL 9, 833-837).
[Translation by Zenit]
[At the end of the audience, the Holy Father gave this summary in English:]
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Psalm we have just heard was the last prayer recited by Francis of Assisi on the night of his death in 1226. It is an intense supplication to the Lord, who is the sure refuge of those who place their trust in him. The assembly of the just gives thanks to God for his gift of salvation. Christian tradition sees in this Psalm a reference to the persecuted and suffering Christ, whose resurrection has become the foundation and goal of our hope, the gift of eternal life in the glory of our God forever.
I offer special greetings today to the participants in the NATO Defense College: May you ever be strengthened in your commitment to build peace and increase stability in the world. Upon all the English-speaking visitors present, especially those from England, Malawi and the United States of America, I invoke the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus.
