an interview with Destroyer's Dan Bejar about new LP 'Poison Season,' songwriting, embracing accidents, and more
On his eleventh studio album, Poison Season, Destroyer's Dan Bejar has moved beyond the quiet confrontation of 2011's Kaputt and into a musical realm more orchestral and far-reaching. That's not to imply that the Canadian singer-songwriter and reluctant indie tastemaker has embraced a newfound love for tawdry composition. It certainly suggests, though, that Bejar's creative inclinations have rarely if ever remained fixated on any one path to the music. Having created music as Destroyer since 1995, Bejar is understandably averse to the attitude of pop culture immediacy that assumes impact is equal to investment in one's art form. In a way similar to that of his just as notably talented bandmates in indie pop supergroup The New Pornographers, Bejar is content to let the music go where it will, allowing him to be a sort of vehicle for whatever destination great or small it may lead. It's a topic he and I discussed at length in a recent conversation in anticipation of his current tour with Jennifer Castle that hits Webster Hall on October 4.
Poison Season is very much a departure from Kaputt just in terms of the instrumentation that's involved and the altogether broader sound. Was that shift something deliberate on your part?
I don't think it was a deliberate move, though I agree with your reading of what it sounds like. I think the main thing is that I've never tried to start from scratch. If you look inside the records you'll see that there are tons of overlaps as far as the actual music making goes and as far as my songwriting goes. I feel like it's kind of more etched in stone than probably 99% of other songs out there, I mean, to a fault. If anything, it's like: Oh fuck, this really stands out me being myself, or here's me being me again. I don't think that changes too much. I guess in the postproduction, which is pretty elastic, I agree that sonically speaking, Poison Season and Kaputt couldn't be more different, but that's just like a world of weaver plugins and EQs and a certain approach to compression, which just got ignored in favor of classic 70s hardware and fancy microphones and a fancy recording space and the sound of a bunch of people playing in a room together. I don't think we were lampooning anything at the time, but when you listen to it now, the record that I did that came out in 2004 called Your Blues - I don't know, you can see the seeds of it. Even its use of a bunch of midi orchestral sounds, which sound like an orchestra really to anyone but me. The general feel of it is basically like a carbon copy or a blueprint of what we sounded like on stage in 2012. That was really a hyped tour and like the one in 2011, which was more of a Kaputt cover band tour, played more into Destroyer sounds, I guess. But anyone who saw those shows is going to listen to Poison Season and not blink an eye. It's like, oh I see, you guys went out and made a record. I think the one thing was this approach to strings and maybe an approach to the woodwind arrangement, which is faster but also has kind of a classical American film score style arrangements or something like jazz arrangements as opposed to just having Joseph shred all over the record like he did for Kaputt. But the instincts in Poison Season, you could find them on being used on any of the Destroyer albums.

Destroyer's "Times Square," the centerpiece track to new album Poison Season, has now been turned into a charmingly weird music video. Director Shayne Ehman says the video started with an ill-fated trip to New York. "We ended up just wandering around New York til 3am and the city seemed completely dead. We could have been anywhere, really," which then put them on a different track. "I needed to get outside and shoot in natural light in order to serve as a sort of conduit for those 'forces of nature in love...' which seem to rule the song. I let the sun do its thing and let the earth do it's thing and watched time unfold. I watched the clouds unfold and unpack and packup. I was at their mercy, completely."
There's the briefest of shots from the NYC tourist mecca, but most of the video takes place in the forrest where magical woodland beings smoke dope from a saxaphone, lick mushrooms and get weird. Also: a little Dan Bejar lip-synching. Watch it below.
Catch Destroyer on tour this fall. Tickets are still available for the NYC show at Webster Hall on October 4.

Destroyer's new album, Poison Season, is out next week via Merge and, like with Beach House's Depression Cherry, some of you out there may already have your leak-loving mitts on it. For those who don't do that sort of thing, the album is now streaming via NPR. While not as cohesive as 2011's Kaputt, here you get The Many Shades of Dan Bejar: the Bowie-esque rocker, the dive bar cabaret singer, even the cruise ship entertainer. Plus three distinctly different takes on "Times Square." Destroyer is always worth your time, listen below.
See Dan and Destroyer live at NYC's Webster Hall on October 4 as part of his fall tour with Jennifer Castle. Tickets are still available.

The new Destroyer album, Poison Season, is out at the end of August and Merge Records has just shared another song from it, "Times Square." With acoustic guitars and prominent sax, it's Dan Bejar at his most Al Stewart, all wistful and dramatic. "You could follow a rose wherever it grows, or you could fall in love with Times Square." The NYC tourist hub isn't very lovable these days if you ask me but if anyone could make it romantic, it's Bejar. Listen below.
Destroyer will be closer to Astor Place when he plays NYC's Webster Hall on October 4 as part of his fall tour with Jennifer Castle. Tickets are still available.

Destroyer's new album, Poison Season, will be out August 28 via Merge. Where 2012's Kaputt was a unified front, sonically -- all neon-lit, rain-soaked streets, new romantic vibes and fire escape sax -- this one has many different moods. First single "Dream Lover" was a heartland rocker and now we get "Girl in a Sling," which finds Dan Bejar in mournful torch song mode. It comes with an equally dark video, directed by David Galloway who spoke a little about the vibe he was trying to achieve:
We wanted to make a video that dealt with central Destroyer themes: to some, Destroyer is a lech; to some, he is an arsonist; to some, he is a savior. To me, he is the consummate comedian, but he resists that role. So we decided to go the opposite way and make something sad, something tragic, something that fits the new record. The adage "comedy equals tragedy plus time" is attributed to Carol Burnett's mum. Or it might have been Steve Allen. Either way, I always want Dan to do physical comedy, but he resists. He's a natural, though. He's the Pacific Northwest's Buster Keaton, and I hope one day to share that with the world. One day. For now, though, there's just this sadness. This poison season.You can watch the "Girl in a Sling" video below.
In addition to the new album, Destroyer will also release a companion 12" single on August 28, featuring a remix of "Forces from Above" and "Times Square, This Poison Season" on the flip.

Frog Eyes releasing new LP 'Pickpocket's Locket' (stream a song), touring, including dates with Destroyer
Victoria, BC's Frog Eyes will release new LP Pickpocket's Locket on August 28 via Paper Bag Records. The new LP's genesis was a little different than usual. Main main Carey Mercer explains:
My dad left me his acoustic guitar in his will; it was all he had to give, because he wasn't a rich man. I wrote ten songs on it, and I think that was the real gift he gave me: a love of music, not just the way you all love it (music lovers), but also a love of creating it, sowing myself, in some small way, into the story of music.The record features guest appearances by Spencer Krug, and violinist Jesse Zubot. You can listen to "Joe With The Jam" from the album, below.
I was holding the guitar a lot, kind of savoring it: a Martin D-18. I had been making records for a few years with a computer, piling tracks on tracks, writing words over guitar licks already recorded in a studio.
I came to think of an acoustic guitar as somehow akin to a computer, only in the sense that they are both tools of transmission, both effective in their own way.
An acoustic guitar is still, in 2015, a very effective way of transmitting one's songs. I made a deal with myself: write ten songs, write all the words before anyone gets to hear any of the songs, memorize the songs so that I become the hard-drive that the acoustic guitar accesses. I mostly, if not totally, kept to this deal, which is rare: I'm generally pretty easy on myself.
Frog Eyes will be touring this fall, including dates with Destroyer. They're not on the NYC date of the Destroyer tour (10/4 @ Webster Hall), unfortunately, but all are listed, along with Pickpocket's Locket artwork, tracklist and track stream, below.

Destroyer hasn't released a full length since 2011's excellent Kaputt, but he's finally ready to do that this year. He'll release Poison Season, a double album, on August 28 via Merge in the US and Dead Oceans in the UK. He just shared first single "Dream Lover," which is more of a swaggering upbeat rock song than the sophisti-pop of Kaputt, but still full of saxophones. Listen, and check out the album tracklist, below.
Dan Bejar & co. will also be touring internationally in support of the record for about two months from September to November. That tour hits NYC on October 4 at Webster Hall. That date and many others are with Jennifer Castle. Tickets for Webster are on sale now.
All dates are listed, with the new song and album tracklist, below...

Hello, Blue Roses (Dan Bejar and Sydney Vermont) released a new album featuring Frog Eyes' Carey Mercer (listen)

Back in 2008 Hello, Blue Roses, the musical and romantic pairing of Dan Bejar and artist Sydney Vermont, released The Portrait Is Finished and I Have Failed to Capture Your Beauty, an album steeped in '70s folk. (Some of you in NYC may have gone to see them at Glasslands as well.) Seven years later, HBR are back with Album #2, titled WZO. The record was produced by Dan's Swan Lake bandmate and Frog Eyes frontman Carey Mercer, who plays on the album as well. It's out now and you can stream the whole thing below.
Now if we can just get a new Destroyer album. Dan's other other band, The New Pornographers, are currently on tour with Operators.

The New Pornographers @ The Brill Building 9/4/2014
"This is a throwback to those classic Brill Building basement shows...you know, like when Carol King would do Sonics' covers? It's in the book. That I'm going to write." Carl Newman, defacto leader of Canadian supergroup The New Pornographers, was joking about the deserted Brill Building storefront (technically next door to the famous golden BB entrance) that was hastily converted into a venue for this record release party. Anyone there who bothered to look up could see up into the next floor via holes by the building supports. Same for the floor -- Newman warned "Please don't fall into the abyss!" This was closer in vibe -- and in un-AC'd temperature -- to 285 Kent than something you'd expect in Times Square. It was HOT in there but a cool nod to pop songwriting's past that clearly is an influence on The New Pornographers in general and their great new album, Brill Bruisers, specifically.
The show, which was presented by NPR and hosted by All Songs Considered's (and nonstop showgoer) Bob Boilen, featured The New Pornographers in full effect, with Neko Case and Dan Bejar both there, along with the rest of the band, including new touring member Coco Hames (of The Ettes). (NPR gave away tickets via Twitter.) The band sounded fantastic and they were all clearly having a blast, despite the sweatbox atmosphere. Drummer Kurt Dahle, in particular, seemed to be having a particularly good time, making faces while dropping crazy fills on new LP track, "Spidyr." (I think I spent half the show just watching him.)
The crowd was eased into the new album, starting with a couple oldies first -- "Moves" from Together then Bejar sauntered out for Challengers' nugget "Myriad Harbor." Then we got our first taste of Brill via the driving "Dancefloor Domine," which is a good showcase for the new arpeggiated-keys-ELO-ABBA vibe of the new album. We got about half of Brill Bruisers, including the title track which is much more a wall-of-sound force live than on record. (They played it on Letterman the night before, video below.) Bejar came back out for single "War on the East Coast" which was extra-energized by some crazy/effected guitar blasts by Newman.
Other older tracks included "The Laws Have Changed," "Twin Cinema," "Mass Romantic" (many cheers for that), and they finished the hourlong set with the "hey las" of Twin Cinema deep cut "The Bleeding Heart Show." I woulda personally liked a couple more from the new album -- specifically "Champions of Red Wine" and "Marching Orders" -- but it was a solid, leave 'em wanting more set and was easily the best New Pornographers show I've seen since the Electric Version tour.
The New Pornographers -- with Neko and Dan -- will be back in NYC when their fall tour hits Hammerstein Ballroom on November 17 with openers The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (tickets). More pics and setlist from the Brill Building show, plus the Letterman performance video, below...

Yesterday, Pitchfork posted their top 200 tracks of the decade so far, and today they've listed the top 100 albums to have come out between 2010-2014. There's some surprises on there. For example, I didn't expect to see Bon Iver's self-titled, their #1 album of 2011 and with a score of 9.5, rank as low as #27 on this list. I was also surprised to see Chief Keef make it but not, say, Shabazz Palaces or Schoolboy Q. And there's a few other glaring omissions: nothing by The National? Grizzly Bear? One thing that will surprise no one though, is their #1 pick.
You can check out the full list below...

It was 2013. The English language seemed spent, despicable, not easily singable. It felt over for English; good for business transactions, but that's about it. The only other language I know is Spanish, and the only Spanish songs I really know are those of Sr. Chinarro, led by Antonio Luque. I've been a decades-long fan of how he conducted his affairs, his strange words, his melodies that have always felt so natural (this is important), his bitter songs about painting the light. Something about them, I knew I could do it...Destroyer will follow up 2011's incredible Kaputt, with a five-song Spanish language EP featuring five covers of songs by Antonio Luque. Five Spanish Songs was produced by longtime collaborators JC/DC and will be out November 29.
- Dan Bejar
No songs from the EP have been released yet, but you might hear some of them on Bejar's solo tour which hits NYC on November 10 at Bowery Ballroom with Pink Mountaintops opening. Tickets for that show are still available.
After his North American tour (to which he's added a couple shows since we last posted), Bejar heads to Europe to do the same. Updated tour dates are listed below.

Buzzcocks / Bon Iver / Squeeze
"The earlier part of the afternoon felt a little sleepy. People waking up late after Friday, taking their time getting to the festival, and the earliest bands on the bill usually have a gentler style of music anyway. That all changed, for us at least, with the arrival of the Buzzcocks, those spiky, rapid-fire elder statesmen of melodic British punk, on stage in the Gobi tent.Before Radiohead closed out Saturday with a near-2 hour headlining set, Coachella-goers were treated to live music by Jeff Mangum, the Buzzcocks, Squeeze, fIREHOSE, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bon Iver (videos & setlist HERE), Andrew Bird, The Shins, SBTRKT, Flying Lotus, A$AP Rocky (who played at the same time as Radiohead), Feist, Noel Gallagher, Destroyer, Grace Potter, The Head and the Heart, and many more.
Founders Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle look older now -- it's been 35 years or so since they launched the band --but their voices are strong, their rapid-fire guitar riffing still delivers an electric current to the brain. And, bonus for fans on Saturday, the short length of many of their songs meant you got a whole lot of Buzzcocks packed into a 55-minute set." [Orange County Register]
You saw our pictures of Friday HERE and HERE, and St. Vincent and Radiohead from Saturday. The rest of Saturday, below...

Radiohead @ Roseland Ballroom in 2011 (more by Bao Nguyen)
Coachella which is taking place over the course of two weekends this year (April 13-15 and 20-22) revealed their 2012 lineup. Last week, Azealia Banks was the first artist confirmed, and earlier today they confirmed The Weeknd (maybe he found a band?), and before that, Jimmy Cliff, Breakbot, and Housse De Racket. The reunited Pulp then announced itself. The full lineup also includes headliners The Black Keys, Radiohead, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, not to mention, as predicted, the reunited At the Drive In and the reunited Mazzy Star (!), and Madness and Refused (!) and Jeff Mangum and many, many more that you can see 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...
We already posted Pitchfork's and SPIN's, so... here's Rolling Stone's top 50 albums of 2011. It's got tons of big sellers and major label players taking high spots like Adele, Jay-Z and Kanye West, Paul Simon, and Lady Gaga, but then something unexpected like tUnE-yArDs places at #13. There are also some odd inclusions like Wavves' Life Sux EP and then some albums you could only find on a Rolling Stone list like SuperHeavy (the supergroup featuring Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and others). They also give shots to Little Dragon, Josh T Pearson, Das Racist, Wild Flag, and many more. Check out the full list below...

I've mostly travelled for work in recent years, so travel for pleasure is a rare treat and I always want it to be special. I love to get a local's feel for a new location and I know that it's local knowledge that can make all the difference.
Art and food, history and all things a little bit quirky, are hugely important interests when I travel. Hmmm...especially food.... new experiences for my taste buds are always high on the list of things-to-do!!
I, and my little family, are great guests. We're very well trained and you can be sure that we'll treat your place like it's our own (actually - probably even better than that).

Woodridge boys bowling team facing expanded schedule this season
PENINSULA — Woodridge High School boys bowling head coach Keith Shovestull said his team will "have a full schedule this season." This year's slate includes nine more matches than last year's schedule.
"The boys will be bowling in 23 matches this season," he said. "We are hopeful that by adding more matches and tournaments, the team will gain needed experience and confidence on the lanes."
Last season, Woodridge finished 5-9 overall and 3-3 in the Portage Trail Conference (PTC), good for second place in the league.
"Five of our eight bowlers were graduating seniors last year, and one sophomore, who carried a 180 average, moved out of Ohio," Shovestull stated. "Max Myers was a first team all-PTC selection, and Nick Freund was a second team all-PTC selection."
This season, the coach said he has seen plenty of enthusiasm from his team.
"I have already noticed a sense of commitment and a passion to improve. These kids love to practice and want to get better," he stated. "I wish we had more time on the lanes, but unfortunately we are at the mercy of the bowling center's schedule and can only practice a couple of times a week on the lanes."
A 23-match slate will allow the team's top young players to gain plenty of experience, Shovestull said.
"We have two freshmen, Brandon Fleming and Alex Rager, and one sophomore, Caleb Francis, who are all bowling at the high school level for the first time," he said. "Having only one sub creates a real problem when one or more of the starters are struggling."
According to the coach, Fleming and Rager are both standing out as freshmen.
"Both of them have youth league experience, and Brandon has bowled in several youth tournaments and performed well," he stated. "Brandon currently has a 168 match average and Alex a 166. I am expecting those averages to rise as they gain more experience throughout the season."
Shovestull said Francis is "going to surprise a lot of people this year."
"He had a 100-pin tryout average and has already improved to a match average of 141," the coach said. "Caleb is a very hard worker and has a desire to improve. He learns quickly and is coachable."
The seniors on this year's team are Bryson Swain and Steven Griffith.
"Bryson is a starter and is currently leading the team in average with a 180," Shovestull said. "Steven is a quality sub who can come into a match and fill frames for us."
Through Dec. 7, Woodridge was out to a 1-5 start, but the team is showing improvement, Shovestull said.
"We have a tendency to dig ourselves into a hole in the first game of matches and are then not able to climb out. Also, we have been bowling against some very talented teams," he said. "I think once we get into our own conference, our record will improve and we will become more confident on the lanes. There is no reason why this team cannot compete for a championship in the PTC league. Other teams in the conference are also trying to rebuild, so it should be an interesting season in our conference."
This is Shovestull's fourth season as head coach. His assistant coach is Tina Fleming.
"This is her first year coaching high school bowling. Tina is an accomplished bowler, and she relates well to the kids," Shovestull said. "Her knowledge of the game is going to be a huge asset for this team as they continue to improve."

A television grab of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly chamber.
KUCHING: The Sarawak Legislative Assembly has unanimously voted in favour of a resolution to request the Federal Government for an increase in the oil royalty from 5% to 20%.
A motion on the increase was originally tabled by Chong Chieng Jen (DAP-Kota Sentosa) but an amended motion, which included seeking more development grants from the Federal Government aside from the royalty, was subsequently tabled by Abdullah Saidol (BN-Semop) and approved.
Abdullah said his motion was in line with Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem's recent statement in support of an increased royalty.
"We plan to invite the Federal Government to revisit the royalty arrangement, which includes reviewing the relevant legislation. The Chief Minister's statement was not mere political rhetoric but a representation of the genuine sentiment of all Sarawakians.
"This motion is about our desire to review the royalty rate to a quantum more favourable to us. It can be also construed as a request for more development funds which we can channel to rural areas where basic needs like electricity, clean water and roads are still needed," he told the House on Tuesday.
Abdullah added that the state wished to mutually negotiate a revision of the royalty with the aim of achieving a better deal in order to accelerate development.
"We don't want the Federal government to accommodate our request on humanitarian grounds but must be able to impress upon them that we have the right to be treated equally as a partner when we jointly formed Malaysia," he said.
However, he said the pursuit of a higher royalty rate must not affect the close working relationship, mutual respect and cordiality between the state and Federal governments.
Meanwhile, Chong said he did not mind that his motion had been amended by a Barisan backbencher.
"Once a motion is passed, it is the House motion. It does not matter who originates the motion. This day we will make a unanimous decision and give our full support even if the motion comes from Barisan.

Friday Afternoon Confessional: Finnegan's Slumber
If there's an -ist that applies to me it's pensivist. Maybe I should go cold turkey on thinking. I confess that the strategy of doing it moderately doesn't feel like the winning strategy. And what is a strategy if it is not winning. Isn't it all about winning? It is. It is. It is. Therefore I am. Whether I like it or not. Nobody asked me. Except myself. Precisely nobody, that is.
I'm reading Finnegans Wake. I confess to ambivalence about it. It's great but makes me feel little. What is the point?, is that the point? It is a snake; it is; it is; it is. But I was bitten long before. Now I'm just rattled. Ha. The beauty of it is: it is self-contained. I read it without trying to understand.
But let me think about the eternal recurrence of the eternal recurrence. I hate it but confess to loving those who seem to love it, or, at least, who love those who love those who seem to love it. The thing is that those who seem to love it are those who break the cycle and, methinks, Finnegans Wake breaks the cycle.
Thus –>
Book Club
I've been a slouch on the first book, but I promise to step it up for Tom McCarty's C, coming to summer book club at The Weblog soon.
The Kitsch Spectrum
The swiftly dawning realization in the first few pages of The Flame Alphabet that the narrator is about to abandon his child is powerful to the point of verging on kitsch. I had two simultaneous reactions to it.
The first was a straightforward emotional reaction. Reading as a relatively new father, it struck me as unbearably, chokingly sad, triggering the same feeling I get from catastrophizing about my daughter.
The second was in a more familiar mode for me. Reading as a critical reader (or as a jerk, take your pick) it struck me as slightly de trop. Dead babies, man, to steal from Martin Amis. I have a similar feeling about the movie Gravity, although family tragedy makes more native sense in a family horror story than in a space adventure. But there's still a level on which it works and works hard. (I stopped discounting my sympathetic reaction to Gravity after talking to a friend who had lost a child and admired the movie.)
At the same time, the book is also an extended riff on how annoying teenagers are (with a Jewish girl teen at the center). Take my daughter… please!
Our Experimental Summer II: Reading Schedule ('Shedule") for Tom McCarthy's C
Hello fellow heteronomists and readers of hard books. Officially we finished Ben Marcus's The Flame Alphabet last Friday, but we have given ourselves an extra week for those who needed to catch up to do so, and I at least will still be reading your posts, and comments on my post, with great enthusiasm, like the friends and family of a marathon runner who stick around the finish line even if the professional runners have crossed some time ago.
We said we thought it would take us four weeks to read our next book Tom McCarthy's C. I gather that, as with Marcus, an earlier book of McCarthy's was praised as sheer experimentalism, and then this one was praised as being an attempt to marshal certain avant-garde tendencies to help tell a more traditional story. As i write you this, that is absolutely all I know about McCarthy, except that he writes out of Great Britain, hence the proper pronunciation in the title of this post.
We said four weeks and the book is in four parts, but inconveniently for us, since it's best to do a little less than exactly 1/4 of a book for the first week as we acclimatize ourselves. Hence and ergo this is what we should be aiming to read and by which date:
Friday July 3: pp 1-78 (chs. 1-4)
Friday July 10: pp. 79-171 (chs. 5-7)
Friday July 17: pp.172-297 (chs. 8-10, i.e., through Part Three)
Friday July 24: finish
C you next Friday– (ha ha c what I just did there?)
Bad Dad
I think what surprised me the most about the positive and negative reviews I read of The Flame Alphabet was that all seemed to agree with the first-person narrator Sam that everything he was doing, he did out of love for his wife and daughter. Was it perverse of me to think that this was not the case, and that Marcus was perfectly aware that this was not the case?
Also in Lieu of My Own Reaction–Some Critics Weigh In
I've finished the book, and I found it upsetting, so while I'm waiting for you all to post and for my own thoughts to settle, I went on-line to five Respectable Publications to see what people had to say, and got six interestingly discordant reviews. Continue reading
Happy Fathers' Day –not
I just finished Flame Alphabet, and will post something serious about it later, but hoo boy was it an acrid thing to be reading on Fathers' Day. "Fatherhood is perhaps another name for something done badly" (256).
Tuesday Hatred: Luck Loves Balls and Balls Love Luck
"Techne loves Tyche and Tyche loves Techne"
Is what a German philosopher (Gadamer) reports a Greek philosopher (Aristotle) as quoting from 'the poet'(which I'll suppose to be Homer on account of the definite article). Just replace Techne with 'skill' and Tyche with 'luck', and the saying is the received wisdom of the lucky bastards who can afford to oligopolize the popular media.
I hate it (the latter). On the former I believe Homer, Aristotle and Gadamer (whilst lucky bastards themselves) to have something more nuanced in mind than making success and merit synonymous.
But to hell with nuance: the reality is that "Luck loves Balls and Balls love Luck". Or (to construct an anachronism) – "Testes love Tyche and Tyche loves Testes", because testosteron still makes the world go round as those unlucky enough to be born without an overdose of it feel every month in their paycheck. And I'm not only talking about women.
So if you want follow me on some fun facts on the importance of testicles for networking, my hatred continues below the fold. Continue reading
For this week's reading, we get a certain amount of reveal of how Marcus's world works, and Marcus specifies a little more clearly what he thinks his theme is; we get a long stretch –difficult for me to enjoy– when the protagonist is alone in the middle of a bureaucracy; and, by sheer chance, we stopped just as the story seems geared to move back to the question of family bonds. Continue reading
Language in our world, and the world of The Flame Alphabet: some passages
What other sorts of things happen in a world where the speech of children is toxic to adults? What aspects of the "real world" is Marcus commenting on with this allegory/symbol/what-have-you? Continue reading

Best Blogs of 2012: Voice Media Group Music Writing Award Winners
Photo by Christine Taylor Jesse Sykes Photo by Larami Serrano Shea Serrano
1:45: "Thriller"? This guy is killing me. Zero continuity. He couldn't have spent any time planning this mix, right? I mean, fuck. One time for Valentine's Day I gave a girl some chocolate milk, a pair of neon shoelaces and a card with a picture on it of a dog smoking a cigar that I'm fairly certain was meant to go to a dad celebrating the birth of his first child. (All available at your local Walgreens, FYI.) In fairness, I was only 14 years old, which meant I wasn't having sex yet, which meant I wasn't really trying to impress her that much, but still. It was bad. I knew it even then. This is worse than that.
Serrano is a full-time ESL teacher and father of three in Houston who writes regularly for Houston Press, L.A. Weekly, XXL, MTV, Grantland, and many others. He also created and illustrated Bun B's Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book, which will be available in print next fall through Abrams books.
My family had a little house in Bethel, New York, a town in the Catskills, right down the road from Yasgur's farm where the Woodstock festival was held...I remember the shot-out windows, the half moon on the outhouse door, the metal porch chairs, and the complete silence. The house stood in a meadow surrounded by 150 acres of deep woods. I was too young to remember, but my dad always liked to tell the story of how Max Yasgur supposedly held me in his arms when I was a baby. As a teenager, my dad would take me to the field where Woodstock all went down, and I recall feeling an intense ache in my chest and throat, a sweet kind of sadness. I had not been there, yet I felt I had.
Sykes is an Iowa-based singer-songwriter. After releasing three well-received albums on Barsuk Records, her band, the Sweet Hereafter, self-released its latest record, Marble Son. She began writing for Seattle Weekly in January.

12/24/2014 - "I was not supposed to receive my ornament until after Christmas. I did send an email telling you the ornament was for my 82 year old mom. I had to wait to place this order late because she was having so many health issues, including surgery. A response was sent telling me you would do everything possible for it to arrive before Christmas. Today, Dec. 23rd, 2014 the ornament arrived in the mail! I cannot thank everyone enough for trying so hard just for one customer. My mom will think this is the greatest gift she's ever received and I can not thank you enough.

Engaging Decision-makers on Family Planning: Some Right IDEAs›From the Wilson Center // August 10, 2015 // By Carley Chavara
Just a few years ago, progress on global family planning and reproductive health policy seemed to be stuck in a rut. "For 20 years, development money for health had been directed to fight HIV and poverty, and as a result, momentum, interest, and funding for family planning had dwindled," said Susan Rich, vice president of global partnerships for the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), at the Wilson Center on July 15. "Unmet need for family planning was high all over the world, but especially in Africa." [Video Below]
How Successful Were the Millennium Development Goals? A Final Report›July 28, 2015 // By Josh Feng
Earlier this month, the United Nations released a final report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the framework that has guided global development efforts for the last 15 years. The document examines each of the eight MDGs and finds that "despite many successes, the poorest and most vulnerable people are being left behind." As one of the first global poverty reduction movements nears its end, the report calls for better data collection practices to create a post-2015 development agenda that can overcome the MDG's shortcomings.

50 Years of Family Planning at USAID: Successes, Political Challenges, and Future Directions›From the Wilson Center // July 10, 2015 // By Josh Feng
Since President Lyndon B. Johnson created the USAID population program in 1965, it has evolved in tandem with the global discourse on population and demography. "The agency's family planning program is as relevant today as it ever was, and is necessary," said Jennifer Adams, deputy assistant administrator of the U.S. Agency of International Development's Bureau for Global Health. The bureau houses the Office of Population and Reproductive Health, which implements U.S. development and relief efforts to expand access to modern contraceptives, fight HIV/AIDS, reduce unsafe abortions, and protect the health of women and children.

Swept Under the Carpet: The Psychological Side of Maternal Health›Dot-Mom // From the Wilson Center // May 18, 2015 // By Carley Chavara
In high-income countries, as many as 10 to 15 percent of women experience depression, anxiety, or other non-psychotic mental health challenges during pregnancy or the year after giving birth. In developing countries, the chances rise to 16 percent of pregnant women and 20 percent of post-natal women, according to Jane Fisher, professor of women's health at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

Measuring the SDGs: Investments in Mapping, Geospatial Data Collection Critical to Success›Guest Contributor // May 5, 2015 // By Alex Fischer
To ensure no one is left behind by the next generation of global development goals, a comprehensive mix of robust data is needed to measure progress and guide investments. A recent report coordinated by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network estimates the world will need to spend roughly $1 billion a year to sustain and enhance the statistical systems supporting and evaluating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the successors to the Millennium Development Goals expected to guide the development agenda for the next 15 years.
Accounting for 1 in 3 Maternal Deaths, Health Disparities Persist in South Asia›Dot-Mom // From the Wilson Center // April 29, 2015 // By Linnea Bennett
The state of maternal health in South Asia is difficult to assess. Although rates of maternal mortality are declining between 2 and 2.5 percent a year overall, the region's massive population – one fifth of the world and over 1 billion people in India alone – means it still accounts for one out of three maternal deaths.

Antonio Banderas is convinced the human race is living on borrowed time and he's branded the 9/11 atrocity "the end of civilization as we knew it."
The Spanish actor has been struck by the "pain" of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, who were so angry about the practices of global bankers they resorted to drastic sit-ins in cities across the globe.
He's adamant the advent of the Internet could spell the end of the world - and he believes humanity was fundamentally changed forever when terrorists slaughtered nearly 3,000 people in the U.S. on September 11, 2001.
Banderas tells Britain's Seven magazine, "What is happening with all this pain now? There are people in the streets who are angry. Something has to happen. I think we are realizing that governments can't govern us any more.
"I think it all started happening with the end of the (Twin) Towers. With the fall of those towers, we were witnessing the end of civilization as we knew it. The ways in which we communicate have changed. It's almost spiritual. The web, the Internet.
"There's something happening in the world that didn't happen before. We are acting like one big brain. The problem is that if we get in a suicidal mood the end may happen. If we get in a positive mood it will not."

St Mary's top student
Relevant offers
St Mary's School year 8 pupil Abbey Hogg has followed in her older sister's footsteps, receiving the supreme award at the school's end of year liturgy yesterday.
About 300 pupils, staff, family and friends gathered in the school hall to celebrate pupils' achievements.
The annual Top All-Round Student Award goes to one student who is a positive role model and has shown academic progress and achievement, participation in extra-curricular activities and contribution to school life.
Abbey received the award three years after her sister, year 11 Marlborough Girls' College student Megan Hogg.
Although slightly overwhelmed, Abbey was "really happy", after being selected from a shortlist of six candidates. Her contribution to school life during years 7 and 8 included involvement in the school choir, representing the school in netball and tennis and playing guitar for the school band.
About 45 year 8 students were acknowledged for academic, cultural and sporting achievement as well as for service.
The school also farewelled teacher Mary-Angela Tombs after 14 years' service, Father Bill Warwick, and all 28 year 8 students.

The last 4Km is rather hair raising at times around the narrow bends with big drops etc. On arrival you are met with a building painted white and red, a colour scheme throughout. We had a comfy room and it was comfortable overlooking the main entrance, caused no trouble at all.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful, service good.
But it is the view that capture this place, stunning. Had 2 dinners there with a perfect setting.
one evening they had a young orchestra entertaining, another evening a pianist.
It is a place trying hard to please the customer and it is well worth the drive up there.
Swimming pool and beauty treatment there and a local artist just up the road. You can take the cable car down to the lake and for a boat trip.

Northwestern QB says college athletics is a job
2/19/2014 @ 7:22 AMCHICAGO (AP) - The National Labor Relations Board has opened a closely watched hearing on a bid to form what would be the first union for college athletes in U.S. history.
Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter opened the hearing by testifying that he was essentially paid to play via his scholarship. Colter characterized playing college football as a job and said schools make clear to incoming players that athletics are a higher priority than academics.
Colter is a co-founder of the newly-formed College Athletes Players Association. When asked why Northwestern gave him a scholarship of $75,000 a year, he responded: "To play football. To perform an athletic service."
