I have often seen companies cut there advertising expenses when they are in recession. Whereas, It only sales, which can pull them out from recession. And Advertising, let you reach your potentials.
Seven Effective Advertisement Tips for Small Business
1. Start Small
Start small with different media of advertisements available. Find advertisement that best suits your business. Be innovative, try both online and conventional methods and see which method not only attract prospects but actually generate sales.
Another Reason to start small is, you should have enough potential to handle leads. If you start wit a big advertisement campaign, and unable to handle and properly attend lot of leads coming out, you are actually waiting your money as well company future by earning negative goodwill.
2. Exit Strategy:
Always be ready to cancel the deal or leave advertising method, which is not working for you. Don't spend or stuck all your advertising budget in a advertising activity which donot have exit door.
3. Advertising Works Quickly:
Advertising that works, work quickly. Don't believe on "sales line" that you need to run advertisement many time to make it work.
4. Effective advertising Pays for itself:
Advertising either work or donot work. And advertising that works, pays for itself within reasonable period of time. Reasonable period can be days, weeks or months but never more than a year.
5. Measurement:
Advertising that can't be measured, cannot generate proper results. Or atleast you can never calculate Return on Investment. Always do advertisement that is measureable.
6. Closing Deal:
Effective advertisement has two parts. First to attract prospects and 2nd to close deal. Without ability to close deal, no advertisement can generate results. Examples can be a good website, Customer Service Specialists or Sales People.
7. Offer Better:
Offer some thing like Free Shipping, Free Parking or highly attractive prices or some other attractive offers that makes you stand out of competition. Stand out of Crowd. People will buy from you if you will give them value.

I always observe what big companies do in their advertisements, especially their e-mail newsletter ads. Sometimes they have great call to action words and techniques, like giveaways and discounts. You can get ideas or incorporate their techniques into your own business marketing.
Always keep a lookout and keep your eyes open for inspiration and ideas.
Great article. Thanks for sharing!
What a great article!. I am bookmarking it to read it over again after work. It seems like a very interesting topic to write about.
Your article is brilliant. The points you make are valid and well represented. I have read other articles like this but they paled in comparison to what you have here.
It's important to have good content to share. Your article is very good and carries a lot of weight with sound points and interesting content. I concur with this content. Thank you for sharing this.

Fox News Covers Infowars Story About Rebel Admitting To Using Chemical Weapons
Posted By yihan On September 7, 2013 @ 6:00 am In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,World at War | Comments Disabled
Paul Joseph Watson
September 7, 2013
After being linked by the Drudge Report, Fox News covered an Infowars exclusive story featuring a Syrian rebel admitting to using chemical weapons in order to follow Osama Bin Laden's mantra of killing women and children.
The Fox News story concerned the overwhelming amount of evidence that the Obama administration would be backing terrorists who have been responsible for atrocities if it went ahead with an attack on Syria.
Lawmakers who were early champions of a U.S. strike on Assad regime targets in Syria have stayed mum as video clips emerge appearing to show opposition soldiers both killing unarmed men and indicating they have possession of chemical weapons.
The latest, a video on InfoWars.com, purported to show a rebel militant in Syria claiming to have chemical weapons, and saying he's willing to target women and children. The video, which FoxNews.com has not been able to independently authenticate, only adds to the confusion over which side has the moral high ground and the reasons for U.S. military action in Syria.
The Fox report also links to a separate video which shows rebel commanders discussing chemical weapons. "The message is if the West doesn't act, we (the rebels) too will have no red lines, and will use chemical weapons," according to an analysis by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Watch the original video of the rebel admitting to chemical weapons use below. The footage has already been viewed over 100,000 times on YouTube.

Title shot beckons Lakay's Geje-A A +A
Thursday, June 12, 2014
A POSSIBLE win for Team Lakay's Geje Eustaquio will mean squaring off for the flyweight title if he emerges victorious in One Fighting Championship's Era of Champions slated June 14 in Indonesia.
Eustaquio will lead two other Filipinos in Asia's largest mixed martial arts promotions which take place at the Mata Elang International Stadium in Jakarta featuring Kosuke Suzuki of Japan and Adriano Moraes of Brazil in the main event.
"I'm all fired up. This one big fight that I hope I can hurdle," said the soft-spoken Eustaquio prior to their departure for Indonesia Wednesday morning.
Gunning for his sixth win in eight fights, an impressive victory by Eustaquio against Kentaro Watanabe in their three-round tussle would mean a possible title shot for the Baguio based mix martial arts fighter.
"I really want to win that's why I'm doing more during our training," added Eustaquio in Filipino.
Eustaquio has been rumored for the past months to get a shot at the One FC flyweight world championship, which is filled with top ranked fighters from around the world.
The One FC flyweight belt was supposed to be up for grabs when Yasuhiro Urushitani was scheduled to square off with Shinichi Kojima for the inaugural 125-pound belt, but he had to pull out due to an injury and was replaced by Andrew Leone.
Leone however had to turn down the bout when he injured his knee three days before the faceoff forcing ONE FC executives to scrap the bout.
The much-anticipated encounter between Leone and Kojima eventually transpired at ONE FC: War of Nations in March, but the division's top prize was not up for grabs.
The 5-foot-5 Team Lakay is coming off a six month lay-off following his lopsided victory over Eugene Toquero in December last year at ONE FC: Moment of Truth showing off his newly acquired wrestling skills for his fifth win of his seven professional outings, three of those five triumphs have come by stoppage.
Watanabe (10-4) is a 30-year-old Japanese flyweight who made a name for himself in the Shooto organization with his lightning-quick striking style that recognized him as an exciting combatant among MMA fighters in Japan.
It was learned the winner of the Eustaquio-Watanabe scuffle may most likely face the victor of the headlining match between Moraes and Suzuki for the promotion's 125 lbs belt.
Aside from Eustaquio, two Filipino fighters are set to compete on the undercard of ONE FC: Era of Champions, which takes place at the Mata Elang International Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Ruel Catalan (2-4) locks horns with Malaysian prospect Gianni Subba (3-1), while former pugilist Joseph Omana makes his MMA debut versus Thai kickboxer Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke.
"The flyweight bout between Eustaquio and Watanabe pits two of the most electrifying flyweights in the world and One FC fans watching all over the world are in for an unforgettable night of explosive world-class mixed martial arts action," said CEO Victor Cui.

Do you record your digital tracks? Do you know what your digital footprint is?
A key research challenge within Horizon is to enable people to track the information trails that they create as they operate in the modern, network connected world.
As we go about our daily lives, more and more digital data is being collected about us, creating our very own digital footprint. From prescriptions, loyalty cards, social networking through to using your mobile phone, various businesses and other organisations collect data of our lives: where we live and shop, who we interact with, our health, and many others.
Our digital footprint continues to grow as the world becomes increasingly network connected. A key challenge of the digital economy is to build the infrastructure that allows individuals to control how, when and by whom this data is used. This could significantly impact many businesses, from advertisers and market researchers to service providers. For example, it may impose controls on those who have been able to gather and process data relatively freely. At the same time, it will enable individuals to expose the richness of their personal data to a market, generating value both for the individual and the business that processes it.
Take a look at the Personal Containers poster
Dataware is the framework we are designing to enable this market to come into existence. Within this framework, your data is collected and stored by both existing and new organisations and services. Via a personal container, companies will be able to acquire permission to perform specific processing on some or all of the data sources that make up your datasphere. By controlling the processing that can be carried out, and by managing the permissions granted to data processors, you exercise control over what happens to your data while also becoming able to create new value from your digital footprint.

POTSDAM The town has contracted with Blue Mountain Engineering, North Bangor, to see how much it would cost to extend water and sewer services up Route 56.
The town has long talked about expanding pipelines to attract businesses to the busy stretch of road just outside the village. A study was commissioned in 2006, but plans were scrapped when they were determined to be too expensive.
The new study will cost $3,750 to $4,500, and, according to town Supervisor Marie C. Regan, it may not amount to much.
Were just at the very beginning of a long process that may or may not end up being fruitful, she said.

Watch A 1100-Foot Bridge In Portland Move In One Day
The Sellwood Bridge in Portland is in such bad shape that it scored "2" on a 100-point federal safety scale. So it's being replaced with a new bridge. While that's under construction, rather than destroy the old bridge, officials decided to move it over to the side so it can still be used temporarily. This video shows the bridge slowly inching to its new location; the entire move happened in one day.

Protect yourself from fender-bender fraud
By John Fonville on February 17, 2012 at 9:16 AM
You've seen them on TV: car accident "victims" with fake neck braces trying to win a settlement they don't deserve. But this is more than TV fiction – fender-bender fraud happens in real life, too. If you get into an accident — big or small — there are things you can do to minimize the […]

FinCEN PROVIDES HELPFUL ANTI-FRAUD INFORMATION FOR
VIENNA, Va. - FinCEN joins with other Federal, State and Local government agencies and consumer protection organizations to recognize the 12th Annual National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), March 7-13. This coordinated consumer education campaign encourages individuals across the country to take full advantage of their consumer rights.
FinCEN provides a number of special resources to educate consumers, and the financial institutions that serve them, of potential fraud and scam attempts. FinCEN's rules help consumers by requiring financial institutions to be on the alert for illicit activity. Requirements that a financial institution know its customers can help both to provide better customer service and to prevent that customer from becoming a victim of fraud. Financial institutions are required to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with FinCEN when they know or suspect a financial activity to be illegal. In addition to their role in spotting money laundering and terrorist financing, SARs provide information on seven types of fraud: check fraud, mortgage loan fraud, consumer loan fraud, wire transfer fraud, commercial loan fraud, credit card fraud, and debit card fraud. FinCEN then analyzes this data and, among other things, breaks it down geographically to identify "hot spots" across the nation. This analysis better enables Federal, State and Local law enforcement to track down and stop the perpetrators.
Today's recognition of NCPW is in keeping with FinCEN's efforts to safeguard the U.S. financial system and protect its citizens from financial crime. FinCEN also participates in the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF), an interagency group which President Barack Obama has established by Executive Order to strengthen efforts to combat financial crime. Attorney General Eric Holder, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairwoman Mary Schapiro announced its formation on November 17, 2009.
The Bank Secrecy Act, which FinCEN administers, is a powerful anti-fraud tool. Record keeping and reporting requirements cover a variety of financial industry sectors. These include depository institutions; brokers or dealers in securities; mutual funds; futures commission merchants and introducing brokers in commodities; money services businesses (e.g., money transmitters; currency dealers and exchangers; and check cashers); insurance companies; casinos and card clubs; and dealers in precious metals, stones, or jewels. FinCEN's federal rulemaking applies to these industries nationwide. These rules help to stop fraud and also help instill a higher, uniform level of regulatory compliance standards that ultimately benefit consumers.
"Industries that have strong anti-money laundering programs in place can help protect their customers and their businesses from threats posed by fraud and deceit," said FinCEN Director James H. Freis, Jr. "Protecting your customers is good for business."
FinCEN provides:
Information and "Red Flags" on Mortgage Fraud, Foreclosure Rescue Scams, and Insurance Products http://www.fincen.gov/foreclosurerescue.html, http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/rp/mortgagefraud.html
Multilingual outreach materials: Outreach materials in seven foreign languages for money services businesses (MSBs) and their customers can be found on FinCEN's Web site at http://www.fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/materials.html. The outreach materials, available in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Farsi, and Russian, help to ensure that consumers know their MSB's obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).
Financial scam warnings: FinCEN alerts consumers to ongoing financial scams, using FinCEN's name or logo, that attempt to solicit funds from unsuspecting victims - http://www.fincen.gov/alert.html.
A list of external resources for financial crime victims: FinCEN provides a Web page for consumers to use as a resource for finding the appropriate Federal agency to address their needs - http://www.fincen.gov/help4victims.html.
For more information about NCPW, visit www.consumer.gov/ncpw.
FinCEN's mission is to enhance U.S. national security, deter and detect criminal activity, and safeguard financial systems from abuse by promoting transparency in the U.S. and international financial systems.

Series premiere: 'Hannibal' - 'Aperitif': Shrike back
I published my review of "Hannibal" yesterday. As you can see, I was a big fan. Despite Bryan Fuller's track record, I went in assuming I'd hate it, just based on serial killer drama burnout. Instead, Fuller, David Slade, Hugh Dancy and company really impressed me with a show that's both fairly faithful to the Thomas Harris books (the killer from this episode is taken straight from "Red Dragon") while feeling like its own thing.
My hope is to add this to the weekly review rotation, though given the sheer number of interesting shows airing this spring, I can't promise that I'll get to it every episode.
In the meantime, though, I'm curious what everybody else thought of this one. Did you enjoy Mads Mikkelsen's more understated Hannibal the Cannibal? How did you feel about the visual device for showing how Will Graham learns to think like the killers? Was it creepy, or cliched? Did anyone make the mistake of trying to eat while watching? And will you watch again?
Have at it.

Notice of Quasi-Legislative Hearing
on Proposed Long-Term Care Insurance Premium Rate Increases in Excess of 15% by American Progressive Life and Health Insurance Co. of New York and Genworth Life Insurance Co.
Before the Maryland Insurance Commissioner
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
To: All Insurers that Issue or Deliver Policies of Long-Term Care Insurance in Maryland, Long-Term Care Insurance Producers, Long-Term Care Insurance Policyholders, and Other Interested Parties
Pursuant to Section 2-210(a) of the Insurance Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, and Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 31.02.06, the Maryland Insurance Commissioner ("Commissioner") will conduct a quasi-legislative hearing on July 24, 2013, commencing at 9:30 A.M., at the Maryland Insurance Administration, Hearing Room, 24th Floor, 200 St. Paul Place, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The purpose of the hearing is to gather information to help inform the Commissioner's determinations regarding premium rate filings submitted by American Progressive Life and Health Insurance Company of New York and Genworth Life Insurance Company ("Insurers") for certain guaranteed renewable long-term care insurance products.
Code of Maryland Regulations 31.14.01.04 provides that, as a general rule, an insurer may not charge a renewal premium rate for a long-term care policy which exceeds by more than 15 percent any premium charges for the policy during the preceding 12 months. The regulation contains the following exception, however, to this general rule: "With the approval of the Commissioner, the insurer may charge a renewal premium exceeding a 15 percent increase upon a showing that a larger increase is necessary because of utilization of policy benefits greatly in excess of the expected rate." COMAR 31.14.01.04A(6).
The Insurers have submitted to the Maryland Insurance Administration ("MIA") for approval five premium rate filings seeking renewal premium rate increases for guaranteed renewable long-term care insurance products ranging from 35 percent to 98 percent. The Insurers also have submitted data purporting to show that renewal increases greater than 15 percent are necessary because utilization of policy benefits is greatly in excess of the expected rate. Specifically, the filings indicate that utilization of policy benefits as a percentage of the expected utilization rates ranged from 5.3 percent to 180.5 percent.
Issues on which the Commissioner requests testimony include:
(1) The point at which utilization of policy benefits should be considered "greatly in excess of the expected rate" for purposes of determining whether a renewal premium rate of more than 15 percent above premium charges during the preceding 12 months is necessary;
(2) Where utilization of policy benefits has been determined to be "greatly in excess of the expected rate," the level of renewal premium rate increase above 15 percent that should be approved for any particular rate filing; and
(3) The availability and feasibility of options for mitigating the impact on consumers of any necessary premium rate increase above 15 percent (e.g., an option to reduce or avoid an otherwise necessary premium rate increase by reducing the level of inflation protection otherwise provided under the policy).
Those who wish to testify at the hearing must notify the MIA in writing by July 15, 2013. Such notice should be directed to:
Maria Fisher
Executive Assistant to the Commissioner
Maryland Insurance Administration
200 St. Paul Place, Suite 2700
Baltimore, Maryland 21202
Any written testimony or exhibits also should be submitted to Ms. Fisher's attention no later than July 15, 2013. Individuals who require reasonable accommodations to participate in the hearing should contact Ms. Fisher at 410-468-2013 within seven (7) days prior to the hearing.
Therese M. Goldsmith
Insurance Commissioner

A small amount of technical difficulty with this week's show. My ISP isn't always the most reliable (or loved) and I had some connection issues getting it uploaded yesterday. One day late won't kill us, it's still an hour of broken beats and maniac stabs. Enjoy!
Bleep Radio: July 2010 Archives
This week's Bleep has me feeling a little self-conscious about things. It's not a mix for starters, its as close to a radio format as I've ever come.
Malcolm Strachan of Toronto came into Hamilton for a day trip last week and we hung out at my place, listening to records and eating food. We plopped a microphone down on the floor and recorded some brief thoughts about ten of the records that Malcolm picked from my shelves. No planning to speak of. Off the cuff thoughts on 10 older records and 2 newer records.
In hind sight we probably should have closed the two large windows immediately beside us as there is a lot of summer time insect noise going on in the background, but we'll call it experiment #1's learnings.
As uncomfortable as I am with this week's show, I think I would like to try again sometime. If anyone in the area feels they're up for it, then just let me know! With practice I'm sure I can streamline the process and get sharper with the edits.
Mike Holmes has been a steady contributor to Bleep Radio for a few years now. He's a stand-up fellow who seems to enjoy good music. As I've outright mentioned in the recent past though, he's about to start contributing to the Fun in the Murky half of the operations as well. Not by writing massive interviews like Andrez does, but by releasing some music! Considering the low output of tunes lately (across the board) I'm always stoked with the idea of new stuff coming out. The only problem I can think of is it's digital nature.
As a wee bit o' promo, this mix of his is spotlighting the label his first release will be on. One that has become a sort of home away from home for a few FitM favourites lately...
Check the Dead Agenda tracks in the mix. These plus other mixes will be on the Dead Agenda release at the end of July. An additional Paul Birken mix has been added to the release as well for those that like that sort of thing!
As mentioned last week I'm posting up trial runs of various mixes for a Vault Radio show. Something I don't typically do and am very slow at (considering the 1 hour a week I get to play has to be for Bleep...). Because there is some repetition between the shows right now due to some mixes being liked, I think for next week I'll switch over to the bag of old-school breaks and acid for a brief change. That will be fun as well and I'm looking forward to it now, but after that it'll be a 3rd and hopefully final Vault trial run...

A Weekend with Pablo Picasso
Showing:September 7 - October 13, 2013
Where:Lyceum Space
About the Show
Three years ago the actor/writer Herbert Siguenza (Culture Clash) had the audacity to write an original play and star as Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist in modern history. The REP hosted a 3-week workshop that quickly became a sensation. Now, after polishing the fully-realized work into a critical success that wowed audiences in L.A., the Bay Area, Houston, and Denver, Siguenza's one-man tour de force returns stronger than a bull in a china shop
Picasso was the first rock-star artist—a ferocious pacifist, obsessive art maker, flamboyantly opinionated philosopher, and self-proclaimed clown—who relished his passionate views about love, death, war, beauty, eternity, and creativity. Siguenza creates a joyful and mesmerizing portrait of the maestro as he dances, sculpts, shares secrets, clowns, draws and impersonates a matador while extensively quoting the father of modern art. With a skill that will amaze you, the actor draws and paints onstage, in real time during every performance! Go back to 1957 and spend three days with a genius inside his private studio on the southern coast of France. We promise a weekend you will never forget.

Oxnard medical clinic turns waiting time into story time
Building on a program that provides books for children in medical facility waiting rooms, the Magnolia Family Medical Clinic in Oxnard has taken the concept a step further by having staff members read to youngsters.
In addition to keeping the children occupied, the story times and crisp new books, which the children keep, help stress the importance of reading as part of healthful child development, said Dr. Stan Patterson, the clinic medical director, who helped introduce the program.
Since May, operations supervisor Paris Hardy, billing supervisor Letty Garibay and registration clerk Veronica Lerma have been reading stories such as "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Happy Hen" to mostly preschool-age children as they or their family members wait in the lobby at the Ventura County Medical Center satellite clinic.
The books come from Reach Out and Read, a national program funded locally by First 5 Ventura County, which uses revenue from a state tobacco tax to provide child development, health and family support services. The clinic's Dr. Lynn Rockney is the physician liaison to Reach Out and Read.
Magnolia started giving new books to youngsters about five years ago, and the reading component was added to enhance client services, clinic administrator Deborah Shay said.
At 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day, staff members read in English and Spanish for 20 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on the number of children. Sometimes only a few participate, but there have been as many as 20 at a time, Shay said.
"I have two of my own kids," said Garibay, who is involved in the PTA at her children's school. "I just love kids and think it's important that we all get involved."
Hardy likes giving children a positive impression of the clinic, a place that might otherwise leave them feeling wary if not fearful.
"They think of it as a good place," she said.
Patterson said Reach Out and Read, which other Ventura County Medical Center clinics also use, is part of the patient care philosophy at Magnolia, where 75 staff members, including doctors, serve an average of 5,000 mostly low-income patients each month.
"We're a community resource, so it's not just about health from a physical perspective," he said. "We want to make a connection to our community and empower our patients on a number of different levels."
On a recent Tuesday morning, with curious clients looking on and other staff members going about clinic business, six preschoolers took in a reading session.
"She's going to get shots, and she's all happy," Kathlene Souza said after a nurse called for her daughter, Alyssa. "It's pretty cool — something other than toys and kids fighting. And starting them into reading — that's really good."
Veronica Ordaz was there with her son, Gabriel Mercado, who was there for vaccinations
"I like how the books are in Spanish and English," she said.
Ismael Valera, 2, accompanied by parents with an infant, came to the clinic because he was sick, but he flashed smiles as Garibay read to him in Spanish.
"They understand that they come here to get services, not be punished," said Lerma, who has three children and volunteers as a soccer team mom.
Patterson said, "It's an opportunity for us to demonstrate to parents that reading can be fun and engaging for kids."

YIELD: 4 servings
IngredientsFor salmon:
1 1/2 lb. wild salmon fillet, boneless and skinless
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced into 1/4" slices
1/2 celery stalk, washed and sliced into 1/8" slices
2 large shallots, peeled and sliced
1 Tbs. unsalted butter
For the herb butter:
1/4 lb. unsalted butter
1 large shallot, minced
1 Tb. chervil, Italian parsley, and celery leaves
juice of one lemon
For puree:
3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise
2 fennel bulbs, cored and halved
1 med. celery root, peeled and quartered
8 cloves garlic
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 c. heavy cream
For lobster butter:
1 Tb. olive oil
2 shallots, peeled and sliced
5 cracked white peppercorns
1 c. dry white wine
1/2 c. vermouth
1 1/2 c. lobster stock
5 oz. unsalted butter
3-4 sprigs thyme, leaves only, chopped
1/2 bay leaf
juice of 1/2 lemon
PreparationMake salmon packets:
Divide salmon into four portions and season each with salt and pepper.
Melt butter and saute cucumber, celery, and shallots until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
In food processor, puree 1/4 butter until soft, scraping down sides with a rubber spatula. Add the chopped herbs, juice, salt and pepper, and blend.
Fold four pieces of parchment paper in half, then into the shape of a large heart. Divide sauteed vegetables and place 1/4 on each parchment. Top with salmon, then 2 Tbs. each of herb butter. Fold over sides of parchment to seal. Hold packets in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Make the puree:
Steam the potato, fennel, and celery root until soft. Roast garlic cloves in 400 oven until brown and soft, then squeeze from skins. Puree fennel, olive oil, and garlic in food processor. Pass potato and celery root through the fine plate of a food mill, then mill the pureed fennel. Heat the cream, then stir in vegetable puree. Season to taste and keep warm.
Make the sauce:
Sweat the shallots in olive oil until translucent. Add bay leaf, peppercorns, wine, and vermouth, and reduce to 1/5 of original volume. Add lobster stock and reduce again to 1/5 of original volume. Remove from heat and whisk in cubed butter, a small amount at a time. Whisk in thyme. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and strain through a fine strainer.
Assemble the dish:
Preheat oven to 500. Roast salmon packets on a baking pan for 8-10 mins. or until bag inflates and turns light brown.
While salmon is cooking, spoon warm puree into the center of four warm plates. Toss herbs and celery leaves with olive oil and season. Open salmon pouches and transfer fish and vegetables to plates. Top with herb salad and then ladle sauce around plates.

A new lab building is designed to attract top talent and reflect an institutions changing culture while facilitating the full spectrum of translational research.
- Glazing: Viracon (glass); Novum Structures (point supported glass)
- Precast concrete: Redondo Mfg
- Exterior cladding: American Stone
In the late 1960s, Dr. Michael DeBakey performed some of the country's first heart transplants at the Methodist Hospital in Houston. As the teaching hospital for Baylor College of Medicine since 1950, Methodist was no stranger to cutting-edge technology and research, though for a long time it relied on its partnership with the college for biomedical investigation. But in 2004 the two institutions parted ways as Methodist decided to become an independent academic medical center and formed the Methodist Hospital Research Institute (TMHRI). Dedicated to translational research, TMHRI would employ a bench-to-bedside approach for "translating" laboratory findings into new diagnostics, therapies, and treatments for a range of diseases. To attract top talent, the institute brought in Baylor's world-renowned pathologist and cancer researcher Dr. Michael Lieberman as its founding CEO and president and, soon after, New York–based Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) as design architect to help create this 430,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the Texas Medical Center (TMC).
With 49 institutions and over 34 million square feet of patient care, education, and research space, TMC is the largest such center in the world. Its dense urban landscape is dominated by architecturally unambitious structures. "For Methodist to hire us along with [executive architect] WHR was a big step," says KPF principal Douglas Hocking, "because they had never really done modern buildings. It was part of their larger vision of where they wanted to be for the future."
The team spent the first six months studying various sites on Methodist's campus. The challenge became preserving a wide-open lot for a future hospital expansion (in which KPF is involved, but which is currently on hold), while finding a site that was physically connected to the hospital facilities — a crucial component of translational research. In a stroke of luck, the team found that a one-acre sliver of land, used as a vehicle drop-off for the hospital, could, if done artfully, accommodate the program. The team's basic moves are simple: An east-facing glass-walled volume houses conference rooms and principal investigators' (PIs) offices, while a precast-concrete bar to the west ties into the campus and holds the labs.
The client had a goal of accommodating about 90 PIs and 800 staff. Charged with recruiting an esteemed academic faculty, Dr. Lieberman worked closely with the architects and lab consultant to ensure the building would aid in this pursuit and address unforeseen future needs. As the project progressed, the program continued to evolve. "We reached the end of schematics," says KPF principal Jill Lerner, "and then they added two floors." The 12-story concrete structure supports six lab floors, with a surgical-training facility on the fifth floor and a 12th floor that will be fit-out as an amenity level as well as an FDA-regulated manufacturing facility for making therapeutics, vaccines, and imaging agents for use in human clinical trials.
On the lab floors, linear equipment rooms bridge research areas, while breakout spaces (double-height on the north and single-height on the south) link offices and labs and provide opportunities for people to connect. "We could design the offices and labs as pretty generic," says Lerner, "since researchers were not in place." Adds Hocking, "The big challenge was threading everything together, particularly at the ground plane." An expansion of the Dunn building's cafeteria helps connect the new research facility to the hospital, and a double-height shared lobby addresses the client's requirement for entry points to both. It was also critical that the ground-floor imaging suite be easily accessed from both the lobby and the vivarium, which is located on the second level (because Houston is on a floodplain, many functions that would typically go below grade had to be raised). The basement houses a cyclotron and hot-cell and nuclear pharmacy facilities, which are protected by floodgates.
While the institute's new home was completed in October 2010, upper floors are still being fit-out and will take shape as new researchers join the team. "The building makes a statement about the type
of research we're going to do
here, which is very patient-centric," says Edward Jones, TMHRI's vice president of operations. "It's also given us a chance to put a new face on the front of Methodist Hospital that reflects the changing culture here, where we're going from being just a great hospital to becoming an academic medical center."
Completion Date: October 2010

As mentioned, Finland's French Films are coming over for NYC Popfest this weekend, playing the big, all-day show at Littlefield on Sunday (6/2) that also features Close Lobsters, The Wolfhounds, The Orange Peels, Alpaca Sports and more. Tickets are still available but is, I'm told, nearing sell-out.
If you can't make it Sunday but would like to see them, French Films are playing three more additional shows while in NYC: June 3 at Cake Shop; then Mercury Lounge on June 4 with Toronto's Hooded Fang, Total Slacker and Pow Wow! (tickets); and finally Glasslands on June 5 with The Secret History, Hints and Pains of Being Pure at Heart's Kip Berman on DJ duty (tickets).
French Films just released their new album, White Orchid, which is one of the better indiepop-leaning albums I've heard in a while. While there is some '80s pop in there (the singer sounds a bit like OMD's Andy McCluskey), they definitely aren't revivalists. (If you sometimes like The Drums but find them to be a little much, French Films may appeal to you.) This is energetic, extremely hooky pop and you can stream single "Latter Days" below listen to the whole thing on Rdio and Spotify.
Dates and streams below...

TPOBPAH @ Indie Pop Prom @ 285 Kent
My prom didn't have a band, just a DJ who was our electrical engineering teacher, Mr. Sark. (His DJ name was Sark After Dark.) But it was always a fantasy to have a cool band play it. (I did once attend a wedding with a Smiths cover band.) And while it wasn't an actual prom, some people's fantasies probably came true Thursday night with the Indie Pop Prom at 285 Kent where The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Swearin', Waxahatchee, Potty Mouth, and Weed Hounds dressed up fancy, rocked out and then maybe took a limo through Times Square while dancing through the car's sunroof. The show doubled as Maria Sherman's Birthday Bash (happy birthday Maria!), and Frankie Rose and Shirley Braha (Weird Vibes) were the DJs.
Like my senior prom, I didn't actually go to Indie Prom either, but maybe you did? It seemed like a good time from what I gathered on Twitter and Instagram. Did they have a photo area on the way in? Anyone spike the punch?
We only have pictures from TPOBPAH's headlining set, unfortunately, but you can check out more of them below...

There's a sleazy swagger to Summer People's new single, " I Do What I Want," from their forthcoming LP Burn the Germs. Due on April 23, the song shows a seedy-punk-rock, bottom-of-the-barrel attitude, not unlike that of favorites like The Cramps or Nick Cave. Check out the new track below for the first time.
Summer People are playing a Albany on Friday (3/1) as part of great college station WCDB's 35th Anniversary Festival with The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (who play the sold-out Indie Pop Prom at 285 Kent tomorrow night, 2/28) and Oberhofer. No NYC dates for them, unfortunately, but they're more-or-less local, so keep your eyes peeled. What dates they do have are below.

Northampton rockers Potty Mouth formed back in 2011 and they've quickly become one of the most promising new bands in their local scene. They first caught our ears with the Sun Damage EP, which came out in July, 2012. The EP has its roots in '90s alternative and indie, and like the bands that inspire Potty Mouth, they aren't afraid to actually rock. They just recently followed that EP with a new single, "Damage," which you can watch the video for below. "Damage" picks up where the EP leaves off, but with thicker production and in terms of all around songwriting, it might be their best track to date.
Potty Mouth have a few NYC shows coming over the next month or so. They'll play XPO 929 on February 15 with In School, Kicking Spit, and Spirit of Danger (more info here).
They're also part of the stacked Indie Pop Prom on February 28 at 285 Kent with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Swearin' Waxahatchee, and Weed Hounds. Tickets are $10 or $8 if you come dressed in prom attire, and are on sale now. Their only other announced date that we're aware of is a hometown show with Hilly Eye, Slutever, and Tomboy.
The band will then play the next night (March 1) at the New Museum in conjunction with their new exhibit "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star."
A list of all dates, the "Damage" video, and the Sun Damage EP stream below...

Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Swearin', Waxahatchee, Potty Mouth & Weed Hounds playing Indie Pop Prom at 285 Kent
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart at Summerstage in 2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
On February 28 at 285 Kent, the Brooklyn venue will be hosting Indie Pop Prom, a show with a totally killer lineup headlined by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and also featuring sets by Swearin', Waxahatchee, Weed Hounds, and Potty Mouth. There will be DJ sets by Frankie Rose and Shirley Braha (Weird Vibes) and the show was produced by Maria Sherman. Tickets are $10 or $8 if you come dressed in prom attire, and are on sale now.
In addition to looking like a totally fun night, and the fact that seeing TPOBPAH at 285 Kent is probably crazy with any support lineup, a few other things are notable about this show. You may know that Swearin' singer Allison Crutchfield and Waxahatchee (who also plays the Don Giovanni showcase) singer Katie Crutchfield are twin sisters and used to be in PS Eliot together, and it's the first show in about two years for Weed Hounds (who have played NYC a bunch in the past). And if you're going to the show, be sure to get there early to check out Potty Mouth.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart list 2012 faves (NYC show is this week); Kip Berman throwing "Rough Smooch" party
by Bill Pearis
TPOBPAH @ Summerstage 7/7/2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
While The Pains of Being Pure at Heart didn't release an album this year, they have stayed busy touring on the heels of last year's terrific Belong. (They did put out a covers 7" in the UK though which is worth seeking out.) The band play a free hometown show this Friday (12/14) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar with Black Marble, Habibi and Heavens Gate. Doors are at 6 PM with bands starting at 8 PM, and it's all ages. Lines to get in Brooklyn Night Bazaar have been long, but move pretty quickly.
In other TPOBPAH news, singer/guitarist Kip Berman is one of the conspirators behind "Rough Smooch" a new indiepop party that has its debut this Sunday (12/16) at Williamsburg bar Legion. Wear your cutest anorak to this night that features performances by The Hairs, Kissing is a Crime and Grand Resort, plus Kip and WNYU's Maria Sherman on DJ duty. The party is free and starts at 9PM.
And lastly, the Pains were kind enough to send us a year-end music list. The whole band are music obsessives and couldn't whittle the list down to ten, so they sent a list of "some music we thought was cool in 2012." Kip adds, "I'm certain the other PAINS would put Kurt's Ice Choir record Afar on our list, but I think it would make him feel weird and, perhaps, seem nepotistic. But his record is really good, and however you feel about Pains, you should give it a listen." Ice Choir, by the way, play Cameo on December 22 with Cool Angels and Limited (info).
Check out the list below...

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart covered Magnetic Fields on new single, touring Europe (stream, dates)
TPOBPAH @ Summerstage 7/7/2012 (more by Chris La Putt)
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have a new single coming out in conjunction with a fall European tour, featuring two covers. One side takes on Magnetic Fields' "Jeremy" and on the flip it's East River Pipe's "My Life is Wrong." Says keyboardist Peggy Wang of the Magnetic Fields cover:
The Magnetic Fields were a band without context. ...I can look back at the time and see how the Magnetic Fields were a band that could exist outside of a context and still make me fall in love with them. I didn't need to know if they were anyone else's favorite band, I didn't need to know what they looked like or where they were from or any frivolous details a hypothetical Tigerbeat interview might have divulged to me. The Magnetic Fields might have been the last band I ever unconditionally loved without ever stopping to try to understand why - just the kind of love story I hoped to one day live through.You can stream TPOBPAH's "Jeremy" below. The band, who last played NYC opening for Guided by Voices at Summerstage, played MusicFest Northwest in Portand, OR last month and did a KEXP session while there which included a new song, "Kelly." You can watch them perform that below as well, along with a list of all upcoming tour dates.

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.

Guided by Voices, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, War on Drugs & Cloud Nothings played CBGB Fest at Summerstage (pics)

Guided by Voices/Cloud Nothings
One of the many shows that went down in NYC this past weekend as part of the CBGB Festival was the big, free day show at Central Park Summerstage on Saturday (7/7) with Guided by Voices, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The War On Drugs, and Cloud Nothings. Despite the heat wave that hit NYC over the weekend, many braved the high temperatures to catch this stacked show, which was pretty packed from start to finish. Presumably because it was a 4-band bill and was a day show, the openers got pretty short sets, but nonetheless all four bands were great and little time was wasted.
Cloud Nothings kicked off the day at 3 PM with a 5-song set that relied entirely on this year's Attack on Memory. Considering how short the set was, they did manage to keep things pretty varied. Between "Separation," the interlude they prefaced it with, and the extended jam of "Wasted Days," about half of their set was instrumental, and they balanced that with the album's two poppiest tracks, "Stay Useless" and "Fall In." A hot sunny day in central park isn't exactly the appropriate place for a mosh pit or anything, but there was a good amount of dancing and singing along, especially during the closing screams of "Wasted Days."
Then The War on Drugs cooled things off with their breezy folk rock, opening strong with Slave Ambient standout, "Baby Missiles." The band's floaty atmospheres can get pretty meandering (in a good way), but are always grounded by the band's relentlessly upbeat drummer. They work in nice touches of noise and ambience, most notably doing so when the bassist played a droning trumpet through an effect laden mic before going into the anthemic "Come to the City."
Up next were The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, who immediately woke up the lazy, sweat-dripping crowd with a super energetic set, kickstarted by the driving "Heaven's Gonna Happen Now." Frontman Kip Berman doesn't let up for the entire show, rocking out through every song while bearing a spot-on delivery. They played a pretty solid mix of material off both full lengths, all of which were bright pop blasts, delivered even clearer and bigger than the increased lo-to-mid-fi production on the newer album. The band, who on Saturday were augmented by Connor from The Drums on second guitar, didn't really hit any low points and played through tons of favorites like "Young Adult Friction," "Heart In Your Heartbreak," and more.
The show wrapped up with the much-anticipated headlining set by Guided by Voices which came after multiple crowd chants of "GBV, GBV, GBV!" The band, whose influential brand of lo-fi was responsible for helping to set the groundwork that all three of the opening bands heavily work into their sound, walked on stage, cigarettes in hand, and in extremely high spirits for the appreciative crowd. They focused their set mostly on material off of their two 2012 full lengths, Let's Go Eat the Factory and Class Clown Spots a UFO, their first two albums since 2004. Because of GBV's notoriously short songs, they only took about ten minutes to bang out the same amount of songs that the opening bands played in their entire sets, and both the band and the crowd were really into it. Robert Pollard's playful stage banter was intact (he said something about how during his last Central Park show he got in trouble for throwing beer cans into the audience) and the band's on-stage demeanor was just as lively, complete with split kicks from guitarist Mitch Mitchell, and the head-nodding, singing-along bassist, Greg Demos.
More pictures from the Central Park show, including one of GBV's setlist, are below...

Chairlift play Webster Hall tonight (5/8, tickets still available) and if you're going you would do well to consider getting there early for openers Ice Choir. (Laurel Halo also plays.) It's the newer band from Pains of Being Pure at Heart drummer Kurt Feldman who used to front 8-bit shoegazers The Depreciation Guild.
The Ice Choir recently announced that their debut album, AFAR, will be released by Underwater Peoples on July 31. The label, mainly known for hazy stoner-friendly guitar rock, seems like an odd match for a band whose main influences seem to be Scritti Politti and Prefab Sprout but people can like all sorts of different styles of music, so so can labels. The album was produced by Feldman and mixed by Violens' Jorge Elbrecht.
No tracks from AFAR have been released for us to hear yet, but album art is below and you can stream both sides of Ice Choir's debut single which came out last year on Shelf Life records. The band also have a few more shows lined up and those are below as well.
Also below are updated Chairlift tour dates and a capella live version of their song "Have We Met Before?" performed by an all-female choir comprised of local indie scene talent.

The four-day festival is scheduled to begin on July 5 and will showcase about 300 rock bands. Concerts will take place at around 30 places, from large stages like Central Park Summerstage and Webster Hall to small clubs like the Trash Bar in Williamsburg and the Living Room on the Lower East Side...A few other confirmed shows as part of the festival have emerged too. Sick of It All will join Vision of Disorder, Cro-Mags, Absolution and Sai Nam for a show at Webster Hall on July 6th. Tickets are on sale.
The festival will also stage a free concert in Central Park with Guided by Voices, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Cloud Nothings [on July 7]. A few veteran rockers have agreed to appear: David Johansen, a former member of the New York Dolls, has committed to do a show, as has the Baseball Project, the supergroup formed by Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Steve Wynn of Dream Syndicate. -[NY Times]
D Generation will headline Bowery Electric on July 7th with ROMANS, Brass Knuckle Evangelists and The Bamboo Kids. Tickets are on sale.
Stay tuned for more (including the full lineup announcement).

TPOBPAH @ Bowery Ballroom
[The Pains of Being Pure at Heart singer/guitarist Kip] Berman, who grew up a Green Bay Packers fan after being born in Madison and living in Milwaukee until he was 9, doesn't exactly ooze confidence. The singer critiqued his vocal capabilities ("I can't sing") and downplayed the band's ambition ("We're making songs people will hopefully like to hear next to other songs on a mixtape").The Pains of Being Pure at Heart hit Bowery Ballroom last night (9/19) with Twin Sister and Wyldlife. Pictures are in this post. After a few days off (in Kip's current home, NYC), Pains will head back out on the road for another string of dates in the US and Canada (and yes, Madison, Wisconsin) that should get them back home during CMJ (which they are currently not scheduled to play). The dates include an appearance at this weekend's Popped! Music Festival in Philadelphia on 9/23.
He even worried that his low-key, everyman vibe wouldn't make for a compelling enough narrative for a newspaper story. "I should create a better tortured artist persona where it's like, 'Then I was getting really heavy into narcotics in the studio and we were fighting all the time'."
Berman said he doesn't remember much about his toddler years in Madison. But he does still have family in Wisconsin, and he's looking forward to a mini-family reunion when his band plays the High Noon Saloon on Monday, Sept. 26. When The Pains of Being Pure at Heart opened for the National at Milwaukee's Riverside Theatre this past April, Berman told the crowd that the after-party would be in the suburbs. "I'm going to my grandparents' house to do laundry. It's important." -[Square]
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart recently released a remix by Violens for "The Body" from their LP Belong. Get that for the price of an email address. Jead below for all tour dates, more Bowery pictures (including one from the setlist), and a video from last night...

Lollapalooza 2011 -- Day 3 pics & review (EITS, TPOBPAH, Best Coast, The Cars, Portugal the Man, Arctic Monkeys & more)
words by Zach Pollack, photos by Grant MacAllister
Sorry for the delay of our third and final installmet of Lollapalooza 2011 coverage, but here it is! Due to the major downpour on the Sunday of the fest, Grant's pictures were almost lost forever in a wet camera, but are now recovered. If you're just joining us, check out parts one and two first. Here is part three...
My third and final day of Lollapalooza (8/7) kicked off at Music Unlimited Stage with an opening set from Titus Andronicus. The Garden State punks began things by playing the opening track "A More Perfect Union" from their incredible 2010 LP The Monitor. Titus generally would make for a fantastic start to the day, but their sound was a bit off, and by the look on frontman Patrick Stickles's face, I think he agreed.
After Titus, I decided to calm things down and went to catch Lia Ices. This was my second time seeing the Brooklyn, NY-based songstress this year, but that did not make her less interesting. Lia's well trained voice fluttered effortlessly over the avant pop she produces. I must admit I was skeptical that she and her band would translate well to an outdoor setting. The four-piece shattered any and all of my doubts.
The next set I caught was Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s at the quite favored Google+ stage. The kitschy group are infectious and totally unavoidable. I stuck around for most of their set which included their handmade "Jr. Jr." light boxes on stage and, more importantly, bubble machines.
I then made my way over to watch The Cars, who again consist of their original lineup, except for Benjamin Orr who passed away in 2000. The Cars ran though many of their hits like "Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," "Good Times Roll," and a few new ones too. I didn't initially plan on catching their set, am glad that I did.
I then headed to the Sony stage where Portugal. The Man were setting up. I had caught their aftershow with Wye Oak at the Double Door on the first night of Lolla, and they blew me away. I was psyched to hear so many cuts off of their 2009 LP The Satanic Satanist. I was NOT psyched to hear that their van and trailer (gear and all) had been stolen later on that night. The van and trailer have since been recovered... and so has most of the gear!
I left Portugal's set a bit early in order to make it to Best Coast at Google+. Frontwoman Bethany Cosentino entered the stage and jokingly stated, "Fuck you, we're Best Coast." Unfortunately halfway through their set storm clouds that were hanging over Chicago all day finally burst. It poured for a good hour, letting up just before Explosions In The Sky's set.
The Austin, TX-based post rock band entered the stage stating, "I think you just saw 'us,' but now we're going to play some music." I was glad to hear some of my favorite songs like "The Birth and Death of the Day," "Six Days At the Bottom of the Ocean," and "Your Hand In Mine." Their awesome set was more than enough to keep the muddy, sopping festival-goers around.
Everyone legitimately thought the rain had let up, so I headed across to Music Unlimited for Foo Fighters' headlining set. Their set included a handful of songs from the recently released Wasting Light LP and a bunch of older cuts too. A few songs in it started pouring again and I decided to leave the festival along with Grant whose camera had officially stopped working. Unfortunately that meant that I missed Perry Farrell (of Jane's Addiction and founder of Lollapalooza) joining the band on stage for a second during "Everlong," which included the Foos playing a piece of Jane's Addiction's "Mountain Song."
Day 1 pics are HERE and Day 2 pics are HERE. More pictures from Day 3, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Arctic Monkeys included, below...

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Terminal 5 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, who just completed a two night run at Terminal 5 with The Kills and A Place to Bury Strangers, will be touring extensively over the next few months. That tour now includes a show at Bowery Ballroom on September 19 with NYC's Wydlife, who are fronted by Pains drummer Kurt Feldman's brother Dave Feldman. Tickets are on AmEx presale now, with general sale beginning Saturday (8/13) at noon.

The Kills, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, A Place to Bury Strangers & BP Fallon played Terminal 5 twice (pics)
photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin
The Kills, fresh from Lollapalooza, played two Terminal 5 shows with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and A Place to Bury Strangers. The first show was on Monday (8/8) and the second happened last night (8/9). The Kills focused on material off the recently released Blood Pressures, but also saved time for a few older cuts and a cover of Marilyn Monroe's "One Silver Dollar," which NY Times point out is from what singer Alison Mosshart declared Monroe's "worst movie."
Though not on the bill, BP Fallon, who played Escape to NY over the weekend, also made a surprise appearance at the Terminal 5 shows. According to Barbara S, he made "T5 a whole lot less shitty." Amber Kim says he did "I Believe in Elvis Presley" which is a Jack White-produced song.
We've got pictures from the first night. They continue below...

DOWNLOAD: Big Troubles - "Misery" (MP3)
Big Troubles at Webster Hall in May (more by Winnie Cheung)
Lo-fi indie poppers Big Troubles recently signed to Slumberland, who will release their sophomore LP Romantic Comedy on September 27. With the help of Mitch Easter, who worked on the first two R.E.M. albums and Pavement's Brighten the Corners, the band remarkably cleaned up their sound from their scratchy debut. Mitch's style suits the band well, whose new single "Misery" is the perfect soundtrack to a '90s backyard keg party. Don't let the somber track title fool you either. "Misery" is a lighthearted alt-rocker with frontman Alex Craig repeatedly insisting "I just wanna have some fun." Grab the MP3 above and check out the artwork and tracklist below.
Big Troubles will go on a tour in support of the album this fall with their Slumberland label-mates The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. The tour kicks off with a record release show in NYC on September 22 at Glasslands. Pains aren't on the bill for that show though, but The Ice Choir are. The Ice Choir is led by Kurt Feldman who is a member of Pains and was in the now-gone Depreciation Guild. Tickets for the Glasslands show are on sale now.
New Yorkers can catch Pains the month prior, when they play two shows at Terminal 5 with The Kills and A Place to Bury Strangers. Tickets are still on sale for both shows. Pains will not play TakLiberty Fest on September 18 at PNC Banks Arts Center, which is now cancelled.

Matt Pinfield @ RXP concert in 2009 (more by Tim Griffin)
Last month it was announced that "RXP TakLiberty Festival" would take place on September 18 at NJ's PNC Banks Arts Center with Coldplay, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Two Door Cinema Club, The Kooks, and more. According to RXP's website, the show is now cancelled "due to unforseen circumstances". Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
"It was so strange that the concert was announced a day before the news that WRXP was being sold. Then it was promoted for over a week. I'm surprised Emmis let this happen. This must represent a lot of work down the drain for some of WRXP's staff. I feel bad for them."Back on June 21st the Daily News reported:
The future of New York's only contemporary rock radio station, WRXP (101.9 FM), was tossed into the mosh pit today when Emmis sold a controlling interest to a new radio group run by ultra-colorful radio entrepreneur Randy Michaels.The Village Voice then said that, "It's not too much of a stretch to assume....that the station will change formats before the RXP Takliberty Festival's scheduled date of September 18, hence the cancellation."
WRXP has been a rock station since Feb. 5, 2008, when Emmis terminated its former smooth jazz format. The station has struggled to find an audience in a town not known for rock radio, but in recent months had shown significant ratings gains.
Merlin Media, which is paying $110-$130 million for a controlling interest in WRXP and two Chicago stations, made no announcement today on the format at WRXP.
Leslie Fram, program director, said that for now the station will continue rocking.
Well, they were right. The Daily News has reported today:
Don't tell Leslie Fram a contemporary rock station can't work on New York radio - even though the one she has programmed for the last 3-1/2 years ends its run Thursday, apparently to be replaced by news aimed at soccer moms.RIP WRXP
WRXP (101.9 FM), which switched from smooth jazz to rock in February 2008, is being sold by Emmis to Merlin Media, and while the deal hasn't closed yet, Merlin takes over the programming Friday.
Listeners will hear music for a couple of weeks until Merlin launches its new format, expected to be all or mostly news targeting women in their 30s and 40s.
On the surface, this change might seem to again support the often-heard mantra that when it comes to radio music, New York is a rhythm town, not a rock town.
Fram, a WRXP host as well as program director, says she sees every indication that's not true.
She notes that for the last three months, an average of about 2.3 million people per week at some point tuned to WRXP. While that's about half the audience for WHTZ, WLTW or WKTU, it's not a small number.
"There are a lot of rock fans in this area," Fram says. "[Classic rock] WAXQ is a fine station, but there was room for us, too.
"We wanted to be the heritage rock station for people who grew up in the '90s or later, and we could have. Without us now, where will you hear a new Eddie Vedder or Mumford and Son?"
It's all about being 'Pure' (Purity Ring, Pure X, Puro Instinct, The Pains of Being & even Prurient)

Pure X
Caves are so 2010, and animals names are prehistoric to the point that people are probably digging up their fossils. 'Pure' is totally in right now (even more so than 'Twin'), as Cave must have realized when they named their latest release "Pure Moods". The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (who have a new video and tour dates below) may have been on to something in 2007, though they have too many words in their name to really focus in on pure. Lately bands have been zeroing in on this phenomenon. Pure, if you're listening, maybe it's time to reunite again.
Pure X (formerly Pure Ecstasy) released their first full length Pleasure on Tuesday (7/5) and will be in NYC this week to play 285 Kent on Friday (7/8) and Ding Dong Lounge on Saturday (7/9). Bill talks more about both shows in This Week In Indie. Pleasure is streaming below along with both NYC show flyers.
Puro Instinct @ Mercury Lounge (more by Amanda Hatfield)
A slightly less pure version of the word can be found in the Mexican Summer-signed Puro Instinct who, probably to get closer to pure, recently changed their name from Pearl Harbor. Their debut LP under Puro Instinct, Headbangers in Ecstasy, was released back in February. They played four NYC shows last week. Stereogum likes them, but not as much as they like Pure X. Gorilla vs. Bear thinks they're way better than Pure X though. Bill says, "They can really sing and play...better songs will come with time. They're young." Ariel Pink likes them too. They opened for him on tour and at Irving Plaza back when they were still called Pearl Harbor (and are touring now with Ariel's friend John Maus). Ariel also collaborated with the band on the single "Stilyagi." Grab that MP3 above and watch the video for the track below.
So, Pure X, formerly Pure Ecstasy, who released Pleasure, are not to be confused with Puro Instinct, formerly Pearl Harbor who released Headbangers in Ecstasy. But that's not all...
Purity Ring (photo by Chris Tait
Corin Roddick from Gobble Gobble wised up earlier this year, and formed the duo Purity Ring with Megan James. They played their first show last month at Sled Island in Calgary, AB. They were the secret guest the last night of the fest at Hifi Club before Twin Shadow played. They're pictured above in an alleyway outside of the show taken right after they played. They've got a few other festival appearances scheduled including Bumbershoot, FYF Fest, MusicfestNW, and POP Montreal. All of their tour dates are listed below (and that includes a show with Twin Sister who the Pains of Being Pure at Heart also have dates scheduled with). Their only release so far is the single for "Ungirthed" b/w "Lofticries." Both tracks are pretty awesome dubsteppy electropop that the group have dubbed future pop. Grab both MP3s above, one of which also appears on Gorilla vs Bear's mid-year list.
Though older and a bit noisier, it's not unlikely that the similarly named Prurient (aka Dominick Fernow) could end up on the same bill as any of the aforementioned artists - especially considering Prurient just played Public Assembly on June 17 as part of a Stereogum Northside show, and Stereogum's Top 20 Albums of 2011 (so far) list includes not only Prurient, but also Puro Instinct, Pure X, and even an honorable mention for the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Prurient aka Dominick was smart to return with a new album this year to distance himself from his other band with the now outdated name, Cold Cave. Prurient's new LP Bermuda Drain drops July 19 via Hydra Head. Grab the track "A Meal Can Be Made" from that here.

The RXP TakLiberty Fetival will take place on two stages on September 18 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. The radio station (current home of Pinfield) festival features performances by Coldplay, Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), Two Door Cinema Club, The Kooks, Graffiti 6, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and more to be announced. Ticket pre-sale begins Tuesday (6/21) and general sale starts Friday (6/24) at noon.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart also have upcoming shows including August 8 and 9 at Terminal 5 with The Kills and A Place to Bury Strangers. Tickets for both shows are available. The Kooks play a sold out show at Bowery Ballroom on June 27th. Richard Ashcroft recently played Bowery Ballroom.
Coldplay play Austin City Limits two days before the NJ show. They're also on the lineup of Lollapalooza. All of their other dates are overseas at the moment.
Coldplay have a new single awesomely named "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." According to Coldplay's YouTube account, the song contains compositional elements of "I Go To Rio" by Peter Allen, and was produced by Markus Dravs, Dan Green and Rik Simpson with additional composition by Brian Eno.
