Individuals interested in taking any or all of the summer graduate courses must apply to the Graduate College before enrolling. Deadline for summer application is May 1, but we request applications to be completed by March 1 will enrollment in April so classes will have sufficient numbers.
Click to apply on-line. After you complete the application, send to : Frederick Burrack, 109 McCain, KSU Music, Manhattan, KS 66506:
1) Official Transcripts
2) A resume
3) 3 letters of recommendation
4) A short statement of what you hope to get out of your graduate experience
The Master of Music degree does not require the GRE exam. There are two graduate tracks (degree or non-degree) from which to choose. Non-degree is used for those wishing to receive graduate credits without the expectation of completing the entire degree.
Fee Structure per credit hour enrolled
Deadlines: There are no actual deadlines set forth by the Graduate School in regards to application and enrollment for summer graduate study, but the Music Department has established a timeline by which we would like to see students complete those tasks.
Application to the Graduate College - Please keep in mind that processing and approving applications does take some time, since the materials must be reviewed in two offices (Graduate College and Music Department), and you will not be allowed to enroll for classes until you are entered into the university's information systems. Therefore, we recommend the following timetable for application to the Graduate College.
IF you are applying to the Graduate College as a NON-DEGREE student, we would recommend that you file your application materials at least 3 weeks prior to the scheduled start of the first class for which you intend to enroll. This should provide time for your materials to arrive and be reviewed, still leaving enough time for you to enroll for your classes.
IF you are applying to the Graduate College as a DEGREE-SEEKING student, we would recommend that you file your application materials at least 6 weeks* prior to the scheduled start of the first class for which you intend to enroll. This should provide time for your reference letters to arrive and for your file to be reviewed, still leaving enough time, once a determination is made regarding acceptance, for you to enroll for your classes.
Enrollment: If it is your first summer you will need to get an EID before enrolling. Remember that you may not enroll for classes until you have been entered into the university's information systems, which means that you have already applied and been accepted to the Graduate College, either as a non-degree or degree-seeking student. We ask that you complete your enrollment no later than 10 days prior to the scheduled start date of the FIRST class for which you are enrolling. It is important that we have a handle on our enrollment figures in enough time to justify the viability of each class to the College of Arts & Sciences.
Enroll in Courses. You will be able to enroll for courses online, using our iSIS (K-State Student Information System). If you miss the deadline for enrollment, you will have to enroll in person (or have someone do so for you) at the enrollment center at Anderson Hall.
Transfer Credits from another institution: Graduate credit with a grade of B, or better, may be transferred from other accredited institutions. All decisions regarding acceptance or denial of credits from a prior institution will be made by the Director of Graduate Studies in Music. Transfer of more than 6 hours requires special action; in no case may more than 10 hours be transferred.
Transfer of Credits from "Special Student" Status: Generally, but not necessarily, an application for admission to the Graduate School in the Department of Music implies the student's intention to work toward an advanced degree. Students who do not plan to work toward an advanced degree, however, may be admitted as special (non-degree) students. Those who later wish to enter the degree program must undergo a full review. Ordinarily, no more than 9 semester hours earned as a special student may be transferred into a regular degree program. Transfer of credits from non-degree to degree status is handled by the Director of Graduate Studies in Music.

What's going on Thursday? (Davana, Alex G, Leave the Planet, Invisible Familiars, Ex Cops, Breakfast in Fur & more)
Danava @ Bowery Ballroom, 2014 (more by PSquared)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Ex Cops, Sky White Tiger, Tempers, Rinsed (DJ Set), Prince Rama (DJ Set),Crocodiles (DJ Set) @ Baby's All Right
This isn't just a show, it's "Age of Aquarius: A Feast for the Senses" featuring bands, DJs, dancing, tarot, astrologers, and "fantasy." Ex-Cops, who went very pop on their second album, headline.
Bonobo (DJ Set), Museum of Love (DJ Set) @ Output
Museum of Love's Pat Mahony and Dennis McNany are both DFA vets and established DJs, so expect a fun night at Output's Panther Room with Bonobo.
Alex G, Teen Suicide, Eskimeaux, Sam Cohen @ Palisades
This show is pretty stacked all around. There's indie rock up-and-comer Alex G, his Orchid Tapes pal Sam Ray's no-longer-defunct punk band Teen Suicide (who just signed to Run for Cover), Frankie Cosmos collaborator and Epoch member Eskimeaux (who just signed to DDW), and former Yellowbirds/Apollo Sunshine singer Sam Cohen, who recently began a solo career after Yellowbirds' demise.
Danava, Natur, Dirty Fences, Ruby the Hatchet @ Saint Vitus
Portland, OR's Danava specialize in reviving '70s hard rock and proto-metal, with a splash of psych. Pretty well-matched openers tonight too.
Breakfast In Fur, Lost Boy?,Leave the Planet, Chimes @ Shea Stadium
Hudson Valley quartet Breakfast In Fur make anthemic dreampop on their just-released Flyaway Garden. Tonight's the record release show for that album, and UK band Leave the Planet is another highlight of the line-up.
Anvil, Lord Dying, Sunlord @ The Shop
Depending on how you look at it, '80s metal documentary subjects Anvil are either legendary or kinda silly (or maybe both), but High on Fire/Mastodon worshippers Lord Dying (who just dropped a great album) mean business. Kind of a weird double bill, but a good one.
Tall Firs, Mike Wexler, Zachary Cale, Metal Mountains @ Trans-Pecos
They're calling this "Heartworn Subways," which is a night of sets by "songwriters from our community here in NYC, kinda on the mellow, share-a-tune vibe."
Invisible Familiars, Jolie Holland @ The Living Room
Having worked with Martha Wainwright, Cibo Matto, Sean Lennon and others, Jared Samuel's own music, as Invisble Familiars, is an appealing hodgepodge of styles that is at once quirky, folky, poppy and danceable.
All Them Witches, Mount Carmel, The Well @ Mercury Lounge
If you're not at the Danava show tonight, the other place to get your fill of retro stoner rock is Mercury Lounge, where Nashville's All Them Witches headline.
Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band, Mind Over Mirrors, Horse Lords @ Union Pool
Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band may technically be a jam band, but they're the kind that fans of The Grateful Dead and Television could like equally. It's a good show all around with Chicago droner Mind Over Mirrors and Baltimore weirdos Horse Lords.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Oneida playing one-off this weekend w/ Mike Wexler & Chris Forsyth, who's touring w/ Horse Lords & Mind Over Mirrors
by Andrew Sacher
photo: Oneida at Glasslands in 2014 (more by Greg Cristman)
Brooklyn experimental scene vets Oneida have been pretty active lately, and they'll play their first show of 2015 this Saturday (1/10) at Palisades. It's a good bill all around, with the jammy Chris Forsyth & the Solar Motel Band (who put out the great Intensity Ghost LP in 2014) and psychedelic folk singer Mike Wexler. Tickets are on sale now.
For Chris Forsyth, that show is part of an ongoing tour which wraps up the next night in Hudson, NY. In February, Chris will hit the road again with Baltimore weirdos Horse Lords and Chicago droner Mind Over Mirrors. That tour includes a NYC show happening on 2/5 at Union Pool. Tickets for that one are sale now. All dates are listed below.
Horse Lords recently put out the album Hidden Cities on NNA Tapes, which you can stream two tracks from below, and hear the full thing over at Tiny Mix Tapes. Mind Over Mirrors is set to release a new album, The Voice Calling, a collaboration with Haley Fohr aka Circuit des Yeux, on January 27 via Immune Recordings. No music is available from that album yet, but you can listen to an earlier Mind Over Mirrors track, below.

What's going on Friday? (Year of No Light, Caribou, TEEN, Dan Bodan, Yumi Zouma, Sallie Ford, O'Death, Say Hi, more)
Caribou at Governors Island in 2010 (more by Andrew St. Clair)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Special Guest, Guantanamo Baywatch, The Numerators, RIPS @ Death By Audio
We're down to nine days left at Death by Audio. It's anybody's guess who tonight's special guest is, but the rest of the lineup is garagey, surfy-punky stuff highlighted by Portland's fun Guantanamo Baywatch.
Year of No Light, Sannhet, Gnaw, Vilkacis @ Saint Vitus
France's Year of No Light have been making very high quality instrumental post-metal since their 2006 debut, yet in all those years they never played the US. That's finally changing on their current tour, which is now in NYC and concludes a two-night run at Saint Vitus tonight. Like last night, the show begins with three killer artists in NYC's experimental metal scene.
Caribou, Jessy Lanza @ Webster Hall
Our Love, Caribou's recent followup to 2010's excellent Swim, is less focused on the pop songs that album was, and instead heavier on the electronics and great in its own way. Tonight's his second of two NYC shows on his tour with Our Love collaborator/Hyperdub-signed Jessy Lanza.
Johnny Marr, Meredith Sheldon @ Stone Pony
Recalling his prolific days with The Smiths, Johnny Marr has banged out two albums in a year's time. They're not at his 1985 peak, but they're not bad either. He's a lot of fun live, and peppers hit sets with oldies -- any chance to see him play "The Headmaster Ritual" is worth considering. Unlike his two sold-out NYC shows, tickets are still available to this.
Dan Bodan, Physical Therapy, Sadaf @ Baby's All Right
Canadian-born, Berlin-based songwriter Dan Bodan released his soulful and genre-defying new album, Soft, a couple weeks back on DFA. Tonight's the NYC record release show.
Yumi Zouma, Louis Weeks, Leapling, Erika Spring (DJ Set) @ Glasslands
New Zealand's Yumi Zouma mix synthpop and indiepop styles, which makes Cascine an ideal label for the band. Catch them tonight and ask them about opening for Lorde.
Say Hi, Tim Foljahn @ Mercury Lounge
Seattle's Eric Elbogen is still making quality indie pop under the Say Hi moniker which hasn't changed too much since the mid-2000s, and not in a bad way. Opening this show is Michigan's Tim Foljahn, who's been playing since the '80s and was once in a band with fellow Michigan musician Steve Shelley.
O'Death, Death Vessel, Stone Jack Jones @ Bell House
O'Death's new album is dark and super raw folk that fits their name well. Death Vessel on the other hand may share a name with "death" in it but he makes much more uplifting music. And another dark songwriter, Stone Jack Jones, opens the night. Should be a good show all around.
TEEN @ Apple Store Soho
Part of the Apple store's "meet the musicians" series, TEEN will perform live followed by a Q&A with rock journalist Michael Azerrad. Free, 7:30 PM.
The Rural Alberta Advantage, July Talk @ Bowery Ballroom
The Rural Alberta Advantage's anthemic and folky indie rock is in fine form on their new album, Mended with Gold. Tonight their tour with fellow big-sounding Canadian band July Talk hits Bowery Ballroom for its second of two shows at the venue this week.
Animal Collective (DJ set) @ Brooklyn Bowl
While Panda Bear has a new solo record on the way, the other three AnCo guys are taking the chance to go on this DJ tour which hits Brooklyn Bowl again tonight. The tour returns to the same venue in December too (but without Avey Tare).
Dustin Wong, Takako Minekawa, Ricky Eat Acid, Tristan Allen, Trabajo @ Palisades
Former Ponytail guitarist Dustin Wong moved back to his childhood home of Japan after completing his trilogy of loop-based albums and began collaborating with musician Takako Minekawa. Using a specially designed interface that allows them to switch from guitar to keyboards to sampler to vocals, their music is creative and playful. The duo's second album together, Savage Imagination, came out via Thrill Jockey in September.
Sallie Ford, Crooked Fingers, And The Kids @ Rough Trade
While Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside came to an end last year, Sallie is still at it with a new band and they come to NYC tonight. Archers of Loaf singer Eric Bachmann is also on the show with his Crooked Fingers project, making for a great double bill.
Foxes in Fiction, Mister Lies, Emily Reo @ Shea Stadium
If you're into bedroom-recorded, electronic-tinged lo-fi pop, basically everyone on this bill will be up your alley.
Javelin, Tiny Victories, Idgy Dean, Nadia Kazmi @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Chillwave survivors Javelin play tonight at the weekend mecca of music/shopping/games/booze. The bands are free, you're paying for everything else.
Heavy Lights, Doug Gillard, Tinnarose, Bird of Youth @ Cake Shop
Doug Gillard's CV is impeccable, having logged time in Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, My Dad is Dead to name three. His his new solo album, Parade On, is an equally impressive array of sparkling powerpop.
Mike Wexler, Hubble, Psychic Reality @ Trans-Pecos
Psychedelic folk singer Mike Wexler and former The Men member Ben Greenberg with his experimental project Hubble team up for this show which should be nice trippy vibes all around.
Blockhead, Elaquent, Muneshine @ Glasslands
In addition to producing a significant amount of Aesop Rock's material (and other likeminded rappers like Cage, Open Mike Eagle and Murs), Blockhead has a ton of solo material including this year's Bells and Whistles LP.
Suzanne Vega @ Joe's Pub
She may be be best known for "Luka" and "Tom's Diner" (both from 1987's Solitude Standing) but Suzanne Vega's gift for songwriting has continued since. She plays an early and a a late show tonight.
Seu Jorge @ Blue Note
Best known here in America for acting in City of God and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (which he scored using only acoustic, Portuguese David Bowie covers), but Brazilian artist Seu Jorge has been making music since the '90s. This is part of his eight-night run at the Blue Note.
Ray Lamontagne, The Belle Brigade @ Beacon Theatre
Singer/songwriter Ray LaMontagne released the Dan Auerbach-produced album, Supernova, earlier this year. Tonight he wraps up a 3-night run at Beacon Theatre in support of it.
All Out War, Sworn Enemy, Living Laser, Panzerbastard, Recycled Earth @ The Acheron
Metallic New York hardcore band/Victory Records vet All Out War have been at it for over two decades now and they've been talking about having a new album on the way. Maybe we'll hear some new ones tonight?
Phil Lesh @ Capitol Theatre
As any Deadhead can tell you, Phil Lesh plays the favorites and his current band does it well. It's another night of his never-ending residency at The Cap, and these shows are always a good time.
Slonk Donkerson, Bent Shapes, Heeney, The Doubts @ Muchmore's
Amongst the good local bands are Boston's Bent Shapes who make jangly indie pop...but with real bite. Good live, too.
Sharkmuffin, Chimes, Painted Zeros, Slight, Routine Involvements @ Silent Barn
Brooklyn garage rockers Sharkmuffin are always a good local band to catch, and if you're going tonight you may also want to check out Painted Zeros, who pal around with Porches, LVL UP, Crying and other cool local bands.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

What else?
What's going on Friday? (J Mascis, Frankie Cosmos, Wampire, TOPS, Drive-By Truckers, Oneida, Teenanger & more)
J Mascis w/ Dinosaur Jr at MHOW in May (more by Caroline Harrison)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
J Mascis, Luluc @ Bowery Ballroom
J Mascis may be most loved for shredding in Dinosaur Jr, but his mostly-acoustic solo material is great too and he still rips out the guitar solos at these shows too.
Porches, Frankie Cosmos, Regal Degal, Rivergazer @ Baby's All Right
Porches go in a synthy new direction on their new single for Terrible Records, and tonight's show is all in the family with Frankie Cosmos (the project of Greta Kline who's in Porches that also features Porches singer Aaron Maine on drums) and Rivergazer (the project of Kevin Farrant who's also in Porches). Regal Degal aren't in the family but they're worth catching too.
Wampire, TOPS @ Baby's All Right
Wampire's brand of indiepop has a strong streak of yacht rock running through it (hey, isn't that a Gerry Rafferty song?) without actually setting sail; TOPS do to similarly and have gotten quite good in the last year (single "Way to Be Loved" is pretty irresistible). Both bands will be around for CMJ too.
Drive-By Truckers, St. Paul and The Broken Bones @ Beacon Theatre
Drive-By-Truckers have been on the road for a while now, having hauled their tenth album, English Oceans, earlier this year. This ain't no truck-stop, though, it's a show at one of NYC's classiest venues.
Teenanger, Nancy, The Abandos, Sheer Mag, Rock Bottom Boys @ Cake Shop
It's a night of snarling garagepunk, headlined by terrific Toronto band Teenanger, plus Philly's Abandos, Brooklynites Nancy and Philly riffers Sheer Mag.
Arto Lindsay, Guardian Alien @ Le Poisson Rouge
Arto Linsay is a veteran of the no wave scene, having been in the seminal band DNA, and he's also an excellent experimental composer, a collaborator of David Byrne, John Zorn and more. Solid support tonight comes from Guardian Alien, the project of Liturgy's wild drummer Greg Fox.
New Myths, ARMS, Twin Wave, Nicholas Nicholas @ Cameo Gallery
Brooklyn synth trio New Myths just released their appealing new album, Give Me Love, and celebrate tonight. ARMS brand of scifi prog pop will make for a good opener.
Horse Lords, Oh Hang, The Seeers, Brown Water Wampum Band @ Death By Audio
Experimental Baltimore band Horse Lords bring a heap of skronk to their sound. They play tonight with fellow Baltimore eccentrics Oh Hang, as well as VA's The Seeers and Brown Water Wampum Band (members of PC Worship, Head Molt & Liturgy).
Minus the Bear, O'Brother @ Gramercy Theatre
For Minus the Bear's current tour, they're celebrating both a new compilation with b-sides from their past few releases and the tenth anniversary of the excellent They Make Beer Commercials Like This EP from their prime early 2000s era. So it'll be a good mix of the old favorites and some of the lesser heard stuff.
Elliott Sharp @ Issue Project Room
Tonight is the second performance of Port Bou, Elliot Sharp's new opera about the final moments of philosopher Walter Benjamin's life in Port-Bou at the French-Spanish border as he flees Nazi-occupied France.
Har Mar Superstar, The Pizza Underground, Candy Boys, Nowhere @ Knitting Factory
Hope you like extra cheese, 'cause you're gonna get it tonight as Har Mar and The Pizza Underground's tour has returned to NYC. While PU's schtick has gotten cold, Har Mar's '80s-style funk-pop is generally a good time.
Com Truise, Rone @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
This is a good double bill for electronic producers with Com Truise, who's touring behind Wave 1 and Rone, who's touring behind Apache.
Rone, Thug Entrancer, Photay @ Glasslands
Keep the party going after MHOW with Rone who heads to Glasslands for this late show with other quality producers, Thug Entrancer and Photay.
Dope Body, Rat Fist, Bambara, Bottoms @ Palisades
Dope Body make more loud rock on their new album, Lifer, and Pissed Jeans/No Age spinoff Rat Fist make this a great double bill.
Agent Orange, The Architects @ Santos Party House
Agent Orange's only original member is frontman Mike Palm, but with an album that lives up as well as 1981's Living In Darkness, they're still worth checking out.
Oneida, Guerilla Toss @ Secret Project Robot
Like your music descended from Beefheart? Miss the weird, mid-'00s days of Ponytail? Boston's Guerilla Toss make a not-too-dissimilar racket. They open for Brooklyn scene royalty Oneida tonight.
Jimmy Eat World, Minibosses @ Capitol Theatre
While Jimmy Eat World already toured their most classic album (1999's Clarity) for its tenth anniversary, they're now on the road giving the 10-years treatment to Futures which was the followup to their mainstream breakthrough and featured stranger moments than you might have expected from post-"The Middle" Jimmy Eat World.
Mike Wexler, Gardens, Larkin Grimm, Erin Durant @ Union Pool
Among the artists on this bill, psychedelic folk singer Mike Wexler and Swans/Martin Bisi associate Larkin Grimm are both especially worth seeing.
Judas Priest, Steel Panther @ Izod Center
Heavy metal legends Judas Priest released their 17th album in 44 years this year. It had some classsic-sounding Priest on there and sometimes that's all you can ask for. Of course, they've got tons major classics to play tonight too and we'll surely hear plenty of those.
We're Ghosts Now, Bo Ningen, Public Access T.V., Amigos Amigos, Hey Anna @ The Wonder Bar
Wuxia rock practitioners Bo Ningen were performing their high-flying musical acrobatics here in NYC not that long ago and are not to be missed. Amidst a second round of NYC dates, they hit Jersey tonight.
Hatsune Miku @ Hammerstein Ballroom
Comic Con was last weekend but surely this woulda fit right in, a computer-generated Japanese hologram singer (with synthesized voice) playing with a live band. No, really. Check out "her" appearance on Letterman, below.
Black Milk (w/ live band), Wara from the NBHD, AB, Azad Right @ The Studio at Webster Hall
Detroit rapper Black Milk has a new album coming later this month, and tonight he's in NYC with a full band and will hopefully be previewing some new songs.
Rosetta, So Hideous, White Widows Pact, Tiger Flowers @ Saint Vitus
Philly post-metallers Rosetta put out a new EP this week and tonight they're in NYC with guitarist Eric Jernigan from City of Ships joining them. So Hideous and Tiger Flowers make for solid and likeminded local support.
The Orwells, Skaters @ Asbury Lanes
Chicago-area troublemakers The Orwells bring their beer-friendly party rock to NJ with fellow good time charlies, Skaters.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

What's going on Wednesday? (Twin Peaks, Courtship Ritual, Kal Marks, Tori Amos, Mike Wexler, Ramming Speed, more)
not even a broken leg can stop Twin Peaks (more by James Richards IV)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Twin Peaks, The Lemons @ Mercury Lounge
Chicago's Twin Peaks make fun, summery garage rock not unlike their pals in The Orwells. Tonight's their first of two NYC shows on their tour with The Lemons, whose catchy lo-fi pop is worth showing up for.
Imperial Topaz, Fasano, The Flag, Courtship Ritual @ Palisades
Indulge yourself in the dark, bass-y pop of Courtship Ritual, the ambient pop of Imperial Topaz and more at tonight's Palisades show which should definitely be heavy on the vibes.
Sleepies, Kal Marks, Left and Right, Washer @ Death by Audio
It's a good night at DbA for bands that aren't afraid to rock out with Brooklyn punks Sleepies, Massachusetts quirky indie rockers Kal Marks, Philly's Left & Right who sound like they've heard a couple Dinosaur Jr records, and local lo-fi-ers Washer.
Tori Amos @ Beacon Theatre
Since the early '90s Tori Amos has moved between alternative-tinged piano pop, trip hop, orchestral music and more. On this year's Unrepentant Geraldines she's in a piano pop mode that's somewhat of a return to form. This is her second of two Beacon Theatre shows on her current tour supporting the new LP.
'Nothing Changes' w/ Future Blondes, Eaters @ Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home's goth party Nothing Changes continues tonight with old school-style synth pop from Eaters and noisier synth work from Future Blondes.
Summerscreen w/ DJ Dog Dick, Earth Eater @ McCarren Park
Tonight's the final Summerscreen of the summer, and before a screening of Spice Girls movie Spice World (chosen by the audience), we'll get live sets from the highly experimental DJ Dog Dick and Earth Eater, who may both be the polar opposite to the Spice Girls. Maybe if they let it all bleed together it'd sound like Grimes.
Mike Wexler, Ellen O., Phoenicians @ Union Pool
Mike Wexler's a modern artist, but his psychedelic folk sounds straight out of 1969. Take a trip back with him at Union Pool tonight.
Ramming Speed, Bird Death, Grudges @ The Acheron
Boston's wild Ramming Speed make party-hard thrash with more than a little punk thrown into their metallic mix. They return to NYC to rile up the Acheron tonight.
The Big Terrific @ Cameo Gallery
Max Silvestri hosts the free weekly comedy show in the back of Williamsburg's Lovin' Cup. No word on who's performing tonight, but Max usually lets us know via his Twitter.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Koen Holtkamp of Brooklyn drone duo Mountains is releasing a new solo LP this week (3/25), titled Motion, via Thrill Jockey. You can pre-order the album at the Thrill Jockey webstore, but first get a taste of it with the video for its droning acoustic/electronic single, "Between Visible Things," which premieres in this post. There's also an expanded edition being released on CD. Album artwork and tracklists for the regular and expanded editions below too.
Koen also has some dates coming up, including a release show in Brooklyn happening on April 20 at Union Pool with Chicago's likeminded Mind Over Mirrors and local psych-folk musician Mike Wexler. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
All dates are listed, with the new video, below...

Dead Meadow @ Bowery Ballroom - 2/11/14
LA psych-rock vets Dead Meadow are currently over on the east coast on their tour which had them in NYC this past Tuesday (2/11) for a Bowery Ballroom show with blues rockers The Black Cadillacs and psych-folk singer Mike Wexler. An appropriately psychedelic backdrop was provided by Drippy Eye Projections, and you can check out all that trippyness with the pictures and video in this post.
Dead Meadow's tour includes another, smaller NYC show this Saturday (2/15) at Glasslands with Vietnam and Lushes, which tickets are still available for. They'll also be at Austin Psych Fest in May.
More pictures and video below...

Endless Boogie kicking off Union Pool residency w/ Syphilitic Lust, Dan Higgs, Josh Wildman, Hans Chew & more
Endless Boogie at ATP NYC 2012 (more by Luis Ruiz)
Jammy Brooklyn rockers Endless Boogie are about to kick off a residency at hometown venue Union Pool for the month of January (something they've done before). They'll be playing every Wednesday this month, starting this week (1/8), and there's different openers every night.
Photographer and DJ Josh Wildman, a regular at the now closed Max Fish where Endless Boogie could also often be found, will be doing "his amazing freak out squelching guitar ramblings" to open up the first night (1/8) of the residency that also features Lungfish's Dan Higgs on the bill.
Syphilitic Lust, whose 1/2 show at Acheron with Mutilation Rites was cancelled, will make their next appearance as part of the second week (1/15) of the residency along with Jack Rose collaborator and D. Charles Speer & the Helix member Hans Chew who maybe you caught opening for the Boogie back at their album release show in February.
Spacin', Mike Wexler + Band, Call of the Wild, Steve Gunn and a few others TBA will likely be confirmed for the 1/22 and 1/29 dates, so stay tuned for more concrete details on that. No advance tickets for any of the four shows; admission is $9 at the door.
Endless Boogie also open one of the two sold-out Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks NYC shows in February.
Some videos and the full schedule below...

Mexican Summer Five Years day 1 pics (Ariel Pink, Tamaryn, The Fresh & Onlys, Mike Wexler, Bob Trimble & more)
photos by P Squared Photography; words by Bill Pearis
Ariel Pink / Fresh & Onlys / the crowd @ Mexican Summer Five 10/11/2013
Brooklyn label Mexican Summer celebrated its fifth birthday last weekend with Mexican Summer Five Years, a two-day celebration at Red Hook space Pioneer Works featuring much of the label's roster (and a few friends). This has been a big year for NYC label anniversary fetes, and while I dug the scene at DFA's and had a good time at Captured Tracks', hands down this was the best of the three and had a great time both days.
I was wondering if I would, though, on Friday night (10/11) as it took me more than an hour to get there from my Williamsburg apartment. G train (and some walking) or bus, it's a slow trek out there and I was a little grumbly on my way, but that all melted away when I got inside Pioneer Works. What an amazing, cavernous space, formerly used to build ships and tanks, with an almost as big outdoor courtyard where you could hang out if you didn't want to watch one of the bands. People did just that, not to mention taking in the music line-up, doing a little record shopping, checking out some of the space's art and generally had a relaxed time. It felt more like a party than a concert.
But on that tip, they did a great job with the stage, lighting and sound -- though it certainly helped that most of Mexican Summer's artists benefit from natural reverb and echo.
Bob Trimble
A late start by me, I missed Home Blitz, Bob Trimble (who was joined by Quilt for a song or two) and most of Mike Wexler's set. But The Fresh & Onlys were great. Their rhythm section couldn't make the trip from San Francisco, so it was singer Tim Cohen, guitarist Wymond Miles and a pickup bassist and drummer (snares and brushes mainly). With Tim playing acoustic, the songs took on new form and allowed you to really appreciate the craft -- and the genuinely amazing, creative guitarwork Wymond Miles brings to the equation. I know I verge on F&O superfan status, but they deserve all praise. Their new EP, Soothsayer, is worth checking out.
The good vibes (and acoustics) also helped with Tamaryn's set. She's starting to come out of her shell a bit too. Tamaryn used to play in near darkness but now has a projected video backdrop and, for this show at least, some dramatic lighting which put her in cool silhouette for most of her set.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti closed out the night. I am a casual fan and know of his rep as being shambolic, but they played what I thought was a terrific set, and Halloween-themed projections (including a clever appropriation of the Scooby Doo opening titles for their band name). Jorge Elbrecht, who would play the next night with his old project Lansing-Dreiden and just released a collaborative single with AP, is now a Haunted Graffiti member and brings no small amount of technical abilities on guitar. That collaborative single, "Hang Onto Life, with its chorus of "You screwed the pooch, now face it," was probably the highlight of the set. Pictures from night 1 of Mexican Summer Five are in this post.
We'll have pics from day 2 -- with Connan Mockasin, Linda Perhacs, Langsing-Dreiden, Spiritualized and many more -- are on the way. Meanwhile, you can download a free Mexican Summer fifth anniversary sampler here. If you live in NYC, you can catch Mexican Summer bands Quilt and Happy Jawbone Family Band (both of whom were excellent at MS5 on Saturday) tonight (10/16) at Cameo as part of the Mexican Summer/Kanine/Carpark showcase.
Check out more pics from Friday below.

Mexican Summer Fest is this weekend (set times); Quilt, No Joy, Happy Jawbone & Connan Mockasin streaming new songs
by Bill Pearis
Happy Jawbone Family Band
Mexican Summer's 5th Anniversary celebration is this weekend (October 11 & 12) happening at Pioneer Works in Red Hook. The shows will happen inside and outdoors and Friday (10/11) features Ariel Pink, Tamaryn, The Fresh & Onlys, Mike Wexler, Bobb Trimble's Flying Spiders, and Home Blitz; Saturday (10/12) has Spiritualized, No Joy, Connan Mockasin (first US show), a reunited Lansing-Dreiden, Co-La, Lilacs & Champagne, Happy Jawbone Family Band, folk cult hero Linda Perhacs (first NY show), Quilt, Weyes Blood and Soldiers of Fortune. Tickets are still available in a variety of bundles, some of which include a commemorative 250-page book and 10" vinyl compilation (which you can buy separately too). The daily schedule is listed below.
The 10" record that comes with the book features exclusive collaborations from Bay Of Pigs (Spiritualized, Soldiers of Fortune and Neil Hagerty), Jorge Elbrose (Jorge Elbrecht and Ariel Pink), Autre Ne Veut and Fennesz, Bobb Trimble and Quilt and The Lonely Sailor and Renée Mendoza Haran (members of Total Control, Lace Curtain and Ashrae Fax.) This music is exclusive to the book and will not be available digitally. There were 1000 made.
Many of the bands playing have new records either out now or on the way. Brattleboro, VT collective Happy Jawbone Family Band will release their brand new, self-titled LP next week (10/15) via the label. These guys have put out a lot of music -- some of which was collected for Tastes The Broom earlier this year -- but this is a pretty tight, cohesive and enjoyable record. And though the name gives off vibes of folk/bluegrass/jam/etc it would fit in alongside a mix with Fresh & Onlys or Built to Spill on it. You can stream the whole thing over at Pitchfork. You can also catch HJFB tonight (10/10) at Death by Audio with Gull, Lutkie and Painted Faces.
They'll also be around next week for CMJ, playing Cameo on Wednesday (10/16) with Eternal Summers, TEEN, Quilt, Bleeding Rainbow, and Mood Rings who are also on Mexican Summer but are not scheduled to play the anniversary. All dates are listed below.
Speaking for Boston's Quilt, they also have a new single, "Arctic Shark," coming out on Mexican Summer at the end of the Month and you can stream that below. That song will be on the band's new album, Held in Splendor, which will be out January 28.
No Joy, who were here not so long ago, will release a new four-song EP, Pastel And Pass Out, on November 5. Like their terrific Wait to Pleasure LP, this new 12" was produced by Jorge Elbrecht (of Lansing-Dreiden and Violens) and you can stream a track from that below.
The Fresh & Onlys, who are jetting in just for this show, released their new EP, Soothsayer, a couple weeks back and you can stream that via Spotify.
Connan Mockasin (kind of the New Zealand analogue of Ariel Pink), who will play his first-ever US show at this, releases his new album, Caramel on November 5 as well. You can stream "I'm The Man, That Will Find You" below.
Speaking of Ariel Pink, he closes out Friday night's show and has a new collaborative single with Jorge Elbrecht which you can stream below. Jorge has his fingerprints all over this weekend, as Lansing-Dreiden are reuniting for Saturday's show (which should be interesting) and he released a single with Tamaryn as well as the above-mentioned No Joy records.
And J. Spaceman of Spiritualized plays tonight (10/10) at 7 Dunham Gallery with Glen Hasnard and Sean Bones as part of a Daniel Johnston photo book exhibition.
The Rockabus was originally going to provide transportation from Williamsburg and Borough Hall to Red Hook but that is not happening now. Public transportation will get you there eventually.
Quilt, Happy Jawbone, and No Joy tour dates are listed, along with the Mexican Summer Five Years schedule, streams and a flyer, below...

Mexican Summer 5th Anniversary fest lineup (Spiritualized, Lansing-Dreiden, Bobb Trimble, Fresh & Onlys, No Joy, more)
Spiritualized at Webster Hall last week (more by Greg Cristman)
Last week, we mentioned that Brooklyn label Mexican Summer would be throwing a fifth anniversary party in Red Hook (like Captured Tracks just did in Bushwick). It's since been announced that the festival will take place at Pioneer Works on October 11 and 12 and the lineup includes Ariel Pink (who just played Station to Station), the US debut of New Zealand's Connan Mockasin (who was supposed to play Station to Station, but dropped off), Spiritualized (who just played Webster Hall), Tamaryn, The Fresh & Onlys, No Joy, Quilt, Co La, Lilacs & Champagne, Happy Jawbone Family Band, Weyes Blood, Mike Wexler, Home Blitz, '80s-era cult psych-folk legend Bobb Trimble (who played NYC a couple times in the past year or so), '70s-era cult psych-folk legend Linda Perhacs (who makes her NYC debut at the show!), and Soldiers of Fortune (aka the "supergroup" of Papa Crazee, Mike Bones, Matt Sweeney, Barry London, Brad Truax, and Kid Millions, who will be doing a 2 hour jam sesh with special guests).
The fest also features an out-of-retirement performance by Lansing-Dreiden, the arty band led Jorge Elbrecht now of Violens. L-D only played a handful of shows in their original incarnation.
Various ticket options are available now online and at Brooklyn's Co-Op 87, who will also have a pop-up store at the festival.
In addition to the festival, Mexican Summer is also celebrating their five-year anniversary with a new book. A press release states:
The five-year anniversary is commemorated by Mexican Summer: Five Years, a 250-page, 11x11" book limited to 1,000 copies. The book features unique and unseen art and ephemera, photos and written contributions from a host of Mexican Summer artists. Designed by longtime collaborator Dan Schechter, Mexican Summer: Five Years features an embossed cloth cover, screen-printed craft paper wrap, and three interior paper stocks.Full lineup below...
Accompanying the book is a 10" record of exclusive collaborations from Bay Of Pigs (Spiritualized, Soldiers of Fortune and Neil Hagerty), Jorge Elbrose (Jorge Elbrecht and Ariel Pink), Autre Ne Veut and Fennesz, Bobb Trimble and Quilt and The Lonely Sailor and Renée Mendoza Haran (members of Total Control, Lace Curtain and Ashrae Fax.) This music is exclusive to the book and will not be available digitally.

Eddy Current Suppression Ring @ Cake Shop, June 2010 (more by Diana Wong)
One of the biggest, most genuine music fans I know is Andy from Ludlow Street indie rock club Cake Shop. He's an indefatigable listener and always turns me onto new stuff. Here we've got his "best of 2012 and live from cakeshop and recorded" which is topped by Parquet Courts' fantastic debut album, Light Up Gold. You can check out the full list of "21 AMAZING EXPERIENCES" below.
Andy is also a great maker of mixes, and I stil put in one he made for the Cake Shop/Slumberland 2009 SXSW showcase from time to time. Over at the Cake Shop blog, he posted a 2012 mix loaded with great stuff that you can download above and see the tracklist below. Highly recommend. Cake Shop had a successful Pledge Music campaign this year, signed a new 10-year lease, survived the Great Sandy Blackout, and I can't wait to see more bands there in 2013 (like maybe Obits on January 19) and beyond.
Andy from Cake Shop's Best of 2012 list and mixtape tracklist are below...

people at Zebulon for an El Guincho show in 2010 (more by Erez Avissar)
Rumors have been floating around for a while, but now it's official: Williamsburg venue Zebulon, which has always been a great place for world music and jazz, as well as local and touring bands (including being the home of Grizzly Bear's first show in 2004) for about a decade (and almost never charged admission), will be closing its doors for good after their show this Sunday (12/9). The press release (via Zebulon's facebook) reads:
On Sunday, Dec 9 Zebulon will be closing its doors after ten exciting years of pioneering music and arts. Williamsburg has changed significantly since we opened, and unfortunately it is no longer possible today to continue the business in the manner in which it was conceived. Nevertheless, it's been a great run. We are proud to have given many celebrated artists a chance to play in an intimate setting or develop their sound in readiness for a larger audience. Zebulon has employed and supported struggling artists and their families, connected them to a wider musical community in New York and given them a stage on which to experiment. This is our final week so if you haven't been down in a while, please come and say hello/wave goodbye, and pay your respects to this gem of an institution. Thank you for your support and stay tuned for news of our next endeavors and adventures!Major bummer for the neighborhood. The block Zebulon is on (Wythe between Metropolitan and N. 3rd) has changed drastically in the last two years: the bike club/repair shop, such a fixture for longer than I've lived in the neighborhood ('98), is now a surf shop, and long-running diner Relish is now an very busy (and overpriced) Mexican place. Zebulon was the last holdout on the block from the early '00s Williamsburg expansion and will be sincerely missed.
The schedule of upcoming shows for Zebulon's final week (including Mike Wexler, Colin Stetson, Hubble and more) is below.

Mike Wexler
Brooklyn's Mike Wexler released his sophomore LP, Dispossession, earlier this month via Mexican Summer. The album follows his debut LP, Sun Wheel, which arrived five years earlier and in that time he's been honing his brand of psychedelic folk and making it sound even starker than it does on his debut. Dispossession recalls the loner folk of late '60s/early '70s artists like Gary Higgins and Mark Fry, and also the plodding songwriting of more contemporary artists like Will Oldham and Phil Elvrum. Like those artists, Mike Wexler takes his time with every track on the album, more than half of which is made up of 6-9 minute songs. This gives him plenty of space to work in subtle embellishments like backgrounded hand drumming patterns, scattered guitar effects, and airy horn lines. Stream two tracks from the album below or listen to the entire album on Spotify. The artwork and tracklist are also below.
Mike Wexler is playing a record release party for the album TONIGHT (3/30) at Zebulon with Amen Dunes and Hiro Kone. If you miss tonight's show, Mike will play another local show at Glasslands on May 9 with Future Shuttle. Tickets for the Glasslands show are on sale now.
You can also catch another local Amen Dunes show at The Stone on April 17, the same day that Guardian Alien (Greg Fox) plays.
All dates, streams, album artwork and tracklist below...

NY Ear & Eye Fest II - shows & record fair this weekend @ KF, DBA & 92Y Tribeca (also screening 'I Need That Record')
by Andrew Frisicano
NY EYE & EAR FEST II - JULY 9 - 12, 2009!The fest is a part II to the December event of the same name. The Fest's four days of music kick off at the Knitting Factory on July 9th. The bands there include Grooms, Liturgy and Love Like Deloreans (to name a few) with headliners Nymph and Neg-Fi. The fest returns to the Knit on Friday, July 10th, for a show with Magik Markers, Child Abuse and more. In addition to the venue's two floors of music, its already-creepy basement will be turned into a "Video Art Installation and a 7-hour Continuous Drone Room."
Knitting Factory & 92Y Tribeca in Manhattan & Death By Audio in Brooklyn
Pendu presents: NY Eye & Ear Fest II ... a massive 4-day New Music and Arts Fete showcasing some of the most exciting bands, artists, and filmmakers currently living and working here in NYC. In addition, NYE&E assembles a Record Fair featuring NYC-based Record Labels and Vendors selling LPs, CDs, 7''s, cassettes, lathes, comics, zines, stickers, and art prints.
The Fest then switches to the 92YTribeca on Saturday for a concert and a free record fair. Also at 92Y will be a program called "Women of NYCinema," with films and music from Sarah Lipstate (aka Noveller), Liz Wendelbo, Rachel Blackwell and Dirty Churches. The vendors range from big names like Matador Records to the recently featured Journal of Popular Noise to notable jazz label ESP-Disk.
The fest's final, fourth day moves to Brooklyn for a closing party at Death by Audio. That lineup includes Murdertronics, Team Robespierre, Talibam!, Total Abuse and Drunkdriver.
Tickets for Thursday, Friday, and a variety of Saturday packages are available.
Separate from the festival, on Thursday, July 9th the 92YTribeca will screen filmmaker Brendan Toller's I Need That Record, a documentary about the problems facing record stores around the country. It will be the NYC premiere of the movie that was getting some attention already all the back on Record Store Day 2008. The movie includes interviews with Thurston Moore, Ian Mackaye, Mike Watt, Chris Frantz and more. Toller will be on hand for the showing. Tickets are on sale.
More details on the film (with video trailer) and the Ear and Eye Festival, below...

""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""
A Memorable Taste of Britain
A ballotine is boned and flattened poultry, stuffed with ground meat and other ingredients. The dish doesn't get any tastier than the version concocted by Bon Soirée owner/chef Derek Freeman.
Freeman employs a stuffing of minced pork and crumbled black pudding, to which he adds brandy, port and seasonings. He rolls the stuffing into thin sausages and wraps them with chicken. Then he covers the resulting round ballotine in Parma ham and poaches the dish for approximately 20 minutes.
Now comes the bed of "bubble and squeak." In England, bubble-and-squeak cakes are a Monday treat made of finely chopped veggies and mashed potatoes—leftovers from Sunday dinner—that are formed into cakes and pan-fried. (Rest assured, said Freeman, the veggies in his bubble-and-squeak cakes are not leftovers.)
The chef cuts the finished ballotine into portions and aligns them on the bubble and squeak with char-grilled asparagus and au jus from homemade chicken stock. The result is a thing of beauty, and according to Freeman, just as delicious as it is attractive.—Kirby J. Harrison

Faith Seriously
July 25, 2005
POPULAR DEMAND Gregg Easterbrook's hopeful essay on the possibility that warfare is trending toward obsolescence fails to meet the aspirations of its lofty title ("The End of War?" May 30). Warfare may presently be in decline as a result of increased democratization and prosperity, lack of conflict between superpowers, and improved international peacekeeping. But Easterbrook underplays the threat of nations going to war in order to secure scarce resources in the face of booming population growth.

SANTA FE — There wasn't much left to chance this weekend.Both the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls tennis teams took part in the pre-District 2AAAA tournament Friday and Saturday hoping to leave no doubt as to which teams would get the top seeding in the 2AAAA championship tournament in two weeks.And the Hilltoppers came through in impressive fashion.Both teams soundly defeated the Española Valley Sundevils at home Friday and both scored impressive wins over Capital and Taos Saturday at Capital's home courts.The seeding meeting will be held a week from today, but no other squads accomplished anything close to what Los Alamos accomplished this weekend.Top to bottom, both the Hilltopper lineups looked solid throughout pre-district play."I'm very happy with the way I played and the way our team played," Hilltopper Jason Grider said following the two sweeps Saturday. "Overall, it was a great day of tennis."Against Española Valley, Los Alamos' boys won an 8-1 decision, running into little trouble most of the way.

(8:02 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Massey Energy Co. MEE, +75.00% reported late Tuesday a fourth-quarter loss of $70.1 million, or 69 cents a share, its third consecutive quarterly loss. The metallurgical coal mining company, which agreed Jan. 29 to be acquired by Alpha Natural Resources Inc. ANR, +0.00% for $8.5 billion, had posted net income of $24.4 million, or 28 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. Total revenue for the quarter rose to $730 million from $584 million a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet Research expected Massey to lose 33 cents a share on $751 million in revenue. Massey has been struggling financially since the April 5, 2010, blast that killed 29 workers in its Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia.

(5:15 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Medical device maker Boston Scientific Corp. BSX, -0.18% reported late Tuesday fourth-quarter net income rose to $236 million, or 15 cents a share, reversing a year-ago loss of $1.08 billion, or 71 cents a share. The year-ago results include a settlement of patent disputes with Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +0.11% Excluding one-time items, the company's fourth-quarter earnings were $313 million, or 20 cents a share, compared with $304 million, or 20 cents a share, a year earlier.

Aflac quarterly profit dented by Irish impairments
(4:55 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Aflac Inc. AFL, +0.86% said late Tuesday that fourth-quarter net income came in at $437 million, or 92 cents a share, versus $251 million, or 53 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. The results included after-tax realized investment losses of $191 million, or 41 cents a share, compared with realized investment losses of $307 million, or 65 cents a share, a year earlier. Impairments of investments in Allied Irish Banks, Irish Life and Permanent, and Aiful Corporation, combined with several other small security transactions and impairments, totaled $263 million, or 56 cents a share, in the latest period, Aflac also said.

Unisys posts profit decline as sales fall 10%
(4:40 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Unisys Corp.

"Outside of the U.S. federal market, our IT outsourcing revenue grew each quarter in 2010 and 6 percent for the full year." Shares of Unisys were down slightly at $29.32 in after-hours trading following the earnings announcement.

Pfizer to buy back stock, raise dividend
(10:54 AM ET) BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Pfizer Inc. PFE, -0.60% announced early Tuesday that its board has approved a $5 billion stock buyback program on top of its existing $4 billion authorization, and that it intends to purchase around $5 billion shares in 2011 alone.

Pfizer also said it plans to raise its once-coveted dividend, which it cut to help fund its 2009 mega-merger with rival Wyeth. "While the dividend level remains a decision of the board and will continue to be evaluated in the context of future business performance, barring significant unforeseen events, we continue to target a dividend payout ratio comparable to the current industry average of approximately 40 percent in about three years," said Pfizer's new chief executive officer, Ian Read, in a statement.

Analysts polled by FactSet Research have been expecting earnings of $2.89 a share.

procbody - create a ``neutralized form'' of a procedure
Calling Sequence
any Maple procedure
Important: The procbody function has been deprecated. Use the superseding functions ToInert and FromInert instead to translate between Maple expressions and the corresponding inert forms.
This routine creates a ``neutralized form'' of a Maple procedure. This ``neutralized form'' can be examined, or modified in ways the original procedure cannot be. This routine is probably more useful in writing other routines to manipulate procedures than for interactive use. The function procmake creates a procedure from a ``neutralized form''.
The neutralized form replaces statements, local variables, parameters, and some functions with ``neutral'' equivalents. These neutral forms are described in the help file for procmake.
Do not evaluate the ``neutral form'' since this will almost certainly corrupt it due to such expressions as Digits being changed into 10 .
a := proc(x) if x<0 then -x^2 else x^2 end if end proc:
b := proc(x) local a; for a in x do print(a) end do; a; end proc:

Orrie James Biggles settled into his chair on Wednesday, with sunlight pouring through the open door of his garage on a cul de sac in east Santa Rosa.
A neighbor, who had just helped Biggles set out his trash can, was playing soccer with his son in the round court at the end of the street.
Biggles, a World War II medal winner who was born and raised on a two-horse farm in rural Georgia, quietly died of respiratory failure at age 100.
"That's how he went, sitting in the sun," said his daughter, Kathleen Chiappari of Santa Rosa. "He just fell asleep."
More than 70 people, some from as far away as Georgia and Florida, had attended his 100th birthday celebration on Nov. 30, a day after his actual birthday.
Friends and relatives will attend Biggles' funeral service at 11 a.m. today at the Lafferty - Smith Colonial Chapel, 4321 Sonoma Highway, Santa Rosa, followed by entombment with military honors at Santa Rosa Memorial Park's Valley View Mausoleum.
The day before he died, Biggles removed his oxygen line to start pruning his prized roses, an effort that taxed him, his daughter said.
"That's how he was," Chiappari said. "He was going to do it himself. He lived on his own terms."
At age 99, Biggles painted his own home. In his early 90s, he had painted neighbors' homes and regularly cleaned out the barn and tended the horses at Chiappari's home.
Her father's longevity was because of his genes, Chiappari said, reinforced by a diet heavy on homegrown vegetables and light on meat, without smoking for half a century and minimal alcohol.

The urge to svn merge
Joshy and I have just sent the final copy for Swing Hacks to the editor, along with over 200 screenshots to the production department (yeah, they're going to love us). After a reasonable but non-trivial amount of time, it'll be available at your favorite bookstore or online bookshelf.
This was my second book (the first is about QuickTime for Java), and my first with a co-author. Important lessons learned from both experiences:
- Subversion rocks -Granted, Joshy covered this earlier. For sharing and revisioning code, it's truly awesome. We used subversion both for the code examples and for the book contents (the write-ups and screenshots). This was an easy way to share and manage stuff between the two of us, far more practical than e-mail could ever have been (imagine juggling source, images, write-ups, etc. for each of 100 hacks). When two contributors (hi Jonathan; hi Romain) came on the project part-way through, it was easy to get them caught up by having them do a
svn checkout. In fact, when I dropped into VirtualPC to test my hacks on Windows and make any adjustments, I would just use a separately checked-out repository there, committing back any changes coded on that side. The only thing I can truly say I dislike about subversion is that setting a property to ignore class files is nowhere near as easy or as memorable as just doing
cvs ignore *.class
- I should have made an ant build file sooner - On the QTJ book, I set up an ant build file early in the process, and every example in the book can be compiled and run with a single ant call like
ant run-ch03-undoableqteditor. It's a hassle up front, but it pays off. We didn't do that work up front on Swing Hacks, so I have to go back and do it now so the downloadable code will be ready for everyone to use when the book's ready.
- Find just the right amount of experimentation to do, and budget accordingly - Generally, inventors of a technology don't write the defining book on it, though there are exceptions (such as O'Reilly's perl, Ruby, and Subversion books). So, the author usually has some amount of learning to do in the writing process, and even a little experimentation. You want to get some things in that nobody's done before (or at least nobody's posted in a place where Google can find it). Thing is, if your whole book is like this, it will take 10 years to write. And if you never do this, the book can have a "nothing new" feel to it. So on Swing Hacks, Joshy and I did put some stuff in the proposal where we said "we haven't done this before, but we really think it's doable". And those were good to figure out and get in there. But they can't all be like that.
- Read your co-authors work early - Joshy and I have different code-quoting styles, and we only realized late in the game that they looked strange when they were in the same chapter. I ended up changing a lot of my long listings to a more broken-into-pieces style to match. By the way, do people still type in programs from books by hand? We've really tried hard to make sure this is still possible, though it is obviously far preferable to download a book's code from its supporting website.
Hopefully, you'll like the book. We learned a lot from each other and from our contributors as we were writing it.

On October 15, 2014, Wesleyan College will revive
Benefactors' Day, a tradition for much of the College's history and one that
President Ruth Knox '75 believes is worthy of revisiting.
"For many years Wesleyan set aside one day each year to celebrate all those who had given to the College. Wesleyan is blessed to have true, faithful, and loyal donors who deserve the gratitude of the entire Wesleyan community. With Phase I of the FAST Forward Campaign coming to a successful close, this fall seems like the perfect time to bring back Benefactors' Day for a new generation. For the many alumnae and friends of the College who give to Wesleyan so that our students can enjoy a first-rate experience, we can never say 'thank you' often enough."
Benefactors' Day was for many years held on May 12, the birthday of George I. Seney, Wesleyan's first great benefactor. A New York banker, son of a Methodist minister, and philanthropist, Seney happened upon a copy of a sermon delivered by Bishop Atticus G. Haygood, the president of Emory College (1875-1884). The sermon inspired Seney to support Southern education by donating a series of gifts to Emory. When Seney asked Haygood to recommend a women's college in the South, Haygood suggested Wesleyan. As a Methodist and the brother of Laura Askew Haygood from the Class of 1865, Haygood was quite familiar with Wesleyan, and in 1881 the College began receiving a series of gifts from Seney that ultimately totaled $125,000, an enormous sum in that day.
In 1943 Benefactors' Day was changed to October 15, the date in 1836 when the cornerstone was laid for the first building on College Street. (That act was one of faith and determination since the College was not officially chartered until December 23, 1836.) The new date recognizes that Wesleyan has from its beginning benefitted from the generosity of donors who shared a common interest in quality higher education for women.
According to historical records Benefactors' Day was a school holiday with "poems read and ice cream served on the campus." Later it was a "half-holiday" and finally a convocation with a speaker. Wesleyan has not regularly observed Benefactors' Day since the early 1960s. Plans are to make the new Benefactors' Day a celebration that involves every constituency of the College: alumnae, students, faculty, staff, administration, and community friends.
President Knox envisions the day as an opportunity to educate our students on the importance of philanthropy in the life of the College. "For students who may not even realize that Wesleyan is a non-profit institution, the event could be a real eye-opener. For example, some students may be unaware that tuition covers only slightly more than half the cost of a Wesleyan education. That gap is covered by our generous benefactors, past and present, who have shared our vision and our commitment to be truly 'first for women.' Their gifts provide the scholarships, build the buildings, and make the student experience possible. Whether the gift is $100,000 for an endowed scholarship or $10 for our annual fund, we want to celebrate our donors!"
Stay tuned. In the coming weeks and months you will be hearing more about ways you can participate in Benefactors' Day.

Twins prefer three lefties in bullpen, but not if righties are better
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- For a team that has lost nearly 200 games combined the last two seasons, the Minnesota Twins are actually sitting pretty well with their bullpen.
With lefties Glen Perkins and Brian Duensing, and right-hander Jared Burton, the backend of the 'pen is already set. Perkins has turned into one of the better closers in baseball, Burton's changeup proved virtually unhittable for most of last year, and Duensing, when used sparingly against powerful right-handed bats, has been effective as well.
Behind those three, the Twins will keep four more relievers, and according to general manager Terry Ryan, it doesn't matter if all four turn out to be right-handed.
"We have a boatload of guys, especially from the right side," Ryan said. "From the left side it's basically Duensing and (Tyler) Robertson, (Caleb) Thielbar and maybe (Pedro) Hernandez. That right side, we've got a bunch of guys. ... You prefer the best 12. ...
"It would be great if you could have three quality lefties out there. That would really give you a lot of balance, but nobody is going to take a lefty just because he throws left-handed if there's a better righty sitting out there."
Right-hander Alex Burnett seems to have solid job security after posting a 3.52 ERA (4.03 FIP) in 71 2/3 innings last year, although his 4.52 strikeouts per nine were among the fewest of any pitcher in baseball.
Right-hander Casey Fien also impressed last year, posting a 2.06 ERA with 32 strikeouts and only nine walks in 35 innings.
Righty Anthony Swarzak has been an innings-eater over the past couple seasons, but his spring routine has been pushed back weeks due to damaged ribs.
Most of the other realistic right-handed bullpen candidates are newbies.
Josh Roenicke was claimed off waivers from the Colorado Rockies this offseason, much to the chagrin of former Twin Michael Cuddyer, who has texted his former colleagues raving about Roenicke.
Roenicke has been a strikeout-per-inning guy at almost every level, including the majors, when allowed to pitch an inning at a time, but the Twins could use him in a long role much like the Rockies did last year.
Wood has fared poorly in 58 career major league innings, posting a 4.50 ERA, walking more batters (33) than he has struck out. But at Triple-A Indianapolis last year, Wood posted a 2.19 ERA with 67 strikeouts and only 23 walks in 70 innings.
"We signed Wood to a major league deal for a reason," Ryan said. "We liked what we saw in the International League last year in the Pittsburgh organization."
Rich Harden could also be a bullpen candidate by the end of March, as is Rule-5 pick Ryan Pressly.
It's worth noting that Wood, Roenicke and Swarzak are all out of minor league options.
So, if the season started this week, it's likely the Twins' bullpen would be lefties Perkins and Duensing, and righties Burton, Burnett, Fien, Roenicke and Wood.

Public campaigning for ends Karnataka parliamentary bypolls
Public campaigning ended Monday for the Aug 21 bypolls to two Lok Sabha seats from Karnataka with ruling Congress and the JD-S making winning them a matter of prestige.
The two constituencies, Bangalore Rural and Mandya, about 80 km from Bangalore, will see direct fight between the Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) as the Bharatiya Janata Party withdrew its candidates in support of the latter.
The constituencies are considered JD-S stronghold and the bypolls follow resignation of the party's Lok Sahba members, H.D. Kumaraswamy from Bangalore Rural and N. Cheluvarayaswamy from Mandya after they got elected to the Karnataka assembly in the May 5 elections.
The two bypolls are the first the Congress faces after returning to power in the state in the May 5 assembly elections on its own after nine years.
Snatching the two seats from JD-S in its strongholds would be a further morale booster for the Congress ahead of the general elections due in April-May next.
Kumarswamy, son of JD-S president and former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda has fielded his wife Anita Kumaraswamy from Bangalore Rural.
Anita is pitted against Congress' D.K. Suresh, the younger brother of Congress legislator D.K. Shivakumar.
The Shivakumar and Gowda families, both belonging to politically influential Vokkaliga community, are bitter political rivals for the control of the Bangalore Rural seat.
In Mandya, which is also the home district of former chief minister and former external affairs minister S.M. Krishna, the battle is between popular Kananda film actress Ramya of Congress and C.S. Puttaraju of JD-S.
Both the candidates belong to the Vokkaliga community as it dominates the southern part of Karnataka of which Bangalore Rural and Mandya are part.
The community constitutes about 15 percent of the state over 60 million population and is concentrated in the southern parts.
Vote counting is on Aug 24.
Bitter attack on each other, often of personal nature, by the Congress and JD-S leaders marked the campaign.
BJP's decision to withdraw its nominees from the contest gave a big handle to the Congress to taunt Gowda on his claim to be a staunch secularist.
Gowda has been at pains to tell the voters in the two constituencies that he had not entered into any tie-up or understanding with the "communal" BJP but that party is "supporting JD-S on its own".
However, Gowda's explanation took a beating Sunday as senior BJP leader and former minister R. Ashoka campaigned along with Anita Kumaraswamy in Bangalore Rural constituency.
