John Entwistle Tribute Guest DJ Set
Pittsburgh musician Nathan Zoob plays Guest DJ with Joey Spehar on The Morning Mix on the 70th anniversary of John Entwistle's birth.John Entwistle has no lack of material to draw from as his influence as a bassist has a deep history, so Zoob begins with the song "My Generation" which he feels may have the most famous bass solo of all time and one that highlights Entwistle's unique sound. Zoob remarks on just what to listen for in a song like "My Generation", "he would turn the treble way up on his amps and he would turn the bass up on his amps and nothing else it was all volume and treble and bass, it was almost a guitar like sound but with this low rumble". Zoob's second choice "The Quiet One" shares its title with one of Entwistle's many nick names. "He was known as the ox he was known as thunder fingers…but he was known as the quiet one which was in stark contrast to the rest of the band". The nickname the quiet one was represented in how he was a calm presence on a stage full of rambunctious energy and the song was written as somewhat of an autobiographical song.Zoob's third pick as guest DJ celebrating John Entwistle's birthday is "Boris the Spider". What became Jimi Hendrix's favorite The Who song came from a jam session with a fellow bass player from the Rolling Stones, "he was hanging out with Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones and they were coming up with funny animal names and he came up with Boris the Spider and wrote this song in about six minutes". "Boris the Spider" became one of The Who's most famous songs and certainly one of Entwistle's most famous works. Nathan Zoob is currently working on new material and promises to let WYEP know when he has new music to share.Zoob's Guest DJ Set:The Who - My GenerationThe Who - The Quiet OneThe Who - Boris The Spider
Matthew Sweet 50th Birthday Tribute
To celebrate Matthew Sweet turning 50, Mike Sauter put together a Matthew Sweet oriented birthday set on The Morning Mix. Mike Sauter is WYEP's resident Matthew Sweet fan and has a wealth of knowledge to share in celebration of Sweet's 50th birthday. Looking back to the very beginning Sauter notes that Sweet is a veteran musician with many years recording and performing under his belt, "he has been doing this a lot longer than people realize". While still in high school in Lincoln Nebraska Sweet was able to give a demo to Michael Stipe of R.E.M. while they were performing in Lincoln. Encouragement from Stipe led Sweet to seek the emerging music scene in Athens Georgia where he became a member of two bands that have a hint of sweets musical touch. Sauter plays a sample of the song "Christmas" by The Buzz of Delight, "you can totally hear what would eventually become the full flower of Matthew Sweets solo career". Despite minor success with a band and even working major record labels Sweets first two solo Albums in 1986 and 1989 were virtually ignored, "he had a really good shot of getting some attention for his work but it just didn't quite work out, but then came his big breakthrough". Sweets third album Girlfriend features stunning guitar contribution from Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine, "it turned out to be hugely popular for Sweet and may well goes down as his masterpiece", says Sauter, from that album he plays "I've Been Waiting".Following Success from Girlfriend Sweet released four more albums though it appeared as though each received diminishing attention. In 2003 However Sweet began experimenting and forming songwriting sessions with Shawn Mullins and Pete Droge, which eventually became the group The Thorns, Sauter notes that while the album was great it did not reach mass appeal despite being compared to Crosby Stills and Nash. As a highlight of Thorns Sauter plays the song "I Set the World on Fire" from their one time album. Following The Thorns Sweet released a few more solo Albums and other projects. Sweet has dedicated following and it seems he is enjoying the musical lifestyle says Sauter, "He's following his muse and doing what interests him it seems like much more so in recent years". This led Sweet to a project with Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles, the project is a series of cover Albums called Under the Covers under the moniker Cid and Susy, "I wanted something showcasing a different aspect of Matthew Sweets career" says Sauter as he plays the cover of "Alone again Or" from Under the Covers Vol.1.Matthew Sweet continues to tour and Mike Sauter notes that at his last visit to Pittsburgh Sweet told the audience that he is crowd funding a "serious new album" that appears to be making a push to appeal to a wider audience.
Trey Anastasio 50th Birthday Tribute
Joey Spehar of The Morning Mix pays tribute to Trey Anastasio on his 50th birthday. We also present an interview with Trey from 2002.When I was 16, I wanted nothing more than to be able to drive. To have some freedom – a place of my own to blast my Rancid and NOFX CDs. I signed up for Driver's Education and I thought my journey would begin there. It did. It just wasn't the journey I expected.As many stories of love, passion, and inspiration begin, so did mine, with a girl. To be honest, I cannot even guess at what her name was now. I can barely see her face in the back of my mind. BUT, I can still see – as clear as an early autumn morning – what she doodled the back of her Driver's Ed worksheet. It was a standard issue peace sign, except it wasn't. There were letters on either side of the dividing line in the middle. It spelled a word I didn't really know much about. It spelled PHISH.I wanted to get to know this girl and as a music fan I knew that one road into her heart would be paved with records. I asked her to tell me about PHISH and she did. Sort of. She told me the names of the members – Trey, Mike, Page, and Fishman, but she said I needed to listen to them and then I'd know. She said their new album was coming out the next day. The next day, I asked my mom to take me to Record Rama on the way home from class. I grabbed a CD with what looked like an outhouse on the cover and I took it home and into my room. As the first few notes of "Farmhouse" rang out, I liked what I heard. By "Gotta Jiboo", I thought, "Wow. This is a real rock n roll band. As "First Tube" faded out, I became a convert. Little Joey Punk Rock had an awakening. I wanted more. I needed to hear where it started. Farmhouse was Phish's 8th record, by the way. I called my friend Phil and we searched. I couldn't find Junta so I grabbed A Picture Of Nectar. I liked "Tweezer" a lot. I didn't know if it was the jokey lyrics or the funky guitar line or the fact that it was still going at 8 minutes. (In the world of mid-nineties punk, that was 4 or 5 songs easy…)I picked up Hoist and Billy Breathes next. I played "Wolfman's Brother" for my brother. We still enjoy that song together. I asked my guitar teacher to help me figure out the chords to "Waste". He did. And he praised me for listening to something by someone who obviously knows how to use a guitar.I finally got my hands on a copy of Junta and I couldn't wait to dig in. It was off to good start. I like the laid back story telling of "Fee". I liked the characters. And did he just say nipple? Yeah, this is good. And then the next song came on. And it kept going. And building. And building and... Wait for it. Here it comes. Not yet. Wait. YES!! Whatever kind of music you call your own, whatever scene you're part of, how can you hear that for the first (or the one hundred and first) time and not feel pure joy? You can feel the passion and creativity and ambition of these guys pouring out of your speakers.As a punk kid, it was kind of my job to hate hippies. That's just the way it was for middle class kids who attended high school where and when I did. I think that Kurt Cobain had a lot to do with why I thought that way, too. I decided then and there that I was a music lover. Not part of just one scene. Not trying to be cooler than you. Not letting others be in charge of what I enjoyed. I was only lucky enough to see PHISH live one time. July of 2003. I think we still called it Star Lake back then. It was an historic show for the band. They (and when I say they I mean whoever updates Phish.net and any other setlist sites). They say it was a pretty impressive show and the boys looked refreshed and almost possessed that night. I didn't know all of that at the time. I just saw the look on Trey's face when he was deep in soaring solo. I saw the band crack each other up as Fishman stepped up for his Electrolux solo. I could feel pure joy in music.Or maybe it was just that girl. Driver's Ed was long gone. I never did get her number. If I ever saw her again, I'd have no idea. I can be sure of one thing. She came into my life at a time when I didn't know I needed her and left quite the lasting impression. Thanks, Trey. Happy 50th.
Book Of Mormon Guest DJ
Jake Emmerling has found himself living all over the country since leaving Pittsburgh in pursuit of performing and especially now that he is touring with The Book of Mormon he finds that home is wherever the show is playing. This is reflected in his first pick as guest DJ "Home" by Ingrid Michaelson. Emmerling says that Ingrid Michaelson is one artist that has really become one of his favorite artists, "she is such a great new indie pseudo pop style and it's so infectious and great to listen to…she still writes her own music and I think that's something that is lost these days". Emmerling's second pick is another song that reminds him of his own past and home in the city of Pittsburgh, "Bruised" by Jacks Mannequin. The album Everything in Transit featuring "Bruised" was released while Emmerling was still in high school and was a track he often listened to during his frequent long drives into downtown, "it's something that kind of centers me and brings me somewhere comfortable when I am in a hotel room across the country". For his third pick as guest DJ Emmerling goes to another of his current favorite artists Florence and the Machine, the song "Bedroom Hymns" while not one of Florence and the Machine's commercial hits is a great example of the indie sound that Emmerling finds appealing.Joey also asks Emmerling about his current work on the hit musical The Book of Mormon. Written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creative minds behind the television show South Park, one might expect the stage production to be purely a comedic work but Emmerling suggests that there is more to it than laughs, "it's something that they just use as a doorway to look at religion in general, I think it's surprising how much more pro-faith based it is…the message at the end is a great message". Emmerling also reveals the team that helped him choose his songs for this guest DJ session, his mother and father who has been a WYEP member since the early 80's, "I grew up listening to WYEP, it's always been in the background".The Book of Mormon is currently showing in Pittsburgh and more information can be found at Trustarts.org
Bruce Springsteen 65th Birthday Set with Scott Mervis
In honor of The Boss' 65th birthday, Scott Mervis (Pittsburgh Post Gazette) shares some Bruce Springsteen songs with Cindy Howes on The Morning Mix. When Mervis was asked to be on The Morning Mix to celebrate Springsteen's 65th birthday, he immediately searched for the closest thing The Boss has to a birthday song in his catalogue. While Springsteen never quite took on writing his own version of "Happy Birthday", "Growin Up" is a timeless song about coming of age from early in his career. Mervis notes how this song really exemplifies the early sound Springsteen established, "There was that Dylan and beat poet, Alan Ginsberg those academic influences on him, but he was also like this bar rocker, sort of a mid-west ascetic, and I think that's what you see early in his career and in this song you hear this surreal poetry that he picked up from those guys". For Mervis' second Springsteen song he thinks back to his own personal experience of seeing his first Springsteen show in 1978 at the Stanley Theater. Mervis recalls being in awe of Springsteen's emotion fueled performance of "Something in the Night" from the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour, "I can still see him… all the lights were turned down and he did these screams at the end and I thought this guy is unreal. It was amazing. It's one of my favorite tracks on that album".For his 3rd pick, Mervis goes to what is one of the most highly regarded albums in Springsteen's catalogue, Nebraska, with the song "Johnny 99". Nebraska holds reverence as one of the great Springsteen albums but it also is noted for being the first time Springsteen became particularly political in his music. Mervis explains how it was in Pittsburgh that Springsteen took a political stand with "Johnny 99", "Ronald Reagan had just quoted Springsteen and "Born in the U.S.A.". Springsteen had heard about it and he said 'I don't think Ronald Reagan heard this song'…on the stage at The Civic Arena". Mervis also points out how "Johnny 99" was so poignant in 1984 Pittsburgh, "he saw what was happening with manufacturing and Pittsburgh and the steel mills closing…"Johnny 99" was about this disenfranchised American worker".Mervis also discusses Springsteen's current career as a musician, "If I were to do my power rankings of rockers who are of social security age and can still pull it off, I think Springsteen would be number one…he is still playing these long 3 hours shows". It's noted how Springsteen can still be seen stage diving and pushing his performances to the limit even now that he is celebrating his 65th birthday.Mervis' Springsteen picks:1. "Growin' Up"2. "Something In The Night"3. "Johnny 99"

Chuck Prophet on The Morning Mix
Chuck Prophet joins Cindy Howes on The Morning Mix to discuss his new album, Night Surfer. Chuck's vision for the album was to question what the world might be 20 to 30 years from now, which he attempted to answer by observing the state of his home San Francisco (aka Startup City, USA). "At some point I tapped into this dystopian thing, looking around at life in Startup City, USA has changed a lot in the last few years". Prophet observes that even when there seems to be economic prosperity it does not necessarily equate to a bright future, "Even in my neighborhood there has been an influx of money which is great on some levels but on other levels people have a lot tied up into their condos here and they don't like to see the fringe element. Any day I half expect to get rounded up and chased out of town". Prophet also notes that he loves his home, "I'm still the type of person that loves his $13 sandwich and overpriced cappuccino".On Night Surfer, Prophet got the opportunity to work with Peter Buck of R.E.M. Prophet has been a fan of R.E.M. for a very long time and has always seen them as an influence and a band that has paved the way for others, "I always admired them, they respected each other, knew how to compromise, every challenge that came along they figured out how to do it. They led the charge for so many great bands". As for Peter Buck himself, Prophet says that as a guitar player it doesn't seem like he is doing much but his contributions are indispensable, "he always adds something to the song that is hard to take out, he is just an intuitive hook machine". Cindy moves on to ask Prophet about the first song on the album "Countrified Inner City Technological Man" and what exactly that means. To which Prophet can only say that he simply does not know, "it's a little like be bop a loo ba she's my baby, I don't really know… It was fun enough for me to keep messing around with until it became a song".Prophet also discusses his unique voice and how he uses it with his writing, "I've never been a singer… I think I can deliver a song and I think I can get into the head of a character" he goes on to say that despite his love of music he often prefers unique voices, "I like singers that don't sound like singers, I don't like to be sung at…I like to hear people talk the way they talk".The album Night Surfer is out 9/23/2014 , Chuck Prophet performs at Club Café November 15th.
Mike Doughty on The Morning Mix
Morning Mix host, Cindy Howes, is joined by former Soul Coughing frontman, Mike Doughty to talk about his new album Stellar Motel. It is obvious on this new album that Doughty is not afraid to explore many musical ideas, featuring many rap artists and guest appearances, Mike explains his changing perspective, "This album was all about Collaborating with [producer] Good Goose, who I did work with on the last one, the making of it was all between me and him". DJ Good Goose is known for being a rap producer and Mike explains that through him he met many rappers, a resource that was taken advantage of as many of the tracks heavily feature various rap artists, "I was just doing whatever I could to work with great artists and enjoy their company". Doughty's love of rap and country has been evident through his career and the blending of these two genres can be seen on Stellar Motel. "My dad was from Louisiana, and he played a lot of Hank Williams in the car, it took me a long time to appreciate it but it just got set into my bones at some point…the longer I write songs the farther I go into country music".Mike is performing in Pittsburgh November 24th and Stellar Motel is out 9/16/2014.
Moby Guest DJs on The Morning Mix
Moby guest DJs on the Morning Mix with Cindy Howes. Moby's first choice as guest DJ is Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee". Moby explains that his picks today are not reflective of the music he performs, but the music he grew up loving, "My mom was a hippie. I grew up hearing a lot of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Janis Joplin and Carole King. It's the music that I loved when I was young." Moby says this song has a special place in his heart, "it's a beautiful, warm romantic song, I think it has the arguably the most romantic line ever written in a song". Moby actually got the opportunity to join Kristofferson on stage and asked him if they could perform "Me and Bobby McGee" "I thought he would shut it down and says that's Janis' song, but instead he happily agreed to play it with me." Moby's second pick as Guest DJ is James Blake performing Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You". "Somehow [Blake] segued from pure experimental electronic music into almost more into this new strange genre of singer-songwriter/electronic music." Moby finds himself enamored with Blake's vocals "His voice is so beautiful and so emotive, everything he sings just immediately sounds heart breaking". It has been noted that Moby would like to collaborate with Blake and, in fact, tried to with his album Innocence but it simply did not work out.For his third and final guest DJ pick Moby chose "Heroes" by David Bowie. "I think "Heroes" is possibly the most perfect song ever written". Moby reflects a time when he was going on tour with Bowie and he was joined by the musician in his apartment. "I said why don't we do an acoustic version of "Heroes"?... And there was just the two of us… in my apartment on a Saturday morning playing an acoustic version of "Heroes"."Moby performs Sunday at the Thrival Festival, a day that is being dedicated entirely to electronic music, an idea that was actually his design. "I choose what festivals I attend by the intention of the organizers, there are a lot of sleazy electronic festivals and I try to avoid them…when I saw the artists for Sunday and Saturday I could tell that the organizers were not just trying to make a buck and actually were really thinking about the artists they were playing, and that made me excited to get involved".Moby's Guest DJ Set list:Kris Kristofferson – "Me and Bobby McGee"James Blake – "A Case of You"David Bowie – "Heroes"

Bobby Spehar Teacher Guest DJ
Joey Spehar took the opportunity to sit down with his very own brother, Bob, for a Guest DJ session.Bobby teaches English at Sto-Rox High School as well as at Robert Morris University. Bobby begins his session with a track that hits very close to home for him as an educator. "Children's Potential" by Tony Duggins, is a long a capella piece that begs the listener to really consider the ways in which educational programs becomes funded and just how imbalanced and unfair it often appears to be. Bobby suggests while listening to the song to, "contemplate what we as a society value and maybe how we can better serve our citizens in most need" citing the songs themes of education "who better to help than children?" Bob's second song "Popular" by Nada Surf is one that Joey and Bobby both recall listening to as they were entering the world of high school and Bobby feels that he can make a parallel between "Popular" and Kanye West's "The New Workout Plan" pointing out the "pseudo-ironic advice" as a satire that he loves to instill in his own students. As an english teacher any song that is influenced by a classic work of literature is likely to turn his ear. "Afternoons and Coffeespoons" by Crash Test Dummies (influenced by T.S. Elliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"), is a much more light hearted take on what Bobby describes as "not a very happy poem" but he admires the way the song juxtaposes the unhappy themes with a up-tempo attitude, saying "if we spend all of our time worrying then we're not really living" something that he feels good teachers need to recognize and pass onto their students. The Song "Satellite Radio" by Steve Earle might, at face value, seem to be more relevant to WYEP's own Spehar Brother, but Bobby would cite the songs opening lines which describe the many trials of waking up in the morning and having to do one's job, as a great description of his daily routine as an educator, "sometimes your tired, sometimes your throat hurts…but at the end of the day you have to put on your radio show, and I have to teach my class, and we both have to make things happen"Bobby's final pick "Hurricane Season" by Trombone Shorty to him personifies his passion of school when it is really good. Bobby says "If a song can do that if a song can show that if a song can breathe that out of its self then this is that song". Bobby Spehar's Guest DJ Setlist:Nada Surf – PopularCrash Test Dummies – Afternoons & CoffeespoonsSteve Earle – Satellite RadioTrombone Shorty – Hurricane SeasonT. Duggins - Children's Potential

Tom Brosseau on The Morning Mix
Cindy connects with Tom Brosseau while he is in his home state of North Dakota.

WYEP Celebrates the 45th Anniversary of Woodstock

Roadkill Ghost Choir on The Morning Mix
Andrew Shepard of Roadkill Ghost Choir talks to Cindy Howes about the band's debut In Tongues on The Morning Mix. Roadkill Ghost Choir is a family affair and features three Shepard brothers including our guest Andrew. Shepard says that this was not always the plan but it has been working well for him, "when I first started the band I didn't really have them in mind to be in it, it was a one off show…I brought them along to play that first show but then it rolled into a whole band thing". While it was never originally part of the plan Shepard claims that working with his brothers offers some unique advantages, "the dynamic is completely different when you're playing in a band with your brothers me and my brothers can yell at each other and someone can say 'hey man that's a terrible part' and no one really gets their feelings hurt because we have been doing it our whole lives, so it's just easier". Roadkill Ghost Choirs album In Tongues often deals with rather dark themes but often sounds rather up beat and happy, Shepard says this duality often comes naturally, "I don't want to make a record that is just pure bleakness you know? That can be a burden, I don't think it's something we try to do it just sort of happens I guess". "A Blow to the Head" is a long song on In Tongues that proves to be a creepy epic that ultimately dealt with Shepard finding the bands identity, "I was confused about where the band was going and what people expected from us as a band, we have been compared to a lot of bands I don't really think we are peers with…I wrote that song to let everybody know that we can't really be compared to those bands". The band started in the small town of DeLand Florida which Shepard says is a beautiful place but ultimately did not provide the musical outlet that the band needs to grow, "musically I don't think we were ever influenced by it… it did give us a lot of down time to develop our sound and the music we listen to so that was helpful". The band has since moved to Athens Georgia, "we just love this town, there is a lot of good music and a lot of good bars, and it's a very creative place to be".Roadkill Ghost Choir's new album In Tongues is now available.

Scott Miller Guest DJs on The Morning Mix
Cindy Howes is joined by recording artist Scott Miller for this guest DJ session, Scott Miller came onto the music scene in the early 90's in Tennessee. For his first pick as guest DJ is "9,999,999 Tears" by Bruce Robinson and Kelly Willis. He had recently played with Bruce in Colorado…"I had not forgotten but I needed to be reminded of what an awesome song writer that guy is and that song is just like wow this is awesome".Scott Miller's second choice as guest DJ is "Patchwork River by Jim Lauderdale. Scott chose this song not only because he had been listening to it frequently of late but also because he personally owns and operates a 200 acre cattle farm and "patchwork River" resonates with him the fact the he wears many hats in his life, care taker for his parents, worker on his farm, musician and performer.Third and final choice from Scott as Guest DJ is "Tennessee Waltz" by Pee Wee King. "in my opinion the best song ever written… it's all subjective but I like songs that tell a story, go from point a to point b and invoke an emotion and this is the king of it".Cindy and Scott discuss Scotts immediate musical future and when a new record might be expected, "It's time for a new one" Scott says between all of his other work he does find time to escape and work on his music as much as he can.1. 9,999,999 Tears - Bruce Robinson and Kelly Willis2. Patchwork River - Jim Lauderdale 3. Tennessee Waltz - Pee Wee King

Jonny Lang Guest DJ on The Morning Mix
Jonny Lang plays guest DJ with Cindy Howes and shares some of his favorite blues songs. For his guest DJ set, Lang picks some of his favorite blues songs that he feels are a great introduction to the blues genre. For his first song Lang picks Albert Kings "Blues Power". "Blues Power" is from a live recording that Lang feels has a fantastic guitar sound, "maybe the best recorded guitar tone of all time…it's a pretty amazing sounding recording". Lang's second pick is "Honey Hush" by Albert Collins. Lang feels that Albert Collins is likely his favorite guitar player, "if there is anybody that I have tried to emulate on guitar it's him, something about his style and the way he attacks the guitar is unique".For his final selection guest DJ, Jonny Lang picks "Hellhound on my Trail" by Robert Johnson. "You hate to give a rundown of blues songs without putting Robert Johnson in there" states Lang. He feels that it is both a great piece of music and American history, "even though we have so little from him as far as recordings, this is one of my favorites".Jonny Lang's latest album is Fight For My Soul.Jonny Lang's song picks:1. Albert King - Blues Power (Live)2. Albert Collins - Honey Hush3. Robert Johnson - Hellhound on My Trail

Sam Herring of Future Islands Guest DJs on The Morning Mix
Sam Herring, frontman for Future Islands, Guest DJs on The Morning Mix with Cindy Howes. Future Islands released their latest album Singles earlier this year.Herring first chooses "Reason to Believe" by the "amazingly haunting" Karen Dalton, a song that, he says, is her way of begging someone for reason to believe in them but also saying "I want to believe in you." Herring says he's found her three LPs, and they really bring him peace.Out of Chicago, the dreamy hip-hop artist Serengeti, has caught Herring's ear for the past few months. "'Kenny and Jueles' came off an LP put out last year called the Kenny Dennis LP which is Serengeti performing in this character called Kenny Dennis," he says. "He's singing about the time he was on American Gladiator in the early 90s, and he beat Nitro and Powerball, and he had the chance to become a gladiator, but he didn't want to be away from his love because he loved her so much." It's so funny but so real, he says, and the way he paints the character Kenny Dennis is the same way.Appearing on Letterman a few months ago, performing the song "Seasons (Waiting On You," Herring and Future Islands made quite a stage presence that caught the eyes of many, but as far what's going through his mind onstage, Herring is "trying to be aware of the audience." "I think that performance would have been a bit different had there not been an audience in the room," he says. "I think as long as you're connecting with your audience, for me, that's what music is all about."Sam Herring's Guest DJ Setlist:Karen Dalton – "Reason to Believe"Serengeti – "Kenny and Jueles"Future Islands – "Seasons (Waiting On You)"

New Local Music Guest DJ set from HughShows
Local music photographer and a staple in the local music scene Hugh Tyman (aka Hughshows) shares some of his favorite new local songs with Cindy Howes on The Morning Mix.Howes cites Tyman as one of the first people she met in the local music scene who has had a great impact on it. Tyman, having been involved for 15 or 20 years, chooses his set with the local music scene in mind. The first track he picks is "City Deer" by Roger Harvey & The Wild Life which sounds like a cross between Neutral Milk Hotel and Bright Eyes. "This one is more melodic, but it still rocks a bit." Tyman then talks about his friend and partner in the Hughshows concert series Jay Vega. "Without him it would be bongos and kazoos."Many bands fade out and are reborn as other projects; such is the case with local band Yarn Wallows who came from The Slant. "[The Slant] is like the Joy Division or Uncle Tupelo of Pittsburgh," he says. "I like the vibe that they give off that's bombastic, self-described as bombastic, fun, groovy sing-along." Tyman then talks about his last pick John O'Hallaron, a.k.a. Chalk Dinosaur, a one man, studio only musician. "He changes his vibe with each track with each album. He's very prolific, but I just love the spirt of the song ["Pittsburgh I Love You"]."Hughshows is celebrating its tenth year and occurs every second Saturday of the month in 2014. This month's show on August 9 will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., featuring Rob Gray (authentic Appalachian dark folk), Action Camp (Electro-doom pop), Essential Machine (indie-folk), and Balloon Ride Fantasy (fantasy rock).Hughshows' Guest DJ Setlist:Roger Harvey & The Wild Life - "City Deer"Yarn Wallows - "We Abound/We Are Bound (Puppeteering)"Chalk Dinosaur - "Pittsburgh I Love You"

Marissa Nadler on The Morning Mix
Boston-based singer Marissa Nadler released her sixth studio album this year, entitled July and also recently released a 7' inch split with American folk singer-songwriter Father John Misty. Nadler talks to Cindy Howes on The Morning Mix.Nadler has been compared to artists like Joni Mitchell and Mazzy Star, and it turns out these were the kinds of artists she was inspired by but takes after Mitchell's patterns even moreso than musically. Nadler, like Joni Mitchell, is a painter and went to Rhode Island School of Design for painting. "If you're an artistic person or an artist, it can cross many different media," she says. "That's affected the way I write song lyrics."Randall Dunn, best known for working with metal bands, produced Nadler's newest album, and Nadler says she thinks her music was thrown in the same community because it was pretty goth, with titles like Ballads of Living and Dying." "Black metal has a lot of overlap with acoustic music," she says. "A lot of black metal is just very ambient, beautiful music."The new 7' split with Father John Misty will feature him and Nadler covering each other's songs. Nadler covers "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" and Misty covers Nadler's song "Drive" which she says she hasn't heard yet and is waiting to hear it on vinyl.
Adam Duritz's 50th Birthday Tribute Set
To celebrate Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz's 50th birthday, Mike Sauter picks a Counting Crows themed Guest DJ set on the Moring Mix with Cindy Howes.Sauter says his first Counting Crows experience was in 1993 when their first album was released. There were many influences floating around during that period including grunge, British dance rock and American roots rock, and the culmination of all that resulted in what people at the time who heard Adam Duritz called "the new Van Morrison." One of the first songs that got everyone interested, "Mr. Jones" had an interesting dynamic, Sauter says, that summed up everything at the time. "Half the time I don't know what the heck is going on [in the lyrics], and I like that, because it kind of allows me to impose whatever I'm feeling at the time on the lyrics."Sauter then talks about the musical transitions the band went through in their career, but in his opinion, everything came together with the album This Desert Life, and"Mrs. Potter's Lullaby" is "the grand epic of that album." Skipping forward many years to their new album, Sauter says the band sounds exciting on their newest release Somewhere Under Wonderland. Their official new single is "Scarecrow," but another song was released, he says, called "Palisades Park." "There are a lot of great images that, as you listen along, you can kind of correlate to things that happen in your own life." The music video, almost like a short film, also holds no real clue to what the song is about, but it consciously tries to get a Bruce Springsteen vibe across, Sauter says.Sauter then talks about a friendly experience he had with Duritz. There was a contest online a while back to create art for Duritz's fan album made of cover songs, with no big release planned. So Sauter says he made a bit of art but never heard anything until a few months later. He had received a piece of vinyl that Duritz sent out to the fans who participated. "In my book, Adam Duritz, not only a terrific musician, but A+ guy."Mike Sauter's Counting Crows Guest DJ Set:"Mr. Jones""Mrs. Potter's Lullaby""Palisades Park"

Serena Ryder Guest DJ on The Morning Mix
Serena Ryder Guest DJs on The Morning Mix with Cindy Howes. Ryder released her latest album Harmony in 2012.Ryder starts off her Guest DJ set with a song she calls phenomenal and one of her favorites, "Surprise" by Sean Rowe. With a low, boomy voice like Bruce Springsteen and lyrics like Leonard Cohen, Sean Rowe has a special place in Ryder's heart. Ryder then picks the song "Chandelier" by Sia, saying her friend first played it for her, and Sia is probably one of the coolest people, having met her. "It's really fun to scream it and sing it at home and run around my house singing it."Ryder's last pick is "Good Sex" by Kevin Drew, a good friend of hers from the band Broken Social Scene. "[His] new record really is phenomenal from front to back," she says. "This is the first kind of standout pop hit I think that came out at me on the record."Ryder performed at a WYEP event a few years back which she recalls as a bit smaller of a stage than she can be contained. Like her upcoming gig at South Park, Ryder likes access to a big stage. "I get to run around; I'm so hyper, so that's really fun for me."Serena Ryder's song picks:1. Sean Rowe - "Surprise"2. Sia - "Chandelier"3. Kevin Drew - "Good Sex"

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division will be deployed this month to battlefronts in Iraq and Afghanistan. For many, it will be their third deployment.
Lieutenant Colonel R.J. Lillibridge didn't offer false reassurances during a recent meeting. The commander for the First Battalion, 187th Infantry told hundreds of soldiers and their families that the unit had nine soldiers killed last year. He said more would probably be killed on the next deployment.
The pre-deployment meetings for families focus on the worst possible scenarios - making a list of next of kin for notification, whether soldiers should have wills, the process for getting injured soldiers home.

A Feminine Hero?:
Total posts: [19]
I'll show you real magic.
While I was designing The Hero of my story, I couldn't help but notice how feminine he turned out to be. Appearance-wise, he's a very pale Dude Looks Like a Lady (and yes, he's a Bishōnen) who is frequently mistaken for a girl. Once he came to school wearing female uniform and everyone, including The Lancer, mistook him as a girl and some even tried to ask him out. He even wears a ribbon (you know, that kind of stringy stuff? How do you call that?) in his fights. Attitude-wise, he's, while can be an extremely ruthless Combat Pragmatist, (see Is My Hero Too Violent thread) outside fights, very gentle, good at houseworks, especially cooking, likes serving tea to his visitors, sometimes including burglars, and generally act like a male Yamato Nadeshiko. He has his own firm sets of ethics, but mostly he's very submissive to authority figure. He's Bi the Way (Everyone Is Bi in my story, it appears.) who doesn't mind The Lancer, also bisexual Memetic Molester with No Sense of Personal Space more or less groping him. Mind you, he's more or less a teenage Kung-Fu Wizard soldier who hunts down Eldritch Abominations and his modus operandi preferred method of killing is either setting them on fire, crushing their organs followed by decapitation, and his favorite:grabbing their heads and blowing it up. Does this design make sny sense?

Frankly, considering that you have a real knack for the Refuge in Audacity, I think it makes perfect sense. In context. You should make sure that everything gels, though; otherwise, it will either make no sense * or simply come off as trying too hard * . Her retelling of Beowulf, which sounds quite cool, by the way.

Burr...I don't know how you can describe a character more specifically than that. Unsubtle, no doubt, but to the point? Probably. Then again, you may be right, seeing how my understanding in use of Tropes is oh-so-trustworthy. AB!Beowulf? Who's that? Uhm...thanks...? If that's supposed to be a compiment...I was actually going for Refuge in Cool, but...oh well. What do you mean by Internal Logic flaw? Just wondering. Oh, and you people read Beowulf?! Dear god, I'm illiterate compared to you people.

According to the other thread he's punching godlike beings straight through like twelve buildings, so no, not really. A lot of people on TVT seem to be familiar with Beowulf, but I'm the only person here who actually obsesses over the story. AB!Beowulf is very, very different from the original story. I have not merely taken liberties, I have stolen a whole major overseas shipment of them. Also, the reason why describing stuff in tropes isn't a good idea is because it doesn't really tell us anything. Characters are not piles of tropes, they just have some traits that also happen to be tropes. Lady Anne of Beech at your service.

If and when Ferricyanide decomposes it forms Prussian blue so starts to turn greenish, then blue, a 1% solution may keep OK for some time even when made up with tap water and there's a clear colour shift as it goes off.
So what happens if one were to use a chloride instead of a bromide for a re-halogenating bleach? Further, can one use sodium chloride as the chloride, and in what proportion? Some brands of Kosher salt sold in the US contains nothing but sodium chloride. though there are some brands that contain an agent, yellow prussiate of soda, to prevent caking. I suspect these brands are to be avoided if salt can be used in a re-halogenating bleach.
Chloride gives a warmer (less red/more orange) colour with sulphide and thiourea toners than Bromide. The traces of Iodide in some table salt and the anti caking agents have no effect as the level is so low.
Agfa published 3 bleaches and 3 or 4 toners and final image tone/colour was varied depending on the combination used.
Thank you, Ian. I think I'll give it a go if I can find the Agfa formulae.
Found the formulae for Defender Varigram bleaches and toners here: http://silvergrain.org/Photo-Tech/toners.html
Thanks for the information; great thread. I like the convenience of a 10% stock - I find it's easier to tweak the bleach to my taste. Using Ian Grant's suggested 3g Ferricyanide + 3g Pot. Bromide + 1L water yesterday, I found it to be too quick acting. To each their own, of course.
The Defender Varigram toner has always fascinated me - I think this winter I'll spend some time with it, trying to get it to look like Kodak Sepia. Thanks for the link, Frank!
Ok so yesterday I made a bunch of prints solarized and now I am bleaching them to lift the highlights.
Here is a quick observation now that I am ten prints into it.
A squeegee is very helpful and slow running water, I bought a whole range of brushes at home depot, and am using a pot ferr and pot bromide combo as Ian suggest, I am refiixing and hypo clear and wash before I get to the next stage.
By using the squeegee each time you use the brush, you can lay down bleach exactly where you want it without it running , I have the prints on a metal sheet propped up with a 2x4 one its end, the bleach stays there and is perfect for my application.
The angel of the metal is key as well the water should be slow running as not to move the bleach around or have the bleach fall vertically where one does not want it.
I feel great about this and hope it is the key for this project... time will tell.

This version of TruthBeauty, originally organized in collaboration with the Vancouver Art Gallery, has been edited for travel. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated 160-page color catalogue, published by the Vancouver Art Gallery and available directly from Vancouver Art Gallery.
"There are a great many things I am in doubt about at the moment, and I should consider myself favoured if you would kindly enlighten me. Signed, Doubtful, off to Canada." (BJP 1914).
this is a must see exhibit. i was lucky enough to see it at the george eastman house last may. the catalog is beautiful.
I wrote to Eastman house to see if they had a scedule of presentation. Here is the reply.
"I'm pleased to hear that! Please find the schedule for TruthBeauty
below. Please note that after the engagements listed here, the show
will be retired due to the fragile nature of the objects.
Thanks and best wishes,
February 3 – May 2, 2010: The McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX
May 21 – August 8, 2010: Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati, OH
October 9, 2010 – January 9, 2011: The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC"
Thanks to Leeann: looks like cincinnati or Washington for me.
Just returned from seeing the show, possibly the best 8 dollars I have ever spent.

Remember Me
I have to admit, I can be quite the grouch around Yuletide celebrations. I openly lambaste the materialism that modern-day Christmas has become; hell, I'm Jewish and I receive presents and cards from friends and family all over. Maybe it going season-after-season celebrating Hanukkah with a lack of presents in comparison to my Jesus-loving friends, but Christmas never struck a positive chord in my obviously cold soul. This review is a perfect example; it's only mid-November, and I am not only participating in the whole holiday hootenanny by reviewing a Christmas record, a box set of all things, but I am contributing to the whole consumerism angle because in the end, I recommend acquiring the set in question, a five-year recording project of EPs by Sufjan Stevens entitled simply Songs For Christmas. Past aggression towards the holiday season, dislike of unrelenting materialism and grouchiness aside, Songs for Christmas is as lovely as a drunken toboggan adventure with cafeteria meal trays. That is because Songs For Christmas is more Sufjan Stevens than Christmas-y, more music than ornament and more turkey than stuffing.
First and foremost, to a certain extent, Stevens is a sacred, Christian-influenced artist, so understanding that he has been steadily recording Christmas songs since 2001 is no surprise. Both Seven Swans and the gorgeous Illinois contain sporadic flickers of Christ, albeit in a more self-referential, hidden manner. While very little of his work is intentionally Christian, the intrinsic influence of Christ and company is there. On Songs For Christmas, the influence comes full circle, as Stevens smears together both traditional and original songs to praise, celebrate and in some ways, make fun of the spirit of the season.
The box set is divided into five separately packaged EPs, entitled Noel (2001), Hark! (2002), Ding! Dong! (2003), Joy (2005) and Peace (2006). Stevens recorded a Christmas EP each December (except 2004) with his friends and band mates at home in Michigan. Packaged together with lyrics, artwork, games, stickers and other doodads in typical eccentric Stevens fashion, Songs For Christmas is a meaty, dense tour-de-force. I could use the fruitcake metaphor, but I will refrain this time around, because I hate fruitcake. The standards are there, sometimes two or three renditions, including "Jingle Bells," "O Come O Come Emmanuel," a brilliant version of "Amazing Grace" on Noel and others, but what differentiates this set from other stocking stuffers is Sufjan's own work, which at times mirrors the heartfelt complexity and piercing emotion found on his secular work.
Utilizing myriad instruments – basically anything they could find around the house as the story goes, including banjos, harpsichord, jingle bells of course, fiddles, brass, and hand claps – Stevens and his band crafted Christmas songs worth consuming regardless of the season, because each emotive, folk-fueled melody functions impressively aside from the Santa and sleigh libretto. "That Was the Worst Christmas Ever!" off of Ding! Dong! and the heavily orchestral, bewilderingly complex "Get Behind Me, Santa!" off Peace are as good as anything else in his massive catalogue, as flirtatious brass lines tremble and triumph over booming choruses, fragile vocals and grand piano. The same goes for "Put the Lights on the Tree" from Hark!, "Christmas in July" on Peace and "The Incarnation" off of Joy. Moreover, more classical, solo piano and guitar renditions of both covers and originals join the team, further buttressing the musicianship, eclecticism and originality of the set. If Christmas were always at Sufjan's house, I would happily provide the eggnog and caroling songbook, but let him sing.
All in all, Songs for Christmas is as lovely as running into the most attractive girl at the office holiday shindig under the mistletoe, lubricated on mulled wine. Yet maybe I have been a little too enthusiastic, as I still dislike Christmas but I adore this collection. Maybe it is because this collection is not about Christmas at all; or maybe, and go with me on this one, it is actually about what Christmas truly, intrinsically and religiously signifies.

This is a great reviewI agree that Christmas is ridiculous...Very well writtenAnd I really like this project...I bootlegged 3 of the EPs from some website awhile ago...It's all really interesting (Sufjan-esque) stuff

I'm tired of our leaders (government or otherwise), re-defining the phrase "bad to worse" every other day. We thought things couldn't be any worse when Mr. Ten percent took the Presidential office of our "Islamic" Republic. We now have a hundred more reasons to believe we were wrong – things as they stand today are in no comparison to how bad things were when he took oath.
Every other day, someone stands up claiming to sweep the country out of its problems with a long march or a "Tsunami", yet actions show nothing happening.
Every other day, me and you bear with excessive hours of load-shedding, with our businesses going down that directly impact the state of employment, which has a killing impact on our power to feed, clothe and protect ourselves and our families.
That said, we still have time to go out and kill in the name of God those who dare differ to what we opine. We have all the time and resources in the world to kill in the name of our religious, sectarian and ethnic associations.
Whatever happens to us is by design, someone out there is conspiring against us – all the time – yet we plunder and kill in the name of provincialism, nationalism or whatever.
Denial. It is the state in which we find ourselves in, as a nation. We are conspiracy kings, by now.

Stotts' refusal to call out players gains team equity
Lillard: Didn't lock down defensively
NEW ORLEANS -- Saturday night's 108-107 loss at home to the Miami Heat is about the most frustrated you'll see Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts get in public.
There was a defensive breakdown when Heat forward Chris Bosh found himself wide open and knocked down a game-winning three pointer to steal the game with LeBron James out nursing a strained groin.
There was plenty of blame to go around on that final Trail Blazer defensive possession, yet, during his postgame presser, Stotts held his tongue when it would have been more than appropriate not to do so.
That approach has credited him equity with his players.
"I don't see the purpose in calling out a player through the media," Stotts told CSNNW.com after a weekday practice session. "I believe there's more negative that could come of it than good. I don't believe in it. That's not the way I choose to go about my business. If I have something critical to say, I'll address it to the player directly."
Some coaches use calling out players in the media to light a fire or to send a message. But this team appears not to need such a drastic tactic.
Wesley Matthews says he'll run through a brick wall for Stotts. Nicolas Batum says Stotts' way of handling players helps with the buying in aspect. This team believes in him and whatever he draws up, they've got the confidence that it's going to work regardless of who the play is for.
Stotts has developed into one of the league's supreme game-callers and his diagramed plays out of timeouts are second to none. With .5 of a second remaining in the game after that Bosh dagger, Stotts put his team in position to pull off the unexpected with a lob inbounds pass to LaMarcus Aldridge in the paint.
Unfortunately, Aldridge's catch-and-shoot attempt at point-blank range was off as he fell to the ground from being off balance. Aldridge was also the player who left Bosh open for that three when the Trail Blazers were up two to help on a penetrating Dwyane Wade.
Wade threw a behind-the-back pass to Bosh and Mo Williams tried to rotate over but he had too much ground to cover. Mental lapses happen from time to time and that was one of those moments. That's why it's huge to have started the season off 24-5 so they're able to absorb such a defensive breakdown.
After last night's contest, any other coach might have seen an opportunity to make a public, name-calling statement following that debacle. However, Stotts demonstrated restraint and his players are appreciative of this method.
"Nobody wants to hear their name being called out by their coach," Aldridge said to CSNNW.com. "I'm not saying a coach shouldn't do it, but it's definitely not something you look forward to hearing. The way he handles us is what you hope for: Just us talking it out between the two of us."
The little things like that make all the difference in the world.
Often, coaches are viewed as truly coaching when they're constantly barking at the players or jawing with the refs. Nice-guy, composed coaches seldom get the credit they deserve for coaching their tails off.
But make no mistakes about it, when it's time for Stotts to turn up, he'll turn up. And the players take it in just how you'd expect from a 24-6 squad.
"He's a calm person but he knows how to turn it up when he needs to," Damian Lillard said. "When he speaks, everybody listen because we know what he's telling us is going to work if we execute properly. I think everybody likes how he approaches us."
