I am always really proud of the charity team, but this week I am especially glowing. We (well Philip McCarthy and Karen Taylor – I can take no credit) have secured £33,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to put towards our celebrations at Harefield to mark its centenary. This is really splendid. I am not sure if I know of any other NHS charity which has secured HLF before now so we may well be the first. There are so many stories which are emerging about the last 100 years of Harefield Hospital. It has an extraordinary history, from its roots treating wounded Australian soldiers in WWI, through its tuberculosis years, and on to being a pioneering heart and lung transplant surgery centre (led by the iconic Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub). Today it continues to be trailblazing, carrying out more heart, lung and dual transplants than any other UK hospital. Alexander Fleming studied at Harefield, and the world's longest surviving heart transplant patient is a Harefield patient – and what a wonderful character John Mccafferty is.
One of our first events to mark this extraordinary year is a reception at Australia House on Thursday 16th April. With music, speeches and, of course, sumptuous surroundings, this is going to be a very special evening – do come and join us.
Royal Brompton has always been a ground-breaking hospital, especially in research into respiratory diseases. Professor Eric Alton is leading some extraordinary new trials to find out more about how to treat the life-shortening disease cystic fibrosis. Would you like to enter this amazing world of revolutionary research for an hour, hearing from Professor Alton on the latest medical developments? Join our Audience with Professor Eric Alton on Thursday May 28th.
And last but by no means least, did you join us for our first ever London Bridges Walk last year? Not only did we have a beautiful walk and raised funds for our important charity, but we really stepped out and felt the benefits of getting fit. It was a lovely day last year and in June this year we are doing it all over again – I hope we have the same stunning weather! Book your places now.
Yesterday, the Prince of Wales met patients and staff at Royal Brompton Hospital in his first official engagement as patron of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Prince Charles visited Foulis Ward to meet patients being care for at Royal Brompton's adult cystic fibrosis centre and to speak to clinicians involved in providing specialist treatment. The Prince also met support staff involved in the day-to-day running of the unit, which is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
After unveiling a plaque to commemorate his visit, The Prince of Wales, said: "I am so delighted to have a chance of visiting the hospital and the unit here, which I know does such wonderful work on the cystic fibrosis front, but also I am so proud to become patron of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in its 50th anniversary year.
One of the patients introduced to the Prince was 25-year-old chemistry graduate Nicholas Mason, from Sussex, who is currently on his fourth admission of the year and has spent many months of this year in hospital.
Nicholas explained to Prince Charles that his lung function has dropped to about 20 per cent and he therefore needs to carry an oxygen cylinder everywhere he goes.
Nicholas said: "The Prince was very interested in the genetic cause of cystic fibrosis and I explained that both of my parents carried the gene, but had no way of knowing this until I was born."
Royal Brompton Hospital established the UK's first adult cystic fibrosis service in 1965, to provide treatment to the increasing number of patients living with the condition into adulthood. Since then, Royal Brompton has been responsible for the introduction of many treatment innovations that are now regarded as routine and was a model for the development of other centres in the UK and Europe.
Today, the multidisciplinary team, which includes consultants, specialist nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, clinical psychologists and pharmacists, provide expert inpatient and outpatient care to almost 700 adults and 350 children and their families.
A unique exhibition – Safe Ground: An Unlikely Collaboration – has opened at the Sydney Street coffee shop, Royal Brompton. The display is a collaboration between artists, Anne Thompson and Kate Hughes, who both have cystic fibrosis and are patients at the hospital.
Anne and Kate cannot meet in person due to a risk of cross-infection, but their artistic partnership has flourished since being introduced via email by rb&hArts. The resulting exhibition showcases their individual works, as well as a distinctive joint piece, which was developed by being sent back and forth between them through the post.
Kate explains: "It makes the hospital about something more than just my illness. I feel that I have a new friend now in Anne, which is a difficult thing to happen when you both have cystic fibrosis because of the cross-infection risk. Living with the condition is often about the techniques we use to treat it and how we perceive it. I think that other people with cystic fibrosis will immediately recognise this and feel that someone else knows and shares some of what they are going through."
The exhibition will be in Sydney Street coffee shop until Saturday 3rd May.
Prior to reading at the Charity's Christmas Carol Concert on the evening of 19th December, actor Jamie Campbell Bower was kind enough to visit seriously sick patients on two of Royal Brompton Hospital's wards.
Jamie was given a tour of the hospital by the Charity and met several patients on Foulis (cystic fibrosis) Ward and Rose (children's) Ward, chatting in-depth about football, his film career and just about anything the patients wanted to talk about!
Jamie was also very keen to express his support for the Charity and the amazing work of our two hospitals through the video below:
Many thanks to Jamie for taking the time out of his busy schedule to visit us.

For the last year, Natasha Alkaff has been fundraising for our Charity in thanks for the lifesaving triple bypass and heart valve replacement carried out on her father by Harefield Hospital in September 2012.
Now, as an extra gift to the Charity she has decided to auction off ONE ticket to hear Sir Alex Ferguson, arguably the greatest football manager of all time, in conversation with lifelong United fan, Eamonn Holmes.
The 'Audience with Sir Alex Ferguson' event takes place at the Royal Festival Hall on Friday 1st November 2013, 7.30pm and includes a signed copy of his new autobiography.
Tickets to this event sold out very quickly, so this is the last chance for any committed United fan to see the great man in conversation this year.
NOTE: 100% of the final auction price will be donated to Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity, so bid generously!
To bid for the ticket, visit the eBay listing.
More details about the event can be found on the Southbank Centre website.
Royal Brompton Hospital has just purchased a Hoverjack Patient Lifting Device, thanks to funds donated through the Charity's Patient Amenities Fund.
The new device, which was first used in the Hospital at the beginning of October, means that patients can be lifted safely and comfortably from floor level and transferred with minimal stress and pain to a hospital bed. It also reduces potential staff injury from manual lifting.
A video produced by the manufacturers shows just how versatile the new equipment is and the full range of benefits it will have for patients and nursing staff.

Katy Perry | Grammys 2013 Red Carpet Dress
Grammy Awards: Katy Perry
Katy Perry took the Grammys red carpet by storm tonight in a dazzling seafoam green Gucci gown. The singer, who was reportedly inspired by Priscilla Presley for her look, arrived with good friend Allison Williams before joining her boyfriend, John Mayer, in the audience. Katy's look is not only supersexy, but it's also a mature, sophisticated departure from the star's signature flirty hemlines and candy-colored hairstyles — she played down the revealing cutout and embellished neckline of her dress with sleek, jet-black hair and dark eyeliner. Are you a fan of Katy's look tonight?

LO started fake crawling about 4 weeks ago (getting up on her hands and knees and then throwing herself forward, repeatedly) but today she has started this weird fast commando scoot and chases one of my dogs around the house... if your babies have started crawling, what do they do? How do you keep track of them?? I really feel like a horrible mother when I look away for two seconds and she's gotten across the room and found a magazine to eat.
My crawling baby... and your crawling baby??

my lil one started crawling a month ago at first it was putting her knees under and lunging forward with her head on the ground, now she ia using her knees and hands to pull herself forward more of what crawling actually looks like.
She gets up on hands and knees and lunges forward.
Or she army crawls.
Or she rolls.
She does basically every form movement possible at this age without actually crawling.

Evie crawls backwards! She gets on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth, then when she tries to crawl her legs slip out from under her because she isn't moving her hands and she slides back an inch or two. She can move backward across the floor like this. She also climbs down from my lap to the floor when I'm sitting on the couch with her.

Well I went ahead and flashed my Samsung 616t with the 605b firmware. I hooked it up using the pc dvd drive method, and it worked!
It can read all media including ORIGINAL GAMES! I have not heard of anyone else accomplishing this, although I am not saying I am the first. If you have, post in here and let me know how it went.
However, I am not going to leave it like this, as it is a pain in the ass to eject it, and then force it to go back in, and then reboot the xbox everytime I want to play a game. So, what have you all experienced with this?

In an age when France has consolidated its position as the leading European destination for Englishspeaking holiday-makers, tourists and second-home-owners, retained its prestige as the international capital of gastronomy, wine production, chic and sex appeal, and bred film directors to rival Hollywood and singer-songwriters without equal on the world stage, it has also become an object of profound suspicion for many non-French commentators on the intellectual life. French ideas are produced in a faddish and fashion-conscious climate, we are often told, prominent philosophers and social theorists are treated with absurd veneration and their obscure, portentous, jargon-infested diction threatens to run riot through the human sciences, undermining otherwise secure British and North American bastions of clarity, good sense and methodological rectitude. It could of course be that the prevailing enthusiasm for France as a source of pleasure is closely linked to this distrust of French ideas: while volupté and jouissance belong quite properly in the restaurant, the bedroom or the cinema, they have no place in the library or the lecture theatre. Could it be that French intellectuals enjoy themselves too much and too openly in the eyes of their Anglophone detractors, and that their writings are therefore easily seen by such critics as an attempt to seduce and corrupt our impressionable young? In order to begin answering questions of this kind we clearly need a new kind of reference work-one which talks about wine and psychoanalysis, movie-makers and maîtres-à-penser, Piaf and Piaget.
The entire field of contemporary French culture is alive with myths and counter-myths about France and Frenchness. While some of these are produced at home and then exported, others originate abroad-in British tabloid newspapers, say, or on North American campuses-and are then imported into France. So much that is fascinating about contemporary France is transmitted by gossip, hearsay and the insider talk of various professional groups that it has until now been difficult for the would-be demythologizer to lay down a firm factual foundation for his or her enquiry. Things are even more problematic for the newcomer. Basic documents are often surprisingly difficult to find, and divisions between 'high' and 'popular' culture, or between the hexagon and the wider world of francophonie, have often meant that students and general readers have had to visit far-flung sections of their local reference library in order to begin assembling a comprehensive picture of France today. What Keith Reader, Alex Hughes and their team of contributors have produced in this splendid new Encyclopedia is a huge multi-dimensional snapshot of a culture that has reinvented itself with dizzying rapidity in the last half-century and shows no sign of slowing down. The range of their book is astonishing. With a single movement, the reader is able to travel from the world of screen goddesses (Aimée, Bardot, Deneuve) to the world of jet-setting intellectual demiurges (Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Derrida), from Elle to Eluard, from nuclear power to pornography, from agriculture to athletics, from the structure of Pierre Reverdy's verse to the labyrinthine and recursive structures of the new European legislation. All those who study modern French and Francophone cultures will be in debt to Hughes and Reader. Dangerous and delectable France has been mapped as never before between the covers of this cornucopian volume.

The only war that matters is the war against imagination. All other wars are subsumed.
—Diane Di Prima, from "Rant, " in Pieces of a Song
Psychotherapy is a work of the practitioner's imagination. The imagination is what shapes and gives meaning to our experiences. Psychotherapy is a countercultural process. It is a process that is defined by whoever is looking at and thinking about it. It pays attention to enriching the human spirit—the only war that matters (Auerswald, 1995). It balances the complexities of freedom and responsibility, helps negotiate the dialectic of individuation and belonging. Psychotherapy depends upon creative emotional investment by the therapeutic practitioner. Much of what society does to "protect" "consumers" interferes with fundamental therapeutic processes. Psychotherapy, by disrupting the patient's relation to the culture, adds alertness and enriches relationships. It has an obvious relation to morality, insisting upon our taking responsibility for what we do. But it is further informed by a sense of beauty, which manifests in our own organization and relations, our own completeness and growth. Psychotherapy is a process of constant learning and innovation by practitioners, as is demonstrated in the following articles. They describe experiences and methods. ways of looking at therapy, that deepen our awareness of what therapy can do. Psychotherapy is not a scientific enterprise but has much in common with performance art—like music or theater.
We are presenting this diverse series of papers in the interest of stimulating your thinking about family psychotherapy. The processes outlined in other sections of the book emphasize that psychotherapy has been diluted by standardization of practice methods and the bureaucratization of mental health care. Psychotherapists are dumbed down by the promotion of drugs, the simplistic thinking of managed care, by what Pakman refers to as "globalization" of mental health practices. The most prevalent form of psychotherapy usually represents a pattern of guided social adaptation and

The Thrill Is Gone? 'The Voice' Top 12 Revealed — With One Big Omission
Someone is missing here... [photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images]
"The Voice" Season 6 Playoffs wrapped Tuesday night with semifinals performances by Team Usher — meaning that now, finally, we have our top 12 headed to the Live Playoffs that begin next week.
It's a bit of a bummer, after so many weeks of Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, more Battle Rounds, and non-live Playoffs, that the live shows will only go on for five weeks — with double eliminations every week between now and the finale. But you know what else is a bummer? When Usher made his decision this Tuesday as to which three contestants to send to those live shows, he made one glaring omission.
[Related: Season 2's Jamar Rogers Dishes About the Season 6 Playoffs]
Sure, this was a tough call; with really no weak links on Usher's team, it was inevitable that he'd be sending home two great vocalists, even if he drew their names out of his raccoon hat. But maybe he should have pulled names out of a hat. Because then, maybe, Stevie Jo would have stayed.
Sorry for the spoiler only three paragraphs in. But yes, Stevie sang B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" this Tuesday, and the song turned out to be prophetic…because now, well, he is gone. Gone too soon. And that's a shame. While Stevie wasn't the overall best singer among Usher's five semifinalists (that would be — here's another spoiler alert — Josh Kaufman), he was definitely the most interesting.
And that's my biggest beef with this "Voice" season: the lack of, for lack of a better word, "interestingness." Season 2 had Jamar Rogers, who mixed alternative rock and R&B in an inventive way, and Juliet Simms, a Warped Tour punk/glam goddess who once performed wearing angel wings. Season 3 offered an abundance of interesting-contestant riches: ethereal girl Melanie Martinez, Britrocker Terry McDermott, cool cat Nicholas David, "bam bam" showman Cody Belew, and another rock 'n' soul powerhouse, Amanda Brown. Season 4 starred the ultimate quirky girl, Michelle Chamuel, who went all the way to the finale. And last season had beardy folkster Cole Vosbury, nerdy theatrical rocker James Wolpert, flamboyant glitter girl Kat Robichaud, et al.
Where are the contestants like that in Season 6? I wouldn't say the thrill is totally gone this season — there's still plenty of great singing to be enjoyed — but with the exception of a couple of possible freak-flag-fliers (Kristen Merlin, Delvin Choice), the quirk and element of surprise seem to be gone, for sure.
Read on for a full recap of Team Usher's performances, as well as an assessment of where all four teams' contestants, interesting or not, stand.
T.J. Wilkins – T.J. can certainly sang, but since he's such a young guy, it's bizarre to me how old-fashioned he comes across. There's a difference between being retro in a cool way (examples: Ryan Shaw, Van Hunt, Pharrell's "Happy") and retro in a cabaret way, and T.J. unfortunately falls into the latter category. T.J. certainly didn't youth it up for his performance of Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good." His vocal was on point (which is commendable, considering how difficult Chaka songs are to sing), but this didn't sound like something fans would hurry to download on iTunes. I'm still trying to figure out T.J.'s place, not just on this show, but in the actual pop market. But maybe the coaches have that all figured out. Shakira liked how "soulful and committed" T.J. was. Adam Levine called T.J. a "breath of fresh air." Blake Shelton, who hadn't agreed with Usher's decision to keep T.J. over Biff Gore in the Battle Rounds, said, "I'm on board now." And Usher told T.J., "You reminded us of the careless, free nature of that time [in the '70s]." I guess Usher thought T.J. was retro in a cool way.

With retirement, the process normally followed is to take current expenses and inflate them by a given rate (often the prevailing wholesale or consumer price index inflation rates). This helps you arrive at how much you will spend when you're retired.
Co-Founder & CEO, Bigdecisions.com
Expertise : Insurance ,Property
Manish Shah
One of the core tenets of planning for a particular goal is to take its current cost, inflate it at a given rate of inflation to arrive at its cost at that particular time. This is typical of planning for goals like your children's education or wedding expenses. So, for e.g. if the course fee at the Indian Institutes of Management is roughly Rs 15 lakh today at an 8% inflation rate, you'd need to have about Rs 48 lakh, 15 years from now.
With retirement, the process normally followed is to take current expenses and inflate them by a given rate (often the prevailing wholesale or consumer price index inflation rates). This helps you arrive at how much you will spend when you're retired. So, for example, if you spend Rs 1 lakh per month today you will need almost Rs 7 lakh a month if your expenses inflate at 8% a year for the next 25 years.
The most basic difference in planning for diverse goals is that retirement is the one goal/ end use for which no bank will lend you money (unless you take out a reverse mortgage).
The other important difference between planning for goals like retirement and those that are almost entirely external to you like education (you cannot influence costs at premier institutions) is that there's no choice but to expect them to inflate year after year. However, with retirement, most expenses are much more in your control. That is, you might choose to change your consumption pattern so as to manage within lower expenses. Let's take the earlier example a little further:
In one detailed scenario (arrived at by looking at 20 years expense and consumption data for a particular household), we found, that 'effective inflation' which is a mix between inflation and consumption pattern changes is likely to be closer to4% rather than 8%. So, in our current example, the resulting expected expenses reduces from Rs 6.85 lakh per month to about Rs 2.5 lakh a month. The corpus that needs to be built over 25 years changes from over Rs 10 crore to about Rs 6.5 crore.
So, don't be intimidated by what simplistic models or some financial planners tell you. Get started on planning for your key goals like retirement – delay is probably the biggest cause for people not saving enough.

Hollis Thomases | December 29, 2009 | Comments
A new ad-tracking tool makes it easier to quantify the value of an ad when someone shares it with friends.
Most media planners and buyers intuitively know that the ad placements they plan and purchase for their advertisers have a ripple effect. A user who may click on an ad ends up passing along the link to the destination page to other users who've never viewed the ad. This sharing of links generates an X factor of pass-along value to the advertiser that -- to this point -- really hasn't been easy to quantify. Now a new company, Meteor Solutions, has developed a technology platform that allows media teams to connect the performance of paid media with the "organic lift" that occurs by word-of-mouth.
How Meteor Works
Meteor Solution's Tracker technology initially works like many ad-tracking solutions: some lines of JavaScript must be inserted on the campaign's destination page and other script must be inserted on the conversion confirmation page. When a user clicks on an ad and arrives at the destination page, via a cookie, she's assigned a unique ID. That ID is also appended to the destination URL. If that user bookmarks that URL or shares it with friends by e-mailing it, copying and pasting it, blogging about it, tagging it, or posting it in a social community, visits to the appended URL will be tracked by Meteor. URL shorteners, commonly now used by Twitterers, and other tracking scripts like Web analytics or ad tracking solutions, do not impose upon Meteor's tracking.
Because of the cookie, Meteor can identify that a visitor to the appended URL is not the original visitor. This second visitor is cookied and assigned another new unique ID and appended URL -- and so on and so on for each new visitor to the site.
Conversion actions generated by these shared URLs are also tracked. Meteor then generates "sharing graphs" from these visits and conversions in a dashboard.
Meteor Tracker can help shed light on some of the unaccountable "no referrer" source in Web analytics that typically dominates all sources. Meteor has found that approximately 20 percent of inbound no referrer traffic actually comes from shared links.
Implications for Media Planners
Agencies can utilize Meteor Tracker in a number of ways:
In a time when advertisers want to see their ad dollars being put to the most effective use, Meteor's solution can help give media planners an edge.

"This evening at in Los Angeles, two of the biggest names in games--Microsoft and Electronic Arts--announced a new partnership that will fundamentally alter online console gaming."
Here are just some of the games planned for Xbox live. Since I'm not a big sports game player (with the exception of hockey), I'm really looking forward to GoldenEye and the Battlefield title.

The Velux 5 Oceans today launched its sustainability agenda under the banner of ''Taking On The Elements'. The concept brings together all the key stakeholders in the race under the umbrella of the shared value of sustainability, providing a basis of understanding and a platform for activities and communications in 2010 and 2011.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Saga Insurance, on leg 2 of the VELUX 5 Oceans from Fremantle, Western Australia
'Taking On The Elements' defines the vision, strategy and tactics under which Clipper Ventures as race organiser, Velux as title sponsor, La Rochelle as start/finish port, the other host ports around the world and all future race partners and suppliers can embrace a message of sustainability through the platform of The Ultimate Solo Challenge.
At a race reception at the Nautic Boat Show in Paris, Chairman of Clipper Ventures Sir Robin Knox-Johnston was joined the Mayor of La Rochelle Maxime Bono and President of Velux France, Michel Langrand. The three main players in the Velux 5 Oceans 2010-11 all outlined their commitment to 'Taking On The Elements' and promoting sustainability across the world.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston stated, "The climate is changing for the worse. Climate change is man-made and is a serious challenge for society – it is our responsibility as humans to reverse this trend. Because we care about the environment of the race, we need to handle it with care, for the benefit of the world and mankind. As a major global sporting event, the Velux 5 Oceans is committed to contributing to the fight against climate change. 'Taking On The Elements' is a concept designed to link the race to its environment and the challenges the world on sustainable development. The ocean, sun and wind are our shared universe, and protecting them our common objective."
"The Velux 5 Oceans through the race organisation as well as the skippers, partners, stakeholders and followers, strongly supports sustainable development. Together we will take the message of sustainability across five oceans by informing, inspiring and interacting with a global audience. By our actions and approach, the Velux 5 Oceans will demonstrate how it is possible to work against climate change at various levels. We do not claim to be carbon neutral, but believe that any size of contribution counts as fighting climate change."
Michel Langrand, President of Velux France, added, "In the Velux Group we are very committed to creating solutions for sustainable living. Our vision for future buildings is that they must have a good indoor climate, they need to be energy-efficient and they must utilise sustainable energy sources. With our products and knowledge we have something to offer in all three areas."
At the race start in La Rochelle The Velux Group will showcase a zero energy concept house and announce and celebrate the winners of the International Velux Award 2010 for students of architecture at an award event. Besides helping others reducing their impact on the climate The Velux Group have set a goal of cutting its own CO2 emission by 50% in 2020.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, concluded, "Clipper Ventures has equally committed to 'Taking On The Elements' through the creation of the new Eco 60 Class which recycles existing boats and through its associated rules which insist on renewable onboard energy and actively rewards skippers who promote sustainability. At the same time, we will seek to change our mindset through a Race Responsibility Charter which outlines how we are as a race organisation will act and operate."
"I hope that all the skippers will embrace 'Taking On The Elements' and that this umbrella will welcome further race partners who want to take advantage of the race platform to promote sustainability to a global audience in a meaningful way."
Two of the confirmed entries in the Eco 60 Class, Derek Hatfield of Canada and Brad van Liew of USA, have embraced the sustainability opportunities of the exciting new Eco 60 Class:
Derek Hatfield (CAN): "We will be competing in the Eco 60 Class as it embodies our core values with regard to the environment and education. The aim is to consume zero fossil fuels as we race around the world. We will be able to attain this by utilizing wind, solar and hydrogen fuel cell technology. The overall budget is relatively small and would be attractive to a company that can use this platform to increase their brand exposure while aligning themselves with a sustainability message. We are currently seeking partners that have these similar goals."
Brad van Liew ( USA) : "The Eco 60 Rules are only a starting point. Our true goal is to race around the world without using a drop of diesel fuel, proving that modern solo racing no longer requires it. The class requires the use of existing race boats, recycled to compete in what will be a hugely competitive event."
The ambition of the Velux 5 Oceans is to minimise our contribution to climate change via direct action and promoting sustainable development to a global audience via the race platform, including its skippers, partners and stakeholders
The Velux 5 Oceans accepts the United Nations' position that greenhouse gas emissions are set to lead to a marked increase in the Earth's average temperature which is predicted to have significant negative consequences on the planet's environment. Climate change from rising temperatures has already led to major impacts for the world's environment and will continue to affect the planet's oceans and atmosphere, the base environment for the Velux 5 Oceans.
The Eco 60 Class
Recycling existing boats: The Eco 60 Class avoids significant investment in both financial and material resources in constructing new boats, instead leveraging existing yachts
Power systems:
The Eco 60 Class rules state that there must be three independent power systems onboard on each yacht. One can be fossil fuel based, whilst two must be based on renewable energy and contribute at least 30% of the required power onboard
Race Responsibility Charter:
Clipper Ventures has published a Charter outlining how it will operate and act in order to try to make itself more sustainable

Creators Project in DUMBO in pics & review -- part 1 (Company Flow, John Maus, A$AP Rocky, Chairlift & more)
words & photos by BBG
Hopefully, there weren't masses that headed to DUMBO on Saturday (10/15) expecting a few Mozz-a-repa stands, a sausage & pepper cart, and a dealer selling his collection of "tobacco" pipes while looking for the live music. The Creators Project had much more to offer. It celebrated the different facets of creativity within art, music, and theater while showcasing live music alongside interactive sculpture to create a wholly different "festival" environment.
The musical portion was limited to two live stages and a third "DJ" stage which also housed a few exhibits. One live stage was located under an archway beneath the Manhattan Bridge. The other was in the "Tobacco Warehouse", a brick structure that has also hosted the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. The shows were free, though you needed to RSVP (and even then you needed a confirmation that you were accepted).
I kicked off my afternoon at the Tobacco Warehouse stage with Teen Daze whose laptop knob-twiddling didn't make for much of a live event. After a few songs I moved on to my first band of the day, Brooklyn's Chairlift. Caroline Polachek is the clear focus of the band's sound, with her vocals pushed to the front and the electronic-pop complementing her lilting voice. Their sunny and simple compositions were sugar-y, well executed and a good way to ease into the day, but not particularly memorable. The next performance would bring about an abrupt change.
John Maus
No one outcrazys John Maus. After the crew cleared the stage of seemingly every piece of gear, the very unassuming Maus came on to plug his Roland SP-404 sampler into the DI and his microphone into an echo pedal. With the hit of his sampler, Maus kicked off his set by bouncing left and right and jumping around. Veins bulged in his neck and face as he began to scream, sing, whimper and all but cry into his microphone during his vocal parts. Even if I had no interest in his recorded material (which I do, and tons of it), I would, as I'm sure any passerby would, still find the maniacal John Maus live (almost freak) show absolutely enthralling. Catch him again this week at 285 Kent.
After 3+ songs from Clams Casino on the laptop which was about as exciting as it sounds (dramatic key-stroke!), A$AP Rocky opened his set by explaining that people are saying he is the "biggest thing to hip hop since the Wu-Tang Clan". I'd like to meet these people. Regardless of how over/correctly hyped A$AP is, he and his crew (which included an appearance from Spaceghostpurrp) were particularly high energy - stage-diving, inciting mosh-pits, and hopping around on stage. The crowd didn't move with the same enthusiasm though. Despite calls for more participation, the crew didn't ignite similar energy in the crowd.
After a visit to see Four Tet (another knob-twiddling set), I cruised over to see Bradford Cox do a one-man Atlas Sound. I prefer Atlas Sound in full band mode to Bradford solo, but his set was fresh change to the mostly electronic vibe of the day. Cox's voice coupled with the Bridge backdrop and the Manhattan skyline was particularly impressive.
Company Flow
Up next was Company Flow, my main motivation for being there since I missed their recent reunion shows at ATP and Santos Party House.
It had been around 14 years since I saw Company Flow on tour with Organized Konfusion, the former celebrating their seminal Funcrusher Plus and the latter promoting what may be their final effort, The Equinox. That summer in 1997, Co-Flow sounded so alien to everything else in the era; primitive, noisy beats made with crude synths and harsh scratches were complemented by abstract and double-time rhymes. Lead by a white redhead-ed MC (a rarity in the era), Company Flow was truly unique in their time.
Company Flow were massive to me in that certain, early-backpacker Rawkus era, the blast-off point for El-P's noisy and dystopian blueprint at Definitive Jux. So it pains me to say that the primitive Company Flow sound hasn't aged so well live; El-P still has a good stage presence as always, but unfortunately the rawness of the tracks just now come across as simplistic in comparison to his sleeker production. It was good to see the crew though, and with Pharoahe Monch in tow, much like that night in DC in 1997.
After Co-Flow, I caught a bit of Florence & The Machine before calling it an evening meaning I also missed the abbreviated Justice DJ set. Though cops shut down Jusice early and a vocal minority of DUMBO residents complained about the takeover of their neighborhood streets, the complaints were minor leagues compared to the impressive spectacle that descended on art galleries, parks, storefronts, and even an archway underneath the Manhattan Bridge.
We're splitting this into multiple parts, so stay tuned for the rest. Meanwhile, more pictures of everything I saw, below...

Creators Project announces 2 day DUMBO fest (Florence & the Machine, Atlas Sound, Company Flow, Four Tet, John Maus, more)
The Creators Project will return to New York from October 15 - October 16 by transforming the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn into a colossal two-day arts and technology festival.Except for Karen O at St Ann's, it's all free with RSVP.
After spending the year traveling the world, VICE and Intel's The Creators Project lands back in New York with a marquee lineup of live performances and original Studio works by groundbreaking artists, musicians, designers and filmmakers.
This year's festival will take to the streets of DUMBO, Brooklyn, erecting 30-foot sculptures, showcasing works from over thirty leading international artists, and featuring dozens of live music performances. The event will also include the world premiere of Karen O's psycho-opera, Stop The Virgens, along with film screenings and panels.
Original artworks include Life on Mars Revisited, an immersive short film of David Bowie's classic space-rock anthem from legendary music photographer Mick Rock and filmmaker Barney Clay; 'A Physical Manifestation of Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space,' a cathedral-like physical manifestation of the song created by Spiritualized's J. Spaceman and acclaimed film director Jonathan Glazer; and Origin, a striking thirty by thirty foot audiovisual installation by UVA and composer Scanner, which will be the largest responsive work ever created by the UK based artists.
The festival runs:
Saturday 12-10pm
Sunday 12-8pm

If you were there, how long did you wait to get inside to see Radiohead play their first of two shows at Roseland Ballroom in NYC last night? I arrived at 8:00 and made it in around 9:00. The line for will call check in (all tickets were will call) wrapped around the entire square block. The end of the line was all the way back at the venue, and had apparently been that way since doors opened. If you didn't have a ticket in advance, did you manage to get in? Lots of people were walking up and down the line with signs explaining why they deserved to get your extra if you had one.
Four Tet was on when I finally got through the doors, but without a good spot, and with all the loud crowd noise, it was hard to focus on the opener. Roseland was packed. Radiohead, complete with 2nd bald drummer, took the stage a bit after 10 and played till after midnight. The concert itself was as special as (any Radiohead fan) expected, but my highlight was definitely the second of two encores which did not seem planned. Nobody in the giant venue (relatively speaking) was ready for the band to leave after they finished with "Morning Mr. Magpie" from the new "King of Limbs" album. The club toyed with turning the house lights back on, house music came on, and the crew even seemed to be breaking down. It could have been an act to make an encore seem real for once. Regardless, it worked and the boys returned to the stage, now all dressed down and in black, to the loudest cheers yet. And this time they closed the night off right, with the one-two punch that was "Street Spirit" and "Nude."
Earlier in the set they played a bit of "The One I Love" which was a nice little tribute to the recently-departed R.E.M. The full setlist is below.
Though I can hardly understand Thom when he speaks, he seemed in a good mood. He asked if we saw the movie "Inside Job" and then I think he said something about nothing being different. He mentioned it was nice to not be sitting around a TV studio, a reference to the fact that their NYC vacation so far has included appearances on both SNL and the Colbert Report. The merch included special t-shirts made just for the shows (pics below).
Radiohead do it again at Roseland tonight (9/29). More pictures, some great videos, and the setlist from last night, below...

"Alec Baldwin will be in some rockin' good company when he hosts Saturday Night Live for a record-breaking 16th time on Sept. 24. Grammy-winners Radiohead, who last stopped by Studio 8H in 2000 with host Kate Hudson, will help Baldwin kick off the 37th season of SNL as musical guests. Radiohead's latest record, The King of Limbs, was released back in February." [EW]Radiohead releases TKOL RMX 1234567, a double CD of all the commisioned remixes for The King of Limbs via tbd Records on October 11. Full tracklist below.
The remixes all come from the series of twelve-inch singles the band has been releasing since July. The next one, pictured above, is out August 15th.
More importantly.... Radiohead in NYC on Sept 24? A US release on Oct 11? Let's hope that means live shows too!

When I walked into MoMA PS1 on Saturday (7/9) for their second Warm Up of the 2011 season, Bronze were about halfway through their set. I'd never heard the group before but they won me over with their dark, psychedelic atmospheres and pummeling drum patterns, and were an interesting contrast to the dancier acts that followed. After Bronze's set, NYC DJ FaltyDL delivered a DJ set that set the mood for the rest of day's event. Though he's from New York, his beats are well-versed in UK garage and dubstep, and fit in really well with the two UK acts that came after.
The highlight of the day for me was seeing SBTRKT, whose excellent self titled debut LP dropped two weeks ago. He played a live set with guest vocalist Sampha, who contributed vocals to the album. As anticipated, both musicians came out in tiki masks. Like many dubstep producers are starting to do, SBTRKT embraces much more of a pop feel on his album, and many of the tracks are centered pretty heavily around vocals. However, unlike some of his contemporaries, his material still translates well onto the dancefloor. SBTRKT and Sampha would focus on key melodies in the songs, and then dive into extended mixes that got the crowd moving. The majority of the set consisted of the album's Sampha-fronted cuts, though they did play a chopped up version of the Little Dragon-featured "Wildfire." Drake didn't show up to rap over the track like he did in Toronto the night before, but SBTRKT did throw his verse into the mix.
Four Tet
Directly after SBTRKT and Sampha walked off stage, blown out avant-sax lines started spurting out of the PA speakers, which meant hidden behind the massive crowd of dancers, none other than Four Tet just began DJing. After the jazzy opener, Four Tet dropped one of his heavy trademark beats and went off into a killer set that sent the crowd into more of a frenzy than they'd been in all day.
Unfortunately, Matthewdavid, who I had been looking forward to seeing, had to cancel his set. SBTRKT was also scheduled to DJ an afterparty at Coco66, but the Brooklyn venue got shut down before SBTRKT could play. Four Tet did play his afterparty set at Marcy Hotel though.
More pictures and video from the whole day at PS1, below...

Descendents at FFFFest (more by Tim Griffin)
Much like last year, FYF Fest 2011 is poppin' off with some incredible bands, many of whom recently reunited. This year the LA fest will host a coveted Descendents appearance, a Death From Above 1979 show, Guided By Voices, another Kid Dynamite reunion, The Dead Milkmen, Explosions in the Sky, the return of The Weakerthans and many, many notable others. Full lineup is below. The show goes down at 1st and Main in downtown Los Angeles on September 3rd. Tickets are on sale.
Future Islands plays FYF Fest and plays Death By Audio in Brooklyn TONIGHT (6/28).
For Kid Dynamite, which features members of Lifetime, Paint it Black and None More Black, the reunion is their first since re-emerging for This is Hardcore last year with Ink & Dagger. The band called it quits in 2000 and reunited in 2005 at CBGB and some other times too. I hope they schedule another NYC show, but it's just LA for now.
This is Hardcore THIS YEAR features an appearance from Ressurection, which also featured Dan Yemin on guitar. Tickets for This is Hardcore 2011, taking place in Philly's Starlight Ballroom, is mostly sold-out, with tickets for the Sunday show still available.
The Descendents appearance at FYFest is one of several dates scheduled for the reunited band, NYC's Roseland, Chicago Riot Fest, and Philly's Riot Fest included. Tickets are still available for the 9/23 Roseland show.
Mister Heavenly will hit the road for a string of dates on the West Coast leading up to FYF Fest. Check out their full tour schedule below, and look for their new LP Out of Love on 8/16 via Sub Pop. Check out "Pineapple Girl" from that record above.
The Death From Above 1979 appearance is one of several slated for the band in the coming months, including a 7/22 appearance at Williamsburg Waterfront. Tickets are still available OR, you can try your hand by winning a pair at our Facebook. The full set of DFA1979 dates are below.
The Weakerthans have a few other dates slated for Europe and Canada in the coming months. Hopefully they add more US dates too. All dates for now are listed below.
A few bands on the FYFest lineup (namely, Cults, Off!, and No Age) will also appear in NYC at the House of Vans this summer, and for FREE. The FYF-presented House of Vans series of shows starts this Thursday (6/30). You just have to RSVP to get in (and maybe get there early).
All Weakerthans, DFA1979, and Mister Heavenly dates, some video, and the full FYF Fest lineup is below.

DOWNLOAD: Jon Hopkins - Insides (Rival Consoles RMX) (MP3)
Singer-songwriter King Creosote and producer/Eno collaborator Jon Hopkins, now labelmates with Real Estate, Ducktails & Alex Bleeker, teamed up to record the album Diamond Mine which dropped in the USA via Domino Records on May 24. They go on a short North American tour in July in support of the album. That tour hits Mercury Lounge on July 14 (tickets go on sale Friday at noon) and The Rock Shop on July 17 (tickets on sale now). All dates are listed below.
King Creosote visited the US for the first time in March. As Bill wrote at the time:
"Scottish indie folk royalty Kenny Anderson, aka King Creosote. Anderson (whose brother Gordon was a founding member of The Beta Band and now fronts The Aliens) has been cranking out album after album of melancholic, wry songwriting since the late '90s. (Seriously, check out his discography.) Many of these have been self-released, but he's had records on Warner Brothers and Domino too."Domino released his album Thrawn around that time.
Jon Hopkins also recently recorded a new track for a Japan benefit compilation, and is giving away the remix of his song "Insides" that you can download above. He returns to New York (Troy, NY) in September to perform at EMPAC with Four Tet.
King Creosote and Jon Hopkins made a video for the track "Bubble" off the new album. Check it out along with a 'making of' video and all tour dates below...

Matthewdavid playing in LA (Silent Stutter)
Matthewdavid is sharing his bass-heavy beats with NYC quite a few times this week. In addition to playing Knitting Factory this past Saturday (5/28) with The Gaslamp Killer, and the previously announced 285 Kent show this coming Saturday (6/4) with Sun Araw (who is now up at Mutek), he plays a late party at Cameo Gallery tonight (6/2) with Howse. The Brooklyn event at Cameo is being billed as a "rare live audio-visual performance" and four other DJs are also on the bill.
By 6/9 Matthewdavid will be back on his coast because he's appearing at Amoeba in LA, but it won't be long before he returns to NYC again to play a Saturday 'Warm Up' event at MoMA's PS1 on 7/9 with Four Tet. Four Tet plays Camp Bisco one day earlier. Full 'Warm Up' schedule, and more details still TBA.
Tour dates and tonight's flyer below...

Sun Araw
"Seeing Sun Araw live feels as much like a dream as reality, and high energy never came easy. It felt a bit like drowning in codeine syrup, you struggle at first, and then eventually realize it feels better to be in the syrup than out of it.LA's Sun Araw (aka Cameron Stallone) will kick of a FULL BAND tour of the East Coast on June 2nd at the Mutek Festival in Montreal, followed by a string of dates, a few in the NYC-area included. On June 3rd Stallone will DJ Coco66. The occasion is the NYC debut of Sun Araw's own LA-based party WHERES YR CHILD - "A dub/italo/dance party rooted in the traditions of cosmic LA." Sex Worker/Psychic Reality, and Todd Pendu are all also on that bill and tickets are on sale. The following day (6/4), the Sun Araw Band will play live for the first time in NYC (Sun Araw has only played solo in the past), in Brooklyn at 285 Kent with M Geddes Gengras, Matthewdavid, and D'Eon. Then after a quick trip down to Baltimore to play Ottobar, Hoboken club Maxwell's will host the band on 6/7 with M. Geddes Gengras and Deep Magic (tickets). All dates are listed below.
Cameron really pulls out the tropical nature of SoCal in his music, and almost gives you the impression of sleepwalking through a luau. This is especially strange because he originally hails from Austin, TX, which is anything but tropical.
His music feels a bit like you're searching for some sort of hidden revelation amongst some ancient ruins on a desert island, among many other conjurations your mind will develop while being sunk into the vibes." [Sub-Radar]
Sun Araw will be previewing material from a forthcoming LP entitled Ancient Romans, and the band currently has multiple releases up for sale at their webstore, including a pair of recent cassette releases Sadistic Candle and Hold The Phone. For those of you who are curious as to what Hold The Phone is like, here's a preview.
HOLD THE PHONE is mustard and ketchup on a deviled egg.Are we clear? If not, head to their store and stream samples from the cassettes and other releases.
HOLD THE PHONE is your dad whistling at a 16-year-old girl.
HOLD THE PHONE is yin all dressed up in yang clothes.
HOLD THE PHONE is Woodstock yelling at Snoopy.
HOLD THE PHONE is Cameron Stallones and Barret Avner.
HOLD THE PHONE is two boys talkin'.
Matthewdavid, who will play the 6/4 285 Kent show, is also on board to support Gaslamp Killer at Knitting Factory on 5/28 (tickets). Matthewdavid recently released a collaborative cassette with Sun Araw, which is now sold out. They also played a show together at the Smell in LA last night (5/5). LA Record helped promote it by having the two artists compile a mixtape of YouTube videos.
Annual electro festival Mutek goes down in Montreal this year from June 1-5, and features multiple notables like Amon Tobin, Four Tet, ARP, Sun Araw and dozens of others. Tickets are currently on sale. The lineup is below. We haven't been since 2009 and miss it.
And you can prepare for the fun TONIGHT (5/6) in NYC! Public Assembly will host "The Bunker: Mutek BK Preview" with performances from Akufen, Stephen Beaupre, Vincent Lemieux, Kangding Ray, Safety Scissors, and Sutekh in two rooms starting at 10PM. Tickets are still available.

It used to be where Issue Project Room was located. They moved and the outdoor Gowanus Canal space opened as the Yard, which then changed to BKLYN Yard. Always a mystery as to whether the outdoor venue will return each year, last summer it was shut down just as it was getting started. You might remember when all events were cancelled in June which was followed by the weekly daytime dance party 'Sunday Best' un-cancelling but becoming alcohol-free, and then cancelling again (and moving to Brooklyn Fireproof).
WELL, they haven't given up! Sunday Best, put on by the people behind Mister Saturday Night, have changed their party name to Mister Sunday and will return to the space this summer, though the location is now known as Gowanus Grove (identity crisis!). They write:
We've been keeping this one under our hats for a while, but the time has come to spill the beans. In just over a month, on Memorial Day Weekend, we're introducing Mister Sunday, the outdoor, Sunday afternoon spinoff of Mister Saturday Night. Clever name, we know.Stay tuned for whether there will be non-Mister Sunday events held there. Mister Sunday flyer and current lineup below...
If you ever came to Sunday Best at BKLYN Yard, you'll know the place: it's the same canal-side, tree-spotted plot of land at 400 Carroll Street between Bond and Nevins in Brooklyn, now rechristened Gowanus Grove.
If you never made it down, let us count the ways you're going to love it. First, kids and dogs - you can bring them. We love them, and we don't get to see enough of them on Saturday nights. Second, superb food - we're teaming up with Brooklyn Flea to install a small but ace team of food vendors. Right now, we've confirmed Mile End, who will be serving a bunch of stuff you can't get at the storefront in Boerum Hill, and we're soon to confirm at least one more. Third, our friends from Botanica, the best little bar in the five boroughs, are taking care of the booze.
And last, but certainly not least, is the music. The Mister Saturday Night residents, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin, the gents that pull the strings to bring it all together, will be playing records each and every Sunday through the summer on the big, blue soundsystem. There'll be guests alongside them occasionally as well. Moodymann, Todd Terje, Horse Meat Disco, Optimo and Space Dimension Controller will all take their turns, and on opening day, Four Tet will drop by.
And that's all there is to say about that. We'll see you outside.

Jamie Woon is here -- tour dates, new album, videos & Burial (who is also working with Thom Yorke & Four Tet)
by Andrew Sacher
"It's a well-worn SXSW cliche for journos to talk of British bands being "out of place" at Austin - as if they expect all UK acts to turn up suppin' rough Bourbon and unveil their new bluegrass direction for y'all.London based singer/songwriter Jamie Woon (who just played a number of shows at SXSW) is releasing his debut full length Mirrorwriting on April 11 via Candent Songs/Polydor. We first got a dose of Jamie's R&B based vocals on his 2007 EP Wayfaring Stranger. He's spent the last three years honing his sound while taking advice from and sharing production duties with dubstep mastermind Burial who Woon first teamed up with when Burial remixed "Wayfaring Stranger" from the 2007 EP.
Yet Jamie Woon does seem an odd fit in more ways than one. His slightly awkward stage presence doesn't quite sit with his calling to croon directly to the three girls who've forced their way to the front row to dance. And his clean-cut image rests uneasily with the fact he's got a pen sticking out of his pocket (sorry to start laying down the law on this, but I'm not having my pop stars adorned with biros).
Woon has taken his vocal stylings from Stevie Wonder and comes equipped with the precision-drilled, soul-funk backing band to match this - the vague traces of dubstep and electronica that glide over his records are almost undetectable here, save for the odd swipe of Woon's fingers across some tiny FX boxes." [Guardian]
Jamie Woon has scheduled a UK tour in May and June, but before he leaves North America, he'll play three more dates here including March 22 at Glasslands with FaltyDL, Mux Mool, & Magic Mountain (Tickets) and March 24 at Le Poisson Rouge with Mount Kimbie, Com Truise, and Muramic (Tickets).
Jamie Woon is not the only person Burial has been collaborating with recently. He is also preparing a 12" single with Thom Yorke and Four Tet. The single, featuring the tracks "Ego" and "MIrror" is set to be released on Four Tet's label, Text. Both tracks debuted March 15 on the London radio station Rinse FM. Radio rips of the tracks can be streamed below.
All dates, videos, and Mirrorwriting tracklisting below...

As previously mentioned, Battles have been in the studio working on their follow-up to 2007's Mirrored. The new album, titled Gloss Drop, is set to be released June 7 on Warp and features an array of guests including Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead, Gary Numan, Yamantaka Eye of Boredoms, and Matias Aguayo. Perhaps they'll help fill the void caused by the departure of guitarist/vocalist Tyondai Braxton. You can preorder the album here. Battles have also announced an international tour in support of the album including April 27 at Le Poisson Rouge. All dates are listed below.
Although Tyondai Braxton will not be performing with them, as mentioned, he will be performing dates with the Wordless Music Orchestra including one at NYC's Alice Tully Hall this Monday, March 7th.
