12 Most Festive Chanukah Favorites
The decorations, the Holiday foods, the presents…wait a minute, what holiday are we talking about? Oh, right, Chanukah! Because of the aspirations of some modern era Jews wanting to fit in and be contemporary, Chanukah now must compete with the excesses of Christmas marketing. The stories of these two holidays are very different, but the traditions and celebrations are remarkably familiar with various twists. Some people I know even have a Chanukah Bush, replete with blue and white decorations. As an aside, Chanukah is actually a lesser holiday, celebrating the Jews' victory over an evil Assyrian King who oppressed the Jews and defiled their Temple. The holiday celebrates the miracle of the oil used to light the menorah (candelabra) in the temple which should have lasted only 1 day, but ended up burning for 8 days. I love this holiday for a variety of reasons, 12 of them to be exact.
1. Latkes, or potato pancakes
This is an excuse to deep fry grated potatoes in oil and dunk them in applesauce or sour cream all in the name of the miracle of the oil. For real authenticity, use a food processor and for added fortitude, grate a little by hand. Here's a latke recipe for these tasty delectables.
2. Cool Menorahs
When my kids were young, they all had their own menorah, (an 8-branched candelabra, with a 9th branch for the "helper" candle) and would light a candle, adding one each night for each of the 8 days. None was more favored than the Noah's Ark menorah, each kid fighting to light the bunny.
3. Minimilist decorations
Each year I drag out the window clings and hanging decorations, flimsy, and worn, but filled with benign sentiment. One of my hanging decorations has an "H" missing, so it reads "appy Hannukah"!
4. Presents – 8 of them!
It used to be one present for each day, and they were not very extravagant, especially if you multiply by several kids. Gifts ranged from yo-yo's to books, video games and clothing. The kids eventually grew bored with these practical gifts and would also rush through dinner just to receive them. This grew old quickly. The new tradition of one big gift given was started after one too many, "Mom, socks again?"
5. Eight days instead of one
Makes it easy to see the family, especially if it's a large one or separated by distance. If you don't catch them on day 1, you have another 7 to see your relatives. You can relegate the last few days to your least favorites! (I won't tell) Besides, how much more festive do you feel if you know you have an 8 day holiday. Party time!
6. Chanukah Gelt
Growing up, my Dad used to give me Gelt, or coins, every night. With my kids, real coins have been replaced by chocolate wrapped gold coins. My favorite: dark chocolate ones!
7. Chanukah Lights (sorta)
Since, Chanukah is the Festival of Lights, let there be light! I admit, I have what I can only call "Christmas lights envy." They are beautiful, festive and also serve to light up streets, unlit by streetlamps. We place an orange or blue bulbed electric menorah in the window to advertise our holiday with some form of paltry light.
8. More fried food
Those of Israeli descent indulge in sufganiyot, or fried doughnuts, filled with jelly. Again, in commemoration of the miracle of the oil, you can eat fried foods without gaining any weight. Yes, I just made that up.
9. Dreidel game
The dreidel is a spinning top, and depending on what hebrew letter it lands on, leads to losing or gaining money, poker chips or chocolate gelt, depending on how old you are. My Dad used to use walnuts or peanuts in their shells. Our family plays for pennies, so the stakes are low. We have collected a sizable collection of wooden and plastic dreidels in various sizes and colors and usually end up having dreidel spin and knock-down contests.
10. Maccabees
The Jewish rebel army who fought for religious freedom and reclaimed the holy Temple were cool, fighting heroes, bearing swords. Their battles were re-enacted by my sons when they were young because it would be an excuse for them to use make believe swords, i.e. forks, rulers or sticks, anything with the capacity to strike blows.
11. Creative spelling
This is the only holiday I know of that does away with the convention of correct spelling. This holiday literally means, "dedication". You can spell it as : Chanukah, Hanukkah, Chanukkah or Hanukah. They're all correct..gold coins for everyone!
12. Unique Chanukah songs
I can't say I own any Chanukah song albums or DVD's but I do have one cassette tape of ditties like: " I had a little dreidel" and "Oh Chanukah Oh Chanukah" My recent favorite is Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song.
However you celebrate, it's still an excuse for carrying on tradition, family get-togethers and eating high-caloric, delicious foods.
What are your favorite things or questions about Chanukah?
Dear Lily, I absolutely loved your post. There are many beautiful things in Jewish tradition and celebrations that I think a lot of people miss out on experiencing or knowing. Thank you for sharing your stories in this fun 12 most! @DixieLil
Of course, I love Sandler's song ;). Here is an anecdote for you. We were at a Christmas party hosted by Christian Jews, and they did the white elephant gift. One of them was a menorah. My wife was close friends with the hostess. At the last minute she swapped for the menorah from an older jewish lady (because she secretly wanted to give it to the hostess). The lady was not happy, and my wife always felt guilty (with a little bit of a smile) for stealing a menorah from a jewish lady.
I never understood why this was not a major holiday: with the Jews' victory over an evil Assyrian King who oppressed the Jews and defiled their Temple, and the oil lasted 8 days. These seem like major accomplishments to me
Also, you are right with #4. It is difficult to fill up eight days of presents. Last year we gave our two kids electric toothbrushes. The teacher asked what my youngest got for Hanukkah and he told the teacher that he got a toothbrush, he did not mention the other big gifts.
I love creative spelling of chanukkah...and you gotta love window clings...can't someone help us out and create something a bit nicer...Happy Hanukkah to everyone!!
I have a parenting suggestion for #4 - the gift of 8 presents. Teach your children to give ONE to charity and ONE to Mom and ONE to Dad. If there are siblings, ONE day should be giving to one another. That still leaves FOUR for them!
We have a large jar of dried lima beans to use as chips for the dreidel game. The beans are about 23 years old, dating from the time I decided I was no good at preparing dried beans. That's also the time I learned to make my own sufganiyot. Happy memories! Thanks for reminding me.
Interesting post, Lily! I especially love #8. What celebration doesn't call for some good old fashioned, heart-stopping fried food?
I love this post! I still remember enjoying learning of latkes and olive oil and the Maccabees, which as a non-Jewish girl I fell in love with. Mainly because of the fun of running as fast as we could and shouting, "MACCABEES!" for hours! Thanks for a great memory, even if I didn't share in yours growing up. :D
I love this post, especially #1, My daughter makes the best potato pancakes. Our family is a blended one, my husband has Jewish heritage, and mine Irish Catholic. (probably why we love Latkes so much!) We blend the traditions and even decorate our Christmas Tree exclusively in blue and silvery white glass bulbs!
PS, I too migrated from Brooklyn to Long Island, now am just outside DC.
Cheers & Happy Chanukah to you and your family!
Lily, this post is great! My personal favorite is #1 We love potato pancakes! My daughter makes the best! My husband's family has Jewish heritage, and mine Catholic. We blend the two, celebrate each and every holiday. For example our Christmas Tree is decorated only with Blue & Silvery White glass bulbs.
Focusing on the meaning of the day, and not the commercialism surrounding it makes it special!
PS, I too migrated from Brooklyn to Long Island.. now just outside DC.
I remember the first time I heard the Adam Sandler Hanukkah song, and I thought "yay! one for my people!" This list does indeed include just about everything good about Hanukkah, but my absolute favorite is number 1 - there's nothing like latkes, though they are a real pain to make! Happy holidays.
@Milaspage You're welcome, Mila! Glad to have the opportunity to share my traditions with those unfamiliar with them. Happy Holidays!
@dbvickery Funny story. Don't worry, I'm sure the jewish lady had many more at home. I have four!
@spofcher You are right, it is a big deal. You know the old joke about Jewish holidays with their singular themes: "They tried to kill us...we won...let's eat!" I'm sure the teacher gave your child the sympathy he was looking for after mentioning he only got an electric toothbrush! : )
@brucesallan Bruce, you always have beautiful thoughts, thank you for sharing your kind heart with us always.
@BruceSallan I love that idea! Will be sending this suggestion to my kids. And I will mention that Mom wants a day at the Spa! : )
@CatherineBuckMorgan 23 years old - that is impressive! I would not suggest using them for soup at this time! : ) Homemade sufganiyot..what a treat!
@douglaserice Thanks. I generally insert the IV on the first night and leave it in for the rest of the days! : )
@Almost60Really You're welcome! My kids would run around for hours also, only they would have play swords, which is infinitely more dangerous! : )
@WineEveryday Nice to hear from Brooklyn folk! Your tree sounds beautiful and latkes are delicious no matter what ethnic background! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
@sharongreenthal Love the Adam Sandler song too
@sharongreenthal Yes, they are a pain, especially when you use the hand grater, but worth it! The knuckle blood adds a little authenticity! : )
Love you Mila and Love Jeff unless he doesn't approve me to speak at the next #140conf...lol! @Milaspage@jeffpulver
Lily, loved this post (of course!) and so glad that we're getting some nice Chanukah coverage :-). Just have to piggyback Bruce's comment: Last year, my younger son (now 3 1/2) had a serious tantrum when he realized he couldn't open all the presents at once. It took him a few days to catch on that he was getting something every night, and once he figured it out... well, let's just say the remaining nights weren't pretty. I second the spa, Lily! @DixieLil @BruceSallan
@DixieLil@CatherineBuckMorgan They've been handled by several generations of sticky hands, so no, not destined for the pot! :D
@DixieLil knuckle blood - LOL! That's why I use a food processor!
@chattyprof@BruceSallan Oh, you have a few more years..I'd say around 10, 11 years of age, things changed.
Ooh... What age will that be happening? How many more years do I have? My older one is 8 :-). @DixieLil @BruceSallan
@chattyprof@BruceSallan As the kids got older, we veered away from nightly presents. Unfortunately, as they got older, the 1 major present, usually technology related, got more expensive!
@sharongreenthal@DixieLil I wondered why my wife's latkes have a red tinge.
@sharongreenthal@DixieLil Darn it! Now I feel guilty that after ten years I STILL haven't figgered out the ole food processor! ;) (Winking, yes. But also true!)

more Kurt Cobain solo album details & "Sappy" demo emerge +++ Krist Novoselic playing on R.E.M.'s Peter Buck's new LP
More details have arisen on the Kurt Cobain solo album that Montage of Heck director Brett Morgen is putting together from the recordings he unearthed while making the documentary. The long-awaited collection of tracks, titled Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings, will be out on November 13 on CD/cassette/digital via Universal. That's the artwork above, and there is reported to be a 13-track standard edition and a 31-track deluxe edition.
The vinyl release comes out December 4, and an additional single comes out that day too. The single has Kurt's cover of The Beatles' "And I Love Her" which leaked earlier this year but has since been deleted. It also includes a rough early demo of "Sappy" (sometimes referred to as "Verse Chorus Verse" but not the only Nirvana song to be given that title). The upbeat full-band version of this song is very readily available, but this solo recording is a lot slower and more somber than that. Listen below.
Meanwhile, Kurt's former bandmate Krist Novoselic is contributing to R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's new album, Warzone Earth (due 10/16 via Little Axe Records). Other guests include Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and Peter's Super-Earth bandmates Scott McCaughey, Bill Rieflin, and Kurt Bloch. Peter shared this about the album:
I've just had an exciting couple of weeks working with Tucker Martine on the new record by The Jayhawks which is a stunning tour de force. I think it will blow a lot of minds. I spent yesterday with my good friend Mike, who came to town to add some Millsian glamour to the proceedings. And I am pleased to announce this morning my new magnum opus Warzone Earth is now available. The record features two alternate covers by the folk art legend Mingering Mike. I never thought I'd look so good in tights!The remaining third of Nirvana, Dave Grohl, has been singing with Jewel and yelling about chicken fingers or something.
All kidding aside, it's the best solo record I have made, and I'm excited for it to be out in the world. It's available through littleaxerecords.com who distributes the record. It should also be available in all the cool independent record stores in your neighborhood, once again, vinyl only, but feel free to make a cassette for your friends.
And in other news, Kurt's daughter Frances Bean Cobain is married now.
Stream the demo of "Sappy" below...

As you may know, while making the new Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck, director Brett Morgen unearthed several hours of previously-unreleased music by Kurt (like this newly-revealed Beatles cover). It turns out that enough material was unearthed that a new Kurt Cobain album will be released this summer. Brett Morgen tells Bedford + Bowery:
When we asked Brett Morgen whether there were any still-unreleased gems amidst the 200 hours of audio he combed through in order to create his new documentary, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, he gave us the most exciting answer imaginable: "We're going to be putting out an amazing album this summer that I think will answer that question." The album of home recordings, Morgen said, "will feel like you're kind of hanging out with Kurt Cobain on a hot summer day in Olympia, Washington as he fiddles about. It's going to really surprise people. Just to be clear, it's not a Nirvana album, it's just Kurt and you're going to hear him do things you never expected to come out of him."Later in the interview, Morgen was asked what exactly was on the tapes, and he responded:
The audio ran the gamut from jam sessions with Courtney, some jam sessions with various friends and Nirvana, his first demo tapes, his Fecal Matter demos, his mix tapes and oral canvases like Montage, a lot of silly spoken word stuff and not-silly spoken word stuff like the story he told of losing his virginity, covers of the Beatles songs, it just ran the gamut. And a lot of sound effects and a lot of sound design. As that would essentially serve as the basis of this movie, because I wanted to make a film in which Kurt could tell the story of his life in the best way he could -- not through sharing it to an interviewer, because that was never a format that Kurt was that expressive in, but through his art, through the very reason we're talking about him.Well this could be interesting!

For the new Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage of Heck (coming to HBO on 5/4), director Brett Morgen unearthed some previously-unreleased music by the Nirvana frontman, including a cover of The Beatles' "And I Love Her." (Kurt's a known fan of early Beatles.) It's a rawly-recorded acoustic cover, and Kurt gives it a melancholic spin that sounds more like "Something in the Way" than The Beatles' original. Listen below.

Kim Gordon's new memoir Girl In A Band comes out next week (2/24), and it's seeming like it's gonna be pretty awesome (not that we would've thought otherwise). A few excerpts have come out where Kim has less-than-nice things to say about Lana Del Rey, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, and her split with Thurston Moore. One also appeared where she had nice things to say about Kurt Cobain (whose birthday is today, happy birthday Kurt). Catch up on those excerpts below.
Today a new Billboard podcast came out where Kim reads a part from her memoir about Sonic Youth's final show, and she also debuts a new solo track, "Close Your Eyes," on the podcast. Listen to that below too (song starts at 18:29).
Kim's book tour in support of Girl In A Band hits NYC on February 23 at Greenlight Books/BAM Cinematek and February 24 at Strand. More info and all dates here.

Not only does Dave Grohl have an HBO series, but his former bandmate Kurt Cobain will now be the subject of a new documentary on HBO called Montage of Heck, coming in 2015. They're calling the film, made by filmmaker Brett Morgen (who also did a Rolling Stones documentary for HBO), the "first authorized documentary" on Kurt Cobain. Of course there are several other films on Nirvana and Kurt, but this was the first made with the cooperation of his family, and was also executive produced by his daughter Frances Bean Cobain. The name comes from a mixtape of the same name Kurt made with a cassette recorder around 1988. Here's more info via press release:
The film is a raw and visceral journey through Cobain's life and provides no-holds-barred access to Kurt Cobain's archives, home to his never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, journals, demos, personal archives, family archives and songbooks. The film features dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as previously unheard Cobain originals.No exact premiere date is set at the moment but stay tuned for more info.
"I started work on this project eight years ago," says Morgen. "Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth. However, once I stepped into Kurt's archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media."
VIDEOS: Michael Stipe's Nirvana Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction speech, St. Vincent & Joan Jett performances (watch)
The 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony happened last night (4/10) at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, which among other things, saw Nirvana getting inducted. You already saw pictures of their acceptance speech and performances with Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent and Lorde, and fan-made videos have since surfaced of them playing "Lithium" with St. Vincent, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with Joan Jett, and their introduction speech by R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe.
Stipe's speech talked about how Nirvana came from the '80s hardcore underground, called them greater than pop music, "artists in every sense of the word" and said they captured lightning in a bottle. In that same video, after Stipe's speech, Dave Grohl gives his acceptance speech in which he honors the four Nirvana drummers that came before him -- Aaron Burckhard, Dale Crover of the Melvins ("my absolute drumming hero"), Chad Channing (who he credited for the "In Bloom" drum fill), and Dan Peters of Mudhoney. Up next was Kirst Novoselic's speech, in which he thanked Sub Pop, Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, Nirvana producers Jack Endino, Steve Albini and Butch Vig, and others.
As you may have heard, after Nirvana's induction, the members and their guests headed to tiny Brooklyn venue Saint Vitus for a full set of Nirvana songs.
HBO airs the induction ceremony on May 31. Meanwhile, watch those fan-made videos below...

Courtney Love at The Paramount in 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Last week, Courtney Love said in a Quietus interview that she'd be reuniting the mid-'90s Hole lineup of her, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Eric Erlandson and Patty Schemel. However, over the weekend she told The Telegraph that the other band members "are all flipping out with [her]" about the comments. From the article:
She complains she has already been in trouble this week for implying there would be a reunion of the classic line-up of her original band Hole next year. "We may have made out but there is no talk of marriage," she says of tentative meetings with former band mates. "It's very frail, nothing might happen, and now the band are all flipping out with me."She also talks about the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which happens this Thursday (4/10) at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, and which Nirvana will be inducted at. Her ongoing dispute with Dave Grohl was brought up, and she took a little swipe at his band:
I can't just do a really good rock record and that's the end of it. I can't be Nickelback. And not to be a bitch, I can't be the Foo Fighters.As you probably know, this past Saturday (4/5) was also the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. In honor of that, watch the "Endless, Nameless" portion of Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!, along with a Hole video, below...

The conspiracy theories that Kurt Cobain was murdered as opposed to suicide have gone on for almost exactly two decades now, and following yesterday's news that his case was possibly being reexamined, it appears the case is officially closed. The NY Times reports:
Though his death was ruled a suicide some refused to believe that, leading to conspiracy theories that Cobain had been killed.In other Nirvana news, there's a campaign set up to turn Kurt's childhood home into a museum; Bleach-era drummer Chad Channing is not getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Kurt, Krist and Dave; they're releasing a Record Store Day 7", and Sivu covered "Dumb."
In a statement on the Seattle Police Department's online blotter, the detective who re-examined the case dismissed that speculation.
"Sometimes people believe what they read_some of the disinformation from some of the books, that this was a conspiracy. That's completely inaccurate," said Detective Mike Ciesynski, who found the four rolls of undeveloped crime scene photos. "It's a suicide. This is a closed case."
Nirvana news roundup: a RSD 7", Kurt Cobain case being reexamined?, Hall of Fame stuff ++ Sivu cover "Dumb" (listen)
It's almost exactly 20 years since the death of Kurt Cobain, and that of course means tons of things about Kurt and Nirvana have been popping up in the news (some, like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have nothing to do with his death though). First, KIRO 7 reported that Seattle police unearthed four developed rolls of film that had been sitting in a police evidence vault for years, and would be reexamining the case of his death. KIRO 7 also say they will be showing one of those images tonight at 11, and will explain why the police wanted to reexamine it. From their report:
The morning of April 8, 1994, Veca Electric employee Gary Smith went to Cobain's home at 171 Lake Washington Boulevard East to do electrical work.HOWEVER, The Seattle Times reports that despite KIRO 7's claims, the case has not been reopened:
"I noticed something on the floor and I thought it was a manikin," Smith told KIRO 7 at the time. "So I looked a little closer and geez, that's a person. I looked a little closer and I could see blood and an ear and a weapon laying on his chest."
The medical examiner determined Cobain had killed himself three days earlier - only days after he had left a rehab facility.
Before he was shot, police said Cobain had a lethal dose of heroin. The syringes Cobain used and the heroin kit was kept in the Seattle police evidence unit and was part of the re-investigation along with the previously undeveloped film.
On KIRO 7 Eyewitness News Eleven at 11, we ask the lead detective about the evidence and why it was kept for years, even though the initial investigation determined it was a suicide.
A recent re-examination of the investigation into the suicide of rock legend Kurt Cobain nearly 20 years ago uncovered undeveloped photos of the death scene but nothing that changed the findings, Seattle police say.In anticipation of the April 5 anniversary, a Seattle police cold-case detective recently took another look at the case file, according to police spokeswoman Renee Witt. However, she said there were no new findings and the case is not being re-opened, contrary to some media reports.Fox News also posted two tweets from the Seattle Police Department which seem to confirm the case has not ben reopened:
The detective "dug up the files and had another look, and there was nothing new," said Witt.
The detective found rolls of undeveloped film, were developed and showed the scene of Cobain's suicide, said Witt. She called the new photos "underwhelming."
"Despite an erroneous news report, we have not 'reopened' the investigation into the suicide of Kurt Cobain," the Seattle Police Department tweeted from a verified account.In less confusing news, a GoFundMe campaign was set up by Jaime Dunkle to turn Kurt's childhood home into a museum. Broward-Palm Beach New Times reports:
The police went on to explain on Twitter that the case was simply being reviewed in anticipation of the 20th anniversary of Cobain's untimely death.
"Our detective reviewed the case file anticipating questions surrounding the closed Cobain case as the 20 yr anniversary approaches," another tweet explained.
To get the approval for the possibility of the museum, Dunkle had to send a bio about herself to Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor, and prove that she wasn't a "crazed fan" and could actually pull this off. She highlighted numerous scholarships she's received and other achievements. "I used to be in the American Criminal Justice Association, so I made a long list of everything I've ever done and emailed it to the real estate agent, and she said she was forwarding it to Mrs. O'Connor. After that, they started taking me more seriously, I think. It took weeks of phone calls and emails, but I successfully set up an appointment to see the house. I deliberately arranged it to be on what would have been Kurt Cobain's 47th birthday."To donate, head to GoFundMe.
"Being inside was a total head spin. I had to meet with city officials and the realtor first, and by the time we finished hashing out some logistics for making it a museum, I only had 15 minutes to take pictures and make a video. As I wandered around, looking in closets, I imagined him as a teen, crouched inside, scribbling in his diaries or making sketches. The walk up the stairs into his bedroom made the hairs on my neck stand up. All I could think was that I was seeing through his eyes and walking in his footsteps, literally."
In more news, as you probably know, Nirvana are getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10 at Barclays Center, but Radio.com recently confirmed that drummer Chad Channing (who played on Bleach, and 1988's Love Buzz 7", the release that made them eligible to be nominated) will not be inducted. The Rock Hall contacted Nirvana's manager via a text, saying "Can you tell whoever looks after Chad Channing that he isn't being inducted... It is just Dave, Krist and Kurt."
Before learning that he wasn't being inducted, Chad told Radio.com, "When I told my daughter about the induction, she was super excited for me! So much of my excitement about it is for her! She's pretty awesome! My little boy is too young to understand though. So yeah, it does feel pretty good!"
Nirvana is also releasing the "Pennyroyal Tea" single b/w "I Hate Myself and Want To Die" on 7" vinyl for Record Store Day 2014. "Original plans for the single in 1994 were cancelled due to Kurt Cobain's death."
And lastly, London's Sivu has recorded a chilled-out cover of "Dumb" which you can exclusively listen to below...

Nirvana's 'In Utero' box set contains Steve Albini's pitch letter to the band; Cobain's childhood home for sale + other news
by Doug Moore
As you've no doubt heard (several times over), Nirvana's seminal In Utero turned 20 roughly two weeks ago. Geffen Records released an über-deluxe edition of the album on Tuesday -- 3 CDs, a DVD, and a lengthy booklet that together contain just about every version of the In Utero set that you could possibly want. If you ever listened to With the Lights Out and thought, "Man, this could be more comprehensive," then this is your jam.
The 20th-anniversary In Utero contains, among its extras, the letter that In Utero producer/all-around scabrous bastard Steve Albini wrote to Nirvana during his courtship of the project. Someone has helpfully uploaded the whole thing. It's a great read; Albini is both a colorful character and a crisp writer. The letter offers a revealing look into his (highly influential) attitudes as a producer, plus some quotable one-liners. Some favorites:
"Remixing is for talentless pussies who don't know how to tune a drum or point a microphone."Read the whole thing here. The über-deluxe In Utero 20th anniversary pack is available on Amazon for the low, low price of $130. I predict that it will be the Christmas gift of choice among 30-something professionals.
"I would be a little concerned about having you at my house for the duration of the whole recording...it would be a fine place to mix the record though, and you can't beat the vittles."
"If a record takes more than a week to make, someone's fucking up."
While on the subject of In Utero, Deer Tick, in their Deervana guise, played the album in full at Brooklyn Bowl a couple weeks back on the album's release anniversary. NYC Taper was there and you can stream a song and download the whole set over his weay.
In other news, Kurt Cobain's childhood home is on the market for $500,000, though the list price is reportedly less than $70,000. His mother and sister, who currently own it, would like it to become a museum. If you have that kind of dough burning a hole in your pocket, you can take a look inside before you buy without schlepping all the way out to Aberdeen, WA.
If that's not enough, there's some previously-unreleased rehearsal footage of "Very Ape" and "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" floating around the web; you can stream it below.
And for more reading, various surviving Nirvana band members (specifically Pat Smear and Dave Grohl) have given interviews on the subject of the album.
Check out those live videos below. What are we missing?

Via Buzzfeed & Laughing Squid, comes this handwritten list Kurt Cobain made, as published in Journals in 2002. Read the whole thing typed, below...
The Melvan, aka the old Melvins tour van that featured artwork by Kurt Cobain and which was driven by Kurt numerous times as well, has been sold on eBay for $24,701.00 (via Daily Swarm).
In related news, Tweak Bird have been added as an opener to the Melvins Lite tour, which the band are going on to set the Guinness World Record of "fastest tour of the US by a band" by hitting all 50 states and DC in 51 days. As discussed, that tour hits the NYC area on October 4 at Music Hall of Williamsburg and October 5 at Maxwell's. Tickets for the MHOW show are still available but the Maxwell's show is sold out.

This is an actual press release:
A STATEMENT FROM FRANCES COBAIN:This all came after "Courtney Love Calls Jason Segel "A Coward" After Muppets/Nirvana Debacle"
While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy.
Twitter should ban my mother.

Local upstarts Dive have just announced details of their debut album, Oshin, which is out June 26 on Captured Tracks. You can download the album's first single "How Long Have You Known?" at the top of this post, which was crowned Best New Track by Pitchfork today. Dive are playing Le Poisson Rogue tonight (4/6), opening for legendary NYC post punk act Bush Tetras, and will soon be hitting the road with Frankie Rose. (NYC date is May 5.) All Dive tour dates are below.
In addition to the Best New Track nod, the Pitchfork-Dive love can also be seen with a new "Rising" Q&A with frontman Zachary Cole Smith who also spends time playing guitar in Beach Fossils:
Beach Fossils is a big influence on me just because [Beach Fossils leader] Dustin [Payseur] is one of my best friends, and I really respect him musically. But I have not written or played on any Beach Fossils material that people have heard. It's funny to think about the two projects being linked in that way, because to almost every single person who has listened to Beach Fossils, there's no actual connection.I don't know if I'd go that far -- Dive's first single "Sometimes" had Beach Fossils fingerprints all over it -- but anyone who's seen the band play recently (maybe at our day party in Austin last month) knows that Dive has really come into their own sound and are one of the most exciting live bands in Brooklyn right now (according to this writer). Unlike the early singles, which were Cole Smith on his own, Oshin was recorded with the whole band. Before that, Dive will release non-LP single, "Geist," on April 24. The A-side is downloadable at Pitchfork, and you can grab the b-side -- a cover of Kurt Cobain demo "Bambi Slaughter" -- above.

Kurt Cobain photos exhibit opening at Morrison Hotel Gallery; Cobain paintings to be auctioned, maybe
The Morrison Hotel Gallery says:
We are very excited to present Jesse's amazing Kurt Cobain photographic collection at our SoHo Gallery on April 5th. While earning a degree in economics at the University of Michigan, Jesse Frohman picked up a camera and never put it down. When he returned to New York, he had no formal training or experience, but he did have a portfolio of platinum prints, which caught the interest of legendary photographer Irving Penn, who hired Jesse to manage his studio.The exhibit will be open to the public from April 6th through Aprol 23rd at the 124 Prince Street gallery.
It was an incomparable apprenticeship. To the techniques and aesthetics he learned from Penn, Jesse added his own sensibilities of strength, dignity and quiet energy, all of which are evident in his pictures.
Jesse has photographed countless celebrities and still lifes. In addition to his work for magazines, advertising, and recording companies, he has been commissioned to create two award-winning books. His work is also in many private collections.
Jarvis Cocker, Mike Nouveau and others will DJ, along with a live set by the Virgins, at the opening night afterparty at Tribeca Grand, a Grand Life hotel.
Grand Life has an article talks more about the pictures at the gallery (via).
In related news, Courtney Love is planning on auctioning off some paintings made by Kurt Cobain (if she's alllowed), and "Clint Eastwood's 'A Star is Born' Remake is Really About Kurt Cobain" (via).
Kurt Cobain's life ended on April 5, 1994.
Kathleen Hanna tells the story of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' (and sang it before 'Rebel Girl' @ Joe's Pub) (video)
"Oh Me by the Meat Puppets - In late 1993, when Nirvana played their famous "MTV Unplugged" show, they were on tour with Curt and Chris Kirkwood, the brothers who made up the heart of the Meat Puppets. At this point, Cobain was using pretty heavily, and barely made it through soundcheck. During the taping, the Meat Puppets joined Nirvana for three songs, all Meat Puppets originals.Hear it live, maybe, TONIGHT (December 11th) @ Maxwell's in Hoboken. Or try again Friday in Philly, or at the show Saturday (12/13) night in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Oakley Hall opens both NYC dates. "Oh Me" videos, and all Meat Puppets dates, below...
Each band gave a gift to the other that night: Nirvana, by bringing an influential but essentially underground band up to play with them; the Meat Puppets by basically surrendering those wonderful songs to Nirvana, specifically to Cobain. Obviously, having those songs on Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged" album provided the Meat Puppets with some pretty fair publishing royalties (Allah be praised!). At the same time, thanks to that legendary concert, those songs become Nirvana's -- specifically they are associated with Kurt Cobain and that performance. That's got to be an honor for the Meat Puppets. But who knows, maybe it also stings.
I say this only because the originals are so good; indeed, my own preference is for them, especially the fully electric version of "Oh Me," with its fuzz and building distortion and feedback. Curt Kirkwood's soloing is so haunting and sad on this, growing until the sound is profoundly huge. It's a song that deserves to be heard, especially during a season that is supposed to be about giving."

You can buy tickets for the Rriiccee show at the Green Room on December 7th. Rriiccee's four members (pictured above) are Vincent Gallo, Rebecca Casabian, Nikolas Haas, and Eric Erlandson from Hole.
Speaking of Hole, have you been keeping with Courtney Love's blog? If not, you're missing out on stuff like,
its not dexactly cake to get tebh fbi to help u despite heaps and masses of documents they had the nerve to leave behind the ftc helping you is bogus too, they dont do JACK whats your best suggestion for clearing up old id theft but MASSIVE old id theft open corps you knew nothing about bogus tax stuff...[Courtney]Look what's out now on DVD:
Mixed in surround sound by legendary surround mixing engineer Elliot Scheiner, this DVD allows fans to experience this performance like never before, completely unedited including the two songs not originally broadcasted ("Something In The Way" and "Oh Me" ), and with the best sound ever available (to anyone not in the studio for the original taping.) For the purists, also included on this DVD is the original 44 min broadcast version of the show, plus never-before-seen REHEARSAL performances. As an extra bonus to the DVD, a 14-minute interview segment called Bare Witness produced by MTV focuses on the recollections of those who experienced this magical moment in music history, those who produced it and interviews with the band from the day of the taping.It seems to be selling well for a music DVD, but still not nearly as popular as Planet Earth.
Kurt Cobain was funny. Foo Fighters are playing some shows.

"Dr. Martens boots are 'made to last,'"
Courtney (friend of Billy), and rightly so, got mad. The ad agency even got fired.
Kurt was also spotted this week on the cover of Sassy, wearing a BMX Bandits T-shirt, and expressing his love for Daniel Johnston.
There's also a new Nirvana biography out. PopMatters read it.
Kurt's boxers may or may not show up on E-bay anytime soon, but there is still time to bid on Neko Case's

Despite the protestations of her colleagues that she will be fair, Ifill has appeared on numerous radio and TV talk shows over the past several months to cash in on her access to the Obama campaign. She recently penned a fawning cover story on the Obamas for Essence magazine that earned much buzz. The title? "The Obamas: Portrait of an American Family." A sample of Ifill's hard-hitting investigative journalism, illustrated with Kennedy-esque photos of the Obamas and children posing at home on the back porch and by the piano:
"Barack Obama is sitting in the back of his rented luxury campaign bus with its granite counters and two flat-screen TVs. The Illinois senator's arms are wrapped around his wife, Michelle, whom he doesn't get to see much these days. At this very moment he is, of all things, singing."
During the Democratic National Convention, Ifill offered her neutral analysis on NBC News before Michelle Obama's speech: "A lot of people have never seen anything that looks like a Michelle Obama before. She's educated, she's beautiful, she's tall, she tells you what she thinks and they hope that she can tell a story about Barack Obama and about herself."
During the Republican National Convention, the PBS ombudsman fielded numerous complaints about Ifill's coverage of Sarah Palin's speech. Wrote Brian Meyers of Granby, Ct.:
"I was appalled by Gwen Ifill's commentary directly following Gov. Sarah Palin's speech. Her attitude was dismissive and the look on her face was one of disgust. Clearly, she was agitated by what most critics view as a well-delivered speech. It is quite obvious that Ms. Ifill supports Obama as she struggled to say anything redemptive about Gov. Palin's performance. I am disappointed in Ms. Ifill's complete disregard for journalistic objectivity."
Like Obama, Ifill, who is black, is quick to play the race card at the first sign of criticism. In an interview with the Washington Post a few weeks ago, she carped: "[N]o one's ever assumed a white reporter can't cover a white candidate."
It's not the color of your skin, sweetie. It's the color of your politics. Perhaps Ifill will be able to conceal it this week. But if the "stunning" "Breakthrough" she's rooting for comes to pass on Jan. 20, 2009, nobody will be fooled.

NPR Celebrates William Jennings Bryan: 'The Core of Modern Liberalism'
As the media and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama force-feed the country populism, National Public Radio (NPR) went back to the movement's roots.
Famed populist William Jennings Bryan – a three-time Democratic presidential nominee was the subject of NPR's "All Things Considered" "Radio Diaries" Oct. 14. Even though
"But at the same time, Bryan's platform of really believing that you need to make the masses more prosperous and that prosperity will work its way up to the rich rather than trickle down, his support for more government intervention in the economy to help the have-nots – that really became the core of modern liberalism and that changed his party," NPR's Joe Richman explained. "You can say in many ways
As National Review's David Frum pointed out, there are striking similarities between

With just one senior on its roster, the Baldwinsville girls soccer team may not carry the immense talent or large-scale expectations of seasons past.
But the Bees are still a prime Section III Class AA title contender and getting every opponent's best effort, as last week's action demonstrated.
Up against visiting Fayetteville-Manlius last Monday at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium, the Bees controlled large portions of the contest, yet could only manage a 0-0 draw with the Hornets.
F-M had just played Cicero-North Syracuse to a 0-0 stalemate two days earlier, and now took aim at a B'ville side it was supposed to face at home Sept. 11 before a weather postponement moved it to next Thursday night.
During the first half, both sides effectively passed the ball around, but once it got into the defensive end, those opportunities dissipated, as even corner kicks and free kicks proved fruitless.
Then, early in the second half, Jade Gentile's long run led to another corner kick on the left side. It got pushed into the middle, where several B'ville players had a chance to put it in the net, but somehow Hornets goalie Alex Lunderman held on.
The Bees never got so close again, either in the second half or 20 minutes of overtime, as every direct shot went right to Lunderman, who finished with nine saves.
F-M had its share of runs, especially in the second half and OT, but the combined work of Alyssa VanAuken and Mackenzie Hanna, who had 11 saves between them, kept the Hornets off the board, too.
In the other marquee game of the week, B'ville visited two-time defending Class AA champion Liverpool on Saturday night and never got into the argument, the Warriors taking charge from the start and handing the Bees a 4-0 defeat.
Twice in the first nine minutes, Liverpool scored off corner kicks as Emma Geyer converted with a header just 5:07 into the game and, less than four minutes later, Alexis Kline slid a low shot past VanAuken to make it 2-0.

This was very good. Made a double batch. At first it was not sweet enough, so I added brown sugar until it was the sweetness that I wanted. Made for PAC Fall 2008.
good but it seemed to be missing something
Oatmeal is a favorite breakfast in my house. I really enjoyed the addition of the applesauce. Not having apple pie spice, I used Baking Spice Blend Mix. The recipe is well written and easy to follow.

Marriage Shock : The Transformation of Women into WivesAuthor:
Heyn, Dalma
Pub Date: 2000
Publisher: DIANE Publishing Company
Summary: Dalma Heyn offers the revolutionary argument that women leave their marriages not for the reasons commonly believed--boredom, or disharmony with their mate--but because of a subtle trauma that they experience soon after nuptials. Women in first and second marriages, married at twenty or forty-five, describe their unexpected, often lonely transformation from women into wives and their inability to stop, or even articu...late, its occurrence. As one woman says, "Within a year of my marrying, my plans for my own life, my own needs, had disappeared." Heyn argues that the ideal of the Virtuous Wife has taught us that she is the one responsible for the quality of the relationship--that to make a marriage work, women must be sacrificing, accommodating, good. But those are qualities for sainthood, not happiness. In fact, they assure precisely the opposite--distress, resentment, and guilt in both partners. Elegantly argued and resounding with the voices of women and men, Marriage Shock is a groundbreaking book that will change the way we think about marriage--and about divorce. Heyn's compassionate conclusion is that marriage can be saved only when we stop trying to "fix" wives so they fit into it--and instead fix marriage to embrace and nourish wives. [read more]

Postsecondary History Teachers in the United States take home approximately $42K per year on average. Some workers in this field — about a fourth — are not awarded benefits. Medical coverage is reported by a fair number and dental plans are enjoyed by a majority. Most Postsecondary History Teachers like their work and job satisfaction is high.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Postsecondary history teachers work for public and private colleges and universities, community and junior colleges, vocational schools, professional schools and other postsecondary institutions. They provide instruction to postsecondary students in history, which may include teaching lower- and/or higher-level courses; history teachers at the postsecondary level generally have a specialization in which they teach. They create lessons and exams, respond to student questions, and grade tests and papers produced by students. Outside of class time, postsecondary history teachers usually hold office hours that allow students to ask questions and discuss their progress or concerns. Additionally, these teachers may conduct research and produce scholarship for publication in journals, textbooks or other publications.Read More...
Most universities require that postsecondary history teachers to have a Ph.D. in history; a master's or bachelor's degree in history may be sufficient for some institutions along with relevant experience. Candidates must demonstrate excellent teaching and public speaking skills, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills. They must be able to engage a diverse range of students effectively inside a classroom setting and in feedback on students' work. Additionally, in positions where research and scholarship is required, postsecondary history teachers must have excellent research and academic writing skills Additionally, these teachers must stay up to date on developments in their field through methods such as academic journals, workshops and conferences.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $40K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $47K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Postsecondary History Teachers make a median salary of $46K. Postsecondary History Teachers who claim more than two decades of experience actually make somewhat smaller average paychecks of $43K.

Corvette Racing: GT2 C6.Rs Officially Entered for Mid-Ohio
Corvette Racing's return to the American Le Mans series is now official. PlanetLeMans.com is reporting that the two Corvette C6.Rs have officially been entered to run in the GT2 class at the Acura Sports Car Challenge in Mid-Ohio. The #3 and #4 Corvettes will now go head to head with Ferrari, Porsche, Panoz, BMW, Ford and Dodge in what looks to be one of the most diverse and competitive classes in auto racing.
Johnny O'Connell and Jan Magnussen will be driving the #3 Corvette C6.R while Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin will be behind the wheel of the #4 Corvette. O'Connell and Magnussen return fresh off their GT1 class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the sixth victory in the world's greatest race since 2001.
"For several years now, the competition in GT2 has been the closest and most competitive among all our classes," said Scott Atherton, American Le Mans Series President and CEO. "With the news of Corvette Racing's official entry into the category at Mid-Ohio, the class quite possibly becomes the most diverse and competitive ever. It also serves as another example of the continued growth and success of the American Le Mans Series. Corvette never truly left, but it's safe to say that they were missed by the countless participants at our Corvette Corrals and fans worldwide. We would like to be the first to officially say, 'Welcome back!'"
The Acura Sports Car Challenge at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio is scheduled to start at 2:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 8th. The race will be televised same-day tape-delayed on NBC at 4 p.m. ET.

Use the CR200 touchscreen controller to operate a Sonos Music System throughout your home. This remarkably intuitive remote gives you instant access to every song stored on your PC along with a wealth of tunes available from the Internet. The touchscreen makes it easy to search for your favorite music by album, song, or artist name. Equipping your system with multiple Sonos Controllers lets different family members pick tunes and program personalized playlists at the same time. Charging cradle included.
According to Sonos both this and the Desktop Controller are works in progress. It shows. Their online manual is brief and the 'search' feature is extremely poor.
Pros: It does allow music and radio selections from another room.
Cons: Features are still in development and there are way too many steps to get to a radio station that's been selected as a favorite.
we have this and we love it not bad at all, a great way to access pandora from any room in your house independent volume controls, touchpad is very easy to use simple U.I. : )
tons of other sources available
I agree with the 1st reviewer about the free IPHONE app. Although if you are spending to this level of money than buy the controller and you won't pick up your phone except to answer it. I love the controller over my IPHONE as it is faster, more versatile and has a greater WIFI range. I like the ability to adjust screen lighting and also the instant sound adjustments you can't get with your IPHONE app. I have one for the upstairs and one for downstairs. I'm running the ZP90 attached to my ONKYO THX2 cert theater rcvr for my man cave and the wife has 2 5s players for her office and kitchen. I love my Sonos system. They have just upgraded the software to have a "fader" function that fades your music just like the dj's. AWESOME.... We listen to SIRIUS and other internet radio stations and I love it. Everybody should buy their system as its the best. I've looked at alot of various high end integrations and this hits the best price/feature points. You can always run the sound through your own speakers and burn the music to lossles quality. WAY TO GO SONOS!!
First, If you already own an ipod or iphone, download the Sonos app (free) and see if you like it. 99% of the software is the same.
Between the 2, there are good arguments for either. if you don't already have an i-device the cost will be similar enough that you should get whichever makes more sense to you. Some features, such as battery life, "instant on"(and it is the fastest startup from dead sleep that I have seen ANY device do) and stronger wifi signals will have this beating the app version anyways, though depending on your situation the added benefit of doing other things on your i-device certainly merits thought. I have both so I am simply stating my review of the CR200.
The size is better than the CR100, the battery is replaceable, typing for searching is SO much easier. Zone management (adding then dropping, etc replaced by simply choosing from a list the zones you want) is much easier. The overall look and feel not surprisingly is more modern.
There is a place for all the controllers (the one negative to getting battery replacement options is no longer getting 100% water tightness, so I'll keep my CR100 in the kitchen) and I have and use both the Sonos controllers as well as the i-touch version and the desktop controllers. Perhaps that says more of my large amount of time listening to music but I do find that I (and definitely my wife) gravitate more toward this controller now as its the fastest way out of all of them to get the music playing that we want.
Overview: The Sonos Controller (formerly the CR200) works exclusively with the multi-zone Sonos Digital Music System, and allows you to control all of your music and all of your zones wirelessly from the palm of your hand.
Touch Screen Display: The Controller features a 3.5" (diagonally measured) full color LCD touch screen, with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, for viewing zone configurations, playlists, and menus, as well as full color album artwork. The LCD display offers touch screen technology with a rugged scratch-resistant glass face. The Controller's transflective LCD screen is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with adjustable backlighting.
Sonosnet: The Controller communicates with the nearest Sonos player (Connect, Connect:Amp, Play:3 or Play:5) through Sonosnet, a secure, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network, allowing you to extend the range of the controller to any room in your house, even outside. Because it communicates with the nearest player, rather than through one distant control point, the system avoids sources of wireless interference. The range of the Sonosnet is 50 to 100 feet, a range similar to that of an 802.11g wireless access point.
Rechargeable Battery: The Controller is powered by a high-density rechargeable Lithium Ion polymer battery (1850mAh). Assuming typical usage, a fully charged battery will last from 2-5 days (depending on usage pattern and sleep timer settings).
Charging Cradle: The Controller also comes with a charging cradle so you can easily charge the controller's battery when it is not in use. The charging cradle will recharge the battery in approximately 2 hours (full charge).
Indicators: During operation, the Controller has several status indicators. The LCD screen indicates the battery charge level and wireless signal strength. An Orange LED indicator appears when the Controller is starting-up or when the battery is too low to power-on the screen.
Volume Controls:
Playback Controls:
Light Sensor: The Controller's built-in light sensor (located on the controller's face above the LCD screen) automatically turns on the button backlights based upon the brightness of the environment.
Lock Controller: You can choose to lock the Sonos Controller so that nothing happens when you touch the screen or buttons (such as when cleaning the screen, or carrying the controller in your pocket.
Sleep Modes: To save battery power, the Controller enters a progressive sleep mode:
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

The 30th Melbourne International Comedy Festival will take place from 23 March to 17 April 2016.
RAW Comedy gigs will take place in capital cities in early 2016. The Roadshow takes place across the country between May and July each year following the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Comedy does happen all year round and, although the Festival doesn't run gigs outside of our events, you should check out local comedy rooms that might be running tonight.
Artists will be confirmed for the 2016 Festival later this year. To keep up to date with all announcements as they happen be sure to sign up to our e-newsletter. Head to the comedyfestival.com.au home page to search through 2015's shows.
A copy of the Program Guide will be available inside the Herald Sun on in February. Program Guides will also be available from Ticketmaster outlets and selected cafes, theatres and bars after this date. Unfortunately, we are unable to mail out Program Guides to metropolitan Melbourne. We can only send programs to people living in regional Victoria and interstate who were unable to get the copy in the Herald Sun. These people can request a copy by emailing email@example.com after the Guide is released.
You can purchase your tickets through this website or through Ticketmaster - either by phoning 1300 660 013 or by visiting a Ticketmaster outlet near you.
To stay up to date with show and onsale announcements, sign up to receive our email newsletter.
Where can I park in the City?
If you're driving into the CBD to see a show Secure Parking offer an amazing deal of $4 Weekend and Evening Parking for Comedy Festival patrons. Visit secureparking.com.au to find our how to redeem.
The Gala is the Comedy Festival's most popular event and often sells out within hours of tickets going on sale. The best way to get tickets is to join our mailing list to be the first to find out exactly when and where the Gala goes on sale. Due to the popularity of the Gala, and its status as a fundraising event for Oxfam, we do not set aside tickets for corporate sales.
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has contacts for all the comedians who appear at the Festival but the question of who is best for your event can be a really tricky one. We recommend you have a look at past Festival programs and, if you want to contact someone in particular, let us know. Otherwise, email us and we can put you in touch with some good booking agents in your area.
Most shows are not age restricted and those that are will be listed as such in the Program Guide. As we don't know how your children will react, or what you feel is appropriate for them, it is difficult for us to recommend particular shows. Please be aware, however, that comedy shows can contain course language, nudity or "blue" themes. Our best advice is to browse the Program Guide and reviews to gauge the content of shows.
It is possible for patrons under 18 to get into licensed venues (such as the The Hi- Fi) provided they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Each year's Festival program will feature a Kids' section highlighting the best comedy for ages 0 - 12. This does not mean that kid's comedy won't appeal to all age groups. The Festival also has a Family comedy, with shows that are suitable for all the family.
Late night mayhem at The Hi-Fi. Check out the Jameson Festival Club listing on the online program for more information.
Refunds are only issued according to the Australian Entertainment Industry Association's Ticketing Code of Practice. Refunds are only issued if:
For a full copy of the Code, go to www.aeia.org.au. If you feel that you are entitled to a refund, please contact the Comedy Festival office in writing, addressing all communication to the General Manager. The final decision on refunds is made by the producer of the show. If ask us about a refund is for such a show, we will communicate your request to that show's producer.
If you know your friends or family love comedy but you don't know what show they'd like to see you can buy them a Comedy Festival gift voucher. Available in amounts of $20, $50 or $100, the vouchers can be purchased and the shows chosen later - they're redeemable for events sold through Ticketmaster and at the Melbourne Town Hall (but NOT the Gala) and they will be valid until the end of the 2015 Festival.
We cannot guarantee that you will be admitted to a show if you are running late. It will depend largely on whether an appropriate break in the performance will allow for latecomers and if the performer and front of house staff are comfortable admitting you. As a general rule, most Comedy Festival shows are only an hour long so the best advice is to have your car parked and your tickets picked up well in advance of a show's advertised start time.

Burma's reclusive military junta is moving key ministries to a secret location in the mountains and dense forest on the road to Mandalay, in what is believed to be a precaution against a US invasion.
The relocation from Rangoon of the Commerce, Foreign, Home Affairs and Telecommunications ministries to Pyinmana, about 320km north of the capital, began at the weekend.
There was no official announcement but a source in one department said the deputy minister and half the staff of each ministry were to move. Ministers were to stay in Rangoon.
Burma watchers have said the regime is making the move to ensure a better-fortified seat of government.
The junta is said to have considered moving the ministries about three years ago amid fears the capital, Rangoon, also known as Yangon, would be vulnerable to a US military strike.
Washington has branded Burma an "outpost of tyranny" because of its poor human rights record and continuing repression of democracy, including the detention of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.
Burma won independence from Britain after World War II and enjoyed a brief period of democracy before the military seized power in 1962.
The army has run the country ever since, ignoring the results of a 1990 election it lost by a landslide.

Where to honeymoon?
For many couples choosing their honeymoon is one of the more important tasks on the wedding checklist. Some people will already have a honeymoon destination in mind, maybe somewhere they have talked about visiting or somewhere they can enjoy their favourite activity. Other couples can find the task of deciding on their ideal honeymoon quite difficult.
A good place to start is to sit down together with a pen and paper to discuss what you are each looking for from your honeymoon. Do you like spending time together relaxing? Can you see yourselves on an isolated beach overlooking warm crystal clear seas or is it more important to have a wide selection of shops, bars, restaurants and museums nearby? Do you want an adventure of a lifetime or to experience the luxury of a 4, 5 or even 6 star resort? Defining priorities like these can help to narrow down the options and also to help ensure that your honeymoon is perfectly suited to you both. It is quite likely that there will be some differences in opinion about the order of these priorities but don't worry about that for now just put down everything that is important to each of you. You may be pleasantly surprised at the number of options that can cater for you both, even if one of you wants skiing and the other wants a beach in summer, there are locations that can cater for this. Don't compromise just yet!
When you are happy with your list of priorities you then need to define your budget. It is also worth noting when the money will be available as it may affect your options. For example, some long haul honeymoon destinations or All inclusive package deals are expensive to book in the first place but require very little spending money while you are there. On the other side of things a short haul destination or self catering accommodation option will be cheaper to book but will require more spending money.
Once you have made all of these decisions you will be in a much better position to discuss your honeymoon options with a travel agent. Consulting an honeymoon expert with an open mind at this stage will give you the maximum choice available to meet all of your criteria.
Shire Wedding has teamed up with Designer Travel to give you access to some great honeymoon deals. If you would like our honeymoon expert to get in touch to discuss your options and give you some prices, just complete the form below with your contact details and any destination preferences or best times to call.

How To Line a Round Cake Pan with Parchment
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
When baking cakes, especially layered ones, my greatest fear is that the cakes won't come out of the pans easily even if I've greased the living daylights out of them. The solution is simple: place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan. The cake will easily slide out every time.
While you can buy parchment paper already pre-cut into rounds, they're expensive and you'd need to buy more than one type of round if you have cake pans in multiple sizes. Here's an easy way to make your own parchment rounds out of a regular roll of parchment paper in just a few quick steps!
