Been yearly another year since my last journal entry. Lots of things are changing, figured I'd update for the sake of yall that are still reading.
Art: Drawing occasionally, still working on hands and general anatomy. My big issue is still progressing from anime to realism, and since I haven't been able to put a lot of time into drawing it's taking longer than normal.
Work: Working this summer, am averaging 26 hrs/wk, but it's not too bad since I am starting a second job at a biology research center in a week. 26 hrs/wk at existing job plus 20 hrs/wk at new job.... makes for a busy me!
Personal: One of my closest friends (er) wanted to FWB me. I declined, kinda sad about having to adult so soon after May.
The big update: I'm moving for college in August. I was able to graduate from the community college since I had so many dual-enrollment credits from high-school electives, so now I have both a high-school diploma and a college diploma. Graduated CC before I graduated HS, in fact . Anyway, I'm moving to a four-year in August, and I am very VERY excited. There's not many people from my city going to that particular college, but there are bunches when you expand to about an hour's drive from my house! I am now OFFICIALLY an engineering major and pre-med. (No typos - you heard that right.) I'm taking eight classes in the fall, and although my classes start at 8am every day, I am very very excited to move to new things in life. For the curious:
Chemistry 115, chemistry recitation, chemistry lab, retaking calculus 1 (cal 1 honors conflicted with a mandatory class), calculus in engineering, english 101, engineering 1, and engineering drafting/CAD.
What does all this mean for yall? I am going to be very very busy soon, but I don't know how that will affect my presence on here. (Not like I've had one recently anyway.) However I would really appreciate it if yall sent happy thoughts my way: it's going to be really stressful since I have to 'reinvent' myself because I am coming from podunk country/town hybrid to a metropolis twenty times the size of my hometown, and I have to 'get in good' (make social connections) with people to be accepted into med school, and I really really really wanna go to med school. (The south is a weird place.)
Anywho. Yall have a good evening, and stay cool in this heat.
PS: Got my EMT-B certification, studying for NREMT-B. Wish me luck!!

The hospital site is believed to be the first in Britain to have unveiled its own Olympic Park-style outdoor gym.
Comprising 16 pieces of equipment , the same as items installed at London's Olympic Village, the facility has been installed to encourage patients, visitors and staff to work out their way to a healthier lifestyle.

11 Apr 2014
PERSONAL INCOME TAX has risen in 25 of the 34 OECD nations over the past three years, as countries reduce the value of tax-free allowances and tax credits and subject higher proportions of earnings to tax, the body has found.
The increases in tax burdens on labour income in 2013 were largest in Portugal as a result of higher statutory rates, Slovakia due to higher employer social security contributions and the US because of expiry of previous reductions in employee social security contributions.
The average tax burden on employment incomes across the OECD increased by 0.2 of a percentage point in 2013, to 35.9%, according to the report.
It increased in 21 out of 34 countries, fell in 12, and remained unchanged in one.
The 2013 rise follows a substantial increase in 2011 and a smaller one in 2012. Since 2010, the tax burden has increased in 21 OECD countries and fallen in nine, partially reversing the reductions seen between 2007 and 2010.
The design and interaction of personal income tax systems, social security contributions and benefit systems has become more progressive for low-income households across the OECD, particularly since the global economic crisis began in 2007, and notably for poorer households with children.
A significant factor for that, the OECD said, has been growth in targeted tax credits or "make-work-pay" provisions for low-income workers, as well as increased child benefits for low-income households.
Conversely, there has been little change in progressiveness of taxation for single workers without children or those at higher income levels, although wide differences exist between countries.
Ireland, Sweden and Slovenia reported the greatest rise in progressive taxation for single taxpayers without children, while the largest decreases in progressivity for single taxpayers without children were seen in Germany, Hungary and Israel.

A closer picture of the rosary I made for Pence, but that Damien has borrowed for some time now. I wish to make a new one, though, since I didn't have the right tools when I made this one so its not as good-looking as It could have been. I love my new camera, though.

New Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit now in operation
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 8:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 8:32 a.m.
A message to drug dealers in Etowah County: This is about to be a different place, District Attorney Jimmie Harp said.
The newly formed Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit is now operating with 14 members, making it one of the largest task forces in the state, Harp said. The agents who make up the drug unit will work all over the county, in every municipality and in unincorporated areas.
With the mere existence of this task force well see changes of how the (drug) distribution chain works, he said. Thats the message weve been trying to send all along.
The Gadsden City Council, Etowah County Commission and all other cities in Etowah County have approved joining a countywide drug task force, an endeavor proposed in June by Harp.
The participation of all cities, the Sheriffs Department and the District Attorneys Office is a first in Etowah County and possibly the first in the state to form such an extensive task force.
The Etowah County Drug Task Force, administered by the Sheriffs Department and the Gadsden Police Departments narcotics division, have disbanded and become part of the new unit.
The executive board of the task force includes Harp, Sheriff James Hayes, Gadsden Police Chief Richard Crouch and Attalla Police Chief Joe Hereford. Harp, Hayes and Crouch serve by virtue of their positions and Hereford was appointed as a fourth member by city mayors, who will be part of an advisory board.
Im real excited about the public support, Harp said. The chief (Crouch) and the sheriff have gone out of their way to make sure this works.
The new task force will have four appointments from Hayes, four from Crouch and four from Harp. The commander and a secretary also are a part of the unit.
Harp believes the growing drug problem, especially with crystal methamphetamine, is the main reason the concept of the joint task force has been popular.
We never got a dissenting vote, Harp said of the approval by every governing body in the county. That says a lot for what we can do when we work together for a good cause and I cant imagine a better cause than this.
A joint task force would give all the law enforcement agencies and the District Attorneys Office the ability to make bigger and better cases, Harp said.
Harp, who prosecuted drug cases for 10 years as an assistant district attorney, said he always believed a joint task force would work.
He believes the success of all agencies coming together now is a matter of timing because of the growing meth problem.
Its going to be a bigger problem than heart disease and a lot of other diseases, Harp said. It affects every socio-economic and every demographic group.
Meth has gone from accounting for 40 percent of all drug cases to accounting for 75 percent of the drug cases.
About 82 percent of all felony drug cases are related to meth, Harp said.
At least 85 percent of the kids in foster care are coming from meth houses, he said.
The unit is operating under the leadership of Rob Savage, the former commander of the Marshall County drug unit.
Were going to try to make this a very unpleasant place for those folks to do business, Savage said of the drug dealers.
Once Harp got the unanimous approval, the ball starting rolling. Savage was hired and the search for a new office was on.
The County Commission has agreed to house the office at the former Etowah County Solid Waste Disposal Authority building, behind the Etowah County Detention Center.
The renovations are done, everybody is hired and well have a training period, Savage said. Operations are ongoing and already have begun.
The excitement of the agents who will be on the team is evident with the sweat equity they were willing to put into the renovations at the new building, Savage said.
Between $50,000 and $60,000 was budgeted for renovations, but the agents did much of the work so the renovations only cost $13,000, Savage said. Some jail inmate labor also was utilized. The agents worked hard to save money so the savings could be used to buy more equipment, Savage said.
Theyre excited because they know they have an opportunity to do something special, Savage said.
All the agents have years of experience in narcotics, but the group will train for the next several days to better familiarize themselves with each other.
Theyre all experienced agents, but this gives them a chance to get comfortable with each other, Harp said. Its a good way to learn how each other moves.
Because of the level of violence associated with drug trafficking it is critical that the agents are trained to deal with those situations, Savage said.
The county and city of Gadsden each have agreed to contribute $150,000 to the task force. The District Attorneys Office will contribute $45,000. Attalla, Rainbow City, Southside, Glencoe and Hokes Bluff agreed to contribute $25,000 each; Sardis City and Altoona, $5,000; Walnut Grove, $2,500 and Mountainboro, $2,000.
A grant application also has been filed to seek additional funding for the task force, Harp said.
Harp said response from the local legislative and congressional delegations has been promising.
With the response theyve seen, they are willing to help with funding when the time comes, Harp said. Theyve all committed to me theyre going to explore every avenue of funding.

Having just hung up with the latest reporter doing their homework for post-Copenhagen-announcement stories, it occurs to me that I should share with readers of this blog first the ideas that may make it into general media publications later this week.
Most of the interviewers calling IEG are from stateside media wanting to know if Chicago 2016's sponsorship revenue projections of $1.8 billion are achievable should the IOC award the games to the Windy City.
My response has been that although Chicago faces the largest challenge because it set its sponsorship goals much higher than the other bid cities, whichever contender ends up as the 2016 host (and I do hope it is my city) will have to change the way we think about Olympic Games sponsorship.
international olympics packaging selling servicing assets
As the tennis season winds down, one sponsorship stands out in my mind as particularly interesting.
Video game maker EA Sports partnered with the Olympus U.S. Open Series for the first time to promote its Grand Slam Tennis title.
I find this sponsorship intriguing because despite the game's subject matter, the tennis crowd is not normally the demographic that game makers covet. However, I took a closer look and some important details came to light that reveal it would be a mistake for tennis properties to scratch gaming completely off their prospective sponsor category list.

So what have you changed about the way you pitch sponsors since the financial fallout?
Something IEG tried recently—in pitching our sponsorship consulting services to a prospective corporate client—was dumping PowerPoint. Having made the final cut from an RFP, four of us were practicing our spiels when senior vice president of business development Tim Tlusty said the PowerPoint was not adding anything, and in fact diverted the focus from the speaker to the slide or the slide handout.
After years of presenting with the aid of PowerPoint, going naked was a jump. But we tried it and what a home run. The sponsor executives were downright giddy when they heard we did not have a PowerPoint presentation. Even better, they were totally engaged throughout the allotted 90 minutes, and in fact invited us to go longer, which we happily did.
IEG selling how to get sponsorship
Tough times call for drastic measures. Unquestionably the tough economy has led pro sports leagues and teams to make difficult decisions regarding both their brand and their bottom line. Although the practice was once uniformly (no pun intended) considered taboo stateside, the NBA and NFL have carved out an additional revenue opportunity for their teams by allowing them to sell sponsorship to their practice jerseys.
In one recent week, the NBA's New Jersey Nets and Phoenix Suns, as well as the NFL's San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, signed deals providing sponsors the rights to their practice jerseys and coaches' apparel.
Although these deals have created quite a buzz in the sports business world, I question what relevance (past the initial media coverage/shock value) these sponsorships will have with sports fans and consumers.
backlash packaging pro sports selling sports assets
IEG chairman Lesa Ukman's latest blog post (read it here) put me in mind of a phrase she coined about seven years ago to describe cosponsorships and cross-promotions conducted by complementary brands not under the same ownership: peanut butter and jelly partners. Like PB&J, they go together, but also stand apart.
In her blog, Lesa cites the example of a property with a spirits sponsor targeting a maker of mixers as a potential cosponsor. Based on actual sponsorships we have tracked the past few years, there are many additional PB&J partnerships that properties can consider.

It's a week for analogies (what week isn't, I say) and I've got another one for you. We all spend so much time thinking about, talking about, and practicing consultative servicing, solutions-based selling, ethical selling, and so on. All good, right things. But how tangible are they when you're racking your brain to get the job done?
This is why I like analogies, especially on Friday afternoons. We live in the world of best practices ready for the taking, and yet sometimes we just need to think about things on a practical level to make progress.
So here's today's analogy: think of your sponsorship program like you're running a hotel. You want to invite sponsors in, make them very comfortable during their stay, and have them want to stay with you forever.
how to get sponsorship selling servicing activation
So many of our rightsholder clients have been successful bringing in new sponsors by looking beyond the usual suspects.
One screen we use to identify new prospects is synergy with existing sponsors. For example, if a client has an official spirits company on board, it provides a hook to attract new dollars from complementary brands such as the Rose's line of mixers from Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Include an activation overlay such as creating and promoting themed specialty cocktails, and you're on your way.

The news this week that Jack Daniel's is quitting its NASCAR team and Anheuser-Busch's Michelob Ultra is not renewing title of its LPGA Tour stop in Virginia are but two examples of the scores of sponsors dropping title of pro golf tournaments and motorsports teams.
It is a tough environment for everyone selling sponsorship, but among the most challenged are pro golf events and motorsports teams. Rightsholders in these sectors have often sold on media visibility, and that's a dangerous path for anyone in sponsorship.
On merely a CPM basis, sponsorship cannot successfully compete with advertising. When times were flush, marketers were willing to pay the higher CPM because intuitively they understood that sponsorship offered more. But intuition is no longer enough, and treating sponsorship as the "added value" piece and media as the main event, no longer works.
assets digital media NASCAR new media pro sports selling social media activation
I don't envy the folks at corporations who are the recipients of hundreds, if not thousands of unsolicited sponsorship proposals, especially when many of those pitches are ill-targeted and/or don't contain the information necessary to be effectively evaluated.
These sponsors are in their rights to expect that those pitching them will have done their homework, tailored their proposals and spelled the contact's name right. However, there is one "recommendation" that I increasingly hear sponsors make to properties that I strongly take issue with: the advice that properties should not follow up on a proposal and simply assume that if they don't hear back it means the prospect received it, read it and rejected it.
This is completely unrealistic. Would the salespeople at these sponsors' own companies ever be advised not to follow up with a prospect? I highly doubt it.
Most of us probably don't even remember learning to ride a bike or learning to swim. For those who did not learn how to do those things when they were young, trying to learn as an adult can be difficult. This typically comes with added fear, increased effort and requires more patience. Learning to do these things as an adult also usually takes a longer period of time.
Launching a new sponsorship program, or re-launching an old one, can be just like learning to swim as an adult. The problem is that many executives within organizations expect new revenue within weeks, even in this economy. The truth is it will not happen overnight. It can take several months to get your assets organized strategically for the sales process. In my experience, once the sales process starts in earnest it can take anywhere from 6-18 months to see new or increased revenue.

saw the price on those and said i got to have them.
i wanted in few other colors but something in the structure looked a bit strange. got a pair of black ones- they are extremely cute but walking on them is the most unstable thing ever!
I go with higher heels than that and similar- but this heel is not straight which makes the whole shoe become unstable. i stumbled few times while i wore them on set. this never happens to me... its all cause the heel structure.

This review is from: lenovo ThinkVision L2321x (4014HB6) Business black 23" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor with Pivot & Swivel 250 cd/m2 1000:1
Pros: Nice stand. DisplayPort input. Stable backlight.
Cons: Very narrow viewing angles. Poor black levels. Black text has bright right edge. Brightness control doesn't do much, have to change contrast to make a significant change.
Other Thoughts: I bought this mainly as a text monitor, knowing it is a TN panel with little hope of producing good colors. It would be great in this role except for two problems: 1. The horizontal viewing angles are so narrow that I cannot see the whole width of the screen from left to right correctly without moving my head. 2. Looking at black text on a light gray background the right edges of vertical lines all have bleeding white light.

Fed Up! Genetic Engineering, Industrial Agriculture, and Sustainable Alternatives. About 70% of the food we eat contains genetically modified ingredients and is not labeled. The biotechnology industry is spending $50 million a year to convince us that this technology is our only hope for feeding the world and saving the environment.

What's going on Saturday? (Power Trip, Total Control, Flesh World, Duran Duran, X, Dr. John, Weird Al, Goldie & more)
photo: Power Trip at BV-SXSW 2015 (more by Tim Griffin)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Power Trip, Foreseen, Red Death, The Pose @ Palisades
Texas' Power Trip, DC's Red Death and FInland's Foreseen all make killer crossover thrash, so if you dig that kinda stuff, this is a pretty amazing bill.
Total Control, Lust For Youth, Sannhet, Flesh World @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Total Control's Mikey Young is touring-adverse (he is a very busy mastering engineer among other things) so this short tour they're on is pretty rare. NYC is lucky with two chances to see them. Who knows if they'll tour again? Don't miss out. And if you're going, get there early for Flesh World who you can catch twice tonight (see below).
Flesh World, Survival, La Cruor, Scully @ The Acheron
Jess Scott, formerly of Brilliant Colors, is still writing C-86-style scratchy/jangly pop, but guitarist Scott Moore (Limp Wrist) brings a snarling punk edge to the mix. They're great. After their MHOW show with Total Control they head to Bushwick for this late-night show.
Out in the Streets Fest @ Vander Ende-Onderdonk House
This is the third year for this two day festival which features mostly local bands but happens at the lovely and historic Vander Ende-Onderdonk house. Mr. Twin Sister headline tonight.
Duran Duran @ The Capitol Theatre
Yes, they have a guest-filled new album, Paper Gods, but let's face it the newest song most people want to hear from Duran Duran is "Ordinary World" with the biggest excitement reserved for prime '80s MTV hits like "Planet Earth," "Rio," "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Save a Prayer." And to see them in a relatively small spot like The Capitol Theatre will surely be a treat for fans who bought these pricey tickets.
X @ City Winery
L.A. punk icons X are here for three shows at City Winery; sadly guitarist Billy Zoom is battling cancer and couldn't make the trip but part of the proceeds of these shows will go towards his medical bills.
Taylor Mac, Brooklyn United Marching Band @ Prospect Park Bandshell
Playwright and actor Taylor Mac presents a taste of his "24 Decade History of Popular Music," which is "a politically-charged, enormous-of-spirit and outrageously entertaining romp through 100 years of culture as seen through songs that range from Tin Pan Alley to the birth of rock 'n' roll to disco and beyond." It's free.
Lazyeyes, The Teen Age, Dead Stars @ Rough Trade
Lazyeyes and The Teen Age just put out a split cassette and have been on tour together. Tonight's the homecoming show. If you dig, melodic dreamy pop with a little bite (plus '90s-style indie rock courtesy Dead Stars) do check it it out.
Weird Al Yankovic @ The Paramount
Weird Al finally won a long-overdue Grammy this year for Mandatory Fun, and is now out on his "Mandatory Tour." Expect multiple outrageous costume changes and all the hits.
Summer Thunder w/ Jonathan Toubin, The Baby Shakes, Mighty Fine, PMS and the Moodswings @ UnionPool
Jonathan Toubin of Soul Clap fame hosts today's edition of Union Pool's free afternoon Summer Thunder series, featuring a lineup of groovy bands. PMS and the Moodswings, by the way, is a new band featuring members of Habibi and the Nouvellas.
Steely Dan & Elvis Costello @ PNC Bank Arts Center
Steely Dan get top billing and a longer set (sorry Elvis Costello fans), but both have been delivering sets crammed with favorites. This doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a Saturday at all.
Tiga, Bob Moses, Gavin Russom, Via App, Frank & Tony @ MoMA PS1 (Warm Up)
Warm Up continues with long-running Montreal producer Tiga in the headlining spot, up and coming Canadian dark pop duo Bob Moses, and more. Jaako Eino Kalevi was supposed to be on this one too, but had visa issues.
Dr. John and The Night Trippers, Amy Helm @ Central Park SummerStage
The legendary Dr. John saw his 40+ year reinvigorated this current decade with the release of 2012's Dan Auerbach-produced Locked Down. He since followed it with a Louie Armstrong tribute album last year. Expect stuff from both of those, and some classics too. This is a free daytime show (3 PM start).
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Teen Men @ Bowery Ballroom
Remember back when it was a thing that bands would be called "blog rock"? CYHSY were one of those bands, thanks to the quick success of their blog-hyped debut. The blogs have been less kind to its followups, but for anyone who wants to relive those mid-2000s days, the band are playing the debut in full on this tour. They're at Bowery Ballroom tonight and tomorrow.
The Slackers @ Rocks Off Concert Cruise
The Slackers have been cranking out their brand of ska for over two decades, and tonight they'll do it on a boat.
Full Moon Fest @ Brooklyn Mirage
This EDM-centric fest is back in a new location, the apparently gigantic Bushwick warehouse space Brooklyn Mirage. French pop artists Yelle headlines.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Joy Riding, Portuguese Band @ The Studio at Webster Hall
SSLYBY have been putting out peppy indie pop albums on Polyvinyl for ten years now, their latest being this year's The High Country.
Lordz of Brooklyn, Meyhem Lauren, The Wilding Incident @ Gramercy Theatre
You may not hear about them as much these days (their last album was 2006), but former Brooklyn staples Lordz of Brooklyn are playing this NYC show with the great newer Queens rapper Meyhem Lauren and The Wilding Incident (featuring Sacha Jenkins of The White Mandingos).
Goldie, Doc Scott, Lenzman @ Slake
20 years ago, Goldie released Timeless, an album which helped introduce ambience in drum & bass and prominently featured live vocals from Diane Charlemagne. The title couldn't have been more prophetic.
Fox Millions Duo, Black Pus, Ryan Sawyer @ Secret Project Robot
They're both in lots of projects, but Fox Millions Duo brings Liturgy/Guardian Alien drummer Greg Fox together with Oneida/Man Forever drummer Kid Millions for a whole lot of percussive talent.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Flogging Molly going on a St. Patrick's Day cruise again (with Rancid, Frank Turner, Fishbone, The Slackers & more)
photo: Flogging Molly at Osheaga 2013 (more by Toby Tenenbaum)
Flogging Molly are once again set to sail away where no ball and chain can keep them from the roarin' waves. In other words, they're bringing back their St. Patrick's Day weekend Salty Dog Cruise in 2016, which debuted this past March.
They've got a bunch of friends coming along with them, including Rancid (who are playing so many punk fests lately), repeat offender Frank Turner, alt-metal shapeshifters Fishbone, Dropkick Murphys offshoot Street Dogs, celtic punks The Tossers, British folk singer Beans on Toast, the star-studded Punk Rock Karaoke, Indiana country blues band Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, ska vets The Slackers, British folk punks Skinny Lister, the Flogging Molly-related Bunny Gang, long-running Arizona punks Authority Zero, bluegrass punks Larry and His Flask, and more. Full lineup below.
You can book your reservation and get more information at the cruise's website, and drinks are complimentary which might be more important than the actual lineup, given the weekend they're setting sail.
Flogging Molly also have an upcoming tour with Gogol Bordello and Mariachi El Bronx.
Full Salty Dog Cruise lineup, flyer, and some more info, below...

What's going on Saturday? (Fat White Family, Lemuria, Nick Lowe, Widowspeak, Quilt, Com Truise, Aye Nako & more)
Fat White Family at Baby's All Right earlier this month (more by Gretchen Robinette)
Quilt @ BVSXSW 2014 (more by Tim Griffin)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Fat White Family, PC Worship, Degreaser, Sunflower Bean @ Baby's All Right
Now calling Brooklyn their home base, UK band Fat White Family will be rubbing their scent on local venues more regularly -- which is good for music fans and maybe bad for clubs' cleaning staffs. It should be said that despite their (deserved) wild rep, FWF have a load of great songs and keep it together live, despite antics.
Matisyahu @ Best Buy Theater
Happy Hanukkah! Matisyahu is here to celebrate the holiday with his annual Festival of Light tour.
Lemuria, Slothrust, Aspiga, The Young Leaves, Prince @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Buffalo's Lemuria have been one of the most consistent makers of indie punk for years now, and they haven't slowed down yet. Their tourmates Prince, just so there's no confusion, are also a punk band, not the singer.
Aye Nako, Heathers, Littler, Fern Mayo, Vagabon @ Shea Stadium
Another good place for indie punk fans to be tonight is Shea Stadium where Brooklyn's great Aye Nako headline.
Widowspeak, Quilt, What Moon Things @ Glasslands
Widowspeak and Quilt have both played Glasslands numerous times over the years and share and share a folky quality to their music. (If you haven't heard Quilt's album from this year, do remedy that). Tonight they both say goodbye to the venue that's last night is New Year's Eve.
Com Truise, Figgy, Nitemoves @ Glasslands
The end of Glasslands is near, so get there while you still can. Tonight's is a dancefloor-moving bill headlined by Com Truise.
Nick Lowe, Los Straightjackets, The Cactus Blossoms @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
You may remember that Nick Lowe released holiday album, Quality Street, last year. He'll be in the spirit again this year, here for two shows, this being the second.
Orden Mundial, Mommy, Blank Spell, Pox @ The Acheron
Hardcore band Orden Mundial are in town all the way from Spain. Tonight's their second of two NYC shows this weekend, so catch them before they're back on the other side of the Atlantic.
Chris Gethard, Dan Licata, Elsa Waithe, BK Beefcakes, Shannon O'Neill, Conner O'Malley @ Union Hall
This show is called "Chris Gethard Fucking Loves Weirdos," which should give you the general tone of what to expect.
Tyler The Creator, Taco @ Starland Ballroom
Odd Future's krazy kid Tyler the Creator headlines NYC's Terminal 5 soon. That's sold out, but if you didn't get tickets there's also a chance to see him in NJ tonight.
The Slackers, Mephiskapheles @ Bell House
Happy Skalidays! Celebrate them right with The Slackers and Mephiskapheles.
Awkwafina, Bebe Panthere, Les Bonhommes @ Knitting Factory
Entertaining NYC rapper Awkwafina (known for hits like "My Vag" and "NYC Bitche$") headlines this bill. It's worth getting there early for the Deerhoof/Rainer Maria-related Les Bonhommes too.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

What else?
What's going on Saturday? (Dream Syndicate, Yvette, Johnny Marr, Ryan Adams, Yumi Zouma, Vorde, Fred Falke, more)
Yvette at The Studio at Webster Hall (more by Chris La Putt)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Special Guest, Yvette, Big Ups, Ovlov @ Death By Audio
With a week left of shows, Death by Audio is really promising to make their suprise special guests special. Last night was Ty Segall. Who will it be tonight? Don't worry yourselves too much about it -- borderline industrial rock duo Yvette, smartass punks Big Ups and Connecticut's Ovlov are three reasons to go already
Johnny Marr, Meredith Shelton @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Recalling his prolific days with The Smiths, Johnny Marr has banged out two albums in a year's time. They're not at his 1985 peak, but they're not bad either. He's a lot of fun live, and peppers hit sets with oldies -- any chance to see him play "The Headmaster Ritual" is worth considering
The Dream Syndicate, EZTV @ Rough Trade
One of the leaders in LA's early-'80s "Paisley Underground" scene, The Dream Syndicate looked to The Velvet Underground and other '60s bands while most were playing with synthesizers. Broken up since the late '80s, Wynn reformed the band in 2012 with '80s-era members Dennis Duck and Mark Walton, plus Miracle 3 guitarist Jason Victor and they've been playing sporadically ever since. This is their first NYC show in 25 years.
Ryan Adams, Butch Walker @ Carnegie Hall
Ryan Adams has been a busy guy this year with a new solo album, collaborating on stage with Bob Mould, covering Foreigner and Bryan Adams, and whatever else it is he's up to. He's also on tour now and tonight is the first of five NYC-area shows, two of which are solo gigs at Carnegie Hall.
Tei Shi, Yumi Zouma, Oyinda @ Baby's All Right
New Zealand's Yumi Zouma mix synthpop and indiepop styles, which makes Cascine an ideal label for the band. They play tonight with Brooklyn (by way of Argentina, Vancouver and Montreal) singer Tei Shi who makes appealingly danceable pop.
Guantanamo Baywatch, Fletcher C. Johnson, Scully @ Baby's All Right
After the Tei Shi/Yumi Zouma show, hang around Baby's for something less shiny and more garagey.
Naam, White Hills, No Way, Blackout, It's Not Night, It's Space, Chimpgrinder, Wonderbreed, Eidetic Seeing, Mountain God, Blackest, Grizzlor @ Paper Box
There's some cool bands on this all-day show that they're calling Sludgefeast, but most notably it's the last show by psych rockers NAAM before they go on hiatus. Catch 'em while you still can.
Dustin Wong & Takako Minekawa, Fascinator, Cuddle Formation @ Cake Shop
Former Ponytail guitarist Dustin Wong moved back to his childhood home of Japan after completing his trilogy of loop-based albums and began collaborating with musician Takako Minekawa. Using a specially designed interface that allows them to switch from guitar to keyboards to sampler to vocals, their music is creative and playful. Tonight's show is with Australian ex-pat Fascinator, whose eccentric brand of pop is definitely worth arriving early.
Antarctigo Vespucci, Hard Girls, Mikey Erg, Turnip King @ Palisades
Antarctigo Vespucci is the collaborative project of Fake Problems singer Chris Farren and former Bomb the Music Industry singer Jeff Rosenstock. Their tourmates Hard Girls make superior indie punk, making this a very good double billed tour. Great support at this show too from punk's everywhere man Mikey Erg and local indie rockers Turnip King.
Fred Falke, Alex English @ Cielo
Get on those dancing shoes and head to Cielo where the great French house producer Fred Falke will handle the boards.
Tim Sweeney, Tom Noble, Palmbomen @ Cameo
Tonight is the 15th anniversary party for Tim Sweeney's "Beats in Space" show which has aired every airs every Tuesday on WNYU. Tim was instrumental in shaping the early days of DFA so expect a night of that style disco and dance.
Supersuckers, Hail Action @ Knitting Factory
Supersuckers have been putting out quality cowpunk, garage rock and more since the early '90s, and this year they returned with Get the Hell, their first album since 2008. Shit will be kicked tonight.
Holy Sons, Elisa Ambrogio, Ryan Sawyer @ Union Pool
Good show all around with Emil Amos' (Grails, Om) trippy Holy Sons project, Elisa Ambrogio of noise trio Magik Markers who makes significantly less noisy material on her new solo debut, and well-matched opener Ryan Sawyer.
Shilpa Ray, Northern Arms, D'NT @ Cameo Gallery
Punk blues rocker Shilpa Ray is one of Brooklyn's many always-consistent gems. Tonight's as good a chance as any to catch her live.
Suzanne Vega @ Joe's Pub (2 shows)
She may be be best known for "Luka" and "Tom's Diner" (both from 1987's Solitude Standing) but Suzanne Vega's gift for songwriting has continued since. She plays an early and a late show tonight.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Mini Mansions @ Bowery Ballroom
This quirky Detroit pop duo are fond of high concepts, elaborate stage shows, and big hooks. Their first of two NYC shows this week.
Vorde, Haethen, KAMA RUPA, Drowning The Virgin Silence @ Acheron

It's another night of food, drinks, arcade games, shopping and indie rock at Brooklyn Night Bazaar. Free to get in.
Phil Lesh @ Capitol Theatre
As any Deadhead can tell you, Phil Lesh plays the favorites and his current band does it well. It's another night of his never-ending residency at The Cap, and these shows are always a good time.
Seu Jorge @ Blue Note
Best known here in America for acting in City of God and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (which he scored using only acoustic, Portuguese David Bowie covers), but Brazilian artist Seu Jorge has been making music since the '90s. This is part of his eight-night run at the Blue Note.
Skanksgiving 2014 w/ The Pietasters, The Slackers, Mephiskapheles, Westbound Train, Avon Junkies, Backyard Superheroes @ Starland Ballroom

Tonight's the record release show for the new Heaven's Jail album, Ace Called Zero. Says producer Phosphorescent of main man Francesco Ferorelli, "He has the ability to casually sneak complex imagery and metaphor into a deceptively simple package. It's just great songwriting. Simple as that."
Reigning Sound, Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens, The Above @ Bowery Ballroom
Reigning Sound signed to Merge for this year's Shattered LP, which is more quality garage rock from the long-running band. This show's doubly exciting since Daptone-signed soul traditionalist Naomi Shelton opens.

Banner Pilot
Minneapolis punks Banner Pilot recently put out their new album, Souvenir, via Fat Wreck Chords.

Everything is Terrible, Fred Armisen, The Slackers, Harry & the Potters and more holiday shows at The Bell House
It's that time of year again, judging by the posts on this site today, with lots of Holiday-themed shows coming up. Unsurprisingly, The Bell House lives for this kind of yuletide cheer and has about a dozen or so holiday shows lined up in the next month. Here's a rundown.
First is the Everything's Terrible! Holiday Special 2012 which happens December 12 (tickets). If you think the Star Wars Holiday Special is the worst Christmas-related thing television has ever birthed, the Everything's Terrible folks will likely prove you wrong. For an early taste, there's a trailer for the crap extravanga below, along with a list of all dates for this ironic roadshow which is touring both coasts at the same time.
On the next night (12/13) it's The Party Machine's 2nd Annual Holiday Benefit Blowout with hosts Arden Myrin and Lisa Delarios with guests Jon Glaser, Chris Gethard, Sheng Wang, Janeane Garofalo and Adira Amram & the Experience with proceeds going to Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue and Red Cross Disaster Relief for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Tickets are $12 and still available but probably not for long -- don't delay.
More funny stuff (with music): On December 16, Fred Armisen hosts The Snow Ball Ball: A Winter Formal To Benefit 826NYC, with guest DJs Tunde Adebimpe and Peter Hale of Here We Go Magic. Tickets are still available.
And for ska fans there's The Slackers Christmas Celebration on 12/22 which also celebrates the band's 20th anniversary. The show also features The Frightnrs, Sammy K, and Caz & the Day Laborers. Tickets are still available.
Wait there's still more holiday fun at The Bell House: for burlesque fans there's Doc Wasabassco's Birthday Celebration And All-Holiday Party on 12/14 (tickets); for the wizards and muggles out there, you can celebrate at The Harry Potter Yule Ball 2012 on 12/15 with Harry And The Potters, Potter Puppet Pals, The Whomping Willows, and The Home Alones (tickets); later that night (12/15) it's The Rub's Holiday party with Eleven & Ayres and special guests Kon & 7L' and for those who need some twang in their stocking, on December 16 it's The Suzi Shelton Band's Fourth Annual Rockin' Holiday Party with Amelia Robinson From Mil's Trills (tickets).
Everything Is Terrible trailer and flyer for the Snowball Ball are below.

Since we last spoke, official word came back regarding Ari Up's untimely passing: it was cancer. In her memory and the memory of the tunes she left behind, Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg is hosting a show on January 16th called "Ari Up Punky Reggae Birthday Party" featuring appearances from members of The Slits, The Slackers, PiL, as well as Neneh Cherry and many others. Tickets are on sale.
Being that Ari Up was John Lydon's step-daughter, it's not surprising that her passing had an effect on him:
John Lydon has delayed sessions to record new material with Public Image Ltd following the death of his step-daughter, The Slits singer Ari Up.PiL becamse active again recently, and toured through NYC in May.
"We were going to go into the studio but in light of my step-daughter's death, I really can't be doing that at the moment," Lydon said [around November 22nd].
"I don't want to leave my wife alone for any length of time right now. So the music side has had to be held." -[BBC]
Another recent tribute to Ari Up happened in the form of Kathleen Hanna and The Raincoats covering a Slits song at MoMA. Video of that, with info on upcoming Kathleen Hanna-related events, can be found HERE.
Members of The Slackers are involved in the Ari Up show at MHoW, and the band has a show of their own in NYC next week. Tickets are still available for The Slackers at Brooklyn Bowl on December 18th. The show is one of two December dates for the NYC ska band. The second is New Years Eve in San Francisco, and the first date on a larger tour for the band who will be pretty busy through June. Openers for the Brooklyn show are Frighteners, the Forthights, and DJ 100dBs with special guest appearances by Greg Lee (Hepcat) & Jesse Wagner (Aggrolites).
All Slackers dates and some videos below.

My recent contributions to BV have afforded me the opportunity to wax nostalgic about my checkered past (SKA reference), so why should this article be any different? When I was living in Greenpoint back in 2002, I had two important neighbors in my building; Jeff Mangum and Dave Karcich. And while Mangum had zero impact on my life, Karcich had more of an impact than he would ever know. You see, in high school and college, one of my favorite bands to see was Bim Skala Bim and my favorite venue to see them in was the Paradise. Trombone player Vinny Nobile's phenomenal stage presence made him an icon to my friends and me. Vinny ended up leaving Bim, heading to NYC to form a band called The Pilfers with ex-Toasters vocalist Coolie Ranx. A little ways into their existence, the Pilfers ended up losing their bass player and their drummer. Dave Karcich, former drummer for Connecticut based Ska band Spring Heeled Jack, filled the drumming void. And like zillions of other bands, The Pilfers too saw their eventual dissolution (only to reform just a few years ago).
After the Pilfers, Vinny Nobile and Dave Karcich went on to form a band called Cenzo who, at the time when I met Dave, was kind of on their back burner. As a result of my living down the hall from Dave, and Dave's relationship with Vinny, I eventually got tight with them both, which blew the minds of the folks I stiil kept in touch with from high school/college. Sadly, my relationship with Dave was short lived. After recording my band's demo EP, Dave suffered a massive cerebral aneurysm and passed away on April 5th, 2002. Eventually, Vinny hired me to take Dave's place on drums in Cenzo and for a short while I enjoyed playing sold out shows with Cenzo in support of acts including The Toasters, The Pietasters, Murphy's Law, and The Slackers.
A lot of people give a knee-jerk scoff at SKA because it's apparently unfashionable; admittedly, the thought of skinny ties, checker-accented gear, black and white wing tips, pork pie hats, and massive sideburns makes me feel uneasy. But some of the bands from back in the day, back in my day, continue to bring serious talent and awesome sounds to those of us who are still willing to listen. So I was pretty skankingly excited to see that SKA powerhouses The Toasters and The Pietasters will be sharing a bill with Hub City Stompers and more for an all ages show at BB Kings on 10/29/10. People with even a casual interest cannot pass up the opportunity to see these third wave legends in the same house.
More tour dates below, including Bim Skala Bim, The Slackers, The Pietasters (who also play a boat tonight), and The Toasters.

As a former Boston skinhead with a former penchant for Ska and hardcore, it's safe to say that The English Beat's music radiated from my car speakers more than a few times as I delivered pizza back in the day. Though they weren't my favorite band of the genre, when they're good, they are freaking amazing. Now as an older skinhead-via-heredity, it's with mixed levels of enthusiasm that I announce that Dave Wakeling and the English Beat are embarking on a pretty serious Summer/Fall North American Tour, eventually skanking their way to Webster Hall on August 21, 2010. Bad Manners is supporting, which is AWESOME. Tickets go on sale July 9, 2010 (Amex presale begins today, July 7th, at noon).
Why the mixed levels of enthusiasm? Well, I am no purist, but I can't really get jazzed about seeing a band, any band, with only one original member. And though it is a scientific fact that David Wakeling (English Beat founding member and currently the only original member) is an EXTREMELY awesome guy, I'm not sure he necessarily deserves his title of "Legendary King of Ska". I can think of about 10 'ska legends' before he would even enter the picture, and ain't one of them a white dude from the UK. Legendary? Maybe. King? Hell no.
That said, between the Bosstones coming to Irving Plaza, The Pietasters playing on a boat (tickets), The Slackers also playing on a boat (tickets), and more Ska shows inevitably popping up, it's gonna be a good season for skankin' in NYC.

The slackers...
So I got to see the Specials in Leeds this may 24th. It was definitely a trip. I was sitting on a corner of the stage watching the band (minus Jerry Dammers). They came on the stage suddenly. John Bradbury did the opening drum fill of "Do the Dog" and they were off. They were launched into it like it was 1979. They seemed a little bit older but surprising well preserved. They mostly played the first album and the first half of the 2nd album. plus a couple songs off their eps.The Specials have confirmed their 2010 plans for a North American tour, with stops in L.A., Toronto, NYC and Coachella. In fact, the Terminal 5 show on April 21st is already sold out. Luckily, they've added another show at the same venue one night earlier, on April 20th. Tickets go on AmEx presale Wednesday, February 17th at noon. General sale starts the Friday at noon.They'll also be appearing on April 13th on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. All dates are below.
I got to say i was impressed. I had seen some of the half reunions in the 90s and been underwhelmed. This time they seemed like they had something to prove. Hearing Terry Hall do "Friday Night Saturday Morning" made me think about being 16 yrs old again. It made me think about nights driving around San Diego looking for booze and a party in the 1980s. Their energy was profound. It was like seeing the dance craze movie unfold in front of you. All those songs. "Too Much Too Young." "It Doesnt Make it allright." "Concrete Jungle." [Dave Hillyard of the Slackers]
The Slackers opened for the Specials when they played the UK last spring. While the Specials have a new live DVD on the way, the Slackers are prepping the releasing of their new album, The Great Rocksteady Swindle, set to come out April 20th on Hellcat. It'll be their first album on the label in four years. Recent releases, including 2009's well-done b-sides and versions comp Lost & Found, have been on their own labels - Indication, Special Potato and the online label Whatevski. The latter recently put out an NYC Taper-recorded bootleg of the band's pair of holiday gigs at Knitting Factory last December. When one of the opening bands didn't make it through the blizzard that hit on the second night, the Slackers stretched into two sets with songs from all seven of their studio records. The band's tour plans include shows in Japan, the West Coast and Europe. Those lead up to a hometown record release show on June 4th at Highline Ballroom. Tickets go on sale at noon.
Slackers tenor sax player Dave Hillyard (responsible for the review above) has been playing around NYC with his Rocksteady 7 project, a mostly-instrumental group that plays a mix of early ska, jazz and latin music. He's pared it down to 3 (sax, congas & bass) for his show tonight (2/12) at Sunny's Bar (253 Conover St) in Redhook (the same band played at Spike Hill on Monday). Clips of the Rocksteady 7 in action are below. Slackers' frontman Vic Ruggiero also has solo shows coming up. Those and all tour dates are below...

Kevin Seconds: ...Speaking of tours... have you been here and there doing any other touring solo wise with Shanti?The Slackers are hitting the road in December including two shows in their hometown of Brooklyn at Knitting Factory on Dec 18th and Dec 19th. Tickets are on sale for their 12/18 show with The Alrighters, Red Baraat, & 100 dBs, and for their 12/19 show with R-tronika, THE HARD TIMES, & 100 dBs.
Greg Attonito: Yeah. Shanti, Vic [Ruggiero] from The Slackers... It was a total blast. We ended up just doing a whole bunch of stuff together.
Kevin Seconds: Vic's phenomenal. (Laughs). It's like, I got to know him a little bit last year when we went out on the East Coast and we did some gigs together. I was completely blown away by his ability to pull it off musically and the kind of guy he is... I haven't been inspired like on a musical or an art level in a long time. He was just... wow, this guy is really living.
The Slackers recently dropped a new disc entitled Lost & Found:
Lost & Found is a cd that I culled from our archives going back as far 1998. It includes rarities from back in the day, alternative versions of slacker's classics, and "new" songs that we just finished from basic rhythms that were not completed (it took 5 years for us to finish one of these tracks...that's slackin!)The band has also released live recordings from both it's recent show at Bowery Ballroom in September, and their boat cruise this past summer. Pick up those and Lost & Found here.
So yeah, its a fun cd, new and old at the same time. But its all tracks that havent seen the light of day until right now!
