I realized last night while talking with some fellow robot builders that the Kondo Land Robot Competition videos so far make the obstacle course look much easier than it actually was. The hazards the robots have to conquer are far from trivial, and the fact that several of them almost made it all the way to the end is a real tribute to the design, implementation, strategy, and piloting ability of their robot designers.
Here's a look at some of the course difficulty:
You need to keep in mind that unlike ROBO-ONE, Robot Sumo, or Micromouse, the Kondo Land competitors didn't have the benefit of past experience, and none of them that we are aware of had the luxury of designing their robot from the ground up specifically for this particular course. Many of the robots were just a little too big for some of the hazards, or their feet couldn't get sufficient traction.
Of course that will change quickly. Now that they have seen and experienced the course first hand, and watched how others fared, they will be back with a vengence. At the 2nd Kondo Land Robot Competition scheduled for late January, we expect to see several new designs fined tuned to successfully navigate this unique robot challenge. Who knows, we might even see a ROBO-ONE style humanoid or two attempt it… That would be very cool.

3) Let's take a choice away from black Americans: No group in Congress does less to make the lives of its constituents better than the Congressional Black Caucus. Furthermore, no ethnic group in America has been more loyal to a political party with less to show for it than black Americans. So how can it be that the Democrat Party has been an absolute disaster for black Americans, yet it can count on 90% of the black vote every election? Simple; liberals have falsely convinced black Americans that Republicans hate them. That means no matter how bad it gets, Republicans can't even be considered as an option. This is how Democrats have managed to utterly destroy cities like Detroit without the populace even considering the Republican Party as an option.
4) You are disagreeing with a minority: The last thing any liberal wants is to argue an issue on its merits. Is it logical? Does it work? Is the benefit worth the cost? These things have NOTHING to do with why liberals support a position. So, one of the many ways they try to get people off track is to accuse any white person arguing with a minority of being racist. This is a neat trick, given that roughly 70% of Hispanic Americans and 90% of black Americans vote Democrat. Maybe Republicans should adopt this one and start accusing liberals who disagree with Allen West, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz of being racists.
5) Your attack is damaging us: When Republicans hit Democrats with any kind of damaging attack, it is inevitably called "racist." For example, this is how former MSNBC host Martin Bashir could say something as crazy as, "Republicans are using [the IRS scandal] as their latest weapon in the war against the black man in the White House. 'IRS' is the new 'N****r.'" It's an attempt to shut Republicans up.
6) You won't do what I want!: When you reward and encourage people who claim to be offended by trivia instead of laughing at them for being such pansies, it only encourages them to lash out more at people who hurt their precious feelings. Liberals who get their feelings hurt tend to respond by classifying the people who've egregiously offended them – by say, wearing a Redskins jersey, supporting lower taxes, or not voting for Obama -- as horrible human beings. Maybe they're part of the "patriarchy," "sexists," "homophobes" or "racists." In all fairness, if Hillary Clinton were running for President, liberals would be screaming about sexism all the time. However, since Obama is ruining the country at the moment, calling someone a "racist" is their preferred way of whining that people won't do what they want.
7) Stop trying to do outreach to black Americans: Democrats believe they own black Americans. That's why they hate black Americans who don't buy into that or white Republicans who want to do outreach. So, if a black Republican challenges the idea that black Americans are all helpless victims of racism who need crumbs from Democrats to survive, he'll be racially insulted. If a white Republican like Paul Ryan starts doing some outreach that could conceivably appeal to black Americans, he will immediately be attacked as a racist. The Democrats are absolutely committed to keeping black Americans under their thumbs and anyone who challenges that will be treated as a threat.

Better than I anticipated. A sleek and racy wine.Ruby-amber color. Aromas of cedar, cigar box,tobacco, mint and mushrooms, with hints of redfruits, follow though to a medium body with finetannins and a long, silky finish. Excellent now,but a little more bottle age would only improveit.--Latour vertical.Drink Dates: 2005+
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Medium garnet-colored with moderate amber at the edge, the 1978 Latour offers a spicy, saddle leather, tobacco, dried herb, earthy nose with sweet fruit trying to poke through. Interestingly, new oak also makes an appearance in the flavors. Medium-bodied, elegant, and fragrant, but possibly beginning to dry out, this fully mature wine requires consumption over the next decade.Drink Dates: 2000-2010
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Magnum. Like the 1983, one of the richer vintages in this collection, although as Engerer reminded us this was a vintage that looked for many weeks as though it would never ripen and was saved by some fine weather in September. Nowadays, crop thinning and greater risk-taking would probably result in riper wines. Sinewy and complex. Good for drinking now.Drink Dates: 1992-2010

From a book I'm reading called "The Far Corner"-Northwestern views on land, life,and literature. By John Daniel, 2009, Talking about John Muir he writes: As followers of the Grateful Dead like to remind us, quoting J.R,R, Tolkien, "Not all who wander are lost."
The April 30th edition of Rolling Stone has an article on the Dead with pics from their free Dead.net shows in NYC.

I wonder where Clairol got the idea for "Touch of Grey" for men? They could at least use the Dead's song in their commercial!
Type in The Dead on youtube and there is a video with short interview bites and footage from the Oct. 14 show. Enjoy

Report: Andy Reid to Kansas City Chiefs 'imminent'
Well so much for Andy Reid to Arizona.
According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora, the former Eagles coach is set to become the boss in Kansas City.
A deal between the Chiefs and Andy Reid is not imminent following latest meetings. expect sweeping changes and announcement likely today…
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
La Canfora meant to say it was "now imminent", which he tweeted out shortly after.
Reid will not be traveling to San Diego or Arizona. Issues of staff and structure were hashed out today.
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
It's a somewhat stunning turn of events if only for the fact that as of Tuesday it was being reported that Reid was all but certain to be taking the Arizona job. However, the most high-profile coach on the market reportedly had a good interview with the Chiefs Wednesday, and decided to cancel scheduled visits to Arizona and San Diego.
Though Reid may (or may not) have been their top choice, the Cardinals can now turn their attention to current defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who they have interviewed twice already, Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who they are scheduled to chat with this weekend, and Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who the Cardinals have asked for permission to talk to.
No matter where they go, Arizona Sports 620's Kyndra de St. Aubin is reporting the Cardinals will not be conducting interviews Thursday.

YET MORE AUTOMATIC INFORMATION-SHARING DEALS with British Crown dependencies will be hailed as a major step forward in the government's ongoing crusade against tax evasion and avoidance.
It's easy to see why. If knowledge is power, then meticulous information on thousands of tax miscreants from six more countries will increase HM Revenue & Customs' clout.
Further reading
The Cayman Islands, Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands have all agreed treaties and will pilot the automatic exchange of information bilaterally with the UK and multilaterally with the G5 - the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - over the next six months.
But at a time when the department is undergoing significant change, advisers are asking whether HMRC can effectively receive and act on the information provided to it.
HMRC is still in the early stages of running real-time PAYE, moving its website across to the a new domain and expanding its call centre services to compensate for the closure of its contact centres. So while the collective population of the countries is only around 211,000 - about the size of Hull - incorporating the forensic details from disparate tax systems immediately will prove no walk in the park.
Deals of this kind have been struck on a fairly regular basis over the past year or so, with Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and the G5 nations all entering into such agreements. Then there are the Swiss and Liechtensteiner facilities. They are, in of themselves, nothing new, and so HMRC must by now be used to dealing with such developments.
But practitioners rightly point out the taxman is under constant pressure to generate more revenue, despite being under-resourced both in terms of man-power and budget.
It's not a situation precisely conducive to maximising the tax take, and so many are suggesting the department takes a step back and spreads these projects out over a longer period of time, instead of attempting to introduce them all at once.
Admittedly, problems so far have only been minor, as we saw with a minor glitch in the first days of RTI, but slowing down will mitigate any chance of an information pile-up.
However, it may not end here, with the Treasury lining up deals with France, Germany, Italy and Spain as well as the UK by the Caribbean financial centres. While it's not quite a truly global initiative, the pool of knowledge available to the taxman is growing, and once assimilated, could prove a potent force against avoidance and evasion.

FFL: WR Notebook
Originally Published: October 13, 2005By Scott Engel | ESPN Fantasy Games
Every week, we take an in-depth look at the three major fantasy football skill positions. On Thursdays, we discuss wide receivers. Look for quarterbacks on Mondays, and running backs on Wednesdays. Horn ready to return? Fantasy leaguers and the Saints have been hurt by the recent absence of WR Joe Horn. He has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, leaving a void in many fantasy lineups, because Horn was the first wide receiver selected by many owners in their drafts.

Comments about DaKine Fall Line Double Ski Bag - Women's:
This bag replaces my son who always carried my ski bag. I'm planning to wheel it through the airport but a shoulder strap would have been nice but I knew it was lacking one. I like the girly design! It is not as high quality of material as my Rossi bag, it would have been nice to have cinch straps for the skis. It looks to have plenty of room to take all my ski gear. Now I just need winter to come so I can test it out.

Couple of windroses for this super nice wedded pair - I think it's easy to guess who of them will take which one.
I used pencil, watercolors and a bit of digital editing.

Treatment and Prevention of Bipolar Depression – Part 2
While antidepressants are not indicated in the treatment of bipolar depression as monotherapy, they are still commonly prescribed. Part two of this article looks at how the International Consensus Group viewed the evidence for antidepressant use in bipolar disorder treatment and episode prevention.
Antidepressants appear to have a very different risk and reward profile depending on the specific antidepressant or antidepressant class but there aren't enough studies for information on all possibilities. One thing we do know, based on a 10-year study though, is that those treated with antidepressant monotherapy had more switching to mania or hypomania and more suicide attempts than those who received an antidepressant with a mood stabilizer.
Antidepressant Therapy for Bipolar Depression
In one study, paroxetine (Paxil) monotherapy was compared with quetiapine (Seoquel) monotherapy in bipolar depression. Paroxetine was not much more effective than the placebo, while quetiapine was more effective than both.
One study showed no clear benefit when either paroxetine or venlafaxine (Effexor) was added to a mood stabilizer while another study did show improvement in a very similar scenario. However, the best evidence seems to be for adjunctive treatment with fluoxetine (Prozac). In one study, fluoxetine combined with olanzapine (Zyprexa) more successfully treated bipolar depression than either placebo or olanzapine alone.
(In the U.S., a fluoxetine / olanzapine combination is available in a single medication known as Symbyax.)
It's important to note that serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors like venlafaxine (Effexor) and tricyclic antidepressants appear to have a much greater risk of mood switching when compared to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (like paroxetine).
The biggest predictor of a positive response to adjunctive antidepressant treatment was a past history of positive response to antidepressants. Nonresponders:
- had a greater number of mood switches during prior antidepressant treatment
- had a greater number of total depressive and hypomanic episodes
The group noted that antidepressants should not be added when any manic symptoms are present due to the increased risk of mood switching. Patients with a history of rapid-cycling or mixed episodes are also not good candidates for antidepressant treatment.
Long-Term Use of Antidepressants in Bipolar Disorder
Varied evidence exists on the long-term use of antidepressants in bipolar depression treatment. In one meta-analysis, long-term adjunctive treatment with an antidepressant showed little value over mood stabilizer treatment alone and an (insignificant) trend towards mania was seen. However, it should be noted that these studies are mostly old and most often contained the use of tricyclic antidepressants, and not the newer agents.
In other studies, mood stabilizers with antidepressants were found to increase continued remission rates by up to 100 percent when compared to mood stabilizers alone.
One of the experts of the group noted that this more current data agreed with his clinical judgement and experience. According to this doctor, "in those patients for whom antidepressants are effective, continuing the antidepressant is reasonable." Continued antidepressant use may also be considered when a patient has a comorbidity like obsessive-compulsive disorder or anxiety.
Overall Recommendations for the Prevention of Bipolar Depression
The International Consensus Group ends with 10 recommendations in the prevention of bipolar depression. They are:
- Quetiapine, lithium and lamotrigine are recommended for acute depressive episodes. It's recommended that medications be continued from the acute stage into the maintenance stage.
- Taper antidepressants in the maintenance phase, if used, unless there is a history of relapse after discontinuing antidepressants.
- Lithium is recommended as the first line (and for those with suicidal ideation or previous suicide attempts), but should be administered at an adequate dosage for an adequate duration.
- Lamotrigine is preferred for patients with a predominance of depression, atypical depression, obesity or medication comorbidities. Lamotrigine is not recommended for those with mixed episodes. Lamotrigine is not recommended as monotherapy for those with depression with psychotic features, but can be combined with an antipsychotic. Lamotrigine is recommended for patients with a history of switching while on antidepressant treatment.
- Olanazpine and quetiapine is preferred for patients with a predominance of mania and without obesity or diabetes mellitus and who do not gain weight while taking the drug.
- Quetiapine plus lamotrigine, lamotrigine plus lithium, lithium plus quetiapine, or all three medications can be used in combination.
- Long-acting risperidone is appropriate for patients with adherence issues, but patients should be monitored for prolactin side effects.
- Valproate may be effective for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder.
- Maintenance electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be recommended for patients who are treatment-resistent.
10. Patient and family psychoeducation is encouraged.

The Future as the Prison We Purchased With Our Past
I'd love to leave links in my tracks through the woods
Jacki Dingfelder, 503-986-1723
Thirty people were arrested protesting against unmanned aerial drones outside Hancock Field Air Force National Guard Base.
Syracuse, New York, y'know…
After a series of sleepless rallies and workshops held in Syracuse over the weekend by the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars.The Post-Standard reports that the arrests Sunday came
A group of people lying on the base's driveway were arrested. Charges include disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and loitering. About 250 people had marched to the gates,
" some pounding drums and chanting." Yes, but what color were their knickers? That's for you ladies. Boys; are you athletic supporters? Of course you are.
But, getting arrested. Over. And. Over. And Over. Again. While the rest of the country's got its head in a bag of Doritos and its arse translated into ones and zeros that spark and flash across the sky over Wall Street, The City, Hong Kong, Singapore.
Look! Up in the sky! It's your arse making money for Rupert Murdoch.
They go to jail – and in some cases prison – for their beliefs, on your behalf, in the name of some semblance of a future…
And all the other arses should go jail. For being addicted that rots body and soul faster than heroin ever did.
And I should know…
The base is home to the 174th Attack Wing of the New York Air National Guard, which operates unmanned, armed drones. They are used for intelligence gathering and bombing ground targets.

Sunday Premier League promises to us are simply delicious. For an appetizer we meet Manchester United Liverpool'em. I do not know by now that these two teams do not like each other too. In the past, when even "The Reds" is counted in the fight for the world title matches have yet sporty overtones. Now players from Anfield rather have nothing to dream up to the podium at the end of the current Premier League games, but the challenge of the 'Red Devils' will definitely give 200% of their abilities. Already the first September's clash between the two teams has brought us a lot of emotion and wildly controversial. It will surely be the same. Sir Alex Ferguson says it is another important meeting, which will bring - for the victory - his team to the championship. Brendan Rodgers is more restrained in its opinions, perhaps because for him this is only the second start in a skirmish with Manchester United as Liverpool manager. Anyway we rather ensure that after this meeting, there will be no zawiedzonego that spent 90 minutes watching the show.

Solutions that keep your drivers, assets, and reputation safe.
One of the major concerns facing the transportation industry today is fleet safety. According to the FMCSA, driving behavior is the main contributor to accidents. Without safe drivers and driving behaviors, fleets can lose money as a result of increased accidents, higher insurance premiums, and fines for non-compliance. The numbers are staggering. The average cost of an injury accident involving a medium/heavy truck is $330,000. That cost can skyrocket to $3,000,000 if there is a fatality. Omnitracs' applications are designed to keep your vehicles, drivers, cargo, and reputation safe.

Frozlix: Why is white vinegar? Can one use just 27% acetic acid instead?
mre521: Someone has probably said this but it is VERY dangerous to use an open flame for the heat as was used in this video. Ethanol vapour is VERY flammable and if the set-up ends up with any leaks you could have a kitchen fire or an explosion if the vapours build up. Even with ventilation it is unsafe to use a gas stove to do this. It's even worse than that because if you were to cause a house fire using this by accident then it would be likely you would be discovered illegally distilling alcohol (which I think should not be illegal, people just need to be smart about it) and charged according to whatever laws of the land are in place. I'm sure the fire department is more likely to report you for something like this than say, a neighbour seeing the set-up through a window so beware.
Ohio Trucker Mr. Wright: By the way i love all your videos..watched tgem several times.
Ohio Trucker Mr. Wright: I'm a total beginner so I'm trying the vodka like you suggested question is I'm using a half a gallon of vodka will I get a half a gallon of vodka back out or will there be a lot less how do I know when it's all gone out of my pot
Glenn Jaenisch: Get to the point!!!!! Jesus!!!!!!
shizzlefoot: You've created a monster (me). The first video I watched regarding home distillation was one of yours. So I built myself a simple 7 gal pot still. I made a few runs with great results including the rice and rum recipes. Then I started watching other videos, learning about BokaBobs and liquid management, cooling mgmt and vapor mgmt stills. So after scouring craigslist for 2" copper pipe and a stainless keg and several runs to bLowes, I now have a 2"x 48" reflux/vapor mgmt still with two condensers and a parrot. I'm starting to wonder if maybe there's a recovery program for obsessive home distillers. I sure hope so. Otherwise I'm screwed. Lol
Timothy Leary: your explanation is too long. though good its a little much.. just my opinion for your future videos.. thank you for the video
Darius Zeal: for a better yield you could try using a thumper canister and a water cooled worm....with those you can hit proofs of 100+
Pablo shucone: How can you tell when the foreshots ends and the body starts
Halach Osiris León Casillas: I've already shared how to make your own easy still for your own hooch but for those who didn't catch it here it is again...A lot of pages have been taken down&replaced by less informative ones,,when it comes to brewing your own hooch(wines)that you need to distill into moonshine but go on Google&you'll find recipes there...I make my own tea&raisin wine but it'll take to long to sit&type out all instructions.....So find your own recipe...Personally my tea wine is again strong enough&doesn't really need distilled but if you enjoy a strong drink then here's how to make your own still...You can find plenty other methods on making stills on Google&YouTube.....
SpockMcoy Issmart: Can you make alcohol to burn, like in lamps? I'm not interested in killing myself drinking poison, but would be interested in making fuel. thanks!
dakota jernell: If you cannot find one with a pressure relief valve, would you recommend drilling a hole in place of it, then buying a fitting for your worm?
Lucien Macrose: With the smell of that vinigar, nobody will even notice the smell of the shine cooking off!
Drew b: Do u know what size the fitting was by chance?
Lars Rasmussen: you talk way to much dude! I could have explained it better in 2 minutes!
Matt Taylor: Why did my whole run come out milky? Nothing that came out was clear
Tommy Mac: Might wanna be careful with that gas stove their bro, Alcohol fumes are flameable and could ignite
Darius Zeal: Dont ever make mooshine without knowing about throwing away the deadly part of the run,,,,,
During the distillation process methanol is concentrated at the start of the run because it has a lower boiling point than ethanol and water. The boiling point of methanol is approximately 148 degrees farenheit, which is quite a bit lower than ethanol (the good stuff). This means that methanol (148F boiling temp) will start to boil before the ethanol (174F boiling temp). This is why moonshiners always throw out the first bit of shine they produce from each run....
Drinking the Methanol can kill you.....or make you go blind....
If anything is produced by the still before temperature reaches 174 degrees, it's methanol. Discard it. Again, methanol boils at a lower temperature than ethanol and will concentrate at the beginning of distillation....
How much initial product to discard:
1 gallon batch - discard the first 2/3 of a shot glass
5 gallon batch - discard the first 1/3 of a pint jar
10 gallon batch - discard the first 3/4 of a pint jar
Regardless of still temp, it's a good idea to always follow this rule of thumb. Methanol or not, the first stuff to come off the still tastes and smells like rubbing alcohol. It's by far the worst stuff in the entire run and it isn't going to impress anyone.

Arcade Fire doc 'The Reflektor Tapes' premiering at 2015 Pop Montreal before North American release ++ fest's full lineup
The 2015 edition of Pop Montreal is coming up in less than a month (September 16 - 20) and festival organizers have recently made a few additions to the already robust lineup. Perhaps most interesting is that Pop's film fest will have the world premiere of director Kahlil Joseph' Arcade Fire documentary The Reflektor Tapes which promises:
The film recontextualizes the album experience, transporting the viewer into a kaleidoscopic sonic and visual landscape. It charts the band's creative journey as they lay foundations for the album in Jamaica, record in Montreal and play an impromptu gig at a Haitian hotel on the first night of Carnival, before bringing their breathtaking live show to packed arenas in Los Angeles and London. The Reflektor Tapes blends never-before-seen personal interviews and moments captured by the band to dazzling effect, and features 15 minutes of exclusive unseen footage, filmed only for cinema audiences.That is just ahead of the film's North American September 23 release date. It will be playing in NYC at Sunshine Cinema, BowTie Cinema Chelsea 9, East 86th St Cinema 4 in Manhattan and Williamsburg Cinema in Brooklyn. and tickets are on sale now for many of those screenings. You can watch the trailer for that below.
The full music lineup has been finalized and new additions include Seattle garage rock legends The Sonics, Doldrums, UK band All We Are, Prison Garde (the latest moniker of electronic musician Vaughn Robert Squire aka Sixtoo) and more. Other artists playing this year's Pop Montreal include Built to Spill, Giorgio Moroder, The Cribs, Mikal Cronin, Godflesh, Will Butler, Babes in Toyland, Thurston Moore, Stars of the Lid, Cannibal Ox, Besnard Lakes (performing as a 17-piece "orchestra"), Viet Cont, The Orb, and more.
There are also lots of panel discussions and lectures happening via the Pop Symposium, including one with Canadian songwriter Andy Kim (the man behind The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" and other bubblegum hits),
Festival passes and day passes are still available. Full Pop Montreal music and film lineups are listed below.

Arcade Fire's Will Butler has been pursuing his solo career this year, having visited NYC a few times. He'll return this Wednesday (7/1) at The Well for the venue to celebrate Canada Day, here renamed Canada D'eh, with fellow Canadian bands July Talk and Walrus. It's free with RSVP, and they'll have a Canadian breakfast (aka pancakes with maple syrup), Canadian whiskey and Canadian craft beer. Doors are at noon and the music starts at 5 PM.
Will's only other upcoming dates at the moment are Moscow's Red Park Festival and Pop Montreal. Watch the video for "Anna" off his solo LP, below.
Will's brother and bandmate Win will be in NYC under his DJ moniker, DJ Windows 98, on 8/7 at LPR. Tickets for that are still available.

Sasquatch 2015 day 2 in pics: Spoon, Modest Mouse, Father John Misty, Decemberists, Sylvan Esso, Fuzz, Will Butler, more

Spoon / Fuzz / Modest Mouse / Father John Misty / Syvan Esso / Diarrhea Planet
While Friday and Sunday nights are topped with EDM, Saturday belonged unequivocally and inarguably to good ol' rock and roll.Day 2 of the 2015 Sasquatch Music Festival, which happened Memorial Day Weekend in Gorge, WA, featured such heavy-hitters as Spoon, Modest Mouse, Decemberists, and Father John Misty, as well as Arcade Fire's Will Butler, Sylvan Esso, and greasy-haired upstarts Diarrhea Planet, King Tuff and Ty Segall's proto-metal trio, Fuzz.
It climaxed early with a face-melting set from five-guitar band Diarrhea Planet, who brought every rock god dream to fruition: Head banging. Windmilling. Soloing behind your head. Soloing with your teeth. A dusty mosh pit kicked up in front of the stage, the wild-eyed youth unleashing their inner demons, all to the ritualistic howl of the electric guitar...
...The onslaught of guitars continued after sunset and well into the night, with veteran indie rock acts The Decemberists and Modest Mouse anchoring the main stage. The day concluded with a great set from fellow veteran band Spoon, but by that late the crowds had largely given up on guitar rock, trading it in for the synthesized sounds of ODESZA. - [Oregon Live]
Pictures from Sasquatch day 1 are HERE, and we'll have photos from the fest's final two days soon. More pics from day 2 below...

What's going on Sunday? (FKA Twigs, Jay Z, Black N' Blue Bowl, Patti Smith, Dorthia Cottrell, The Maze & more)
photo: FKA Twigs @ Webtster Hall (more by Amanda Hatfield)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
FKA twigs @ Brooklyn Hangar
FKA twigs has always incorporated dance and fashion into her persona, but apparently these three shows at Brooklyn Hanger are going to be more that a concert. Titled "Congregata," she says they're "an insight into my mind, my roots, my inspirations. a swelling conceptual performance using dance, performance and my music to date to create a world that I want you to share with me." Wearing Alexander McQueen and armed with 10 dancers, this two-hour performance piece should be something. Sold out.
Skate & Surf Festival @ Asbury Park Oceanfront
Skate & Surf may have gotten the rep as being a strictly pop punk festival, but it's more diverse than that and this year's lineup is pretty impressive. Among the big names on today's bill are Jersey heartland punks The Gaslight Anthem and the grungy Manchester Orchestra, and elsewhere there's recently-reunited late '90s emo/punk bands Small Brown Bike and Hot Rod Circuit, recently-reunited post-hardcore/metalcore bands Poison the Well and From Autumn to Ashes, cathartic rockers Beach Slang, the dead-serious post-rocky Pianos Become the Teeth, killer noisy/melodic indie rockers Cloud Nothings, the youthful nasal-voiced Front Bottoms and Modern Baseball, and still many more.
Black N' Blue Bowl @ Webster Hall
While Skate & Surf goes down just outside of NYC, a different kind of punk festival goes down right in the heart of the city. Today's lineup includes a reunion from Revelation Records hardcore boundary pushers Burn, another reunion from crossover thrash vets Crumbsuckers, hardcore lifers Sick Of It All, Boston traditionalists The Rival Mob, Dave Smalley (performing Dag Nasty, All and Down By Law), and many more.
Patti Smith, Loudon Wainwright, Kaki King, Nicole Atkins & more @ City Winery
NYC punk legend Patti Smith, singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright, guitar great Kaki King and more come together for this Nepal benefit which Patti's daughter Jesse organized.
Dorthia Cottrell, Nate Hall, Serpentskirt @ Acheron
With Windhand, Dorthia Cottrell makes crushing melodic doom, but on her own she favors an acoustic guitar over walls of distortion, and makes something closer to psychedelic folk. Her tour with Nate Hall of US Christmas hits NYC tonight.
Frankie Cosmos, Gingerlys, Lost Boy? @ Brooklyn Bow Wow
Brooklyn Bow Wow is a doggy day care, and they're describing tonight's show as "a first ever pups & humans concert." They add, "there will be a bar and plenty of pooches to jam out with." Twee folk singer Frankie Cosmos headlines.
Ende Tymes Festival @ Outpost Artists Resources
NYC's "festival of noise and abstract liberation" wraps up tonight with Jeff Donaldson, Long Distance Poison with Jonas Bers, Kyle Eyre Clyd, Gen Ken Montgomery, and many more.
Mandolin Orange, Leif Vollebekk @ City Winery
Old-timey folk/country/bluegrass duo Mandolin Orange team up with underrated Canadian singer/songwriter Leif Vollebekk for this quality double bill.
Jay Z @ Terminal 5
This is Jay Z's second of two shows this week at Terminal 5, a very small venue for a guy who's played multiple nights in a row at Barclays Center. And on top of that, he's promising old songs and deep cuts that he doesn't play live often, which is a pretty amazing treat for a guy with twelve albums ranging from good to great, who usually does hits-filled setlists. The only way in was to enter through TIDAL's contest which is now closed.
EMEFE, Will Butler (DJ Set), The Rad Trads @ Baby's All Right
NYC band EMEFE make widescreen funk-pop that sounds a bit like if Talking Heads got their start at Minneapolis' First Avenue instead of CBGB. Their just-released eponymous LP is a concept album based on French Revolution-era writer Jacques Lusseyran's book And There Was Light (stream it below), and they celebrate tonight. Arcade Fire's Will Butler is your DJ.
And The Kids @ Elvis Guesthouse
Boston-area band And The Kids make what they call "accessible unconscious existential indie glitter popsicle crisis music." You can hear exactly what that sounds like on their debut album, Turn To Each Other (streaming below), and at Elvis Guesthouse tonight.
Miho Hatori, Zulu P, Diamond Terrifer/M. Beharie DJs @ 'The Maze' at SELECT Art Fair
Ever wanted to see a bunch of bands play inside a giant maze on the roof of the former Dia Center building? Well you're in luck, as the You Are Here Festival does just that. It's part of the SELECT Art Fair, and tonight's headlined by Cibo Matto's Miho Matori.
American Nightmare, Sick Feeling @ Saint Vitus
Missed American Nightmare at Skate and Surf this weekend? Don't miss this just announced intimate Brooklyn show!

Following his show at Bowery Ballroom, The Arcade Fire's Will Butler played his second of two NYC shows on Saturday night (3/7) at Baby's All Right. (He had tested out songs from his album at Baby's back in November.) A slightly shorter set than at Bowery, he still played most of his brand-new solo debut, Policy, plus a bunch of other songs including the ones he wrote based on headlines in The Guardian, and his cover of Violent Femmes' "American Music." Setlist below.
Tourmates TEEN opened the show. More pictures below...

Will Butler @ Bowery Ballroom 3/5/2015
"Both out of necessity and philosophy, I wanted it to be quick and dirty," Butler said, reached this week in New York, where he and his new band (including zero Arcade Fire members but featuring his wife's sister Julie Shore on keyboards and Antibalas's Miles Arntzen on drums) are rehearsing for his upcoming solo tour, which kicked off Thursday at the Bowery Ballroom and comes to Montreal's Le Ritz PDB, March 28 and 29.His solo debut, Policy, isn't out till next week but the Arcade Fire's Will Butler celebrated early on Thursday night (3/5) with a sold-out show at Bowery Ballroom with tourmates TEEN. Will and his band played the entirety of his new album, plus 10 more, including a few of his Guardian headline songs and a cover of the Violent Femmes' 1991 single "American Music." Setlist, pics and video of from last night's show are in this post.
"It's not DIY (do it yourself)," he continued. "It was done in a beautiful studio (Jimi Hendrix's old living room, upstairs at New York's Electric Lady Studios), with a proper engineer, not on a laptop - but I wanted it to be fast. I did it at a studio just so I was paying for it, and I would have pressure. In Montreal, I would have said, 'Oh, it's good,' and thought about it, twiddled, come back and tried some keyboard parts. Having it booked made it so I had to commit to things. - [Montreal Gazette]
If you haven't heard Policy yet, you can stream it in full ahead of next week's release via Spotify, below. And speaking of the songs he wrote based on headlines from The Guardian, those are all out now and can be streamed below.
Will and TEEN play Boston tonight then their tour heads back to NYC on Saturday (3/7) for a show at Baby's All Right which is sold out. Updated dates are listed, with more pictures from Bowery, below...

Will Butler released the first in his week-long series of songs based on 'The Guardian' headlines (listen)
Arcade Fire's Will Butler is a few weeks away from releasing his debut solo album, but this week he'll also be putting out a series of non-album tracks. The premise is he's writing a new song every day this week based on a news story on The Guardian. The first, "Clean Monday," is out now. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say about it:
I was reading the Guardian's live coverage of the forthcoming Greek proposals of how they're going to pay off their debts, when a little blurb popped up explaining that the Greek markets were closed today because it was "Clean Monday" - the Greek Orthodox equivalent of Ash Wednesday. It was an amazing/hilarious (well, maybe mildly amusing) coincidence to me that the Greek ministers were scrambling and figuring out how to avoid strict austerity on the day that Lent starts.Listen below.
And all this scrambling is just to figure out the next few months. It's gonna be a long winter, and a long spring, and maybe a really long summer for Greece. But my fingers are crossed.
Will's tour hits NYC on March 5 at Bowery Ballroom with TEEN (tickets) and March 7 at Baby's All Right (sold out).

Arcade Fire's Will Butler announces debut solo album; other AF members talked punk roots with Damien Abraham

Will Butler takes somewhat of a backseat to his brother Win in Arcade Fire but he'll be stepping into the spotlight on his first solo album which should be out sometime next year. He previewed songs last night at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right, his second solo show this year in the NYC borough. With backup singers and preprogrammed drums, he played a 10-song set for the sold-out room. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, sonically. You can hear for yourself -- there's video of most of his Baby's set, and the setlist, below.
In related news, Will sings on "Tiger," the new single by Brooklyn act Ponyhof who themselves played Baby's not too long ago. Check out the video for that below as well.

Will Butler @ Rough Trade 8/21/2014 (via @ArcadeFiretube)
Folks who went to Rough Trade on Thursday (8/21) to see The Clean's sold-out show and got there early were treated to a surprise: an opening solo set from fellow Merge artist Will Butler who would soon be playing three nights at Barclays Center with Arcade Fire. It was Will's second-ever solo show apparently. Anyone catch his set? How was it?
Friday's night's Clean show saw Ira & Georgia of Yo La Tengo join the band onstage.
So, apparently Arcade Fire are in town for The 2012 Feast Conference. What is The Feast Conference?
The Feast Conference gathers remarkable entrepreneurs, radicals, doers and thinkers that bring their talents to the table to make life better. Our attendees don't just sit back. They'll be rolling up their sleeves at roundtables this October to respond to challenges issued by visionary speakers who dare to ask the question, "What does the world need now?"One of the things the world needs is Arcade Fire's favorite Haiti-helping cause Partners in Health, and the band came down to join its director Paul Farmer to talk about it on Thursday (10/4)... and to play a song. Watch video of the whole thing below...
