Basic Info
I'm currently accepting commissions, pricing will vary depending on the size of the piece, the amount of time it will take and the complexity of the piece. Usually I'm happy to work out an estimate before I begin, and I never accept payment until I have completed the piece. Payment is through paypal, and information on that will be given after the piece is completed. If interested or just to ask some questions, send me a note or alternatively email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What can I offer?
Currently I'm only taking physical pieces, e.g traditionally drawn art. I am working up to beginning digital art again, but for now I'm taking on traditional art pieces. I can offer pieces in sizes of A5, A4 and A3. If you have a specific request such as a canvas, that can also be arranged, as long as the postage and canvas is covered in payment. I have specialised in tattoo design, chibi characters, psychedelic art, anime style pieces and realism, especially with portraits. I usually work with pencil and black ink, I work in colour also. I'm pretty happy to take on any challenge, and I'd rather you came to me with an idea so I can work around it and try and get the result you want. Please message me with any questions.
I post physical pieces from the UK, within the UK, A4 sized pieces and smaller will cost no more than £2.50, and larger pieces, £3.50 purely because I would therefore have to upgrade to a poster tube instead of envelopes.
To the US and nearby international countries, postage should be no more than $5 for A4 and smaller and for A3 it will be no more than $6.50. For information on other currencies please message me!

text: The Advantages of Going Global in Bonds Douglas J. Peebles April 11, 2012 Fixed Income Bond investing, like equity investing, is an increasingly global proposition today. Opportunities are present all over the world. Yet unlike equity investors, who have generally embraced global investing, bond investors in many countries continue to put all their eggs in one basket by focusing primarily on their home debt markets. We think this is a mistake. In most countries, global bonds have offered comparable historical returns to domestic bonds, with considerably lower volatility, as we showed in our previous post . This reduction in volatility shouldn't come as a great surprise. Bond returns can vary wildly across different countries year by year, as the display below shows. For example, while Australia was the world's best-performing major sovereign-debt market in 2008, it was the worst-performing for the next two years. Since the economic fundamentals that affect the bond market—such as monetary policy and inflation—are not always in sync across different countries, returns tend to be highly dispersed. As a result, diversification across countries can help smooth the ride for bond investors. A global opportunity set also allows skilled investment managers to adjust portfolio risk dynamically by overweighting countries or regions where the potential compensation for risk is most generous—and underweighting countries or regions where expected return on risk is inadequate or simply less attractive. In our view, fixed-income investors everywhere could improve their risk-adjusted returns by going global. But investors should understand that global bond portfolios are not all cut from the same cloth. Some act like core portfolios—useful diversifiers against risky assets such as equities. Other global bond funds act more like high yield, even if they don't necessarily invest in high-yield bonds; their higher risk profile stems primarily from currency exposure. In my next post, I will delve deeper into the risk of currency exposure in global bond portfolios.

Retired Marine Col. Jack Pozza, a Vietnam veteran who grew up not far from Green Bay, Wis., and now lives in Virginia, has a dilemma: He's a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan, yet he supports President Bush for re-election. Wherein lies the problem.
The Marine knows that there is a 100 percent correlation between the Washington Redskins win-loss record and the outcome of every presidential contest dating back to 1940. If the Redskins win their last home game prior to Election Day, the party in power stays in power. Conversely, if the Skins lose the game, the incumbent party is on the street.
In 2000 - Tennessee Titans 27, Redskins 21: Bush defeats Al Gore.
In 1996 - Redskins 31, Indianapolis Colts 16: Bill Clinton defeats Bob Dole.
In 1992 - New York Giants 24, Redskins 7: Clinton defeats George H.W. Bush.
In 1988 - Redskins 27, New Orleans Saints 24: Bush defeats Michael Dukakis.
Therefore, forget about the Electoral College, voting irregularities in Florida, and missing weapons in Iraq. The fate of the free world, says one observer, rides on the Redskins versus the Packers on Halloween night.
Harry Truman once said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."
It might behoove John Kerry, if he can rent a pasture, to get a cow.
"An interesting pattern emerged when we researched our book," says Peter Barnes, former Washington bureau chief of Hearst-Argyle Television, and last seen on CNBC. "We noticed that in the majority of cases in presidential contests from 1900 to 2000, the candidate with the most pets won the election."
Barnes, also a Wall Street Journal veteran, and his wife, Cheryl, are accomplished children's book authors (she also illustrated the 2002 White House Children's Christmas Program). In researching their new book, "President Adams' Alligator and Other White House Pets," they discovered that Bush should easily win re-election simply because he has more pets than his opponent.
Bush has three pets: Barney, the irascible Scottish terrier; India, a cat; and Ofelia, a black-spotted longhorn cow that lives at the president's ranch in Texas. Kerry has two pets: a German shepherd named Cym and a yellow parakeet.
Consider that in 1904, Teddy Roosevelt had 34 pets while his opponent, Alton B. Parker, had one, a dog. In 1920, Warren G. Harding had four pets - two dogs and two birds - while his rival, James M. Cox, had one dog, Tom. In 1932, Herbert Hoover had 10 pets, but Franklin D. Roosevelt had 11 and ended up winning the White House.

We do. We love it!!! Extra art, music, field trips, small class sizes, parent involvement, families that WANT to be at that school, I can't say anything bad about it. Well, I guess I can, it's only to 6th instead of K-8!!

Ours is only to 4th grade Our school district already has small class sizes so it won't be too different than normal Kindy for that reason. But I do think that the broader emphasis will help keep her from being too bored because she is reading very well for her age and we were worried about boredom in Kindy.
DD Alexa 9-22-04
Emma entered K reading fluently this fall, and she is just fine. She's in the accelerated reading program, and her class works in small groups and she is in a group of readers. All the extra stuff just makes the day that much more fun for her!

That is awesome. She is going to have great experiences and make wonderful memories there. I worked at a magnet school a while back and the kids were great. She is going to get a great education and meet nice and caring friends. Good luck!
She did before we PCS'd. It was great. PK3-12 grade. Accelerated program, small classes. The principle could recognize the family of every child in the school and the parents all had the teachers', busdrivers', principles and helpers' cell phone numbers. There was a lot of mandatory parent involvement and so some parents pull there kids out early on but the teachers were every bit as dedicated as the parents were expected to be. I loved it and wish that my son could have at least gotten to go there for a year like she did. It was the best thing that could have happened for her education.
Jake will most likely be attending a Spanish immersion magnet school this fall. We have heard very few negatives about it. It is a little bit out of the way is the only real problem. We will have to adjust commutes in the fall.
Noemi attends a magnet school (Pre K-5th). She had a great teacher and experience in Pre K. She is now in Kindergarten so she has a different teacher who is tough and very strict. That adjustment has been a little hard, but nothing major. She will likely attend up to the 5th grade. We like it and it is only a 10 minute walk from home. When I intially went on tours, I felt really welcome there and the family worker was so warm and generous with her time. Parent involvement is important and steadily increasing and I am on the School Leadership Team. At the end of every year, each grade displays their work at the school's Multicultural Festival. Last year, each grade had a different state or region in the US. The year before, European countries were represented. This year, my daughter's class is presenting Egypt. It's great!

Midwest Governors on Separation of Watersheds: A Closer Look at What's at Stake
Posted June 11, 2013
Two important messages on aquatic invasive species came out of the recent 2013 Leadership Summit, where the Great Lakes Governors and the Premiers of Ontario and Quebec gathered to discuss a new collaborative agenda for the region. The messages – from Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois and Governor Mike Pence of Indiana – illustrate a potential divide between these two neighboring states when it comes to invasive species, in particular the voracious Asian carp making their way up the Illinois River towards Lake Michigan. While Governor Quinn spoke in favor of hydrological separation of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins, Governor Pence came out critical of separation. It appears, however, that Governor Pence may be basing his position on inaccurate or misleading information about separation and its impacts on the region, fueled by industry's interest in keeping things business-as-usual on the inland waterways. Let's take a closer look.
In his first public statement of support for separation, Governor Quinn this past weekend noted that "I really feel [separation] is the ultimate solution. We have to do it." This statement came after many years of public debate and studies looking at the feasibility of separating the basins. Quinn went on to acknowledge that fishermen and electric barriers are not enough.
Pence, in contrast, focused on the potential economic impacts, stating according to one news article that "any effort to close the Chicago-area waterway system to control the spread of Asian carp would be harmful to our economy" and noting that the waterways provide a "southern transportation route for freighters carrying $1.9 billion in goods annually from Indiana factories and farms."
Why should Governor Pence take a closer look with us? First, no one is advocating to *close* the inland waterways system to waterborne commerce. Rather, proponents of separation are assessing a limited set of locations for physical barriers and engineering solutions that would enable the continued movement of goods along the waterways, as shown in one conceptual rendering by the engineering firm HDR, Inc. for the Great Lakes Commission. Similar infrastructure is used in other parts of the world, and could be incorporated into a separation plan here. Looking at separation also provides opportunities both to improve the Chicago Area Waterway System (or CAWS) itself by updating crumbling infrastructure along the CAWS and to improve other aspects of Chicago's freight system, which is notorious for its delays and back-ups. With forward-thinking ideas and careful planning, it is very likely that any delays from creation of barriers in the waterways could be more than offset by new efficiencies in other parts of the system.
Second, the figure of $1.9 billion is misleading in its portrayal of the value of the goods moving along the inland waterways to and from Indiana businesses. Waterborne freight is a mode that, according to the Army Corps of Engineers, represents only a very small fraction of the goods moving through the Chicago metro region - and this fraction is on the decline. While the news articles on the governors' statements don't provide the source for the cited $1.9 billion figure, we did a little digging and found this study commissioned by – not surprisingly – the Port of Indiana. The report looks at the economic impacts associated with maritime activity at the Indiana Lakeshore terminals, including goods that move along the inland waterways and through the O'Brien Lock to and from Indiana. By defining a very broad conception of economic value, the report comes up with a figure of $1.9 billion from goods movement through O'Brien. What do I mean by a very broad conception? As an example, the report looks at the "induced," "indirect" and "related" jobs associated with those goods – essentially everyone who is somewhat impacted by the movement of the goods (for instance, office supply providers).
I don't take issue with this type of analysis overall. But reporting that the goods have a "value" of $1.9 billion is misleading: the more common and familiar way of reporting value when speaking about goods movement is to report the market value of the goods, oftentimes with the tonnage. Taking this approach to goods moving along the inland waterways, a few numbers show a very different story for Indiana. First, according to a study conducted by Cambridge Systematics for NRDC, using a database developed by the Federal Highway Administration, the greater Chicago freight system in 2007 moved 1.17 billion tons of goods worth $1.3 trillion. The same study notes that maritime movement accounted for just 0.2% of that value, or $2.6 billion. At the same time, the Army Corps' report on cargo moving through the region found that Indiana accounted for only 6% of shipments and 6% of receipts on the inland waterways. Conservatively assuming that all of these shipments and receipts would go through areas of the CAWS potentially impacted by separation and multiplying those percentages times the total value of maritime goods yields a high end ballpark number in the range of several hundred million dollars – far short of $1.9 billion.
Several hundred million dollars is not nothing. But it certainly is not reason to halt discussions over a much-needed solution to our invasive species problems, one that will bring numerous benefits to the region – in terms of improved water quality, reduced flooding, and other system improvements – in addition to carp and other species prevention. Nor, as noted above, will this goods value disappear in its entirety because the CAWS will not be closed to goods movement. If we dedicate ourselves to generating creative solutions looking at the goods movement system as a whole, we can both address the invasives threat AND have a healthier goods movement system.
In the end, why should Governor Pence pay heed to his Illinois colleague's position? One very basic reason: with a far greater percentage of goods movement on the waterways impacting the Illinois economy, Quinn has a lot more to lose if separation really is the economic torpedo industry has made it out to be. That he has come to support separation over time is a strong indicator that it is not.

I disagree with your depiction of Indiana controlled Lake Michigan watershed as not being economically significant. Among many very successful industries that depend on lake and river access, there's Burns Harbor and East Chicago, Indiana ArcelorMittal steel mills and the US Steel Gary Works. These mills almost died after US private equity drained them back in the late 1990s. They're now going full out. Water level and river flow issues relating to both operations and environmental protection, i.e. NPDES 316b) are supercritical to steel mills so its not in anyone's interest to keep this closed doors or to make it a single issue. In addition to homeowners along Chicago's North Shore, there's a lot of people, homes and businesses that may be affected by your efforts. I can't believe I'm helping out the Indiana Governor on this.
Who is NRDC working for on this issue? If the Lake Michigan watershed is handled as well as the Illinois fracking was, we're in trouble. And if I may honestly ask, what is the role of NRDC in general and specifically in Illinois? It's not advocacy. NRDC's role seems almost an extraordinary planner and developer - both on civic and industrial matters.

Are There Any Heart Health Benefits From Fish Fat?
Omega-3 fatty acids began making headlines in the 1970s when researchers studying the Greenland Inuit Tribe found that they were not as susceptible to cardiovascular disease as much as the general population. They attributed their heart health to the consumption of large amounts of fat from fish. Some initial studies found benefit from eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Based on this information, organizations such as the American Heart Association began encouraging individuals to consume omega-3 fatty acids from fish in order to boost heart health.With the positive information coming out about fish oil, people began looking for other alternative ways to get the benefits of fatty fish without actually having to eat the fish. Fish oil supplements began gaining popularity. But do fish oil supplements really provide those heart protection benefits that we had originally thought? The answer is not as clear as one would hope.
The Skinny on Fish FatCertain fish bulk up on omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids by consuming plankton and other plants. These fatty acids and their health benefits are then passed on to people who eat fish regularly. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are thought be beneficial to health by:
- Lowering triglyceride levels—a type of fat in the blood
- Decreasing the risk of abnormal heartbeat
- Slowing the growth rate of plaque in the arteries
- Slightly lowering blood pressure
- Reducing inflammation
Evidence for Omega-3 Fatty Acids SupplementsEvidence supporting the benefit of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health has been inconsistent. In 2006, researchers published a systematic review of studies in the journal BMJ that determined omega-3 fats do not have a clear effect on total mortality, combined cardiovascular events, or cancer. A 2008 study in the same journal looked at the literature regarding the effects of fish oil and determined that fish oil supplements do result in a small but significant reduction in deaths from cardiac causes, but had no effect on all-cause mortality. A study done in 2009 found evidence that omega-3 fatty acids benefit people with heart failure. The large study, published in Lancet, looked at patients with chronic heart failure. It found that patients taking omega-3 fatty acids had fewer hospitalizations for cardiovascular reasons, fewer heart-related deaths, and lower overall death rates than those taking a placebo pill.In 2009, a systematic review published in Clinical Cardiology concluded that supplements with EPA and DHA reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, cardiac death, and death from all causes in patients who already have heart disease.In contrast, in 2012, two papers concluded that omega-3 supplements were not as beneficial as previously thought. Researchers who published the results of a randomized trial in the New England Journal of Medicine found that a prescribed drug containing EPA and DHA did not reduce mortality or the risk of cardiovascular events in people with diabetes or prediabetes who were at high risk for a cardiovascular events. In a systematic review of studies published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers found that omega-3 supplements did not appear to decrease the risk of future cardiovascular events (eg, heart attack, heart failure, stroke, or death) in patients who already have cardiovascular disease.Based on these conflicting results, there is no clear answer as to the benefits of taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and early death in all people.

We are having the biggest issues with our almost 3 1/2 yr old. She has no desire to potty train. Rewards, gifts, a party we have tried it all and still she has no qualms about peeing in her pants. Uggh I am at my wits end! She has to be potty trained to go to preschool next year and I would like to be done with pull-ups, etc...so just fed up with all of it ...
Anyone else's LO not want to Potty train?
Yep, raising both of my hands here!!! Mine doesn't really have any desire either. She will pee on a potty if she doesn't have underwear or a diaper on but if you put underwear on her she will pee in them and very calmly ask you to put a diaper back on her. She doesn't care if she is wet or dirty. Plus she holds her poop sometimes fpr a couple of days and will absolutley not sit on the potty to do that no matter what. We want to put her in preschool this fall or sooner but we can't until she is potty trained. It is driving me nuts. I think potty training is the most difficult thing I have experienced as a parent so far. I HATE it!!!!

I was in the SAME BOAT until last week. Try this. It may not work, but it is worth a try. My LO fought it to no end. I took a stand and told him, no more diapers. He peed through 5 pairs of pants. Then, we went fully naked. When he couldn't feel anything on his bum, he decided he finally needed to sit on the pot. We went fully nude for 2 whole days, then he wanted to put his pants back on. We have only had one accident all week and it was when he was outside with his dad. I say, go naked. Worth a shot!

We both work and we have a sitter we cannot have her naked.
my 31/2 year is in the same boat. i have a one year old who is still in diapers and when i ask my son 'why don't you go pee and poop in the toilet' his reply is 'don't want to'. REALLY ok so i have thought about naked days...but i am afraid that he will pee all over the house like he did when he was 2 and he would take his penis out of his diaper and go pee in the kitchen, bedroom, toys, books. And when he has his stupid expensive pull up on he says oh peeing. GRRRR.

Have you thought about trying cloth training pants? They're like cloth diapers, but with less external mess.

Alex 03/01/09, FF in Radian80SL (rf until 4yr, 2mo)
Jonathan 01/15/11, ERF in Radian80SL
I did basically the same as emdane. I had to wait (and wait and wait) until there was something he really, really wanted. In his case it was a Little Tykes pick-up truck, until then he had no intrest in going. I made a sticker chart with space for 14 stickers. He had to go 14 days straight during the day and after he went potty and got his pj's on at night he could get his sticker. That was about four months ago and he's been fine ever since.
Very blessed with a sweet baby boy- FTM at 42 years and 364 days old.
Where do you find cloth training pants. I have been to Walmart, Meijer, Target and even Kohls with no luck and none at the thrift shops either.
Naked at home maybe undies with a pullup over at the sitter?
Kristin wife to Kurt 28 mommy to P 02/09 , A 01/11 and D 03/13
I'm so with you. Mine has no interest in potty training. We both work and have a sitter that won't let us do anything cloth until she's potty trained, so we have to put her in diapers all day during the week. I'm at my wits end, too, and don't know if she's going to make it to preschool in the fall!

Acts 2:43-47New International Version (NIV)
43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Fans of sports radio were dealt a harsh blow this morning when they learned that the "little hiatus" that Mike and the Mad Dog were on had turned into a full-blown permanent breakup. Chris "Mad Dog" Russo has left the WFAN building.
(The pair, during happier times)
The pair, only weeks from their 19th anniversary on the air together, have broken up for good.
After months of speculation that the famous New York radio team would split, Russo finally decided to pull the plug yesterday and head for greener pastures, in this case a presumed deal with Sirius. Mike Francesa meanwhile will become the "sole host of the popular afternoon drive time show".
NEWSDAY has the story:
The announcement of Russo's departure coincided with the announcement of a new contract for Francesa, whose deal was believed to be expiring around the end of the year.
For now, he will be the sole host of the show, including Friday. But over time new elements will be added.
Their relationship had become strained last spring for a variety of reasons, most of them probably due to the fact that you get sick of anyone after working together for 20 years.
On June 22nd, the first rumblings of the breakup were heard followed by Russo doing the show solo for a bit while Francesa was "on vacation". The pair never did a show together until July 11th, three more sporadic shows followed until ultimately the Final One Ever aired on August 5th at the Giants' training facility. After that: no more.
However, easily the strangest fact we uncovered during our research on this story is the following odd tidbit: Mad Dog is only 5 years younger than Mike! Who'da thunk?

"Titus Andronicus is still the best band in the world.
Webster Hall cannot contain them." -totale
Patrick Stickles on stage @ Webster Saturday night
"Lead singer Patrick Stickles made it clear that Saturday night's show was a special one for the band. It was the last show of their current tour; it was a near-hometown concert (the band is from New Jersey) and thus many family members were in the audience. Stickles especially pointed out his father, standing in the front row of the balcony right in front of the stage. The presence of his father seemed to fit perfectly with the night, as Titus Andronicus came off as that loveable little band that started in obscurity and is getting bigger and bigger with each go-around. You couldn't help but feel a bit of pride, even if you had nothing to do with the band's growth." [Muzzle of Bees]Titus Andronicus played Webster Hall Saturday night (9/25) with an impressive supporting cast of Free Energy and Screaming Females. The show completed a touring cycle for TA and FE that kicked off with a zillion degree show at Glasslands (without FE) and a show at Maxwell's (with FE) in mid-August.
Unlike Free Energy and Screaming Females, Titus Andronicus don't have many upcoming shows on their schedule at the moment, but they do have at least one. Catch them with Adam Haworth Stephens and The Felice Brothers at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY on October 30th, Mischief Night 2010. Tickets are on sale.

Screaming Females played their record release show at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn last night (9/15), and their next NYC show has already been revealed. Get to Webster Hall early on Saturday, 9/25, because they're now first of three on the Titus Andronicus/Free Energy show happening there that night. Tickets are still on sale.
Meanwhile Screaming Females are still on tour including tonight in Philly with a very special guest...
"Hey Philly! We're playing a last minute show with our friends the Screaming Females tonight at The Ox (1652 N. 2nd St.). Show starts at 9, over by 12. Come down and get their awesome new record Castle Talk, by Screaming Females!" - Ted LeoThat's a sweet surprise.
Shellshag and Big Eyes opened the Brooklyn show last night (9/15). If you weren't there, maybe you watched the live stream... I didn't know about the stream until now... which is okay because the entire stream is still watchable. Check that out, with more pictures from the show, and the setlist, below....

Local Natives & the crowd @ FYF Fest Saturday
Yesterday was FYF Fest. We know all the problems... The lines... And are addressing them now. In no way are we sleeping on these problems. The bands were amazing and the turn out was unreal. I'm speechless. -Sean Carlson & FYF FestThat's how the FYF Fest organizers started their post-fest email, which also outlined new, cheaper pricing to the three "fan fest" shows it hosted on Sunday in LA. For all the organizational problems on Saturday, FYF still managed to put on a highly enjoyable day of bands, around 37 total across three stages (plus a comedy tent), at LA State Historic Park.
The day's short sets kept you wanting more from nearly every act, many of whom played for a half hour or 35 minutes (which expanded in 5 minute increments up to an hour for the headliners). That made for tough decisions between overlapping sets. Ted Leo and band blew through their 45 minutes, and Titus Andronicus could've continued for another 35 at least with the momentum from their Monitor songs. Those two, along with Screaming Females, were part of what Ted Leo termed the "New Jersey Takeover" - three punk bands with Garden State roots who all played great sets at the fest.
Ariel Pink
Los Angeles represented with a number of notable hometown acts. Growlers, in grey facepaint, brought an earthy, ramshackle sound and lots of friends. Best Coast, Abe Vigoda, Local Natives and Ariel Pink also repped their hometown - the latter two with mezmerizing late afternoon sets.
Other acts brought some nice surprises. A chorus of kids, costumed as zombie versions of dead historical figures, backed Dead Man's Bones' Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields. The Blow introduced some of her new songs written for an unnamed celebrity (and played recognizable earlier songs too, including one "written with Sting...when [she] was 7"). And Big Freedia, the fest's only act with any trace of hip-hop, shocked the crowd with a short pre-headerliner dose of "Azz Everywhere."
Big Freedia
There was plenty of garage rock (Thee Oh Sees brought the man responsible for their cover art, William Keihn, to play tambourine), punk and metal. A reunited Sleep, in New York this week, grinded away, as !!! had people shaking their ass on the sister stage. On the fest's third stage, hardcore band 7 Seconds reminisced about their first time in LA almost 30 years ago and lead a spirited circle pit. Add to those bands, breezy folk from AA Bondy, the jams of Warpaint and Delorean to name a few.
If FYF's organizers are a bit defensive above, it may be with good reason: the few critical organizational errors were fairly memorable. A long line at will call (an hour would be a short estimate) kept many waiting in the 90 degree sun while the first bands of the day (Magic Kids, Let's Wrestle and The Goat) could be heard starting in the distance. Water inside was also an issue, with limited access to free drinking water and bottled water at $4 (which, according to Noah Lennox, ran out).
By the end of the night, the two final acts - The Rapture and Panda Bear - set up on competing stages. Panda Bear aka Noah Lennox interspersed his dreamy lullabies with patches of noise and dissonance while videos and images that could be described only as "trippy" played behind him; I think your response to the set depended largely on your state of mind after the long day: exhausted or ready for a patience-testing string of songs and sounds. He and The Rapture provided, alternately, a place to dance or doze.
Unsane also played a rare runion set at the festival where Off! shared a bill with Lower Dens. School of Seven Bells, Davila 666, Cults and Ceremony were there too.
Read what Noah thought about his own set, HERE. More pictures from the entire day, below...
Titus Andronicus played a very hot show at Glasslands, kick off tour w/ Free Energy (including Webster Hall)
"titus andronicus last night at glasslands was pretty special. and sweaty. a pretty sweaty special." - Ward
"For starters, [Titus Andronicus] looked like drowned rats by the time they hit "Arms Against Atrophy," just four songs in. At previous shows I was never sure whether or not Glasslands had air conditioning, but Glasslands definitely does not have air conditioning. Between Titus' cult following forming their requisite mosh pit up front and being in such a small venue for a band playing Webster Hall next month, the heat in that place was inescapable last night. Suffocating, almost. Everyone was very, very wet. The show, partly because of the heat I imagine, and partly because the cause, took on "an intimate show among friends with songs that haven't been played in a while" feel. They had to slow things down every so often, or they probably would have died. And so the calmer moments on songs like "No Future, Pt. 1" were even quieter; the silent pause before "No Future Part Three: Escape From No Future" turns noisy was even more dramatic; the outro to "Four Score and Seven" extended into an ethereal ambiance, and "And Ever" was like a modern-day "Piano Man." To make up for it, the louder material was more urgent, more epic." [L Magazine]Check out the you'll-wish-you-were-there-hot-or-not video from the show below.
Check out Titus Andronicus again tonight at Maxwell's (if you have a ticket because it's sold out) where they kick off their tour with Free Energy. If you don't have a ticket, you can still get one for the September 25th show at Webster Hall where Free Energy is also opening (they kept that part a secret at first).

Panda Bear @ Pitchfork Fest Saturday evening (Suckafreemike)
"Dear panda bear: you're playing a music festival, not an art installation." - Etan
"The only explanation for Panda Bear's set at the Pitchfork Music Festival is that it's a practical joke on people who are not on drugs." - lifeinzembla
"Panda Bear was nice but wayyyy too low key for a festival crowd" - Carleton Atwater
"hey i'm watching online and panda bear sounds amazing!!" - Nicole H
"Bet this new Panda Bear stuff sounds great on headphones but it's not really festival music" - Joe Colly
"Panda Bear mixing footage on the screen of a little girl jumping up and down and a Great White Shark eating a cow...weird" - Anthony Adamowicz
"Really Panda Bear?!! No "Comfy in Nautica" or "Bros??" Lame." - Michael Roche
"Panda Bear just put 20000 people to sleep at @pitchfork2010. No joke." - angelabosworth

Robyn dominated Friday @ the Pitchfork Festival
"Who knew the best performer of the day would be a blonde bombshell spinning Euro-disco? Robyn -- another Swede and a former child star who's fought hard to regain her own artistic control -- came out throwing punches in the air when she wasn't doing that elbows-high, shoulder-leaning dance all '80s female singers used to do. Fiesty, sexy, spunky, Robyn opened with the virtues of being a "Fembot," assured us that love hurts "With Every Heartbeat" and sang flawlessly through new single "Dancing on My Own" in front of a band dressed in all white, twiddling knobs and pounding synth-pad drums. The latter really exploded at the end of "Cobrastyle," with Robyn showing some kick-box dancing. Her Pink-ish pluck reached its zenith in "Don't F---ing Tell Me What to Do," during which she led some kind of aerobics class (sporting a totally Pat Benatar green beret, too). And she was the crowd favorite. Go figure." [Chicago Sun Times]Robyn is now on tour with Kelis (that tour includes three NYC shows).
This post comes five hours into Day Two of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival (which is streaming online). Tonight's remaining acts are Wolf Parade, Panda Bear, and LCD Soundsystem. More pictures and a few videos from most of what came prior, below....

DOWNLOAD: Deer Tick - 20 Miles (MP3)
Last night (6/7), Deer Tick played a private show on the Rocks Off Concert Cruise boat The Jewel in celebration of their friend's birthday. Around 7 p.m., a line wrapped around the pier on 23rd street and FDR while approximately 200 close friends slowly began to board the boat for the surprise party.
The evening began with the members of Deer Tick playing backup for singer-songwriter Jonny Corndawg, who engaged the entire audience to the point in which everyone in sight began shouting along to the music and providing backup vocals for his song "Shut Up".
Around 9 p.m., Deer Tick took the stage- a very dimly lit area that took up the entire bow of the lower half of the boat. The theme for the night (aside from sailor hats and lei necklaces) seemed to be getting iced: John McCauley, sporting a gold tooth and straw hat, took a knee three times during Deer Tick's set to chug a Smirnoff Ice. McCauley began the set by singing the words, "I've got a cock that's hard as a rock/Every time I see my Johnny", a special song he wrote for the birthday boy.
"Let's do something stupid and maybe tomorrow we'll remember it." McCauley said before setting down his beer and beginning to play "Easy". Throughout the course of the 90 minute set, Deer Tick played songs from their previous two albums War Elephant and Born on Flag Day, as well as cover songs such as Lightnin' Hopkins' "Bring Me By Shotgun" and Tom Petty's "Breakdown" which provided a segway into a beautifully violent version of "These Old Shoes."
McCauley then stated, "We're going to do a cover song. Maybe you guys have heard of it..." and began to sing "Happy Birthday", which was followed by the birthday boy getting iced and the entire band shotgunning beers.
Towards the middle of the set, the noise began to mellow out with a slowed down rendition of "Diamond Rings 2007" with the lyrics changed to, "What good would fingers be/If it weren't for onion rings/Now I know you're leaving me/So I'm going to Burger King." However, things quickly began to pick up again, Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus joined the band for a song, and the audience went wild dancing and cheering as Deer Tick finished up their set with the appropriately chaotic "La Bamba".
The Jewel returned to the dock at 11 p.m., with no one completely content returning to land after such an amazing night on the East River.
Deer Tick's new album The Black Dirt Sessions is out TODAY (6/8). A track from that album is on the top of this post (Amazon is giving away the same song too) along with the track Deer Tick did for our Katrina and the Waves cover EP. They kick off a tour with shows at Maxwell's and Webster Hall this July. More pictures from the boat below...

Fucked Up @ MWTX in Austin (more by Andrew Frisicano)
Lineups for Brooklyn's Northside Festival are coming together-- and some of the bigger shows (that aren't at Music Hall) are going to be at Greenpoint's Newtown Barge Park. First, Titus Andronicus, Cults and a special guest play an afternoon (1pm) show on Saturday, June 26th. Later that night, Liars, Fucked Up and High Places play the space (6pm). Then the next night (6/27, 6pm), Les Savy Fav performs with Polvo and Grails. Tickets to all three are on sale now. The shows are all ages (badges, which you must be 21+ to purchase, get you in too, capacity permitting).
Northside writes that the shows will be the first at the 1,500-capacity park space. Newtown Barge Park is a triangle of land at the corner of Franklin and Commercial Streets, and is part of the proposed plan (PDF) to expand Williamsburg/Greenpoint's waterfront park space.
The BrooklynVegan Northside show takes place the same Saturday as Titus --> Fucked Up/Liars, but at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Doors for that are 8pm, and it goes later. Tickets are now on sale.
may DO NOT have another Brooklyn show coming up, on Thursday, June 3rd at Glasslands with Boogie Boarder. It has been cancelled. It was supposed to be a benefit for Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, a group frontman Patrick Stickles has talked about before...
Pitchfork: Best Purchase of the Past YearMaybe they'll reschedule it at a later date.
Patrick Stickles: We can't take too much pride in the things we that own, can we? If I can get on my soapbox for a minute.... Isn't it much more important not what things we bought, but where we bought them? I'd love for you to remind your Brooklyn-based readership that they should make a point of not supporting the new Duane Reade that's moving in across the street from the historic Kings Pharmacy on Bedford Avenue. If you'd pass that along I'd appreciate that a lot. You can read a lot more about it at the website of this community group called Neighbors Allied for Good Growth. We all need to remember to vote with our dollars and take a stand for locally owned independent businesses, because that's what makes American capitalism great.
Grails has a new EP coming out. Grab an MP3 from that.
Fucked Up recently posted a new song that'll appear on a 12" split with Serena-Maneesh. You can get it above. Also, Damian from Fucked Up has been Internet debating the new Arizona immigration laws with fellow Canadian band Stars via Twitter and Stereogum.
All tour dates for Titus and Fucked Up are below...

2010 Northside Festival - tickets & intial lineup (includes Liars, Fucked Up, Les Savy Fav, Polvo & many more)
"Like last year, everything will be taking place in Williamsburg and Greenpoint because walking long distances is a drag when there are bands to see and beer to drink, we mean seriously. Us here at The L Magazine will be booking a share of shows on our own, but, for a large chunk of the festival, we've once again handed over curatorial control to some of the most tasteful, talented and dedicated folks in New York's independent music scene -- record labels, bloggers, promoters and more -- allowing them to showcase the bands they think you need to hear. The Williamsburg Gallery Association is again on board to highlight special exhibitions and other events at over 25 art galleries in the neighborhood. And to celebrate Northside's second year, we've invited a few of the city's biggest aficionados of independent film to curate four nights of New York-made movies at Brooklyn's new, as-yet-unopened film house-music club-restaurant-bar, indieScreen."That message from L Magazine refers to the second annual Northside Festival, taking place in Brooklyn from June 24th through the 27th.
Music, art and movies will be happening at "30+ venues" and "dozens of galleries" over the course of four days in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. Like SXSW & CMJ, you can buy tickets to individual events, or you can get a badge which gets you in to everything that isn't already at badge-capacity. $50 badges are now on sale to those 21 and over. If you buy a badge, "Arrive to venues early - badgeholders are admitted on a first-come, first-served, one-out, one-in basis."
If you buy a badge you can take your chances at getting into one of the four Northside shows happening at Music Hall of Williamsburg (BrooklynVegan showcase included), Fiery Furnaces at Brooklyn Bowl, and WAVVES & Cloud Nothings at Knitting Factory. TONS more shows TBA, but the initial list of bands that will be playing has been announced (I'm especially excited to see The Wave Pictures, Fucked Up, Liars, Parenthetical Girls and Les Savy Fav on there in addition to what we've previously talked about) (and yes Titus Andronicus is on there). Check it out below...

Titus Andronicus w/ Cassie from Vivian Girls @ SUNY - 4/14 (OpenEye)
That's Cassie Ramone from Vivian Girls on stage with Titus Andronicus at the SUNY Purchase student center on 4/14. Her other band The Babies also played that show.
Vivian Girls played with the Grates and Reading Rainbow at Maxwell's in Hoboken last night (4/23). The show was to celebrate 5 years of MusicSnobbery. Titus Andronicus's tour continues with a show at the same venue tonight (4/24). The sold out gig also has Harlem and Spider Bags on the bill, BUT FIRST: Los Campesinos! will play Maxwell's after all. After rescheduling and then cancelling the show completely, Los Campesinos! have re-rescheduled their show at the NJ venue for 3PM TODAY ("NOTE: if you bought tix @ Ticketweb for 4/17 or 4/21 you will need to re-buy. We regret the inconvenience.").
Los Campesinos! kick off the rest of their tour Sunday in Boston. The new date for the NYC show at Irving Plaza is Monday, April 26th.
Harlem played a show last night at Monster Island Basement (originally scheduled for Market Hotel), and at Mercury Lounge the night before that.
Modest Mouse playing Williamsburg Waterfront, the Pitchfork Festival (updated full lineup) & other tour dates
Modest Mouse @ Terminal 5 in March 2009 (more by Chris La Putt)
Modest Mouse will join Faith No More and Nas & Damian Marley (tickets) as one of the acts set to play at Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn this summer. Their Friday, July 23rd show will be ticketed/non-free (like the others mentioned). Tickets go on sale Friday at noon (which is when the just-added Faith no More show goes on sale too).
Modest Mouse's Brooklyn show is a week after they play the Pitchfork Festival which recently updated its lineup. New acts playing the Chicago fest include Big Boi, Major Lazer, Neon Indian, Beach House, Free Energy, Local Natives, Robyn & more. Check that out in full below. Single day tickets are still on sale.
UPDATE: Modest Mouse's Brooklyn show is one day after they play one in NJ.
Modest Mouse will be reissuing their third album, The Moon & Antarctica, on vinyl for its 10th anniversary, on Record Store Day - this Saturday, April 17th. "The album features restored original artwork and replicates the infinite lock groove found in the original vinyl pressings of 2000. The new vinyl reissue includes a download card for the album."

cops shut down Market Hotel, So Cow here, upcoming Babies gigs, Wetdog, Titus Andronicus school shows & other dates
"Market hotel busted by twenty cops!" - The Smith Westerns
Saturday night's Smith Westerns show at Market Hotel got cut short thanks to a group of cops that showed and told everyone to leave (possibly due to a noise complaint, possibly due to "business inspection", maybe because The Smith Westerns were peeing all over the place, or possibly just because the cops felt like shutting it down). What this means for the large DIY venue
remains to be seen. Upcoming shows there include High Places (April 8), Trans Am (April 18), Harlem (April 23), Sleigh Bells (May 11), and Pissed Jeans (June 19). The next scheduled show is Tuesday, April 6th with Darwin Deez. Hopefully it's still happening.
UPDATE: Market Hotel is going to close while they figure things out. All upcoming shows are being relocated.
As of this writing I'm not sure if The Smith Westerns ever got to play anywhere Saturday night. There was talk of the show moving to Party Expo, but that didn't seem to happen. Regardless, you can catch the band at their next NYC show which takes place tonight, Easter Sunday, at Mercury Lounge with Male Bonding (who played MHOW with The Soft Pack last night) and So Cow.
For So Cow it's one of two NYC shows on his current tour (all dates below). The next one takes place a few days later, April 7th at Death By Audio with Sunday Times, The Surpriser (ex Cause-comotion) and The Babies (pictured above).
For The Babies the Death By Audio show is one of many chances to see the Vivian Girls/Woods side project this month. The very next chance happens to be tonight (4/4, Easter) at Don Pedro with WetDog who Bill said were good the other night (they played Glasslands and Death By Audio). If you don't remember that Wetdog were playing this third NYC show tonight, that's because it's actually not in their tour dates (but it is listed by the venue and the Babies).
The Babies are also playing with Best Coast and The Bitters at Knitting Factory on Tuesday (4/6) (tickets still on sale). Maybe you caught Best Coast when they opened for Japandroids at Bowery Ballroom. You can also catch them Monday night (4/5) at the Meatlocker in Montclair and Wednesday (4/7) at Mercury Lounge with The Bitters again (tickets) (no other Bitters dates anywhere).
The Babies will soon also kick off a very short tour with Titus Andronicus in CT on April 11th. That tour hits Rodrigues Coffee House at Fordham University in the Bronx on April 13th and SUNY Purchase the next day. Titus also plays a Babies-less early Men Can Stop Rape Benefit show at Red Hook High School on Sunday, April 11th (before the CT show).

"FUCKED UP: Frontman Pink Eye says Emo's was first place he ever went shirtless. "Fat guys everywhere felt a little bit skinnier."" - Rolling Stone
""GZA? He just couldn't make it," Killah Priest told BrooklynTheBorough.com later. "He told us to come and help him out. He'll be here though - somewhere - he'll be here.""
"The first show I caught at South by Southwest was The Morning Benders at Emo's for the Brooklyn Vegan day party. I talked with Christopher Chu, the lead singer and while he was warming up near the stage, I snapped a few pictures. If you have not purchased Big Echo, their latest album it is worth the dinero." [Harmon Drive]As previously mentioned, GZA didn't show up but Killah Priest and 9th Prince made a quick but special appearance on the main ("outside") stage at the BrooklynVegan day party at Emo's on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 in Austin, TX. The two stage party featured a Torche-headlined metal stage "inside", and great sets by YellowFever, The Morning Benders, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Japandroids, Titus Andronicus, The Black Angels and Fucked Up outside. Finger on the Pulse played tunes between sets.
The last few bands got slightly longer sets due to the gap in the schedule that GZA created. The capacity crowd enjoyed free Magic Hat beer, Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, Vitamin Water, Mr. Natural breakfast tacos, Nadamoo coconut milk ice cream, Daily Juice catering, Raw Revolution bars and Hail Merry granola. It was an amazing first day at the festival that was quickly followed by our official showcase right down the street at Club DeVille. More pictures from this stage (metal coming later), and a video clip of the Killah Priest part, below...

Titus Andronicus celebrated the release of their new record, The Monitor, with a headlining show at Bowery Ballroom on Saturday, March 6th. The album's raucus, conceptual layers peeled back on stage to reveal the taut five-piece underneath. For two members of the band, keyboardist David Robbins and violinist/guitarist Amy Klein, it was only their third show with the group. The warm reception to the new-album tunes - with sing-alongs from the amazing, stand-out album opener (above) to its amazingly-depressing closer - no doubt set the bar high for the band's upcoming slew of album-supporting shows (including BrooklynVegan Emo's day party on Wednesday, March 17th in Austin).
On stage, frontman Patrick Stickles brought along an American Flag, but left out the LP's guests and Lincoln quoting transitions. He did a bit to humanize the record's kitch, sending a song out to his brother in the Navy, who he credited for getting the band on their whole nautical kick (a bit more personal than the Ken Burns doc and other sources often mentioned). He also did his part to play den mother to the young crowd - it was the first time I've ever heard anyone in a band tell an audience, "It's time to start to thinking about winding down."
In a lot of ways the 1.5+ hour show seemed like the opening of a new book for the band. The melding of History and personal history is something that The Monitor does without shame, and with both those arcs closed, the Bowery show felt like a new beginning. As part of the encore, Patrick treated us to a solo cover of the Replacements' "Treatment Bound" (which you can get from NYCTaper).
The openers were all great: Cloud Nothings played rough-around-the-edges power pop; Vivian Girls/Woods side-project The Babies are quickly becoming one of my favorites with popppy mid-set combos like "All Things Come to Pass" and "Meet Me in the City;" and Parts & Labor's effects/synth-laden sound added some eclecticism to the show. Cloud Nothings and Parts & Labor both have shows in NYC and elsewhere coming up, which are laid out below along with more pictures from the show...

It should be a wild first day in Austin and needless to say, we're very excited for this one. And did we mention this was all free? No RSVP. No Badges. Just stop by. Get there early if you want a free vegan breakfast taco. Stay around if you want even more catering by Daily Juice. Drink for free from our 10 kegs of Magic Hat beer and the many bottles of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka that we'll be pouring. Then after the show, if you're still hungry (and standing), get dinner quickly and head over to the official BrooklynVegan SXSW showcase at Club DeVille right down the block (Dawes go on at 8, Serena Maneesh finish things off at 1am). Then get some rest because you've got 19 more bands to catch on Thursday afternoon at Spider House.
And for those in NYC, don't forget that we're also hosting a free Morning Benders show, TONIGHT (3/8).
We also just announced the full lineup of our Saturday day party at Red 7 which is happening at the same time as our Saturday day party at Galaxy Room.

Here we go again with these misguided arguments about quickscoping.
I like how your opinion of it being annoying is quite funny. Definitely can see that you only want it gone because you get owned by it. If it isn't quickscopers it will be something else someone does to out play you.
I am a skilled player and I have to say that the MSBS is OP, while quickscoping or sniping is no where close.
I'm 3KD with the M8A1 in BO2 but I can't use the MSBS. Maybe my perk setups are wrong or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I can't use the MSBS either but I always seem to die in 1-2 bursts at close to long range.
QS may be there but your handicapped by AR killing faster versus the Black Ops series
So I am unskilled because you say so? ok whatever.
I need a weapon that is easier and faster to handle. The MSBS isn't it. The time it takes me to line up the shot is fatal in this COD. If I miss, I'm dead.
Just let this thread die, mate. We're going nowhere but in circles. Let's move on to Ghosts.
QS takes no skill. See someone, scope, trigger, kill. Yeah...that takes a lot of skill.

Isn't that the point of the game? What do you want, a sniper rifle that is blind, can't going into scope, cannot shoot, and doesn't kill?
