The 12th Annual Director's Cuts Gift Guide
OK, you've bought Kanye West's best-selling album for your boyfriend, you'll stuff the Taylor Swift CD into your sister's stocking and you've downloaded The Beatles onto a new iPod for your mom and dad. What else is out there for the music fans on your holiday shopping list? Weekend Edition's Ned Wharton is back with the 2010 edition of his Director's Cuts Music Gift Guide.
Director's Cuts Music Gift Guide For 2010
Next Girl
- Artist: Black Keys
- Song: Next Girl
- From: Brothers
Here's the rock cd that's been wearing out my music player this year: two guys with a big sound -- guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney--a.k.a The Black Keys. On their latest CD, "Brothers," they're still rocking a gritty blues sound, with many of the cuts recorded in a place famous for 60's and 70's R&B: Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama. The cinderblock building on Jackson Highway hadn't been used as a working recording studio for years, but Auerbach and Carney arranged to lay down some tracks in the space... "We went there for inspiration," says engineer Mark Neill, "and by God, we got it. In spades, and ghosts!"
Twilight Curtain
- Artist: Brandi Disterheft
- Song: Twilight Curtain
- From: Second Side
In my annual music guide, I usually try to present albums for a wide range of musical tastes. At first, I thought this one would appeal to jazz fans, but I soon discovered that Canadian bass player Brandi Disterheft covers a much wider playing field. Other tracks have indie rock grooves, and on "Twilight Curtain" she serves up some smooth pop.
- Artist: El Guincho
- Song: Bombay
- From: Pop Negro
For the world music and alt-latino fan, my pick this year is from Spain--El Guincho's Pop Negro. El Guincho was born in the Canary Islands and now lives in Barcelona: his real name is Pablo Diaz-Reixa. Reixa has also moved in film and television circles, and contributed to the soundtrack of Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Diaz-Reixa says he used to play in punk bands but gravitated towards Brazilian Tropicalia and sounds from the Caribbean. In this track you can hear a hint of steel drums in the background.
Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everyone Talking About Him)
- Artist: Harry Nilsson
- Song: Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everyone Talking About Him)
- From: Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)
Nilsson is perhaps best known for recordings of songs he DIDN'T write, including the classic hit "Everybody's Talkin'" from the movie "Midnight Cowboy," and his soaring tenor brings chills on the song "Without You." But Harry Nilsson did write plenty of his own brilliant songs including "Jump Into the Fire," "Coconut" and "One," which was a huge success in the 70's for Three Dog Night. In the documentary DVD, we learn about his friendships with the Beatles, songwriters Jimmy Webb and Randy Newman, and Monty Python alumni Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam. We also hear a lot about how Nilsson liked to party, a lifestyle that led to his death in 1994 at age 52. Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees and comedian Robin Williams remember how you'd need to brace yourself when Harry called looking for a friend to go out on a bender.
Purchase Featured Music
Your purchase helps support NPR Programming. How?
- Artist: Janus
- Song: Keymaster
- From: I Am Not
Janus is a Brooklyn-based trio with Amanda Baker who plays flute, violist Beth Meyers, and harpist Nuiko Wadden. The group takes its name from the two-faced Roman god who sees both forward and back, and their new cd, "I Am Not" seems to point towards chamber music both past and future.
Lento e Largo Movement
- Artist: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
- Song: Lento e Largo Movement
- From: Gorecki Symphony No. 3
Also in the classical realm, this year we marked the passing of a composer whose music moved listeners deeply. Polish composer Henryk Gorecki died last month at age 76. He was something of a one-hit composer, but that single composition was powerful: his Symphony No. 3, known as the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs," was inspired in part by a prayer scratched on a cell wall in Gestapo headquarters during the Nazi era. This year, a remastered audiophile edition of a 1995 recording was released from Britain's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Yuri Simonov.
Ave Maria
- Artist: Sonos
- Song: Ave Maria
- From: December Songs
This is a new release from the inventive acappella group Sonos. December Songs features seasonal favorites including "O Holy Night" and "I Saw Three Ships." Also on the CD is "Ave Maria," but not the one you're thinking of: this is by Sonos singer Priscilla Rachel Bearer.
On Christmas Night
- Artist: The Revels Chrous And Revels Children
- Song: On Christmas Night
- From: Welcome Yule: An English Christmas Revels
The late John Langstaff launched the Revels to celebrate Christmas and the Winter Solstice in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1971. But anyone's who's witnessed the Revels knows it's not just a stodgy stage performance -- it's more like a Renaissance fair with actors and dance and audience participation. The organization has grown quite a bit in 4 decades, and now there are Revels companies in 10 cities -- this weekend they get under way in Portland, Oregon and Washington, DC. This selection, 'On Christmas Night' is from the Revels 40th Anniversary cd released this year.

Accenture Joins DuPont Saying Ukraine Issue Blurs Outlook
Accenture Plc said the crisis in Ukraine is causing "uncertainty in the marketplace," joining companies from DuPont Co. to Commercial Metals Co. in bracing for a potential financial fallout from Russia's confrontation with its neighbor.
"We are carefully monitoring the recent geopolitical developments in eastern Europe," Accenture Chairman Pierre Nanterme said today on a conference call. The global economic environment "frankly continues to be challenging, especially in the emerging markets," he said.
Russia's annexation of Crimea, in Ukrainian territory, has drawn sanctions from the U.S. and Europe. The tensions have sent ripples throughout emerging markets, with bond sales in developing countries falling 23 percent to $247 billion in the first quarter even after the busiest start of a year on record.
Accenture, the world's second-largest technology-consulting company, has been counting on expansion in emerging markets to help make up for sluggish growth in western Europe and the U.S. The Dublin-based company got 40 percent of its $7.13 billion in sales last quarter from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A spokesman for Accenture declined to comment on Nanterme's remarks.
Shares of Accenture dropped 5 percent to $78.80 at the close in New York, the biggest one-day drop since June 28, 2013.
DuPont, Metals
Accenture trails International Business Machines Corp. in the technology-consulting industry. IBM's fourth-quarter revenue from Europe, the Middle East and Africa fell 2 percent last quarter from a year earlier, led by Russia. The company has had operations in Russia since 1972, according to its website.
James Sciales, a spokesman for IBM, declined to comment on its business in eastern Europe.
DuPont, the largest U.S. chemical maker, said this month disruptions in Ukraine, along with cold weather in North America, will weigh on its first-quarter sales and earnings. Seed deliveries are being harmed by unrest in Ukraine, the world's third-largest corn exporter, the company said last month.
Steel producer Commercial Metals said today the political situation in Ukraine could have a negative impact on its European operations. General Electric Co. and Boeing Co. have also said they are closely monitoring developments in the area.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's standoff against the U.S. and its allies over Ukraine, the worst since the Cold War, is threatening to tip his country's economy into recession after last year facing the slowest growth since 2009.
Hollywood Films
The disturbance has created renewed risk for Hollywood film studios, which represent about 70 percent of ticket sales in Russian theaters. An effort in Russia's Duma to impose a 50 percent limit on foreign films playing inside the country has gained new attention.
Crimea's new status has also made it impossible to distribute films in the territory under existing Ukrainian contracts, Vadim Smirnov, general director of 20th Century Fox CIS, told the Hollywood Reporter. The situation is unclear and changing daily, Chris Petrikin, a spokesman for Fox in Los Angeles, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News.
U.S.-based companies are the largest source of foreign investment in Russia, primarily in technology and financial services, according to a 2013 report by Ernst & Young. Business interests in the country have been growing after the nation joined the World Trade Organization in 2012, according to the report.
The U.S. Senate and House passed separate bills today imposing additional sanctions on Russian officials for the nation's annexation of Crimea. The Senate bill, passed on a voice vote, includes about $1 billion in loan guarantees and authorizes $150 million in direct assistance to Ukraine. The House legislation would impose additional asset freezes and visa bans on senior Russian officials and corporations.

Congratulations, Bradley Justice, "Barbie's Best Friend"!
We're thrilled to announce that our own Bradley Justice, former region 8 director and contributing editor to Doll News, has been given the "Barbie's Best Friend" award. The award was presented by Carol Spencer at this year's Barbie Convention in Nashville, TN.
Bradley told us,
I am home from Barbie convention and wanted to let you know that at this year's convention I was awarded "Barbie's Best Friend", it's the most prestigious and only award given at Barbie convention and it has only been given out 22 of the 35 conventions. I was honored for my work with Doll News Magazine and the research and preservation of the Barbie collection at UFDC.
I think this is a wonderful step in the right direction of bringing Barbie people and UFDC together.
As mentioned, Bradley Justice is the former Region 8 Director for UFDC, and Curator for the Doll and Miniature Museum of High Point, North Carolina. Bradley has devoted most of his adult life to his hobby. Although a lover of antique French fashion dolls and cloth dolls from his home state of North Carolina, he has recently returned to his original passion, the Barbie doll. Bradley has curated three museum exhibits with Barbie as the subject, as well as written and provided many programs on the subject. A founding member of the Queen Anne's Revenge Doll Club, Bradley is a member of three additional UFDC doll clubs. In 2008, Bradley was the recipient of UFDC Award of Excellence for the Display of Dolls.
Congratulations, Bradley!

Sometimes collecting becomes more than a hobby. A new series of short films called Monomania L.A. profiles people who've obsessively collected everything related to a single aspect of Los Angeles history, from the California orange to the Santa Monica beach.
Call them "monomaniacs." People like David Boulé, who for some reason, buy one thing, and then another thing like it.
"I have the collectors gene," Boulé …

Mixer: The state of a border state, where Murrieta marks the spot
This week, House Speaker John Boehner said it'll be difficult to monetarily address the flow of undocumented kids across the U.S./Mexico border, until the 2008 law that allowed their travels to the aforementioned place is changed. Boehner said the anti-trafficking regulations that were put in place during the waning year of the Bush administration are being abused, and that he doesn't foresee much progress …

Mixer: Reporting from a foreign land is tough – just ask a Brit in LA
For people who are not familiar with Los Angeles – who aren't from here, but have to report about the things happening around here, particularly from a media and business standpoint – our neighborhood can be a pretty daunting place.
All the eccentricities, idiosyncrasies, and moving parts behind-the-scenes make for all kinds of drama fit for an epic Hollywood screenplay.
But in real life, Matthew …

How do you ladies explain to your jobs when you need to take a day off?Ā I have a male boss and I often have to let him know that I need to take the day (esp lately in this last stretch) but I dont want him to think I'm just being lazy.Ā How do you word your reasons for needing a sick day without giving TMI (seems like everything is TMI at this pt!)
Calling in to Work
That's what she said.
Sofia Jane was born 7/24/11. :)
I've always just simply said "I've been sick all night and am┬Āunable to go very far from the bathroom." That way you're not giving gory details, and they NEVER ask exactly what's going on. Works every time.
I'm not required to give a detailed excuse, however, I usually say that I'm not feeling well (strong migranes, contractions, etc) and waiting to hear a call back from the OBGYN.┬Ā That usually scares my boss enough to want to let me rest and not bother me by calling back. Although, my boss is female and knows all the delights of pregnancy. If I'm really not feeling up to it I simply tell the truth.┬Ā I'm exhausted and haven't slept at all during the night.┬Ā
2 Boys + 1 Little Lady = TUBES TIED!
The princess arrived 07/26/11!
I havent called in at all but I suppose that if I do that I will call her and tell her Im not feeling well. My DF works there too so she would likely ask him any questions she needed to or text me if she was worried.
Employers dont require a detailed explanation. You just need to say your not feeling well and not coming in. If they need a dr note, they will ask and still you dont need to explain in details.
I say that I'm not feeling well and that's it.┬Ā I have a female supervisor and she accepts that.┬Ā Now when I get back, she may ask what was wrong and I may or may not say.
Okay, well that makes me feel much better to hear what you ladies are saying- I mean usually when I am not pregnant I will tell my boss what is going on- flu, nasty cold, etc...so now that I have a multitude of issues going on that are ever-present and sometimes just get REALLY bad I feel like I don't know what to say (like my feet are always swollen but sometimes I just cant walk and have to put them up/soak them)- also I obsess about calling into work bc I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder so I do the overthinking/obsessing thing (which is worse lately with these hormones, lol!)┬Ā I guess I should remember that I'm 8 mos pregnant (36 weeks) and that alone is prob enough of a reason!
That's what she said.
I work at home so that's not a worry.┬Ā I can work around how my body and mind are feeling.┬Ā
Mom to: Brianna 19, Dustin (SIL) 18, Michael 15, Cheyenne 14, Katarina 12, Violetta 10, Logan 8, and Jaxton 9/3/11!
I've only called in once b/c my blood pressure was really high.It was doctors order from the day before so thats all i told my boss & she was fine with that.

Rory Johnson is hungry but there's not a restaurant in Oxford that can serve up a dish to fulfill his appetite.
After two years at Hinds Community College, Johnson finally practiced with a Southeastern Conference football team Tuesday afternoon. The linebacker, originally from Vicksburg, isn't the normal junior college transfer, however.
He signed out of high school in 2004 with Mississippi State but failed to meet academic requirements and enrolled at Hinds. There he overcame a torn ACL from his senior year in high school and excelled on the field as an Eagle. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Relay for Life of Logan County
Relay For Life is a community event where everyone can participate in the fight against cancer. Corporate employees, friends, church groups, and neighbors join together in teams and take turns walking or running on a track throughout this overnight event. This event is not a race, therefore participants may casually walk or run at whatever pace they are comfortable. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event—because cancer never sleeps.
Relay teams of 8-15 people camp out on the surrounding grounds and enjoy music, dancing, games and picnics. There is entertainment and fun for people of all ages! The Relay also creates a unique sense of a community of people fighting for a common cause – to cure cancer!
Before we begin walking at the Relay For Life, team members, survivors, families and friends assemble at the track. Inspirational speakers then remind everyone of the reason for this event: finding a cure for cancer and honoring those who have battled the disease.
The Survivors Kickoff the event by walking the first lap around the track. No survivor walks alone; they walk together offering support, camaraderie and hope. The Survivors' Walk is very emotional time for everyone at the Relay. As the survivors walk their lap, participants, family members and friends line the track and cheer them on. During the Relay For Life, cancer survivors are invited to a reception held in their honor following the first lap.
Cancer touches so many people. In order to remember those who we have lost and honor those who are courageously battling cancer, we light luminaria at dusk. Individuals donate $10 to place luminaria around the track. Each luminaria is inscribed with the name of the person to be honored or remembered. When the sun goes down, the luminaria are lit. To all present it is a very special time. The luminarias light the track for the rest of the evening
