The official MidPoint Music Festival guide, featuring preview blurbs on all 186 artists performing at this year's fest, is on the streets now to help make your MPMF.12 itinerary-planning a little easier. Yesterday, when the issue had just come out, I already had a handful of people asking me who my top picks were for the fest. Writing and/or reading and editing 186 paragraphs about 186 bands does things to your mind that I can't even explain, so I had to beg off. But I'm ready now.
Starting today, exactly two weeks before MPMF.12 kicks off in the venues of Over-the-Rhine and Downtown, we're beginning the "Daily MPMFer," a daily dose of recommendations for who to see at the festival, should you have a hole in your personal schedule. We'll post three blurbs a day — one about a bigger, more known act, one about a slightly more under-the-radar "sleeper" and one about a local band. I'll also add a song sample or music video to each to give MPMF-goers an even better sense of the artists' talents. (The blurbs were written by myself, the legendary Brian Baker and scrappy up-and-comer Deirdre Kaye, both of whom were hugely helpful compiling our beast of a guide this year.)
There are so many great performers at this year's fest, we probably won't get to all the worthy contenders, but we'll get you started (you have to do some exploring on your own). And, when in doubt, always go with the artist with "(Cincinnati, OH)" next to their name; all of our hometown MPMFers are worthy of your attention. Be sure to grab a guide (there should be plenty floating around come fest time) and start mapping out your long weekend of music.
We'll also add any MPMF updates — crucial or otherwise — in these "Daily MPMFers," to keep you abreast of the latest developments. You can also click here for our MPMF hub on citybeat.com, with feature stories, MPMF-related tweets and more.
Today's big news — three-day wristbands are selling quick and may well sell out. Be sure to grab yours immediately for the best pricing deal (limited one-day tickets will be $50 or you can pay individual cover charges which will add up quickly). Click here for more ticket info.
Hospitality (Brooklyn, NY)
Indie Pop
Driven by the singular Pop song stylings of Amber Papini, Hospitality first caught attention with a lo-fi, untitled EP, which garnered a rare glowing review from Pitchfork. The band signed with legendary Indie Rock label Merge and released its self-titled full-length debut for the label earlier this year. At its core, Hospitality's music has some of the primal vibe of early '90s K Records releases, but the sophisticated arrangements wrapped around Papini's compellingly unique voice give the album a depth those artists were rarely capable of.

Hospitality performs at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, on the Grammer's/Dewey's Pizza stage. Check out the band's emotionally-heavy new video for the track "Eighth Avenue."

Cincinnati crew The Ohms have built an impressive career over the past decade-plus, starting out in the '00s as a popular draw on the "Jam band" circuit as Four Ohms, before shifting gears and developing a surprisingly unique twist on the Rock-meets-Reggae hybridization, a pairing that everyone from Eric Clapton, The Clash and The Police to modern players like No Doubt, The Aggrolites and Matisyahu has flirted with and/or embraced since the '70s.
Changing the band name to simply The Ohms a few years back (and garnering some national industry attention), the now stripped-down three-piece is in top fighting shape, sounding better than ever, as their recently released second album, Press On, proves beyond a shadow of a spliff. They're a lean, mean skankin' machine with a fresh coat of Modern Rock paint glazed atop.
Press On succeeds through careful and crafty, yet very natural-feeling, mixology — the Rock and Reggae elements never get in each other's way, feel forced or fight for space in The Ohms' groove-driven mix, a testament to the musicians' abilities as arrangers and writers. The title track, for example, sounds like a perfectly natural jam session between Green Day and Rancid. A minute into the track, the Punk/Pop-like drive drops to a head-bobbing flow of buoyant, vintage Reggae rhythms, '70s-styled songcraft and Ska horns.
The album continues with that basic blueprint throughout, but few tracks are predictable and there are variations galore. "Vampire" is a voodoo strut that explodes into a huge, engulfing chorus, while elsewhere the band tinkers with the full range of Reggae sounds, styles and approaches (from Roots to Ska to Dub, grunting toasting to full-voiced, highly melodic melodies) and welds them together with the musicians' excellent grasp of Classic Rock and top-notch musicianship.
Reggae and Ska remain two of the more maligned genres in music (usually unfairly … and it always comes back around), but The Ohms have such an addictive energy, even the most hardened "Pfft — Reggae sucks" protestor won't be able to resist bobbing along to the contagious beats and rhythm.
Fresh on the heels of the release of Press On, The Ohms have been focused on this weekend's big Ohmstead music festival at Hannon's Camp America (hannonscampamerica.com) near Oxford.
Ohmstead is now entering its 11th year, which certainly puts the event amongst some of the longest running artist-built festivals of its kind in the region. For this weekend's (Friday and Saturday, plus a little Sunday morning/afternoon action) Ohmstead blowout, The Ohms have joined forces with Wham Bam Thank You Jam fest to help manage and operate a big "Ohmstead Wham Bam Thank You Jam" conglomo-fest, which once again features an impressively diverse lineup of inventive music makers, mostly from across Ohio.
The multi-act festival — with The Ohms performing both nights, as has become tradition — presents everything from progressive Psychedelic Jam Rock (Cincy's Mr. Brown's Mysterious Sounds), Kent, Ohio-based Ambient/Electronic/Industrial musician Pyrosonic, smooth acoustic guitarist Brian Henke (from Bay Village, Ohio) and fellow Reggae squad Soul Rebels (from straight outta Yellow Springs), promising Cincy Alt/Psych/Garage/Rock foursome Lemon Sky, retro-tinged local rockers Tattered Roots, popular touring "Hippie-Hop Jam Rock" outfit Boogie Matrix (Toledo) and Northern Ohio Jam band Aliver Hall, which showcases former Four Ohms member Alex Hall on guitar and vocals. Other artists slated to appear include Dayton-based Phish tribute band Oh Kee Pa, Dayton Funk rockers Magic Jackson, Oxford area Blues band Bad Men on a Mission and Nigerian-born/Cincy-based AfroBeat champ Baoku Moses.

CityBeat spoke with bassist Elijah Thomson about the group's unique vision and feel and also where he feels the band is going in their evolution. Everest will be playing the Bunbury Music Festival at Cincinnati's Sawyer Point/Yeatman's Cove on Friday alongside fun., Walk the Moon, Devotchka, Tegan and Sara and many others. Everest plays the Bud Light Stage at 5 p.m. Friday.
CityBeat: What have you guys been up to since I saw you last summer at Forecastle in Louisville?
Elijah Thomson: We took a little break. We were touring with Neil Young at the end of the year, which was really fun. We were a little beat down from a year of touring. We took probably about six months off. We did a little tour in April with Minus the Bear, so we sort of violated our own hiatus to go out with those guys, but that was better. We just did a couple weeks' run from L.A. to Chicago, so we went out there to do a couple dates.
CB: I know Neil Young personally picked you guys to go on tour with him and open his shows. What was the highlight of playing with him?
ET: It has been pretty sweet over the years getting to tour with Neil and obviously a total honor to be able to play with an artist of that caliber and a living legend, as far as I am concerned.
On a certain level, it is still a gig — you know, driving and loading in and out and all that kind of stuff. I think for me personally, watching a guy like Neil night in and night out, it sort of proves that sort of mystical thing in music, what is compelling about somebody that can sustain them for so long.
People are coming out in droves to see Neil and for me it is a personal study on art and what it is that enamors people with art. With Neil, I think it is primarily an honesty with his art. He will put it out there. The first song on his new record is like 27 minutes long. That's the kind of bravery that comes from having nothing to prove and I think for them, like us, we have to understand why that is important and to find a formula that works, but also (be) true to ourselves and true to our own desires musically. That is a process. It has not been instantaneous, but I think we are sort of on the verge of realizing that ourselves.
CB: Did Neil give you any advice?
ET: I think if there ever was, it was just (to) absolutely do whatever you want and don't make any apologies and don't play it safe. It was the kind of real world wisdom that is important. It is not about playing some game. We should not be concerned where we will be classified in a musical genre. It is more about making what you feel and letting other people classify it.
CB: You guys toured pretty consistently the past few years. Do you have any crazy tour stories on the road?
ET: One of the main things we talked about from last year, we seemed to be pretty slippery when it came to crossing paths with law enforcement. We were slippery, we had no issues. I don't know how we did it. We had a couple close calls, but were able to talk our way out of it every time.
CB: Are you working on any new music right now?
ET: Yeah, the biggest change in Everest is a slight personnel change. Jason Soda, a founding member of the band, decided to resign. I don't know if I should say why, but ultimately he needed more normalcies in his life.
His replacement — I hate to put it that way — his name is Aaron Tasjan, an amazing guitar player who we met while we were on the road with Alberta Cross. He was kind of filling in for guitar and when it came up that J was going to resign, Joel and I were talking about it.
I think it was a sensitive thing — who were we going to collaborate with and how were we going to take this opportunity to improve the internal chemistry? We had a really great rapport with Aaron and when we were on the road he watched our set every night. He would open the shows doing solo stuff and we would jump on stage with him and jam with him. His spirit has been really amazing since he has been playing with us, bringing a freshness and newness that we have really desired and I think interpersonally it has been good and natural.
Also, the drummer chair has been in rotation the last year and a half or so since Davey, our original drummer, stopped playing with us. Our drummer now is a guy named Dan Bailey, a guy I have known for years. I really respected his drumming. He is an absolutely astounding drummer. It was very easy to ask him to join. Bass players and drummers generally want to choose who they are going to play with. He has known this band for a while, since I have been in it, and he has been chomping at the bit to jam with us, so we are on this new plane that we have never really experienced. It is really sort of a beautiful and fun creative discovery.
I am excited to bring this to Cincinnati. There is a great spirit going on. The plan right now is to finish out this summer touring, a couple weeks in July and a couple weeks in August on the West Coast. Then we are going to go back in the studio. The sound checks for our shows have gone into much more depth with the music; I don't like the word "jamming," so we will say "spontaneous musical landscapes." It is something we have been wanting to do for a long time and it is really amazing to go on stage and just not have it all pre-programmed, even calling out set lists on the stage, stretching songs out, kind of taking our time with things, letting things be different night after night and really encourage our creative flow together. We are really excited about getting in the studio and experimenting with this.
CB: What is your favorite bass to play?
ET: I play a Gibson Les Paul Recording bass (from) 1973. I have been playing it exclusively for about 12 years. I do own several basses. The first bass I ever had was a Gibson Les Paul Recording bass. My Dad was a bass player and he gave it to me. It was kind of his junker bass and I didn't even like it but it was something.
It sounds really stupid and mystical, because it was the bass I learned on and I kind of wore it out and it was an awkward bass, but I was always coming back to it because it was familiar.
I was playing with a guy named Richard Swift (producer, singer/songwriter and current member of The Shins), still do, a really dear friend. Right around when we first started playing together, he said, "That is the raddest bass I have ever heard. You should only use that bass when you are playing with me." I was like, "OK no problem." I basically decided that was my thing and I was going to stick with it.
I haven't played any other bass for years and years except in a studio, and even then it is only one song, maybe.
CB: Did you always want to be a musician?
ET: Like I said, my dad was a musician and so I grew up on the road and around music. My uncle owned a studio, still does, and we still work out of there a lot. I have been recording bands since I was 17 years old and have been playing music since I was 12 years old, always had guitars around. When I was a little kid I thought I was the talentless one in the family because I didn't pick it up before the age of 10. I eventually found my way. This was always what I was meant to do, in a way.
CB: Somebody the other day said that the best way to become a successful musician is to not have a backup plan.
ET: I'd say so, and I'd say most true artists would rather downgrade and live in a shack and still be doing what they are passionate about. It really plays into the artist mentality. I am no spring chicken, so I certainly decided I was in for life. I don't have a retirement plan. I don't ever want to stop. This is what I do. I get into other things outside of music so it is not a total obsession. I found a way to make it this far. I don't know why that would change in the future. If it does, it does, and I will figure it out. This is what works for me; there is no backup plan.
CB: Where did the band name come from?
ET: The story … I wasn't in the band when they named it and maybe I wouldn't have picked that name, but that is for another conversation.
From what I gather, Russ and Jason had named their studio Everest Recordings because of a pack of cigarettes that Geoff Emerick had. He was an engineer on a lot of the Beatles stuff and supposedly Abbey Road was originally going to be named Everest and they were going to do a photo shoot in Nepal. It became a logistical nightmare and, as the legend goes, Paul or somebody said, "Let's shoot a picture out front and be done with it." So the name Everest has significance to them, however it is sort of a common thing for something to be named.
It is hard to Google something like that. That is something you have to think about nowadays and maybe it gets lost in the shuffle a little bit.
CB: What can the fans look forward to at Bunbury seeing you guys for the first time?
ET: As a band we are really relaxed and comfortable. Every new show is an adventure. Every show we have had with this lineup has been over the top amazing.
I guess what fans can expect is the unexpected. They can expect to see some sort of fine but not some self-congratulatory musicianship, people making themselves vulnerable in front of people and making up stuff on the spot and really trying to live in that spirit of Jimi Hendrix and Zeppelin and the kind of feelings those shows had when it was a beautiful thing of stream of consciousness. I think that is something rarer these days in music. I am happy and proud to be in a band that values that part of live performance.
Everest performed at Lousiville's Forecastle fest last
summer. Check out the "A Day in the Life" Forecastle photo series with

• Macy's Music Festival — still often referred to locally as "Jazz Fest" as a nod to the fest's roots (despite a complete lack of Jazz nowadays) — returns to downtown's Paul Brown Stadium tonight and tomorrow.
The festival is a Cincinnati tradition, a true "event," regardless of what music is featured (which may explain the lackluster booking rut the fest was in for a while). But this year's Macy's Music Fest has one of the best lineups in recent memory.
Tonight's performers include headliner Jill Scott, plus Charlie Wilson, TGT (Tyreese, Ginuwine, Tank), locals The Faize Band and a rare performance by Cincinnati legend, Funk superhero and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bootsy Collins.
Charlie Wilson is fresh off of receiving the BET Awards' Lifetime Achievement honors.
And here's the crowd rockin' to Charlie at last year's Macy's Music Festival.
Saturday's lineup features newcomer Leela James, KEM, Prince's ol' pals Morris Day and The Time, Fantasia and blockbuster headliner R. Kelly, an arena-worthy star fresh off of his odd but successful (despite the many "Pee on Me!" signs in the hipster audience) 38-song, headlining appearance at the Pitchfork music festival in Chicago. But … MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME!
Morris Day and The Time - Jungle Love by DemonPreyer
Find more about the fest at macysmusicfestival.com. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Prices range from $40-$85 (only single-day tickets are available). Showtime is 7:30 p.m. each night.
• If your tastes trend more towards old-timey music and Bluegrass (and your wallet trends more towards empty), downtown's Arnold's is presenting the two-night Tito's Old Time Music Festival, running tonight and tomorrow. "Tito's" refers to sponsor Tito's Homemade Vodka, an Austin, Texas-produced spirits producer; Tito's reps will be on hand and Tito's drink specials will be plentiful. There will be also a chance to win an Epiphone acoustic guitar and purchase signed fest poster created by local poster-art great Keith Neltner.
You don't have to be a vodka enthusiast to attend — there is some great local Roots/Americana music each night. Tonight, Western Swing crew The Sidecars kick things off at 7:30 p.m., followed by My Brother the Bear, The Goodle Boys and AltCountry greats Terminal Union, which just released an amazing debut album, Making Arrangements (look for a review on this here blog soon).
MPMF news and musings: ArtWorks/Springboard Cincinnati is once again handling one of the cooler aspects of the "MidPoint Midway" (the fairgrounds-like area connecting Main to Vine streets, with food vendors, a music stage, poster expo and lots more). Last year's MidPoint Music Festival saw the introduction of the "Box Truck Carnival," where numerous local artists and organizations turned nondescript moving trucks into their own little worlds (last year, there was a theater, a skate park and a Putt Putt course).
This year, Springboard is profiling the trucks on its website leading up to the big event next week. So far, they've introduced the Art for All People truck, "Art and Music Box," where you'll be able to add your own creative paint job, and the truck by OTRimprov, which will feature improv games and "on-the-spot workshops" for aspiring UCB comedians (or just the curious). Click here to check out these and other "fun in a box" experiments.
• The other big news of the day is that one of the bigger headlining acts, Sleigh Bells, has been forced to cancel its appearance at Washington Park during the festival. The band was slated to headline the park stage at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. The full lineup for Saturday is up in the air, but will be retooled with additional acts. Expect an announcement soon.
If Sleigh Bells was the only act you wanted to see at the festival and you'd like a refund, here's the official details: "Customers who have purchased the Washington Park Saturday Ticket may choose to either keep their tickets, or may receive a refund by contacting email@example.com by the end of the day Sept. 21st. If you elect the refund, only the cost of the ticket is refunded, not the shipping or service fees. No refunds will be issued for All Music Access Passes."
Sleigh Bells guitarist Derek Edward Miller tweeted that he fractured his arm while skateboarding in Florida recently, causing the cancellation of MPMF and a few other dates.
And now, with the countdown down to just 9 days (single digits!), here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
The Walkmen (New York, NY)
Indie Rock
A dozen years since members of Jonathan Fire*Eater and the Recoys coalsced into the formidable Walkmen? It hardly seems possible. But then, neither does the band's almost supernatural string of confusingly brilliant albums, all crafted by the same line-up that began at the dawn of the new millennium; the sparse, atmospheric jangle of Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone, the intense and visceral Bows + Arrows (featuring their signature "The Rat"), the quiet beauty of A Hundred Miles Off, their weirdly wonderful cover of Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats, the powerful You & Me, the fabulous Lisbon, and their latest, Heaven, widely acknowledged as their best album to date, a phenomenal accomplishment for a band in their 13th year. Long may they walk.

The Walkmen perform Saturday, Sept. 29, on the Grammer's/Dewey's Pizza Stage at 9:15 p.m. Here is the band's music video for "The Love You Love."
Holy Ghost Tent Revival (Greensboro, NC)
Folk Rock
When a band lists the Rolling Stones and Glenn Miller as primary influences, there's a good chance their musical pegs don't fit the standard genre holes. So it is with Holy Ghost Tent Revival, a North Carolina sextet that redefines eclectic, veering from Ragtime and Hot Jazz to an electric brand of Swing and the kind of funky, rootsy Country Rock that would have made Levon Helm grin and stomp. You don't often see the Charleston breaking out in the middle of the mosh pit, but anything is possible at a Holy Ghost Tent Revival gig. Be prepared.
Dig: Squirrel Nut Zippers explore their secret love of the Band, Blood Sweat & Tears and Burt Bacharach. (BB)
Holy Ghost Tent Revival performs Saturday, Sept. 29, at Japp's at 11:30 p.m. Here's a preview of the band's just-released album Sweat Like the Old Days.
You, You're Awesome (Cincinnati, OH)
The duo You, You're Awesome has been the Cincinnati Indie music scene's go-to Dance music favorites for the past few years, blending live drums with quirky, playful soundscapes that call back to earlier electronic music pioneers. As EDM and other forms of Electronica have grown in popularity, a lot of artists seem to have a hard time figuring out how to distinguish themselves. But You, You're Awesome doesn't have that problem, emerging with a versatile sound that isn't based on any one trend. The group released several EPs before last year's debut full-length, but YYA is most fun to experience in a live setting. You can dance if you want to — everyone else will be.
Dig: Daft Punk reborn as Saturday morning cartoon characters. (Mike Breen)
You, You're Awesome are slated to play at 5 p.m. on the Washington Park stage on Friday, Sept. 28.
Here's the track and visuals for YYA's "Yippee Ki Yay Mister Falcon." Click below for a playlist featuring numerous YYA clips.

Today, the free Northside Rock n' Roll Carnival brings a little pre-Independence Day fun to Jacob Hoffner Park (at the corner of Hamilton and Blue Rock St.) in Northside. Conceived in 2005 by MOTR Pub's Chris Schadler and put into action in 2006 by Schadler and Leslie Scott, the event is also a warm-up for one of the must-see parades of the summer, the eclectic, eccentric Northside 4th of July Parade, which makes its way down Hamilton Ave. starting at noon tomorrow.
If you have not attended in the past, the "Carnival" in the event's name is key, as organizers present "side-show" fun galore — everything from fire-breathers and sword swallowers to drag performances and burlesque.
But live music is at the heart of the carnival and the assembled lineup this year once again features a great, diverse mix of groups from Greater Cincinnati, as well as a few nationally touring acts. Locals playing the Rock n' Roll Carnival this year are Cletus Romp, Jake Speed and the Freddies, Eclipse, R. Ring, The Tillers and You, You're Awesome. Headlining is Nashville's Pujol; New York's The Big Sleep and Nashville's Turbo Fruits also perform.
Here is the full lineup of event for today's Carnival:
2:30 p.m. Cletus Romp
4 p.m. Jake Speed & the Freddies
5 p.m. Eclipse
6 p.m. R. Ring
7:10 p.m. The Tillers
8:20 p.m. Turbo Fruits
9:05 p.m. Pickled Bros Side Show
9:40 p.m. You, You're Awesome
10:25 p.m. Incendium Fire Show
11 p.m. The Big Sleep
12:20 a.m. Pujol
The event is open to revelers of all ages. For more details on the Northside Rock n' Roll Carnival, click here.
If you are in the mood for some indoor (read: ACed) music while you're at the Carnival, be sure to duck into Northside Tavern for the July 4th Eve Rock and Roll Riot. Also free, the Riot gets started at 9 p.m. with Downtown Boys. The rest of the lineup features The Cave Girls, TEMPLE, Ohio Knife and DAAP Girls. Click here for set times and links to check out all the performers beforehand.

Stay Hydrated
Keeping hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Cincinnati in July can be hot. It's quite a distance from one end of the park to the other. Considering all the walking, dancing, etc., you'll need to make this a priority. Take advantage of the water stations. (NOTE: As mentioned above, don't bring water, but you can bring an empty container to fill throughout the weekend.)
We love kids. LOVE THEM! (NOTE: Kids 10 and under admitted free with a paid adult.) There are; however, some tips for those families who plan on coming to Bunbury:
- Re-read the the first part of this page. Sunscreen, staying hydrated, etc. is even more important for kids.
- A stroller or small wagon is permitted. The park is large, kids will get tired and you don't want to carry them.
- Head phones or ear plugs for ear protection.
- A first aid kit; Band-Aids and Neosporin always come in handy.
- Baby wipes are awesome. Even if you don't have a kid they can be great to have!
- Feeding your baby formula? Please use plastic bottles with disposable liner bags.
A limited amount of early-bird passes to the 2015 MidPoint Music Festival are on sale now. Tickets good for all three days of the fest are available for $69, while V.I.P. passes are only $149. Once this first batch of passes is gone, weekend passes will be $79 (and $179 for V.I.P.s) through Labor Day, when another $10 price increase kicks in. The tickets are available for purchase at mpmf.cincyticket.com.
MPMF has also announced a new date shift. After 14 years of running Thursday-Saturday, MidPoint 2015 will take place Friday, Sept. 25-Sunday, Sept. 27. Organizers say the move was to make things easier for out-of-town guests (who previously might not have been able to make the Thursday shows) and also allow for more daytime programming opportunities, including in Washington Park, which is expected to see an increase in attractions and music showcases.
Stay tuned here and at MPMF.com (where artists can also submit for showcase consideration through May 17) for the latest MidPoint developments. You can also follow MPMF on Twitter here and Facebook here for more up-to-date info.
MPMF news and musings: Kick-ass longtime MPMF sponsor Dewey's Pizza is giving away a trio of special "Next Level Experience" passes for you and two of your closest friends (or, I suppose, you could give them to people you hate, though that would just be kinda weird).
If you win, you'll receive a three-day wristband and one night at the Dewey's Pizza/Grammer's stage in the best seat in the house (which appears to be a couch positioned very close to the stage). For more on Dewey's Next Level Experience contest, click here.
And now, with the countdown down to just 13 days, here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks, today featuring all Ohio artists …
Cloud Nothings (Cleveland, OH)
Punk Pop
From his parents' basement, Dylan Baldi created and released several acclaimed lo-fi recordings as Cloud Nothings before his 2009 EP, Turning On, pinged the critics' radar and scored positive reviews on all the right blogs. Almost immediately, Baldi had to assemble a band to play the gigs that were offered to him, resulting in lots of touring and his slightly shinier 2011 self-titled full-length. This year has seen the release of the even more expansive Attack on Memory and a string of upcoming opening dates for Silversun Pickups. Not a bad three years for a Hardcore obsessed kid from Cleveland.
You'll Dig It If You Dig: The idea of Tommy Keene and Kevin Seconds stirring up some Pop and some Punk for a Husker Du tribute. (Brian Baker)
Cloud Nothings perform at Midnight on Friday, Sept. 28, at the Cincinnati Club. Here's the official music video for Cloud Nothings' "No Future/No Past."

Hello, Hello, Hello!!! So today I am writing in the lovely sunshine that Eugene as decided to embrace us with and I could not be happier. It appears the Ducks brought back some of that lovely New Mexico sunshine. Any way, back to reality. The Ducks adventured off on yet another trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico to take on the University of New Mexico Lobos and the University of Colorado Buffs. My roommate (Emmanuelle Cor) and I woke up bright-and-early on Wednesday morning at the great hour of 3:30 a.m. for a 6:00 flight out of Eugene. When we arrived to a bit chilly but sunny Albuquerque we headed for the courts to enjoy some high altitude hitting! Afterwards the team then, of course, enjoy another Cutler-McDevitt homemade dinner; which was perfect for the exhausted and hungry group of girls. Thursday, us girls had a little bit more time to catch to some z's with practice at a wonderful 9:00. After the morning practice we were granted the treat of an amazing lunch at IL VACINO'S (something that Maja and I were ecstatic about). As a friendly reminder, Albuquerque is not only my home town, but also where Maja played at UNM and therefore her second home-away-from-home. Needless-to-say, we were PUMPED for some good eating. However, the fun did not end with the good food. After Thursday's afternoon hit, Maja, Emma, and I sought out for an adventure at Albuquerque's Historic Old Town; and an adventure is exactly what we found. While Emma was fascinated by and admired the New Mexican architecture, Maja and I were simply enjoying the familiarity of the area. Little did I know that there is a rattle snake museum in old town. One thing for sure, is that Maja did! And that is exactly where we found ourselves along with the ugliest naked frog any of us had ever seen, some big and ugly spiders, and A LOT of snakes. It was AWESOME! But let us not forget that the reason we all traveled to the Land of Enchantment was to play some rockin' tennis. After a long day of waiting, the Ducks finally walked into the bubbles to play the Lobos on Friday at 5:00 ready to rock and roll. And that is exactly what we did. The Ducks finished with a 7-0 win over the New Mexico Lobos. We then went straight to bed to prepare for the next morning match. Sadly the Ducks came up a little short and had a disappointing loss to the Colorado Buffs. However, we are now back in action in a beautiful sunny day here in Eugene, ready to take on this weekends matches against the University of Minnesota and the University of Alabama. Friday the Ducks will take on University of Minnesota Gophers at 12:00 p.m. followed by Saturday morning's match against the Alabama's Crimson Tide at 10:30.

"Most beautiful little town in the Julian Alps" Bled by OH_DK
Bled Travel Guide: 782 reviews and 1,919 photos
Since 1981 I've visited this town more than 20 times. I have very good friends there and Bled and Slovenia is one of my favorite places to go traveling in Europe. Bled has a beautiful lake with a little island "Blejski Otok" with a church on and a few houses - in fact it's the only island in the country. Right beside the lake there's a 100 m high limestone cliff with Bled Castle that dates back to 11th century. Because of the beauty of the area it is very touristic in summertime and there's a lot of hotels in town. From Bled Castle there's a great view to the highest mountain "Triglav" in direction west, and if you look in direction north-east you see the Karavanke mountains that border to Austria.
If you visit Bled during winter you can reach the skiing resorts Vogel and Kranjska Gora in about 40 minuttes by car. There's even a little ski slope right beside the lake "Straza" but the last few years there was not enough snow.
I recommend a walk around the lake just before sunset. Good time for making a nice photo.
If you like a little 2 hours hike then go to the western side of the lake and take the trail to the 756m mountain/hill "Osojnica" (to a Dane this is a high mountain ;-))
It takes less than one hour to hike to the top where you have this great view of the lake.
See more information on Bled homepage
- Pros:Beautiful lake, many attractions, very friendly Mayor
- Cons:Too many tourists in high season
- In a nutshell:One of my favorite places in Europe

Edit Article
How to Ask Your Crush if They Like You (Teens)
Do you go crazy after trying to find out if your crush likes you back? Why don't you just ask them?
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Wait for a day when your crush is in a good mood and seems to be paying attention to you.
2Pull your crush aside from everyone else. Asking in front of someone else puts on pressure and they will most likely say no.
3Start by telling your crush that you've noticed that they act like they have a crush on someone. After establishing that they do have a crush on somebody, ask who it is. Make sure you sound sincere, and not like you just have to know. If it helps, tell them that you won't tell anyone. (You shouldn't tell anyone, anyway, unless it's okay with them.)
4If they say that it's you, tell them that's great, and you like them back. If they say somebody else, then tell them you like them anyway. (Who knows, it could change their answer)
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Make sure you and your crush are getting along really well, and look for signs of them liking you back(ex: wanting to be near you, they look at you in class, etc.)
- If things don't work out, and you told them how you feel, then ask them if you can be friends then. If you don't, things will get awkward.
- Don't cry, people around you will ask what's going on and you'll cry harder.
- Love will find its way in!! Don't worry!
- If it didn't work out, you're just not meant to be, at the moment.
- Always think on the bright side if they don't like you there is someone else out there waiting for love too.

By now if you're reading this, it's likely that you know how the Twins lost, what went wrong, what could have went better, and everything in between. It was game one, and there are still 161 remaining.
With the heavily anticipated day now over, it's time to just focus on baseball and they'll start that tonight with Nick Blackburn against Erik Bedard.
The atmosphere at the Metrodome was great. A sellout crowd that didn't have much to cheer about was still alive, probably because there is no other feeling like Opening Day. After a long winter of waiting for moves, the 25 players took the field in a game that actually mattered.
Two thoughts:
Michael Cuddyer needs to swing. Three strikeouts is bad enough, but when two of them come looking, there's something wrong. Cuddyer wasted a great opportunity in the first inning, and then later in the game as well. Looking at pitches doesn't do much to protect Morneau.
Liriano was good, just not as good as King Felix. Allowing four hits and four runs in seven innings isn't awesome, but considering that he had no walks and that one of the home runs barely cleared the fence, Liriano was pretty sharp in his first trip to the mound.
The games ahead will be talked about in much more depth, but being at the game and all it was difficult to do much for this first game of the season.

A ground cover type such as one of the knockout varieties is suitable for beginners. So to is the star rose. Many of the polyanthas and floribundas are also tolerant of neglect. Perhaps stay away from the more fussy roses such as the gallicas and other old styles, they tend to need a little more care with things like diseases and pests.
If you want to have a go at growing climbers, you can't go wrong with planting a banksiae. Stick it in the ground and as long as it gets enough sun and water then it will grow and flower for you!
In recent years, there's been a lot of advances in plant technology and care. Many species and breeds are made specially to be easy going and low maintenance. They still have their characteristic great blooms and scents though.
We'll show you how to pick the right species for your climate and environment. You'll learn the right times to plant and seed your plants. We'll review the best methods for pruning and care. We'll even help with some of the best ways to work with your cut flowers. After the season, learn how to properly winterize your roses, if you live in a cold climate like me. The rest of you, well, enjoy those winter bloomers!
Follow the links for more information on basic steps to get started in the process:
Care of Roses– Start at the beginning, and get an overview of what's involved with growing roses.
Planting– Doing a poor job with your plant can leave it with weak roots. Make sure to get it done right.
Pruning– Sometimes your blooms need a little trim so they can have room to sprout and re-grow. Learn how to do it correctly.
Cutting– A vase full of vibrant bloomers looks great in a kitchen or dining room. Learn how to do it yourself.
Propagating– A little more advanced, but we'll see how you can easily build up your garden and share the wealth.
Winterizing– Make sure that your roses can weather the cold weather and come back even stronger in the spring!.

For a complaint regarding the results deadline is 15 minutes after results have been posted (published by a President of the Commissaires panel).
a) The paths SMALL and CLASSIC split in Tićan (40 km), at the intersection 3 km after Višnjan. Warning signs will be placed at an adequate distance from the splitting point. The paths merge again in Marušići, at 109 km CLASSIC and 63 km SMALL course.
b) Dangerous trail points - railway crossing at 64 km of CLASSIC course, after Sveti Petar u šumi, damaged pavement with many patches between 86 km and 90 km downhill towards Motovun and further to the Livade.
On the SMALL course the only point to highlight is downhill from Vižinada to Ponte Porton from 47 km - 52 km, no major damage, just only ribbed asphalt.
On the CLASSIC course the point to emphasize is the passage through Momjan and downhill immediately after, according to the place Valle - technically very demanding part with narrow and fast downhill, smaller damage on the narrow pavement between 111 km and 113 km.
c) The most demanding climbs
1. Ponte Porton - Šaltarija 56 km; (4,5km length, 275m altitude)
2. Livade - Oprtalj 92 km; (4,8 km length, 300m altitude)
d) There will be an official vehicle (yellow light) in the race till 30 minutes behind the leading rider. All the riders riding behind the vehicle will not be provided road protection and ride at their own risk, therefore they are kindly asked to obey traffic regulations.
e) There will be another vehicle till 60 minutes behind the leading rider. All the riders lagging behind it will be excluded from the race. Regardless, the direction signs on the trail will remain at their positions for a certain time after the above period.
f) Feed zones and technical zones:
1. Tinjan (56. km) – classic
2. Škropeti (80. km) - classic
3. Kremenje (111. km) - classic
4. Vižinada (47. km) – small
5. Kremenje (66. km) - small
6. Umag (finish line)
In addition, lunch will be provided at the finish line for all participants, only upon presentation of the coupon received at registration (when picking up race numbers).
The track encompasses all the diversity of Istria, which makes it particularly interesting. From a competitive point of view, the track is not too demanding – the only ascent is to Oprtalj, which begins at the 98th kilometre and is 6 kilometres in length, with an altitude difference of 300 metres, and therefore clearly represents a selective part of the track. Prepare a gear of at least 39x25, or even 39x27. Most likely, the group will have been significantly reduced up to this point. After the ascent, more than 40 kilometres remain to the finish line, which gives everybody a chance to catch up with the race. Between the 103rd and the 106th kilometre you will encounter two humps on the road – we recommend that you prepare well for them mentally, as they are steep and break up the rhythm, particularly if you're already at your limit. Passing through Momjan is the technically most demanding part of the race, particularly when it comes to the descent towards Valle at the 107th kilometre – the road is very narrow, with sharp turns that demand precision and skill. The scenery is bound to leave everyone breathless. The last 20 kilometres of the race, descending slowly towards Umag, are very fast and favour groups that homogeneously work together. Nearing the finish line, keep your wits about you and play it smart. Entering the last turn that is locates less than 100 metres from the finish line is of key importance here – anything worse than entering it first is not good.

This track is exceptionally interesting and, above all, dynamic. The key moment of the race is its 50th kilometre, when the ascent to Šaltarija begins – the second part of this ascent conceals a two-kilometre segment in which the incline sometimes surpasses 14%. The ascent is 5 kilometres in length, so we advise that you establish a pace that will get you to the top with the smallest lag possible, and only attempt to catch up with the leaders of the race after that. Choose a gear of at least 39x27. Keep in mind that, after this ascent, there won't be a descent that will allow you to catch your breath – the terrain is rolling and demands your best effort. Be cautious between the 60th and 64th kilometre of the track –two sharp bumps on the road before Momjan will break up the rhythm, while the technically demanding descent through Momjan and immediately after it demands your full attention. The track offers an opportunity to catch up and enter the group for the winning sprint. Within the sprint itself, there is an obstacle in the form of a 90-degree turn less than 100 from the finish line – aim for first place if you want to win the race. The landscape and its diversity are sure to delight you.

Andretti - a racing-style left turn made by motorists on surface streets ... particularly in residential areas.
Instead of making a squared-off turn - more like a right angle - the motorist takes a flatter line and briefly sweeps through the opposing lane of the cross street.
Super Andretti - an even deeper, flatter andretti: where the motorist almost clips the curb with his driver's side tire - thus saving something like .15 seconds when the "super" is compared to a safer, more conservative turn.
A classic Urban Rider response to the andretti is to loudly call out "ANDRETTI!": giving the motorist the impression that someone is swearing at him in Italian.
Another classic Rider response to a motorist cutting a corner, and missing by inches: "OLE!"

Open MQ Cluster with JDBC Store loses messages
Apr 10, 2012 6:54 AM
We have a Open MQ (version 4.5.2) HA Cluster using Oracle EE 11g as its store.
All our JMS clients are JCAPS 5.1.3 jcd's.
In some cases, when we arubtly stop another half of the cluster violently (ie. using kill -9) we sometimes experience message loss. Lost messgaes are in no queue. When we kill both halves in short time, we experience message loss practically every time.
Log's seem to indicate that the messages are lost in a XA tranaction that reads one message ffrom a topic or a queue, and writes one or more messages to another queue.
Any tips on how to debug this? or how to fix it event?
We have already tried using several different configurations reagarding threadpool models, implicit caching and client acknowledgement (AckOnAcknowledge, AckOnProduce) configurations.
This content has been marked as final.

Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
James Randi exposes popularly-accepted fakery by discussing with his audience everything from ESP to dowsing, from academic frauds to faith healers. Randi reveals what really took place in the last three decades in the labs of various prestigious "think tanks" that verified a series of simple magicians tricks as genuine miracles, thus launching a world-wide plague of misinformation, the repercussions of which can still be felt today.
This unique and provocative lecture is not only educational but also highly entertaining. It attracts persons of all educational and social backgrounds and provides a rational perspective on the seemingly paranormal and otherwise unexplained happenings in our day-to-day life.
Randi began his career as the magician The Amazing Randi, appearing on countless TV shows including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, in which he appeared 32 times. You can see an appearance by watching "James Randi Debunking Psychic Surgery" on YouTube. And he has been featured occasionally on the TV show Penn & Teller: Bullshit!
In 1996, he established the James Randi Education Foundation to further his work. JREF currently offers a prize of $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural or occult power. No surprise; it remains unclaimed.
Randi is the author of numerous books, including The Truth About Uri Geller, The Faith Healers, Flim-Flam!, and An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural.
For tickets click HERE.
Randi talked for 2 hours +. Randi is The Amazing ;)

So nice to see him in person while he still has energy to make presentations! The audio didn't have a good start, but it turned out to be acceptable most of the time. Not sure what happened with the "psychic" communication demonstration with the audience member, but I couldn't stay for the question period to ask. Definitely worthwhile!

Jesse, the UC seats about 550. However, do not rely on the RSVPs on this page. We have the event listed in our other meetups, as well, plus it is distributed to many CFI members who are not members of the meetup. We will also publish it in online community calendars for Portland and the surrounding areas. To confuse matters further, people may have RSVPed but not have purchased a ticket (the ticketing link is above).

Yes, Bernie, bring the whole family!
Jesse, as Paul posted, you can be a "Friend of the Center" for as little as $5 a month. Although, we encourage you support the center with as much as you can. I like to say that if the religious can tithe 10% of their income every month to promote religion, the least we can do is donate $10 a month to promote critical thinking!

Children are permitted and welcomed. The question for every parent is how relaxed they can be having to pay attention to their child during the lecture, and how tolerant their kids are of lectures. A smartphone with a game might be a good fallback position... I used to drag my son with me everywhere. Worked fine.

EVP: Let me go.
Paul: (doing an EVP session) Como te llamos? (to Susan) I have the worst Spanish accent, ever. Mi nombre es Paul.
Susan: (correcting his Spanish) Pablo.
Paul: Pablo. Mi amigo es Susan.
Susan: Amiga.
Paul: Amiga.
Barry: (as he crawls through a tunnel in shorts) I should have wore trousers.
Kris: (wearing sandals) I should have wore sneakers!
Joe: (during an EVP session) Do you like to play practical jokes? You could scare one of us. If you scare me enough, I'll probably pee a little.
Scott: He's gonna EV Pee in his pants!
El Morro Fortress and San Cristobal Fortress are about 2 km away by road, or about 1.5 km walking directly. In between the two fortresses is the very large Cemeterio Maria Magdalena which has been the final resting place of many of Puerto Rico's most prominent citizens since its construction in 1863.
At the end of the episode, Kris and Barry wonder where they will be going for their next investigation when season 3 starts, and Kris says they should go somewhere else with beaches and palm trees. She gets her wish- the first episode of season 3 is to be located at Trinidad and Tobago.

I'm in Michigan, so pretty soon I'm going to be an icebiker (yay!). I'm pretty up to dressing in layers, but the base layer that needs to wick sweat that I generate - I'm confused. I mean Polypro. is supposed to wick sweat away from your skin, yes, but don't you also use it when exercising when it is hot? I suppose that when protected from the wind by other layers, it allows you to stay dry and thus warm though... is this correct?
Most importantly, though, which brand/material do you guys prefer? Anyone use underarmour? (the summer variety)
