The post Modest Mouse And Brand New Balance Hits, Fan Favorites And Rarities in Austin (SHOW REVIEW/PHOTOS) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
Since it was a co-headlined bill there was no opening act. Instead both bands played full sets. Due to the way Austin 360 Amphitheater is set up, Brand New opted to start forty-five minutes late waiting for the blazing Texas sun to dip low enough that it wouldn't be blinding them. Once they started playing it was extremely easy to differentiate the Brand New fans in the audience. Thousands of twenty-somethings were on their feet, screaming along to every song that was played and when they finished their set, many made their way home, having no interest in catching the set by Modest Mouse.
By the time Modest Mouse took the stage, many of the seats that had been empty during the Brand New set had filled up and many wondered out loud as to what the nature of their set list might behold. The first half of the set seemed like it was going to be one for the obsessed fans like those in the fan-made documentary "Point A to Point B: A Modest Documentary". The set started with Isaac playing "Styrofoam Boots" solo on an acoustic guitar before launching into a chunk of new songs from Strangers to Ourselves. "Sugar Boats" comes across as a sort of Om-Pah circus song while "Shit in Your Cut" is pretty subdued, but with three members playing percussion it sounded great. "King Rat" from the 2009 EP No One's First, And Your Next made an appearance as did "Black Cadillacs" from their breakout album Good News for People Who Like Bad News.
When Isaac took up the banjo to play "Satin in a Coffin" from Good News, the concert took a noticeable upturn and stayed there. With a few exceptions, the rest of the show was made up of songs from Good News and The Moon & Antarctica. Fans sang and danced along to "This Devil's Workday" and "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" and before closing the set with "The World at Large" the band played their largest hit "Float On". Whether it was to troll the people that were only sticking around for "Float On" or because he's sick of playing it at this point, Brock purposefully played his guitar out of key creating a very dissonant sound. The band kept fans hanging around by returning for the encore playing "Fire it Up" and "The Good Times are Killing Me".
While you never know what kind of experience you are going to get a Modest Mouse concert, this particular show seemed to keep a nice balance for all types of fans. The addition of extra members on stage on and off throughout kept the songs sounding great and created more stage presence especially when at times there could be ten people on stage. Without knowing how their other shows have been, it seems that this may have been a highlight on their tour and one can only hope other cities will have as good of an experience.

"It Is What It Is" set the tone for the second set. A drum segment led into a rollicking "Impressions" with Jeff Pevar sitting in on guitar. The Jazz Is Dead guitarist came back out to help finish up the show with "Shakin' The Tree." The crowd, screaming for more, brought the band out to take a bow, concluding a powerful couple of shows for Oregon Cheese fans.
Set 1: Song In My Head, These Waves > Hi Ho No Show, Midnight Moonlight, Falling Through The Cracks, Stop Drop Roll > Texas
Set 2: It Is What It Is, Smile > Drums > Impressions, Hotel Window, Sweet Spot

So far we know nothing has changed. That ambiguous ending we were left with at the end of T1 (let's just go for it y'all) was both terrifying and exhilarating as it mirrored life as we know it. Sure, we're not all junkies with a constant need for a reboot in order to get out of that lifestyle, but we know what it's like to have the best intentions and an uncertain future. Renton was either going to fuck it up, or have it all, but we were the ones who chose what we thought was best for him.
The fact that "nothing has changed" means that Renton failed. Let's be realistic, did we want to see him succeed? A little, but it was much more entertaining to watch him fuck around. If Begbie, Spud, and Sick Boy are all around it means that they've all continued this life of fuckery, or cleaned up. Do we need to see that? Do we want to? The answer is of course yes because we have no self-control. But just remember, if we're all groaning about T2 ruining the simplicity and beauty of T1, we did it to ourselves with our bullshit nostalgia. Either way, good job guys.
Trainspotting 2 is expected on February 10, 2017.

The post Suds & Sounds: Portland's Burnside Brewing Co At The Crossroads of Beer, Food and Good Tunes appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
It's no secret that Portland, Oregon is one of the best beer cities in America, if not the world. This means that, if you want to open a brewery, you better be damn good at brewing beer. Brewers generally fall into two categories: those capable of nailing classic styles and those looking to do something that has never been done before. One of the newer additions to the Portland beer scene is Burnside Brewing Co, which falls somewhere in the middle of those two categories. For founders Jay Gilbert and Jason McAdam, the basic philosophy behind Burnside since the beginning has been to focus on the delicious crossroads where food and beer intersect. Between their brewery and their pub, Gilbert and McAdam always have food in mind when it comes to brewing, and out of this comes some pretty interesting beer. Beers like their Sweet Heat, an apricot and Scotch Bonnet wheat beer that won them a gold metal at the 2012 GABF, and Lime Kolsch, which has lime zest, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, are among the unique standouts on Burnside's beer roster. Of course, this being hop-loving Portland, they also have beers like the Too Sticky To Roll India Red Ale, described as "quaffable yet chewy". All of these beers are aimed at complimenting the pub menu, which, with dishes like steak frites with marrow butter and black truffle aioli and beef carpaccio, is a step above your typical brew pub grub, to say the least.
So, where exactly does the whole music angle play into Burnside Brewing? Compared to other breweries we've featured in this column, Burnside may not be as musically intertwined on the surface, but you can rest assured that these guys like to kick out the jams. They are believers in the power of music and art, and beer of course, as positive forces for bringing together the community, and they encourage musicians to play at the brewery. Also, being in a city with a vibrant music scene means making sure their beer can be found at local venues and festivals. To get an inside look at what makes Burnside standout as a music (and food) loving brewery in Portland's busy beer scene, we caught up with co-founder Jason McAdam.
For people who may have never heard of your brewery, can you give us a little background on how it started and what kind of beers you specialize in?
Burnside Brewing opened in December of 2010 with a goal to make balanced beers of all styles that are food friendly. We have a 15 barrel brewhouse that currently has the capability of producing 5,000 barrels annually. We have 7 beers that are flagships 4 are packaged in 22oz and 2 in 12oz can six packs, 1 is a rotating seasonal. In-house we have an ever-rotating series of specialty brews that vary from barrel aged to light lagers.
How long have you been brewing and what do you consider your greatest triumph so far as a craft brewer?
This will be my 18th year brewing beer and I believe the greatest triumph as a craft brewer is starting and establishing Burnside and continuing to grow the company and the brand. The craft beer industry is ever evolving and staying up to date with beer and food trends is a fun challenge to take on.
Talk about the beer culture a bit in your city. What do people look for in a good beer and what do you hope to provide, and also do you see the beer scene as being linked in any way to the music scene?
The beer culture in Portland is and always has been about hops, as the hoppy beers hold firm as the drink of choice for Portlanders there is growth with sour beers, farmhouse and wild ales as of lately. All in all, IPA is #1.
I guess you could say the beer scene is linked to the music scene. There is an event in Portland called the Malt Ball where breweries team up with local bands to collaborate on a beer that represents both the brewery and the band, that beer is poured during the show, which features multiple bands. Music is also a large part of a brewer's day, so at Burnside whoever is brewing gets to select the music for the day. Four brewers with four different musical tastes makes for some interesting days.
A lot of breweries seem to incorporate their own musical tastes into their packaging and presentation, whether it be a collaboration with a band, a tribute label, or a beer name that references something they like. Has you brewery ever done something like this, and if so can you tell us about it?
Currently we are doing a beer series called Coax in which all beers made are hop forward regardless of style, and we also encourage customers to share a song that they are listening to while enjoying this brew [using the hashtag] #BurnsideCOAX.
Has your brewery ever brought in any bands to play?
On occasion we have brought in some live music most of which is acoustic. We just don't have the space to commit to a regular music routine unfortunately.
In your opinion, what is the absolute best band or kind of music in general for drinking beer?
As far as best band/music for drinking beer, I would have to say that mood is the deciding factor. So much music and so many beers.
Burnside Brewing Co is located at 701 E. Burnside, Portland, OR 97214. For more info check out burnsidebrewco.com.

The post 'Preacher' Inches Closer to Finale (TV REVIEW) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
If there's one problem with this first season of Preacher it's that of a lack of real progress. Being stuck in this one small town hasn't done much for them by way of plot progression no matter how interesting things get in Annville. Perhaps that's not fair of me—it's been clear from the get go that this wasn't going to be the Preacher I know and love and have read countless times; and while that's all well and good, and while I overall appreciate the direction they're going in, it's hard watching wheels spin in Annville when there's just so much more that I know they're trying to get to.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. What I know or suspect about the direction of the series is irrelevant in the fact of what we're given, which is, slow moving or no, a solid and enjoyable show that teeters the border of truly awesome. While it hasn't quite taken the dive into the waters of amazing—not since the pilot, anyways—it has stuck its toe into it, sometimes venturing far enough out to wade. It's your typical first season fare, sure, but they need to get on with it.
Last night's episode represented the best and worst qualities Preacher has offered so far, all packaged in an enjoyable façade that wasn't difficult to watch, in and of itself. As a penultimate episode, however, it was somewhat lacking. In terms of the main story, at least.
The best parts of "Finish the Song" were the bookends of The Cowboy, which finally gave us some connection between him and the present day. It opened with him coming back to Ratwater and laying waste to all its denizens in revenge for the delay that led to the death of his wife and child, becoming the most violent and gratuitous opening of the series so far. One by one, The Cowboy shot down all the men, women, and children in the town, grabbing himself a drink as a storm moves in. But more on this later.
Back in the present, Jesse is on the run after escaping from the back of Sheriff Root's squad car. It's clear from their conversation that Jesse is now a suspect in the murder of Eugene, perhaps a not inaccurate assessment of the situation. It didn't help that Jesse told the sheriff he sent his son to Hell. Again with the word choices, Jesse. Jesus.
But Jesse has a promise to live up to; he told the town he'd be calling God himself down to answer for his sins come next Sunday, and now he's got to follow through. That, of course, will depend on whether or not he can make it through the week without getting arrested. To do that, he'll need friends. And friends isn't a commodity Jesse has in abundance right now.
Tulip is still pissed about Jesse's insistence on living his new life; Emily doesn't appreciate Jesse betting the church; Cassidy is, well, still largely burnt to a crisp; and Fiore and DeBlanc have bigger concerns right now. Tulip, Emily, and Cassidy all tie together; the angels are a different story all together.
Tulip has had it with waiting on Jesse, and she's going to go get revenge on Carlos herself. The only problem with that is she's been taking care of Cassidy, who's reverted back to a more primal, animalistic state now that he's hidden in Tulip's uncle's house. Tulip asks Emily to come lend her a hand, which Emily does.
The scene itself was a bit rough; the matter-of-fact deliver of "he's a vampire" and Emily's subsequent no-questions acceptance of that as God's truth feels a bit weak, especially given the overall widespread acknowledgement of the supernatural in this world. But she seems perfectly okay, if not somewhat uncomfortable, feeding small animals to the injured vampire, that is until he screams for more.
Emily then proves she's not as goody goody as it seems when she calls the mayor over for "help". The mayor, thinking she's finally coming around to his advances, quickly leaves a makeshift fight club held by Quincannon to come to her rescue. Once at Uncle Willie's he's lured into the room Cassidy is locked in to be attacked and killed by the vampire, who's slowly regaining his strength.
Meanwhile, the angels are concerned with what they're going to do. Their choices are return to Heaven or go to Hell. After a few coin tosses, they decide to return to Heaven to face their consequences and seek help with Genesis. It's then they realize that their phone to Heaven is missing, which cuts their options in half. Hell it is.
Apparently, you can just book some travel into damnation, which is good to know for my future vacation plans. After securing passage, Fiore and DeBlanc wait for their transport, which allows the show to shoot a fantastic homage to AMC's breakout show, Breaking Bad. It was almost shot for shot a redux of Walter White's wait for the fixer, right down to the stray dog running across the street as they drove away.
Meanwhile, Jesse goes to Tulip's house to make amends, only she's busy in Albuquerque torturing Carlos. He does find Cassidy, however, and the two have a beautiful if somewhat silly heart to heart about the nature of their friendship and let bygones be bygones. Jesse agrees to help dispose of the mayor's body while also showing that he stole the angel's phone so that he can call God and make him come provide his flock some answers. The only problem is, the phone works only when touched by angel hands. To that end, Cassidy can help.
The two bury the mayor and the bodies of all the dead animals in the spot where Cassidy buried the bodies of the Fiore and DeBlanc back at their first confrontation. The shot of them burying the body reveals a tree that looks remarkably like the tree where the town of Ratwater hung dead Indians as a warning, which brings us back to the Cowboy.
We're given a truncated loop of the entirety of the Cowboy's story so far; again and again we watch his journey repeat, from the beginning with his wife and kids, to the Cowboy drinking while the storm rolls in. Over and over, until it stops. A door opens. Fiore and DeBlanc walk in. The Cowboy is in Hell, and his Hell is to relive his final days, and the death of his wife and daughter, over and over again. The angels offer an out—kill a preacher, and he'll be free of Hell.
It was a lot to happen in a single episode, but there's a lot to wrap up as we move into the finale. As a penultimate episode, it does serve to whet the appetite for what to come, promising big things (like an appearance from God himself) without trying to overshadow whatever big things they've got planned as they close out their first year. Hopefully, things move a bit quicker next season and we get right to the nitty gritty of what this story has to offer. For now, it was a perfectly fine, if somewhat uninteresting, episode that is little more than a stage setter. Well, the stage is now set, and hopefully that means big things for next week and Preacher's future.

The post Alabama Shakes, Middle Brother, Phil Cook And More Close Newport Folk Festival 2016 On High Note (REVIEW/PHOTOS) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
Once again, love was the name of the game – love your neighbor, love yourself, love your fellow festies. Nearly every artist expressed an overwhelming feeling of gratitude to be playing at Newport, and so many of them commented on the complicated state of our world. And though the election year may have inspired a lot of these sentiments, here's hoping that the theme will carry into future Folk Fests.
The collaborative nature of Sunday's performances brought unexpected artists together, as Dawes, Glen Hansard and Preservation Hall Jazz Band joined Elvis Costello, and The Suffers' Kam Franklin made appearances on multiple stages.
And as the sun began to go down on the fort while the final band played, you could make out a sign floating high above the revelers. Plucked from the ground, it read "Keep Left", intended to remind walkers where to traverse within the sometimes-chaotic stage area. But on this weekend, it served as a cheeky political reminder, and was the perfect image to have etched in your memory as you danced your last steps on the fort's dusty ground until next year.
Here are the highlights:
Kam Franklin
Though not an official performer at this year's festival, The Suffers' frontwoman seemed to be popping up all over the place as a guest on this day. The band played Deer Tick's famous after parties, but Kam also brought her signature charisma and show-stopping vocals to acts like River Whyless and Middle Brother. She sang Billy Brag and Wilco's Woody Guthrie tune "Airline to Heaven" with River Whyless, and joined the Middle Brother reunion on "Theatre" and "Someday".
Joan Shelley
The Louisville, Kentucky folk singer brought serious Joni Mitchell vibes to the Harbor stage and was the perfect anecdote to the strong, blazing sun outside the tent. Her quiet melodies sent a hush over the audience and made you want to sit still and listen.
Son Little
Maybe the sexiest performance of the entire weekend, Son Little and his band brought fiery blues-rock to the small Harbor stage. The tent was overflowing more for his set than for any other performance in that tent, as the magnetic singer gave a soulful, sultry show with songs like "Toes", "Joy" and "All Wet".
Julien Baker
Tiny Julien Baker is a force of nature, and she proved it on the Quad Stage with nothing but her voice and her guitar. Her powerful lyrics and larger than life voice floated through the tent along with one of the day's only cool breezes, and it became impossible to look away. Singing songs off her new record Sprained Ankle, Baker was joined by her longtime friend Matthew Gillam, who provided spare percussion that gave her already heart-wrenching songs a kind of heartbeat.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Contrary to what many festival-goers thought, you don't sit down during PHJB's sets – you dance your ass off! Opening the show with the sing-a-long "Shallow Waters", the stellar band hardly came up for air.
Middle Brother
One of the most popular sets of the weekend brought every single young person at the fort to the tight crowd in front of the Fort stage when the sun was at its peak. But no one cared about baking in the heat as long as Matthew Logan Vasquez (Delta Spirit), John McCauley (Deer Tick) and Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) were on stage belting out their entire self-titled record from 2011. Middle Brother hasn't played the stage as a band since (save for a smaller scale throwback in 2012), and it felt like nothing had changed. Except this time, every single audience member knew every single word to every single song, making the set more of a sing-a-long party. Everyone had fun, Vasquez and McCauley shared a kiss, and we all left happy and with full hearts. And of course, Johnny Fritz made a goofy, much-loved appearance.
Phil Cook Presents "Southland Revue"
Phil Cook has an infectious spirit, with an aura of love and positivity seemingly floating around him at all times. He's no moody artist – he's a great person with big talent and an even bigger heart. In fact, he spoke about his own important history with the historic Newport Folk Festival – his son took his first steps just outside the Quad stage years before. Joined on stage by longtime cohorts The Guitarheels (his band), The Blind Boys of Alabama and Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso), Cook sang tunes off his new record Southland Mission. And his mission is clear – to bring more peace to the world and specifically, to the south. He donated proceeds from his poster sales to an LGBTQ group, and spoke out against injustices within his own state. Cook was the perfect addition to the Newport Folk Fest lineup, and we can only hope he'll be back again soon to make more history.
Alabama Shakes
The Alabama Shakes showed no mercy, giving Newport an electrifying set of songs (many off last year's phenomenal Sound and Color). Brittany Howard is unlike any other singer, and her talent is unmatched. The fort was captivated by her fearless, uninhibited performance of "Over My Head", "Gimme All Your Love" and "You Ain't Alone". And as if the day couldn't get any better, she closed things out by inviting Dawes to join her for a cover of Bob Seger's summertime anthem "Night Moves".

The post Guitarist Jared James Nichols Reignites The Blues In All The Purest & Rockin' Ways (INTERVIEW) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
Old Glory, however, became the beacon. "I wanted to cover a lot of ground. I wanted to express all the different ways and all the different sounds I love in music," Nichols continued. Pure Grain Audio called it "authentic, gritty, soulful blues," while Blues Rock Review hailed Nichols as "a true testament to the blues of old." He stayed on the road, building up his fanbase one gig at a time, and before long word-of-mouth had spread.
Starting out young, Nichols found old country music via his parents but knew he had to "find the stuff that really got me excited about playing. I drew that from the electric blues guys of the sixties and seventies, Freddie King, Albert King, all the way back to the old acoustic blues;" which included Son House and Robert Johnson. "I used to go to blues jams all the time and I got to hang out with some of the last real, old guys;" one of them being a Mississippi bluesman named Big Jim Johnson. "He came from that school of that old Resonator delta blues and it was amazing to listen to him play. I would just go to his house and listen all day and he would play songs for me." It was from Johnson that the gateway was opened. "Once I heard Robert Johnson, Bukka White, all the Reverend Gary Davis, it just opened up a whole new world to me of soulful music that was just pure, unfiltered, honest music. And Son House, when I listen to Son House, it's like when I listen to Robert Johnson and all these guys: It's just pure emotion coming through the music."
Nichols, having played with the likes of blues greats old and new, southern rockers a la ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and rock gods like on his current tour supporting Zakk Wylde, his palette has certainly expanded into his playing. At his recent shows, his sets have won over the Zakk Wylde devoted, even though his playing borders more on the blues rock which Wylde is not necessarily known for. But good solid rocking music is still good solid rocking music.
A few months ago, Nichols and his band – Dennis Holm on drums and Erik Sandin on bass – released a video for the song "Don't You Try." Could this mean more new music is right around the corner for this rising star? Before the New Orleans show two weeks ago, Nichols brought us up-to-date on what has been happening since the release of Old Glory and if new music was indeed ready to come out.
It was in 2013 that we last talked. What have you been doing since then?
You know what, I feel like everything has happened since I talked to you. We went on the road in America, we got to meet some of our heroes. We played a bunch of shows with like the Doobie Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd. And then honestly, in 2014, we decided to go to Europe for the first time and so far we've done four tours over there. We've been over there with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Glenn Hughes, and just recently we were there with Zakk and supported Zakk for a month. We were all over the place. We did like sixteen countries in thirty days so it was insane.
Do you feel like you're making progress?
You know what, I feel great. I was a little nervous but the reception in Europe was so overwhelming to me and the fact that so many people are superfans of the music and were showing up to the shows and they knew the lyrics, they knew everything, I was like, man, this is amazing. And then I was a little nervous. You know, in the back of my head I always obviously wanted to play in the States, wanted to play at home, but I was nervous because I thought to myself, man, I don't know if it's going to like set fire there as well. I didn't know.
But the thing is, now that we're on this tour with Zakk, this is our fifth show, it's been overwhelming, it's amazing. And I know it's down south and I love down south cause they get it, the blues, and they love all the rock. But it's literally been insane. I had no idea. But it's funny because back when we were talking, everything was so fresh. And now, it's pretty exciting because now we have a break in the States and more tours planned and everything is rolling now. We brought like 300 CDs with us, right. We're out. We've got to get more.
I hear you have some other special merchandise you're selling at your shows
Yeah, what we did was when we got back from Europe we brought a ton of our merch with us that you couldn't get here. We have like two hundred imported vinyls in all different colors – red, white and blue, orange – and once they're gone, they're gone. We're selling them at the shows and it's been a hit so far and we're actually running out. So that's great.
What happens after the tour with Zakk?
We'll be with Zakk until September and then we're going to head back over to England with Walter Trout. I think we're doing three and a half weeks with Walter and then we're going to go out with the band Scorpion Child. They're kind of like Sabbath-y rock. We just got confirmed so we're going to be over there for like a month after Zakk. Otherwise, we got festivals lined up and like I said, it's really good things and the ball is starting to roll. The train is moving.
You released a video for your song "Don't You Try." Does that mean new music is around the corner?
I hope so (laughs).
Do you have anything else recorded?
Absolutely. I mean, honestly, I have twenty plus demos already. Basically when I wrote the tunes on Old Glory, I haven't stopped and the thing is writing music is like writing anything – you keep going and going. So for me, yeah, I have a ton of music.
When do you think it will be available?
The thing is, I never want to go out without anything so I might want to get into the studio right after this tour and do something. I don't know if we have time to do a complete full length but everything is good and we're going to record, we're going to do something very soon.
Is that new song indicative of what you have or want to put on the CD?
It's going in the direction. I would say it's like a snack-size teaser. It's okay but it's not the full enchilada yet. Honestly, we released that song because it felt like it was cool to just kind of put something out there. But there is so much more that I am ready to lay out and the next record I want to set the bar of exactly who I am as an artist and where I want to go.
Being that you are on tour so much now, how do you write, where do you find your quiet spots?
You know what, it's always on my mind but for me, I've never been a guy that's like sat down. It always just comes. Like seriously, I was in the shower like three days ago and I wrote a song. I started humming and I had a melody and I wrote it down – I always have my phone with the voice memo and I always sing melodies into it and all that stuff. So it's never like I can sit down and say, "I'm going to write a song right now." It all has to be by chance, totally has to be by chance. I'll bring a little riff to my guys and we'll just build it, jam it out; I guess like the old guys did, you know. Just jam it out and figure out what feels good and what's natural. I feel like whenever I sit down and try and write something, it comes out like you TRIED to sit down and write a song and it's not as natural.
You told me the last time we talked that one of the things you wanted to work on and get better at was your songwriting. Did you mean lyrics or more melodies?
Everything. Not only the lyrics and the melody but the overall sound because I feel like that's one of the things that has been huge for me is trying to develop my sound, my sonic brand. Like, what is it? What am I going to do? I feel like after countless tours now, I'm working it and it starts to naturally evolve into exactly where I want. Like you'll hear tonight, you'll be able to see from just listening to Old Glory and what we play tonight, the difference.
What have you learned from touring with Zakk?
Oh man, that you got to be tough (laughs). No, I already knew that. But honestly, Zakk and his crew are such nice guys. They work hard and no one complains, you know what I mean. I've been able to hang out with Zakk a bunch and just get to know him and he's a good dude. If anything, I've been inspired to the max, to the point where now when I pick up my guitar, I just want to play all the time cause he has that personality and he's inspiring, especially as a young guitar player, to hang with him. When I was a kid, he was on my wall. I had his poster duct taped on the wall so now to be here supporting him it's amazing. It still gives me goosebumps to even think about it.
What about Tyler Bryant? You've known him and his band a long time so what's it like being out with them as well?
It's funny because I didn't think that we would actually get to be on the road together this early. I thought that, cause they are doing a lot of awesome, amazing stuff like Guns N Roses and AC/DC, I figured they were going to be all over that. But it's cool cause I didn't think we would be on the road this soon. But me and Tyler are always saying, "We got to keep doing it, we got to keep bringing it, we got to do this." And it's like the reality of the vision is coming true. I love their band, they love us and it's amazing cause we're all at that same point together; we're all about the same age, we're putting in the work, we're doing interviews, and now we're on the road together. It's pretty amazing and I'm happy.
Tell me about the guitar that you predominately use
The one that I am using now, I am actually not going to use tonight cause I broke it the other night. It's not completely broke, I just snapped a knob off it so I've got to find a guitar shop. But it's a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It has just one pickup on it. It's a custom ordered one, a one-off from Gibson, and basically I still have my old Old Glory Les Paul but this is like the new and, I don't want to say improved, but the new road warrior one. To me, it kind of captures everything I love about a guitar. It has all of the right features and whenever I pick it up, it's inspiring. It's a one of a kind, for sure. They don't make them and sell them at the store. You would have to call Gibson and the funny thing is, Rickey Medlocke from Lynyrd Skynyrd, he just got one made to the exact specs of mine. I saw a picture and I was like, Oh my God, that's my guitar!
Are you still not using a pick?
No picks. But you know what, in the studio if I have to do a part or something, not on my stuff, but in the studio I'll definitely pick one up. For me, it just feels better, feels so much more natural not using a pick.
The blues has always been the main thing for you but do you now find yourself gravitating to a wider spectrum of music to get inspiration from?
Absolutely and the best part is, to me, the blues is the bread and butter. That's the main ingredient. But now I'm opening up more, especially to rock & roll. It was like, that was my door and now we can do stuff that reaches more of an audience than just a traditional blues artist. Even with Zakk, he does the acoustic stuff, he does the metal stuff, but it all comes from the same place and it's to the point where the blues was my opening and now I can move into rock more easily.

The post Jimmy "Duck" Holmes Offers "Bentonia Blues" Time Capsule on 'It Is What It Is' appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
The inaugural release on the brand new label, Blue Front Records, is a keeper by many a bastion. Forever immortalizing the famous Bentonia, Mississippi juke joint started by Jimmy "Duck" Holmes' parents in 1948 and polarizing the blues greats who have performed and still do at the world's oldest standing juke joint; It Is What It Is is a 'Bentonia Blues' time capsule in its rarest form. From Duck's fortuitous finger style picking and leaning on both his trusty acoustic guitar and conversely plugging in and turning up the amp to divulge succulent licks and trance-like chordal pickings, this offering runs the foundations of the blues like a swamp rat at a winterized chicken shack.
I've said it before and will again, it's a blessing to hear high quality blues records in 2016, with half the year over we've been blessed with punk blues gems, and legendary life-long bluesmen records alike, but Holmes' record seems to be carrying another torch. One less travelled, less looked for even. I keep my ear to the concrete for new to me artists and always dream of one day stumbling upon the last octogenarian Mississippi blues hound, still picking away un-wavered by modern technology and self-indulgence, caring more for the melodies or lack thereof shooting rampant from the belly button of a Sears mail order guitar than wanting for wifi or some corny pay channel show that's all the rage. It's a hankering for this way of life and song that brings the blues nuts out of the wood work. The purists and the virgin ears each treated to the ultimate form of American music, a style of music mostly penned by folks taken to America against their wills for that matter.
Jimmy "Duck" Holmes is cut from this cloth. Leaving his own stain on a style of blues music brought to the world by Henry Stuckey and a penchant for the tuning and tribal incisors he learned from Bahamian and Trinidadian British soldiers while serving in the first, World War. He brought this tuning and craft back and personally taught it to the great Skip James and the impeccable Jack Owens. After taking over the family business in the form of the Blue Front Café from his parents in 1970, a kinship was built between Holmes, Owens, Jack Spires, and Tommy West. The café being a place to bounce songs and licks off one another and ultimately becoming the living preservation of Bentonia blues it is today.
Duck's record is marinated in spirited minor open tunings and his ghost-like delivery is addictive if not obsession worthy. Setting things off with a nod to "Buddy Brown", the amp is up and the distorted cacophony of tone and vocals stops the listener in their tracks. Not treading on uncharted waters the record rises and falls, each song falling between the 4 and 6 minute mark with ample time to take it all in and process what you're mentally digesting – 9 songs and 47 minutes of humid, hard hitting blues, harrowing harp work, and an unearthly cool possessed by Duck. The greatest point of the record is the ending build-up to the 8th track "Slow Down", a warning song of sorts from the protagonist that ultimately culminates with the howling of a passing train whistle at just the perfect time, if it wasn't planned by those involved it was surely planned by God above. It's just too perfect — It Is What It Is, available now on Blue Front Records.

The post Tedeschi Trucks Band, Los Lobos, North Mississippi All-Stars Evoke Spirit of '69 at Bethel Woods (SHOW REVIEW) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
Under the late afternoon sun of a warm Catskill summer day, the three-piece North Mississippi All-Stars brought their country blues sound to what both hippies and rock and roll faithful come to know as the Garden. There were both funky foot stompers and Deep South spirituals. Homage was paid to the great bluesmen of yesterday, with covers by Charlie Patton, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Son House. The first collaboration of the night would occur during their set, when the Tedeschi Trucks Band background vocalists joined the band to add gospel harmonies on two songs rich in railroad imagery "Move Along Train" and "Back Back Train."
Even in the absence of singer and guitarist Cesar Rosas, Los Lobos delivered a strong career-spanning set that showcased their eclectic Latin-tinged sound. The band from East LA would voyage into rockabilly territory with "Evangeline" and the Deadheads in attendance were excited by a spirited take of "Bertha." The haunting creep of "Kiko and the Lavendar Moon" provided a perfect soundtrack to the setting sun.
The on-stage collaborations really ramped up with Los Lobos' set. Luther Dickinson of the North Missisippi All-Stars sat in on Little Walter's "Lose My Mind" and the Los Lobos original "Gates of Gold," while Susan Tedeschi and the TTB background singers joined the group to contribute stirring vocals to a cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." The TTB horn section added a grand wall of sound while Derek Trucks fire tossed solos with David Hidalgo on the blazing "Mas y Mas" set closer.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band opened their set with a question, getting things off to a start with Sly & The Family Stone's "Are You Ready?" One could only imagine if attendees were ready for this special set that was just getting underway.
Like the previous two sets, stellar musicianship would take center stage. Susan Tedeschi's incredibly emotive voice (bearing striking resemblance to Bonnie Raitt's) was enough of a reason to name this traveling event the Wheels of Soul tour. Derek Trucks could blow minds with that would make his heroes Duane Allman and Eric Clapton proud. But while the band may be named after its husband-and-wife leadership, it's still a band, and a mighty fine one at that.
This was a group that had a historical understanding of the music they play, self-evident in their tasteful covers that they played but also in original material like "Made Up Mind," "Don't Know What It Means" and "The Storm." Drawing from influences ranging from John Coltrane to Stax recordings to Led Zeppelin, the band somehow found a way to bring all of these diverse elements together and create a vibrant sound, rich in harmony and texture.
The collaborations that picked up during Los Lobos' slot didn't let up for the Tedeschi Trucks Band set. Los Lobos guitarist David Hidalgo returned the favor of supplying additional solo when he sat in on heady covers of Traffic's "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring" and Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying." A little bit later on in the set, Derek left the stage and Luther stepped in to contribute stunning guitar work to a version of "Angel From Montgomery" that segued into a snippet of the Grateful Dead's "Sugaree" before returning to the John Prine classic.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band (along with Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars on washboard) wrapped up their headlining set with a captivating cover of Santana's "Soul Sacrifice," paying homage to shred master Carlos Santana on his 69th birthday and at the same time, serving as a glorious tribute to one of the finest moments of the legendary 1969 festival that happened up the road.
With Luther in tow, the night's entertainment came to a close with a two-song encore, pairing an interpretation of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" with a take on the Beatles' "With A Little Help From My Friends." The former cover may or may not have been a nod to the town of Woodstock, where Dylan recorded the song in the basement with the Band nearly half a century ago, and was also the town that inspired the massive Aquarian gathering. The latter cover almost certainly was a nod to the festival itself, as their take resembled the Joe Cocker version played at the three-day event, rather than the Beatles "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Band" album cut.

The post Miles Ahead & Audio Companion Pieces Reaffirm Jazz Icon's Influence (DVD REVIEW) appeared first on Glide Magazine.]]>
The original motion picture soundtrack functions on more levels that such titles usually do. That's because there is music playing virtually throughout this film centered on The Man with The Horn's mysterious five-year hiatus during the Seventies. The two dozen tracks on the album contain snippets of dialogue from the movie itself, but, much more importantly, an array of selections from Miles' extensive discography including his groundbreaking work on Prestige Records (from whence comes the film's title), his collaborations with Gil Evens on Seven Steps to Heaven and the various bands he led during the creation of his electric music circa Bitches Brews and beyond.
Cheadle's supervision thus creates an audio counterpart to the film: just as the movie touches upon significant points of reference in Mile's life (admiration for boxer Jack Johnson, his arrest outside the New York club Birdland where he was playing with his band), this disc can function as a launchpad for anyone who wants to delve further into the art (and life) of this great musician. In a variety of ways, Miles Ahead references almost every step in Davis' extended series of groundbreaking work going back to 1949′s The Birth of the Cool as well as his post hiatus creations, including, most crucially, one of his later releases on the Columbia label, On the Corner. While the album provoked more than a little ire upon its release in 1972, its combination of electronics and rhythm fashioned a foundation for the forms and functions of today's R & B and hip-hop.
In its own way, then, Robert Glasper's reinvention of those styles stands as the basis for Everything's Beautiful. Just a cursory listen reminds not only how Davis' own influence continues decades after some of the recordings referenced here, but also posits the implicit theory that, were he alive today and at a similar stage in life as depicted in Miles Ahead, Davis might well be making music like that which is contained on this collection of originals and tunes built upon the trumpeter's own numbers.
By enlisting the participation of such venerable notables as Stevie Wonder ("Right On Brotha") and guitarist John Scofield (who was a member of Miles' band for a time in the Eighties), plus members of the younger, forward-thinking generation of which he is a member, such as Eryka Badu ("Maiysha (So Long)") and Ledisi ("I'm Leaving You"), Glasper spearheaded a project that stands on its own, even as it remains of a piece with its roots as well as its cinematic source. The eye-catching colorful cover graphics that adorn Everything's Beautiful are a metaphor for that stylistic integration, just as vividly as photos of Don Cheadle with the graphics of the soundtrack suggest the uncanny means by which he captured the magnetic, iconoclastic personality of Miles Davis.

"It is important to remember that amateurs built the ark and it was the professionals that built the Titanic."
-- Ben Carson
The above quotation is my favorite snapshot from the presidential campaign so far, and Ben Carson is involved in many of my other favorite moments, from continuing to insist that the Egyptians built the pyramids to store grain to the controversy over whether young Ben Carson actually attempted to stab a friend in a stomach.
Due to his lack of training in Egyptology and -- more important -- politics, Dr. Carson has a vested interest in elevating amateurs at the expense of professionals (including, presumably, medical professionals like himself -- for the record, it's not clear if Carson takes the same position on neurosurgery). Nevertheless, the apparent appeal of such populist positions this election cycle demonstrates that Carson is giving voice to the frustrations of millions of American who are credulous enough to take phone calls from pollsters.
Some have asked whether we're seeing a similar trend in higher education. Are professionals at colleges and universities taking a backseat while Americans learn from Gentle Ben and other amateurs?
Back in April, LinkedIn spent $1.5 billion to acquire Lynda.com, a library of more than 5,000 online courses and 250,000 video tutorials on business, technology and creative skills. Udemy is home to over 30,000 amateur courses in 80 languages, including Jimmy Naraine's top-selling course Double Your Confidence and Self-Esteem, and reported annual revenue growth of 160 percent in 2014 and 200 percent in 2015. (I have a feeling that Ben Carson and Jimmy Naraine share a similar demographic appeal.)
In IT, there's Pluralsight, offering 3,700 IT courses, where revenue is doubling annually and a planned IPO should value the company over $1 billion. Finally, there's Udacity, which provides IT courses and "nanodegrees" and recently announced both 1,000 nanodegree graduates as well as a financing that valued the company over $1 billion. These fast-growing companies are convincing millions of Americans that their educational products and programs are a good investment without regard to the involvement of faculty members or colleges and universities.
All this begs the question: Have we reached amateur hour in higher education?
The answer depends very much on how we define expertise. College and university professors are undoubtedly the leading experts in their domains of knowledge, particularly as it pertains to published books and research. Some (but far from all) are also leading experts on effective instruction and assessment.
But few college and university faculty members (or programs or departments or schools) can credibly claim expertise as to the competencies employers are seeking in new hires, particularly for easier-to-assess technical and hard skills. In this area, companies like Udacity -- which builds its nanodegrees with employers like Google -- can stake a firmer claim to "expertise."
In fact, virtually any "amateur" provider that is successful in engaging employers in program development and delivery can credibly stake a greater claim to this expertise than even (or especially) our oldest and most prestigious institutions. This leaves colleges and universities in the uncomfortable position of "amateurs" -- stewing over comments from the likes of Google's senior VP of people operations (grades in degree programs are "worthless as a criteria for hiring") and partnering with employer-facing prehire training intermediaries like Galvanize or ProSky in order to remain relevant to students.
This is not to say that skyrocketing interest in Udacity and its brethren demonstrates an elevation of amateurs at the expense of experts. Rather, it is indicative of a shift in the type of expertise most valued in the postsecondary education market. While faculty expertise on subject matter and instruction is often profound, the value for students is increasingly viewed as abstract or frivolous. In contrast, expertise on the competencies in demand by employers is increasingly viewed as purposeful, dynamic and attractive -- both in terms of clarity of interface, as well as providing a full-stack offering.
"We needed more skill in the workforce. We turned to colleges and said, 'You have a new mission.' Higher education really is a workforce-development system. It doesn't like to see itself that way."
-- Anthony Carnevale, director, Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce
Colleges and universities have resisted their role in workforce development primarily due to the historic association of workforce development with "skill" development, and the association of "skills" with matters "vocational." Our isomorphic view of what it means to be an excellent institution of higher education doesn't come close to comprising vocational skill development.
But you won't be surprised to learn that the market is moving faster than colleges and universities. Providers like Udacity, Galvanize and ProSky are delivering the type of expertise most valued by students. They are doing this not only by connecting with employers, but also by wrapping themselves in the mantle of workforce development and recognizing that "skills" also comprise higher-level executive function capabilities such as critical thinking and problem solving.
Colleges and universities that dismiss these providers as limited to vocational skills -- the purported amateurs" of the sector -- may have Jimmy Naraine's confidence, but it's a false confidence. Institutions that wish to float like an ark rather than sink like the Titanic on the choppy seas ahead should learn from Ben Carson and take a stab at connecting with employers.

Inside Higher Ed's monthly tech podcast features an interview with Paul Freedman, the learning platform company's new CEO.
It's taken decades, but educational technology is finally beginning to change the way we think about education itself -- not just the way we deliver it.
Twenty-four years ago, I taught my first writing course in a classroom kitted out with 25 computers. A few years later, I team taught my first online and hybrid courses via threaded discussion boards and asynchronous email-based class discussions, respectively. Of course by that time, the pioneers in the field had already been at the online learning game for years.
In those days, online learning was about experimentation -- seeing what the new technology could do. Soon, though, online learning became a means to an end, in the form of rapid market expansion and tuition growth, aided by 100 percent year-over-year growth rates in the mid-1990s and driven by the early entrants in the market -- for-profit universities and continuing and professional education divisions at nonprofit universities.
A couple decades on now, we see millions of students pursuing degrees wholly online and millions more taking the odd online course for credit, while still millions more are signing up for non-credit-bearing MOOCs. That goes some way to underscoring the fact that online learning is an established and maturing field. But it's also flattening out. Today the growth has slowed, almost to a standstill, and thus the high-octane revenue growth phase may be behind us.
This may explain, in part, why the field is starting to be talked about in new ways, particularly as new sorts of institutions get involved, as the motivations for deploying an ever-growing number of learning technologies gradually begin to shift, as learning scientists leverage the growing quantities of data captured by these technologies and as the organizational structures online learning operates under begin to take new shape.
If the era of online learning over the past two decades was in large measure about revenue growth, the present moment is about something else.
Evidence of this change can been seen in a subtle shift in how we talk about this work. Where once we spoke consistently about "online learning," now, more and more often, I hear higher education leaders talking about "digital strategy" -- a shift in terminology that signals, I believe, a significant change in how we are thinking about the utility of learning technologies.
The phrase "online learning," for example, might be said to be associated with other terms, like growth, tuition streams, content development and professional master's degrees. By contrast, the phrase "digital strategy" is associated with a more diverse and inclusive set of terms, like pedagogy, market relevance, undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as online and residential learning experiences. If online learning was, more often than not, about money, then digital strategy is about how we think about, define and structure learning.
As Claudia Urrea, a lecturer at MIT's recently established Office of Digital Learning, put it to me, "It's no longer just about putting content online but an opportunity to rethink learning."
Kevin Bell, who serves as executive director for online curriculum development and deployment at Northeastern University, put it somewhat more forcefully: "There needs to be a digital strategy for face-to-face courses, as well."
Interestingly, both MIT and Northeastern have been busily realigning their organizational structures in the digital realm to assist them in yielding a broader kind of payoff. The Office of Digital Learning at MIT, headed up by Dean Sanjay Sarma, is a relatively new organization into which established initiatives now report -- such as OpenCourseWare, founded more than 15 years ago, and MITx, launched in 2012 and the precursor to MIT's collaboration with Harvard, called edX.
Last fall, Northeastern brought on Chris Mallet from Western Governors University to serve in a new role as vice president of online programs, and while the job title underscores the familiar and still persistent use of "online" as a term of art, the new role was conceived as a way of integrating and expanding a diverse set of teaching and technology-related initiatives. Other institutions are similarly reorganizing, adding new layers of management and governance to oversee and harmonize their increasingly diverse digital holdings.
In 2014, James DeVaney joined the University of Michigan as its associate vice provost for digital education and innovation, with the explicit aim, he told me, of making his office's services "obsolete -- in a good way -- so that academic units are thinking about the innovative use of technology in all their learning environments." Within a few years, DeVaney added, "I would like to see the word 'digital' removed from our unit name."
One way to account for this shift in thinking is the growing awareness of the potential for educational technologies to enhance teaching and learning broadly and to strengthen the value that colleges and universities are delivering at their very core.
"I see the shift not as one from online to digital," said Eddie Maloney, the executive director of the center for new designs in learning and scholarship at Georgetown University, "but as a shift from a content-driven or faculty-driven curriculum to an intentional design and assessed curriculum. It's really about a growing focus on learning design."
Indeed, where the online era was characterized by efforts to make technology-enabled courses just as good a classroom courses, digital strategy and learning design are about making education better -- regardless of the medium.
Of course, this isn't to say that there aren't still institutions out there looking to grow revenue by delivering programs online. And even institutions like Harvard are seeking to generate income from initiatives like HBX, an initiative at Harvard Business School, with its online courses in business fundamentals targeting alumni, corporate and other audiences. Likewise, of course, there are certainly countervailing examples to the structural integration underway at places like MIT, Northeastern and Michigan. Southern New Hampshire University and Champlain College, to name just two examples, have intentionally set out to create organizational separation between their on-campus and online learning activities, and with strong enrollment growth to show for their efforts.
For others, though, the ambitions are different. According to Josh Kim, director of digital learning initiatives at Dartmouth College, and author of Inside Higher Ed's "Technology and Learning" blog, "Places that really want to protect their brand -- like Brown, Yale, Georgetown, Dartmouth -- are experimenting with low-residency online programs in professional schools and they are having real success, which is driving some rethinking about what we need to be doing to improve our core product. At Dartmouth, it's a quality play. We want to bring new techniques into residential teaching but also create sustainable programs."
To the extent that this shift in emphasis from online learning to digital strategy can produce sustainable programs of enhanced quality, we can undoubtedly expect to see more institutions pursuing the path of learning design informed by digital experimentation.
While it may yet be too early to say for sure whether this shift will be long lasting, if it is, we should expect to see evidence of it in some very prominent places. As DeVaney put it, "I think we'll know if this shift is real when we see more institutions differentiating around this. Hopefully we'll see mission statements that look different, too."
Kathleen Ives, chief executive officer of the Online Learning Consortium, agrees, noting, "Digital is becoming mainstream. But for an institution to succeed it has to be part of their vision and mission and has to permeate across their organization."
Bell at Northeastern argues that truly effective digital strategy will have to go a step farther even than connecting diverse institutional activities. "Digital leadership should not just be about harmonizing initiatives," he said. "It should also be about harmonizing our messaging and conveying our unique philosophy to the communities we serve -- and at Northeastern, the emphasis is on online experiential learning."
In other words, the shift to digital strategy will only be significant if it enables institutions to not only think and teach differently, but also to talk more effectively about who they are and what makes them different at the very core.

Okay, I've decided to use the twitter gem. The problem is I havent a clue how to go about using it because im new to ruby/rails. All I require is to display a list of the last 5 tweets from my own twitter account, with the times they were posted. I honestly do not know where to begin.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
There's not a lot out there in the way of tutorials.
The best solution I found (and the one I eventually used) was this javascript solution that bypasses Oauth:
I also tried this tutorial's method with the Twitter gem, and got the Oauth working, but the actual tweet display was bad and not easily fixed:
Finally, you can just make a widget on Twitter using their wizard and embed it in your page with a small piece of code they give you to copy. Here's the link to do it that way.

In addition to being algorithm and hardware agnostic, the system enables plug-and-play and can be deployed globally as an end-to-end or modular solution in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks. GoCloudID includes a software development kit for rapid integration into existing company programs and applications. Operating with a pay-as-you-go model, GoCloudID makes it cost effective to incorporate biometric identity verification into new and existing enterprise and service provider applications.
The new offering also addresses security on mobile devices through IWS's GoMobile Interactive (GMI), a biometric-enabled mobile platform that provides reliable, simple and fast multifactor identity management. GMI delivers app-level identity verification, fraud and theft prevention of mobile transactions and active monitoring for unauthorized access/use.
"With more and more mobile devices being designed with biometric features and worldwide mobile device payments expected to reach $400 billion by 2015, it is critical we work with leading technology companies like Fujitsu, to effectively and holistically address legacy identity and access management security challenges facing businesses and consumers in a big-data, smart mobile world," said Jim Miller, CEO of ImageWare Systems (IWSY). "We have a track record for more than a decade working in a variety of large and demanding environments. In Fujitsu, we have a partner who delivers world-class cloud services for public, on-premise and private infrastructure platforms.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course).

And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Americans would rather see the Super Bowl on a new high-definition TV than watch it in the stadium where the game is actually played, according to a new national survey for consumer electronics retailer Circuit City Stores.
Sixty percent of the 4500 men and women who responded to the store's survey said football is the sporting event they most enjoy watching on TV. Football is the top choice for 72 percent of men and 48 percent of women. When asked how they'd prefer watching the Super Bowl if they had a choice, 48 percent said they would rather view the game on a new HDTV. That compares to 26 percent who said they would prefer to attend the game. Other survey findings include:
The "Big Game Survey" was commissioned by Circuit City Stores and conducted by independent research firm Decision Analyst of Arlington, TX. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus two percentage points.

Kristin Armstrong could win her third straight Olympic gold medal in Rio. The women's pursuit team is favored to capture gold. Several Americans could land on the BMX podium. Will anybody in the U.S. notice? Or even care? That is perhaps the biggest challenge facing USA Cycling as the Rio Games arrive. One of the nation's most popular participatory sports is dealing with aging athletes, declining membership and a vast disconnect between amateur riders and their elite counterparts. It has left USA Cycling officials to wonder just where they stand in the sport's structure. "There is no doubt we need to adapt as an organization," agreed Derek Bouchard-Hall, who took over as the governing body's

Following the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision on Sunday not to issue a blanket ban on Russian athletes despite evidence of systematic doping across the majority of Olympic sports, global sporting federations have been left to decide which Russians can compete at next month's Rio Games. The IOC said any Russian athletes with a previous doping suspension will be ineligible to compete at the Olympics. AQUATICS (SWIMMING, DIVING, SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING AND WATERPOLO) - Yulia Efimova, Mikhail Dovgalyuk, Natalia Lovtcova, Anastasia Krapivina, Nikita Lobintsev, Vladimir Morozov and Daria Ustinova are seven Russian swimmers banned by the governing body FINA from competing at Rio.
