Man arrested in chase that crossed state lines
PARKERSBURG – A police chase that went back and forth from Ohio to West Virginia ended Saturday in front of the DuPont Washington Works plant.
The incident started in Washington County at a home on Ohio 26 when Douglas Lynn Morrison, 50, of Washington, W.Va., had agreed to pick up some of his belongings from his ex-wife, Gina, according to Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Morrison allegedly showed up drunk and threatened his ex-wife. She fled to a neighbor's house and called 911, Mincks said.
"He was intoxicated and she feared for her life," the sheriff said.
Doug Morrison stole her F-150 pick-up truck and led deputies on a chase into Marietta where Marietta Police joined the chase. Morrison made it on the Interstate 77 bridge heading south into West Virginia where West Virginia authorities took over the chase which led briefly into Belpre, Ohio before returning to West Virginia.
The chase ended when Morrison ran over road spikes put down by deputies and wrecked his truck on the railroad tracks along West Virginia 892 near DuPont Washington Works. He was treated and released from Camden Clark Medical Center.
Wood County Chief Deputy Shawn Graham said Morrison was arraigned in Wood County Magistrate Court on charges of fleeing while driving under the influence and a warrant and was released on $5,500 bond.
Wood County Sheriff Ken Merritt was involved in aspects of the chase, trying to make sure the suspect did not flee down a side road. Merritt commended all of the officers involved from Washington County, Marietta and Belpre to the agencies in West Virginia, including the Wood County Sheriff's Department, the West Virginia State Police, the Vienna Police Department, and the Parkersburg Police Department, in conducting a professional operation, one of the best he has seen in all his years in law enforcement.
"There was great participation by everyone involved," Merritt said Sunday. "It was well coordinated to the point the spikes were put out and he was able to be apprehended."

Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber & Other Celebs Tweet Reactions To Chilean Miners' Rescue
In what will surely become one of the most memorable events in modern history, the 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped in a collapsed mine underground for 69 days began to be rescued early Wednesday morning, around 1 a.m. Chilean time.
Over 2000 journalists from around the world have gathered around the mine in the small town of Copiapo, 800 kilometers from the capital, Santiago, as well as Chilean president, Sebastian Pinera.
Movie producers and writers have also flocked to the scene, ready to do research and buy rights for future projects.
Here's what celebs have been tweeting about the historic rescue:
Justin Bieber: "Just found out the miners of Chile are being rescued!!! Happy for the families being brought back together. Miracles do happen."
Ryan Seacrest: "Sending prayers & well wishes to the miners & rescue teams in Chile. Hope to see everyone on the surface soon."
Kim Kardashian: "Wow seriously in tears watching this Chilean miners getting released on CNN! What a tough struggle they made it through!!!"
Steve Martin: "Rise in elevation has turned the miners in tenors. Holding auditions for Chilean Tenors world tour. O Danny Boy a definite favorite."
Diddy: "Theyre streaming live from the Chilean Mine Rescue--->http://www.ustream.tv/cbsnews"
Michael Ian Black: "Check out witstream.com for up-to-the-minute latest breaking Chilean miner jokes."
Mel B: "'Omg watching these guys get released is sooo amazing!! Chile miners rescue live!!!!!"
Amanda Holden: "Still glued to the Miners rescue! History in the making!"
So far, 16 miners have been rescued in the "Fenix" capsule, a NASA-designed pod barely big enough to hold a grown man. The miners are trapped 2,300 feet below the surface, and original estimates stated they wouldn't be saved until Christmas.

St. Patrick's Day
Chrissy and I don't normally celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We don't drink much, and we don't own much green. However, this year we have a boy. It was tempting to take him to the parade in Chicago, but he's too young right now for that. Maybe in a few years. For now, we settled on extensive photos.
Chrissy got Aiden a cute little St. Patrick's Day outfit, complete with floppy green hat. The shirt says "Happy Little Leprechaun". He had a hard time sitting on the guest bed mattress (it sags a bit), so we ended up setting him on a pizza box (it's under the sheet).

FML's feeling foxy
"Precious little diamond, I leave it all to you..." sang Fox The Fox back in 80s, when FML was in nappies, drooling over its parents' couch. This week, we've left it all up to Emma Lazauski to bring Foxes to life in her rather wonderful illustration of an FML, and we also managed to wrangle an interview out of her as well. So sit down, stand up, enjoy the article and the illustration, then Google the song mentioned at the beginning of this article, it's ace.
-What's your name and surname?
-Emma Lazauski
-How old are you?
-I am 26.
-Where do you live?
-Sarasota, Florida.
-What do you do for a living?
-I am a professional illustrator; I draw, paint and otherwise make images to illustrate different concepts and products. Most of my work has been used internally at different companies so I don't have any work in print yet, but I'd love to break into book illustration.
-What's your story?
-I grew up reading fairy tales and scrawling maps and monsters in Rhode Island, but I thought I'd like to try living somewhere new for college and decided to study illustration at Ringling School of Art and Design in Florida. After graduation in 2007 I got a job at a company as a product designer for home décor and holiday ornaments, where I became sick to death of Christmas. After I was downsized I worked as a floral designer for a little while and began freelancing in earnest. Lately I've been getting enough illustration work to drop the floral gig, which makes me very happy!
-What are your projects?
-Currently a lot of my time goes to my professional freelance work but I'm also working on my new portfolio website (InklingArt.com) and doing a lot of personal work in my sketchbook. I like to get a small watercolor notebook and fill it up with sketches and mini paintings and I've also been experimenting a little with comics lately. I would love to do book illustration. Stories are a huge part of the reason I started drawing when I was a kid and I'd like to think that some sense of narration comes across in most of my work, even when it's more of a tease. Perhaps especially then.
-Can you tell us about your blog/website?
-I'm between portfolio websites at the moment because I'm working on a new one, but I do keep a blog! OddSketch (oddsketch.blogspot.com) began as a place to post a project I was working on last summer. Basically I was making a sketch every day around my regular work, so having a blog to update every night was a nice way to mark the schedule and to show people what I was doing. After a while it transitioned into a regular art blog, but it's still my go-to place for posting project updates. Especially works-in-progress.
-What inspires you ?
-A lot of things inspire me and any list would be incomplete! For visual artists, Alan Lee, John Howe, Bill Watterson, Eyvind Earl, John Bauer and many others. I also get a lot of inspiration from listening to music; sounds seem to give me ideas and keep my brush and pen moving. Mostly rock, movie soundtracks and some classical/world folk. I am ridiculously addicted to scientific and historical documentaries.
-What makes you laugh the most?
-My friends, although I don't live near them at the moment so we mostly talk online. They are great friends! My cat is pretty funny, too. Even (or perhaps especially) when she makes me want to tear my hair out.
-Why did you choose this FML?
There are a lot of great FML stories out there, but not all of them make interesting drawings. This one immediately got my mind rolling in the direction of some images. Plus, foxes are really, really cute.
-Do you have your own FML anecdote that you can share us?
Last week I was working and my cat jumped up on the desk. I picked her up to keep her from knocking stuff over and she grabbed hold of a fresh mug of tea with her paws, dragging nearly boiling water right across the keyboard. This was the second keyboard she's destroyed in three months.

Many thanks for your comic Emma !
Emma's website http://oddsketch.blogspot.com/
If you want to be the next published artist, send an email to [email protected] including a link to your website/blog/DA. But DON'T send your illustration right away! You need first to get in touch with Alice who will tell you what you have to do!

Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028990823979199986.post-18090145160884333422015-04-20T04:20:00.000-04:002015-04-19T22:27:46.291-04:00SPREADING KENTUCKY'S FINEST JAMS : SUMMER 2015

This summer, Kentucky is taking over! Karmic Swamp is dropping new releases from four of our Commonwealth's finest bands that may just rewrite your summer soundtrack. Let's meet the contenders:

From the hills of eastern Kentucky, veteran one-madman-band GLOBSTERS come at us with their first full-length, comprising ten mutant visions of blazing noisecore rage, while QUAILBONES from the west bring us their syrupy debut LP of garage pop gems dredged from our Commonwealth's Mississippi River bottomlands.

Psychedelic doom outfit MOTHERPLANT crawl out of our state's southern cosmic wilderness to deliver four looming, riff-laden tracks on their debut effort, clocking in at just under 50 minutes, and the Bluegrass's newest roving band of freaks FATUFAIRFE release their first EP of genre-bending rock and roll that conflates grating noise and flowing psychedelia in ways you have to hear to believe.

Luckily Karmic Swamp's got you covered. You can stream tracks from all of our upcoming releases below. Look out for more announcements as these jams will be coming your way over the next few months, and help us spread the word - Kentucky is taking over!
 J.D. Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028990823979199986.post-37445347483165645282014-04-15T16:26:00.002-04:002014-04-15T16:26:31.649-04:00KS20 : THE ELSINORES - Dreams of Youth LP [AVAILABLE NOW!]

After a slew of tapes, 7"s & splits, these Lexington, Kentucky boys have finally hit their stride with the Dreams of Youth LP. Invoking comparisons as disparate as JOY DIVISION and the WIPERS, the ELSINORES have managed to draw from a wide spectrum of punk, post-punk and power-pop to deliver a wildly dark, introspective & dreamy slab of rock & roll on this, their first full-length album.

Tracklist:
1. Unlearn
2. Cult of Youth
3. Grains of Sand
4. Empty Room
5. Salvation
6. Day of the Dead
7. Live
8. Dreams of Youth
9. Nocturne

This record is available for $12.00 postage paid in the United States, payable via well-concealed cash, money order, or paypal to firstname.lastname@example.com. Email all questions, trade, wholesale, international orders, or otherwise to this address. You can also order this record along with the Elsinores' No Love Lost CS & You're the One 7" EP, and get all three for only $20.00 postage paid in the US!

1st pressing limited to 500 copies on black vinyl and features artwork from the band screenprinted on reverse-glued salvaged record covers to minimize waste. 8-page lyric booklet insert included.

This album is being co-released with DEAD TANK, HIP KID, HUMAN CRUSH, & IFB RECORDS.

Read what other people are already saying:

"There's something going on here. When an album starts off with "Unlearn," a frantic, frenzied burst of a song that's only one repeated line before immolating itself, just like Wire at their best, followed by "Cult Of Youth," boasting an epic college rock hook caked in infinite reverb and smeared tones, the mind starts picking up sonic tracks and traces. Lexington, Kentucky's Elsinores remind me of many things, but lack the patchwork quilt musical assemblage quality that so many younger band fall prey to. Nothing is given away.

"Dreams Of Youth" is a dark album, let's be clear. Goth goes to the garage maybe? I don't want to sound too glib, because this is a damn fine album. Listen for whispers of Pixies, the Wipers, Samhain, Lost Sounds, Echo And The Bunnymen, and the Damned. I'm particularly taken by the inventive combinations deep within Elsinores' musical DNA. A full-throated vocal delivery that calls to mind Dave Vanian, a sonic palette of guitar sounds blurred and obscured by effects, and bass/drums that are whip smart and a solid, rumbling foundation.
"Dreams Of Youth" is about hitting back against despair, even though in the back of your mind you know that it's going to end in tears."
- Matthew Moyer / Popnihil

"Not encased in feedback but instead a warm reverb, Lexington's The Elsinores return with Dreams of Youth, a follow-up to the excellent split-cassette EP with J Marinelli in 2012. This is a pounding outpouring that relies on punk and lo-fi garage as its root, but eschews both the straight angers of hardcore and the burnt ghosts of pop-punk, instead bounding forward with a cocoon of tight bass, drums and guitar into furthered realms of bobbing rock-n-roll. These are advanced studies in the curriculum lauded forth by the likes of The Wipers. A wistfulness permeates these tunes often; a furrowed brow of the voice that hearkens to a lost-in-thought nearly early-80s delivery, gazing not at shoes but out a dirty wintry window towards something else. Thoughts on the mind. Joy Division cassettes have fallen under the table. Came a sound, a sound like the roll of fetching thick riffs regulated unto the company of addictive punk-hazes, and that sound was swathed in concise poetics about youth, dreams, night, and time. Hail The Elsinores for tightening the Rod so early in the year."
- American Gloam

"It is difficult not to gush about this record... Pure white light/heat energy coursing through impassioned songs set to yearning futures and burned up memory. Plenty of references (Wipers, Nocturnal Projections, Iceage, Dinosaur Jr., Husker Du, the great northwestern 80s/90s bands, the great cassette bands of English 80s, etc.) but mostly pure, place-less, spirit driven music of guitar, drums, and vocals."
- Ben Allen / Radio Free Lexington

This single offers two new tracks that find Ancient Sky's strain of searing psychedelia burning brighter than ever. In stark contrast to so many 60's rehash groups just going through the motions these days, Ancient Sky create compelling, mercurial tunes forged from the most primal elements of rock and roll. Wailing guitars surge and crash across this record, deconstructing melodies atop a deftly chaotic rhythm section that propels the entire turbulent assemblage forward, towards some blazing, unknown end.

Previously only available on their most recent European tour, this record is comprised of two tracks recorded at the same session as the band's "T.R.I.P.S." LP, and is their last release with the lineup consisting of Brian Markham, Pat Broderick, Mike Kutchman and Christian DeRoeck. First pressing of 500 copies (400 black, 100 blue.)

Tracklist:
1. Time is an Ocean
2. The Wind

This record is available for mailorder in the United States for $7.50 postage paid, payable via cash, check or money order, or paypal to firstname.lastname@example.com. First 100 orders will receive translucent blue vinyl. Email all questions - wholesale, trades, international orders, or otherwise - to this address.

[AVAILABLE NOW!]

The east coast's most recent usurpers of unruly hardcore have emerged from the wooded depths of Amherst, Massachusetts. Combining the fundamentals of straight forward USHC with the snotty melody of early 80's west coast punk rock, TWERPS offer you four tracks of rough and rowdy mid-paced hardcore with just enough gruff harmony to keep things interesting. More music for glue sniffers and general misfit fuckups.

Tracklist:
1. PRGNT
2. Upside Down
3. Dull Life
4. Two Sisters

a space I'm coming to appreciate more and more... The Globsters tour was phenomenal; Adam and I shared in the rock and roll misery with punks all across the eastern U.S., got to see old friends and slang some records - what more could you ask for?

The Globsters - Rock and Roll Misery EP is out now, along with The Elsinores -
You're the One EP, two very different and very tasty rock and roll records I can't recommend enough! You can also find all manner of new and freshly restocked
savory jams in new DISTRO update - ragers like the VIDEO and B-LINES LPs and new stuff I picked up out on the road, including the SHOPPERS/PANZRAM split 7", WHITE GUILT 7", MERCILESS GAME 8", SEA OF SHIT 7", CROSS 2XCS and tons more! So check em out!

So much stuff in the works - I'm really excited about this summer! In the near future, expect the new ANCIENT SKY 7", CROSS / ARCANE RIFLES split 7", and a repress of BELOW - St. Anthony's Fire on cassette (just in time for their April weekend with TOMBSTALKER!) I'll have to leave it there for now, but expect more big news soon!

If you're in Kentucky, come out to a SHOW and scope the distro out; get in on some goodies that might not make it to the internet! Wherever you're at, support local music, support DIY! And check out the Globsters interview in the March 2012 issue of
Maximum Rock N Roll (#346)! I might be biased because I was involved, but I have to
say, its essential KY punk reading!!! We'll be seein you!J.D. Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028990823979199986.post-19676636814921549802012-03-13T11:33:00.000-04:002012-03-27T12:06:11.416-04:00KS14 : THE ELSINORES - YOU'RE THE ONE 7" E.P.[AVAILABLE NOW!]

Hailing from the Appalachian-Midwest border town of Lexington, Kentucky,
THE ELSINORES are a new group that have been spreading their homemade variety of power pop/garage punk jams across the South for the past couple of years, releasing and touring on a couple of killer demo tapes that were really a breath of fresh air from the harsh nihilism that has pervaded punk's recent output.

You're the One is the band's first appearance on record, and they really stand out on these new recordings, exploring the concurrence between early punk and rock and roll with a relentless sense of melody in what amount to some really good songs! If the abrasive rock and roll of the Voidoids mixed with the tenacity of Pink Flag-era Wire and the glow of the Beach Boys sounds like your sort of savory jam, then get yourself
a spoonful of the Elsinores!

Tracklist:
1. You're the One
2. Losing
3. Thinking of You
4. Shadowplay

This record is limited to 300 copies on black vinyl and features artwork from the band, including hand-stamped labels and a lyrics sheet. Available for $7.00 postage paid in the United States, payable via well-concealed cash, money order, or paypal to email@example.com. Email all questions, trade, wholesale, international orders, or otherwise to this address. You can also add this record to any order from the DISTRO for only $4.00!

GLOBSTERS is the sound of one punk from Hazard, Kentucky hitting the writhing, mutant masses head-on with his own manic vision of rock and roll. This record is like the nightmare that stays stuck in your head long after you've woken up - you may say
"I Am Not Afraid of Freddy Krueger," but Globsters is a different story!

From the raw punk blasts of "I Don't Wanna Be Mentally Ill" to the demented crooning on "Roll You Up and Smoke You," this record proves that seven inches of punk can still be wild, unexplored territory. So kick back with your favorite Japanese wrestling bootleg, play this record loud, and enjoy the "Rock and Roll Misery!"

*WARNING : GLOBSTERS - Rock and Roll Misery E.P. rates a 1.0 on the Muta scale.*

Tracklist:
1. I Don't Wanna Be Mentally Ill
2. Roll You Up and Smoke You
3. Deny the Belief
4. Freddy Krueger
5. Ultimate Beefcake
6. Rock and Roll Misery

The raging single from The Men is back in print! This record contains an alternate recording of the song "Think" from The Men - Leave Home LP on Sacred Bones Records, backed with a really smokin' cover. In fact their only 7" record to date, "Think" was originally pressed in a run of only 300 copies that quickly evaporated last year, and so we cooked up a second batch! This pressing is 300 copies on black vinyl, with two-color screened covers, reversed from the first press and printed by Rich Samis.

Tracklist:
1. Think
2. Gates of Steel

This record is available for $7.00 postage paid in the United States, payable via well-concealed cash, money order, or paypal to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here's a review from the latest Got Myself zine:

THE MEN "Think" 45 (Karmic Swamp)
When a boy becomes frustrated he either writes a gimpy love song or turns the distortion up past ten and screams his guts out. The primal response would be to do the latter, but there isn't enough of that mongoloid attitude in music these days. THE MEN certainly take this route and produce a noisy mess with "Think", a composition that trudges along, sounding as though it was recorded on a jam box inside of a shower, the audible result of a hot morning steam. Think about today's bullshit and curse the faucet. I'd say THE MEN succeed at this single in a way like SEX/VID did with "Tania". "Think" flips over into an unexpected DEVO cover ("Gates of Steel"). A pop song given the total shit treatment

The Elsinores are from Lexington, KY and play a heartfelt mix of power pop and
doo wop, glazing over the boundaries between punk and rock and roll the way that only three best friends stuck together in a basement in the suburban wastelands can.
"No Love Lost," their second tape, finds the band expanding on their interpretation of bare-bones garage pop while maintaining the fervent, sincere style of songwriting that really sets them apart. It's hard to make comparisons with a band that takes such a fundamental approach to their music, but you're liable to hear strains of
THE REATARDS, JOY DIVISION, THE BEACH BOYS, and even more bands that you know
and love on this 10-minute cassette EP!

We dubbed 100 copies of this tape for the Elsinores Summer Tour this past year, and lo and behold, 30 copies managed to find their way back to Kentucky! So we're making them available here and now. Each tape is hand-labeled and comes packaged in a norelco case with vellum j-card and lyrics sheet.

Tracklist:
1. I Love You
2. Heartbreak
3. Kill the Snakes
4. Untitled
5. Keitha

Available via mailorder for $5.50 postage paid in the United States, payable via paypal to firstname.lastname@example.com, or add this tape to any order from the DISTRO for only $3.00!

KS11 is the self-titled EP from Lexington, Kentucky resident thrashmasters TOMBSTALKER. This is the band's first record following a string of limited run demos and splits, and sees them develop into a fully realized metallic force, plowing the burnt and blackened fields of underground American metal in a ripping frenzy that's equal parts crossover
d-beat thrash and Swedish death. You can download this record in its entirety from Scummified. They compare the sound of this EP to DISSECTION, DISMEMBER, and
IRON MAIDEN, which is a tall order, but this record fucking kills! Don't miss out on this
vinyl debut from the heaviest band to come out of Kentucky since EXILE!

This record is limited to 300 copies (50 on red colored vinyl sold by the band on tour
and 250 on black and white mix colored vinyl for mailorder) and comes packaged in a hand-glued and numbered pocket sleeve complete with lyrics sheet.

Tracklist:
1. Lecherous Aeon
2. Ocularis Terribus

the next release from KARMIC SWAMP is at the pressing plant right now and should be available in a matter of weeks. KS11 is the self-titled EP from lexington, kentucky resident thrashmasters TOMBSTALKER (ON TOUR NOW with COFFIN DUST!) this is the band's first record following a string of limited run demos and splits, and sees them develop into a FULLY REALIZED METALLIC FORCE (yeah it's pretty intense!) nearly fifteen minutes of searing, pounding, clawing, fucking METAL. WORSHIP AT THE THRONE OF FORTUNE!

two more releases are on the horizon, and ready to launch us in completely different directions. KS10 is THE ELSINORES - NO LOVE LOST CS. this tape builds on the kentucky band's self-released demo with five new songs of infectious garage pop jammed full of hooks (think somewhere between the BEACH BOYS and BIG STAR.)

i wish i was as cool as these guys when i was 17 (i wish i was as cool as these guys now.) really excited to get this one out there and into people's ears! THE ELSINORES just wrapped up an awesome tour of the southeastern US, where they had this tape with them. mail order copies are getting the final touches right now and should be available very soon!

KS13 is shaping up to be a completely baleful split c-30 between kentucky doomed brethren LURKING and ANGELMAKER, in a release that combines scathing, organic drone metal with dismal aural meditation in a work of total experiential deconstruction. coreleased with our friends at CONCENTRIC DRONE CULT, these tapes are being packaged in hand painted boxes limited to 50 copies. look for copies available for mail order sometime in august!

in addition to working on these new releases, i've just updated the distro with all kinds of new stuff picked up in trades and at shows recently. 7"s from CULO, VOLCANIC SLUT, FACE THE RAIL, tapes from SHOPPERS, HUBRIS, DREAM POLICE and lots more! a bunch of this is already out of print, and the stuff that's not is still really cool
SO CHECK IT OUT!

further down the road, new 7"s are on the way from ANCIENT SKY, VELOZ, LICH, and GLOBSTERS, so keep your eyes red for that stuff! and lastly i've upped the music player on the site with some new tunes, tracks from these new releases and then some family jams thrown in for good measure. added downloads and shows pages and other housecleaning you'd expect after being away for months... WAKE UP AND RAGE!J.D.

in the spirit of nice records, nasty jams, and getting two bands across the fucking country we've pressed 100 of the new 7"s from THE MEN on purple colored vinyl, and we're making those copies available for preorder NOW. preorder lasts as long as copies do, and will ship on january 3rd, 2011.

this record is a raw punk onslaught, the first ever 7" single from THE MEN in fact, and delivers all the acrid four-track punishment you could expect and more. the a-side "THINK" (an alternate version of the single from their forthcoming LP on SACRED BONES) is a three-minute hardcore stomper bursting at the seams with existential loathing and self-revulsion, augmented by the vocal sounds of a one-man fist fight. couple that ferocity with an absolute throwdown of a DEVO cover on the b-side, and we've got a classic
punk single on our hands!

HATE hail from the urban wasteland of northern chicago and play a scathing mutilation of hardcore, sludge, and blackened crust that might bring to mind the metallic discord of bands as varied as RORSHACH or THOU, or might just make you really pissed off. this single-sided 12" is a remastered collection of tracks from limited self-released demos that makes for a properly menacing introduction to the band. limited to 133 copies on black, this record comes in hand-screened covers (thanks to our friends in LORD GREEN) and includes extras like posters, show flyers, sharp objects and even a discourse on humanity! each record is also numbered and features a unique hand-etched b-side. this release turned out amazing and we're glad to make this fury available today in an aptly malignant format. coreleased with VANTHRAX RECORDS.

1. hell
2. needle
3. bikebomb

VELOZ (ex-FURNACE; GENDERS) are a new hardcore band out of boston that have made a name for themselves very quickly following two intense U.S. tours just earlier this year. this, their first record, is a hardcore eruption of metallic d-beat frenzy, blazing riffs and unadulterated furor.

here these guys pound out six songs in under eight minutes, in what amounts to the sound of a regime overthrow crammed onto a seven inch. this EP will clobber you. VELOZ have definitely broken their own ground here musically, but if you're trying to pin them down i would say they occupy some frenetic space between the guts of DROPDEAD and the brains of BARONESS, and what an occupation it is!

this record is limited to 500 copies, and features screenprinted inserts, vellum lyric sheets, and gorgeous full-color covers courtesy of BRANKO VRANIC.

in case you were unaware, VELOZ ARE ON TOUR RIGHT NOW! and if you're lucky enough to live in any of these towns they're playing, go and see them, scratch your head a couple times and pick this record up in person! the road is tough on bands; it pisses girlfriends off and eats transmissions whole, and so these guys could definitely handle seeing some friendly faces.

we are very proud to bring to you today the newest onslaught from brooklyn's most inciting punk band THE MEN. for KS03 we took these two really gnarly instrumentals from the "immaculada" sessions that sound kind of like sonic youth took too much dramamine before they hit the beach and had them pro-printed on cobalt tape, slid the mix into spray-painted soft poly cases and now we're throwing them at the world...like burger wrappers from a moving car but way better for everybody.

in all there are 125 of these tapes. 75 of them went with the men on tour last week, and the last 40 or so i've got are available here and now. they're all hand painted, hand cut, and hand numbered, and now they're being hand SOLD OUT!

Abbott's first statewide TV ad in race against Wendy Davis is in Spanish
Updated 11:12 pm, Tuesday, June 17, 2014
AUSTIN — Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott's first statewide television ad in his race for governor is in Spanish.
The ad debuts Tuesday on Univision during the Brazil-Mexico World Cup match and runs on Spanish-language networks across Texas during the World Cup, said Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch. He would not give the amount of the ad buy.
Abbott has said he's fighting for the Hispanic vote in his race against Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis. He has highlighted the fact that if he's elected, his wife Cecilia would be the first Latina to be first lady in Texas.
Abbott also has said the Republican Party is a natural fit for the growing Hispanic vote. Democrats have scoffed at the idea, citing such GOP initiatives as Voter ID that they say disenfranchise minority voters.
Abbott's ad features his mother-in-law and sister-in-law saying that he is a loving husband and father, that his values are their values and that Texas can count on Abbott as they have.
Davis spokeswoman Rebecca Acuña painted the ad as damage control, citing the state GOP platform with its hard line on immigratino and Abbott's comparison to corruption in South Texas to that which occurs in third-world countries when he unveiled his border security plan earlier this year.
"It's no coincidence that he is in damage control mode one week after the release of Greg Abbott's party platform that is so offensive to Latino families," Acuña said. "His decision to go up this early on television shows he's very nervous his insulting reference to border communities as the 'third world' and his opposition to public education funding, the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform are big problems for him on Election Day."

Rosie Phalen: "Conocer a tus suegros nunca es fácil."

Rosie Phalen: "Sus valores son los mismos que los nuestros. La fe, la familia, y la honestidad."
Mary Lucy Phalen: "El es un esposo y padre amoroso con Cecilia y Audrey."
Rosie Phalen: "Por más de 30 años, Greg ha sido alguien con quien podemos contar."
Mary Lucy Phalen: "Y como gobernador, Tejas también podrá contar con él."

Rosie Phalen: "His values are our values. Faith, family and honesty."

Bodhi (fka Blaise)
Bodhi (fka Blaise)
We bought Bodhi for our 3 year old son for Christmas in 2013. He is a typical energetic Boston with one blue eye (just like our son). He arrived safe, healthy, and happy to Colorado from California. Jason was great and quick to help with a cough Bodhi developed from the flight (common for snub-nosed dogs), and even offered to pay for the medication that would clear it up. He had had no health issues, and is growing perfectly, and had been in terrific health...

Marquis and Albendazole are preventative medicines. Both defend and prevent parasite's and are used to terminate the parasite's coccidia and giardia; both are administered orally. We find them to be so important that in order for us to offer a 1 year Health Guarantee we ask that these are administered. These are used specifically as a PRECAUTIONARY TREATMENT which we take for every puppy in case their immune system is compromised during the transition period (i.e. stressed). Think of it like vitamins for dogs. The Marquis is a 1 times treatment 72 hours (3 days) after arrival on a full stomach. IF INCLUDED IN YOUR BAGGIE (some might not have this product if the puppy has already received this treatment under our care) The Albendazole is given .25ml am and pm for 5 days starting 24 hours after arrival and only after a meal (albendazole is a de-wormer and there is no need to get any additional de-wormer from your vet). Once the albendazole is gone, you do not need any more worming medication.

Petro Won't Let Jays Rest on Laurels
by Gary Lambrecht | LaxMagazine.com
Freshman Phil Castranova is a standout defensive midfielder for Johns Hopkins, but he knows better than to boot a ground ball. The Voice told him so.
It's late April, and Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse coach Dave Pietramala has that familiar, gravelly buzz in his tired, early-morning voice. Whether Hopkins, one of the more scrutinized Division I programs, is stumbling, as it has in recent years, or thriving, as the Blue Jays are once again, The Voice projects the same tone – restless, agitated.
"We're a good team, but there are a lot of really good teams out there. We're grinding it out, finding different ways to win," Pietramala said of his third-ranked Blue Jays. "When we play well, we can be very good. But we've got to stay dialed in. We still have much more growing to do. This group is not even close to complete."
Of course, life is better at Homewood, where the Blue Jays are playing with a youth-be-damned swagger and getting it done in ways the Hopkins faithful have not enjoyed lately. After dispatching Navy, 14-5, Hopkins is rolling with a five-game winning streak, during which it has averaged 12 goals.
The 2011 Blue Jays start six sophomores (attackman Zach Palmer, midfielders John Ranagan and John Greeley, defensemen Tucker Durkin and Chris Lightner and goalie Pierce Bassett) and two freshmen (defenseman Jack Reilly and midfielder Rob Guida), and are playing in my opinion for the sport's top Coach of the Year candidate.
Hopkins dragged a distinct whiff of mediocrity into this spring, after going a combined 17-13 in its previous two seasons. That included last year's 7-8 thud that marked the school's first losing finish since 1971, the last time it missed the NCAA tournament. For the last two seasons, the Blue Jays had been bounced hard and early from the playoffs by surrendering a combined 37 goals.
This is the best a Hopkins team has performed since the undefeated, 2005 squad finished off its fourth consecutive NCAA tournament final four appearance by winning the school's first title since 1987.
This is the most consistent, disciplined defense Hopkins has fielded since that senior-dominated, 16-0 team staged a weekly clinic. This team has shown the tenacity to come back from a five-goal deficit at Maryland and win in overtime, the poise to hold off late-charging Virginia, the toughness to win three, one-goal games during its current run. Hopkins has great shooters, hard-dodging midfielders, hitters, great passers, ground ball machines, transition speed and an unflappable goalie.
Yet, there is nothing that suggests comfort in The Voice, as Pietramala's team begins to prepare for Loyola as its homecoming opponent Saturday. Where an outsider might sense some greatness starting to happen, Pietralama sees a thin margin for error.
"We can't afford to look beyond [the next game]. Maybe we're too young to look beyond," Pietramala said. "We have to keep putting our noses in the dirt, knowing we can be buried any day. I want us to win, and get hungrier for the next win. Play great for 30 minutes, play great for the next 30. We haven't done that."
If you watched the Blue Jays' destruction of the visiting, out-classed Midshipmen on Saturday night – a game during which Hopkins scored the first 10 goals and did not allow Navy's first score for nearly 34 minutes – you might have caught a classic Pietramala moment. Early in the fourth quarter, Navy midfielder Nikk Davis had just scored a goal, in the middle of a 4-1 Navy "run" that would trim the Blue Jays' lead to 13-3. The game essentially was over, the home crowd of nearly 5,000 getting a little bored.
And there, in the timeout huddle, The Voice was turning heads.
"I'm upset after [Navy's] third goal, and [the players] are looking at me like I've got six heads," said Pietramala, who recalled the days when he roamed the landscape for Hopkins as arguably the most dominant defenseman of any era. "If my guy didn't have a goal in the first half, I didn't want him having a goal in the second. I didn't want him getting anything, ever. That's a mentality we've got to develop."
Senior faceoff man Matt Dolente is well-versed in those Pietramala teaching moments. He is one of the seniors who help the underclassmen understand and interpret The Voice. Youngsters such as standout freshman defensive midfielder Phil Castranova, who booted an easy ground ball on the faceoff wing during a recent, 11-6 win over Albany that was not one of Hopkins' finer efforts.
"Coach was getting ready to rip [Castranova's] head off," Dolente said. "Sometimes, as a senior, it's best to get between Coach and one of the younger guys and kind of mediate that relationship. I reminded Phil that he had gotten 20 other ones for me and he's going to get the next one. We've played with an edge, and a lot of that comes from Coach. We have guys playing above their age."
Whether the Blue Jays' continue to play that way remains to be seen. One thing is certain. The Voice will not allow them to feel too impressed with themselves, even as they continue to impress.

Runway D.J. Michaelangelo L'Acqua Makes Us a Playlist
... And all of the songs are inspired by his favorite designers (DVF, McQueen, and more).
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swimwear 2011 kicked off yesterday in Miami, which means one thing: half-naked models — and lots of them. That, of course, is an unfair oversimplification of the season, which has more to offer than just hot chicks in swimsuits ... like D.J.'s! Spinning music at fashion parties!
Michaelangelo L'Acqua is the global music director for W Hotels Worldwide and a veteran of the runway scene. In 1999, he was named music director of Gucci and Yves St. Laurent; since then, he has produced soundtracks for more than 150 fashion shows, including Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Michael Kors. Tomorrow night, L'Acqua will debut a mix he whipped up for a party honoring U.K. designer Melissa Odabash and W Vieques at W South Beach. To get inside the deckmaster's head, we asked him to make us a playlist featuring the five songs he believes best encapsulate the spirits of his five favorite designers.
John Galliano: "Baby Baby Baby" by Make the Girl Dance
"I have always loved the way Galliano plays with fashion and makes it theatrical. He's punk, glam, sex, rock and roll, and everything fabulous. 'Baby Baby Baby' offers a bit of this attitude."
Diane Von Furstenberg: "That's Alright" by Lady Linn and Her Magnificent Seven
"To many, [Von Furstenberg] is the Muse of Fashion: Playful, chic, feminine, and, most importantly, always a lady."
Karl Lagerfeld: "Tiger" by Maximum Balloon and featuring Aku
"The heavyweight champion of fashion and a featherweight rock star, Karl offers so many expressions when he designs. 'Tiger' represents his edginess."
Alexander McQueen: "Kiss the Sky" by Shawn Lee Ping Pong Orchestra and featuring Nino Moschella
"McQueen's avant-garde couture designs influenced fashion and pop culture forever. Kiss the sky and all praise McQueen!"
Tom Ford: "Next Girl" by the Black Keys
"Tom's design vision represents everything that is fashionably sexual. 'Next Girl' represents the underbelly of his sonic identity."

PLEASE READ!!!! HELP ME! I know it is long but I need advice.
Friday, August 26, 2011
Yeah I know this isn't a weight loss blog or anything like that. But I really need help with a guy thing. I know I sound weird and stupid for asking this question but I never believe people I actually know so maybe strangers will help me out.
So here it goes.
I live in a college town and was a janitor for the summer. I am 22 and while working there I met an older shy guy that I started to have massive feelings for. He doesn't like people but he liked hanging around me and one other girl that I met there. One day I told her how I felt about him and she told me "Oh my god you need to tell him. I think he likes you too. I always catch him staring at you." The next day at work she texts me while we were all in the room just to tell me that he was staring at me and he looked up and saw her looking at him and he was like "what?� I also always caught him many, many times too.
He also always hated to be touched by anybody and when they would he would squirm and run away yet every time I did it he wouldn�t move at all. One day I said �uhh I touched you and you didn�t move� he was like �I gave you a look�. That is another weird thing.
We had a BBQ at another workers house and we got him to ride there with us and another guy. When we got there he wouldn't sit down. I told him to sit down and that I wouldn't bite him lol. Then he sat down on the couch next to me but he looked super stiff and so I was like you know you can spread out a bit more. He finally got comfortable and for some reason pulled my keys out of my purse. For some reason he always liked to play with anything I had lying around like my keys or my phone or my ipod.
Me and my friend like to make him kind of uncomfortable to make him come out of his shell so after the BBQ when we dropped him off we told him that we will be coming over to hang out. We ended up buying some mikes hard. When we got to his place he was super uncomfortable but we all got to talking and it was ok. My friend kept asking him questions and he hates it because we get so much out of him lol. So then she told me to tell him my "secret.� I told her no. And she was like please we don�t know to much about you. He just turns his whole body to me, smiles and says "yes let�s hear about you." (Another thing is he hates is hearing about people. Except one time at work, the 3 of us were talking about drunken awkward moments. He really wanted know mine but I never ended up telling him about it.) "I don't know anything about you except that you are an animal lover and I like that." I thought that was an odd thing to say. Then he started asking me questions like "do you play any instruments? Do you play any sports?" which I answered no to both. So then he tells me "you should play hockey! I love hockey and used to play." My friend then asks "are hockey girls hot?" And he replies with "oh yeah".
When I told him that it was my last day of work he got all shocked and was like �what today is your last day?� and I was just like yeah. He was like �well a little bit of warning would have been nice.� He looked kind of upset and made a little moan. At the end of the day our boss and a lady we worked with were in our boss�s office having a really heated argument. I saw the guy I liked coming down the hall so I stretched out to look at him and he did the same thing. Somebody saw him do it and he was like �she peeped at me so I peeped back at her.� When he noticed that our co-worker and boss were fighting he looked at me and I was like �what?� He was like �I�m scared� �can I hide behind you?� I was standing in front of a wall with a tiny garbage can behind me so I was like �uh I guess if you want to stand in the garbage can.� So he came up right next to me and stood there cowering.� He was like super close and he hates being that close to people. When we were leaving I had planned on telling him how I felt. But he like took off in one direction and I went in the other direction. All I could do was yell �bye�.� but all he said back was �yeah�. I had a friend that still worked there and before I left I found some glasses and I left them there so my friend ended up putting them in his backpack and telling him I would be by his place to pick them up. All he said was �now I can�t roam around my house naked all the time� lol.

Yes he really is very introverted but so am I. That is a huge problem. I am extremely shy when it comes to people I like so I'm not sure how it is going to work out but I have to give it a shot I guess. Can't live my life with a million regrets. I need to take chances whether I end up hurt or happy right?

Good luck when you pick up your glasses ^_^
this is one of those things that asking someone else might not help, we can all advise you this way or that, but i think you really just needed someone to hear what you had to say and say go for it, no?
he sounds like a very introverted kind of guy, and being a very shy girl myself, its hard for me to talk to people face to face but its easier if someone else makes that first move. so maybe making that first move to try to further a more solid friendship will help?
try asking him to hang out and what not and see how that goes, try to make it just the 2 of you in a semi public semi private kinda area.

By older I mean by 9 years. I am 22. Maybe you are right but the thing is that my summer job is over now so I wont see him again. Plus there is a lot more that has happened just I felt that it was already way to long to add another like 80 paragraphs. So that is why she was pushing. I have never told a guy that I have liked him before and I feel like maybe when I do go pick up the glasses it is a good time. And also the thing is he doesn't care to get to know anybody. I am the only person that he outright asks questions like that too. Thanks you guys have a wonderful day too

I agree with the previous poster. Getting to know him better as a person will be better for the both of you.
It seems like your friend is trying to push the relationship a little too quickly. (i.e. asking if "hockey girls are hot" puts the pressure of romance on immediately) It might be best to spend some time with him alone so you don't have to feel that pressure of a romantic relationship. The more "real" time you spend with him with the two of you, the better you both will feel. :)

It sounds like this guy was trying to get to know you as a person. It also sounds like he could be interested in you too. However, take it slow and continue when you have an opportunity to build on a foundation of friendship first. When you already have "feelings" for someone in secret those feelings can cloud your judgement and/or perception of the person until you have a chance to spend "real time" with him. Have a wonderful day

DMX Is Going To Jail Again
Rapper DMX is heading back to jail just weeks after serving a four-month stint behind bars for a probation violation.
The gravel-voiced hip-hop star is planning to surrender to authorities and begin serving time in Los Angeles in connection to a reckless driving conviction eight years ago.
TMZ.com reports DMX was placed on probation after he pleaded no contest to the crime, which he has since violated and has been ordered to serve 90 days behind bars.
The rapper's manager insists her client, real name Earl Simmons, is "focused" on taking care of all of his past legal issues so he can move on with his life.
It's a dark time for DMX - the recently separated from his wife, according to reports.
Tashera Simmons, who wed the rapper in 1999, has stood by her husband throughout his legal troubles, but has decided enough is enough, according to Allhiphop.com.
Tashera is said to have confirmed the separation to the website and announced plans for a new reality TV series, which will show her rebuilding her life with the couple's four children following the split.

Well, at least I can fathom why Drake was tweeting this weekend pro-J&M stuff (ie wanting to hit it out of the park). Nothing is a coincidence. I think he knew what scenes were about to air this Monday and anticipated the backlash.

Daniel was way out of line rough housing JJ around like he did. Would he have done the same to Abby in that situation? I bet not. He's a professional adult trained to handle crisis under pressure and how he reacted was completely in the wrong. Sure JJ is a punk getting under his skin, but the boy was shocked over Parker being in harms way. JJ didn't intentionally set out to hurt Parker. He was just a stupid kid acting in a selfish manner. He definitely deserved a tongue lashing and to be thrown out, but not manhandled. I'm disappointed that Jennifer didn't bring up that point to Daniel.
I really do like JJ's addition to the Dannifer storyline. It feels so much more honest to the relationship struggles than the goofy stuff they concocted with Chloe.
Kristen and Sami were nothing compared to the fun of Kristen and Nicole! So looking forward to the continuation of their battle tomorrow! I'm ecstatic they finally decided to pit these two powerhouses actresses against each other!
Brady and Nicole are comfortable and familiar, but not my first choice to have paired romantically. I just don't get sparks with them that pull me over the moon. I do like their friendship though and I can understand them falling back into bed together. I like seeing all sides of Nicole and I've been bored with her convent stint so I am open to where this may go.
I feel for the Marlena and John fans with today's episode. What a slam. I think Marlena slapped the wrong responsible party.....yes writers, that would be you.
So all is forgiven with Gabi and Sami? I would have appreciated time taken for a real honest heart-to-heart between these women. These are the moments that give needed depth to the tale and shouldn't be squandered to rush other plots along. Show us character growth and connection in a meaningful manner, especially when it comes to such an important story. I hate to see them gloss over Gabi and Sami's relationship.
So Sami still loves Rafe. It's not surprising considering their history together. I actually liked hearing her speak freely without Ej over her shoulder monitoring her every move. She's obviously one needy messed up chick when it comes to the matters of the heart. And, I'm not surprised by the move to keep viewers continually guessing which way the wind blows today for Sami. This is a soap and this is how they roll.
I still think the whole 'cut it off', crude and disgusting, but they obviously wanted something quick and that would generate talk. So they have it.
I will always like Sami with a gun in her hand. BANG! Here we go.
|Jun 10 2013, 09:32 PM Post #304
You know what would make this Sami story way more interesting to me?
Spoiler: click to toggleI want her to at least have somewhat of a sinister motive here. I don't need or want her to be a martyr.

I just finished the show--wow Sami didn't even look to see who was hovering over Rafe--just shot him dead! Saving Rafe is the only good and decent thing she has done in months!
As far as the spoilerish stuff that came out in Atl., I think if NBC gave the writers the "OK", the writers would drop the Ejami mess in a flash, so maybe that's happened and everything they spoke of in Atlanta is now null and void! AND, also I know for a fact that JS was giving some good comments and hope to Ejoles that weekend too..sooo, just saying..
Sami does love Rafe. EJ will have to deal with it, looks like it's going to happen!

Okay. This is what I've asked y'all not to do. If you heard it first hand, fine. If NBC wants them to drop anything, they haven't had time to do it since Atlanta.

I 'm more interested in his reaction,when he finds out the plan Stefano actually had for Rafe.

He'll probably think, "Damn, I knew I should have taken that gun away from Samantha!"

Can we get everybody's reaction to that? :D

When it first appeared,I think someone posted that AS said in an interview that she had it dyed.I liked Kate's blue streak better,it didn't seem garish like the pink in AS blonde hair.The sooner this pink streak is gone,the better.It clashes with everything she wears.

Did Kristen say to Sami that she would screw up with EJ again and EJ would toss her out, again?
I'm confused as to when Sami screwed up with Ej and he tossed her out? Did this make any sense?

No, it usually was the other way around with EJ doing the screwing up.
|Jun 10 2013, 10:32 PM Post #315
Yes - I had the same thought/question.
|Jun 10 2013, 10:40 PM Post #316
Nope but in the scheme of things that don't make sense this ones minor league.
|Jun 10 2013, 10:40 PM Post #317
I had the same thought. On the tiny list of things that have remained consistent about EJ over the years, never rejecting Sami is one of those things.
|Jun 10 2013, 10:41 PM Post #318
Except there have been times he has rejected Sami.
|Jun 10 2013, 10:43 PM Post #319
When she wanted to be with him? When?
|Jun 10 2013, 10:47 PM Post #320
Okay, thanks. I thought that came across weird, but that maybe I had missed something somewhere.
I should have known it was out of place when I also heard Sami spewing about not wanting her kids living in the same house as Kristen???! :eyeroll: As if Kristen leaving then provides her impressionable children the perfect home setting. :blink: That's why I enjoyed the Nicole/Kristen sparing so much better. Those I understood.

The Attebury Family Partnership made its case Monday to block the unsecured creditors committee in the American Housing Foundation bankruptcy case from hiring an Amarillo firm to represent the creditors.
The partnership alleges the firm, Mullin, Hoard & Brown, has existing and potential conflicts of interest and behaved inappropriately when representing the partnership and other creditors.
"They've already shown where their loyalties lie with the Templeton group," said the partnership's president, Billy Attebury, referring to creditor Robert Templeton. "And they'll throw anybody under the bus."
The late Steve Sterquell created AHF in 1989 and built it into an affordable housing provider from coast to coast with about 13,000 apartments. He died in an April 1 car crash officials have said was intentional.
The main point of contention was that the law firm faced conflicts in trying to represent both lenders like the Atteburys, who might be paid earlier, and investors in AHF's limited partnerships.
The law firm disagreed.
"We repeatedly told clients that if they want to object to another's claim or get paid earlier, that was a possibility but that we could not represent them in that," said David Mullin of the law firm.
The firm also argued classifying the creditors as mere investors was impossible because shares can't be sold in nonprofits like AHF.
Some of the "investors" also lent AHF entities money such as Templeton, who lent $2.5 million to Hurike, an AHF entity, "a complete shell of nothing - a typical Sterquell deal," Mullin said.
Mullin, Hoard & Brown, which with the law firm of Lovell, Lovell, Newsome & Isern are pursuing about $28 million in creditor claims, has been identifying AHF assets and trying to prevent any spending of them until creditors can recoup what they can.
He also said it would be a "disaster" to hire another firm to represent the creditor committee. If it wasn't for his firm's efforts so far, "all this money would be offshore and everybody would be reaching for air."
Attebury confirmed sending an e-mail in July to the law firm saying they should stop representing any of the creditors in any manner or he would go to Bankruptcy Judge Robert Jones about the alleged conflicts.
The Atteburys had been clients of the law firm for years, including for the early phases of the AHF bankruptcy. They made several payments for their share of that representation until the current fight erupted but never signed agreements to ratify the hiring of the firm or a cost-sharing agreement.
"The first reason is the bankruptcy estate is insufficient to pay all the creditors," Attebury said. "And they wanted us to give up rights that were available to us" to get paid earlier than other creditors.
