I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at South State Bank. I primarily use South State Bank in order to deposit checks and for their debit card services. There have been times when I accidentally over drafted my account and after talking to my favorite representative, she had the overdraft charge cancelled. The overdraft was completely my fault, however, South State Bank was understanding of my situation and accommodated my needs. I have done business with larger banks and this is not the norm. When you are a client at South State Bank, you feel as if they really care about you.
I joined south state Bank (known as first federal at the time) a little over a year ago. After a bad relationship with a previous bank I was a little nervous about trusting another bank. From the very beginning their employees were very friendly, patient, and willing to help. They helped me pick the best account to suit me, which just happen to be their first free checking. So I was happy to have a checking account with no monthly fee. I never had any problems with them at all and when it came time to find a new car they provided me with a loan at only 1.99 Apr. It has been well over a year and still love this bank.
Great bank unless you like to use your debit cards.. I use my card and the next attempt it is blocked. Call the # provided and get told cards are reactivated after verifying the transaction. But then go to lunch with the family and get embarrassed because card is declined... Call back and asked did I use the card at this restaurant...yes I did and you declined it... We're sorry your card is really activated and good for use... Declined again.. And again and again... Call back did you attempt to charge at such and such... Yes I did and you declined it.. We're sorry cards are good now. No they aren't they still get declined..... Now I have to wait till Monday to go into a branch and get it straight cause it is a sat. And y'all aren't open so I am careless until Monday.... It is straight b.s. that every time the card is used I have to verify the purchase and card is blocked..
I am with South State Bank because they took over First Federal of Charleston, which I'd been with 25 years, my Bill Pay is set up there and a few of the old timers are still around. First thing they did was cancel the high interest account FF started to attract deposits to increase value before selling to SSB. I'm getting 1/10th of a cent on account with tens of thousands of dollars in them. I email a branch manager a question and my email is ignored. And I have repeatedly had the same humiliating and expensive experience with my debit card being blocked when i have plenty of money in my account. The branch manager told me it was for my protection as they area small bank and do not want to have to cover fraud. Hooey! That is for their protection! As the other writer mentioned, there is no customer service on weekends, which is really unbelievable.
Bottom line: Banks not giving us access to our own money is deeply troubling. I'm trying to get away from all banks. I trust them not one iota. Look what they did to our economy and what they are doing now to build a pipeline on private land. Look how they are brutalizing people in North Carolina trying to defend US Constitutional law. If i could i would try a member owned credit union.
Do not ever use them if you value customer service. We purchased tickets for the the Wings Over North Georgia air show (that was rain or shine) and they cancelled the show due to rain and would not refund our tickets-Wings Over North Georgia said we could drive back to Rome the following day (4 hour drive and rain prediction that day as well) or we could go next year...so I opened a dispute to get my money back with South State. South State denied my dispute by saying that it was "clearly stated on the website that there were no refunds"...I was like, "Well it was also clearly stated on the website it was rain or shine and they cancelled the show"...she said that it didn't matter the decision was made and that the case was closed. I even told her that I would be leaving the back because I felt this was poor customer service and all she said was "Is there anything else I can help you with today?". I'm canceling my account for a bank that will take better care of my money.
Here is why you should not use SCBT (South Carolina Bank & Trust). A month ago, I traveled from Las Vegas to Los Angeles for the weekend, and my debit card got blocked after one transaction. I couldn't reactivate it because the customer service helpline runs only during the weekdays and on Saturday from 8:00-2:00pm. Stuck without money, since it happened after 2:00pm on Saturday, I had to wait and borrow money just to get home. This happened AGAIN this past week in San Francisco, and again, the customer service hotline was closed so I had to borrow money to get home. I sent this message to them in reply,
"Hello. I am contacting you again because of SCBT's lack of urgency to help one of their long term patrons. I am currently stranded in San Francisco with no cash. Why? Because SCBT deactivated my card again. I have no way of mitigating the situation because the customer disservice helpline is closed for another 24 hours. I am hungry, helpless, and it is all due to what I am sure will be explained as a "safety protocol". Have I mentioned that the exact same thing happened a month ago when I traveled to Los Angeles for work? I keep trying to find a way to rate your services, but I cannot find a selection for "negative five stars". Get your act together SCBT, not because I plan to remain as a patron to your excuse for a business, but rather so that future unfortunate patrons don't experience the same egregious customer service that I am experiencing right now. Do you roger that?"

" Genre: Indie Rock & Punk - New Wave & Post-punk / Artist: Blondie / Original recording remastered / Audio CD released 2001-09-10 at Chrysalis "
* Prices may differ from that shown
As part of the 'class of 77', Blondie, along with The Damned, have often been seen as 'traitors' by champions of the punk movement. Deborah Harry's angry scowl first heard on 'Rip Her to Shreds' soon turned into a sultry pout and provocative smile as she harnessed the popularity of disco and the band moved to a slicker, more polished sound.
'Parallel Lines', Blondie's third album, is almost universally lauded as their best record. It's a sentiment I share. While there isn't much of an overarching theme in terms of the album's content, other than having fun, it is a great album in the sense of being stuffed full of great singles. As the sole girl in a band full of guys, lead singer Deborah Harry will always be the group's talisman and most easily identifiable member. It's also the platform she used to broaden her style and become a superstar. With an opening salvo of 'Hangin' on the Telephone' and keeping up the tempo on 'One Way or Another', it's a record that hits the ground running. 'One Way...' has long been a favourite of mine, with Harry's snarling yet alluring vocals
clashing superbly with the spiky guitar chords. One wonders whether she's out for revenge, lust, or both. It's unusually structured as well, highlighting their ability to keep arrangements spicy and fresh.
The band show their eclecticism and broad influences throughout. 'Picture This' and 'Sunday Girl' are nuggets of pop perfection, with Harry showing a more innocent side than one might have previously thought her capable. 'Fade Away and Radiate' is haunting, the title coming from a line in their previous hit single 'Dreaming'. Disco beats pervade on 'Heart of Glass', which has aged remarkably well considering it is very much of an era.
They don't forget their snotty side either. Closer 'Just Go Away' is a right bitch-fest with an Oi style chorus, and it does come across as all a bit playground cat-fight, which I find a bit tiresome. The sheer gift for melody they show throughout more than makes up for it. It's a record that is barbed with hooks, but shining with its pop sensibilities. Their sassy attitude pervades without becoming grating (for the most part), and it is well-produced too. It's also apt to raise a toast to Blondie' unsung hero, drummer Clem Burke. His ability behind the drumkit is one of flexible adaptability, and of understated professionalism. Clearly a whizz with the sticks, he doesn't let his ego ruin the record and can turn his hand to any style and pepper a track with fills and shuffles that one wouldn't expect to find in there. The USP of Blondie was always going to be Debbie Harry, and he was smart enough to know it. Phil Collins eat your heart out.
This is lauded as Blondie's best studio effort, and rightly so. All killer and no filler (unless you're referring to the dance floor), it's stood the test of time as a post-punk/New Wave/indie oh what the hell it's just damn good pop music. Perfect for brightening up this current slump of cruddy weather.
Parallel Lines was the third album released by Blondie in late 1978 on Chrysalis records and reached number one in the UK album chart in February 1979. It has been released and reissued on numerous occasions since, the latest being a deluxe collectors edition released in 2008. Parallel Lines is arguably the best album the band ever released and one which I consider to be a classic of the period. There were four tracks from this album that were originally released as singles. 'Picture This' was the first less successful release but 'Hanging on the Telephone', 'Heart of Glass' and 'Sunday Girl' were major hits for the band, the latter two reaching number 1 in the UK charts.
Former waitress and Playboy bunny Debbie Harry had to wait a long time before achieving success as a singer. She originally began singing in the late 1960s in a folk-rock outfit called 'The Wind in the Willows' before joining a rock band called 'The Stilettos' where she was to meet her long time future partner Chris Stein. Stein and Harry formed Blondie in 1975 and were joined by fellow band members on this album Clement Burke (drummer) and Jimmy Destri (keyboard). The band was originally named 'Angel and the Snake' but changed their name to Blondie in late 1975 - some say after Hitler's German Shepherd dog 'Blondi'. This however may have more to do with punk propaganda of the time and it's more likely that the band's title is simply derived from a nickname given to the bleach-blonde lead singer.
Parallel Lines benefited greatly from Mike Chapman's production and expert ear for a catchy melody. Chapmen had previously had experience co-writing a number of songs for British glam rock artists such as The Sweet and Mud and was able to pick out songs from the Stein and Harry back-catalogue. There were however, plenty of contributions from other band members and outsiders, in particular songwriter Jack Lee, who was responsible for the opening classic track 'Hanging On The Telephone' - a cover of a 1976 song by Lee's band 'The Nerves'. Another significant contribution came from prog rock guitarist Robert Fripp who had only recently finished working on the David Bowie 'Heroes' album. His input can be heard on the haunting slow ballad 'Fade Away and Radiate'.
Although Blondie's music is rooted in the New York punk scene of the mid 1970s they became a quintessential part of New Wave music of the late 1970s early 1980s and Parallel Lines defines the moment of that transition. The album might be considered a post-punk album of pop-oriented material infused with an eclectic range of musical genres. The songs very much fit the New Wave genre possessing elements of electronic music, disco, and funk all fuelled with a 60s revamped rock/pop sound. The album can also be linked with the mod/ska revival circa 1979 and this is symbolised by the two-tone album cover. Remnants of punk can be detected in the frantic vocals of the opening track 'Hanging on the Telephone' as well as in the aggressive rock sound of 'One Way or Another', the fast paced 'I'm Gonna love You Too' and the dramatic upbeat eighth track 'Will Anything Happen?'.
Many of the tracks take the form of short and sweet infectious pop songs - the prime example being 'Sunday Girl' with its beguiling melody and Harry's captivating vocal (the title of this review is derived from the lyrics of this song in case you're wondering). Some of the lighter pop compositions incorporate 60s influenced multilayered vocal harmonies - none more so than on the catchy 'Pretty Baby' with its spoken introduction reminiscent of the Shangri-Las. The first use of a reggae beat by the band can be heard on the finale of 'Fade Away and Radiate'. A hint of reggae can also be detected on 'Heart of Glass' - originally a rock song but transformed into what became the classic disco track that has been reissued and remixed much to it's detriment ever since. The original recording remains the best in my opinion with the famous guitar riffs imitating those used by the 70s disco/R&B band Chic and, according to Clem Burke, a drum beat derived from the Bee Gee's groove on "Stayin' Alive" combined with a Kraftwerk-like use of a drum machine. The unique swirling synth sound was down to keyboardist Jimmy Destri who was able to master the relatively new electronic keyboard technology of the period. The instrumental arrangements are enhanced further by Deborah Harry's unforgettable sugar coated vocal.
I'm hard pushed to pinpoint a weakness on this album. The sixth track 'I Know But I Don't Know' is my least favourite and relies more heavily on what I consider to be an American Rock based sound - it's perhaps the nearest to what might be described as 'filler material', but at least it divides what are my two favourite tracks: '11.59' with its frenetic percussion, cheery organ and uplifting liberating lyric, and the addictively tuneful 'Pretty Baby'. Both these tracks along with the beautifully rendered 'Picture This' - one of the less animated and more pop-orientated tracks - exemplify the quality song writing on this album
Parallel Lines was a defining moment in the post-punk New Wave period; its genre-defying timeless appeal and iconic imagery paved the way for many new artists, particularly female singers (I won't mention the obvious), throughout the subsequent decades. For me the tracks on this album still have a freshness and vibrancy that makes them sound contemporary even though they were produced more than thirty years ago.

I bought this album purely on the strength of a dance tune that I heard in a club I danced in as they had sampled some of the vocals and opening bars and the voice was so hauntingly beautiful that I wanted to hear the original.
The song they had sampled was Heart of Glass which has a wonderful almost ghostly quality to the vocals.
Blondie were a very popular band in the late seventies and ealy eighties and were frinted by the blond haired lead singer Debbie Harry. The and hailed from the New York new wave scene.

As well as Heart of Glass I also really like Sunday Girl which has an upbeat tune and slightly dark lyrics and One Way or Another which is a moody brooding song which focuses on gaining revenge on a former lover.
I like the faily simple style of this band and the rich voice that Harry gives to the songs, it feels strange liking something your parents listend to and if it was not for a dance track I would have never heard of them, funny thing is I have no idea who did the dance track indeed it may just have been the club DJ doing the mixing, I never actually asked him.
The sultry, well defined cheek boned face of a young Miss Deborah Harry is probably not difficult to imagine as once the pretty face of a playboy bunny girl. The low but cheeky voice of the female lead of Blondie formed the band with her boyfriend way back in 1974 in New York. After a mixed line up change every so often and a couple of uninteresting singles, they finally hit Britain with Heart Of Glass taken from the album Parallel Lines.
Frank Infante, a guitarist, later rhythm guitarist joined the band in Autumn 1977 after the release of the first Blondie album at Christmas 1976, simply titled, Blondie. It was this album that failed to make the charts although a new song featured was Ripe Her To Shreds, a song that was later made known to growing fans in other albums as well as live sets. Nigel Harrison joined very shortly after Frank in November 1977. It was then that Frank switched to rhythm guitar and Nigel took bass. With Chris Stein, Debbies boyfriend on guitar, Clem Burke on drums and Jimmy Destri on keyboards, the line up was complete and there, they stayed until the bands first split in 1982.
A punk outfit at first with a splash of sixties fizzy pink girlie pop, Miss Harry, a severely bleached throw back to the later years of Marilyn Monroe, she was the perfect punk goddess to stand amongst the moppy haired, young suited and booted boys. Surprisingly American, they had always come across severely British. The cover for Parallel Lines, a design thought from their manager, Peter Leeds and photographed by Edo was to Miss Harrys disgust. She hated the shot and immediately said that it looked flat. It was, however, to become an iconic view of the band. The sharpness of the black and white, bold stripes behind the black suited band and Debbie in a white dress and shoes denoted the new wave feel that the music held within. For 1978, it was design ahead of its time and a style that was soon adapted to the up and coming Ska movement of that time. Blondie, were very much the fore runners for a new type of sound. It is within this album, that the listener can generate the music tastes that were going to happen in the near future. Very much a Blondie album, it experimented with different music genres that were big in the late seventies. The examples of this are, Heart Of Glass, a fusion of disco and glam to suit the diverse vocals of Harry. Hanging On The Telephone is pure Blondie punk, although not their own song, it was originally the product of a band called The Nerves, even so this very immature, sweaty sound of hard thumping, microphone stand shaking new wave might as well have been natural to Blondie as throughout this album, they adapt gracefully to each and every style.
This entirely, timeless classic album is still admired by fellow musicians to day as being one of the most influential and inspiring of the era. Along with its striking sleeve, it contains a small piece about the making of the album and the first meeting with Blondie by album producer Mike Chapman. He recalls in the appraisable and touching account his incredible nervousness on his first encounter with Stein and Harry. Being called in to produce, he had only become a big name from producing glam and glitter rock albums and was not prepared for a futuristic punk rock band with an attitude. He tells of the tensions with the recording, how arguments would occur and yet the genius of the creative writing capabilities between Harrison, Harry and Stein.
With an insight into the stresses of a recording band hard at work and the dramatic force of the cover, we are eager to sample the strengths of the album, and hope not to encounter any weaknesses. We discover there are nine tracks on the album that have been written collaborations between band members. It was an up and fast moving idea to be a songwriter as well as a singer. Since the decade of serial covers that was the sixties, the seventies stole the show by almost everything being original. Having to keep up with the likes of Deep Purple, Led Zep and Clapton who were imaginative to the extreme, a band without the sensitively, multi talented musicians that these other bands had, was a hard job.
Track one, our opening and already mentioned track, Hanging On The Telephone, starts with a phone ringing and Harrys vocal quickly enters before the band has a chance to start playing. Mixing sixties style keyboards, it also uses a bridge of Mersey beat drum and cymbal tapping to give a fundamental British edge. A track that was very of the punk generation. Full bodied and mostly untuneful, it involves a lot of fast lyrics. All in all, I feel the need to dig out my winkle pickers and drain pipes rather than don a pink Mohican. This was in itself, the very idea of new wave. For those of you unfamiliar with this fairly dead genre, it literally was a amalgamation of punk and pop It did take on a different form after the age of Blondie and took hold of The Police, but they became so big that they became a music genre all on their own. For this track, it was a definitive introduction to new wave. It had meaningless lyrics, that could never be so deep they could be analysed to any great length. A noise rush of guitars, none actually playing a tune and a lot of lighter than light drums with very little bass. A track that on the whole, could only have any meaning to the listeners who remembered it the first time around. The new wave sound was short lived and eventually breathed it last fast and frantic puff of life around the early to mid eighties by the likes of Duran Duran, but by this time, it had been so commercially watered down, it had become practically unrecognisable. For Hanging On The Telephone, it took only around five years for this track to sound incredibly dated. Released in mid November 1978, it managed a sturdy number five and stayed around for 12 weeks.
One Way Or Another, and only recently brought to life again by a slimming advert where we are subjected to a handful of girls trying desperately to get into tight jeans puts me in mind to when this track came out anyway. The advert, it would seem was very close the truth. There were millions of girls and guys fighting and sweating hard to get into the tightest jeans possible without causing internal damage. With its grungy guitar riff and basic drum accompliment, its gives a steady background to the catchy, yet simple lyrics of the song, one way or another, Im gonna get ya, Im gonna get ya, get, ya, get ya, get ya . not too hard to pick up, in fact I think it took only two plays of this record to get the lyrics from beginning to end. Again, a pointless new wave lyric and dull, dirty sound of a repeated riff. Totally devoured of meaning and thought, it was the right kind of sound to keep us twiddling our thumbs whilst the punk era drew to a close and the eighties new romanticism began. It was, if you like the perfect bridge, and with snappy, plain records like this to keep us going, there were very few that were likely to complain.
Picture This, was a slower, more tuneful track that calmed the pace down on the track and comes as a little light relief. It enlightened us with backing vocals to give it some thought, and speaking of thought, some had actually gone into the lyrics this time. It has a bubble gum theme, all Cindy dolls and seven inch record players on the floor with a stack of records dropping at the end of each. Its dreamy as far as Blondie could ever dare to be so, but today, it seems flat and un adventurous. Harrys vocal sounds tired, almost as if she cant wait to get the track over and done with. Strangely it reached number twelve over here and hang around for eleven weeks. It was Tracey Ullman before Tracey Ullman started making records
Fade Away And Radiate was written by Harrys other half, Chris Stein. We wonder what on Earth had been on television or put in his tea when he wrote this. With its opening more morgues and depressing than a Celine Dion B side, it reminds me of Stereotype by The Specials, which had not been their finest moment. Like Joan Of Arc being led to the stake, it punctures our ear drums with military drums before we feel the urge to turn it off, Harrys voice sounds like it has had surgery, it comes across as soft and unconvincing. Stein, possibly has a crack at a guitar solo, but thankfully that fades away very quickly. With misbeated drums and wobbly backing, we really rather hope that this track would fade away soon. Robert Fripp guests on this track playing guitar.
We wonder, actually what this genre this was aiming for at the time of writing. It is quite depressing, and even the touch of early UB40 reggae doesnt do enough to lift this track from bad to reasonably better.
The up-tempo and barely optimistic jangle of the guitars at the beginning of Pretty Baby is welcomed after the previous. Again, it struggles to fit into a them when the first two tracks were so strong and able of creating their own cult. This album falls by the way side somewhat. Harry tries her hand at the old style of all girl, sixties Motown where the lead talks a lyric and the backing singers sing it back rather like a Supremes style. This feature is warmly received by the listener, but all we crave for now is the same sit up and listen anthems of the beginning of the album.
I Know But I Dont Know, Is a vocal collaboration between Harry and one of the guys. It is limp to say the least. Both voices, one singing, one talking each verse, it is pure, authentic new wave, I can bet you that, but I feel that this style of boy/girl pop punk lyric was better done by the one hit wonders of the time. There doesnt seem much to be said about this track. Perhaps the title should say it better than me, for the style and the content of music from within, I should just say, I know, but I dont know Perhaps its the howling dog moment by Harry plus another that probably knocked it off the turntable for me..
11.59, is the one and only title for this next track, albeit, numerical. Very rocky and nearer to punk in its opening that the rest of the album. It is dominated in verse by keyboards. The lyrics are clear and reminding me of that timeless classic youll always find me in the kitchen at parties . Blondie, it has to be said, brought us legends of new wave. They were gods (and a goddess) in their own right for a handful of classic pieces of music that will follow one generation to the next, but I feel that the majority, and I will include this highly acclaimed album, was pretty much flat. For a piece of new wave history in our British music industry, it was uneventful, thankfully this is something else we can blame the Americans for
Will Anything Happen, perhaps starts to pick the album and attempt to put it back on its feet again. With a guitar riff not sounding unlike a ripping machine gun, it has punch where the other tracks appeared less than average. Once more we are back to straining our ears for lyrics. It was seem that we have to for go something for the appearance of something else. We lose the lyrics and the music sounds better. This feels although the band have been asleep for the duration so far and suddenly someone has given them a punch (I think Ive said that about another album before!) It finishes before we have had a any time to get into it
Sunday Girl, is one of those tracks that we know and love. Remember me mentioning that Blondie had a handful of classics? Well, this is one of them. It was this track that went straight to number one over here and stayed thirteen weeks in the chart. Jolly, with a pretty drum beat, this is hardly fault able. It has a touch of hand clapping at a off count beat. It is still flat, but tuneful and pleasant to listen to. Harry had such a versatile voice, she sings with a soft, interesting, pink fluffy voice. A track that would probably get on ones nerves after too many plays, but the whole point of new wave was that it didnt require any real musicians of any intelligence. Because punk had been generated by the media for kids to get into easily, in the same vein, new wave had done the same thing, except tone punk down a little and make it sound more acceptable. As with this track, the acceptance is there only the irritation of your mother turning this up on the radio was this tracks only down fall.
Heart Of Glass. Was and still is a disco favourite and will be played somewhere, somehow at a middle aged, drunken party where bank managers dance with their thumbs in the air and wear streamers around their necks anywhere in the world at any time of the day. With is indication of Rod Do you think Im Sexy Stewart drums and twinkle of Donna Summers I Feel Love. Harry was at her sultry, new age Monroe best. On Top Of The Tops, she looked drugged up (and probably was) her eyes sat heavily on those fantastic cheekbones and the whole band came alive with this track. It epitomised the rock glam, glitzy, disco and anything you like mix of everything that could get you up on your feet. Perhaps my only grip is that the nah nah nahs went on too long at the end This record went straight to number one in the UK charts in Jan 1979. It was re issued in July 1995, but failed to go any higher than number 15.
Those of a certain age, will recognise this next track and be surprised at this track actually working for a band like Blondie. Originally a song written for Buddy Holly and also recorded by him (it wasnt a hit, but a track that would crop up from time to time on compilation albums), Im Gonna Love You Too, includes the Hollyisms usually found in his records. The first feature of this is the group ha, ha, ha, ha ,ha, ha, ha, has which is probably a touching tribute from Blondie to the man himself. She tries a little to style the short, quipped lyrics that was Holly. Its a fun track, not to be taken too seriously. Lots of jumping up and down on the spot very quickly wouldnt go a miss when listening to this record. A fairly passable new wave twist to a B side rock and roll song.
Just Go Away, written by Harry alone, its rather middle of the road. Lacking in all that is Blondie, it features the most appalling backing vocals echoing the lead in the chorus. The guys play at being an imitation of The Young Ones backing Cliff, on Living Doll. its a pretty flat song that probably didnt deserve a place on this album. What must be remembered here, that despite the fair pieces of rubbish on this album, this had been marked down in history as a cult album. Simply because it was the epitome of new wave music. Albeit, a very quick wave perhaps a microwave? Bad joke
The digitally remastered album on compact disc features four bonus tracks, (my heart sank.) The first is titled Once I Had A Love (aka The Disco Song) 1978 version, but those with half a brain cell will recognise it as Heart Of Glass. Recorded, according the sleeve note, on the 6th of March 1978 at The Record Plant in New York. Unfortunately, the main thing that listening to this track does is hurl towards the listener that Blondie were lousy at performing life. Particularly a track as this which requires the keyboards, the backing vocals and all the other trimmings to create the full, in your face disco record that it was supposed to be. This terrible live recording is a basic, jingly guitar and drum version without the sparkle. Skip it, its not a version of a classic discotheque track, its something less than that.
Bang A Gong (Get It On) was enough for me to turn off the CD and forget the whole thing. I am a passionate follower of Marc Bolan. I was that generation and we looked up to Bolan as some sort of glitter God. However, Blondies messy version of this Bolan classic is criminal. I was shocked, actually to hear this on the album. Parallel Lines was a historic moment, we understand that. What I dont understand is the want and the need to sling on a handful of dire tracks on the tail end of it to justify its remastering. This track was recorded on the 11th of April 1978 in Boston. Blondie gave this song a grunge theme and far too much thrash that I feel the song never deserved in the first place. The track goes on for too long and the vocals of Harry that dont sound sober come across as amateur and un rehearsed.
Yet another live track follows. Recorded at the Walnut Theatre, PA. This time we hear, I Know But I Dont Know, which, even a little credit here, doesnt sound too bad. I feel the mark of a good track and a good band is to see if they can produce a record live, that is the perfect copy of the studio version. This track, that sounded durgy in the studio, has been given some extra guitar thrashing here and from what I can pick out, Rick Wakeman has sneaked some keyboards in at the back .but I guess he probably had better things to do that day. A track inexcusably thrown against the wall to see if it would bounce off the audience, it sounds just as bad as the studio version
Hanging On The Telephone, sounds even better. I feel that with these last four tracks, they are a journey through the life of Blondie live and that the last track is when they got it right. The vocals, it has to be said re fairly easy, in pitch and note, to be repeated perfectly on stage. New wave lyrics never needed a good strong singing voice, a lot of it was shouted anyhow, so this track is passable without surgery.
That was new wave, a musical stage that passed a lot of us by. Actually what was happening to music after new wave was far more intriguing. It is surprising to learn that Blondie were one of a handful of bands in the world who created so many number ones in such a short space of time. Between Jan 1979 and November 1980, they racked up five in total. Their last number one was with Maria in February 1999 after reforming the band in 1998. A long string of compilation albums were churned out every so often between 1982 and 2003 with also No Exit and The Curse Of Blondie.'
Although weve yet to see anything from the band in the 21st century, we can be safe in the knowledge that we will always have the late seventies new wave movement to fall back on. It is ironic actually, that the historic Blondie and leader of all that came after them, have grown more both musically and performance wise in recent years.
Perhaps the very curse of Blondie was new wave .
Bought at Music Zone around five pounds Feb 2006.

One of the first albums I bought was Parallel Lines by Blondie. Debbie Harry, who fronted the band, burst into our lives in the late 1970's, after the band had formed in 1973. Debbie had attitude and it showed. She was sassy, peroxide blonde and good looking, as well as being THE Lady of Punk. Debbie was involved with Chris Stein, who played guitar in the band and they had formed Blondie together. Parallel Lines is timeless. The songs still sound as fresh today as they did back in the late 70's. This was the third album release from Blondie and can be bought for £10.99 from HMV. The cover of the album shows the band standing against a backdrop of thick black and white lines, hence the title. BAND **** VOCALS: Deborah Harry GUITAR 12 String and E-Bow: Chris Stein PREMIER DRUMS VOCALS: Clement Burke ELECTRONIC KEYBOARDS: Jimmy Destri GUITAR: Frank Infante BASS: Nigel Harrison 1. Hanging on the Telephone (2:22) The song begins with the ringing of a telephone, quickly followed by fast and frenetic drums and crashing of cymbals which carries on throughout the song, The end of the song is a lot faster and as Debbie sings "Hang up and run to me" her voice sounds angrier and angrier. The song is about continually ringing a lover who is choosing to avoid you. "Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I heard your mother now she's going out the door Did she go to work or just go to the store? All those things she said I told you to ignore Oh why can't we talk again?" Rating 7/10 2. One way or another (3:35) This track begins with the guitar, and sounds rather similar to The Undertones, keeping a fast tempo by the guitar and then drums , Debbie comes in, and when she sings "I'll see you around" she sounds like a witch, Debbie talks through the chorus later in the song, and also pr
ovides backing, The chorus has a siren sound effect. The song is about an almost stalker-like obsession. "And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown See who's hangin' out One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya' I'm gonna give you the slip A slip of the lip or another I'm gonna lose ya' I'm gonna trick ya', I'll trick ya'" Rating 8/10 3. Picture This (2:56) Picture This starts with the guitar and drums, before the vocals. It's a slower song and quite soft, but goes on to get angrier in true punk style. The end of song sees Debbie's voice rising to a crescendo with the drums. "I will give you my finest hour The one I spent watching you shower I will give you my finest hour oh yeah All I want is a photo in my wallet A small remembrance of something more solid All I want is a picture of you" Rating 10/10 4. Fade Away and Radiate (4:02) Fade Away and Radiate begins with a single drum beat and sounds very like the beginning of "Vienna" by Ultravox. Debbie's voice starts off being very soft, and then a soft guitar comes in, with echoing guitars throughout. By the second verse, Debbie's voice gets louder, although the instruments do not. A great guitar solo, lots of echo, with drums coming in at end and the song finishes off with the guitar on its own. "Fade away and radiate The beams become my dream My dream is on the screen Fade away and radiate Fade away and radiate" Rating 10/10 5. Pretty Baby (3:18) Pretty Baby starts off with a fast drumbeat and I have to say is slightly reminiscent of The Bay City Rollers once Debbie's vocals come in. The drumming again is fast throughout the song with the cymbals being used to their full potential! The song is about love falling in
love. "Pretty baby you look so heavenly A neo nebula from under the sun Eyes that tell me "incense and peppermints" Your looks are larger than life Long live innocence Petite ingenue I fell in love with you" Rating 7/10 6. I know but I don't know (3:56) This track begins with the synthesizer first on its own, then fast drumbeat and guitar follow on. Debbie's vocals begin but on this song she is accompanied by one of the males in the bed and the song is talked rather than sang. As the song progresses, the singing picks up. A great guitar solo in the middle, followed by a drum solo, with the bass kicking in at the end. "I'm your dog but not your pet Now I know but I don't care Then I know but I don't see Now I see but I don't know I care but I don't care I could but I won't be You can but not with me It's all a mystery" Rating 3/10 7. 11:59 (3:20) The songs begins horrendously fast but in the days of punk this was the done thing! Debbie's voice is very strong in this track but again there are underlying connotations of The Undertones on this track. Another fast song, not one of the best tracks. "Today can last another million years Today could be the end of me It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive Hanging on a frequency burning like a fire Boy you've got the motion down It's getting late I'm tired and I've lost control" Rating 6/10 8. Will Anything Happen? (3:00) An echoing guitar starts this track, followed by a very fast drum beat and accompanying guitar. The vocals then come in. Debbie almost seems to talk and sing at the same time on this track. The end comes with a fading guitar echo. This song is about how people change even though they have said they never will. "You sai
d you'd be through here again Please don't forget I'm here waiting You always said that you would never change Like the people that you've met and the places that you've been And if you do will anything happen?" Rating 7/10 9. Sunday Girl (3:05) This starts with a very short guitar introduction then the vocals come in. A softer song, with Debbie sounding almost angelic. "She can't catch up with the working crowd The weekend mood and she's feeling proud Live in dreams Sunday girl "Baby I would like to go out tonight" "If I go with you my folks'll get uptight" Stay at home Sunday girl" Rating 10/10 10. Heart of Glass (5:50) Who could forget this song and video, which accompanied it which was basically taking the pee out of the disco scene? This was Blondie's first ever worldwide hit The song begins with a sound like a xylophone, then the guitars and drums come crashing in. Debbie's voice is great in this one, and there's quite a few high notes to hit. The ending is great with the men doing "Na na na" bits in the background. I bet they were miffed to have to do that. The song is about love and all the problems it brings. "Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Much o' mistrust Love's gone behind" Rating 10/10 11. I'm gonna love you too (2:06) The vocals start this song, accompanied by the guitars and the drums. Another very fast song but of course this was what the punk era was all about. The style of this is similar to some of the Showaddywaddy tracks but I'm sure Blondie would not thank me for saying it! "I'm gonna do my best to hook ya' after all is said and done I don't c
are what you told me You're gonna say you'll hold me and you're gonna say you love me 'Cause I'm gonna love you too" Rating 9/10 12. Just go away (3:33) The track begins with the guitars, echoing, and the crashing of drums. I have to say this is not a favourite track on the album as Debbie is talking rather than singing. This is another fast track and has the blokes as backing singers, but they do screech a lot and sound a bit like singers in a "Grease" production. "If you talk much louder you could get an award From the federal communications board Don't be cruel Be a thing sweet thing as a rule Don't be sad" Rating 5/10 Picture this, Hanging on the Telephone, Heart of Glass and Sunday Girl were all released a singles and all were big hits. Blondie went on to make other albums, but none had the success of their third album release, Parallel Lines. Debbie made a comeback in 1999, when she released the track "Maria" and a new album, although I don't think she has done anything since. All lyrics copyright the artist
Parallel Lines was released in 1978 and features one of the most striking covers of a Blondie album, Debbie and the five guys standing in front of a bold black and white background, suitably showing off Debbie's famous blonde hair. The quality of this album is very high, it is one of their best in my opinion. However, a general admirer of Blondie's music will probably be better off buying one of their Greatest Hits type albums, as you will always find a couple of 'weird' tracks on their others. Parallel Lines begins with Hanging On The Telephone, which must be one of the most memorable introductions to any song, with the telephone ringing, then Debbie's distinctive vocals : "I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall ..." Brilliant ! One Way Or Another follows and this is much rockier, but still very catchy and another of my favourites. Picture This was also a hit single and another of their gentler songs with beautiful lyrics. There are a couple of weaker tracks, as usual, with Just Go Away being one at the end of the album. But the excellent tracks more than adequately compensate for any weak ones. Sunday Girl and Heart of Glass illustrate this brilliantly - two of the best songs ever written in my opinion. They once again show Blondie's versatility, as Heart of Glass is quite fast and would probably be classed as disco, whereas Sunday Girl is quite a 'cutesy' pop song, with very easy lyrics to learn and sing. I would definitely recommend this album, it is Blondie at their best.
"Parallel Lines" is Blondie at their most commercial - and, unlike with some artists, in the case of Blondie, their 'most commercial' album also happens to be their best, I think. The Blondie 'best of' albums are superb, but you really should have "Parallel Lines" too, or you miss out on some excellent tracks. "Hanging on the telephone" has one of the best beginnings to a song ever (well in the 70s anyway) - the telephone ringing quietly, Debbie Harry sings "I'm in the phone booth?" and Clem Burke kickstarts proceedings with his drums. Of course it was a big hit. This album was produced by Mike Chapman (of glitter pop fame, he worked with bands like Sweet and Mud), and included more other smash hit singles: "Picture this", "Sunday Girl" and Heart of Glass". All of these songs, for me, are timeless pop. "Sunday girl" is my absolute favourite on here, and it contains one of my favourite lyrics ever: "Cold as ice cream and still as sweet". There was also a version released that was sung in French, and sounded so-o-o sexy. Shame they couldn't have added it on here as an extra track, but no matter. "Heart of glass", as the disco song, certainly stands out on this album as something quite different, but it still sounds great, and just seems to belong on here. Elsewhere, there's a fifties girl-group sound to things at times ("I'm gonna love you too"). On "Fade away and radiate" Harry sounds like the acceptable, pop version of Patti Smith, and those guitars are nicely atmospheric. "One way or another" has some laidback vocals from Debbie Harry, delivered with an insinuating air. Also, on "I know but I don't know" they seemed to be trying to be 'punk' (lyrically at any rate), but, even though they were lumped in with the punk / new wave movement, Blondie essent
ially had too much pop knowhow and too many good tunes to belong in that category, and were probably closer to Abba (nothing wrong with that, either!) Whatever, they produced a classic record in "Parallel Lines".
This is an all time classic album from 1978, I can't believe its over 20 years old! Containing the hit singles 'Hanging on the Telephone', 'Picture This', 'Sunday Girl' and 'Heart of Glass' it also includes such gems as '11.59' one of my all time favourites and the Buddy Holly Cover 'I'm gonna Love you Too'. The band had a quality sound and even today it doesn't really sound that dated. Clem Burke has always been one of the best drummers in my opinion, Jimmy Destri used his keyboards cleverly and the Guitars blend perfectly topped off those vocals from Debbie Harry. This album is not really representative of the era as they had a sound of their own. Do yourself a favour, buy it!
An album that boasts the best "A-Side" (the first six songs) of all time! But after a perfect first half, the quality starts to vary a bit during the latter half of it - especially over the last couple of tunes which aren't worth much: an inferior and out of place cover of Buddy Holly's "I'm Gonna Love You Too" and a shouty "Just Go Away". Apart from these, it's virtually a smooth sailing all the way; from an excellent reworking of The Nerves' Power Pop classic "Hanging On The Telephone" to the best disco song in the world (ever!), "Heart Of Glass". Thru it all we get some of the classiest pop songs ever recorded: "Picture This", "One Way Or Another", "Pretty Baby" (written about a very young Brooke Shields) and the unforgettable "11:59" - to name but a few. Oh, and "Sunday Girl" is there too: Cold as ice cream but still as sweet?
This has got to be the best, and most classic Blondie record 9as it was originally) ever. Every track is so well known, that in blondies world tour last year, the fans chanted alot of the sonds word for word! Sunday girl is my personal favourite, but theres so many to choose from, including Call me and hanging on the telphone. This album can compete today, with its solid rock beats, and the way you are carried along by the tracks.
People still think of Blondie as basically a singles band, and they did indeed release a dozen or more classic singles - I might even count last year's 'Maria' in that category. But at the height of their powers in 1978 they also delivered one of the greatest pop albums ever written. PARALLEL LINES is one of those rare albums that contain absolutely no fillers. Every single song on the album is fantastic; 'Picture This' is perhaps their greatest single moment, a marvellously catchy yet moving pop song; 'Heart of Glass' is a brilliant fusion of disco and punk; 'Sunday Girl' a bouncy, but semi-tragic commentary on the cruelty of love ("Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl/Looks like he's in a different world"; '11.59', with its urgent piano and keyboards; 'Hanging on the Telephone'; 'One Way or Another'; 'Will Anything Happen?'; and so on. EVERY SONG great! It's not just the quality of song-writing. The group as a whole play with such verve and emotion that it's hard to see how how musically any track could possibly be any better. And Debbie Harry's vocals are perfectly judged for each song; soft and tender one moment, then harsh and frantic the next. Blondie had new wave pretensions for a time, but by the release of this album they were nothing more substantial than a pop band. But when pop is this good, who cares?

Code: Select All
Is this a leak? Was it released intentionally?
We had always been planning to release gameplay video(s) as part of the social media campaign, and we'd always hinted as such. Unfortunately, we ran into some difficulties while we were wrapping up the build (including several severe FPS drops and crashes) that delayed our plans for the media campaign and any gameplay videos. Once we got those sorted, we started to try to figure out what we could show off; the video that was posted to YouTube was a rough first cut outlining some possible action.
Someone showed someone else something they shouldn't have, and that someone else decided to share that something with the internet. And here we are today. Bottom line is that sooner or later, you were going to see what you saw; that's why we haven't tried to cover everything up or get it taken down. There's no conspiracy, we don't have any ulterior motives.
How old is the build of the game?
The build featured in the video is between four and five weeks old. The art assets, level design, lighting, sound effects and music, voice acting, weapons, gameplay mechanics, etc. are all basically final. You won't be seeing very many changes between what's in the video and what's in the final product.
Is the music actually in-game?
The music in the second half in the video is the actual song from the level, it hasn't been overlaid afterwards. It syncs up well with the action because it's been designed to; the song was specifically written for this area. The audio quality of the YouTube video doesn't do it justice though, and it sounds like the game's music volume was turned up too high while the video was recorded.
Why are there iron-sights in the game?
You can look down the sights of the .357 for a slight zoom and increase in accuracy at the expense of your rate of fire. It was a mechanic that was present in Half-Life: Deathmatch, but we've brought it into the singleplayer to help solidify the weapon's role. We've added an option to the main menu to completely disable that functionality, as a result of the feedback we've received from the video.
The .357 and crossbow are the only weapons that you can use the sights on, and they're for decent gameplay reasons. We aren't casualising or consolifying the mod; you don't have regenerating health, there aren't chest-high walls, you won't get strawberry jam on the screen when you're hurt, etc.
Why does everything look like crap?
The compression YouTube applies has blurred and darkened everything, even at 720p settings. You lose a lot of stuff like the scanlines on the HUD, the stars twinkling in the sky, the moonlight illuminating the launch pad and the hologram illuminating the control bunker, any real texture detail, outdoor characters, etc. I've got the original video at 1080p, and everything looks fine.
Why is the voice acting so bad?
Everything is intentional; the soldiers are meant to sound like over-the-top movie bad guys. We're not interested in trying to get you to empathise with the enemies.
Will this affect the plans for further media or the release?
It has, we're actually going to be moving some things forward. Time has never been on our side.
Code: Select All
EDIT:Raminator made another post with info...
Why was the video taken down?
Like I said yesterday, we were always intending to release a video, and this was an early cut that wasn't meant to be posted. Now that it's been leaked, we're okay with it being on the internet because people were going to see it one way or another anyway. However, we strongly feel that it should be on our own terms; it shouldn't be a way for an unrelated third-party to drum up their own publicity.
Are you going to upload a new one?
I'm planning to re-upload the video to our own YouTube channel in 1080p (which I assume is the same one that has been doing the Sendspace/Dropbox rounds on the forums). There's been some debate within the team about recording an updated version that addresses the feedback we've received, but I can't yet confirm if we'll actually be able to do that.
Will you be taking down re-uploads?
No. The video's all over the internet now, and it isn't in anyone's interests to try and cram this particular genie back into its bottle; it's just not going to happen. Thank you to those who have reported mirrors to me, but from here on out we'll just stick with re-uploading it ourselves and letting any other copies be.
My thoughts: Personally, I think it looks stunning. I've seen a lot of complaining regarding pretty trivial aspects like the .357 ironsights but I really couldn't care about any of it.

Boxing Buzz
According to arrest records, unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder was arrested May 4th in Las Vegas and released on $15,000 bail. The charge: one count of domestic battery by strangulation.
Waldemar Kluch, head of former German boxing powerhouse Universum Box-Promotion, has been arrested on charges of allegedly orchestrating the beating of an unnamed boxing manager according to the Hamburg Abendblatt.
Undefeated jr. welterweight prospect Cletus "The Hebrew Hammer" Seldin (11-0, 9 KOs) is recovering well from surgery on his right shoulder to repair his rotator cuff and labrum.

Seldin will attend the next Star Boxing event, "ROCKIN FIGHTS 8" at The Paramount on Saturday in support of his fellow local boxers. Fans will be able to take photos with him then.

Russian Retail Lending: Hitting A Growth Ceiling?
February 5, 2014
There is still strong upside potential for retail lending, thanks to the mortgage segment, but this potential is unlikely to be realized in the near term.
Click to enlarge the cartoon. Drawing by Alexey Iorsch
While developed economies face the need to deleverage, emerging markets still have the opportunity to grow by taking on more debt. Russia is no exception: government debt is only 10% of GDP, and corporate debt 57% of GDP.
Households' exposure to bank loans is 13% of GDP. That last area would appear, at first glance, to offer huge upside potential, given that retail loan penetration in developed countries is 80% of GDP. It suggests that the Russian population can continue to take on debt in order to finance consumption.
However, the reality is not that rosy. Of the 13% of GDP overall retail lending penetration in Russia, 10 of those percentage points come from consumer loans. In 2003, the figure was a mere 1% of GDP, but thanks to 50% average annual growth over the past decade, the level in Russia is now comparable with that in developed countries. Russia's non-mortgage debt is around 160% of the average monthly salary, in line with the level in developed European countries. To put these figures into plain speech, the Russian consumer-lending market appears to have reached its ceiling.
Indeed, concern for potential overheating on the retail lending market was probably the basis of the Russian Central Bank's introduction of tighter provisioning requirements for unsecured loans last year.
Decelerating growth has caused a deterioration in loan quality. Slower growth hit borrowers that managed their debt positions poorly. A widely cited report from Svyaznoi Bank suggests that 19% of Russian borrowers are servicing at least five loans.
Given continuing income growth in Russia, we at Alfa Bank expect growth in the non-mortgage lending market to stabilize around 25%-30% this year. It is unlikely to accelerate going forward. The main cause for hope is the mortgage market, which equals only 3% of GDP, making it virtually non-existent compared with other countries. Only a little over a million Russians, or a mere 1% of the population, have mortgages, suggesting tremendous growth potential given the 40% penetration in the EU.
However, there are constraints on both the supply and demand sides. Russian banks lack long-term funding, and the complex regulation of the mortgage-lending segment is also an issue.
The conclusion to be drawn from all this is that there is still strong upside potential for retail lending, thanks to the mortgage segment, but this potential is unlikely to be realized in the near term.
Natalia Orlova is the Chief Economist at Alfa Bank in Moscow.

A young woman who died of cancer this week had volunteered with the Breast Cancer Foundation without telling people about her condition.
Jenna Slaven, 27, was farewelled yesterday in Auckland. Despite being gravely ill, Slaven had volunteered for the Breast Cancer Foundation and did not disclose she had the disease.
Adele Gautier of the foundation said Jenna helped during the Pink Star Walk last October. "How wonderful that she gave so much when she was going through so much herself," she said.
Her long-term partner Morgan Sutton-Walsh said he was struggling to come to terms with his loss. "I wake up in the morning and I just feel absolutely lonely even though I am surrounded with family for support," Morgan, 26, said on Friday.
"Then I think about Jenna and remember she had to wake up knowing she was going to die."
Jenna was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago after a girlfriend urged her to have a lump in her left breast checked.
Jenna's father Danny Slaven wants checks to start earlier.

The '''''Mainzelmännchen''''' are WesternAnimation from Germany. They appear in the ZDF (see GermanTVStations) between commercial spots since 1963.
Their name is a punny contraction of the city of Mainz, location of the ZDF's headquarters, with ''Heinzelmännchen'', [[Literature/TheCobblerAndTheElves helpful gnomes]] or brownies from a popular Cologne folk legend.
Since 2003, they also have their own series with 5-minute episodes, called ''Die Mainzels''.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Only in TheSeries, two girls of the same species appeared.
* {{Filler}}: About as much as one can expect of commercial cartoons. Most of the time, they are not even witty or even that interesting, yet obscure, colourful and bouncy, just to keep ''some'' sort of attention.
* FollowTheLeader: Bavaria's ''Bayerischer Rundfunk'' once produced its own commercial spot cartoons, obviously inspired by the ''Mainzelmännnchen'', though it featured cartoon lions (Bavaria's coat-of-arms) instead.
* GermanDialects: They speak Hessian dialect, since they come from Mainz. "Guunaaahmd![[note]]Good Evening![[/note]]"
* SuperDeformed: All the time.
* ThemeNaming: Anton, Berti, Conny, Det, Edi, Fritzchen.
* TheSeries: They were so popular that they got their own series, ''The Mainzels''.
* TheSmartGuy: Det. With glasses, of course.
* TheSpeechless: All of them, mostly. (Not in TheSeries.)
* TheUnintelligible: All of them, on the few occasions they say something.

Benedict Cumberbatch Gossip
Benedict Cumberbatch gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Benedict Sherlock
Benedict Cumberbatch went on Sesame Street and did a math bit with Murray and the Count. It's cute, I guess. I don't have any fond nostalgia for Sesame Street—I only remember watching it at school when it was raining and we couldn't go outside at recess—so I have no real opinion about celebrities going on the show beyond it is a thing that they do and I bet taping a segment with any combination of Sesame Street/Muppets characters is probably loads of fun. Full Story
The Batch is back as Sherlock returns
Kevin Winter/ Getty
Benedict Cumberbatch was enjoying himself at the SAG Awards. I mean that sincerely, no side-eye. Every time I caught a glimpse of him in the audience, he was smiling and laughing, sitting at the 12 Years a Slave table but making time for his August: Osage County co-stars, too. It had to feel nice, being a double nominee as part of the 12 Years and Osage County ensembles—it's a positive footnote to the year that didn't go quite as originally planned Full Story
Bendy & Fassy get down
Todd Williamson/ Invision for FOX Broadcasting Company/ AP Images, Gabriel Olsen/ Getty
Certain corners of the internet have been damp down there after seeing this photo of Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender getting down at the FOX after-party on Sunday night following the Golden Globes celebrating the Best Drama win for 12 Years A Slave. I would be damp if Chiwetel Ejiofor was in the shot. Full Story
How responsible are we, really?
Reader Jackie sent an email this morning about Benedict Cumberbatch that basically boiled down to, "Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be skating along the edge of other people's bad decisions, so when does that become a problem for him?" (Emphasis mine). Her examples: playing a white-washed role in Star Trek Into Darkness (Khan, who, it should be noted, has never been played by an Indian actor), the whole Fifth Estate Full Story
Sherlock doesn't approve
Of John's comedy mustache. It's T-minus forty days until Sherlock series 3 premieres in the US, or, as I like to put it, T-minus twenty-two days until we all pirate it ("The Empty Hearse" is scheduled to air on New Year's Day in the UK). Why do they insist on this window between airings? Do they actually think we're going to wait three whole weeks to learn how Sherlock survived The Fall? Because while John may say he doesn't care how, only why, we, the audience, already know why (to save you, John!). Full Story
The (almost) year of Benedict Cumberbatch
The Hollywood Reporter put Benedict Cumberbatch on the cover a few months ago, declaring him officially part of the A List. Click here to read Sarah's piece at the time. All signs did indeed point, then, to it being the Year of Cumberbatch, especially since The Fifth Estate was about to screen at TIFF and everyone was already talking Oscar. Full Story
Benedict Cumberbatch's lock of hair
Samir Hussein/ Getty
Maybe it's because I've been listening to the words "eat pussy" come out of Rob Ford's mouth all morning but suddenly everything seems brighter, nicer, easier to look at. Seth Meyers is apparently strongly considering making it a sketch on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Full Story
Benedict's box office boo-boo
So we've already discussed today how box office tracking is usually full of sh*t (click here for a refresher), but there is a threshold where it simply doesn't matter how wonky the numbers are—you can't deny when a movie sh*ts the bed. Full Story
Good Morning Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch was on Good Morning America today presumably to promote The Fifth Estate. Julian Assange borrowed from Sinead O'Connor this week and wrote a hissy fit open letter to Cumberbatch about his portrayal. Thanks for the publicity, Julian. Don't you know? Or does he know and that's the point? Too heavy before a long weekend. Full Story
Benedict Cumberbatch: Professional Smart Person
FameFlynetUK /FAMEFLYNET, WENN
He's played real life mathematicians (Stephen Hawking) and imaginary ones (in The Last Enemy), and Very Smart People real and imagined (Julian Assange and Sherlock Holmes), and now The Batch is filming The Imitation Game, a movie about mathematician Alan Turing and his efforts to code-break the Enigma Machine during World War II. Full Story
Welcome to the A-list, Benedict Cumberbatch
If 2011 was The Year of The Fassbender, then 2013 is The Year of The Batch. With a blockbuster (Star Trek Into Darkness), another installment of the popular TV show that made him (Sherlock), and a trio of Oscar-y projects that showcase his talents from period drama to modern leading man (12 Years a Slave, August: Osage County and The Fifth Estate), like him or not, you cannot deny this is Benedict Cumberbatch's year. Full Story

Cops: Homeowner fatally shoots suspected burglar hiding in truck in driveway
By Audrea Huff, OrlandoSentinel.com
11:02 AM EST, November 28, 2009
A homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar this morning who was hiding in his pickup truck in his driveway, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said.
Russell Conrad, 70, fatally shot Steve Hilson, 32, when Hilson, according to the homeowner, approached him in a threatening manner, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.So far, Mr. Conrad is within the law.Conrad was awakened just before 4:30 a.m. by the sound of the horn of his truck, parked in the driveway of his home on County Road 561. Armed with his handgun, Conrad went to investigate. As he walked outside, the horn sounded again, and Conrad realized someone was inside the truck.Warning shots are a BIG no-no. Where did the shot go? In the ground? Up in the air?Conrad fired warning shots and ordered the suspected burglar out of the truck. But the suspect locked himself inside.At this point, Mr. Conrad is back within the law.With his keys, Conrad unlocked the truck, then backed away, again ordering the suspect to come out.According to Florida Statute 776.012 Use of force in defense of person.--That's when Hilson came toward Conrad, who feared for his life and shot the suspected burglar, fatally wounding him, the Sheriff's Office said.IMHO, Mr. Conrad will face no charges on the shooting in self-defense of Mr. Hilson.http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/ind...20012#0776.012
Title XLVI
CRIMES Chapter 776
776.012 Use of force in defense of person.--A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
(2) Under those circumstances permitted pursuant to s. 776.013.
History.--s. 13, ch. 74-383; s. 1188, ch. 97-102; s. 2, ch. 2005-27.
He may have a problem with the discharging of the warning shot, depending upon where and how he did it.

The New England Patriots on Tuesday worked out former Southern California defensive lineman Armond Armstead, a source confirmed.
Armstead, 22, played three seasons for USC, from 2008-2010, starting 17 games and recording 59 tackles. His attorney claims Armstead suffered a heart attack in early 2011, the alleged result of team doctors treating him with the painkiller Toradol. He was not medically cleared to play in 2011, and sued the university in August 2012 for unspecified damages.
Armstead went undrafted in the 2012 NFL draft and later signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL. He led the Argonauts in sacks this past season and was named a CFL all-star. Armstead was released by Toronto on Friday, reportedly to pursue NFL opportunities.
Listed by the CFL at 6-foot-5, 298 pounds, Armstead reportedly drew interest from the Patriots prior to last April's draft, and could be on their radar for a spot on their offseason roster. NFL rules prohibit teams from signing players from CFL rosters within the same season, so Armstead cannot join the Patriots for the playoffs.
Tom E. Curran of Comcast Sports Net first reported the workout.

After realizing they probably knew just as much - if not more - about our changing musical landscape as anyone, Metric released their latest album, Fantasies, themselves. And, of course, it's their most successful album to date, bolstered by massive radio hit "Help, I'm Alive." They're now pretty much the second-most successful band to emerge from the Broken Social Scene collective - doesn't look like anyone's going to knock Feist off the top of that particular mountain anytime soon - and they're playing the WFNX/Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll show this Saturday at City Hall Plaza. That's a free show; we're not sure if we've mentioned that yet. We talked to James Shaw on the phone from the airport in Toronto.
What is it about the new one that you think people are responding to so well?It's a good question. I think that we had a mantra going into the making of the record that there was a slightly abrasive quality about the records that we'd made beforehand in terms of trying to shove what we felt like was the truth in people's faces, demanding people listen to what we were saying sonically and, ever-so-slightly, lyrically. The idea behind the making of this record was more that we would make it like a sonic embrace and allow people in in a more calm way. And then once they decide to listen to what we have to say, the sentiment is exactly the same. The enticement is a little bit different. We called it the sonic hug.
Did you anticipate this kind of reaction at all?I'm not very good at expecting anything. I take what comes. There was hopes for this,a nd I'm happy that it's happening the way we envisioned it happening, but I'm not sure that we expected anything.
