In this episode I share how you can move your business (and personal life) forward by seeking to improve just one degree!
By adopting the attitude that you wont stop until you win you are well on the way to winning. Keep the goal in site and dont let anything stand in the way of your marketing efforts.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have someone like yourself giving such important and useful information especially in regards to pushing for one more degree, sure it's hard but the positives clearly outweight the negatives. Great video too.
You are so right on this going that extra mile pushing yourself one more step is so worth it. I loved reading your posts and then watching them online.
It are always the people who are willing to go that extra mile that will be more successful in life. You have to distinguish yourself and when putting some extra work into your business you do that. Remember that your costumers can always take their business elsewhere and a good relation with your costumers will prevent them from doing that. Going that extra mile for them is a great way to keep them with you.
I agree with Niels, I've seen so many people who still maintain that 9-5 mentality even though they've started their own business. I really don't understand how those people manage to make their business a success without pushing it to the fullest.
O ho ho, you look very cool when you are presenting something. By the way, I think your paths will help me to improve my business. Thanks.
Nice suit Jim , also again a great episode …
Hey there i liked your video and just wanted to take 1 min of my time to say thanks.

I love this show. I never played the board game but I can't imagine that it's not as fun. Based on how well I do trying to play along on television, American, I am not smarter than a 5th grader.

While Yogen Früz was battling for Eskimo Pie, however, profits in its consumer and franchising businesses were being squeezed. In the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 1999, revenues climbed by about a quarter to $112 million, but profit plunged to $3.1 million from $12.9 million. Michael Serruya attributed much of the decline to rising butterfat prices and the company's aggressive discounting. But two quarters later came an outright disaster-a $24.5-million writedown, much of it due to store closures and other problems with some of the franchise chains. The company also posted a $25.8-million loss.
Those results weren't announced until May. Even so, Yogen Früz's annual meeting in February was heated. The share price had sunk to not much more than $1. One shareholder, who claimed to have lost six figures, ripped into Michael Serruya. "I have to tell you, Michael, in this year you have failed. You are no longer the media darling and you [seem]to have lost the confidence of the institutions and mutual fund investors." Serruya ate crow: "We have failed over the past year." To set things right, he announced that he was quitting as co-CEO, but would remain co-chairman. David Stein became Richard Smith's co-CEO, and Aaron Serruya remained as executive vice-president. (Shareholders also approved changing the company name to CoolBrands.)
Smith and Stein, still based in Long Island, now had control of CoolBrands' day-to-day operations as well as most of the overall strategy. The share price continued to sag, to a low of 77 cents in December, 2000. The value of the Serruyas' holding was dissolving just like that of other shareholders. Someone had to step in to halt the decline, and that someone was a family member-Toronto mining billionaire Seymour Schulich, whose daughter had married Simon Serruya, and who'd become a mentor to the brothers. In 2001, with CoolBrands' share price stuck near $1, Schulich bought 7% of the common shares. He rejected suggestions of a bailout, however: "I don't put $3 million on the table to do anything but make money."
He didn't, at first. The share price continued to drift around a buck or two for most of the year. It would only revive after Smith and Stein made some clever deals and product innovations-and after they enjoyed a great deal of luck.
Americans are among the fattest people on Earth, and they're always looking for a new miracle weight-loss solution to that problem. It was fortunate for CoolBrands, then, that the Eskimo Pie acquisition included the rights to the Weight Watchers Smart Ones line of ice cream snacks. It was just five products-or stock keeping units (SKUs), as they are called in the supermarket business-with revenues of merely $18 million (U.S.) a year. But with millions of people enrolled in the Weight Watchers program and buying its food products, there was enormous untapped potential.
And that was before the wave hit: In 2002 and 2003, many more millions of North Americans got caught up in the low-carb Atkins diet craze. CoolBrands was in a sweet spot, in more ways than one. Through the deft use of artificial sweeteners and flavours, the company developed low-cal, low-fat, yet decadent-tasting treats. Slender Pie, a diet version of the Eskimo Pie, was soon outselling the original, even though a six-pack was priced at $4.99 (U.S.), versus $2.99 for the original. By 2003, Smith and Stein had expanded the Smart Ones line to 18 SKUs, which generated $95 million (U.S.) in yearly revenue.
Another hot new product line was almost a fluke. In the summer of 2003, a sharp-eyed CoolBrands sales rep, walking through a Safeway store in California, spotted some two-ounce cups of low-carb ice cream being sold under the Endulge label, owned by Atkins Nutritionals Inc. Stein quickly phoned the company and negotiated a licensing deal for CoolBrands to produce and distribute nine SKUs. Within months, the Atkins line was selling at an annual rate of $60 million (U.S.), according to a company source.
Industry consolidation was also creating a lucrative opening for CoolBrands. Both Nestlé and Unilever were gobbling up rivals: In 2000, even proudly independent hippie entrepreneurs Ben & Jerry's sold out to the Man, in the form of Unilever. And in early 2002, Nestlé, which already owned Häagen-Dazs, announced an agreement to buy Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Inc. for $2.4 billion (U.S.). But U.S. anti-trust regulators objected, prompting the engorged company to sell off some brands.Report Typo/Error

Nugent: "Occupy Wall Street Is Nothing More Than Anti-American Socialism On Parade"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In his October 14 Washington Times column, Ted Nugent derided the Occupy Wall Street protesters as "useful idiots" and "softheaded numskulls," and claimed that the movement is "nothing more than anti-American socialism on parade." From The Washington Times:
Idiots are easily manipulated. They are useful pawns, and that's about it. Consider the stooges of the fledgling movement "Occupy Wall Street." These useful idiots are clamoring for social justice, as if they don't have enough of that already.
From what I can tell, the softheaded numskulls of Occupy Wall Street want investment bankers to give up their wealth, as in "spread the wealth around." They are blaming Wall Street for the sad state of our economic malaise and for all the other problems of the world.
Poster boy for the morbidly obese and natural leader of the hygiene-challenged, uber-lefty America-haters, Michael Moore spoke out in favor of Occupy Wall Street. What he didn't tell the crowd of useful idiots and what they are too stupid to grasp is that he is one of the wealthy individuals whom he and they supposedly despise. I would gladly pay for a first-class, one-way ticket for Mr. Moore to the socialist or Marxist country of his choosing if he promises to stay there.
Occupy Wall Street is nothing more than anti-American socialism on parade.
Occupy Wall Street is empty-headed. Stinky hippies, generational slaves to Fedzilla and the transparent entitled are the problem, not the solution.

Feb. 9, 2012
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan women's track and field head coach James Henry announced the signing of seven student-athletes to National Letters of Intent on Thursday (Feb. 9).
The signees include distance runners Danielle Pfeifer (Cincinnati, Ohio/McAuley) and Taylor Manett (Rockford, Mich./Rockford), sprinters Lily Clifford (East Grand Rapids, Mich./East Grand Rapids), Maya Long (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron) and Emily D'Amico (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates), as well as hurdles Cindy Ofili (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron) and Emily Wee (Frankenmuth, Mich./Frankenmuth).
"Overall, this class is a Michigan class," said Henry. "They are outstanding students and athletes. It is still early, but they could be our best recruiting class since 2006 when we brought in Geena Gall and Tiffany Ofili -- but only time will tell. I am very excited to put together a strong class of substance in those areas."
Danielle Pfeifer • Cincinnati, Ohio • McAuley HS • Mid-Distance
Pfeifer took first in the indoor 800-meter run at the 2011 University of Kentucky High School Invitational with a lifetime best of 2:08.84. As a junior, she finished second in the 800-meter at the OHSAA Division I State Championships. Pfeifer has also run 56.74 in the 400-meter and 4:49.37 in the 1,600-meter.
Associate head coach Mike McGuire on Pfeifer:
"Danielle is a highly accomplished mid-distance runner who will impact our program immediately. I can see her continuing our legacy of outstanding 800- and 1,500-meter runners at Michigan."
Taylor Manett • Rockford, Mich. • Rockford HS • Distance
Manett recorded a runner-up finish at the 2011 Michigan Division I High School Cross Country Championships and was a Foot Locker National finalist. Manett's lifetime best in the 1,600-meters is 4:57.00.
Associate head coach Mike McGuire on Manett:
"Taylor is an outstanding student-athlete who will impact us in cross country and in track from the 1,500-meter up through the 5K immediately. She has made remarkable improvements over the last year and has the potential to be an outstanding collegiate distance runner."
Lily Clifford • East Grand Rapids, Mich. • East Grand Rapids HS • Sprints
Clifford recorded a runner-up finish in the 400-meter dash at the MHSAA Division II outdoor state meet with a lifetime best of 55.99. Her other personal records include 12.36 in the 100-meter dash and 25.62 in the 200-meter dash.
Head coach James Henry on Clifford:
"Lily will add youth and depth to our middle distance sprints area, having a range of 400-800 meters."
Maya Long • Ann Arbor, Mich. • Huron HS • Sprints
Long, along with future Michigan teammate Cindy Ofili, took third in the 4x200-meter relay (1:40.72) for Huron at the MHSAA Division I state meet. She also took second in the 4x400-meter relay (3:50.93) with current Michigan freshman Chinyere Onimo (Ypsilanti, Mich./Huron), running a split of 55.3.
Head coach James Henry on Long:
"Maya will step in and make immediate contributions to the 400-meter and 4x400-meter relay. She has the potential of our 400-meter record holder, Joyce Wilson."
Emily D'Amico • Hoffman, Estates, Ill. • Hoffman Estates • Sprints
D'Amico placed third in the 100-meter dash and fifth in the 200-meter dash at the 2011 IHSA AAA state meet with a lifetime best times of 11.69 and 24.91, respectively.
Head coach James Henry on D'Amico:
"Emily is a legitimate short sprinter who will impact an area that we have been lacking in recent years. She has a range of 60-200 meters and will also contribute in the relays."
Cindy Ofili • Ann Arbor, Mich. • Huron HS • Hurdles
Ofili, along with future Michigan teammate Maya Long, took third in the 4x200-meter relay (1:40.72) for Huron at the 2011 MHSAA Division I outdoor state meet, clocking a lifetime-best split of 25.00. She also took sixth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.24 at the state meet.
Cindy is the younger sister of former Wolverine, Tiffany Ofili (Porter), who was a five-time NCAA champion and holds Michigan records in the indoor 60-meter dash and 60-meter hurdles, as well as the outdoor 100-meter hurdles.
Head coach James Henry on Ofili:
"Cindy has the athletic ability to be an outstanding hurdler. She will also contribute in the short sprints and 4x100-meter relay."
Emily Wee • Frankenmuth, Mich. • Frankenmuth HS • Hurdles
Wee won the 300-meter hurdles, running a lifetime best of 44.15, and was a member of the winning 4x200-meter relay team (1:45.63) at the 2010 MHSAA Division II Track and Field Championships.
Head coach James Henry on Wee:
"Emily is a three-sport high school athlete who I believe will thrive concentrating solely on track at the college level. She will add depth to both hurdles and has the potential to run on both sprint relays."
The seven signees will join a Michigan squad that will lose just six seniors to graduation following the 2012 season.

After the tragic news that his brother is terminally ill, plus the announcement that his ex-wife, Katie Price is Big Brother bound, Peter Andre has declined Channel 5's offer to take part in next year's Celebrity Big Brother, saying that it is simply "not his thing".
We reported at the weekend how Peter, who has two kids by Price, had to call off his UK tour until after Christmas when he was given the heart-breaking news that his older brother, Andrew, had been given days to live following a painful battle with cancer.
This came in the midst of several rumours that Andre, whose new series of ITV2 reality show, My Life, began returned last week, was considering taking part in next year's Celebrity Big Brother.
However, Peter, who met Katie during his time on ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, has now put the rumours to rest, insisting that he has no intention of taking part in the show, and that the only reality project he would consider these days is Strictly Come Dancing:
"I'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing, but it takes up too long a time," he said. "The one I would always be dubious about going on and can't see myself doing.
"But then again you can never say never because I didn't think I'd do I'm A Celebrity – is stuff like Big Brother…
"I don't mean any disrespect to Big Brother, but there are certain shows I just wouldn't feel as comfortable doing."
He added: "I think TV is my future, but nothing can ever come close to me being on stage…
"The person I become, how happy I become, how focused I become – it's all to do with stage, more so than recording an album.
"For me, it's all about the concerts now."
Other stars rumoured to be taking part in next year's show include Frankie Dettori, Peter's ex – Katie Price, Meat Loaf , former MP John Prescott and shamed Justin Lee Collins as well as eccentric X Factor contestant, Rylan Clark, although he has just committed to the X Factor tour which is due to commence at the end of January.

75 Nova Suspension Height problems
I have a 1975 Buick Apollo (which IS a Nova...) and have some slightly wider wheels and tires. I have a small problem with the tires scraping on the fenders with any type of load and going over large bumps. I have ordered larger coils up front which is supposed to lift the front 3-4", as well as new 6 leaf springs for the rear and 2000 lb helpers. I have already made a set of custom rear shackles to raise the rear end some, but haven't recieved the new springs or helpers yet. My question is this... should all of this help keep the car off of the tires? I am also planning on ordering some air shocks for the rear as well. Since this is a street/strip car, I am not worrying too much about ride quality. ANY input on this is greatly appreciated, and you may email me direct at email@example.com if you would like as well. Thanks a lot in advance!
Scott firstname.lastname@example.com
That'll probably do the trick but it would have been a lot cheaper and easier just to buy wheels with the correct offset to put the tires inside the wheelwells where they belong.
As far as your ride is concerned. Don't worry, you'll feel every pebble in the road with the springs you're going to use.
http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com
Thanks for the input... I bought the wheels used, and the last set I had was even larger, and the offset was different, but too far the other way, so it rubbed the fenders and the leaf springs.... I'm really not looking to tub my baby yet... and finally, as far as feeling all the pebbles goes, I already do without all of the new springs, so no problem there... that's what the softer seats are for

on questions of compliance with student-privacy laws.
Michael D. Sessa, executive director of the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council, which
works with vendors and institutions
to hammer out digital standards for
higher-education data, urges open-data advocates to draw a blueprint
before building the house. Instead
of focusing on mere access to data,
he says, stakeholders need to determine what kind of data they want
and what they'll be using it for.
"Can we figure out what's three
steps down the road in this progression?" he asks. "Or do we have to
go through every step every time?"
The heightened interest in open
data is good for higher education,
he says, but start-ups need to do a
better job of proving that students
will benefit from using the companies' products.
ules and textbook information.
"The question of what's the power
of open data is just a lot more fundamental than that," he says.
Even so, he says, there is tremendous promise to be found in partnerships between scrappy, data-focused
enterprises and traditional colleges.
"Institutions that have autonomy
don't change overnight," he says.
"So you start with what's easy, and
then you keep the pressure on to get
to the goal."
ANNOUNCED in January, the "MyData but- ton" is a joint effort by the U.S Education Department and the White House Office of
Science and Technology Policy. It seeks to give students access to their own learning data by encouraging schools, colleges, and software companies
that store student information to make it available
in portable, machine-readable formats. Students
would go online to click on a button to download
their data, which they could plug into applications
created by third-party developers.
For example, students could download their financial-aid award offers and then use comparison-shopping tools to weigh their options at different
The project is just beginning, and it's not yet
clear what kinds of data might eventually be included. Here are a few of the companies that are
taking part in the effort:
Educational Testing Service: standardized-test scores, through a partnership with an online
education company called StraighterLine.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: performance data
from the textbook publisher's platform.
Parchment Inc.: online storage space for education credentials like transcript information.
Pearson Education: learning records and
grade books from its platforms.
—Nick DeSantis
Some administrators
wonder whether using
third-party apps might
lead to violations of
federal student-privacy
In the case of the MyData button being promoted by the Education Department, it's not clear how
many different types of information
will be made available, although the
data will exist in machine-readable,
open formats. Participants will be
required to specify how the exported data are formatted. Because participants are not required to export
data in an identical format, a department official explains, developers
may have to do more work upfront,
but the information will get into students' hands more quickly.
At least one company, Fidelis Education, has committed itself to use
the data students can download from
the Veterans Administration's blue
As an enterprise that helps veterans pursue higher education and
training for civilian careers, Fidelis
plans to use the blue button's mili-tary-service data in the admissions
process to verify that applicants are
who they claim to be. Gunnar Counselman, a co-founder and chief executive of the company, says having
access to an even more robust set of
data about alumni satisfaction and
employment could provide students
with a personalized way to pick colleges that goes beyond rankings.
He's not convinced that such data
will be available anytime soon. But
the emergence of start-ups has had a
"Hawthorne effect" on universities,
he says—they're more open as a result of being observed so intently by
The blue button for health care
was "very useful in that it got the
ball rolling," Mr. Counselman says.
But he would be disappointed if the
type of education data made available were limited to course sched-

Steven Drozd Top Five
Steven Drozd started out as a drummer in his fathers polka band at the age of ten. Little did he know that he merely ten years later would sign a deal with Warner Brothers as part of the multiple grammy winning band Flaming Lips, play with Beck and have his music featured in the Spiderman movies.
Logical Progress Flute (Factory Sound Bank / Combinator Patches / Reed and Pipe)
If you listen to the Flaming Lips' last LP, At War With The Mystics you'll hear the haunting flute sound on "Pompeii Am Gotterdammerung". The best thing about the patch is that you need add nothing to it. It's a creepy M Tron Flute running through mellow reverb and delay. I have to say that discovering this sound kind of inspired me to write that melody that the flute plays. Definitely one of my choicest finds.
Trinity Voices (Factory Sound Bank / NN-XT Sampler Patches / Voice)
The Flaming Lips have just finished and released Wayne Coyne's bizarre film, Christmas On Mars, and I composed a lot of the soundtrack using Reason. The ease of setting up sounds made it possible for me to quickly try to harmonize strings, horns and choir for the cinematic score. There are many things I used but here are a couple that were very effective. You'll hear this in a bunch of spots throughout the score.
HarpGliss Dwn (Orkester Sound Bank / Harp)
A sound that fans ask me about is the harp glissandos that The Lips use so much, especially in the movie. I love it so much because it will play major, minor, major 7th and even diminished harp glissandos at different speeds. Can't get enough of this. Try it with a delay and some reverb and magic will occur!
Raw_MM_Sqr1 (Factory Sound Bank / NN19 Sampler Patches / Synth Raw Elements)
Right now I'm finishing the score for a documentary called "The Heart is a Drum Machine". It is by the guys who did the documentary about Bob Moog a few years ago. The new film should be out in 2009. Again, I used Reason to sketch out ideas and then I ended up liking the sounds. Speaking of Moog, I must've had Bob Moog on the brain because I used this patch so much. For bass, melodies and arpeggios... This sound is all over the soundtrack. The best thing about this patch is its versatility. I like to tweak the filter for different types of brightness and you can really psych it out by messing with the pan destination on the LFO.
Church Organ (Factory Sound Bank / Combinator Patches / Organ)
Something I'm always on the lookout for is organ sounds. The thing is that it's easy to find decent organ sounds. But, it is difficult to find really believable analog sounding organs, at least to my ear. Here's one I use with The Lips and on my own stuff. It reminds me of some Pink Floyd sounds from the Meddle era. Very psychedelic and hymnal sounding.

This week end we went to my mom's sister's ranch. All of us 6 dogs in the truck we had to stop for a potty break in east L .A. My dad was nervouse to let us all out at the same time, but mom said its ok cause we are at a school parking lot with fences all around. We did it quick and hurried back in the truck. two hours later we arrived at the ranch and when she let my son out of the truck he ran away, he got scared of her big dogs and just took off. So everyone had to go find him. After we looked for 45 minutes we came back and thought we lost him for ever. We looked at the door and there he was trying to jump in the door, when mom tryed to pick him up he tryed to bite her on the face cause he was so scared he didnt know it was her. So she put him in his kennel to calm him down. The next day we all went on a hike even the 2 goats went with us. On the way back to the ranch the goat stepped on my foot and I screemed my mom picked my up to make sure I was ok. They had b.b.q ribs for dinner and we each got the left over bones that was a nice treat. In the morning mom found a tick in her head. Luckily she gave all us dogs advantix so we had nothing,how come humans dont put advantix on them? We had alot of exersize on the 5 acres and slept in the car all the way home.
Well lets see. I have to agree with Bullet, I rather sleep in, with mom under the covers. I dont see why Butunz has to wake mom up so earily, just to get a cookie, Its not like were not going to get one. Besides I have to get up evey two hours to feed my four puppies. Butunz always gets her way she is so spoiled.and the way she holds on to her cookie I just want to go over there and steal it when she is not looking, but she is so fast I cant get close to it, any ways I have to check on the little ones, chow, my favorite.Beebee.

Greenwashing Alert: US Mega-Banks Rank Poorly on Sustainability Indicators
Greenwashing is prevalent amongst large US banks. In "Ranking the Banks", a recent report by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and Sustainalytics, seven major US banks were rated on four different indicators relating to sustainability and corporate responsibility. The report ranks the financial institutions and their activities across select "social themes," including their environmental consciousness, their tendencies to follow laws and regulations, and the way they perceived and handled investment risks. The findings of the report do not paint a pretty image of mega-banks like Citi, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase; the highest score amongst the group was 60/100. Would you trust your money with an institution that got a D-?
"Greenwashing," a marketing technique that mega-banks use regularly, refers to the practice of promoting environmentally-friendly initiatives while simultaneously engaging in environmentally-damaging activities. Greenwashing is most evident through mega-banks' investment in large-scale coal operations. While each of the banks examined has publicly stated its concerns about climate change and its commitment to a low carbon economy, a separate report by BankTrack found that since 2005, nearly $223 billion has been invested in the world's top coal mining companies on the part of commercial banks.
Banks like Chase publicly post figures and quotes about their renewable energy investment. "Climate change is an issue of growing importance to our clients and stakeholders around the world… JP Morgan's Energy Investment Group is focused on putting capital to work in US-based renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, and geothermal," their website touts. Despite their stated commitment, the Energy Investment Group has invested a modest $3.2 billion in renewable projects from 2003-2010. According to Banktrack.org, JPM has invested $8.15 billion in coal projects from 2005-2013 – more than double their stake in renewables. This figure is nowhere to be found on Chase's website.
The ICCR and Sustainalytics report rated commercial banks across four key performance indicators (KPIs) drawn from socially responsible investment themes: risk management, responsible lending, executive compensation, and political contributions. Overall, the data presents a very negative picture of mega-banks. There was no apparent link between executive compensation and financial or environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance, though salaries were exorbitant across the board. The report raised considerable concerns about the systematic exclusion of environmental and climatic risks in commercial banks' investment decisions, as well as the use of corporate treasury funds to influence regulations and policy. In short, the majority of large commercial banks are up to the opposite of what you believe they should be doing – even if they're saying otherwise.
Laurence Loubieres of Sustainalytics warns that "Banks play a major role in the way other industries operate." It is essential to recognize the influence the banking industry has over the economy as a whole, and to let mega-banks know that they need to begin considering the long-term dangers of activities like coal mining and buying off politicians. As a consumer, you can take an important step by cutting ties with your mega-bank. Divert your support from unsustainable commercial banks to a community development bank or a local credit union, and take the pledge to stop using your mega-bank's credit card. You can promote responsible, sustainable investment in your community today, and send the message that short-term rewards for a few do not outweigh long-term risks for many.

Ariana Grande
Every year MTV gathers the biggest and brightest musical heroes for their Video Music Awards, and this time around it's going to be a wild ride.
Slated to take place on August 28th, the 33rd annual installment of the shindig will be held at New York City's Madison Square Garden after spending the past three years out on the West Coast.
It's one of the hottest events of the year, and the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival just announced a star-studded lineup.
Slated to run from September 24th to September 25th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the massive gig will feature headliners like Britney Spears, Drake and Ariana Grande.
She may be one of the greatest singers of her generation, but Ariana Grande still doesn't take herself too seriously.
Case in point- the "Problem" hitmaker agreed to a self-effacing Snapchat rendition of her single "Into You" with "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon and it's nothing short of hilarious.
They're both vocal powerhouses in their own right, so when Ariana Grande invited Christina Aguilera to help her sing "Dangerous Woman" last night (May 24) on "The Voice," it was sure to be something special.
The "Problem" hitmaker began with her new single "Into You," complete with plenty of sexy moves and a slew of handsome male backup dancers.
She performed her new single "Into You" at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 22) and now Ariana Grande has a music video to go with it.
The "Bang Bang" babe dropped the clip on Tuesday (May 24), directed by her "Focus" helmswoman Hannah Lux Davis.
Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena was overflowing with celebrities as the 2016 Billboard Music Awards got underway on Sunday evening (May 22).
Hosted by Ciara and Ludacris, the annual event featured performances by Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Madonna and Stevie Wonder, DNCE, Kesha and Ben Folds, Celine Dion, Rihanna, Pink and Ariana Grande.
Her vocal chops are second to none, and Ariana Grande gave her fans a reason to get up early today (May 20) as she performed on "Good Morning America."
The beautiful songbird hit the Central Park stage to celebrate the release of her new album Dangerous Woman, singing the title track as well as a slew of new songs while the audience erupted with applause.
Her music career is on fire, and Ariana Grande has finally found a good guy with whom to enjoy all of her incredible success.
The "Problem" songstress is featured on the front page of Billboard magazine and she can't keep quiet about her romance with backup dancer Ricky Alvarez- "We're happy. I'm a very happy girl. I have a healthy life right now, and I think that's all anyone cares to know. The end."
She certainly knows how to turn up the heat with her sultry vocals and flirty moves, and Ariana Grande sizzles in her new music video for "Let Me Love You."
The "Problem" songstress wears a series of sexy black ensembles throughout the clip, writhing around on a bed and crawling across a couch suggestively.
It's going to be a long hot summer in New York City, and "Good Morning America" just announced their lineup for the 2016 Summer Concert Series.
Kicking things off, Ariana Grande will perform on May 20th followed by Flo Rida on May 27th and Pitbull on June 3rd.

John Oman and His Doctrine of God
Full Product Description
The Scottish theologian John Oman (1860-1939) conceived of God in terms of a personal reality who calls forth - rather than inhibits - freedom, creativity, and responsibility. Although he never wrote a book on God as such, all Oman's thought is based on this conception of God's radically personal nature and gracious - though often challenging - dealing with humanity. This book systematizes the thoughts on God which are scattered throughout Oman's writings, and places Oman in his historical and cultural context of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the picture which emerges, evil and suffering are the result of cosmic independence and human freedom; God's power is revealed not in his ability to override human freedom, but in the patience to deal with its consequences, which include the emergence of moral and physical evil. For Oman, God's face has been revealed most clearly in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, whose gracious dealing with men and women shows God to be both eternal Father and abiding Spirit.
John Oman and His Doctrine of God by Stephen Bevans was published by Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing) in September 2009. The ISBN for John Oman and His Doctrine of God is 9780511520082.

With their sweet harmonies, smooth presentation and a repertoire of sophisticated originals and Tin Pan Alley revivals, The Platters became the most successful vocal group of the 1950s. The irresistible "Only You (And You Alone)", "The Great Pretender" and "Twilight Time", as well as their sublime interpretation of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", crossed over from the rhythm & blues to the top of the pop charts and helped break the colour barrier in the US. Their omnipresence on easy listening stations and on the evocative soundtracks of nostalgic films such as American Graffiti has not dulled the appeal of their worldwide hits, which have been covered by Ringo Starr, Freddie Mercury and Bryan Ferry.
The bass singer Herb Reed was not only the last surviving member of the all-male original quartet, but a mainstay of its most popular incarnation – a quintet whose line-up also comprised Tony Williams, the lead tenor with the near-operatic voice, David Lynch, second tenor, Paul Robi, baritone, and the contralto female vocalist Zola Taylor. Reed also named the group. "The disc-jockeys used to refer to the records as being platters," he recalled in 2010. "We were all individual singers, that's why I came up with the name The Platters. But nobody liked it. The record company and the manager tried to get us to change it. I was emphatic. I wanted to keep it. I'm glad we did," said Reed who, over the last 20 years, spent a reported $1m trying to establish his rights to the name.
With 80 "phony" Platters in operation, some of them remnants of the splinter groups once fronted by long-deceased former members, and others started by "people who were in The Platters for five days", as he claimed, the singer and his legal representatives had their work cut out. However, in 2011, a federal court judge in Nevada granted Reed preferential rights to The Platters name, prompting him to comment: "It's not right to have someone steal your name. We were cheated back then, but that's how things were done then. It's doubly wrong to face it again today. It's theft, and I had to fight so that no other artist faces this."
Reed was born into abject poverty in Kansas City, Missouri in 1928. "I would skip school because I was so hungry," he said. After his parents died, he was raised by relatives. At the age of 15, he moved to Los Angeles when a friend offered him a lift there. He arrived with just three dollars to his name, but found employment at a car wash. He made friends and began singing a cappella on street corners, honing a style that drew as much on gospel as on the emerging vowel-heavy doo-wop sound.
After winning several talent contests in 1953, The Platters made their television debut performing an unlikely swing version of the nursery rhyme "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" on Ebony Showcase Presents, a variety show broadcast on KTTV in the Los Angeles area. Ralph Bass, a producer with a knack for unearthing African-American talent, signed them to the King Records subsidiary Federal, but was quickly edged out by the arranger and songwriter Buck Ram, who became their mentor.
Ram reshuffled the line-up, smoothed out their edges and encouraged them to emulate their antecedents The Mills Brothers and The Ink Spots rather than follow the novelty route of The Drifters and The Robins. "We were going for beautiful tunes with beautiful melodies, a beautiful tenor voice and beautiful harmonies in the background. We stayed with the melody, we didn't do too many tricks," Reed explained.
Though they only scored regional hits on Federal, The Platters were soon earning $150 a night, more than The Penguins, another Los Angeles vocal ensemble who had just topped the R&B charts with "Earth Angel" and also joined Ram's management roster. In 1955, when Mercury expressed an interest in The Penguins, Ram convinced the Chicago label to also take The Platters in a two-for-one deal. Even better, he persuaded Mercury to let The Platters re-record his own composition "Only You", which Federal had shelved. And Ram insisted the group should be promoted across the board like a pop act, not just to the R&B market. His hunch paid off and turned "Only You" into a crossover smash.
According to Reed, Ram was "a total genius when it came to lyrics." He wrote "The Great Pretender", The Platters' follow-up hit, in 30 minutes, masterminded the release of "My Prayer", adapted from a French song, and had a hand in "Twilight Time", which topped the US charts in 1958 and sounded the death knell for the 78rpm disc (98 per cent of the one-and-a-half million copies sold in the US were 45rpm 7" singles).
The Platters may have appeared in both Rock Around the Clock and The Girl Can't Help It, the musical films which capitalised on the new teenage craze in 1956, but they had little in common with Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent or Eddie Cochran. "We weren't recording rock and roll," stressed Reed. Rather, they specialised in easy-on-the-ear material with cross-generational appeal, as exemplified by their gorgeous adaptation of the Jerome Kern/Otto Harbach show tune "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". Indeed, the group attained such a level of popularity that they recorded "Smoke" in Paris during a whirlwind tour of European capitals in the autumn of 1958.
Unfortunately, despite their status as ambassadors of American music, The Platters were still performing to segregated audiences in the South and experienced racism on their travels. In August 1959, the four male members were arrested in a Cincinnati hotel while entertaining four 19-year-old women, three of them white. The morals charges came with a whiff of racism and the judge dismissed the case, but their career nevertheless experienced a dip.
In 1960, Williams quit to go solo, followed by Robi and Taylor two years later. Mercury continued to issue Williams-voiced material and refused to record the new line-up, still featuring Reed and Lynch alongside Sonny Turner (lead tenor), Nate Nelson (of The Flamingos, baritone) and Sandra Dawn. The Platters eventually signed to Musicor in 1966 and enjoyed a brief revival with "I Love You 1000 Times", "With This Ring", "Washed Ashore (On a Lonely Island in the Sea)" and "Sweet, Sweet Lovin'", US-only hits which became northern soul favourites in the UK.
By the time he left the group in 1969, Reed had recorded over 400 tracks, his glorious basso profondo heard at its best on their 1956 hit "You'll Never, Never Know".
"I never thought that it would keep going, and I never wanted to assume we'd keep getting cheques," said the singer, who used his hard-earned cash to buy a house in Los Angeles but later moved to Atlanta and then Arlington, Massachusetts.
The Platters were inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame in 1990.

Thanks to my sister who took me to Thursday of Rally GB, which would have included Shakedown service and SS1 , alas they cancelled shakedown for thursday and held it on wednesday eve. Arrived there at lunch time and the service park which normally (if shakedown had been on in the morning)would have been a hive of activity was pretty quiet, still the weather had faired up kinda was still windy as with gusts up to 50mph !! so wandered the service parks getting the photos i could altho imho access to the top teams was more restricted than the previous year..., got inline early for the autograph/meet the drivers/co-drivers but again chaos ensued with the press and folks jumping the lines etc !! ...the same happened at the starting ceremony before the start of SS1 , next time they should have the press in one area like last year so the spectators can see the drivers etc
anyway on to the photos i took during the thursday:

Family members described Jori Lirette as a smart-aleck who enjoyed cherry lollipops, ice cream and chocolate-chip cookies.
The "devil" came to Thibodaux Sunday, Jesslyn Lirette said, and he did so in the form of the man she was with for 10 years. The devil, she said, took her "angel" away.
Jeremiah Wright, 30, Lirette's live-in boyfriend and the father of their child, 7-year-old Jori Lirette, is accused of killing the boy and dumping his dismembered body outside the West Seventh Street home the three shared.
Jori loved his father more than anything, Lirette said.
"He still killed him," she said. "He killed my baby."
A passing motorist alerted police after spotting the boy's head at the curbside. His body was found in a white trash bag nearby.
Jeremiah Wright, booked on a charge of first-degree murder, is accused of decapitating his son in the kitchen sink with a meat cleaver.
Wright is in the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of a $5 million bond. If convicted, he faces mandatory life in prison and is eligible for the death penalty.
Police said Sunday they could not determine a motive for the killing, but family and friends said tension had been rising between Wright and Jesslyn Lirette for years. Jesslyn Lirette said she had an argument with Wright Saturday night, and those close to her said they had encouraged her to leave him.
"They had been on this rocky road," said Jesslyn's friend Samantha Scioneaux. "I told her 'You have to end this before he kills you.' "
And while Wright acted as one of the boy's caretakers, Jesslyn said she had planned on ending the relationship for some time.
"I didn't get out fast enough," Jesslyn said.
Friends and family of Lirette and Wright said Wright was mentally instable and had told people he was "hearing voices." Those problems may have gone untreated, those close to the family said.
Wright's friend Mark Chatagnier said problems in Wright and Lirette's relationship were exacerbated by Jesslyn's unwillingness to help to care for Jori, who had cerebral palsy and was confined to a wheelchair. Wright was unemployed, Chatagnier said, and was often left home alone with Jori, even when Jesslyn was not working.
"She would take off and totally expect Jerry to do everything," Chatagnier said.
Jesslyn denies those claims, saying she was the sole breadwinner in the family, working as a caretaker for a disabled person, and was still present to care for her son. She also said cries for help, such as a visit from Thibodaux Police last month over a domestic dispute, went unheard and unresolved.
Sunday morning, Jesslyn said she took her pickup to get repaired so she could take her son to the ear doctor Tuesday in New Orleans. Before leaving, she said, she gave her son a kiss.
"That's my routine every morning," Jesslyn said, adding that she now regrets not taking her son with her.
When Jori was born, doctors didn't offer a lot of hope that he would live. The 14-ounce baby arrived three months early and stayed at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans for a year.
Doctors "told her to just pull the plug, and she would always say 'No, that's my baby,' " said Jesslyn's friend, Teri Molaison.
Jesslyn Lirette said when her son was in the hospital, she and her mother would make the hour-long drive daily, sometimes just to see her baby for 15 minutes. For most of Jori's life, he was confined to a wheelchair. His motor function was limited, and forming words was especially difficult. At 7 years old, he was no more than 50 pounds, Jesslyn said.
Family members said he became good at getting people's attention, though, sometimes pulling on someone's arm or banging on a cabinet.
Jori's mother said the boy had been improving over the past two years. Doctor visits were spaced farther apart, and he was able to form words and communicate. His first words were said only in the past of couple years, Jesslyn said. Jori was looking at picture on his aunt's laptop and suddenly uttered "Look." Other words, such as "root beer," followed.
Despite the challenges, Jesslyn said she never felt her son was handicapped.
"I never struggled with my son," Jesslyn said. "He was happy. Everything I could do, I did."
Late Sunday night, Jesslyn's family was gathered at the Thibodaux home of Jesslyn's mother, Delene Himel. Photo albums were taken out, a few retrieved from Jesslyn's home. One photo shows Jori wearing a set of angel wings.
Even at 7 years old, family members described Jori, fondly, as a smart-aleck. He was the one who would make smooching noises and would laugh when somebody was injured on television. He was fed via a tube but still loved cherry lollipops, ice cream and chocolate-chip cookies.
His mental capacity was limited, but Jori always showed affection toward his family and classmates.
"Everybody loved him," Himel said.
West Seventh Street in Thibodaux was dark Sunday night, except for a flickering light coming from a candle placed near the front steps. A stuffed alligator was next to the candle.
Jesslyn said she doesn't know who put the items there but is touched by their presence.
For now, Jesslyn said she is not allowed to go back into her home, though she can't imagine herself living there. Wright was the man she considered marrying at one point, but now she can't fathom starting another family.
Jori, she said, was "her insight, her spirit."
"My child is gone, and I cannot replace him," Jesslyn said. "He didn't deserve to die."

I won't wax poetic about the events of last night. I'll let the news people do the news thing. Plus, Mo Egger already got the job done this morning.
However, I do send out thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims of 9/11 and all those troops whose lives were lost in pursuit of last night's accomplished goal. Incredible courage and bravery. Proud to be an American.
Let's eat...
--- Congratulations to Jason Kelce, who joins the Bearcats factory in Philadelphia. Kelce ended up being selected in the 6th round, No. 191 overall.
PhiladelphiaEagles.com writes about an expectation of repeating the success of former Bearcats Trent Cole and Brent Celek, who currently star for Philly.
Cole was a fifth-round draft pick along with Celek. Kelce went a round later, but has the potential to step in and make a similiar impact. Mike McGlynn is listed as the starter and Nick Cole the backup currently for the Eagles, but Kelce brings a different philosophy. In fact, size-wise, the pick is surprising from Andy Reid and the Eagles. They've made a habit of drafting monsters up front.
Here's their front five including the backup center:
C McGlynn - 315, C Cole 339, G Todd Herremanns 321, T Jason Peters 328, G Max-Jean Giles 358, T Winston Justice 320.
Kelce at about 295 pounds comes in as the quickest lineman in the draft, not exactly fitting the ogre mold of the Eagles. Perhaps that gives him an advantage and role he could fulfill nobody else could. We shall see, but Kelce certainly will be given an opportunity to flourish in Philly. He only needs to consult two of his teammates to know that. Look forward to seeing his development there.
--- The unfortunate flip-side to the draft was Armon Binns and Vidal Hazelton not being selected. Binns sent out this tweet not long after the draft ended:
"This has been the hardest day of my life, my faith is definately bein tested. But I kno God has a plan 4 me so Ima keep fightin"
Feel for Binns, great guy who hoped to hear his name called. I can only imagine watching that final round was excruciating for him.
That said, Adam Schefter broke out an eye-opening stat that should serve as hope for Binns: 23 undrafted free agents were in last year's Pro Bowl. That's not ever, that's last year alone. To think that not being drafted dooms any chance of an NFL career is lunacy.
Here's a list of the top 25 undrafted players of all time from NFL.com. The list includes Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, John Randle, Jeff Saturday, Nate Newton, Brian Waters and Tony Romo.
--- The same message goes out to Vidal Hazelton. He can't seem to catch a break, though, as I've mentioned here before, going undrafted might be a best-case scenario for Hazelton. He now can choose where he thinks would be the best fit for him. He's a huge Falcons fan and despite the drafting of Julio Jones, the Falcons are clearly looking for playmaking options at wide receiver. Sure feels like a nice fit from this seat.
--- Rutgers was the only Big East school without a player drafted. Pitt led the way with five, WVU and UConn each saw four players selected.
Brian Bennett allowed his thoughts on the Big East.
--- Interesting news out of N.C. State. The school released QB Russell Wilson from his scholarship per the quarterback's request.
Remember, UC hosts the Wolfpack in primetime at Nippert Stadium. Wilson terrorized UC last season in a game the Bearcats lost in Carolina, 30-19. Here's his season stats.
His stat line that night: 26 of 40 for 333 yards, 3 TDs, no interceptions, for a 159.9 QB rating. Coach Tom O'Brien loves Mike Glennon, who reportedly took over the starting spot while Wilson played baseball in the Rockies system this spring.
Even so, avenging the defeat feels much more feasible for the Bearcats today.
--- I mentioned this on Friday, but here is more on Xavier signing 7-foot-5, 339-pound behemoth Sim Bhullar. (W/ video)
--- Some randomness...
--- Disturbing but well done piece on ESPN Outside the Lines this weekend about adults gambling on youth football games in South Florida. Crazy.
--- Community begins its two-part paintball extravaganza season finale. Bringing back the paintball episode, one of the great single episodes on TV in the last few years, should be fantastic.
--- Even the Village People can't trust the police.
--- Here's the breakdown of how exactly how the attack on Osama bin Laden was executed. Can't wait to hear the story these guys tell.

Two men and one woman face multiple gun and drug charges after McCracken County detectives arrested them Wednesday night, the sheriff's department said Thursday.
The investigation that led to the arrests began when the sheriff's deputies responded to a property dispute involving a handgun at a residence on Spann Lane in McCracken County. Deputies were met there by a woman who claimed a man named Dallas Woodford Jr., 27, threatened her with a handgun over a property dispute.
In their preliminary investigation, deputies learned Woodford was a convicted felon and unable to possess firearms or ammunition. While speaking to the involved parties at the residence, deputies saw a man later identified as Joseph Fletcher, 22, trying to leave through a window, according to a sheriff's news release.
Fletcher was arrested on an outstanding warrant and taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail. There, according to the sheriff's department, it was discovered that he had a quantity of crystal methamphetamine hidden in his underwear.
Sheriff's department detectives obtained a search warrant for the Spann Lane residence, where they found more than 42 grams of crystal meth, 38 doses of ecstasy, marijuana, digital scales, smoking pipes, a loaded .380 handgun and $1,600.
Detectives arrested Woodford and Joseph Fletcher's 24-year-old sister, Casey Fletcher, who also lived at the Spann Lane residence. According to the department, her 10-month-old child was home at the time and was released to a family member.
Casey Fletcher was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and second degree wanton endangerment. Woodford was charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, firearm-enhanced trafficking in methamphetamine, firearm-enhanced trafficking in ecstasy and firearm-enhanced possession of drug paraphernalia.
Members of the Graves County Sheriff's Department assisted the McCracken County Sheriff's Department during the investigation, and the McCracken department's investigation is ongoing.

Bought this intercooler of a member here. Never installed as I have decided to sell my WRX and hopefully step into an STi. Hence no more need for this piece.
Includes y-pipe.
My work has a UPS/FED EX account so I may be able to get discounted shipping. Possibly free. I'm just trying to get what I paid for this. Nothing more.

I have 21 3 year olds and I fell crazy in love with them on day one!! Not working for nearly 5 years, especially in a school filled with "kid cooties", and maybe 2 years of breastfeeding left my immune system seriously lacking!! I got sick. Fever of 103.2 and I ended up in Urgent Care clinic. While on antibiotics my laptop came down with it's own illness. One day I got the BSOD!! Ya know, the Blue Screen of Death!!!

Since I missed y'all so much I really wanted to share with y'all what's been going on in my world!!
Before all the super sickies started David helped me make these cute Santa's for my class late one night. We had the kids glue cotton balls on Santa's beard. I saved one for Alice and had her make it when she got home from school.
Alice and Daddy put up the tree. Ya know, I never finished our tree or our mantel!! The tree was done enough that Alice loved it, but the box of ornaments I had bought in a the new scheme still hasn't been open! Well, I'm ready for next year right!?
Alice got a glasses!! She only needs to wear them for study time at school and home and while reading.

Someone was so happy she got a Dream Lights!!
Happy girl!
Now that all her cousins are over it's time for the kids gift exchange!

We also had a tamale making party one night! It was ALL of our first times making them!
Tonight, we actually had some fun outside with fireworks!

23.05.13 Tour de force
The two EPs Matti T has released on Siko Records are among the best releases we've put out, and his debut album doesn't let one down. First & Last is a giant thirtythree-minute track that makes me think of Demdike Stare or Kreng here and there - and that's a huge, huuuge, recommendation!
02.01.13 Thrilled
Hey, here's a nice way to start the year: More Conscientious Behavior by Coldsleepyhead. It's an fifteen-minute escape from the dull everyday life by means of lo-fi shoegaze pop.
27.10.12 The very essence of psychedelia
What would psychedelic rock sound, if the "rock" was removed completely? If there were no guitar fuzz, no vocals soaked in reverb with trippy lyrics or not even drums? One answer to this question is Acid Attack by S.Ahola.
25.05.12 Still distracted
Last year, Matti T released his debut Distraction EP. He's going on with the theme by releasing Distracted Mind EP. It's a finely crafted set of soothing and crackling tunes. And what's more, it includes a killer remix from Folkhälsan (who should put out a new release, too, if you ask us).
30.03.12 We'll make your skull whirr
Noisy, drony sound collages, that's what Weathered by Roman Catholic Skulls is about, and we're pretty damn proud to have the opportunity to release it.
28.01.12 Free AER20-200 for everyone!
Now, don't take this as a suggestion to not buy the glorious white 12" vinyl EP, but Glycosaminoglycan Sulodexide by AER20-200 is now available as a free download.
25.10.11 A lush batch of sounds to sink your head in
New release, Distraction EP, from a new Siko artist, Matti T, is out today. It will make you sleep, in a good way.
02.07.11 Californian apocalypse
Corroded Master is the latest offspring of the ever-growing Siko family. His evil sounds makes me think he might be a problem child. I dare you to listen to Flesh of God.
27.12.10 Anger, chapter two
Like this world wasn't already vile enough a place, Turkka have decided to put out a live recording. Lohja EP was recorded last August at Sikofest. No, listening to the record doesn't make up for your absence from the actual event, but if you were there, you can cherish the moments of pain you went through with the rest of the audience (all of whom are listed on the CD inlay).
There is also a very limited vinyl pressing of both Supertaide EP and Lohja EP, but I'm not sure it's possible for you to get any of those. E-mail us if you're interested, and we'll see what we can do.
16.12.10 A vinyl, a fucking white vinyl!
Okay, this is just ridiculously cool, awesome, wicked, or whatever the kids say these days. AER20-200 has made a stunningly good four-track EP Glycosaminoglycan Sulodexide, and it is packed in a super-mega-luxus laser-cut cardboard sleeve and pressed on a white 12" vinyl. And somehow Siko Records got the chance to release this spectacle! Sorry, but no free downloads this time. Preview and place your order here.
29.11.10 Sounds of youth
Two new releases: Talkoot by Folkhälsan (almost 26 years of age) and 1 by QR (almost one year of age).
On Talkoot, Folkhälsan takes a step further from glitch to the recent bass music from UK. We'd call it UK funky, if his origins didn't clash with the genre tag. SF funky?
QR has recorded a ten-minute set of jazzy improv. What did you do at his age? Not recordings, I suspect.
10.11.10 There will be more
No, we haven't been on a hiatus, it's just that we've been lazy when it comes to updating the website. Siko Records released three comics a couple of months ago: Akhilleus Raato and Suomen kaunein mies by Tuomas Kärkkäinen and nafta 1 by Antti Kangas.
We also held a festival last summer. Sikofest consisted of three days of live music (and live "music") with performances from many Siko artists. Expect a DVD soonish.
In addition to the DVD, we'll put out a couple of other releases before the end of the year, if everything goes as planned.
07.01.10 A suggestion
Follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook. Or don't, it's up to you really.
29.12.09 What's inside of you and me
Yes, new album again. This time it's the full-length debut from Arka. Naamio is a thirty-minute-long exhibition of the most primitive aspects of human nature, including rage, fear and indifference. Musically, Arka has taken a leap forward from Uni-EP's somewhat homespun soundscapes, but hasn't lost their fragile sincerity nor their adventurous point of view that keeps the music ever-engaging. I mean, like, do listen to it.
25.12.09 Two new releases
For one reason or another, virtually no records are released today. We don't know what's behind this phenomenon, but we decided to put out not one but two releases to fill in the gap.
Sækkler auv fæstsjungst is the debut album by Holgeir, the weird arse beatboxer who used to be in The Organdicks. The CD-r version comes with a hand-embroidered bag to cover the hand-printed lino cut artwork. The item is highly collectable, but of course you can download the music for free, if you don't need the crap around it.
Supertaide EP by Turkka is possibly the very best thing we've put out so far: twentyseven fusion-tinted hardcore punk bursts in a little less than twelve minutes. Phew. As always, there is a limited edition of CD-r's available and an unlimited edition of free downloands. The physical copy includes lyrics for all of the tracks, as well as some pretty nifty artwork.
07.09.09 The collaboration of the year
Stalemar asked if Perculators would like to make a collaborative track. They did, ending up with eight of them. You are not wrong for the time being by Stalemar & Perculators is a delightful EP of noisy nonsense no-rock. That's a genre, you know.
30.07.09 Fixed a glitch with the glitch album
Folkhälsan's eponymous debut album got a bad start as the mp3 files were broken. They're fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
24.07.09 Contemporary, baby
Dubstep is arguably the electronic sound of this decade. The scene or genre has proven to be prolific and subject to constant variation. Folkhälsan touches dubstep here and there on their self-titled new album. Most of the tracks stray off dubstep, though, into the world of minimalist glitch.
"Essential purchase" as they say in Boomkat. But of course you can just download it for free, if you don't feel like buying the CD-r.
24.05.09 Join the party! (Sorry for the tacky heading)
Do you people really like the kind of stuff you find on this website? The buzzing, the clinking and the ringing?
If you can give yourself a permission to listen to non-avantgarde music, you should check out Party by The New Soviet. It's an EP of four catchy (indie) rock tunes and not that hard to listen to.
09.05.09 Blues Blues Blues Carnage put out a record
Blues Blues Blues Carnage started working on their album five years ago. Now it is done. Those of you who have listened to the two tracks on the recent Sikotauti compilation know what it's all about: something like ambient but not quite. We like to call it punk ambient (well, no we don't actually, I just made that up).
Go listen to the album and if you happen to like it, do consider surprising us by ordering a CD-r version of it. It comes with fancy Holga photography. (Can Holga ever be fancy?)
Blues Blues Blues Carnage: Sleepglue
27.04.09 Spice!
The debut album by Spice Girls is arguably the most important album of the last twenty years. A splendid internet community Apskaft has put their heads together to pay tribute to this unbelievable recording. The result is an album where the members of Apskaft cover every track of Spice and two other tracks as well. The most interesting cover Siko-wise is Something Kinda Funny by Drn Drn, because of the band being comprised of some of the Siko people you already know (kind of).
Listen to Apskaft Presents: Spice
14.03.09 Pet Ulcer's Teenage Bladder is out
We've got this new artist who has put out an album full of noise (or soft noise as he likes to call it). It's a bit like an easy-listening version of Merzbow.
We were supposed to release the album yesterday, on Friday the 13th, but we forgot to do it. So, it's out now, even though the release date isn't that gloomy.
14.02.09 Perculators release their Siko debut
We have released twenty minutes of Japanese lofi-avant-noise-blues-rock by Perculators. The EP is the first release outside of Japan from this reckless duo. It is bound to break your eardrums.
There are a couple of CD-r's available with pretty amazing photography. Of course, you can download it for free as well.
We would like to emphasize that the EP was released yesterday, Friday the 13th. Oo, gloomy.
Perculators: Autoerotic fatalities with power hydraulics
01.02.09 Siko Records is re-animated
After a long pause, we are now back in the internet. From now on, Siko Records is primarily a netlabel. We will release most of our music as free downloads along with limited CD-r versions.
We have released two albums since we woke up again. The long-awaited compilation Sikotauti has been out since last July. It includes twenty previously unreleased tracks from a diverse batch of artists. The CD-r release comes with a fancy 40-page booklet. Casual Street Band have also released their third album, Monday Meeting, but we have heard it only once so far.
See Releases to download these albums or contact us, if you want to buy Sikotauti. To get a physical copy of Monday Meeting, you'll have to contact the band, I'm afraid.
