The Best Experimental Music of 2010
It's not that more experimental-type music was made in 2010. It's just that more of it was getting heard.
With December here and a full year in the rear-view mirror, it is not a stretch to say that 2010 was quite possibly the best year to date for the experimental music community. While it's certain that random people, whether isolated or in groups, have been churning out weird, indefinable, experimental sounds for as long as audio recording has been possible, 2010 undeniably saw what must have been record volumes of weird, indefinable, experimental sounds circulating freely within the population at large.
It's not that more experimental-type music was made in 2010; however, it's just that more of it was getting heard. Even the grey lady of music blogs, Pitchfork, felt compelled to organize a new blog collective in order to focus on the divergent strands that were swelling up from the underground. Those behind these sounds were often faceless people who, despite their utilization of an endless variation of technological arrangements and recording methods, shared a common philosophical ethos that was far outside, if not in direct opposition to, anything remotely resembling the conventional musical mainstream.
Naysayers will try to argue that the intersection of two trends, the proliferation of cheap musical technology and the demise of traditional musical education (whether from cuts to music funding in our schools or short attention spans not jiving with piano practice) has lead to the sudden swell of "experimental" music.
"Experimental", in other words is a dressed-up synonym for "sloppy", these critics would sneer.
These critics would also argue that what we really witnessed in 2010 was a modern musical re-enactment of the barbarians at the gates. The traditional filters that have prevented the influx of obtuse, anti-social noodling, or low-quality, barbaric attic noise, or drawn out, brain-dead "soundscapes" from entering the broader musical discourse have decayed or been overwhelmed.
A recent episode of The Office parodied this situation perfectly when, following a Glee viewing party at Gabe's apartment, the geeky, impossible-to-like host reveals that he is a bedroom producer and makes "soundscapes", which he ridiculously describes as "one instant of a song expanded to the size of the universe!" At the end of the episode, Gabe serenades Andy with his mini-synthesizer "soundscapes" in the bathroom while the a capella singer and musical theater performer is hunched over toilet, incoherent and puking. Andy, who is stoned from ingesting a large quantity of powdered seahorse, drunkenly approves of Gabe's New Age/trance synth sounds despite his normally cold demeanor toward the lanky rival.
Bedroom-producer caricatures aside, this Office episode accurately hints at the massive unseen army of people who, similar to Gabe, are hard at work in their homes and in their makeshift studios on musical visions that might be hard to understand for Gleeks or people who, like Andy, are schooled within and loyal to the traditional/popular forms of music. Unless they ingest large amounts of powdered seahorse that is.
An accurate depiction of 2010 in regards to experimental music, however, won't emerge from the storylines in a sitcom. The truth is that it won't really emerge from the best-of, year-end list below, either. The truth emerges only when you can hear the releases that didn't make the list. The sheer amount of quality music made within the experimental ethos this past year is downright staggering.
And while more and more indie and pop music is built upon "clever" referencing of past fashion trends, music made in the experimental ethos, for the most part, seems to avoid the problem of tainting its creations with reference points that contain ever shortening expiration dates. And this has been true for some time. You will not find yourself cringing when listening to a favorite experimental album from three years ago the same way you probably will with a lot of trendy indie records from that time. Remember chillwave's predecessor electro-clash?
Regardless, taking shots at more conventional music is not my aim here, nor is it to define experimental music, which has always been a dicey enough task even for the most ambitious within the ranks of the genre police. Instead, let's settle on highlighting ten noteworthy releases from the world of experimental sound. So here are ten good ones that, if you have heard, you probably will agree with, and if you haven't heard, perhaps you should hear in the interest of understanding just what went down in 2010.

David Toop
Sinister Resonances
David Toop has doubled as both a writer and a musician of note for some time now. With the release of his new book, Sinster Resonance: The Mediumship of the Reader, the Haunted Weather author has found an ingenious way to meld his literary prose with his musical vision in the form of a promotional vehicle for the new book. The Sinister Resonance podcast, which The Wire made available for free, presents Toop reading passages from his new book accompanied by self-designed soundscapes that magnify the utter creepiness of Toop's hushed British accent as he probes the history of mythology and "silent art" for its veiled aural narrative.
No information is available as to what makes up the accompanying soundscape, which would function more than fine on its own as a stand-alone piece, but it seems to be a mix of disparate sounding pieces with perhaps a healthy dose of Toop's personal treatments and own material thrown in. Regardless, the mixing is seamless and Toop's voice is all the more hypnotic when surrounded by this disorienting and disturbing score.
While the piece is no doubt an imaginative marketing ploy to get you to buy Toop's book, the author presents his insights and ideas from his book here in a stunning manner. Their sonic, as opposed to literary, impact dictates that the Sinister Resonance podcast must not be considered merely an accompaniment to the book published by Continuum. Instead, like the 2-CD set that was created alongside his 2004 book Haunted Weather: Music, Science, and Memory, this piece stands on its own as an experience in itself bordering the line between literature and sound art.

Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Oneohtrix Point Never
Indie's under-the-table footsie game with the experimental world, which turned into a full-on, on-the-couch foot rub after Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion blew the indie world away last year, has led to the emergence of several artists who make experimental music, but are associated more with the indie world. There isn't necessarily a distinction in quality or credibility between these sorts of experimental artists and the less buzz-based undergrounders, it's just a matter of what circles they run in and what blogs they consistently appear on.
What does distinguish them, and perhaps explains the indie world's reason for gravitating toward them, is that these artists tend to apply similar tactics to chillwave artists and electroclash acts before them. In other words, a fundamental ingredient to their aural aesthetic is a particular "historical" reference. Emeralds and Oneohtrix Point Never (who both had their albums put out by Editions Mego) are just those types of artists. Both artists begin their musical journeys from a distinct historical starting point in the timeline of experimental electronic music.
Emeralds' Does It Look Like I'm Here? draws heavily from the minimalist tradition of Terry Riley's In C, along with the towering structures of 1980s synthesizer music. Throw in a healthy dose of droning filter sweeps, softly shredding guitar solos that pan around in the background, and you have a potent, neo-stoner album that appeals to the more intellectual fans of Animal Collective.
Oneohtrix Point Never's Returnal was a definitive statement for an artist with a very clear aesthetic vision who had been working at his sound for some time. After dropping Rifts, a collection of OPN's earlier, lesser-heard and hard-to-find material, Returnal was released and served as a sort of stark exclamation point to the sound OPN's Daniel Lopatin has been building for the past few years. By using bare-boned instrumentation that consisted of nothing more than naked analog synthesizer sounds coupled with an array of effects, Returnal conveys a deeply compelling and magical version of experimental electronic music.
Album: 1-Bit Symphony

Tristan Perich
1-Bit Symphony
Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony should call into question ever getting obsessed over finding an ultra limited vinyl, cassette, or CD-R again. After all, those are only copies. 1-Bit Symphony, on the other hand, is a not a recording for you to listen to. This release, which comes in a CD jewel case and is described as "juxtaposing the grand form of a classical symphony with the minimal nature of 1-bit circuitry," actually "performs" its music live when turned on. How many of those 7" singles you got on Record Store Day can do that?
It can perform, instead of play, because 1-Bit Symphony is a complete electronic circuit -- programmed by the artist and assembled by hand -- and you can hear the circuit perform though a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. According to Perich's website, "1-Bit Symphony utilizes on and off electrical pulses, synthesized by assembly code and routed from microchip to speaker, to manifest data as sound. The device treats electricity as a sonic medium, making an intimate connection between the materiality of hardware and the abstract logic of software." Checking out the video below can help clarify what all that means for the non-technologically inclined.
Holding 1-Bit Symphony in your hand and hearing the incredibly complex score come to life via such a simple construction is a bit dumbfounding. Furthermore, feeling the circuits pulsating in your hand as the five movements are generated right there in front of you before they rush up into your headphones is a completely different experience from what most music listeners are used to. But Perich's album is not included on this list simply because of its internal construction. While all that is really interesting, the music itself is unbelievable as well.

Keith Fullerton Whitman
Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness
Both sides of Keith Fullerton Whitman's Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness are an expression of blissful electronic excess and an example of the complex technological experiments currently underway in the world of underground electronic music.
"Disingenuity" and "Disingenuousness" are both constructed from an approach that marries the sound deconstruction of Musique Concréte with the improvisational feel of a free jazz solo done on Whitman's Doepfer Hybrid Modular Synth. These recordings originated from a single hour-long improvisation on which Whitman used a tape of random field recordings as source material that was then run through a number of complicated electronic filtering processes. The end result is a bewildering composition comprised of minimal analog synthesizer sounds that are then panned, filtered, and modulated to such a dizzying degree that listener can't possibly hear either of these sides the same way twice. They are just too dense, despite their minimal sound sources.
The importance of the recording, and the reason for its inclusion on this list, is that it establishes a historical link with the classics of experimental electronic music of Pierre Henry and Bernard Parmegiani, among others. Whitman has long been a modern champion of their heady, intellectual approach that utilized sound and music to bring together philosophy, science, and art. Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness confirms that he is a composer of the same rank.

Alabama Counties: Baldwin County
Click-on the map to get a detailed image of the county
Provided by Alabama Maps
Baldwin County was created by the Mississippi Territorial legislature on 1809 Dec. 21, from territory taken from Washington County. Its size was altered several times before 1868, when it received its present dimensions. Baldwin County lies in the southwestern part of the state. It is bounded on the north by Clarke and Monroe Counties, on the east by Escambia County, AL, and Escambia County, FL, on the west by Clarke, Washington, and Mobile counties, and Mobile Bay, and on the south by the Gulf of Mexico. Baldwin County encompasses 1,590 square miles. It was named for Abraham Baldwin, a distinguished citizen of Georgia. MacIntosh Bluff, Blakeley, and Daphne each served for a time as county seat before 1901, when Bay Minette was so designated.
Other towns and communities include: Bon Secour, Elberta, Fairhope, Foley, Lillian, Loxley, Perdido Beach, Point Clear, Robertsdale, Summerdale, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.

Permanent Link not working...again.
I've seen this problem several times where I click on the Arrow icon, then select "Permanent Link", and nothing happens. It's doing it again today. I guess it's not a major thing, but I'm trying to do my Weekly Review this morning and some parts of it I can't do, or at least not easily, without using a Permanent Link. I'd really like to see this fixed.
Am using WinXP SP3, Chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 m.
I tried it in IE8, and it worked fine on the first try, but not again.
I closed Chrome completely, then reopened, and the Permanent Link feature worked on the first try, but not again. So with 2 different browsers, I can do one Permanent Link, but no more, until I close and reopen the browser.
This message was edited Jan 07, 2013.

It seems that the permanent link will not work if you are on the search page. We will look into this.
Thanks for your reply.
Interesting, because that's where I was when I did all my testing yesterday. So it does work from the Search page sometimes.
I'm having this problem again. I've played with it a bit. I have a Saved Search called "Meetings". Some of my projects are tagged meetings for obvious reasons. This saved search gives me a view of all of them. But something is very strange because one meeting, only one, as far as I can tell, sometimes won't accept a permanent link command. It appears to be an intermittent problem, comes and goes, and I don't know why that would be. All the others work, every time I've tested them. But I have had this happen before, with different ones.
I just went through my Saved Search for Active Projects, essentially the same thing as Meetings except for the special tag. They all do Permanent Link just fine.
Just thought I'd give you some more information on this.

Postcards: Newfoundland
"So this is your chance to share any of your black and white postcards, or colour postcards featuring white (think white sands and snow, White Cliffs of Dover etc.). As always, feel free to play with the theme. Do you have postcards depicting places that incorporate the word white (or bianco, blanc etc.)? How about a play on words (e.g. white elephant, it`s not black & white?) You've pretty well got carte blanche!"
I've always collected postcards. Their professional photography plays a large part to fill in my own amateur camera attempts, and trigger my memories of places I've been. They also represent faraway or intriguing places my friends have visited. This is my first time "playing" in this Festival and I found one of my favourites. It's black and white, so it fits the criteria.
Caption on reverse:
"Submerged house being towed by a schooner. In November, 1929, a major tidal wave struck Newfoundland's south coast, resulting in extensive property damage and the loss of more than twenty lives."
– Produced and distributed by M & B Postcards, (709) 745-1908
– Photo courtesy of the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador (reference PANL A2-149)
The postcard was mailed from Rocky Harbour NL on 7 August 2007 by my travelling daughter. A magnificent photograph that speaks to isolated communities and family salvage.

As a sort of introductory app to windows applications in C++, I've written a short program that displays a few messageboxes, and plays around with the buttons in them (OK, OKCANCEL, etc).
It works beautifully in Windows 2000. However, it silently fails (i.e. no error messages) in XP and I'm not sure why that is. I use both OSes, so I want to be able to run the app in both of them.
Here's the important part of the code: (I've removed a few things from the code, but trust me I didn't omit anything pertinent)
Is there something in that code that's win2k specific? Is it to do with the OS it was compiled on? Ideally I'd like some code that runs the same on both OSes, but if I have to, I'll settle with compiling a seperate version for each.Code://sorry for the immature variable/window naming :P #include <windows.h> int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { int lol = MessageBox (NULL, "This is a message box", "OMG", MB_OKCANCEL); if (lol == 2) //if user clicked cancel return 0; MessageBox (NULL, "Why did you select cancel?", "ERROR", 0 + 48); return 0; }
Any help is appreciated!

Will tickets sell out?
The majority of GABS sessions will sell out. If in doubt, best to purchase your ticket as early as possible.

GABS reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone unable to prove their age. No refunds will be provided in this occurrence.
When do the bars close?
All bars serving alcohol will close 15 minutes before the advertised closing time of each GABS session.
What sort of behaviour is unacceptable?
If anyone thinks GABS is a swillathon, they will only be disappointed.

Contact Lenses After Trabeculectomy
With proper patient selection and education, these patients can be successful lens wearers.
By Gregory W. DeNaeyer, OD, FAAO
Dr. DeNaeyer is the clinical director for Arena Eye Surgeons in Columbus, Ohio. His primary interests include specialty contact lenses. He is also a consultant or advisor to MedLens Innovations, Inc. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that potentially leads to blindness when not detected and treated. It is estimated that glaucoma is responsible for 15 percent of blindness worldwide, making it the third leading cause of blindness (AAOph, Basic & Clinical Science, Glaucoma Course, 2007). Twenty-first century technology is allowing for earlier detection and improved treatment options.
Trabeculectomy is a surgical option for some glaucoma patients when medical management has failed. However, the introduction of a conjunctival bleb can cause difficulties for those patients who want or need contact lenses postoperatively. This article will discuss the use of contact lenses for post-trabeculectomy patients who want or need lenses to correct for ametropia or to mask surface irregularity. We will also discuss how to use contact lenses as a medical management tool to treat a leaking bleb.
Options After Surgery
Incisional surgery for open-angle glaucoma is usually indicated for treatment when medical and laser surgery management has become inadequate or the patient is intolerant or noncompliant with medications (AAOph, Basic & Clinical Science, Glaucoma Course, 2007). This protocol has been supported by the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS) (Singh, 2004).
Trabeculectomy is a type of filtering procedure that creates a pathway for aqueous to drain from the anterior chamber through a flap in the sclera and into the subconjunctival space, where it is later absorbed. As fluid builds up it creates a dome of con-junctival tissue referred to as a bleb (Figure 1). Antifibrotic agents, such as 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Mitomycin C (MMC), are frequently used before and after surgery to prevent scarring and secondary failure of the filter.
Figure 1. Bleb with underlying scleral flap.
Patients who have undergone trabeculectomy may want contact lenses postoperatively because they had them before the surgery or they may need them because of aphakia or corneal irregularity. The resultant bleb is the primary concern when evaluating these patients for contact lenses.
The prevailing thought used to be that it was unsafe to fit patients who have blebs, as mechanical injury from the contact lens could lead to blebitis or endophthalmitis. In 1981, Bellows and McCully reported four patients who had unplanned filtering blebs following cataract surgery developing endophthalmitis after being fit with contact lenses. Three patients were wearing "hard" contact lenses and one was wearing soft lenses. However, more recently, evidence has surfaced that contact lens wear after trabeculectomy can have a high success rate. Samples et al (1990) successfully fit all eight eyes attempted with GP lenses post-trabeculectomy without reported complications. Lois et al (1997) successfully fit all six eyes in a study using soft and GP contact lenses on patients who had filtering blebs.
In 2005, Pederson reported an 85 percent success rate fitting GP lenses on patients who have filtering blebs with no complications of blebitis or endophthalmitis. However, two eyes in this study were treated for bleb laceration and staining of the bleb. This highlights why fitting contact lenses on patients who have filtering blebs can potentially lead to a more severe complication such as blebitis and endophthalmitis. A contact lens, whether soft or GP, can mechanically cause erosive damage to the bleb. The use of MMC and 5-FU can result in a bleb that is thin, which can make it more susceptible to damage and subsequent infection.
Fitting Approaches
Soft Contact Lenses Soft contact lenses are an option for vision correction for patients who have blebs. Because the diameter of most standard soft lenses are usually around 14.00mm, there is a likelihood of interaction between the lens and the bleb. In most cases the soft lens will have to vault over at least the bottom one-third of the bleb. Obviously this will be accomplished more easily if the bleb is relatively low-lying versus one that has significant elevation.
Using a lens with a low modulus is recommended, as the lens can drape more easily over the bleb without negatively affecting fit or comfort. Frequent replacement lenses and appropriate care systems will minimize bacterial binding that could increase the risk of an adverse event.
GP Contact Lenses GP lenses are rigid in nature and have more potential to cause mechanical trauma to the bleb compared to a soft lens. You can use GP lenses to correct ametropia and aphakia, but they are the best option for masking corneal irregularity. An intrapalpebral approach is best for corneal GPs (Figure 2). A high-riding lens or one that moves excessively has the potential to injure a vulnerable bleb. When using a GP lens to mask corneal irregularity resulting from corneal disease, trauma, or surgery, maintaining centration sometimes can be difficult or impossible. Without a bleb, scleral type lenses are normally a good option in these cases as they center well on corneas with extreme irregularity. The bleb presents a problem for scleral lens fitting because the rigid scleral lens will not drape over the bleb as a soft lens would. However, notches can be beveled into a scleral lens (Figure 3) that will enable it to bypass the bleb (Figure 4). In this case the patient has to align the notch with the location of the bleb upon application so that it fits on the eye like a puzzle piece.
Figure 2. Corneal GP lens fitting below a bleb.
Figure 3. Scleral notch.
Figure 4. Scleral lens with a notch fitting around a bleb.
Scleral lenses are designed to be fit without movement, so even though the lens is locked in place there is no physiological consequence. Notches that are less than 4.00mm deep into the lens will usually not affect fit; however, anything more may result in the formation of air bubbles underneath the lens.
Compliance and Care
When fitting contact lenses for visual correction for patients who have blebs, extra caution and care is required to avoid complications, which include blebitis and endophthalmitis. Compliance and follow up are critical to reduce risk of contact lens-related bleb complications. Patients should fully understand the extra risks involved with wearing contact lenses under these circumstances. Assessment of the patient's history of compliance after his trabeculectomy will help you determine how compliant the patient may be with contact lens wear. Frequent follow up is essential to evaluate lens fit and the condition of the lens. Continuously monitor the bleb for staining or damage secondary to lens wear. The patient should use a lens replacement schedule and a care system that keeps the lenses free of deposits, which can increase the risk of infection and complications.
Contact Lenses for Bleb Leaks
A conjunctival bleb leak is a serious complication of trabeculectomy. The use of antifibrotic agents such as 5-FU and MMC have significantly increased the incidence of bleb leaks (Mandal, 2009; Khaw et al, 2003; Schwartz et al, 2002). Although antifibrotic agents prevent excessive scarring to prevent filtering failure, they may also contribute to thinning of conjunctival and Tenon's tissue, which predisposes the bleb to a leak. The incidence of leaks when antifibrotics are used is estimated to be 5 percent to 30 percent (Mandal, 2009; Schuman et al, 1996; Ticho and Ophir, 1993; Katz et al 1995). Complications of bleb leaks are serious and can include hypotony, choroidal effusion, blebitis, and endophthalmitis. Patients may be asymptomatic of a bleb leak; however, they may complain of excessive watering in the affected eye. Diagnosis of a bleb leak is confirmed by a positive Seidel's sign.
Initial treatment of a leaking bleb is to slow or stop aqueous flow through the leak to give the epithelium a chance to seal the wound. First, if tolerated, prescribe aqueous suppressants such as a beta blocker and/or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. This may seem counterintuitive, especially if the patient's eye pressure is already hypotonous. However, aqueous suppression will reduce the amount of aqueous that is able to flow through the leak and is continuously disrupting epithelial healing.
Secondly, pressure at the leak site with the use of pressure patch or with a soft lens will slow or stop aqueous flow and reduce mechanical aggregation from the lid to allow epithelial restoration. Soft contact lenses have a definite visual and cosmetic advantage over pressure patching for patients. A study by Blok et al (1990) reported an 80 percent success rate using large-diameter (20.5mm) soft lenses to successfully treat leaking blebs after a mean treatment period of 2.2 months. The patients in the study reported the lenses to be comfortable, and complications occurred in only one eye (Blok et al 1990). In another study Shoham et al (2000) demonstrated a 92 percent success rate using 17.50mm soft bandage contact lenses to manage leaking blebs following trabeculectomy.
There are three contact lens characteristics to consider when fitting a bandage soft lens to treat a bleb leak. The first is lens diameter, which is dependent on the location of the bleb, leak location, and bleb size. If the bleb and the location of the leak are proximal to the limbus, then a standard bandage soft contact lens with approximately 14.00mm diameter may work (Figure 5). A larger-diameter contact lens with a diameter of approximately 20.00mm may be needed for larger blebs or if the wound is 2.00mm or greater from the limbus (Figure 6). Secondly, the soft bandage contact lens should have a low modulus, which will help it more easily drape up and over the bleb, especially if the bleb is significantly elevated. Finally, choose a lens that has a high Dk to reduce the risk of hypoxic-related complications, as the lenses will be worn on an extended wear basis.
Figure 5. A 14.00mm soft lens draping over a bleb leak.
Figure 6. A 20.00mm soft lens over a bleb leak.
Besides aqueous suppressants, prescribe an antibiotic drop to reduce the risk of an infection. Frequent follow ups are necessary to monitor for contact lens-related bleb complications. Educate patients on the symptoms of complications, especially blebitis and endophthalmitis, and advise them to return immediately if they should occur. Removal of the contact lens during checks is necessary to check IOP and to clean the contact lens. Applying an artificial tear before lens removal will minimize epithelial disruption to the wound, especially if the lens has tightened down secondary to extended wear. Lenses that have deposits that are not removable should be immediately replaced to reduce the risk of complications.
If a bandage contact lens fails to help repair a leaking bleb, then consider surgical options such as conjunctival-Tenon's advancement flap or hinged partial thickness scleral flap (Mandal, 2001).
Previously, filtering blebs were a contraindication for any type of contact lens wear. However, there is evidence that patients who have blebs can wear contact lenses for visual correction, especially for aphakia or if corneal irregularity warrants their use. There is also evidence that bandage soft contact lenses can help effectively manage a leaking bleb.
The aging population will increase the number of glaucoma patients, and this may increase the demand for patients who may benefit visually or medically from contact lenses after trabeculectomy. Careful patient selection, fitting, and evaluation will minimize contact lens complications for this select group of patients. CLS

Especially popular are Big Beef tomatoes that already have flowers and are sure to produce juicy fruit soon enough. And in case you would just as soon go with farm fresh, John expects the first of native grown tomatoes to be on their stand by the second week in June. And as a tip, Cindy recommends gardeners ring their plots with onions – she holds one of the seedlings here – to discourage animals from wandering in.

The Gutless Suspense Writer. TMI?
By Misty Dietz
OMG, I'M ON MURDER SHE WRITES! (Yes, I was yelling, and I'm totally sorry if that offends anyone.) Super big hugs to Allison for hosting me today because I. Love. Her. Like really a lot.
Okay, before I embarrass her further, let me move on and humiliate myself (I'm awesome at that). Like suspense writers everywhere, I explore the inner psyches of some very demented characters. And like all writers, I have a very active imagination. This is definitely a blessing.
Except when it's not.
Because there are certain…consequences of having said effervescent imagination.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm a freakin' pansy. I'm the girl who turns off the lights downstairs and then runs—RUNS—up the stairs because, damn, what if something with glowing red eyes creeps out of the laundry room? Who really cares about being dignified and grown up if you're just gonna get eaten?
And then when I get upstairs and my hubs is already asleep in bed, I take a running leap onto the covers because I'm an ever-lovin' child of the 80s and just because a posse of Gremlins hasn't been under my bed for the last 30 years doesn't mean they're not going to show up one of these nights.
Jeezus. TMI? You know you do it, too.
What about all those strange noises you hear in the house when you're all alone? I swear, I can tell myself every logical hypothesis for what I'm hearing, but instead my imagination kicks it into Mach 4. One day I came home and realized I'd forgotten to lock the front door after one of my kids' friends had left earlier. Oh God. Who was waiting for me in a closet? Should I check behind the shower curtain (cue Psycho music)? Had they been watching my routine?
Even in what you'd consider serene natural surroundings I spaz and start to think…where would a murderer hide a body around here? In a decomposing, hollowed out tree trunk? Strung up in the tree canopy? Could it be that body disposal class I took has changed me forever? I wouldn't let myself read the lessons too close to bedtime, or I'd have to pull an all-nighter reading Janet Evanovich just so I could LOL and think about something other than wild hogs tearing apart whatever was left of some poor dumped body.
Dude, word to the wise, I am never going into the Georgia backwoods. Some creepy shit up in there.
Finally, let's talk scary movies and ghost stories around a campfire. As a suspense writer, I should dig all that, right? Oh, hell no. If I'm a captive audience, I scrunch my eyes and stick my fingers in my ears because sometimes the movie sounds are more disturbing than the visuals. I totally trace this back to second grade when my babysitter let me watch The Exorcist one night. Talk about traumatic. Scarred me for life. My parents were P-O'd.
So why do I gravitate to reading and writing suspense? Maybe it's because I can control the images I bring to life in my head. That I'm the goddess of that universe, and I determine what happens. Maybe because my subconscious constantly reassures me that it's fiction. I don't really know, but it sounds like a disorder, no?
I feel like I need a 12-step program. Hi, I'm Misty, and I'm a chicken-shit suspense writer…
But hey, it somehow works for me. And hopefully, my readers will think it works for my stories.
Do you love to be scared, or are you spineless like me? Maybe that's a dumb question to ask followers of a blog called Murder She Writes. LOL. Anyone have any tips for me to get over my gutlessness?
At the end of my blog tour we'll be drawing the name of two commenters from all of the blogs to gift not one, but two fantastic prize winners. See below for details, and thanks for being here! xo, misty 😉
Allison here! I haven't met Misty in person, but I feel like I know her extremely well through RWA and the Kiss of Death chapter. I read her debut novel as an ARC and it's fantastic — definitely a must read for those who love Kay Hooper and hot, dark, romantic suspense. Don't forget her question — do you love to be scared … or are you spineless? For me … I used to love slasher movie (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street) but now, I much prefer the psychological suspense, the tension. Or rather … I love it and hate it at the same time! The Walking Dead is so compelling with amazing characters … but the show gives me nightmares. Go figure! I still go back for more …

Music to Your Ears
Let the Spring Crawl Countdown Begin—Spring Crawl is set for Saturday, April 29, this year ... less than one month away! Clear your schedule and prepare for 100 music acts (give or take a few), including nationally touring bands Guttermouth, Bullet For My Valentine and Attractive at the Sunshine Theater and Stereotyperider at Launchpad. This is all subject to change, of course. Now, for those of you who are still trying to figure out how to apply for a slot: Er ... you can't. You cannot audition, submit yourselves for review or put a bug in someone's ear about playing any of the Crawls. Sorry. It just doesn't work that way. What does work is playing live gigs Downtown as much as humanly possible, bringing in a good draw (people who come specifically to see you) and being polite, punctual and easy to work with—because it's the venues who decide, not us. See, after working with you guys for the past six months or more, each participating venue submits a "wish list" of bands they'd like to have play their respective rooms during the Crawl. We just do our best to schedule it all smoothly. Make sense? I sure hope so ... now get gigging!
Flyer on the Wall
Jurassic Rock
Revelation recording artists Shook Ones and Sinking Ships perform a monster set with local newbs Outlaw and Excruciation. $5 show starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, at Sol Arts (all-ages, 712 Central SE). (LM)
Show Up!
Four Shillings Short
The thing about Four Shillings Short is that they're so unique, writers who attempt to explain their sound have gone to great lengths to describe them in likewise original ways. Sure, they're amazing folk musicians who travel around the world in a white van stuffed with an array of instruments. Sure, both Aodh "g" Tuama and Christy Martin are talented, well-educated musical entrepreneurs. Their traditional Celtic yet Indian-influenced bluesy American folk is just so undeniably good, and they're obviously far from "short" on anything—where'd "Four Shillings Short" come from?
Music Magnified
El Aviador Dro
Monday, April 10, Burt's Tiki Lounge (21-and-over); Free: For over 25 years, El Aviador Dro has been a fixture of the synth pop community of Spain and other parts of Latin America. In their native land, they are as important to the scene as groups like Devo and Front 42. But, as with so many non-English speaking, semi-noncommercial bands, Aviador Dro have remained largely unnoticed by the American underground music community and non-Spanish synth poppers alike. That has changed, however, since Omega Point, an electropunk indie label in the United States, released an Aviador Dro compilation that spans the group's entire musical history and also includes a few bonus tracks for those already in the know. The band's earlier work can loosely be compared to Duran Duran and is especially similar to Devo, while their more current material is in-style enough to win the hearts of today's modern synth pop devotees. So don't let the Español scare you, come on out to Burt's for the best synth pop you've never heard.

Two Gallants
with Edith Frost and The Zincs
Sunday, April 9, Launchpad (21-and-over), Free: Like Johnny Cash with throat cancer or Flogging Molly's Dave King on a whiskey binge, Two Gallants' lead singer Adam Stephens belts out dust-covered vignettes over muted guitar and flower-petal-soft symbol crashes. This is the windswept landscape of Two Gallants' "Nothing to You" off of the band's debut release The Throes. Stephens and Tyson Vogel borrow the unmistakable intimacy of Bright Eyes mastermind and Two Gallants' mentor, Conor Oberst, and take it to a murky, half-chaotic place that's uninhabited by most but oddly familiar to many.
Trilobite Debut CD Party
Folk-country with a story to tell
Singer, songwriter, fictionist and former Stanford attendee Mark Ray Lewis grew up the son of a country preacher in Hannibal, Mo. Lewis' family, which included his gospel-adoring mother, Betty Jo Lewis, who released her own 8-track in the '70s, cultivated in him a profound respect and love for music as well as an irrepressible spiritual consciousness.

The Kleptones 24 Hours · nearLY reminder · The Dresden Dolls Yes, Virginia
The Kleptones are more than the sum of their samples. They do what's called "mashup" or "bastard pop," where super-geniuses clip moments of well-known songs, then layer vocals and parts of other famous tracks on top. The further away the genres are from one another, the better the result. For instance, Simon and Garfunkel get down with The Cure. Peter Gabriel sings "Land of Confusion" with Edwin Starr's "War," (you know, "What is it good for?") in the background to create stunning results. The best part is how well these things line up, like they were meant for each other. The other best part is this brilliant double disc is free if you go to www.kleptones.com.

Dear Lifehacker, I've been wondering about the appropriate cold storage instructions for cooked poultry. If refrigerated right after cooking, how long does cooked chicken last in the fridge? All the US government sites suggest 3 to 4 days, but I can't find any reference points for Australia. Can you help? Thanks, Aspiring Colonel
Picture by Edsel Little
Dear AC,
Good question. The first point is that the basic rules of refrigerating food aren't going to vary dramatically between the US and Australia. The second point is that guidelines are just that: guidelines. The effectiveness of your refrigerator and the way you have cooked the chicken can both make a difference.
With that said, the CSIRO has a handy set of guidelines on how to store food. This recommends no more than 3 days for poultry, and 3-5 days for leftovers, presuming your fridge is running at between 0 and 3 degrees Celsius.
If you want to reduce the risk of food poisoning, our previous advice — wait until the cooked food has stopped steaming, and then freeze it immediately — remains the best option. You won't have the convenience of being able to eat it straight from the fridge, but you should be safe from any unexpected bacteria.
Cheers Lifehacker

Storms Brewing to our West
Scattered showers and storms have developed ahead of a cold front across central and western Oklahoma this evening. Sunshine and heating have fueled many severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds.
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 11 pm well west of our area. We are not expecting severe weather across our area tonight or tomorrow morning. These storms will fall apart before they reach our area.
Our next best chance for showers and storms will be late Thursday morning into the afternoon. Another shot at rain arrives for Friday as another cold front moves in from the northwest. The front will clear us out for the weekend, so both Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be dry and a little cooler. Don't forget Mother's Day on Sunday!

Debbie Halvorson found herself alone among leading Democratic candidates Sunday when she indicated she would not support a ban on the semiautomatic firearm used in the Sandy Hook school shooting last month.
The former one-term congresswoman from Crete took that position at a wide-ranging candidate forum in the 2nd Congressional District contest to replace former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Gun violence, including President Barack Obama's call for a semiautomatic assault weapons ban and a prohibition on large-capacity magazines, has grown into a major issue in the South Side and south suburban district—particularly given Chicago's recent history of gun-related murders. Nationally, the debate was fueled by last month's killing of 20 elementary school students in Newtown, Conn.
But in a crowded and fast-approaching Feb. 26 special primary, Democratic opponents attaching themselves to Obama's call for more gun laws are trying to isolate Halvorson, who has received past backing by the National Rifle Association.
"We've buried far too many of our own children over the years—every day. When are we going to go after the criminals? When are we going to go after the people who buy guns for those who aren't able to go get their backgrounds checked? We need to strengthen the laws we already have instead of keep talking about new ones," Halvorson said at the forum at Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th St.
"We need to do more about the criminals. Cook County has an assault weapons ban. We have the highest amount of murders in the country. Let's do more about enforcing the laws we have at the same time doing more about keeping our streets safe," she said, adding she backs a universal background check and tougher criminal penalties on straw purchasers.
Though she handily lost a primary last March to Jackson, Halvorson is viewed as a leading candidate in the special primary with good name recognition and her status as the only white candidate among 17 Democratic contenders.
Robin Kelly of Matteson, a former state lawmaker, said she not only backed an assault weapons ban and universal background checks but also wanted the state to go no further on legalizing the carrying of concealed weapons. A federal appeals court recently ruled Illinois' ban on carrying firearms in public unconstitutional.
But Kelly, who has begun airing radio ads in support of her gun-control stance, made a veiled criticism of Halvorson at the forum when she said, "I got an F (grade) from the NRA, something I'm proud of. I don't have to go back and take the test and study anymore."
State Sen. Toi Hutchinson of Olympia Fields, who replaced Halvorson in the state Senate, also has had NRA backing in the past. Hutchinson, who did not attend the forum, has embraced Obama's call for tougher gun measures and co-sponsored a bill in Springfield to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Chicago Ald. Anthony Beale, 9th, noted his role in passing the city's 2010 ordinance to strictly regulate handguns, saying, "We need to take that leadership to Washington." Likening the need to curb neighborhood gun crime to the airport safety checks instituted after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Beale said, "The planes are crashing in our community and we must act and act now."
New state Sen. Napoleon Harris, D-Flossmoor, was more reserved, saying the underlying issues of poverty, joblessness, family unrest and mental health issues need to be addressed first.
Disgraced former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds, forced to give up the seat after convictions that included having sex with an underage campaign worker, noted he co-sponsored the nation's previous assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
Latest Breaking News
But for her part, Halvorson was adamant against looking at a gun ban.
"I refuse to take a look at these wide ranging gun bans and pass one more law against a law abiding citizen until there is something done against those who get their guns illegally or criminal," she said after the forum.
"I'm with the president, first of all, that we must continue this national dialogue. For the first time ever, we've got this (gun issue) as something we're talking about and everybody's at the table," she said.

Samsung Electronics Co said on Thursday it would mass-produce its faster, energy-saving quad-core mobile microprocessor to power the third generation of its flagship Galaxy S smartphone, due to be unveiled next week.
Samsung said it is sampling the chips to major handset makers as it seeks to expand its customer base from Apple Inc to its handset rivals such as Nokia , HTC and Motorola.
The South Korean firm is the world's top manufacturer of mobile application processors (AP), enjoying booming sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad as well as its own Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets.
The Exynos 4 Quad, based on British chip designer ARM Holdings' Cortex A9 technology, enables more tasks in a shorter period of time, for example, a task such as streaming video can run on one core while the other cores update applications in the background, connecting to the web and scanning virus-check simultaneously.
Samsung plans to unveil its upgraded Galaxy S III smartphone next week in London, banking on a heavy marketing campaign heading into the summer Olympics in the city.
