Craig Hamilton, from Carnmeen Drive, Rathcoole, will spend half of the sentence in prison with the remaining 15 months spent on supervised licence when he is released from custody.
Prosecuting barrister Simon Jenkins told Belfast Crown Court that Hamilton participated in the violent disorder which erupted in the Woodvale area of Belfast on July 12 last year.
During the riot, a large crowd pelted police with bricks, fireworks, masonry and petrol bombs, resulting in 20 officers being injured, five of whom were hospitalised.
Mr Jenkins said Hamilton was captured on police CCTV being present for around two hours and 20 minutes, during which he was seen throwing six missiles at police lines.
He was also seen by police officers using a Stanley Knife to slash the tyres of two police Landrovers.
Hamilton has 47 previous convictions including public disorder offences and criminal damage.
He was identified the following month and when he was arrested and shown the footage, he said couldn't remember what happened but he apologised to police for his actions.
He subsequently pleaded guilty to rioting and to causing criminal damage to the police vehicles.
A defence solicitor told Judge Corinne Philpott QC that his client had "no recollection of the incident" as he had been drinking heavily and had taken Ecstasy tablets, but when he was arrested Hamilton "accepted full responsibility" and "showed remorse for his behaviour."
When Judge Philpott questioned the possession of the Stanley Knife, which she said was a "particularly vicious and nasty type of knife", the defence solicitor said it was Hamilton's case that he believed someone gave it to him and "pushed him forward".
The solicitor also told the Judge that Hamilton "doesn't recall having it at all."
The solicitor also revealed that when Hamilton's father found out about his son's involvement in the riot, he sacked him from the home repairs business he ran.
Passing sentence, Judge Philpott told Hamilton that despite the amount of alcohol taken, he was "fit and co-ordinated enough" to slash the tyres on the police vehicle.

TAMPA, Fla. - First stop, Tampa. Next stop, Texas. As long as it's on the road, the New York Giants can't complain.
The Giants moved to 8-1 away from home with a dominating 24-14 NFC wild-card playoff victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday. New York has won every away game since falling in its season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, and it gets a chance to diminish that blemish in a much bigger matchup next Sunday, with the winner going to the conference title game.
"We love playing there, we love going down to Dallas," Eli Manning said. "There are no secrets.
"It's a tough challenge against Dallas, we know that. We played them two times; maybe the third will be the charm."
As for concerns the Giants (11-6) left too much of themselves on the field in futilely trying to stop New England's perfect season on Dec. 29, well, forget it. After a lackluster first quarter, New York bullied the NFC South champions, who lost three of their last four regular-season games, including the final two when coach Jon Gruden rested many starters.
"We weren't sluggish, but it was not like we were the week before," said Giants veteran receiver Amani Toomer, who had a big game. "We needed one play to get us going and for me to be the guy, I was excited."
He was the guy often, making seven receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown.
It was the first postseason win after two defeats for Manning, who efficiently outplayed his counterpart, Jeff Garcia. Manning went 20-of-27 for 185 yards, with almost all the damage coming after a forgettable opening period in which New York had minus-2 yards of offense.
The oft-criticized Manning should draw nothing but praise for his performance, which included touchdown passes of 5 yards to Brandon Jacobs and 4 to Toomer. The score by Toomer completed a clinching 92-yard, 15-play drive.
"Eli had a great game today," Toomer said. "He took what was out there and didn't force anything. He doesn't get real excited; there is more than one way to lead a team."
The defense also showed up with a superb effort in the three quarters. Cornerback Corey Webster's interception and fumble recovery, and Michael Strahan's nine tackles and a sack led the way. Tampa Bay (9-8), which has not won a postseason game since the 2003 Super Bowl, gained only 166 yards before a late 88-yard drive made it 24-14.
"I think as a team we seem to perform better on the road," Strahan said. "I didn't know we won eight in a row. That's a great thing, because when it's the playoffs, if we're going to go as far as we want, we have to win every game on the road."
The Bucs' Micheal Spurlock fumbled his runback to open the second half. Webster recovered at the Tampa 30 and the Giants got to the 4 before Lawrence Tynes kicked a 25-yard field goal to make it 17-7 for New York.
Webster contributed again moments later, shadowing Joey Galloway to the end zone and picking off Garcia's weak pass.
"That's huge, the play of the day," Gruden said of the fumble.

Hits and the right buttons
Enjoyed a marvellous short stay at this hotel. The new young owners (of 2 years) have spend this period enhancing the hotel and moving it up the scale. Our room although not large, was more than adequate and was well equipped with TV, DVD,CD and a wonderful bathroom.
As per the previous comments the food was sensational, we ate on the Friday in the bistro and thought this was one of the best meals we ever had - then we wentto the restaurant on the Saturday and this was! We had intended to eat out on a few nights, but instead stayed in on all 4 nights.
Scott, the owner obviously enjoys his wine and this was reflected in a great list to choose from.
All the staff at the hotel were very friendly and enthusiastic about what they do, with all the help you required on hand to ensure you knew where to go in Perth and the surrounding area and what was good to see.
Great Stay at the Parklands
My husband and I recently (Sept 2005) spent four nights at the Parklands Hotel in Perth, Scotland. It was a wonderful experience. The hotel had private (free) parking, and was conveniently located. We had a nice, large room with private bath on the ground floor. The beds were good, and the room was quiet. The dining room was open for all meals, which we especially appreciated in the evening, after a long day of sightseeing. The food was excellent. Our room rate included breakfast, which was a full breakfast with lots of choices - also excellent. Our biggest compliment goes to the staff, especially Michael. His courtesy, friendliness and help made our stay there memorable. The other staff members were also very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the Parklands!
Great Food!
My friend and I stayed in the Parklands Hotel for one night and I have to say we were absolutely delighted. The room, though a bit on the small side had a huge bathroom with an excellent shower. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. There are 2 small restaurants to choose from and the food is superb. I don't think I've had such a good "Full Scottish Breakfast", haggis included!
The hotel has a car park and is located very centrally - about a 5 minute stroll from Perth shopping centre and ther is ample room for car parking.
Amazing place, Amazing food
We have just spend a long weekend at this hotel and had a fabulous time. The Superior room we booked had a fantastic view over the park and the sunrises in the mornings were wonderful. There is a real contemporary feel to the rooms and they are very well equipped, we found the wireless internet very useful for reasearch and there was no charge.
Staff were very helpful and friendly and nothing was to much trouble.
The food... sensational!!! We found out the owners have recently got together a group of young chef's who really know how to cook, we ate in both the restaurants here and were completely bowled over by everthing we ate, the presentation and tastes we wonderful. Locals were using the place as well which is a good sign.
After our great food we relaxed in a wonderful garden and did enjoy a few glasses of wine as recommended.
Paradise at Parklands Perth
Spent a fab weekend in Perth enjoying the comforts offered at the friendly Parklands Hotel.
It's a must if you enjoy relaxing with a bottle of wine & really delicious, fresh food (two restaurants to choose from).
And they have a sweet garden patio that overlooks an open park, perfect for absorbing that Scotish sunshine.
Good but not great
Just back from a one night stay at Parklands. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. As the hotel was full our room was to the back of the hotel and this meant that there was a lot of noise from the road and nearby railway station. The windows are not double glazed. The room itself was clean but more adequate than great. The bathroom was spacious and clean but the shower did not seem to want to give hot water even although the bath did not have a similar problem. The double bed was comfortable but not big. However the net curtains needed thrown in the bin as they were covered in brown stains. All in all a great location and we would go back but next time we would make sure we had a room to the front of the hotel which over looks a quiet park. As the centre of Perth is very, very short of reasonable hotels then Parlands is probably the best. But then everything is relative.
Very Good
We have just returned from a week at the Parklands hotel while on Business in Perth. The hotel is excellent and service was very good and the people were very friendly. The rooms are very comfortable and were very nicely decorated. The food is also very good. I would certainly stay at this hotel again.
Perfect Location in Perth
We stayed at the Parklands for a short weekend break, we have most impressed by the facilities and the food on offer. We ate in both restaurants and the food was fantastic.
Excellent selection for breakfast with everything freshly prepared.
Our room had been recently decorated to a high standard. For visiting central perth, this is a fantastic location, only 5 minutes walk from the centre, yet situated overlooking a beautiful park.
A great weekend break
Stayed at Parklands hotel for a weekend break. The food was superb in the restaurants and the rooms were very comfortable indeed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location great.
A Sweet Hotel in Perth
Wonderful hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff! Great food. Next door to the car rental agency. One block from the bus station. An easy walk to downtown and shopping. Comfortable rooms. Lovely grounds. Pets don't seem to be a problem, (but I would check). It was fun to watch another guest bring his HUGE Newfoundland dog into the hotel without anyone batting an eye.

The BBC Censors Its Own Report on Tunisia's Jews Saying "No" To Israel !
- Zionism is an Illuminist construct. Zionist '666′ Israel is a Satanic counterfeit. Modern Ashkenazi Jews (90+% of modern Jewry) are not the Jews of the Bible. They are not even semitic. The Christian sheeple, in particular American Christians, are greatly deceived by this Illuminist construct.
- The western MSM is largely owned by Zionists-Illuminists. They have been conducting a psyop against Christians using Zionist '666′ Israel. It is about propagating myths about this Satanic state and always putting it in a positive light. It is about fomenting fear and hate against the Muslim people to setup the coming Satanic World War 3. God does not teach me to hate and kill Muslims, Jews or anybody. But to love them.
- The Satanic plan is to use Zionist '666′ Israel to destroy the Muslim world and in the process, the Satanic counterfeit will be destroyed. Yes, you have to be crazy to want to stay in this neo Nazi, war mongering, genocidal state!
The BBC censors its own report on Tunisia's Jews saying "No" to Israel !
By Alan Hart, http://www.redress.cc/
Alan Hart views an instance where, as a result either of pro-Zionist bias, Israeli pressure or cowardice, BBC television censored a report by one of its own correspondents, originally broadcast on BBC World Service radio, cutting out from an audio clip a passage in which a Tunisian Jew stated that it would be crazy of him to emigrate to Israel.
There was a moment in a report from Tunisia by the BBC's Wyre Davies when I could not stop myself laughing. I was listening to it on the Corporation's generally excellent World Service radio. (In my view this particular BBC service is generally excellent because, unlike all other BBC news and current affairs outlets, radio and TV, it often reflects some of the truth about what is happening in and over Palestine that became Israel.)
"Go to Israel? I'm not crazy!"
Davies was in Tunisia to find out how its remaining 2,000 Jews (down from 300,000 once upon a time) were responding to a call from an Israeli government minister for them to move to Israel. The case the minister made was, apparently, that their security and wellbeing were no longer guaranteed in an Arab country with an Islamist government in place of what Davies called a "sectarian dictatorship". In other words, Tunisia's Jews were in danger and would be safe in Israel. (My guess is that the greatest concern of the Israeli minister and his colleagues was less the fate of Jews in Tunisia and more the need for Jews from anywhere to go to Israel to help defuse the ticking demographic time-bomb of occupation.)
The story as told by Davies for the BBC's World Service radio was honest reporting at its best. Its explicit message was that Tunisia's Jews have rejected the Israeli call. One of those interviewed by Davies said to him and a listening world: "No one here is afraid."
Another said, "Go to Israel? I'm not crazy!"
That's what made me laugh. A subsequent development wiped the smile from my face. A friend in Italy sent me a web link for the television version of the Davies report from Tunisia. I opened the link to check that it was the same report I'd heard on the World Service radio. It started in exactly the same way so I assumed it was, and I tweeted it as "MUST WATCH: Tunisia's Jews reject [Israel's] call to leave".
Bias or censorship?
An hour or so later I made the time to view the complete television version. The Jewish gentleman who said, "Go to Israel? I'm not crazy!" had been edited out.
On past BBC form there are four possible explanations.
1. Driven by a personal commitment to Zionism and support for its monster child right or wrong, a senior BBC executive ordered the quote to be dropped on his own initiative.
2. Senior BBC executive received a telephone call from the Israeli embassy in London, or possibly the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem, telling him or her that Israel would not be pleased if the BBC gave more air time to a Tunisian Jew who was saying "No" to Israel in a way that suggested he had some contempt for the Zionist state and thought that many Israelis were crazy.
3. A senior BBC executive anticipated that giving the Jewish gentleman in Tunisia a wider audience would provoke Zionism's wrath and decided (as BBC excutives often do) that it was better for the Corporation to censor itself than provoke that wrath.
4. For reasons of limited space in a television news bulletin, the report for the World Service radio had to be edited, shortened.
I have to say that I consider the fourth possible explanation as summarized above to be the least likely one. Why? There are many very good journalists in the BBC and they know as well as I do that the single most revealing and therefore newsworthy statement in the original Davies report was that of the Jewish gentleman who said, "Go to Israel? I'm not crazy!"

Mike Beatz - We All We Got (I'm Da Kid)
Artist: Mike Beatz
Featuring: Cappadonna
Producer: Adonis
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 6 votes )
Last we heard from Mike Beatz, he was flexing his Entourage Flow on a single inspired by the hit HBO series. Today, however, the South Florida emcee's ditched the retinue to bring us We All We Got (I'm the Kid), a fresh song release stressing the importance of knowing who your real friends are. Faithful collaborator and co-headliner Adonis does his thing on the production tip, pairing a minimal organ riff with a head-noddable, boom-bap rhythm as Beatz confidently chronicles his many achievements, and laughs in the face of those who would be presumptuous enough to critique his approach to the grind. Another worthy confidant and collaborator, Wu-Tang spitter Cappadonna, contributes some scorching rhymes on the front. Craving more? Stay tuned; while nothing has been revealed regarding the duo's next collaborative project, Beatz and Adonis will be announcing details on the set in the very near future.

Redecorating? Consider A Periodic Table Table
You won't find this table at Ikea. . . or anywhere else. This one-of-a-kind table houses samples of almost every chemical element. Each sample is nested in a square cubby with a wooden lid that is carved with the element symbol, name and number.

Weigh In On Proposed Names for Two New Elements
Hot dog! Now is my chance to have my name immortalized on the Periodic Table. I just have to decide on Tracionium or Purdumion. Well, it's not that easy. But, there are two elements waiting in the wings for approval on their proposed names.

EDMONTON - The contrast couldn't be more stark.
On one hand: resource-hungry China, which is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to secure global commodity supplies and control its own destiny.
On the other hand, resource-rich Canada, which is so paralyzed by petty regional politics, competing provincial agendas and the sky-is-falling rhetoric of environmental pressure groups that it runs the risk of squandering its economic future.
While China's central planners and state-controlled firms forge ahead with a clear-eyed plan to lock up global energy supplies — witness China National Offshore Oil Co.'s (CNOOC's) blockbuster $15.1 billion bid for Nexen Inc., unveiled Monday — Canada's national energy strategy remains little more than a poorly articulated idea in search of a roadmap.
Although Alberta Premier Alison Redford has worked hard to get other provincial leaders to back the idea — including Ontario Premier Dalton ("Dutch Disease") McGuinty, who laid down arms just long enough to join Redford over dinner last week — Canada's regional fault lines run deep, pitting energy producers like Alberta and Saskatchewan against consumers like Quebec and Ontario.
The resource-rich western provinces are hardly on the same page, either. Witness the strident opposition to Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline on the West Coast, and British Columbia Premier Christy Clark's increasingly frosty view of the $5.5 billion project.
Enbridge's pledge last week to spend a further $500 million on pipeline safety measures in the wake of a scathing U.S. watchdog's report on its handling of a 2010 pipeline spill in Michigan has done little to defuse B.C.'s concerns.
Of course, talk is cheap, and it's often cheapest when it springs from the mouths of embattled politicians like Clark, who trails her NDP rival in the polls. Thus, if Redford shows some new-found willingness to meet B.C.'s demands for a "fair share" of the fiscal benefits of Enbridge's proposed bitumen pipeline to Kitimat, perhaps there is still room for a deal.
With Canada's 13 provincial and territorial leaders slated to meet later this week at the Council of the Federation in Halifax, this would be an excellent opportunity to show some tangible progress on that front. But if anything, the battle lines seem to be hardening.
"Every Canadian, no matter what province they call home, expects that energy development is done with a high degree of environmental safeguards," Redford said Monday, after B.C. laid out its conditions for supporting the project.
"This is why a rigorous environmental review is underway by the National Energy Board. It is why (Enbridge) has committed an additional $500 million for increased monitoring and safety measures. These efforts ... significantly mitigate the environmental risk and weaken the B.C. government's argument for compensation based on potential risk."
Maybe so. But since most of the economic benefits of the pipeline would flow to Alberta and to oilsands producers, B.C.'s demands for a piece of the upside — as well as protection from the downside — don't seem unreasonable.
"As Alberta has said repeatedly, and as we saw in the recent report from the Senate's Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee, accessing new energy markets is a national imperative. It is essential for the economic benefit of Canada," Redford added.
"Leadership is not about dividing Canadians and pitting one province against another — leadership is about working together. That's when our country benefits ... Through a Canadian Energy Strategy, the provinces and territories together will reach their full energy potential and contribute to increased prosperity and a higher standard of living for all Canadians."
Fine words. And fundamentally, I agree with Redford's goals. After all, energy is Canada's top export, and Asia is the world's fastest-growing market for our energy products. Surely, it's in the national interest for Canada to build the export pipelines it needs to access Asian markets.
But words and moral suasion aren't enough. As China knows, when push comes to shove, money talks. You have to write some big cheques if you want to secure your future.
That's what Alberta will have to do, one way or another, if it wants the Northern Gateway project to proceed.
These videos will give you an insider's look at the specialized equipment used to recover and contain oil if a pipeline leaks.
Learn what the oil sands are, how they're developed and how industry is balancing economic benefits with environmental protection.
The world relies on an energy mix that includes oil, coal, natural gas, hydro, nuclear and renewables. All forms of energy production must increase to meet growing demand.
This report provides an overview of the development of transporting crude oil by rail in Canada.
Oil is an important part of daily life in Canada, providing energy and products.
New construction technology, stringent and continuously improving regulations, and years of industry experience make Canada's oil shipping industry well-equipped to accommodate increased tanker traffic on the West Coast should new pipeline projects proceed, concludes the leading independent consulting firm IHS CERA.
While operating in Canadian waters, oil tankers must comply with international safety and environmental protection requirements as well as Canada's marine safety regulations.
Improved tanker design, navigation and a fleet of response vessels means spills aren't inevitable

As a Transport Canada certified Response Organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation's mandate is to ensure there is a state of preparedness in place and to mitigate the impact when an oil spill occurs.

STOCKTON (CBS13) – Police say that a woman stole another woman's car and forced a child inside to jump out.
The incident happened Thursday afternoon along the 400 block of North American Street. A woman told police that she was picking up some children. She said she ran inside a building and left her car with the keys inside, along with her 10-year-old nephew.
But, this is when police say the suspected carjacker pounced.
Police say that 26-year-old Victoria Chew jumped into the woman's car, yelling at the boy to get out. The boy complied and jumped out of the car as the woman was driving off.
Chew and the stolen car were found a short time later. Police say Chew tried to run from officers, but she was caught after a short foot chase.
Chew now faces carjacking, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest charges.

Brewing Water Information at:https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/
Like Bru'n Water on Facebook for occasional discussions on brewing water and Bru'n Water
When entering the grains into the mash acidification section does smoked malt affect anything? Should I just enter them in as what they were before they were smoked?
Smoking infuses phenols into the malt. I don't think that affects the acidity of the malt. But I don't know that for sure.
Okay, so I am just spinning up on Bru'n Water, so this thread is very timely to me. Awesome tool - thank you Martin!
To get started, I thought I'd input the Centennial Blonde batch (first AG brew!) I just did last weekend and see how well it predicts the Mash pH I got.
Mash pH measured during brew session: 5.65
Bru'n Water predicted Mash pH: 5.7
So I'm pretty impressed - but not without some lingering questions ...
How can I easily figure out the "grain type" (for input to "Mash Acidification" worksheet) for each item on the grain bill? I scoured data sheets, searched vendor descriptions and made some guesses but I'm not convinced I'm 100% on.
Is there a specific criteria we can follow to easily determine the correct Grain type? If there were some kind of table of malt characteristics or something that would be a whole lot easier than guessing...
Hey guys,
any help would be appreciated. Although i have asked for it, i'm not going to hold my breath on receiving a better water report (Service industry in the Netherlands is...lacking to say the least).
I do not have a readin for CaCO3 in my report. does that render the spreadsheet useless? what i have been able to find is
Calcium (Ca) 45.0
Magnesium (Mg) 6.3
Sodium (Na) 61.0
Potassium (K) 0.0
Iron (Fe) 0.0
181.0 Bicarbonate (HCO3)
0.0 Carbonate (CO3)
23.0 Sulfate (SO4)
0.0 Chloride (Cl)
3.4 Nitrate (NO3)
.. entered like this, I get the red flag:
Ion Balance Results
Total Cations (meq/L) 5.42 1.91 Cation/Anion Difference
Total Anions (meq/L) 3.50
Water Report is unbalanced. The Cation and Anion totals should be within 0.5 meq/L of each other
I use the following water report (most words are very similar, and for anything unclear you can do a quick google translate from Nederlands - English):https://www.waternet.nl/media/634131...krt.kw0313.pdf
any ideas on what i might be doing wrong?

Data Management and Analysis
Data Management and Analysis
From a business perspective, the role of data management and analysis is crucial. It is not only a resource for gathering new stores of static information; it is also a resource for acquiring knowledge and supporting the decisions companies need to make in all aspects of economic ventures, including mergers and acquisitions (M&As).
For organizational growth, all requirements and opportunities must be accurately communicated throughout the value chain. All users—from end users to data professionals—must have the most accurate data tools and systems in place to efficiently carry out their daily tasks. Data generation development, data quality, document and content management, and data security management are all examples of data-related functions that provide information in a logical and precise manner.
Read More...
Some of the specific data management challenges that most organizations face include
finding a way to communicate data throughout the value chain of the organization;
obtaining reliable data from within the system to make sound decisions;
leveraging data not only as an operational resource, but also as a business benefit;
ensuring consistency of data across the organization;
assuring data quality through proper integration of data elements;
maintaining high-level control over all data analysis, management, planning, and processes for business decision-making; and
controlling and implementing procedures for access control, security, and the ability to manipulate digital files, hard files, and other information.
Data needs to be managed correctly at every point, from source to target. Nowadays there are data management software tools that can support almost every facet of business processes, including product information management (PIM) systems, business intelligence (BI) and business performance management (BPM) systems, information security (IS) and enterprise content management (ECM) systems, and document management systems (DMSs).

At last the UPA seems to have realised the importance of "one- rank, one-pension" (OROP) — when the election is around the corner. It is akin to its move on LPG cylinders. These eleventh hour decisions reveal the mindset of the UPA, which thinks that people will forget earlier misery. I do not think this move will work.
Varun Ghai,
For more than 30 years, ex-servicemen have faced an uphill battle with various governments in implementing OROP. Therefore, the announcement needs to be approached with caution. This is because ex-servicemen have been deceived over time by repeated announcements made through government media on OROP. In 2009, the then President announced in a joint session of Parliament after the election, of the government's commitment to implement OROP. The then Finance Minister earmarked Rs.2,144 crore for OROP, but nothing happened. The Prime Minister was also misled on an OROP being in existence when there was no such scheme.
M.B. Gopinath,
There is every reason for our armed forces and ex-servicemen to be happy after the one-rank, one- pension proposal has been approved. The timing, though, is questionable. The GDP growth estimate for 2014-15 at 4.9 per cent seems unrealistic, considering past trends and the prevailing sluggish economy.
Mohan Daniel,

Was listening to the album Let There Be Rock by AC/DC all day. It is an absolutely fantastic rock n roll album. I have no idea how the album was recorded, but it sounds like an album recorded by a band live in a room while rolling some fat tape. It may seem simple to some, but the playing, writing, and recording are tremendous. Every groove is deep in the pocket. The guitars sound like snarling dogs. The lyrics are funny and witty and delivered for maximum effect by Bon Scott. There aren't many overdubs that couldn't be performed live, a guitar part here and there. I love records like this, that sound like an actual band. A great deal of the magic is from the way the musicians interact with each other. This is primal physical stuff. At the same time there is more sophistication going on in the arrangements then appears. This can be seen in the way there are long pauses on the title track, and then all of a sudden the band explodes back into the song. That's not amateur hour there. Angus Young's lead work sounds like he is taking the paint off of an entire countryside of barns. There is a reason that every one from metal bands to Fugazi's Ian MacKaye love this band. They are the very best at what they do. The title track, which may be my favorite AC/DC song will be posted above. It's also one of my favorite rock videos.
rock n roll
AC/DC Play Ball
The rock n roll monolith that is AC/DC continues, even without brother Malcolm Young. The new track sounds like, well, AC/DC. Would you want anything else? As a heavy metal drummer once told me, "Their shit is so simple, but it drives people fucking crazy." At this point the band should probably be added to the periodic table.
Marah's Melody of Rain Video
My last posts may have been too dark for a Monday morning. I'm stuck in the airport and I'm sure many of you are stuck at work. (Which is where I surfed the internet so much I once thought I found the end of it!) Here is a little joy in the form of music. This is Melody of Rain by Marah from their Marah Presents Mountain Minstrelsy of Pennsylvania album. In my humble opinion they are the best band from my home state of Pa and at the height of their powers they are one of the greatest rock n roll bands out there right now. Like many great bands they can't be properly defined by one genre, but even when they are doing something like this that has one foot in folk music, they always have another in rock n roll.
The Guitar Playing of Alain Whyte
One of my favorite guitar players is Alain Whyte. He was Morrissey's guitar player from Your Arsenal through Ringleader of the Tormentors. He still wrote songs with Morrissey after leaving the touring band, although I do not know yet if he wrote any songs on the new album. Morrissey pokes some fun at him in his Autobiography, but with Morrissey it is hard to tell if he there is any real animosity or just a sort of backhanded compliments that are the result of his Northern humor.
Alain Whyte never got the credit that he deserved, largely for the unpardonable sin of not being Johnny, even though he wrote at least 81 songs with Morrissey and contributed to some of his best works.
I loved the guitar team of Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte, but I prefer Alain's melodic expressive playing to Boz's more rhythmic approach out of the two. They were perfect foils for each other. Although the guitar playing of the two was rooted in pop and rock classicism I actually felt that especially during the 90's they were one of the few two guitar teams that were pushing the instrument in new directions.
They took glam, rock, pop, and rockabilly riffs, and blended them into a unique recognizable style. Under Steve Lillywhite the pair created what to me are the two high-water marks of Morrissey's career when it comes to guitar playing. The albums Vauxhall and I and Southpaw Grammar both feature exceptional guitar playing though they are both very different. Vauxhall and I is very beautiful and gentle while Southpaw Grammar explodes with volume and energy.
One of the things that is interesting about their playing is that even when they were playing loud they were often including beautiful melodies under the noise. Vice versa, even when they were playing beautiful gentle parts there was an emotional quality that created tension.
Much how Paul Westerberg often updated the guitar playing of the Rolling Stones by making it more melodic, I feel that Whyte, and Boorer with him took preexisting rock n roll templates and added a new melodicism to them. They might have only been painting new landscapes in the margins, but they were still creating their own language.
Now that Whyte is no longer in Morrissey's band he often co-writes pop songs with American pop stars. However, if you like his work his work with Morrissey I would recommend checking out the album Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams. This album features Whyte's guitar playing, writing, and singing. Some of the songs you will recognize as songs that became Morrissey songs.
If you are unfamiliar with his playing I would recommend checking out both of the above mentioned Morrissey records. Although I think Vauxhall and I is the pinnacle of Morrissey's solo career, Southpaw Grammar may interest you more if you are buying a record for purely the guitar playing aspect if you happen to be a rock n roll fan. Both records feature glorious guitar playing that in and of itself has unfortunately been overlooked for too long.
The Myth of Rock N Roll and Icarus
I'm diving back into Marah's catalogue after getting their excellent Mountain Minstrelsy of Pennsylvania album. I found a gloriously fun song by Dave and Serge Bielanko, the two brothers that fronted Marah, at least until Serge went on hiatus to raise his daughter. The song is called Livin' On the Road. It's from a compilation called Camp Black Dog Presents: Rock & Roll Summer Camp '98.
The song is a ridiculous rock n roll tale driven by banjo. It sounds like it came from somewhere between Ireland and the Louisiana bayou, but its spirit is completely rock n roll. It features lines such as, "I was a cocaine addict, I did the cocaine a thousand times." Another choice line is, "I was a hooker's lover, an undercover friend of whores." In lesser hands, my mind drifts to all the red dirt bands singing about whiskey, these lines might come across as fake rebellion. But Dave and Serge have such great trashy rock n roll singing voices, and the song is played with such enthusiasm, that one can't help but feel like defying the laws of decency and nature while listening to it.
I think most rock n roll myths are pure bullshit. However, when delivered in the right hands they do serve a purpose. Most people, at least at one time or another, live lives dealing with some kind oppression. The defiant rock n roller is like Icarus. They are flying higher and closer to the sun than should be allowed, defying the gods. You know that eventually their wings might melt, but they have made it further than most.
We live in an absurd universe. I don't have to tell you that. Just watch the news, or TV commercials, or politicians, or so many other things. It's often easy to feel like there is no sense to things and that the Creator went on vacation somewhere along the line. Many people are forced to work jobs that they have no passion for, while others have to deal with sicknesses that aren't their fault. Fate can be cruel. However, the rock n roller is like some weird mutant that can fly onward and upward, at least for a little while, in spite of such things. I think that's why so many want to believe in the myth of rock n roll, even if much of it is a myth. To paraphrase the last line of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle: They are lying on their backs, thumbing their nose at You Know Who.
The Making of A Manual for Defeat: Part 2
No Show Ponies new album, A Manual for Defeat, comes out tomorrow exclusively through www.noshowponies.com.
Before I go any father on the personal story of how our new album was made, I think it is best that I should acknowledge the outside forces that shaped its character. While by no means a "protest" or literal and dogmatic political record, the modern world in all of its absurdity and casual cruelness is never far from view. Make Businessmen Cry, I'm Not Listening to the Radio, The Great Divide, and People are Lonely, are just a few of the titles that I think give you a clue as to where our heads were at.
We moved to Austin at the height of the Bush era. We became adults during the War on Terror and The Great Recession. We watched as the hope of the early Obama administration morphed into endless drone wars and continued economic stagnation. We picked a drone for the front of our album cover because we felt it was one of the symbols that we felt best represented the modern age. There it is in all of its beguiling wonder and terror. We can do almost anything, but should we? Progress is no longer a straight ascension, but a choice of forks in the road. Perhaps it has always been that way.
We chose songs for this album that represented emotionally how we felt living in such a world.
If you feel the US has lost its moral political standing, if the TV and radio make your mind melt, if you work a meaningless job with obscene bosses, or if religion continues to seem something that was invented to bring meaning to a world long past, then this album is for you. I know, I'm not doing a great job of selling. You need smiles for that. Funnily enough at some point in this world I was a salesman. This record is for those that stand outside of the economic good times; or at the very least those that can see that many have been unfairly left out.
Again, this is not a dogmatic protest record, although we've got nothing against such things. Living with War is one of Ben and my favorite albums. But when Ben sings, "Only the losers know my name", you know what is making him feel that way. When I sing, "Clouds are shifting \ camera lens is wide \ it appears we are drifting \ across the great divide", hopefully with the rest of the lyrics you will get that I'm looking outwards and not in.
It may sound like I just described a dark and foreboding record. Although it starts that way sound-wise to a degree, we love the fun of rock n roll and pop too much. I'm Not Listening to the Radio Tonight was influenced by the unyielding light of African pop music. If We Never See Tomorrow has its roots in the summer pop of the Beach Boys to give you another example. We were also raised by the dark artists of comedy such as Morrissey, Lou Reed, and Leonard Cohen, amongst others. As the title of a Marah album goes, if you didn't laugh you'd cry.
We don't want this album to make you feel hopeless. Art and music are ways to communicate. Hopefully the creation of this piece will help us find other like-minded souls and help them find us. There is strength in numbers. If you can find one other soul that feels the way you do then you are not alone. The world can be a better place if only we can join together and make it so.
Perhaps I'm tying too many things to this record and already weighing it down. At the end of the day this is only a rock record. However, it is one that represents the way that we felt and still feel without shame. It is our lifeblood in sound. Once you hear it, it will be in your hands, as the meaning is always with the listener and not the creator. We did our best, which is all one can do…
Ahhh…where was I on the making of this thing…
To be continued…
Lou Reed Lyrics Day 2: Bottoming Out
As I said yesterday, in honor of Lou Reed, every day this week I am going to pick a set of his lyrics and write a piece on them. Today I picked the lyrics Bottoming Out from his excellent Legendary Hearts album:
Bottoming Out
I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle
Down this winding country road
And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
Where last week I fell off
There's still some oil by the old elm tree
And a dead squirrel that I hit
But if I hadn't left, I would have struck you dead
So I took a ride instead
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
My doctor says, she hopes I know
How lucky I can be
After all it wasn't my blood
Mixed in the dirt that night
But this violent rage, turned inward
Can not be helped by drink
And we must really examine this and I say
I need another drink
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
I'm tearing down route 80 east
The sun's on my right side
I'm drunk, but my vision's good
And I think of my child bride
And on the left in shadows
I see something that makes me laugh
I aim that bike at the fat pothole
Beyond that underpass
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
Bottoming out
The thing that often gets overlooked by the casual Lou Reed listener is how absolutely drop dead funny he could be. In reading these lyrics one might not think of humor their first interpretation. Lyrics, unlike poetry, are only half the story. How they interact with the music and the delivery of the singer can change their meaning. This song to brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. I find this song to be full of the blackest humor. Lou Reed understood the divine comedy of life.
For those of you that don't think Lou Reed had a sense of humor, when he released Berlin, what many consider to be the most depressing album of all time, he said he was, "just having fun". The thing about Lou Reed was that he played everything straight. Some songwriters write songs that are silly, they wear their humor on their sleeves. Also the way they sing something might express joy and humor in their delivery. Lou Reed kept everything real close to his breast. I actually believe this is one of his greatest strengths as a singer. Many people say that Lou can't sing. In a technical sense, they could often be right. However, when it comes to conveying something through song, for making the stories of his lyrics come alive, he was one of the very best singers. Try to sing the above song and make it come across the way he did. Even if you are a great singer, I bet you can't do it. His voice was the perfect instrument for conveying his truth.
The music to this song is upbeat. It's a rock n roll pop song. He purposely chose in arranging this song to put these "dark" lyrics to music that was the opposite. I believe there is some clue there in his intention.
Soldiers in war often express "gallows humor". They make jokes about completely inappropriate things, even death, to keep sane in the face of madness. I believe that Lou was often doing something similar. You know the old saying: If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.
When you watch a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm it is full of humor based on the problems of human behavior. The situations Larry David finds himself in are extreme, but we can often relate to them in some way. He often says the things that we are thinking, but can't say.
Everyone has had a bad day. This song is a bad day taken to the extreme. In taking a normal situation that everyone has dealt with and painting an extreme version of it, Lou is creating a situation where absurdity arises. There is a famous quote that is, "Comedy is tragedy plus time." I would add distance to that equation. Lou Reed, by presenting us with distance to the above situation, through the distance of artistic perspective, allows us to see the humor and absurdity of the narrator's situation. It doesn't hurt that again he has put these words to a bouncy little tune that helps highlight this.
Whenever I am having a bad day I put this song on and my spirits can't help but brighten. It is in particular some of the darkest lines that I find the funniest given the context of the song. It is the way he sings bottoming out with almost no emotion. Maybe I just have a strange sense of humor!
But I don't think that is totally the case. I'm sure many of you have had a day that has gone from one bad thing to another. All of a sudden it reaches a point of such horrible ridiculousness that you find yourself laughing. Whatever that emotion is, that part of the human spirit that allows us to laugh when things go wrong, Lou Reed must have instinctually understood. He turned it into a song. It's easy to write a song that is just sad or just happy. But try to write something that conveys those kinds of emotions that are in between, that you feel, but can't quite describe. Lou made a whole career out of it. He was a poet and an artist. He was also a funny motherfucker.
This is technically going up a little early. But what the hell, it's after midnight on the east coast.
