If you're familiar with that ubiquitous Marianne Williamson quotation ("Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure …"), you might also have come across its slightly more reserved cousin: "If someone talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have kicked them out of your life a long time ago."
The irony of those feel-good sayings, which can be found on many a Facebook wall, Twitter bio, and Pinterest board, is that people who believe that they deserve validation are likely already on the right track. (Much quieter are people whose insides shrivel at the thought of laying any claim to Williamson's "power beyond measure," or even basic kindness—not necessarily out of cynicism, but due to a single-minded conviction in their own worthlessness.)
As journalist Anneli Rufus sees it, the self-hating person inhabits a world of muted despair that prevents him or her from ever feeling at ease in the world. In Unworthy: How to Stop Hating Yourself, Rufus mines the intractable, negative perceptions that she and others have held about themselves, and analyzes the emergence of self-esteem as a goal that feels unattainable for many people. I spoke with Rufus about what it's like to live with low self-esteem in an esteem-driven world, and how people who experience self-loathing can establish healthier relationships with themselves and others in their lives.
After reading your stories and those of some of the people you interview, it seems to me like admitting to other people that you experience self-loathing can be just as fraught as experiencing it. So what made you decide to write this book?
Watching how much my mother suffered. She died in 2011 without "recovering" from her low self-esteem. I gave her a memorial service that 75 people attended, and people kept coming up to me and saying, "Your mother was wonderful." They were sobbing and I thought, my god, if Mom was here she would still argue, "Well, they don't know the real me." That experience, plus my own life, made me realize how much so many people suffer with this.
In the book you talk about the historical trajectory of self-esteem, which wasn't always such an oft-discussed thing. What was life like for you in those pre-self-affirmation days?
I was in elementary school in Los Angeles around 1966. The world was waking up and there were hippies and such, but for kids it was still the old days. It was a time of discipline, obedience, and respect for grown-ups. Kids' "selves" were not a topic. Self-esteem was just a word; it was alien, abstract. Los Angeles in the seventies was a very looks-centric time, just as this is a very looks-centric time, and I felt like an ugly outsider—but in those days it was pretty common for girls to say things like, "Oh, I'm the most hideous person at the beach!" Everyone did that.
It wasn't until college when I met the person that I'm now married to that I started to feel like an extreme case. He was very complimentary and absolutely did not understand when I argued with him. He'd tell me, "Your problem is not that you are ugly or a bad person. Your problem is that you think that." But like a typical person with low self-esteem, I refused to accept it until very recently.
What is reality for someone who is self-loathing? Because in a sense, the self-loathing person believes that he or she is the realist.
It depends on the person and what their fixation is. Some people think they're really stupid; some people think they're weak; some people think they're ugly. Whatever it is, it colors their daily life. You dress as fast as possible to hide your body without looking at yourself in the mirror because you can't stand it—and then you've put on an outfit that maybe isn't the most flattering. You become fake because you're covering up your own self-loathing, and you can't really pay attention to your spouse, or your boss, or the friend that you're going out with, since part of you is absorbed in, how do I look? How do I sound? Terrible?
That reminds me of an anecdote in the book about the man whose partner moved across the country to be with him, but he still felt insecure about their relationship. He sent text messages and left Post-It notes all over the house and in his boyfriend's car asking, "Do you love me?" over and over again. How does self-loathing affect people's relationships, whether familial, or romantic, or professional?
The way I see it, we make ourselves hard to love. There's a certain negative narcissism aspect to having low self-esteem. People who totally adore themselves are hard to love because they only see themselves and it's hard for them to care about you. But people who hate themselves are also hard to love because they, too, are so self-absorbed that their own needs and miseries obstruct their view of another person. You can't see into someone else's heart if you are so wrapped up in yourself. If you're sitting there, sobbing on the bed and there's someone beside you saying, "But I love you," and you reply, "No! I'm so worthless!" you're basically saying 'screw you' to that person. If we can have compassion for ourselves, then we are inviting ourselves to have compassion for others, which makes relationships fairer and more equal.
I've seen how difficult it is for people that are in relationships with a person who hates [himself]. They feel that they are not being listened to, and that their care and concern for the self-loathing person is being rejected. And sometimes they say, "I've been reassuring you for 20 years. I've got no more for you." So we're at risk of doing that and, thus, at risk of being alone—which is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Gulfstream plans to increase employment at its Appleton, WI., facility by approximately 100 positions in the next year to support growing volume in completions work for Gulfstream large-cabin aircraft, including the recently certified G650. The site currently has approximately 725 employees, including nearly 425 technicians.
"With the certification of the G650, Gulfstream Appleton will increase its delivery rates to meet the needs of customers," said Dennis Stuligross, senior vice president, Operations, Gulfstream, in a Thursday news release. "This increase requires adding jobs ranging from Materials to Engineering positions. With this expansion of the Gulfstream Appleton site, we can further grow our business and help support this great community."
Gulfstream Appleton is home to a completions center and service center. It has approximately 275,000 square feet of hangar, shop and support space.
Completions work includes the design, selection and installation of the cabin configuration and layout, furniture, seats, carpets and sidewall treatments, entertainment and communication systems, and galley and lavatory fixtures.
Gulfstream Appleton is located at the Outagamie Country Regional Airport (KATW), just 90 miles north of Milwaukee ... not to mention just 20 miles from Oshkosh.

Teton Park Road Now Open for Non-Motorized Spring Season Activities
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Grand Teton road crews punch through deep & dense snow to open the Teton Park Road for the 2014 season.
photo: Grand Teton National Park
Contact: Public Affairs Office, 307.739.3393
Grand Teton National Park road crews cut through the deep snowpack on the Teton Park Road between the Taggart Lake parking area and Signal Mountain Lodge—a distance of 15 miles— and completed this portion of the annual spring plowing on Friday, April 4. The Teton Park Road has now melted down to pavement and is currently open to non-motorized recreation such as walking, roller-blading, and biking. However, road crews are still in the process of clearing the Jenny Lake scenic loop road, as well as other auxiliary roads and wayside areas.
Because the annual snow removal operations are still underway, anyone using the Teton Park Road for springtime recreation must be alert for and be prepared for sharing the road with heavy equipment, large trucks, and other park vehicles that will regularly travel this roadway as the spring opening continues. As a safety precaution, visitors to this area must stay at least 500 feet back from the large rotary snow removal equipment at work.
The annual plowing of the Teton Park Road is a process that can take several weeks to complete, depending on the depth and consistency of the snowpack. Due to the exceptionally deep and dense snowpack this year, snow removal on just the principal Teton Park Road has taken the better part of two weeks. Still, springtime visitors can look forward to access on this park road for more than three weeks before it opens for the summer travel season. The Teton Park Road will open again to private vehicle use on Thursday, May 1, 2014.
Visitors are reminded that dogs are permitted on the Teton Park Road. Owners are required to keep pets on a leash no longer than six feet in length, and are required to use waste disposal bags to pick up after their dogs. Mutt Mitt stations are in place at the Taggart Lake parking area.
REMINDER: Bears are now out of hibernation and active again in Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Consequently, park visitors need to be alert for bears and take appropriate precautions when using the Teton Park Road and other park areas. Visitors should exercise common sense and good judgment, stay alert, and follow these recommended safety tips while biking, hiking or spring skiing:
People should also report any bear sightings or sign to the nearest visitor center or ranger station. Timely reporting will help park staff to provide important safety messages about bear activity to other visitors.
Did You Know?
Did you know that Uinta ground squirrels, sometimes mistaken for prairie dogs, hibernate up to eight months a year? These animals leave their burrows in March or April to inhabit the sagebrush flats, but may return by the end of July.

The major wireless operators around the world will deploy Firefox OS because they hope to constrain Google's emerging dominance in the ecosystem wars and monetization. The operators want a bigger piece of the economic pie than Google is offering them. Google takes 30% of the revenue in the Google Play store; the content creator gets 70% and the operator gets nothing except his monthly $20 or $30 mostly flat data fee.
Will the operators be successful in selling and monetizing Firefox OS? I am skeptical, but it will likely vary greatly from geography to geography. Google is on a major roll, with an epic onslaught of hardware, software and services slated for introduction between May and December 2013.
For example, Google will likely launch an epic attack against at least the U.S. wireless operators by offering free voice over IP (VoIP), including free SMS (already available) thanks to the more competitive LTE offerings becoming widely available later in 2013. This will be a huge blow to profitability of the wireless operators, and it will be an outright declaration of war between the operators and Google.
Make no mistake about it: Major operators such as AT&T and Verizon know what's coming from Google, just as the Germans knew what would eventually come across the English Channel on June 1944. The operators don't know the exact day in 2013 either, but they're trying to come up with a counter-move.This counter-move the wireless operators are plotting seems to be to deploy Firefox OS. I do not yet see how this move will succeed in the end, but we have not yet seen the full picture of their technology and strategy. When you have almost 70% market share, and you have further ecosystem monetization ambitions on the scale of Google, you have to be prepared for the players around you plotting to take you down. In this case, the latest move by the operators to try to cut down to size a major ecosystem giant will be to promote Firefox OS at the expense of Google. My bottom line: It is way too early to call this game but, generally speaking, I would not bet against Google right now. Whether you're another smartphone maker, or a wireless operator, Google has a huge offensive planned for May-December 2013 that will be as epic in the industry as D-Day was to the outcome of the Second World War. If you think the last one to eight years were interesting, you just wait until you see what's coming in the next one to eight months.

"We used this for the birth announcement of our sweet girl. They came out beautifully. I usually am a big fan of the pearl paper but I do feel that in this case it took away from the overall look."
"The card was beautiful and the changes that were suggested by the person doing the layout were just what the card needed."
"The cards I ordered came quicker than expected and were wonderful quality. Tinyprints was the only company I could find that had Holiday Cards that were also Birth Announcements."
"I used this as the birth announcement for my 2nd daughter... It was perfect!! My older daughter loved that she was officially making the announcement of her little sister's birth. Beautiful announcement, great quality! I received many compliments on this announcement."
"Although this product is listed as a "Winter Girl Birth Announcement" the minty color on the back was neutral enough for us to use it as an announcement for our son. As always, the quality I've come to expect from Tiny Prints is excellent and the company outdid themselves again. I love the "Pearl" finish and add that to all the cards I've ordered from the website; it added a great little something extra to this card as well."

The Internet, My teacher.
I am a woman aged 39. For the past 12 years I have been working in the area of HIV and AIDS. Our organization works with children and women that are living with HIV and also women in sex work. When the organization started I was a volunteer visiting women and children in their homes. I did not possess formal qualifications for the work I do. Through the internet I was able to gain knowledge and information on how to do my job better..
5 years after our organization was set up, we saw the need to reach out to women in sex work as we saw the lives that children were living. Again this was an area that we knew nothing upon. The internet helped with researching of similar projects and learning how they were implementing their work. The internet has been my classroom and my teacher.
Currently I am the organization's director. Whenever I need to learn about anything from recruiting of staff to skills in proposal writing the internet is my first port of call.
When looking for funders for our work, we search on the internet. Recently I managed to attend the Children's Symposium in Melbourne Australia. I managed to apply for sponsorship through the internet.
Yes indeed. There is a wealth of Knowledge which once tapped into can be used to change communities. No one now has an excuse for not knowing what other women are doing to overcome their challenges. The internet should be for all. thank you to all the experts that work tirelessly to make resources available online.
Women especially in Africa are quick to pass on knowledge. The more women that are empowered the better. Women are the ones with the job of teaching children, when they are empowered they can teach their children especially girl children to take pride in who they are and take their place in the world. When families are transformed it becomes easier to transform communities.
This story was written for World Pulse's Women Weave the Web Digital Action Campaign. Learn more »
all you say is true and the sad reality in our country is few women are able to access the internet and some whilst they can are unable to use the internet productively. all the same hands up for your persistence and good work. hope to connect more with you.
we may be powerless to stop an injustice but let there never be a time we fail to protest.
HIV sufferers
It is really not easy working with HIV patients...but the world needs AIDS social workers, doctors , activists and researchers. These patients need help and the continuous research into this frightening disease to be done till one day, a cure can be found, even a vaccine. The social stigma attached with HIV is not making this an easy task either. It is one that needs encouragement, courage and is of high noble cause.
Yes, Our Teacher
Dear Ethan,
You are right, the Internet is indeed our teacher. Reading your story reminded me of how i used the internet resources to do thesis while in school. And it is now also helping me alot in my organization. Now thanks to the internet again i am connecting with you. Weldone for the work you are doing. Keep it up. Cheers.
Nabiye Tal,
Founder/CEO- IEVAWC.

Early impressions: Samsung Gear Fit
April 11, 2014
Of the three wrist devices that Samsung announced earlier this year, the one that really jumped out at us was the Gear Fit. It's part fitness tracker, part smartwatch, and sports a wicked design with a curved display. The Gear Fit has touched down in Gizmagville, and, before we give you our full review, we have some initial thoughts.
Update: Our full Gear Fit review is now live.
While the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are pretty minor upgrades over the original Galaxy Gear, the Gear Fit is something altogether new. Instead of the Dick Tracy-like smartwatch design that those devices give you, the Gear Fit is more of a narrow band. We've seen some pretty silly gimmicks attached to curved and flexible displays, but this is the first device I've seen that knocks it out of the park. Samsung nailed the look and feel here.
That 1.84-in curved screen is gorgeous. It's sharp, colorful, and I just can't get enough of swiping my finger over that contoured slab of Gorilla Glass. You can also choose whether to view the screen horizontally or vertically. Horizontal looks better, and makes sense if you're wearing the Fit on the inside of your wrist. If you wear it on the outside, like a regular watch, then vertical is probably going to be more practical.
So what it does do? Well, we have a heart rate sensor on board – much like the Galaxy S5 and the two new Gear watches. The sensor sits on the inside of the Fit's main body, so it can tap into those veins pumping blood through your wrist. It's easy to measure, and appears to be accurate so far.
Like any good workout device, the Gear Fit also tracks steps. And if you want to combine the two sensors, the Fit's Exercise app tracks your progress and your heart rate at the same time. While you're tracking, a simple lift of your wrist will turn the screen on and show you the pertinent info.
One bonus that the Gear Fit gives you, that most other fitness devices don't, is notifications from your smartphone. Like full-fledged smartwatches, your Gear will vibrate and display new alerts on its screen. Unlike the Galaxy Gear, Gear 2, and Neo, there's no voice control. So if you want to reply to a message, you can only choose from some canned responses that you can customize on your phone. There's also no mic or speaker for taking phone calls on the Fit.
There isn't a lot going on besides that. It has built-in media controls, so you can do things like leave your phone in your pocket or on its charger while you stream music to a connected speaker. There's also a sleep tracker, which I haven't had a chance to try yet. Just remember that if you're planning on charging it at night, the sleep tracking feature won't do you much good. Samsung estimates that the Fit will last three to four days on a charge, and so far it appears to be draining pretty slowly.
It's too early to jump to conclusions, but so far I'd say the Gear Fit might hit a sweet spot for a lot of customers. It doesn't try too hard to replicate smartphone functionality. Just some basic fitness tracking, a second screen for notifications, and one hell of a cool design. Is that worth US$200? Stay tuned.
We'll have more on Samsung's new devices soon, including our full Gear Fit review. In the meantime, you can also check out our early Galaxy S5 impressions and our comparison of Samsung's first four wearables.Share
Easily the best fitness tracker/smartwatch out there at the moment. I thought about getting a Pebble before but the Gear Fit is just so much nicer... especially that screen..Aiden Richardson

We present a novel class of virtual reality input devices that combine pop through buttons with 6 DOF trackers. Compared to similar devices that use conventional buttons, pop through devices double the number of potential discrete interaction modes, since each button has two activation states corresponding to light and firm pressure. This additional state per button provides a foundation to address a range of shortcomings with conventional virtual environment input devices that includes reducing the physical dexterity required to perform interactions, reducing the cognitive complexity of some compound tasks, and enabling the design of less obtrusive devices without sacrificing expressive power. Specifically, we present two novel input devices: the FingerSleeve was designed to be minimally obtrusive physically, whereas the TriggerGun was designed to be physically similar to, yet more functional than a conventional hand-held trigger device. Further, we present a set of novel navigation and interaction techniques that leverage the capabilities of our pop through button devices to improve interaction quality, and provide insight into harnessing the potential of pop through buttons for other tasks. Finally, we discuss how we incorporated one of our devices into a real application.

Ocean Dragon
EUW, things are barely starting to function properly, or at least so it seems. You might never get an answer from the reds.

Earlier this year, cinnamon bun industrialists Cinnabon came out with their first savory snack ovation: The Pizzabon. The Pizzabon built upon preexisting Cinnabon technology, and was a stromboli-like pizza roll topped with cheese. Sadly, the Pizzabon was only introduced at Cinnabon's flagship Atlanta, Georgia, location. But Kotaku writer Mike Fahey was able to snack on it, and had this to say: "It's comforting and warm in the way the Cinnabon proper likes to imagine itself to be."

Mineral @ Saint Vitus - 9/4/14 (via BrooklynVegan Instagram)
Emo veterans Mineral were only around from 1994 to 1997, having broken up before the release of their second and final album, EndSerenading, but they're finally back and last night (9/4) they kicked off their first tour in 17 years at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus. (Following a surprise show in their hometown of Austin.) Each year it becomes increasingly clear that bands don't stay broken up, but Mineral is a band I really thought I would never see. I didn't discover them until they'd already broken up (and judging by the average age of the crowd last night, neither did many of the people in attendance), and they'd always just been a band whose brief career I considered to be a thing of the past. Something that would only live on through those two great records.
But Mineral are back, and from last night's show you'd think they never left. Some reunited bands just play to the fans, smiling on stage and inspiring long overdue singalongs (nothing wrong with that). Others look bored and make you wonder why they even reunited in the first place. But Mineral looked like they'd secretly been a band all these years. They didn't say anything sentimental on stage, didn't crack any jokes about how long it's been. If you didn't know any better you might have thought you were seeing a new band. They were tight, in the zone, and looked totally into the songs for their whole set. And actually it makes sense, because Mineral ended before they could ever tour in support of what many (myself included) consider their best album. There was definitely a sense that there was some unfinished business to be taken care of with the passion that was put into EndSerenading standouts like "Palisade" or "Unfinished" or "For Ivadell."
The influence Mineral's had over the years also rang loud and clear at last night's show. Just about any band from the last 15 years to mix emo and post-rock owes a hell of a lot to Mineral and seeing them live couldn't have made that any clearer. The beautiful, intertwining clean guitar parts leading into those huge crescendos basically sounded like the blueprint for anything from The Appleseed Cast's post-'90s output to Caspian to many of the current young bands on labels like Topshelf and Count Your Lucky Stars. And it's hard to imagine Mineral's pals Jimmy Eat World writing songs like "Table For Glasses" without the influence of EndSerenading. That record's influence is undeniable, but few bands can do it like Mineral proved they still can.
Though Mineral didn't say any of the sentimental stuff on stage, the crowd definitely did, with multiple people shouting "thank you Mineral!" throughout their set. Special guest opener Frank Turner also spoke plenty about his love for the band during his set, and he could be seen right up front in the crowd for theirs.
Evan Weiss' band Into It. Over It. opened last night as well, and will continue to do so for the rest of the tour (and for one of American Football's reunion shows). The tour continues with three more NYC shows, at Bowery Ballroom tonight (9/5), Saturday and Sunday, all three of which
are sold out. UPDATE: Tickets are back on sale for all three dates. You may want to act quick!
Setlist and a 17-minute video from last night below...

What's going on Thursday? (Mineral, Interpol, DJ Shadow, New Pornographers, Part Time, Lowest Form, Big Ups, more)
Mineral in Austin last week (more by Tim Griffin)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Mineral, Into It. Over It., Frank Turner @ Saint Vitus
One of the most beloved bands of emo's late '90s period, Mineral, are back for their first tour in 17 years, and the first tour since the release of their slowcore-leaning classic swan song, EndSerenading. Tonight's the first of four sold-out NYC shows, all of which are opened by newer emo band Into It. Over It. Frank Turner's playing a solo set as a special guest opener at this one as well.
The New Pornographers @ The Brill Building
The Canadian supergroup playing their terrific new album Brill Bruisers at the actual Brill Building... a match made in heaven. (Or Matador's marketing department, whichever.) You had to win tickets to this NPR-presented show but we hear it's a street-level storefront...if you're in the area around 8 PM, you might catch a glimpse.
Interpol, Luke Temple @ Bowery Ballroom
This is the second of three celebratory shows for locals-done-good Interpol around the release of their back-to-basics new album, El Pintor. Tuesday's show at The Met leaned heavy on the first two albums. Will Bowery get the same tonight?
Alt-J @ Rough Trade NYC
This past Tuesday, Alt-J debuted more than half of their new album at Le Poisson Rouge. Tonight they've got another intimate pre-release show here in NYC, and we can likely count on another big chunk of the new LP.
Sun Araw's Blazer Double Double, Highlife, Noveller, Psychic Reality, Blazer Sound System @ Baby's All Right
It's the second of two nights for experimentalist Sun Araw at Baby's All Right tonight. Strong support too, we especially recommend catching drone guitarist Noveller.
Part Time, Sea Lions, Wax Witches @ Glasslands
San Francisco's Part Time walk a similar line to Ariel Pink, taking soft rock and synth pop, twisting it and making it their own. Their new tour single, "My Jamey," is ridiculously catchy. It is disappointing that scheduled tourmates Gap Dream pulled out before the trek began, but they got a good replacement in Oxnard, CA's charmingly shambolic The Sea Lions. This should be a fun show.
DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Edan, Paten Locke @ Irving Plaza
Two veteran hip hop DJs and collaborators DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist are currently on the road for a tour where they're DJing exclusively from Afrika Bambaataa's personal vinyl collection. Tonight's the first of two shows at Irving Plaza this week, with strong support coming from psych rapper Edan and his collaborator Paten Locke.
Big Ups, Fiasco, Heeney, Turbosleaze @ Shea Stadium
This is a cool bill of the (relatively) old and new, with Big Ups currently being one of the more fun local bands to see around NYC, and the recently-reunited Fiasco who were one of the more fun local bands to see during their initial run.
Crazy Spirit, Dawn of Humans, The Lowest Form, Hank Wood & The Hammerheads @ The Acheron
If you're into raw, dirty and ruthless punk, this bill showcases some of the strongest stuff in that genre that NYC has to offer teaming up with the UK's The Lowest Form. Expect male nudity (Dawn of Humans), organs (Hank Wood), and just general craziness (everyone).
Kevin Drumm & Jason Lescalleet, C Spencer Yeh @ Trans Pecos
Drone masters Kevin Drumm and Jason Lescalleet's new collaborative album is a very strong release for the genre, and tonight they celebrate it with a release show in NYC. Support comes from violinist C Spencer Yeh.
Social Distortion, The Whigs, Jonny Two Bags @ Starland Ballroom
Veteran punk rockers Social Distortion don't hit NYC on their current tour, but they'll be nearby for a NJ show tonight and a Long Island show tomorrow.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Frank Turner reveals self as Mineral special guest (and super fan); Mineral share unreleased track (listen)
Frank Turner & Mineral's Chris Simpson (10 months ago)
Frank Turner announced on Twitter today that he will in fact be flying in to NYC to be the secret guest opening for Mineral at Saint Vitus, as part of a trip where he'll also see Mineral three times. That's one way to guarantee yourself a ticket!
Also today: Mineral premiered "Parking Lot (Alternate Version)" over at Stereogum...
This alternate recording, captured during the album's 1995 studio sessions, can be found on the band's upcoming double CD compilation Mineral - 1994-1998. This double CD features remastered editions of both The Power Of Failing and 1998's EndSerenading, as well as previously unreleased songs and bonus tracks. Each remastered album will also be re-released on double DMM 180 gram vinyl, and both the LPs and Mineral - 1994-1998 will arrive in stores on October 21, 2014 via Arena Rock Recording Co.Listen to that alternate version below.
Speaking of "Parking Lot" and not-secrets, The Parking Lot was Mineral's secret band name in Austin last week.
All upcoming Mineral tour dates and the new track, below...

Mineral in Austin last week (more by Tim Griffin)
The reunited Mineral played a surprise hometown show (pics) in Austin last week, and their tour begins in proper this week with four sold out NYC shows. The first (and smallest) happens on Thursday (9/4) at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn. Like most of the tour, Into It. Over It. opens, but the venue's website is also advertising a "Very Special Guest." Mineral adds, "If you have tickets to our show at St Vitus on 9/4 we suggest getting there early for a special treat." Who do you think it will be?
UPDATE: It's Frank Turner.
The tour continues with a 3-night run at Bowery Ballroom from Friday (9/5) through Sunday (9/7). All dates are listed below...

The Kills at Governors Ball 2014 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
The Kills were last in NYC for Governors Ball and they've since added more dates which brings them back here for a benefit show in the fall. That show is The Open Road Aperture Foundation Benefit Party, which is a tribute to photographer/filmmaker Robert Frank, and happens on October 21 at Terminal 5. In addition to The Kills' short set, there will be music by Alec Soth, Joe Purdy and Billy Bragg (whose tour also hits NYC twice before that). Tickets, starting at $150, are on sale now.
The tour also includes a Halloween show in LA with Queens of the Stone Age (who play the NYC-area this week). The Kills haven't released an album since 2011's Blood Pressures, but they're reportedly working on a followup. Alison's other band The Dead Weather (with Jack White and a QOTSA member) have a new LP on the way too.
All Kills dates are listed, with a video, below...

Iron Maiden at Austin's 360 Amphitheatre in 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson had some choice words about punk music in an interview with The Guardian a few days back. In a Q&A with Frank Turner (who definitely has some punk roots), Dickinson compares punk and metal in relation to the cultural mainstream and the "art establishment," then goes on to imply punk musicians were a bunch of no-talent hacks (because apparently it's still 1980). Here's an excerpt:
The closest the "art establishment" ever came to embracing metal was punk. The reason they embraced punk was because it was rubbish and the reason they embraced rubbish was because they could control it. They could say: "Oh yeah, we're punk so we can sneer at everybody. We can't play our fucking instruments, but that means we can make out that this whole thing is some enormous performance art." Half the kids that were in punk bands were laughing at the art establishment, going: "What a fucking bunch of tosspots. Thanks very much, give us the money and we'll fuck off and stick it up our nose and shag birds." But what they'd really love to be doing is being in a heavy metal band surrounded by porn stars."Burn.
Not to say there was any animosity between Dickinson and Turner. Turner is a self-professed big fan of Iron Maiden and the two will be playing the same stage at the Sonisphere festival, where noted pilot Dickinson will pilot a vintage World War I airplane--the model used by The Red Baron--in a simulated dogfight above the audience before Iron Maiden plays. There are some other memorable quotes, including some words of wisdom about fame:
I'm not interested in being famous. Fame is the excrement of creativity, it's the shit that comes out the back end, it's a by-product of it.I'm not interested in being famous. Fame is the excrement of creativity, it's the shit that comes out the back end, it's a by-product of it.And a funny story about Maiden's legendary Rock in Rio show:
At Rock in Rio, the first time we played it in '84, I was playing this nice guitar and the monitors just were not to my liking. It was only 500,000 people at the biggest rock gig in the world ever, we'd had three days of madness down there, proper Beatlemania, and we run onstage and I'm thinking: "Fucking hell, it sounds like shit!" I run over to the monitor desk and I'm yelling at the guy: "Your monitors suck, you cunt!" and I smashed the guitar in half over the top of his monitor desk to make the point, which didn't really solve anything. First of all I'd destroyed a perfectly good guitar, and the monitors were still shit. So I go back onstage in front of 500,000 people and kick the monitors off the front of the stage, so now there are no monitors. Worse than bad monitors is no monitors.Read the whole interview at The Guardian.
watch Interpol, Tanlines, and other bands get interviewed, insulted by SNL's Vanessa Bayer at Governors Ball (video)
The dust has settled at Governors Ball where a whole bunch of artists performed over three days at Randall's Island. (Have you seen our pics?) Among those on the scene was media consultant Janessa Slater (a dead ringer for SNL's Vanessa Bayer) who interviews the likes of Interpol, Tanlines, Frank Turner, and others...as well as random Governors Ball attendees. It's vaguely Ali G and, though most bands seem in on the joke, she definitely gets in some good digs. Watch it over two parts below.
In related news, if you were at Governors Ball and lost anything (like maybe your keys or sunglasses), there's a Lost & Found posted to GovBall's Facebook that you can check.

Vampire Weekend / Interpol / James Blake / Pikachu
"New York cares." That's what the audience sang with Interpol's Paul Banks during the city indie anthem "NYC" as Governors Ball 2014 neared its close on Sunday. Throughout the weekend some of the city's finest bands had made a return to festival stages, secured headliner statuses and played the most memorable sets of the fest for home crowds. For Interpol, it has just announced a new album, played two excellent new tracks and Sunday's show at Governors Ball was the band's "First home show for us in a long time." A set heavy on the classics, Interpol played through "Obstacle 1," "Slow Hands," "Narc," "Evil" and "Stella Was a Driver and She Was Always Down." [Reverb]The 2014 Governors Ball music festival wrapped up yesterday (6/8) after two other days of music on NYC's Randall's Island. The third and final day had sets from Vampire Weekend, Interpol (who along with The Strokes and Jack White's set featuring White Stripes songs, brought us back over a decade), James Blake, The Kills, J. Cole, The Head and the Heart, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and more. Luckily, with today's rain and Thursday's, the weather held out for GovBall all weekend (unlike last year). Pictures of day 3 are in this post.
Day 1 HERE. Day 2 HERE. More of day 3 below...

Flogging Molly in Chicago in 2012 (more by James Richards IV)
The concert cruises just keep on... cruisin'. Like Weezer, Motorhead, Mad Decent and Holy Ship, Celtic punks Flogging Molly will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day in 2015 with the Salty Dog Cruise, which leaves from the coast of Miami on March 13 and continues through March 16, hitting the Bahamas twice in between.
Joining Flogging Molly for this cruise will be gypsy punk party animals Gogol Bordello, melodic punk faves The Bronx's mariachi-themed altar ego Mariachi El Bronx, UK folk punk Frank Turner, fellow Celtic punks The Tossers and The Real McKenzies, ska/rocksteady vets Hepcat and more. It's sure to be a cruise you won't remember, and luckily no designated drivers will be needed. You can book a cabin now.

Motörhead / Chance the Rapper / Little Dragon / Toy Dolls
However, Sunday's lineup thankfully featured some guitar-brandishing acts, besides Motörhead, who proved that rock is not dead at Coachella -- or in general. For instance, British punk veterans the Toy Dolls pulled a respectable crowd to the Mojave Tent (opposite the very different Calvin Harris's set) and kept a proper counter-clockwise, Doc-Martens-kicking-up-dust slam pit going at full churn throughout their high-energy performance. "Do you think I'm getting too old for this?" spiky-haired frontman Michael "Olga" Algar asked the crowd. It was likely a rhetorical question, but fans ceased their slam-dancing just long enough to shout back, "Noooooo!" - [Yahoo! Music]The first weekend of Coachella 2014 wrapped up Sunday night (4/13) with dance music and Arcade Fire, but there was lots of other stuff going on too. Motörhead, with Lemmy back in action after some health issues, was there to show them how it's done and brought out Slash for a few songs; punk pranksters Toy Dolls and indie rock vets Superchunk both played a high energy set that would tire bands 20 years their junior; and Chicago's Chance the Rapper brought out, um, Justin Beiber.
There were also Swedish pop charmers Little Dragon, Australia's very talented Courtney Barnett, photoshy North Carolinians Neutral Milk Hotel, industrial-techno outfit Factory Floor, and lots lots more. Pictures from Coachella weekend 1, day 3 are in this post.
Check out day 1 pics HERE and day 2 pics HERE, and Arcade Fire's day 3 headlining set HERE. More pics from day 3 below...

Beck / Explosions in the Sky / Tricky
Tasty textures, rocking drum fills, and a dazzling light show were just three of the reasons why Texan post-rockers Explosions in the Sky performed what was likely the best set Osheaga 2013 had seen thus far. Beginning and ending as a quintet, with three guitars, one bassist, and a drummer, the instrumental rockers proved they didn't need vocals to drive their lengthy songs, with all the guitarists playing clear, calculated riffs to provide ample sources of melody.Montreal's 2013 Osheaga Festival continued on Saturday (8/3), after kicking off a day earlier. We caught Beck, Explosions in the Sky, Tegan & Sara, Tricky, Stars, and more, which you can check out pictures of in this post. Other bands that played (who we didn't get shots of) include Bob Mould, The Breeders, Angel Haze, Wild Nothing, Deap Vally, and more.
During the middle of the set, touring bassist Carlos Torres stepped offstage, and guitarist Michael James picked up the bass for some fast and furious picking. The songs were seven- to ten-minute-long soundscapes that shifted and evolved, never getting stale, and the band navigated through any changes expertly. The band members engaged in no banter between songs, instead allowing the denouement of one song to slowly transform into the intro of the next, but the visual spectacle was present in the form of the lights, bursts of colour that accentuated the music.

We were just talking about Brooklyn's The So So Glos, who released their pop punk-y new album, Blowout, performed on Letterman, and are currently on tour with Titus Andronicus. That tour doesn't hit NYC (Titus plays a free NYC show in August though), but we said it probably wouldn't be long before The So So Glos announce their own NYC show.

Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/10) at 10 AM.

ALSO: Adele's Bond theme, Micachu, Raveonettes, RDIO, AlunaGeorge, Claire Chase, Divine Fits, the Hobbit + more
It seemed inevitable that Adele would be tapped to do a Bond theme and here we are with Skyfall. The movie actually looks like it might be good!

A lyric video of the song is at the bottom of this post. (you can also buy it on iTunes)

|MasterCard Wins Injunction Against Visa
Issuers Free to Terminate Visa Debit Agreements
PURCHASE, N.Y., June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Federal Judge Barbara Jones ruled yesterday that Visa's Settlement Service Fee ("SSF"), implemented in the wake of the settlement of the merchant lawsuit in 2003, was unlawful and must be repealed, MasterCard reported today.
"This is a significant win for MasterCard and its customers," said Noah J. Hanft, MasterCard general counsel. "With this roadblock out of the way, financial institutions will not be deterred by this coercive fee and can make decisions based on their best judgment about quality of service, strength of brand and other competitive factors that benefit their cardholders." Mr. Hanft continued, "Banks that were prevented from fully evaluating MasterCard's debit offering because of the SSF will now be permitted to terminate their agreements with Visa in order to issue MasterCard debit cards."
In addition to requiring that Visa repeal the SSF, Judge Jones also issued an order allowing all of Visa's top 100 debit issuers, with Visa debit agreements that were signed while the SSF was in place, to terminate such agreements in the event that they enter into a new agreement with MasterCard to issue debit cards on MasterCard's network. In the coming months, all issuing financial institutions in the United States must be notified of the remedy in Judge Jones' decision.
Judge Jones found that the SSF effectively prevented Visa's top 100 debit issuers from issuing on MasterCard's network. Mr. Hanft said Visa's intention to put in place a coercive fee to block issuers from making independent brand decisions was unmasked by the Court through extensive evidence, including Visa's own internal documents.
