The Eli Young Band brings a taste of Red Dirt music to the forefront of Country music. The band has an upbeat and distinct sound that has caught on quickly on a national scale. EYB saw mild success through the years touring on Jet Black and Jealous and hit a major stride with its most recent album, Life At Best, featuring the hits "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" and ACM "Song of the Year," "Crazy Girl."
The Eli Young Band has now reached a new height, opening Kenny Chesney's current tour (which is hitting mostly stadiums). CityBeat was able to catch up with band drummer Chris Thompson to get the band's feeling on its new found success and life on tour with Kenny. The tour comes to Cincy tonight at Riverbend Music Center for a sold-out stop (the tour moves to Crew Stadium in Columbus on Saturday night). It is truly the most impressive tour in Country music.
CityBeat: How did the tour come about with Kenny Chesney?
Chris Thompson: A lot of people don't know this but Kenny is really involved in who he picks to go on tour with him. In a lot of other tours, a record label will put someone on the bill or management will partner up with other management to find a tour that works with that kind of artist, but Kenny is super hands-on.
Two years ago at the Academy of Country Music Awards, we were nominated for "Song of the Year" and so was Kenny, and we actually beat him, we won the category. I guess shortly after, there was a text going around from Kenny to his management, "Who are these guys that beat me?" and "I want to find out more about them." He started getting into our music and shortly after we got the phone call that we were invited to go out on tour with him.
It's just a huge honor. Like I was saying, he hand picks the folks that are out here on the road with him. It's the biggest tour in Country music and we are just happy to be here.
CB: I was there the night you guys won the "Song of the Year" award. I was so happy for you guys. I know you have worked very hard over the years. What was the highlight of CMA for the band this year in Nashville?
CT: We were only there for a couple hours really. We flew in that morning and did a signing for two or three hours and then had a couple meetings. Then, we were out of town.
We have been going to CMA Music Fest for seven or eight years now. Back in the day we would stay for three or four days and play a show or two and be able to hang and meet as many people as we could. It seems like more and more nowadays, especially with the tours we have been on and our headlining tours, we are only able to get in for a day and get out.
It is always fun to do the signings because you meet people from all over the country and from all over the world really who love Country music. They are so excited to meet you. They are die hard fans. They bring pictures from five years ago when we met. It's just cool that Country music does that. We are the only genre of music that has anything like that where fans can go and interact directly with the artists and have one-on-one face time with them.
CB: Tell me a little bit about "Drunk Last Night," the new single.
CT: I think "Drunk Last Night" is a lyric we can all relate to. When we all first heard the song, we were like, "Yes, this is a song for us."
A lot of people hear a title and automatically think it's a drinking song. We went through some of that with "Crazy Girl." A lot of people saw the title and went "Oh, I know what this song is about," and I think they were wrong.
I think people will find this is not the standard drinking song. It is all about, I hate to sum it up as drunk dialing, but it is kind of like the thought of doing that and alcohol feeding that desire a little bit more than in daily life.
It is also a song that we went in the studio and recorded (and) as soon as we finished the session, we could go out and play (it) live right now because it's a great track, it's rocking, it's in our wheelhouse and we actually did. We started playing it at the very beginning of the Chesney tour before it was even picked as a single. The crowd really seemed to dig it and now here it is, going to be a single. Good stuff.
CB: Do you guys know or do you have a feeling when you have a hit or when you hear a hit presented to you?
CT: Yeah. I think sometimes you hear a song, sometimes people say the song gives them chills and they know that's the one. Sometimes you get that feeling in your gut. When you hear a song sometimes, you write a lyric and you feel that, it is almost like that feeling of falling in love. Your chest kind of swells.
When multiple people feel that way at the same spot or for the same song, then I don't know if anybody can guarantee a hit, but you know that it is at least a lyric or a song that people can relate to and I think typically good songs are universal in that sort of way.
CB: I loved your "The Cuss Jar" video — I could buy a house if I implemented that process. I wanted to know if you had bought anything fun with the money?
CT: No, actually I think that era ended. The jar got too full and I think we used that jar for laundry money one day when we stopped somewhere on the road and had a few days off and emptied the whole thing for band and crew's laundry. Then we got too lazy to keep up with it.
CB: What has been your craziest tour story recently?
CT: I think playing Cowboys Stadium in Dallas on the Chesney tour was probably the craziest thing because we are from Dallas and we have played every tiny bar around the stadium. To just get up on stage at the biggest stadium in America was totally wild. All of our families were there; it was craziness.
CB: That's such a special moment, I am sure you have plenty of those all the time. Do you do anything special yourself to keep the tour memories? Do you take photos or journals? Some bands blog or journal and do things to keep it fresh.
CT: Yeah, we have been fortunate on this tour, since the beginning of this year, we have had a guy out on the road with us that has started doing social media. Mainly he is taking pictures. Since January, this whole thing has been documented and we really appreciate that.
It is definitely hard for us to get good photos when we are on stage playing, when we are really in the moment, because we are playing, so he is out there doing that. This is the biggest tour we have ever done and just the momentum that this year is building, we are just happy about that.
CB: What does a typical day look like for you?
CT: On the Chesney tour when we are doing stadiums like we are doing today, we will go out and do a tailgating event, at 1 or so in the afternoon, we will all get into some golf carts and we will go out to where all the fans are tailgating and they will bombard us with jello shots and beer bongs and the local foods they have.
We hang out with them for an hour or two then we will start doing radio events where we will play a couple songs acoustic, sitting on our bus or backstage for various winners. Then we will do a meet and greet for about 60-100 people. Then, we will grab a bite to eat around then. Then we hit the stage and rock out for about an hour.
After that, we will go hang out with some radio folks or some friend that are in town and wind down about the time Kenny hits the stage so we can watch him. It's pretty cool. It's pretty unreal.
CB: If you could trade places for anyone for about a month, who would it be?
CT: Right now it feels like we are living the dream. I think the four of us are really happy with what is going on in our careers right now. We have had some national success. It feels like we have broken out of being a regional band and it feels like we are on the cusp of something more than that. It's a great time for Eli Young Band and it is important for us to enjoy this. I probably wouldn't want to trade places with anyone right now.
CB: What can the fans look for from you guys tonight in Cincinnati?
CT: We try to always bring a high-energy show. We were playing a show last night and there was this older gentleman almost in front row sitting in his chair arms crossed and it looked like he wasn't really enjoying himself. About halfway through our set he leaned over to his wife and he points at us and he goes, "Those guys are workin' up there." Then he smiled real big.
We want to bring that energy. We want to get on stage and have a good time and fire up the crowd. We go on right after Kacey Musgraves. Kacey is real cool and laidback and all that when she does her thing and it's great. Then we get to come in and kick the audience in the butt a little bit.
During our set we have some new music in there and some cover songs I think gets the crowd up and clapping. After that Eric (Church) comes up and burns it down. Then Kenny Chesney comes out and the place goes nuts.
Last night, Cincinnati's Walk the Moon hosted an album release show at New York City's Mercury Lounge in honor of their full-length debut for RCA Records. To promote the record on a bit of a wider scale, the quartet also performed on The Late Show with David Letterman. The band played its signature tune, "Anna Sun," which has been named "song of the summer" two years running and, therefore, deserves a ranking on the list of all-time songs of summer.
WtM's appearance on The Late Show also elicited some nostalgia from the host. Letterman introduced the band as "from the Queen City, Cincinnati, Ohio … home of Oscar Robertson and your Cincinnati Royals." Lettterman grew up in Indiana and has talked about his affinity for Cincinnati (and, particularly, its sports teams, including our one-time NBA franchise) frequently.
After the tune, Letterman seemed to enjoy the group so much, he joked with them, "Now wait a minute — during your song, we made some calls and we've arranged for you guys to move from Cincinnati and live here at the YMCA."
Walk the Moon killed it. Look ma — no face paint?! Here's the video:
We've written a bit in the past about the new film-meets-music "One Shot Music Video" series, beautifully shot, black-and-white short films of various local musical acts shot at the historic Emery Theatre (which is back in action as a functional venue this weekend). Shot by world renowned photographer Michael Wilson with audio help from the musical duo Pop Empire, the clips are filmed in one continuous take (thus the name).
The project has started to take shape and is on a roll now. Pop Empire's Cameron Cochran reports that the series is now named for the venue — "The Emery Sessions" — and will be comprised of footage from 10 artists, all shot at the theater. It's a great way to not only spotlight local music, but also show off the theater in a great light.
Wilson and Pop Empire have completed a couple of videos for Daniel Martin Moore for the first of the series. The second in the series is Over the Rhine (longtime compadres of Wilson's, who has shot OTR album covers and promo shots — including the one above — since the band's very beginning). OTR is familiar with the surroundings; the band played the "preview party" hosted by The Requiem Project which re-introduced the 100-year-old theater to locals late last year.
Here's a clip of Over the Rhine's Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist performing "The Laugh of Recognition" from the twosome's latest album, The Long Surrender. (Click over to local blog Each Note Secure to check out another clip from the project.)
Cochran also runs the all-free, all-digital "record label" The Recording Label, which has issued stellar recordings by The Kickaways, Vacation, Sacred Spirits and Pop Empire. He says working on "The Emery Sessions" inspired him to give the label a more local-specific name. The Recording Label is now called Cincinnati Recording Service. Click here for the new site.
And here are a few words from Cochran on the Sessions and the label:
If we are consuming light then sound is accompanied by sight. Many musical performers understand this concept and will incorporate a visual component to their audio performance. The idea behind the "One Shot Music Video" is to approach music from the opposite direction. The audience approaches the music from a visual perspective first because whether they know it or not the first performance they see is the photographer's. It is the photographer's eye that navigates them through the musical performance. The hidden live performance is the one done with the camera.
The Emery Theatre was the perfect place to begin our exploration of this relationship between listening and watching live musical performances. Each musician we have recorded and that we are going to record have a love for this amazing space and understands what the Emery Theatre means to our great city of Cincinnati. It is perhaps our own experiences working in this theatre and the pride that has developed for our hometown of Cincinnati that inspired us to change the name of The Recording Label to Cincinnati Recording Service. This name change is also a tip of the hat to another person who loved his city as well as the power that American music has to bring people together, Memphis' very own Sam Philips.
The air seems sweeter here in the front of the website, the sun a little brighter and the deadlines a little more immediate, but as Uncle Ben once reminded Peter Parker, with great power comes great responsibility. So here we are in relatively short order with a batch of new reviews and a few more older titles in my continuing quest to revisit the deserving releases from the not-so-waning months of 2011. We're getting there, slowly but surely. Read them while they're hot; there's more where they came from.
Tonight, the Venue Formerly Known As The Southgate House hosts its first big show. The Thompson House — as it's now called after a family dispute went to court and resulted in the longtime operators getting the boot and the owners of faux-strip club the Brass Ass taking over — opens its doors tonight to the public for a 7 p.m. concert headlined by modern Ska/Reggae revivalists The Aggrolites.
A recent Enquirer story about the "new" venue drew an avalanche of comments, the vast majority of which suggested that those who were fans of the Southgate House despise the look and direction of the Thompson House, with its purple decor and Rock star murals. Check out this pic from the Thompson House's website:
But the new venue's origins and the relative abruptness of the closing of the Southgate House is angering people more than the color scheme. The wall colors are just purple icing on the cake, so to speak.
The Thompson House has been developing a schedule that seems to be attempting to mimic the eclectic nature of the old Southgate House — a little Jazz, some open mic stuff, a Hard Rock band, some Metal, some Country. Often, the Southgate House's eclectic nature harvested a following whose tastes crossed over. And as diverse as the bookings were, rarely were there shows at the old club that made you go, "Why would they bring THAT show to the Southgate." For much of its run, whoever was booking the Southgate House seemed to have good and, more importantly, consistent taste in a wide-range of music. They wouldn't just book a random Country band; they'd book an interesting, great or unusual one.
The Thompson House bookings so far seem like they will be able to attract a varied audience. But can the people who, say, go to the Blue Wisp Jazz Club every couple of weeks and will probably enjoy the local Jazz lineup at the venue feel at home going to the same club as the younger music lovers who used to hang out at The Mad Hatter (or its current occupier, Bangarang's of Covington) to watch Hardcore and Death Metal bands? We'll see.
I have clubs that I like to go to more than others, but I have never gone to a concert because of where it was being held. And I've never not gone to see a concert at a venue I don't feel as comfortable. But I would be less inclined to frequent a venue if I have a bad experience and I'd be less likely to just roll the dice and take a chance on a show at a venue in which I don't feel comfortable.
I understand the passion of the Southgate lovers who insist they'll never set foot in the Thompson House, but if a band comes to town that you'd like to see, or your favorite local artist is performing in the "Rock Star Lounge" some night, you'll be hurting those artists as much as the new owners. Over the years, I've had club owners or promoters be dicks to me and occasionally have reached the point of anger where I momentarily think, "Screw them, I'll never write about one of their shows again." But it passes quickly. I've never "blacklisted" a club or promoter, no matter how big of an a-hole their employees are, because I've always felt that it would be unfair to both the musicians that work with them and the music fans who would like to know about the concerts they're promoting.
Like I said, I can totally understand the urge to boycott — I haven't stepped inside Clifton movie theater The Esquire since they "banned" CityBeat and its film critic from the theater after we reported how the operators had censored a raunchy part of a film without permission and without informing the audience of the edit. It's just one of those "principled" stands we all take and whether they are "rational" or not is relative and personal. (I'll admit that not going to the Party Source for several years after a manager was a jerk to me there was a little silly … but it made me feel a little better.)
Perhaps the hope is that if all these people who say they'll never go to the Thompson House actually don't, the club won't survive. But, from the bookings so far, a big chunk of the Southgate House's old clientele would never have been interested in the Thompson House bookings anyway. And if the Thompson House fails, someone might just come in and turn it into a Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill.
Me? I'm leaving the door open. I won't be there tonight, though I am a fan of The Aggrolites (and local openers The Ohms and The Newport Secret 6 are excellent, as well). I just have other plans. But, out of sheer curiosity alone, I will step foot in the Thompson House. And when there's music there I want to check out, I'll step foot it in it again and again. I miss the old Southgate House as much as anyone and I really appreciate the efforts of the previous owners, but I'm not going to deprive myself of a good concert experience. I mean, I never stopped going to Bogart's, even when it was the source of some of the worst concert experiences I've ever had.
Although when the Thompson House starts hosting the "Thompson House-produced country (music) revue show, 'Through the Years,' " as the Enquirer reported, I'll probably pass. I'm loyal to Kings Island when it comes to cheesy musical revue numbers.
Tickets for tonight's show are $13. You can buy them here and pick them up at Will Call (or buy them at the door). Click here to see who else is performing at the Thompson House, as well as some of the specialty nights.
Today is the 15th anniversary of the murder of celebrated rapper Christopher Wallace, aka the Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls, aka Big Poppa, etc., etc.). Since his death, Wallace's status has risen considerably and he's widely considered one of the best MCs to ever hold a mic, for both his smooth, laid-back flow and lyrical prowess.
Caught in the middle of the East Coast/West Coast feuding of the time, Wallace (a NYC native) was killed while in California promoting his soon to be released sophomore album, eerily titled (in hindsight, as was his debut's title, Ready to Die) Life After Death. On March 9, Smalls attended the Soul Train awards show in L.A., where he presented Toni Braxton with one of two awards she would win that night (and was booed by the West-leaning coastal feuders in the audience). Wallace left an afterparty at 12:30 a.m. later that night and, about 50 yards from the party entrance, a black Chevy Impala reportedly pulled up next to the vehicle the MC was in and someone in the Impala shot Wallace four times in the chest. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead March 9 at 1:15 a.m.
Despite various theories, confessions and extensive investigations, the case, like that of West Coast star rapper Tupac Shakur (killed about six months prior in similar fashion), remains unsolved.
Life After Death came out 15 days after Wallace's murder. It went to No. 1 on Billboard's album chart instantly. Two more posthumous B.I.G. records were cobbled together — 1999's Born Again, featuring tracks culled from unfinished ones on which Wallace had been working, and the similar Duets: The Final Chapter from 2005, which was widely criticized due to the posthumous pairings with artists many felt Wallace would never have worked with in his lifetime. The album's guests included Eminem, Twista, The Game, Nas, Nelly, Scarface, Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Bob Marley (?!), Korn (?!?!) and West Coast MCs Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. Amazingly, unlike the posthumously prolific 2Pac, the album really was "The Final Chapter"; the only other Biggie releases to come out after that were a 2007 greatest hits collection and the 2009 soundtrack to the film Notorious, based on Wallace's life and death.
Time magazine's website posted a music video playlist tribute today here. And below is "Living In Pain" from the Duets release, which featured Big and Pac, plus still-alive performers Nas and singer Mary J. Blige:
Click on for Born This Day, featuring Bow Wow, John Cale and Ornette Coleman.
Were it not for the Grim Reaper, two celebrated musical couples would be celebrating wedding anniversaries today. Country music superstars Johnny Cash and June Carter (soon-to-be Carter Cash) tied the knot on this date in 1968 in a Franklin, Ky., church. The bride wore light blue; the groom wore (duh!) black. Their relationship was the basis for the celebrated biopic Walk the Line, which showed the couple's rocky patches in all their glory, as well as their dedication to each other. The couple had just one child together, John Carter Cash (born in 1970). The couple managed to put their problems behind them and remained married until June's death in May of 2003. Cash passed away five months later.
June co-wrote (with Merle Kilgore) one of Johnny's biggest songs, 1963's "Ring of Fire," which is said to have been inspired by her conflicted feelings for Johnny.
Music Tonight: Tonight's the last time you'll be able to catch Cincinnati-based trio The Rubber Knife Gang in town for a while. But it's not for any kind of hiatus — no rehab or plastic surgery or whatever it is bands do on such breaks. Quite the opposite. It's because the band is jumping on a plane in a few weeks and heading overseas to spread RKG's soulful Americana/Roots/Bluegrass sound. Tonight, the Gang joins Nashville's Grace Adele and the Grand Band for a free, 10 p.m. show at MOTR Pub. The two acts reteam for a Columbus show this weekend, then RKG hops on a plane for Belgium, where the threesome will play two weeks' worth of dates through mid-September (with a few shows in Germany and the Netherlands sprinkled in).
Those Guys have emerged as one of the more impressive up-and-comers in Cincinnati Hip Hop, both via their digital/CD releases (a handful of singles and a trio of excellent mixtapes) and their live show, which incorporates a three-piece live band. Those Guys features MC's J.Al and Jova, who met as high school freshmen and started the group upon graduation in 2008. Citing influences like Kanye, The Clipse and Kid Cudi, the duo issued Greater Than the Mixtape Volume 1 in 2009.
The most recent in their Greater Than the Mixtape series (Volume 3) was released late last year, kicking off with the monster track "You Ain't Know," which showcases the duo's telepathic back-and-forth, superb lyricism and a fat and funky musical approach.
The duo has been garnering extra attention with their just-released video (Those Guys' first) for "You Ain't Know," which was filmed in Monroe just prior to Halloween and features some spectacular scenes of the crew blowing up a car. Who says you need a big budget for action-movie-like special effects? (The group thanks the City of Monroe's parks, fire and police department as well as the Butler County Bomb Squad in the video description on YouTube, so the fiery shoot was on the up-and-up.)
The video has been creating major buzz on social media, even drawing praise from Hip Hop legend Redman, who tweeted "Dope ass video … thats wut Im talkn bout … sumtn different … hard shit."
Check the clip below, then visit the duo's Bandcamp site to download the latest mixtape and other Those Guys material for free. You can find more about Those Guys at their official site, Facebook page and on Twitter here.
Hip Hop star Young Jeezy performs tonight in Corryville, bringing his tour behind the recent Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition album to Bogart's for an 8 p.m. show. The Def Jam Records recording artist released his major label debut, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, in 2005, spawning the hit single "Soul Survivor," featuring singer Akon. The South Carolina-born, Atlanta-based MC (once a member of the group Boyz n da Hood) put out two more albums — The Inspiration and The Recession (in '06 and '08, respectively) — which featured guests from R. Kelly and Keyshia Cole to Nas and Kanye West (their collabo "Put On" was nominated for a Grammy), and he's appeared as a guest himself on singles by Usher ("Love in This Club") and Rihanna ("Hard"). The Thug Motivation masterclass skipped ahead to 103 (perhaps Thug Motivation 102 is audit-only?) and was released late last year after several announced release dates came and went. The album landed at No. 3 on the album charts its first week out (in the midst of holiday shopping fever, making it more impressive).
TM 103 once again features a pretty heady guest list, with cameos by Yo Gotti, Lil Wayne, Freddie Gibbs, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Jill Scott, Snoop and Ne-Yo, who appears on the most recently released single "Leave You Alone." Check the video below (NSFW for language, excessive head tattoos and gratuitous product placement for Crown Royal and Ciroc vodka). Tickets for tonight's show are $25 (plus fees). Read more about Jeezy here.
• Indie rockers Brighton MA — neither from Brighton nor Massachusetts — hit MOTR Pub tonight for a free show with great locals The Mighty. The Chicago band was formed by two members of Scotland Yard Gospel Choir upon their departure from that acclaimed Indie Pop ensemble, emerging as a successful and acclaimed unit in its own right not long after. An intense mesh of Folk, Rock and Pop, the band's songs have been used on TV shows (like Gossip Girl and Community) and in a successful Jack Daniels ad campaign last year during the holidays. The band also scored a sweet tour van to take a trip on Route 66 for an extensive promotional web series called "Rock the Route," which was sponsored(-the-hell-out-of) by Red Bull. Earlier this year, the group released a new 7-song EP called Billboard Sun, a warm-up for their second full-length, due later this year. Tonight's show starts around 10 p.m.
Oh, and Brighton, Mass., is the neighborhood in which singer Matt Kerstein was born (in case you were wondering).
Here's the band's "Good Kind of Crazy" (aka "the song from the Jack Daniels commercial"):

Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page1 of 9
DEBORAH TAMBURRI, Plaintiff,
v. SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., et al.,
Defendants. (Wells Fargo, US Bank, MERS, Recontrust)
No. C-11-2899 EMC
Plaintiff Deborah Tamburri initiated this lawsuit in state court, asserting claims for, inter alia, violation of California Civil Code § 2923.5, violation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), unfair business practices, and wrongful foreclosure. Defendant SunTrust Mortgage, Inc. removed the case to federal court, and the next day Ms. Tamburri moved for a temporary restraining order to enjoin the foreclosure sale of her home. This Court granted the motion and set a hearing on whether a preliminary injunction should issue. The hearing was held on June 28, 2010. Having considered the parties' briefs and accompanying submissions, as well as the oral argument of counsel, the Court hereby GRANTS the request for preliminary injunctive relief.
The Supreme Court has held that "[a] plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest." Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, 129 S. Ct. 365, 374 (2008).
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page2 of 9
In Winter, the Supreme Court rejected Ninth Circuit case law holding that a plaintiff need only demonstrate a possibility of irreparable injury as opposed to a likelihood irreparable injury. See id. at 375 ("agree[ing] . . . that the Ninth Circuit's 'possibility' standard is too lenient"; adding that "plaintiffs seeking preliminary relief [must] demonstrate that irreparable injury is likely in the absence of an injunction") (emphasis added). However, "[t]he majority opinion in Winter did not, . .. explicitly discuss the continuing validity of the 'sliding scale' approach to preliminary injunctions employed by [the Ninth] [C]ircuit and others. Under this approach, the elements of the preliminary injunction test are balanced, so that a stronger showing of one element may offset a weaker showing of another." Alliance For The Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1131 (9th Cir. 2011). Most notably, under the sliding scale approach, "a preliminary injunction could issue where the likelihood of success is such that 'serious questions going to the merits were raised and the balance of hardships tips sharply in [plaintiff's] favor." Id. at 1131-32. In Alliance (a decision issued in January of this year), the Ninth Circuit held that the "serious questions" approach survives Winter when applied as part of the four-element Winter test. In other words, "serious questions going to the merits" and a hardship balance that tips sharply toward the plaintiff can support issuance of an injunction, assuming the other two elements of the Winter test are also met. Id. at 1132. In the instant case, the Court concludes that the sliding scale approach, as applied as part of the four-element Winter test, supports the issuance of the preliminary injunction sought by Ms. Tamburri.
A. Likelihood of Irreparable Injury
The Court begins by examining the likelihood of irreparable injury. In the instant case, it is more than likely that Ms. Tamburri will suffer irreparable injury if no preliminary injunction were issued. If the sale were to proceed, then Ms. Tamburri would lose her home of 30 years where her children were raised. See Tamburri Reply Decl. As Defendants concede, "[t]he loss of one's home through foreclosure generally is considered sufficient to establish irreparable harm." Opp'n at 27 23; see also Washington v. National City Mortg. Co., No. C 10-5042 SBA, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 28 136439, at *15 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2010) (expressly stating such).
Case3: 11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page3 of 9
Moreover, in her reply declaration, Ms. Tamburri states that simply the prospect of losing her home has incapacitated her, damaged her ability to support her family, and even led her to consider committing suicide. See Tamburri Reply Decl. ¶ 4. Clearly, monetary damages would not make Ms. Tamburri whole. See California Pharm. Ass'n v. Maxwell-Jolly, 563 F.3d 847, 852 (9th Cir.
2009) (noting that "economic damages are not traditionally considered irreparable because the injury 6 can later be remedied by a damage award").
B. Balance of Hardships
In its papers, Suntrust does not identify any real hardship if a preliminary injunction were to issue. Indeed, it is hard to conceive of a serious hardship to Suntrust specifically or even Defendants
generally because any security they have in the real property would still remain. See Washington, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 136439, at *16 (pointing out such). The fact that Defendants have lost money, even for a period of three years, is not enough to outweigh the irreparable injury that Ms. Tamburri would suffer if the foreclosure sale were not enjoined. See California Pharm., 563 F.3d at 851 (stating that "[t]ypically, monetary harm does not constitute irreparable harm"). Moreover, the loss of funds (more specifically, the use of the property or proceeds from a foreclosure sale) will be mitigated by the bond required herein below. Thus, the balance of hardships does tip sharply in Ms. Tamburri's favor. See Naderski v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. CV 11-1783 CAS (CWx), 2011
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 48867, at *6 (C.D. Cal. Apr. 25, 2011) (concluding that "the balance of hardships 1tips sharply in plaintiff's favor: if the trustee's sale is not enjoined plaintiff is likely to forever lose his home, whereas defendants will only experience a temporary delay in earning income from their investment").
Suntrust argues still that it would be inequitable for a preliminary injunction to issue because Ms. Tamburri would then be rewarded for improper conduct – i.e., "her ostensibly conscious decision to not once, but twice delay until the eve of the foreclosure sale to use the judicial system to stop foreclosure." Opp'n at 24. The Court does not find this argument persuasive. Ms. Tamburri has provided a declaration explaining why there was a delay in her seeking preliminary injunctive relief. Suntrust's reliance on Saba v. Caplan, No. C-10-2113 SBA (Docket No. 24), is not availing
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page4 of 9
because, in that case, it does not appear that there was any excuse for the plaintiff's dilatory behavior. Moreover, on at least one occasion, Suntrust delayed foreclosure.
C. Likelihood of Success on the Merits/Serious Questions Going to the Merits
There are serious questions going to the merits in order to obtain the injunctive relief she seeks. While Ms. Tamburri has raised various claims in her complaint, her papers focus on only two claims – i.e., the claims for violation of California Civil Code § 2923.5 and for violation of § 2932.5. Accordingly, the Court shall consider only those claims in determining whether a preliminary injunction should issue.
1. Section 2923.5 California Civil Code § 2923.5(a)(1) provides that "[a] mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent may not file a notice of default pursuant to Section 2924 until 30 days after initial contact is made as required by paragraph (2) or 30 days after satisfying the due diligence requirements as described in subdivision (g)." Cal. Civ. Code § 2923.5(a)(1) (emphasis added). Under paragraph (2), "[a] mortgagee, beneficiary, or authorized agent shall contact the borrower in person or by telephone in order to assess the borrower's financial situation and explore options for the borrower to avoid foreclosure." Id. § 2923.5(a)(2). Under subdivision (g), "[a] notice of default may be filed . . . when a mortgagee, beneficiary, or authorized agent has not contacted a borrower as required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) provided that the failure to contact borrower occurred despite the due diligence of the mortgagee, beneficiary, or authorized agent." Id. § 2923.5(g) (emphasis added). In the instant case, Ms. Tamburri asserts that Defendants violated § 2923.5(a)(1) because they failed to contact her prior to filing the notice of default on June 8, 2010. Ms. Tamburri has provided evidence to support this claim, namely, her own declaration. See Tamburri Decl. ¶ 11 (stating that "Suntrust never contacted me in person or by telephone to explore my options to avoid foreclosure prior to the recordation of [the] Notice of Default [in June 2010]").
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page5 of 9
1 In response, Suntrust argues that Ms. Tamburri was in fact contacted in accordance with § 2923.5(a) – pointing to the § 2923.5 declaration attached to the notice of default. See Tamburri 3 Decl., Ex. 2 (Notice of Default and attached § 2923.5 declaration). But contrary to what Suntrust contends, the fact of such a declaration (even one signed under oath), while perhaps fulfilling one of 5 the statutory requirements under § 2923.5, does not bar the homeowner from disputing the facts
asserted in the declaration. Suntrust has not cited any authority holding such, nor is the Court aware of any such authority. Certainly, Mabry v. Superior Court, 185 Cal. App. 4th 208 (2010), did not so hold. Indeed, the appellate court in Mabry remanded the matter to the trial court to determine the facts. See id. at 235-36. Here, the Court is faced with two competing declarations – one from Ms.
Tamburri and one from Suntrust/Defendants – as to whether Suntrust in fact contacted Ms. Tamburri as required by § 2923.5. While the declarations arguably are in equipoise, the failure of Suntrust to provide anything beyond the declaration (which simply tracks the language of the statute) is problematic. As Judge Alsup noted in a recent case, "the dearth of evidence from defendant, in the face of plaintiff's clear statement to the contrary that defendants did not contact her to notify her in of her rights prior to the recording of the notice of default, speaks volumes." Paik v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. C 10-04016 WHA, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3979, at *10 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 13, 2011). Ms. Tamburri has raised at least a serious question whether Suntrust violated § 2923.5. At the hearing, Suntrust argued that, even if there was a failure to contact Ms. Tamburri at the outset, it ultimately complied with § 2923.5 because a dialogue eventually ensued between Suntrust/Defendants and Ms. Tamburri – i.e., Ms. Tamburri asked for loan modification and was eventually denied. This argument, however, is without merit because, as Ms. Tamburri pointed out during the hearing, § 2923.5 requires that there be contact prior to the notice of default. The timing requirement expressly imposed by the statute cannot be ignored. See Mabry, 185 Cal. App. 4th at
1 "A notice of default filed pursuant to Section 2924 shall include a declaration that the mortgagee, beneficiary, or authorized agent has contacted the borrower, has tried with due diligence to contact the borrower as required by this section, or that no contact was required pursuant to subdivision (h)." Cal. Civ. Code § 2923.5(b).
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page6 of 9
225 (emphasizing that "[t]he right conferred by section 2923.5 is a right to be contacted to 'assess' and 'explore' alternatives to foreclosure prior to a notice of default") (emphasis in original). Accordingly, the Court concludes that Ms. Tamburri has established serious questions going to the merits on her § 2923.5 claim.
2. Section 2932.5
Section 2932.5 provides as follows:
Where a power to sell real property is given to a mortgagee, or other encumbrancer, in an instrument intended to secure the payment of money, the power is part of the security and vests in any person who by assignment becomes entitled to payment of the money secured by the instrument. The power of sale may be exercised by the assignee if the assignment is acknowledged and recorded.
Cal. Civ. Code § 2932.5 (emphasis added). In the instant case, Ms. Tamburri's basic argument is that the imminent foreclosure is wrongful because, although Suntrust has identified Wells Fargo as the owner of her loan, Wells Fargo has no right to foreclose on the real property at issue because the last recorded assignment of the deed of trust reflects that US Bank owns the loan, and not Wells. See Mot. at 10. In short, she claims there is confusing and contradictory evidence as to who owns the loan. At this juncture, Suntrust has proffered no evidence to clarify the situation. Here, as above, the Court finds that Ms. Tamburri has raised at least serious questions going to the merits. It is true – as Suntrust points out – that multiple federal courts in California have held that § 2932.5 applies only to mortgages and not to deeds of trust. See, e.g., Selby v. Bank of Am., Inc., No. 09cv2079 BTM(JMA), 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 139966 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2010); Parcray v. Shea Mortg., Inc., No. CV-F-09-1942 OWW/GSA, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 40377 (E.D. Cal. Apr. , 2010); Roque v. Suntrust Mortg., Inc., No. C-09-00040 RMW, 2010 WL 54896 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 23 10, 2010). Furthermore, Stockwell v. Barnum, 7 Cal. App. 413 (1908), a decision issued by a state appellate court, supports Suntrust's position. Thus, it is arguable that, where a deed of trust (rather than a mortgage) is involved, the trustee, irrespective of whether an assignment of the beneficial interest is properly recorded, may initiate foreclosure. But there is also authority that favors Ms. Tamburri's argument that proper proof of title is required under § 2923.5 regardless of whether there is a mortgage or a deed of trust. In In re
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page7 of 9
Salazar, No. 10-17456-MM13, 2011 WL 1398478 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 12, 2011), the federal bankruptcy court disagreed with the above authority and held that formalistic distinctions between mortgages and deeds of trust were "outdated" and that trustors were deserving of the same protection as mortgagors under California law. Id. at *5. Furthermore, given its age, Stockwell is arguably an
"outdated" opinion that improperly credits the formal distinctions between mortgages and deeds of trust, particularly in the context of current lending practices. Finally, as Ms. Tamburri noted at the hearing, the Court of Appeals decision in Strike v. Trans-West Discount Corp., 92 Cal. App. 3d 735 (1979), a case of more recent vintage, supports her position. See id. at 743 (stating that "[a]
recorded assignment of note and deed of trust vests in the assignee all of the rights and interests of the beneficiary, including authority to exercise any power of sale given the beneficiary," citing in support the predecessor statute to § 2932.5). Given the ambiguity in the law, Ms. Tamburri has raised serious questions on the merits of her § 2923.5 claim.
D. Public Interest
indicated that "it is in the public interest to allow homeowners an opportunity to pursue what appear to be valid claims before being displaced from their homes." Sencion v. Saxon Mortg. Servs., LLC, No. 5:10-cv-3108 JF, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41022, at *8-9 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 11, 2011); see also Naderski, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 48867, at *6 (noting that "[t]he public interest . . . weighs in favor of preventing the wrongful foreclosure of individuals' property"); Dumas v. First Northern Bank, No. CIV. S-10-1523 LKK/DAD, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16775, at *6 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 15, 2011) (stating that "[i]t is in the public interest to require lenders to comply with the California statutes enacted to protect homeowners from unnecessary foreclosures"). Because, as discussed above, there are at least serious questions going to the merits on both the § 2923.5 claim and the § 2932.5 claim, the public interest weighs in favor of a preliminary injunction. E. Bond For the reasons discussed above, the Court issues a preliminary injunction in the case at bar – i.e., an injunction barring Suntrust and the other defendants from proceeding with the foreclosure sale of Ms. Tamburri's home. The only issue remaining is whether a bond should be posted and, if so, in what amount.
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page8 of 9
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) (providing that "[t]he court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained").
The Court rejects Ms. Tamburri's argument that no bond at all should be posted. Ms. Tamburri's reliance on Sharma v. Provident Funding Assocs., L.P., No. C 09-5968 VRW (Docket 7 No. 13), is not availing because, there, Judge Walker did not explain why he chose not to impose a bond. Indeed, the order granting the preliminary injunction did not mention a bond at all. Moreover, other judges in this District have imposed a bond when a plaintiff seeks to enjoin a foreclosure sale based on a claimed § 2923.5 violation. See, e.g., Paik, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3979, at *15. As for Ms. Tamburri's reliance on Mabry, that too is unavailing because there the court was not being asked to grant preliminary injunctive relief and so did not consider the issue of a bond. (The Mabry court considered only the issue of tender.)
Taking into account the circumstances, including but not limited to the fact that, over the past three years, Ms. Tamburri has continued living at the real property at issue without making any payment to Defendants, the Court concludes that a bond is appropriate. The Court finds that a bond in the amount of $2,000 per month (starting August 1, 2011) appropriate. It approximates the fair rental value of the property as well as a fair rate of return on $525,000, the current value of the
property proffered by Ms. Tamburri (and not disputed by Suntrust).
Case3:11-cv-02899-EMC Document33 Filed07/06/11 Page9 of 9
II. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS Ms. Tamburri's request for a preliminary
injunction. Suntrust and the other defendants, as well as their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or participation with them, are hereby enjoined from selling the real property commonly known as 2968 Sombrero Circle, San Ramon, California 94583. In order for the preliminary injunction to remain in effect, Ms. Tamburri must pay a bond in the amount of $2,000 per month, starting on August 1, 2011 and the first of each month thereafter.

I'm working with a Berkeley database (in Java). I need to read a tuple where the sequence is a string, either an int or long, then another string. How can I determine if the tuple holds an int or a long? Depending on what the tuple holds, I'll do one of the following:
String s1 = input.readString();
int num1 = input.readInt();
String s2= input.readString();
String s1 = input.readString();
long num1 = input.readLong();
String s2= input.readString();
The int is 4 bytes and the long is 8 bytes. If the tuple holds an int and I read it in as a long, I get an invalid value as it converts the 4 byte int + 4 bytes of the following string into a long.

Thierry Bouüaert got his artistic talents from his grandfather, who was a painter. Throughout his childhood, Bouüaert drew comics, based on his favorite television shows. He decided to become a professional comics artist in 1986. He studied at the Saint-Luc in Brussels for three years, and took courses in comics at the Académie de St. Gilles. During his studies, he did his first illustration work. After his education, he illustrated articles and summaries in Spirou magazine. He also did some mini-books, using the pseudonym Wilbur H. Dusquesnoy. He was then assigned by publisher Claude Lefrancq to take over the 'Edmund Bell' series from René Follet. Bouüaert illustrated only one album in 1993, and the series was cancelled afterwards. He teamed up with Mauricet, a friend from the Academy, to start a project at Glénat publishers. The publisher ended the contract however, and the project was never realised. A bit disappointed by the comics world, Bouüaert then took on painting, which he continued to do for four years. He returned to comics with the series 'Le Style Catherine', that appears at Bamboo publishers.

Seth's Blog: The new rules of naming
For all those who are about to create their startup, this article about the name of the company is an essential and important. [note mg]
For a long time, I didn't like my name. I spent more than 30 years spelling both my first and last name in school and on the phone. It didn't help that I had a little trouble with my S's when I was a kid.
Of course, now I think it's fantastic that my grandfather overruled my mom when she wanted to name me Scott. (I think he had an issue with the branding of a type of toilet paper, but that's a different story).
Scott's a tough name in the Google world. Mark is even tougher. Michael is probably toughest of all.
We went through a lot of hoops in naming Squidoo. I realized as I was explaining the process to a friend the other day that the same logic applies to any product or service or company in our bottom-up world, so here goes:

Driving along I-90 between Mitchell and Chamberlain, visitors arent yet bombarded with many pleas from beckoning tourist attractions. That doesnt mean there arent places to stop.
Sports fans should take notice that two world-class athletes grew up in these parts.
Mike Miller, the former University of Florida star and member of the NBAs Miami Heat, grew up in Mitchell and played his prep basketball in the Corn Palace.
And Chad Greenway, formerly of the University of Iowa and now a starting linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings, hails from Mount Vernon. Stop into either of these towns and locals likely can tell you about the exploits of these players as they led their teams to state high school titles.
Hungry? The small towns between Mitchell and Chamberlain generally have uptown restaurants that feature true home-style cooking. Vacations are built around fast-food, but sometimes its nice to stop off the highway and enjoy a meal in the slower pace of a small town.
At Chamberlain is one of the regions most unique state rest areas. Remember, this is Lewis and Clark country, and the rest area at Exit 263 offers visitors a look at a replica of an expedition boat, as well as some of the best views in South Dakota.

Performance Artist Nate Hill Terrorizes UES With Dollar Menu Cheeseburgers
If you're on the Upper East Side, watch out for flying burgers.
If Andy Warhol's ruminative Whopper-eating video left you stultified, perhaps you may find solace in the antics of Nate Hill, who is spending the summer hurling McDonald's cheeseburgers at pedestrians on the Upper East Side. The performance artist, who says "I don't have any political message about fast food or McDonald's or anything," may be familiar to readers through his earlier gastronomic endeavors such as his Chinatown Garbage Tours and their taxidermic yields. And who could forget Hill's porpoise suit and hybrid McNuggets schtick? Anyhow, watch the video.
"I used to want to be an art hero," Hill writes on his website, "Now, I want to be an art villain." To wit, each cheeseburger the man launches from his bicycle has a bite taken out of it. Understandably, the response has been mixed: "He's got nothing else going on in his life," a passerby theorizes for the Guardian, "so he's trying to market himself as a cheeseburger man." Sigh. If only someone could convince Kate Moss to pick up a few more shifts at the Nutsy McDonald's.

Social Cocktail: Getting the Social Data You Need
Businesses are struggling to understand what social data sources they need to make the right decisions for their businesses. Should businesses incorporate data from social networks, blogs, comments and everything else under the sun? Creating the right mix is like creating a social cocktail - you need to understand the properties of each social media publisher to get the right mix. Using data science from billions of social data activities, Chris will talk about attributes of each social media publisher.
Changing the game for businesses, unexpected events (e.g. natural disasters) and expected events (e.g. the Super Bowl) can have a significant impact on businesses and the types of social data they need to make decisions. What kind of wrench can these events throw into the best laid plans?
Case studies, driven by data science, will complete the picture of what types of social data matter for businesses.
- Why analyze social data from more than one publisher?
- What audiences and modes of conversation are needed to build out an understanding of your market, your customers, perceptions of your product and the evolution of your message?
- How can companies incorporate public social conversations into their daily business operations?
- How do expected and unexpected events affect the social data businesses need?
- What happens when you ignore a social data source?

The Princess Bride [Blu-ray]
The Princess Bride didnt make a huge impression on audiences when it hit theaters in 1987. In fact, Mandy Patinkin said he was so excited about the release, he went and saw it in a regular theater hoping to gauge the audiences reaction, but the theater was empty when he entered. Like The Wizard of Oz and other box office flops before it, The Princess Bride eventually found its audience, and 25 years later, its still the type of movie families can watch together, over and over again.
The Movie:
Theres a lot to The Princess Brides story, but its message is not nearly as complicated. The films definition of true love, shown through Buttercup (Robin Wright) and Westleys (Cary Elwes) storyline, as well as through the grandfather (Peter Falk) reading to his sick grandson (Fred Savage), is touching and universal. Like most great comedies, there are notes of truth in the telling, even when the plot brings in screaming eels and rodents of unusual size.
Director Rob Reiner picked The Princess Bride after coming off of This is Spinal Tap and, at the time, it couldnt have seemed like a better fit. Writer William Goldman had been looking for a director since the 70s and Reiner loved the book. It was a match made in heavenwell, as long as all the details came together, which they eventually did.
Buttercup and Westleys journey as a couple provides the main frame of The Princess Brides tale, but its also the dullest of all the storylines. In The Princess Bride, we find the legend of a six-fingered man, a story about friendship, a maddening and madly-in-love couple who work miracles with a little chocolate, several of the most entertaining sword fights, and one of the greatest revenge sequences of all time. While its true that our hero and heroine get some good moments in with an ambitious hill roll and the subsequent journey through the Fire Swamp, the characters pale in comparison to the colorful Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), Mad Max (Billy Crystal), Humperdink (Chris Sarandon), Fezzik (Andre the Giant), and Inigo Montoya (Patinkin).
None of this matters particularly. If there has to be a love story in the film, Id rather have the heroic and quirky Westley and the stubborn and bold Buttercup than other typecasts, on any day.
Every classic film has something to date it a bit. For The Princess Bride, its the video games the sick child is playing and the boing noise accompanying Westleys sword toss during his fight with the Spaniard. The things that date The Princess Bride also work for the film, giving it a nostalgic effect that connects the imaginary tale to a specific time and place. In 2012, with The Princess Brides 25th Anniversary Edition, the nostalgia factor is high for old fans of the film, but the movie still easily picks up new audiences, endearing itself to the young and old, the farm boys and princesses-to-be, and even some curmudgeons that may have forgotten the meaning of true love. It will fit you as well, and probably as personally, as the six-fingered glove fits Count Rugen.
The Disc:
The details on the disc are excellent. On the menu page, theres an interactive scroll tool that features the characters climbing the Cliffs of Insanity. As far as the picture goes, however, its not like the films picture has been meticulously touched up, and its almost as fuzzy on Blu-ray as I remember it being as a kid on a VHS tape. My bigger problem came toward the end of the movie when a short part of the film wouldnt play. This is likely a problem confined to my specific set, but it was a bummer to miss the epic sword scene between Inigo Montoya and Count Rugen.
True Love: The Princess Bride Phenomenon is the first set of segments on the disc. The first extra features Reiner, Wright, and Elwes as they talk about the reactions people have had to the film over the years. Later in the segment, some super fans and other cast and crew members appear to share some thoughts about the story and characters. My favorite bits in the section occur when there are cut tos to cultural reference and spoofs of The Princess Bride, ranging from Stargate: Atlantis to Family Guy. Unlike some of the other extras, these are brand new to the set and are really watchable.
Audio commentaries follow. I really wish these had featured more cast and crew members, but Reiner takes charge on one and Goldman does the commentary on the other.
The third segment, The Art of Fencing, takes a look at Bob Anderson, the man who put together the epic fight between Inigo and Westley. The different types of swords that were used during filming are also looked at. This would probably be an excellent extra for those who are super in to action scenes, but since swordplay comes up repeatedly, its mostly a miss.
As You Wish: The Story of The Princess Bride is a bit like the True Love segment. Everyone looks a bit younger, though, so Im guessing this was shot for a much earlier release. What I did appreciate about this bit was that it looked at the history of the films release, including the limited budget devoted to promoting the theatrical release, and how the flick blew up on VHS as one of the first big tape releases.
The next few extras are slightly shorter. Cary Elwes: Video Diaries, shows some home footage taken on set and The Dread Pirate Roberts: Greatest Pirate of The Seven Seas is a ridiculous faux documentary. There are a few smaller extras, and even one easter egg I found (hint: look in the setup section) that I wont spoil for you, but this is the bulk of the set.
Some of the extras on the 25th Anniversary Edition are the same as those in the 20th Anniversary Edition. Still, the disc is worth watching, even if youve never caught any of the film's features, before. The Princess Bride absolutely has rewatch value, so if you dont own a copy, now might be the time to buy. However, do you specifically need to own the 25th Anniversary copy? Decidedly not.
