Hello guys, I'm asking here before submitting a bug ticket, also if I don't think this is platform related. Since the update I made this morning 126.96.36.199, especially when I switch from one page to an another one, my browser window turns black, and I have copy the address of the tab, and paste it in an another tab to make the window open again. It's worthless to say that this is painful. (it turns black because of my theme I think, it's the same black as my theme. Maybe it would have turned gray if I had the lighter theme) I'll add a screenshot in a minute, I can't switch tab now, or I'll have to make the thread again xD Edit: Ok, added a screen. [attachment=1376]black.png[/attachment] It happened on the speed dial this time, just 20 secs after I created the thread, but it happens on every website too Ok here's an another black screen of me looking at the picture of the black screen which also turned black [attachment=1377]black2.png[/attachment] Attachments: [img]https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/attachments/50223/black.png[/img],[img]https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/attachments/50223/black2.png[/img]

This has been happening for me as well. It occurs mostly when I middle click to close a tab. Once that tab closes, the next tab that is activated is black, just like the screenshots above suggest.

HUNDREDS of primary school children in Rustington were racing for glory during a fundraising fun run on Friday (May 1)
More than 400 youngsters from Summerlea Community Primary School, in Windsor Drive, tackled the race, which was raising much-needed cash to boost the school's coffers.
Younger pupils jogged or walked around the playing field, while the older boys and girls tackled a quarter-mile route around the entire school.
The aim was for the charitable children to complete as many laps as they could before their 15-minute time limit ran out.
Head teacher Helen Morris said there was an air of excitement at the school.
"Anticipation has been building all day for this," Mrs Morris said. "The children have been really excited and looking forward to today."
It's hoped the day helped to generate about £2,000.
The plucky runners were split into their four tutor groups to tackle the race.
However, talented year-five athlete Lukas Harber challenged himself by running all four relays – totting up about seven miles in total.
Mrs Morris said staff were very impressed with his effort, adding: "We have got some budding young runners and athletes at the school and Lukas is one of them. He represents the school at athletics club.
"It didn't surprise us but it was lovely to see. He showed great stamina and resiliences, like all the children who took part in the fun run."
The day also saw an assembly on team work by Pro Coaching Football Academy.

Wilder's Mate, but Moira Rogers, is the first in a series. It tells the tale of the inventor Satira, whose mentor has been kidnapped and taken into lawless vampire country. She's aided by Wilder, a werewolf (in this universe called bloodhounds). Bloodhounds are created to combat vampires and are governed by a quasi-governmental guild. They have their furry couple of days in the full moon as expected, but they also have a few days of sexual frenzy during the new moon.
I liked the setting and the overall plot. For some reason, though, I just didn't enjoy the relationship. It was one of those stories where they instantly lusted for each other, but it just felt jarring. I liked her and I mostly liked him, but being inside their head when they thought of each other didn't do it for me.
* Mild spoiler next*
I also didn't entirely buy that bloodhounds mate for life, but the guild forbids them taking mates. Since they have to have crazy sex every month, it's not like they can keep bloodhounds away from women they might mate with. And since, as Wilder points out in the story, the guild needs the bloodhounds a lot more than the bloodhounds need the guild, it's unclear how they're able to enforce such a rule. I mean, only bloodhounds can bring another bloodhound to justice so you would think they would have a stake in ignoring the rule.
Anyway, I like the idea of the book and think it has some promise, but I'll probably wait until she's written a couple more books before I check her out again. YMMV.

Discovering the most effective Lottery Software package For yourselfThere are a lot of lottery number prediction software packages for aspiring millionaires available over the web. These software have already been created to guide people in picking numbers that may get them to richer with the lottery, either marginally or substantially. The number of attributes differs from one program to a different, but every one has by far the most basic element any lottery software-the chance to dissect entire volumes of past data, compute for probability, and generate a likely string of winning numbers, all within seconds. Many of these programs, some dating back to through the 1980s, have enjoyed moderate commercial success as evidenced because of the positive feedback from customers, thus confirming their power to help people grow their own probabilities of success over the various numbers games.
With every one of the lottery programs offering different useful features which help ensure instant wealth, could there sometimes be a plan which could it is able to required than it as good as the competition? Many software manufacturers and retailers declare that their goods work best out there given that they acquire more or better features compared to what your competitors can give. Some even guarantee millions in winnings, but until now there happen to be no documented cases of people actually winning the grand prizes by using such software so it is challenging to gauge their absolute effectiveness. Winning the lottery, particularly the major prizes, is and definately will be an isolated possibility. Lottery software aims to raise the percentages in anyone's favor nevertheless the current trend is apparently that folks are guaranteed wealth as time passes mainly since they can now regularly win smaller amounts.
The answer depends mainly on the way in which well a lottery application performs its intended functions, since, including the customers' opinions are as varied because programs themselves. Some customers will vouch for a specific program because best while other people prepare a new program searching for efficient at addressing the requirements. If you're a casual player who merely wants a little more money on an ongoing basis, you could be quite happy with simple software offering an easy strategy for choosing lottery numbers. If you're a more gung-ho type who's really within it for your millions, you might certainly want a software program containing everything you are going to need to minimize your risks.
No matter how aggressively software manufacturers and retailers advertise their goods being the best lottery software on the market, it's still nearly the purchasers to make a decision whether such programs really are essentially the most capable and the majority practical with their kind. To have an thought of the most effective lottery software, you should not look any additional compared to the reviews and testimonials of both customers and market observers. Only the those who have used a selected lottery application know without a doubt no matter whether it's the very best available. Regardless of its features, it can be deemed the top lottery software around when it delivers its promise of helping players win inside different numbers games repeatedly.

Proud Mary's wheels are turnin'
After a summer of teasing from Mary letting the St. Pete area know that a new Hamburger Mary's would be moving into the neighborhood, it finally happened. Hamburger Mary's—or as this location is known, Sunshine City Mary's—is opened for business. If the first few weeks are any indication, that business won't be slowing down anytime soon.
The doors opened Aug. 25 and the guests started coming; including a "welcome to the neighborhood" greeting from Punky's Brian Longstreth. Sunshine City Mary's is located across from Tyrone Square Mall in the old Hooters building. Anyone who has been to any of the Hamburger Mary's locations across the country, or one of the other two Bay Area locations, knows that a trip to Mary's isn't just about the food (don't get us wrong, the food is reason enough to go), it's the show that goes with it.

Through participation in the E-Z Borrow network, the Penn community has access to books from over 60 academic libraries in Pennsylvania and nearby states. Take note of this change in policy: E-Z Borrow partners have agreed to extend the loan period for E-Z Borrow materials to 6 weeks with a single 6 week renewal. In the past, these loans went out to our patrons for 4 weeks with a single 4 week renewal. In the long run, this will make things much simpler for our circulation desks since it means that the E-Z Borrow loan period is now the same as the one for BorrowDirect. (BorrowDirect is the inter-library loan service exclusive to Penn, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Yale, and the Center for Research Libraries.)
In the short run, it will mean that patrons trying to renew E-Z Borrow books that they've recently charged out may have trouble renewing online. It will take about 4 weeks for all of the patrons that have E-Z Borrow books charged under the old rules to either return or renew them. If you are experiencing difficulty with a renewal or have any questions about the transition, the circulation staff will be happy to assist you.

The likes of One Direction and Red Hot Chili Peppers were able to fit in his five-seater vehicle, but this wouldn't suffice for the Foo Fighters , seeing as there are six of them in the band. I've never really picked up the sticks but I don't consider it to be an issue. And could we forget to mention the portion where they crash a Guitar Center, have a drum-off between Corden, Grohl and Taylor Hawkins , and create a stage and cover Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
In its policy statement , the Fed took note of Harvey, Irma and Hurricane Maria. Last week was the greenback's best against the yen since November, up 2.8 per cent, as a rise in USA yields bolstered its appeal against the low-yielding yen and data showing a pickup in U.S.
In a joint statement, the couple shared: "To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public". Throughout their split, Josh and Fergie have ensured that their four-year-old son Axl is happy and settled.

The businesswoman further alleges that Bohan "threatened to kill himself" via text message while she was in Miami in mid-July to promote her swimwear line, Prey Swim. Child protective services were said to have visited their home on September 15. So far, neither Audrina or Corey have made a public comment about the divorce whispers.
Donald Trump sparked even more than his usual share of Twitter tremors when he praised Nambia during a United Nations speech. "I know " Nambia " will be the narrative that comes from those remarks, but POTUS is right on this: Africa has tremendous business potential", tweeted rep Ian Koski.
Former Gov. Robert Bentley , who resigned amid scandal, appointed odd in February to the seat vacated when Jeff Sessions became USA attorney general. Republican strategist Rick Tyler said a unusual loss could signal a situation analogous to that of former President Barack Obama, who had a base that "will support him, like him, vote for him but won't necessarily be moved to act for him on behalf of others".
This year's Emmys addressed the issue Mr. Trump's fixation with ratings, featuring a surprise appearance by former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on stage . You've got to have the big numbers. You can catch new episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM EST on CBS. The president tweeted that he was "saddened" by the show's low ratings and that they were the "worst ever".
The victim was taken to hospital but later died of his injuries. Investigators reportedly also informed his family that they would be releasing the video for full intent and purposes of the investigation and the image of his body is blurred after shots were fired out of respect.
Riz Ahmed, a Muslim Englishman of Pakistani descent, won Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his powerful arc in The Night Of . But what has people talking at the Emmy's this time is the diversity in its winners' list and the underlying political commentary.

China's credit rating has now been changed from AA- to A+. The downgrade comes a month ahead of the Communist Party Congress, the country's most significant political meeting which takes place only twice a decade and sets economic policy for the coming five years.

Her rep didn't immediately return Page Six's request for comment. Berry shared an adorable Instagram post calling him her "balance". Berry also has a daughter with her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. As long as Halle's happy, we're happy for her! I never sat behind a console officially, but at nighttime, when nobody was there, I'd use the studios and learn stuff.
The series will reimagine the origin of the Archie Comics character Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age tale that involves witchcraft and the occult. While this is hardly what we thought a Sabrina reboot to look like, we're definitely excited to see what The CW has in store for Ms. Spellman. While Sabrina has appeared on TV before in the late '90s to early '00s sitcom with Melissa Joan Hart , this take will be much darker .
But Fergie said that meant they were still getting asked questions about life as a couple after splitting. Fergie is now promoting her upcoming new solo album Double Dutchess , her first in more than 10 years - which means more and more interviews with the press.
In a 2012 interview with Vogue , the La La Land actress said she would be "immobilized" by anxiety. Privately, they're fighting their own battles - King with her sexuality and Riggs with a gambling problem. The self-portrait shows Emma standing next to a small green monster underneath the words, "I'm bigger than my anxiety". "But when you get on stage you feel fine".
The "urban in-line" stores will be created to feature open kitchens, digital menu boards and local artwork. Food & Wine said "the majority of the new "urban in-line" locations will serve beer, wine, sangria, slushies with tequila, rum, or vodka".
The only really compelling character in The Goleden Ciircle, though, is Eggsy's mentor Harry Hart (Colin Firth), who was murdered onscreen in The Secret Service , but resuscitated by the Statesmen . O, and did I mention that Elton John turns up in this thing as, well, Elton John and it's pretty amusing stuff since he is the private entertainer for Poppy, feathers and all.
She added that the 27-year-old model was the victim of multiple felonies. While at the conference, Sabbag denied the accusations that she was using the video to extort money from Hart. We are not making any false claims against him. Hiding cameras and recording someone in a private place is illegal, as is distributing the images, Ms Bloom said.
September 19, 2017: 7.1 quake rocks central Mexico , collapsing some buildings in heavily populated parts of Mexico City and nearby Cuernavaca, killing dozens just two weeks after another deadly tremor in the country's south. And Global Affairs said it was closely monitoring the situation in Mexico and was ready to help. Many are still feared trapped inside the rubble of collapsed buildings as emergency crews and volunteers are trying to search for trapped survivors.
The NBC late-night show had already swept the two best guest actor categories at the earlier Creative Arts Emmys (one for Melissa McCarthy and another for Dave Chappelle ). "And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a 'sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot, '" Tomlin said to a roaring audience. Baldwin spoke directly to Trump, who has complained in the past that he was cheated out of a trophy for hosting "Celebrity Apprentice": "I suppose I should say, 'At long last, Mr.
When Matt Lauer asked if it would be safe to assume Fox News was given some piece of undeniable information about O'Reilly that forced its hand in firing the company's number one revenue generator, O'Reilly answered, "That's a false assumption".
The Emmy Awards took place last night in Los Angeles , hosted by late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert . The way makeup artist Daniel Martin tells it, the morning of the Emmys started like any other day with his longtime client Elisabeth Moss , star of The Handmaid's Tale , and victor of the evening's outstanding lead actress in a drama series award .
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer made a surprise appearance, and Kate McKinnon of " Saturday Night Live " thanked Hillary Clinton when she accepted a supporting actress award. Unfortunately, as is the nature of award shows, there could only be one victor. The host's jokes ranged from Sen. "Just ask Ted Cruz", Colbert said, in reference to the Texas senator's Twitter account and the "like" last week of a porn clip.
Adidas now owns 13% of the sneaker market in the United States. Since taking the helm in 2015, the company put an increased emphasis on improving products and narrowing its focus on the US, arguably the most influential shoe market in the world.
Faris, who will be presenting at the Emmys , now stars on CBS's Mom . I guess I wasn't invited. "I didn't get an invitation". "Were the Emmys tonight?" the Guardians of the Galaxy actor joked when the reporter asked why he was absent from the star-studded event.

Embody The Masculine Principle
Get Better at Relationships
Become a High-Value Man
How many times in your life have you felt truly seen?
To be 'seen' means to feel that you have been heard, listened to, and deeply understood.
What if, the secret to feeling seen more often, lies not in other people's ability to see us, but in our ability to let ourselves be seen and to see ourselves?
Watch and Listen to my recent interview with Sanctus on the incredibly important topic of Men, Masculinity & Mental Health
My new partner in crime for the Feminine Embodiment work, Andrea Balboni, hosted me on her regular FB live. Check it out here
We gather again. Join the tribe.
After coaching so many men, there are a handful of patterns that I have observed that come up frequently. This one in particular, is one I can relate to a lot – I can smell it from a mile away, having suffered quite a lot from my previous unconsciousness of it in my past relationships.
The March Men's workshop filled up surprisingly fast! However, if you would like to be put on the waiting list in the event of cancellations, please message me.
Be sure to book your spaces early for the next one (TBC)
I was quite nervous about this going out there. I was actually super tired when this was recorded a month ago and wasn't sure how I'd come across. We also went a bit deep and some of what was discussed in the interview brought some 'stuff' up for me that I've been looking into since.
Listen now to hear about my own journey of self-mastery through the martial arts and how we can apply certain martial arts principles to our relationship skills...
A men's intensive going where very few workshops dare to go - revealing the Dark Masculine
It's also very subtle. But it's not the insecurity. It's not from a small or damaged part of me. It's from my heart, the depth of my masculine core. It's dark - but it isn't 'bad'.
I want to kill him.
Are you an inhaler or exhaler?

Don't want to associate with every film: Akshaye Khanna
Actor Akshaye Khanna says it wasn't a conscious decision not to sign too many films, adding that he can't think of associating himself with anything and everything.bollywood Updated: Feb 03, 2012 20:06 IST
Actor Akshaye Khanna says it wasn't a conscious decision not to sign too many films, adding that he can't think of associating himself with anything and everything."It's not that I avoid signing many films in a year but, yes, I don't want myself to associate with anything and everything," Akshaye, whose forthcoming film Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai is releasing Friday, told IANS.
"Gali Gali... happened because the script attracted me and I didn't stop myself from giving the nod to the movie. It was a spontaneous decision and now I can confidently admit that this role is so far my best role."
People from the lower middle class to high officials will relate to my character, who is a middle-class family man. This is what makes this role one of the benchmarks in my career," added the actor who was last seen in Farah Khan's directorial venture Tees Maar Khan.The theme of Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai is corruption in the Indian system. However, the actor claims there is hardly any scope for such illegal practices in filmdom.
"In today's time, there is no place where corruption is not prevalent, but I feel proud to be part of the industry where there is no scope for corruption. We wake up, go to work, finish it off and then come back...where is the time to think about shortcuts?" Akshaye said.The movie grabbed headlines when Anna Hazare, who has been pioneering the anti-corruption movement in the country, watched Gali Gali...,"Since I always keep a low profile and avoid getting into limelight, I feel fortunate enough in not being part of any corruption-related issue," he added.
In the movie, the problem of corruption is told through the eyes of bank cashier Bharat, played by Akshaye, who accidentally gets caught in the corrupt system and the more he tries to wriggle out, the deeper he sinks into it.While Momukshu Mudgal has penned the story, Rumi Jafri has helmed the project, which also has Shriya Saran, Mugdha Godse, Satish Kaushik and Annu Kapoor who will be seen taking the story forward.
The 36-year-old has films like Taal, Border, Dil Chahta Hai,Hungama,Hulchul, Gandhi - My Father and Race to his credit.His next will be Chand Bhai with Vidya Balan.

The Chicago Sun-Times said in its early editions today that the six-member Historical Commission went beyond its mandate to examine documents by interviewing witnesses, including Waldheim's former commanding officer and his top Nazi aide. They told the panel that Waldheim's unit was responsible for deporting thousands of Jews to death camps. Meanwhile, Justice Department sources confirmed that the department had officially notified the commission that its own yearlong investigation of Waldheim "proved personal awareness of war crimes."

N NEW YORK — Every time it appeared momentum was finally shifting in the Red Storm's favor, Creighton had an answer. St. John's dropped its first Big East contest of the year on Thursday, falling 80-70 to the Bluejays (10-4, 1-0) at Carnesecca Arena in a game marred with missed opportunities and the Johnnies' inability to come up with key stops in the second half. "I'm not exactly sure why," Red Storm guard Durand Johnson said when asked why his team couldn't keep pace with Creighton over the game's final 15 minutes. "The energy was there. The confidence was there. It was just one of those things where we just have to keep building."
It's the fourth loss in a row for the Johnnies (7-7, 0-1) , who are still in search of their first win since upsetting rival Syracuse 84-72 at Madison Square Garden on December 13.
"Overall, it was just OK. Not good enough to win," St. John's coach Chris Mullin said. "Our overall pace and energy has to increase."
After trailing by as much as nine early in a sloppy first half, the Johnnies cut the Bluejays lead to just 39-37 three minutes into the second frame after Johnson drained a deep three from the right wing.
With the near sell-out crowd at Carnesecca Arena finally coming alive, Creighton immediately responded with a three of its own from junior guard Maurice Watson.
Red Storm center Yankuba Sima followed with a powerful two-handed slam to trim the Bluejays lead to just three, but the freshman was hit with a technical foul for hanging on the rim.
After nailing the free throw, Creighton guard Isaiah Zierden buried a clutch corner three, pounding his chest as the crowd fell silent.
The Bluejays, paced by center Geoffrey Groselle's game-high 22 points on 9-10 shooting, never led by less than six the rest of the game, as the Nebraska school shot an efficient 52 percent in the second half.
Groselle, Watson (17 points), Huff (14) and James Milliken (11) all finished in double figures for Creighton.
"We've just got to get better," Johnson said. "I feel like we have. We just have to keep pushing, keep building and keep moving forward."
Freshman point guard Federico Mussini, whose 14 points-per-game lead the Red Storm, was held in check the entire day, as the Italian product scored just five points while shooting 1-8 from the field.
Johnson, who scored 14 in the contest, was a mere afterthought in the second half, contributing just two points over the game's final 12 minutes.
One of the few bright spots for St. John's was freshman guard Malik Ellison, who scored a team- and career-high 17 points and snagged six rebounds in just 24 minutes.
After missing eight games with a left foot injury earlier in the season, Ellison's work ethic and a gritty play will give the Red Storm a tremendous boost to the Red Storm as he gets healthier, according to Mullin.
"He came to us on crutches basically," the St. John's head man said. "He's a hard worker. We all know he's going to be a heck of a player, but it's all about getting experience in game time."
Creighton coach Greg McDermott agreed with Mullin on Ellison's future, saying he and his teammates are poised to become a real threat in the Big East in the coming seasons.
"You just have to point to the win against Syracuse and look at how well they played," McDermott said. "It's there, but with inexperience comes inconsistency, usually."
He added that he fully expects Sima, specifically, to become "one heck of a player in our league in the years to come."
The Red Storm look to snap their four-game skid on the road against Providence on Saturday, while Creighton returns home to square off with Villanova.FREE THROWS Thon Maker was in New York on New Year's Eve but his trip to St. John's was foiled by traffic. He is considering the Johnnies along with Arizona State, Kansas, Indiana and Notre Dame….St. John's target Rawle Alkins also played at The Grind Session at Baruch and discussed St. John's and Arizona here….2017 Putnam Science Academy (CT) guard Hamidou Diallo also visited St. John's this week.

Following numerous contentious battles and adventures, Heru, with the help of his Mother would go on to obtain rulership of the land of Kemet (Egypt) and thereby redeem his Father Ausar (Osirus).
Son VS Father - The Son commences to trouble his Father's authority when his Father reveals a deficiency of faith that the Son can execute his targets. In the movement image Adhering to Earth we see the relationship of the Hero to the Hawk in the "Leap of Faith" sequence wherever the hawk chases Kitai down and then carries him off to her nest to be meals for her little one chicks. It is down below that the monster reveals by alone to the initiate and need to be fought to the death.
Initiate Vs . Mother nature, Beasts, and Self (Dread)
It is at this stage in the movie that we come across that younger Kitai, although exhibiting remarkable actual physical traits is lacking in psychological and psychological regulate, issues which he will be pressured to deal with afterwards on in the film.
Just about each individual hero tale you have at any time go via or seen performed out on the silver monitor is dependent on the mythos of Heru. In accordance to the Concise Encyclopedia an "archetype" is "Primordial impression, character, or sample of situation that recurs in the system of literature and imagined constantly enough to be viewed as universal." Literary critics adopted the time interval from Carl Gustav Jung's concept of the collective unconscious. Evaluate that plenty of burgeoning African American film makers experience all also ready to dismiss in their movie producing program of motion, as these characteristics are generally sorely lacking in the plots and storylines of the bigger part of Black cinema.
The "Just after Earth" screenplay was penned by Gary Whitta and M. It is perfectly truly worth noting correct right here that the stars of these movies ended up all Caucasian males, and none of them appeared like me. Illustrations of archetypal symbols consist of matters like the snake, whale, eagle, and vulture. The Son has enable his Father down in a profound way, which has prompted psychological and actual bodily detachment.
Leap of Religion - Jumping off a cliff in the hopes that his brash act will have him to his intention.. Be concerned, question and disbelief dies in this short article, and the gentleman, the warrior is in a posture to be born. This is an evident impression of Kitai's mythic romance to Heru the Neter*** of the Solar and the Sky... It is the accountability of the Son to comprehend achievements his Father as ruler of the land or EARTH, but only Soon after he has demonstrated himself deserving to do so. On approaching the Typical, the soldier declared that the Common expert saved his lifestyle and questioned to be "stood up," or in Biblical terms, "built upright", by his companions so that he could make a suited salute to his hero (savior). My chosen videos associated "Tron," "Superman," "The Ultimate Star Fighter," and "Dune." The heroes in all all those films experienced super powers, tremendous intelligence, and professional to dig deep to defeat added-ordinarily complicated predicaments, normally at great non-public demand. Evening Shyamalan, with the story by Will Smith, tells the kind of tale that Black leisure has not seen the likes of in a really, seriously intensive time.
Initiate should really deal with and prevail around numerous trials in purchase to get there at their aim (manhood)
Initiate has to enter the Cave of Darkness/Fear. Given that archetypes originate in pre-logical assumed, they are held to evoke startlingly comparable inner thoughts in reader and creator. The lesson is this: when authority is wrong or will become oppressive, it have to be disobeyed by the hero in order for justice to be concluded.
It is important that you know that the tale of Ausar (Osiris) and Heru (Horus) has been stated to and retold across the world and can be uncovered in numerous versions, the names and figures and even some of the situations could alter, but the root of the tale remains the identical. Fathers, if you have been hunting for a film to decide on your sons to that will aid you to begin out a profound dialogue about rites of passage and escalating into a male, you will want to verify this out.
By and substantial, the legends, folklore and traditions of Africans and other indigenous cultures, have been demonized via faith and western way of life, and so it appears to be we shun the magical and fantastical photographs of ourselves as sorcerers, demigods and heroes.
Initiation was vital in indigenous tribes for the rationale that it was a method by which the youthful boys and women of all ages of a available way of living or tribe were being becoming guided by suggests of in buy to train, get ready and transfer them by indicates of the portion of childhood into adulthood and all the attendant rites and tasks which adulthood entailed.
Initiate reaches bodily aim but really should nevertheless go superior in purchase to reconnect spiritually with his Father - Kitai finds the beacon even so it does not mail the indicator. Hell, in most of the films with a futuristic topic there was not even a Black unique man or woman solid as an further! As if, as Richard Pryor so eloquently location it, white people right now finished up not anticipating us to be in the upcoming.
Defying Authority or "The Approach" in acquire to do what is suited.
Son is despatched out to confront the features and enemies by yourself, but with the "non secular advice" of the Father. In Shortly immediately after Earth, the spiritual assistance of the Father is represented by the com-link that retains them in voice communication, and the "All Seeking at Eyes" or cameras that the Father deploys in acquire to notice his Son's growth and to check out out for menace.
The solutions that the Father and Son archetype will choose in the film "Quickly just after Earth" are mentioned beneath.
Kitai will support the hawk to protect the nest but fails to preserve the predators from killing all of the newborn birds.
Initiate will have to protected and ration limited quantity of delivers, ie foods, consuming water, clinical
The Heru Mythos
!!!SPOILER Notify!!! - We are heading to be speaking about the story and plotline from this movement photo and by carrying out so aspects of the real tale are going to be disclosed. He loves his Father but is resentful of him for the purpose that he appreciates that he has fallen shorter of his Father's anticipations and/or achievements and he yearns to be like his Father and even to surpass him, in get to acquire his delight in and regard. These tales show up down to us from the land of ancient Kemet, now identified as Egypt.
Surviving the aspects - identifying thermal heat vents and shelter to maintain warm during chilly spells.
By ending his endeavor, the initiate is in a placement to return house and redeem (preserve) his Father who was symbolically lifeless and in the underworld or in a deep soul slumber from which only the sons sacrifice could maintain him. As a ruler, he is perpetually produced to sit on a throne and solid his judgment on these who have these days handed on. Heru was an historic African deity or Neter (pressure or element of character) and the template for all excellent kings. [This is unveiled symbolically as Kitai's Father Cipher was caught in the chair within the ship and employing the ships camera's (spiritual eyes) and the comm. Kitai awakes when finding nibbled on by the new child chicks, but finds that the hawk nest is fewer than assault by feline predators intent on ingesting the chicks.
It will choose review of classical literature, earth mythology and symbology in obtain to use the above stated tale variables with any diploma of effectiveness. just just after his father Ausar (Osiris) is murdered and his brother requires in extra of the kingdom of Kemet, it turns into the mission of Heru and is Mother Auset (Isis) to get Heru on the throne as the rightful ruler of the land. the initial sky - walker.
There are many other illustrations of the mythological and archetypal symbolism that are included into the movement photograph Right after Earth that I was not in a position to touch on like the Mom as the "Queen of Heaven," or the Sister as the "Non secular Guardian" of her Brother. So you can see that the movie Just just after Earth has a entire lot far more depth to it than fulfills the relaxed eye.
Initiation normally begins with instruction and instruction, and in the film we get started with the most essential character coaching with his navy academy course. **
Some critics dislike this movement photograph largely since they know what Mr. Initiate is set in mortal threat in invest in to force a adjust of mind and heart.
Stamina (Respiratory related to inhalers)
Father demands complete obedience and adherence to his recommendations and guidelines as he does not completely have faith in the psychological and real physical abilities of the Son.
Beneath I will determine a lot of factors of the motion photograph "Soon after Earth" that make this film deserving of seeking at over and in excess of all over again. (This is a mask for the commencing of the initiatory journey.)
To involve amounts of depth and fragile complexity to their tales, adept writers and directors are in a position to use the archetypical and symbolic variables of the heroes and heroines of ancient mythological tales and people and fairy tales. Kitai could not manage his dread and pressure and stress and anxiety and hence produced a state of affairs where by by his life span was in possibility and forcing him to flee from the confrontation he recognized out of stress. Even though Smith's common viewers could maybe be slow to co-signal this film for two motives, a single is they are not utilised to seeking at African Us citizens engage in these forms of roles, (even even though they will shell out again primary dollar to watch Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Keanu Reaves play these roles about and all around once once again,) and two, they you need to not certainly understand the themes portrayed in this film because of to the actuality that as a tradition, we finished up stripped of our initiatory methods and our stories, and as a stop outcome we are utilised to seeking at these kinds of roles performed by White or Asian actors and actresses.
Initiate should really working experience and defeat his worry right here symbolized by the "Ursa" monster. Couple of Black writers investigate the realm of science fiction, fantasy, or establish video clips with a magical or mythological thought.
In the fantasy Heru's Father Ausar (Osiris) is betrayed and murdered by his jealous brother Proven. It is the Son's posture in the close to redeem or help save his Father, which will make him a suited alternative for his Father, and which earns him the suitable to convert out to be a Father in his very personal ideal.
Some of the archetypes that "Shortly immediately after Earth" tends to make use of involve, the "Father," reasonable and valiant, even now fundamentally divided from his son, because of to some perceived weak point or character flaw inside of of the Son. At present remaining reduced off from interaction with the Father is symbolic of at this time currently being cast down from heaven, which was shown pretty much as Kitai took a leap off the prime of a waterfall in disobedience to his Father's obtain that he return dwelling. Smith is making an attempt to attain with this kind of motion picture, and they hardly ever like it. We have comedies, movement comedies, the all essential "Jesus Will Correct It" movie and "Heat Ghetto Mess Drama," (normally not the very good assortment), and preceding but not minimum is the "Catharsis Drama" - films about profound struggling and abuse and how the figures the location ready to someway carry on after remaining each victimized and traumatized. Out of anger and irritation he hears the spiritual voice of his Father telling him to choose a knee, (reduce his bodily mother nature so that he could listen to to his increased "spirit" character) - his father then tells him that he should to go better, to the prime rated of a shut by mountain so that he can deliver out their beacon sign (plea for help) into the heavens.
It is no important that a lot of movement, fantasy and science fiction flicks have historic magical and mythological components integrated into the content of their tales to see titans, gods, goddesses and fairies as characters in up to date day cinema is a fairly commonplace incidence - with a person caveat, these individuals rather a lot by no suggests search in films composed or directed by Blacks, or with an all Black cast.
The hawk mourns the reduction of her newborn chicks with a screech of rage and commences to notice Kitai in the air, which appears menacing in the starting, but we find out out later on that the Hawk has bonded with Kitai and she afterwards drags him to fundamental protection and shields him from the cold by making use of her extremely have physique warmth to preserve him from freezing. Heru has to go via yrs of teaching underneath the auspices of his Mom Auset, His Aunt Nebhet (Nephtys) and the diminutive Bes who is the Neter of tiny a person delivery, enjoyment and war. An archetypal subject is the passage from innocence to come across archetypal figures involve the blood brother, rebel, clever grandparent, and prostitute with a coronary coronary heart of gold."
Below is an define of initiatory procedures as seasoned by the ancients and portrayed in "Just after Earth"
When it will appear to Black cinema we have several alternatives for our movie very likely gratification. Url (religious interaction) to observe earlier mentioned and existing guidance to Kitai]
The graphic of Heru was the Hawk. This theme would conduct by itself out once again as the Regular would make the ask for "stand me up", so that he could salute his son -this unique movie sequence signifies the son "redeeming" or "preserving" his Father.
Getting back to the mythos of Heru... In the movie Star Wars Yoda performed the element of the coach (Bes) to Luke Skywalker (Heru).
Assisting Mother Nature to protect her kids - preventing for the lives of the newborn hawks compared to the assaults of the feline predators.
Son fails to reach an anticipated reason, and is judged by Father to be a failure. You can browse about his exploits in "The Passion of Osiris (Ausar)" and "A Tale of Two Brothers". This creature can pretty much odor your anxiety. This perform brought on his interaction hyperlink to his Father to be damaged, leaving the Son by oneself and without steering at a essential stage of the mission/initiation.
Why "Right soon after Earth" is Nicely worth Seeing
The archetype of the "Son/Sunlight" in flicks has the son pursuing in his Father's footsteps, when at the same time in search of to make his have mark. Ausar is resurrected as the spiritual ruler of the underworld or afterlife. This demise is not a precise actual physical one ordinarily, but signifies the reduction of existence of the childish character of the boy and the start off of the gentleman. In Straight away following Earth this is unspoken, even though in some tales the Father tells the Son outright that he is a failure.
Upon accomplishing the mountaintop, the initiate is able to wholly conquer himself and as a stop final result his personalized concern and is as a result ready to demolish the monster and mail a beacon into the heavens to receive a rescue and a return to his heavenly dwelling.
Trek By way of Mother nature in Solitude With a Mission to Complete
The makers of "Appropriate after Earth" also make use of archetypes to support them notify their tale. Observe detailed in this article that "Ursa" is an supplemental establish for a Bear which in some indigenous tribes seasoned to be confronted and triumph about by the young teens of the tribe in get for them to flip into males.
Further Ways on the Route
Dealing with healthcare sudden emergency - poisoning by river leach and self administration of anti-venom.
Son Compelled to Offer with Enemy (Be concerned) On your possess - In the movement photo fret is represented by the Ursa, which is a monster that tracks its enemies by suggests of pheromones introduced when its prey is concerned. I am seeking forward to extra of this variety of movement photograph from not only Will Smith and crew, but from other Black film-makers as very well.
Son in lookup of Father
Teaching will contain true bodily and psychological do the job out and checks meant to give initiates/cadets command about their bodies, their emotions and their minds.
The throne motif is critical as it was foreshadowed in Just right after Earth by the soldier in the wheelchair, who approached the Fundamental and his Son. If you seriously will not want to spoil the film in advance of you've got bought viewed it, Stop NOW, and then seem back before long right after you have acquired observed it to choose portion in this investigation. He was frequently depicted with wings and owning the head or mask of a hawk. It is Bes who trains Heru to be a warrior. Luke took Worry into the cave with him and was confronted by it in the wide range of his Father, Darth Vader - while this Vader was purely a growth of Luke's fearful concepts.
I was born in 1976 and outside the house the home of "Blaxploitation" flicks, there have been no African American motion or science fiction stars. It is only when the Son has mastered himself that he can triumph more than the dread within just him, which the Ursa beast in the movie symbolizes.
Dealing with confrontation with probably hazard.
Father and Son embark on journey to try out to mend the rift involving them. This movie is chock complete of all the factors that make a terrific tale and I for a person certainly come to feel that the story of Following Earth was masterfully advised. This is possibly the MOST important part of the movie when Kitai chooses to outright disobey the quick invest in of his Father. Quite a few times these aspects are applied so skillfully as to be barely determined by the greater part of the motion picture probably neighborhood, but to the competent eye, these matters are obvious.
It is really worthy of noting right below that Kitai unsuccessful his first occur on with threat (the monkeys) spectacularly! His Father described to him to choose command of his Electrical power and notice what he makes. Viewers will select discover that cadets in the navy go by a strategy of initiation created to strip them of their existence as a civilian to remold them as a soldier, and make no slip-up, this system of initiation was taken from the ancient indigenous cultures of Africa and handed down by way of other cultures and societies through the world.
Son Redeems (Saves) Father, Returns Residence a Male, Understands and Will turn into Father.
Surviving a predator - The Raptor or Hawk symbolizing Heru*
Allow us start out by getting a seem at the concept of initiation that runs all more than "Just just after Earth".
Father and Son experience disaster, which only the two of them endure, leaving the Father severely wounded and possessing to depend on the Son for salvation.
Son Disobeys Father and is Cutoff, Solid Out or Cast Down. In initiation, this is to be anticipated.

Advent is the beginning of the Christian Calendar and introduces us to the Season of Light. We can easily forget that Jesus came to a disenfranchised people, a politically powerless people who had known little but exile and occupation for generations.
Far from being a season of glitz and warm fuzzies, advent reminds us that Christ came into darkness and brought light with him. He came into a... more

The Lotus Eaters
(Tom Kratman)
Sometimes (actually, quite often) controversial, Tom Kratman's series of books featuring Patrick Hennessy/Cararra have always worked on two levels, first as adventure fiction and then as a primer to the rules and realities of modern war. The Lotus Eaters, the third book in the series changes gear; rather than fighting terrorists, the LdC is preparing for war against internal and external enemies. The corrupt regime that used to run Balboa and the Tauran Union (a parody of the EU.)
The background to the story is simple. Earth discovered, quite by accident, a rift in space that led to a world called Terra Nova. Earth started to ship colonists from the entire world to the new world, with the result that Terra Nova is effectively a mirror of our own world. (The Federated States of Columbia is America; Balboa is Panama; Volga is Russia; Gaul is France; etc.) To add to the confusion, United Earth, taken over by a regime that makes the USSR look sweet and kind, has dispatched a 'Peace Fleet' to Terra Nova, with the intent of preventing Terra Nova from ever becoming a threat to crumbling Earth. I'm not sure that this works as well as it should – it's probably better to look at it as our own world, seen through a dark mirror – but that doesn't matter. The ideas are well worth study.
Cararra – the prime mover of the series – lost his wife and family during a terrorist strike. As heir to a massive fortune, he moved to Balboa/Panama and created an army to wage merciless war against the terrorists who threatened his world. His strict adherence to the laws of war, including reprisals and shooting terrorists without mercy, horrified the sensibilities of the world, but he didn't care. Throughout books one and two, Cararra grew darker and darker, eventually committing acts so horrifying that he collapsed just after winning his war. Unfortunately for him, history keeps moving on…
As the story opens, Balboa is partitioned between Cararra's regime and territory controlled by the remains of the former government, backed up by French-controlled soldiers from Europe (sorry; Gaul and the Tauran Union; Tom missed out on a chance to make an Asterix joke). The former government is making a bid to regain control, using proxy forces against the Legion, while the outsiders are plotting to bring in an army to destroy the Legion. In the midst of this cold war, Cararra wages war against the drug lords who are threatening his country and Columbia, unaware that a coup plot is underway....
Or, for that matter, that his semi-ally from the Peace Fleet has returned to Earth and been granted a new commission by the UN, command of the Peace Fleet with a mandate to terminate the threat from Terra Nova once and for all.
But that isn't all. Throughout the book, there are snippets from a History and Moral Philosophy course and explorations of political theory, particularly as relates to Balboa's new system of 'Government by Virtue' (effectively Heinlein's Federal Service concept from Starship Troopers.) It adds an extra layer to the book.
[It's worth noting the irony that Cararra created a limited socialist workers paradise, even though probably not intentionally.]
One thing I should note, right from the start, is that the Lotus Eaters is mainly geared around the run-up to the coming war, rather than the war itself. The actual war is laid down for the next book in the series. It actually makes a welcome change in some places as we get to explore some of the developments in Balboa and how the world as a whole is responding to the Legion and its effects. If you hate cliffhangers, you probably won't be pleased when you come to the end of the story.
A point I should make, right from the start, is that this is the book where Terra Nova effectively divorces itself from present-day Earth. On our Earth, the concept of the European Union effectively holding half of Panama under its thumb would be unthinkable. The EU is not, and never will be, a European version of the US. It was not, some modern claims to the contrary not withstanding, designed to provide a counter-balance to the US. The idea of Britain, France, Germany and Spain collaborating to launch such a mission is…unlikely…and, even if it were possible, the US would react strongly against it. America's geopolitical imperatives demand that it maintains military supremacy in North America; a European base, no matter how benevolent, would threaten that supremacy. No US President since Buchanan has significantly undermined the fundamental basis of US power. (No, not even Carter or Clinton.)
Although the story is generally quieter than the previous two books, it does feature a considerable amount of character development. Most importantly of all, the story features something that the first two books lacked – a creditable and competent threat to Balboa, in the form of the Peace Fleet's new commander and her immediate subordinate. (The 'French' commander of the TU force in Balboa makes General Melchett of Blackadder Goes Forth look sane and competent; the moron in charge of the coup plot was an idiot, admittedly one who almost pulled it off.) His son – Hannibal – is growing up into his role. Cararra is also growing up and becoming more mature – insofar as such a term can be used – as he recognises that he might have gone too far in earlier books.
(There is a certain irony here. Cararra collapses over what I would consider a legitimate act of war, but not over a far viler and disgusting act.)
To give Tom full credit, the book includes considerable discussion of the cold realities of war and human nature. Tom doesn't ignore the hypocrisy inherent at the heart of the war on drugs. The drug gangs are so powerful because they have something that US citizens want and their government doesn't allow them to have. The US's attempt to blame Latin American Governments for this is, at best, silly. The price that US citizens are prepared to pay for drugs ensures that the drug lords are too powerful to be rooted out and destroyed, as the US would wish. The vast amounts of American money they have at their disposal corrupts and undermines local governments. It is, in essence, a counter-insurgency campaign against insurgents who are literally funded by their enemies. The simplest way to win the war on drugs would be to legalise drugs and tax them – basically, treat them as alcohol.
As always, Tom asks uncomfortable questions and challenges our ideas about how the world works. Roll on the next one.

What album led you to where you are now musically?
This sort of stuff should generally get some good stories.
The Offspring - Americana
1998, still a young teenager, heard the "Pretty Fly" single, liked it bought the album. Introduced me to heavier music, through pop-punk then nu-metal (I was 13/ 14 at the time, what do you expect?).
Soon began to look out for other stuff and a burgeoning collection started. Began to go more mental when I went to my first gig at at 16 (also The Offspring as it happens) started to go to an ungodly amount of local gigs and bands on the toilet circuit. Also the local rock club had an epic-ly good dj, from these gigs and him I heard Hundred Reasons, Biffy Clyro, Refused, ended up seeing Dillinger Escape Plan in a support slot.
That is my condensed road to being a big music fan, whats yours?
probably Teeny Shiny by Melt Banana
i found it in my local (crap) second hand record store and i remembered that someone had said they were supposed to be good so i bought it.
Listening to it was pretty much 'woah! music can sound like this?' cause before i'd been into led zeppelin/the stranglers/pink floyd, basically stuff my dad liked, and i'd never really heard anything like it before. Thanks, Melt Banana.
Good work, Melt-Banana also!
I heard them on the radio and it was like NOFX but a billion times more exciting. Radio 1 was playing Carrot Rope by Pavement around the same time & that was good too. And before that it was Nevermind borrowed from my friend at school, who still wears his Kurdt Kobain t-shirts even now!
So many twists and turns
along the way, probably for most here.
Grew up on a steady dose of Beach Boys, Beatles, Monkees, John Denver, Cat Stevens, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. I listened to whatever my brother got down with after that, which was all garbage, Bryan Adams, Peter Cetera, Ace of Base.
When I turned 12 I started buying up my own stuff. First 3 albums I bought were: Green Day - Dookie, Offspring - Smash, and Counting Crows - August and Everything After. Next few years I messed around with stuff like Blink 182, Weezer, Pearl Jam etc etc. When I was 13 or 14 I got into Bob Marley which got me into ska, also into crap like Sublime and 311 (unlistenable now).
Then I discovered Doggystyle.
Other 'gateway' albums of mine and where they lead me to:
Outkast- ATLiens (future rap)
Roots-Things Fall Apart (conscious raps)
Tool-Aenima (harder rock)
ISIS-Oceanic (post rock)
DJ Shadow-Endtroducing (electronic, instrumental, trip hop))
John Coltrane-Love Supreme (jazz)
D'angelo-Voodoo (r&b, soul)
Ultramagnetic MCs- (old raps)
Spoon-Girls CAn Tell (indieness)
Tons more, thats what came off the top.
probably mellon collie and the infinite sadness
i'd bought the obligitory nirvana, green day, hole etc albums of the era before but this was the first one that really hit me and I became obsessed with, think a taste for miserable, pretentious and overblown music has stuck with me ever since
I'm old
so for me it was Guns N Roses Appettite for Destruction and U2's Joshua Tree and no I am not the slightest bit embarrassed. Led to The Pixies and Shoe Gaze and early 90s indie like Ride and Curve, then Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit blew it all away and here we are...
Probably Scream, Dracula, Scream! by Rocket from the Crypt
or something. Maybe even Nevermind, because I remember my cousins giving me a TAPE of that to listen on my Walkman tape player when I went on holiday, and that was like a million years ago. One o' 'em, I think.
On A Rope on TOTP was mint
but all I did was watch the VHS TAPE of TOTP over and over again and not buy the single/album. Same goes for Diggin' Tha Grave by Faith No More.
Holiday tapes too yes.
We had a sweet set up
where the telly went through the stereo speakers, so we could record songs OFF THE TELLY and onto TAPES. So, before we went on holiday, my sister and I would make rad TELLY MIXTAPES and would try to time it perfectly before we caught the start of the next song or an advert or a presenter speaking.
aw maan
I specifically remember trying to hook that sort of thing up! But it wasn't happening and the walkman with the built-in mic made everything sound like Times New Viking in a wind tunnel. In a bad way.
Oh yeah, I totally hurt my arm the other day
when I was drumming along to SDS! I'm no good at all.
When I was a child I used to listen to horrible modern rock radio-this was maybe 2000-2001.
The station I listened to had a traffic report that came on at five o clock every day and it had this background music that gradually started to fascinate me to the point where the music the station played became unlistenable and I started tuning in only for the traffic report, whose mysterious bassline haunted me day in and day out. I don't know how I found out it was "The National Anthem" by Radiohead but I got the Kid A album, put it on and as soon as "Everything In It's Right Place" came on I knew I would never be the same again.
Bloc Party's Silent Alarm
I mean, i liked Nirvana and loads of other (mostly rubbish) stuff, but when I got that i was like 'woah'
I started exploring their influences and through them i got into Radiohead, New Order/Joy Division, Bjork, Gang of Four, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, literally everyone.
"literally everyone"?
Just wondering, because that list of bands doesn't seem to cover the widest range of genres. Although I suppose you have to narrow the list down, otherwise you would have to list literally everyone, and that, quite literally, could take a long time.
hmmmmmm thats a toughy, but probably Relationships of Command
reinventing axl rose by Against Me! aaannd maybe a Jurassic 5 album or something, maybe Power In Numbers (it would be cooler if i said 'quality control' though). Infact that might be the most important record, not because i particularly care for it now, and even immediately i knew that i had heard better records, but that was probably when i started listening to stuff outside of just punk/hardcore and stuff like that, and now i pride myself on my diverse/eclectic tastes. That was many moons ago now, and now im nostalgia tripping, thanks.
Pretty sure it was Funeral
Pretty, pretty, pretty sure. I mean, I was listening to Nirvana and stuff before that, but who wasn't, y'know? Funeral was the album that actually drove me to start developing my taste for myself, anyway.
Is This It
Opened the door for me. I liked the sound of the record, it was the first time I actually listened to *how* the elements of a song worked together.
GOOD shout, 'rabbit.
VERY GOOD. This may have had a hand as well. Oh and, in a similar vein, White Blood Cells by The White Stripes. They were out around the same time, I think, cos I remember buying them quite close together, not long after they were out, and thinking "Wow, this is so good."
I'd hear Oasis and Blur and the whole Britpop thing on the radio or whatever, but all that had happened when I was 6 or so, so it wasn't really 'my' music.
It was the whole Nu Rock Revolution thing. The White Stripes, The Strokes and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Suddenly music just made sense, if you get me? I realized why people got so obsessed with it. I was 12/13 when Is This It came out, so for me it was like my own mini "Elvis" moment. It just made sense.
I had a weird period where I flirted with Nu Metal, but thankfully Nirvana and my old man made me see the light. My dad dropped Revolver and Bringing It All Back Home on me. Revolver was pivotal for me - I'd never heard sounds like it before. Couldn't believe I'd grown up with The Beatles playing constantly on my dad's stereo and never stopped to appreciate it. I wanted more stuff like that, weird and unexpected tones and sounds, and my mate suggested Radiohead, specifically The Bends. Holy fuck! It was like getting hit in the face with a tuneful velvet glove.
The Beatles and Radiohead got me into experimental stuff, such as MBV, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, even DJ Shadow and Aphex Twin. Then I just gradually expanded my tastes. It's fun looking back and seeing how each record was a link in a chain.
But yeah, The Strokes and The White Stripes I think saved a lot of kids from the horrors of Nu Metal and the Nu Acoustic Movement. They've inspired some absolutely horrific bands, though, so I suppose it's one of those bittersweet situations.
Song To Ruin
I remember pretty much exclusively being into dance music of the really techy electronic kind with fairly few exceptions (although hearing DJ Shadow's 'Entroducing' made me change my mind about what electronic music could sound like) and then I heard a couple of songs by them and realised that unlike a lot of rock songs I'd heard on the radio, punk rock could still sound urgent, political and fresh.
Subsequently hearing them on John Peel's radio show (which also opened up my ears to a lot of interesting music) and seeing them live sealed the deal.
tom waits - mule variations
was 12 when my dad brought it home. freaked me out, made complete sense. or beck's odelay a year or two earlier, from woolworths in cornwall. i did buy two stereophonics albums after this, it wasnt all cool.
I get the feeling that
Funeral was to my generation what Nevermind was to the generation before. A record so incredibly well crafted that it basically turned music on its head. The only difference is that everyone knew about Nirvana. Granted the Arcade Fire are by no means unpopular and they are among the most well known indie bands, but Funeral dropped after the internet had already taken root and remained slightly underground while still being massively popular among indie crowds.
The Cure's The Head on the Door
I guess. If we're talking albums that cemented a path towards "indie". I remember liking the punk/post-punk stuff that my brother used to play, but don't think I ever got into a *band* (aside from Kiss 5 or 6 years earlier) until I heard "Inbetween Days".
Maybe showing my age but
Dookie by Green Day and Smash by The Offspring, followed by a load of skate punk stuff like Punk in Drublic by NOFX led me to where I am now.
I don't listen to that sort of stuff any more, but if I looked through my CD collection I could probably trace a line back to it.
Me and you bud...
me and you. How life changes.
I'm not sure there's ever been just one
Even Sheryl Crow got me into R.E.M., which broadened out into loads of other areas.
But the one record I have to say changed the kind of records I was into most would likely be the 'Kids' OST. I had become addicted to 'Natural One' by Folk Implosion and was wearing it out, so I trundled down the shop and bought the soundtrack.
At first I was wholly unconvinced by it, but after a few listens I started to adore it's variety.
The brilliant hiphop track on it by Lo-Down got me far more interested in hiphop than anything previously had done, and started paving a way. Likewise, the Sebadoh and Folk Implosion tracks got me seriously interested in lo fi records for a 2 year period.
I also got hooked on Daniel Johnston's croaky ways and the awesome 'Good morning captain' by Slint, opening the door to lots of older acts I'd missed.
So I guess that'd be my defining 'moment', in terms of a record that got me into more like what I'm into now.
Television - Marquee Moon
Never the rose without the brick.
There's a few...
Origin Of Symmetry by Muse
Free All Angels by Ash
Grace by Jeff Buckley
Ok Computer by Radiohead
Muse led me in a proggy direction, and music with very prominent rhythm sections - Pink Floyd/Yes/Mars Volta/At The Drive-In/ Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters/Refused/Rage etc etc
Ash led me in a poppy direction - Teenage Fanclub/ The Thrills/ The Beach Boys/ Graham Coxon/ Subways / Supergrass
Jeff Buckley led me towards folk and country - Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst in general/ Elliott Smith/ Ryan Adams/ Neil Young etc
Radiohead - anything vaguely moody... Interpol, Arcade Fire, Elbow, Doves...
when i went into Year 7 a friendgave me a cassette
on one side was Ride the Lightening, on the other, half of Nevermind, and some songs by Dio, Sabbeth and Motorhead.
i then went out and bought my first 4 cassettes: In Utero, Troublegum, Pandoras Toys, and ...And Justice For All.
Relationship of Command and Full Collapse
are without question the two that are responsible for 'where I'm at now' musically.
There's probably a few more, but the ones that spring to mind...
Muse - Showbiz & Radiohead - OK Computer - the first time I really became utterly obsessed with bands. Words can't explain how disappointed I was with Absolution, and I don't care for Muse anymmore, but at the time they were a big deal. Radiohead have remained my favourite throughout though.
At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command and Glassjaw - EYEWTKAS - the albums that got me massively into post-hardcore, which was more or less my main listening from 17 to 20.
Radiohead - Kid A & Amnesiac - introduced me to the idea of electronics in music, as part of a band I was already really into.
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing and Massive Attack - Mezzanine - introduced the concept that atmosphere in music was just as (if not more important) than simple musical/lyrical content.
Aphex Twin - The Richard D James album - pretty much my first electronica record and the first thing I got off Warp. Led me down the path to the majority of the stuff I listen to now (dubstep, electronica, ambient, jungle, etc).
I would also probably say Stars Of The Lid's The Tired Sounds of..., which was really my first exposure to proper drone-based ambient music (that and seeing them live on their first UK tour a couple of years ago), which I listen to an awful lot of now.
a musical history of me
The Smiths - got me into all things gangly and indie
The Pixies - Doolittle got me into shouty loud things
De La Soul - Three Feet High...got me back into hip hop but also into soul, funk and disco
Galliano (yes the cheesy Acid Jazzers) - Got me into jazz by doing a couple of (now I know) bad covers of jazz songs
Suede - Suede got me back into all things guitar and lyrics
Massive Attack got me checking out dub/ska/dark hip hop
A messy night with Neil Young's - Harvest got me into acoustic, folk/country tinged music
Radiohead brought it all together
REM's Automatic for the People probably turned me onto music.
Suede's Coming Up turned me onto music in a big way and mostly mainstream indie music.
Belle & Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister turned me onto the less mainstream indie stuff.
i remember like it was yesterday
going into our price and buying a cranberries album on tape, this led to an elastica single, a copied tape from a friend with definitely maybe, another tape with nevermind and bleach on. RHCP Bloodsugarsexmagik.
I do remember thinking i was definitely onto something and would go and buy melody maker, nme & select read them cover to cover over and over again.
I then got a CD player and Parklife, Dookie, Smash and Nirvana Unplugged were played to death.
SMashinG Pumpkins - Mellon Collie was A-Mazing and a prized possession
The Holy Bible by the Manics really got me
The Doors, Rolling Stones - let me to explore dad's records - Pink Floyd, Led ZEp, Beatles etc etc
Chemical Brothers, exit planet dust
OK Computer
Arab Strap... the week never starts...
Air - Moon Safari
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
DJ Shadow - Entroducing
Kid A
lots more
ok computer
introduced me to 'proper' music and changed my ears from that day forward.
i actually listened to this album recently for the first time in ages, and it's fucking mint.
Leisure - Blur
Did a week in an independent record shop when i was 15 and that was the making of me. I was largely uninspired, musically, when i was an early teen. I hated grunge, hated rave, hated hip hop and hated metal (basically everything the "cool" kids listened to) so I listened to my parents' music - U2, Genesis, Dire Straits, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Richard Thompson and loads of random folky stuff along with REM, Cranberries and Beautiful South. Parklife came out roughly the same time as my work experience though and in the shop they kept playing it over and over again which I really got into. Couldn't afford it at the end of the week though so I bought Leisure on tape instead for only £3 which kept me going til Christmas 1994 when the obsession started. I got Definitely Maybe, Parklife, Dog Man Star, Give Out But Don't Give Up - basically loads of stuff that was on Q's best of 1994 CD. It's a cliche but Definitely Maybe inspired me to pick up a guitar and play. It was easy to work out the chords and the girls all loved singing along to me!
I recently spent a weekend organising all my CD's in order of (roughly) when I bought them and it's a fascinating 600 album journey from the Notting Hillbillies to the new Liam Frost that brings back so many memories. I can heartily recommend it.
I wish it was something a little more original but when I heard 'In Bloom' it just clicked and I would never go back to all the britpop I had been listening too. I can't listen to Nirvana anymore but I'll never tire of the Pixies!
Tool & Faith no More
was among the first things that I listened to of my own accord. There was this show on MTV on sunday evenings (in the Netherlands) with this hot lady presenter, I really can't remember the name of the show. I was not allowed to stay up that late then, so I taped it and watched it on mondays after school.
I guess the next big change came with the encounter of Portishead, Massive Attack, Bjork which soon followed to more high energy electronics from Underworld to techno to Aphex. Since then I have just been through so much music, where the likes of Varese and Xenakis, or Zappa changed my views about music immensely. But what changed things all around again was John Zorn. The first thing I heard was Cobra and it was just different, so utterly different. I've been going through everything he's connected to for years now and still there are so many moments of amazement.
Two more that require mentioning: NIN and Antony
Vulger Display of Power by Pantera
or Adrenaline by Deftones
first got me off the usual grunge/pop-punk 13years listened to back then and the second showed that heavy music can have soul and brains
A lot of records I brought around 2002-ish, because thats when I stopped being interested in the sort of MOR indie that was the only alternative music I was aware of when I was at school. I guess Sonic Mook vol 2 and Horse of the Dog by the eighties matchbox were the main ones... although my taste now is not that 'heavy'. I also really liked the Miss Kittin and the Hacker album, and Vitalic. I was a total sucker for what i read in magazines, but it did help me find some wonderful music.
The Strokes - Is This It
At the time i was listening to commercial rap music Dr Dre 2001 Eminem Slim Shady Lp and all the other stuff that came with it. This album made me beleive in guitar music again and led me to White Stripes, Black Rebel Motorcyle Club and the Hives. I was into Oasis and Nirvana and Pearl Jam but they were churning out the same stuff which i only listened to for a couple of months and never really went back to it.
Belle and Sebastians Dear Catastrope Waitress got me in to more indie bands then i went on to discover Pavement then Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth and Mogwai
The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
or Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go. I used to listen to loads of terrible dance remixes, then I discovered the Firestarter video and thought "yeah, that's what I want." No idea how I got into the Manics, or how they entered the equation. Probably a single from EMG featured on some HITS97 comp or something. I then discovered nu-metal and pop-punk. SOMEHOW.
