Grab The SPF 666! New Summer Metal Releases Will Melt Your Face Off14 Jun
Summer is here, and that means the time is right for me to tell you about six more metal releases you need to make room for in your record collection. Read on and listen to the latest sounds of Japanese serial-killer band, Church of Misery, the blunt-force trauma that is High on Fire live, the new Queens of the Stone Age, my thoughts on the new Black Sabbath record, "13", and the first full-length from Austin's heavy metal cowboys, Scorpion Child.
Scorpion Child's self titled debut is due out on June 25st (June 21st UK), and according to the band's official site, "Scorpion Child rocks like 1975, like somebody scrawled Physical Graffiti all over southern rock". A comparison that smacks you right in the face when you hear the vocals of Aryn Schwartz on the track, "Polygon of Eyes". Guitars hurtling at 100 mph, backed by hard-crashing percussion? Check. Songs about booze, women, and rocking out on the top of a mountain? Check. Straddling the line between classic rock and 80's hair metal, Scorpion Child has made a record full of sweet, summer ear candy. And for all you wax-loving metalheads, the band is also releasing the double record on aqua colored vinyl, etched with the Polygon of Eyes logo. Via Nuclear Blast.
There must be something in the water in Texas, because there is some great metal coming from them thar parts this year. Thrash metal band Power Trip hails from Dallas, and their first full length, Manifest Decimation is a face melting masterpiece. It's a hardcore adrenaline rush from the get go, not unlike the one you get listening to Pantera (another Texas export), while running from the cops after knocking off the corner liquor store. Tracks like, "Murderers Row", and the drudge of "Drown" will make you form a mosh pit in your living room. Decimation also broke through to my inner 80's headbanger with the track "Power Trip", and the flat out frenzy of "Heretics Fork". Power Trip vocalist Riley Gale is in full mayhem mode throughout Decimation's 35 minute journey of must-have, head-throttling thrash. Out now via Southern Lord.
I generally like to feature bands that fly a bit lower under the radar than Queens of the Stone Age. However, the band's latest release, Like Clockwork, took me by surprise. Not just because it was good, but because it's easily the band's best release to date. Clockwork is full of beautiful melodies, lyrics, and whining, doom-y sounding guitars. Speaking of lyrics, Josh Homme somehow manages to coolly channel Shawn Cassidy, by working the multi-decade lyric "Da Doo Ron Ron" into the impossibly ear-wiggy track "If I Had A Tail". As if Queen's didn't have enough power on their own to make this one of 2013's best records, they also get some help from Trent Reznor, Elton John, and regular co-conspirtor, Mark Lanegan.
As a huge fan of every version of Black Sabbath in history, and since the reception to the band's first record with the original lineup in 35 years "13" has been somewhat varied, I thought I'd jump into the heavy metal fray with my thoughts on 13. First of all, I don't think that 13 sounds like it's trying to recapture it's former sound and glory. I'm also not saying that 13 doesn't harken back to the band's iconic back catalog, because without question, it does, but in the most carefully crafted way.
Sabbath came together and made a record that sounds better than I had expected, and not like one that got pushed through a meat grinder for money, as I had feared. Tony Iommi's textbook riffs are clearly the stand-out stars of 13. Sounding as heavy as he did in the 70's, especially on the tracks "Methademic", and "Live Forever". Iommi proves that Sabbath's classic stoner groove is still very much alive and well. Speaking of classic, "Damaged Soul" sounds so much like vintage Sabbath, it even comes complete with a harmonica-playing wizard. And what about Ozzy? I won't lie; I've always been a huge fan of the man. That said, it's entirely possible, that despite my 30+ years of adoration, even I wasn't sure Ozzy was up to the task of manning the mighty helm of Sabbath's satanic ship again. As it turns out, I was dead wrong. Osbourne's vocals are strong and controlled; steady, and haunting; nearly matching Iommi's sludgy, epic chops, track for track. 13 is full of pushed-to-the-limit, ominous, bell-tolling metal. And it appears that Black Sabbath's fans agree, as 13 is currently poised to become the band's first ever #1 record.
Thy Kingdom Scum is Japan-based Church of Misery's fourth full-length. Scum picks up where the band's 2009 record left off, and continues their obsession with writing songs about serial killers. Historically, the marriage of serial killers and heavy metal go perfectly together, kind of like Jack and Coke. Here's Scum's bad-guy breakdown: "Brother Bishop" takes on Philadelphia murderer, Gary Michael Heidnik; "All Hallows Eve" is based on 70's spree-killer, John Lynley Fraiger; and if you are a student of the school of serial killing, the thunderous, psychedelic track B.T.K. requires no explanation. Scum's dark focus gets laid back on the creepy track, "Cranley Gardens", named for the address of Briton's answer to Jeffrey Dahmer, Dennis Nilson. There's also completely shook up, non-murder-related cover of "One Blind Mice", originally done by 70's prog-rock band, Quartermass. Like San Fransisco's Orchid, Church of Misery is also possessed by the ghost of early Black Sabbath. Thy Kingdom Scum is an awesomely heavy, utterly dark, fuzzy freaked-out record. Out now from one of my favorite record labels, Metal Blade.
The brutal force of High on Fire comes through loud and fucking clear on the band's new live record, Spitting Fire. The double-live record's production is so clean, it's almost like being there. Which is what any live album worth it's salty licks strives for. Recorded last winter during two back-to-back New York shows at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, and the historic Bowery Ballroom, all 15 crushing tracks from the band's decade-plus old catalog will pummel you until you're black and blacker. If you haven't seen the veteran Oakland-based trio (a band that gives the almighty Slayer a run for their money if you ask me), live yet, you must let the unbridled power of High on Fire live, whip you into a frenzy by way of your turntable immediately. Spitting Fire is out via Relapse Records on June 18th.

Spring Brings Sounds Of Doom, Southern Sludge, And Stoner Rock9 May
Spring is here. Which means the arrival of more metal releases to help cancel out the sounds of the birds chirping at four AM. So, without further delay, here's another set of six highly recommended new metal and hard rock records, that you should give a spin about.
Orchid: The Mouths of Madness.
If you love metal, then you are probably a Black Sabbath fan of at least one or more era's of the bands existence. Ozzy, Dio, Gillan, I love it all. And if you're banging your head in agreement to that last statement, you will love "The Mouths of Madness", the latest record from San Fransisco doom band Orchid. I know it sounds impossible, but Orchid sounds more like Black Sabbath, than Black Sabbath does. Madness is the bands second full-length release, and while it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite, the last track, Wizard of War might be it for me. It is impossible to not dig on Madness' powerful LSD-laced rock, and Theo Mindell's soaring, vintage sounding vocals. Doom rock awaits you!
Coliseum: Sister Faith.
Sister Faith is the fourth record from Louisville band Coliseum. Released on April 30th by Temporary Residence, Faith is full of feedback, tight percussion, and a surprisingly clean metal sound. A beautiful and big sounding record, Faith quickly gets it's riffy hooks into you, and never lets go. Among Faith's many musical contributors, is Jason Loewenstein of indie cult band Sebadoh, and The Fiery Furnaces. Even if you're not the most fist-pumping metalhead on your block, after listening to Sister Faith, you'll likely be prompted to dig through the bands decade old back catalog, and filling some of the holes in your ever growing record library with other Coliseum releases.
Howl: Bloodlines.
How black and dark do you like your metal? If you answered "very" to either or both of those questions, then Rhode Island band Howl is going to shake your doom-maker to it's core. Out on April 30th on Relapse Records, Bloodlines is the bands sophomore record. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of metal fit for the apocalypse, but Howl thrashed me over while I listened to it on a cold, spring day last weekend. In Bloodlines press release, the band describes the records sound as "the child of sweet southern riffs with "primal urgency". Sold.
Ghost BC: Infestisumam
Swedish heavy metal band, Ghost formed in Linkoping back in 2008, and has built a substantial cult following over the last five years. Although at times the bands second record, Infestisumam, had me scratching my heavy metal hair, I wasn't able to stop listening to it. The band dresses like netherworld church figures on stage, and their music reflects that with it's sound. So what does black mass sound like at The Church of Ghost? It's a wide variety of anti-alterboy music infused with organs, crashing percussion, chanting about Lucifer, airy vocals, and buzzy guitars. The records strange likeability is also likely due to the incredible production by Nick Raskulinecz (Deftones, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver). Infestisumam is the bands first major label release (Universal off shoot, and current home to Soundgarden and Cut Copy, Loma Vista) but despite that milestone, Ghost isn't for everyone. Still, my money is on the fact that Ghost just might give you something you didn't even know you were looking for.
Black Tusk 7″ split with Dead Yet?.
Two new Black Tusk tracks make their debut on a 7-inch split with fellow Savanna metal band, Dead Yet?. Out now via Hyperalist Records, Black Tusk is readying a new EP for release on July 23. Both tracks, "Fearing Your Mind" and "Iron Giants" are standout heavies. In a recent interview, Black Tusk guitarist Andrew Fidler says that the bands music really doesn't have a distinct message, but rather many collective ones. According to Fidler, much of the bands music deals with "the shortcomings of our fellow man, or their own, as well as religion, and control. But of course some of it is about partying, but in an "apocalyptic sense." And since I know you're still scratching your hair, wondering how a metal band from Savanna is actually a thing. Fidler confirms what you're assuming. The music scene in Savanna is dead. While profoundly sad, it is perhaps the desire to fill that void that drives the band, who's sludgy stoner rock vibe has been hammering it's way along for the last 13 years. I was lucky enough to catch Black Tusk live last week, and am happy to report that much like the trios music, they show no signs of slowing down.
Tracer: El Pistolero.
It took about five seconds for me to fall in love with UK band Tracer, and their new record, El Pistolero. After listening to the entire thing, color me completely obsessed with the band and their grungy guitar rock. El Pistolero has legitimate vintage metal sound to it, (think Scorpions/Dio), but also possesses plenty of 1990's NW throwback appeal. And if that's not enough, as the album title would imply, Tracer throws in a little tex-mex-metal for good measure. With 13 tracks in all, you definitely get your metal money's worth on this one. Out on Netherlands based label, Mascot.

The Melvins Cover Venom, Bowie and Queen On "Everybody Loves Sausages"24 Apr
Everybody might not love sausages, but everyone definitely loves the Melvins.
DJ Cherrybomb
On Tuesday, the Melvins started streaming their new record online, Everybody Loves Sausages. From start to finish, the band brings it's A-game to the album's menagerie of metal, alt, pop and classic rock cover tracks. Sausages kicks off with a snarling homage to Venom, thanks to Scott Kelly of Neurosis on vocals, and the track "Warhead" from Venom's 1984 album, At War With Satan. The record then continues on it's noisy upward spiral with classic covers from Queen, an indulgent 11+ minute cover of Bowie's "Station to Station" with J.G. Thirwell of Foetus on vocals, and 1979 Kinks track, "Attitude". When it comes to Attitude, the Melvins simply own it. Much like Johnny Cash did when he covered the likes of Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails.
Other non-Melvin members appearing on Sausages include Mark Arm of Mudhoney, who supplied the vocals for "Set it on Fire" from Aussie band Scientists, and Jello Biafra on the track "In Every Dream Home a Heartache", originally done by Roxy Music. Obscurity proves to be the Melvins' friend when they take on early 80's Sacramento band, Tales of Terror. The band only put out one self-titled record in 1984, but their crunchy, junkie business brand of raunch & roll lives on in future sounds from Green River and Nirvana.
As we keep rolling along the obscure/bizarre musical train track with the Melvins, we arrive at the year 1974, and the bands cover of "Female Trouble" by Divine. According to Buzzo, John Waters has always been a huge influence for the band. Recorded on Christmas day in 2011, Buzzo sounds more like fellow weirdo Tom Waits than himself. Which only elevates the heavy darkness of the three-minute track. Sausages is a record as diverse as it is divey, loud and fuzzy.
Also included in the online album stream is some great commentary by the king of metal and hair, King Buzzo himself. Listen and read along as Buzzo talks you the through each track over at Spin. The band's 30th anniversary summer tour kicks off on July 12th in Phoenix.
Full track listing follows.
1. 'Warhead' (Venom; Guest: Scott Kelly of Neurosis)
2. 'Best Friend' (Queen; Guest: Caleb Benjamin of Tweak Bird)
3. 'Black Betty' (Original artist unknown)
4. 'Set It on Fire' (The Scientists; Guest: Mark Arm)
5. 'Station to Station' (David Bowie; Guest: JG Thirlwell)
6. 'Attitude' (The Kinks: Guest: Clem Burke of Blondie)
7. 'Female Trouble' (Divine a.k.a. John Waters)
8. 'Carpe Diem' (The Fugs)
9. 'Timothy Leary Lives' (Pop-O-Pies)
10. 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache' (Roxy Music; Guests: Jello Biafra and Kevin Rutmanis)
11. 'Romance' (Tales of Terror)
12. 'Art School' (The Jam; Guest: Tom Hazelmeyer)
13. 'Heathen Earth' (Throbbing Gristle)

Notable Hard Rock And Metal Record Store Day 2013 Releases26 Mar
It's that time of year again when audiophiles, vinyl junkies, and collectors across the country wake up early on a Saturday morning (for once), camp out outside their favorite Independent record store,hoping that they might get their hands on a few of the coveted vinyl releases that will be coming out on April 20th. Otherwise known as the 6th annual Record Store Day 2013.
Below are a few of the more metal from the massive RSD list this year. I also did an expanded list on Cherrybombed.com, where you can see everything I think you gotta have this year. It wasn't easy, but here it is.
Now, onto the harder, faster rockers, set to hit the shelves of your favorite record store this year. Check here to see a list of participating shops in your zip code. Record Store Day is April 20th!
Earache Records' contribution to RSD this year is something they call "The Worlds Shortest Album". Clocking in a only 83 seconds, the mini-5″ vinyl comes in a 12″ gate fold sleeve. The shorand brutally metal track listing follows:
Side A:
01. Napalm Death – You Suffer (1.9s)
02. Napalm Death – Dead (2.7s)
03. Napalm Death – Your Achievement (4.2s)
04. Wormrot – False Grind Sodomy (2.5s)
05. Wormrot – You Suffer But Why Is It My Problem (4.0s)
06. Brutal Truth – Collateral Damage (4.0s)
07. A.C. – Howard Wulkan's Bald (4.0s)
Side B:
01. Lawnmower Deth – Be Scene Not Heard (4.7s)
02. Painkiller – Trailmarker (6.0s)
03. Brutal Truth – Blockhead (7.3s)
04. Morbid Angel – Bil Ur-Sag #2 Lava (6.9s)
05. A.C. – Windchimes Are Gay (9.5s)
06. Insect Warfare – Street Sweeper (13.5s)
Dio – Magica Picture Disc
Another Record Store Day thankfully means its time for another completely evil Dio picture disc. 2000's Magica, was Dio's first concept record. I can't say enough about the art on these Dio discs, except for that they are even more amazing in person. Dio's classic track Holy Diver does double duty, as the chosen cover for another RSD's 7″ Side by Side with Killswitch Engage. Making this one even more metal is it's pressing on opaque, ox-blood red vinyl.
Misfits/The Lemmonheads: "Skulls" Side By Side.
Something RSD is doing this year is a "Side By Side 7". The release pairs a recording of an original classics on the A. side, with a cover of the original on the B. side. This Side by Side has the Misfits and The Lemonheads, going head-to-head with the track "Skulls". The track does double duty on the 7″ picture disc (above), with the Misfits version from 1982 on Side A., and The Lemonheads cover version from 1991.
Testament – Dark Roots cover 7′ picture disc.
This 7″ picture disc from Testament has the band banging out two very metal covers, from two other, equally metal bands. Side A. has Chuck Billy and the boys doing The Scorpions proud with a title-track cover from their 1980 record, "Animal Magnetism". Side B. features Testament's take on another title track, 1983's "Powerslave" from Iron Maiden.
Mad Season – Above (Expanded edition)
This 180 gram vinyl, expanded edition of the only Mad Season record, 1995 's Above, will get it's exclusive release as a double-LP on RSD. Included on the expanded edition are three songs from the unfinished second Mad Season album with new vocals and lyrics by Mark Lanegan. There is also a previously unreleased instrumental "Interlude", and a remixed version of John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier."
Aerosmith: Reissues of: Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic, and Get Your Wings.
Aerosmith is reissuing three records form their early catalog, their self-titled debut, Toys in the Attic, and Get Your Wings, all on 180 gram vinyl. If you only pick up one, my money would be on the bands first, blues-riddled release from 1973.
Soundgarden – King Animal Demos 10″
Soundgarden is releasing a few of the demo version of songs from their latest record, King Animal. Track listing follows:
Bones of Birds (demo), By Crooked Steps (demo), Halfway There (demo), Worse Dreams (demo), Black Saturday (demo), A Thousand Days Before (demo)
Wolvhammer and Atlas Moth 7″ Split.
This RSD exclusive split 7" features the heavy sounds of two Chicago metal bands. The originally appeared on a comp soundtrack on CD for the book DTV written by Andrew Bonazelli of Decibel Magazine. Init Records and the bands thought it would be cool to put these two covers out again on a limited 7" with new artwork by Stavros Giannopoulos (THE ATLAS MOTH), for a limited Record Store Day release. Pressed on color vinyl, and limited to 500 copies total; Side A – The Atlas Moth -"Black Trees" (a cover of a Horray for Earth original); Side B – Wovhammer – "Burn" (formerly done by The Cure for The Crow soundtrack).
Golden Void – Rise to the Out of Reach b/w Smiling Raven 7"
Both of the tracks on from San Fransisco's Golden Void 7″ are brand new, and will get their exclusive release on Record Store Day 2013. After digging on the bands 2012 debut (the vocals on the record are very Ozzy/Sabbath era so do the math. Golden Void = Awesome), it's truly excellent metal news that more sonic sounds from Golden Void are on their way.
Akimbo – Live To Crush.
This is the final release from Seattle heavy metal riff masters, Akimbo. The band disbanded in the fall 2012, but recorded one final skull-crushing record, Live To Crush, numbered, and limited to 500. Track listing follows:
1. The Fucking French!
2. Southern Hospitality
3. A Real Barn Burner
4. Weasel Rope
5. The Retard Blues
6. I Am Very Successful
7. Equal Opportunity Asshole
8. Acid Grandma
9. Building A Body
Dust was called the first "American Heavy Metal Bands". Formed around 1969, the Brooklyn trio was also the first band of Marky Ramone (Ramones, Voidoid). This RSD release features both of Dust's records on 12″ vinyl. The self-titled "Dust" (1971), and "Hard Attack" ,(1972). Members of Dust went on to play with with artist like Richard Hell, Joan Jett, Kiss, and Brian Setzer. Dust is easily the most bad-ass, proto-rock band you never heard of from New York.
You can see the full list of all the releases for Record Store Day this year, via RSD's official site. And while you're at it, check out the excellent vinyl for sale in the archives of Purple Dog Records.

Fistful Of New Metal: Six More Must Have 2013 Metal Releases23 Mar
As I said in my previous post, 2013 is shaping up to be a very metal year. This time around, I'm here to extol the virtues of six (a much more metal number than five) excellent new/upcoming metal releases, ranging from the sweet old school sounds of yesterday, to new metal sounds from up and coming bands. So read on, and please turn up your speakers. For what lies ahead must be listened to loudly, the way metal mother nature intended.
Out March 25th, Norway's Kvelertak will put out an impressive bit of heaviness with their second full-length, Meir. A black metal band by definition, Kvelertak (which means "stranglehold" or "choke hold" in Norwegian), infuses their sound with equal parts darkness, good old fashioned high-powered vocals, endless guitars, and Maiden-esque percussion.
Choke hold's aside, Meir is all but clear of black metal's typical gloom and doom. Still, the record sounds pretty brutal. Created in the witch capital of the world, Salem, Massachusetts at GodCity Studios, Kvelertak also recorded Meir in their native Norwegian tongue. A multi-layered recording at it heart, Kvelertak seamlessly blends their bone-crunching melodic metal groove with nostalgic sounds from metal days gone by. The power-chords and riffs are fast and upbeat, keeping Meir awash in massive waves of metal adrenaline. Simply put, Meir is the kind of record that would make Armored Saint's collective toes curl. And, keeping true to their headbanging form, the last track on Meir heralds the band's name, and is an unapologetic, bic-thumb-up, balls-out anthem.
Without a doubt, Meir will be on many a metal head's top ten list this year, and has quickly become my favorite metal release to date. Norwegian based label, Indie Recordings, plans to release Meir on vinyl, worldwide. As of this writing, you can listen to Meir it in its entirety, here. Look for Kverletak live this spring with fellow heavies, Savannah Georgia's Black Tusk, and the Cancer Bats.
VHÖL is comprised of members of several great metal bands. Eugene band, YOB, Hammers of Misforune, and Worm, to name a few. Which makes it unlikely that their upcoming untitled debut record (mixed by the equally metal engineer/producer Randall Dunn in Seattle) will be anything but stellar. Out on April 16th via Profound Lore Records, both of the tracks the band has generously streamed this past week on Sound Cloud, Illuminate and Grace, are swirling full of crunchy, strap-on-your-speed-belt, metal. And since I've already professed my love of YOB out loud, I'm ready to embrace VHÖL. Head on.
There has been a lot of excitement around Black Star Riders. And it's understandable. Ex-members of the revered Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders just released the first single from their new record, Bound for Glory last week. I'm not usually a big fan of the do-it-again-band, especially when a key element in the band is gone. In this case, one of metal's greatest frontmen, Phil Lynott. But Glory gives me enough hope that this record will be as strong as it's first single. And Ricky Warnick's vocals sound right and tight. Look for All Hell Breaks Loose out on the always metal Nuclear Blast Records, on May 27th.
Saxon is back.
Yes, this Saxon. The only Saxon. The Saxon that never left, refused to cut their hair, let it turn gray, and has kept churning out great metal since they came together in 1979. Sacrifice is Saxon's 20th studio release, and is textbook classic, head-banging heavy metal. Vocalist Biff Byford, who turned 62 in January, sounds amazingly fresh and strong. The same goes for the epic chops of guitarist Paul Quinn. If I didn't know any better, this record could have been released in 1983, at the height of Saxon's North American popularity. Albeit with more polish and power.
There are so many metal bands keep coming back for second and third stabs at greatness. Including Saxon. Except, Saxon has never looked for, or needs redemption. Sacrifice is a rock-solid metal record, musically and lyrically. I envy my headbanging European brothers and sisters that will get to see the band live during their epic tour of the UK and Europe this year. Sacrifice is out March 26th on UDR Music. I highly encourage you to listen to the title track, at the highest possible volume, here.
Bovine hails from Birmingham,UK. Otherwise known as the never-metal world of Black Sabbath. Their new record, due out on FDA Rektoz April 12th, The Sun Never Sets On The British Empire, has managed to do something rather elusive when it comes to the metal realm, by paving a bit of new ground. The band could easily juxtapose itself into various metal genres. It's not that Bovine's music defies description, however, I will defer any further statements, and borrow a line from the band's short press release that describes Bovine's sound as whatever "sludge-soaked ghetto rockers" sound like. Dirty rockers from the ghetto? Count me in. Bovine is currently streaming two tracks from Empire online, Military Wife, and Thank Fuck I Ain't You.
I'm not breaking any metal news to anyone when I say that Earth Rocker is Clutch's 10th record. But let it be known that I will go out on a very thick, very metal branch, and say that it is every bit as great as all those moderate bastards are saying it is.
Recently, Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon was quoted, saying that the band was going for a "Motorhead vibe" with Earth Rocker. And as eager as you might be to reject such sacrilege, after listening to Earth Rocker I can honestly say I was completely dazzled by it's spot-on production, and kick-ass lyrics. Stuff that punches its way into your ears, by any means possible. For me, a perfect example of said ear-punching is the track, "The Wolfman Kindly Requests". Any metalhead worth their silver bullets will dig every track on Earth Rocker, as it repeatedly hits every one of it's metal notes harder than the last. I even caught a hint of King's X circa 1998, loudly bent out of shape, pumping faster than it's predecessor. Are you in? You should be. Book, Saddle, and Go, motherf*cker.

The Down And Out Gospel According To Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Push The Sky Away23 Feb
"Well, if I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums being like children, then Push The Sky Away is the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren's loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat."
– Nick Cave on his latest record with the Bad Seeds, Push the Sky Away.
Like a stalker seeking new blood on the boulevard, I am completely obsessed with the new Nick Cave & The Bad Seed's record, Push the Sky Away. It's also possible that at the age of 55, Nick Cave's 15th record (over the course of almost 30 years with the Bad Seeds), is perhaps his best work – a statement that could be considered blasphemous when considering Cave's massive body of work. But it's also a word Cave himself might use if you were to ask him if he ever made a bad record. Cave's combined discography with the Bad Seeds, and the stellar project, Grinderman, have produced some of my favorite albums over the last five+ years.
As always, Cave brings his best love-sick-psychopathic-preacher-storytelling to Away, accompanied by the aforementioned, ever-present heart beat of the record, long-time Cave collaborator, guitarist Warren Ellis. Ellis helps keeps Cave's derelict musings about hookers with hearts of gold, mermaid snatches, and rebirth, direct and hauntingly intertwined throughout the record. According to Cave, Away was inspired by his recent exploration of, all things, the Internet. In that recent interview with The Sun, Cave said that the only things he ever learned were while he was in school, while his twin boys (now 12), "have much more interesting minds [than he did at the same age] because of the Internet."
Away was conceived in a remarkably short period of time, only three weeks. From beginning to end, the record seems like a soundtrack to an out-of-body experience. A dream about people and places you've never met or been to, but can see clearly through Cave's lyrical tapestry, whether you want to or not. Perhaps the best example of this musical imagery is the soaring track "Jubilee Street". The song weaves a story about a man who falls in love with a prostitute. The song builds and rises with slow, sexually-charged intention. A musical style that, over the years, Cave has developed to unnerving perfection. Push the Sky Away is an indulgent treat, expertly crafted with love and malice. A "must listen" from start to finish in order to truly appreciate it's darkly beautiful message.

Background of the Riots
The end of the Napoleonic Wars with victory at Waterloo led not to a golden age of peace and prosperity, but harsh economic conditions and no political gains for the vast majority of the population. Discontent continued for years, most famously evidenced in the events that concluded with the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. Three years previously a less well-known demonstration of resentment occurred in the Cambridgeshire town of Littleport, notable for the severe reaction of the authorities afterwards.
A mutual aid club meeting fatefully at a local inn, The Globe, found that rather than a few members needing support, nearly all did. Wages were low, food prices rising rapidly, and unemployment growing. The beer doubtless fuelled hot-heads: they drummed up more support and proceeded on a rampage round the town's wealthier homes, demanding money with the threat of violence and where not thus placated smashing goods and stealing cash anyway. The next day they moved on to Ely , repeating the performance until a troop of Dragoons brought from Bury-St-Edmunds arrived.
The rioters returned to Littleport and prepared for a stand in The George and Dragon there. A gun battle ensued before the rebels were captured, though some hid in the fens for weeks, and some fled not to return for years. One trying to bolt was shot dead.
At the June trial of the culprits 24 were sentenced to death, but the magistrates feared reprisals so commuted all but five sentences to a year in Ely gaol or transportation to Botany Bay for seven years (then changed their minds again, those facing a year in prison joining their comrades in the journey to Australia). The unlucky five were hanged just outside Ely on June 28 1816.
Why Littleport?
The riots that occurred in Littleport and Ely took place in the year 1816. At that time the population of Littleport was approximately 2000 and there were few families who were not affected by the riots. England had been at war with France for many years and had finally ended with Napoleon being beaten at Waterloo on the 18th June 1815. The battle weary men of England returned home to find the country in recession, jobs were scarce and low paid. Those lucky enough to find work as farm labourers were paid 8 or 9 shillings a week (40 - 45 pence in today's money) and some war veterans found work building roads for 2 shillings and sixpence a week (12p approx.) however this was barely enough to survive on. At the start of 1816 wheat, a basic food commodity, was 52 shillings a quarter (£2.60). This rose during the year to 103 shillings a quarter (£5.15) by December. The general dissatisfaction throughout the country led to many minor disturbances and by far the biggest and most notorious occurrence started in Littleport.
On the morning of 20 May, a meeting was held in Southery, Norfolk. The group, including a Thomas Sindall, marched through Denver to Downham Market to meet with the magistrates at their weekly meeting at The Crown public house. Sindall was the only person known to have been at both the riots at Downham Market and Littleport. Sindall was the only person known to have been at both the riots at Downham Market and Littleport.
In many parts of the country labourers belonged to a benefit club to help support the poor and needy, Littleport was no different in this respect with the local club meetings being held in the Globe public house on Main St. The landlord at the time was Robert Johnson.
The club met at the Globe on the evening of Wednesday 22nd May 1816, around 50 or 60 villagers were present, each had paid a shilling for a quart of beer. The meeting was to decide who was in need of assistance this year and it soon became clear that almost everyone was. Bad feelings ran high, one local farmer and magistrate had just sacked three of his labourers and yet he was known to spend more on buying one shirt than on the weekly wages of the three men combined.
The end of the Napoleonic Wars with victory at Waterloo led not to a golden age of peace and prosperity, but harsh economic conditions. The Littleport Riots were one of many that happened after the Napoleonic WarsThe topic of conversation turned to the disturbances in the surrounding villages where farm labourers were said to be kicking up a fuss and demanding more money to stay alive.
Many people were expecting men from nearby Denver and Southery to visit the meeting and when these did not appear someone said "Well, as the Denver men have not come, we will have a fray to ourselves." With this a man by the name of Cornwall went to get a horn. He first got a seed drill spout from the blacksmith, but he could not make a sound with it. He then went to Steven's bakery to get his horn, but it was too quiet when blown. He then went to Burgess, the lighterman, (a lighter is a type of boat), and got the horn that was used when he took pleasure parties to Downham Market fair. Cornwall then went around the town blowing the horn and soon a crowd of several hundred people followed him back to the Globe pub.
The Riot in Littleport
Armed with whatever weapons they could find, clubs, pitchforks, cleavers and a few guns, the mob took to the streets. They went to Mingey's shop first and stoned the windows. They then moved on to Mr Clarke's shop where they broke in and threw his wares into the street. From here they went to the home of a retired farmer, Josiah Dewey, and demanded money. He refused to give them £1 and the mob forced their way into his house and took or smashed everything in it. The local vicar, Rev Vachell, and his wife arrived on the scene and attempted to read the riot act to the mob. They would not listen to him and told him to go home and they would get to him presently. They left Mr Dewey's house with over 100 guineas in gold.
The mob then moved on to Mr Sindall, a 90 year old bedridden gentleman, where they smashed all his furniture and threatened his housekeeper, Mrs Hutt, with a meat cleaver. The home of old Mr Little was next, he got off by giving the mob £2. At Mr Speechley's house, however, a refusal to hand money over resulted in all his furniture being smashed. Mr Shrewsbury gave them money and from there they went on to the shop, and home, of Mrs Waddelow.
Mrs Waddelow was an old lady of about 70 who lived with her grandson, Henry Martin, a leading landowner. Henry saw the mob approaching and fled out the back of the house leaving his grandmother and a visitor, Mrs Cutlack, to fend for themselves. The mob soon broke the door and windows in and stormed into the house. Mrs Cutlack was robbed of £3, all the furniture was smashed and all the goods in the shop were taken. The mob left after making death threats against Henry Martin and went on to the local vicarage.
The vicar, Rev Vachell, was also the magistrate of the town. He was waiting for the mob at the door of the vicarage with a pistol, where he threatened to "blow the brains out" of the first man to step across his threshold. Three men rushed him and knocked the pistol out of his hand before he could fire at them. The mob surged into the vicarage and proceeded to take or smash all of the contents, including his valuable papers. They were so busy they didn't see Rev Vachell and his family flee out the back of the vicarage. The vicar and his family made their way on foot towards Ely to get help. At Portly Hill, on the outskirts of Littleport, they met a horse and carriage, the driver was persuaded to take them to Ely.
The mob moved on to raid and loot many other shops and homes in the town. At one point a carriage containing Mr Hugh Robert Evans, senior, and another Mr Martin, was surrounded by the mob as it passed through the town from Downham Market. The mob relieved Mr Evans and his companion of 14 shillings in silver before letting the carriage pass. This was highway robbery. The mob eventually amassed back at the Globe, where, spurred on by the fact that no one had opposed them, they decided to proceed to Ely. The rioters took a wagon and horses belonging to Mr Tansley and, after mounting two, 2 meter long, fowling guns on the wagon, a considerable crowd moved off towards Ely.
Ely is given a Warning
Upon his arrival in Ely, at around midnight, the Rev Vachell woke up two other magistrates, namely the Rev William Metcalfe and the Rev Sir Henry Bate Dudley, and explained what was happening in Littleport. A messenger, Mr Thomas Archer, was sent to Bury St Edmunds to seek the assistance of the First Royal Dragoon Guards who were stationed there. Many of the tradesmen of Ely were called up and sworn in as special constables and Rev Metcalfe and a few others went to meet the rioters, who were by now on their way to Ely.
The Riot Reaches Ely
The two parties met at Oakery (about 1/2 mile outside of Ely) at between 5 and 6am on the Thursday morning. Rev Metcalfe read the riot act to the mob and asked them what they wanted. The mob replied "the price of a stone of flour per day" and " our children are starving, give us a living wage" . Rev Metcalfe told them they would have it. He would consult the other magistrates and they should return to Littleport. The rioters replied they would "have a randy at Ely" and continued towards the city. The Rev Metcalfe asked them to go to the market place and many of them did assemble there. Many inhabitants of Ely joined the mob in the market place.
Agreement is Reached
The magistrates were meeting in the White Hart Inn just off the market place in Ely and Rev Metcalfe addressed the crowd from one of the upstairs windows, where he issued the following statement:
"The magistrates agree, and do order, that the over-seers shall pay to each family two shillings per head per week, when flour is half-a-crown a stone; such allowance to be raised in proportion when the price of flour is higher, and that the price of labour shall be two shilling a day, whether married or single and that the labourer shall be paid his full wages by the farmer who hires him,"
This agreement was seen as fair by many and, after three cheers, many men with genuine grievances returned home. The magistrates relieved that the trouble seemed to be over foolishly gave out free ale to the crowd. The result of this act was that the crowd soon got drunk and spread themselves around the city where they caused further acts of violence and robbery against the traders and richer people of Ely. They attacked, among others, Mr Rickwood, a baker in Broad St, Mr Cooper another baker in Silver St and Mr Edwards, the agent for the bank of Messrs. Mortlock and Co of Cambridge. After extracting considerable sums of money, (£10 in some places) from various tradesmen and barrels of beer from the brewers the remaining Littleport rioters left the city and went triumphantly home.
Troops Arrive in Ely
A corporal's guard of 16 men from the First Royal Dragoon Guards arrived from Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) and teamed up with a number of local men at Angel Hill (near the site of today's railway station). Together they rode from Caudle Fen Bank, up Back Hill and along the Gallery towards the Lamb Hotel in the centre of Ely. They met with the rioters, who were mostly from Ely itself at this stage, and the mere presence of the Cavalry parading through the streets of Ely intimidated the rioters enough to restore order. The Dragoons stayed in Ely overnight and prepared to advance to Littleport the next day.
Troops go to Littleport
The next day the Dragoons teamed up with the Royston Troop of Volunteer Cavalry and the Militia Staff stationed in Ely set out for Littleport led by Rev Sir Henry Bate Dudley and Mr John Bacon a constable from Bow Street in London. They stopped at Mill End in Littleport (now part of Ely Road, near Upton Lane) and a group of men on horseback were sent across the Hemp Field to enter the town from the east in case of barricades. The main part of the group then went down Mill Street (now called Millpit Furlong) towards the centre of town. They found the main body of the rioters in the George and Dragon public house where they had barricaded themselves in.
The Rev Sir Henry Bate Dudley called upon the men to come out and give themselves up, they replied with a volley from the upper windows! The Militia returned fire. Rioter James Cammell took an iron bar from the fireplace and stood by the entrance with another man to prevent entry to the pub. Another rioter Thomas South shot at the troopers from a window, injuring Dragoon Wallace Williams in the forearm or wrist. This injury was so severe that the soldier was disabled and relied upon the parish of Littleport to pay him a pension of 12 shillings a week for the rest of his life. The soldier regretted that having survived unharmed the battle of Waterloo he would be wounded by one of his own countrymen. The battle however was soon over and most of the rioters were captured that afternoon. While they were under guard on the road Thomas Sindall tried to take trooper William Porter's Rifle, he failed and ran off. Porter called out for him to stop but was ignored, Porter raised his rifle and shot Sindall through the head, killing him instantly. Another rioter John Badger resisted arrest and received a sabre cut which took part of his chin off. Some rioters managed to evade capture for several weeks by hiding in the marshes. Some even managed to avoid capture altogether and did not return to Littleport for several years. Altogether 80 people were arrested and took to Ely gaol to await trial. Items to the value of £400 were recovered.
The Trial
The trial (Assizes) started on Monday 17th June 1816 in the courthouse, which at that time was on the Market Place in Ely. It was presided over by three judges namely Mr Justice Abbot, Mr Justice Burrough and Mr Edward Christian Esq., Chief Justice to the Isle of Ely. It is worth a mention that Mr Edward Christian is the brother of Fletcher Christian from Mutiny on the Bounty fame, but where Fletcher was known for his kindness and compassion his brother Edward was known as a hard and harsh judge who often gave out the death penalty.
Special Commission was read shortly after 10 am, and then the judges breakfasted at the bishop's palace, after which a service was held in the cathedral and attended by 50 of the principal inhabitants of Ely. The sermon, preached by Rev. Henry Bate Dudley, was "that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient". After the service, the court reconvened; the Grand Jury was sworn in, and Mr W. Dunn Gardner elected the foreman. Mr Gurney, Mr Bolland and Mr Richardson, were counsel for the crown, led by Mr William Hobhouse, treasury solicitor. For the defence, Mr Hunt was counsel for Jefferson, Wyebrow, Harley, Pricke, Cooper, Freeman and Jessop; Mr Hart was counsel for John Easey, Joseph Easey, Benton, Layton, Atkin, Hobbs and another.
Mr Justice Abbott addressed the court: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, you have been called together at this unusual period, and with the present solemnities, in consequence of some very daring acts of outrage committed by various misguided individuals in this town and its immediate neighbourhood, which must still be fresh in your recollection. In contemplating the nature of these atrocities, it is impossible to consider without commendation, the conductors of those prompt and efficacious measures by which, after it had domineered for several days together, the spirit of tumult and devastation was finally subdued.
He then went on to direct the jury at length, commenting at one point that these disturbances "seem to have been the necessity of an advance in the wages of husbandry; but the circumstances of some among the offenders do not correspond with the supposition of such an object". He was probably referring to John Dennis, licensed victualler of Littleport. He outlined the three capital offences that would be presented, namely burglary, robbery from the person and stealing in a dwelling house. He defined burglary as breaking into a house at night with intent, robbery from the person as extortion by violence or threat thereof, and stealing in a dwelling house as an actual act of stealing, not just the threat. He reminded the jury that when offences are carried out by a mob, it is the whole mob that is guilty, not just the person doing the deed. He closed: It is of the highest importance to the peace and safety, not only of this isle, but of the surrounding country, that all who are present on this solemn inquiry, and all who read the account of its proceedings (and there are few parts of the kingdom in which it will not be read) may be convinced by the awful lesson which may here be taught, that whatever wild or chimerical notions may prevail of the power of an armed multitude, the law is too strong for its assailants; and that, however triumphant or destructive their sway for a few days, those who defy the law, will ultimately be compelled to submit either to its justice or its mercy. The court adjourned until the following day.
On Tuesday 18 June the court opened at 9 am; 12 defendants were charged with breaking into the house of Rebecca Waddelow in Littleport and stealing personal property and money. After hearing evidence, the judges held a discussion. Mr Justice Abbott informed the jury that a mistake had been made in the indictment, directing the jury to acquit. All 12 defendants were pronounced not guilty.
Seven defendants were then indicted for breaking into the house of Josiah Dewey in Littleport, stealing money and property and assaulting Dewey. Mr Gurney addressed the jury. Three witnesses testified. The jury recorded a verdict of guilty against Chevall, Easey, Jessop, South and Benton; Dann and Torrington were acquitted. The court adjourned at 5pm.
On Wednesday 19 June the court opened at 9 am; the indictment on three of the defendants was read for forcibly entering the house of Robert Speechly in Littleport and stealing personal property. Mr Gurney addressed the jury, who later pronounced all defendants guilty.
Five defendants were then indicted for forcing their way in the house of Rev. John Vachell in Littleport, threatening him and stealing £2. Mr Gurney addressed the jury. Two witnesses testified. A verdict of guilty was returned against Harley and Newell whilst Warner and Stibbard were acquitted.
Five defendants were then indicted for stealing £50 from the house of Robert Edwards in Ely. Mr Gurney addressed the jury descrbing the events occurring in the town of Ely on the morning of the 23 May 1816. Eight witnesses were called. The jury returned guilty verdicts against Dennis, Jefferson, and Rutter. Hopkin and Cammell were given not guilty verdicts.
On Thursday morning 20 June two defendants were indicted for stealing silverware from the home of Rev. J. Vachell in Littleport and one was charged with receiving the stolen goods. Four witnesses called, Lavender was pronounced guilty of the theft and Beamiss and Butcher received not guilty verdicts.
John Gaultrip was next, also indicted for stealing spoons at the vicarage. As the evidence was contradictory, Gaultrip was acquitted by the jury. Next was William Beamiss indicted for highway robbery of Hugh Robert Evans, of Ely. Two witness were called. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on the prisoner Beamiss.
Then nine defendants were charged with threatening W. Cooper of Ely and stealing from him. Mr Gurney addressed the jury, explaining the circumstances of the disturbances carried out by the mob in Ely. Nine witnesses were called. The jury retired for fifteen minutes. On returning, it pronounced as guilty Dennis, Jessop, Atkin, Layton, Hobbs, Pricke, Cooper, and Jefferson. It acquitted Freeman. Six defendants were then charged with stealing from George Stevens in Ely. Three witness were examined following which Dennis, Layton, Atkin, and Cammell were all pronounced guilty by the jury. Capital convictions against Aaron Chevall and William Beamiss, for robbing Henry Tansley of two £1 notes, were also returned by the jury. The court adjourned at 6pm.
On Friday morning 21 June, seven prisoners were brought to the bar on a similar charge as on Tuesday (breaking into the house of Rebecca Waddelow in Littleport and stealing personal property and money). The prisoners all pleaded not guilty. Mr Gurney addressed the jury explaining that these were the same persons indicted on Tuesday for the same offence. He explained to the jury that the earlier indictment incorrectly described the house to be the property of Rebecca Waddelow, leading to the prisoners' acquittal. He also explained that in the original indictment, other persons had been charged, but as these other persons had since been convicted of capital offences, they had been removed from the indictment. The witness were all brought forward again and made their statements. They said much the same as previously, though this took much of the day. In summing up, Mr Abbott went on a length closing with "the duty which it belonged to them [the jury] to execute - confident that, from experience which the court had now of them, their verdict would be such as good sense would dictate, and the public justice of the country require". It took the jury five minutes to find Walker, Butcher and Crow guilty and Nicholas, Wilson and Jefferson not guilty.
Next was Henry Benson, a farmer who was out on bail, charged with inciting to riot. Benson was held in surety for £400 plus two other sureties for £200 each. He was to appear for trial at the next assizes. Richard Cooper the elder and Richard Cooper the younger were also bound over to the next assizes. Father and son, William Beamiss the elder and the younger, were then brought in and charged with assaulting and stealing from Robert Cheesewright the younger, of Littleport, in the Isle of Ely - both were found guilty. Next, between 20 and 30 prisoners were brought to the bar and "indicted for having committed various felonies and misdemeanour's at Littleport on 22, 23, and 24 of May last". A few were put to the next assizes and the remainder chose to be tried immediately. Mr Gurney addressed the jury explaining that his Majesty's government was keen not to put to the jury more cases than was necessary. If the prisoners now at the bar offered a small surety and remained on good behaviour, there would be no more said. Mr Abbott spoke to the prisoners at length, finally demanding that each of them offer surety of £50 and find two more sureties each of £10 or one more each of £20. Mr Abbott then thanked the jury for their services. The court adjourned.
By Saturday 22 June 1816 six men were acquitted; 10 were discharged; 36 were bailed. 23 men and one woman were condemned to death. The public outcry at the harsh sentences caused the Judges to reconsider their verdicts for fear of their lives. 18 men and the only womam convicted, Sarah Hobbs, had their sentences commuted. Nine were sentenced to penal transportation to Botany Bay, Australia. James Newell, Richard Jessop, John Jefferson, Joseph Easey, Aaron Chevell, all of Littleport and all transported for life; Richard Rutter of Littleport for 14 years; John Easey of Littleport for seven years.
They sailed on the convict ship Sir William Bensley, which departed for New South Wales on 9 October 1816, captained by Lew E Williams. Two others were also sentenced to transportation for seven years, Mark Benton and John Walker, both of Littleport. Five from Littleport and five, including Sarah Hobbs from Ely, were committed to Ely gaol for 12 months;
The revised sentences were 5 executions, 9 deportations to Botany Bay, Australia,
The five condemned without commutation were all from Littleport. They were William Beamiss (42) the elder, shoemaker, for stealing from the persons of Henry Tansley and Robert Cheeseright, both of Littleport; George Crow (23), labourer, for stealing in the dwelling-house of Rebecca Waddelow and Henry Martin, both of Littleport; John Dennis (32), a publican, for stealing from the persons of William Cooper, Robert Edwards, and George Stevens, all of Ely; Isaac Harley junior (33), labourer, for stealing from the person of the Reverend John Vachell, of Littleport; and Thomas South the younger (22), labourer, for stealing in the dwelling-house of Josiah Dewey and Robert Speechley, both of Littleport.
The Executions
The executions took place on Friday 28th June 1816. At 10 o'clock in the morning the five condemned men wearing white caps, were placed on a cart that was covered in a black cloth. Escorted by the most respected of Ely's inhabitants on horseback carrying white wands, they were taken to the place of execution, an area of swampy ground between Witchford Road and St John's Road on the outskirts of Ely where a new drop had been constructed for the purpose. They arrived at the scaffold shortly before 11 o'clock and the five men fell to their knees in prayer. Prisoner John Dennis then addressed the crowd of several hundred and declared that they had all confessed to the crimes for which they were about to hang. He then said in a loud voice "All you who are witness to this my disgraceful end, I exhort you in the name of God - that God before whom I must shortly appear - to avoid drunkenness, Sabbath-breaking, whoremongery, and bad company. Oh beware of these sins! I pray you also to avoid rioting; and in every respect refrain from breaking the laws of your country. Remember the words of the Judge who tried us for the crimes which we are now going to suffer, who said 'the law of the land will always be too strong for its assailants, and those who defy the law will in the end be subdued by the law, and be compelled to submit to its justice or its mercy.' We stand here a melancholy example of the power and justice of the law. I freely forgive those who gave their evidence against me; and may the God of mercy forgive me, and have mercy on my soul." They then all prayed again. Upon a signal the drop fell and all five men left this earth without a struggle.
After hanging for the required amount of time the bodies were taken down, placed in coffins and given to their relatives for interment. They were taken to a cottage in Goal Street where the bodies were laid out. A great many people viewed the bodies before they were buried the next day in a single grave in the churchyard of St Mary's Church in Ely. Legend has it they were buried upright, either to save space or a more popular reason, so that they could never 'lay at rest'. There is a stone plaque on the side of the tower of the church inscribed:
The men sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay, Australia were taken to Newgate prison on the following Monday, 1st July 1816. Where they took the first transportation ship available. Those that were sentenced to a year in Ely goal were left in prison where it was expected they would serve their whole sentence, however after a few days the sentences were changed to transportation for 7 years to Botany Bay. They were transported without having any further contact with either family or friends. The public when they were informed of the change of sentence were understandably outraged. Public meetings were held and a petition was sent to the home secretary for the change to be reversed. They were unsuccessful and the transportation went ahead.
Later Events
At the next Assizes held in Cambridge the Rev J Vachell was awarded £708 9shillings in compensation for the damages he suffered in the riots. Shortly after the riots parliament passed the Vagrancy Act of 1824 to try and stop the unrest. Due to the difficulties in enforcing the law and partly for fear of another riot similar in nature to the Littleport one, the Metropolitan Police Act was passed in 1829, establishing the first true modern police force.
To commemorate the Queens Silver Jubilee in 1977 the Womens Institute in Littleport paid for a village sign, on the back of this sign is a scene depicting the start of the riot outside the Globe Inn.

Riotous Littleport
Towards the end of the 18th Century, a new solution to overcrowded gaols was initiated - deportation to another colony. This time it was Australia's turn, in particular New South Wales and a scheme was devised and agreed by Lord Sydney, the then British Home Secretary. It proved highly successful and between the late 18th and 19th Centuries over 160,000 convicts were sent there.
As a rule, skilled workers such as, carpenters, stonemasons and cultivators, were chosen for essential jobs as soon as they disembarked. Others were assigned to labouring or handed over to property owners, merchants or farmers who may once have been convicts themselves.
The lack of fresh water in the Botany Bay area of New South Wales, led to a move further north to Port Jackson (now Sydney Harbour). This led to the development of farms and industry around Parramatta, which is today the site of Australia's largest city - Sydney.

08 Jun NoD Coworking Launches Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for North Dallas High School Students
Guest Contributor: Chirag Gupta
Area high school students are participating in local startup community events now more than ever these days and they are not just coming to observe. Over the past few years Dallas has seen several young entrepreneurs start successful businesses while still in high school. NoD Coworking aims to build on that trend by offering a summer entrepreneurship bootcamp to local high school students who are serious about developing themselves as entrepreneurs.
The program will be led by hackathon organizer and Duke University alumnus, Scotty Shaw. In 2014, Scotty co-organized HackDuke, and then in 2017, Scotty successfully launched the first 24-hour hackathon at the University of Texas at Arlington. The name of his 2018 summer program is SKYSMVP which stands for "Successfully Kick-off Your Startup's Minimum Viable Product". The program website is accessible at skysmvp.com.
The program curriculum will be heavily focused on teaching the same lean startup approach to business which has been championed at top business schools like Stanford University's Graduate School of Business and Harvard Business School. Here's what Scotty had to say about his new program and when I asked him why he decided to launch it in Dallas:
"After graduating from Duke University and Harvard Business School's HBX with High Honors, as well as years of living and working in places like New York City, Taipei, San Francisco, and Australia, I decided to come back to Texas and create opportunities that are lacking in our part of the US. The [SKYSMVP.com] bootcamp will demystify entrepreneurship and mentor high schoolers through the processes of creating their own start-ups, one by themselves and one with a team. Each student will also learn how to keep their businesses running by attending talks from experienced entrepreneurs and touring successful businesses throughout the DFW area. Along the way, they will develop important life skills for succeeding in the real world, expand their horizons, gain confidence in their own abilities, and build camaraderie within a team working towards achieving their goals. In addition, each student will become even more competitive applicants for internships, jobs, and elite universities. Most importantly, they will have their own experiences to pass on to others."
Bobby Thakkar is just one example of a successful serial entrepreneur here who launched his first startup as a teenager. Learn more about his journey by watching his IgniteDFW talk. He made his first app at age thirteen which he talks about here in his TEDxSMU talk.
Another successful young entrepreneur in the Dallas startup community is Gautam Bhargava. He presented his first startup at Dallas New Tech in December 2015 when he was eighteen years old. Check out the video of his pitch here. He then also launched an entrepreneurship education program for local high school students called SATUS which was featured in the Dallas Morning News.
So if you're a high school student in Dallas who is on the fence about entrepreneurship, I say go for it! And don't forget to inform LaunchDFW about each new startup that you launch.

There's a lot of potential for things to go wrong in the restaurant business, but one of the worst possibilities is a major health and safety issue. Something serious can easily bankrupt a successful restaurant, so consider the following areas to ensure you're complying with the law and taking reasonable steps to keep everyone safe, including staff and customers.
Cleaning up spillages
Spills from food can be breeding grounds for bacteria, which is a major risk to customers eating your food and the future of your business. Spillages of food and liquids can also cause slips easily, especially on smooth kitchen floors. It's important that someone (or everyone in the kitchen) is responsible for cleaning up immediately to avoid any risk of avoidable accidents occurring.
Regular professional cleaning
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning services, including ductwork and canopy cleaning, are important for restaurant safety and hygiene and you should have professional cleaning carried out regularly in addition to the day-to-day maintenance your staff handle themselves. This kind of cleaning is also vital for fire safety, as extractors and ducts can eventually collect fat deposits which significantly increase the potential risk of a fire breaking out.
Untidy or damaged work area
Aside from keeping your commercial kitchen clean, it needs to be fully organised and maintained to the highest possible standard. This means items that are getting in the way and causing a trip hazard need to be elsewhere, including all unnecessary bags and boxes as well as wires and cables for appliances. Floors, surfaces and appliances should be kept in good condition too, and any repairs dealt with immediately.
Handling sharp blades
An extremely common cause of accidents in restaurant kitchens is having an accident with a knife. Ensure everyone is trained on sharpening and using knives before they start work, and everyone knows which knives are suitable for particular tasks. Knives also need to be used on a suitable surface, washed and stored carefully.
Manual handling
It might be necessary to have staff move heavy items around to keep the kitchen functioning, but you need to ensure that appropriate measures are in place to do this. Improper handling of heavy items can cause injuries as well as long-term health conditions including back problems. A combination of training in the correct techniques and using the right equipment can avoid most of these risks in a restaurant.
Skin conditions
It may surprised you to hear that the most common cause of ill health in a restaurant work environment is dermatitis, usually resulting in itching or damaged skin, especially on the hands. The cause is usually harsh cleaning products coming into contact with the skin too often. Using gloves and utensils for washing up can alleviate the problem, as well as using moisturiser products to prevent hands drying out due to frequent washing.

I'm sure some of you know that feeling you might get on a gorgeous spring day, when you just want to slip into a dress and a pair of your favorite heels and simply go out for a stroll – well, for me, these are the moments when I truly feel like a vintage girl in the city. Pair it with a photographer who can capture this atmosphere at a glance and create not just a set of photos, but a story – it is an epitome of a perfect day in my book.
This was actually the first time (and for sure not the last) I did a photoshoot with the most talented girl ever @anafiteart. We had such a great energy going on throughout the entire afternoon we spent together shooting. The photos I wanted to share with you in this post today are just a small part of the entire set, shot in one location in Belgrade. If you'd like to see some more, make sure to go check my Instagram feed. Of course, I posted a lot more photos there, as well. I love how she managed to capture my inner vintage girl and bring it to life!
As you will see from the photos below, we had the best time strolling through the streets of Belgrade. And looking at the end result, I'd say we make a pretty good team, don't you think so? I sure hope you agree with me since you will see us collaborate a lot in the future. And to let you in on a little secret, another post with photos from our newest photoshoot is in the works! And yes, it will be another photoshoot with a vintage feel to it 🙂
So, now I'll stop rambling and let you see what we've come up with. Finally, I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments, as always!
This gorgeous animal print dress is from Lindy Bop. Shoes and necklace are vintage (they were a gift from my grandmother).
All my tattoos were done by @nemo_karavampirtattoo.
Photos by @anafiteart.
Till my next post,
Have a great day, Ana!

By, Cari Desiderio
This week I read an article that some HR practitioners may find a bit frightening. It is an article from WSJ that recounts how some companies are saying no to having a human resources department (http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304819004579489603299910562). The point of the article is that old school human resources departments can actually be more detrimental than beneficial to organizations. Now on this point I would agree. If you think about the trending toward flat and democratic organizational structures, the notion of a team dedicated to policy pushing and uniformity agenda is unappealing. The organizations of tomorrow are companies fueled by flatter structure with higher accountability around performance and entrepreneurial cultures where those who deliver outcomes win. While there will always be a place to manage performance issues and compliance matters, on the whole the flatter structure "self manages" more of the problems via a strong culture of high performance bars and entrepreneurial allowance.
So if writing handbooks can be outsourced, personnel files can be converted to electronic files managed by shared services, and benefits can easily go to third party administrators, should those of us in the HR profession be concerned? For the change averse, absolutely. However, if re branded there is still a need for human resources that is more powerful and strategic than ever before.
The human resources leader of tomorrow is a talent advocate. A change agent of sorts, who is able to facilitate making the most of a company's human capital. Study upon study reveals that disengagement in companies is toxic. Gallup estimates $360B a year is the cost in America alone (http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/247/the-high-cost-of-disengaged-employees.aspx ). This is an astounding figure. ROI opportunity for those who can impact the problem of people motivation.
To be corporate partners of tomorrow, the new role of human resources has to be solving the talent problem. Finding talent, and making that talent reach full potential. This requires a move away from the more linear and compliance oriented thinking of yesterday. Find talent. Grow talent. Engage talent. The strategic HR partner of tomorrow is a coach, a mentor, a creative engagement agent of the human spirit!

Can an AST be assigned (to landlord's successor)?
This topic has been locked as no posts have been made within the last 90 days.

3 Thanks
Can the AST continue unaffected if the landlord is succeeded and/or if he assigns the role to another landlord? If yes, does that mean that the deposit can stay in place too? Is there a special notice or form to use?
This must happen regularly in various circumstances e.g. landlord passes away, landlord changes letting agents, landlord sells property, landlord restructures portfolio sole-trader to partnership to company.

A few hours ago, I visited my physician for a routinary medical check up. It has been more than a year since my last and my doctor and I came with a valid and honest conclusion: I am still overweight.
Although she mentioned atro phex and other drugs that may help shed excess pounds while still in culinary school (as it is the number one culprit), she insisted that I should go on a serious weight management program and do more physical activities like walking and doing cardiovascular exercises more often.
By the way, I successfully completed my three-hour cardio exercise earlier, and I am looking forward for more tomorrow as I will lift some weights as well.
My goal before July is to reach 150 pounds. Wish me luck!

Kate Hudson Isn't Ruling Out A Second Marriage Just Because Her First One Didn't Work Out! Would You Give Marriage a Second Chance?
Kate Hudson was a young woman when she and rocker Chris Robinson tied the knot. She was just 21 when she walked down the aisle and 28 when she and the Black Crows singer divorced. Now she is in a happy and healthy relationship with another rocker, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, but is treading carefully.
Kate told British Elle that marriage is definitely not something she is looking for right now, but her divorce didn't put her off the institution.
"I'll just see what happens. I think a lot of times people are terrified of love and stop themselves from experiencing it. I don't ever want to get that jaded. I do believe in love. I believe that when you really open yourself up to love, it's the most beautiful thing," Hudson told the mag.
It makes sense for Kate to be cautious.
It can take a while after a divorce before someone is ready to open themselves up to love. Let's face it, love is a risk and marriage is an even bigger risk. Both can be quite scary, especially if you have already been through one that didn't work out. But perhaps the problem wasn't the marital institution, perhaps the problem was that she chose the wrong person to marry," says life and dating coach Tracey Steinberg.
"Once Kate takes the time to understand what is truly important to her for her future love life, then the best thing she can do is open herself up to love and all of the amazing opportunities that go along with it."
Kate and her ex have a healthy relationship for their son Ryder, 6, and she says she is very comfortable with the fact that he has moved on and started a new life.
"I still feel close to him. When you're divorced and raising a child together, the communication has to stay alive. It's hard sometimes. If you have kids with someone, make sure you really, really like the father because, for your child's sake, you have to be on the same page forever. Chris has moved on, he's remarried and had a baby and when you both have new people in your life, you have to really stay on it," Kate says.
Hudson may not think marriage is that big a deal. Her mom Goldie Hawn has been wit her partner Kurt Russell for 25 years without ever getting married. We know that Kate sees her mom as a career role model and maybe she sees her as a relationship role model too!

Have you ever experienced a week where by Friday, you just wanted to crawl back into bed, hit the damn reset button and try it all over again starting at the alarm going off on Monday morning?
Welcome to my life as of August 8th.
It was a typical Monday. Not too good, not too bad, just…eh, Monday. There wasn't one thing that resonated off the charts that made me think "hmm, this week is totally going blow, I just know it." but it was…different.
Tuesday rolled around and it began. Mrs. Darby Doll's husband had a horrible flu bug that made him (and the rest of us) miserable. He was uncomfortable and moody all day. By nightfall he was in so much pain, I made the executive decision to drag him, kicking and screaming into the ER.
Fast Forward to Wed afternoon, Mr. Darby Doll is in emergency surgery for an appendicitis, that when all was said and done, wasn't. The docs don't quite know what was wrong with him because when the went to rip his appendix out, it was normal, but what the hell, the took it anyways (you don't really need it…right? Right?).
I get stressed, I bake. Baking makes my life complete. Its like yoga with the Kitchen Aid. The relaxing whine of the mixer engine doing its job making the best stuff on earth.
What is the best stiff on earth you ask?
Salted Caramel Cupcakes* to be honest.
A few weeks back I made a grown up version of Krispie Treats with salted caramel. They were quite amazing (recipe for that soon…). But there is something about a cupcake that makes you revert back to your earliest memories of childhood. The smallness and sweetness that is so huge yet wrapped up in an adorable four-bite package.
If you are like me, you savor the cupcake and eat from the bottom up, as the frosting is, well, like the icing on the cake. The whole reason you came for.
With these cupcakes, although I am tempted to follow my normal routine, I allow myself to get every sweet and savory morsel of flavor in each bite. The pay off is astounding.
Make these. Eat these. And be at peace.
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 stick of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla, pure is the only way to go.
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
3 tablespoons salted butter cubed
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoons heavy cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 stick salted butter
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers football: The former Palo Alto star (photo above) had five catches for 88 yards and a touchdown as the Packers charged back behind Aaron Rodgers to beat the Chicago Bears 24-23 on Sunday night.
Carmen Annevelink, Cal women's volleyball: The 6-foot-2 outside hitter out of Los Altos is in her senior year and has helped the Golden Bears to a 7-2 start, with nine kills in a sweep of Fresno State on Saturday and the third-most kills on the team so far with 84.
KeeSean Johnson, Fresno State football: Another ex-Paly standout, the 6-foot-2, 199-pound senior followed in the footsteps of Adams by joining the Bulldogs and had six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in a 21-14 loss at Minnesota on Saturday after opening the season with six catches and 118 yards in a 79-13 shellacking of Idaho.
Jake Haener, Washington football: The former Monte Vista star had a flawless stat line for Washington in relief of quarterback Jake Browning, completing all seven of his passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in a 45-3 rout of North Dakota. Not a bad college debut.

Aion. The best way to play a MMORPG.
Let me just state this before anything. I do not know much about Aion. All I know is that you can fly and it's a PvPvE game.
With that aside, to my blog.
In this day and age it's hard to get excited for a game mainly due to the fact that you know about the whole game before it even releases via Internet. Everything is spoiled for us. The only thing we tend to get anymore is just the play experience. What if I were to tell you I'm interested in Aion because not only does it look like a solid MMO, polished, and few bugs, but because I don't know much about the game. I don't know how it plays and I don't know the different races and the lore. Everything is new to me. Which is what I think is the best way to go into any gaming experience.
This is the new way I'm going to look at games. Not just MMO's, but all games. If I know it looks like a great title, I'll leave it at that. What's the point of hyping up and knowing most of the mechanics before you even dive into the world? If you find yourself disappointed by most of the MMO's out there, why don't you try this approach.
I'm going to keep this post short today, don't what to get into much of a rant. Step back a bit. Keep some things secret and be surprised when you log in the first time. I guarantee that you will feel a sense of being immersed in a world rather than "Ok, here we go again."
