King Khan & the Shrines @ LPR 6/6/2014
King Khan & the Shrines spent the weekend in NYC, playing Le Poisson Rouge on Friday (6/6) and Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday (6/7), part of their tour with fellow Canadians Red Mass. Pics from LPR are in this post.
Khan's voice sounded a little shot on Saturday but he and the band were in typically good spirits. The Shrines are one of those bands whose jobs it is to "have a good time" and to exalt the King. Keyboardist Fred Fredovitch had his enormous organ (ahem) in crowd by the second song. It's schtick, but it's good schtick, and they're killer musicians with good songs at the base. Great songs, even, like "Bite My Tongue" and "Land of the Freak," "I Wanna Be a Girl" and "Born to Die" from last year's Idle No More." Check out the full setlist from LPR below.
Openers Red Mass were good too and, like The Shrines, mix genres. But where King Khan imagines a Motown that would've signed The Stooges, Roy of Red Mass doesn't have quite as singular a vision. Some songs were straight-up garage punk, others had an almost disco backbeat that would've been at home in 2005. They were all pretty good though. (Their drummer is crazy good.) Not sure why they came out in hoods and animal masks only to almost immediately discard them, something it doesn't look like they did at the LPR show. Also: at MHOW, the band brought out Rick Froberg (Obits/Hot Snakes) for the song he sings on for Red Mass' new album due out later this year.
Both King Khan and Red Mass play again tonight (6/8) at NJ's Asbury Lanes. You can also catch Red Mass on Monday (6/9) at The Flat with Foster Care and Atlanta's Dasher.

Red Mass ready new LP feat. Mac DeMarco, Mike Watt & more; playing The Flat after NYC shows w/ King Khan (dates)
Montreal's Red Mass are a mercurial lot. Led by onetime CPC Gangbangs member Roy Vucino (aka Choyce), the line-up has expanded and contracted but the MO remains the same: pysch-punk with a flair for arty drama. I caught Red Mass' first-ever show back in 2008 when there was about 10 of them; these days the band are down to a more typical lineup. Red Mass' new album, A Hopeless Noise: The Story of a Diamond Girl will be out later this year and features appearances from King Khan, Mac DeMarco, Obits/Hot Snakes/Drive Like Jehu's Rick Froberg and Mike Watt. You can check out "Sharp," the video of which has DeMarco in it, below.
Red Mass are currently on tour with King Khan & the Shrines which rolls into the NYC area this weekend: Le Poisson Rouge on Friday, June 6 (tickets) and Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday, June 7 (tickets); and NJ's Asbury Lanes on Sunday, June 8 (tickets). If you wanna see Red Mass in a more up-close-and-personal enviornment, they'll play Brooklyn's The Flat on Monday (6/9) with Dasher and Foster Care.
Choyce's other current project, PYPY, were through NYC not too long ago.
King Khan and the Shrines also play a free show at Manhattan Inn on Monday, the same day as Red Mass' Flat show.
All dates, plus the "Sharp" video and flyers, below...

The Men played Bowery Ballroom, touring with Nude Beach, playing The Wick with Obits (dates & new videos)
The Men @ Bowery Ballroom - 3/5/14 (via Todd Diciurcio)
Brooklyn punks/country rockers/jammers The Men just released their new album Tomorrow's Hits this week and celebrated by bringing their tour with The Ukiah Drag to Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday (3/5) for a hometown release show. You can check out a video of the band from that show, along with their new music video for "Pearly Gates" from the new record, below.
The Men will avoid SXSW insanity by heading to Europe for a tour next week, and later in the year they'll tour with their Brooklyn pals Nude Beach. That tour includes a show at new Brooklyn venue The Wick on May 10, and making it even more exciting, Obits are on that show too. That's a great triple bill. Tickets for the Wick show are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
Obits also just put out a new video. It's an animated one for the song "I'm Closing In" from last year's Bed & Bugs. Check that out, along with the Men videos and the list of tour dates, below...

Islands at Culture Shock 2012 (more by Kellyann Petry)
Islands have been on the road in support of their new album, Ski Mask, and as discussed, their tour hits NYC on Sunday (10/20) at Bowery Ballroom with Brazos and Fat Tony (tickets). Their tour schedule had a gap right before this NYC show, which fell right during CMJ, yet they had no CMJ shows scheduled. However, they will be making one CMJ appearance, as they are the special guests at tonight's Flowerbooking showcase at Knitting Factory (10/19) with Obits, The History of Apple Pie, Kid Karate, Prides, and Flashlights. Tickets for tonight's show are still available, and you can also try to get in using your CMJ badge.
Set times for tonight below...

Mary Timony (right) w/ Wild Flag at Sasquatch 2012 (more by Chris Graham)
Punk supergroup Wild Flag, who released an excellent album in 2011 and did a ton of touring around its release, have been quiet this past year, but the members are still keeping busy. Janet Weiss made a new album with her band Quasi (whose tour hits NYC this weekend), and teamed up with some other drummers for Drumgasm. And Carrie Brownstein's always up to something, whether it's appearing on SNL or just working on more Portlandia.
Now, Mary Timony (who was also in Helium and Autoclave) is back out there with a new band called Ex Hex, which is also the name of her 2005 solo album that came out via Lookout! Records (via Spin). The band have released their first new song, "Hot and Cold," which is along the lines of her best contributions to Wild Flag, and is a great play on the "Crimson and Clover" riff (or the "Sweet Jane" riff or the "Fox on the Run" riff, depending on where you're coming from). Check it out below.
Ex Hex will play their first show this Thursday (10/10) at DC's Rock and Roll Hotel with Obits (ex-Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes), Title Tracks (ex-Q and Not U), and Cane & the Sticks. Their only other announced date at the moment is DC's Shred Fest on 10/18.
UPDATE: Ex Hex will play their first NYC show as part of a BrooklynVegan CMJ party Saturday (10/19).
Obits also have other dates, a few of which are in NYC, including one this weekend.
Ex Hex song stream below...

Earlier this week, we announced that Invisible Oranges is sponsoring Judge at Saint Vitus Bar on 10/11 and A389 Fest on 1/17 and 1/18, 2014 at the Baltimore Soundstage. Tickets for both go on sale today at noon.
For the Judge show, you can get your tickets here as soon as noon rolls around. For A389 Fest, keep an eye on Baltimore Soundstage's Ticketfly page.
If you're interested in attending either of these shows, we'd strongly recommend diving on the tickets as quickly as possible when they go live. The Judge tickets will likely be available for a matter of minutes, and the early bird passes for A389 are already gone. Since the Judge show is part of CBGB Festival, a few lucky folks with badges will be able to get inside as well.
Meanwhile, another Brooklyn show happening the same weekend as CBGB Fest, but not part of it, is Obits at The Rock Shop, which initially seemed like a CBGB Fest show, but isn't one.

On Saturday, Obits played a record release show at The Bell House for their third long-player, Bed & Bugs, which is out now via Sub Pop. If you couldn't make it to that show, the band will have a couple more shows coming up in NYC as part of their tour which starts next week. They'll be playing a tiny show on October 12 at The Rock Shop with openers Lame Drivers and Family Curse. Tickets are on sale.
UPDATE: Though it's true that the Rock Shop show is during CBGB Festival, and Obits are listed on CBGB Fest's website, that show is not actually part of CBGB Festival.
They'll also be here for CMJ, playing Knitting Factory on October 19 as part of the Flower Booking showcase that also features UK band The History of Apple Pie and Kid Karate. Tickets are still available, and if you've got a badge you can get in with that as well. They may have other shows as well -- day parties and the like -- so stay tuned.
If you haven't heard Bed & Bugs yet, you can stream it in full, along with a list of updated Obits tour dates, below.

UK band The History of Apple Pie released their debut album, ready new single, coming to NYC for CMJ (dates & streams)
by Bill Pearis
UK quintet The History of Apple Pie began two years ago or so as a home recording project for couple Stephanie Min and Jerome Watson but soon grew into a full-on band. Their MO: Mining the early '90s indie sweet spot between Pale Saints and Pavement, or maybe the point point where shoegaze met Britpop. You know, sugary harmonies and melodies are pulverized with distorted, swirling guitars, with hooks and noise finding equal sonic space. Original it is not, but they do it very well. The band released their debut album, Out of View, earlier this year and you can stream it below. The band will release a new single, "Don't You Wanna Be Mine?," on October 14 and you can stream that below too.
The band will be heading to NYC next month for CMJ. Their only confirmed show is the Flower Booking showcase at Knitting Factory on October 19 where they'll share the bill with Obits and Kid Karate. Tickets are on sale. More are sure to be announced as we get closer to the fest. Meanwhile, check out the album and single streams below.

festival roundup: Berlin Festival, ACL Fest, FFF Fest, CMJ, Voodoo Experience, CBGB Fest, Treasure Island
The big festival season may be coming to a close now that Labor Day is behind us and it doesn't really feel like summer anymore, but of course that doesn't mean there aren't any to still look forward to (though many are in warmer places than here in the Northeast).
One festival that will take an airplane ticket and a passport to get to from the US, but has a lineup that might make it worth it, is the Berlin Festival in -- you guessed it -- Berlin. It goes down this weekend from September 6-7 and includes Blur, Bjork, Pet Shop Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Klaxons, Savages, Justice (DJ), John Talabot (live), and more. Tickets for the festival are on sale now. Full schedule here.
In October, Austin gets the previously discussed Austin City Limits Festival for two weekends (10/4-6 & 10/11-13) with Depeche Mode, The Cure, Atoms for Peace, Phoenix, Wilco, Vampire Weekend, The National, passion Pit, Queens of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick Lamar, Franz Ferdinand and more. Weekend passes for weekend 2 and VIP options for both weekends are still available. Check out the schedule here. If you'll be in Austin for the festival, don't forget to catch some of the official late shows too.
Later on in the year, Austin gets the previously discussed Fun Fun Fun Fest (Nov. 8-10) which includes Descendents, Quicksand, Television, Deerhunter, MGMT, M.I.A., Snoop Dogg, Cut Copy, The Walkmen, Kurt Vile, Body Count, Cloud Nothings, Title FIght, White Lung and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full lineup.
Around that same time, New Orleans hosts the previously mentioned Voodoo Experience festival (11/1-3) with Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, The Gaslight Anthem, Desaparecidos, Cults, Rudimental and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full schedule.
Though it's not quite a "festival," NYC will be bombarded by a whole slew of bands this fall when a big portion of the music industry heads our way for the 2013 CMJ Music Marathon, which runs from October 15-19. Confirmed artists include The Dismemberment Plan, Pelican, Jacco Gardner, Good Riddance, Godflesh, Eagulls, Courtney Barnett, The Long Winters, Savages, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, Eleanor Friedberger, Kevin Drew, Obits, Fuck Buttons, Quadron, Speedy Ortiz, Lawrence Rothman and more. Badges are on sale now.
Right before CMJ, NYC will be getting the 2013 CBGB Music & Film Festival which goes from October 9 to 13 across various venues and includes Andy Shernoff, Arto Lindsay, Bass Drum of Death, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Ginger Baker, Hanni El Khatib, Meat Puppets, Obits, The Spits, Tommy Ramone, and more. Badges are still available.
And right as CMJ is ending in NYC, San Francisco will be getting its two-day Treasure Island Music Festival (10/19-20). That festival includes Atoms for Peace, Beck, Animal Collective, James Blake, Japandroids, Disclosure, Tricky, Little Dragon, and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full schedule.
What else?
The 2013 CMJ Music Marathon happens from October 15 - 19 at clubs all over New York City. As we've been tweeting about at @BVCMJ, tonight (8/27), the CMJ folks held an announcement party at Bowery Electric with live performances from Weekend and Magic Man.
They also announced their initial line-up for this year's fest, which includes Kevin Drew, The Long Winters, Real Estate, Obits, The Dismemberment Plan (Terminal 5), Pelican (who are playing both of our Invisible Oranges showcases at Saint Vitus), Jacco Gardner, Good Riddance, Godflesh, Eagulls, the Pendu Sound showcase, and many more.
We'll have a set of pics from Weekend and Magic Man soon, but for now peruse the full initial CMJ 2013 line-up below.

As mentioned, Obits' third album, Bed & Bugs is due out via Sub Pop on September 10. It's probably their most varied album to date, but still a rager -- and maybe the best thing they've done yet. Obits already let us "Taste the Diff" and now we've got the premiere of the nicely twangy "Spun Out" which you can stream and/or download below. Guitarist Sohrab Habibion fills us in on the tune:
This tune was originally called "Black Ice" until we realized that there is an exceptionally mediocre AC/DC song and album from 2008 with the same name. So, instead of changing the name to a great Acca Dacca number like "She's Got Balls," we decided to go with "Spun Out." When I first wrote the intro guitar part that ends up sort of doubling the opening bass line, I was thinking of trying something like what Stuart Moxham does on Young Marble Giants' "Choco Loni," but then Rick came up with those buttery Duane Eddy chords, which gave it nice twist. And for music nerds, there's an interesting change in the outro, where Greg holds his bass loop from the chorus while Rick transitions from a picking guitar part to more of a rave-up and I add some rhythmic guitar stabs. We wanted to gradually increase the tension before the song finally falls apart. Also I really like Rick's lyrics on this one, which are as heartbreaking as a classic country song. It's easy to imagine one of the great Chuck's (Charlie Rich, Charley Pride, Charlie Daniels) singing "Want a change in lighting. Want a change for life. Each link on a bad road broken. Want a change for life."As they've done for every album, Obits are playing a record release party for Bed & Bugs at The Bell House on September 21 and tickets are still available. The band have also expanded their fall tour a bit and updated dates are listed, along with the "Spun Out" stream, below.

Gainesville's The Fest expands lineup (ALL, Circle Takes The Square, United Nations, Titus Andronicus & more)
by Andrew Sacher
Circle Takes the Square (photo by Danin Drahos)
As discussed, Gainesville's The Fest is returning this year from October 31 to November 3, and they've just expanded their lineup to include more artists. Additions includes post-hardcore/screamo giants Circle Takes The Square, who have been reunited for a bit but still only rarely play US shows; Geoff Rickly's United Nations, who are also back, but have not been as active as Geoff's solo project; punk vets ALL; Titus Andronicus (who have multiple NYC-area appearances coming up); Fake Problems and more.
Those recent additions join previously announced names like Torche, White Lung, Bouncing Souls, Ceremony, Braid, Paint It Black, Samiam, Knapsack (reunion), The Draft (reunion), The Menzingers, The Lawrence Arms, Hop Along, Code Orange Kids, Creative Adult, Pity Sex, Mean Jeans, Retox, Lemuria, Greys, Tenement, Tim Barry, Toys That Kill, The Night Marchers and more. Tickets for The Fest are on sale now.
Circle Takes The Square returned in December, 2012 with Decompositions Volume Number One, their first album of new material since reuniting and second overall. It's not the instant masterpiece that their 2004 debut, As the Roots Undo, is, but it's still damn good. Download it in its entirety at bandcamp (name your price) or stream it in its entirety, along with the updated The Fest lineup, below.

Obits' Rick Froberg showing of the sights in Budapest (via @obits)
Hot Snakes/Drive Like Jehu-related band Obits are currently in Budapest -- as you can see above -- as part of an Eastern European tour. (Where it's really hot currently, apparently.) That hasn't stopped them from announcing today that they'll release their third long-player, Bed & Bugs, on September 10 via Sub Pop. The album was recorded in Arlington, VA with old pals Eli Janney and Geoff Sanoff, and features a cover of Orchestra Ethiopia's "Besetchet" (the original can be heard on volume 23 of the excellent Ethiopiques series). You can check out the cover art, tracklist and a trailer for the album below.
While Obits haven't announced a full tour, they will be playing a record release show in Brooklyn at The Bell House on September 21. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
All dates are listed, alongside album info and trailer, below...

Obits working on LP #3, list their "Top 10 songs we will do our best not to directly rip off" ++ other news
"Thank you, Brisbane!" - Obits Instagram
Like we've done with a lot of bands this year, we asked Brooklyn's Obits for a list of their favorite albums of 2012. Guitarist Sohrab Habibion wrote back saying, "It usually takes some time to figure out if a record is really going to stick with me, so even though I liked what I heard from Beak, Disappears, Oneida, Pontiak, Royal Baths and Zomes, I'll submit my best of 2012 in a few years," and instead said, "since Obits is working on a new record, here are the Top 10 songs we will do our best not to directly rip off." You can check out that list, complete with YouTube clips for each one, below. Drummer (and onetime Girls Against Boys member) Alexis Fleisig also submitted "Top Ten Things I Completely Took For Granted This Year" which is below as well.
Sohrab, who also reformed his old band Edsel for a couple shows this year, also gave a rundown of Obits 2012 activity and what's in store for 2013:
Despite not putting out a full LP, we kept pretty busy. We released two 7"s - one on Sub Pop with 2 covers and another on a Spanish label called La Castanya with 2 originals on it.Sorhab and Alexis' Top 10 lists are below...
And along with some east coast shows, Austin and Denver (a new US city for us), we went to Europe twice this year, getting to play in Greece, Portugal, Italy and Sweden for the first time. We also went to Australia, which was truly as cool as every band that goes there says it is.
On the horizon ... a couple NYC shows.
1. January 18 = Obits at Rock Shop with Browns & Wrong Dots (tickets).
2. January 19 = Obits at Cake Shop for a Norton Records benefit with The Psyched, Flying Teeth & Entartete (tickets).
3. Finishing our next album. We have bunches and bunches of song fragments in various stages. The next few months we will be deciding what's worth keeping or working on or tossing in the trash.
4. Going back to Europe in June. It'll be a combination of places we've been and haven't been, including Poland and Ukraine, which we're looking forward to.
Also, this year there were some Hot Snakes shows and an Edsel reunion & re-issues (http://www.comedyminusone.com/023.php), which was kind of unexpected. Next year there might be a handful more Hot Snakes shows, maybe an Edsel appearance or two (along with additional re-issues and tunes from the vault), as well as some Girls Against Boys activity.

Rick of Obits on stage with Hot Snakes at ATP NY 2012 (more by Erik Erikson)
Though Rick Froberg has been playing his fair share with Hot Snakes as of late, he's still left plenty of room for Obits. The band recently released a fresh pair of jams on a tour-only 7" during a Spanish tour. They've also curated and posted a a YouTube playlist of "random tunes kicking around in our heads" that you can watch below. And now comes word that the band has announced a pair of shows for us NYCers, the first of which will go down on 1/18 at Rock Shop with Browns & Wrong Dots. Tickets are on sale.
The second Obits date will go down on 1/19 at Cake Shop as part of a benefit for Norton Records. Joining the band will be sets from The Psyched, Flying Teeth, and Entartete. Tickets are on sale. If you can't make it to the 1/19 show, then you can give directly to help out Norton.
Head below for the Obits video playlist, as well as a video on some of the devastation at Norton Records.

Edsel in the '90s
As you may remember, much-loved and underrated '90s indie rock outfit Lotion are playing on Saturday (10/6) at Mercury Lounge with fellow Clinton-era group Edsel for whom this will be their first show in 12 years. It's a late show (doors 10:30) tickets are still available.
Despite what sounds like a fun late night reunion party, both groups have signed on for an afternoon show the next day (10/7) at The Rock Shop. Show is at 1 PM and tickets are on sale.
Meanwhile, the last of Edsel's albums was just reissued via Comedy Minus One. That would be their 1995 album, Techniques of Speed Hypnosis, that the band recorded in Liverpool with Anjali Dutt and Andy Wilkinson whose noisy pedigree included Swervedriver, The Boo Radleys and My Bloody Valentine. Vocalist Sohrab Habbibion (now of Obits) offers up an entertaining recollection of making the album over at the CM1 site, which included spending a lot of time in the recording studio hangout room playing pool with Ian McCulloch. You can stream "Suits Me Fine" from the reissue below.

Lotion at Knitting Factory 10/17/2011
You may remember that '90s-era NYC indie rock band Lotion played their first show in 12 years last October as part of the Royal Flush Festival. The band have decided to make the reunion an annual event and this year's Lotion show happens at Mercury Lounge on October 6. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, August 17 at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (8/15) at noon.
I went to last year's show which found the band surprisingly together, given that they had two weeks notice of doing it with members far-flung around the U.S. It was a really fun show. There's video of the band doing "Rock Chick" and "Feedback Queen" at the bottom of this post. With two months notice this year, who knows what may happen.
To make this a little more special (and a "holy crap!" show for some), Lotion have coaxed fellow Clinton-era rockers Edsel out of retirement who played their last show on Valentines Day 2000 at Brownies. Influenced heavily by Wire and other UK post punks, Edsel made dream pop with a decidedly DC-indie bent. The band for this show will be longtime members Sohrab Habibion (who is now in Obits), Geoff Sanoff, and Steve Raskin, plus Obits drummer Alexis Fleisig (filling in for Nick Pellicciotto and John Dugan).
Much of Edsel's back catalog has gotten the reissue-remaster treatment via Comedy Minus One. Last year saw The Everlasting Belt Co. and Detroit Folly, and their final and best album, 1995's Techniques of Speed Hypnosis (recorded in England with MBV engineer Anjali Dutt), will be out in time for the Mercury Lounge show. There are a couple Edsel MP3s you can download above and you can stream Detroit Folly via a Spotify app at the bottom of this post.
Video and streams are below.

Ted Leo @ The Bell House
Attention those in (army jackets in) attendance at the Bell House on 12/30:
"Tall guy in army jacket w a great smile, you danced next to me and my friend. You piled your black coat on my bag and coat.Attention Jonah:
Where did you go?
Does this ever work? I'm giving it a shot."
[Ted Leo at The Bell House - w4m (Park Slope )]
you should call/email me so I can give my friend's number to your friend. She was waiting for him to ask.The Ted Leo & The Pharmacists show at the Bell House on 12/30 with Obits, Ted's first of two end-of-year shows with crowd surfing comedian Kurt Braunohler, was full of missed connections. Here are some pictures. Ted, Kurt and special guest Sharon Van Etten also played Maxwell's on New Year's Eve.

Ted Leo says a guest will be at Maxwell's on NYE; Obits opening Bell House show & playing March dates too
Ted Leo at Shea in November (more by Guy Eppel)
As mentioned, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will be in the NYC-area for New Year's Eve to play The Bell House on 12/30 (tickets) and Maxwell's on 12/31 (tickets).
According to Ted, there are only a few tickets left for the Maxwell's show and they're going fast. He also mentions that a "*Special Very Exciting* GUEST" will be there. Who do you think it is? If you're going, please say hi to this person who tweeted at Ted that they're "going alone so a 'hi' would make their night."
Comedian Kurt Braunohler opens both shows. I wonder if he'll also end up at Maxwell's at all this week for Yo La Tengo's Hanukkah shows. I wonder if Ted will? Say "hi" to Kurt too if you go.
Obits open the Bell House show and will also play NYC during a short run of dates in March with UK band Fists at Cake Shop on March 17. Tickets are on sale now (yes, advanced tickets for Cake Shop!). All dates are listed below.
In related news, the Fugazi web archives were recently launched and you can check out a listening session with Ted Leo.
Ted's other band, Citizens Arrest, had to cancel their ABC No Rio show which would have went down this past Saturday (12/17) but Omegas, Mind Eraser, and Night Birds still played the venue. Check out pics from that show HERE.

"Last night i got to see one of my favorite bands re-unite. I thought i had seen the last of HOT SNAKES back on June 1st 2005 when i saw them at their last ever London UK gig. Then i really thought I'd never see them again at their final NYC show on August 9th 2005 at the Bowery Ballroom.And they do it again tonight! (at Maxwell's). More pictures from last night (12/1), setlist included, below...
I was teased last year when OBITS and NIGHT MARCHERS played a secret gig together in Park Slope Brooklyn thinking for sure they would have to do an encore together as HOT SNAKES but no avail. Then i got word that at the same gig in San Diego they did in fact re-unite as HOT SNAKES leaving me with suspicions they would one day play again.
And finally last night on December 1st 2011 it happened at the Bell House in Park Slope Brooklyn. Word's can not describe how incredible every aspect of this show was. From old friends to the most perfect guitar tones to a phenomenal set list. Hat's off to you HOT SNAKES... well done!" [Justin Scurti]

It never fails, the week after CMJ I get sick. So here I sit, with a big cup of green tea and a stuffy head, writing about shows that I want to go to, but probably won't. But hopefully you are in better health. There's a lot of great options this weekend.
As you may have heard, two-year-old Williamsburg club Bruar Falls is closing November 1. I live pretty close to the place, have seen a lot of great shows there and am bummed it's shutting its doors. But for Bruar Falls' Last Week Ever, it's going out in style with a bunch of great shows. Tonight (10/28) it's The Beets, Tanks Amigo, the Beachniks and, just in time for Halloween, a Misfits cover band.
Saturday night (10/29) is for you punkers out there: Stalkers, Tough Shits, Ex-Humans and Dino's Boys. And then Sunday night (10/30) it's Dive, Shark?, Air Waves and Bright Lights. And then Halloween night (10/31) is the for real last night ever with Friend Roulette, Hunktronik, Clouder and KNTRLR.
A lot of these bands are BF regulars so I imagine there will be a palpable party vibe there all weekend long. I'll miss ya.
Peaking Lights
Tonight (10/28) is the NYC debut of Wisconsin husband and wife duo Peaking Lights whose alluring, dubby album 963 came out early this year on Not Not Fun but is getting wider distribution next month via Mexican Summer and Domino imprint Weird World. You can download a few tracks from the record at the top of this post.
A lot of the strange sounds heard on the album come via homemade instruments and effects boxes that Aaron Coyes makes in the basement of his and singer Indra Dunis' home. You can find out more about this via an episode of VBS TV's Soundbuilders which is streaming at the bottom of this post. After watching that, I'm curious to see how Peaking Lights will pull off a live show, what with all the delicate McGuyver-esque gear. But the record's great and I'm hoping for the best.
Radical Dads
One of my favorite sets at CMJ was seeing Radical Dads at Bruar Falls on Saturday night and reminded me just how good they've become. In fact, I'd go as far to say as they're one of Brooklyn's best bands right now. Certainly one of the more unheralded. If you like Wild Flag, I urge you to check out RD's debut album Mega Rama which has a similar vibe but is much less hyped. There's a streaming player at the bottom of this post.
I'm happy to report that Mega Rama is getting a belated vinyl release in December via Loud Baby Sounds. You can pre-order it now. The album art is one of my favorite record covers of the year and have been dying to own a big 12" version of it -- not to mention getting to play it on my turntable. Also on the vinyl tip, Radical Dads also have a 7" coming out in December, "Skateboarding Bulldog," which you can stream or download via a widget at the bottom of this post.
But more than maybe anything I suggest going to see them live which you can do tonight (10/28) at Spike Hill where they'll play with Plates of Cake, Quilty, and Conversion Party. Cover's only five bucks.
Star Slinger
If glitchy dance music is more your thing, the weekend has two very good options. Star Slinger, who was supposed to play here in the spring but had to cancel, is finally making his NYC debut at Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight (10/28). After a bunch of head-turning remixes and download tracks, Star Slinger recently released his first "official" single, "Dumbin," via Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound which you can stream or download at the bottom of this post.
After the MHoW, which also has SHLOMO and Shitego on the bill, you might want to swing over to 285 Kent where there's a "secret guest" headliner. (G-Side and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire play as well.) Though not mentioned out-and-out, they do link to Star Slinger's website on the Facebook invite.
Gold Panda
Then Saturday night (10/29), the Fixed party at Cameo has UK act Gold Panda who's been remixed by Star Slinger and is following up last year's excellent Lucky Shiner with his spin on the latest installment of K7!'s DJ Kicks series. In a bit of Brooklyn weekend synergy, GP's track "An Iceberg Hurled Through Northern Clouds" just got remixed by Peaking Lights and you can stream the remix of that below.
The Fixed party at Cameo also features Lemonade, Blondes and an open bar from 8 - 10. Gold Panda then heads the next day (ouch) to Moogfest in Ashville, NC.
Saturday night has a pretty killer show at Glasslands. Obits headline and are still driving on the high octane tank of gas that is their second album, Moody, Standard and Poor. Perhaps even more exciting, for some folks, is opener Office of Future Plans which is the new thing from Jawbox man J. Robbins.
Terry Malts
And finally, a little preview into early next week. Don't forget that the Wax Idols/Terry Malts tour hits Cake Shop on Tuesday (11/1) and Shea Stadium on Wednesday (11/2) for a double dose of San Francisco style fuzz. As I wrote elsewhere on this site:
Wax Idols are the new group from Hether Fortune, who has spent time in Hunx & His Punx and Bare Wires. Fuzz pedals crash into jangly guitars, vocals are high sneer but also full of harmony, and there's room for both girl group balladry and a tough cover of Wire's "Sand in My Joints." The band's debut, No Future, is out next month on HoZac and is quite good. You can check out "Dead Like You" from it at the top of this post.Other bands on the Cake Shop bill are still TBA but the Shea Stadium show also features Sundelles, Habibi, and the ever-present Dive (if you haven't seen them yet, you're making an effort not to).
As for the Terry Malts, their debut 7" on Slumberland from earlier this year is three quick blasts of sunny pop covered in a thick blanket of white noise. (Somewhere between '80s West Coast punk and C-'86 lies their sound.) It's the new project from most of the guys in Magic Bullets, a band that has been put in cold storage -- they played their final show August 24. They've got a new 7" out in about a month, and you can download "Distracted" from the first one at the top of this post.
That's the main stuff. More daily picks are below.
Pixies continue to tour their best album, Dolittle, tonight at Asbury Park Convention Hall with Surfer Blood opening.
Meanwhile... Tanya Donnely, who was in the original line-up of the Breeders (not to mention Throwing Muses and then Belly) is doing a show at Joe's Pub. She'll be aded and abetted by Michael Hearst of One Ring Zero, writer Rick Moody, as well as Magnetic Fields cohorts Claudia Gonson and Sam Davol, plus Carrie Bradley who was also in the Breeders at one point (and folk rock band Ed's Redeeming Qualities).
Over at St. Vitus, it's an evening of dark sounds, with French minimal waver Frank (Just Frank), Bootblacks and Philly's Hot Guts.
continued below...

Office of Future Plans, featuring J Robbins of Jawbox and Government Issue, are set to make their NYC debut opening for Obits at Glasslands on October 29. Tickets are still on sale.
Other members of Office of Future Plans include Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454, Channels), Brooks Harlan (Avec, War on Woman), and Gordon Withers (known for his cello covers of Jawbox songs). Their debut album comes out this November via Dischord Records. Check out the tracklist below.
That tracklist, all dates, a recent live video, and a stream of the "Harden Your Heart" 7" below...

(Beijing) – The Communist Party recently expelled former railways chief Liu Zhijun for disciplinary violations and handed the case to judicial authorities for a criminal trial.
The progress for Liu's prosecutors parallels efforts to speed up financial and operation reforms at the Ministry of Railways, which runs the nation's network of passenger and freight lines, track construction companies and train manufacturing.
As part of the long-anticipated reform effort, the central government in May announced plans to open the rail system to private investors, decentralize the contract bidding process and increase rates for freight customers.
Contractors welcomed the change in the bidding system which, according to representatives from several railway suppliers, was easily manipulated in the old days before Liu's corruption was exposed.
"Before Liu Zhijun was ousted," said one contractor, "basically all the tender results were artificially manipulated."

John Hurt Lets Something Slip…
Speculation about John Hurt's role in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary has been rife across the web since his casting was announced. Could a recent comment have confirmed at least one of those rumours or theories?
[spoiler ]
Speaking to the Eastern Daily Press at an event at Sheringham Little Theatre, Hurt revealed something of the nature of his character…
Mr Hurt, who lives near Cromer, earlier told the EDP he had just finished shooting a Dr Who 3D special in which he plays "part of the Doctor" in a "kind of trinity" which includes David Tennant.
We naturally wouldn't want anyone to get too excited/dismayed about this (that disclaimer's an indication of the general mood of fandom if ever I saw one…) but it makes for very interesting reading.
Please note that comments on this article may contain spoilers.
11 Responses to John Hurt Lets Something Slip…
Dont read my post if you didnt click on the spoiler…
Ha Ha! Yes, that's what I heard as well. Sounds pretty cool if its true and why not? It ties in with the Mind duel scene in Brain of Morbius: Perhaps there are 'inbetween' Doctors who are considered and not picked at the moment of regeneration. Or unbound Doctors like Big Finish presents. And if not who knows what the Time War did to the Doctor? Interesting stuff. I hope they do present him as the Doctor and hopefully not press the 'Reset' button at the end and ignore him as cannon.
John Hurt's a great actor, but we really need McCoy and McGann etc., the 'actual' doctors…
I think the most interesting twist for the "trinity" would be a future regeneration. It was teased in "The Next Doctor", but a multi-doctor story with the 12th Doctor would be interesting. Of course at the end of the story there would be something that would prevent Matt Smith from regenerating into him and thus remove that regeneration forever, probably making him an alternate 12th Doctor.
What if he's the recast 8th Doctor? Although, I read he could be something between the Doctors 8-9th incarnations during the Time War. It would be a bit disappointing for Paul McGann
So if as some sites claim (Blastr) John Hurt is playing a " forgotten " Doctor from The Time Wars Making DT 11th Doctor and MS 12th. So that would mean " The fall of the 11th would refer to DT's Doctor
The Valeyard? Or a 'light side' version of the Valeyard perhaps?
The Watcher, The Valeyard, The Dream Lord; so many "semi-Doctors" what's one more?
I'm thinking of the New Adventure "Head Games" in which an incarnation of the Doctor, "Time's Champion" is "sealed" in a section of the Doctor's brain. It was suggested that a Timelord's brain had 13 memory sections, one for each of his/her incarnations. In this case "Time's Champion" was overwhelmed by the "spirits" of the other Doctors & walled up in his particular section.
i've been trying to figure out his involvement ever since the finale. November can't get here quick enough!

Episode 39: Crowd Fusion's Brian Alvey live on The Big Web Show
BRIAN ALVEY (home, Twitter) is our guest on The Big Web Show Episode 39, recording live Thursday, February 16, at 12:00 PM Eastern at 5by5.tv/live.
Brian is CEO of Crowd Fusion, a publishing platform that combines popular applications like blogging, wikis, tagging and workflow management, and a leader in the content management world. He co-founded Weblogs, Inc.—home to Engadget, Autoblog, TUAW and more—and built the Blogsmith platform, both of which were acquired by Aol and are essential to their current strategy. Brian has been putting big brands on the web since 1995 when he designed the first TV Guide website and helped BusinessWeek leap from Aol to the web.
Brian built database-driven web applications and content management systems for many large companies in the 1990's including Intel, J.D. Edwards, Deloitte & Touche and The McGraw-Hill Companies. His 1999 Tech-Engine site was a "skinnable HotJobs" which powered over 200 online career centers including XML.com, Perl.com, O'Reilly & Associates Network, DevShed, and Computer User magazine.
He has been the art director of three print magazines (I met him in 1995 when he was art director for "Net Surfer" or something like that) and was the Chief Technology Officer of Rising Tide Studios where he developed The Venture Reporter Network, which is now a Dow Jones property.
In 2003, Brian invented and launched Blogstakes, a sweepstakes application for the blogging community. He is a former Happy Cog partner of mine; at Happy Cog, Brian built content management systems for customers including Capgemini, A List Apart, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He was also the creator and host of the Meet The Makers conference, a series of talk show-style events that were so compelling, they helped inspired me to create An Event Apart with Eric Meyer.
And I'll stop there. Ladies and gentlemen, a legend and true creative force in this medium. Please join us at tomorrow on 5by5.tv/live for a lively and wide-ranging discussion.

I guest-edit .net magazine
A List Apart and .net magazine have long admired each other. So when .net editor Dan Oliver did me the great honor of asking if I wished to guest edit an issue, I saluted smartly. The result is now arriving in subscriber post boxes and will soon flood Her Majesty's newsstands.
In .net magazine Issue No. 206, on sale 17th August in UK (and next month in the US, where it goes by the name "Practical Web Design"), we examine how new standards like CSS3 and HTML5, new devices like iPhone and Droid, and maturing UX disciplines like content strategy are converging to create new opportunities for web designers and the web users we serve:
- Exult as Luke Wroblewski shows how the explosive growth of mobile lets us stop bowing to committees and refocus on features customers need.
- Marvel as Ethan Marcotte explains how fluid grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries help us create precise yet context-sensitive layouts that change to fit the device and screen on which they're viewed.
- Delight as Kristina Halvorson tells how to achieve better design through coherent content wrangling.
- Thrill as Andy Hume shows how to sell wary clients on cutting-edge design methods never before possible.
- Geek out as Tim Van Damme shows how progressive enhancement and CSS3 make for sexy experiences in today's most capable browsers—and damned fine experiences in those that are less web-standards-savvy.
You can also read my article, which asks the musical question:
Cheap, complex devices such as the iPhone and the Droid have come along at precisely the moment when HTML5, CSS3 and web fonts are ready for action; when standards-based web development is no longer relegated to the fringe; and when web designers, no longer content to merely decorate screens, are crafting provocative, multi-platform experiences. Is this the dawn of a newer, more mature, more ubiquitous web?
Today's web is about interacting with your users wherever they are, whenever they have a minute to spare. New code and new ideas for a new time are what the new issue of .net magazine captures. There has never been a better time to create websites. Enjoy!

Crowdsourcing Dickens
As an experiment in new new media thinking, I recently crowdsourced a new new literature version of Charles Dickens's musty old old old lit chestnut, Great Expectations—the familiar tale of Pip, Ms Havisham, the convict Magwitch, et al.
Creative excellence and spin-worthy results required a pool of 10,000 people who had never read Great Expectations. Fortunately, I had access to 10,000 recent American college graduates, so that was no problem.
To add a dab of pseudoscience and appeal obliquely to the copyleft crowd, I remixed the new work's leading literary themes with the top 20 Google search queries, using an algorithm I found in the mens room at Penn Station.
The result was a work of pure modern genius, coming soon to an iPad near you. (Profits from the sale will be used to support Smashing Magazine's footer and sidebar elements.)
Gone was the fusty old title. Gone were the cobwebbed wedding cake and other dare I say emo images. It was goodbye to outdated characters like Joe the blacksmith and the beautiful Estella, farewell to the love story and the whole careful parallel between that thing and that other thing.
Gone too was the tired old indictment of the Victorian class system, and by implication of all economic and social systems that separate man from his brothers in Christ, yada yada. As more than one of my young test subjects volunteered in a follow-up survey, "Heard it."
In place of these obsolete narrative elements, the students and the prioritized Google searches created, or dare I say curated, a tale as fresh as today's algorithmically generated headlines.
The results are summarized in the table below.
|Old Great Expectations
|New Great Expectations
|On Christmas Eve, Pip, an orphan being raised by his sister, encounters the convict Magwitch on the marshes.
|The convict compels Pip to steal food from his sister's table, and a file from her husband the blacksmith's shop. Pip thereby shares the convict's guilt and sin—but his kindness warms the convict's heart.
|Guy on girl
|Pip's sister, Mrs. Joe, abuses him. Her husband loves Pip but is unable to protect him or offer him a future beyond blacksmithing.
|Girl on girl (multiple entries)
|Pip meets Miss Havisham, an old woman abandoned on her wedding day, who sits in her decrepit house, wearing a yellowing wedding gown, her only companion the beautiful and mysterious girl Estella. Pip falls in love with Estella, but Miss Havisham has trained the girl to break men's hearts.
|Guy on guy
|Pip visits Miss Havisham until his apprenticeship with Joe the blacksmith begins. Pip hates being a blacksmith and worries that Estella will see him as common.
|Two girls, one guy
|Mrs Joe suffers a heart attack that leaves her mute. A kind girl named Biddy comes to take care of Mrs Joe. After Mrs Joe's death, Biddy and Joe will marry. Meanwhile, Pip comes into an unexpected inheritance and moves to London, where he studies with a tutor and lives with his friend Herbert.
|Pip believes Miss Havisham is his benefactor and that she intends him to marry Estella, whom he still adores. Day by day, Estella grows more cruel. Pip never tells her of his love for her.
|One stormy night, Pip discovers that his benefactor is not Miss Havisham but the convict Magwitch. The news crushes Pip, but he dutifully allows Magwitch to live with him—worrying, all the while, because Magwitch is a wanted man who will be hanged if discovered.
|Miss Havisham repents having wasted her life and perverted Estella. She is caught in a fire. Pip heroically saves her but she later dies from her burns. Soon afterwards, Pip and Herbert try to help Magwitch escape, but Magwitch's old enemy Compeyson—who happens to be the man who abandoned Miss Havisham at the altar—betrays Magwitch to the authorities. Magwitch and Compeyson struggle. Compeyson dies and Magwitch is taken to prison.
|Pip now realizes that Magwitch is a decent man and tries to make Magwitch's last years happy ones. He also discovers that Magwitch is Estella's father. Magwitch dies in prison shortly before he was to be executed. Pip tells the dying Magwitch of his love for Estella.
|Pip becomes ill and is nursed back to health by Joe, whom Pip recognizes as a good man in spite of his lack of education and "class." Pip goes into business overseas with Herbert. Eventually he returns to England and visits Joe, who has married Biddy. They have a child named Pip. As the book ends, the middle-aged Pip makes one last visit to Miss Havisham's house, where he discovers an older and wiser Estella. There is the implication that Pip and Estella may finally be together.

Ed Bott's Lament
In "IE9: Microsoft's new browser gets no respect at all," ZDNet's Ed Bott sees seething contempt where I intended even-handed calm, and asks why my discussion yesterday of the tone of a months-old IE announcement failed to discuss yesterday's keynote at MIX10, which I didn't see.
Ed, for the record: I didn't see the MIX10 keynote, which took place while I was traveling home from SXSW Interactive and after I wrote "IE9 Preview." I wasn't responding to the keynote. I was responding to the article I linked to, "An Early Look at IE9 For Developers."
As a hint, I linked to the article in my lede and referred to it by name.
Hours after I wrote the post, while I was sitting in a jet between Austin and New York, Microsoft unveiled updated information about IE9, with good news on its web standards support, which I've since had confirmed by neutral developers—neutral in the sense that their allegiance is to web standards, not to any particular browser or platform.
I look forward to studying up on the latest IE improvements. Contrary to your inference, I respect browser engineers as I respect people generally. Indeed, Chris Wilson, former IE lead, and Tantek Çelik, former IE/Mac lead, are my friends. Heck, a few nights ago, Tantek and I were partying like brothers at SXSW Interactive and I have often written glowingly about his and Chris's achievements on behalf of web standards and browser UX.
I'm surprised that you built a whole article out of refuting things you inferred but I never said. Slow news day?

To all angry gun hobbyists: Now isn't the time to start making threats. Especially if you're making threats about shooting up elementary schools! A man in Indiana, Von I. Meyer, was arrested after he allegedly threatened to kill his wife "at school" where she works in the cafeteria. The school is an elementary school. He also reportedly threatened to "kill as many people as he could before stopped by police." And the guy had the means to do it: The reported gun hobbyist had 47 guns, most of them "collector's guns," and $100,000 worth of ammunition.
Meyer's wife reportedly didn't go into work on Friday after her husband made his threats, and security was boosted at that school and three others.
Police believe that Meyer wasn't actually plotting anything. His guns were antique guns and cops say that he was "bluffing" during a heated argument. But, still, $100,000 worth of ammo? Even if you're just a collector, what is the point of all of that ammo? And how do you even afford it?!
Police sound awfully sure that the guy isn't a threat. Almost too sure. Listen to what Police Chief Jerry Smith had to say about it:
If people followed through on all the threats they've ever made -- things said in anger that they don't really mean and regret -- our population in this country would be half of what it is. This was something he said in the heat of an argument. He hadn't been plotting this.
Err, okay. People do say things in the heat of the moment that they then regret -- but people also DO things in the heat of the moment that they then regret. And if they say them first, then you've got time to do something about it. I just hope this guy isn't trouble down the road.
Now is most definitely NOT the time to be spewing threats about shooting up schools -- in fact, no time is the time for that. If you're going to own weapons, you've got to learn to watch what you say. With gun ownership comes responsibility. LOTS of it. Including learning what not to say. Maybe there will come a day when people with guns can't make threats without their guns being taken away -- though it would be hard to prove if someone really made a threat unless they admit it or they're recorded.
Do you think this guy was serious?

What a loser. Thank God he was arrested.
Well know that EVERYONE in Indiana and all over the country (possibly the world), knows who this jackass is, maybe, just maybe, someone will keep an eye and an ear out for him. And maybe, IF the time comes, he is taken out without any innocent lives being taken first.
Aren't terroristic threats against the law? Heat of the moment or not, we need to take this seriously.
My son attends this school. And I am grateful that this man was caught before he could carry out the threat, with what happened in CT more than grateful. I am concerned though with that fact that no parents were notified of this. I heard about it on Sunday. This morning the school sent out prerecorded messages via phone that they were not aware of the direct threat to the school, that they were aware of an altercation between two people and that extra precautions were taken on Friday. Reading the newspaper articles it is clear that the school WAS notified of the situation.We are notified of fog delays and other minor things but not when our children's direct safety is a concern? Isn't that the law? And by a threat that means no real crime was commited so what happens when he comes home? Hearing the tragic news on Friday morning of CT made mine as well as all parents everywhere hearts break in sadness and grief. Then to hear the news that this could have happend on that same day in your own child's school hits too close to home.
I think it's just a matter of time until someone decides they want to have a famous suicide and one-ups the CT shooter.
Anyone who threatens such violence should be jailed and/or institutionalized. If they are vicious and stupid enough to say it, then we need to take them seriously. No more coddling, no more First Amendment Rights for vicious people. I am so done with all this, as I know most of us are!

If you truly want to become successful online you're going to have to recognize that marketing is going to be one of the only ways that you'll have the ability to find success. If you search the Internet for advertising and marketing methods you are going to realize that there are most likely hundreds if not thousands of different techniques you can make use of. I should point out that a few of the methods which you can find aren't going to be very successful in marketing and advertising for you. For those of you that are searching for something that always seems to work, you are going to want to start building an e-mail list. For people who don't understand the benefits of an e-mail list we will be covering that in this article.
The simple truth is that if you want to achieve success for the long-term with an internet business you should have an e-mail list. A few of you may be thinking that we are discussing joining safe lists to market but this isn't what we mean. We're talking about spending some time and effort needed into creating your very own e-mail list. For those of you who do not yet comprehend the importance of your own list, it's simply because you will have the ability to promote to the same people over and over again. This is really one of the main things which successful Internet marketers do to guarantee their success.
Another benefit of starting your own e-mail list is that you will be able to build a relationship with your subscribers. This is also an excellent way to build trust with your subscribers, since this is something which is extremely important if you want to generate income. When you're able to build this trust with your subscribers, you are going to discover that one of the benefits of this is that they will actually end up believing in what you promote. By this point you should recognize that when individuals trust what you are promoting, you are going to end up making more money. Reference phone number reverse lookup.
An additional reason it's so important to have your very own e-mail list is so you can promote multiple products. When you build a list of people that trust you you'll be able to promote different affiliate products to them each and every week and produce income. If someone bought a product that you advised through an e-mail, and they discovered a good value in this item, the likelihood that they might purchase something from you again are greatly improved. You will find it is not just Internet marketers that construct their own e-mail lists, as even major companies do this to create more sales.
Hopefully in this post I have explained to you the significance of building your own e-mail list and also the effect it can have on your web based business. If you've not yet begun developing your own e-mail list there's no time like now. The sooner you get started building this list the sooner you are going to have a list of customers which you can promote offers to. If you do not yet know how to begin building your own list you will have the ability to find a lot of information on the net. With regards to a software to deal with your list there's an internet program called Aweber which I would suggest.
Regardless of whether you will be promoting home remedies for acne or possibly reverse cell lookup all people serious about growing their targeted visitors needs to have a stable marketing and advertising foundation.

Till one day the volcano, which has been sleeping for three thousand years, woke up and almost destroyed the tribe. Poor people had nothing to do but the run to the other side of the island towards the ocean through the high mountains, impenetrable jungle and swamps in the hope to escape from this misfortune. Help the tribe, discover new lands because you are a leader and everything depends on you!

Spring 2013 Leadership Certificate Program
Managing your most valuable asset. Human capital is the most valuable asset in
any organization. Discussion on the importance of acknowledging staff as people
more than just "worker bees" and defining the difference of a manager versus a
leader is key to developing positive employee relations in any organization. To
be successful, you must be able to attract and retain qualified staff.
Participants will walk through the recruitment process with focus on creating
accurate job descriptions, interview questions which uncover applicant
competencies and behaviors, understanding the value of using personality
assessments, how to complete reference checks and determining when
credit/background checks and drug/alcohol screenings should be used. Discussion
on performance management will include; how to prepare and set the stage for
the formal evaluation process, how to coach and write-up poor performing
employees up to and including termination without fear of liability.
Participants will share in a review of common state and federal laws that
employers are required to follow.

Best Spatula to Flip An Egg?
- sivyaleah Jul 1, 2012 08:53 AM
Suddenly this morning, I realized none of my spatulas do a decent job of flipping an egg.
I have some really good ones. A great silicone flexible one that seems to be rather all purpose that is perfect for burgers and most other foods. A nice stiff silicone spatula for fish that hasn't broken a piece yet. Stainless ones which I don't use as much anymore, but do a great job when I'm not using non-stick pans.
But, as I went to make over easy eggs this morning for English Muffin sandwiches, I ran into a problem. Was cooking them in a medium cast iron pan, using the flexi spatula that I've used dozens of times before, but, maybe not for flipping an egg that I remember - I don't make over easy eggs all that frequently.
First one went over ok, but the second, slid off, went overboard, down the side of the pan, all over my stove top, and down into the grate and oops, past the pan, and so forth. Had to wind up cleaning the entire stove top and beyond to clean up the mess (it's a professional stove, open burners - was a mess).
Anyway - it occurred to me that this spatula was not stiff enough to handle the job at all. The fish one, was too stiff and thick at the front to turn the egg (I tried). The metal one - was too large for the pan with two eggs in it. I think I would have potentially ruined the first egg in the process. Of course, I could use a larger pan, but realized that after the fact.
Anyway - my point it - certainly there has to be a spatula which specifically works for flipping eggs, or isn't there? It seems there are so many out there now which have dedicated jobs. Or is there an all purpose one which I'm missing that I need to incorporate into my tool box?
I'm not particular as far as brand/material/price. I just want it to be able to get the egg up and over without losing it!
Please don't suggest flipping in the pan. I have problems with my wrists, and while I can manage to do this with vegetables and meats/seafood pretty well; an egg is a bit much for me to manage (especially when using a cast iron pan).
I like Lamson. I have one that is about two and a half inches squared, therefore small enough to maneuver in most pans. It has a good sharp edge, a key feature for getting under an egg. When I cooked short order and had a large griddle, I loved the large Dexter. You could flip multiple eggs at once, but there's no way it would work in a 10" or 8" pan. It needs to be small enough that you can get it barely above horizontal inside the pan.
re: tim irvine
The Lamson looks pretty good!
What about the thin egg spatula? Not the plastic one, but the thin metal one.
I have a Dexter-Russell turner which is not super thin, but has an "edge". As such, it can slide under an egg.
That being said, it is not one of the thin spatula I was talking about.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Great link, thanks for that. More to think about!
re: Sid Post
Thanks for posting the Oxo. I was thinking about its flexible and thin spatula too. As you have accurately pointed out, there is the silicone coated thin metal spatula for nonstick coated pan:
There is also a straight metal one as well:
re: Chemicalkinetics
Be sure you know which one you are buying. Some of the Oxo's are flexible and some are stiff. The pancake spatula won't flip a hamburger patty but, the smaller one will. I've never tried flipping an egg with the pancake spatula but, the smaller stiffer one works fine so, why would even try it the pancake spatula? ;-)
The only one I ever use is a round, plastic spatula, obviously shaped to flip eggs. I got it a million years ago and don't remember the specifics of where I got it, but it says Ecko on it. It's all plastic because I used to use Silverstone when I fried or scrambled eggs way back when. It works very very well, has never missed its mark.
I'm googling and all I can find is that its official name was "egg turner". This isn't it but will give you a general idea of the shape
re: sivyaleah
When this one breaks, I'm glad to know I can replace it at least, without haunting thrift shops!
re: rasputina
Actually - I had very little fat in the pan this time. We're doing Weight Watchers, and trying hard not to use too much. I had used a bit of cooking spray, and only a teaspoon of butter to give some real flavor to the eggs. Considering how I normally cook them, this was quite minimal.
The best silicone spatula according to Cook's Illustrated, the Matfer Bourgeat Pelton Spatula:
I own this spatula and it works perfectly for flipping fried eggs. It is a perfect balance between flexible and firm, it has a super thin edge for getting under delicate foods easily without damaging the food, and it works on any surface from cast iron to nonstick.
Thanks everyone - some really good suggestions were given. I'm going to check them all out. I really appreciate the help.
I think it kinda depends on your PAN, too?!? Have found that a spatula that will not damage a non-stick pan can take a bit more shuffling to get under eggs successfully. With a well-use cast iron pan, I can quickly slide a thin metal one under and flip with less problems.
re: tcamp
That looks like the metal one I have exactly. It was just a bit too large for the size pan I was using for just two eggs that day. Other than that, it's a rather good spatula for use in the cast iron.
Of course, it never occurred to me to try and flip both at once. I'm wondering if that one could have handled it. It is rather big.
I often wonder the same thing! I always seem to have issues with the spatula or pan when making fried eggs.
A lot of people seem to have luck with this one here for eggs due to the way it's built. http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/t...
Hi, sivyaleah:
I can't find a photo of the exact one I'm thinking about. I still have a couple of these at my other houses, but the one I like the best for eggs is a VERY thin (as in how did they get it that thin?) steel spatula, about 6" long x 3" wide, flat, no perforations, no bias to the edge (kinda like photo 1, except wider), offset handle riveted on (like photo 2), handle is a red wood piece sandwiched between two chromed steel rods (like photo 3). Can't remember the brand--maybe Ekco?.
These should be instantly recognizable to some CH because there were a kazillion made. If anyone can, I'd love to find a new source for these, because after 50 years of use, mine are metal-fatigued.
I am suffering now with an OXO in nylon... Every time I use it, I'm sure I'm being pranked, because while it is thin enough, when it heats up it gets noodly soft and droopy, and I don't think even Cialis will help.

Thanks for giving me today's biggest laugh :D
re: sivyaleah
"...when it heats up it gets noodly soft and droopy"
Get one that has the metal "backbone", no drooping then and no need for Cialis.

"....when it heats up it gets noodly soft and droopy, and I don't think even Cialis will help."
At least you can take a bath outside with it, tho.
I use my 60's, Ekco slotted angled spatula for eggs. It's the best for eggs as it's nice and thin, flexible, but not too flexible. I've got quite a few silicone, or what -ever -have - you, plasticky spatulas, but rarely use them.
You can see an Ekco spatula on the etsy link, but my particular spatula is a bit different, with mine having a thinner plain black handle.
I actually bought my Ekco spatula in the 60s, but garage sales are a great place to find old kitchen gadgets like mine, if you're at all interested.
re: Joyfull
I love garage sales. I found my egg cups at one - a set of Williams Sonoma ones that sort of have a Fiestaware color thing happening - 4 of them for a buck. Win!
re: ricepad
(sings) All covered with cheese.... Ahem, it is summer camp season
I'm partial to the vintage Flint Arrowhead spatula (the style with the shorter handle) myself, and have two of them so my husband and I wouldn't fight over who got to use it. They made them in the 1950s and possibly into the 1960s. You can find them on Etsy.

An Important Aspect of Caregiving
There is nothing more rewarding than spending quality time with a loved one. For both the caregiver and the care recipient, the opportunity to create lasting memories apart from the stress and responsibilities of daily caregiving can be especially rewarding.
With the arrival of Summer, a host of possibilities exist for you and your care recipient to enjoy some free or low-cost outdoor entertainment together. Here are some suggestions:
Free outdoor concerts. Many area parks have free concerts throughout the week as well as on weekends.
The Saint Louis Zoo. Ours is not only one of the best zoos in the country, but it is also free! Wheelchairs are available for those who may have a difficult time getting around.
Forest Park: Visit the History Museum, Art Museum or Science Center, which all offer free admission. Or just enjoy a picnic under a shady tree.
Farmer's Markets: Enjoy the festive atmosphere and the fresh fruits and vegetables grown locally. Many markets have live music and special activities on weekends.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Seniors enjoy a low $3 admission everyday, but all area residents may visit for free on Wednesdays and Saturdays before noon. Therapeutic horticultural classes for seniors are also offered for $7.00.
Outdoor Theater: The Shakespeare Festival St. Louis will be performing Hamlet for free in Forest Park. Free seats are also available at every Muny performance. Both venues are wheelchair accessible and provide assistance for people who are blind or deaf.
