I've Got You Under My Skin
By Mary Higgins Clark, Simon and Schuster
Clark has written a curious hybrid of old-style murder mystery and contemporary thriller. The results are uneven, implausible, and ultimately predictable. But it's still engaging, if only as an exercise in guesswork. Twenty years ago, after a graduation party for four young women, wealthy socialite Betsy Powell was smothered in her bed. The crime was never solved. Now TV producer Laurie Moran brings back all the suspects for a reality show re-enactment. As it turns out, everyone had a reason to despise the victim, including her seemingly devoted husband and the four friends. Meanwhile, Laurie battles an unknown predator who killed her husband and has threatened her and her son. The plot defies belief at every turn, and the Agatha Christie-style ending is patently ridiculous. But it's entertaining nonsense and passable beach fare.

At beach writer's retreat, authors and agents spill the secrets of great writing – and how to sell it
"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter, open a vein, and bleed."
That quote has been attributed to everyone from Ernest Hemingway to philosopher Frederick Nietzsche to sports columnist Red Smith. No matter who said it, most writers would agree that writing can be a difficult pursuit, marked by isolation, self-doubt, and lots of rejection.
While the rewards can be great – J.K. Rowling, once a struggling single mom, is now wealthier than the Queen of England – the odds of becoming rich and famous in this profession are rare. Yet writers will write, despite writer's cramp, writer's block, a notoriously fickle creative muse, and other occupational hazards.
Small but plentiful striper a good sign for fishing
Written by Heather Holtzapfel James Thursday, May 08, 2014 01:55 pm
Since our last fishing report which came out Easter weekend, the striper action has really picked up, and the flounder are showing a strong presence, although the season for them doesn't open until May 23.
Tom Christ of Brennan Marine in Somers Point reported that anglers are hitting the inshore reefs and wrecks because of the warmer water temperatures. He said he has had reports of smallish stripers being caught around the bridges on clams and bloodworms. Anglers have told him that they have had luck casting plugs to the sod banks and slowly retrieving them. Most of this kind of fishing has been done at night with very good results.
Perch can still be had up the rivers using bloodworms, and apparently nice catches can still be had, Christ said.

Cinemania: Evil unfolds with unnerving tension in 'Oculus'
Written by Joe Bell Wednesday, April 23, 2014 03:26 pm
It's rare these days to see a truly interesting horror film. They're cheap to produce, aren't reliant on star power, and have a built-in audience of fans who occasionally revel in their terribleness.
Because the genre in general has become fairly stale, it's easy for studios to put out paint-by-numbers horror flicks filled with gore and reliable scares and expect to make their money back.

Keep Quiet
by Lisa Scottoline, St. Martin's Press
In a misguided attempt to bond with his son, Jake Buckman makes a snap decision that changes his whole life. By letting 16-year-old Ryan drive his car, Jake sets in motion a series of disasters, deceptions and cover-ups that threaten everything he loves: his family, his work, even his freedom. Scottoline's latest is a wild, thrill-packed ride that never loses its breakneck momentum. Just when you think you know where it's going, "Keep Quiet" takes another startling turn. This is a real page-turner – compulsively readable, and mesmerizing from first page to last.

There were some exceptional waves over the winter
It's not nearly as bad as you might think, says Colin Devine of trudging through the snow to hit some icy waves.
Winter is the best time for surfing on the Jersey Cape, generally. It's when the big overhead rollers come in, and only dedicated surfers dare the water. For some reason, the very best waves often coincide with snowstorms. This year, as the drifts piled up and kids in shore towns searched for somewhere to sled, many surfers were piling on the neoprene and paddling for the outside.

Cinemania: Weighty 'Gravity' is a breathtaking and stunning film
Written by Joe Bell Friday, October 11, 2013 11:31 am
"Gravity" is an amazing, visually stunning film – truly an experience to behold. This triumph of special effects and cinematography transports viewers emotionally and mentally, so see it in 3-D and Imax if you can, and prepare to be taken away. While the actual themes are light, the movie is so well constructed and executed that it ranks up there as one of the most astonishing films of the past few years.

Warm temperatures, calm seas yield variety of fish
Written by Heather Holtzapfel James Wednesday, October 09, 2013 07:48 pm
As I wrap up another season for this fishing column, there is still a lot of action to be had on the water – more for this time of year than usual.
Anglers have enjoyed a beautiful September and early October with calm seas, and a variety of fish are being caught including black sea bass, tautog, red and black drum, stripers, skipjacks and even flounder, which must be released, as the season has ended.

Cinemania> It's love vs. porn in JGL directorial debut 'Don Jon'
Written by Joe Bell Friday, October 04, 2013 11:59 am
In the technology- and image-obsessed world we live in, we've lost what it means to be truly intimate. That's the stance the movie "Don Jon" takes. This hilarious and subversive romantic comedy centers on an aggressively dumb Lothario who learns that real people are much more substantial than his self-obsessed view of the world.

The injured service members were joined by 30 volunteer guides for a day of kayak fishing hosted by The Kayak Fishing Store, 501 Ocean Drive in North Wildwood.
One Kook's Safari > Waves wait for no one
Written by Bill Barlow Friday, October 04, 2013 06:43 am
I'd like to think we are beyond a lot of the petty stereotypes of surfers as slackers and beach bums, more concerned with the waves than with the more conventional pursuits of career, family and shiny new gadgets.
There are far too many surfing doctors, lawyers and other grownup professional types for that old trope to hold up any longer. There are surfer entrepreneurs in every shore town, and I know at least one surfing minister.
But still …
It's time to feed the birds

Online Backup
Protect your office – backup your PC!
You may only touch your computer once a day, or you may spend all day working from it, it doesn't really matter, backing up your PC is like brushing your teeth, you should do it regularly.
Most people site, 'I don't understand how to do it', or 'I just don't get around to doing it', but when your hard drive fails, all your work files, emails, contacts, invoices, financial records, most of it could be gone forever. IT professionals can save some or maybe all of your data, but why take that risk with your business.
Protecting your information should be as important to you as protecting your PC from viruses. I bet you have virus protection on your PC, but did you know that you are only 1% likely to lose files directly as a result of a virus attack. You are 13% likely to suffer a hard drive failure (regardless of whether the PC is new or not).
IT companies have spent years developing software and services to make it easier for you to backup your PC, and the reality is you make this task as easy or as complicated as you want it to be. Most important, however is that its done, regularly!
Most people just want IT to work, so I have had a look at some of the very automated options that you can use to back-up your PC as well as some of the more manual ones.
Extra Hard Drives
Lots of people buy an external hard drive. In addition to your back-ups it can also be used for when your internal drive gets full. Hard drives vary in size, and today they are pretty cheap.
What you can do with your external hard drive is make a direct copy of your entire C:/, D:/Drive or other drives. This includes all files and applications. So if your hard drive fails, you can switch across and keep working (provided that your PC still works). You can connect your external drive via USB 2.0 or FireWire (type of cable for transmitting data).
Another option, is to add another internal hard drive. This sounds complicated, and if you are not into opening up your PC, you might want to avoid it or visit your IT Professional to help you out. As with the external hard drive, you can use your internal drive to create a direct copy. This can be automated using software if you know what you are doing, but it can be tricky.
External drives that hold more than 250GB of data are now smaller than most diaries and are easy to move around. This means that if you need to take your drive with you to visit a client or another work site, you just unplug it and go.
To automate the process of backing up (remember we are trying to keep it easy), you should look out for software to help you. Some external drives come with inbuilt software which enables you to schedule automatic updates. If you are on Windows XP or Vista, both of these operating systems come with built in backup utilities. MAC's also come with their equivalents. Be sure to ask about software if you decide to buy an external drive.
There are lots of good brands out there such as Seagate, Maxtor and Iomega. Some of these even come with a button that you press to begin your update (still requires you to remember to do this), others can be scheduled to happen every day etc. Set them up once and it all happens for you. You should however check regularly to see if it is working right.
If your home office has more than 1 PC and they are networked, you might want to consider backing them up with a network-attached-storage (NAS) device.
Manual Backups – CD/DVDs & USB Sticks
Using CDs or DVDs is another option that enables you to only backup the most important files and folders. The biggest limitation with the CD/DVD option is space, discs have much less available storage compared to an external drive. CDs hold approx 650MB and DVDs hold 4.7GB. If you go for a double-layer DVD, you could get 8.5GB.
There are various pro's and con's regarding CD/DVDs.
• Every new PC that is sold has a CD/DVD burner. Even if it doesn't you can buy one (they are pretty cheap these days).
• CD/DVDs can be read by any PC.
• CD/DVDs are also pretty inexpensive when purchased in bulk.
• Depending on how you store them, they can also last a while. Obviously some brands are better than others.
• Consider using rewritable discs to save space and money.
• Backing up with CD/DVDs is a totally manual process. It is therefore very time consuming.
• You need to have storage for all of the CD/DVDs
• If the CD/DVD is damaged, so is your data.
• You will need another solution for larger files.
To help you with the burning, you will also need to consider software. Once again there are various applications that you can take a look at and they are relatively inexpensive (under $50). They will support DVD+ and DVD- (including double-layer), as well as DVD-RAM. If you are going to invest in rewritable discs, be sure to purchase software that will enable you to erase existing files. Some software also enables you to encrypt files for some added security.
In summary, the manual process is ideal for some of those key files that you just can't lose. It isn't ideal for files/data that is constantly changing.
Flash Drives/USB Sticks
Most people nowadays have one of these (or several). Their capacity is also pretty good these days, ranging up to 32GB.
They perform in a similar way to CD/DVDs. Backing up with them is usually as simple as using Windows Explorer or MAC OS X to drag and drop files into them.
They are ideally suited for files such as presentations or contacts that you need to carry around with you. I would be careful not to place sensitive files within them as they are easy to lose (or be stolen).
Some USB sticks also come with security (password) that provides some protection. There are also versions that support the U3 platform. U3 enables you to carry your software on the same flash drive that carries your files. You can plug it into any PC and work using the application. Most importantly when you unplug it, it leaves no personal data behind.
Going offsite
It sounds like a service reserved for big business but anyone can benefit from an online solution, and with more and more people turning to broadband, it will be the next big thing for the home or office.
The key benefit comes down to simplicity and convenience. In some cases, you could begin your protection literally within minutes. With online solutions you don't need to purchase nor install any hardware. All you need to do is install an application that you download from the web and the backup process can start immediately.
The added convenience of online solutions is that you can in some cases access your data from any PC that connects to the internet.
The biggest bonus with this option is that it can be a "set and forget" solution. In addition, because your data is stored offsite on a remote server, not in your home, even if your PC was lost/stolen or your house burnt down you data is never lost. You can also downloaded your data to a new PC within minutes.
You might ask, what if the datacentre it was held at was attacked or burnt down? Online services are offered by some very large IT corporations who invest millions into these centres and the security surrounding them. Stick to one of the bigger brands if you feel a little unsure.
Your data is protected at the point of leaving your PC and whilst it is safely stored offsite. The same encryption standards used by banks are used by companies offering these services.
There are also several services available today that offer you unlimited back-up for a set annual fee. This can be very cost effective.
One thing to consider with online services is that your initial backup could be large and take some time as it needs to travel over the internet. This could result in you hitting and passing your monthly download/upload quota. (Both Telstra and Optus include uploads in your monthly access quota.) In this case, your internet service provider would throttle (reduce) your bandwidth speed to a maximum of 54kbps, alternatively, you could be charged for any excesses.
This is most likely to happen during the initial upload. If you are worried about this, you might want to consider initially only backing your key files, and completing the rest over a few months so as to minimise any extra costs.
Online services weren't designed to create a full copy of your PC's drives, eg operating system files (MS Windows XP/Vista) and other applications. They will backup what is produced by these applications eg emails, contacts invoices, reports, spreadsheets etc. In most cases you will have the CDs for the application and can reinstall them.
Note that it can also be difficult to do a full backup of some applications as they can make entries in various directories within your PC.
Carbonite was one of the early providers of online backup services. They were first to introduce unlimited backup for a set monthly fee. It backs up your files behind the scenes. Once installed it will automatically back up all the data on your hard drive. You can also manually specify which folders, subfolders, and files you want to store. As long as your computer is on and connected to the internet, Carbonite continuously monitors and backs up your data. Whenever you create a new file or modify an existing one, Carbonite records the changes.
To give you added confidence that it is backing up, it labels each file (within your Office Explorer) with a coloured dot. A green dot indicates that the item has been backed up, while yellow means that a backup is in progress. No dot means you haven't selected the file for backup. Your files are encrypted and stored securely on remote servers. If something goes wrong and you need to restore, you just launch the program and it guides you through the process. It is actually a very useful service if you purchase a new machine and want to move all the files from one to the other. Best of all is its price, $6 per month for a 12 month subscription. A free 30 day trial is available at www.carbonite.com.au
A similar service is Mozy. Just like Carbonite, once the software is installed you select the files you want to back up and off it goes. Mozy also offers a free version that gives you 2GB of storage capacity, which is great if you are only wishing to backup small files. Their standard service is US$4.95 a month. Other benefits, is that additional assistance can be given for large files eg > 3GB and for Microsoft Outlook files. The service also allows you to access your files from any computer over the internet. www.mozy.com
There are also other variations of Carbonite and Mozy (not many other offer unlimited backup for a flat monthly fee). Some alternatives offer greater flexibility when it comes to administering when and how your files are uploaded and restored. Some also enable you to share files with other users. Consider IBackup, IDrive-E Online Backup, and Xdrive.

The Kansas City Chiefs are out in full force at the 2014 Senior Bowl and John Dorsey is covering all of his bases. While just about everyone from national draft pundits like Mike Mayock and Gil Brandt to our own AA talking heads agree that the Chiefs biggest needs are at wide receiver and safety, that's not going to stop general manager John Dorsey from observing, scouting and "racking and stacking" all of the talent on display at the annual college "all-star" game.
The tweets have been rolling in hot and heavy today from all over the "Twitterverse." Here are just a couple:
#Chiefs GM John Dorsey here in Mobile at the South practice watching OL-DL 1v1s.
— Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) January 20, 2014
Dorsey now watching the 1v1 DB-WR matchups. Dude is covering his bases.
— Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) January 20, 2014
I'm sure, as Terez put it, Dorsey is indeed covering his bases. This morning in the Fix, I linked to an article from Mr. Paylor at the Kansas City Star where he said the Chiefs were interested in pass rushers. Now he's looking at offensive line and defensive line and everything in between.
I'll caution every Addict that the home stretch of the scouting process is just getting underway, so don't put too much stock in anything at this point. I'm sure that Dorsey knows, just like the rest of us, what the Chiefs need. Now, we'll just have to see what falls to the Chiefs this year with the 23rd pick.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
5 Foods to Boost Your Health
What if you could make a conscious effort to add five healthy foods to your plate and make an improvement in your longevity?
The key, say some researchers, is to outsmart your body, which, as you age, is busy half-forming or damaging your cells, rather than creating healthy new cells resistant to cancer, rapid aging, and other ills. These cells are damaged by "free radicals," a very reactive and unstable atom or groups of atoms with an odd, unpaired number of electrons. When free radicals bang into DNA in your cells, they can damage it, leading to bad cell behavior such as cancer.
What can you do? Your body already has a defense system of antioxidants, chemicals that can interrupt the damaging reactions of the free radicals. Although antioxidants can also be found in our diets, examples include vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Sometimes, scientists also include selenium in this mix.
But do vitamins definitively lower cancer or heart disease rates? The studies thus far are not conclusive. Some findings do show that people who eat many fruits and veggies, which contain high amounts of these naturally antioxidants compounds, have lower cancer rates -- but maybe they are doing other healthful things.
However, there is also some evidence indicating that taking vitamin supplements, especially taking high dosages of these so-called antioxidants, can result in more free radical damage.
So judgment and moderation are vital. Moderation, however, may mean greens for dinner or a nice salad with olive oil dressing or glass of wine each day. How hard is that?
Healthy Food No. 1: Leafy greens
According to Audrey Cross, PhD, professor of public health at Columbia University in New York City, and author of the nation's first dietary guide under President Jimmy Carter, some people avoid the heaped-up greenery section of the produce aisle because they don't know how to prepare the foliage there.
Others have never even considered grazing in these verdant fields. Cross tells of giving a talk at her daughter's first grade class. Three of the youngsters had never eaten lettuce of any type!
The most nutritious and fiber-filled greens, Cross tells WebMD, include kale (ranked highest in antioxidants in a Human Nutrition Research Center study), mustard greens, broccoli rabe, bok choy, Swiss chard, and of course, good old broccoli and spinach (iceberg lettuce, on the other hand, contains almost no nutrients and precious little fiber, Cross says).
The dark leafies are even prewashed now in some cases, adds Tanya M. Horacek, PhD, RD, associate professor at Syracuse University, making them easier to use.
Leafy greens, which run the gamut from deep green and smooth-leafed, to crinkled and lacy, can be prepared many ways, Cross says:
- Saute some onion or garlic in butter or canola oil and wilt the chopped greens in the sauce until softened. This is a great side dish. Or you can combine the sauce with bacon chips (made of soy) for a wilted salad (turnip greens are tougher, she warns, plan to cook rather than wilt those).
- Try some crispy, flavorful leaf veggies on your next sandwich, in lieu of the rusty-looking iceberg. Cross says she made a sandwich with meatloaf and cooked kale and although her husband looked skeptical, he ate it.
- Prepare your own mesclun, the pricy field greens mix so beloved of French bistros, by combining romaine, some soft Boston lettuce, and a small amount of arugula, and lace it with olive oil vinaigrette.
Greens can be a little bitter -- it's the all-important phytochemicals (plant chemicals) -- so don't be afraid to use some dressing.

We are proud to announce our sponsorship of the upcoming Hammers of Misfortune/The Gates of Slumber East Coast/Midwest jaunt! The dates include a kick-off show in Chicago before looping to Saint Vitus for a July 23rd date. Tickets are on sale and support is still TBA.
The Hammers of Misfortune released their Metal Blade debut 17th Street last year. The band features John Cobbett and Sigrid Sheie, who are also members of the previously mentioned West Coast "supergroup" with Mike Scheidt (Yob, and solo artist) and Aesop Dekker (Agalloch, who is coming soon).
The Gates of Slumber recently played NYC supporting Church of Misery (pictures).

Portland doom trio Yob were kind enough to swing through NYC on their way to Maryland Deathfest, playing The Bell House on May 23. They were joined by Richmond's Cough, also MDF-bound with both playing the doom-centric Sunday (5/27) lineup (with Electric Wizard). More pictures from Bell House are below.
Yob's Mike Scheidt performed a solo set to open the Bell House show, drawing material from his solo LP on Thrill Jockey and you can check out pictures from his performance below as well.

Maryland Deathfest Day 4: Saint Vitus, Mortuary Drape, Bethlehem, Rwake, Church of Misery, Disma and more
by BBG
Saint Vitus
Arguably the centerpiece of the entire Maryland Deathfest lineup was the return of the UK doom juggernaut Electric Wizard (pictures HERE), so suffice it to say that a large portion of the Sunday (on 5/28) roster leaned in that direction. Doom legends Saint Vitus headlined the second stage that night, while the bluesy Church of Misery, glacially-paced Cough, zen-like Yob and eclectic Rwake all represented for the genre.
The rest of the day fell all over the map, from speedy straight-edge to grind, black metal to crust, and death metal of the technical and primitive sorts. The odd-experimentalism of Bethlehem caught my ear the most, but sets from the always entertaining Suffocation, Disma, Pentagram (black/thrash from Chile), Ulcerate, Mortuary Drape and Agents of Abhorrence were similarly fun. I unfortunately arrived too late to catch Backslider or Coke Bust. Demonical's old school Swedish death metal sounded excellent but didn't put on much of a live show and my flirtation with Morgoth was interrupted in favor of Rwake's full set.
More pictures from the final day at Maryland Deathfest is below. If you missed it, check out pictures from day 1 HERE (and Rorschach HERE), day 2 HERE and day 3 HERE.

Agalloch at Inferno 2012 (more by BBG)
Agalloch will be on the East Coast this month for Maryland Deathfest, and will be back to the East Coast for more shows very soon. The black-metal tinged crew will hit the road for a few confirmed dates that seem to be part of a burgeoning tour, including a date in NYC with Taurus and Musk Ox at Music Hall of Williamsburg on July 26th. Tickets are currently on AMEX presale and go on regular sale on Friday (5/18) at noon. All scheduled dates are listed below.
Agalloch recently completed recording their new EP Faustian Echoes with Billy Anderson. The new EP has no release date (or releasee) officially announced, but we'll let you know when that changes. Until then, you can order your copy of The Demonstration Archive 1996-1998 on 3LP boxset to catch up on the older material. Get yours via Eisenwald.
In other news, Aesop Dekker of Agalloch (Worm Ouroboros, ex-Ludicra, etc) will team with Mike Scheidt (YOB), Sigrid Sheie (Hammers of Misfortune, Amber Asylum), and John Cobbett (Hammers of Misfortune, ex-Ludicra) for a new band recording this fall. Details of this project are currently hazy, but we'll keep you informed. In the meantime, catch Yob on Wednesday at Bell House (5/23) with a solo Mike Scheidt and Cough. Tickets are still available. Yob will also be playing Maryland Deathfest.
Check out a recent live video of Agalloch in action along with a listing of all tour dates below.

Mike Scheidt solo at Empty Bottle in Chicago (more by Carmelo Espanola)
Mike Scheidt (of YOB) just may surprise you with "In Your Light" from his previously discussed solo debut Stay Awake due on May 15th via Thrill Jockey. Look for the Yob frontman to celebrate the tunes in NYC when he joins Richmond doomers Cough as support for his own band at The Bell House on May 23rd. Tickets are still available.
Yob, who just played Roadburn 2012, is also scheduled to hit Maryland Deathfest this year.
Cough will embark on a string of dates with Dragged into Sunlight following their appearance at Maryland Deathfest 2012. After those dates come to a close, look for DiS to hook up with Wolvhammer for a string of shows including Saint Vitus on 6/14 with The Year is One (tickets).
All tour dates and that stream is below.

Wolvhammer covers The Cure for DTV (Direct To Video) soundtrack (listen); Graf Orlock prepare "Los Angeles"
by BBG
DTV (Direct to Video) packaging for the novel and the disc
Soundtracks were all the rage in the 90s. Many of them left much to be desired, but a select few left an indelible mark on my young mind... namely records like the Judgement Night soundtrack ("Just Another Victim!"), Singles, and The Crow. So when I heard that bulldozing Motorhead-as-black-metal quartet Wolvhammer had taken on "Burn" by The Cure from The Crow soundtrack, I was more than intrigued. Stream "Burn" below; it's definitely an unexpected melodic turn from such a piledriving metallic workhorse.
"Burn" is going from one soundtrack to another. Wolvhammer's version is for the forthcoming soundtrack to he Andrew Bonazelli novel DTV (Direct to Video) which surfaces via Handshake Inc next week (3/30):
The book is a super-cool fusion of literary prowess and action-movie bravado, and though fully aware of the inherent, unintentional comedy found in the genre, Bonazelli has avoided the tongue-in-cheek route, instead crafting a story that celebrates the machismo, animal magnetism and culture of American action movies from the '80s and '90s. The novel itself is a brilliantly fun and poignant read, and could do for action movies what the nouvelle vague did for Hitchcock and Orson Welles.Wolvhammer joins names like Total Fucking Destruction, The Atlas Moth, Cretin, Liberteer's Matthew Widener, The Austerity Program, members of Zombi, Early Graves and more to contribute everything from new tracks to "covers of music from such films as Robocop, Double Impact, The Running Man and Out for Justice". Sounds about as amazing as the packaging, which looks like a VHS tape (above).
Speaking of bad film and fun bands, Graf Orlock (who are also on DTV) ALSO have a new release in Los Angeles which comes with three different covers inspired by the film Heat.
There are 600 copies of this bastard, broken down into three different covers. The covers will have actual me-shot bullets holes in them, so technically, each is a 1/1 because even though i have ridiculously accurate and tight firing patterns, no two are the same. For you wieners trolling discogs, they are all black vinyl.Order your "exclusive copy" at Vitriol.
DTV contributors Wolvhammer and The Atlas Moth will be in LA on March 31st to play a Scion label showcase along with Yob, Loss and Pallbearer. Entry is FREE with RSVP. Yob will be in NYC in May, as will Loss/Pallbearer.
Listen to both versions of "Burn" below...

Mike of Yob playing solo at Empty Bottle in Chicago (more by Carmelo Espanola)
After a string of dates with Tool teased at an NYC return, Yob have officially announced their return to the five boroughs with a show at The Bell House on May 23rd. Tickets are on sale. No word on the support for the bill, which is a one-off prior to their appearance to Maryland Deathfest, but we'll keep you up to date.
Also no word on if Mike Sheidt of Yob will do a solo set before plugging in with the doom trio at Bell House. As discussed, Sheidt is welcoming his new LP Stay Awake via Thrill Jockey later this year. Detals are forthcoming, but in the meantime you can catch Mike Sheidt on Apr 19th in Portland, OR at Mississippi Studios.

Unearthly Trance at Saint Vitus (more by Greg Cristman)
Unearthly Trance shows are few and far between nowadays, but the band will awaken from their live slumber to play Acheron on March 1st as part of a bill that includes The Communion, Water Torture, and Syphilitic Lust. $8 gets you in the door. Check out the flyer below.
Horseback has completed their new LP Half Blood due via Relapse this Spring. Details are limited so far, but Roadburn has more details about the record and its "amalgamation of drone, doom, black-metal, psychedelia, post-rock, noise, and ambience recorded with a wide array of instruments including guitar, bass, drums, keys, piano, bells, contact mics, field recordings, drum programming, noise and various signal processors." Yep, sounds like a Horseback record!
Check out a new Noisear track from their upcoming three-way split with Antigama and The Kill above. The track features vocals by Mitchell Luna of ex-Maruta fame.
Perdition will join Varix, Murderer and Sad Boys at Heaven Street Records TONIGHT (2/3). Door entry will cost you zilch and beers will cost you a dollar. Sounds like a winning night of furious, crusty punk to me.
Drainland will share a split 7" with Crows due on Suburban Mayhem Records. Stream the material from that release below.
Slices are preparing their new LP Still Cruising for Iron Lung Records. Look for it in the coming weeks and stream "Greensleeves" from the LP below.
One interesting and important footnote to the upcoming Behold the Arctopus show at Saint Vitus on Feb 24th... Support will come from Mindless Blasting and Geryon, two bands which feature Mick Barr with Nondor Nevai and Nick McMaster with Lev Weinstein respectively. Basically, a night of Krallice-related projects... should be interesting. Tickets are on sale.
Like Flipper, a reunited Sleepytime Trio are playing a show at SXSW in Austin this year.
No NYC dates, but Ringworm, Cancer Bats & Primitive are touring from Ohio to SXSW and then back to Ohio together. OFF! were also recently announced on the SXSW lineup.
Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost tickets went on sale earlier today.
Saturday's Ceremony, Pissed Jeans, The Rival Mob, Hoax, Kim Phuc, Gods and Queens show @ Le Poisson Rouge is now sold out.
Converge announced a tour.

Monarch at Union Pool (more by Greg Cristman)
Monarch are preparing to release their new LP Omens via At A Loss Recordings. The new LP was recorded in Japan in February 2011, Australia, in March 2011, Montreal in April 2011, and finailzed by Sanford Parker in Chicago at Engine Studios. So far no album release date, but you can view an album teaser below.
In related news, it is thus far unclear as to whether Monarch drummer Rob Shaffer (also of Dark Castle) will be on the road with Yob this time around, but regardless, you can catch Yob on an upcoming tour that includes a show with Tool at Izod Center on February 1st. Tickets are still available for that NJ gig.

Midnight at Rites of Darkness (more by BBG)
2011 was a year that I spent delving deep into record bins, in the pit at shows, and searching for the most brutal of the brutal at festivals across the country including Maryland Deathfest, Chaos in Tejas, Rites of Darkness, SXSW, the A389 Anniversary show, California Discord Fest, and many others. It was also a year when I revisited my hardcore roots, and went further down the rabbit hole with DIY shows and independent records.
2011's choices for best of the year were tougher than I could have imagined, as opposed to my clear cut 2010 choice for favorite album of the year. That said, favorite records are about playability, and these are the LPs that wore out my needle and earned the most plays on my digital device (note: I made sure to remove a record that I was directly involved in because that would clearly be near the top of the list). I hope you enjoyed these records as much as I did in 2011 and if not, please share what you enjoyed below. I already can't wait for 2012.
My favorite records and shows of 2011 are below.

Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
On Sunday 27th May 2012 Alexandra Palace will host the first show in 13 years from Cincinnati's rock legends THE AFGHAN WHIGS. Formed in 1986, the bands career from then until 2001 saw them release six acclaimed albums highlighted by the classic Gentlemen LP in 1993. Fusing classic rock with grunge-era distortion and a heavy soul influence, Afghan Whigs were one of the most renowned live bands of their time and this long awaited reformation will no doubt be a very special event.The second year of ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park will take place September 21st-23rd...
ATP are also pleased to confirm their return to Asbury Park, New Jersey USA where they will follow last year's debut in that city with a 2012 I'll Be Your Mirror event, the Saturday night of which will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs and curated by the Whigs' frontman Greg Dulli.
As you can see in the poster, tickets will go on sale in January. More of the lineup will also be announced at that time.
All Tomorrow's Parties' I'll Be Your Mirror UK, which just lost Guided By Voices, will host The Afghan Whigs and has moved further into the "unreal" category with additions of Wolves In The Throne Room, Yob, Dirty Three, Floor, Chavez, Balam Acab, The Oh Sees, Yuck, Archers of Loaf, Demdike Stare, and Siskiyou to appearances from Sleep, Melvins, Mogwai, Codeine and Mudhoney.
Full ATP I'll Be Your Mirror UK lineup is below.

Seven Sisters of Sleep at A389 2011 (more by BBG)
Seven Sisters of Sleep (mems Tafkata) are two for two with releases in 2011, dropping both their excellent debut and their similarly crushing split with Children of God this year. Get both at A389. Though no full East Coast trek has been planned, Seven Sisters of Sleep will join the great All Pigs Must Die, labelmates Low Places, and NYC's Grudges for an NYC date at Acheron on 1/20, just a few days after the always awesome A389 Anniversary show at Sonar in Baltimore with Eyehategod, Gehenna, and many others.
All Pigs Must Die was recently given an "honorable mention" in Pitchfork's top metal of 2011 list (though no shout out for Seven Sisters of Sleep). Check out the full list, along with some streaming APMD material and a few videos below...

Voivod at Maryland Death Fest (more by BBG)
We already knew that Voivod was in charge of curating part of the program, but the ante has been upped with the announcement that the influential Canadian band will play all of their seminal Dimension Hatross LP and that they've invited Yob to play the fest! What's more, Yob will play two complete albums in two different sets at Roadburn 2012, including all of Catharsis and all of The Unreal Never Lived.

You might have missed it, but Boston Strangler released an incredible demo with the ultra-limited Outcast cassette last year. The band, which is primarily the brainchild of vocalist Ban Reilly (also of the incredible Scapegoat) (get their latest now... highly reccomended), has enlisted members of Mind Eraser, Rival Mob, Social Circkle, and a few notable others to churn out some incredible early 80s-style negative hardcore. The band plays a rare show at Acheron on September 17th with Beware (mems of Mother of Mercy). check out some live video below.
The show cancellation count keeps growing. The previously discussed cancellations of shows at the Acheron (including Victims/Defeatist on Sunday), is joined by the latest victim of Irene, Vreid, Kampfar, Necronomicon, and Grafvolluth at Europa. As more shows cancel, we'll keep you posted.
Corrupted have released their previously discussed new LP, Garten Der Unbewusstheit. Look for it at your favorite distro like Aquarius or Crucial Blast.
Unsane is working on new music.
Yob is releasing Live at Roadburn 2010 via Burning World Records on CD/DVD on September 1st with vinyl to follow. Preorder it now. For those curious about the video, stream it in its entirety below.

Batillus @ Le Poisson Rouge
It's a a triple threat of events at Saint Vitus this weekend. Things kicks off Friday (7/22) with Hull/A Generation of Vipers/Marching Teeth, continue with Batillus/Mutilation Rites/Phantom Glue on Saturday and end with Dreams Were Made for Mortals, a collective art show on Sunday (7/24).
The art show features the work of Karlynn Holland (responsible for art that has appeared on LPs by Krallice, Dysrhythmia, many others) among many others. Karlyn describes it like this:
"My dreams, frequently, are broadcast across neural pathways in vibrant color. They are so vivid, the dreams feel more real than my waking life. It haunts me. Life feels like the dream, a series of passing moments. As I rise from paralysis, they evaporate from memory. How could something so real fade so quickly? I often find myself asking this question. Exploring the dawn hours of your fervent mind, please choose or create work that exposes our perishable nature and echoes human frailness so often deified by gods of rock and roll."The one day show will kick off at 4PM and last until the wee hours, featuring a revolving group of DJs including yours truly. Samantha Marble, Brian Montouri, Justina Villanueva, and Angela Nacol will also have work on display. Support local artists and try and make it out if you can.
Batillus is currently on tour with Mutilation Rites and will return back to NYC on Saturday. Their last show was at LPR with Yob & Dark Castle. The NY Times was there:
[Mike Scheidt of YOB] did several things at once, singing in grunts and high precise wails, working bits of melody and middle-register guitar cries into the music without breaking the flow of the chord riffs. But there was also a feeling of conscious restraint: he didn't actually solo, in the usual sense, until nearly the end of the show. His chord repetitions were composed, micro-arranged, and they pulled you down, down, down; Mr. Scheidt uses a baritone-guitar tuning on a standard guitar, a perfect fifth lower than usual. You feel this music a lot; it's body-centered, in its rhythm and its mass. -[New York Times]You already saw pictures from the show. Here is a second set. More of them with the Hull show poster below...

YOB (by Markus)
YOB and Dark Castle played Le Poisson Rouge last night (7/12) with help from local doom faves Batillus. The show, part of a larger tour for YOB/DC, featured Dark Castle skinsman Rob Shaffer behind the kit for the final two band's sets. Dark Castle's set focused primarily on newer material like "Seeing Through Time" from their current LP Surrender To All Life Beyond Form, but also closed with faves from their breakthrough Spirited Migration like "Awake in Sleep" and "Into The Past". YOB's set, which was a bit too bass-heavy in the mix for my liking (and yes I know their sound has tons of low-end), covered favorites like "Burning The Altar" and "Grasping Air" (with guest vocals from DC's Stevie Floyd") as well as new burners like "Prepare The Ground" and the title track to the new LP, ATMA.

Disma at Union Pool last year (more by BBG)
Save the date folks. August 6th will unleash the most holiest of lineups as part of a record release for Disma's brand new tower of destruction, Towards The Megalith (due via Profound Lore in July). Disma will celebrate their record release at Saint Vitus with the return of Coffinworm (!), an exclusive east coast appearance from Loss (who I recently interviewed), and the mega-destructive Oak from Baltimore (who killed it at MDF)! Ticketing information is forthcoming, but the show will be $15 and kick off at 8PM. More details as they come available. The show is one of a few scheduled for Coffinworm this summer, and one of only two East Coast dates so far.
Dark Castle at Scion Rock Fest (more by Adam Murray)
There are a few must-see shows this summer, and Yob/Dark Castle/Batillus (yep! thats right... Batillus just added) is definitely one of them. The trifecta of doom killers at Le Poisson Rouge on July 12th is one of the biggest doom shows of the year, as the Yob/Dark Castle tour checks into the tri-state area as part of a larger US tour that preceeds a European one. Tickets are still available.

Handling Cautions
Install the cash register in a location not subject to direct sunlight, unusual temperature
changes, high humidity, or splashing water.
Do not operate the cash register with wet hands. Water can cause internal component failure.
The cash register plugs into any standard wall outlet (120V AC ± 10%). Avoid connecting any
other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit since such connection could cause the
cash register to malfunction.
When cleaning the cash register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use volatile liquids, such as
benzine or thinner. Chemicals can discolor or damage the cabinet.
For protection against data loss, please install three new "AA" batteries before using the cash
register. However, never forget you must initialize the cash register before installation of
batteries; otherwise damage to memory contents or malfunctioning of the register will occur. You
can start operating it only after initializing it and then installing batteries.
For complete electrical disconnection, pull out the main plug.

Coaches always look forward to the time in the middle of summer when their players suit up in full pads and see who can endure the man-on-man collisions that define football.
Next year, coaches won't get that opportunity until just a few weeks before the season begins.
The main effect of Assembly Bill 2127, which California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law on Monday, is the restriction of full-contact practice to the preseason and regular season, and then for only two days a week. The law is the latest effort to reduce brain injuries caused by concussions.
West High coach Steve Anastasio said that means the three-day camp his team hosted from July 8 to 10 at Steve Lopez Stadium was the last of its kind. He said that the camp and others like it have traditionally been part of the summer workout schedule for high school teams, providing the first chance for coaches to see who can deliver — and who can take — a hit.
"We won't get to see our kids in full gear until August," Anastasio said. "It will set us back as far as seeing what our kids can do."
He added that the important thing was that all the teams followed the same rule: "If everyone is doing the same thing, it won't give anyone the upper hand."
Tracy High football coach Matt Shrout agreed that the ban on full-contact camps in the summer would be the biggest change. His team traditionally goes to a camp at St. Mary's College in Moraga in late June.
Shrout said the camps were a valuable experience for players, especially new players who had yet to be introduced to the rough nature of varsity football.
"(The new rule) may get kids hurt, because it won't give kids experience on how to make tackles or how to take a hit," he said.
Shrout expects to see summer football team camps continue, even if players aren't allowed to have full contact. He said that two days of full-contact practices a week during the season would still allow him and his coaches to prepare players for games.
"We don't hit on Thursdays anyway. Monday we'll go light, and Tuesday and Wednesday is when we'll do stuff," Shrout said. "We all understand that we can't beat up 16-, 17-, 18-year-old kids five days a week. We just don't do it."
Anastasio said that the twice-a-week provision wasn't much different from his typical practice schedule. During the season, he reserves Monday's practice for review of the previous Friday's game, including film, and Thursday's practice is when the team reviews its strategy for the next game.
The new law takes effect Jan. 1, so it will not affect the 2014 fall season. Sac-Joaquin Section spokesman Will DeBoard said that would give the section time to incorporate the state law into its own bylaws.
"What we'll have to do is define exactly what contact is," DeBoard said.
He said that "contact" could mean hits and blocks, practicing with pads, or any action that brings another player to the ground.
DeBoard said the SJS would look at what other states — 19 have banned off-season full-contact practices — have done to implement their laws.
