Courses Color page 2
Someone told me that the basis for the color theories used by Albers came from the writings of Goethe on color. I believe that Knopf published an obscure small book on the color theories of Goethe sometime during the 1960s.
The teachings of Albers have been vastly misunderstood. His color and drawing courses represent to me some of the most effective instruction in terms of student understanding and learning that I have ever encountered. At most American schools today, Albers is identified with the Bauhaus, and is viewed as someone from the distant past who is totally irrelevant to art and design.
Most critics of Albers and the Bauhaus base their opinions on Bauhaus imagery which is now dated. The Bauhaus was about philosophy, objectives, pedagogy and social values and not a particular imagery. The underlying qualities of the Bauhaus are as relevant today as they were during the first decades of the twentieth century. If the Bauhaus were operating today, they would be working with all the new technologies and social conditions of the present, and the imagery would be quite different.
The mini-color course is limited to taking one hour a week from basic design. The course is restricted to four or five exercises, color interaction, boundaries, visual mixture and how much to how much. The balance of the course is devoted to free studies and leaf studies. The one hour is used to critique student work, and to present new exercises. When the work is not satisfactory, it is repeated until a majority of students under stand and overall class results are reasonably consistent. Color is stressed over shape, and composition should not compete with the color. Craft is an important consideration in evaluation of work. All work is expected to be done outside of class time.
Near the end of the term, students have expended all their favorite colors and they begin to work with what is left of the color pack. They then work with colors that normally they would not select, and some of the most interesting color studies come from this stage of the course. One of the greatest benefits of the color course is that it forces students to try colors that under other circumstances they would not consider. Most students coming into design education are not visually sensitive, and the color problems are an excellent vehicle for developing a discriminating eye for color choice, how much to how much, composition and a greater understanding of what constitutes visual sensitivity. This sensitivity usually transfers to other courses such as drawing, design, typography and photography. Sensitivity itself cannot be taught, but students can be made aware of it, and they can improve on their intuitive capabilities. Color boundary and quantity problems are absolutely essential to the education of every graphic designer.
What is described here is not so much a color course as it is a series of exercises to make students sensitive to color and composition, and to further develop eye skills. Graphic design students require a much more comprehensive course in color. It is important for students to know the major color systems, learn color terminology and to be introduced to the physics of light and color. Students require the experience of mixing color and learning to apply it with skill.
Basic terminology for the course includes the following: 1 Hue refers to one color; color refers to one or several hues; color and hue can be interchangeable, while chroma refers to all color including shades, tints and tones.
2 Intensity, saturation or brilliance are interchangeable terms. Refers to higher or lower in degrees of vividness. Diluted or undiluted color or pigmentation.
3 Shades are hue plus black.
4 Tints are hue plus white.
5 Tone is hue plus grays.
6 Analogous colors or those that are adjacent on the color wheel.
7 Chromatic refers to all hues, shades, tints and tones.
8 Achromatic refers to the entire spectrum of gray with white at one end and black at the other.
9 Chromatics have an achromatic equivalent called value.

Two shocking drops from Pakistan today. One from an Akmal too. I do not trust them as far as I can throw them. I wouldn't be putting any money on Pak tbf, even though on the face of it their price of 1/2 overnight was ridiculously long. |

There's still some fight left in General Motors, as the company continues to work back from the brink of its demise.
Monday morning's earnings report showed the Detroit automaker managed to earn $1.66 per share on revenue of $31.5 billion in the quarter ended March 31, after a loss of $9.78 per share on $22.4 billion in revenue a year earlier. The company's $865 million first-quarter profit marked its first three-month period out of the red since a $891 million profit in the second quarter of 2007.
GM's market share held steady on a global scale from a year ago at 11.2%, despite a dip in U.S. cars and Europe.
Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said the company is adding production in North America to keep up with strong demand, and that GM is "also steadily growing in emerging markets, keeping our costs under control, generating positive cash flow and maintaining a strong balance sheet."
That's a big change from a year ago, when GM and Chrysler both wound up filing for bankruptcy and getting a substantial helping hand from the U.S. government. That aid resulted in Uncle Sam taking a sizable stake in both companies.
GM made a big show of repaying the "loan" portion of the aid package in April, but there is still about over $40 billion tied up in the car company that gives the government a 61% stake. That money will only be returned to taxpayer coffers through a public offering of stock that will replace federal dollars with money from private investors. (See "GM Still Owes Us.")
Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Treasury is shopping for advisors on a GM IPO. In January, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz told Forbes that while a 2010 offering was possible, the company is wary of taking any steps prematurely. (See "The End Of 'Government' Motors.")
Until the eventual IPO, investors have no way of buying GM shares on a public exchange, but fellow automakers that do trade were mixed Monday as shareholders ponder whether GM's results are a signal that the automotive industry has turned a corner.

0 MOTLEY CRUE Announces THE FINAL TOUR
MÖTLEY CRÜE Announces
Presented by Dodge
Band is first-ever to sign binding "Cessation of Touring" agreement to prevent future, unauthorized touring
Last Chance To Ever See The Band Perform Live
TWEET IT: #RIPMotleyCrue – @MotleyCrue announces #TheFinalTour, Country tribute album, "The Dirt" movie & more! Full details at motley.com
Los Angeles, CA (January 28, 2014) – After more than three decades together, iconic rock 'n roll band MÖTLEY CRÜE announced today their Final Tour and the band's ultimate retirement. The announcement was solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles today. Celebrating the announcement of this Final Tour, the band will perform on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live TONIGHT and will appear on CBS This Morning TOMORROW MORNING.
With over 80 million albums sold, MÖTLEY CRÜE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MÖTLEY CRÜE branded items sold in over 30 countries. MÖTLEY CRÜE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different; Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart- topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. "When it comes to putting together a new show we always push the envelope and that's part of Motley Crue's legacy," explains Nikki Sixx (bass). "As far as letting on to what we're doing, that would be like finding out what you're getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we'd like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch the Final Tour."
The Final Tour presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation will kick off in North America on July 2nd in Grand Rapids, MI and reach 72 markets before hitting international territories in 2015. To Live Nation MÖTLEY CRÜE tours are not only box office successes but artistically their shows have set the bar for production and entertainment value. "There's no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock and roll," says Rick Franks, Live Nation's Regional President of North America Concerts. "But behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue."
The Dodge brothers were a notorious duo, so it seemed only natural to partner with the World's Most Notorious Rock Band. "Whenever I talk to people about Motley Crue, the common thread is how cool and relevant the band remains even after 33 years," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO, Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This irreverent 'staying power' resonates deeply with the Dodge brand as we turn the corner on our 100 year anniversary. What better way to celebrate the band's final tour and the 25th anniversary of Kickstart My Heart than to do it together?"
Fans can look forward to Very Special Guest ALICE COOPER joining MÖTLEY CRÜE for an incredible package – Alice invented the genre and MÖTLEY CRÜE put steroids in it! "Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days," said Alice, continuing,"Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that's to blow the audience away. That's exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We're going to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper – A match made in… Armageddon?"
As documented in the Cessation Of Touring Agreement the band signed at the press conference today, the band will not tour after this Final Tour. Band Attorney, Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law, explains "Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is a mutual among all four original members and peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement." Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy 2-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains "Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big fucking bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with 1 or 2 original band members! Our job here is done!!!" Of the band's tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds "(It has been) more drama than 'General Hospital' it keeps 'em watchin' and they keep comin' back." Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour – "I'll miss playing with the guys but I won't quit playing rock and roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Motley."
The Final Tour will coincide with the film made from MÖTLEY CRÜE's NY Times Best-Selling book The Dirt. Jeff Tremaine (Bad Grandpa) has signed on to direct the opus that is set to debut in theaters globally in 2015, coinciding with The Final Tour. The Dirt is not only one of the best selling rock books of all time but also one of the greatest rock books of all time because of its brutal honesty, its unique voice, its multiple perspectives on the same events and its first-person inclusion of all members of the same band. Most rock memoirs are salacious mud-slinging accounts of a single person and MÖTLEY CRÜE was adamant to include the perspectives of all four of its members. Tremaine's intention is to make, not just a great movie about a band, but a great movie about four misfits who, despite themselves and everyone else, band together to overcome the odds and change the history of Rock & Roll. "The Dirt' is a movie I've wanted to make ever since I read the book in 2002," says Tremaine. "I relate to the story on so many levels; my whole professional career has been about boys behaving badly, so I have a real connection to the material. It's awesome to be working with the band at such an exciting time in Motley Crue's history." The film will be produced by the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE, Rick Yorn, Julie Yorn, Erik Olsen and 10th Street Entertainment.
BIG MACHINE RECORDS, home to Country Superstars such as Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw has teamed up in a joint venture with MÖTLEY RECORDS and ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC for the summer 2014 release of a Country Music Tribute To MÖTLEY CRÜE. BIG MACHINE founder and CEO, Scott Borchetta, is among the legion of Country Music fans who love MÖTLEY CRÜE. The country tribute album will show off the band's quality songwriting with these fresh takes on their classic hit songs. Among the artists already confirmed to be featured on the country tribute album is Florida Georgia Line. Borchetta says of the collaboration, "I have been a not-so-secret Crue fan from the beggining. When manager Chris Nilsson called with the idea for a tribute album on Big Machine Records it was an immediate 'yes' from me! Our album will highlight just how great the Motley Crue song catalog is. At the end of the day, that's what will stand the test of time."
MÖTLEY CRÜE Fan Club members will get the exclusive first crack at tickets and VIP Packages, via a unique code, beginning on Wednesday, January 29th starting at 10am local time. VIP ticket packages will be made available to the general public on Thursday, January 30th at 10am local time. The general public ticket on-sale for most shows is Friday, January 31st. All tickets and packages can be obtained via Ticketmaster.com, LiveNation.com, or via MotleyVIP.com.

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, the quartet—Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitars), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums)—has commandeered the rock pantheon for over 30 years.

Motley Crue was the first rock band in history to have completed an epic sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The band continues to remain on the forefront of entertainment reinventing themselves via not only their music but also their mind blowing live shows featuring never seen before elements, such as Tommy Lee's 360 drum roller coaster. Motley Crue was featured in KIA MOTORS' award winning 2012 Super Bowl commercial.

1 Vie's Verses – M3 2014 Could Be The Best M3 Yet
Kix. Extreme. Night Ranger. Tesla. Stryper. Sebastian Bach. To see any one of these bands live is a magnificent experience of nonstop fun. To see them all over the course of two days is a headbanger's dream come true. The 2014 lineup for M3 was announced on January 10th and tickets were quickly secured by yours truly. With a lineup like this, there was no way that I was going to miss M3 2014.
Now in its sixth year, the M3 festival has really hit its stride and knows what bands to deliver in order to make a well impacted punch. This is the first year I can remember where filler isn't on the bill. In years past, I was able to plan out my trips for cheesesteaks, beer, and people watching based on what band was going to take the stage. This year, that will be almost impossible.
On Friday night, the festivities open with Winger. They are a great live band and I haven't seen them perform in a couple of years. Obviously, theirs is a performance I do not want to miss. They are followed by Lita Ford, who puts on a strong live show of her own.
After that, Extreme takes the stage. I've never seen them live, but I am anxiously awaiting my chance to pump a fist in the air with the sounds of "Kid Ego," and "Peacemaker Die." If they pull out "Mutha (Don't Want To Go To School Today)" I can go to the grave a happy man.
Following Extreme, it's Kix, and if you don't know what a great live show they put on, you haven't read Hard Rock Hideout enough. After having WASP headline last year's show, it is so good to see Kix back in the Friday night closing spot. Kix is, and always should be, the true Friday night headliners of M3.
And that's just night one. For the second day of M3 I expect to be up bright and early, because Heaven's Edge, John Corabi, and Femme Fatale have the first three spots. I think I am most excited about seeing Corabi perform, and I know that I will dust off my old Union CDs prior to heading to Maryland.
Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, Autograph, Keel, and Jack Russel's Great White take the stages next and I don't see how I will find time to use the men's room let alone grab a beer or a bite to eat. There is no way I can miss Red Dragon Cartel, Autograph and Keel have me very excited, and Jack Russell's Great White can be a lot of fun. However, if there is any spot that I will pause for a break, it's probably for Jack Russell. Sorry, Great White fans, I know he's fun, but with a lineup this strong, someone has to be the weak link.
From there things really pick up. LA Guns, Stryper, Slaughter, Queensryche (Tood La Torre Version), Sebastian Bach, Night Ranger, and Tesla. Well, which one of those bands would you sit out for? That's right, none of them. From the moment LA Guns turns on their amps to the last note from Tesla, Saturday is really going to rock in Maryland. That is the strongest string of performers in a row that I have ever seen in print. All of those bands are amazing, all of those bands have massive hits, and all of those bands can bring it live. And to see Night Ranger followed by Tesla will just leave me speechless (and hoarse).
I've attended a lot of festivals over the course of my music loving years, but I can't recall ever being this electrified for one. M3 2014 is going to be flat out amazing. Yes, there are some bands missing that I still want to see (Vain and Pretty Boy Floyd come immediately to mind), but it doesn't matter. With the talent that is contained over the course of these two days, M3 is THE spot to be in April if you are a head banging, metal music lover. It could be the best one ever.

SCOTT IAN adds, "England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Germany; I've been "Speaking Words" all over the world. My friends in the U.S. and Canada, you asked for it and now I finally get to bring it home! I'm looking forward to talking with ya, talking at ya and telling you some amazing tales of drunken debauchery and ridiculousness.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY have released the album art, track listing and first single from their forthcoming LP due later this year. "Catacombs of the Black Vatican" is available immediately for iTunes preorder and the brand new single "My Dying Time" is also available for purchase.
Fans who pre-order the iTunes version will get the "My Dying Time" immediately as an instant gratification download.
Zakk Wylde recently appeared on VH1 Classic's That Metal show. Wylde also stopped by the Artie Lange show while in NYC to talk all things "Catacombs of the Black Vatican."
"Catacombs of the Black Vatican," will be released Tuesday, April 8th, 2014.
"Catacombs of the Black Vatican" is the first all new LP from BLS since "The Order of the Black" was released in 2009, which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
Most recently, the band released the 2-CD set "Unblackened," which found Black Label Society in a mellower mood in a performance taped at Club Nokia in Los Angeles last year.
The band recently announced "An Evening With Zakk Wylde," a 13-city Canadian tour across Canada featuring intimate versions of some of the band's most popular songs, as well as songs from Wylde's best-selling solo album "Book of Shadows."
Since their late nineties inception, Black Label Society, formed by guitar legend Zakk Wylde, has been at the forefront of their genre. Their taste for hard riffs and blazing solos has resulted in a slew of hugely successful albums and a reputation as one of the most powerful live bands of their generation.
Zakk Wylde, who has been called one of the true guitar heroes in modern history, served as Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist for over 20 years in addition to his work with BLS. This collaboration led to a string of multi-platinum albums, including Osbourne's biggest selling "No More Tears," for which Wylde wrote all the music.
In addition to holding Guitar World Magazine's MVP four years straight Wylde has been bestowed with such accolades as "Best Rock Guitarist" from Guitar Player, "Metal Guru" from the recently held Classic Rock awards in the UK, "Golden God" by Metal Hammer, the "Best Guitarist" Award from Revolver Magazine. Wylde has proven time and time again that his songwriting, guitar prowess, and on-stage persona, along with his larger-than-life personality, have made him a force to be reckoned with.
Black Label Society continues to enthrall fans around the globe, and "Catacombs of the Black Vatican" is another incredible piece in the band's catalog.

0 MAGNUM to Release Escape From the Shadow Garden April 1st in North America on SPV/Steamhammer
Not only musicians and freelance artists know this phenomenon: it's impossible to deliver top creative performances at the push of a button. You need peace, leisure, and – most of all – a certain amount of serenity to create truly great works of art. "We used to be under permanent pressure from our record companies," says Magnum mastermind Tony Clarkin. "They kept calling us, demanding hit singles and radio numbers. But that sort of thing doesn't work on demand. Now we're with SPV, where it's a totally different situation. They give us the necessary time and trust us to do the right thing. That's probably the reason why I enjoy working with Magnum again."
Clarkin's regained joy in his band is omnipresent on the latest Magnum offering, Escape From The Shadow Garden. Just like his simple yet logical work ethos: "I simply told myself: you're a passable guitarist, so you should play the guitar. As the band's guitarist and producer, I have all the freedom I need to create exactly what I feel like creating." The result of his latest burst of creativity consists of eleven wonderfully melodic rock songs, which blend all the typical Magnum ingredients, sounding in a fascinating way both timeless and classic. "This band has certain unmistakable trademarks," Clarkin explains. "Among them are my feel for melodies and Bob's unique vocal style."
Only a month after the release of its predecessor, On The 13th Day, Clarkin started with the preparations for Escape From The Shadow Garden – as always an exciting phase in his life. "Before you haven't recorded and mixed every single note, you never really know whether you'll be happy with the result. When I heard the final version of the eleven new songs with their different stories and diverse arrangements, I knew it had turned into an impressive and complete album. Together with the great cover artwork designed by Rodney Matthews (Asia, Nazareth, Eloy), this is a release, which forges an arch to the early days of Magnum's career. And that's wonderful! I was really happy when my friend Jimmy Lea of Slade came to visit me at the studio again and said: 'You've done it again?' It doesn't matter whether by sheer luck or hard work – life could have gone a totally differently way."
'Escape From The Shadow Garden' will be release on Steamhammer / SPV on March 19th in Scandinavia, March 21st in Germany, March 24th in Europe and April 1st in the US/Canada.
'Escape From The Shadow Garden' will be available as a limited digipak edition with bonus DVD, as a double gatefold coloured vinyl LP set incl. bonus track, standard jewel case CD and download.

0 Volbeat Announce Return To North America On Heels Of Grammy Nomination
Coast-To-Coast Tour Begins April 3 At The Fillmore in Denver, CO
With Trivium and Digital Summer Supporting
Volbeat returns to North America on April 3rd for a tour of the U.S that brings the Danish quartet coast-to-coast. The run begins at The Fillmore in Denver, CO, and will wrap the second week of May on the East Coast with Trivium and Digital Summer supporting.
The band will arrive on North American shores on the heels of their first Grammy Nomination in the Best Metal Performance category for "Room 24" (Volbeat Featuring King Diamond). Alongside this industry honor, Volbeat has become a staple at Active Rock radio, cementing the band's relevance with five consecutive #1 singles at the format. The most recent "Lola Montez" follows "The Hangman's Body Count" which held on to the top spot for five weeks, and prior chart toppers "Warrior's Call," "Still Counting" and "Heaven Nor Hell."
In the U.S., Volbeat's most recent album release via Republic Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies has exceeded 200,000 copies sold, while overseas the title has been certified platinum in their home country of Denmark, Germany and Austria, with gold sales in Finland.
Since forming in Copenhagen in 2000, Volbeat has released five studio albums, and two live offerings that have turned the band into superstars, collecting platinum discs and prestigious awards making them one of the most talked about bands around the world. Volbeat's fifth album, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, debuted at No. 1 in the band's home country of Denmark alongside Canada, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and Austria. The new release saw a debut at No. 2 in Finland, No. 4 in the Netherlands and Sweden, and No. 9 in The United States.

0 MARTIRIA, featuring Vinny Appice on drums, to release "R-evolution" on Rocksector Records on 10th February 2014
Italy's Martiria are to release a brand new album "R-evolution" on Rocksector Records, on 10th February 2014. The band includes former-Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven and Hell drummer Vinny Appice. The release celebrates the 10th anniversary of Martiria's first album release "The Eternal Soul" in 2004.
Based in Rome, Martiria was originally formed in 1987, focusing mainly on doom metal. After several years delay whilst the members pursued alternative projects, the band re-grouped in 2002, released the debut album in 2004 and a further 4 albums up to and including 2012's "Roma S.P.Q.R." A small number of line-up changes occurred through these years – former members include Rick Anderson (Warlord) – culminating in the 2013 line-up which has recorded the new release….
Andy Menario (guitar and keyboards), Flavio Cosma (vocals), Derek Maniscalco (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), Marco R. Capelli (lyrics).
Music written by Andy Menario. Lyrics written by Marco R. Capelli.
Mixed and mastered at Antfarm Studio (Denmark), by producer Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Mnemic, Hatesphere, Ektomorf). Drums recorded at Freedom Studio (USA) by Thomas Le Blanc.
The resulting style of "R-evolution" is a combination of the band's original doom metal vision including references to the sounds of Candlemass and Black Sabbath, mixed with the uplifting influences of classic and power metal. There's drama and poerty in the superb vocals and lyrics, whilst the soundscape is epic and moving. Finally, of course the drumming of Vinny Appice adds a further dimension of undeniable quality.
The relationship with Vinny Appice was forged when in 2006 both Andy Menario and Marco R. Capelli worked with the drummer on the Power Project, which also featured Carl Sentance (ex-Krokus), Carlos Cavazo (ex-Quiet Riot), and Jeff Pilson (ex-Dokken).
"R-evolution" will be released physically into UK and Europe, and digitally worldwide, on 10th February 2014. A pre-order package will be available from 10th January.
The trailer video for the album, complete with the entire song for the first single "Revolution" is available to watch at youtube now on this link http://youtu.be/2TrGewuX38w

Prepare to be amazed! Live the Dream, the upcoming all-instrumental album from guitar wunderkind Ethan Brosh, is due out March 4 on drumming legend Carmine Appice's new label, Rocker Records LLC, and Brosh's dazzling chops and limitless imagination as a player and composer will undoubtedly delight metal aficionados and fill them with awe.
An honest-to-goodness guitar hero, Brosh, who grew up in Israel, is a daring six-string acrobat who plays with fire and precision, never sacrificing technical proficiency for flashy showmanship – although his dynamic, fleet-fingered solos, furious riffs and complex acoustic figures are wildly entertaining. Having added to his already bulging bag of tricks, the Berklee College of Music graduate, now an instructor at the school, soars to new heights on Live the Dream, pushing the envelope with supernatural guitar wizardry and drawing up stunningly inventive musical designs that are wondrous to behold.
"Rocker Records and Carmine Appice are excited to be working with one of metal's up-and-coming young stars," said the label's Michael Cusanelli.
They are not alone in their admiration. Mixed by Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth) and mastered by Bob Ludwig (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Iron
Maiden), Live the Dream – with cover art painted by Joe Petagno – is progressive and intellectual in its construction, showcasing refined melodic sensibilities
and a maturing instinct for developing intricate and diverse harmonies. Live the Dream, an album Brosh began promoting last spring while touring in support of
Yngwie Malmsteen, finds Brosh quickly evolving as a songwriter, even going so far as to effectively experiment with flamenco, trading off nylon string and
full-on electric guitar parts in a completely unique and beguiling fashion while also employing the formidable talents of Megadeth's Dave Ellefson in a way
nobody would expect.
Brosh used to be in the band Angels of Babylon with Ellefson, who appears on two Live the Dream tracks. Together again, they go nuclear on the track "Rude
"The intent here was to create a heavy, in-your-face kind of tune with a real mean groove to it!" said Brosh, joined by bassist Alex Pierce and drummer Tyler
LeVander on Live the Dream. "I figured this tune could use the help of the greatest thrash metal bassist Dave Ellefson! I still can't get over how huge
Ellefson's bass intro sounds after the incredible mix of Max Norman!"
Brosh is just as enthused about the title track. "I feel this tune defines a lot of my guitar playing at this point in time," he said. "It's an epic tune that
combines some hard rock riffs that have lots of drive to them. I believe the beginning is a perfect introduction to this record and its dream concept!"
A product of an enjoyable creative process, "Space Invaders" is mind-blowing as well. "Since this is a guitar instrumental record after all, I figured I'd have
some fun with writing a tune that has a fast riff and lots of guitar harmonies, etc., etc. … I'm really proud of the way it came out because I feel the melodies
came out strong in the end," said Brosh. "To me, that's really important. People seem to respond really well to this one when we play it live. Maybe it's because
it has too many nooooooootes!"
It's a good bet they'll embrace "Clean Slate," too.
"The tune started as a guitar only idea," said Brosh. "It developed through time. When I sit at the edge of the stage and play this tune, it is an intimate
moment between the audience and me, regardless of the crowd size. Once the band joins in with a big bang, it really hits the listener hard! I think we managed
to capture that vibe very well on the record, too. I have a feeling this will be a tune that stands out for people!"
Below is the track listing for Live the Dream:

VR fans old and new were stunned by his performance on the last tour in the USA. Nick was hired on the spot after band leader Geoff Thorpe saw a video on Youtube!" I just imagined him singing our songs and it works perfectly. Once we met and the chemistry was right I realized I found the right guy for the job!"

Lynch Mob will rock the west coast in February, delivering classic favorites and tracks from the latest record while introducing a new vocalist for the diversely-pedigreed band.
For twelve years with Dokken, George Lynch was able to develop a groundbreaking brand of guitar virtuoso that would also earn a Grammy nomination. In the early 1990s, Lynch launched his own project, Lynch Mob, which harnessed the talent of rock's best players and released several well-received records, from 1990s WICKED SENSATION to the most recent UNPLUGGED. Tracks like "Wicked Sensation," "River of Love" and "Tangled in the Web" have solidified George Lynch's position on Guitar World's list of Greatest Guitarists Of All Time. Live, Lynch Mob is described as desert- infused blues-based rock with a penchant for extended improvising, harkening back to the glorious jam days of the late 60's and early 70's.
"…a guitar hero by anyone's standards." Legendary Rock Interviews
"…one of the most gifted musicians on the planet…" Rock Music Star
Lynch's current work also includes the film "Shadow Nation," which explores a hybrid way of life, merging modern society with the ancient practices of people who have lived in harmony with the land for thousands of years; native American Indians. The film reveals its message through the journey of a group of renowned musical artists as they share their rock music on a road trip through Indian reservations of the southwest. http://shadowtrainmovie.com/synopsis/ He has also teamed with Arcane Inc. to create a new signature series of Mr. Scary guitar pickups http://mrscaryguitars.com/pickups/.
The current iteration of Lynch Mob is an unusual combination of rock backgrounds. Bassist Kevin Baldes is an original member of the Orange County alternative rock band Lit. Lit's platinum album A PLACE IN THE SUN spawned three top ten hits including "My Own Worst Enemy." He's also played with Sugarcult, MEST and Good Man Down. Jimmy D'Anda is on drums. With L.A. based rock band BulletBoys and its hit "Smooth Up In Ya," he earned a Gold album and toured the world with rock's biggest acts.
Being introduced on this tour is new vocalist Thadeus Gonzalez. With Oakland-based Electric Sister, Tad enjoyed critical acclaim from not only the release of THE LOST ART OF ROCK & ROLL, but also supporting gigs with KISS/Motley Crue, Slash, Black Label Society, and Danko Jones. He's been called "a frontman to watch" and "a definitive rock 'n' roll voice."
Confirmed dates for the Lynch Mob Wynter 2014 tour include:
2/13 Vamp'd Las Vegas, NV
2/14 Whisky A Go Go Hollywood CA
2/15 Brick By Brick San Diego CA
2/19 El Corazon Seattle WA

0 Hellpop II Tour – Cincinnati, Ohio Photo Gallery Featuring Before The Mourning, All Hail The Yeti, Devour The Day & Butcher Babies
The Hellpop II Tour came to Cincinnati, Ohio's Bogart's on Sunday night, but there was a little problem. You see, In This Moment had to postpone their show, as Maria Brink has been ill.
With the absence of the tour's headliner, Bogart's and the other bands on the Hellpop II Tour decided to make this a free show. Anyone could walk in and check out this event, and judging from the packed house at Bogart's, many did.
Before the Mourning, All Hail The Yeti, Devout the Day & Butcher Babies took advantage of the situation by electrifying the crowd with their heavy, hair flying metal. The Cincinnati fans loved definitely loved every minute of it. The show had more crowd surfers than I have seen at any local events in quite some time. All of the bands were great, but it was the Butcher Babies who stole their show.
Devour The Day singer, Blake Allison joined in the crowd surfing fun during the band's set, and The Butcher Babies' Heidi Sheperd and Carla Harvey got up close and personal singing to the crowd atop the Bogart's pit barrier, while the security scrambled to hold them up, and manage to deflect the onslaught of crowd surfers that made their way into the pit.
This show could have easily been cancelled, but instead it turned out to be a great night of metal in Cincinnati. In This Moment & Butcher Babies will return to Bogarts on February 3rd, 2014. Don't miss them!

0 Black Sabbath The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978: Now Available Exclusively On The iTunes Store
EXCLUSIVELY ON THE iTUNES STORE
When Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Terry "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward formed Black Sabbath in 1969, they created a signature sound that set the blueprint for heavy music and influenced generations of disciples for years to come. For the first time, the full catalog from the original Black Sabbath lineup is now available digitally in the U.S. and has been mastered specifically for iTunes, ensuring the delivery of the music to listeners with increased audio fidelity, more closely replicating what the artists, recording engineers, and producers intended. Available exclusively on the iTunes Store worldwide (www.iTunes.com/BlackSabbath), fans now have the ability to download all albums in one newly created bundle (THE COMPLETE STUDIO ALBUMS 1970-1978), eight legendary studio albums, two classic compilations, or simply purchase each song individually.
"It's about f**king time the first eight Black Sabbath albums were made available on iTunes in the U.S.," said Ozzy Osbourne.
"Great news, been a long time trying to explain to fans why the music wasn't available," Tony Iommi commented.
"It's going to be great to finally have the catalogue accessible on iTunes," Geezer Butler notes.
BLACK SABBATH: THE COMPLETE STUDIO ALBUMS 1970-1978 features the band's collected studio works for Warner Bros. Records from the 1970's, including their iconic eponymous debut (1970), the multi-platinum landmark Paranoid (1970), the platinum albums Master Of Reality (1971), Vol. 4 (1972), and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973), and the gold-certified Sabotage (1975), Technical Ecstasy (1976), and Never Say Die! (1978). Also available is their classic 1976 compilation We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll as well as 2006's Greatest Hits 1970-1978, which was released in connection with their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Following wildly successful shows in North and South America, Australia, Asia and Europe, Black Sabbath will kick off another North American tour with dates starting March 31 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The trek will hit ten cities in Canada, including stops in Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton, before wrapping April 26 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA. These dates will be part of the band's final shows of their 2013-2014 world tour in support of their first studio album in 35 years, 13, which entered the charts at #1 in 13 countries (including their first #1 in the U.S.). Another run of European festivals and headlining shows will follow this summer.
First formed in Birmingham, England, Black Sabbath's doom-laden sound pioneered a new kind of heavy rock music, a sound that would later influence hundreds of other bands. Many consider Black Sabbath to be the godfathers of heavy metal, but Sabbath were capable of surprising their fans with songs that showed other facets of their skills besides darkness and monstrous decibels. Thirty years after their initial impact, guitarists are still stunned by Tony Iommi's jaw-dropping riffs, Geezer Butler's swooping bass lines, and Bill Ward's thunderous drums. And, of course, in Ozzy Osbourne the band had one of the most magnetic and unpredictable front men ever in rock, with a maniacal voice like few others before or since.

The Charles H. Townes Graduate Student Fellowship
The Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (CTNS) established the Graduate Student Fellowship in 2005 in order to help support doctoral students at the Graduate Theological Union working in science and theology. The Fellowship was renamed the Charles H. Townes Graduate Student Fellowship on September 16, 2006 in recognition of Dr. Townes' work with physics graduate students at UC Berkeley and for his generous and longstanding support of CTNS. Dr. Townes is a Nobel Laureate in Physics for his role in the discovery of the maser and laser, Professor of Physics in the Graduate School at UC Berkeley and Templeton Prize Winner. Dr. Townes serves on the Advisory Board of the CTNS Program Science and Transcendence Advanced Research Series (STARS), was a participating scientist in the CTNS Program Science and the Spiritual Quest (SSQ), and has served for 2 decades on the CTNS Board of Directors. This announcement and tribute may be found on the CTNS website, www.ctns.org/townes.html. Robert John Russell, CTNS Founder / Director and Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science at the GTU states:
"Charlie has been a champion of the intellectual validity and ethical voice of religion to an often skeptical and even dismissive scientific community. Charlie has been unremittingly outspoken in his conviction that science and religion are convergent rather than in conflict or in isolated realms. In particular, science should not be co-opted into the service of atheism and materialism but instead celebrated as a lasting partner with religion in service to the wider culture. As a Nobel laureate in physics with over two dozen honorary degrees and as a member of such distinguished societies as the National Academy of Science and the Pontifical Academy of Science, Charlie represents the world of theological education in places where we could never go and to people who would never listen to us even if we got there."
The CTNS Charles H. Townes Fellowship is for Graduate Theological Union doctoral students pursuing research in theology and science. Applicants need to be working on their comprehensive exams at an advanced level (the equivalent of the "special comprehensive exams" in the Area of Systematic and Philosophical Theology) or have finished their comprehensive exams and are working on their dissertation or dissertation proposal. The awards are given on the basis of merit: students must clearly demonstrate their ability to do promising research on issues of theology and science.
CTNS is building up this fund so doctoral students in the future will continue to receive this fellowship award to help support their academic research in theology and science.
CTNS invites you to contribute to this student fund by mailing a check to: CTNS-Charles H. Townes Student Fund 2400 Ridge Rd. Berkeley, CA 94709 USA or by donating on-line Your donations to CTNS are tax-deductible.

The price is perfect!
Many visitors to Delaware Park are not aware of the fabulous entertainment that is provided free of charge. Fair enough, there is so much going on with the vibrant casino and the numerous bars and restaurants, not to mention the racetrack that it is easy not to notice what else is going on.
The entertainment which is on offer at Delaware Park is quite extraordinary in that it is of such a high standard that it is highly unusual that there is not some kind of entrance charge. For example, on the 1st and 2nd of November there is the highly regarded Pink Floyd tribute band, Think Pink who are performing on the Hops Stage.
Don't think for one minute though that this is a one off, on November 8th the party dance band, What Mama Said are making an appearance and on the following night, the R and B favorites, Coast to Coast will be the main attraction.
This trend is set to continue on the lead up to Christmas and then into the new year so if you are planning a trip to Delaware Park make sure you keep a check on the website to see what is happening.
Also, don't forget that the disco nights are a regular feature on selected Wednesday's and if you haven't experienced Dave's Oldies Disco Party then you really don't know what you have been missing. Don't let the mention of oldies put you off because it would be safe to say that it will be one of the liveliest nights that you will ever have experienced for a very long time.
From sports betting to poker, Delaware Park Betting features endless casino, golf, horse racing and sports gambling options.
When you combine this level of entertainment with the wonderful surroundings that Delaware Park is famous for, it can only mean one thing and that is a great night will be enjoyed by all. Why not enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants as well; there are dining options to cater for all budgets so you can basically push the boat out or keep the price down, whatever you feel like, the choice is yours but one thing is for sure, a great evening out is guaranteed!
There's plenty going on at Delaware Park but don't forget the free entertainment which is of a standard that you just won't believe!
