As quickly became evident, this was rugby from a slightly different perspective. The program followed the fortunes of a team from Sydney, Australia as they entered a national tournament. The difference was, this team - and all the other teams in the tournament - was comprised entirely of gay men. Okay, I thought, not what I was expecting, but let's watch this, because it appears to be the kind of message that the gay community really needs in the struggle for equality. I have to say that for 95% of it, the program, did exactly that: ordinary blokes playing a game that they were passionate about (I can relate to that 100%) and sharing the indefinable bond of the team.
These guys, however, shared more than the team spirit that goes along with the finest sport in the world. They shared more than a sense of belonging to a sporting group. What they all had in common was a life that I have not known; a life of discrimination, of prejudice and of emotional torture. The depth of their individual pain became evident in the changing room as they waited to run onto the pitch for the tournament final (and ultimately win the whole bloody thing!) and each of them opened up to the team about what it meant to them. Yes, there were tears - and quite right too, because the pain and the emotion was so obviously real, the damage to young lives so raw, and the love in the room so absolute.
I sat and watched and was surprised to find that I was feeling a little envious. Of course I didn't envy them their pain, distress and damage that had been done to them (and may never be repaired) but I did find myself hankering after the kind of team spirit that was almost palpable in that changing room, even through the TV screen. I wondered how many 'straight' teams they played against, and how many of those games had a particular edge at a team and individual level. Every sport is a little different when your opponent has an unreasoning hatred for who you are or what you represent, and I'm sure they must come across plenty of that attitude.
Only one character jarred a little: the one guy who had gone down the twee route. I've always thought (well, once I'd grown up, at least), that 'twee' has little to do with being gay. Twee guys seem to me to be people who want attention regardless of their sexuality, yet it's people who behave this way (it also always strikes me as a very child-like representation of femininity) who are often viewed as the stereotypical gay man. It was a disappointment that the program dwelled on this fellow for as long as it did, because he was the only character who, despite all the noise he seemed to want to make, did not seem to embody the idea of team membership.
However, overall, I thought the documentary was a triumph. It proved to be a superb showcase, not only for club-level rugby and the feel of the changing room and camaraderie that it generates (a good cause in itself: so much more healthy a sport than the spiteful atmospheres created by soccer or ice hockey), but also for gay men. It made a very strong case for the simplest truth, namely that gay men are merely men who are gay. These guys showed immense bravery allowing the camera into the changing room, particularly during the emotional scenes I have mentioned. They also demonstrated strength and trust - both so necessary to allow oneself to cry in front of team mates. They showed above all that they are strong yet sensitive and considerate men. That makes them - at least in my book - no lesser men than any other, and better than a great many.
Oh for the day when we can stop defining people by their sexuality.

The answer to that is provided by the first word in the first panel of the first page. "MYSTIQUE:". She's only the second named character to narrate Uncanny, and a villain, at that! Still, it gets it out of the way quickly, and Kitty Pryde is lying on the floor, bleeding with a fake-Wolverine standing over her on the third page. The other X-Men attack, one by one (Colossus, Cyclops, Storm, Rogue and Nightcrawler), and Mystique is defeated. She then wakes up in her apartment, as another rug is pulled from under us: all of that was a fake-out, a Murderworld simulation. Mystique wants to get Rogue, who she basically considers her daughter, back. And she's pulling her blows against Nightcrawler, for some reason. At this point Mystique's narration abruptly stops, because of the point-of-view shift to the X-Men.
'Crawler is concerned about his relationship to her, on account of both being blue and him being a foundling. Ask Margali Szardos (his adoptive mother), she said. [Did this actually happen in a comic - I suppose Days of Future Past or the one in the Pentagon?] Mystique and the Brotherhood set an ambush for a few of the X-Men, who are attending a ballet.
The ambush - of Kitty and Peter and Kurt and Amanda is a bit of a disaster for everyone involved, and Kitty gets word out to Xavier, who sends Storm and Wolverine, but leaves Rogue on the bench. Peter is taken out of action by supercooling. Reed Richards might be able to help but is out, so she just goes and breaks into (or rather, phases through) the Baxter Building, and nicks a bit of equipment to restore Colossus back to normal. The X-Men quickly take down Pyro, Avalanche, Blob and... oh that's it. Crap.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Mystique shoots Professor Xavier, and tries to talk Rogue into coming back with her. She's convinced that she only left because of Xavier's mindcontrol - which is half-right - it was Mastermind. This relationship with Mystique, who took in a young Rogue before she became a mutant, is at the heart of the issue, and it can more than withstand the weight.
Mystique offers a truce, and an exchange of prisoners, which has never happened before and suggests an interesting new course, never really taken, of her Brotherhood and the X-Men having a more ambiguous relationship. But in all this confusion, Kitty Pryde has been lost, and is found having fallen from a building, with the technogadget smashed to bits.

We have an extensive outreach programs with OB-GYN doctors, hospital and pregnancy clinics around the country. As a direct result, we receive telephone calls from birth mothers all over the country on a daily basis.
Currently we have found most of our adoptive parent(s) are "matched" with a birth mother within 6-12 months. At the present time, AdoptHelp enjoys a very high successful adoption rate, at 90% plus. (National statistics for failed adoptions run anywhere from 50% or higher.)
We attribute our high success to our expert advertising and screening process. Because we have a large volume of Birth Mothers contacting us, we can afford to be more selective with our Birth Mothers. We choose a Birth Mother based on background information and her commitment to the adoption process.

State governments are poised to boost spending in their next fiscal year for the first time since 2008, and they generally plan to do it without raising taxes.
That news, from the National Governors Association Thursday, comes as states continue to face a financial squeeze.
Tax revenues have begun to recover but remain below where they stood when the financial crisis hit. The recession has boosted demand for social welfare programs such as Medicaid. And it won't be long before emergency aid from President Obama's Recovery Act begins to fade away.
"The fiscal situation for states going into 2011 will still be worse than before the recession," Scott Pattison, executive director of the National Association of State Budget Officers, said in a press conference.
Tax collections should rise as the economy recovers, he said. "We're projecting a 3.9 percent increase" in the 2011 fiscal year, which for most states begins in July. But that still leaves about 32 states facing budget gaps that collectively total $62 billion. Those will need to be closed largely with spending cuts.
Spending a collective $22 billion more next year
Overall, the governors hope to spend $635 billion for the year collectively, up from $613 billion in the 2010 fiscal year. But it was $687 in fiscal 2008. They are seeking $3 billion in net tax hikes, down from $24 billion in 2010, according to the report.
With Recovery Act funds running out, the governors have asked Congress to approve $23 billion to help states pay for their share of the Medicaid program for poor Americans.
President Obama on Monday said a "fragile" economy warrants additional stimulus efforts, including for aid for state and local education programs.
"We have to work with state and local governments to make sure they have the resources to prevent the likely layoffs of hundreds of thousands of public school teachers across the country over the next few months," Mr. Obama said in a speech at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Public wants fiscal restraint
At the same time, in an election year and the aftermath of a recession, Obama and state governors are feeling pressure from a tax-wary electorate to show fiscal restraint.
That helps explain why tax hikes faded from the menu of options as governors introduced their 2011 budgets.
Longer term, states will confront challenges such as deferred infrastructure needs, rebuilding retiree trust funds, and replenishing so-called rainy-day funds.
Still, Mr. Pattison predicts that the fiscal problems won't result in a bond default by any states, and many outside analysts agree.
"The risk posed by the most fiscally challenged US states does not match events unfolding in the Eurozone," spawned by the Greek debt crisis, Goldman Sachs economist Alec Phillips said in a recent report.

This is a story with some glimpses from my professional life. I hope it gives you a picture of who I am and what I do.
I've been working with NAV since the very beginning in Sweden. In 1997 I took my first training on Navision 1.10. Back in those days we tried to convince the customers that "less is more". Navision was really just a foundation, a toolbox. It had some basic ledger functionality and some rudimentary inventory and sales & purchase functionality but you really had to build a lot on your own in each project. Much has happened since then, and I am really impressed that the foundation still remains and works so well. The legacy still remains and that in a good way!
The last years I've been working with an add-on for Transport Administration called LogTrade Connect. To me it's amazing that it's possible to support users from version 5.0 (and even older in some cases) up NAV2015 on pretty much the same code base. Code written for a version released in 2007 can, with a few modifications, be used in the Role Tailored Client and on the web. That gives me a lot of confidence looking forward. Both mine and my customers investments has been protected. Like many other people working with NAV I'm kind of addicted to this and will probably continue working with NAV for a very long time.
My biggest strengths are probably in design. I do a lot of development and integrations also, but the real fun is to build a really solid structure. Understanding business needs has always come easy to me and the NAV application is my backyard, so translating Customer needs to a solid NAV design is my number one. I believe in aligning to standard NAV principles. Both users and developers should recognize the patterns. I also believe in avoiding change in standard NAV. When working with design you can choose if you should add and change in standard objects or find another way to solve your problem. The add-on LogTrade Connect for example, is a big solution (+250 objects) with a lot of integration to standard NAV, but still no (zero!) changes in standard objects. My partners can simply import the objects in the customer database and be up and running in a very short time. I have developed many integrations using the same design philosophy and I have experienced myself how easy the upgrades to later versions has been compared to if I would have changed a lot in standard objects.
Since 2011 I'm freelancing. Besides acting as an ISV with LogTrade Connect working together with all major NAV resellers in Sweden I'm doing consulting.
The last three years I have been working with a global company selling digital ad's through their music streaming service for non paying customers. It has been a very challenging task handling integrations, data warehouse for analyzing 30+ companies and custom functionality in NAV for revenue tracking and invoicing. All this together with a very rapid growth on a global market.
Another customer that I have had the pleasure to work with since 2002 use NAV to sell both hardware and their own built security software. Little did we know back in 2002 how much of their business we would be able to support in NAV 10 years later! They really made the right decision back then. Today their security products calls home to NAV (where the license was sold and coinfigured) to activate and decide which functionality that shall be available. They are now also moving into the cloud and NAV will follow also there. Now we track usage based on minutes and seconds and charge the customers based on the actual usage of the products. To achieve all this we have used a lot of web services for communication with other back end systems.
Recently I upgraded a 5.0 solution to 2013R2. This is for a hotel chain in Sweden running hotels under many different brands. This leads to that we have to integrate with many different front end systems. Having built the integrations over the years hardly without touching standard NAV the integrations were no hazzle to upgrade. Pretty much all the code was reusable and all that was needed was some pages instead of forms. It would have been even easier upgrading to NAV2015 with the new data conversion tools in CU1 for NAV2015!
Besides this I enjoy my life in Umeå in the nothern part of Sweden. Umeå is a "lagom" big city and life is easy here. It's also a very vibrant city with a big university, many cultural institutions, Swedens most nothern opera house and much more. 2014 Umeå has been the European Capital of Culture. You should really come and visit! We have plenty of space here 🙂

Star's design and technology class at school had to design and make a balancing toy, using various woodwork and metalwork techniques. This was the end result she brought home. For some reason known only to herself she went for a McDonalds theme:
The balanced M is metal, the red pole plastic dipped wood, and the rest wood. The yellow M was tricky, and took some kind of special saw (I forget the name).
Very creative, I thought. And original. Star is nothing if not original!

How to Tell the Difference Between Detachment and Indifference
Explore this Article Steps Ask a Question Related Articles
wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has also been viewed 8,519 times. Learn more...
Often people confuse detachment with indifference. Why is it important to tell the difference? Because they are completely different states of mind. Detachment is about letting go of attachment for the sake of a possibly improved situation, whereas indifference often implies apathy and/or feeling helpless. Hopefully this article will cover this in more detail.
1Consider some common situations where detachment makes sense. For example: When baking a cake it often pays to wait until it's out of the oven and has a chance to cool off before trying to eating it. When at work it's important to take a moment before sending off a potentially offensive email. Another example is not eating that extra portion of food when you are dieting and should be watching your calories.
- Obviously these examples are simple because we know that there is a payoff in controlling our temporary emotions, or delaying our gratification but that's to illustrate that detachment makes sense. We can't always think clearly so it pays to be detached at those times.
2Consider the following situations where detachment is critical. For example a surgeon who is operating on a patient in a life or death situation and doesn't want to make a mistake. Another example is a judge who's decision will affect the outcome of a case and will ultimately effect someone's life for better or worse. A scientist may want to test an experimental drug that will affect possibly millions. Obviously these are extreme situations but it just goes to show detachment is extremely necessary at all levels.
3Try finding some examples in your own life where detachment paid off in a positive or productive way. It could have been something big or small. Maybe you can think of situations where you were too emotionally attached and could have been more detached. The point is not only to see just how necessary it is, but also how beneficial detachment is in our every day lives.
4Take closer look at indifference and apathy. For example an employee who doesn't perform at their best while at work. They may treat customers rudely or do a poor job on tasks leaving it for someone else to fix. We all have encountered these kind of people. Maybe they just don't seem to care and it effects others negatively. They probably receive lots of complaints before something is done. Why do they do it? Perhaps out of a sense of helplessness or as simple as being in a bad mood in that moment.
- A long term example of indifference could be a marriage or relationship which has lost it's joy and vitality. In that sense all parties may have given up on excitement and growth and have generally settled for safety. This is not to say the outcome is ultimately bad, but perhaps loss of hope, and fear of the unknown are keeping people stuck on life support.
5Consider times when you may have been indifferent. Maybe you were pressured into doing something you didn't want but did it reluctantly anyway. Whatever the case, we all have experienced varying degrees of indifference at times.
6Hopefully this has brought clarity, but now lets consider gray areas. Sometimes it's very necessary to be detached but it's not always clear when or when not to be.
- For example if someone asks you or pressures you into an idea you don't feel comfortable with, you may need to say no. However some people may not accept no for an answer. They may attempt to persuade you into agreement by appealing to your emotions. By playing on your guilt, your fear, or your ego they can leverage you into decisions you may not want to make. For this reason it's important to understand the usefulness of detachment.
7Consider gray area examples where decisions are not always simple. That's when detachment could pay off for you. It could be a family member, friend, sales person, charity group or anyone who asks you to give something you don't want to give. In fact that person pressuring you could be you. It's ultimately up to you to make a decision, or not. But your decision may not always be comfortable in the short term.
- It could be a situation where you have to wait through negativity before you see positive changes, or it may be walking away from someone who manipulates you. Detachment says, "I am not deciding on this right now." "I am standing by my decision". "Let's wait and see." Indifference says, "what's the use." "who cares." "Game over man." Etc...

- It's important to practice detachment but also enjoy life. The better you get at detachment the easier it will be to know when and when not to be.
- Remember that detachment is not about giving up. It's about not letting the here and now make up your mind.
- We are constantly exposed to new and unfamiliar situations in life. Detachment can help us think clearly and stay focused going into the unknown.
- It's up to you to determine when detachment is necessary and how much.
- You can always change your mind. Detachment is only there to keep your emotions from clouding your focus -- not to turn you into a mindless robot. You don't have to be rigid to be detached. It's only a tool for your benefit, not a permanent stronghold.
- Find your own good role models for detachment. Consider the athlete who clears her mind before the game, an astronaut who checks systems before takeoff, a therapist who helps his patience by not getting involved in their stories, spiritual people, etc.
- Many people may accuse you of being indifferent when you are being detached. Just remember that detachment focuses on mental clarity and improvement whereas indifference is a state of helplessness. Detachment also comes naturally to us in many situations.
- Sometimes these words are used interchangeably. Ultimately it doesn't matter the words you choose, as it's more about your state of mind.

Romance On The Internet...
Knowing the dangers of the Internet
Just as in virtually all other aspects of life, there are persons who will use the Internet as a means to pursue criminal enterprise, some of which may be personally hazardous to other users. Our purpose in presenting this information is to make users aware of the possibility of criminal application and to foster the same type of healthy caution which we encourage all citizens to observe in their daily lives.
The Internet is a venue through which people otherwise extraordinarily distant and diverse may communicate with convenience. "Meeting" people on the Internet as correspondents is very easy; discerning any real information about these new acquaintances is more difficult.
Whether you are meeting people through HTML/VRML links, MOO/MUSH/MUD sites, commercial dial-up services, commercial or free chat lines, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels, online dating services, newsgroups, or in other ways, you should be aware of the possible dangers of interaction when it turns in a personal direction.
While danger from such links may not be readily apparent, consider that the persons with whom you are communicating:
Depending upon how you connect, your
communication with a perfectly legitimate person may be seen or intercepted by a third
party with much different motives.
Report Problems
If you experience problems when communicating on the net, especially conduct or language which you find threatening or offensive, contact the service provider, whether commercial or non-profit. Copy any contact information you have on the problem person, including email or other account/name/address information obtained (including the "finger" or other "who is" information your connection client may be able to provide).
Most commercial service providers will furnish written instructions for reporting this type of problem. On the IRC, you can report the problem to your "OP" or to one of the OP channels. If you cannot get the provider to correct the problem or intervene satisfactorily, consider changing to another provider who will deal effectively with such matters.
Be aware of how to use the "twit-list" feature of your mail, chat or other connectivity software. Many mail browsers and IRC programs allow you to simply filter out mail or messages from a list of users you specify (often referred to as a "twit list"). They can talk, but you don't have to listen.
Tips For Your Safety
Here are some basic personal safety tips you should consider whenever participating in Internet communication, particularly of a personal nature:
Practice safe net; Insist that someone you've met on the net provide a dependable means for reference-checking before you consider meeting in person?
Predators on the net thrive on the anonymity of the interface. Find a way to positively identify your potential romantic partner before you allow a meeting. Where do they work? Can you call them at work? Where do they live and what is their telephone number?
If you choose to arrange a meeting, make it on YOUR terms:
Limit meetings to public places until you are comfortable with the other person and certain of who they are what they want from the relationship.
The net is very much like your community; the majority of the population are good people who do their best to obey the rules and behave responsibly. But, also very much as in your community, there are potential offenders mixed in the population. Observe the same precautions on the net you do in everyday life; be aware of the possibilities, and take appropriate steps to avoid situations you know are dangerous.
As you seek friends, or romance, on the net, good luck! But let's be careful out there, okay?
A special note about children and the net:
If you have young children in the household, and dial-up access to commercial on-line or university-provided Internet services, unsupervised use should not be permitted.
Younger children do not have the sophistication and experience which adults use to recognize potential dangers in email/chat connections. Even though it may make use less convenient, consider using a special boot disk to access dial-up service, a password-protected batch-file, a locking program on the Windows icon, or other means to insure limited access.
Some commerical online providers have features that allow parents to limit a child's access, but it is not an automatic service - you must request the limiting option be activated.
Take positive parental control over your child's access to on-line services!

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. 2017 release. Pure Comedy, Father John Misty's third album, is a complex, often-sardonic, and, equally often, touching meditation on the confounding folly of modern humanity. Father John Misty is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Josh Tillman. Tillman has released two widely acclaimed albums – Fear Fun (2012) and I Love You, Honeybear (2015) – and the recent Real Love Baby single as Father John Misty, and recently contributed to songs by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Kid Cudi. While we could say a lot about Pure Comedy – including that it is a bold, important album in the tradition of American songwriting greats like Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and Leonard Cohen – we think it's best to let it's creator describe it himself. Take it away, Mr. Tillman: Pure Comedy is the story of a species born with a half-formed brain. The species' only hope for survival, finding itself on a cruel, unpredictable rock surrounded by other species who seem far more adept at this whole thing (and to whom they are delicious), is the reliance on other, slightly older, half-formed brains. This reliance takes on a few different names as their story unfolds, like love, culture, family, etc. Over time, and as their brains prove to be remarkably good at inventing meaning where there is none, the species becomes the purveyor of increasingly bizarre and sophisticated ironies. These ironies are designed to help cope with the species' loathsome vulnerability and to try and reconcile how disproportionate their imagination is to the monotony of their existence. Something like that. Pure Comedy was recorded in 2016 at the legendary United Studios (Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Beck) in Hollywood, CA. It was produced by Father John Misty and Jonathan Wilson, with engineering by Misty's longtime sound-person Trevor Spencer and orchestral arrangements by renowned composer/double-bassist Gavin Bryars (known for extensive solo work, and work with Brian Eno, Tom Waits, Derek Bailey).

LA Divine, Cold War Kids most expansive and ambitious effort so far, pays tribute to Los Angeles in all it's strange glory, embodying the Long Beach-bred band s endless fascination with their adopted hometown. In many ways, LA is the least divine city, the most hedonistic and irreverent and disconnected from history, says Nathan Willett. "LA's so massive, I feel like I'm always finding something new in it," adds bassist Matt Maust. "It's an incredibly weird place, and I'm happy to have made an album that totally honors that weirdness." Includes the single 'Love Is Mystical.' Forming in 2004 in Fullerton, the band's early releases came from independent record label Monarchy Music. In 2006, Cold War Kids signed with Downtown/V2 and released their major label debut Robbers & Cowards to cult appeal from fans and critics. 2008's Loyalty to Loyalty and 2011's Mine Is Yours saw the band develop different musical sounds and lyrical content throughout. In 2013, Cold War Kids released their fourth album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. The band then released their fifth album Hold My Home in 2014.
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Whiteout Conditions is the follow-up to 2014's Brill Bruisers. 'Cohesive.' It's a word New Pornographers founder A.C. Newman still sounds a little bit surprised to say as he describing the band's seventh album, Whiteout Conditions. It's a quality that you wouldn't necessarily intuitively associate with a so-called supergroup that, by it's very collective nature, seems bound to have a good deal of stylistic variance built into the formula (or lack of it). Can an outfit built on the appeal of multiple frontmen and frontwomen develop a signature sound after all? Maybe, and maybe better late than never. The focus on Whiteout Conditions (The New Pornographers' first album on their own imprint, Collected Works Records, in partnership with Concord Records) comes down to a couple of notable shifts: increased tempos, for one, and increasingly blended vocals, for another. There are fewer extended solo lead vocal turns by any of the band members and more choral effects or interplay between the men and women in the group. If you're of a certain age, you might start thinking of them as an indie-rock Mamas and the Papas, or… 'I'll take that,' Newman says, 'but the Fifth Dimension is always the one we're going for, way more than the Mamas and the Papas! I hesitate to throw out catchphrases that might be repeated back to me a thousand times, but at the beginning of this record, there was some thinking that we wanted it to be like a Krautrock Fifth Dimension. Of course, our mutated idea of what Krautrock is probably doesn't sound like Krautrock at all. But we were thinking: Let s try and rock in a different way.'
Vinyl LP pressing. After the success of Singles and the hundreds of Future Islands shows played in that period, the band began writing new material on the coast of North Carolina, and continued throughout the year in Baltimore before road-testing these songs at a series of secret shows under fake names. Later that year, they traveled to Los Angeles to record with Grammy Award-winning producer John Congleton at the legendary Sunset Sound, where everyone from The Beach Boys to Prince have laid down masterpieces. With string and horn arrangements by Patrick McMinn, The Far Field is the first Future Islands record to feature live drums by Michael Lowry, who joined the band prior to their sensational performance of "Seasons (Waiting On You)" on David Letterman's late night TV show. Blondie's Debbie Harry also makes a guest appearance, in a duet with Herring on penultimate track "Shadows." Across The Far Field's twelve chest-pounding love songs and odes to the road, Future Islands brilliantly expresses the band's central themes they've been exploring for the last decade: that there is power in emotional vulnerability, that one can find a way to laugh and cry in the same breath – and be stronger for it.
Vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve, includes digital download. 2017 release. All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ is the sophomore album from Joey Bada$$. The project features some high profile artists. Joey Bada$$ is coming off the heels of starring in the award-winning TV show Mr. Robot and his single, Devastated being RIAA certified gold. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Joey is a founding member of the hip-hop collective Pro Era, with whom he has released three mixtapes. He released his debut mixtape, 1999, in June 2012 to critical acclaim and recognition, followed by Rejex in September, and Summer Knights on July 1, 2013. His debut studio album, B4. DA. $$, was released January 20, 2015. In July 2016, he made his television debut on the USA Network series Mr. Robot.
Vinyl LP pressing. Directly from Stevie Wonder's string of classic albums, FFF, originally released in 1974, was the follow-up to Innvervisions. It was a #1 hit for several weeks, led by the #1 single 'You Haven't Done Nothin' and 'Boogie On Reggae Woman.' This vinyl re-release features a reproduction of the original collage artwork depicting Stevie's life on original gatefold cover, with full (and, in some cases, corrected) lyrics inside. Winner of three Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. FFF is Wonder's nineteenth album overall, and seventeenth studio album. According to Billboard magazine, it was Wonder's first studio album to top the Pop Albums chart where it remained for two weeks, while it was his third album to top the R&B/Black Albums chart where it spent nine non-consecutive weeks. Subsequent to the epic sweep and social consciousness of Innervisions, this set projected a reflective, decidedly somber tone.] The musical arrangements used in several songs while masterly could be considered sparse in comparison to others among his 1970s masterworks, evident especially in the bleak "They Won't Go When I Go" and understated "Creepin'". While largely a stripped down, more personal sounding record, Wonder had not completely foregone social commentary on the world around him.
Limited triple 180gm red, white and blue colored vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Raymond Scott (1908-1994) was a renowned bandleader, composer and pianist from the 1930s to the 1950s. Many of his playful riffs, originally recorded from 1937 to 1939 by the Raymond Scott Quintette, are genetically encoded in every earthling, having been adapted by Warner Bros. Music director Carl Stalling in over 100 Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons. (These themes were later featured in The Ren and Stimpy Show.) The rediscovery of Scott's original novelty jazz recordings led to a belated reappraisal of Scott's timeless and long forgotten genius in the 1990s. During Scott's career as a popular bandleader, there were reports of an alter ego – inventor, professor in the lab coat, electronic music pioneer. But little of this work received public exposure. That changed in 1997 with a reissue of Scott's 1963 Soothing Sounds for Baby (SSFB) trilogy. These albums, largely overlooked upon their original LP release, contained gentle, all-electronic sonic companions designed to calm and delight infants. In retrospect, however, Scott's pioneering and little-heard explorations of synthesized rhythmic minimalism and low-key ambience foreshadowed the subsequent conjuring of Terry Riley, Phillip Glass, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno. Most of Scott's works were performed on vacuum tube- and transistor-rigged music machines which he designed and built. Now, Music on Vinyl presents a new edition of MRI in a triple LP set, including full track notes, a historical overview, and newly designed covers. The package contains an 8-page booklet and printed inner sleeves.
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Guided by Voices' August By Cake is the one hundredth studio album that Robert Pollard has released since 1986's Forever Since Breakfast. To put that in perspective, Bob Dylan has released roughly thirty nine studio albums since 1959. And that includes the Traveling Wilburys. This is a highly anticipated record, which includes the new line-up (returning GBV veterans Doug Gillard and Kevin March, virgins Bobby Bare Jr and Mark Shue) that has been wowing audience in clubs and festivals throughout 2016. It's the most musically adept and versatile line-up Pollard has ever assembled. With thirty two songs, this album is also GBV's first ever double album, and song contributions from all five band members is additional icing on the cake, setting album #100 apart from the previous 99. The double album is an important format in Pollard's own musical iconography, and he doesn't take the form lightly – one reason he's planned and abandoned several would-be GBV double albums in the past is his high regard for foundational works like Quadrophenia, the White Album, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Daydream Nation, Zen Arcade, Double Nickels On the Dime – "defining records for these bands," says Pollard. It's important to him that August By Cake not just be a double album but that it be a great one.
Vinyl LP pressing. Silver/Lead is the 15th studio album from musical pioneers Wire. It arrives on the 40th anniversary of their debut performance. Yet it's about as far from nostalgia as you could get. This is the sound of a uniquely addictive 21st century psychedelic post-punk. Colin Newman and Matt Simms' guitar work is alternately jagged and luminous, while bassist Graham Lewis's ear-catching lyrics are vivid yet oblique. Meanwhile, drummer Robert Grey provides a virtual masterclass in percussive minimalism. But it's how the various instruments mesh together that really counts. And Newman's production creates a sonic space in which even the smallest gesture is accorded some recognition. Highlights include the optimistic dazzle of 'Diamonds In Cups', with it's almost T. Rex-style buzz and chug, and the moody swing of 'This Time'. Elsewhere on the musical spectrum, there's the menacing widescreen grandeur of 'Playing Harp for the Fishes' and breakneck-paced guitar pop of 'Short Elevated Period.'
Vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve, includes digital download. Timber Timbre's music has always traced a shadowed path, using cues of the past to fuse the sound of a distant, haunted now. It's fourth record – Sincerely, Future Pollution – is the cinema of a dazzling dystopia, rattled by the science fiction of this bluntly nonfictional time. Taylor Kirk and co-composers Mathieu Charbonneau and Simon Trottier, together with drummer Olivier Fairfield, offer their most daring artistic work yet. With the palette of archetypal synthesizers at La Frette studio outside Paris, the long-time collaborators took a unique approach to Timber Timbre's characteristic sonic invention. The first single – "Sewer Blues" – is an ironclad groove marked by plodding, heavy rhythm, cavernous delay, and a backdrop of starry synthesizers. Sincerely, Future Pollution is a romance of neoteric machines and dark, futuristic hues, with promise as beautiful as it is unsettling. Covering a spectrum of New Age to Popular French Disco Revival, the sound is synthetic, exotic, yet familiar, with Kirk's chilling croon and the mid-apocalyptic setting of his poetry. This is Timber Timbre's document of our generation's degeneration and disarray: Signed and sealed / Sincerely, The Pollution.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2017 release form the alt-country singer/songwriter. The album was self-produced and recorded in the spring of 2016 at Tweed Studios in Oxford, MS with a tight three piece: Branan on lead vocals and guitar (both electric and acoustic), Robbie Crowell (formerly of Deer Tick) on drums and percussion, keys, and horns, and James "Haggs" Haggerty on bass. Additionally, Amanda Shires contributes on fiddle and vocals, and Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! And Dave Hause provide guest vocals. Cory Branan has four previous full-length releases: The Hell You Say (2002), 12 Songs (2006), Mutt (2012), and The No-Hit Wonder (2014). His music has received critical praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and Rolling Stone Country, NPR All Things Considered, Noisey, Wall Street Journal, Paste Magazine, Oxford American, Consequence of Sound, Southern Living, and many others.
Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. I've always been tied to the idea of having each record sound different from the one before it, and there's no exception with this one. My writing on this one is really reflective of the story that I've been living out over the past few years-as a musician, a father, and a human trying to navigate this crazy world. It's also the stories that we all share: the everyday stuff, and the big stuff. As always, I poured my heart into these songs. When I came across the opportunity to link up with an internationally acclaimed producer who I have long admired, I knew he would be able to add some deep mojo to the recordings. Matt Ross-Spang (Grammy-Winning engineer of Jason Isbell's Something More Than Free, one of my favorite records of last year) is a musical Willy Wonka, and his Chocolate Factory is the legendary Sam Phillips Studio in Memphis, TN. This place has an unmatched soul and a vibe that stems from the history of Memphis as a haven for many of my musical heroes. I'm incredibly honored and excited to have worked with Matt and the team at Sam Phillips to make this record the best that it can be. -Sean Rowe
What If – HAUSCHKA / Since 2004, Volker Bertelmann – aka Hauschka – has, steadily earned a remarkable reputation as a purveyor of imaginative, distinctive, prepared piano music. On What If – which finds him adding player pianos (also known as pianolas) to his arsenal – Bertelmann expands his range even further, defying expectations and delivering what is without a doubt his most ingenious album yet. While engaging with his trademark technique of utilizing unusual objects – art erasers, for example – to treat (or 'prepare') the piano, Hauschka also programmed parts for player pianos, exploiting the speed at which they could play, manipulating the resulting sounds, and building layers to emphasize a composition's meter. What If aims to provoke reflection beyond the musical sphere with the titles of the both the album and it's individual tracks. Overflowing with haunting melodies, mysterious sounds, and complex patterns, What If crowns an extraordinary couple of years for Hauschka. Likely to prove one of 2017's most original albums, What If redefines the very notion of piano music in dramatic and exceptional fashion. It stands as a rebuttal to those who lazily shoehorn Hauschka's work into the so-called, uncomfortably broad 'new classical' category, and instead underlines his status as a unique and invaluable artist.
LP version. Nouvelle vague is a mythical movement that redefined France's canons, not only in film but also music. A time – the late '50s and early '60s – when all the young musicians broke free from the older generation and created their own movement drawing from a large palette of influences. From jazz and soundtracks to bossa nova, folk and cha cha, this set brings you the unique sound of French pop during the nouvelle vague years. Featuring sophisticated pop songs by Serge Gainsbourg, Francoise Hardy, and Claude Nougaro as well as the crème of nouvelle vague soundtracks – including The 400 Blows (1959), Breathless (1960), Lola (1961), Cleo From 5 To 7 (1962) – and a cool mix of rare tracks by Rita Cadillac (an ex of Alain Delon), Christiane Legrand, and the jazz vocal groups Les Blue Stars. Tune up to the cool French sounds of the nouvelle vague – pop, mambo, cha cha, jazz, bossa nova with a French touch. The 40 track compilation comes with an essay, with track-by-track analysis, from French journalist Jacques Denis. Vol. 2 LP features: Dario Moreno, Brigitte Bardot, Sacha Distel, Boris Vian, Miles Davis, Magali Noel, Leo Ferre, Jacqueline Dano, Les Blue Stars, Georges Delerue, Marie Laforet, Franck Barcellini, Christiane Legrand, Martial Solal, Serge Gainsbourg, Dalida, Corinne Marchand, and Rita Cadillac.
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Long out of print Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to the controversial Larry Clark directed/Harmony Korine written 1995 film Kids about New York City teenagers navigating the worlds of sex and drugs during the height of the AIDS epidemic. The classic alt-rock soundtrack was overseen by Lou Barlow and features eight songs by his group Folk Implosion including hit single "Natural One," plus further tunes from Barlow's Sebadoh and disparate artists like Daniel Johnston, Slint and Lo-down.
Vinyl LP pressing. XO is the fourth studio album by singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. It was recorded from 1997 to 1998 and released on August 25, 1998 by record label DreamWorks; Smith's first solo album on a major record label. Two singles, "Waltz #2 (XO)" and "Baby Britain", were released. An early working title for the album was Grand Mal. The title of the first track, "Sweet Adeline", was inspired by Smith's recollections of his grandmother singing in her glee club, Sweet Adelines International. "Amity" is believed to be named after a friend who can be seen in photographs from Smith's 1997 tour. XO was well received by critics upon it's release. Mark Richardson of Pitchfork Media wrote, "Smith's songwriting continues to improve, as each of [the album's] fourteen tracks displays his inarguable mastery of the pop song structure more clearly than ever." In it's retrospective review, BBC Music wrote, "the budget might have gone up, but Smith's masterful way with an understated melody and melancholic lyric remained firmly intact", calling XO "perhaps the greatest long-player Smith released; if not, it's certainly the equal of the preceding Either/Or. Repeat listens don't dull it in the slightest, every barbed one-liner and exhalation of despair perfectly preserved".
Double vinyl LP pressing. Figure 8 is the fifth studio album by Elliott Smith, and the final album he completed before his death. It was recorded from 1998 to 2000 at numerous studios and released on April 18, 2000 through DreamWorks Records. Preceded by the singles "Happiness" and "Son of Sam", Figure 8 was Smith's second release on a major label. Initially titled Place Pigalle, Figure 8 was recorded at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, Sonora Studios in Los Angeles, Capitol Studios in Hollywood and Abbey Road Studios in London. Smith described the songs on the album as "more fragmented and dreamlike". With Figure 8, Smith attempted to create "a happy-sounding record."

Marlon Brando.
Maybe I'm the only one that hears The Godfather when his name comes up? Or think of him singing and dancing in Guys and Dolls? Or, infamously, the captain in Mutiny on The Bounty? Yet, there was so much about Marlon Brando. He was a painfully private man, even although he was one of the most influential stars in Hollywood. So how did it come to be that someone so private would end up serving publicly during the Civil Rights Movement?
Marlon Brando was a deep thinking man that kept a careful eye on the equal rights of all people, so much so that he refused the Oscar he won for The Godfather. Why? Because he had grown tired with how the film industry had treated Native Americans. Turning down the award wasn't something he took lightly. Before The Godfather, Brando had been suffering in Hollywood. Many directors refused to work with him and thought he was difficult and tired. After his role in Mutiny of The Bounty, the critics crucified him. The Godfather was his comeback on the silver screen and he delivered. So refusing the Oscar wasn't no small thing. It was a huge statement, and one that some believe forced Hollywood to reevaluate the role in which Native Americans were given and portrayed on screen.
In 1963, Brando boarded a plane with many other A-lister stars to fly out to Washington and join Martin Luther King Jr. in his march. He appeared with Sydney Poitier, Paul Newman, Charlton Hesten, Burt Lancaster and Joanne Woodward, among others.
Again, this was no small matter. You have to remember that during that time, Hollywood leading men and women were trying to avoid political press. The anti-communist movement was in full swing and being called into court and possibly convicted meant jail time and a ruined career. Yet, according to Susan Mizruchi (a Brando biographer), "He modeled a kind of social activism – the idea that actors were obligated in some sense to use their fame to help others." And so he did.
It is heartbreaking that much of the reflections of Marlon Brando conjure up a fat man that womanized, over drank, had a massive ego, a dysfunctional family and a love of a big paycheck. There was more to the man. There was something very good and useful—something I hope we all aspire to. To wrap this short highlight and time hop up, Mizurchi said in her book, "I think that he believed [not only] that actors had to be citizens of the planet, but everyone had to be. I would say that one of my big discoveries was that Brando was someone with a big conscience. He was a really moral man."

TCS-68 v1.3.0 AAX VST VST3 WiN x64 CE-V.R12 July 2018
TCS-68 v1.3.0 WiN x64
TEAM V.R | 12 July 2018 | 6.16 MB
(Win64; AAX*, VST3, VST)
TCS-68, an audio effect that pays homage to one of the most iconic cassette tape based 8-track recorders. The TCS-68 cassette tape channel effect includes a faithful recreation of the preamp, the tape system and the EQ. The original unit comprised a powerful 10-channel mixer that included a simple 3-band EQ, mic and line inputs as well as insert loops for each channel, an 8-track recorder with an advanced noise reduction system and a clearly arranged meter bridge. Given that it used compact cassettes as a recording medium it's obvious that it was far from high fidelity sounding and thus aimed at semiprofessional users and smaller studios.
The goal when creating the TCS-68 was to do justice to the original sound. So the preamp, the tape system and the EQ have been faithfully recreated.

This past weekend, the security check-lines for the inaugural Moonrise Festival — which took place on Saturday and Sunday at Pimlico Race Course — looked like a sea of tie-dye, furry boots, baggy pants and T-shirts emblazoned with various DJ logos.
Security checks and pat-downs were predictably extensive following the recent deaths of two attendees at the electronic dance music (EDM) concert Mad Decent Block Party at Merriweather Post Pavilion earlier this month. Festival-goers were asked to remove shoes, empty pockets and open bags prior to entering the event. These extra measures which were applauded by festival performers such as Bassnectar, Carnage and Excision.
Providing free drinking water and places to cool off was another priority for organizers, as many of the illnesses at music festivals are attributed to over-heating. Free water and misting stations were packed all weekend, which allowed ravers to stay cool and refreshed. The Solar Dance tent was also a fan favorite as it provided shade, as well as a place to sit and rest your legs.
The festival's four stages — Solar Dance, Lunar, Celestial Garden and Stellar — were separated by modern art installations. Painted canvases were elevated and supported by talented dancers while two tall, open-ended yellow, blue, and green structures created a skyline and served as a popular meeting location. The stages were not massive with complex designs, but simple and easy on the eye, which seemed to indicate this gathering was geared toward the musical experience over everything else.
The Vendor Village was among the most surprising aspects of Moonrise. Electronic dance music-driven brands like NGHTBRND, Electric Family, Bad Kids Collective and EatSleepRaveBra occupied small tents that offered goods such as backpacks, bracelets, hats and body jewelry. The village pulled a constant flow of consumers and served as a relaxing break from soaring synth bars and mind-numbing basslines that wafted throughout the festival grounds.
The weekend was also full of animated performances from some of the most popular groups in electronic dance music. Among the memorable sets:
Slander set the tone for the entire festival. The duo of Derek Anderson and Scott Land played their set just as the festival started to pack in around 2 p.m. Saturday. Their stage presence was undeniable, and their instrumental-based style hyped up the sea of ravers at the Stellar Stage. It set the tone for the entire weekend. They closed their time slot with a new production titled "Rave Friends."
Bro Safari would be more enjoyable without a hypeman. I understand the obvious role a hypeman plays in electronic dance music, though, sometimes I wonder if they are necessary. The music itself is adrenaline-pumping and a hypeman more or less takes away from the experience by pushing that "hype" factor over the top. I found Bro Safari's MC very distracting and could have done without him.
Kaskade knows how to create an atmosphere. The voice of EDM, Ryan Raddon (who's known to most as Kaskade) proved his ability to effortlessly create and change the atmosphere of his sets at Moonrise. He played a cut of Justice's "We are Friends" before eventually gearing his musical journey toward Porter Robinson's "Lionhearted." His vocal edits were clean and party-rocking. I constantly found myself singing along one minute and uncontrollably dancing the next.
Adventure Club's set was dampened by low volume. During most of weekend, sound levels were at the perfect volume. The bass was not overpowering, and the mid- and high-frequencies worked together for a clean mixture of waves. But that was not the case when this widely known Canadian duo took the stage.
Their track selections were some of my favorites of the weekend, but the poor volume levels dampened the set significantly. I was center stage, about 30 people back from the stage, and could hear what my neighbors were buzzing about very clearly. I wasn't expecting to be blown out by gigantic kick drums, but the low volume made it hard to stay into their performance. The most memorable moment of their set came when Yasmine Yousaf of Krewella made an onstage appearance. The crowd certainly appreciated her presence.
Crnkn, Djemba Djemba and Mr. Carmack overran the Celestial Garden stage. On Sunday, a lot of festival attendees seemed to roll in around 2:30 p.m., and they didn't make it far from the entrance before Crnkn drew their attention with his deep, pluck-y synth jabs and percussive elements. From 2-5 p.m., I found myself immersed in the sounds of Crnkn, Djemba Djemba and Mr. Carmack — the triple threat of this event. Hardly anyone left the small Celestial Garden stage before the conclusion of these acts. After Crnkn finished, Djemba dished out a slew of Jersey Club and trap selections before Mr. Carmack took us far left with Kendrick Lamar records. I specifically remember the energy of the crowd when Carmack subtly mixed in "Pay (For What)," one of his original productions. The bleep-y, 808-drum infused work boasts a "lean with it, rock with it" swagger that triggered a chilling roar from the crowd as the first climax slammed the airwaves.
Sander van Doorn should go back to his roots. At a point in time, Sander van Doorn was one of the most unique electro-trance names in EDM. Singles like "Drink to Get Drunk, "Riff" and "Nothing Inside" separated him from the rest of the scene. But in recent years, Sander has subscribed to the extremely simple, big-room electro-house style, just like many other artists. His productions have more or less stayed the same, but his DJ sets have changed dramatically. It seems his focus has shifted to big drops, triplet-styled patterns and crowd pleasing. I was only disappointed because it lacked a lot of his own original creations. It would be outstanding to hear reinvented edits and cuts of older SvD records, especially when you're going to see a SvD set.
Bassnectar stole the show. As many expected, Bassnectar completely demolished Moonrise and closed out the festival properly. He played classics mixed with new productions from his recent album, "Noise Vs. Beauty." This was, without a doubt, a standout performance for first-timers because it offered a stunning visual journey to compliment the chaotic sound waves. "808 Track," "Pink Elephants" and "Put It Down" rattled the hearts of seasoned bassheads (an affectionate name given to Bassnectar fans), while inspiring new fans to become educated on everything related to Bassnectar. Right before 11 p.m., security turned on large floodlights as a sign to find the exit.
That effort didn't completely stop the party, though, as ravers used every second they could to continue dancing. The entire festival called for an encore that never came, before transitioning their chant into "USA, USA, USA." An eventful weekend had come to an end.
