I've always been somewhat of a fan of Jenny McCarthy, since the days she hosted Singled Out on MTV (isn't it about a time for a comeback for that show, btw?). Though she makes me cringe and has been involved in plenty of controversy, I usually find myself rooting for her because she's bold, ballsy, and pretty freaking hilarious most of the time. So when it comes to the ex-Playboy bunny's new late night talk show, The Jenny McCarthy Show, set to premiere Feb. 8 on VH1, I'm hoping for the best ... as odd as it all sounds.
Yesterday she told reporters that she's looking to establish a "party atmosphere". She says she plans to garner inspiration from Hugh Hefner's old Playboy After Dark show and wants to bring a whole lot of sexiness to American television screens.
According to Yahoo!, one feature will be the "groundbreaking interview," in which the guests and McCarthy will both be lying on the ground while they chat. Which could be ... interesting, I suppose. She told reporters this weekend:
I've found by doing this, which I've tested - on Bradley Cooper - it works quite well. There's just something that [happens where] the celebrity kind of lets go and has a little bit more of a conversational tone. It's not so scripted."
Another segment being touted is a game called "Drunk, Dumb or Both," in which she stands outside a bar and asks men questions such as, "what color is a red boat? I suppose that could be hilarious, but I fear it all may be a little too gimmicky.
Frankly, I think Jenny just being herself and interviewing people sitting in regular old chairs could be outrageous and entertaining enough. So I hope she doesn't try too hard.
But you know what? Late night TV as it is hasn't been working that great for quite sometime. So maybe this kind of thing could spice things up on Friday nights. I'm curious enough that I'll definitely be tuning in to see how it all goes down.
Will you watch Jenny McCarthy's new late night show?

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today thanked the Abel family and other donors for their contributions toward renovating the historic Hazel Abel Park at 18th and "E" streets. The $230,000 project was mostly funded by donations from the Abel Foundation, the Lincoln Parks Foundation and the Lincoln Cares program.
In 1982, Alice Abel led the development of the park as a tribute to her mother Hazel Hempel Abel and as gift to the residents of Lincoln. Alice had donated the land for the park in 1969 and selected many of the park features, including the ornate wrought iron fence and gates, the renaissance-style gazebo and the antique baroque cherub fountain.
"When this 'little jewel park' needed updating, the Abel family was there again to make sure this gift would keep on giving to the community for years to come," Beutler said. "With their help and the help of others, we have preserved this unique setting in an amazing neighborhood for future generations to enjoy."
The project included the restoration of the park's signature features — the fountain, ornamental lighting, fence and gates. The elephant topiaries were recreated in a permanent sculpture. The playground is now accessible to children of all abilities. Overgrown hedges were removed from the perimeter to improve safety, and additional hard surfaces were added near the gazebo for events. The park also has updated plantings and new benches. The renovation was mostly completed last fall, and final touches were added in the spring.
Hazel Abel graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1908 and had successful careers in education and business. She was active in many civic and statewide organizations and was particularly interested in education, politics, philanthropy and youth. She also has the distinction of being the first woman from Nebraska elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. In 1954, she completed the term of Dwight Griswold, who died in office. Alice Abel was one of five children born to Hazel and George P. Abel. Like her mother, she also was actively involved in many civic and philanthropic organizations with particular interest in the arts and nature.
Mayor Beutler also thanked the City Parks and Recreation Department, the City Urban Development Department, Nemaha Landscape Construction and Jensen Conservation Services for their work on the park.

Students take Sketch Worksheets for a spin during in-class group activity
Maria Chang, Ken Forbus
Northwestern University
Sketching is an excellent tool for communicating ideas and teaching concepts in spatial domains. For this reason, sketching is heavily used in many STEM disciplines. What if we could build software that understood student sketches in the same way a teacher would? What if sketch-understanding software could help students learn? At SILC, we are working toward these goals, by developing CogSketch and Sketch Worksheets.
Last year, we showcased the first launch of Sketch Worksheets in classrooms (Showcase May 2010: Sketch Worksheets go to their first class). Our work continues, and last Spring quarter (2011) Sketch Worksheets were field tested in college geoscience courses at Northwestern University and Carleton College. Since the initial launch of worksheets, we have developed several new features to improve the way the software understands student sketches. We have forged collaborations with UW Madison and Carleton College to develop geoscience sketching exercises that are designed by field experts. To teach students the ins and outs of using CogSketch, we developed built-in tutorials and how to videos that students can access via YouTube.
This year, Sketch Worksheets were used by over 70 students across both schools. At Northwestern University, students used worksheets to complete homework assignments about faults, geological processes and the Earth's carbon cycle. At Carleton College, students used worksheets to complete an in-class activity on plate tectonics. The plate tectonics exercises were completed in groups, with 2-3 students sharing a laptop, sketching interactively and bouncing ideas off of each other. In less than one hour, students in the group activity were able to learn how to use CogSketch and complete an average of 3 worksheets on plate tectonics, despite having never heard of or seen CogSketch before that day.
In both activities, students made use of the Sketch Worksheets tutor, which uses artificial intelligence techniques to provide students with feedback about their sketches. The Sketch Worksheets tutor can be used to let students know if they've made predictable errors in their sketches, so the instructors and TAs can dedicate their time to students who need more complex coaching. With students outnumbering instructors, it is impossible for instructors coach every student all the time. Software tutoring has the potential provide students with some of the on-demand feedback they need, while freeing up time for teachers. The field tests we are conducting and the feedback we are receiving from students, educators and domain experts bring us one step closer to reaching this potential.
CogSketch is publicly available through SILC's website (www.spatiallearning.org). For peer-reviewed publications on CogSketch and Sketch Worksheets, see the following:

Marcellus water agreement put on hold
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg Municipal Authority member Ed Gapinski updated borough council members Monday on the status of the water sales agreement with the Hunt Marcellus Operating Company. The agreement for the municipal authority to sell the Hunt Marcellus Operating Company up to 157,000 gallons of water per day was put on hold last month by the state Department of Environmental Protection [DEP]."We are in trouble with DEP," Gapinski said. "We have outstanding VOCs [Violations of Compliance]. We have a control panel that should be installed at Silver Creek right now."Gapinski noted a member of DEP was scheduled to inspect the installation of the control panel yesterday."If we get the blessing on that, we only have one other ordeal to take care of, which is a chlorine sensor that has to be installed, and once that is installed we are permitted to sell Hunt Marcellus 157,000 gallons of water per day and we get a check to do some upgrades," Gapinski said. "Hopefully by Jan. 1, we will be able to sell them 300,000 gallons per day."The Hunt Marcellus Operating Company is currently purchasing water from the Ridgway Borough."If these wells come in good for everyone here, it's a good thing," Gapinski said. "Everybody says it's a bad thing, but by us selling them water we are keeping the trucks off of the highway because if we don't sell to them, they are just going to haul from somewhere else and everybody is going to be upset."

Toronto Marlies down Chicago Wolves 5-2 to take 1-0 lead in seriesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Toronto Marlies used two power-play goals to grab an early lead, and goalkeeper Drew MacIntyre turned back 37 shots in a 5-2 American Hockey League playoff victory over the Chicago Wolves on Friday.
The Marlies claimed a 1-0 series lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal opener at Allstate Arena.
Centre Trevor Smith opened the scoring with his first goal of the post-season, a power-play goal on a short backhand at 10:54 of the first period.
Toronto converted another power-play chance at 14:55 as centre Peter Holland slipped a backhand over the glove of Wolves goalkeeper Jake Allen.
The teams were at even strength in the second as Greg McKegg scored his second goal of the playoffs at 5:02 with a slap shot for a 3-0 lead.
The Wolves got on the board five minutes later as Christian Hanson dumped a short rebound shot past MacIntyre. Chicago winger Michael Davies cut the deficit to 3-2 at 17:26, beating MacIntyre on a one-on-one.
Toronto restored a two-goal lead at 3:53 of the third period. Winger Carter Ashton slipped while shooting but his wide, wobbly shot was deflected off Allen???s stick into the net.
The Marlies closed out the Wolves on Sam Carrick???s fourth post-season goal at 17:19.
The series resumes Saturday in suburban Chicago then shifts to Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum next Wednesday for at least two games, and three if necessary.
The post-season series is the first between the teams since 2008. The Wolves went 4-1 on the way to their most recent Calder Cup.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Manchester United continue to stay one step ahead in the Barclays Premier League title race because they have men who can deliver when the season's decisive moments enter "money time".
United moved five points clear of rivals Manchester City with victory at Blackburn on Monday night secured by a late double salvo from Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young.
"Manchester United are surprisingly in a comfortable position, no one expected them to be because they did not look absolutely irresistible this year," Wenger said. "You could see that again on Monday night against Blackburn, but they managed to win the game. If Manchester United make it to the title, it is really down to experience."

Difference between revisions of "Caribbean West"
Revision as of 23:43, 18 March 2012
The Caribbean West region of Panama includes all of Bocas del Toro province and Ngöbe-Buglé province as well as the northern portion of Veruguas province.
Other destinations
Bocas del Toro Province is centered around the water. Much of the hinterland of this Province is difficult to access.
Hispanic influence in Bocas del Toro Province is weaker and much more recent than in the rest of Panama. The native Ngöbe and Buglé people still make up a large portion of the population. Descendants of 19th century immigrants from Jamaica make up another large segment of the the population of the Province. These two cultures plus Hispanics from other parts of Panama all give the Province a lively cultural diversity.
English is widely spoken along much of the Central American coast, and Panama is no exception. The locals of Bocas del Toro are descendants of West Africans caught in the slave trade and speak English. One might also notice the mixture of several tongues in the Creole that the natives speak amongst themselves. As in the rest of Central America, note that English is more spoken on the Caribbean side than the Pacific side.
Get in
Option one
From the border in Panama (closes at 6 pm Panamenian Time and 5 pm Costa Rica time as there is a time difference!) you can take a 10 US mini bus to Almirante and a 25 minutes boat from there to Bocas town (4 US$).
Option 2
Take a local Bus to Changuinola and a taxi to the docks and then the 1 hour / 7 US$ boat to Bocas del Toro (town) or a Minibus for 5 US from the border straight to the docks of Changuinola. As of 11/08 the water taxi route has been closed. As of May of 09 there has been no word on reopening this route. All water taxi service is from Almirante.
Option 3
The cheapest way is probably going with the chicken bus (leaves every hour/1 US$) to Changuinola, take a regular bus to Almirante (~1,50 / one hour) and the 4 US$ boat to Bocas del Toro (town)
There are as well several flights into Bocas del Toro (town) from San Jose, Costa Rica and Panama City.
Get around
True to the history of the region, the food of Bocas del Toro has a lot more Caribbean influence than the rest of Panama. For one thing, you will find coconut used a lot more here than in other parts of Panama. While there are places you can find more traditional food (platos típicos), for the most part the majority of restaurants have American style dishes (pastas, pizza, sandwiches, etc...).
Local beers include Balboa, Panama, and Atlas.
For a cheap stay try heading to Mondo Taitu or Heike. It is about $10 a night to stay and the hospitality is amazing. You also get to meet travelers from all over the world including Europe, Israel, US and Canada. They don´t take advance bookings, it is very noisy, not all that clean and not located on the water, but if you are up for a party you will probably have a great time. Another very cheap place, and the hippest hostal and bar, is Aqua Lounge, the only hostal on the water. Located just 1 minute water taxi drive across from Bocas town, in Carenero. Has the best party scene. Several suites have been added right next door to the hostal, for more upscale and roomier sleeping accommodations. About 1/2 mile out of town is La Coralina[6]' it is right on the beach and away from the problems of staying in "town". The owner and chef "Stacey" will make you feel like family and she is hands down the best chef in all the islands. When heading out of town, past La Coralina, just before getting to Bluff Beach is a very reasonably priced Lodge, Tesoro Escondido Eco-Lodge and Cabinas, with 5 rooms in the main lodge and 3 cabinas. They are located right on a bluff overlooking two small but very nice sandy beaches and are steps away from Bluff Beach proper, 7 kilometers of deserted beautiful beach. They have a restaurant and a small bar. Eco-lodge, casual atmosphere. Close to all major surf breaks. For a wonderful out island escape try Hacienda del Toro on Isla San Cristobal, a guest ranch with swimming pool and rest/bar,horses to rent,and kayak with the dolphins. (note in 2009 this place was closed, be sure to check prior to going there). Nearby, Urraca Private Island (http://urracaprivateisland.com/) is perfect if you're looking for paradise and history right in the heart of the Caribbean. This island where Mangroves are surrounded by a green-hued sea, with nourishing marine plant life, phosphorescent waters and protective coral reefs, will offer you a panoramic view of the Cayos Zapatillas, a site much treasured by true lovers of natural beauty.

Allred critical of tax, cuts
BLACKFOOT — Gubernatorial candidate Keith Allred stopped in Blackfoot Thursday to meet supporters and to answer questions from concerned citizens.
The Democratic candidate drew approximately 100 people—from staunch supporters to skeptics—to a meet and greet event Thursday evening.
Allred, who believes in a government by and for the people and not for special interest, said his two priorities are education and reducing the tax burden for Idahoans.
"We can get a more competitive tax structure and still invest in schools by looking at the $2 billion in tax exemptions we have on the books," Allred said.
And by collecting unpaid taxes, Allred believes much of the budget deficit could have been recovered, reducing cuts to education.
"Butch Otter has let tax deadbeats steal textbooks from Idaho kids," Allred said.
The education budget, Allred said, is something that shouldn't and didn't have to be cut.
"Every governor in Idaho's history, through good times and bad, has kept education whole because they understood what a fundamental priority it is," Allred said.
In addition to education, Allred discussed cuts to Health and Welfare, calling the existing system "bureaucratic" and "inefficient."
Citing payment delays from the state's new Medicare payment system Molina and recent reductions in providers by new Medicaid dental payment system DentaQuest, Allred called for increased transparency from the department.
"We need a completely different culture with Health and Welfare," Allred said. "We need major changes there."
Allred believes Molina, which delayed payments to Medicare providers in July, is in violation of its contract. If elected governor, Allred said he will abolish the contract as soon as he is in office.
Allred plans to rely on his experience in conflict resolution to improve the relationship between the state government and the people.
Allred has presided over the Common Interest, a non-partisan citizens group that lobbies to pass legislation representative of a sampling of Idaho residents.
He plans to use the same method to get things done as governor, getting 1,000 individuals from each legislative district to help shape legislation, then using those 35,000 people to lobby their legislators to get the measure passed.
"Now you've got a way of getting it done," Allred said. "If a governor partners with tens of thousands of Idahoans, we can actually work productively with the legislature to get this done."

Number: 111-5
Date: January 29, 2009
Senate Finance Committee Approves
Draft Economic Stimulus Proposal
On January 27, 2009, the Senate Finance Committee approved, by a vote of 14-9, a draft bill to provide for economic stimulus—the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009." The draft bill includes the following provisions of interest to SSA:
Special Payments to Social Security and SSI Beneficiaries
• Would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to provide a one-time economic stimulus payment of $300 to adults who were eligible for benefits from one of the four following Federal benefit programs: Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Veterans Disability, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) -- including all disabled children receiving SSI, but excluding SSI rec ipients who reside in Medicaid-funded treatment facilities . Only individuals who were eligible for benefits under one of the four programs for any of the three months prior to the month of enactment shall receive the special payment. If a Social Security or SSI beneficiary has a representative payee, the special payment would be paid to the payee.
• Would provide that no more than one $300 special payment may be made to an individual. If the individual is also eligible for a "Making Work Pay" credit provided under other provisions of the draft bill, that credit shall be reduced by the special payment, with such adjustment being made through the individual's tax return.
• Would specify that the special payment would be made only to individuals whose address of record is in 1 of the 50 States, the District of Columbia , Puerto Rico, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa , or the Northern Mariana Islands .
• Would provide that the special payment is to be made as soon as practicable after enactment, but not later than 120 days after enactment. In no case would a special payment be made after December 2010. The payment, once made, would be unaffected by any subsequent redetermination concerning entitlement to Social Security or SSI benefits during the three-month period.
• Would provide that an individual would not receive the special payment if his or her Social Security or SSI benefits have been suspended because he or she is in prison, a fugitive felon, a probation or parole violator, no longer lawfully present in the United States , or his or her benefits have been suspended under the administrative sanctions provision. Also, the special payment would not be made if the individual dies before certification of the payment.
• Would provide that the $300 special payment would not be taken into account as income or taken into account for resources for the month of receipt and the following 9 months, for purposes of determining the eligibility for Federal benefits or federally funded State or local assistance.
• Would provide that the special payment shall not be considered gross income for income tax purposes and that the payments are protected by the assignment and garnishment provisions of the four Federal benefit programs. However, the Department of Treasury could reduce the special payment to offset an existing delinquent Federal debt.
• Would appropriate necessary funds to carry out the provision, including $90 million to SSA for administrative expenses.
Special Disability Workload
• Would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Social Security, to work with the States to reach agreement on a Federal payment for States with Medicare liability due to the Special Disability Workload. Payment would be required no later than three months after enactment.
Health Information Technology
• Would require the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary to implement an ongoing process for the development and adoption of health IT standards (for interoperability and minimum functionality), including the certification of systems as meeting those standards.
• Would invest in the adoption and use of health IT systems by health care providers who serve Medicare and Medicaid patients.
• Would require the Secretary of HHS to adopt measures for determining the meaningful use of a certified HIT system. At minimum, measures would include the use of electronic prescribing technology, the exchange of health information with other providers to help coordinate care, and the reporting of clinical quality measures.
• Beginning in 2011, providers participating in the Medicare program would be eligible for temporary bonus payments if they exhibit to the Secretary that they are meaningfully using a certified HIT system; those who do not eventually meaningfully use certified HIT would not receive full Medicare payments. Hardship exceptions would be available to providers who face significant barriers to adoption, such as limited access to the internet.
• Beginning in 2011, high-volume Medicaid providers would be eligible for a temporary payment to subsidize the adoption, maintenance or upgrade of a certified HIT system.

MP645, Revised September 2009
Blast, also called rotten neck, is one of the most destructive diseases of Missouri rice. Losses due to this disease have been on the increase since 2000. Blast does not develop every year but is very destructive when it occurs.
Rice blast can be controlled by a combination of preventive measures and foliar fungicides applied when rice is in the late boot stage and again when it is 80 to 90 percent headed. Whenever possible, consult an expert in plant disease diagnosis; check with the Delta Center, 573-379-5431, a regional extension agronomist in a county extension center, or the MU Plant Diagnostic Clinic, http://plantclinic.missouri.edu/ in Columbia, 573-882-3019.
Blast symptoms can occur on leaves, leaf collars, nodes and panicles. Leaf spots are typically elliptical (football shaped), with gray-white centers and brown to red-brown margins (Figure 1). Fully developed leaf lesions are approximately 0.4 to 0.7 inch long and 0.1 to 0.2 inch wide. Both the shape and the color vary depending on the environment, age of the lesion and rice variety. Lesions on leaf sheaths, which rarely develop, resemble those on leaves.
The most serious damage occurs when the fungus attacks nodes just below the head (Figure 2). The stems often break at the diseased node. This stage of the disease is referred to as "rotten neck." Disease in the node prevents the flow of water and nutrients to the kernels and they will stop developing. Heads of plants damaged in this way may be completely blank (Figure 3) to nearly normal, depending on the stage of head development when infection occurs. The poorly developed grain usually breaks up badly in milling, reducing quality.
Figure 1
Blast symptoms appear on leaves as elliptical spots with light-colored centers and reddish edges.
Figure 2
The most serious damage from rice blast occurs when the disease attacks the nodes just below the head, often causing the stem to break.
Figure 3
Blast damage at the nodes disrupts the flow of water and nutrients to the kernels, halting their development.
This disease is caused by a fungus named Pyricularia grisea, which overwinters in rice seeds and infected rice stubble. The fungus reproductive structures, spores, can spread from these two sources to rice plants during the next growing season and initiate new infections. Spores from these new infections can spread by wind to other rice plants over great distances.
There are several races of Pyricularia grisea. Race 1B49 has been found in Missouri, but it is not yet known if other races are present.
Use preventive measures
Use fungicides
Scout fields for blast symptoms from the seedling through heading stages (see Scouting). If symptoms are found, prepare to use fungicides at the late boot stage and again when 80 to 90 percent of plants are headed.
Apply fungicides during the time frame predicted by the DD50 program, which is about 5 to 7 days before heading (late boot stage). Fungicides are especially needed if blast symptoms have been observed in the field and the variety is very susceptible. Fungicides should be applied a second time about two days after 50 percent heading (90 percent head exsertion). In uniform stands, 90 percent heading will occur in 4 to 5 days after the first heads are visible.
The decision to treat is more easily made when one or more of the following factors exist:
The development of this disease is difficult to predict, and fungicide treatments are expensive. Therefore, you should treat on the basis of the above factors or automatically treat the field with a fungicide if you are unwilling to risk disease damage.
Rice fields should be scouted for leaf symptoms of blast beginning at the seedling stage and continuing until early heading. Leaf symptoms will appear most readily on plants at the edges of fields, on levees, in areas of the fields that are shaded in the morning, or in areas that received excessive nitrogen. Symptoms usually are worse on drought-stressed rice.
If you are uncertain about diagnosing blast symptoms, send a sample to your local MU Extension center for identification. A preboot fungicide application may be needed when foliage damage is severe and the stand is threatened. Proper fertilization and continuous flooding should minimize seedling damage.
You should continue to scout for blast near the heading stage and watch carefully for flagleaf collar symptoms on early-planted susceptible varieties. Also, devote time to determine the stage of rice development to see if the DD50 predicted time frame for fungicide treatment for blast is correct. Symptoms appear 4 to 6 days after infection, so rice heads may be infected without symptoms appearing.
We don't know, but spores were found in Arkansas during the winter of 1987–88 in standing stubble. Preliminary research indicates other inoculum sources exist, including seed.
Probably not.
The fungus has been isolated at low levels from seed. Seed may carry blast spores that could cause early seedling infection and symptoms.
Seed treatment in general is good insurance against seedling diseases and is likely to stop any seed transmission of blast. It will not prevent infection from wind-borne spores. Not all seed treatment fungicides are effective. Use a broad-spectrum material.
Burning of stubble may reduce trash-borne spores, but the disease can still spread to your field by wind-borne spores.
It could be more effective because of the difficulty in getting a thorough burn, and the crop residue can have a beneficial effect on the rotated crop. It may be more advantageous to burn when rice must follow rice.
Fungicides are expensive and should be used when conditions warrant.
Fungicides should not be used after grain is in the milk stage and panicles are turning over, or approximately 10 days after full heading.
Rather than treat tillering rice, you should fertilize with nitrogen as needed, maintain a uniform flood of 2 to 4 inches depth and scout fields closely to determine disease progress. Treatment with a fungicide may reduce the inoculum but is probably not cost effective. Head protection is likely to be more economical.
Fungicides should be applied to control the disease to which the variety is the most susceptible. A fungicide that is effective on both diseases is best. Use the most effective fungicide for sheath blight control if sheath blight is the only disease present. However, if blast is present or anticipated, use the most effective fungicide for blast control at the second application.

Bust out the Jiffy Pop, everyone! Apparently there is new nutritional information on a snack food that will make you feel good about that midday trip to the microwave. Almost as exciting as when we were told dark chocolate is good for you, this news that popcorn contains antioxidants like those found in fruit is incredibly exciting. I, for one, would much rather eat popcorn than fruit as it satisfies my salty cravings. Also, much neater.
Of course plain old popcorn will get old if you chow down on it every day. Why not trick out your popcorn snack, and try these three options the next time you pop?
I first had this via a food truck in Los Angeles and thought, "Wow, that is some seriously fancy popcorn." I'm guessing the food truck peeps didn't actually shave a black truffle onto the 'corn. But maybe they did! Either way you can do this with or without the shaved truffle. Just be sure you get some quality truffle oil.
Yes, please. YES. Seriously, how better to get the party started than with some tangy and spicy treats?
Sure adding sugar to your popcorn kind of hinders the whole good-for-you thing, but every now and then, you need that sugar high. Play around with decreasing the amounts of sugar in this recipe and rely more heavily on the cinnamon for flavor if you want to make it a bit more healthy. Either way, super delicious.
What's your favorite way to eat popcorn?

Songs that you genuinely think are perfect
and that you can't fault and wouldn't change anything whatsoever (including the recording/mixing etc I'm not talking about songs that are perfect on paper but haven't been done quite right).
Talk Talk I Don't Believe In You:
My favourite song of the past few days Spiritualized Broken Heart:
- no_flashlight, shrewbie, sunstroke_house, kilgore-trout, cosk, TheBeautifulOnes_, s1m0n, creakyknees, matthewslaughter, and subjective this'd this
Oh my.
That's beautiful. Don't know how I've never come across this before.shady_lanes this'd this
ya that talk talk track
broken heart could be improved, because it was on the jools holland show with the harmonica.
motoro faam - and infiltrations.
bark psychosis - forget the title, 2nd track from codename: dustsucker
- sweetverbs, DarwinDude, seashellsweed, Teeej, automatik, sixteen_blue, heliolithic, mansy, and phreak this'd this
The original version, not the new one they recorded for 'Jonny Helm Sings' which is different and hence not perfect. They have a few tracks that would benefit from re-recording. That was definitely not one of them.
the re-recorded version of Long Island they did [i.e. not the one on Sophie] is proper awful
- orangejuice, a_man_called_horse, sparkysdream, bokonon, man_possessed, Nuts_N_Gum, Rev_Kramer, flackcaptain, joeydubya, Old_Man_Burner, BigRadgeDoug, PickledOeuf, guyofthelondonzoo, Raanraals, SarcasticFringehead, and DillingersWheelman this'd this
The Wrens - Hopeless
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Built to Spill - Carry the Zero
Radical Face - Wrapped in Piano Strings
- joeymahone, harman_kardon, couldbebrianmay, jontosh2001, Old_Man_Burner, -gen-, Raanraals, and kubrahhh this'd this
they have so many better songs. it's a great song but there are so many better ones
like anything off 'Perfect From Now On'
especially 'Kicked it in the Sun'.
Or "Randy Described Eternity"
That song, man. It's so... perfect.
Agreed on All My Friends.
The Wrens - Hopeless
is also correct.
- Clair_de_Lune this'd this
- orangejuice, seashellsweed, Richard_Littlejohn, JonnyOW, Splendidmcawesome, creakyknees, Blisswas, El_Goodo, moless, Mick_Squalor, Proper_Name, shambolic, and gonad this'd this
well a lot of david bowie songs are perfect (i.e. i wouldnt change a bit of them)
which highlights the problem with the question, because when someone writes such individulistic unique kind of songs then you have no other direct comparrison, so most of bowies songs fit into this catagory, the OP applies better to when there is a genre that has songs that are easy to compare
Converge - Concubine
Pogues - Lullaby of London
Beach Boys - God Only Knows (even the middle 8 bit)Damian this'd this
Lullaby of London is a beautiful piece of music
Good shout sir!
- monkeyboyuk and gonad this'd this
if you're thinking what i'm thinking
then that is the best bit of the song
A lot of people don't like the quirky
do-doop doop-de-doop doop-de-doo-dee-doo-dee do-doop bit in the middle. I do, seems many also do.
I was learning how to play this song recently, its quite clever, that bit is just the verse shifted 5 steps up so it ends up the chorus in a new key ends with the same two chords that start the verse in its original key which makes it seem to perfectly segue back to the original verse, I like those non word vocals, it helps build things up before that moment pays off. Its amazing how simple and right that song sounds given that it is actually quite strange musically
- Severed799 and Ichor this'd this
Concubine is a song.
It's a song that basically perfects "heavy music".suedehead this'd this
In fact, ignore that "basically".
This isn't the thread for it.
it you said Concubine/Fault and Fracture
I'd be all for it.
It's a song dude
just a short/concise one. Simple.
fine, but I consider it an amazing intro to Fault and Fracture
I mean, it was released as such: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go8KMq_WjLI
I don't understand this,
they are two songs, not an intro or owt, just two songs.
Concubine is amazing.
thats fine
but I always associate them as linked, as a one-two they are one of my favourite songs. Put it this way, I'd never listen to one without the other.
- crockerboy, CillaCrack, creakyknees, Luis_Carruthers, jeremymeyersftw, and Antelope this'd this
Most of Boards of Canada's back catalogue.
Dayvan Cowboy especially so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2zKARkpDW4&ob=av2eWooly31, talskar, JamieBoxOf, deep-blue, PickledOeuf, and Antelope this'd this
So many...

Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)- Arcade Fire
All the Wine- the National
This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)- Talking Heads (The Stop Making Sense version)

A highlight from an already amazing album.

Swirlies - Sunn
Swervedriver - Duel
Verve - Butterfly
Primal Scream - MBV Arkestra
Yo La Tengo - My Heart's Reflection
Jane's Addiction - Then She Did...
Everything about these, production, tune, noise, random chaotic bits or specific once only finger plucks (YLT, Janes) is perfect.distrus this'd this
- OceanStorm, pieces_of_reece, Ichor, and John_Ho this'd this
I'd add MBV- Soon
I wouldn't change a note!
'Soon' is perfection
Never got tired of listening it. My fave MBV song.
- harman_kardon, _bisto_, and Wasted_Opportunity this'd this
walkmen rat
across 110th st
all along the watchtower
raspberry beret prince
love alone again ormonkeygod this'd this
title of the thread is 'songs that YOU genuinely think are perfect'
so its all subjective really. if thats your opinion, fair enough.
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
Orbital - Belfast
Destroyer - Suicide Demo for Kara Walker
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Age of Love (jam & spoon remix)
It's just perfect dance music. Theres not a thing I would change in that song.sidrrrs this'd this
just drawn up a shortlist on an office post it waiting till the long weekend (In germany)
Plainsong. Cure
A promise. Echo and the bunnymen
Alone down there. Modest Mouse
Somethings Wrong. Jesus & mary chain.
Jealous Guy. Roxy Music version
Sometimes. MBV
and last but not least
so in love. OMD
Crazy Town (Peel Session) by Velocity Girl.
A brilliant pop song that I have from a Peel Sessions CD from 1994. Reminds me of doing my A' Levels. Anyway, I digress. A perfect pop song for me.
This is one I instantly thought of! Nice one 2012 BMS1
TV Movie by Pulp
Paint a Vulgar Picture. Smiths
A More Perfect Union. Titus Andronicus
You're So Great. Blur
Heart of Glass. Blondie
We're Just Friends. Wilco
Damaged. Primal Screamlarrikinlloyd this'd this
Heart of Glass
probably the most perfect song ever - not an inch of flab and even has memorable drum fills
You're so great!! YES!!!
The slight crackle; the vocals that sound kind of world-weary but content; the lyrics; and probably my favourite solo ever. Wouldn't change a note.JonnyOW and digital_observations this'd this
I couldn't think which Titus Song to put down
I've listened to The Monitor so much it almost sounds like a parody of itself (my fault, obvz) but I think i'd say Four Score And Seven, but I could honestly pick 4 or 5 songs off that album.
Also, Impossible Soul by Sufjan. Never has all other popular music felt so quotidian as when put next to that.
Too many to choose from
but there have been some fine examples in this thread already.
Two that spring to my mind straight away are Day After Tomorrow by Tom Waits and My Girl by The Temptations.
Beautiful Ones - Suede
The Surburbs - Acrade Fire
Shuffle - Bombay Bicyle Club
- bokonon, Glasvegian, and PickledOeuf this'd this
The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love
Bright Eyes - Landlocked Blues
Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine
- podge, Launchpad, and kilgore-trout this'd this
- Oissin_, Teeej, OceanStorm, pichaelmarker, and icehockeyhair this'd this
alone again or - love
this time tomorrow - the kinks
- Comaboy this'd this
The Beatles - She Said She Said
I'll never get tired of listening to that song.swamii this'd this
the first two that come to mind
God only Knows, and Grapevine Fires by DCFC ( I <3 that so fucking hard)
Pavement - Grounded
Van Der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
- harman_kardon, Antelope, Teeej, OceanStorm, evilbill, Severed799, poptimusgrime, dirdyboy, and Wasted_Opportunity this'd this
I never get the love for Grounded?
I love Pavement, but for me it's so far from their best
I woulda gone with Gold Soundz
Because I lack originality
One this for VDGG
:'') <3
- couldbebrianmay this'd this
- funkycow this'd this
This Charming Man
I think How Soon Is Now is too long to be perfect in its album form, and I imagine any cut down versions would still seem somehow... Abridged.
It's an amazing soundscape
of reverb noise and lamentation.
Or whatever. It rules.joeymahone this'd this
- rpmachete, badmanreturns, Rhymenocerous, coolerthantv, and backtotheballs this'd this
I know I said no songs were perfect upthread
but this may be the one that comes closest
- spiritofjazz, Wooly31, bornin69, moker, underwhelmed, and badmanreturns this'd this
I'd probably plump for And Then He Kissed Me
Both grouse though. Phil Spector, eh. Evil genius or simply misunderstood?
The National- Slow Show
Miles Davis- Blue In Green
Taylor Swift- Love StoryLisbonExile this'd this
...and also
Bill Evans' version of "Blue in Green" from Portrait in Jazz featuring the brilliant Scott La Faro
Joanna Newsom - Emily
And Sawdust & Diamonds, Only Skin, Cosmia, Baby Birch, In California, Go Long, Does Not Suffice etc etc. She is basically perfect.
Also Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comelyvortigun, pichaelmarker, DangerousSnails, TJFalvey, Rhymenocerous, and lameosaur this'd this
You mentioned everything on Ys
apart from Monkey and Bear, which is clearly also astounding.
my bad, it is definitely in there too.
That sort of rolling melody in the track 'Have One On Me'
I mean that whole song (and many others) but this bit...
I remember everything,
down to the sound of you shaving--
the scrape of your razor,
the dully-abrading black hair
that remained
when you clutched at me,
that night I came upstairs, half-dead,
and, in your kindness,
you put me straightaway
in the cupboard,
with a bottle of champagne,
and then, later, on a train.
One of the many sections where I just keep thinking, 'This woman is an actual genius. A living, breathing, musical genius.'
God damn I want a new Joanna Newsom album so badly now.
Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale..
Maybe my favourite tune ever.Oissin_ this'd this
Massive love for this tune.
Despite about a hundred listens, I only really cottoned onto the 'missing rhyming word' thing recently too. Even bigger love now.
- shrewbie and JamieBoxOf this'd this
- shrewbie, coolerthantv, JaguarPirate, and PickledOeuf this'd this

to elaborate: 'perfect', obviously subjective, I don't generally like the term, but with these two songs I've adored them since the moment I first heard them and their appeal has endured since, no wavering.
double post, ach
or one and a half, my bad.
Despite listening to electronica 80% of the time...
the first thing that comes into my head is..
I Say a Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin
funny eh.man_possessed and Mr_Grieves this'd this
This fuzzy fella...
Calico Wall, I'm a Living Sickness:
Dream A Little Dream Of Me
The Mama Cass version.
- OvertakenByTractors and Oissin_ this'd this
Jeff Buckley's version of 'Hallelujah'
Perhaps it's too obvious, too popular, too sincere, that it's not already been mentioned. Give a fuck. Go and listen to it.
I wouldn't say it's perfect...
...but that's only because the live Mystery White Boy version is superior in my eyes. The one where he seagues into 'I Know It's Over' by The Smiths and then back again. Heart-stopping...
- anal_schwarzenegger this'd this
It's great but I'd put a fair few Yo La Tengo songs ahead of that
Probably with 'We're An American Band' at the top of the list.
Love both of those
but I always keep coming back to their cover of 'My Little Corner of the World'
YLT definitely have some note perfect tunes
At the moment, my 3 picks from them would be:
I Heard You Looking
Deeper Into Movies
sam cooke - a change is gonna come
vocal performance of a lifetime. I WAS BOOOOOOOOOOOORN BY THE RIVER.

One of those songs I feel I could happily listen to on repeat for forever.funkycow, kostenurky, and friday55 this'd this
On, and the live version of 'Hallelujah' of Jeff Buckley's Mystery White Boy
The one where he seagues it into I Know It's Over and then back again. Heartstopping
'Feel Flows' - Beach Boys
'Unreal Is Here' - Chavez
'Thank You Friends' - Big Star
Feel Flows is a magical tune.
Big love for that one.
Wilco - Jesus, Etc.
The Twilight Singers - Teenage Wristband
R.E.M. - Nightswimming
Okkervil River - For Real
Japandroids - Sovereignty
And loads more obviously. But all of those are pretty much songwriting masterclasses in their own way.
- sunstroke_house, badmanreturns, and gonad this'd this
by Adriano Celentano:
Sufjan Stevens - Chicago
The Pixies - Debaser
Pavement - Debris Slide
I can't believe more people haven't said Debaser.
Probably the most perfect song ever.
couldn't agree with this more
Does so much in such a short space of time, excellent lyrics, catchy as fuck, bonkers sounds
People slated their set at ATP...
...in March but I was absolutely over the moon to see them and really enjoyed them despite the sound difficulties.
Most of the Elephant 6 guys were staying a few chalets away from us so I got to have a great chat with Will Cullen Hart for about half an hour.
He was the nicest guy and said to look for new OTC stuff this year.
Have been savagely poor all year, to the extent of not even affording the cargo gig around the ATP weekend, but I doubt I'll hear better news all day!

Saint Etienne did some
People Get Real
Heart Failed In The Back of Taxi
yeah actually on reflection, you're right
the breakdown only then
but then its not perfect
PDA IS perfect
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
Someone mentioned it upthread, but it really deserves its own postman_possessed and TheBeautifulOnes_ this'd this
Ween - Buckingham Green
The greatest song ever.yuggy this'd this
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Great lyrics delivered with passion by a great singer, solid drumming, beautifully interesting bass lines, crafted guitar, slick synths.
Just a perfectly crafted pop song. Instantly recognisable intro, memorable outro. Doesn't outstay it's welcome either and always leaves me wanting more.
B&S - Lazy Line Painter Jane
B&S - The State I Am In
Most of Loaded by the VU, particularly the unedited cut of Sweet Jane and Oh! Sweet Nothing.
Let's try again: Surely when one puts the word 'perfect' and 'Belle and Sebastian' in the same sentence
there's going to be mention of "the 3...6...9 seconds of light EP" which is just perfection from start to finish. An encapsulation of when that band was at their zenith.
- kostenurky and shrewbie this'd this
It's so fucking emotional, I prefer not listening to it.
Bjork - Desired Constellation
and loads of other mid-period Bjorks, but this in particular is lyrically/musically perfect, in my shitty opinion.
'Cocoon' from Vespertine
So perfect that it brought a tear to my eye when it cropped on shuffle today as I walked through Manchester town centre.
I wanted to post some songs
and felt inclined to agree with others, but I'm at odds with the notion of perfection.
anyone who's ever written a song will know how nebulous the process is. there are so many ways any given song can change, and regardless of how fully realised a song or piece of music is, the finished article is more of a snapshot in time of something more ephemeral.
hence why bands often change songs over years of playing them live.
however, I might post a list of songs that it is difficult to imagine being any better.
pedantry, I know.
- PickledOeuf, jeremymeyersftw, friday55, Wooly31, and AfraidOfOwls this'd this

Shackleton - Blood On My Hands
QOTSA - Song For The Dead
ATD-I - Cosmonaut
The Wrens - Everyone Choose Sudes
Prince - Raspberry Beret
Grace Cathedral Park
by Red House Painters.
Every time I hear the first note I have to stop everything until the song has finished.
Fantastic choice
I might have to go with Katy Song instead (I could listen to the end on repeat forever)
- cheeseandbaconturnov, Wasted_Opportunity, elevatormusic, waffle, sunstroke_house, and Ekels this'd this
neither of them have any where near the drama or beauty of Anything
nor are as fun as Shine a Light. Grounds for Divorce is a great pop song though
Y'know, actually, months later.
I'd actually say Dinner Bells.

Be Thankful for What you Got - William De Vaughan
I LOVE everything about this song.
boss tune
it's ass-funky.
Scott Walker - 'On your own again'
Though I'd also plump for his "The Seventh Seal" too
The Radiohead track that meets perfection is surely either 'Everything in it's right place' or 'The National Anthem'.
Some others:
Tindersticks - City Sickness
Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman
Deerhunter - Desire Lines
Elbow - Station Approach
Flaming Lips - Race for the Prize
Josh Rouse - Quiet Town

For Scott Walker I'd say "The Old Man's Back Again"

i'd agree with 'how to disappear completely'
they played it live last night and it was incredible.
also PP Arnold - The First Cut is the Deepest
The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy
Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone
Low - Just Like Christmas
UNKLE - Rabbit in your headlights

Eels- 'Things the Grandchildren Should Know'

and would probably be perfect - had he not already written "P.S. You Rock My World"

Cosmology- Rolo Tomassi
Matador- Brontide
Isolation- Joy Division

film noir?

Fofteen is the quintessential

The Walkmen - Stranded
a lot of Walkmen songs, but those horns, good god...I have felt magic many times in music, but never so intensely as that golden, glorious brass section.
jfc I love that band so much.
A Silver Mt. Zion - Could've Moved Mountains
when the first violin comes in, lump in throat...when the second comes, forget about it. words cannot go there.
Wilco - Radio Cure
Jim O'Rourke, you beautiful bastard. his production pushes this into realms beyond your average acoustic troubador. but then the song itself is masterful in weary restraint. captures so perfectly the emotion it strives for.
also 'Jesus, etc'.
The Wrens - Happy
emo mic hug. so hard. no other song does what this one does even remotely as well. I WAS WROOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!
XTC - Jason & the Argonauts
hard to capture in words, this one...it finds a place between African pop and 12 string (right?) jangle via prog, a cut and heatstruck place of tall grass, wild animals, febrile native kids...
also 'Summer's Cauldron'. utterly inspirational.
Yo La Tengo - Our Way To Fall
only true love conbined with genuine indie pop/rock genius could make something so precious and deeply perfect.
other perfect YLT: 'Suddenly Organ', 'You Could Have It All', 'Pablo and Andrea', 'Damage', 'Green Arrow'...
Xiu Xiu - Hives Hives
thrilling hysteria. pure, distilled bloodrush psychodrama...ffffffuck.
Avey Tare and Panda Bear - Alvin Row
in a similar noisey avant pop freak out zone as the above. and one of the great screams in music.
other perfect AC moments: 'Water Curses', 'Street Flash', 'People', 'For Reverend Green', 'No More Runnin', 'Banshee Beat', 'Visiting Friends', 'Winter's Love', 'Kids on Holiday'...

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. Utterly perfect. this is how you build up a song.
No, you know there's nothing surprising in no one mentioning it, though it's clearly a good piece of music.
This week, it has to be Reagan Youth by Reagan Youth.
Incredible bit of hardcore

Grandaddy - The Warming Sun
Andrew Bird - Hole in the Ocean Floor

Slowdive - 40 Days
oh man, the guitar in that chorus is just the most fucking perfect guitar ever recorded.
it's so funny how when I was first getting in Slowdive back in 2004, everyone was like 'nahhh, second-rate MBV', but it's so obvious now that they're every bit as good. not really in the same bracket - My Bloody Valentine are a noise rock band, really - but equally good at their own different things.
also Country Rain
saddest, dreamiest.

Ever Somber is probably the nicest, song-est of them - it has a lovely MBV-esque 'guitar' swirl and a really tasteful scratch solo that augments the song properly. The lyrics are about injustice and despair, but that's dälek for you.
'Never knew that happiness could just be injected

Are there certain traits that give songs a sense of perfection?
I'm thinking:
- Exquisite (delicate, straightforwardly beautiful)
- Fairly slow
- Often have high pitched strings or pinging guitars
- Melancholic
and what does this tell us about life?
Perfection doesn't exist
But if it did, these songs would sum it up for me:
Wild Beasts- We Still Got the taste dancin' on our tongues
Talk Talk- The Rainbow
Kate Bush- Love and Anger
Tindersticks- Tiny Tears
Radiohead- Everything in its right place
... And...
Joanna Newsom- Go Long
Elbow- Lippy Kids
I don't know if they were mentioned - I postponed the reading till my lunch break - though I suppose they are too fresh too be, but the Dead & Gone song is simply flawless.
Also I would like u not to forget Who The Fuck's Arctic Monkeys song.
And just about every Fleet Foxes song is a perfection.
i know they're not a DiS approved band...
...but the Strokes have this concept down:

Stevie Wonder - Creepin' (really so so many of his, but this is the one on my 'perfect songs' playlist)
Yo La Tengo - Blue Line Swinger
Ira's signature, krautrock-ish guitar wankery; contrastingly mellow vocal lines; and a perfect (and lengthy) flow from relatively silent intros to a buzzing, multi-layered, looped-guitar/vocal-lines finish.
I need to update the playlist!
you sneaky fucks
- pichaelmarker this'd this
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
Perfect song about a perfect day
Nick Cave
The Mercy Seat - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ0liW5Gi3Q
Also the Johnny Cash version
Into My Arms
elbow, scattered black & whites
Dream by Love..
The best song on Four Sail for me.
dylan - visions of johanna
beatles - i'm only sleeping
pixies - gigantic
tom waits - cold cold ground
elliot smith - miss misery demo version (lyrics are far better)
paul mccartney - vanilla sky (i'm not cool, okay?)
radiohead - climbing up the walls
- moker this'd this
loads that have already been mentioned and...
All Fires by Swan Lake
and a couple of Mogwai songs because they are a bit under-represented here
I know you are but what am I (Special Moves version)
Hunted By a Freak
Mansun - Face In The Crowd
Mansun - Legacy
Idlewild - Little Discourage
all along the watchtower
hendrix version.
usually hate guitar solos but there isn't a note out of place during that entire song.moker, monkeyboyuk, and sunstroke_house this'd this
perfect song?
Ella Fitzgerald - Paper Moon
It just occured to me this morning,
that Blue Blood by Foals is 100% certifiably perfect.
23 - Jimmy Eat World
I want this played at my funeral
- Clair_de_Lune, Antelope, and oldfamenewfame this'd this
john martyn- over the hill
isn't it
Van Morrison - Bright Side Of The Road...
Uplifting, always puts a smile on my face, brass section's great, just absolutely fantastic.
The Kinks 'Moments'
hidden gem tucked away on the 'Percy' soundtrack from 1971
This is probably the best topic of the year
So many good songs in this topic...
Summertime Blues.
That is all.
Pixies - Here comes your man
because it it is everything. It's a rock song, and a folk song, and an acoustic lullaby and a surf pop apocalypse. It's joyous enough to play at weddings and dark enough to play at funerals. It's repetitive but constantly changes. It's a screaming fat man, and a dulcet sex siren. The lyrics are superficially lovely and radio friendly, but dig a little deeper and it's about nuclear bombs being dropped on Japan. It's a fart of pop fluff, but also deeply affecting and moving. It's the perfect pop song, from the best band ever. In my humble opinion anyway.spoiledff7 this'd this

Okkervil River- So Come Back, I am Waiting
Just astonishing.
This is my favourite Okkervil River song.
And by extension, top ten songs OF ALL TIME material.
- badmanreturns and stormcrow this'd this
REM - Nightswimming
Someone already said it, it deserves to be said again.
Kraftwerk - Europe Endless
One of the most evocative pieces of music ever recorded. If anyone ever asks me what's so great about Kraftwerk, I point them in the direction of this track. Encapsulates how they manage to pull off the trick of always sounding both futuristic and rooted in European traditions simultaneously.
If its REM,
it's Country Feedback, Road Movie:
Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights
Tom Waits - San Diego Serenade
Big Star - Ballad of El Goodo
Underworld - 8 Ball
Uncle Tupelo - No Depression
The Band - Tears of Rage
Ben Harper - Another Lonely Day
Solomon Burke nailing 'Don't Give Up On Me'
definition of perfection
Happy Birthday To You
makes me smile, & everyone gets the lyrics right.
Divebomb - One Tin Cup
Have to second Sparky's Dream from up thread too.
Alice Playten Good Place Now
This is the perfect song if you need a lift and are feeling blue.
It is also the perfect song if you lost someone or need music for a memorial and it is song beautifully.
I'll be predictable
