After an epic filibuster which Democrats finally voted to end, the Senate confirmed John Brennan to be named as CIA director on Thursday.
In the end Brennan won some GOP support. Thirteen Republicans voted with forty nine Democrats and one independent to give Brennan, President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, the top post at the nation's spy agency.
According to the Washington Examiner, the confirmation came after the Obama administration stated explicitly there are limits on the president's power to use drones against U.S. terror suspects on American soil.
The confirmation vote was 63-34 and came just hours after Republican Senator Rand Paul's epic 13 hour filibuster of the nomination to extract the answer from the administration.
Attorney General Eric Holder reportedly sent a one-paragraph letter to Paul, which read: 'It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: 'Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?" Holder wrote Paul, 'The answer to that question is no.'
Holder's admission cleared the way for the confirmation.
'We worked very hard on a constitutional question to get an answer from the president,' Paul said after voting against Brennan. 'It may have been a little harder than we wish it had been, but in the end I think it was a good healthy debate for the country to finally get an answer that the Fifth Amendment applies to all Americans.'
Paul's insistence that the Obama administration explain its controversial drone program opened a fault line among Senate Republicans, pitting Paul against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and military hawks like John McCain or Lindsey Graham.
Paul's filibuster reminded the party that unusual coalitions of libertarians and liberals have sided with each other against defense hawks.
McCain angrily claimed that Paul, through his stance on drones, was unnecessarily making Americans fear that their government poses a danger.
'To somehow allege or infer that the president of the United States is going to kill - somebody - who disagrees with the policies is a stretch of imagination which is, frankly, ridiculous,' McCain said.
Senator Graham expressed his incredulity that Republicans would suddenly criticize President Obama on a policy that President George W. Bush previously enforced.
'People are astonished that President Obama is doing many of the things that President Bush did,' Graham said. 'I'm not astonished. I congratulate him for having the good judgment to understand we're at war. And to my party, I'm a bit disappointed that you no longer apparently think we're at war.'
Graham, initially a no vote against Brennan, said that the confirmation fight had become a referendum on the drone program and he planned to back the president's nominee.
But the libertarian leaning tea party-backed Paul, helping him become a Twitter sensation. Graham faced pointed criticism from the tea party for attending a dinner with President Obama on Wednesday night rather than joining Paul in the filibuster.
Amy Kremer, chairman of the Tea Party Express, announced that Graham was 'clearly on the wrong side of this issue and I think there will be consequences.'
In the final vote on Brennan's confirmation, Paul voted no.
In a statement following the vote President Obama applauded Brennan's confirmation, adding that 'the Senate has recognized in John the qualities I value so much - his determination to keep America safe, his commitment to working with Congress, his ability to build relationship.'
'Timely, accurate intelligence is absolutely critical to disrupting terrorist attacks, dismantling al Qaeda and its affiliates, and meeting the broad array of security challenges that we face as a nation. John's leadership, and our dedicated intelligence professionals, will be essential in these efforts,' President Obama said. 'I am deeply grateful to John and his family for their continued service to our nation.'

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
PseudoNympho - "Matryoshka"
Artist Bio:
"Once upon a time… 4 guys from Yorkshire and a drummer from just outside Chicago decided to make music together, combining all their influences, from Alice In Chains to Bowie... From The Wildhearts to Tool… From Mastodon to Neil Young… From Pantera to Mogwai, Ad Nauseum.
We founded and run our own record label because that is both an interesting challenge, and a much better way of getting our music out there than waiting potentially forever for another label to snap us up.
We play music we find interesting, and which is idiosyncratic to us as a band and as people."
"Wolfgang C. Bailey and his cohorts pull no punches with their socially-conscious, super-charged, ass kicking/take no prisoners modern metal! PseudoNympho, who have a name that I find equally weird and appealing, knock down the doors of traditional rock and roll and slam the listener repeatedly over the head with heavy music that is thankfully also intelligent and insightful..."

The video was filmed in 2 unique locations: The basement of Zetland Bar, Huddersfield, whilst undergoing refurbishment; and at Clayton Reservoir, Lancashire. Clayton was a 120 year old Victorian reservoir and was demolished the day after filming.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - At Amazon's Chattanooga distribution center, military veteran Scot Newport is using his leadership skills developed over 27 years in the Army to help run the busy distribution center during the annual holiday busy season.
Newport told The Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/XGl538 ) he joined the nation's No. 1 retailer, which has been named among the nation's top military friendly employers, because of the company's openness to veterans. He's a former U.S. Army colonel who now serves as senior operations manager for outbound shipping at the Chattanooga facility.
Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman said the Seattle-based company has a military talent program to recruit veterans and has hired more than 600 veterans in this year alone.

Senate control hinges on absentee and affidavit ballots in Ulster County
KINGSTON – Perhaps it is fitting that New York State's first capital – this historic community along the Hudson River – will likely have the final say in the fight over which political party will control the State Senate come January.
After a week of paper-ballot counting in four other counties in a new sprawling district that spreads from the Mohawk Valley to the Mid-Hudson Valley, election lawyers on Monday began opening the final set of 4,200 absentee and affidavit ballots that were cast Nov. 6 in Ulster County in the race between Republican George Amedore and Democrat Cecilia Tkacyzk.
Until the last paper ballot is counted, expected sometime today, all the state's political eyes will be focused on Kingston and the goings on in two cramped, windowless rooms at the county's Board of Election offices on Wall Street. Even then, depending on court challenges, the final results might not be known until later in the week.
Coming into the final county tallying Monday, Amedore, a Republican member of the Assembly from outside Albany, was up by 918 votes. But Monday was a strong day for Tkaczyk, a political newcomer and former school board member from an Albany suburb who ran strongest in Ulster, the most southern county in a new Senate district that Republicans carved earlier this year during redistricting to try to increase their odds of retaining Senate control.
As of Monday evening, Amedore's lead was cut to between 707 and 714 votes, depending on which party was providing the information. But paper-ballot counting has its mercurial ways and can change, swiftly, depending on which town or even neighborhood is the subject of a particular hour's tally.
The final counting to decide the Senate's power structure – and, to a large degree, what Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will and will not be able to accomplish over the last two years of his first term – was being done Monday in a stuffy storage room just down the street from where the New York State Senate, on Sept. 9, 1777, held its first session when this city was capital of New York, before being burned by the British during the Revolutionary War.
Crowded around a 6-foot-long folding table were a team of Election Board clerks and officials and a team of Democratic and Republican election lawyers – some of whom have squared off against each other in paper-ballot battles for nearly 30 years and, given their current or past jobs, have been instrumental in crafting the very state election laws they were jostling over on Monday.
For a week, the lawyers have been election law vagabonds, traveling the counties in the large district, missing Thanksgiving meals as they prepared their challenges and all with a singular mission: get their partisan employers in charge of the Senate.
With only a dozen or so people, the cramped room could fit no one else amid the boxes of ballots and piles of election records of voters whose paper ballots might be challenged for any assortment of election law reasons.
In a county where the Democratic candidate won 60 percent of the machine vote earlier this month, Republican lawyers were much more eager on Monday to try to set aside questionable ballots.
Hundreds of such ballots from Ulster and the four other counties in the new 46th Senate District will then – likely later this week – go before a state judge in Montgomery County who will decide which ones are counted and which ones get tossed. Lawyers on both sides of the judge's decision, depending on the outcome of the Ulster vote count, will be key to which party controls the Senate.
If Republicans were worried, their election lawyers and Senate staff members on hand weren't showing it. The veteran crew of lawyers on both sides – some of whom have squared off against each other for 30 years – realize there is still much paperwork to go through from surrounding, more-rural communities before a final round of contested ballots goes before a state judge later this week.
The winner of this race will determine control of the Senate, on paper anyway. If Amedore wins, the Republicans will have the votes – thanks to the recent flip by a newly elected Brooklyn Democrat who says he will caucus with the GOP – to continue its generations-long domination of the Senate. If Amedore loses, Democrats will have the votes to control the Senate, but not without the help of four breakaway Democrats who have not ruled out joining with the Republicans in some sort of coalition-type effort that would help keep the GOP at least in partial power. Many Republicans believe the four independent Democrats will join with them if Amedore loses to form a coalition chamber rather than return to a Democratic caucus they left in an ugly split two years ago.
"We're very optimistic and we're hoping that a good portion of the ballots being counted today will give us a statistical level of comfort by the end of the day that we believe this is going to be George Amedore's Senate seat,'' Sen. Thomas Libous, a Binghamton Republican, said Monday.
Democrats accused Republicans of trying to delay the vote-counting process by challenging far more paper ballots – in all, about 500 as of mid-afternoon Monday from all five counties – that will then delay a final decision by a judge. "The Republicans are trying to sow chaos … to advance their political objectives," said Sen. Michael Gianaris, a Queens Democrat who heads the Senate Democratic campaign committee.
As for the 46th Senate race, "It's going to be a very close race," Gianaris said.

The 10 Worst NES Games Ever
Although the NES had its highs, giving us some of our favorite gaming memories, it definitely wasn't shy about drilling us with stinkers at regular intervals. Here are the 10 NES games that made us cry, starting with number 10:
Wrecking Crew — At least one of the crappy single-screen Mario games deserved a spot on this list, and we went back and forth between this and Mario Bros. for a while. This one won out because Mario doesn't even have the ability to jump. That's right. The character originally conceived as "Jumpman" in Donkey Kong is wearing lead shoes. And unlike Bionic Commando, he doesn't even have an arm that lets him swing across platforms. Instead, your job is to whack things with a hammer, stand around because you screwed up and now must wait for your impending depth, then die.

Thread: Scars
Today I had my first ship validation, all went well, I passed my IST with flying colors. But when my Liason spoke with me for the moment of truth, he noticed a small scar on the side of my face you can only see if you are up close to me or in bright lights. He got to the questing asking if I had any scars I answered "no sir" then he asked multiple other times and I kept saying "no sir", because I even forgot I had it because its so small and I got it when I was 2 years old. He then asked me about the small one on my face and I said "I forgot sir" then he said alright and asked me if I was ready to ship. All in all he acted like it wouldn't be a problem and didn't mention it again. But I then remembered I have a scar on the back of my ear too when I got home, that is pretty unnoticeable unless you look for it, or look directly at my ear from behind. I am just wondering if I should be worried about being discharged for fraudulent enlistment when I get to PI. Will anyone even notice it, and if so what should I say? I asked my recruiter about it, and he said to not worry, nothing will come of it. But I am still a little bit worried, because I don't want to lose the chance of earning the title of Marine over something this small and stupid. The scar on my face is from a dog scratching me when I was two years old, and the one on my ear is from me lying next to a rocking chair when I was 5, and when my sister sat in it, somehow my ear got caught on the chair and split the top part almost all the way off.

Authorities from La Plata County Sheriff's Office, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the Friday morning crash of a World War II-era P-51 Mustang that killed two area residents.
Information about the cause of the crash has not yet been released.
Durango Fire Marshal Karola Hanks said there are good eyewitness accounts.
Officials called on heavy equipment to remove debris, collected as evidence, and several investigators roamed the crash site this weekend.
The plane went down just outside airport property in a pasture near BP facilities and the San Juan Forest Air Tanker Base on the county road.
"It was short distance," said the airport's Director of Aviation Kip Tuner. "It appears that it crashed in some shape or fashion on takeoff, not very far from the airport at all."
Tuner said he wasn't sure how often the aircraft was flown, but it has been at the airfield only within the last year.
Although the county coroner has not verified identities of the victims, Michael Schlarb's wife, Monie, confirmed he and John Earley, who owned the aircraft, both died in the crash, which occurred just before 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Earley, CEO of Saddle Butte Pipeline, and his P-51 Mustang were featured in a story on April 10, 2014, in The Cortez Journal, conveying his appreciation for the vintage fighter. His father was a pilot, and his grandfather flew bombers during World War II. In the story, he called it a "childhood dream to shepherd a Mustang."
Schlarb also loved to fly. Hanks said after a career with the Durango Fire Protection Department, he left to follow his dreams.
A respected flight instructor and fixed-wing pilot for TriState CareFlight, he had been training Earley.
He called the instruction in the rare aircraft a special case.
"It'll put a smile on your face every time you fly it," he said, and described a challenging airplane that demanded respect.
The powerful, antique P-51 Mustangs are worth approximately $2 million.

Righthaven Actually Shows Up In Court, Whines About 'Scorched Earth' Attacks Against It
from the can-we-define-irony? dept
Though, yes, this does mean that Righthaven's lawyer, Shawn Mangano, actually showed up in court this time. Righthaven also complained that Randazza's efforts were just to get press attention (well, if Righthaven isn't going to pay them, they might as well get publicity some way...). Either way, the judge issued a protective order blocking anyone from revealing the financial information uncovered during a debtor's examination of Righthaven CEO Steve Gibson and his wife.
Separately, an appeals court rejected Righthaven's attempt to get an injunction to stop Righthaven assets from being auctioned off... It seems like another bad day for those supporting Righthaven.

I am writing to you with the high hopes that you will be
able to help me help two beautiful loving dogs who are
being forced to live a life of neglect and abuse. I had the pleasure of meeting these 2 boys today after reading a heartfelt plea from a neighbor of these dogs trying desperately to find them new homes. Fenster is a gorgeous chocolate lab /pit bull mix. He has light chestnut eyes and a light brown coat. He rolls over to show his belly to any human that approaches him. All he wants is some love.
Fenster has been tied to a tree in a filthy Brooklyn
backyard for the better part of 2 years (from what I understand). He has basically dug a hole about 2.5 feet wide and 8 inches deep where his leash ends, desperately trying to break free. He is not allowed in the house, no
matter what the weather. Zach, his companion, is an old
gentle rottweiller. He has gooky eyes, and crusty ears. He sits and waits to be petted. He is just about the sweetest dog I ever met. I am guessing Fen to be about 2ish & Zach to be around 8ish, tho it is hard to tell. Sometimes an young dog can look much older than his years when he is neglected like this. I brought the boys a blanket, some treat bones & some big chewy real bones to help them occupy their empty days. There is debris all over the backyard, and they had no water. When we gave them water, they sucked it down eagerly. They seem to be well fed, tho I doubt its with any kind of regularity. The owner begged me to take them, but unfortunately, I have 3 dogs & 2 cats in an 800 sq ft apt. Otherwise I Would have left with the 2 of them immediately. There is an old dog house in the backyard that is big enough for one of them, but I couldn't get a straight answer from the owner on what happens to the one dog who cant make it in the dog house during inclimate weather. I even found a dog molar in the dirt. I need to
help these dogs. Please help me. No dog deserves to live
like this. Please please help.
thanks so much for all that you do---

Savannah-Chatham police have blocked off an area around Ardsley Park where robbery suspects crashed a vehicle Thursday afternoon.
The suspects robbed a gold store on Eisenhower Drive and fled in the vehicle that crashed near Washington Avenue and Harmon Street, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
Police currently have 46th Street blocked from Chatham Crescent to Waters Avenue and Harmon closed from 48th Street to 45th Street. No timeline as to when the roads would open was available, Miller said, as police are continuing to investigate.
Two suspects are in custody, Miller said. One was transported to Memorial University Medical Center for injuries.

Emergency unemployment insurance benefits deadline extended
The deadline for jobless Texans to qualify for emergency unemployment insurance benefits has been extended to Jan. 1, 2014. Federal legislation signed by President Barack Obama on Jan. 2, 2013 will extend benefits to approximately 120,000 Texans who would have otherwise exhausted their unemployment benefits on Dec. 31, 2012. Claimants should continue to request unemployment benefit payments on their scheduled day. The legislation did not add benefits for individuals who have already exhausted their regular state unemployment benefits, federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation and Extended Benefits. Claimants who currently receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits may find updated information on their claims by logging on to ui.texasworkforce.org, or by calling the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Tele-Serv at 800-558-8321 and selecting Option 2 (Claim Status). There is no need to call TWC to qualify for this extension unless claimants receive a letter telling them to do so. Emergency unemployment benefits provide temporary income for those individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Benefits are federally funded and Texas employers will not be charged for any claims paid on this extension. TWC and the 28 local Workforce Development Boards are committed to providing work search assistance, training and other services to unemployed Texans. Thousands of job postings are available on WorkInTexas.com, TWC's online job-matching website.The Texas Workforce Commission is a state agency dedicated to helping Texas employers, workers and communities prosper economically. For details on TWC and the programs it offers in coordination with its network of local workforce development boards, call 512-463-8942 or visit www.texasworkforce.org.

Have you ever used a 3D printer?
It's no secret what the advent of digital technology has done to mail volume, particularly First-Class Mail. But there's an emerging digital technology catching hold that could be a boon to the U.S. Postal Service. It's called 3D printing, and it's expected to increase the number of lightweight parcels, a segment of the parcel market where the Postal Service excels.

Sony continued its dominance over in Japan this past week, topping Media Create's hardware and software charts.
For the week covering March 9 through March 15, PS3 topped the software chart once again, now the third week in a row. Koei did the honors this time, with the newly released Warriors Orochi Z selling 112,283 units, but continued sales of Yakuza 3 and Resident Evil 5 gave the system three top 10 placers.
The full top 10 is as follows:
- 1. Warriors Orochi Z (Koei, PS3): 112,283
- 2. Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, PS3): 61,483
- 3. 3D Picross (Nintendo, DS): 38,056
- 4. Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! (Nintendo, DS): 37,907
- 5. Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce (Koei, PSP): 33,255
- 6. New Play Control Pikmin 2 (Nintendo, Wii): 28,706
- 7. Yakuza 3 (Sega, PS3): 23,815
- 8. Seventh Dragon (Sega, DS): 22,341
- 9. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G PSP the Best (Capcom, PSP): 16,209
- 10. Resistance (Sony, PSP): 15,651
In addition to Warriors Orochi Z, 3D Picross, Pikmin and Resistance were all new this week. Sonic & the Black Knight debuted on the Wii this week down at 30, beaten by a budget version of Idol Master on the Xbox 360.
PSP topped the hardware charts for the second week in a row, presumably fueled by continued sales of the recent batch of colors. PS3 managed to hold its own as well, topping the console pack and also beating the DSi.
The full hardware chart is as follows, with last week's sales in parentheses.
- DSi: 27,564 (32,102)
- Wii: 17,941 (16,560)
- DS Lite: 11,571 (11,240)
Next week's charts will reflect today's release of Super Robot Wars K on DS. Combined with new DSi colors, also released today, and Nintendo could reclaim the top spot in both hardware and software.

The Twilight War
Knowing too much, and being an ex-double agent have one thing in common: death! And death is what the former Czech double-agent received in his last hiding place: Guatemala. But by whom? His former case officer, Daniel Robinson, aims to find out. He travels incognito to Europe to develop leads. He then heads off to Guatemala to unveil new leads. The CIA isn't concerned about Lhota's death, but Robinson is more loyal than his employer. According to the CI...

rolling (but time-stamp free) classical/jazz (free & otherwise)/improv/eai/general noise etc. thread [ferware mk. 11]]
okey-doke, here's the first couple that spring to mind (i know a lot/most fans will have heard these):
I imagine people might have heard this one, due to the Demdike State connection if nothing else, that said I remember endlessly proselytising for the debut on here, but I don't know how far that was taken on board. Reminds me of Mika Vainio stuff under the name ph in terms of its endlessly fascinating minimalism.
Suum Cuique ~ Ascetic Ideals [Modern Love]
(good cover too)
Sonore ~ OTO (Trost)
At first I struggled w/ Sonore. I think I started by watching a live video on youtube (bad idea), & while I love solo sax record by e.g. Kaoru Abe (check Winter 1972!), or obv. Braxton's For Alto, I initially struggled w/ hearing 3 reeds players simultaneously unaccompanied, yet now I'm completely obsessed, I think the fascination often comes from hearing three(+) instruments so ostensibly similar manage to create something so tonally distinct and varied and so on. It's good.
John Tilbury & Keith Rowe ~ E. E. Tension and Circumstance.
Ummm, it's hard to find too much to say about this...beyond the easily the easily-googleable backstory and the fact the kind of 'soundworld' again really fascinating. Sounds to my limited knowledge of EAI very masterful and compelling. Not nearly as familiar w/ Keith Rowe as I should be, but Tilbury never ceases to amaze (whether it's [recently] Field, Lost Daylight or his famousCage/Feldman recordings.)
My tastes aren't that contemporary (and I don't get to read The Wire anymore 'cause of money/geography btw) so i'm happy if people want to highlight anything they want to highlight:
Iannis Xenakis ~ Persepolis
Been listening to a lot of the electronic compositions, by this Greek composers. This one is (to me, at least) standardly dark and frightening, and has a really satisfying kind of progression.
man, wish i'd made this neat! (tension & circumstance is on potlatch)
(and came out the end of last year btw). Persepolis is from 1972.
Freeform thread for freeform music
Need to check out all of these really, shall have to revisit and post impressions later.
Couple things that I guess go into here:
Rene Hell
His recent Mnml Ssgs mix is well worth a listen, the relationships of the individuals mixed together give it a strange mosiac-like feel
and he's just put out a tape under another pseudonym that demands attention
Joseph Beuys & Nam June Paik ?– Coyote III With Pianovariation 1984
Got this from volcanic tongue a while back but only really just started getting into it. Beuys performing concrete poetry/howling like a coyote and just being his usual shamanistic self over scattered piano. The record is a bootleg and a limited press so i figure a link isnt an horrendous idea
Unit Moebius/Shitcluster
Found these by accident, various rips of old unreleased or forgotten tapes by Bunker Records stalwarts. Some of the stuff vaguely draws to mind disco, house or techno. But smeared in dirt and weirdness.
Black Lodge ?– Untitled
Again, shadowy disco-y stuff from 2010, but too odd to fit in the mongrel thread.
Raionbashi / Stefan Roigk / Daniela Fromberg ?– Blowing Up The Masters Workshop Split
Tlaotlon - Squirt Image Flex
Frankly batshit sound collage, picked it up on the recommendation of The Wire this month. It's psychadelic but in a way that doesn't use the same old tropes.
Sketchlike post here really, I'l sit down properly and think of a few more things and give deeper impressions later.
Also, oneforghost, i never asked. Where did the 'Ferware' thread name come from?
mines in even more of a claustrophobic lay out
will go through these asap.
i thought ferware was dutch for 'worn down' but apparently it's not & i was just deceived by a machinefabriek track.
i've heard the beuys & r. hell ones. they're both great.
that Beuys/NJP link is incredible
(i'm named after joseph beuys so i guess i'm biased...)
Ideologic Organ
in general is putting out good stuff, but I am pretty damned excited about this:
Omalley, haino, Ambarchi trio...there is a whole gig of theirs on YouTube, but the sound does not really do it justice (I imagine...)
Has anyone got this yet?
I was actually at the gig where it was recorded, so interested to see what the disc ends up sounding like.
Is this the thread where I tell you all that the KTL record is maybe the album of the year?
Because I think it could be.
It's amazingly stirring, disturbing, neo-classical. huge step away from the dirt and grime of the last piece. It's the soundtrack that Prometheus should have had, absolutely terrifying in places, and the Johann Johannsson collaboration is incredible. For such a dissonant record it's incredibly easy to come back to.
Really really like the Suum Cuique record too. Has anyone got the new Joe Colley one?
Gave this a listen yesterday, it's exceptional
Can see why people are falling over themselves for it. I really want to hear the extra white label included In some sleeves.
I think 'exceptional' actually sells it short
If it just consisted of the first four pieces it would be a perfectly nuanced neo-classical drone record, but that last track! - I don't think any description can actually do it justice - possibly the heaviest thing I've ever heard. Really love the way it contrasts with what went before it as well.
Managed to miss the 3LP version as well. Anyone else heard it? Just wanted to know whether it was worth making some Belgian record collector on Discogs rich for...
I listened to the last track in isolation
The spirit of Alpha Soixante lives on! :D
I know little about improv but happily suggest that you check out Painkiller if you weren't aware
My standard Harris-bumming of the day
yeah! which is yr favourite record? mine's probs (obv. choice of) execution ground.
Really cool Bristol noise/drone/??? label
Here's a recording of live webradio show we did last week, records and tapes and live sets from Diatribes (improv) and Cementimental (harsh noise) http://zamzamrec.org/R%CE%94dYO.html
For anyone who doesn't know already, I'm part of organising Transient Constellations shows in London
relevant to the interests of this thread.
pleased to have you on board. i'm from bristol (but never heard of those guys yet) so i'll check the former out, nowadays i live nowhere near either there or london...but yeah looks a varied & interesting programme. i like a lot of those dudes
theres a new
Eternal Tapestry album coming out too.
Is there anyone not signed to Thrill Jockey now adays?
i'm not. are you?
SR Mix #133: Sagat [Vlek]
We've got an odd spaced out noisey mix today.
thanks everyone for joining in! keep it up
- Cementimental and _TheBeautifulOnes_ this'd this
Jaws - Stress Test EP
Hundebiss can be kind of hit-and-miss (That sewn leather lp was awful) but I like this a lot, it sort of scatters between melody and something grainier.
Henry & Hazel Slaughter - Sideways Gas Washers [American Tapes]
One of the albums I've enjoyed most this year, and one that I think has done the most with the whole 'noise-techno' niche. I've enjoyed stuff by KPLR, Container, Swanson etc. but ive generally found it to sound like pretty one dimensional techno with a cheese grater taken to it, whereas this album is just so batshit in it's sampling and source material (pot-boiling-over-whistles, dial-up chirrups and indulgent farts over drums that seem to be at a stage of constant near-collapse) that its elevated above them for me. The quick fire assault of ideas helps too, the sketch is laid out then shudders into an awkward locked groove until you flick it forward.
Jacques Jazz - Becoming Gay
Don't really know what it is, can't afford it, but 'This is funky and I don't know what the fuck is going on. Detroit freak changing into freaks' makes me want it.
Conrad Schnitzler: Zug (Reshaped & Remodeled)
The Aktion mix is typical Villalobos, so whether you love or hate him will tell you how you'll like this track, but the Sorgenkind mix is genuinly brilliant. Amazing sound design.E_H_Gombreak this'd this
Drachmae Lucky Strength
also this guy's a really talented young composer aged just 21. 'if i in my north room' is the best thing, all clattery objects. think it's released somewhere as well.
excellent thread by the way ofg
The Haxan Cloak - The Men Parted the Sea to Devour the Water [Southern Records]
This recording is about trying to re-interpret my own work, I think. I never want to give a straight recreation of any of my recorded material when I play live - one reason is because it is too logistically difficult, but the main reason is that I just don't think it suits me as a performer; it makes me feel uncomfortable. I like to treat performance as a composition also - a different beast. So on this Latitudes session, and when I play live generally, I think of it as me remixing my own work essentially. If my recorded music so far exists within one sphere, I'd like to try and move the live element to a completely different sphere - I don't like the notion of being stuck in one place, or pigeon-holed, I guess."
His album was one of my favourite last year, can't wait for this. The t-shirt bundle looks nice too
Piotr Kurek - Heat
Is now available FOR FREE (although I'd urge you to donate) from Cronica.
One of my favourite records of the past few years; really lush, exotic vintage synth & sample stuff that I can't really describe 'cause I'm not very verbose.
haha sorry about that
people must think I've got something to do with it. I don't, I just think it's incredible. I'll stop talking about it now though...
Didnt see this earlier
Got it on cassette, it's excellent
it's a 25-minute album
so if you don't you won't have wasted too much time
it's basically 3 tracks of roaring futuristic live-performance jazz-metal nicely bookended with mellower compositions
feels looser than much of their other stuff - which helps
also I hate to be a walking cliche
but I have gotten into two rap albums pretty hard this year - death grips and el-p :''D soz
Still haven't really heard either of those :/
Death Grips first album kinda hurt my ears so I've been reluctant, and Ive been into the new Killer Mike album so thats been my El-P fix for the last couple weeks. Will check out his solo thing soon though.
I will give Kayo Dot a try.
It is good. New Ab-Soul record is good too (same crew).
SORRY ONEFORGHOST, thread hijack notmyfault!
that's cool whatever bud. [check sonore - srsly, there's a groove there somewhere]
JAG for my gig on fri with Gum Takes Tooth and more:
Should this thread be called Ferware 2.1 or something?
Seems more in keeping.
Anyway, is there any sites/blogs people would recommend for keeping on top of this sort of stuff? I'm dependent on my monthly dose of Wire to find most of this out and would like something a bit more, erm, digital to help me keep up to date.
Have a Keiji Haino trailer.
I'm more interested in ambient/drone tapes and stuff
than the stuff (The?) Wire tends to cover, but you might like these nonetheless:
- http://weedtemple.tumblr.com/ (polish guy with very good taste)
- http://antigravitybunny.com/ (mostly drone, some black metal/dark ambient)
- http://amour-discipline.org/zine/ (very scattershot)
- http://paexeoux.tumblr.com/ (just cassette rips, no writing)
- http://lunaratrium.blogspot.co.uk/ (Panabrite's blog, loads of great old synth stuff/weird old records)
- http://staticencounters.wordpress.com/ (cassette/vinyl rips of (usually) hard to get old of stuff)
I know a couple of those, but the most are new to me
thanks, shall begin to delve.
I'm looking for noise type stuff (not straight up harsh, I like the more, hmm, 'psych'/dissonant classical type of noise, but these are a good start)
Someone's already mentioned The Haxan Cloak
and his S/T is the best example of modern dissonant classical I can think of along with Johnny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood (although not dissonant so much as oppressive) & Ethel's 'Heavy'. Those are all quite obvious ones but definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard.
also dunno if this goes here but what the hell
new Clams Casino mixtape.
Man, Panabrite is knocking out LPs like nobodies business at the minute
One of the best album covers I've seen yet this year
Veli-Matti O Äijälä ?– Raskas Taakka
This is brillintly weird. One sided LP with noisey, pitch black machinery grinding away in the background whilst vocals that sound like they're from Twin Peaks' Black Lodge.
good eai
http://www.auditionrecords.com/ar053.php (free)
kfw new'un!
could've done w/ a d/l link but whatever
Can't stop listening to this so gave it a quick n dirty review
Only halfway through the opening track
but holy shit! Really trance-inducing.
say I wanted some sound collagey type things
what would you recommend?... nothing too 'academic' or whatever please, prefer it silly
^this is a terrible description, basically a license to rec whatever you want
(good thread btw)
I only really know anything about radiphonic/musique concrete type stuff,
i.e. tape loops and sound manipulation etc. but if you're interested in any of that you should definitely try:
- F.C. Judd - Electronics Without Tears
- Daphne Oram - Oramics/The Oram Tapes
- Frank Gartner - Dramatics Electronic
- Delia Darbyshire - Inventions for Radio: Dreams (Really terrifying stuff; just recordings of people describing their dreams over dark minimal synth/tape stuff. Weird!)
Apologies if that's not at all what you meant.oneforghost this'd this
sorry meant to answer this ages ago, my no. 1 recommendation is joseph hammer's 'i love you, please love me too'
got to get off to the lib. now but if you need some more i'll organise my thoughts and come up w/ 2nd & 3rd suggestions later.
^that's my favourite from the last couple of years tho
- anal_schwarzenegger this'd this
completely forgot I posted in this thread
I'll look into the stuff recommended so far, that I've not heard (pretty much all of it)
John Wiese - Soft Punk
it's like right in between sound collage and noise maybe? Collage of mic pops/feedback etc from instruments. Really detailed sounding & cool.
play it loud.mug_mug_mug this'd this
first time I heard it was between bands at a gig super loud over the PA & it blew my mind a bit.
there are like snippets of music too
it's an album for everyone.
Moth Cock - s/t [Tusco Embassy]
Weird creeping, bleak thing. Experimedia describes it as aural poison gas and that pretty much nails it i think
has anyone else heard 'This Skin is Rust' by Twenty Six?
bewildering, haunted drone/noise trip from 1995 that I have come to realise was by no other than Johnny Jewel, of all people.
I have that!
Bought on recommendation at Rough Trade in Covent Garden. Never found out any info about it, but a great record.
it's one of a number of rare noisey records I'd like on vinyl.
'Blondes Chew More Gum' by The Lost Domain is another, although it isn't rare anymore. think it was cassette originally, but got a vinyl pressing recently.
NOOooooooo ;__;
"***Second Layer Records Highgate Shop Closing***
Saturday 23rd June will be the final day of the Highgate shop. There are a multitude of reasons why I have decided to close but in summary: 1) I have a lot of things I want to do outside of the shop and cannot justify the time spent here; 2) The majority of customers now reserve records via phone/email and simply collect, and although this is not a problem in itself, the role of running Second Layer Records as a public shop with set opening hours seems increasingly redundant to me.
I've been blessed with unbelievably cheap rent that has enabled me to survive but that is no reason to stay when your enthusiasm is waning. I have to be enjoying myself to do this – there is no point otherwise – so it now feels right to move on and use the time for other things.
I want to say a big thanks to everyone who has supported the shop over the years. I've had a lot of fun and I've met some really great people that will not be forgotten.
***PLEASE NOTE: The mail-order will be carrying on as per usual and customers will be able to collect records from a North London location by appointment only.***"
(from their mailout this morning)
Gonna have to go there for final pilgrimages! :S
I did ^_^
Bought a bunch of stuff and had nice times hanging out with noise friends after.
here's a tape we've put out that may well fall into this thread's remit. you may recognise joe from a certain barn owl obsessed drowned in sound column. :)

Ekoplekz/Nick Edwards - Plekzationz
New album coming out on Editions Mego and its sounding wicked.
What I've heard of the new Helm record is pretty great
It's loud throughout and really quite unsettling in places.
I hope they put up some mp3s soon, I can't be doing with this expensive vinyl only deal.
Went to see Ben Frost last night (trio: Frost, a drummer and a cellist) and he blew me away. I like his loud industrial rave type stuff, but when he tones it down it's amazing. They did a loose version of O God Protect Me where it actually sounded like they were playing the building. One of the most incredible things I've seen live. Roly Porter was supporting and sounded pretty great but needs to work on actually 'performing' his stuff imho.
Also torn between posting this in this thread or the rolling dance mongrel one
But I think it's a bit freeform to be called dance.
Really liking this DJ Purple Image record. Library music/noise/4 on the floor and almost everything in between.
I'll have to check that
sounds interesting
Lander 5 - Epiphyte Hall
Kind of messed up House blended in with weird synthiness. Really good on my first couple of listens. He did a split tape with Pete Swanson last year thats good too.
Dariius - Dariius [Salon]
I've been pimping this a lot but it's worth it, it's 'deep house' but sounds like nothing i've ever heard under that banner before, s'by Driphouse.

Noisy, kinda gruesome shapes twisted into something like techno.

this. 'Coordinated Universal Time' by Alastair Galbraith a piece of what is so far proving to be a compelling and beautiful piece of sound art.
stumbled across it by searching for that man on filestube or filetram out of curiosity (relax, I'm going to buy a few solo & A Handful of Dust records when I get paid).

New Jon Porras as DVVLLXNS
is a interesting switch of pace and theme, doing the 'picking up techno' thing but the results are really kaleidoscopic and interesting.
Don Cherry's Organic Music Society just got repressed.
It was fiendishly expensive on vinyl before. Beautiful spiritual/world jams with Cherry stretching outsides the boundaries of jazz. Very free playing but deep and meditative rather than furious and atonal. Essential record.oneforghost and freddiehubbard this'd this
Will be trying to get a copy of this
Heard it at a friend's house and it blew my mind.
I've only ever heard 'Brown Rice'
I say only; it was a bit of a revelation. like a spirit quest through a sandstone valley weathered and warped by centuries of fierce winds. or, y'know, whatever.
... i always say this, but anything before 1982 = worth a look (i dig mu, human music ^ that one, the penderecki one, symphony for improvisers & where is brooklyn the most tho.)
High Aura'd - Sanguine Features [Bathetic Records]
Absolutely all-consuming stuff, the artwork perfectly conveys the sound.
Forgot about this thread
So who picked up the Keijo Haino 'power trios'?
The Helm record?
The Mika Vainio / Kevin Drumm / Axel Dörner / Lucio Capece collab?
Particularly interested in your thoughts on the latter two.
I got the first one and it's superb.
Short of money at the moment; what should I be listening to/buying when my grant comes in?
PAN sent me both of those on promo
And shamefully I've not listened to either yet :(
I listened to the first track of the Helm at lunch today and it scared the shit out of me
Felt like I was in a tool shed and all the bits and pieces began rattling violently around me as some distant tidal wave or other apocalyptic disaster rumbled closer and closer.
Oh and there's sounds of jungle animals mixed in
The whole thing instills blind headless panic, can't wait to hear the rest.
I'm putting on a pretty SERIOUS lineup at Ryan's Bar on 4th Aug

Venexia is great
as is this other Vainio ~ Fe3O4 - Magnetite
Alessandro Bosetti ~ Royals

This was on this month's Wire Tapper. I really like it, lots of clattery noises and things falling, underlaid with harmonious piano fills. It plays between beauty and chaos. This is just an excerpt, I'm afraid I can't find the full thing.

A facebook friend just posted this on my wall, looks interesting!
I think its fair to say that this may be the very last piece of true Radiophonics that will ever be produced – Jim Jupp of Ghostbox
''The Ghosts Of Bush' was created entirely using the natural acoustic sounds of Bush House, the iconic home for the past seven decades of the BBC World Service which closed its doors for the last time on July 12th 2012. All of the sounds were captured in the small hours of the morning in empty offices, corridors, stairwells and other hidden corners by a Studio Manager working overnight. These recordings were then dubbed onto quarter-inch tape in the basement studio deep in the bowels of the South-East wing using two of the surviving reel-to-reel machines.
Adjusting the playback speed of the spools and 'bouncing' the recordings between the two tape machines lead to the discovery of a number of interesting phrases and sound textures which were then looped, layered and fashioned into rough compositions. Over time the tape would start to degrade and alter the nature of the sounds, while occasional echo was created by recording and playing various loops simultaneously, feeding the sound back into itself. The entire album was produced using these simple methods, and no other effects or studio trickery have been used. Thanks to the sonorous quality of Bush House's Portland stone walls and high ceilings, the natural resonance of the space was all that was needed.
These are the sounds the building makes when it thinks no-one is listening, the sounds of many sleepless nights spent isolated in a labyrinthine basement surrounding by a crepuscular soundtrack of creaks and crackles. It's an attempted homage to the work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop who crafted the most incredible of sound-worlds from the most basic of sources. But mostly it's my way of saying goodbye to a building that I and so many people have loved.
When talking of historic structures, the old clichéd approach is to wonder what one might hear if the 'walls could speak'. I like to think that with 'The Ghosts Of Bush' we come closer to hearing them sing: One last song about the passage of time and the impermanence of all things, with the ghosts of the machines joining in. The last hurrah of a bygone era, of obsolete equipment and of a studio that has since fallen silent forever.

This is going to be ASTONISHING:
Extreme Rituals: A Schimpfluch Carnival
30 November - 2 December 2012
Arnolfini, Bristol
Produced by:
Sound and Music in partnership with Arnolfini, Tusk Music, Harbinger Sound, Second Layer Records and The Live Art Development Agency
A three-day series of performances, talks and more devoted to the legacy of the Swiss performance group Schimpfluch.
Founded in Zürich in 1987, Rudolf Eb.er created Schimpfluch, a platform for extreme and outsider artists and the generation of highly disturbing and irritating audio/visual works. Gradually expanding to the Schimpfluch-Gruppe art-collective, Eb.er and Joke Lanz have since channelled grotesque humour into an ongoing series of confrontational radio broadcasts, physically demanding performances, 'abreaction plays' and 'psycho-physical tests and trainings'.
Rejecting any given norm and genre, tearing down mental barriers, unlocking all gates to the nether regions of the human psyche, their celebrated work aims to unlock an awareness of existence and encourages the audience to 'get off the plane of miseducated adulthood'.
The Extreme Rituals carnival is a long-overdue retrospective and a celebration of Schimpfluch. Through an extensive programme will highlight the influence Schimpfluch has had since the late 80s, with audiences treated to a selection of performances, sound-installations, films, photographs and contextualising panel discussions. Alongside core Schimpfluch acts such as Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck, Sudden Infant, G*Park and Dave Phillips this carnival weekender features rare UK appearances by international guest artists such as GX Jupitter-Larsen, Phurpa and Vagina Dentata Organ.
Extreme Rituals also features performances by:
Trevor Wishart
The New Blockaders
Junko Hiroshige (Hijokaidan)
Bryan Lewis Saunders
Vicky Langan (Wölflinge)
Alice Kemp
Daniel Löwenbrück
Ute Waldhausen
Doreen Kutzke

Currently only Early Birds are on sale, individual day tickets will be available at a later date.
Mike Shiflet & Pete Swanson - Split
Both sides of this are wonderful, pushed me back to retry and enjoy 'Merciless' too.
Sunk Series~ Cool new tape label set up by Jimmy Billingham/Tidal, the Tuluum Shimmering collab is stellar.
Mark Lord continues to make some of the best nu-wave/habadashery techno, think this one has a free download somewhere or other
new Swanson on Type sounding good
there's the collab w/ Tom Carter on MIE too, but I've not heard any of that yet.

I heard Snowflakes Are Dancing (1974) by Isao Tomita for the first time today
Does that fit in this thread? Just wanted to say it's amazing.
just got this ex-easter island head record.
loving it. check it out if you like the sound of guitars being used as percussion.
New Vatican Shadow stuff is good.

Hot on the heels of the news that Chinese wind power produced more electricity than nuclear last year, comes the announcement that China's wind power production grew more than coal power production for the first time ever in 2012, according to statistics from the China Energy Council.
Thermal power using mostly coal increased by only about 0.3% in China last year, the statistics noted, an addition of roughly 12 terawatt hours (TWh) more electricity.
"In contrast, wind power production expanded by about 26 TWh," according to a blog posted on the Energy Collective written recently about the statistics by Li Shuo, a climate and energy campaigner with Greenpeace East Asia.
"This rapid expansion brings the total amount of wind power production in China to 100 TWh, surpassing China's 98 TWh of nuclear power."

We seem to be hitting a lot of projectors this year, but it's no surprise since most manufacturers are releasing new 3D models that can do justice to the newest 3D Blu-ray movies. The Home Cinema 5010 is Epson's 1080p 3D projector that targets the enthusiast… make that the premier enthusiast. The 5010 is the highest model in Epson's Home Cinema lineup and it's designed to produce the richest blacks, the highest contrast ratios and the most detailed picture possible. We utilize the company's 9700UB, which is the professional model of the 8700UB, which this projector replaces. If you didn't catch all that just… rewind the video and hopefully it'll all come together for you… The 5010 ups the output of its predecessor to 2400 lumens. Now while we don't typically need that much light in home theaters, in 3D mode you lose a significant amount of the brightness due to the way the glasses are constantly closing and opening over each eye. With 2400 lumens and custom calibration options for 3D, Epson takes care of that and lets you calibrate the set for optimal 3D performance.
They're not messing around. And for $3000 they probably shouldn't. And look at it – the projector looks incredible. It even comes with an automatic retracting lens protector that slides in place when you power down, so the expensive glass stays protected from dust and dirt. Even the control panel has a sliding door. Inside, the Epson 5010 uses a high-end Fujinon lens assembly and has 100% horizontal and 50% vertical lens shift. Basically you put the projector anywhere in the room and you're likely to hit the screen perfectly with no keystoning.
The Epson menu system and remote are equally simple to use. All inputs are directly available and you have easy access to all of the settings and calibration options you'll need. When we used CalMan software and calibration tools to set up this projector, however, we found that the Cinema Color mode was really close to our desired target and all it took was bumping up the color temperature a bit to get it more or less spot on. While we support having someone calibrate your projector for optimal picture quality, it's also nice to know you don't have to in order to get a pristine picture when you first plug it in.
Watching 2D content on this projector was incredible. Blacks were deep and rich and colors really popped. It really was indistinguishable from our reference 9700UB, particularly after calibration, except that it seemed to have even deeper blacks if that's possible. We did also like Epson's revised Frame Interpolation processing. While it doesn't appeal to us on live acting film, it was fun to engage on animated features and some TV shows. There seemed to be less artifacting on this go-around than in past iterations of Epson's 120Hz processing as well. Epson also has a feature called Super Resolution which is supposed to sharpen images. We didn't see much effect until it was at its highest setting at which point the edges began to show halos and we turned it off. With Cinema mode engaged and all the fancy modes turned off, we watched
