Established to bring the very best of the contemporary art scene to the public view, and to offer the finest service to buyer and artist alike, UNIONgallery is a gallery with a...
Summer Garden Party
Yes, it's all sunshine and roses for the Summer Garden Party at the Union Gallery, an exhibition of regular, favourite artists, including Patsy McArthur, James Newton Adams, Megan Chapman, Lucy Jones, Colin Brown and Sophie McKay Knight and Joyce Gunn Cairns. Expect a distinctively diverse showcase of amazing abstracts, fabulous flowers, posed portraits, lavish landscapes, architectural artwork, galloping horses, punchy Pop Art and comical Caricatures.
On the dove-grey painted wall to the left as you step inside, is a row of five stunning Abstract Expressionist "landscapes" by Megan Chapman, under a series title, "Echoes and Memory."
"The foundation of my work is in the balancing of shape and line with colour, texture, and atmosphere. I enjoy creating meditative places to get lost in, such as how we dance between our inner and outer selves... to explore our connection to the world as we navigate the push and pull of life."
Henry Jabbour at the UNIONgallery
12 March 2017
Like many others locally, we've missed the Union Gallery since its removal from Broughton Street to larger premises on Drumsheugh Place.
A visit to the West End on Friday showed that Union's owner Alison Auldjo has lost none of her knack for finding and nurturing great new talent, most recently that of Henry Jabbour.
Jabbour came late to painting, and was already a successful scientist with the Medical Research Council by the time he joined Leith School of Art in 2005. Consumed by this new calling, he became a full-time artist two years later.
This Life to Me is his first solo exhibition, and it's a phenomenally successful debut.

An Edinburgh scientist is to open his first solo art exhibition after leaving behind his career to follow his dream.
Henry Jabbour worked for nearly 20 years in the Medical School at Edinburgh University but quit in 2010 to pursue his love of art full-time.
Despite training to be a biologist, Henry found his true calling in painting and has since studied at Leith School of Art in Edinburgh and the New York Academy of Art.
His prints and portraiture work have won praise in the art world and he is now preparing for the launch of his first solo exhibition this weekend.
A solo exhibition by Jenny Matthews: UNIONgallery – a bouquet of fragrant flowers
6 September 2016
UNIONgallery is owned and managed by contemporary artist Alison Auldjo. Originally opening on Broughton Street in 2009, the stylish new premises at the West End has the ideal space and design over two floors to show solo exhibitions, mixed collections, crafts and sculpture. The emphasis is on showing work from established painters who do not exhibit in Scotland, to exciting new Scottish and international talent.
Jenny Matthews studied at Edinburgh College of Art under Elizabeth Blackadder DBE, John Houston and Ann Oran, graduating in 1986. Since then, she has earned a fine reputation as an accomplished watercolourist, exhibiting in the UK and abroad.
Stepping into the Uniongallery to see her new solo exhibition, 'Sapphire Skies,' is like taking a stroll across country meadows and along the seashore, so tangible that you can almost smell the fragrant flowers. The soft shades of pinks, mauve, coral red and corn yellow, capture their natural beauty and texture, from beautifully arranged vases and bouquets to land and seacapes and decorative still life compositions.
Here are the first buds of Spring and Summer gardens, a flourish of sweet peas, irises and parrot tulips, as well as pretty thrift and lichen sprouting along the rocky shore at St. Abbs. The artistry is exquisite, meticulous botanical drawings, detailing each petal, stamen, puffs of pollen and green leaf, enhanced through the subtle tone and translucent quality of watercolour.

UNIONGallery, 4 Drumsheugh Pl, Edinburgh
Exhibition continues until September 12
Open Monday to Saturday 10.30am – 5.30pm
The UNION Gallery had their first solo exhibition launch at their new premises on Drumsheugh Place this week, and what a strong first impression it was! The new space, previously a low ceilinged charity shop, is unrecognisable as a classic Edinburgh gallery, resplendent with cornicing and high ceilings! It makes for a fantastic space to show off the works of award-winning water-colourist Jenny Mathews in her third solo exhibition.
The pieces on display are varied in style and dimension but all share a distinctly high quality and impressive artistic feel. With several pieces having been reserved even as they were being hung, it was obvious that Jenny's work is in high demand. Large works to tie whole rooms together were displayed, alongside horizontal sets, unusual for the artist, and smaller high-detail pieces. Jenny studied botanical illustration under Dame Elizabeth Blackadder and the inspiration is clear in her work, supremely detailed botanical images but with a clear style of her own.

Nestled in a listed timber building, layered with time and industry, I find Colin Brown working on his latest painting. Natural light from the window streams in on the easel, illuminating layers of detail and experience. For twenty years Brown's studio in the Northeast coastal town of Stonehaven has been a harbour for his practice. For an artist driven to excavate cumulative human marks, it's a welcome place of regeneration. Here he can sift materials gathered from his travels and transform them into dynamic, finely balanced compositions.
Brown's distinctive work combines painting and collage techniques, formal design and accidental marks in ways that evoke the passing of time and experience of generations. We feel that these highly crafted surfaces could be sections of city walls plastered over with signage, subject to erosion and the density of human life. Unlike many post Warhol contemporary artists that use urban fragments, Brown's emphasis is not mainstream cultural references or commentary. The energy of European cities like Berlin with their human history and vibrant reinvention, free his work from the dead shine of American Pop Culture.
Artist Interviews on the Jackson's Art Website
26th July 2018 by Julie Caves
Megan Chapman is an American artist from Fayetteville, Arkansas who lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her abstract paintings are a balancing of shape and line with colour. In addition to her painting, Megan mentors artists, she has created a series of videos called Tuesday Studio Video Visits and for the last 11 years she has written about her practice each week on her studio blog. Her paintings have recently been a part of the HBO TV series True Detective. I asked Megan some questions about her painting practice and ideas.
Julie: Tell us a little bit about your artistic background/education.
Megan: I grew up in a house full of books, music, and art, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Because of this, I have always been interested in the arts ever since I was a small child. Ultimately painting became the strongest calling.
16th August 2017
Kevin Low is an artist living and working in Glasgow, his new exhibition Women & Men is currently on show at the Union Gallery in Edinburgh.
What drives your passion – when did you know that art is what you wanted to do?
It's an obsession. It's something I have to do, or I get sick. I hesitate to say that because I think that's how most artists feel. I don't have a choice. That makes it sound like it's a chore, like being bullied by the subconscious, but nah, it's a bloody thrill, every time. There is nothing better in the world than creating stuff.
As a kid, I grew up on a farm. I expected to become a cattleman, I really did. It was a very small world. I think it was pop music that gave me that first buzz in my gut, that invitation to step away from the 'real world'. Mr David Bowie, I owe you a lot.
You trained initially as a biologist and worked as a scientist, has this part of your past influenced your current art practice of painting people?
I am sure it has but sometimes it is very difficult to pinpoint how.
I firmly believe that the way I look at, and my empathy towards, the human figure is hugely influenced and informed by my past experiences (being brought up in Lebanon at the time of the civil war) and my subsequent education.

LOS ANGELES � Singer Marc Bolan's son is suing a music publisher for more than $2 million, alleging the company didn't renew its contract to use the British glam rocker's hits, including �Bang a Gong (Get It On)� and �Jeepster.�
Roland Seymour Feld filed the lawsuit against Westminster Music Limited in Los Angeles court last week, alleging copyright violations.
Feld alleges the copyrights to his father's songs expired at the end of 1999, making him the sole owner and administrator of the songs, as the rocker's sole heir.
Bolan, whose real name was Mark Feld, was best known as front man of glam rock group T. Rex. He died in a car accident in 1977.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- Funny as it may seem, the feature that attracted us to our home is the feature that many would consider a deterrent, the ceiling mounted radiators. We love that they free up some floor space plus add a cool industrial feeling to our cozy garden dwelling. Additionally, we couldn't live without our full size windows... a rarity for garden apartments. They allow plenty of light to flood in and create warm pockets for our dogs to bask away their days. Ultimately, the thing that we love most is that we have been able to personalize our space to reflect who we are. We both continue to be inspired by the southwest and have collected many pieces that remind us of wonderful times in New Mexico.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- The biggest challenge we have seems to be a common one amongst the "small cool" group, lack of closet/storage space. Although we do have a storage locker, we still feel as though we are bursting at the seams. The way we manage this challenge is by purging our closets at least twice a year. Living in a smaller home forces you to evaluate what is truly a necessity and what you can live without.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Cowboys coach Wade Phillips promised that this training camp would be much tougher and that he would be more involved. He kept his promises.
Dallas wrapped up three weeks of training camp Wednesday in the Alamodome with their 31st workout in 22 days; there were two workouts on half of those days. There was a two-day stretch in that span when they had the preseason opener in Oakland followed by their only day off.
"I am trying to do what helps this team. It's a long season and the mental toughness is part of it," Phillips said. "I say the mental part of it. When you get tired, that's when the mental process comes in. I thought it was good for our guys. I think they have come through it well."
Phillips, who is also now his own defensive coordinator, is going into the final year of his contract after a season when the team went from being a preseason Super Bowl favorite to missing the playoffs.
His players noticed the new, tougher sessions this time around.
"This camp has been like two of the other camps put together. I haven't heard anyone call this one cupcake," linebacker Bradie James said.
"It's been a lot more detailed collectively," added tight end Jason Witten. "I think we've made it harder. ... It's been a great focus and minimum distractions."
With Terrell Owens and Adam "Pacman" Jones gone, the HBO "Hard Knocks" cameras at another camp and pop singer Jessica Simpson no longer shadowing starting quarterback Tony Romo, it was a drama-free three weeks in San Antonio.
"We definitely needed less drama. The dramatics, the saga, the soap opera, that's pretty much gone," James said. "We are still America's team and there will be things that come up. But this camp has been strictly football."
The Cowboys broke camp relatively healthy. Fullback Deon Anderson had arthroscopic surgery last week on his left knee, but cornerbacks Terence Newman (groin) and Mike Jenkins (ankle) returned to practice this week after missing the preseason opener.
Dallas plays its preseason home opener Friday night against Tennessee, which will be the first NFL game played in the new $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium. They resume preseason workouts after that at their Valley Ranch facility, where they haven't practiced since a canopy at the indoor practice facility collapsed May 2.
The likable Phillips, who has tried to downplay his tougher stance, believes his team is responding to the challenge after the disappointment of last season.
"I talk to them every day and every night. It's been discussed, what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it," Phillips said. "When I ask them to do things, they've responded. I think that's the way it ought to be coaching-wise certainly, and player-wise. I feel good about our players and our camp."
Like so many others, James had a difficult time imagining the easygoing Phillips getting tougher and being effective.
After offseason workouts and training camp, James no longer is wondering.
"He's almost like a new coach. He knows what's at stake. He knows we have to have a winning season," James said. "He's been different. He said he was going to be different. I didn't know how he was going to pull it off, but he has. I'm just trying to deal with this guy."

Gym bag 101: what to bring to spin class
With energizing music and a supportive and challenging group dynamic, indoor cycling classes are anything but your average ride on a stationary bike. Here's what you need to start pedaling like a pro:
Pearl Izumi X-Road Fuel shoes
Investing in specialized cycling shoes instead of regular trainers means you can more effectively harness your pedaling force by locking into the pedals (most indoor bikes use an SPD cleat pattern). The X-Road accepts SPD cleats and with heel support and walking tread is flexible enough to wear off the bike as well.
Buy it: $99.99 at Bike Barn, 5935 Kirby
Energy tank
Take those cycling jumps with confidence in this supportive tank by Athleta that stretches and moves with you. The pocket in the back means never having to find a place for your gym I.D.
Buy it: $34.99-$69 at Athleta, 600 W. Sam Houston Parkway N.
Hybrid cycling short
Riding hard is good, going numb south of the border is not. Padded cycling shorts are designed to increase comfort on the bike by using anatomic seams and decreasing pressure in the seat. Lycra both supports muscles and allows the material to breathe and dry quickly.
Buy it: $50 at Sun N Ski Sport; Southwest Schwinn, 6607 S. Braeswood
SilverSport Towel
The first rule of spin class is that you will sweat - a lot. The second rule of spin class is bring a towel. The SilverSport Silver Towel is made of soft and sustainable bamboo with nanosilver particles that act as a natural antibacterial agent, eliminating odor and germs.
Buy it: $20.50 at Sports Authority, Bed Bath & Beyond
Forerunner 110
Monitor how efficient and healthy your pace is with a wristwatch that doubles as a heart rate monitor, logging an accurate count of calories burned as you ride. You can also use GPS data on a run; simply click start and it monitors your distance and pace.
Buy it: $199.95, at REI
Limitless Futura tank top
While many spinners pick moisture-wicking spandex tops, there's another school that swears by loose-fitting cotton tanks, which allow the body room to breathe in crowded classes.
Buy it: $25, at Academy

Hello everyone! A couple weeks ago I posted a bit of an introductry of my situation with my Daughter, and her "other" family.. At the time I didnt realize how serious it was, and now Im at a complete loss and need some advice!
Ok, well, I have since found out that my Daughters "other family" help out at a churches homeless shelter for recovering addicts and other misc. people, and they trust them, alone, with the small children! That concerns me there, but on top of that, one of the people who was staying at this homeless shelter, has been kicked out and is now LIVING with my Daughter and her step-mom!
Now they wont tell me anything about this lady, for one, why is she homeless (by poor luck, or drugs) and it was my Daughter who informed me she was from the shelter. My boys who had gone with them there a couple times confermed she was really from there.
My Daughter tells me that this lady babysits her and her younger sibblings, and also that she is allowed to give baths, and that she has bathed my daughter!
I was appauled when I heard that, but there is no saying anything to the other half, they would just say, as they always do, "Jesus has called to me and told me I must take care of this person"!
That is not the only behavior that concerns me, they have a "mission clothing exchange store" in their living room that they open up to everyone in the community on saturdays and sundays, and they dont live on a great side of town, there is a lot of crazy people in the area!
And, on top of that, they had my boys one time when I had to rush to the hospital, the forced my boys to a church with them, and my Daughters dad told the people in charge that they must hire him, "for I am the next Christ, and I can save your people in 2012!" Exact words! And yes, he does believe this!!
I am at a lost, I dont know where to go from here! Any advice, words of wisdom, anything!!

Futures slammed by bond spikes, doubts about China
NEW YORK (AP) — The Federal Reserve's hazy timetable for winding down its stimulus programs and new signs of a cash strain in China are hammering global markets and U.S. stock futures.
Dow Jones industrial futures are down 110 points to 14,601. S&P futures have given up 13.3 points to 1,570.80. Nasdaq futures are down 16.75 points to 2,848.25.
Yields on U.S. debt are reaching levels not seen since late 2011 as markets gauge the pace at which the Fed will ease back on its bond-buying program.
And on Monday, The People's Bank of China told banks that they are on their own in securing cash. The central bank said "commercial banks should pay close attention to the market liquidity situation, to strengthen the liquidity factors analysis and forecasting."
Shares in Chinese banks plunged.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The host MIT rifle team continued its early season surge by soundly defeating John Jay College of Criminal Justice, 4453-4199, in Mid-Atlantic Rifle conference action this past weekend.
The Engineers (2-0) out-shot the Bloodhounds in smallbore, 2214-2036, getting strong outings from Emily Houston, Nigel Kojimoto, Jen Paek, and freshman Elizabeth Phillips. Houston and Kojimoto tied with a top score of 567 out of 600. Kojimoto lost only one point on his first prone target, while Houston lost only two marks on her last kneeling target.
Paek and Phillips rounded out the scoring team. Paek posted a strong 545, while Phillips shot a solid 535 in her second career smallbore match.
Freshman Tim Jenks, meanwhile, fired a 494 in a great start to his collegiate career.
Also competing for MIT were Justine Li (506), Lionel Sotomayor (488), Matthew Pires (479), Dominic Solis (438), and Christian Valledor (430).
Stephen Zawislak fired a 564 to lead John Jay, while Stephen Wilson followed with a 557.
MIT also outscored the visitors in air rifle, 2239-2163. Houston's tally of 580 led the day, while Zawislak slotted second overall with a 568. Kojimoto and Wilson tied for a close third at 566. Paek and Lee also finished strong at 547 and 546 to complete the team scoring.
Phillips (532), Sotomayor (528), Pires (489), and Valledor (474) also competed for MIT.
"The depth of MIT's rifle team showed through," head coach Jerry Mulloy said.
Wentworth Institute of Technology also defeated John Jay, 4356-4199, at MIT this past weekend.

"I'm hoping, under the circumstances, there will be cooperation on behalf of the residents of Nassau County so that we can get a budget through," Gonsalves said.
Legislative committees are scheduled to meet on Oct. 15, and the full Legislature will meet on Oct. 29 to vote on the budget. If it is not approved, the Legislature will have to adopt the county's 2012-13 budget as a contingency spending plan.
According to Gonsalves, however, the Legislature could meet again, after the special election, to pass the 2013-14 budget.
Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat from Hempstead and the Legislature's minority leader, said it would send "the wrong message" to credit rating agencies if the county did not pass a budget on time. "There's been a lot of animosity and a lot of turmoil in the Legislature, especially this past year," Abrahams said. "Now is an opportunity that we're in a position, where it's nine Democrats and nine Republicans, to really roll up our sleeves and work together. From that standpoint, it might be something that actually gets done. I think the people of Nassau County deserve that."

Watching this excellent episode the other day it occured to me that Evilseed might be symbolizing marijuana.
Funny that a hooded man sells some bad seeds. When we see him talking to Skeletor on Skeletor's big screen me and my cousin laughed and pointed out that is looked like a drug dealer.
Not to mention it's "weeds" that grow and overtake everything.
I think they may have been secretly pointing out the evils of pot with Evilseed.

The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979, and are considered pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career. Following several acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson left the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist. Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members ultimately pursuing various projects. A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.[1] The Replacements never had significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You", which hit No. 1 on the Alt Rock Billboard listing, but they influenced numerous alternative rock acts.
The Replacements' music was influenced by rock artists such as the Rolling Stones, Faces, Big Star, Slade, Badfinger, Lou Reed and the Beatles as well as punk rock bands such as the Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Dead Boys and the Clash. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the Replacements played "heart-on-the-sleeve"[2] rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl"[3] with self-deprecating lyrics. The Replacements were a notoriously wayward live act, often performing under the influence of alcohol and playing (fragments of) covers instead of their own material.

Formation and early years (1978–1980)
The Replacements' history began in Minneapolis in 1978, when nineteen-year-old Bob Stinson gave his eleven-year-old brother Tommy Stinson a bass guitar to keep him off the streets.[4] That year Bob met Mars, a high school dropout. With Mars playing guitar and then switching to drums, the trio called themselves "Dogbreath" and began covering songs by Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Yes[5] without a singer.[6] One day, as Westerberg, a janitor in U.S. Senator's David Durenberger's office,[7] was walking home from work, he heard a band playing in the Stinsons' house.[8] After being impressed by the band's performance, Westerberg regularly listened in after work. Mars knew Westerberg and invited him over to jam; Westerberg was unaware Mars drummed in Dogbreath.[5]
Dogbreath auditioned several vocalists, including a hippie who read lyrics off a sheet.[9] The band eventually found a vocalist; however, Westerberg wanted to be the singer and took him aside one day to say, "The band doesn't like you."[5] The vocalist soon left, and Westerberg replaced him.[5] Before Westerberg joined the band, Dogbreath often drank and took various drugs during rehearsals, playing songs as an afterthought.[4] In contrast to the rest of the band, the relatively disciplined Westerberg appeared at rehearsals in neat clothes and insisted on practicing songs until he was happy with them.[10]
After the band members discovered first-generation English punk bands like the Clash, the Jam, the Damned and the Buzzcocks, Dogbreath changed its name to the Impediments and played a drunken performance without Tommy Stinson at a church hall gig in June 1980.[11] After being banned from the venue for disorderly behavior, they changed the name to the Replacements.[12] In an unpublished memoir, Mars later explained the band's choice of name: "Like maybe the main act doesn't show, and instead the crowd has to settle for an earful of us dirtbags....It seemed to sit just right with us, accurately describing our collective 'secondary' social esteem".[10]
Demo tape and Twin/Tone Records (1980–1981)
The band soon recorded a four-song demo tape in Mars's basement[13] and handed it to Peter Jesperson in May 1980. Jesperson was the manager of Oar Folkjokeopus, a punk rock record store in Minneapolis,[14] and had also founded Twin/Tone Records with Paul Stark (a local recording engineer) and Charley Hallman. Westerberg originally handed in the tape to see if the band could perform at Jay's Longhorn Bar, a local venue where Jesperson worked as a disc jockey.[15] (The band's first performance at a bar was at the Longhorn, on July 2, 1980.)[16] He eavesdropped on Jesperson's office as Jesperson put in the tape, only to run away as soon as the first song, "Raised in the City", played.[10] Jesperson played the song again and again. "If I've ever had a magic moment in my life, it was popping that tape in", said Jesperson. "I didn't even get through the first song before I thought my head was going to explode".[17]
Jesperson called Westerberg the next day, asking, "So do you want to do a single or an album?"[11][15] With the agreement of Stark and the rest of the band, the Replacements signed to Twin/Tone Records in 1980.[18] Jesperson's support of the band was welcomed, and they asked him to be their manager after their second show. Later that summer, they played at the Longhorn on a Wednesday "New Band Night". They also played several club gigs to almost empty rooms; when they finished a song, apart from the low hum of conversation, the band would hear Jesperson's loud whistle and fast clapping. "His enthusiasm kept us going at times, definitely," Mars later said. "His vision, his faith in the band was a binding force."[11]
After the Replacements signed to Twin/Tone, Westerberg began to write new songs and soon had a whole album's worth of material. Mere weeks after their live debut, the band felt ready to record the album. Jesperson chose Blackberry Way, an eight-track home studio in Minneapolis; however, as the band had no clout there, time spent in the studio was intermittent, and so it took about six months to record the album.[19] Although not important at the time, Twin/Tone could not afford to release the album until August 1981. Because they were suspicious of the music business in general, the Replacements had not signed a written contract with Twin/Tone Records.[3]
Early releases (1981–1982)
When the band's first album, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, finally appeared in August 1981, it received positive reviews in local fanzines. Option's Blake Gumprecht wrote, "Westerberg has the ability to make you feel like you're right in the car with him, alongside him at the door, drinking from the same bottle."[19] The album contained the band's first single, "I'm in Trouble", Westerberg's "first truly good song".[19] Sorry Ma included the song, "Somethin to Dü", a homage to another Minneapolis punk band, Hüsker Dü.[20] The Replacements had a friendly rivalry with the band, which started when Twin/Tone chose the Replacements over Hüsker Dü,[21] and Hüsker Dü landed an opening slot at a Johnny Thunders gig that the Replacements had wanted.[22] Hüsker Dü also influenced the band's music: the Replacements began playing faster and became more influenced by hardcore punk. Despite this, the band did not feel part of the hardcore scene. As Mars later stated, "We were confused about what we were."[21]
Sometime in late 1981, the Replacements played a song called "Kids Don't Follow".[citation needed] Jesperson was convinced the song sounded like a hit[23] and pleaded with the Twin/Tone co-owners Stark and Hallman, "I will do anything to get this out. I will hand-stamp jackets if I have to."[24] The partners agreed to fund the recording, but Jesperson and virtually everyone he knew had to hand-stamp ten thousand white record jackets.[24] The band recorded eight tracks within a week, with Jesperson as producer. Their "balls-to-the-wall hardcore punk attempt",[23] their first EP Stink, containing "Kids Don't Follow" and seven other songs, was released in June 1982, six months after the Chicago show.[23]
The Replacements began to distance themselves from the hardcore punk scene after the release of Stink. "We write songs rather than riffs with statements,"[25] Westerberg later stated. Inspired by other rock subgenres, he had been writing songs that incorporated a wide range of musical styles. He even wrote an acoustic ballad, "You're Getting Married One Night", but when he played it to the rest of the band, it was met with silence. "Save that for your solo album, Paul," Bob Stinson said. "That ain't the Replacements".[25] The track remained unreleased for years. Westerberg realized his toughest audience was the band itself, later saying, "If it doesn't rock enough, Bob will scoff at it, and if it isn't catchy enough, Chris won't like it, and if it isn't modern enough, Tommy won't like it."[25]
Hootenanny and Let It Be (1983–1984)
With a batch of new songs, the Replacements entered a warehouse in Roseville, Minnesota, to record their next album, with Twin/Tone co-owner Stark engineering. Westerberg wrote songs in stops and starts, so it took several sessions of recording to finish the album. Stark's meticulous approach to recording contrasted with that of the Replacements, often frustrating the band. In one session, Mars and Westerberg switched instruments, and the band began to improvise, with Westerberg repeatedly shouting, "It's a hootenanny." The band then declared it to be "side one, track one" of the new album.[26] According to Stark, the recording "was a complete joke from their point of view — they did not care what they delivered".[26]
Hootenanny, the band's second studio album, was released in April 1983. Hootenanny saw Westerberg expand his songwriting capabilities, In songs such as "Willpower", with echoed vocals and a sparse arrangement, and "Within Your Reach", which features Westerberg on all instruments, he revealed a more sensitive side.[26] It was a more mature album than Stink and Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. Hootenanny was played on over two hundred radio stations across the country, with critics acclaiming the album. Robert Christgau, writing in the Village Voice, deemed it "the most critically independent album of 1983".[27]
By Hootenanny's release, the Replacements had begun to attract a following outside of Minneapolis. The band embarked on its first tour of the U.S. in April 1983, joined by Bill Sullivan, a young security guard, as roadie, who approached the band after a show at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.[28] Tommy Stinson dropped out of the tenth grade to join the rest of the band on tour. The Replacements toured venues in the East Coast of the United States, including a tense gig at City Gardens, in Trenton, New Jersey, where numerous punks lined the edge of the stage as the band played.[25] The band performed in Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia, but its intended destination was New York City, where they played at Gerde's Folk City; they also performed at Maxwell's, in Hoboken, New Jersey.[29]
The Replacements returned to New York in June 1983, playing at CBGB. The gig was a failure; the band were almost refused entry, Bob Stinson was thrown out as soon as he walked in the door, and the Replacements were the last of five bands, which meant they played in the early morning on a Monday night. The show at Folk City was not a success, because "The Replacements were so loud and obnoxious that the people just cleared right out," according to manager Jesperson.[29] The band supported R.E.M. on an eight-date tour later that summer, deciding that they should alienate the audience as much as possible. It was not a successful tour; by the end, various members had threatened to leave the Replacements. Band morale was low, and Westerberg later stated, "We'd much rather play for fifty people who know us than a thousand who don't care."[30]
For the recording of their next studio album, the Replacements decided to return to Blackberry Way Studios in late 1983. The band considered R.E.M.'s guitarist Peter Buck as producer, but when they met him in Athens, Georgia, they did not have enough material to begin recording. Instead, Jesperson and Steve Fjelstad co-produced the album.[31] By this time, the Replacements had grown tired of playing loud and fast exclusively; Westerberg stated, "Now we're softening a little where we can do something that's a little more sincere without being afraid that someone's not going to like it or the punks aren't going to be able to dance to it."[32]
The new material placed more of a focus on songwriting, and the music was influenced by heavy metal, arena rock and Chicago blues. Instruments such as piano, twelve-string guitar and mandolin were featured throughout the album.[33] The new album included songs such as "I Will Dare", which featured Buck playing lead guitar;[34] "Androgynous", with Westerberg on piano; and "Unsatisfied", in which, according to writer Michael Azerrad, Westerberg "had hit upon a moving new way to declare that he can't get no satisfaction."[33] Let It Be was released in October 1984 to critical acclaim.[35] Robert Christgau gave the album an A+,[36] and the Seattle Rocket critic Bruce Pavitt called Let It Be "mature diverse rock that could well shoot these regional boys into the national mainstream".[35] In 1989, Let It Be was ranked No. 12 on Spin magazine's list of The 25 Greatest Albums of All Time[37] and No. 15 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s.
Early major-label releases (1985–1988)
Let It Be attracted the attention of major record labels, and by late 1984 several had expressed an interest in signing the Replacements.[38] Financially, the band was not doing well; they were not selling enough records to recoup their expenses, and money from shows went to recording costs, hotels, travel and instrument repairs. Bob Stinson worked a day job as a pizza chef.[39] Twin/Tone was not being paid reliably by distributors,[40] and the sales of Let It Be were not high enough to justify extra promotion. "It was time for a major label to take over," according to the label's co-owner Stark.[39] The band was close to a major label contract, but often alienated label representatives by intentionally performing badly in concert;[41] their 1985 live album, The Shit Hits the Fans, was an example of their concert performances at the time.
One label, the Warner Bros. Records subsidiary Sire Records, eventually signed the Replacements.[42] The band admired the label head Seymour Stein, who had managed the Ramones, and Stein recruited Tommy Ramone as producer for their first major label album.[43] Their first major-label release was Tim on Sire.[44]
After the release of Tim, the Replacements fired Bob Stinson, partly for being unwilling to play the band's "less rocked-out" material, and partly for being too drunk to try. They also fired Jesperson the same year. "It was like being thrown out of a club that you helped start," Jesperson later commented. "Everybody was drinking and doing more drugs than they needed to."[45]
Bob Stinson preferred the louder, faster style of the band's early music, while Westerberg was exploring new territory in ballads like "Here Comes a Regular" and "Swingin' Party". The remaining Replacements carried on as a trio for Pleased to Meet Me (1987), recorded in Memphis with Big Star producer Jim Dickinson. Minneapolis guitarist Slim Dunlap took over on lead guitar for the subsequent tour and soon became a full member of the band.
Following their performance on Saturday Night Live on January 18, 1986, the Replacements were banned from ever returning to the show; after performing an out-of-tune "Bastards of Young", they returned to stage wearing mismatched iterations of each other's clothing. (They also forgot some lyrics and didn't exactly hide it.)[citation needed]
Don't Tell a Soul and All Shook Down (1989–1990)
The band's next album, Don't Tell a Soul, was a quieter, less punky affair, largely considered a stab for mainstream success. While the move cost the Replacements the appreciation of some hardcore fans, the album had some notable songs, such as "Achin' to Be" and "I'll Be You", which topped the Billboard Modern Rock chart. The band then made a second appearance on network television—on ABC's short-lived International Rock Awards, where they performed a typically energetic version of "Talent Show" and caused a minor controversy when Westerberg responded to the network's censoring of the "feeling good from the pills we took" line by inserting an uncensored "It's too late to take pills, here we go" at the end of the song. The band appeared on the cover of Musician magazine in February 1989, in which it was described as "the last, best band of the 80s".[46]
But there was trouble within the band following a disastrous tour opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Westerberg recorded a new album largely with session musicians but was persuaded to release it as a Replacements album. All Shook Down won critical praise and more mainstream attention, though the many guest players and Mars's quick departure from the band following the album's release led many to wonder about the band's future.
Breakup (1991–2011)
Steve Foley was recruited as Mars's replacement in 1990, and the band embarked on a long farewell tour, which lasted into the summer of 1991.
On July 4, 1991, the band played their last show for 22 years, with the Chicago power-pop trio Material Issue, at the Taste of Chicago in Grant Park, referred to by fans as "It Ain't Over 'Til the Fat Roadie Plays", because each member disappeared during the set, their respective roadies taking their places. This show was broadcast live by the Chicago radio station WXRT. Several bootlegs are available on the Internet.
Tommy Stinson quickly followed his time in the Replacements with the short-lived but fan favorite bands Bash & Pop and Perfect. He has been the bass guitarist for Guns N' Roses since 1998, replacing Duff McKagan from the band's "classic line-up". In 2004, he released a solo CD, Village Gorilla Head, followed in 2011 by One Man Mutiny.
Bob Stinson, after leaving the Replacements in 1986, played in local Minneapolis bands such as Static Taxi and the Bleeding Hearts. After several years of drug and alcohol abuse, he died in 1995 at age 35.[47][48]
Westerberg is a successful singer-songwriter signed to Vagrant Records and, under his alias Grandpaboy, to Fat Possum Records. Folker was released in September 2004, marking a return to the melodic low-fi of the Replacements.
Dunlap keeps a low national profile but is still active in the Twin Cities music scene.
Mars primarily works as a visual artist.
In 1997, Reprise Records released the 2-CD set All for Nothing / Nothing for All. The All for Nothing disc collected cuts from Tim through All Shook Down, while the Nothing for All disc is a collection of B-sides and tracks not previously released on albums.
In 2002, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Westerberg mentioned that the Replacements had been considering a reunion. He said, "We'll get together again one day. It will take a while, or it might take a few legal swipes of the pen, but we ain't over." A partial reunion nearly occurred in March 2002, when Tommy Stinson planned to join Westerberg on a tour of the Midwest, but Stinson's prior commitments with Guns N' Roses prevented it from happening.[49]
On June 13, 2006, Rhino Records released the compilation album Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?, consisting of songs from the Twin/Tone and Sire/Reprise years and including two new songs, "Pool & Dive" and "Message to the Boys". The new songs were written by Westerberg and recorded by the band (Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and Mars) at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis. Session musician Josh Freese (the Vandals, ex-A Perfect Circle, ex-Guns N' Roses) played drums on the two tracks, while Mars contributed backing vocals. Neither Slim Dunlap nor Steve Foley participated in the sessions.
On April 22, 2008, Rhino released remastered deluxe editions of the band's four Twin/Tone albums with rare bonus tracks. On September 24, 2008, Rhino similarly released the four Sire albums in deluxe editions.
Foley died in 2008 from an accidental overdose of a prescription medication.[50]
Material recorded with Tom Waits in 1988 was released on the Westerberg solo album 3oclockreep in 2008.
Reunion (2012–2015)
On October 3, 2012, it was announced that the Replacements had re-formed and that Westerberg and Tommy Stinson were in the studio recording an EP containing song cover versions. Titled Songs for Slim, the EP was sold in a 250-copy edition of 10" vinyl and auctioned online to benefit former bandmate Dunlap, who had suffered a stroke.[1]
In November 2012, documentary filmmaker Gorman Bechard released Color Me Obsessed, a film which tells the band's story through the eyes of their most ardent fans.
The Replacements played their first shows in 22 years at Riot Fest in Toronto (August 24 and 25, 2013),[51] Chicago (September 13–15) and Denver (September 21 and 22).[52] Dave Minehan, guitarist and vocalist of the Boston-based band the Neighborhoods, and drummer Josh Freese rounded out the lineup for these shows.[53][54] Westerberg has said that the band does not rule out touring or recording a new album.[1] The band played two sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, on April 11 and 18, 2014; Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong joined the band onstage on the second date.[55] The band was also announced as one of the headliners for the September 2014 Boston Calling Music Festival, along with Lorde and the National.[56] On September 9, 2014, they appeared as the musical guest on The Tonight Show, performing "Alex Chilton". On September 19, 2014, they played at Forest Hills Stadium.[57] Monsoon rains cancelled the Summer Ends Music Festival in Tempe, Arizona, on September 27, 2014, resulting in their only indoor show of the tour when it was moved to the Marquee Theatre.
On December 17, 2014, a 24-minute jazz improvisation track entitled "Poke Me in My Cage" was uploaded to the band's SoundCloud account[58]
On February 9, 2015 the band announced a spring tour of the United States.[59] On this tour, they debuted a new song called "Whole Foods Blues", and according to their co-manager Darren Hill, the band has "laid down seven or eight" for a possible new album.[60] Towards the end of the tour, two shows in Columbus and Pittsburgh were initially postponed for medical reasons, but were subsequently cancelled outright.[61]
The Replacements performed for the first time in Spain and Portugal at the Primavera Sound festival on May 28, 2015,[62] and June 5, 2015,[63] respectively, as part of a brief European tour.
On June 5, 2015, Westerberg announced onstage at the NOS Primavera Sound festival in Porto, Portugal, that it was the band's final show. T-shirts Westerberg had worn to previous shows had hinted at this outcome: each shirt had two letters on it (one each on front and back), ultimately spelling out, "I have always loved you. Now I must whore my past."
In a September 2015 interview, Stinson discussed the band working on new studio material, stating, "it was one of those things: We dipped our toe in the water, and it didn't feel so good". Stinson stated that he had reworked songs he wrote for the Replacements as material for his solo career.[64]
Live performances
The Replacements gained local notoriety following their first live performance, because of Tommy Stinson's young age. Early shows were consistently tight and became more aggressive following the release of the Stink EP in 1982. As their stylistic repertoire began to expand with the writing and recording of Hootenanny the following year, the band's increasingly antagonistic stage show left them with a reputation for their rowdy, often drunken live shows. The band frequently went on stage too intoxicated to play. They were famously banned permanently from Saturday Night Live after performing drunk before a national television audience on January 18, 1986. As one reviewer succinctly observed, the band could quite often be "mouthing profanities into the camera, stumbling into each other, falling down, dropping their instruments, and generally behaving like the apathetic drunks they were."[65] There emerged an element of unpredictability, as the Replacements — when sober — gained critical praise for their live shows. Part of the mystique of the Replacements was the fact that the audience never knew until the start of a concert if the band would be sober enough to play. It was not uncommon for the group to play entire sets of cover versions, ranging anywhere from Bryan Adams's "Summer of '69" to Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love" to Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog."
The Goo Goo Dolls' vocalist and guitarist Johnny Rzeznik cites Paul Westerberg as an "obvious influence" on his music.[66] The Goo Goo Dolls toured in support for the band's final tour. They also co-wrote the song "We Are the Normal" with Westerberg for their 1993 album Superstar Car Wash.[citation needed] Members of the Cribs have cited the Replacements as a key influence.[citation needed] Members of the alternative country groups Uncle Tupelo and Whiskeytown have said that the Replacements were an important influence on them.[citation needed] Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem said in a 2009 interview that "without The Replacements, there would be no Gaslight Anthem" and that they were inspired by the song "Left of the Dial."[67]
1234 Go! Records released We'll Inherit the Earth: A Tribute to the Replacements on October 3, 2006. The album contains twenty-three covers of Replacements songs by various rock, punk, pop and country artists.
On October 16, 2013, the band was announced as one of the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, but they were not inducted.[68]
In popular culture
"Alex Chilton" appears as a playable song in Harmonix's music videogame Rock Band 2 for all consoles. "Kids Don't Follow" was also released for the game as downloadable content. Their song "Treatment Bound" was used in the official soundtrack of movie Jackass Number Two. Their songs have been used in other feature films. The 1998 teen comedy film Can't Hardly Wait is named after their single, and the song itself plays over the end credits. The song "I Will Dare" is sung by Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz in the car in Feeling Minnesota. The 2009 Greg Mottola film, Adventureland, opens with "Bastards of Young". The song "Unsatisfied" is also used in the film during the bus ride to New York. The song was also featured in the 1994 film "Airheads". The fictional band the Fingers, in the movie Losers Take All,[69] gets its big break by securing a gig opening for the Replacements. "Within Your Reach" was used in the 1989 film "Say Anything".

Welcome to the monthly Eden Should Carry Thread. The idea is pretty simple - you all are all over the internet looking at all kinds of things and sometimes you stumble across something really awesome that we don't carry at the moment and you think we should! Tell us about it!
How To Make Suggestions:
- All suggestions are to be made on this thread.
- Do your best to track down the manufacturer* for the product and provide a link or an image from their site.
- If you cannot find a manufacturer link, provide a link to the image from a third party site like Tumblr or Photobucket.
- Links back to competitor sites will be removed upon discovery per our competitor link clause in the terms of service.
What Happens Next:
Our team of product specialists will do their best to bring your suggestions into inventory*; the newest additions will be announced in the Weekly Buzz. It's just that simple!
*Examples of manufacturers can be found here: Eden Link
**Recommendations for heavy BDSM gear will most likely not be honored, but suggestions of quality "BDSM 101" gear are more than welcome.

My daughter is 5.5 and was diagnosed with Chiari and an spinal arachnoid cyst in April of 2011. She had the arachnoid cyst removed in April of 2011 and the decompression surgery in June of 2011. Thing were going very well and we really saw a big change in her last summer. The past 2 months though she has been complaining of neck and back pain a lot. She actually asked me if Everyones head and neck hurt all the time like hers did. The past month we have seen she is wetting the bed on average 4 times a week, where before if was maybe one random accident a month. She has been night trained for a year and a half. I am very worried and we have an MRI for the 16th. That was the earliest they oculd get us into due to her other medical issues. The NS said that if we have any other issues to take her to the ER. I also have been doing lots of reading and seeing that sleep apnea is very big with Chiari paitents and am worried that could be going on and causing the bed wetting out of the blue. She also has seizures with most of them going on at night. Was wondering if this sounds like her bone is growing back. How common is it for kids to have/need multiple decompressions?
Thanks so much,
mom to Em....
