UCLA's alltimePauley Pavilion record is 523-66 (589games, 88.9).

The Bruins finished 1998-99 at Pauley15-1 (losing only to Stanford).Pauley Pavilion got a new roof during thesummer of 2000 and while working on it, theroofing company offered (and UCLA accepted) toput the UCLA script logo on the Pauley roof(for free). It (the letters are blue with a gold outline ontop of a tan color roof) is located on the south side of thePauley roof in letters large enough to identify UCLA fromLAX.The scoreboard in Pauley Pavilion is in itsfourth season (the previous one was 14 yearsold). The scoreboard had been in the planning for threeyears. UCLA Athletics teamed with a marketing firm topackage eight corporate sponsorship opportunities on acenter-hung scoreboard and two statistical boards in PauleyPavilion. The design of the eight-sided board includes foursides that house the speaker clusters and four sides that haveteam scoring, game time and period, possession indicator(all in LED digits) and video screen incorporated into each.Each video screen is 7' x 9' and is the best LED technologythe market offers today. The board was sized to 'fit thehouse' and gives excellent visibility to patrons in allseating locations. The board is 27' wide, 17' tall(manufactured by Daktronics Corp.). The total weight is14,000 lbs. and it's attached to a 20,000-lb. hoist that canlower and/or raise the board for maintenance. Thecenterboard, statistic board and production room cost isabout $1.4 million. The board is being paid for entirely bythe corporate sponsorship that is displayed on theadvertising panels over a 10-year financing plan.

The Rise of the Market
Critical Essays on the Political Economy of Neo-Liberalism
Edited by Philip Arestis and Malcolm Sawyer
Chapter 5: Economics imperialism as Kuhnian revolution?
Ben Fine
* Ben Fine 1. INTRODUCTION It is now 40 years since Thomas Kuhn laid out his theory of scientific revolution. Kuhn was initially concerned with explaining how science changed, drawing a distinction between normal, smoothly evolving science within a given paradigm and revolutionary science that blazes a shorter, if not short, sharp shift between paradigms. As a result, Kuhn's language, especially the notion of a paradigm for example, has become commonplace even as substantive understanding of his contribution, and criticism of it, have declined. Further, in the scholarly literature, more than enough time has passed for his approach to have been fully traversed, if not forgotten, territory in understanding the sources and nature of intellectual change. For those economists who participated, even if merely as an audience, in the Kuhnian revolution, it ought in retrospect to stand out as a remarkably rare period of self-examination of a discipline that is notoriously unaware of, and uninterested in, its own history and methodological underpinnings.1 Whilst primarily concerned with the history of science, Kuhnian notions were readily transposed to the social sciences without economics standing on the sidelines as an exception, as has been so for other intellectual fashions such as postmodernism in the more recent period.2 This is not to suggest that the Kuhnian project was readily assimilated without modification within the dismal science. But it did receive a surprisingly broad welcome across the discipline, from both orthodoxy and heterodoxy. The mainstream, for example, could claim that it practised such a...

descriptionHeavily armed terrorists have taken over Chernobyl and the Prypriatarea and are holding the European governments to ransom. Ten billion Euros must be paid in 24 hours or they will blow up the entire Chernobyl nuclear power plant, releasing clouds of deadly, radioactive materials high into the atmosphere and rendering vast swathes of the northern hemisphere uninhabitable. Paying the ransom or a frontal attack is unthinkable, only one solution remains: to select the best Special Ops Single unit to sneak in and destroy the enemy's installations, averting a major catastrophe.

TULSA, Okla. – The Osage Nation's Gaming Enterprise Board is working on a plan to share more information with Osage constituents from the board regarding gaming.
The five-member board voted unanimously to work on a plan to provide a monthly narrative to the Osage public. Board member Mark Revard made the motion during a Jan. 18 meeting after hearing discussion from Osage Congress members in attendance regarding questions they receive about the casino expansion progress and costs.
Congresswoman Alice Buffalohead told the board she received several inquiries regarding the multi-phase project to expand the Tulsa Osage Casino. The casino and Nation officials broke ground on a phase one casino and hotel project in November 2016 and Buffalohead said she received questions on whether the Congress approved the other three phases as well.
Gaming board Chairman Mark Simms, a former ON Congressman, said discussions on the casino project date back to 2010 with various designs considered and said he understood a lot of people are paying attention and added he believes the board needs to put out a statement.
Osage Casinos CEO Byron Bighorse said he told area news outlets who covered the Tulsa expansion groundbreaking the $150 million casino/ hotel project is in phase one and that's all that's been approved at this time. That portion received approval from the ON Congress, which approves the annual plan for casino operations including construction plans.
Congresswoman Maria Whitehorn also agreed with the statement idea and said she also gets inquiries from constituents and some of those questions are regarding the discussions on expanding Osage gaming operations into Missouri.
Simms, who sits on a committee to explore economic and tourism opportunities, said he would share more information in the meeting's executive session. Per the Osage open meetings law, executive sessions may be held to discuss confidential and proprietary business matters.
A timeline on the first statement from the gaming board is unknown. The Gaming Enterprise Board website shares basic information, as well as the most recent annual report on the Osage Casino operations. The website is located at: www.osagenation-nsn.gov/who-we-are/gaming-enterprise-board


text: "Sex Love and Pain, I be on that Tank Sh*t." Drake spit that line on one of his singles, and since then, I suspected he was a fan and this type of collaboration might come about. I have to say I think it's decent. Drake doesn't try to do too much (he doesn't sing lol) and Tank doesn't make it too commercial. This is the 2nd single from Tank's upcoming album "Now or Never."

Ever wondered why some men are always booking Greek escorts? Well, most men go for these companions due to their prowess in bed. They know what to do and how best to do it to ensure that they and their partners achieve orgasm. People always talk about having great sex, better orgasm, and even better relationships. But, what sex positions are great for female orgasm?
Generally, every woman is unique. Therefore, there are different sex positions that make each woman achieve orgasm better and faster. Here are the 5 sex positions that tend to make all women achieve orgasm more frequently.
- Girl on Top
This sex position entails having a man lie down on his back while the girl goes on top. The experience is better when the woman focuses on rocking her body back and forth instead of bobbing up and down. To achieve orgasm faster, try to grind the pelvis in a slow circular motion or making a figure-eight motion. This is a great sex position for women that achieve orgasm faster when in complete control over angle, pace, depth and level of penetration and stimulation.
- Coital Alignment
This sex position starts off in a missionary position. The woman lies on her back with the man on top between her legs. The male pulls his body up and towards her head. The pelvis is usually slightly higher up the body of the female than it is with traditional missionary. Rather than thrust in and out, the male focuses on grinding against the female's pelvis.

Swimming Pool at Roc Santa Lucia Hotel
Water Sport Facilities
This vast complex is set on the white sands of Santa Lucia beach. Completely rebuilt in 2000 with all-new facilities, the Roc Santa Lucia is the perfect choice for travelers who prefer a more expansive setting.
Relax with a soothing cup of orange pekoe at the early evening tea service, or browse through the small shopping centre, a five-minute stroll away. Other unique features include the à la carte seafood restaurant (available at extra charge) perched on a pier and a 24-hour beach bar.
Vacationers find the huge swimming pool with its thatched bar a great venue for sunning and socializing. And the entertainment (daytime animaciones – "activities" – and evening cabarets) is a cut above the other hotels nearby, thanks to enthusiastic staff.
A slightly rickety wooden boardwalk leads to a rustic seafood restaurant hovering atop the gin-clear waters. But the buffet and Italian restaurants don't rise up to international par with their rather bland foods. Unless you're questing to explore the real Cuba beyond the hotel walls, you won't be bored here. There are plenty of watersports, plus activities from archery to tennis (bring your own racket and balls).
Until January 2017, this all-inclusive resort was known as Hotel Gran Club Santa Lucia.

At Saint Nicolas de Bourgeuil, the Château Moulin Neuf extends over 21 hectares, demanding high quality, both modern yet traditional, the red wine production is performed with a slow and gentle extraction in order to preserve the roundness and character of the gravel 'terroir'. The ageing is done in old barrels in order to bring out the natural charm of the Cabernet Franc grape.
The techniques put into practice for several years respect the practice of sustainable agriculture : work on the vines, natural controlled grass planting, absence of insecticides rather relying on the use of insect pheromones, leaf thinning, selective grape sorting at the vines and winery,...
Château Moulin Neuf distinguishes itself by its richness and elegance, like all the great wines of the Loire. In the glass it appears dense and rich, beautifully intense and garnet coloured, this wine offers an abundant flavour, red fruits perfectly pairing with spice and wood notes. Delightful and balanced, a final demonstrating long lasting aromas with all the delicacy and charm of this exceptional region.
An ageing period of 3 to 7 years laid flat in darkened cellar. A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer's palate
Serve at 12 à 13°C it will accompany perfectly fish sauce recipes, but also all types of grilled meats, roasts stewed or in sauce, cheese, chocolate desserts...Imprimer le PDF
The Bourgueil wine of Domaine Laurent MABILEAU is made from vines growing on two distinct types of 'terroirs' covering an area of 8 hectares. The vines exposed on the plateau are planted on a sandy soil base which lends itself to a wine both refined and aromatic. Higher on the hill side, the land is limestone clay based, producing more powerful wines with great delicacy.
The harmony of characteristics from these 'terroirs' allows us to offer a wine noted not only for its fullness but also its subtlety and finesse to refresh the taste buds.
The techniques used already for several years respect the practice of sustainable agriculture: work on the vines, natural controlled grass planting, leaf thinning, selective grape sorting both at the vines and winery,...
Vivid and bright colour, fine taste of subtle red fruits, a sharp attack, round and bodied on the palate, velvety tannins, long and fruity.
An ageing period of 3 to 5 years laid flat in darkened cellar. A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer's palate.
Serve at 12 à 13°C. It accompanies wonderfully meats (cured meats, grilled, poultry, pork, veal, rabbit, beef…), fish, cheeses, red fruit desserts.Imprimer le PDF
The Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil of Domaine Laurent MABILEAU is developed in close partnership with a neighbouring winery, exploiting the know-how and passion shared together for many years already. The 'terroir', covering an area of 15 hectares is made up mainly from a gravelly soil.
As practiced at all of the MABILEAU estates, the vines are grown based on the principle of sustainable agriculture. The rigorous selection of the grapes and the wine making according to 'terroir', allows the wine to display simultaneously both its fruity characteristics and a full-rounded yet delicate flavour. True to their commitment, Laurent and Antoine Mabileau produce a wine with authenticity and precision.
Beautiful intense colour with garnet tones. An expressive nose, distinguished by red fruits « raspberry, wild strawberry... ». In the mouth, the wine is complete, the enduring aromas and flavour in its structure demonstrating a remarkable balance. The richness and roundness of the wine dominates, with a long and intense aromatic finish. A very prestigious wine, offering an intensely fruity, crisp and juicy flavour that is a reflection of the Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil appellation.
An ageing period of 3 to 5 years laid flat in darkened cellar. A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer's palate.
Serve at 12 to 13°C, it will accompany perfectly meats and fish (Poultry terrines, grilled poultry, cured meats, grilled meats, veal, rabbit, beef, fish in sauce …) cheese, red fruit desserts.Imprimer le PDF
Confidence, honourable to the Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil range, is produced from a selected parcel of old vines aged more than 60 years old. The most remarkable vintages allowing a production which represents the quintessence of our winemaking know how. This most authentic wine reflects the typicity of Loire wines and breaths its gritty 'terroir'. A complex wine for the savvy consumer.
Confidence presents a beautiful red colour with purple highlights. The wine develops a powerful and rich nose, with a broad aromatic palette of red fruits. Toasty notes, slightly woody lend this wine its lovely complexity. On the palate a beautiful richness and harmonious structure accompanies a persistent finish. Very ripe tannins integrate perfectly together. A subtle and delicate wine.
An ageing period of 5 to 7 years laid flat in darkened cellar. A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer's palate.
Serve at 12 à 13°C. Confidence is ideal accompanied with beef, grilled or in sauce, duck, game, cheeses, chocolate desserts...Imprimer le PDF
Antoine Mabileau manages the 16 hectares of Château Moulin Bellegrave in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation area. His young and dynamic approach, associated with his perfect technical mastery has contributed to the renaissance of the property with the strictest respect for its reclaimed gritty 'terroir'. The quality of this wine is on a par with the most prestigious wines of Bordeaux.
The winegrowing techniques used for several years are maintained and refined: natural controlled grass growing between every second row of vines, vine selection, manual leaf thinning, green harvesting, selection of grape harvest both at the vines and the winery. The winegrower respects the practice of sustainable agriculture.
Sublime red colour with purple hues, nose of intense black fruits mixed with notes of truffle. On the palate the wine shows off its structure with beautifully elegant tannins. The wine is particularly dense, its tastes lingering on the tongue, its finish expressed by a beautiful retronasal aroma of ripe fruits.
An ageing period of 7 to 10 years laid flat in darkened cellar. A period in which the flavours will further develop to charm the consumer's palate.
Serve at 14 à 16°C decanting 2 hours beforehand. It accompanies wonderfully meats (beef, duck, pigeon, lamb, game…) blue cheeses, dark chocolate desserts.Imprimer le PDF

Willie's Off-Brand Web Journal: August 7-August 28, 2004
Sunday, August 22, 2004:
Jen's going to Korea for a year to teach, so while she's gone, I will be birdsitting Noví the Cockatiel, who is pictured here:
That picture is actually rather creepy if you cover Noví's eyes and pretend that her nostrils are eyes instead. It makes her look like a Jim Henson version of Tweeter from Super Mario Bros. 2. And also, Noví's name is pronounced "no-vee": she's named after the character Oldrich Novy from Dancer in the Dark, and I can't remember why Jen decided to spell it that way.
Here's the entry from my private journal about when Jen and I drove to Dearborn Heights in September of 2001 to buy the then-newborn Noví:
The breeder was an older woman named Gwen, who was probably in her late '50s. She had stringy, messy hair and told Jen that she had references "up the butt" when Jen asked if she'd been breeding birds long. I got to talk to Gwen's 3-year-old, ADHD granddaughter while Jen and Gwen talked about Noví. I'm not saying "ADHD" to make fun; she actually was.
The granddaughter's name was Lyndsey, and she greeted me by saying, "My face is a mess! I stink like poop! My feet are all sticky, too! Smell my feet!"
Lyndsey asked me if we were buying the baby bird, and I told her we were. "Oh, you're going to take the baby bird home to your little girl?" she asked.
"We don't have a little girl," I said.
"Oh, did she die?" Lyndsey asked, which I found unsettling. She then reassured me by telling me that she would buy us a new one.
Lyndsey heard me refer to Jen by name, so she pointed and asked, "Is that Jenny?"
"Yup, that's Jenny," I replied.
"Oh. I'm Lyndsey."
"I know," I said.
"Say my name!"
"You're Lyndsey."
"Know what? My hair is blond!"
"Yes it is."
"Do you have hair?"
"Yes, see?" I pointed to my hair.
"What kind of hair is it?"
"My hair is brown," she said.
"No, your hair is blond, remember?"
"Is that Jenny?" She pointed to Jen again.
"Yup, that's Jenny."
"I'm Lyndsey."
"I know. You told me already."
"What did you call me?"
"Mommy says that Daddy called me a bad name. Do you have a tattoo?"
"No, I don't have any tattoos."
"I got a mosquito bite. Is that Jenny?"
"Yup, that's Jenny."
"I'm Lyndsey. Does Jenny have hair?"
I pointed to Jen's head. "Yup. See? There's her hair."
"I'll wrap you a present. Close your eyes."
I closed my eyes. When I opened them, she had draped a scrap piece of wrapping paper over a green colored pencil, but was told that I couldn't touch it. This went on for awhile. At one point, she told me that her dad was going to beat me up.
Gwen seemed perfectly nice, but her house made me nervous anyway. Luckily, Noví is a very sweet birdie.
Gwen also had an African gray parrot whose name was Goose. "My name is Goose," he said in a despondent voice that sounded like Eeyore's. Then he emitted a loud belch. I like birds.

If anyone ever tells you that funnel cakes are easy to make, you are justified in calling shenanigans on them. I attempted to do so last night, and not only did I get batter all over the counter and floor because that stupid dough piping device really did behave like an actual funnel (as opposed to holding the batter in until I squeezed it like a tube of toothpaste, as I was expecting), but I burned myself with the hot oil and had to leave work early today because my stomach is still so pissed off at me for cramming it full of improperly made funnel cake.
It's just fried butter, eggs, salt, and sugar: I have no clue how it could've made me so sick, but it did. And continues to. I drank some ginger ale and ate an apple in the hopes of achieving some sort of digestive homeostasis, but nope.
Last time I try anything new.

Saturday, August 14, 2004:
It's another post about music, but unless you want to hear about me wrecking my blender or napping way too much, music will have to do.
Today, I received two copies of the Future Soundtrack for America compilation that's being officially released by Barsuk Records, McSweeney's, MoveOn.org, and Music for America on Tuesday. (I received two advance copies because I donated $50 to MoveOn. I'm sending the extra one to Bev.) The mission statement on the back cover reads, "100% of our profits from this CD will go to non-profit progressive organizations working to involve more Americans in our political process, to advocate for ordinary people and traditional American values, and to help keep the United States a country all of us can be proud of. Thanks for your support." (And the front cover features a Chris Ware cartoon!)
Don't be frightened by the "traditional American values" bit, though. They're talking about the good, actual values like freedom of speech, freedom from oppression, etc. All the things the Bush administration has been doing its best to wipe out. Though only a plug for The Sierra Club in the liner notes specifically mentions Dubya in any way, the clear subtext of the compilation is that we need to oust Bush and now. (Think of it as a companion CD to the much-hyped and incredibly ballsy Vote for Change Tour, on which Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Dixie Chicks, and others are performing for the same goal.)
I'm not going to give the album a proper review in the Music Review Archive because I think this is an instance where the cause is much more important than the music. Yeah, I support the ideas behind, say, No Alternative or the Tibetan Freedom Concert compilations, but not to a point where I felt compelled to really get involved with either organization (or buy the CDs at retail price). This is different. Personally, I encourage everyone to just donate their money directly to the MoveOn site and think of the CD as a delightful bonus, like the tote bag you get for donating to PBS, only you'll actually use this. There are a lot of people who are much more extroverted and gregarious than I am- people like Jim, for instance- who are actually getting out there and actively helping in the campaign to get Bush out of the White House. God bless those people, but if you're not up to doing that, you can at least help fund the effort this way, and if you have any money to spare, I hope you'll consider it.
However, I assume, as my friends, you'll want to know a little about the CD anyway. I loathe track-by-track reviews, but since I'm not going to be writing a real review at a later date, I thought I'd just give you my initial impressions of all the songs after spinning the album once.
1. OK Go: "This Will be Our Year" Listenable, and therefore a good four steps ahead of anything on OK Go's debut album. Rather than their usual sort of generic pop-punk crap, this is a laid-back, Elvis Costello-influenced boogie. Not particularly good, but not bad either.
2. David Byrne: "Ain't Got So Far to Go" A clear-eyed gospel-pop tune that's so charming in its sincerity that I can almost overlook the fact that it sounds like an outtake from True Stories. (Or, perhaps more specifically, like the opening to "Road to Nowhere" stretched out to full song length.) But then, I'm still struggling with his most recent solo album, Grown Backwards, so maybe this will grow on me too. Seems underwritten, though.
3. Jimmy Eat World: "Game of Pricks" (Live on the BBC) Surprisingly nice! It's a straightforward cover of a Guided by Voices song, and not only are we therefore spared JEW's (ooh- shouldn't abbreviate that, should I?) usual sort of generic pop-punk crap, but it does sound impressively like late-period GBV. I would, of course, be committing heresy to say that this version is better than the version on GBV's Alien Lanes, but it's definitely tighter and more energetic. So I'll say it's worthwhile.
4. Death Cab for Cutie: "This Temporary Life" The first essential song on this compilation. It's another slow-building epic like the title track from last year's Transatlanticism, but more melodic, with a better sense of dynamics as well. A wimp-pop gem.
5. Blink-182: "I Miss You" (James Guthrie mix) Making this collection three for three in its ability to force generic pop-punk bands to forgo their usual sort of generic pop-punk crap, this is a semi-gloomy, semi-new wavey thing that steals the bassline from Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" but is nevertheless tolerable. Or at least it's tolerable until halfway through, when their singer falls into his usual sarcastic whine that makes you want to slap those tattoos the hell off his body.
6. Mike Doughty: "Move On" I love Mike Doughty. Nearly every song he writes is a masterpiece, and this is no exception. I assume he was intentionally trying to write an anthem for the MoveOn organization, and anthemic it is, in his usual funk-small-rock way. (It's like a more spacious take on the Rockity Roll formula.) Lots of great, specific agit-pop lyrics, too. I burst into a huge, goofy grin at the point where he compares his love for America to his love for "an exasperating friend."
7. Ben Kweller: "Jerry Falwell Destroyed Earth" Shut up, Ben. No, I agree with you, Falwell's a douche, but shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up. You annoy me in your pretty-boy straddling of the line between punk-pop and emo. At least this one is short.
8. Sleater-Kinney: "Off With Your Head" Typically great Sleater-Kinney song. It sounds like everyone in the group is battling for attention in the arrangement, but in a good way; lots of taut yet show-offy playing, which boosts this song from simply catchy to cracklingly addictive. (Addictive as crackle!) Even the drumming is creative! It's a good, pissed-off addition to this collection, which I think could've used more of this sort of disciplined roiling.
9. R.E.M.: "Final Straw" (MoveOn mix) As I recall, R.E.M. initially released this song through their website around the time Bush kicked off The Cakewalk of a War That Made Everything Better. I think it's going to be on their upcoming album too, and I don't know exactly how this version differs from the others, but it's a superb call to action at any rate. I mean, it's no "Ignoreland," but Michael Stipe still has the ability to bring tears to my eyes with his words and his singing. It's going to take a couple listens for me to get my head around the odd rhythm, I think, but I can already tell that I dig it.
10. Bright Eyes: "Going for the Gold" (live) This one may has well have been entitled "Final Straw" as well, because it snapped the last thread of my interest in Bright Eyes, I'm afraid. This is a useless, meandering live performance of what is actually one of the best songs Conor Oberst has written (the studio version is on Oh Holy Fools, a split EP with Son, Ambulance), and it was enough to finally push me out of the Bright Eyes camp. Why? Because the guy has written and recorded dozens of songs that haven't seen a proper release- some of which are quite good- but for all the sophomoric Bush-bashing that he's done for the past couple of years, he can't give this compilation something better? Is he really so arrogant that he thinks that a lugubrious, poorly recorded live track deserves any sort of release, let alone is a sufficient contribution to an album whose proceeds are going to a cause that he claims to champion? You know, I still think Fevers and Mirrors is an excellent album, and he's a very talented lyricist, but the sheer gall of releasing something like this is, to me, an indication that he either doesn't care enough about his fans who might buy this album because of his inclusion to toss them a decent cut, or he has such a ridiculously inflated image of his own talent that he thinks that every off-key gurgle that warbles from his throat is Pure Poetic Genius (PPG), and can stand next to fully realized studio recordings by artists like R.E.M. and Tom Waits (whom I'll get to in a bit). Unless someone is able to demonstrate to me, at some point in the future, that Conor has climbed back down out of his own ass, I'm done with Bright Eyes.
Yes, too bad for him, I know.
11. The Long Winters: "The Commander Thinks Aloud" (future mix) I like this one a lot! It's a messy, serpentine dirge of an indie-rock song- kind of like the itchy brother of the Death Cab song above- but it's got a great, weird melody. Are the Long Winters' albums any good? I saw them opening for the Pernice Brothers a few months back and didn't think much of them except that they seemed like cool guys, but if their studio stuff is this interesting, I may have to check it out.
12. will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas: "Money" Yes, that's how he's credited. "of The Black Eyed Peas." I dunno. It's an anti-greed hip-hop song that just strikes me as the tiniest bit ironic, in a sideways way, considering that the Black Eyed Peas just accidentally destroyed $500,000 worth of their own gear. It's not actually ironic by a dictionary definition of "irony," I know, but you have to admit that it's a little like rain on your wedding day. Anyhow. To me, it sounds pretty much like any overproduced hip-hop song you'd hear in a club or on MTV, and it seems kind of out-of-place on this collection of indie-rockers and eccentrics, but it's well done for what it is.
13. They Might Be Giants: "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" A natural follow-up to the thing from the Black Eyed Peas guy, this is an awesome rendition of one of William Henry Harrison's campaign songs from the 1840 presidential race. I have no idea whether they've retained the original tune (or how they would've heard it in the first place), but this is a wonderfully creepy performance. John Flansburgh sings to an ominous, marching beat with tasteful horn and autoharp samples popping up like spookhouse ghouls. Catchy, fun, and a billion times better than anything on their new album, The Spine, this is the TMBG we love.
14. Clem Snide: "The Ballad of David Icke" Eef Barzelay lets his twangy voice fly unaccompanied here, as he presents a disturbing narrative based on the writings of paranoid conspiracy lunatic David Icke. I can see what he was going for, and the brief tune is haunting in its way, but it still doesn't really work. The solo singing is a tough thing to pull off, and even though this is less annoying than, say, Tori Amos's "Me and a Gun," it really needs something else. Not a full, sunny Clem Snide country-fried pop arrangement, of course, but something subtle to dull the edges of Eef's voice. Even just a minimal, atmospheric backing like on "Victim" by the Golden Palominos. Maybe I should illegally remix this and add some sounds to it. Great lyrics, though.
15. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: "Date with the Night" (live) Another badly recorded live rendition of a song that is available in an excellent studio version. This one doesn't anger me like the Bright Eyes track does, because Karen O doesn't take herself nearly as seriously as Conor, but it's still a bit of a letdown. If it were recorded decently, this would've been something, because Karen is a great stage personality, and the band is electric live, but that's all muffled in the mix here. Shame.
16. Fountains of Wayne: "Everything's Ruined" (acoustic) I didn't even initially realize that this is a reworking of a ballad from their self-titled album. Even though the "acoustic" disclaimer implies a certain toned-down quality, this is actually a bit peppier than the tremolo-heavy wisp of a song that they'd previously released. I like it a bit better this way, but I'm not a huge fan of FoW's ballads to begin with (except "A Fine Day for a Parade," if that qualifies), so this still doesn't make much of an impression on me. Why won't they just do what I want them to do, and release supernaturally infectious power-pop songs all the time? If they can come up with a great throwaway like the Crank Yankers theme, why can't they put out more full-on brilliant rockers? Who do they think they are? Some sort of band who can just ignore what people tell them to do and sign to a small label and go on to greater success than they ever had when they were on a major? I'd like to see that!
17. Nada Surf: "Your Legs Grow" Meh. I've really had enough of the white-boy guitar-pop by this point in the album, and Nada Surf really doesn't do anything with this song to work against my ennui. It's pleasant enough. I'm sure it's ethically wrong of me to say that I liked their novelty hit "Popular" a lot better, but you know what? At least it was memorable. This is like eating a bowl of plain noodles. It's sustenance, but wouldn't be my first choice.
18. The Flaming Lips: "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots [Part I]" (Live at the BBC) There's nothing really wrong with this creaky, slow, piano-based reworking of "Yoshimi"- and it sounds as though Wayne Coyne starts to cry at one point toward the end, which is a bit of a revelation- but it doesn't blow me away or nothin'. It's interesting to hear what was once a bouncy, friendly celebration recast in a way that sounds rather mournful, but moreso from an academic perspective than a music fan perspective. I'm neutral on this one.
19. Old 97's: "Northern Line" Cripe, this is even duller than these guys' alt-country filler normally is.
20. Laura Cantrell: "Sam Stone" I like Laura's cover of John Prine's cynical country tune a lot better than the original. Nice bluegrass arrangement, more emotional singing, though still a great song about junkies. Laura's gentler touch brings out a bit of pathos in the song that really isn't there in Prine's version. I imagine TMBG's "The Guitar" will remain my favorite Laura Cantrell vocal performance until I'm deep in the cold, cold ground, because I am a slavish fanboy, but this is enough to convince me to think about picking up one of her albums. (Plus, Adrian Denning has mentioned her to me a few times, in glowing terms.)
21. Tom Waits: "Day After Tomorrow" I'm admittedly still in the early stages of my appreciation of Tom Waits, so I still like his weird-ass stuff like "Cemetary Polka" and "Goin' Out West" better than his ballads ("Grapefruit Moon" aside, which Ben accurately described to me as "a perfect lullaby"), but I can't imagine this endless, slurred piano tune gaining much luster no matter how much I grow to love his oeuvre. It's unquestionably heartfelt, but it goes on and on and on for... some indefinite amount of time, because I skipped to the next song once I realized that nothing new was going to happen, about four minutes in.
22. Elliott Smith: "A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to be Free" Probably the best song on this album, and definitely one of the best of Smith's career, this posthumously released song of disillusionment with the government contains all the elements of his songwriting when he was at the top of his game, both musically and lyrically. (Though I do wish someone would institute some sort of moratorium on rhyming luck with fuck, because it's way too easy.) I'm sure there will be those who pick this album up just to hear Elliott's first official release from beyond the grave, and those people won't be disappointed. When he starts harmonizing with himself, it's as heartbreaking as ever.
Well, that took me about ten times as long as writing a real review. Hope you monkeys found it useful. And like I said, even though it's not as sublime a listening experience as the roster suggests, if you think of it as your free reward for helping out an organization who's doing a lot of good in this country, it's worth every penny.
Also, Splendid did review my album this morning. They are not fans.

Friday, August 13, 2004:
I've been thinking a lot lately about something I mentioned in my previous post: how cool it would be to someday release a compilation album of some of my favorite songs that I think need more exposure. That notion is very attractive to me, because even though I know a mass-produced compilation isn't nearly as personal as a mix you make for a friend or loved one, there's very little that's more satisfying to me than buying a compilation because I know a few artists and then discovering a bunch of new favorites as a result. For instance, when I was in middle school, I got those 120 Minutes companion CDs that MTV released, solely because I was a fan of They Might Be Giants, and I wound up discovering XTC, Robyn Hitchcock, Camper Van Beethoven, etc. But even beyond that, I just love listening to lovingly assembled collections of disparate bands; albums like the Snatch soundtrack, Ladytron's Softcore Jukebox, or The Orb's entry in the Back to Mine series are great musical connect-the-dots puzzles, drawing from any number of sources to make a cohesive and interesting whole.
So my project for this evening was to assemble the tracklist for my pipe-dream mix, assuming that I had the funds and could get the legal clearances to release any songs I chose. It was much harder than I thought, for a few reasons:
I'm sure that I would want to fit as many songs as possible on the CD, because that's my general habit when I make mixes. Unless they're for Jess or Bev or Adrienne, for whom I make so many mixes that there'll assuredly be a new one on the way as soon as I give them whichever one I'm working on (so I'm not as concerned about disc space), I tend to steer clear even of lengthy masterpieces like "Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean" by Explosions in the Sky, "Piso Mojado" by The Other Leading Brand, or "Willie the Pimp" by Frank Zappa. (Though I do intend to request that Paul Shaffer play the latter as I walk out for my first appearance on The Late Show.) Even though song length has no bearing on song quality, I generally wind up cutting the longest songs first when it comes down to making the tough choices. Tonight, for instance, as much as it hurt to get rid of Victor Krummenacher's brooding "Let's Think of Nothing Now," keeping it would have meant cutting at least two equally wonderful songs to make up for that five minutes and twenty seconds, and simple pragmatism says Victor's gotta go. Same goes for Sparklehorse's seven-minute cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
Also, the final tracklist wound up being almost frustratingly un-eclectic. When I'm trying to cram all my favorites together in one 80-minute burst, it makes it harder to justify the inclusion of cool oddities like Shooby Taylor or songs from the Lagaan soundtrack. And since, generally, the only albums I own from a lot of genres are the iconic ones or at least fairly popular ones- as far as hip-hop goes, for example, I've got only Public Enemy, Ol' Dirty Bastard, The Northern State, the Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, and Deltron 3030- those genres were given a miss. Frankly, a lot of my favorite bands just didn't make the cut because I reasoned that they're already too well-known. It's one thing to drop an underappreciated R.E.M. tune (say, "Disturbance At the Heron House") onto a mix for a friend, but if I'm going to be pushing this album out into stores, there are too many treasures by somewhat less popular bands to include a song that's readily available on an album that millions already own.
Ultimately, I would be happiest if I could release a series of these mixes, because then I could relax a bit and not feel such pressure to fit everything I want to share with the world onto one CD, and I could have more fun with it. It was teeth-gnashingly difficult to even pare the list down to the length of two discs, let alone one. So maybe that'll be my new goal: a mix series. But for now, as this project goes, here's the tracklist for the "definitive" Disclaimer mix album. Let's call it Affirmative Action for the Dromedary.
1. Of Montreal: "Jennifer Louise" (2:00)
2. Mike Doughty: "Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well" (3:33)
3. Andrea Maxand: "When God Shuts the Door" (Angel Hat version) (2:52)
4. Ms. John Soda: "Go Check" (4:15)
5. Jim White: "The Wound That Never Heals" (4:23)
6. The Buggles: "I Love You (Miss Robot)" (4:59)
7. Fay Lovsky: "Alle Leidjes op de Radio" (3:38)
8. John Southworth: "It's Not the End of the World" (4:57)
9. Plaid: "Dang Spot" (3:57)
10. Mason Jennings: "Adrian" (2:59)
11. Spinvis: "Astronout" (4:15)
12. David Byrne: "The Red House" (3:17)
13. Rasputina: "Sign of the Zodiac" (3:49)
14. Joe Pernice: "Bum Leg" (4:26)
15. Trans Am: "I Want It All" (3:56)
16. Hem: "The Cuckoo" (2:59)
17. Split Enz: "Bold as Brass" (3:31)
18. Half-Handed Cloud: "The Body Binds Us" (0:41)
19. The Jazz Butcher: "Sixteen Years" (2:04)
20. Bad Religion: "Atomic Garden" (3:10)
21. To Rococo Rot: "Telema" (3:40)
22. Barbara Manning: "Here Comes Love" (2:50)
23. Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: "Noble Experiment" (3:31)
So that's my mix. Everyone else, tell me yours! If you were coming up with a disc full of songs that you think everyone needs to hear but may not have, what would you include?
I think I need to start the "Song of the Day" feature up again. I've accumulated enough songs that I want to tell everyone about, I think...
CURRENT MOOD: Sad.

Saturday, August 7, 2004:
I need some advice.
I spent $430 on a quarter-page advertisement for my album in MAGNET. I did not sell one album as a result.
I then spent $500 for the placement of my song "Hell" on the CD sampler for the most recent issue of MAGNET. (The one with the guy from Queens of the Stone Age on the cover for some reason.) I did not sell one album as a result.
So what am I doing wrong? What else can I do? Would paying for more advertisements just be throwing good money after bad? Should I just eat the losses, lower the price of my album to five bucks each in an attempt to make back the cost of manufacture, and give up on the whole record label idea? Because I don't play live, it's impossible to get airplay unless you fellate Clear Channel executives (and George W. Bush, I might add), and no publication seems to be willing to even so much as review my album... not AMG, not CMJ, not even Splendid, apparently. So what the hell? Where do I go from here? I was counting on word-of-mouth sales, because all modesty aside, I know I've recorded a damn good album. I mean, it's no OK Computer or anything, but I think it's at least a B+ record. (Better than anything Wilco has ever done, definitely.) But apart from my friends telling some of their friends to buy copies- for which I am grateful to you all, by the way- I ain't sold crap. So what's the next step? Ideas?
It's not even that I want to make a ton of money off this venture. My hope was that I could earn just enough to be able to sign other artists who just record stuff in their homes but who will probably otherwise never be heard, like Joe Hinchcliffe. Or to be able to maybe make enough money to set up a rerelease campaign for a lot of semi-obscure masterpieces that I think need to come back into print, like Touch Me Zoo's catalogue or some of those great albums by The Jazz Butcher, or even Robyn Hitchcock (assuming they'd want to do business with me- that's just a bit of a pipe dream). Maybe release some fun compilation discs like Ladytron did with their Softcore Jukebox album... I theoretically wanted to strike a blow for good music in the marketplace. But The Airbag's Lipstick Kiss is a complete failure any way you look at it- even from an indie point of view. I think I've sold about 60 copies, mostly to friends and family. Which means I've still got 2,440 copies mouldering in my parents' basement.
I've made a huge mistake.
CURRENT MUSIC: The Airbag's Lipstick Kiss, trying to figure
out what went wrong.

How To Get A £20,000 Loan
People take loans for different reasons that may range from buying a car to going for vacation, from buying a house to financing a wedding. As a result, people take a variety of loans to satisfy a particular financial need. Some loans run into hundreds of thousands while some are some tens of thousands. In the latter class are the £20,000 loan and some other loans. How can you get a £20,000 loan?
If you need a £20,000 loan, you can get it by taking some personal loan. This unsecured loan is the best for people who want to take a loan that is below £30,000 loan which is covered by secured loans.
Why should you consider a personal loan
Taking a personal loan is a good way to get a £20,000 loan because the loan plan offers the following benefits:
- Fast to get: This is a big distinction between secured loans and personal loans. While secured loans may take up to 8 weeks before the application can be approved for payment, secured loans can take as low as less than 24 hours. This makes personal loans to be ideal for financial emergencies.
- No collateral: Before you can get a secured loan, you must present your home as collateral. This is a risky venture if there is a default in payment due to some exigencies. This risk of becoming homeless does not exist in personal loans because your home will not be taken as collateral for the loan.
- No credit check: While some loans require a credit check and a borrower may be turned down because of a poor credit score, that restriction is nonexistent in personal loans. Regardless of your credit score, you can get a loan to manage your finances at any time.
How to apply for the loan
After a thorough research of the different personal loan lenders, visit the website of the lender that appeals to you and select the type of personal loan you want from the variety of personal loan options available. Fill the loan application form and submit same via the Internet. Wait for the lenders to contact you for verification of your identity and confirmation of your eligibility for the loan. If you are eligible for the loan, the money will be deposited in your crediting account within few hours.
Your qualification will be based on whether you meet these requirements or not:
- You must be aged 18 and above.
- You must be a UK resident.
- You must have a regular source of income.
- Your monthly income must not be less than £1,000.
- You must have a functional UK crediting account.
If you need a personal loan to take care of some obligations, check if you meet the requirements here. If you do, you are eligible for the loan and can go ahead and apply for it. The maximum repayment period for personal loans ranges from 2 weeks and 7 years.

A New Mexico town is covered in 8 to 9-foot piles of tumbleweed thanks to days of high desert winds blowing in the roaming bushes.
Homeowners in Clovis say the tumbleweeds just started flowing in on Sunday like 'herds of cow' and have since buried homes and even trapped residents in their houses.
Even longtime Clovis residents say they've never seen anything like it.
via DailyMail
You can't just rake them away if they are blowing in new ones. I guess you just wait it out, or go and pick up 10 at a time and haul them out of town.
