Entry 122: Screw America I Guess

Xenologue 21 Hoshidan Festival of Bonds and Xenologue 22 Nohrian Festival of Bonds

So, these next chapters are a bit of a problem, because they were never released outside of Japan. Meaning that not only can I not play them, but I can’t even read the scripts, because there are no official scripts. All I have is things on the wiki, which might not be reliable.

These seem to be a follow-up to Awakening’s scramble maps, where the army visits a place and we get cgs of them in special outfits. Midori, Dwyer, Forrst, Shigure, Ophelia, and Nina all wear kimonos in the Hoshidan one. Forrest wears a girl's kimono and Nina has two right feet. All of the children have black hair because their mothers (father in Shigure's case) aren't set in stone. The Nohrian festival is Halloween themed and features Xander as a pirate, Subaki as a prince, Leo as a vampire, Camilla as a succubus, Oboro as a gothic lolita, and Setsuna as a mummy. I assume, like the Awakening scramble chapters, they were chosen by a poll.

These chapters come with new Supports between the children and their mothers and between first generation units without Supports respectively. Unfortunately, I can’t read them. There were various people who attempted to translate these Supports, but I don’t have a verifiable list of what Supports were in the Japanese version, so I don’t know how complete any of these translations are. Plus, they are by the very nature of translation different from what we would have got with an official translation. Also, this blog is focused on the English version we got, not the Japanese version.

I am very obviously making excuses to not do these conversations. The thing is, I’m really sick of Fate’s writing and Supports. It has slowly grinded me down over time. I fell off this blog for months, because I am sick of bad Supports, so I don’t want to read dozens more that I don’t have to.

Support: Ignatius/Nina

C: Nina hornily spies on Ignatius talking to another guy. He spots her and she freaks out because she's bad with guys. Ignatius asks her to not follow him.

B: Nina spies on two cute boys. Ignatius shows up and watches the cute boys pickpocket a woman. Ignatius assumes she's trying to fight thievery and they team up to take out the thieves.

A: Nina tries to thank Ignatius, but can't say it. Ignatius realizes she struggles to talk to people. Nina says that Ignatius is kind and reliable and, while not daydream material, she can stand being his friend, if he tries to look cute more often.

S: Ignatius says he wants to be more than friends and calls Nina adorable. Nina starts daydreaming about him and tries to set Ignatius up with another guy.

Review: Pretty good. Nina being awkward around people makes her more tolerable and her accidentally stopping a robbery is amusing.

Support: Forrest/Shigure

C: Shigure uses oil paints instead of watercolors, which is a style from a century ago. Forrest says he studies the fashion in old portraits and cuts his hair based on one portrait.

B: Shigure and Forrest decide to prank their friends by painting a pretty lady, except the lady is actually Forrest!

A: Their friends recognize Forrest in the painting, because he is the only beauty in the army. Take that, Charlotte!

Review: This one is so stupid but I kinda like it. Shigure and Forrest are the nicest friendliest guys in the army, so their idea of a prank is ridiculously lame. It's endearing.

Support: Percy/Velouria

C: Velouria asks if Percy gets tired of hanging out with Ace all the time. Percy says he's always happy around ace. Velouria explains she's more comfortable when alone.

B: Velouria stares at an abandoned bird nest because she wonders if it smells like pretty birds. Percy gets it for her using Ace. Velouria offers him the first sniff.

A: Percy and Ace go to a lake. Velouria wants to go along because they're close friends of hers and she doesn't have many. Vekouria says she'll dig for fossils on the beach. S: Percy gives Velouria a nest from a rooftop. Velouria invites Percy to go treasure hunting with her. Percy says he doubts there'll be any treasure better than her.

Review: A nice friendly Support with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Support: Midori/Ophelia

C: Ophelia does fortune-telling. Midori calls it fake and accuses Ophelia of not wanting to face reality.

B: Midori continues to mock Ophelia's fortune telling saying Ophelia just says stuff she wants to hear. Ophelia counters that this is to build confidence. Ophelia says that's a good thing and offers to tell Midori's fortune. Midori refuses, because she has enough problems in the present, with all the sick people she has to take care of.

A: Midori has a breakdown over all the wounded and dying. Ophelia tells her her destiny: to smile, surrounded by those she've healed. Ophelia says this dream will come true if Ophelia keeps working hard. Ophelia admits she does fortune telling to keep going in a world filled with pain.

Review: Goddamn that was a good Support! I take back like 5% of my complaints about Supports. Midori is a deep character haunted by the stresses of war. She calls out Ophelia for being immature, but Ophelia shows that her coping mechanism isn’t all bad.

Album-Album yang Saya Dengarkan dan Temukan di Tahun 2023.

Di akhir bulan November lalu, saat orang-orang ramai men-share Spotify Wrapped, saya pun ikut men-share juga sekaligus bercerita bagaimana saya mendapatkan musik-musik baru, dan akan membagikannya.

Disclaimer: di sini saya hanya akan membagikan album-album dan EP yang saya dengarkan dan temukan, juga membagikan media-media yang biasa saya baca di dunia musik. Tidak me-review, dikarenakan saya belum cukup mampu. Sebelumnya saya meminta maaf bila ada kesalahan di tulisan ini.

Terima kasih sudah meluangkan waktu, selamat membaca. Semoga bermanfaat.

Jika di tahun-tahun sebelumnya tidak saya hitung, karena masih berputar di album dan playlist yang itu-itu saja. Tapi setelah hasil Spotify Wrapped keluar, saya mendengar lagu sebanyak 2500 lagu.

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: Fossil Wings by Beverly Blatner Bagelman

ADVANCE ORDER: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/fossil-wings-by-beverly-blatner-bagelman/

The poems in Fossil Wings demonstrate one’s power to transform painful or pivotal events into tools for meaning-making. A beach moon offers insight into a beloved brother’s addiction and ultimate death, and a survey of a dying sister’s house juxtaposes a painting in progress beside life sustaining oxygen tanks. The author extracts moments like an orange soda with her dad at a rest stop in the painted desert, and a conversation with her mom about making bisque from scratch, to reveal the small and rare fossils that are imbedded in our lives. Through the weaving of stories like Tonkawa natives and zebra mussels, and black ants and distant fathers, discoveries are made, connecting us to the past, the present, and each other.

Beverly Blatner Bagelman is pursuing her lifelong love of poetry after retiring and moving with her husband to Lake Travis, near Austin, Texas. Beverly combines her psychotherapist training with the innate sensibility of a poet, to traverse internal and external landscapes. Beverly was Shortlisted for the Raw Art Review Chapbook Poetry Prize through Uncollected Press and was the winner of the 2017 Animal Passion Award through Austin Poetry Society. She’s been published in Best Austin Poetry and Ocotillo Review. She hopes that these poems will offer readers solid artifacts of meaning and hope.

PRAISE FOR Fossil Wings by Beverly Blatner Bagelman

Beverly Blatner Bagelman‘s brilliant, brave, and powerful collection, Fossil Wings, explores how we perceive the layers of our evolving lives, guiding stories, and shifting environment with vivid images and lyrical rhythms that linger long after we read her poetry. Just like the “brilliant and clear” wonders found when cracking a geode, her poetry illuminates and clarifies what shines and sings from what cracks us open in this life. From a card game she played with her young daughter to an inventory of a dying sister’s possessions to the iridescence of the scars that remain, she shows us the gems and gaps that our personal histories fossilize in us. At the same time, she writes into the heart of what happens next, as in the poem, “The Mind as Archeological Site.” The hard-won wisdom of finding out more about the story over time with all its big losses and bigger love at once threads through every poem, including “Fossil Wings,” in which she writes, “The universe never sleeps./ It reimagines buried things./ It solders steel with bone/ to make your wings.”

–Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus and author of How Time Moves

Beverly Bagelman’s debut chapbook, Fossil Wings (Finishing Line Press) displays a tenderness lacking in much of contemporary poetry. It is a travelogue through the vastness of the natural world while serving as an introspective examination of our place and purpose within. To find a work of such depth while retaining the beauty and quiet confidence of a master lyricist is refreshing. Bagelman is a debut poet to watch.

–Tony Burnett, managing editor, Kallisto Gaia Press and author of Watermelon Tattoo (Water Tower Press 2023)

23 Documentaries You Can Watch About Saving The Planet

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/23-documentaries-you-can-watch-about-saving-the-planet/

23 Documentaries You Can Watch About Saving The Planet

Whether it’s meat, fashion, waste, or any other aspect of taking care of the world around us, we all have room for improvement.

1.

The Plastic Age (2015)

View this video on YouTube

i-D

This short documentary from i-D begins with a man showing off fossils and relics of ancient civilizations that he has collected. He then pulls out a box of plastic he collected off a beach in Hawaii, and points out that just like there was the Iron Age and the Bronze Age, modern humanity’s legacy (our “fossils”) will be plastic. 

2.

Revolution (2012)

View this video on YouTube

Foundation Features

Documentarian Rob Stewart examines how younger generations are leading the charge in sustainability and tackling the climate crisis. Other films are good at outlining specific issues, but Revolution is a great documentary to watch if you also want to see solutions in action.

3.

The Great Invisible (2014)

View this video on YouTube

Gigantic Pictures

Touching on the oil rig explosion of 2010, I saw one review of this documentary suggest that people instead watch the 2016 film Deepwater Horizon. The reviewer, I think, missed the point of The Great Invisible, which is not to focus on the explosion itself, but everything surrounding it. What about the oil industry led to the disaster? How were the Gulf Coast residents affected for years afterwards? 

The Great Invisible may not be as action-packed as Mark Wahlberg’s Deepwater Horizon, but it’ll teach you much more about real-world systemic issues that are destroying both human and marine life. 

4.

A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for A Living Planet (2012)

View this video on YouTube

Zoetrope Aubry Productions

Interested in the history of the environmental movement? This series examines multiple aspects of climate conservation, from animal activists to water conservationists and many more groups that have been fighting for change for decades.

5.

Waste Land (2010)

View this video on YouTube

Midas Filmes

Artist Vik Muniz travels to Jardim Gramacho, which was at one point one of the largest landfills in the world. Highlighting the catadores (“pickers”) who separate recyclables from the rest of the trash, Muniz creates portraits of the workers as he learns about their lives. After selling the artwork, the proceeds are given back to the catadores.

Jardim Gramacho is located in Rio de Janeiro, and as the filmmakers point out, the famous Christ the Redeemer statue has his back to the landfill. The site received 7,000 tons of garbage every day at its peak, and it had to close just two years after this documentary came out due to toxic waste leaking into the surrounding marshland.

6.

Watermark (2012)

View this video on YouTube

Mongrel Media

Featuring stunning cinematography from natural and manmade water sources across the world, Watermark examines our relationship with water and how we can do better.

7.

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014)

View this video on YouTube

Appian Way

Cowspiracy focuses on the negative impacts the animal industry has on the environment. While the film has received some slight criticism for claiming that the animal industry is the “biggest” contributor to global warming (most scientists agree it is the burning of fossil fuels), Cowspiracy still does an excellent job of shining a light on how unsustainable many of the animal industry’s practices are.

8.

The True Cost (2015)

View this video on YouTube

Life Is My Movie Entertainment

Exploited labor, unsafe—sometimes even fatal—working conditions, and pollution are all consequences of “fast fashion.” The True Cost takes a look at how exactly that shirt at our local department stores can cost so little.

For solutions to issues in the fashion industry, take a look at ReDress the Future below.

9.

ReDress The Future (2021)

View this video on YouTube

Deadbeat Films

The True Cost points out some key ways the fashion industry has gone wrong, and Mikaela Loach’s ReDress the Future examines how it can get back on track.  Loach calls out the designers and innovators who are putting in the effort to improve the fashion industry by way of recycled materials, ethical labor, and more. 

Documentaries like this series are key, because they remind us that sustainability doesn’t have to feel like you’re giving up things you love. Taking care of the planet and ensuring workers aren’t exploited may take more work, but ReDress the Future reminds us that it’s worth it.

10.

Before the Flood (2016)

View this video on YouTube

National Geographic Documentary Films

Mother Nature may be old, but Leonardo DiCaprio still loves it. After finally winning his Oscar for The Revenant, he used the end of his speech to talk about global warming. And the following year, Before the Flood was released. The film smartly and openly uses DiCaprio’s fame (amplified by his Oscar win just months earlier) to draw focus to global warming, and how we can protect endangered species and indigenous people. 

11.

The 11th Hour (2007)

View this video on YouTube

Warner Independent Pictures

Also starring Leonardo DiCaprio, The 11th Hour came out hot on the heels of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. Similar to Before the Flood, this documentary talks to over 50 politicians, scientists, and environmental activists about how the future of our planet is in danger.

12.

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

View this video on YouTube

Paramount Classics

Though the trailer for this 2006 movie can feel like an overly dramatic teaser for a disaster blockbuster, keep in mind that it came out at a time when far fewer people were in agreement that climate change was a severe issue than they are today. Though the movie is more concerned with convincing people that global warming is real than honing in on specific solutions (when compared to something like Gasland or Cowspiracy) this documentary is still crucial in raising awareness for environmental action.

13.

Gasland (2010)

View this video on YouTube

HBO

As documentarian Josh Fox travels across several states in the US, he talks to residents, politicians, scientists, and gas industry executives about fracking.

14.

Mission Blue (2014)

View this video on YouTube

Netflix

Overfishing, plastics, and melting ice caps are having a devastating impact on our oceans. Marine biologist Dr. Sylvia Earle searches for solutions in this Emmy-winning documentary.

15.

The Green Planet (2022)

View this video on YouTube

BBC

This series is narrated by David Attenborough and examines different types of plants, as well as how we interact with them. The series stresses the need for humankind to change its relationship with plants so that we can “make this an even greener planet,” in Attenborough’s words.

16.

The Earthshot Prize: Repairing Our Planet (2021)

View this video on YouTube

BBC

Prince William and Davide Attenborough collaborated on the foundation of the Earthshot Prize. The prize, which is one million pounds in grant money, is awarded to one environmentalist each year for their efforts in sustainability. The series follows the scientists competing for the prize, and how their technologies aim to save the planet.

“The Earthshot Prize is really about harnessing that optimism and that urgency to find solutions to some of the world’s greatest environmental problems.” —Prince William

17.

I Am Greta (2020)

View this video on YouTube

Hulu

I Am Greta details Greta Thunberg’s rise to fame and her passion for environmental action, but it also explores how Thunberg is often toted as a “mascot” for global warming. She is open about how she occasionally feels exploited, and the movie is a good reminder that, while younger generations are often the most sustainable, we shouldn’t leave saving the planet just up to our children.

18.

The Biggest Little Farm (2018)

View this video on YouTube

Neon

John and Molly Chester leave the city of Los Angeles to purchase an abandoned farm just an hour away. They spend the next seven years trying to restore the land into a sustainable farm and a habitat for local wildlife. If you’re interested in seeing solutions, The Biggest Little Farm is a good place to start.

19.

Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things (2016)

View this video on YouTube

Netflix

If you’ve ever wished that you could get rid of everything excessive and get down to only the things you absolutely need, Minimalism is a great place to start. Society can often encourage overconsumption, but a focus on just the important stuff reduces our carbon footprint, pollution, and that feeling that we never have enough.

20.

Our Planet (2019)

View this video on YouTube

Netflix

Another series narrated by David Attenborough, Our Planet puts a spin on the usual style of nature docs. As more and more natural habitats are harmed by human activity, traditional nature documentaries can give a false feeling that the Mother Nature is doing just fine. Our Planet explores stunning ecosystems and beautiful animals, but always reminds the viewer how climate change is impacting those species. It’s a brilliant way to celebrate nature without forgetting that it’s in danger.

21.

Chasing Ice (2012)

View this video on YouTube

Submarine Deluxe

National Geographic photographer James Balog uses the powerfully simple tool of time lapse photography to show changes in the world’s glaciers.

22.

Chasing Coral (2017)

View this video on YouTube

Netflix

In this documentary, Chasing Ice director Jeff Orlowski moves from James Balog’s documentation of ice to the divers and scientists who are studying coral reefs and their disappearance.

Reviewing Old Horse Games part 1: Legacy of Rosemond Hill

A classic, an absolute BANGER of a game. Ancient as hell, 10/10 for nostalgia. These potato horses are just amazing. This is one of the ones I officially completed for the first time at the ripe old age of 26.

Something I was very surprised to see in this old fossil was that the horses are actually different heights?

She’s so tall!

Anyway, gameplay is... Fine For What It Is. Only one movement speed, which is painfully slow. You can only carry one thing at a time, so there’s a lot of walking back and forth. Easily the worst part is cleaning out the stalls; the wheelbarrow’s turning radius is terrible, the doorway is very tiny, the door closes on its own, and one wrong move gets you stuck in a wall with no choice but to reload. Hell on earth.

This game taught me (incorrectly) that the three events in 3 Day Eventing are show jumping, steeplechase, and cross country. There wasn’t any dressage in the game. I did like taking my horses out on “trail rides” to the beach.

Something that stuck with me is how there was a “pulse” meter when the horse was galloping. If it ran at full tilt for too long, it would begin to breathe heavily and if you overexerted your horse in a competition, you’d get kicked out by the vet.

Not a lot of story going on. There’s a bit, something about the legacy, but nothing outstanding. Impress the boy, beat your rival, but even beating her isn’t necessary. No difference in ending.

See that little triangle? That’s a loose stone. Honestly for all of these games I was just thinking “I wish I could go back and revolutionize 3d Modeling with my mediocre concept of shapes.”

This is Melissa. She’s your rival. Her horse is named Comet.

Which reminds me, I’m going to go over some horse names at the ends of these. Alpha is the starter horse, he’s a reddish chestnut. Comet Melissa’s black horse, he is very fast. Then there’s Rocky (love interest’s horse) and Speed (the one that had the baby). The horses I acquired in this run were Darling (grey), Mosaik (appaloosa), and Sunny Girl (palomino).

Dusted Mid-Year Exchange, Part 2: Positive No to Yves Tumour

Six Organs got a lot of mid-year love this time

Welcome back to part two of the Dusted Mid-Year Exchange, in which we tackle the second half of the alphabet. If you missed part one, with its lengthy description of what we’re doing here, you can read it here. Or just muddle through. Cheers.  

Positive No — Kyanite (Little Black Cloud)

Kyanite by Positive No

Who recommended it? Tobias Carroll

Did we review it? No.

Tim Clarke’s take:

Positive No braid tight bursts of guitars, bass and drums into upbeat yet agitated shapes. There’s a touch of Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino in Tracy Wilson’s vocal delivery, or My Bloody Valentine’s Belinda Butcher, especially on expansive opener “Elevator Up.” At just under half an hour, the urgent economy of Kyanite’s songwriting makes all the more sense when you learn that it’s the band’s final album, released on Valentine’s Day this year. As their parting gesture, nothing is wasted, everything invested. As one of the song titles says, “Get In, Get Out. Don’t Linger. Go On.”

 Raspberry Bulbs — Before the Age of Mirrors

Before The Age Of Mirrors by Raspberry Bulbs

Who picked it? Jonathan Shaw

Did we review it? Yes, Jonathan said, “Even in its heaviest metal moments, on ‘Reclaimed Church’ and excellent closing track ‘Given Over to History,’ the record’s punk vibe cuts and grins. It insists on a deadly aesthetic seriousness, and at the same time, it’s tugging the rug out from under its own feet.”

Jennifer Kelly’s take:

Raspberry Bulbs splices punk’s antic venom with metal’s storm and roar, shifting from one mode to the other inside individual tracks, sometimes measure to measure. Consider “Doggerel” which kicks off in a pogo-ing furor, rattling violently over rapid oi band rhythms, everything clipped and percussive, even the vocals, though hoarse and splintered. Midway through, a sirening guitar riff intercedes and the singing turns ominous and measured; all the sudden it’s metal. “Midnight Line” pulls the opposite trick, beginning in clanging, feedback-morphing guitar and larynx shredding howl, then introducing a punk rock palm-muted chug and anthemry. It’s a volatile mix, at times nearly playful, at others agonizingly heavy, at still others (the “Intervals” mostly) surprisingly lyrical.  I lean towards the punk-er tracks—"They’re After Me” and “Doggerel”— metal fans may feel otherwise.

 Stephen Riley — Friday the 13th (Steeplechase)

Who recommended it? Derek Taylor

Did we review it? Yes. Derek said, “Knuffke and Riley are a directly collaborative pairing now and their partnership politely demands many more dates like this one.”

Justin Cober-Lake's take:

Saxophonist Stephen Riley has put together a quartet with a singular idea of playing these classic tunes on Friday the 13th in relatively straightforward and spacious renditions. Their take on Eddie Vinson's “Four” has Riley and cornetist Kirk Knuffke trading long solos. The rhythm section does its job, but it's a horn players' record. The album comes alive most when Knuffke and Riley interact more immediately. On Oliver Nelson's “Hoe Down,” they reveal how great a partnership they have, initially matching each other on the main melody before spiraling off. “Round Midnight” could have been too obvious a choice, but the combo's personalized take on the standard works out. Everyone sounds at ease enough within the song that they take a few more risks, and the horn players supplement each other nicely with more harmonic considerations. The album ends with a trio of spirited numbers, and in each case Riley and Knuffke play off each other's solos with a sharpness that by now makes sense. Riley's listening to Monk and playing like Rollins (hence the title track) as he and his group find ways to make old bop sound new.

  Gil Scott-Heron and Makaya McCraven—We’re New Again, A Reimagining (XL Recordings)

Who recommended it? Jenny Kelly.

Did we review it? Yes. Arthur Krumins notes, “McCraven lays down a lush musical backdrop that allows Scott-Heron’s words to have emotional impact.”

Jonathan Shaw’s take:

The word “reimagine” has a sexy resonance, and for that reason, it’s often too casually used. But in the case of We’re New Again, the word is warranted. Drummer and producer Makaya McCraven doesn’t just remix Gil Scott-Heron’s final record, I’m New Here (2010); McCraven shuffles the track list, adds some relevant recordings of Scott-Heron’s voice, and creates entirely new arrangements, moods, and musical accompaniment for the earlier album’s songs. It’s ballsy — I’m New Here is justly recognized as a masterpiece, and it’s marked by a stylistic austerity. On that record, Scott-Heron sang and spoke and recited his poetry over minimalist beats, a strummed guitar, or his own piano playing. McCraven attentively reimagines the tunes, working with polyphonic, post-Bop ensembles; busy hip-hop soundscapes; gospel and funk quotations. Remarkably, none of the richness of Scott-Heron’s vocals and none of the complexity of his poetry get obscured. More often, McCraven inventively intensifies the impact of Scott-Heron’s songs. And the reordering and recontextualizing of the tracks reveals a different narrative, grounded in the resilience and the suffering of Scott-Heron’s upbringing and too-short life. You listen and you feel it. It’s a terrific record.

Six Organs of Admittance — Companion Rises (Drag City)

Companion Rises by Six Organs of Admittance

Who recommended it? Jennifer Kelly

Did we review it? Yes. Jenny said it’s “straight-down-the-middle Six Organs, not as loud and abrasive as the first Hexadic disc, not as reticently wisp-y as the older folk-derived records.”

Patrick Masterson’s take:

Back when Dusted was still a dot-com, we talked about making a site-specific canon for our 10th anniversary, a kind of “Dusted 500” field guide. There was a shared spreadsheet and talk of a benefit show and a mixtape comp and so on that never amounted to anything for myriad reasons, but I can promise you Ben Chasny would’ve figured into it somehow — and nearly a decade on from that, my promise stands. The latest (30th? Let’s call it 30th) Six Organs of Admittance record is a beautiful slow burner that shows why, all astral spirits and slow-rolling starlight guitar plucks that is, as Jenny rightly notes, a Six Organs line drive. My belief after numerous spins since early February — mostly in the mornings, for which this music also seems suitable accompaniment — is that, like the rest of Chasny’s oeuvre, it will appeal to anyone who likes guitars or reads this. On the off chance you stumbled in here or haven’t heard this record yet: Welcome. It’s always been this way.

Patrick Masterson

 Spanish Love Songs — Brave Faces Everyone (Pure Noise)

Brave Faces Everyone by Spanish Love Songs

Who recommended it? Ian Mathers

Did we review it? Yes. Ian said, “it’s more a record of solidarity and mutual support than it is anything more prescriptive.”

Patrick Masterson’s take:

L.A. quintet Spanish Love Songs occupy a very specific point on what I like to think of as the Bar Band Spectrum, where one end is a bottom-rung covers-only collective found in just about any weeknight dive pre-COVID playing for beer money out of boredom and modest ambition… and the other end is Bruce Springsteen. This band isn’t as ramshackle as, say, Ladyhawk, nor have they yet hit a glass ceiling à la the Constantines; they sound to me more like Beach Fossils or Single Mothers, where everything from their songwriting to their slightly glossy production suggests they’re as ready as they’ll ever be for arena life. And what a record to make the case, too: Brave Faces Everyone is the sound of Run for Covers Records growing up or early onset Gen Z realizing a glass of wine after everything is, in fact, a coping mechanism for adulthood in a profoundly uncaring world. It’s got a big, young heart to match its big, old sound. It says, loudly, that in the increasingly untethered reality of 2020, we are all losers forever — but there’s still a “best of it” to be made if you wanna and the bravest face is an optimistic one. I’ll rock with that (from the quarantined confines of home and the other side of another lousy livestream, of course).

Patrick Masterson

Squirrel Flower — I Was Born Swimming (Polyvinyl)

I Was Born Swimming by Squirrel Flower

Who picked it? Patrick Masterson

Did we review it? Nope.

Arthur Krumins’ take:

Making the most of a dour mood, Squirrel Flower squeezes disaffection from her vocal delivery. The instrumentation is reminiscent of a less noisy Built to Spill, or maybe Julie Doiron, and is effectively now a retro indie rock sound originally from the late 90s or early 2000s. The jamminess of some of the drawn out riffs feel both pretty and sad, and could be a good soundtrack to a rainy drive. The heaviness is well developed without being bogged down. The lyrics catch your attention with their plainspoken narration of conflict (“You slap me, I’ll slap you right back” she repeats in “Slapback”). A fitting album for looking your troubles head on while still being totally surrounded by them.

 Waterless Hills — The Great Mountain (Cardinal Fuzz)

Waterless Hills - 'The Great Mountain' by Waterless Hills

Who picked it? Bill Meyer

Did we review it? No.

Arthur Krumins’ take:

A dissonant flow that steadily increases in intensity starts this record, which is a live recorded improvisation. The combination of aching, modal violin by dbh with slightly overdriven cascading electric guitar by C Joynes makes for a feel reminiscent of “Venus in Furs” by the Velvet Underground. The percussion by Andrew Cheetham, a drum kit plug some extras like a hung Chinese gong, creates texture and mood. Sometimes there’s just a steady counting of time in the background, at other moments waves of cymbals crash and make a cacophonous emphasis as the music rises and falls. The overall effect of the jams is hypnotic, like getting absorbed in a swirling light show. The players’ sensitivity to the musical interplay of their instruments, combined with a masterful looseness, makes it a trip worth taking.

Well Yells — We Mirror the Dead (Self-released)

Who recommended it? Ian Mathers.

Did we review it? Yes. Ian Mathers notes, “tipping towards the slightly industrial/EBM side of the genre, We Mirror the Dead gains a kind of gloomy propulsion without losing any of the atmosphere or intensity of [the band’s] prior work.”

Jonathan Shaw’s take:

The Gothic is not famous for stylistic restraint, and neither are the various contemporary subgenres that have inherited goth music’s romance of dark interiors, painfully fraught feeling and highly stylized self-fashioning. A few recent acts have cut against the grain of those established maximalist textures: see the grim industrial rancor of Street Sects, and the more experimental, sample-based austerities of Wreck and Reference. Well Yells’ music feels similarly stripped down to a pulsing electronic essence. But the record is more interested in the strobing spaces of Clubland than in decrepit factory ruins, and the darkwave gloss of We Mirror the Dead presents a more conventional relation to goth’s sensations. At its best—as on album opener “Kill the King”—the music of Patrick Holbrook, sole member of Well Yells, snaps and glimmers with compelling dread and arch sophistication. Holbrook’s breathy tenor is a useful counterpoint; his vocals are vaguely reminiscent of the best of those other habitués of Clubland, the British New Romantics (remember Bronski Beat?). It’s good stuff, somehow simultaneously polished and dirty.

  Lucinda Williams—Good Souls Better Angels (Thirty Tigers/Highway 20 Records)

Who recommended it? Justin Cober-Lake

Did we review it? No.

Bill Meyer’s take: I haven’t listened much to Lucinda Williams; the one record I have by her, Sweet Old World, is 28 years old. The first thing that hit me when I listened to Good Souls Better Angels is what’s changed. Williams’ voice is much rougher, and she’s adjusted the music correspondingly, adding Hendrixian guitar flourishes to “Bone of Contention” and coarsening the domestic violence scenario “Wakin’ Up” with bad-trip electronics. The next is how pissed she sounds. Violent boyfriends are bad enough, but having a charmless sociopath for president is even worse. Fortunately, bile hasn’t overwhelmed her writing chops. Big-sounding roots rock isn’t really my thing these days, but if I feel the need to change that, Good Souls Better Angels is a good place to start.  

  Wire — Mind Hive (Pink Flag)

Who picked it? Andrew Forell

Did we review it? Yes, Andrew said, “Mind Hive is concise yet full of restless intelligence, musical ideas and willingness to push boundaries.”  

Derek Taylor’s take:

I tapped Wire late and left early. That truncated exposure lends a narrow vocabulary in describing their music contextually, pre- and post-reunions. This latest missive sounds alternately like what I remember and at least several zip codes removed with a heavy lean into synths. “Be Like Them” and “Primed and Ready” fall in the former category, while “Off the Beach” trades gangly ennui and menace for what almost resembles instrumental optimism until the lyrics stack dutifully into another ode to the disaffected and disconnected. “Oklahoma” feels inscrutably weird. “Hung” drops as the album’s extended, incremental, post-industrial dirge. There’s additional insulation sheathing this Wire, an inevitable adjunct of ascendancy to elder status, but the current foursome is still dependably conducting current.

 Yves Tumour — Heaven to a Tortured Mind (Warp)

Who recommend it? Patrick Masterson

Did we review it? No.

Ian Mathers’ take:

Listen to music for long enough and you might realize that most of the time when you hope any artist goes in any particular direction with their work, you’re bound to be disappointed. But every so often, maybe after a promising album that you just didn’t fully click with, an artist does exactly what you were hoping for and fully manifests all the potential promise you thought you glimpsed. Yves Tumor’s 2018 album Safe in the Hands of Love was admirable in many ways, but it was really only on crucial single “Noid” that all the combustible elements were really brought together into something that properly bangs. Well, Heaven to a Tortured Mind might not have as many showcases for the ambient/noise chops that Tumor definitely has, but it does consistently bang for 36 minutes of should-be alternate universe pop hits, from the brassy “Gospel for a New Century” to the floaty duet “Kerosene!” For anyone who loved “Noid” and then found more to respect than the viscerally love on Tumor’s last record, this is the record you were waiting for, and it is magnificent and ferocious.

Now at the Department of National Intelligence is Johnny Mcentee , a 29 year old former football player who worked on the campaign.

Well, it is none other than Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence. She calls it the list of snakes.

Andrew Yang is a new correspondent at CNN. He tells us that he is getting word from former donors that Bloomberg is calling those big donors. Allegedly he is telling them they do not have to donate to his campaign because he can afford his own campaign but he still won’t forget them. He would like them to save their money and not give money to other democrats running either.** And I am so sick of talking heads trying to tell us to play it safe. We are not as stupid as we look, thank you!! ** Now there is a firestorm about Bernie telling the world that the education program that Castro implemented was a good thing. I understand the anger and it could not have come at a worse time and he did it to himself. BUT..  We are adults and we have to be able to talk about things as they really are, not in sound bites. Castro sucked and history teaches us that bad people do good things occasionally and good people do bad things once in a while. ** It seems that everyone was in agreement that we would all gather behind the winner of the democratic campaign to beat Trump. Suddenly when it could be Bernie, everybody is bitching.

*****

This month held 2 more Democratic debates. The Nevada debate got pretty heated. I see that Mayor Pete and Bloomberg are lefties (left handed that is). Pete always looked poised and articulate which I appreciate and he got in a good one when he mentioned that the party should choose someone who is actually a democrat.  Bernie seemed a little rattled by that. Later Pete really dressed down Amy Klobuchar and made himself look like a dick. Joe Biden jumped in with his credits occasionally but often seemed a bit lost. He slammed back that they were all talking about the health care plane he helped to create and that he himself had dealt with the Mexican President. His name came up after it was mentioned that Amy could not remember the President’s name. The gloves were off with Bloomberg as Elizabeth Warren called him out on Billionaires and NDA’s. I loved the interaction but realistically Mr. Mike can’t just release people from agreements they made in an NDA, especially if it did not involve him. Bloomberg sounded pompous and clueless about the world outside of his company. He got a moan when he said he couldn’t exactly use turbo tax and when he said he may have told a few jokes that women didn’t like. He brushed off his taxes much like Trump does. The former mayor of NY called out socialists as communists. Klobuchar had the best comeback of the night when she was told her health care plan could fit on a post it. She proclaimed that the post it was invented in her state of Minnesota. Again, there were people shouting from the audience as Joe tried to talk. C’mon give everybody an equal chance.

*****

The South Carolina debate was fiery as well. The CBS debate was hosted by Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell. Bloomberg was booed right off the bat about Russia helping Bernie but he late had many cheers. He and Biden and Steyer had some real support there. Tom Steyer was actually quite impressive and seemed well spoken.  He was the only one who brought up the impeachment. He had a great point that we all know that republicans who did not convict Trump are complicit in the Russian meddling. Then he ruined it all by being alarmist with his fear. He warned us off the former republican and the socialists. I loved Bernie’s ideas about small business’s getting in on the marijuana business and not letting big corporations taking it over. He is also the only one in debates that I have seen consistently bring up Native Americans.  Biden again kept jumping in to tell us that he did this or that. Amy disagreed about a bill he claimed to have written. Warren said “dig in” numerous times. She went for the jugular with Bloomberg when she said a former female employee of his said to “kill it” in response to her pregnancy. He denied it but it sure is memorable. She did make great points that he has given much money to Linsey Graham’s campaign as well as other republican runs including against her. BTW he also gave 2.3 mil to Rick Snyder, the Gov of Michigan after the water crisis was well known.  I love that Amy is always saying that we shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves but she just does not have the votes so she needs to go. Bernie got some boos about guns for he seems the softest in that area.

*****

Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary in a big way.

*****

Dick Van Dyke, Sarah Silverman and Public Enemy among others will be at the Bernie Sanders rally in L.A. on March 1.

*****

Just think what the 400 million that Bloomberg spent on his campaign could have done for the debt of the average American.  Instead of a campaign for a presidency that he can’t win, he could have helped so many get a leg up.

*****

I don’t understand why “respected” journalists like Chuck Todd don’t throw W H reps off the set when they disrespect him or his colleagues with fake news jabs.

*****

Bob Moore of Bob’s Red Mill is giving his company away to his employees. Now, that’s a boss!!

*****

Bone, Thugs and Harmony have made a deal with Buffalo Wild Wings to rename themselves Boneless thugs and Harmony. The publicity stunt is to promote boneless wings.

*****

NASA is hiring.

*****

Scotland has made feminine sanitary products free!!

*****

Is this true? There were pigeons in Nevada with MAGA hats glued to their heads??

*****

The final Criminal Minds has aired. CBS often aired double episodes which made it seem like they really wanted to get rid of it. Kirsten Vangsness and Erica Messer wrote the final episode which seemed to give special attention to Penelope and Reid as they were the originals. The other characters seemed a little overlooked but they all had happy endings. Where was Reid’s new girlfriend?  I was hoping to see Shemar Moore but it was great to see Reisgraf and Howell which are old favorites.

*****

Animal Kingdom returns to TNT on May 28.

*****

So there is a bit of a mess with the Roger Stone sentencing. Trump is hopping mad about the long sentence recommendation, Barr is said to be pretending to spar with the Prez, the DOJ is backing down and people are resigning.

How To Plan A Safari To Africa?

There are a few key inquiries to, thoroughly consider when arranging your optimal safari occasion to Africa. The first is “The thing that would you truly like to do?” Not what you figure you should do, nor what your companions prescribe, however, the closest thing you can accomplish to your very own most out of this world fantasy of what you need from your African safari tours.

The considerations that need consideration

The other primary contemplations are your own prosperity, wellness, capacities and your accessible spending plan. Do you need Luxury, Deluxe or Budget-spending itinerary with reputed tour operators? Would you like to see the breathtaking hordes of the Serengeti and Masai Mara migrating wildebeests, zebras or mighty elephants of Chobe, Tarangire and Amboseli from a 4×4 game-review safari vehicle?

Would you like to take a gander at perfect wild or Grand River from a treehouse, a camp, the deck of a house-pontoon or a tourist balloon? Would you like to film, photo the Big Five in Tanzania’s NgorongoroCrateror South Africa’s Kruger NationalPark, or would you like to, just yet discerningly experience the dynamic, extraordinary environment of Botswana’s rich Okavango Delta or the UNESCO World Site Legacy wild of Lewa Conservancy in Laikipia cushioned around Mount Kenya.

Does your inclination reach out to chic voyages through Garden Route in the Eastern Cape or differing celebrations in Zanzibar or Cape Town? On the other hand, do you long to test yourself against the most testing territory on the planet? It can be from mountains and volcanoes like Kilimanjaro and OlDonyoLengai in northern Tanzania to burning the Namibian desert on the Skeleton Coast and scuba diving in the brilliant coral reefs of the Indian Ocean in Mafia, Pemba and Mombasa. Maybe your feeling of experience reaches out to bungee jumping at Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe, whitewater boating on the Zambezi or even Uganda’s Nile, fly-camping along the Luangwa Stream in Zambia or Rufiji Waterway in Selous Tanzania finishing with trekking through challenging untamed woods overflowing with fire ants and vexes looking for imperiled Rwandan and Ugandan gorillas.

Vacation exercises of reputed tour operators can likewise stretch out to social or chronicled endeavors, which can be as enlightening as the ingrained instincts of a Kalahari bushman in Makgadikgadi, as moving as a Maasai wedding, function in the Mara. It can be as stunning as the fossil bones or impressions of ancient man in KoobiFora Turkana or Olduvai Crevasse or old cavern rock canvases in Botswana’s TsodiloHills, Matobo Hills and Diana’s Promise in Zimbabwe, and as tragic as remembrances of Rwandan destruction. You can even discover chances to chip in as an educator, a games coordinator, a specialist, a progressive, a humanist or an analyst at numerous goals in South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia or Zambia. You can do so on ventures as shifted as restoring panthers, checking birds, lion and rhino following undertakings, securing turtles and sharks and furthermore giving a hand to younger students living with their host families or orphanages.

Contingent upon the motivation behind your visit, your voyage through Africa can be will be determined by what you would like to see and experience A romantic honeymoon could be spent in Botswana, horse-riding in South Africa or at shoeless beach heaven by the Indian Ocean in Zanzibar, Mozambique, Seychelles, Maldives or Mauritius, or any combination of these destibations and that’s just the beginning. In the event that you are putting resources into an anniversary adventure, you should extend it to cover an assortment of goals and exercises during a similar wild outing. Whatever your fanciful idyll includes, reputed safari organizations have the skill and energy to make a consistent, bother free custom agenda to envelop any or the entirety of your most stunning travel dreams.

Where to Go On Safari In Africa 

There are three unmistakable and darling zones to visit on your safari getaway with reputed tour operators. Though a great part of the natural life can seem comparative, there are incredible contrasts in immaculate verses created unsettled areas, untamed life or guest fixations, climate, landscape, perspectives and openings. Major Southern African safari goals incorporate the Kruger and Sabi Sand, Etosha, Sossusvlei, Okavango Delta, Chobe, South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, Victoria Falls, Hwange, Mana Pools, Matobo Hills and so forth. Botswana and Zimbabwe bolster enormous crowds of up to 80% of Southern Africa’s populace of more than 300,000 elephants and Kruger – Sabi Sand is the Central Hub for the Big Five in South Africa.

Kenya and Tanzania are prime untamed life safari gems in East Africa, enveloping Lake Victoria, moving savannahs, the incomparable African Rift Valley, the Swahili coast and islands of the Indian Ocean. Here you will discover Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti Plains, Selous, Tarangire, Masai Mara, Amboseli and the incredible pools of Manyara and Nakuru as the essential visited biological system. The yearly wildebeest migration sees a huge number of ungulates conquering floods, flames and starvation in the quest for crisp grazing between Tanzania’s Serengeti in the south and Kenya’s Masai Mara in the north. Other corresponding and occasionally the less dealt goals incorporate Katavi, Selous, Ruaha, Mahale, Laikipia, Samburu’s Northern Wilderness, Chyulu Hills – Tsavo and that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Rwanda and Uganda are most popular for gorilla and primate tracking safaris in Volcanoes and Bwindi Parks as a major aspect of the more noteworthy East Africa just like the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a piece of Central Africa

The various zones offer various styles and experiences of the African safari experience.

Botswana has low sightseers apportion with “glamping” or camping spectacularly in extravagance tented confined venues in huge, untainted wild regions: the objective here is to give fewer quantities of advanced visitors paying more to have liberated access to enormous private conservancies for continuous and undisturbed natural life viewing experience which yields a profoundly valid encounter away from the majority. It leaves the experience unscripted as the manner in which nature would have proposed it to be.

Zambia, the final most stunning Africa, will, in general, be supported as a prepared returning safari nation for repeat guests who like to appreciate the final wild with strong quantities of natural life and birdlife populace in unblemished biology. One can experience exceptionally outdoorsy rural conditions – not for the timid when an elephant scrounges its trunk over the outside washroom during the long stretch of the October heat. One can have the “pleasure” of having restricted water fill late-night bucket shower after a bush supper in a flame lit zone of tent’s sandy floor may show a crawl or development however drives the prepared Africa voyager to be unflinching by the happenings and esteem it as being in the bramble.

The natural life involvement with Southern Africa is less dense than in East Africa as the spearheading untamed life goals where there are frequently more sightseers obliged in progressively populated lodgings in littler zones, for example, the Ngorongoro highlands or Masai Mara. Yet for those like to experrience it properly, there are still increasingly crude, valid wild regions open on private conservancies and parks in Laikipia, Ruaha, Selous and Katavi.

To what extent To Go on an African Safari 

While ponderiung to what extent your safari will last, you have to think about how to get the ideal incentive from your excursion. As a rule, airfare to your destination in Africa costs when booked well ahead of time.

We suggest arranging the safari trip logistics effectively to abstain from backtracking to the first appearance point. Reputed tour operators can assist you with arranging and plot the logistics effectively. Obviously, on the off chance that you can bear the cost of an opportunity to visit a few parks in different nations, it is smarter to gather exercises in contiguous zones. For example, a visit to Victoria Falls in Zambia or Zimbabwe by the compelling Zambezi River combined with Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta in Botswana and completion with Kruger National Park in South Africa can amount to a superb safari!.

Make a northern circuit voyage through Tanzania with Tarangire, Lake Manyara, NgorongoroCrater and the Serengeti or essentially trail to Amboseli, Nakuru-Naivasha, Laikipia or Samburu and Masai Mara in mysterious Kenya can be well combined with  a trip to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi in Uganda or Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. On the other hand, differentiate a particular encounter of the Skeleton Coast of Namibia with an excursion to Sossusvleiending with exploring the wonderful Etosha National Park.

Consider doing a safari of 12 – 14 days. There is such a great amount to choose – from horse-riding, ballooning and white-water rafting to pro bird watching, photography, angling, scuba diving, hiking and trekking…

 It might be ideal to consolidate a thrilling encounter, for example, a wild safari in Sabi Sand in Kruger, with a restful voyage through South Africa’s Garden Route ending in Cape Town. Or end with a relaxing stay in Zanzibaer, after a safari in Kenya or Tanzania.

Photo Safaris will be pleased to recommend the best blend of goals for the traveling time that you have for a flawlessly great dream safari. Call 928.899.5917 to have a word with them and plan your trip to Africa after the pandemic of COVID 19.

THE TOP 10 sights in Golden Bay 2020

Actually we wanted to walk the whole Abel Tasman Coast Track. Among other things we had transported our two tents, sleeping bags and camping mats halfway around the world. There is also a nice beach, a restaurant and a camping site. There we parked our camper for a few days in 2011 and from there we started our hiking tour in the Abel Tasman National Park.

Frequently asked questions about hotels in Golden Bay

Of course we also liked the fact that the Archway Café offered delicious coffee and muffins after our trip to the beach. I'd rather not imagine what it might look like there during the high season. Freedom Camping in Golden Bay is also possible, although not directly at Wharariki Beach! The Golden Bay in New Zealand, the northernmost tip of the South Island, is really a secret tip. You can only get there with your own car, and most New Zealand travellers simply don't have time for this beautiful spot.

On this tour you have a lot of freedom to explore the region on your own. Treat yourself to some peace and quiet or go on a discovery tour - design your holiday in the way that is best for you. We let all contributions speak for themselves and do not conduct a reality check. Booking.com is merely a distributor of feedback from guests and accommodation. Whether negative or positive - we publish every review in full and as soon as possible, after checking that it complies with Booking.com's guidelines. We also show you transparently what the status of your submitted review is.

You will stop at rough cliffs where seals sunbathe with their young and where you can find ancient fossils of former coastal inhabitants.

If you continue straight north to Motueka and leave Highway 60 after a few kilometers towards Marahau, the road gets more and more twisty as time goes by.

Some of Hollywood's stars and starlets have created a little holiday paradise here, far away from paparazzi and glamour hustle and bustle.

>>ul> Read more about campervan hire New Zealand here.

The area offers a lot of what you find in the rest of New Zealand, but in my opinion especially beautiful, especially empty, especially special. Dunes, forests, long golden beaches, wild rocks, waterfalls, bird sanctuaries, bays. At some point the green hills turn into sand dunes, behind which the huge beach is revealed. Even after seven years Wharariki had lost none of its fascination for us.

Friday, July 20th, 2018 – Rowdiness Ensues as Beach Fossils Rock the Box Garden at Legacy Hall on a Sweltering Summer Night

Typically, there’s a pretty casual vibe about the Box Garden at Legacy Hall. The rows of tables for people to sit at while they dine on the assortment of food that the food hall, Legacy Hall, has to offer keeps things rather laidback, even on the nights when they have a band gracing the stage. That wasn’t the case this night. Beach Fossils was coming to Texas for a round of headline shows – their first in the state in a few years -- and people were ecstatic about that. So excited, in fact, that many made the brief trek from Dallas – and elsewhere – to the suburbs, opting to spend their Friday night in Plano. The turnout was impressive. (It was a free event, making it near impossible to pass up.) An ample amount of space had been freed up by moving several tables out of the way in order to accommodate patrons; and with a couple hundred or so fans in attendance the vibe was conducive of the true concert experience. On this night there was no doubting that people were there specifically for the band, not the food and that atmosphere which may include some live music. That intimate feel of a club show that one might expect from the venues in Deep Ellum, the Box Garden had it. And in line with that, things were a little less punctual at the venue that always keeps a tight schedule. Originally slated to start at nine, Beach Fossils wouldn’t take the stage until 9:22. That upside to that was it further fueled the anticipation concertgoers were experiencing. Groups of fans broke into fanfare from time to time, acting as if the quartet had walked into sight, or perhaps hoping that would coax them out of the green room. By the time they did appear the audience was dying to hear whatever the New York-based indie rock outfit had prepared for them.

What that would wind up being was a barrage of hits, much of their early stuff this night being fan favorites, or so suggested the gleeful cheers and applause from onlookers. That included Beach Fossils’ opener, “Generational Synthetic”, which helped establish the mood for the next 50-minutes. There are so many layers to the bands’ brand of lo-fi indie rock, as was demonstrated nicely by the fairly vibrant and upbeat music bed, countered by the somewhat melancholic tone of Dustin Payseur’s voice. The conflicting styles pair together so well, though; and the quartet quickly followed it up with another cut from Clash the Truth, seamlessly bleeding that number into the exhilarating “Shallow”. The audience, particularly those congregated right at the front of the stage, were feeling what they were hearing. Out of nowhere one guy began crowd surfing. He would be a trendsetter for the night, plenty more men and women to follow suit. “Plano is getting rowdy. I’m liking it,” Payseur remarked afterwards, being legitimately surprised by the enthusiastic reaction he and his band mates were already receiving. It would ultimately get more intense, a small handful of people even making it on stage, the staff being quick to remove those who got that far. They hastily changed roles for their next song, the lead track and single from 2017’s Somersault (out via Secretly Publishing). Tinged with hope, the somewhat introspective “This Year” saw Tommy Davidson swapping from an electric to an acoustic guitar, while Jack Doyle Smith passed his bass off to Payseur and then grabbed a guitar. Out for a little over a year now, the tracks from Beach Fossils’ third LP weren’t as celebrated as the material fans were more familiar with, though there was still a lot of enjoyment in experiencing those songs live. That was readily apparent when Davidson proceeded to clap his hands to the beat at one point, most of the spectators joining him. Beach Fossils already had an enthralling hold over everyone, and they were still just warming up. (No pun intended for this scorcher of a day, a new daily record having been set thanks to the 110° high. And it was still fairly brutal out even at that time of night.) As they returned to their initial instruments it was Anton Hochheim who helped kill the time, the drummer laying down some heavy and pronounced beats as he transitioned them into another offering from their latest release. They would perform around half of the songs found on Somersault this night, Payseur almost warning everyone that they had more coming up when they arrived at the next one a few songs later. “It’s called Freak on a Leash,” he quipped, the joke almost going over the heads of some people before they finally caught it. There may even be another way to read into that, given that “Saint Ivy” is political in nature; the serene song sounding beautiful, despite the palpable frustration and unhappiness that the lyrics exude. Shortly after they tackled the penultimate track from that record, “Be Nothing” elevating Payseur, Smith, Davidson and Hochheim to a whole new level as performers. They owned it as the dreamy, gauzy soundscape morphed into a form of powerhouse rock at the instrumental break down. Hochheim led the charge as he pummeled his drum kit; the riffs being far more blistering though no less mesmerizing, all of them looking totally in their element as gave themselves fully to the music. The pace had picked up dramatically with that song, Beach Fossils becoming more invigorated and dynamic, and they would only build upon that from there on out. “…Wow!” Payseur stated a little later on in the night, still totally blown away by the turnout and the adoration the fans were displaying. He questioned how far Dallas was from here, even asking if anyone had come up from there. A ton of hands shot up into the air. “Is this part of Dallas?” he questioned, ultimately apologizing for any sort of “party foul”; Davidson laughing as he assumed that was perhaps like asking if Queens was close to Brooklyn. At their behest the front lighting went totally dark, the few lights at the back of the stage being the only ones still on as they wanted to cultivate something more atmospheric for what they described as a “slow burn”. It was behooving to the vibe that “Sleep Apnea” boasts, fitting its depressive state; its hypnotic grip being all the tighter because of it. That was one of many that had fans roaring once they recognized it, the final stretch of their set being loaded with more favorites. “Daydream” was one of those and it broke the more somber mood that had pervaded some of those songs, allowing things to end on a slightly more upbeat note; the musicians expressing their gratitude to everyone before taking their leave. It was as if they had sped up time. It just felt like a quick show, and it was surprising to see just how much time had passed once they had finished. Despite the unforgiving heat that still lingered the music of Beach Fossils had helped everyone get caught up in the moment, kind of forgetting about the weather. And no one wanted it to stop there. The chants for one more song stretched on for a few minutes and it began to seem as if they may not be answered. But then Payseur, Smith, Davidson and Hochheim reemerged. “I just want to take a second to tell you how incredible you are…” Payseur stated. It was overwhelmingly genuine and from the heart, the singer and guitarist truly amazed by the turnout, especially after being away from Texas for so long. They had not just one but a few songs left to play, and their encore didn’t go off without a hitch. To say Payseur flubbed the lyrics to “Sugar” wouldn’t be accurate, as he spaced on pretty much all of the second verse. He owned it, though, and he deserves kudos for that. “…I forgot my lyrics,” he said, laughing it off, picking back up come the chorus. That was the only misstep that Beach Fossils made this night. And it wasn’t really all that bad. Sure, it wasn’t ideal, either, though it didn’t derail everything. And Payseur didn’t try to come up with any excuses or fake his way through it. And that deserves a certain amount of respect. The encore portion primarily served to further push the music from Somersault, but sandwiched in-between those was “Clash the Truth”, which seemed to fully satisfy everyone in attendance. “I love each and every one of you!” Payseur declared after a truly epic finish to the show, smiling as they took their leave. They certainly did love everyone who had ventured out this night. As if the temperature wasn’t bad enough, the body heat from so many people being clustered together made it even more overbearing. The musicians were well aware of that. Throughout the night they handed out some of the bottles of water they had to fans in need, occasionally throwing water on people as well. They did what they could to attempt to keep people cool, all while enduring it themselves and working to put on a show that made up for their lengthy absence. They excelled in that aspect. Beach Fossils is a live band in the sense that one really needs to witness them in order to fully appreciate the intricacies of their music and the manner in which they finesse a crowd. As a group they coalesced to be something stunning, working in excellent harmony with one another, their cohesion as a unit being remarkable. At the same time, there were multiple moments where each of the four of them got to put their musical prowess on full display, momentarily taking the spotlight and dazzling the onlookers before focus returned to them as a unit. That chemistry and the self-assured demeanor they exhibited was Beach Fossils most riveting quality as they constantly demonstrated their mastery over the indie rock genre. Even with a lo-fi approach, the sound isn’t necessarily anything new, though Beach Fossils act as an archetype for that style of music, having carved out their niche and further perfected it with each release. The somber air that hangs heavy on so many of their pieces contributes significantly to their depth. Payseur’s voice articulates that perfectly, while the knack he has for penning songs of that ilk ensures that the music is identifiable to an array of people. As was evident this night, in a decently packed Box Garden. The venue has hosted a couple of heavyweights from the D-FW music scene thus far -- another big show coming up soon. But this one with Beach Fossils set a new benchmark for what the free events the venue regularly hosts can be. It proved what was expected: The Box Garden can host touring bands that typically would be performing at a club in Dallas. And people will make a point to head up to the suburbs to see it. Some people were there simply to hang out, but for the most part it was a legion of loyal Beach Fossil fans. It has only been open a couple of months, but already the Box Garden is starting to realize its full potential. It’s a growing experience, as is to be expected, but the show this night was crucial in further establishing it as a hot spot for concerts. Hopefully they’ll pull in more touring acts in the future, something to provide more balance between the topnotch local talent that graces the stage a few nights out of each week. As for Beach Fossils, their next shows will be in Mexico, specifically in Guadalajara, Mexico City and Ciudad Juarez on July 25th, 26th and 27th, respectively.

Stuff to do in Houston

One of our favorite things to do is to visit a selfie museum. Picture a museum-like environment filled with all different and unique photo opportunities all in one spot. It’s a perfect outing for the entire family to enjoy. A great experience will leave its guests with unforgettable memories and a ton of new unforgettable photos. But not all selfie museums are created equal! We recommend checking social media reviews and profiles to find the ones with rooms you would like take photos in. Also explore if the experience offers add-ons like free ring lights or friendly photo attendants available to help assist you with the photos. This is especially important if you plan to go solo. The little things all add up to a great overall experience. Another factor of a Selfie Museum Houston is the quality of the rooms and if there are any time limits. Some museums have an hour time limit and force you to leave even if you’re not done taking photos. Others may not have any time limits at all. Although many people might be turned off by the term selfie museum and think its a form of self indulgence, it really is just a place for guests to relax and to enjoy taking fun photos. Don’t hesitate to try one out the next time you discover one in your city. And don’t forget to share your favorite photos online and tag the selfie museum Houston to show them a little love.

Perfect for families, couples and anyone that is looking for an insta-worthy photo spot.

TripAdvisor currently ranks the Waterwall as one of the top 15 things to do in Houston.

Song Review: Valley Palace - “Friend”

On the surface, “Friend” sounds as if Valley Palace wants to remember the buzz of 2010s’ lo-fi pop bands in earnest. It doesn’t take very long to hear how this is the next wave moving in from the currents Beach Fossils and DIIV, however, for a generation which looks entirely different than the one that preceded, and it’s anything but nostalgia. Like Bartees Strange’s genre-fusing indie rock or Enumclaw’s post-rap shoegaze, hearing a Black artist such as Nathan Taylor slip into another corner of the underground so otherwise typically white reveals sides of it few others would have thought to make work.

And it's his thing entirely. The Fresno-based former Guitar Center worker’s fret work dream-weaves a shimmer while its motorik rhythm punks up the lightness, but instead of melancholic doubts floating acrsoss its hazed air, Taylor’s deprecating bars pour through like its a sun shower beat. “I don’t show up on the guest list / It’s okay, I’m unimpressive / They don’t ever care who you want to be / Should be everyday that you’re feelin free.” Despite its outsider edge, “Friend” welcomes that energy and has you believing he won’t be stuck standing outside the doors for long.

Valley Palace’s “Friend” single is available now on Run for Cover Records.

The rise in global sea levels will reshape human civilization

New scientific insights into ‘marine ice-sheet instability’ means sea level rises will be more significant and sooner than formerly thought. We could see 10 feet of sea level rise by 2100.

Meehan Crist reviews ‘The Water Will Come’ by Jeff Goodell

Global sea level rise is hard for scientists to predict, but the trend is clear. Massive ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic have begun to collapse, in a phenomenon known as ‘marine ice-sheet instability’, which previous models of global sea level rise didn’t take into account. When the Paris Agreement was drafted just over two years ago, it was based on reports that ice sheets would remain stable and on the assumption that sea levels could rise by up to three feet two inches by the end of the century. In 2015, Nasa estimated a minimum of three feet. In 2017, a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), the pre-eminent climate science agency in the United States, revised estimates up dramatically, stating that by 2100 sea levels could rise by more than eight feet. Last year, a study estimated that if carbon emissions continue at present levels, by 2100 sea levels will have risen by as much as 11 feet. Higher sea levels mean higher storm surges, like the nine-foot surge that inundated Lower Manhattan and severely affected neighbourhoods in Long Island and New Jersey, but also that low-lying coastal areas, from Bangladesh to Amsterdam, will be underwater in less than a hundred years. It’s worth remembering that two-thirds of the world’s cities sit on coastlines. In a high-emissions scenario, average high tides in New York could be higher than the levels seen during Sandy. A rise in global sea levels of 11 feet would fully submerge cities like Mumbai and a large part of Bangladesh. The question is no longer if – but how high, and how fast.

Jeff Goodell, who has been reporting on climate change for years (his previous books include How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate and Big Coal: The Dirty Secret behind America’s Energy Future), was also in Lower Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy, and the experience so spooked him that he spent the next four years trying to understand how coastal communities will face the inevitable rise in sea levels. Goodell travels from Norfolk, Virginia to the waterparks of Rotterdam, talking to scientists, politicians, architects, artists, refugees and people living at the waterline, where regular flooding is already a fact of life. He wades barefoot through the polluted waters that flood Miami Beach during king tides, visits a family living in the ‘blackwater slum’ of Makoko, just outside Lagos, and interviews Barack Obama during his historic trip to Alaska. The book skips along with the brisk pace of magazine journalism – some of the chapters first appeared in a different form in publications such as Rolling Stone – and Goodell finds people with visionary plans, dubious schemes and heads planted deep in shifting sands. Most of the time, he is an observer rather than a polemicist, but his profound concern resonates throughout, as when he asks Obama: ‘How do you gauge how much truth America can take? Because you know what’s coming.’ This is a soggy, saturated book. Everywhere Goodell goes, the water is rising. ‘For anyone living in Miami Beach or South Brooklyn or Boston’s Back Bay or any other low-lying coastal neighbourhood,’ he writes, ‘the difference between three feet of sea level rise by 2100 and six feet is the difference between a wet but liveable city and a submerged city … The difference between three feet and six feet is the difference between a manageable coastal crisis and a decades-long refugee disaster.’

This isn’t the first time in human history that global sea levels have risen dramatically in a short period of time. Archaeological evidence shows that when glaciers melted and sea levels rose at the end of the first Ice Age, humans living along coastlines packed up their communities and moved inland. But today’s coastal infrastructure is far less mobile. ‘There’s a terrible irony in the fact that it’s the very infrastructure of the Fossil Fuel Age – the housing and office developments on the coasts, the roads, the railroads, the tunnels, the airports – that makes us most vulnerable,’ Goodell writes. Major airports such as JFK and San Francisco International are likely to be underwater within a hundred years. The eastern coast of the UK will be altered for ever. Florida’s Turkey Point nuclear reactor, which sits perched on an exposed island in Biscayne Bay, is a disaster waiting to happen. Trillions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure and entire coastal economies have been built on land that will soon be flooded, and that’s without taking into account the road erosion, beach erosion and coming property collapse along coastlines, which could trigger economic plunges deeper than the Great Recession. Today, more than 145 million people around the world live three feet or less above sea level, many in poor countries in the global South. ‘As the waters rise,’ Goodell writes, ‘millions of these people will be displaced, many of them in poor countries, creating generations of climate refugees that will make today’s Syrian war refugee crisis look like a high school drama production.’ There is no longer any doubt that the rise in global sea levels will reshape human civilisation.

The world is not ready for hundreds of millions of climate refugees.

Ammonite Review: Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan Romance Lacks Heat

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

From the beginning, Ammonite wants audiences to know that the work of paleontologist Mary Anning is out of fashion. Mary, played by a particularly stoic Kate Winslet, says this repeatedly to other characters, and displays an almost aggressive wariness toward any tourist who hints at an interest in her career. The film similarly revels in the daily monotony of her life, which appears to consist of digging through rocks no one else gives a second glance, a lonely figure on a gray beach.

Presumably writer-director Francis Lee wishes to underscore the solitude of Anning’s work; yet it’s not clear if the filmmaker is aware that this is by far the most compelling aspect of the movie. The real-life Mary Anning was a pioneer in the burgeoning field of paleontology in the 19th century: a woman who made significant scientific advancements in our understanding of Jurassic marine life. Below the cliffs of Dorset and along the English Channel, she discovered fossils that identified the ichthyosaur and informed our understanding of the plesiosaur.

Those achievements are mentioned in passing in Ammonite—early life successes that made her a brief celebrity before her gender and location led to her being forgotten. It’s a shame though that the movie seems to agree with this self-loathing assessment, treating these elements as mere background. The film’s kenner interest lies in showing a withdrawn woman finally finding freedom, and even love, from the unlikely acquaintance of Charlotte Murchison (Saoirse Ronan), the much younger wife of a wealthy patron. And on paper that should be fine… if the movie wasn’t just as cold as its landscapes.

The reason for the pair’s meeting is actually the result of Charlotte’s husband Roderick Murchison (James McArdle), a dithering and overbearing snob who cannot possibly comprehend why his wife has succumbed to melancholia. He’s arrived in Dorset to ostensibly learn from the once legendary Mary Anning. In truth, however, he wants to foist his sad bride on Mary (for a fee) while he takes off for the continent.

Mary is skeptical about the arrangement but she needs the money, and maybe it would be good to have an assistant? Not that Charlotte is much help, with the younger woman’s health quickly deteriorating. Yet as Mary comes to nurse her unwanted ward, taking on an almost spouse-like role in Charlotte’s health, she and Charlotte find an unlikely kinship, and perhaps other spousal duties.

Filmed with hovering intimacy by Lee, the film tracks their burgeoning love story through excessive handheld photography. When used during scenes of Mary, and later Charlotte, on the Dorset shore dragging fossils from the seabed, this can be quite evocative. But on the whole, the approach is overly staid, with Lee’s script and drab mise en scène relying heavily on inference.

Thus Ammonite becomes as dreary as how the film chooses to interpret Mary’s work. Which is unfortunate since both Winslet and Ronan do unflinching, fearless work here. Searching for a romantic authenticity that the rest of the film lacks, Winslet and Ronan commit to portraits of silent regret and lifetimes of experiences they decided to leave unspoken.

Yet together the chemistry between Winslet and Ronan never sparks. To be sure there are several seemingly mandatory sex scenes with their obligatory nudity, but right down to the way the scenes are written and edited, with tasteful cutaways to burning candles and morning light, the impact feels more packaged for an awards season campaign than the telling of a whirlwind romance.

It is somewhat unfair to compare Ammonite to last year’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire—the sumptuous French film by Céline Sciamma about two lovers on the other side of the Channel—simply because they’re both lesbian love stories. There is room for countless LGBTQ+ romances in every period setting, just as there’s room for all other tales of liaisons and seaside rendezvous. But these films can still be compared purely as love stories. And while Portrait of Lady on Fire is also a quiet, almost silent film for large swaths of its running time, the passion in its exquisite frames is hot to the touch.

By contrast, Winslet and her film have more heat when it’s just her and the rocks.

Ammonite opens on Friday, Nov. 13 in select theaters.

I just finished editing together Issue 17! To finish out the year I put together this colossal issue featuring more artists than I think I've ever been able to pack into a magazine! I've been working on this issue in each of the cities I've traveled to for work in the past three months (New York, Toronto, Providence, San Francisco, and Los Angeles) and there are traces of every location strung through out it! I'm so excited with all of the amazing artists I had the opportunity to work with on this one. The theme for this issue felt really relevant when I started working on it just after I decided to leave my full time job at VICE. But I'm glad to have more exciting prospects for the future now three months later, and I'm glad to have this issue off of my chest.
