Neutrals — New Town Dream (Slumberland/Static Shock)

Photo by Kelly Sullivan

Neutrals are a San Francisco-based band but you wouldn’t know it by listening. The singer, Allan McNaughton, has a knotty Scottish burr, even now, years on from relocating to the Bay Area. Musically, he and his bandmates — Lauren Matsui on bass and Phillip Lantz on drums — favors a kicky, catchy, bash-and-pop variety of post-punk that has more than a whiff of the Television Personalities in it.

New Town Dream is a bit of a concept album, referring in multiple places to the Pollok Free State protests of the early 1990s, where residents banded together to stop the construction of a highway through their beloved park in the suburbs of Glasgow. For two years, people lived in makeshift shelters in the park, cooking communally, making music and developing strong bonds with one another.  Some even took up residence in the trees themselves. The protests were ultimately unsuccessful, and the highway was built.  “Stop the Bypass,” one of the disc’s most raucous tunes, includes a chant from the protests; “The Iron that Never Swung” seems related, too, mourning a golf course promised but never delivered. Sings McNaughton, “All the effort was in vain/we lost our land to eminent domain/where there should be a fairway, the council put a new motorway.”

Indeed, if there’s a running thread through New Town Dream, it’s the gap between idealism and what actually happens once money and politics and other real-world factors come into play. “New Town Dream (Version)” is an altered version of a song from the Bus Stop Nights EP in 2022. Dusted’s Jonathan singled it out, writing, “Musically the guitar tone takes on a razoring, quixotic quality, most urgently on “New Town Dream” and its 107 seconds of keening post punk. A little more dissonant and it could be a Swell Maps tune, tucked in among that run of short songs that opens A Trip to Marineville.”  Here it runs closer to Gang of Four with its melodica and dub bass, but it slips in some extended retro-futurist spoken word about planned communities. An educational voice making the case for planned communities outside of city centers, including shops, banks, homes and, critically, green space, as an antidote to what, “people rightly deplore in this country [which] could be called a yob culture.”  The kicker is, of course, that the minute city planners need that land for something else, poof, it’s gone.

Not all the songs stick to this broad topic, and indeed, a couple of the best are less didactic. “That’s Him on the Daft Stuff Again” is pure C-86-ish bliss, full of joy and melancholy in equal measure. McNaughton sings in a half-chant, a twist of melody under a rain of mordant words and very like the Television Personalities’ Dan Treacy. The resembles continues through the instruments, all a bounding bass and chiming, rainbow-splintering guitar chords and bumptious, disruptive drumming.

“Substitute Teacher,” slashes a little more sharply, its jutting, off-kilter guitar work sharing near equal billing with the growl of bass. The “s-s-substitute” stutter nods to the Who, the lyrics are closer to the Kinks’ lyrical wordplay. The kids may have written him off before he finishes writing his name on the board, but a distinct, individual person comes to life in a few lines: “He’s got a passion for mathematics/after work he’s into amateur dramatics/you may have seen him in a Death of a Salesman, you may have seen him in Pirates of Penzance/he was a triumph in the Scottish play/he’s only here for a day.”

All of which put Neutrals in the very top tier of jangling, hyper-articulate pop-punk bands, alongside Ducks Ltd., Reds, Pinks and Purples and the Infinites. There’s really nothing neutral about them.

[witchw00d-a]

even though sleepy hollow was a small community, it was a tourist trap, which meant that rent? insane. especially when there were landlords like doufee martling that could charge practically whatever they wanted with no contest. so, when anne advertised that she was looking for a roommate to share the four bedroom house she was renting downtown, she hadn't expected three roommates. but she knew the babes from high school, and she knew they were trustworthy, and soon, the house was half - tj maxx and half - frat house.

living with the three babes meant that there was rarely a dull moment. they were energizer bunnies that were always ready to party, and there were times she just came home from work and greeted them before she retreated into her bedroom to take a bath and wind down for the night. they were wild, but when they saw how tired she was on those particular days, they were respectful of that, at least.

today was one of the those days. baltus was particularly dreadful and demanding, and she had not been wearing the right shoes to do all of the running she had today, so the soreness was creeping up from her feet to the rest of her body. there was nothing more she wanted than some peace and quiet . . . which she unexpectedly got the second she turned the key and entered the home. she had seen the van in the driveway, so her brow furrowed at the sound of no thumping music or the guys talking. the boys had mentioned there being a new disc golf course at the end of the neighborhood, so she figured that was where they were. she set her bag down and stepped out of her flats before she entered deeper into the home, running a hand through her shoulder-length waves as she stepped into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of chardonnay. she took a sip and released an audible breath as the alcohol burned its way down into a warm pool in her stomach.

bare feet padded down the hallway towards her room at the end before she heard a noise from @babeno1's room. one that she didn't fully process, but the door was cracked. he was home without the others? weird . . .

she gently knocked on the door and pushed it open. " tripp? hey, it's me. i'm ho -- oh my god! " she cut herself off with a shout when she caught eye of him laying on top of the blankets of his perfectly made bed, hand pumping the shaft that was pulled out of his shorts. her brown eyes widened and she was quick to slap a hand over them, nearly sloshing the wine out of the glass in her free hand. " holy shit, i - i am . . . fuck, i am so sorry -- i just wanted to tell you i'm here, and i -- you just keep going, okay?! you're doing great over there, champ! yep! didn't see anything! definitely didn't just see your dick! " she rambled as she started to back towards the doorway, fully bumping into it and now sloshing some wine. " shit! f - fuck, i - i'll clean that up, i -- later! when you're done -- "

Hello! 🫶🏼 For the ask thingy:

what song makes you feel better?

what’s something you’re excited for?

<3

Futures by Jimmy Eat World is my song. It feels so hopeful, but there's an acknowledgement that sometimes shit sucks.

I am so, so excited for a disc golf tournament this summer! The Masters world championships are being held here, and I can't wait to go watch a bunch of my favorite players. The vibe of the disc golf community is immaculate always, but the Masters events always feel even more fun for me.

Alex on Reddit

It was brought to my attention (thank you so much! 💖) that there's a thread about Alex, in a Danish gossip community on Reddit. 😊

Some comments are positive, while others not so much, but it's definitely interesting to read his fellow Danes' perspectives on him. 😊 I'll also leave some translated comments bellow:

❝ Worked with him over a long period of time and he was super nice, approachable and down to earth. Also towards the "ordinary" children and young people in the cast. Of course, no one is perfect, so he has guaranteed something see me hear me in him as well. Think his enthusiasm and wanting to hype things up can make him seem annoying, arrogant and hurtful. But he's good 🤷🏼‍♀️ ❞

❝ I had a bit of a crush on him in Vikings. I thought he was cute when I saw him in the night shift at one point. Just tried to watch the interview you linked to. Couldn't watch it all. It was cringe enough. However, I'm also not much into Danish series and films and not that genre at all. Him and his girlfriend look so cute and she seems like someone with her feet firmly planted in the ground. Sometimes you can also talk a lot when you are passionate or when you are insecure. Maybe it just is. If he's been missing something to do, he'll probably want this series to be a success. ❞

❝ He was a Sunday guest on Go'morgen Danmark last Sunday, where he seemed very down to earth, and not particularly high-spirited. ❞ ↳ ❝ I saw it too, and think he was way too 'on'. Interrupted often with a half-assed remark, especially when they surprise him with his girlfriend. I actually like him, but I was fine with that. Think maybe he was nervous and therefore drove in overdrive. ❞ ↳ ❝ I was thinking the same. Super annoying that he kept interrupting! "Eeeee honey how annoying you are!" ❞ ↳ ❝ Precisely! And he also almost took over for him the professional disc golf player, way too much "look at me look at me" attitude, I was completely stressed by it. The best thing about that feature was Janni who couldn't hit, or she could hit everything but the target itself 😂 ❞ ↳ ❝ I saw that too, and think he was his usual (annoying) self. ❞

❝ After all, he doesn't even speak "American" but pronounces several words like "idea" in a way that tries to SOUND American but just falls through because he's trying SO hard. We have so many good actors in Denmark who speak a formidable American- or British-inspired English, but they don't try as hard as Alex, who can't get enough of the sound of his own voice. I am absolutely convinced that he thinks he speaks such wonderful Danish, English, you name it, that the world just HAS to hear more. ❞

❝ I have known him since I was a child, as our parents are good friends, and still meet him often. He is super sweet and nice and really comfortable. He never talks about his roles or anything, but rather asks how you are, etc. In any case, he is in no way self-absorbed in our company. ❞

❝ There's something about him that annoys me, but I can't quite figure out if he actually comes off as a jerk to me. Saw him in the Night Shift a few times, and there I think perhaps more that he appears as someone who really wants to be both smart in a hurry, clever, good at his work, etc. But where it falls a little through, and most of all just becomes a little annoying . I have no doubt that he is passionate about what he does, and maybe he just wants it THAT badly. ❞

❝ I have the same impression as you - he is very cocky! ❞

❝ I have met him and he was simply so nice and down to earth and he took the time to talk to us. ❞

❝ I actually like him a lot. When he was in the Vikings and right after that, I think he seemed a bit annoying. But didn't really know him as an actor and personality. Subsequently, I have seen more things with him and think he seems quite down to earth and sweet. Seriously don't think he's trying "too hard" to speak American. It's just quite natural for him after the Vikings, I think. ❞

❝ At first I think he seemed really sweet and nice, but after a while I also felt he was annoying and interrupted people. ❞

❝ I wouldn't say cocky. More like he tries a little too hard to please everyone 😆 ❞

Boosting Team Cohesion with Fun Corporate Picnic Games & Ideas!

For the last three decades, I have been producing the most socially-dynamic, interactive corporate picnics on the planet, and the one thing that always comes standard in my book is field day games for team-building fun!

There's not a single corporate picnic quote that goes out without this ONE entertainment line item because it's the staple that puts the whole event together; creating strong team bonds and connections effortlessly.

So what makes field day games THE best game ideas for corporate picnics?

Field day games compel a group of employees to cohesively work together for a common goal and of course, friendly bragging rights among peers.

Fun-Filled Corporate Picnic Games: Our Top Picks!

When we do a corporate picnic we bring enough field games for us to run the games for about 2.5 - 3 hours, this is a good amount of time for these activities without it getting repetitive or boring at your event.

This series of entertaining corporate picnic competitions improve teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and other skills by developing an atmosphere where employees can interact freely with each other.

3-Legged Race

This is one I think we all know and remember for those school field days. Participants run together with the left leg of one person strapped or tied to the right leg of another person.

Balloon Toss

Split the participants into two teams and form two straight lines with the teammates facing each other. Teams will need to be an even amount of players for this activity to work. A player on one side must toss their balloon to their teammate on the other side without breaking it. If the balloon breaks the two players must step out of the game and leave the remaining people. This is repeated until there is only a pair of participants left.

Frisbee Golf

Frisbee golf, also known as disc golf, is a recreational sport that combines elements of traditional golf with the concept of throwing a flying disc (frisbee) into a series of targets, typically metal baskets with hanging chains, in as few throws as possible. For your corporate picnic field games, you really only need two of these targets depending on the number of teams you have. The players on each team take turns throwing their discs toward the target. If they miss, they're out. The team with the most players to hit the target at the end of the set wins the competition.

Hula Hoop Contest

A hula hoop contest is a fun and entertaining game where employees compete to see who can hula hoop the longest without dropping their hoop. You can either decide on a time frame, 1 or 2 minutes or play to the death, to see who can go the longest without a time frame. The participants that lose control and drop their hoops must step out of the game leaving only the ones who are still going. The last remaining hooper wins. If it's a timed game, you can keep repeating until the last hooper is standing.

Horseshoe Toss

Horseshoe toss, also known as horseshoe pitching, is a field game that involves players taking turns trying to throw horseshoes around a stake in the ground. Points are scored based on the closeness of the horseshoe to the stake. The team player with the horseshoe closest to the stake (or with ringers) scores points for that round. The first team to reach the predetermined point goal (e.g., 21) is declared the winner.

Football Toss

Football toss is a field day game where participants throw a football at a target to score points. Participants will aim to throw the football through a target, like a hole in a board, to score points. The team that scores the most points wins the challenge.

Potato Sack Races

In this game, participants hop inside large, durable sacks (often resembling potato sacks) and compete by racing against each other to reach a designated finish line. Participants must remain inside their sacks at all times during the race. For team building, the race will be done in multiple rounds, with winners from each round advancing to a final round or championship race.

Ring Toss

Ring toss is a classic picnic game where players attempt to toss rings onto a target in an effort to encircle an object with the rings. Ring toss is a game of skill and accuracy and will require your employees and their staff to work together on their technique, spacial distance, and aim.

Relay Races

Picnic relay races are a fun and engaging way to add some excitement and physical activity to your picnic or outdoor gathering. They involve teams or individuals competing against each other in a series of relay-style challenges. These races can be adapted with different elements to make it more fun and exciting.

Sharp Shooter

Split the participants into two teams and form two straight lines with the teammates facing each other. One side will be given water guns and the other side a target of some sort to stop the water. The side with the target will also be given a bucket beneath them in order to redirect the water being shot at them into the bucket to fill it first. The players to fill their bucket to the line wins the challenge.

Magic Carpet Ride

A magic carpet ride refers to the fantastical experience of gliding on a potato sack or tarp across the field on a magical carpet. Participants line up at the starting line with their partners on the magic carpet. When the whistle blows, the race begins and the participants must do their best to give their teammates a magic carpet ride to the other side of the field without them falling off. If your teammate falls off, you're out. The game is repeated til there is only one set of team players remaining.

Tug-O-War

Tug of war is a test of physical strength and requires teamwork, strategy, and coordination among team members. Divide the players into two teams if you haven't already. Each team holds a specific end of the rope. The players usually stand side by side, with their feet braced and their bodies leaning back, using their combined strength to pull the rope. The team that successfully pulls the other team across the center line wins. Tug of War can be played in multiple rounds or as part of a larger team-building competition.

Get Your Game On: Leading the Fun at the Corporate Picnic

The most important thing you can do for your corporate picnic games is get the right game leader! A game leader that can engage and entertain a crowd is pure gold to your event entertainment because they increase participation and create a positive, memorable experience out of what would have just normally been outdoor field day games.

Anyone can grab a list of games and supplies off the internet and bring them to a corporate picnic and hope to have a fun-filled day of team bonding. It's really not that simple. You need an icebreaker. You need a comedic, spontaneous person to bring the games to life in order to develop the right atmosphere for the employees and their guests to feel comfortable joining in and letting go of their reservations.

The games at a corporate picnic should be exciting and fun for the participants and the spectators.

Rock Your Corporate Picnic with Audio & Stage Support!

Audio Support

The game leader is going to need to be loud in order to grab the attention of not just the participants but also the spectators (because you want to engage the entire crowd at the picnic, not just those playing the games).

There's the option to use a wireless mic and speaker set up OR for super small picnics, you could use a megaphone like a coach on the sidelines.

Presentation Stage

A small, mini-stage rental can add so much value to your corporate games because it allows you to have a place where the game leader can be above the crowd to give game instructions and do other announcements, and be seen in clear view.

Corporate Picnic Game Prizes: Rewarding Fun and Teamwork

One MEGA HUGE incentive to get a crowd to participate in the corporate picnic games is when you see there are prizes to be had.

Whenever I do a corporate picnic game package, I always include small prizes and a prize redemption table in clear view of the crowd. These small prizes (or big if you choose) will be of major value to the people at the picnic.

Friendly local librarian here with the answer to some FAQs as well as some fun library facts! :D

Q. How much does it cost to get a library card?

A. The answer to this depends on where you live and your age. 

Most public libraries in North America* are free, although the ones in smaller communities may charge a small fee to cover the cost of the card and welcome package (back in the early aughts when my local library charged a fee it was $12 a year). That being said, if you cannot afford the fee, I can guarantee that they will waive it for you. 

Also, its worth noting that regardless of how much it may cost an adult, I have never ever ever heard of a public library that charges for children’s and teens’ library cards.

Q. What kinds of things can I check out at the library?

A. This will vary wildly from library system to library system and even from branch to branch, but here are some of the things libraries around the world lend out to their patrons:

Newspapers

Magazines

DVDs

CDs

Video games

Pedometers

Fishing tackle

Dogs

Power tools

Clothing for the homeless

Mobile wi-fi hotspots

Bikes

Seeds

Fishing poles

Museum passes

Musical instruments

Green screens

Hobby supplies

Garden plots

Prom dresses

Local music streaming

Camping and hiking kits

Movie streaming services

Online magazine, comic book, and newspaper services

Book club kits

Sports equipment

Crayons

Ukranian egg decorating kits

Analog/tabletop games

Santa suits

Video game consoles

Laptops

iPads

eReaders

Umbrellas

Karaoke machines

Snowshoes

Room for wedding receptions

Knitting needles

Animal skeletons

Sewing patterns and kits

Electricity usage monitors

Cider mills

Car ramps

Detailed models of the human brain

Portable disc golf baskets

Q. I have mobility issues getting to the library. Does that mean I can’t use it then?

A. Absolutely not! 

For starters, most libraries have free online resources you can log into using your library card info. Most libraries also have a delivery program for people who are housebound or have mobility issues of any kind. Some libraries even have special programs especially for housebound people, such as book clubs that meet via Google Chat or Skype instead of in person (and if yours doesn’t, why not suggest they start one?) 

Libraries for sparsely populated areas usually have some sort of program where they can mail stuff to you so you don’t have to go all the way to wherever they are... and in some places the library will just come to you! See if your library has a bookmobile schedule to pass by your area! :)

* I can’t speak for libraries elsewhere but I’d imagine this likely applies to them too.

Suite au communiqué de la Commune de Val-de-Travers, un appel à idées est lancé pour transformer la bande herbeuse située au nord du terrain de football de l’espaceVAL. Ce vaste espace, autrefois partagé avec l’ECAP, est désormais libre d’utilisation. Le Conseil communal souhaite aujourd’hui mener une réflexion globale à long terme afin de créer un espace convivial et fonctionnel qui réponde aux besoins de la population locale et des clubs sportifs. L’idée est simple : recueillir des propositions réalistes et financièrement viables qui s’intègrent harmonieusement à l’environnement existant. Cet appel s’adresse autant aux clubs sportifs qu’aux citoyens afin de concevoir ensemble des aménagements qui enrichiront la vie sociale et sportive de la commune. Surfaces disponibles Deux zones ont été identifiées pour le développement de ce projet : Le Grand rectangle : d’une surface d’environ 1'500 m² (80m de long x 20m de large). Le Petit rectangle : d’environ 200 m² (25m de long x 8m de large). Ces espaces offrent une opportunité unique d’apporter une plus-value à l’ensemble de la communauté, que ce soit à travers des infrastructures sportives, des espaces de détente ou des installations récréatives.

Unlocking the Value: Creative Ways to Use Undeveloped Land in San Antonio

Unlocking the potential of undeveloped land in San Antonio is a venture that transcends the mere act of ownership. It’s an exploration into the realm of possibilities, an imaginative journey where creativity meets real estate, generating revenue in the process. In this expansive landscape, the canvas is blank, and the potential is boundless.

Let’s delve into the creative ways one can unlock the value of undeveloped land in San Antonio, where innovation transforms raw estate into thriving spaces.

Reimagining Vacant Land: Unleashing the Potential

Undeveloped land often lies dormant, waiting to be activated and transformed into something more meaningful. By embracing creative approaches, you can unlock the value of these vacant spaces, fostering sustainable development, enhancing community well-being, and most importantly, investing to make the most of the land.

1. Urban Agriculture For Profit or Self-Reliance

Undeveloped land presents an ideal canvas for urban agriculture, a sustainable practice that brings fresh, locally-grown produce to urban communities. By establishing community gardens, rooftop farms, and vertical farming systems, you can revitalize vacant spaces while either generating a profit or promoting self-reliance.

2. Using the Land as a Recreational Facility

Amidst the bustling cityscape, undeveloped land can be transformed into a tranquil recreational facility. You can utilize the land to serve as a private sports facility that can earn you a decent profit. For instance, a small soccer field in San Antonio could be rented out for $100 per hour (source). If the field is rented out for 20 hours per week, it can generate $2,000 per month.

You can also use your property as a park which can earn you good revenue in the long term (if your property is big enough). When using your property as a park, you can charge people lot rent and utility fees. Another creative recreational use for a property that is big enough is to repurpose it as a disc golf course. 

3. Wellness Retreats

Undeveloped land offers the canvas for creating havens of rejuvenation. Wellness resorts, spas, and yoga retreats can be designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings, providing spaces for relaxation, mindfulness, and holistic well-being. These retreats or resorts are also a great way to generate great profit off of your property that might otherwise be lying vacant.

4. Camping Ground

Using your property as a campground in San Antonio can be a viable way to make money. The San Antonio area boasts a thriving tourism industry, attracting millions of visitors each year. With its warm climate, diverse attractions, and proximity to natural beauty, San Antonio offers a perfect setting for a successful campground.

5. Farm

The San Antonio region boasts diverse agricultural opportunities, with favorable climate and soil conditions suitable for various crops and livestock. Whether you’re considering a small backyard garden or a larger, multi-acre operation, understanding the specific possibilities and challenges is crucial. Moreover, estimating potential revenue depends heavily on farm size, chosen crops/livestock, and marketing strategies.

The Impact of Creative Land Use

Urban agriculture has the potential to generate over $1 billion in economic output and create thousands of jobs in San Antonio.

Parks and recreational facilities can potentially increase property values by up to 20%.

The global sports facilities market is expected to reach $ 153.0 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9%.

The camping industry generates over $ 167 billion annually in the U.S. and supports 1.4 million jobs (Source).

Farms contribute to local food security and provide access to fresh, healthy produce (Source).

Conclusion

As San Antonio continues to grow and evolve, the creative utilization of undeveloped land presents a pivotal opportunity to shape the city’s future. By embracing innovative approaches that promote sustainability, community well-being, and economic growth, we can transform vacant spaces into vibrant hubs of activity, enhancing the city’s livability, resilience, and overall character.
