KCRW presents Elbow, South and Mellowdrone at the Troubadour

[random-imagines-blog]

Imagine Jonathan comforting you after you accidentally found the Upside Down.

You could faintly hear the sound of his voice calling your name. That’s what you were holding onto in that moment. When everything around you was darkness, shadows overlapping shadows, the smell of rot and mold in the air, a strange wet feeling to it making you break out in cold sweats - Jonathan’s voice was like a guiding light to you. You wanted to call back. Wanted him to find you - but didn’t want to call the attention of anything else that was in here. You could see movements out of the corner of your eye but everytime you turned your head, there appeared to be nothing there. You knew better. This was a bad place. There were bad things hiding.

“Y/N,” You heard, but it sounded like it was quieter than before. He was getting further away from you. He’d never find you at this rate. So you had no choice but to buckle up and find him. Find the way that you had come in and try to escape that way. So you ran, your feet slipping against all of the slimy branches on the ground, beating out an uneven rhythm until you could hear his voice a little more clearly. The tree. The opening. It was closing. You dove, landing roughly on your stomach.

The change of air was the first thing that you felt. No longer as stale. It smelled of fresh foliage and dirt. The second thing was someone grabbing your arms. You tried to fight until Jonathan’s voice came through again, this time clear. You fell limp as he pulled you the rest of the way through and then held you, hand cradling your head. “I got you - I got you," he reassured you, out of breath.

“I know, I know,” You said into his shirt. You were covered in a stickiness. Sap of some kind, but it felt like blood. It felt like the tree had just given birth to you somehow. “But can we - maybe not stick around? Whatever was in there - it could follow.”

“Yeah,” Jonathan agreed, his dark eyes settling on what he had just pulled you out of. It looked like a regular tree again. Just a run of the mill, creepy Fangorn Forest tree in Hawkins. “Come on, my car’s not far.”

He kept holding onto you as he walked you towards his car. You thought for a second that he might have been stuck because of all of the sap but he wasn’t. He wanted to hold you. He needed to do it as much as he wanted to be held.

Once you got there, you took a rest, leaning against the door of his beat up junker. You didn’t get in right away. Just breathed in the fresh air. “It was horrible in there, Jonathan,” You admitted. “And - oh fuck, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that I got scared. I - I could have, I should have gone looking for Will when I was in there but I-”

“No, hey,” He said, wrapping his arms around you again, bringing you in for a hug. He kept doing so. It was the only way that he knew you were okay. “- don’t think like that. We’ll find another way in. The both of us. I wouldn’t want you to do it alone.”

You sighed in relief of that. You were scared he would get angry that you didn’t take the chance. But it made sense. He didn’t even have to see the Upside Down and yet he could see how much it affected you. “Thanks, Jonathan. But hopefully you never have to see that place. Hopefully no one has to ever again once Will gets out. It’s truly horrible.”

“I get it,” He said, nodding, and kissed your forehead. “Will’s strong. We’ll find him.”

Lyrics :

I wish I was a fisherman (verse 1)

Tumblin' on the seas

Far away from dry land

And it's bitter memories

Sending you my sweet light

With abandonment and love

No ceiling bearin' down on me

Save the starry sky above

With light in my head .     (Chorus)

With you in my arms

Oh Oh Oh

Heh Heh heh

I wish I was a brakeman (Verse 2)

On a hurtling diesel train

Crashin head long thru the heartland

Like a cannon in the rain

With the beating of the sleepers

And the burning of the coal

towns flashin by

In a night that's full of soul

(Chorus)

I know I will be loosened (verse 3)

From the bonds that hold me fast

And the chains all around me

Will fall away at last

And on that grand and fateful day

I will take thee in my hand

I will ride on a train

I will be the fisherman

(Chorus)

LYRICS : "Sail Away"

Sail away with me, honey     (Chorus)

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now, now, now

Crazy skies all wild above me now

Winter howling at my face

And everything I held so dear

Disappeared without a trace

Of all the times I've tasted love

Never knew quite what I had

Little darling, if you hear me now

Never needed you so bad

Spinning 'round inside my head

Sail away with me, honey   (Chorus)

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now, now, now

I've been talking drunken gibberish

Falling in and out of bars

Trying to get some explanation here

For the way some people are

How did it ever come so far?

Sail away with me, honey    (Chorus)

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me, honey, now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now, now, now

Sail away with me, honey   (Chorus)

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me, honey, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now, now, now

Sail away with me, honey   (Chorus)

I put my heart in your hands

Your break me up if you pull me down

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now, now, now

IBM Announces Major IoT Ecosystem Drive with New Clients & Partners Collocating at its Global Watson IoT Headquarters

Cognitive Collaboratories with Avnet, BNP Paribas, Capgemini and Tech Mahindra help IBM partners drive hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue from the Internet of Things

IBM Breathes Life into Connected Home and Vehicles with New Innovation Space for IoT Standards Organization EEBus

ARMONK, New York and MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) has announced a major ecosystem initiative to drive collaborative innovation with dozens of clients and partners as it opens the doors of its new $200M global headquarters for its Watson Internet of Things (IoT) business in Munich, Germany. In the first ever cognitive collaboratories, Avnet, BNP Paribas, Capgemini and Tech Mahindra will collocate development teams at the IBM center which will also act as an innovation space for the European IoT standards organization EEBus.

Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unI0-OEjb0o&feature=youtu.be  

"We have reached a tipping point with IoT innovation: we now have over 6,000 clients and partners around the world many of who are now wanting to join us in our new global Watson IoT center to co-innovate," said Harriet Green, General Manager, IBM Watson IoT, Cognitive Engagement and Education. "Together we are building a new global IoT innovation ecosystem that will explore how cognitive and IoT technologies will transform industries and our daily lives."

Late last year IBM announced that car maker BMW will collocate part of its research and development operations at IBM's new Watson IoT center to help reimagine the driving experience. Now, IBM is announcing four more companies that have signed up to join its special industry "collaboratories" where clients and partners work together with IBM's 1,000 Munich-based IoT experts to tap into the latest design thinking and push the boundaries of what is possible with IoT:

Avnet -- New Joint IoT Lab IT distributor and global IBM partner Avnet will open a new joint IoT Lab within IBM's Watson IoT HQ to develop, build, demonstrate and sell IoT solutions powered by IBM Watson. Working closely with IBM's leading technologists and IoT experts, Avnet also plans to enhance its IoT technical expertise through hands-on training and on-the-job learning. Avnet's team of IoT and analytics experts will also partner with IBM on joint business development opportunities across multiple industries including smart buildings, smart homes, industry, transportation, medical and consumer.

"There is no limit to how IOT can be used to improve the world. We're already seeing tremendous potential in the new IOT applications that we're developing with our customers, which range from protecting our children to preventing Legionnaires' disease," said Eric Williams, global vice president of IOT, Avnet. "Avnet's latest collaboration with IBM will accelerate our ability to provide customers with the foundation they need to rapidly develop marketable IOT solutions."

BNP Paribas -- Driving Watson IoT-based Innovation for the Banking Industry "BNP Paribas, via Consorsbank, its retail digital bank in Germany, is very happy to partner with IBM´s new Watson IoT Center", said Kai Friedrich, CEO of the Consorsbank business. "We will collocate a team of solution architects, developers and business development personnel at IBM's Watson IoT Center. Together with IBM's experts, they will explore how IoT and cognitive technologies can drive transformation in the banking industry and help innovate new financial products and services such as investment advice."

Capgemini -- Helping Clients like Faurecia Drive Digital Transformation  Global IT consulting and technology services provider Capgemini will collocate a team of cognitive IoT experts at IBM's Watson IoT center. Together they will help customers maximize the potential of Industry 4.0 and develop and take to market sector-specific cognitive IoT solutions. Capgemini plans a close link between its Munich Applied Innovation Exchange and IBM's new Customer Experience zones to collaborate with clients in an interactive environment.

"We decided to collocate Capgemini's technical and business development experts alongside IBM's in order to forge an even deeper relationship between two companies that will accelerate the digital transformation of our clients. Our people and clients will have full access to IBM's technologies, experts and resources, thereby significantly shortening the time to market," said Fernando Alvarez, Corporate Vice President and Global Head of Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships.

One company already benefitting from this close collaboration is Faurecia – one of the world's largest international automotive parts manufacturers which has adopted new joint predictive maintenance solutions from IBM and Capgemini in order to increase the efficiency and reliability of its manufacturing operations.

Tech Mahindra -- Eyes substantial new revenue from IBM Watson IoT platform Indian multinational provider of enterprise and communications IT and networking technology Tech Mahindra, is one of IBM's Global System Integrators with over 3,000 specialists focussed on IBM technology around the world. The company will locate a team of 6 developers and engineers within the Watson IoT HQ to help deliver on Tech Mahindra's vision of generating substantial new revenue based on IBM's Watson IoT platform. Tech Mahindra will use the center to co-create and showcase new solutions based on IBM's Watson IoT platform especially for Industry 4.0 and Manufacturing, Precision Farming, Healthcare, Insurance and Banking and automotive.

"IBM is a key partner for our IoT strategy. By collocating in IBM's Watson IoT Center, we will not only co-create new solutions and services, but will ensure our proximity to key European clients especially around Industry 4.0 and Manufacturing," said Vikram Nair, President Tech Mahindra EMEA.

Breathing Life into the Connected Home and Vehicles with EEBus IBM has announced that as part of its new membership to EEBus (Europe's leading IoT alliance initiated by the German Government) it will provide the organization with an Innovation Space within its new Watson IoT Center. This space will be used to imagine, build and showcase solutions that combine IoT technologies and open standards. The EEBus Initiative has over 60 members who are leading stakeholders in the Connected Home including Bosch, ABB, SMA, Miele, Schneider and Vaillant as well as the major European automotive brands. Members of the EEBus Initiative collaborate in various working groups to establish a standardized and common language for the interoperability of connected devices. Smart Heating, electrical vehicles, photovoltaic systems and other appliances can thus communicate seamlessly about energy management and usability.

"Joining the innovation space within IBM's Watson IoT-Center gives the EEBus Initiative the ability to accelerate the development of its global cross-industry network and enlarge its reach," said Peter Kellendonk, 1st Chairman of the non-profit organisation. "We are convinced, that the smart use of energy will be one of the major use cases in the future development of the IoT."

About IBM Watson IoT: Across the globe, IBM is working with more than 6,000 clients across industries to help them truly realize the benefits of the IoT.  Many of these IoT innovations are on display at IBM's Watson IoT headquarters in Munich, Germany, where today, IBM and customers, partners and influencers are gathering for the first ever Genius of Things Summit. At the summit, attendees will hear from Watson IoT clients who are implementing innovative IoT solutions to drive exceptional outcomes.

Imagine Jonathan Byers writing a drunken love letter to you, and forgetting he sent it.

The handwriting was really rough to get through, you had to admit. Chicken scratch. You could barely make out most of it, but what you could make out was enough to make your heart beat faster.

‘- the real world sucks but you make it not so bad sometimes --- I’m shit at saying what I’m thinking so I’m saying it now ------ I love you.’

There were plenty of things in between but those were the most clear. You had read it over a hundred times. Jonathan fucking Byers. You were friends, but you wouldn’t say that you were all that close. You had a part time job working with Joyce at the store so you were like a family friend, despite being around Jonathan’s age. Finding this letter in your mailbox before school had been a complete surprise. Even more so because somehow the mailman had been able to read the address.

On the way to school you debated what to do. Should you go up to him and ask about the letter or pretend that it had just never been delivered and it got lost in the post office somewhere - it was known to happen. You hadn’t fully made up your mind until the second that you saw him walking down the hallway, head down, bag slung over his shoulder, heading to the darkroom to process some pictures, probably. That’s all he ever seemed to do. “Jonathan, wait up,” You said, your sneakers squeaking against the floor as you struggled to catch up with his long legs. He paused to wait for you and then would resume walking again, looking at you from beneath those long bangs. “I got your letter this morning.”

“My letter?” He asked, eyebrows shooting up. Seemed as much a surprise to him as it had been to you. You brought it out of your bag and showed it to him, envelope and all. He snatched it out of your hands and read it, his face, his neck, all of it turning red as he went through it. “Oh. Shit. I - I wrote this when I was drunk.” He looked so horrified, it was almost a little insulting.

“So does that mean that you didn’t mean any of it?” You asked, staring up at him. “That I should just forget that this is the nicest, sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me - because you were drunk?”

He looked at a loss for words, avoiding your eyes, just holding onto the letter, his lips pursed into a straight line. Finally he said, “Don’t forget it.”

That was the right answer. That’s the answer that you wanted to hear. “Good, I won’t then,” You said, taking the letter back from his hands. You leaned against his arm, propping yourself up to kiss the loner-boy on his very red cheek. “Do you want to talk about it over dinner at my place tonight? The ‘rents are working late.”

“Yeah, sure, okay,” He said quickly.

“Great, come over whenever,” You said, giving his arm a squeeze and then departed to go down a different hallway to your next class, leaving the Byers boy looking as red as a bottle of tomato juice. He noticed a couple of curious looks and then kept on walking, head low, hair in face, trying to hide the grin.
