- Super-fast broadband could be delivered via the underground pipes of the UK's water and electricity companies, regulator Ofcom has said.
It is conducting a survey of the UK's ducting network to see its suitability for carrying fibre networks.
Some companies in the UK and France already offer fast broadband via the sewers.
Ofcom also wants to see the three million homes earmarked to be built in the UK by 2020, fibre-enabled.
It has opened a consultation - which will run until June 25 - to see how best to regulate next-generation networks.
Critics have warned that the regulator is not doing enough and that the UK is in real danger of falling behind with the rollout of superfast broadband access.
"The fact that this is just a consultation is another indication that the UK is lagging behind," said Ian Fogg, an analyst with Jupiter Research.
In France, for example, there are already three operators providing superfast broadband to homes at speeds of between 50 and 100 megabits per second. One of these offers an IPTV service and Voice-over IP telephone line alongside its fibre service, for 29.99 euros per month.
In a speech delivered to the Institution of Engineering and Technology, Ofcom...

2016 was not all bad: In fact there were some major wins for the wild animals all across the world, ranging from community action to major legislative changes. Hopefully these successes cement the foundation upon which the salvation of the natural world can continue to grow.
Considering the fact that humans have wiped out the number of animal species by 60% in only four decades, it’s a major success that any animal would leave the endangered species *not* by way of extinction. The giant panda being one of these species is even more amazing, considering their slow ability to adapt. This is a great example of how aggressive conservation can lead to a species rebounding in numbers, and why protecting wild animals is necessary for continued biodiversity on our shared planet.
The Belize Barrier Reef was saved.
For a few terrifying days, the Government of Belize was doing seismic oil testing along the UNESCO Heritage site of the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest coral reef system on the planet. Fortunately, the citizens of Belize rose up and protested this pre-emptive oil drilling action, effectively stopping it. In doing so they saved the ecosystem and the lives of all the marine creatures that call the reef home (not to mention the 190,000 Belizeans who rely on the beautiful area for work). Dolphins, manatees, sharks, crocodiles, and hundreds of species of fish and invertebrate species were spared.
Tigers were hunted so close to the brink of extinction that it was truly believed they would never recover. However, the World Wildlife Fund reported that this was the first time in over a century that wild tiger numbers increased, thanks to conservation efforts in India, Nepal, and Russia. If those successful efforts were replicated in other countries where tigers continue to decline in numbers, such as Indonesia where habitat destruction is rampant, it’s no doubt that the big cats would see a resurgence of even greater proportions.
The United States has never had a national mammal before, but as of 2016 the iconic bison earned its spot as an icon of America with the passing of the National Bison Legacy Act. Bison (also called buffalo) represent the first successful attempt at wildlife conservation after the species, once bountiful in this land, was quickly hunted into the dozens as a result of manifest destiny. They represent not only the resilience that Americans yearn to have, but serve as a warning of the dangers that come with unchecked colonization.
California voters keep a ban on plastic bags.
Plastic bags, which take decades to degrade, are a significant cause of death for marine animals, as they look like edible jellyfish. California voters said yes on Proposition 67, reaffirming their decision to outlaw the pesky plastic bags. Cities and counties like San Francisco had previously done away with plastic bags, but this legislation ensures that the entire state will remain a leader in protecting the environment from superfluous use of plastic products.
Feathers are an important part of indigenous ceremonial wear, which is why the decision for Bolivia’s indigenous groups to switch from critically endangered blue-throated macaw feathers to identical but fake feathers is such a landmark move. Through education and collaborative conservation with indigenous groups, over 6,000 birds were spared untimely deaths to have their feathers harvested since 2010.
President Obama legislates against wildlife trafficking.
Another success from the Obama administration this year was the establishment of the world’s largest marine reserve, maintaining the habitats of many marine species for generations to come. Habitat destruction is one of the primary reasons species experience decline, so by ensuring the survival of the ecosystem, President Obama has supported the chances for all the animals that call Hawaii home.
As an island, Tasmania is home to some of the most unique, endemic species on the planet. This includes the now extinct Tasmanian Tiger, or thylacine, which continues to capture the imagination of naturalists worldwide. The Tasmanian Devil was starting to head the tiger’s direction after being plagued by an infectious cancer. But 2016 couldn’t kill everybody we love, for the devil, as per its namesake, is fighting back, and they are declining more slowly as a result of this disease.
The heavily-armored pangolin is the world’s most trafficked animal, probably because it is smaller and less-recognizable than other illegally-traded species, like tigers and elephants. Most people can’t picture a pangolin, and now, thanks to this international agreement to protect the species from being trafficked, hopefully no one will see one in person without visiting their native habitat.
The world’s largest biomass of sharks is just off the Galapagos Islands (where Charles Darwin performed the research for his theory of natural selection) and this year Ecuador created a 15,000 square mile marine reserve to ensure that it stays a place for these creatures to call home. 97% of the landmass in the Galapagos is already protected, so it was time to protect the surrounding waters as well. Hopefully the efforts undertaken by the US and Ecuador to protect marine ecosystems will become a trend next year.
The Singapore Alliance on Sustainable Palm Oil launches.
Palm oil is one of those innocuous-sounding products that is not-so-secretly devastating wildlife and their habitats. Harvesting palm oil is an inefficient process that brutalizes the ecosystems from which it’s taken, which is home to orangutans, tigers, and other creatures that are dying at alarming rates. The Singapore Alliance on Sustainable Palm Oil is a refreshing approach that takes a market approach for advocating against palm oil products that partake in anti-environmental harvesting, an approach that is needed now more than ever.
After pressure from the public, Seaworld has announced they will end orca breeding, as well as stop putting on the shows which many deem cruel. Collecting an orca from the wild has been illegal for quite some time, and less than 30 exist in captivity, but this will ensure the intelligent creatures will remain in the wild with their dignity intact. Hopefully Seaworld will be able to put their newfound time towards continued conservation efforts.
For 3 years in a row a wolf affectionately called OR-7 has fathered puppies in Oregon, leading to a current population of at least 110 wolves in the state. The species were heavily hunted back in the day, although at least one wolf was illegally killed in Oregon this year. However, it’s looking like the population is doing so well that even an errant hunter can’t curb the wolf’s rightful place in the wild.
This summer was a relief for the endangered fin whale, because Iceland decided not to hunt them for Japanese consumers. Note that this is not a permanent choice, but any reprieve the creatures can get is a start, especially since it was motivated by lack of demand for the fin’s meat. It’s possible that this will be the beginning of a continued downward trend for interest in whale meat.
Malawi is a small country just south of Tanzania, but it isn’t afraid to fight back against the scourge of poaching that plagues the big, beautiful beasts of the African continent. Poachers, rhino horn dealers, and the like face a 30-year prison sentence if convicted of wildlife-related crimes, setting a powerful deterrent against victimizing rapidly depleting populations of some of the most iconic animals on the planet.

BIG Brother's Lotan Carter was seen passionately kissing Made In Chelsea star Daisy Robins at Katie Price's single launch last night.
The 28-year-old stripper was caught on video getting to grips with the 24-year-old reality star, who recently admitted to bedding Towie's Lewis Bloor.
A pal of Lotan - who was booted from the Big Brother house last week - told The Sun online: "Daisy and Lotan had met each other before, and while there was undeniable chemistry, nothing happened.
"They were both guests at Jog on to Cancer back in April, Lotan was there working for the Dreamboys.
"Daisy was really forward and actually approached Lotan at the event, and said 'hi, you’re coming home with me!’
"But as he's never seen Made In Chelsea he just laughed at her - he had no idea who she was.
"Despite her best efforts, she didn’t coax Lotan in to going home with her that night, he ended up going back to a hotel with the Dreamboy lads.
"A few days later they started chatting on Instagram and kept in touch that way, they hadn't met up since."
Last night the pal said it was a total coincidence that Lotan and Daisy crossed paths - but they both seemed pleased about the encounter.
They added: "He didn’t know he was going to see her last night, so was just random that she was there.
"He likes her and thinks she has a great personality, he would like to see her again but isn’t sure whether it would be for a friendly coffee or a date.
"After spending some time kissing and dancing together,they left the event together in taxi."
Last night another party-goer at Katie Price's single launch told The Sun Online that Lotan had seemed eager to hang out with Katie - who he stripped for ahead of her second wedding to Alex Reid.
A source told The Sun Online: “During Katie’s performance Lotan was dancing as if he was on stage with the Dreamboys – he really seemed to be trying to get her attention.
MOST READ IN TV & SHOWBIZ
“At points, his gyrating and body-rolling was a bit distracting from Katie’s singing.
“He was also overheard telling someone about how ‘amazing’ she looked in her revealing cat suit – it was like he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“After her performance he made a beeline for her in the VIP area – it wasn’t surprising seeing he had been so eager to get her attention and get close to her earlier in the evening.”
The night that Daisy first met Lotan was the night she ended up sleeping with Lewis Bloor - who had broken up with Marnie Simpson just days before.
Fans became suspicious something might have happened when Lewis shared a photo of him posing with Daisy and the caption: “Summer’s always funner”.
While Daisy also shared a snap with the caption: “Oh haiiii there handsome.”
Reps for Lotan Carter declined to comment.
Reps for Daisy Robins have been approached for comment.

Conservatives launch proposals to tackle congestion
The Conservative Party has launched proposals to help reduce traffic congestion in the UK. The Party’s Economic Competitiveness Policy Group claims that its proposals will improve the transport system and help the UK to become more competitive. Chairman of the policy group, John Redwood, outlined that the idea was to produce a ‘greener, cleaner, safer’ road system in Britain and that an important emphasis should be placed on the use of junctions. Proposals include drivers being able to turn left at red lights; the development of new carriages and underpasses; and the improvement/widening of cycle paths. The proposals were met with some concern by the RAC Foundation and Andrew Evans, Professor of Transport Risk Management at Imperial College. However, Mr Redwood was keen to stress that the proposals did not represent party policy and were merely ‘interim thinking’ on transport policy.

However, just 24 hours before, ICM pollsters claimed that Theresa May had a much more significant 12% lead.
The huge disparity led some to accuse pollsters of “rogue” surveys.
But speaking on Newsnight last night, policy editor Chris Cook said the “very big” difference in numbers was down to the “turnout weighting” of young people.
“When pollsters put together their polls, they not only have to make sure that the whole thing represents Britain as a whole,” he said.
“They have to work out whose actually going to turn out and vote. And the assumptions and measures they have used there are radically different.”
Cook continued: “So, for example, Survation, the ones who have a six percentage point Tory lead - so good for Labour - they are assuming that more than 80% of under 24s go to vote.
“ICM, who have a 12 percentage point lead for the Tories - so bad for Labour - think there is only going to be around a 40% turnout among under 24s.”
Newsnight presenter Evan Davies then asked: “And given that so many young people are Corbyn supporters, are Labour supporters, whether they turn out is basically what drives it?”
“Thats a big part of what’s going on,” Cook confirmed.
A survey of 1,000 university undergraduates found that 55% plan to vote for the Labour Party on June 8, with more than a million under 25s having registered to vote in the election.
But, according to British Election Survey data, just 44% of of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2015 General Election - a fall from the 2010 figure of 51.8%.
A Tory candidate, who has served as an MP for more than a decade, told HuffPost UK: “Under-30s love Corbyn, but they don’t care enough to get off their lazy arses and vote for him!”

NORFOLK- Tapping feet and bobbing heads to count the beats, Torrington and Litchfield high school students took the stage at the Infinity Music Hall & Bistro Norfolk Sunday evening for their annual performance at the Southern New England Jazz Festival.
“It’s a good time for everyone involved and, of course, they sound incredible in here,” said arts and guests service manager Jon Riedeman.
Wayne Splettstoeszer, who has led Torrington’s award-winning band for the past 22 years and serves as the high school’s director of instrumental music and music technology, said the invitation to play at the hall was an honor.
“Most schools don’t have a venue like this, so to be able to come in here and play is incredible,” Splettstoeszer said.
Torrington High School’s band played their way through a half an hour of jazz, including a violin solo by student Maggie Schnyer, before finishing off the performance with a rendition of Kimberley Rew’s “Walking on Sunshine.”
Litchfield High School’s band finished the night with a performance led by Alex Kidd, who is nearing the end of his first year as the school’s band director.
“In my short time here I often hear from the students that this is there favorite show to play at and it’s quickly becoming my favorite as well,” Kidd said.
Four other schools, including Wamogo Regional High School and Plainville High School, played hours before the final 7 p.m. show.
Paul Amenta, the show’s producer, said the show has grown to include more high school’s over the years, but he said he reserves a unique spot for Torrington and Litchfield high schools, who have played at the hall since Amenta first started the festival in 2012.
“Every year, I find out their schedules and when they can play and I plan the rest of the show around that,” said Amenta, who starts laying out the festival plans at the beginning of the school year.
Amenta and Infinity Music Hall & Bistro Norfolk will host another school next month. The St. Anthony School Variety Show will be April 7 at 1:30 p.m. and will feature students from the K-8 school in Winsted.

The sequel to Pee-wee’s Big Adventure is getting a new home.
The long-rumored film is going to Netflix in all of its territories after being in development at Universal. Judd Apatow, whose name has been attached to the film for some time, is still set to produce, with Paul Reubens putting his character’s signature gray suit and bowtie back on.
Titled Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, Pee-wee Herman will take his first holiday after a meeting with a stranger, and Netflix described it as “an epic story of friendship and destiny.” There’s no premiere date set for the streaming site, but according to Netflix, production will begin early this year. Director John Lee (Inside Amy Schumer, Broad City) will helm the film and Paul Rust wrote the script.
Picking up the movie for Netflix was a no-brainer.
“We didn’t hesitate for a moment knowing that Pee-wee’s Big Holiday was such a passion project for Paul and Judd and we are delighted by the opportunity to introduce such a beloved character to a new generation,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said.
Apatow called it “a dream come true,” while Reubens noted that he and Apatow had thought about the project for years.
“The world was much different back then—Netflix was waiting by the mailbox for red envelopes to arrive,” Reubens said. “The future is here. Get used to it. Bowtie is the new black.”

Night In San Francisco'
King Curtis: Live At Fillmore WestImport
Live At Fillmore West is the ultimate King Curtis live album, a brilliant confirmation of the saxophonist's place in popular music. This is the stuff of Soul legends that belongs in any record collection.
The album showcases three concerts he played with his band The Kingpins at the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco in March 1971. Those nights, the group supported Soul singer Aretha Franklin, as were they her backing band. Famed for their outstanding rhythmic interplay, the group of seasoned session men featured a.o. Cornell Dupree on guitar, Billy Preston on electric organ and Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie on drums, supported by the inimitable Memphis Horns.
Curtis rips through some of the biggest hits of the day including Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, transforming them into showcases for the group's soulful playing. Beautiful renditions of A Whiter Shade Of Pale and I Stand Accused are highlights, and full-throttle rockers like Changes and Memphis Soul Stew comprise the heart of the album.
Tragically only a week after its release, Curtis was stabbed to death outside his brownstone apartment in New York following an argument with two junkies. The day after he died the album peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard 200 album chart, his greatest success as a solo artist.1. Memphis Soul Stew

Live In San Francisco 1971The closing of the Fillmore West (actually, the Carousel Ballroom) put a big dent in the 'City By the Bay'. This performance was taken from the closing concerts for the venue. The list of bands that Bill Graham didn't want was also big, and the Flamin' Groovies were on it, for years. Our first manager was Bill's right-hand man and when he quit working for Bill to manage the Flamin' Groovies this did not sit well with Bill, so the Groovies went up and down in Bill's eyes. So it came as a big surprise when we discovered he wanted us for this big and important event, to participate in a series of shows leading up to the closing of this legendary venue. I remember the show well. The difference in playing this gig as opposed to the Whisky-A-Go-Go in L.A. was like night and day. At the Whisky, we were the house band (two summers in a row); att the Fillmore, we were up for grabs. Oh yeah, this was our last show with my good buddy, Roy Loney.

Call By NightWymond Miles was raised in the working-class small towns of the American
West. On Call by Night, the singer's latest widescreen opus, Miles masterfully
evokes that lost landscape, all while grappling with issues of fatherhood, privacy,
PTSD, violence, and dissipated romance. The album adds a critical new chapter
to the Fresh & Onlys guitarist's story as an artist, and reasserts him as a major
voice in contemporary songwriting.
Call by Night sees Miles building a noticeably bigger sound than on his previous
solo records, while simultaneously standing as his most intimate work. It's a
record explicitly written for the fidelity of the vinyl format, with louder songs
beginning each album side and quieter songs at the interior. His attention to
sequencing paid off; the album flows like a piece of classic cinema, and sounds
like it's splashed across a drive-in screen in 70mm. Recorded using vintage gear
by Phil Manley (The Fucking Champs, Trans Am) at El Studio in San Francisco
and Miles' Garden Chamber home studio, the record is a treasure of tube-amp
warmth, and a landmark in the songwriter's catalog.
Miles wrote most of Call by Night on piano, and while the wall-of-sound guitar
and cinematic synth playing that helped define his earlier efforts is still present,
the beating heart of the songs is left more open thanks to his new method. Where
previous full-lengths were cloaked in distinct aesthetic choices, this record exists
outside of any stylistic restraints. "Divided in Two," the lead single, considers
dignity, class, honor, and father-son relationships through the devastating lens of
PTSD, all set to a sardonic flag-waving waltz, with martial percussive bomb blasts.
The title track explores the enduring aesthetic of British psych-folk. Other songs
dip into the traditions of gospel music, sea shanties, and even big-box power
ballads, using antique instruments and Miles' unique perspective on the modern
world to forge a new collection of entries for the American songbook.
Miles has said the songs on Call by Night mark his "more definitive commitment
to seek, listen, and give voice to an enduring muse." If that's true, then the muse
has obviously been singing to him loud and clear.1. Summer Rains

Talent Night At The Ashram
180-Gram Red Vinyl
"Sonny Smith's endlessly prolific San Francisco psychpop band Sonny
And The Sunsets crank out loopy, fun, lofi tunes at scary rates"
Initially envisioned as a film project, each song on Talent Night at
the Ashram was originally a short film that, when strung together,
formed a feature-length movie. Equal parts Fellini and Os Mutantes,
Talent Night at the Ashram is cinematic in its storytelling and
kaleidoscopic in its mixing and merging of musical genres.
'60s folk, electric sitars, flutes, and myriad other sounds help
accentuate tales of professional bowlers in desperate need of a strike
("Icelene's Loss"), a mansion that houses every woman Smith has
ever known ("The Secluded Estate"), and Occupy meetings ending in
bad love ("Secret Plot to Destroy the Underground").
Recording was a communal effort mostly done at Smith's home on
this tape machine with musicians such as Shayde Sartin (The Fresh
& Onlys), Garret Goddard (King Tuff), Kelley Stoltz, Rusty Miller, Ian
McBrayer, and more. Talent Night at the Ashram finds Smith once
again securing his status as one of today's most arrestingly inventive
songwriters.1. The Application

Second Full-length Release For Hardly Art
Recorded In Analog At Tiny Telephone In San Francisco
There are times when beauty and sadness are inextricably linked. Massachusetts-based Gem Club understands this fragile symmetry. The band-singer/pianist Christopher Barnes and his collaborators, cellist Kristen Drymala and vocalist Ieva Berberian-create music that is intimate, graceful, and filled with melancholy.
In 2009, Gem Club's primary songwriter Christopher Barnes began playing local solo shows. The enthusiastic reception led him to bring Drymala and Berberian into the fold, and the six-song Acid and Everything EP was self-released the following year. Breakers, their subsequent full-length, paired plaintive piano melodies with impressionistic lyrics. Made primarily in Barnes's bedroom, the album displayed how music, even at its most minimal and hushed, could be cathartic, even transcendent.
For the new In Roses, Gem Club have ventured beyond the isolation of the bedroom to record in San Francisco at John Vanderslice's analog studio Tiny Telephone. Barnes worked closely with arranger and conductor Minna Choi of The Magik*Magik Orchestra, who, Barnes says, "helped reshape the new songs in fresh and unimagined ways," The resulting album is more expansive, more majestic, than prior Gem Club releases. There are spacious, grand flourishes-the church-choir voices on "Idea for Strings"; the reverberating drumbeats that propel the melody of "Braid"-yet the music retains the intimacy of previous works.
Because In Roses is an album of haunting piano songs, it might seem felicitous to the listener that Christopher Barnes once lived in a disused Boston piano factory. Nights, from behind neighboring doors, he could hear strangers fighting, throwing loud parties, even shooting scenes for porn films. While life exploded around him, Barnes retreated, "trying to re-create these landscapes with music." But he is quick to note that In Roses takes a different approach to the landscapes of the world than before. "Whereas Breakers was more about the body and inward-gazing, the new album is about me looking out on relationships I've had or wish I've had." Many lyrics address "the crashing realization that lives are no longer happening the way we want." Other songs are elegies for those Barnes has idolized or loved, but has lost: "Soft Season" is inspired by the life and death of early-90s gay adult film actor Joey Stefano ("I'm a boy on my back," Barnes sings, "and I'm more of a man"); the harrowing closer "Polly" is a song he wrote about his relationship with his late aunt.
Beauty and Sadness is the title of a 1964 novel by the late Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata, but the name could also serve to describe the music of Gem Club. During one scene of the book, Kawabata writes, "He heard a sound that only a magnificent old bell could produce, a sound that seemed to roar forth with all the latent power of a distant world." With In Roses, the beautiful and sad sounds of Gem Club come roaring forth with increasing power.

DMM Direct Cut From 24/96 Hi-Res Master
180 Gram Audiophile Pressing
He came from the 'Land Of The Midnight Sun', sparkled on the jazz-rock stage as an 'Elegant Gypsy', came up trumps in the 'Casino' with all the right chords and melodies, and his 'Splendido Hotel' was the number one address for fusion fans around the globe. He finally achieved immortality together with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia on 'Friday Night In San Francisco'. From his early days as a rising star i right up to the present day, he has continually managed to refine his qualities: breathtakingly fast picking, skillful percussion effects the like of which had never been heard before, the effortlessness with which he can instantly switch from muscular axe-man rock to spinning gentle, romantic webs of melody. In the nineties, inspired by his love of the acoustic sounds of Latin America and the works of nuevo tango pioneer Astor Piazzolla, he made some delightful chamber music recordings.
On more recent albums all these penchants, influences and musical movements have fused into an unmistakable sound. 'Elysium' is the climax of this process so far. The artist has arrived where he always wanted to be. He himself thinks of Elysium as a 'place of perfect happiness'. A paradise where acoustic and electric components, triumphant rock and finely entwined jazz, delicate and pumping rhythms, guitars and keyboards, wide panoramas of rock and diaphanous carpets of sound come together in harmony. The gates to paradise for guitar aficionados are open to everyone - with 'Elysium.'

Roman CandleKill Rock Stars is proud to re-issue Roman Candle, Elliott Smith's first solo album, originally released on Portland's Cavity Search Records in 1994. The album has now been remastered for the re-release by Roger Seibel (SAE) and Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op Magazine and archivist for Elliott's family. Originally released in very limited LP quantity, this is the first time that Roman Candle is widely available on both standard and 180g vinyl.
Roman Candle had quite an impact on Slim Moon, Kill Rock Stars' founder: In 1994, I had been asked to be on this five-person solo-act tour called Pop Chord with Tammy Watson, Carrie Akre, Sean Croghan and Elliott Smith. The first night at the Crocodile in Seattle, I didn't pay too much attention and people talked all through Elliott's set. Sean Croghan got up next and said all of you people who just talked through Elliott's set are bummed because you just missed something very, very special. The next night of the tour, at The Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco, I listened very closely to Elliott's set, and it was basically one of those life changing moments. Instead of watching the rest of the performers, I went out to the tour van and popped Roman Candle into the player, and listened to it on endless repeat for the rest of the evening and beyond. It completely blew my mind. I have never heard music as heart wrenchingly, gut-checkingly honest, intimate, and wise before or since.1. Roman Candle

NoumenaSan Francisco's The Drift create music that Tortoise should have made. Taking their name to heart, The Drift do just that - from ambient noise and elegant guitar rock to mournful jazz ballads and stunted, down-tempo hip-hop - all with the subtle grace that's to be expected from veterans of the sound. Existing somewhere between Miles Davis's In A Silent Way and Tarentel's From Bone To Satellite, The Drift compose predestined soundtracks for everyday life - not only perfect for a night on the beach, but just as suitable for the long drive getting there. Their music is inescapably passionate, executed with just enough wide-eyed improvisation to sound eternally fresh.1.Gardening, Not Architecture

Worth EPMas Ysa, the project of nomadic composer Thomas Arsenault, combines love songs, unabashed ecstatic pop, prayer, field recordings and techno into triumphant, danceable, melancholy folk music that pummels the heart rather than dances around it.
Born in Montreal with formative years spent in San Paolo at hard-techno raves, Arsenault's life is one of human and musical experience rather than eye-searing laptop screens. After studying composition at Oberlin Conservatory, where he joined the Ohio-based Shinkoyo art collective, Arsenault headed west for San Francisco to assist kindred-spirit cult artist Warner Jepson.
Eventually, Arsenault landed on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, occupying a sprawling loft complex connected to the underground venues 285 Kent and Glasslands. There, he built a studio that yielded records by everyone from Cass McCombs to Laurel Halo, getting out of bed in the dead of night to write songs and record sonic fragments. During the day, Arsenault explored the other side of modern composition by collaborating with Rashaun Mitchell of the storied Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
Born as a live experience in early 2012, Mas Ysa hoists this voracious music history and crashes it head-on with blunt emotional trauma. Early shows vacillated between dancefloor catharsis and inner pain, emphasizing both ritualistic transcendence and the universal bond of folk music.1. Vanya

IISan Franciscos Pins of Light reside in that murky musical shadow-territory of the nearly unclassifiable. They craft a brutal and intricate mÉlange of metal, punk and prog that isnt quite any of those things. Pins of Lights most progressive moments are more Motörhead than Mothers of Invention; their metal is more Pink Floyd than it is Judas Priest; the elements of punk are a driving fistfight thats entirely the bands own. Singer and bassist Shane Baker, guitarists Jake Palladino and Ravi Durbeej, and drummer Phil Becker come previously (and currently) from such SF institutions as Dead and Gone, Night After Night, Hightower and Triclops (among a slew of others). The groups debut album II was recorded by Kurt Schlegel (Jello Biafra, Melvins, I Am Spoonbender) and Phil Manley (TransAm, The Fucking Champs) at Lucky Cat Recording and mixed by Becker in the bands hometown.1. 4112

The March entry in our 25th anniversary reissue series is Bloomed, the 1994 debut album
from Richard Buckner. The album will be remastered and released on 180-gram
vinyl and will include a CD containing 11 bonus tracks of radio sessions, live
performances, and original recordings of songs that appeared on future releases.
Spin magazine described Buckner as "equal parts Bay Area bohemian and dust bowl
traditionalist" and named Bloomed one of its best albums of 1994, while Pitchfork
wrote, "It's a traditional outsider-country record in the lineage of Townes Van Zandt.
Buckner's voice is all honey and oak, his guitar style elaborately twanging, his constant
subject matter heartache."
Richard Buckner provides some background on the album:
Bloomed was originally (erroneously?) released on an unnamable German label in 1994.
I was living in San Francisco at the time, having just moved out of a residential hotel
and into the 1906 hilltop prefab that adorns the cover. At the time, I was heading a
band called The Doubters. We were playing high profile events such as The Covered
Wagon Saloon's Musical Barstools, but weren't making much headway. We had been
turned down consistently every year by SXSW, but I was somehow finagled in as
an unannounced guest onto an already unofficial SXSW showcase created by Butch
Hancock at his gallery in downtown Austin. There, I met up again with Lloyd Maines,
who agreed to produce my first record.
Maines and I met in Lubbock, TX, a few months later, where we worked with
Lubbock musicians in a small recording studio walled in wooden shingles Sharpied
with bible passages from various church groups that also enjoyed working there.
It was 112°F the morning I arrived under the suspicious (Californians are merely
B-grade yankees) gaze of downtown's Buddy Holly statue. That first night there, it
hailed so hard that heaven's angry pellets were storming in under my motel door. It
only let up for a few moments that first night, allowing me to run across the street to
get a butter burger and fries to go. We finished four days later and I flew back to San
Francisco, dismembered the band, and embarked on a tour that would last about 20
years (or a few days, if you count what I actually remember).
Nothing's changed. I'm still dodging the sky and busking to strangers.LP

Winterland (Box Set) (Awaiting Repress)Hendrix's Most Storied Live Three-Night Stand Comes to Brilliant Life on Stellar, Audiophile-Quality Box Set
Features Tons of Performances Not Available on Any Other Release
Six 1968 Concerts from San Francisco's Historic Venue Reshaped Rock and Roll: Here Are the Highlights
8LP Edition Annihilates All Previous Winterland Compilations: Tremendous Sonics and Insight
Also Includes 36-Page Book and Rare Backstage Interview With Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance may be his most famous, but the guitarist named by Rolling Stone as the best in history was never better than at a three-night stand in San Francisco, putting on a total of six concerts that fans have long clamored to hear. Featuring the creme de la creme of said performances, now everyone finally gets their wish.
Winterland is drawn from said six stellar shows recorded over three days (October 10, 11 and 12, 1968) at San Francisco's historic Winterland Ballroom. These special performances celebrated the two-year anniversary of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and came just as the groundbreaking album Electric Ladyland was released. Even given the era's rich history, you'll be hard-pressed to come up with any concert that rivals what's here.
As many already know, Winterland presents some of Hendrixs most spectacular guitar work. This scintillating set is filled with rare live versions of classic songs such as Manic Depression, Are You Experienced?, Tax Free, and Little Wing that are not part of any other Sony Legacy releases. Fans will also enjoy Hendrixs dramatic interpretations of Creams Sunshine Of Your Love and Howlin Wolfs Killing Floor (with the Experience joined by Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady) as well his rendition of Bob Dylans Like A Rolling Stone, which many critics and fans regard as the ultimate interpretation.
Pressed on 8 x 180g LPs, this special deluxe box set features never before released music from each of the six unforgettable Winterland performances. Please note that Winterland is now markedly different from the flawed single disc compilation, long out of print, briefly issued by Rykodisc in 1987 and 1988. Moreover, Winterland also presents a rare interview with Hendrix recorded backstage at the Boston Garden a few weeks after the Winterland performances. This previously unreleased bonus provides fans with a unique window into Hendrixs views about his background, his approach to the guitar, and songwriting and future direction of his music.
As should be required for any such box set, Winterland features a 36-page booked filled with previously unpublished images by acclaimed photographers Robert Knight, Allen Tannenbaum, and Jim Marshall, as well as an essay by noted Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke.LPs 1 & 2: 10/10/68 Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco

Live RustMere months passed between the release of Neil Young's mid-career milestone Rust Never Sleeps and this 1979 tour recording, which documents a late-'78 San Francisco performance. Indeed, Live Rust boasts four songs from the album that gave it its name. It's also sequenced in the same spirit as its studio sibling. As with Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust opens with steady-flowing acoustic numbers before swirling into an electric vortex. What was side 4 off the original two-record version--Like a Hurricane, Hey, Hey, My, My, and Tonight's the Night--is arguably Young and Crazy Horse at their peak as a live unit, with all due respect to 1991's estimable Weld and 1997's desultory Year of the Horse. Few rock bands rank with Young and his stalwart electric trio, and Live Rust presents them in all their raging glory. -Steven StolderLP 1

REDI-SUN-8719xEric Burdon & The Animals
Winds Of ChangeReeling from poor management decisions and inter-band strife, The Animals fell apart toward the end of 1966. Seeking a rebirth, lead vocalist Eric Burdon relocated from London to California. There, Burdon assembled a new Animals lineup, retaining only drummer Barry Jenkins from the previous incarnation. Now known as Eric Burdon and The Animals, the group immersed themselves in the psychedelic culture of San Francisco and their sound followed suit. Informed by his inaugural acid trip, Burdon led his bandmates through a fresh, decidedly lysergic interpretation of American blues. While the original group had largely performed songs written by others, The New Animals began composing as a group.
The prophetically titled Winds of Change, released in September 1967, offered ten stellar examples of this new songwriting approach, along with a heavy cover of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black." Lead single "San Franciscan Nights" encapsulated the Summer of Love in what became a top ten hit for the new band (and helped get them on the bill for the seminal Monterey Pop Festival).1.

REDI-SUN-5276xMike Bloomfield & Al Kooper
The Live Adventures Of Mike Bloomfield and Al KooperIn the wake of the success of their seminal 1968 Super Session release, blues-steeped guitar hero Mike Bloomfield (Butterfield Blues Band and Electric Flag) and multi-talented keyboardist/singer Al Kooper (Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears) teamed up again for a historic series of joint performances as San Francisco's legendary Fillmore West, which are documented on The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper.
The resulting live album, culled from three nights' worth of shows and released in 1969, is a powerful testament to the formidable musical chemistry of these two rock legends, whose collaboration began when they played on Bob Dylan's classic Highway 61 Revisited. The Fillmore performances bring out the best in both musicians, who stretch out on assortment of tunes, including the Kooper/Bloomfield original Her Holy Modal Highness, Paul Simon's The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy), The Band's The Weight, Booker T. and the MGs' Green Onions and Albert King's Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong, which features a rare Bloomfield vocal. The album also features guest appearances by Elvin Bishop and Carlos Santana.
Unavailable in its original format for decades, The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper has been meticulously restored to its original double-LP form for this vinyl reissue, using Sundazed's exacting technical and aesthetic standards. The album is pressed on high-quality, high-definition vinyl, and duplicates the album's original gatefold cover art, including legendary artist Norman Rockwell's iconic cover painting of Bloomfield and Kooper.1.

Bay Area music scene. This proved difficult within the regarded garage rock
scene and insular DJ night crowds currently dominating the area's music community. Here, Justin fell into a slump, creatively. With a severe bout of writer's
block he retreated to his parent's house in Lathrop, CA. Away from the city,
he put down his guitar for a full year in favor of properly training himself on
piano, the instrument from which all the tracks for Nausea were written.
The demos came together in early 2014 and Vallesteros flew to Seattle to
produce and record the LP, full of ideas and a new found maturity in both
songwriting and recording sophistication. Within the first few seconds of lead
single "Breaking the Angle Against the Tide" we know we're not listening to
the same Craft Spells anymore. This is a bold, beautiful and lush new sound
emphasizing the songwriting abilities Vallesteros always had. An album highlighted by loads of piano, real strings and acoustic guitar, this change is like
the color coming alive in the Wizard of Oz. The beautiful "Komorebi" with it's
piano chord progression and sorrowful string accompaniment emphasizes this
newfound maturity and confidence as a writer that is the next logical step in
Craft Spells' career.
Nausea could easily have been a record rife with indecision and anxiety.
But like the song for which the album is named, Craft Spells was able to turn
the chaos and disillusionment into a work that provides ammo against that
very thing, with beauty, vision and melody.1. Nausea

Live 1969This 1969 live recording from Mount Carmel High School in Houston represents the final stage appearance by the original lineup of Texas garage combo Fever Tree. With two strong studio LPs for UNI Records behind them, the group began to fragment from internal struggles. Consequently, the label asked for one more album. The group complied and the results are contained in this previously unreleased concert recording, presented here in 180 gram vinyl.
Sharpening their chops on the Gulf Coast circuit, followed by a high-profile opening night gig at Hollywoods legendary Kaleidoscope, Fever Tree developed a keen sense of musical drama and dynamics. This versatility is in sharp display on the concerts rendition of their underground radio hit San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native). For the rest, Live 1969 focuses on groovers, a perfect set-up for the gliding fuzztones of lead guitarist Michael Knust, the sonic organ of Rob Landes, the thick rhythms provided by E.E. Bud Wolfe III on bass and John Tuttle on drums ,and the dynamic, driving lead vocals of Dennis Keller.
Dont Come Crying to Me Girl, a song originally found on the bands second album, levitates the band beyond any earthly confines. Elsewhere, the set moves between a soaring cover of Donovans Hey Gyp, their own power pop Grand Candy Young Sweet and a whirlng psych take on Wilson Picketts Ninety-Nine and One Half (Wont Do). Playing as if their lives depended on it, Live 1969 captures a band at the height of its powers, forever preserved on this final audio testament.1. Grand Candy Young Sweet

LiveSundazed Music is proud to present a genuine psychedelic landmark: Live by Moby Grape, the first official collection of concert recordings by the legendary San Francisco band at its blazing late-Sixties peak. At that time, in rock's hippest city, there was no other band like the original Grape: Jerry Miller, Skip Spence, Bob Mosley, Peter Lewis and Don Stevenson. Their Columbia debut LP, Moby Grape, issued in June 1967, is still acclaimed as one of the greatest rock albums evera thrilling union of blues, soul, country, surf twang and day-glo garage rock, packed into original killer-pop songwriting. Even as extreme Columbia hype, devastating business hassles and Spence's tragic mental collapse threatened to blow up the band, the Grape continued to make immortal albums, including 1968's Wow and the magnificent Moby Grape '69.
But the records told only half of the tale. Moby Grape, in their prime, were also one of the Bay Area'sand America'sbest stage bands, like the Beatles and Rolling Stones in one, with a breathtaking triple-guitar attack and stunning vocal harmonies.
Live is the long-awaited proof. It features more than an hour of dynamite performances from soundboard and broadcast tapes, including tracks from the Avalon Ballroom in 1967 and the band's complete long-lost set at the Monterey Pop Festival, just a week after Moby Grape came out. There are live versions of the great rare Grape songs Rounder and Looper and five tracks from a famous Dutch radio show featuring the hard-charging '69 lineup of Miller, Mosley, Lewis and Stevenson.
And Live climaxes with the historic first-ever release of Spence's acid-guitar masterpiece Dark Magicnever recorded in the studio by the original band but presented here in an epic 17-minute performance at the Avalon, on New Year's Eve 1966. Moby Grape were the hottest band in town that night, with the whole rock & roll world ahead of them. And they sound like it. These four-decade-old recordings have been spectacularly mastered, in you-are-there fidelity, and this album comes with sumptuous packaging and rare photos, in true Sundazed style, plus liner notes by Rolling Stone writer and Moby Grape authority David Fricke. Live presents, at last, the untold part of Moby Grape's incredible story. It is San Francisco psychedelia at its zenith and the best historical rock release of the year.1.

CranekissTime and changes distance Tamaryn's Cranekiss from her earlier efforts, and for that matter, from everyone else's. Time, by way of the long period spent crafting this material, both on her own and with Weekend's Shaun Durkan, who with producer Jorge Elbrecht (Violens, Lansing-Dreiden), make up the creative team behind Cranekiss. Changes, by relocating across the country from San Francisco to New York City, by expanding the approach taken on her two previous albums (2010's The Waves and 2012's Tender New Signs), by making music that pulls you closer to it despite the enormity of the sounds within.
Tamaryn's first two full-lengths stood out in a crowd of shoegaze/ethereal revivalists as much for what they were (careful, gorgeous, thrilling tapestries of guitar-based textures) as what they weren't (simplistic, trendy, disposable signposts made to be broken). With Cranekiss, Tamaryn emerges from her past in a way that's inviting, warm-blooded, and shockingly direct. She's made a big record, loaded with samples, synth triggers and processing that was missing from her previous efforts, the result of long nights grinding it out at the Brooklyn studio Gary's Electric, where the record was born. The Waves and Tender New Signs focused on the sounds Tamaryn and her group could coax out of guitars, but with Cranekiss her sonic palette has exploded with maniacal abandon, pressed into service of a post-adolescent love letter to all the music that she and her collaborators hold dear, drawing influences from the feelings that fell out of her. Anyone familiar enough with those times should be able to draw their own comparisons, recognizing the modes of musical respect and adoration flashing past as the record spins. From there, though, Tamaryn has modeled these elements into simulacra, where despite the nods and glances to the past, play as a totally new sound.
Lyrically, this is Tamaryn's most personal collection of songs to date, and Elbrecht has placed her voice front and center across the entire record, elevating her presence like never before. Cranekiss explores dark rock, dance pop, and glistening melancholy with a uniformly commanding presence across it all, in stormy, unsettled brushstrokes that apply pressure behind Tamaryn's words.
Cranekiss represents a long journey, and a new phase in Tamaryn's music unfolding before you, a blood-red kaleidoscope of desire and late night abandon, a bold step forward.1. Cranekiss

"Because with you rain is only a state of mind" - this line made me smile.
I really like the carefree, imaginative, bright tone of this poem... the doubt expressed in the final lines makes a really sharp contrast to the rest of it though, brings that light-heartedness back to grounding in reality, changes the whole mood of the poem. Interesting, very.
| CandleQueen chapter 1 . 7/13/2007
That was pretty good. My favorite stanza is: I miss you
The sugary sound of your voice
Rubbing against the telephone
Saying everything so wrong it’s right
Or maybe the other way around
I thought that was well put. _

Finally, a real poet. It's prose, but I like it, it still has a magical since to it. My favorite line would have to be "Tickling my eyes with brief forever fantasies" You've been able to create orgasmic poetry.
Any I don't think I like the usage of the word sticky, though your poetry is in its on little way taboo and different. I really urge you to keep writing poetry as I will keep reading it.

Absolutely beautiful :) Your imagery is perfect, and the flow is divine.

IPWatchdog.com is in the process of transitioning to a newer version of our website. Please be patient with us while we work out all the kinks.
In February 2019, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) instituted a rulemaking with the goal of reducing the number of fraudulent or inaccurate trademark applications. USPTO data shows that there has been a significant increase in applications from China, and many of those applications appear to be fraudulent or inaccurate. The USPTO therefore proposed new rules designed to address the problem. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) stated that the new rules would add a requirement that applicants, registrants, or parties to a Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceeding who are not domiciled in the United States be represented by a U.S. attorney in good standing. The USPTO received comments on the new rules and published the final rules on July 2, 2019. Nothing about the rulemaking seemed out of the ordinary. However, the shoe dropped with the publication of a new Examination Guide 4-19 on August 2. Not only did foreign applicants need to have lawyers, according to the guide, but every applicant and registrant had to provide a physical street address for the application, regardless of whether they were represented.

Alexei and Dmitry Ananeva, controlling, Bank Vozrozhdenie and Promsvyazbank, intend to build from scratch investment business in Cyprus, to which they invited several people from Deutsche Bank, writing in Monday “Vedomosti” with reference to the member of the Board of Directors of PSB Vladislav Khokhlov.
Ananeva, the status of each of them Forbes estimates at $1 billion, will invest €100 million in the capital of the company PSB Asset Management, said Khokhlov. PSB Asset Management received the first license in November 2015, the company plans to rename the Capital P. S., after which she will focus on work in capital markets, said a top Manager. According to him, the documents required for extension of licenses already sent to the Cypriot regulator CySec. CySec at the request of the newspaper about comments did not answer.
According to Khokhlova, to develop a new business direction to key partners Ananeva invited seven people from Deutsche Bank: Anton Likhodedov, former managing Director of the unit for emerging markets at Deutsche Bank in London, co-Director of Department of trading operations in Russia and CIS Maxim Lojevsky, Roman Zuleika, who headed the Department of trading in derivative financial instruments in the Moscow office of Deutsche Bank, as well as Vlad Gubsky, Alexander Suvorov, Alexander Kurapova, and Ildar Farshatova. Maxim Lojevsky confirmed information about the transition to PSB Asset Management.
In September 2015, the Deutsche Bank, the Russian “daughter” of Deutsche Bank, reported on optimization of its Russian subsidiary for investment banking services within the framework of the revision of its geography. The Bank said that the decision was made “to simplify processes, minimize costs and risks and the efficient use of capital.” A source close to the head office of the Bank in Germany, said that the Bank will close its core business in Russia — trade securities, bringing it up to 55% of revenue.
In June it became known that the chief Executive officer of Deutsche Bank’s Pavel Teplukhin August 1, leaving his post. A source familiar with Teplukhina, told me that Teplukhin will also travel to Cyprus and together with the former colleagues from “Three dialogue” will create there company asset management, the strategy which will invest in Russia, CIS and emerging markets.

Many claim to be "Balearic" DJs, but few genuinely are. DJ Harvey certainly is, as his triumphant summer residency at Pikes in Ibiza proved. If you didn't get a chance to check out the lauded veteran in action on the White Isle, fear not, because The Sound of Mercury Rising is almost entirely made up of music he championed over the summer. As you'd expect, it mixes notably obscure or overlooked gems from the distant past (Elkin & Nelson, the brilliant disco mix of Eighth Wonder's Pet Shop Boys' produced "I'm Not Scared", the Spanish-themed disco of Van McCoy, a killer Tony Esposito cut, and so on) with more recent fare that have tickled Harvey's fancy (the Idjut Boys, Gatto Fritto and the producer's own Locussolus project).
