The Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (2021) has a sensational screen, a great Intel processor and impressive Nvidia graphics so it will handle creative work easily. That said, the keyboard and battery disappoint, it’s loud and ugly, and other CPU options are available.
- An incredible 4K AMOLED display
- Powerful, versatile Intel processor
- Rock-solid Nvidia graphics core
- Lots of ports and features
- AMD’s CPUs are sometimes faster
- The exterior looks dull
- Underwhelming typing action
- Frequently noisy
- A fast, versatile Intel processor:The new Intel Core i7-11800H is fast in numerous situations, which makes it ideal for creative workloads
- A sensational 4K display:The AMOLED 4K display delivers incredible colours, crisp imagery and generous on-screen space
- Plenty of ports and features:The Aero has more ports, features and connectivity than rivals from Apple and Dell
The Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED is one of the most powerful laptops around when it comes to creative tasks, and that’s no wonder when you look on the inside – it has an Intel Core i7 processor and one of Nvidia’s best GPUs.
The processor is a newer and more powerful 11th Gen chip, too, and elsewhere the Gigabyte locks and loads a 4K OLED display, plenty of memory, and a lightning-fast SSD.
Not surprisingly, this hardware doesn’t come cheap. The Gigabyte I’ve reviewed here costs £2499 / $1999 / €2424, so you’ll need a flush bank account if you like the look of this laptop and think it could be one of the best laptops you can buy today.
As usual, there are alternative specifications available. A machine with an RTX 3060 costs £1899 / $1649 / €1899, and pricier portables with the RTX 3080 start at £3499 / $2999 / €2999. Prices increase significantly if you also opt for a Core i9-11980HK processor – those rigs start at £3999 / $3149 / €3299.
This isn’t the only high-end creative laptop in town. The Apple MacBook Pro 16 is a perennial favourite, and the Dell XPS 15 is popular, too. They’re both in the same ballpark as the Aero in terms of price.
Design and keyboard
- Plenty of features, both internally and externally
- It’s sturdy – but this machine isn’t slim, light or good-looking
- The keyboard and trackpad are adequate, but neither are brilliant
The Aero has high-end internals, but you wouldn’t know that from the outside. The black metal looks bland, and the exposed seams and indented ridges that run around the laptop are underwhelming. When compared to the metal and carbon fibre on the Apple and Dell machines, the Aero looks dated.
The dimensions are nothing to shout about, either. The 2kg weight means that the Aero is a little weightier than the Dell XPS, and its 20mm body makes it thicker than both rivals. Build quality is great, at least, with hardly any movement in the panels.
The Aero continues to impress in other practical areas. It has a USB-C port that handles Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, and mini-DisplayPort outputs, plus SD and fingerprint readers. On the inside, there’s dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and lightning-fast 2.5Gbps Ethernet. It’s easy to remove the base and access both memory slots, the SSD, and a spare M.2 connector. A TPM chip enhances security.
There are only minor practical weaknesses. While three full-size USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports are welcome, they could have been faster – they top out at 5Gbps. And while the webcam does have a physical shutter, it doesn’t have Windows Hello login, and it’s unhelpfully installed below the display. Don’t expect much from the speakers, either – they’re tinny and lack bass.
Still, this feature set compares well to rivals. The MacBook has Thunderbolt 3 and is poorer in every other regard too, while the Dell has an SD card reader and Windows Hello but little else.
The Gigabyte’s keyboard layout is good with a numberpad, full-size cursor and return keys, and plenty of function-row functionality. The unit has per-key RGB LED lighting, customisable macros and n-key rollover, so gamers and productivity fiends will be well-sated.
My hands-on time reveals a disappointing action, though. The buttons are slightly small, they don’t have much travel, and they feel underwhelming, without a crisp typing action or much physical feedback. It’s adequate for heavy workloads, but both competitors are more satisfying.
The trackpad is similar. Thanks to its accurate surface and two snappy buttons, it’s fine for everyday use, but it’s too small to prove truly satisfying.
- AMOLED technology delivers incredible contrast and depth
- Colours are accurate and punchy, no matter the gamut required
- The 4K resolution is crisp and spacious
The 15.6in diagonal and 4K resolution mean the Gigabyte’s display has a sensational density level of 282ppi, which is brilliant for working – there’s on-screen space and incredible crispness.
The AMOLED technology means perfect contrast, with black levels that have more depth than any IPS display. The picture-perfect dark areas are paired with a peak brightness of 399 nits, and that means the Aero’s display serves up incredible vibrancy and punch alongside those black levels.
When testing with a colorimeter, Aero’s display rendered 100% of the sRGB gamut at a mighty 164% volume, and it tackled the Adobe RGB gamut with figures of 95.1% and 113.1%. Results in the HDR-friendly DCI-P3 gamut were similar, too.
In real-world terms this means the Aero churns out fantastic colours, including every shade needed by sRGB workloads and almost every colour demanded by Adobe RGB. The volume figures mean they’re very bright, too, and the perfect colour temperature of 6508K and the great Delta E of 1.84 round off an impressive set of benchmarks.
The colour coverage, brightness and contrast mean that everything looks dazzling. The Aero has the accuracy and ability to handle colour-sensitive tasks in the sRGB and Adobe RGB colour spaces. It’s an excellent screen for creative workloads, and can handle HDR tasks, too. It’s even good for mainstream gaming, although eSports fans will want to look elsewhere due to the 60Hz refresh rate.
Indeed, this display is better than the display on the MacBook, which has a lesser resolution and poorer gamut ability. The Dell offers similar quality, since it’s also available with an OLED panel with similar brightness and gamut ability as the Gigabyte.
- Intel’s latest Core i7 CPU is a fast, versatile all-rounder
- The RTX 3070 graphics chip delivers lashings of speed
- The high-end hardware means plenty of irritating fan noise
The Aero’s key component is the Intel Core i7-11800H. It’s a newer 11th Gen processor, and it has eight multi-threaded cores alongside speeds of 2.3GHz and 4.6GHz. Last year’s Aero used the i7-10870H, which had the same number of cores and marginally better speeds, but an older architecture.
This new chip is also used inside the latest XPS 15, and it’s miles beyond the older Intel chip used in the current-gen MacBook.
Elsewhere, the Aero includes 32GB of memory and a 1TB SSD that delivered sensational read and write speeds of 7040MB/s and 5132MB/s.
The i7-11800H is an excellent chip that marks a return to form for Intel. Its Geekbench results (seen below) are impressive when lined up against other popular productivity CPUs. The familiar AMD Ryzen 7 5800H scores around 7000 points in Geekbench’s multi-core test, and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX hits around 8600 points – so Intel has them both beaten.
|Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (2021)||Dell XPS 15 (2020)||Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (2020)|
|Processor||Intel Core i7-11800H||Intel Core i7-10750H||Intel Core i7 10875H|
|Geekbench 5 single core||1533||1282||1327|
|Geekbench 5 multi core||9178||6179||7430|
|Graphics||Nvidia RTX 3070||Nvidia 1650 Ti GPU||Nvidia RTX 2070|
|3DMark Time Spy||8637||3821||7239|
Intel’s eight-core CPU can handle photo-editing and video work, even at 4K, and it has the grunt to tackle design applications and tough multi-tasking – the Aero will handle as many apps and browser tabs as you can throw at it.
This 11th Gen Intel CPU brings the blue team back to the table with a CPU that’s genuinely competitive in productivity scenarios – but it isn’t always a clear-cut victory for Intel. The Ryzen 7 5800H and Ryzen 9 5900HX are both faster in the Cinebench R23 and R20 rendering benchmarks. Those chips aren’t used inside the Dell or Apple machines, but they’re easy to find elsewhere, and those CPUs remain better in several key areas.
Then there’s Apple’s M1 processor. That chip has only appeared in smaller MacBooks, but even in those machines it scores beyond 1700 and 7300 points in Geekbench. You can bet there will be an even faster Apple chip inside the MacBook Pro 2021, which is rumoured to launch later in 2021.
The Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU is a solid option for graphical tasks. At 1080p it played games at speeds faster than 60fps, and at 4K it ran at speeds of 30fps or beyond. You’ll be able to handle triple-A titles and eSports games at rapid speeds here, even if the 60Hz display can’t keep up.
Not surprisingly, the RTX 3070 will tackle any graphical work task, and the Aero uses Nvidia Studio drivers that provide optimisations in creative apps. This GPU is also significantly better than the graphics options available in the Dell and Apple machines, as show with its remarkable 3DMark score.
The Aero’s biggest performance issue is caused by its fans. They’re louder than both rivals during multi-core workloads and when gaming, and they’re a distraction. They keep temperatures down throughout, but this is not the machine to buy if you want a subdued experience.
- You’ll get through to lunchtime with the Gigabyte’s 99Wh power pack
- It can’t compete with rivals and won’t handle a full day of use
This is another area where the Gigabyte can’t keep up. In a work benchmark with the display running at 150 nits the Aero lasted for 5hrs 23mins, which is four hours short of the Apple and Dell machines.
The Aero’s lifespan extended to just shy of seven hours when looping video, but it only lasted an hour when gaming.
Ultimately, you won’t quite coax the Aero through an entire working day, even if it isn’t far off. It’s not an awful result for a powerful laptop here, but its rivals are significantly better.
You might like…
Should you buy it?
You need a powerful, versatile laptop with the best display possible:
With Intel’s latest mobile processor and Nvidia’s RTX 3070, the AERO offers a fantastic performance. The OLED panel is incredibly good too.
You’re searching for a slim, light laptop with a great battery:
The main issues with this laptop is that it’s pretty heavy and has a very poor battery life, making it a poor option for those who work on the go.
The Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED excels in creative tasks thanks to its market-leading display, its impressive internals, and its broad range of features. But it isn’t the best option if you want good battery life, good looks, or a good keyboard, and there are other CPU options available now and coming soon.
The Gigabyte is sold with a standard one-year warranty.
Gigabyte is also producing this machine’s specification inside a 17.3in laptop. Just search for the Gigabyte Aero 17 OLED instead.
It’s certainly powerful enough for gaming, but the 60Hz refresh rate isn’t ideal for competitive games.

AAI Guide Stephen Williams just returned from the epic 13-day mountaineering course. The team covered a lot of ground over the past two weeks – glacier mountaineering on Baker, rock climbing in Leavenworth, alpine climbing in Washington Pass, and stupendous alpine climbing in Boston Basin. Here are just a few snapshots from their week.
After a jam-packed 6-days on Mount Baker learning the ropes (pun intended) of glacier travel, the 9-Day course is currently headed up mighty Mount Rainier. Currently they are on route to Camp Muir. Below are some photos from earlier in the trip.
The 8-day Intermediate Course had a banner time climbing in Washington Pass / Boston Basin last week. Check out some of the course highlights in photo form.
AAI Guide Lakpa Rita checked in from Ingraham Flats after a successful summit climb! The team reported excellent climbing conditions. They are headed down the mountain to take advantage of a much needed celebratory meal.
AAI Guide Victor McNeil just checked in from the base of Sharkfin Tower in beautiful Boston Basin. The team climbed the Southeast Ridge (5.0) as a warm-up for the ultra-classic West Ridge of Forbidden tomorrow.
I was thrilled to be in Antarctica. The plane ride over was exciting. The scenery was spectacular. I have always found Alpine Ascents to be excellent compared to other groups I’ve traveled with.

(OWEN CO.) - Indiana State Police claim that Republican Owen county Council member Angie Lawson may have embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the county's coffers.
Lawson is also chief deputy auditor and has filed for a candidate for clerk.
Police say taxpayer's money was spent on everything from catnip to a $325 Visa gift card.
Police began their investigation Owen County Auditor Mike Wood took his concerns of credit card misuse to Prosecutor Don Vandermoere. He then asked the Indiana State police to investigate.
Wood became suspicious after a Walmart bill was traced to a Spencer post office box used by Lawson.
Court documents show that 56-year-old Lawson was seen on videotape in several Walmart stores often spending more than $2,000 at a time, using the county's credit card.
Morgan County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Bob Cline, says the investigation continues and no criminal charges have been filed against Lawson.

Fernando Alonso has expressed his delight over qualifying fifth for tomorrow’s Italian Grand Prix despite appearing to berate his team over the radio during the final qualifying session after Ferrari’s tactics failed to pay off.
With Monza being the fastest circuit on the calendar, it can be highly beneficial for drivers to get in a teammate’s slipstream in order to reduce drag and therefore increase their speed. As they have done in the past two years, Ferrari opted to send their drivers out together on track with Felipe Massa leading from Alonso. By sending them around the circuit line astern, Alonso would benefit from Massa’s slipstream and theoretically post a better time.
However, during their final run, Massa appeared to pull away from Alonso, thus ruining the tactic and forcing the Spanish driver to solely rely on his own pace. He spoke over the radio to his team in Italian, but reports in the paddock from Italian journalists suggest that he may have called his team “stupid” for allowing Massa to pull away.
Eventually, Massa outqualified Alonso to line up in fourth with the Spanish driver fifth. Although the result may appear to be far from ideal for Ferrari, Alonso took to Twitter to express his happiness over his qualifying performance:
A good qualy finally after the last saturdays so so… Tomorrow we must try to be close to redbull in first part of the race! #forzaferrari
— Fernando Alonso (@alo_oficial) September 7, 2013
In the press session after the race, Alonso insisted that he had thanked his team after qualifying, with this result being a marked improvement from ninth in Belgium last time out.
Alonso had spoken out on Thursday to dismiss any rumors suggesting that he may be unhappy at the team, but this latest incident will only fuel the fire of conspiracy theorists in the paddock.

PHOENIX -- Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a State Grand Jury indicted Donaldo Parra, of Mesa, for Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices and Theft.
The indictment arises out of an investigation conducted by the Mesa Police Department. The allegations came to the attention of police when employees of a bank noticed the elderly victim appeared nervous and stressed while withdrawing money from her bank account.
Investigators learned from the victim that she provided Parra with over $2 million over the period of two years. The victim believed the money was being used for a civil lawsuit against her car insurance company. Investigators discovered the law firm, that was allegedly representing the victim, did not exist and that the alleged lawsuit did not exist.
Assistant Attorney General Joseph Waters and Assistant Attorney General Tarah White are prosecuting the case.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Copy of indictment.
Below is the booking photograph for Parra.

The Los Angeles City Council voted on Friday, in a unanimous decision to support new legislation regarding the purchasing records of shotguns, rifles and other “long” weaponry. Former L.A. City Councilman and current California state assemblyman, Mike Feuer introduced Assembly Bill 809, proposed to take affect in 2013, the Daily News reported.
The new law, if passed, would require that records for these forms of artillery be treated the same as handgun records, which, according to the Department of Justice, must be kept for 3 years after purchase. Along with the City Council, the LAPD also supports the bill. Captain Rigoberto Romero of the gang and narcotics division acknowledged that “long guns” are probably the most dangerous weapons that officers have to face.
Feuer argued that “one-third of the crime guns in California are long guns,” highlighting the necessity for new legislation. Those who oppose the law argue that the bill will do nothing to stop criminals, who often purchase artillery on the black market. Councilman Richard Alarcon, on the other hand believes that the law could help solve crimes that would otherwise go unsolved. Many believe that there can never be too much precaution when dealing with deadly weapons. If one crime can be solved or prevented, is the legislation not worth the bureaucratic trouble?
Perhaps we should take that a step further and question the constitutional right to bear arms. When the Second Amendment was written, our country was clearly at a different time and place. We don’t exactly have to hunt for food anymore. In 2011, what is the purpose of allowing everyone the “right” to bear arms? Should we be more selective with this freedom? Do people use this right more often to protect themselves or to evoke fear and commit senseless crimes? Does this “freedom” do more harm than good, overall? Not to argue that the amendment should be repealed tomorrow, or even this year, but it does need to be assessed, like many other outdated laws.
Policy must constantly change as society changes, and it is important to question and update legislation based on societal needs and standards. If people are abusing their “rights,” and the country is affected more negatively than positively from a particular piece of legislation, then it needs to be re-evaluated at the very least. Policymakers should never be afraid to question the unquestionable.

Situated in northern Namibia, the Etosha National Park is one of Africa's major wildlife sanctuaries, covering an area of about 22,270 square kilometers. The pan from which the park takes its name covers 6,200 square kilometers. Its origin is not clearly known: it is probable that there was once a great inland lake fed by the Kuneene river. The river changed its course over the centuries, causing the lake to dry up and form a saline desert plain where no vegetation will grow. When heavy rainfall occurs, parts of this desert plain transform into very shallow lakes where flocks of waterbirds like flamingoes and pelicans thrive.
The park is open to visitors throughout the year. Three rest camps - Okaukuejo, Namutoni, and Halali - offer accommodation in the form of self-contained bungalows and camping sites. Facilities for visitors include restaurants, shops, swimming pools, picnic sites. There are game viewing roads. Animals observed in the park include the spotted and brown hyena, big five, black-faced impala, cheetah, damara dik dik, gemsbok, springbok, eland, wildebeest, antelope and about 325 species of birds.

SINGAPORE — South Korean President Moon Jae-in said he “hardly slept” in anticipation of the United States-North Korea summit in Singapore.
Moon and other officials watched the live broadcast of the summit before a South Korean Cabinet meeting in his presidential office on Tuesday.
Moon smiled and nodded as he watched President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un meet.
Moon has met Kim twice in recent months and helped arrange the US-North Korean summit.
Moon said he “ardently aspires” for the success of the summit, and hopes it brings complete denuclearization and peace to the Korean Peninsula.
Fighting in the Korean War ended with an armistice in July 1953. That armistice has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula in a technical state of war. /kga

Microsoft: “Xbox 360 has a lot more than two years left”
Microsoft say they are “committed to the long-term”
While speculation runs wild on next-gen consoles, Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer thinks the Xbox is fine as it is.
“Right now the Xbox 360 is really healthy and it’s doing incredibly well,” he told said. “I think the 360 has a lot more than two years [left]. It has legs for a long time.
“Microsoft entered this space with the original Xbox 11 years ago, and we’re committed for the long-term,” he added. “The nice thing about the Xbox 360 right now is we’re the number one console globally. We’re able to bring in new content and still support the best of the core games.
“It’s a platform that has really reached scale; this is the time when you really see the great content showing up.”
Xbox boss in Europe Chris Lewis does note that despite the optimistic view on the 360’s longevity, that doesn’t rule out a next-generation release in the near future.
“We think we’re a little over halfway with the life cycle of the console, but that’s not to say there won’t be an overlap [with the next generation].”

Debenhams facing closure after rescue talks collapse
Easier access to your trusted, local news. Have a look at our brand new digital subscription packages!
Eastgate Shopping Centre’s anchor store Debenhams is facing a nightmare before Christmas following the failure of a last-ditch rescue effort for the department store chain.
Debenhams was placed in administration in April and hopes of its survival had rested on a takeover.
However, with the withdrawal of the final remaining bidder, JD Sports, the threat of closure now hangs over all remaining 124 Debenhams shops, placing the jobs of 12,000 workers at risk.
It will continue to trade through its stores and online to clear its stock but administrators have warned that if no alternative offers have been received by the end of the liquidation process, it will close.
The news came just hours after Topshop owner Arcadia fell into administration, putting a further 13,000 UK retail jobs at risk. Many Arcadia brands were concessions in Debenhams stores. There are also some within the Outfit outlet at Inverness Shopping Park.
Debenhams has been the flagship anchor store at the Inverness shopping centre since the opening of its Eastgate II extension in 2003 and as the only branch north of Aberdeen, is seen as a key component of the centre and city retail offering, and a draw for customers from across the region.
Eastgate Shopping Centre manager Jackie Cuddy said: “It is always sad to hear of retailers going into administration but unfortunately in these current times, we are hearing of it more. Both Debenhams and Topshop/Topman are still open and trading in the centre and until we have confirmation of anything different, we have no further comments to make.”
One 54-year-old Debenhams worker, who did not want to be named, said staff were devastated.
“We all knew it was a possibility, but we just kept thinking it would be OK,” she said. “Communication with Debenhams PLC has been appalling – to read about your job going from Facebook is demoralising.
“But for years we have had far too much stock, and the customers are just not coming in any more to buy it.
“There was always a sale on, so people didn’t buy things at full price unless they had to.”
She added: “We have the best customers in Inverness and I for one will miss them. But everyone seems to be shopping online – this year even more so.
“It is sad for the Eastgate Centre and for those of us who enjoyed working for a big department store. It will be the end of an era.”
Alasdair Christie, Highland Council’s deputy leader and chairman of the local authority’s pandemic recovery board, hoped the firms could be saved.
“This is a huge worry to the council and the recovery plan of the Highlands,” he said.
“Debenhams and Arcadia are long-established businesses and huge employers in the city. They take up a great deal of space not just in shopping space in Inverness, but across the whole of Scotland.
“We will be seeing the loss of footfall coming into the city centre, we will be seeing the loss of jobs. I do only hope that some kind of rescue package can be developed to secure the long-term future for staff and for the stores.”
It is not known exactly how many people are employed at the Inverness store, but it is believed to be at least 60.
Inverness Chamber of Commerce chief executive Stewart Nicol said the loss of Debenhams would be a devastating blow.
“It is really difficult for high street retailers, we know, and this pandemic is compounding the challenges they already face,” he said. “As businesses, as retail and as a city centre we have to start recovery and redefining what we are all about, so it is an opportunity – as well as a major blow – to look at the precise make-up of our city centre trade and how to attract people.”
Former Debenhams employee Mary MacIntyre (32), of Merkinch, was not surprised at the news. She left earlier this year after working there for two years.
“It was coming,” she said. “The store was quiet most days before the lockdown, and there just wasn’t the same spirit when we went back after the shops were allowed to reopen.
“I was only part-time, but you could see that everyone who was full-time had started to look for new jobs because the writing was on the wall.”

Emerging from the industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario in the 1970s, Simply Saucer created a distinct, original sound that was decidedly out of step with the current musical climate. The band played edgy rock & roll that was a combination of early punk pre-cursors (Velvets, Stooges, Modern Lovers), krautrock (Can, Neu, early Kraftwerk), and U.K. prog/psych (Hawkwind, Pink Fairies, Syd Barrett - both with and without Pink Floyd).
Simply Saucer's origins date back to 1972, when band frontman, guitar player/singer-songwriter Edgar Breau hooked up with five other avant-garde, record collecting musicians and began rehearsing in a Hamilton, ON warehouse. The original compositions were long, improvised jams played on empty bottles, audio generators, theremins, keyboards, sax, flute, electric guitars and drums. Besides Breau, bass player Kevin Christoff became the other perennial member of Simply Saucer.
They soon entered brothers Bob and Daniel Lanois's basement studio to record six songs. Alas, the Canadian music industry at the time was mired in mainstream convention that produced steady sales but little artistic vision. None would sign the quartet or release their recordings. By 1976, a nascent punk music scene was beginning to develop in London and New York and Toronto soon followed. A reinvigorated version of Simply Saucer, featuring ex-Teenage Head guitar player Steve Park, emerged and began gigging. They released the "She's A Dog" single on Pig Records in 1977 to great reviews. England's New Music Express awarded it "Pick Hit Single of the Week".
By 1979, Toronto's club scene had begun to dissipate and the individual members of the band began exploring new paths. Breau detuned his guitar ala John Fahey, sold all his electric gear and began a new solo career. Almost thirty years would pass before he would own an electric guitar or appear on stage with Simply Saucer.
It was years later before the general public and music journalists first became aware of the groundbreaking Lanois recording session. The six studio songs, combined with an explosive live set (performed in 1975 atop Hamilton's then new downtown shopping mall), were finally released in 1989 in a limited vinyl edition on Bruce Mowat's Mole Sound Recordings, entitled Cyborgs Revisited. An expanded version of this album was released on compact disc in 2003 by Hamilton's Sonic Unyon.
Critical acclaim for Simply Saucer mounted exponentially over the years, with prestigious publications like London Sunday Times and Pitchforkmedia printing rave reviews. In December 2005, the UK's UNCUT Magazine named Cyborgs Revisited one of the Top 20 re-releases that year, calling Breau a prophetic punk visionary.
The unusual history of the band and its penchant for resonating with younger audiences and bands kept the flame alive, inspiring a loyal, worldwide cult following. Requests from fans to reform the band continued to make their way to Breau until he was eventually persuaded to do a reunion in September, 2006. Soon afterwards, the band,with an invigorated line-up, was playing select gigs across North America, as well as taking part in the Terrastock Festival in Louisville KY, and the Scion Garage Fest in Portland, OR.
Amazingly, for a band that never released a full album while together, Simply Saucer garnered extraordinary prominence in music journalist Bob Mersereau's book The Top 100 Canadian Albums, placing thirty-sixth in the polling of music industry scions, musicians and critics. The "amazing story" of "the band that refused to die" is the subject of Weird Canada editor Jesse Locke's forthcoming SImply Saucer book, as well as Toronto filmmaker Greg Bennett's upcoming documentary Low Profile: The Simply Saucer Story.
Ultra cool Los Angeles garage rock label In The Red will release a deluxe edition of Simply Saucer's classic Cyborgs Revisited in the months to come. A new studio EP was recorded in Detroit and released on Hamilton's Schizophrenic Records, while Chicago's Logan Hardware is preparing a 2LP compilation of rarities. Indie label Mammoth Cave issued a vinyl 45 of crowd favourite "Bullet Proof Nothing", the song which gave the inspiration and title to Toronto author Liz Worth's best selling book Treat Me Like Dirt (Bongo Beat Books), a history of the Toronto, Hamilton, and London, Ontario seventies punk scenes.
Instead of sitting on their laurels, Simply Saucer continues to forge forward into uncharted territory. Summer 2015 marks the fortieth anniversary of the band's Cyborgs Revisited rooftop recordings. Simply Saucer will be celebrating its anniversary with select live appearances while preparing new music for a planned, upcoming album.
“ Simply Saucer are a divine mix of early Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett still mercifully intact) and The Velvet Underground (when Andy Warhol was at the helm and urging them towards the Exploding Plastic Inevitable). They are all this and more; a Suicide with a lust for life; a Silver Apples that are running with electronic juice! Sheer, ecstatic, underground bliss.”
— Edwin Pouncey, New Musical Express (London)

Hi! Cool idea to do movies instead of tv!
The hobbit: I didn't find that many problems as you guys. I never read the book so maybe that's why but I thought it was great. I was afraid cause everyone kept saying it was SOO long, but I didn't notice.
Django: I am not a big fan of his usually but I went to see this one with my brother and I'm really glad! I agree, the violence was so ridiculous at the end, it was kind of funny. The parts that kind of bothered me more were scenes like the barn scene... I had to close my eyes a little bit...But now, I am a huge Christoph Waltz fan, I love the way he talks,
@emily3 Thanks, Emily! Good points.Yeah, I think reading the book made us more critical. Still, I really enjoyed The Hobbit too. I hope that came across.
Yeah, the barn scene in Django was really hard to watch. Definitely nothing cartoonish about that. And I can't wait to see what Christoph Waltz does next!
I'm going to post part 2 of the podcast later today.

Typical symptoms usually occur with a dual mass flywheel failure. You can find out what these are and what causes a failure here. Also: What are average dual mass flywheel replacement cost in the UK and how to get free estimates?
How much does a dual mass flywheel replacement cost in the UK?
The average dual mass flywheel replacement cost in the UK is around £750-£1,500. The total cost will of course depend on the vehicle model, the design of the dual mass flywheel and the spare parts manufacturer. Unfortunately, the material costs are comparatively high. They can be £400-£1,200. Well-known manufacturers of dual mass flywheels are LUK, Sachs and Valeo.
The cost of removing the defective dual mass flywheel and installing the new one is comparatively high because the transmission always has to be removed. For this reason, it is usually worthwhile to have the clutch, which is also a high-wear part, replaced at the same time.
Depending on the vehicle, additional material costs of £100-£400 can be expected. For the change of the dual mass flywheel and clutch, a working time of about 3.5 to 7 hours can be expected. At an exemplary hourly rate of £70, this corresponds to a labour cost of about £250-£500.
Typical car models that may experience dual mass flywheel problems include Audi A4, Vauxhall Insignia, VW Caddy, VW Golf, VW Passat, Skoda Octavia, Ford Transit, Ford S Max, BMW 320 and BMW series 1. Below is an example of dual flywheel replacement cost (including a new clutch) for a VW T5:
Example: Dual mass flywheel replacement cost – VW T5
New dual mass flywheel
Money saving tip: Replace dual mass flywheel and clutch at the same time!It is advisable to replace the clutch at the same time as a dual mass flywheel because the transmission has to be removed anyway. A new clutch kit is comparatively inexpensive and since the labour costs make up the largest part and a failure of one of the two components would also affect the other, it is always worthwhile to replace both at the same time.

✓ Trustpilot rating: ‘Excellent’ – 4.5/5

✓ Done in a few clicks
What does a dual mass flywheel do?
A dual-mass flywheel is a wheel that has an integrated damper. It prevents oscillations, vibrations and shocks from being transmitted to the driveline while driving. In this way, it decisively increases driving comfort by ensuring a steadier and smoother ride.
Road noise is also significantly reduced and shifting gears is easier than with other wheels. Last but not least, the dual-mass flywheel also affects your car’s fuel consumption, helping to make it more environmentally friendly. Many modern motor vehicles are already equipped with dual-mass flywheels.
What are signs and symptoms of a dual mass flywheel failure?
However, these can also be caused by other damage to the transmission or a defective throw-out bearing. A dual mass flywheel failure can only be detected with certainty once the transmission has been removed.
If the symptoms are ignored, components may come loose from the faulty dual mass flywheel, enter the transmission and cause transmission damage. The car is then no longer roadworthy and additional repair costs are high.
What causes a dual mass flywheel failure?
Dual mass flywheel failures are not uncommon. Often, these are not wear or damage due to mechanical effects, but rather consequential damage caused by other defects, such as on the clutch. For this reason, a damaged clutch should be repaired promptly for the benefit of the dual-mass flywheel condition.
Damage that can occur to the dual mass flywheel includes fractures, worn friction surfaces, thermal overloads or leaked lubricant as well as a defective gear rim. Even though dual mass flywheels are very sturdy, they cannot always withstand the high loads to which they are subjected on every journey without damage.
Can a dual mass flywheel be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
Repairing a defective dual mass flywheel is not possible. Only replacing the defective component with a new part makes sense here. Used spare parts are not a sensible option either, because the exact condition is not visible from the outside and the effort required to remove the transmission would otherwise be duplicated.
To replace the defective dual mass flywheel, the transmission must be removed. The exact procedure varies depending on the exact vehicle model and can be very time-consuming depending on the design.
How long does the garage need to replace dual mass flywheel and clutch?
The time required varies depending on the car model and the workshop, but on average it takes around 3.5 to 7 hours to change the dual-mass flywheel and clutch.
Can I drive with a faulty dual mass flywheel?
It is recommended to visit a repair shop promptly. While it is possible to continue driving at first when you detect a dual mass flywheel failure, you should not ignore the symptoms indefinitely. Otherwise, components could come loose and enter the transmission. There, they could possibly cause damage to the transmission.
How can I reduce the dual mass flywheel replacement costs?
» Get free dual mass flywheel replacement estimates
The dual mass flywheel replacement cost varies not only between car models, but also from city to city and garage to garage. The costs in cities like London, Manchester or Birmingham are always somewhat higher than in the rest of the UK. For this reason, it is always advisable to do a regional price comparison in order to find the best value for money in your area.

You know when you're dead as your brain keeps working, according to new research.
Dr Sam Parnia has studied consciousness after death and examining cardiac arrest cases in Europe and the US.
He said anecdotal evidence has found that people in the first phase of death may still know what is happening around them.
The medical expert noted that people who had recovered from a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest could describe, with purpose, what was happening around them after their hearts stopped beating.
Therefore it means that for a short time people are trapped in their dead body.
"They'll describe watching doctors and nurses working, they'll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them," he said.
Explaining when a patient is officially declared dead, he said: "It's all based on the moment when the heart stops.
"Technically speaking, that's how you get the time of death."
Whether you're a scientist or a spiritualist – the claims can fascinate or frighten, depending on your stance.
It is estimated in the last 60 seconds, around 100 people in the world have died.
There are plenty of sceptics of near-death experiences, who say they are just an illusion of the mind.

Beyonce says that she was nervous about releasing her new album, which has recently been certified platinum, without prior announcement or promotion.
For almost a whole year, Beyonce Knowles' fans complained about how she kept delaying the release of her new album. Later in December, the diva surprised them when releasing her long-awaited new record "Beyonce" without prior warning or promotion.
Arriving on December 13 only on iTunes, the visual album features 14 songs and 17 music videos. In its first three days, the self-titled set sold 617,000 copies in the U.S. and immediately broke iTunes record previously held by Taylor Swift.
"Beyonce" is a huge success as it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200 and gave Bey her biggest sales week, surpassing her "B'Day" which opened with 541,000 back in 2006. The element of surprise sure helped boost the sales of the new album, which has recently been certified platinum. However, Beyonce admitted to being nervous when she dropped the project in such unusual way.
"This is a project that I didn't think was possible, actually," she said in a Q&A session held during a private screening of her visual album at New York's School of Visual Arts Theatre on Saturday, December 21. "I was terrified. I was so scared. I already envisioned like the worst things that could happen. I was really nervous because this was a huge risk."
"I've never done anything so brave in my life. The amount of personal growth from this project isn't like anything I've ever done. I took all of my insecurities, all of my doubts, all of my fears and everything I've learned over the seventeen years and I applied it into this project," she explained.
Beyonce also talked about how she kept the project a secret from hundreds of people who worked with her. "I really, really wanted to surprise people and for them to hear the art in it and have it not be about the hype and promotion," she said.
"I found a team of underdogs, a team of women, a team of people that no one believed in and we worked together," she added. "We stayed up all night and we were progressive and we did not follow the rules. We said, 'Why can't we do it?' And I don't think people believed. I said to so many people, 'I have an idea to do a visual album and I want to...' And they were like, 'uhhhh, okay...' And we did it. Not only did we do it. It's my company and I'm very proud of that."

We’ve been pretty excited about AMC’s series The Walking Dead from director/writer/producer Frank Darabont since it was first announced. Actually, to be perfectly honest, we were reading rhe comics long before the TV series was a possiblity so we go way back. Fortunately, it looks like the TV series creative team is taking the small screen adaptation very seriously. How can I tell? The zombies man, the zombies.
Over at the official blog of the show they’ve posted the first look at the zombie make-up for some of the zombie “Walkers” and I have to say they look pretty cool. Of course, if you’re making a TV show about a zombie apocalypse and the aftermath, your zombies had better look cool. We’ve got a few of the pics here for you as well as video featuring series main man Frank Darabont.
The Walking Dead is based on a comic series created by Robert Kirkman and follows a group of survivors led by police officer Rick Grimes, who search the zombie controlled county for a safe and secure home. Along the way they encounter the worst of what’s left including zombies galore and humans at their worst. Filming on the six episode series begun yesterday in Atlanta with a premiere set for October of this year.
Check out some larger zombie pics and the interview with Frank Darabont after the jump. For more, head on over to the show’s official blog.

The Ministry of Agriculture has raised concerns of a potential food shortage owing to the sudden and extreme weather conditions experienced in the country since of late.
Speaking at a press conference held at the Ministry’s premises on October 04, Minister of Agriculture Mahinda Amaraweera explained that owing to the arid weather conditions faced earlier, nearly 70,000 acres of paddy cultivation, while hundreds of acres of cultivated land which were ready for harvest were also destroyed due to the recent torrential rains.
Speaking further on the vegetable crops that were destroyed in the Southern Province due to the heavy rains, Amaraweera revealed that nearly 15,000 acres of cultivated mung beans which were ready for harvest in Hambantota were destroyed, emphasisng that nearly 40% of Sri Lanka’s mung bean requirement could have been covered with this harvest.
Thus, further emphasising the possible risk of a food shortage within the country, Minister Amaraweera advised the Secretary to the Agriculture Ministry, Gunadasa Samarasinghe, that programmes encouraging the growing of vegetable crops in gardens, and other such programmes to maximise the harvest during the upcoming Maha cultivation season be implemented immediately.
Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture was also requested to submit a report on the total damage caused to crops due to the extreme weather.

Soccer, more commonly known as football, is a 22-player sport, with 11 players from each team. The whole purpose of the game is to shoot the ball in the goal of the opposing side. The goalkeepers from both teams are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands, while the rest of the players use their feet or their heads to move the ball around. By touching the ball with their hands deliberately or unintentionally these players commit a foul.
While the game is called soccer only in America, the word was first used in England in the 1880s as an “-er" abbreviation for "association".
The game is divided into two halves of 45 minutes, after which both teams change their goal sides.
Football governing bodies
-Asia: Asian Football Confederation (AFC)
-Africa: Confederation of African Football (CAF)
-Europe: Union of European Football Associations (UEFA)
-North/Central America & Caribbean: Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF)
-Oceania: Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)
-South America: Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol/Confederação Sul-americana de Futebol (South American Football Confederation; CONMEBOL)
It needs to be mentioned here that FIFA is only body responsible for international competition rules and arrangements of these competitions while it is the International Football Association Board which makes the actual Laws of the Game.
Domestic competitions are arranged by the country’s football governing bodies, which run a league system. Football leagues are very popular, and while these competitions are domestic, they feature many international players from different countries playing together and against each other.
Some of the world’s best players can be seen featuring in Europe’s top five leagues which include, the Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), the Bundesliga (Germany), Serie A (Italy and Ligue 1 (France).

This sport is popular in Canada and the United States of America, where it is simply known as “Hockey”. The game involves 12 players, six from each side, including the goalkeepers. In this game five players from each team move the puck towards the opposition’s goal by skating. Except for the goalkeepers no one else is allowed to touch the puck with hands.

The spring collection is here! Spring is my favorite season of all. I love the fresh colors and all of the flowers waking up! And I also love to use florals as a decorating tool- whether in pillows, wallpaper, or a real bouquet of flowers (I also indulge in faux flowers sometimes!). And florals are ALWAYS a welcome classic in the home- a fresh and lively respite from our tech-heavy world.
So I was thrilled that flowery themes are showing up a lot in this years home decor trends.
Big beautiful florals are on trend- both feminine and boho.
This pillow from my spring collection fits the trend perfectly. Check out my brand new pillows here
Last but not least, go to my home page right now and sign up for my newsletter! You will receive a discount coupon in your inbox good towards any item here on my website. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, Shann
I don't know about you, but with this grey, rainy weather, (and cold too), all I can think about is springtime and warm weather! Ah, how I wish I was in the warm sun right now, outside doing anything- cabin fever has hit here most definitely! So because spring is not here yet, I've decided I'll talk about it and post bright, colorful work to compensate for these drab January days.
I'm working on several new items to hit my website here in the spring- my spring collection. It will consist of colorful, new items as well as items with new themes. Release date is mid February!
Here is a sneak preview!
Color is what I need right now! Also working on new paintings for the studio tour in May. The January days are actually good for that- I can be indoors painting and not wishing I was outside in the sun! Very excited about these new pieces.
I do not have pictures of the studio just yet. We are in the home stretch right now though, after suffering a setback with the hardwood flooring material. Long story short, the hardwood floor planks did not match the stair nosing pieces, so we had to start all over again! New material, new installer... It's set us back about a month, but... as I said we are almost there and the floors are scheduled to go in in mid February. Everything else is excellent and absolutely perfect and what I want. Pictures aren't very exciting anyway right now since it's not furnished. But I have to take some for my records so when I do I will post them!
Until next time,

Perhaps you know whether you'd want to use marijuana to relieve severe pain or nausea. But if you were a doctor, what would you tell patients who asked about taking something that's against federal law? The New England Journal of Medicine poses the question to its readers and on Wednesday presented arguments for and against from doctors. The hypothetical patient is 68-year-old Marilyn, who has cancer and who says the standard medications are not relieving her pain and nausea.

Re "A Prescription for Snooping," Dec. 14: There is virtually no need for a physician to be "detailed" by a drug company representative. There is a publication for physicians, the Medical Letter, that has been published biweekly for the past nearly 50 years. It is the Consumer Reports of drug information for doctors, reviewing virtually all new (and re-reviewing, as needed, older) drugs. It contains what the doctor needs to know about how a drug works, as well as efficacy, safety, some cost information and whatever is known about comparisons to other drugs.

Some things are better left unsaid - and that includes certain aspects of your medical condition, doctors say. In a nationwide survey of roughly 1,800 physicians, 17% had some level of disagreement with the notion that they should “never tell a patient something that is not true.” Not only that, but 11% of those surveyed acknowledged that they had told a patient “something that was not true” in the past year. The survey, led by Lisa Iezzoni, director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, didn't ask doctors for specifics about the type of untruths they told.

A majority of Americans support the idea of allowing terminally ill patients to end their lives with the help of their doctors. For instance, 55% of people questioned for the NPR -Truven Health Analytics Health Poll last year said they were in favor of legalizing physician-assisted suicide. A BBC World News America/Harris Poll from the year before found that 58% believed that physician-assisted suicide should be a legal option for patients who request it. It's one thing to endorse physician-assisted suicide in principle.

I enjoyed the May 25 article on preparing for emergencies abroad ("Preparation Can Save Lives in Health Disasters Abroad," Travel Insider), but was surprised that you didn't include the organization IAMAT (International Assn. for Medical Assistance to Travelers). IAMAT has doctors in virtually every country of the world who not only speak English but have been trained in North America or Britain, so their medical standards are the same as ours.

A baby infected with HIV appears to be free of the virus after doctors at a Long Beach hospital initiated aggressive drug treatment just four hours after birth. A pediatrician at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach and her colleagues disclosed the case Wednesday at a Boston AIDS conference. The newborn girl was initially confirmed to have HIV through blood and spinal fluid tests. However, after six days of treatment with antiretroviral drugs, the virus could no longer be detected, doctors said.

It's an annual rite most women would prefer to skip: a trip to the doctor for a checkup that includes shedding every stitch of clothing, donning a paper gown, placing feet in metal stirrups and enduring a pelvic exam. For a healthy adult woman, the exam typically doesn't hurt. However it can be uncomfortable, cold, embarrassing, time-consuming and, perhaps, unnecessary. Some doctors are beginning to question the need for every woman to have the exam every year. One of them is Dr. Carolyn L. Westhoff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University.

In a statement, the NPC said the system, called Data Breach Notification Management System (DBNMS), was launched on April 20. NPC Circular No. 16-03.
“The DBNMS solves the limitations of manual submission and processing, while increasing public transparency by allowing PICs to access relevant, real-time information about their data breach notification,” the NPC said.
Privacy Commissioner John Henry D. Naga said data privacy efforts “go hand in hand with the adoption of emerging technologies that will revolutionize privacy and data protection. Therefore, NPC continuously adopts and implements digitization of our processes to effectively achieve our goals. »
After the launch of DBNMS, the NPC said it will no longer accept breach notifications and annual security incident reports via email, personal filing, regular mail, licensed courier service and other submission mode. physical.
The commission added that a PIC, including those with multiple branches or offices, can only have one account in the online system.
“If the PIC has other related companies or entities, each company or entity must register in the system under separate accounts. The company or entity is responsible for maintaining and submitting its reporting requirements to the NPC,” he said. Revin Mikhael D. Ochave

SCHENECTADY -- School Superintendent Larry Spring is set for a 2-percent raise in July as the school board considers continuing his four-year contract through June 2023.
The raise will lift Spring’s base salary to over $205,000 as he starts his eighth year in charge of Schenectady schools. With benefits, Spring’s total pay will reach nearly $270,000 next school year.
The school board is scheduled to vote on the contract extension at Wednesday night’s regular meeting.
School board President John Foley on Tuesday highlighted Spring’s efforts to increase the district’s state funding and establish programs to address students’ myriad academic, behavioral and health needs.
“He has increased funds, he has increased positions and services to students,” Foley said. “There is a lot of success there, and I think the contract basically is saying we want to go forward with this work.”
The district, which under Spring has argued aggressively for increased state funding, received over $7 million in new state aid under this year’s state budget. The funding increase, the largest in the region, helped the district add dozens of new staff positions in next year’s district budget.
“I am pleased to present a 2019-2020 budget that significantly boosts program and services to students, aims at closing the opportunity gap and brings the tax levy to the lowest it has been since 2010,” Spring wrote in his annual budget message. “While we are still significantly underfunded by New York state, I am encouraged that the priority seems to be shifting toward funding the neediest school districts.”
Foley said initiatives like the district’s general education continuum, which aims to support struggling student who don’t qualify for special education, and its “trauma sensitive” approach are key to improving student outcomes in the long run.
While district officials in recent months have noted positive signs among the district’s youngest readers and improved class passage rates at the high school, efforts to strengthen the district’s core academics have yet to translate to higher graduation rates and state test scores.
Schenectady’s district-wide June 2018 graduation rate reached 58 percent, up slightly from June 2017 but down from 62 percent in June 2016. The district improved that graduation rate to 61 percent in August 2018. In January, Spring said he expected last year’s graduating class to mark a low point as he saw signs this year’s class would usher in improving graduation rates.
The district’s low graduation was highlighted by challengers in last month’s school board election as an issue of critical importance. Foley on Tuesday acknowledged the graduation rates were below what the board wants to see.
“Under 70 percent is not a good rate, I’m not happy with that rate,” Foley said Tuesday, adding that he wanted to see what was driving the graduation rate and better understand whether students were actually mastering academic content.
While some of the district’s schools have improved enough in recent years to make their way off the state’s struggling school list, six of the district’s 11 elementary schools were included on the state’s new list of schools in need of comprehensive support and improvement, an indication the schools were among the bottom 5 percent of school performance in the state.
The board had raised Spring’s salary by 2 percent in 2016 and 2017 but didn’t provide a raise last year when it agreed to extend his contract for another year. The contract up for board approval this week also raises Spring’s annual travel stipend by $1,000, bringing the stipend to $4,000 to cover business-related travel both locally and out of town.
In the coming months, the board appears headed toward establishing explicit long-term goals for the district for the first time in recent years as the board considers adopting a proposed strategic plan, which outlines the district’s broad vision and priorities. The strategic plan, if approved, promises to guide the district’s work over the next five years.

Tonsils are small masses of tissue located in the back of the mouth that ward off infection. However, often tonsils become infected themselves in a condition known as Tonsillitis.
When tonsils become infected, they become very painful, swollen, and red. If they are repeatedly infected, a tonsillectomy, the removal of your tonsils, is recommended. DoctorFullName performs tonsil surgery for patients in PracticeRegion.
What do the tonsils do?
The primary purpose of the tonsils is to trap and destroy bacteria and viruses. Your immune system will not have any problems if your tonsils are removed. In fact, removing your tonsils may make the job of your immune system easier if frequent infections are an issue.
What are the symptoms of tonsillitis?
- Heavy snoring
- Constant mouthbreathing
- Sore throats
- Poor voice quality
- Discomfort of pain when swallowing
- Ear infections
- Swollen glands in the neck
- Breath odor
What is tonsil surgery like?
Initially, tonsillitis may be treated with antibiotics. Surgery is considered after you and your doctor have determined that a tonsillectomy is appropriate for you. The patient will receive general anesthesia and the procedure takes 20 – 30 minutes.
DoctorName performs tonsil surgery by removing the tonsils through the mouth. Sometimes during tonsillectomy, the adenoids, also part of the lymphatic system, may be removed as well. After a period of recovery that can take up to 5 hours, patients return home on the same day. You may stay in the hospital overnight and go home the next day, depending on your condition. You will have a sore throat and be uncomfortable for about seven to ten days. Typical recovery may take several days to one week.

Leon Michels is a talented man. Inbetween working with a who’s who of talent as a musician, including a brief spell as part of Wu-Tang’s touring band, he started making music under his own steam with the express intention that it be sampled by hip-hop producers. This worked, with songs by the likes of Jay Z & Beyoncé, Travis Scott and Don Toliver all using his work for their songs. These short snippets have expanded as time has gone on, until his recent album Adult Themes became Michels vision of an as yet unwritten movie soundtrack – part David Axelrod part Francois de Roubaix, with a touch of Moondog jazz thrown in for good measure, brushed up with his own magic into something that brings the funk to cinematic soul. Not forgetting that he co-founded the brilliant Big Crown Records in 2006.
After falling for his single Life of Pablo recently, we wanted to find out a little more, so we caught up with Leon to ask him about the album, the single, the way he works and more
Hey thanks for talking to us – firstly, how are you coping with lockdown? Has it affected any plans?
It’s taking some time for me and my family to figure out how to deal with it but i think we’re doing pretty good considering the situation. I haven’t really been able to make music since it’s started. I’ve been finishing stuff i had going before the lockdown but trying to create something from scratch has proven very hard. I’m sure once this is over it’ll come pouring out, but right now i’m just focusing on my family and I’m gardening a lot.
Life of Pablo was one of our favourite tracks of the year so far. Can you tell us a bit about that? Did it come together in the stufio easily? Were you looking for a particular vibe or sound?
That started as a jam between me and Homer Steinweiss who plays drums on the song. That’s probably the oldest song on the album. I’ve had that one for about three years or so and luckily it fit with the other stuff. Once it was recorded i decided to put my newborn son’s cry at the beginning because the main part of the song has this euphoric feel which sounded i imagined my son Pablo’s life was. At the time, my sons life consisted of breast feeding and shitting which sounds pretty euphoric to me so I called it Life Of Pablo.
And its from your album Adult Themes – Tell us more about that?
My friend Eothen played me a record by Francois de Roubaix called Daughters of Darkness and it completely blew my mind. It is soundtrack to a Belgian slasher flick but the arrangements and vibe of the record are incredible intense. Soundtrack records really don’t follow any traditional form because it is music meant for a visual. But when you listen to it on its own it makes it more interesting because it’s so unconventional. All soundtracks have to do is convey or enhance a mood. I knew i wanted to make music with that sort of approach. Less about writing catchy melodies and well-structured songs and more about creating moods that inspire some sort of narrative that’s different for every listener.
Who did you work with on the record?
The main group of guys on the record are Nick Movshon (bass), Homer Steinweiss ( Drums), Paul Spring (Guitar), and Michael Leonhart(Trumpet, arrangement). A lot of people i usually work with like Thomas Brenneck, Shannon Wise, Marco benevento, and Ray Mason are on the the record too. Some of the songs I did by myself, namely the Adult Themes, but it was a very collaborative record. Most all the songs started as a jam session.
As far as the title, I thought the music sounded “adult” whatever that means. I also like that Adult Themes sounds sort of provocative.
How do you work in the studio when making records? What processes you go through?
It’s always different. for example with Enfant, i had those chords written and the basic mood figured out, and then Shannon wrote the melody she’s singing on the spot. A song like Villa, was four guys in the room with headphones on looking at each other like, “What should we do next.” I don’t remember who came up with what, all i know is that once we decided we were gonna record a song, we had Villa 40 minutes later.
Do you demo them first, and then work them up?
I’m not big on demos because i inevitably get attached to them. If i’m gonna write a song I’d rather just have mics set up and record it for real.
What’s your favourite track on the record, or are they like children – you couldn’t possibly single one out?
I like Kill The Lights cause i’v never done anything like that before. I used ableton to program some of the drums and instruments. that one always makes me feel kind of emotional way when i listen to it. I also really like Munecas. I like how the super dark and emotive chords mixed with the really heavy trombone set up with mood thats really somber and then when the kids comes in it turns it into this weird mix of hopeful but still really sad, at least to my ears. The sound of kids singing is the best no matter what type if music.
Difficult one to talk about, but any plans for the rest of the year? Would you like to get out and about, maybe play some dates etc?
One day at a time, I hope to play out live in the near future but mostly I hope to get back in the studio with my friends. I also have another record I recorded that will be coming out in fall called Yeti Season and we did a record with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib that doesnt have a date yet but is finished.
Adult Themes is out now on Big Crown Records.

APC and men on Police uniform shut down Rivers judiciary and destroyed properties worth millions of naira in the State.
Hundreds of youths suspected to be members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction loyal to the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, with the aid of the police shut down the Rivers State judiciary Friday morning.
The youths stormed the judiciary as early as 6.45am and locked the gates of the High Court Complex, beating up both lawyers and litigants who tried to gain access into the complex while the police who came in several vans watched.
The Chief Security Officer of the complex, Mr. Douglas, told THISDAY that the youths locked the gates by 6.45am and beat up several persons.
THISDAY gathered that the move by the thugs was to forestall the court from sitting so that it would not grant an injunction sought by Senator Magnus Abe to stop the local government congress of the APC slated for Saturday.
While the police looked on, the youths padlocked the gates and chased the judges, lawyers and litigants away and laid siege to the complex.
However, the incident took a turn for the worse when another group of youths suspected to be members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and backed by another set of policemen stormed the place to open the gates.
Violence erupted as both set of youths attacked one other with bottles and other dangerous weapons and in the process destroyed some structures within the complex.
The police shot sporadically into the air and assisted to chase away the PDP group while the other group relocked the gates. The police also used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
