The Natch'l Blues (Pure Pleasure)Taj Mahal's second album, recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like She Caught The Katy And Left Me A Mule To Ride and The Cuckoo -- the latter, in particular, features crunchy electric and acoustic guitars and Gary Gilmore playing his bass almost like a lead instrument, like a bluesman's answer to John Entwistle. Most notable, however, may be the two original closing numbers, You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry) and Ain't That A Lot Of Love, which offer Taj Mahal working in the realm of soul and treading onto Otis Redding territory. This is particularly notable on You Don't Miss Your Water, which achieves the intensity of a gospel performance and comes complete with a Stax/Volt-style horn arrangement by Jesse Ed Davis that sounds more like the real thing than the real thing. Ain't That a Lot of Love, by contrast, is driven by a hard electric guitar sound and a relentless bass part that sounds like a more urgent version of the bassline from the Spencer Davis Group's Gimme Some Lovin'. This LP reissue includes a trio of bonus tracks: a faster-paced rendition of The Cuckoo with a more prominent lead guitar, the slow electric lament New Stranger Blues featuring some good mandolin-style playing on the guitar, and the rocking instrumental Things Are Gonna Work Out Fine, which is a killer showcase for Davis' lead electric guitar and Taj Mahal's virtuosity on the harmonica.

About Pure Pleasure
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records.
During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s - or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle.
We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production.
To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.

LP 2At a time when the music world is saturated with more bands than ever, Restorations are a refreshing change of pace: an act who undeniably embody the DIY spirit but also bring along a real breadth of musical knowledge and an unlikely set of influences that somehow manage to work perfectly together.
Formed out of the ashes of the long-running Philadelphia rock act Jena Berlin, Restorations sees the band-vocalist/guitarists Jon Loudon, Dave Klyman and Ben Pierce joining forces with drummer Carlin Brown and bassist Dan Zimmerman, crafting an album that transcends punk rock and picks up where they're extremely well-received self-titled LP left off.
LP2 is a unique blend of indie rock, punk rock and focused psychedelia that can only come from spending a decade honing their skills organically. After producing their music largely on their own the band linked up with close friend Jon Low (Local Natives, Twin Sister, Kurt Vile) at Philadelphia's Miner Street Studios to create an album that captures the unbridled energy, sonic grandeur, and sheer volume of the band's live performances.
From the driving, anthemic vibe of "The New Old" to the inventive indie rock of "The Plan," LP2 is a remarkably diverse album, which makes sense when you consider how varied the members' respective tastes are. "I think the influences for us are a little broader than a lot of bands because we don't have one central songwriter," Loudon explains, citing everyone from the classic punk acts, classic rock, metal, drone and noise. "Over the years we've become more comfortable with trying stranger things and odder combinations to see what works," he continues. "The general rule is, if everyone is into it then we just go for it. We really carried that spirit into these songs."
Lyrically, LP2 sees Loudon once again collecting his own vignettes and pairing them with the
group's music to create a narrative that isn't linear but is instead as vast as the instrumentation that supports it. "The theme of this band is boredom and repetition and focusing on little tiny moments and that type of thing, so this record is just a collection of those stories," he explains. Sharing these stories is what lies at the core of the band. Restorations aren't looking to be the biggest band, they just want to continue to create music, evolve, and bring their musical stories all over the world.
"I feel like if we tried to set a real goal with this band it would be kind of pointless because we've been doing it long enough where if you think you're getting to a certain level then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment," Klyman explains. "So it's better to just see what happens, which is how we've always approached this band." Whatever ends up happening, there's no question that with these songs as a vehicle, Restorations is headed somewhere uncharted and they invite you to come along for the ride.1. D

[A Place to Bury Strangers] sculpts something unexpectedly elegant out of the type of din you'd expect to
hear on an airport tarmac - SPIN MAGAZINE
Hypnotic and forward-looking, A Place to Bury Strangers sound more vital than ever"- ALLMUSIC
A real sonic adventure that never relinquishes its grip on structure, despite the fact that the guitar effects
pedals are practically stomped into the floor- POPMATTERS
That's the most intense fear and feeling-when you go to a show and you're actually scared, says Oliver
Ackermann, guitarist and frontman of Brooklyn trio A Place To Bury Strangers.
Or you can palpably feel the danger in the music, adds bassit Dion Lunadon, Like it's going to fall apart
at any moment and the players doing it are so in the moment they don't give a shit about anything else.
They're just going for it. It's a gutter kinda vibe; everything about it is icky and evil and dangerous.
The same could be said the band's fourth album, Transfixiation. Rather than fixate on the minute details
like they may have done in the past, the group, rounded out by drummer Robi Gonzalez, trust their
instincts and try to keep things as pure as possible. Music is much more exhilarating when it's
unpredictable even on repeat plays, and this is very much an unpredictable record. Gonzalez makes his
recording debut with the band here, and it's obvious that he's helped pushed the band's recordings closer
to the level of their infamous live shows.
The one thing we have in common is this fire when we're playing, adds Gonzalez. I don't know; it's real

Welcome OblivionIncludes a Cd Version of the Entire Album
Anybody who paid attention to Trent Reznor's post-Nine Inch Nails project How to Destroy Angels' two EPs would not be shocked by the coolly meditative nature of their full-length debut, Welcome Oblivion, but if there happens to be a NIN fan coming to this 2013 LP cold -- odds aren't great, but stranger things have happened -- they're likely to be shocked by how aggressive this album isn't. This isn't to say Welcome Oblivion is an ambient album or a record consumed with solipsistic navel-gazing. Rather, How to Destroy Angels frees Reznor to explore quiet, intricately textured territory with the assistance of longtime collaborator Atticus Ross and vocalist Mariqueen Maandig, who also is Reznor's wife. Given Reznor's close connections with Maandig and Ross, it's possible some listeners may view this as a Trent vehicle where his bandmates are nothing more than sidemen, but How to Destroy Angels is a true collaboration, with Reznor and Ross sculpting the tracks to fit Maandig's soft, insinuating tones. At times, the interplay recalls vintage Tricky stripped of menace. HTDA certainly has drama and flirts with ominous overtones, but ultimately they're not a threatening lot; they're enjoying the process of creation too much to threaten. Nothing stays stationary on Welcome Oblivion -- even the quietest moments have things percolating in the background, and when a torrent of sound is unleashed, it isn't a mere deluge; there is definition, the empty spaces accentuating either the noisy squiggles or the shimmering, insinuating melodies. And make no mistake, Welcome Oblivion does have its share of melody, as this isn't merely a collection of sounds: there are songs here, some as tight as the defiantly new wave How Long?, and others as elliptical as the skeletal Ice Age -- each are distinguished by their exquisite details and slow, ingratiating melodies. Welcome Oblivion is not an album that comes on forcefully, and by many measures, it's the most measured record of Reznor's career, yet it's also his most melodic, showing that this former angry young man has a design to grow old gracefully.-- Allmusic.comSide A

The Jeff Beck/Friday Music 180 Gram Audiophile Series Continues!
Jeff Beck's 1968 Masterwork Album - First Time Authorized Audiophile Vinyl
Stunning Gatefold Cover With Rare Photo Of The Jeff Beck Group
Mastered From The Epic Records Stereo Tapes By Joe Reagoso And Manufactured At R.T.I.
Jeff Beck is truly a worldwide gift to rock music and guitar enthusiasts everywhere. There will never be another Jeff
Beck, a guitar genius who has enthralled generations of aspiring musicians and music lovers with the many fine recordings
he has made for the past five decades.
Celebrating five decades in the music business, this English native initially captivated millions of kids in the 60's with
his first recordings with The Yardbirds. He drove the rockers mad with his famous guitar licks and dynamic presence on the
stage. As individual members of the band started solo projects, Jeff Beck began the rudiments of The Jeff Beck Group with
his friends Jimmy Page, Nicky Hopkins, Keith Moon and John Paul Jones and threw down the mega instrumental Beck's
Bolero. This track along new tracks recorded at Abbey Road with Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Nicky Hopkins and Mick Waller
would serve up his very first solo smash album Truth.
Kicking things off with the hard hitting Shapes of Things, this Yardbirds' revisit takes on a whole new approach with
the soulful vocals of Rod Stewart paired with the guitar antics of Jeff Beck. A match made in heaven, these two pioneers of
the British blues scene carry on with more masterful workouts on such fare as their hits Rock My Plimsoul, Let Me Love You
and their inspiring tour de force Blues De Luxe. Willie Dixon's I Ain't Superstitious and You Shook Me, plus their brilliant Tim
Rose cover of Morning Dew along with the brilliance of Beck's Bolero made Truth the revered masterpiece that it still is today.
Noted for his stellar guitar work, pretty much introducing new ways of using technique, distortion and effects to a
whole new generation of guitar players, Jeff Beck's Truth is truly a primer for a ton of rock and blues artists.
Friday Music is no stranger to the music of the legendary Jeff Beck, his arsenal of fine recordings already on our label.
That is why we are so very proud to announce another fine installment in The Jeff Beck/Friday Music 180 Gram Audiophile
Vinyl Series with his first legendary masterpiece Truth.
Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Jeff Beck, Yes, Deep Purple) for the first time on audiophile vinyl from the Columbia
stereophonic tapes, Jeff Beck's Truth will truly become one of the most important and historical 180 Gram Audiophile
Vinyl titles in quite some time.
To celebrate Jeff Beck's five decades in the music business, we further enhance this limited anniversary edition with a
stunning gatefold cover featuring the original artwork elements as well as a classic inside gatefold rare photo of the original
Jeff Beck Group with Jeff, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood and Mick Waller.

HomeThe Helm are no strangers to the Hex Records roster. They released their initial 7 with the label before releasing their first full length with California mainstay Indecision Records. Two national tours later The Helm found themselves at an impasse, bringing in a new rhythm section and taking a break to focus on getting the new members acclimated to the vicious sounds which they excel at. After getting comfortable and writing some new songs Hex records once again approached them to rejoin the label, which they were happy to do. The result is Home, the new full length recorded by Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes) that finds the band taking new twists and turns to their tired and true gritty hardcore attack. Moving beyond the simple His Hero Is Gone comparisons and taking cues from fellow Northwest noisemongers like Kiss It Goodbye this crew makes things interesting for the noise-damaged ear, yet still makes a lot of room for 2-minute anthems of mistrust for a rotten world.

InternationalTo put it bluntly, Lust For Youth's International is unrecognizable as a Lust For
Youth record on first listen. Hannes Norrvide's previous solo albums under the
Lust for Youth moniker have been described as "dark, cold, atonal, tormented,
lonely, and lower than lo-fi." The approach on International has shifted dramatically. Writing as a three-piece now, with longtime live collaborator Loke Rahbek
and new band member Malthe Fisher, who produces and plays guitar, LFY have
entered a completely new territory. The result is stunning. International is a
buoyant synth masterpiece in the vein of early Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys
and New Order. Norrvide's work has always had pop sensibilities buried deep
in the reverb, but the hooks are front and center on International, and there is
nothing lo-fi about it.
That is not to say the record is without substance. There are still some deeply
introspective moments as well, notably the instrumental passages "Ultras" and
"Basorexia," which evoke the morning-after loneliness that a lot of earlier LFY
work has explored. According to Rahbek, "the record sort of happened by
chance. Hannes and I had talked about recording some stuff together for the
fun of it, and Malthe offered to help us record. Initially, we were just going to do
a song or two, but within a few weeks it was obvious that it was a combination
that worked. The period was strange, terrible things happened in everyone's life
outside of the studio, so as a result many hours were spent in the studio, like a
"As the title indicates," Rahbek adds, "the record deals with the rootless, sometimes almost inhuman, nature of traveling and touring. Hotel rooms and
strangers' beds, drugs and clubs, and the impossibility of living a regular life." It
may be an irregular life, but nothing could suit them better. International is Norrvide's magnum opus, and with Fisher's production and Rahbek's co-writing
skills, the potential this band has always shown has been fully realized.1. Epoetin Alfa

The Bo Diddley/Friday Music 180 Gram Audiophile Series Begins!
Bo Diddley's Masterwork Album!
First Time Official Audiophile Vinyl - Stunning First Time Gatefold Cover
Mastered From The Authorized Chess Records Mono Tapes By Joe Reagoso
Bo Diddley (Elias McDaniel) was truly an American original. There will never be another Bo Diddley nor anyone in the music
industry who could influence generations upon generations of aspiring rock 'n rollers like Bo Diddley has and continues to this
day, even years after his short time on earth.
Celebrating six decades in the music business, this Mississippian native initially captivated millions of kids in the fifties
with his first recordings like Bo Diddley and Say Man. He drove the rockers mad with his famous guitar riffs and boogie beat,
filled with poetic lyrics and a thrilling presence on the stage.
Bringing his original "Bo Diddley Beat" to Chess Records in early 1955, the Chicago based label and the pioneer rocker hit
a goldmine immediately with his arsenal of tunes that he presented to Phil and Leonard Chess. A lot of these great songs became
top charting singles which culminated in his masterwork album Go! Bo Diddley.
Kicking things off with one of his finest smash hits Cracking Up, Bo roars through a treasure trove of 11 more champions
which made this one of the most important and emulated albums of all time. The album features classic gems like his classics
Dearest Darling, Say Man, Don't Let It Go and The Clock Struck Twelve. Noted for his stellar guitar work, pretty much introducing his Bo Diddley Beat riff to a whole new generation of guitar players, Go! Bo Diddley was truly a primer for a ton of rock and

It's AliveSeattle's La Luz recorded their debut EP, Damp Face, in a small trailer on a hot August day. But barring the inevitable "no-AC-in-the-van" summer tour calamity, La Luz runs cool. Their brand of coolness isn't about distance or affect; it's a mood, and-sue me, but I'm about to totally rip off Zelda Fitzgerald: Something about this music vibrates to the dusky, dreamy smell of dying moons and shadows. So yeah, that kind of cool.
Still, La Luz's live shows, more than most these days, are about connection. It's evident that the four ridiculously talented ladies on stage are not only playing music with each other, but for each other. And they engage their audience as well. Like a proper punk band-which they are not- they give you shit for not dancing. They convey a gritty self-possession, a sense that they've been there and back again. And, like the expert, but seemingly effortless, surf licks and meandering bass lines that rise and fall throughout their songs, their mocking is playful and dreamy and disarming enough to get most of the crowd (and sometimes the keyboard player) dancing down the center line of a soul train.
But as any half-assed Freudian will tell you, there can be no meaningful connection without first weathering some dark and lonely times. Here comes the chilly part: What makes La Luz stand out-and stand out fast-the band has only been playing together for a year and people took notice almost immediately-is that this is a band that embodies that most elusive slant on the human condition: longing, and the fleeting relief that tags alongside deep desire.
In Spanish, La Luz means "light" and that's the perfect thing to evoke when your songs give the illusion of veering in the opposite direction. But lift out most any lyric-which is a good excuse to give a closer listen to the delicate, four-part harmonies that are fast becoming the band's signature-and you'll find that the aches and pains of love and loss, of living in a world where no foothold is ever a promise-all this is delivered with a nuanced dose of perfectly timed exhilaration, like the whole thing might just be worth it in the end.
Last spring, La Luz returned to that steamy trailer park to record It's Alive - the much-anticipated follow up to Damp Face - with their friend and engineer Johnny Goss. From the first get-psyched drum roll and eerie chords of "Sure As Spring", the dinged-up pop gem that opens the album, the rest moves like a slow drive on a dangerous road, slinking and bending as the terrain shifts. On "What Good Am I?", the lead vocals, and the swirl of harmonies that surround it, recall the Spartan haze of Mazzy Star's misty-eyed super hit. Smack in the middle is the title track. "It's Alive" is a jangly rocker with a spooky refrain, oodles of ooohs, and a marauding narrative that nails down the misty logic of the rest of the album. Two instrumentals, "Sunstroke" and "Phantom Feelings", showcase the band's beach jam surf chops, and fall perfectly between the chilled out heartache that surrounds them.
Imagine all of the Shangri-La's trying, precariously, to balance on top of Link Wray's surfboard.
The kind of sweet surf rock with a touch of melancholy that should be the soundtrack to the slow-dancing-at-prom scene in every teen movie.

ImpressionsThe Los Angeles trio Music Go Music began humbly, recording songs in their spare time and playing them for friends. A few songs posted online caught the ears of a surprising number of strangers, who implored the band to make a go of it. They eventually, and reluctantly, agreed to this, and before long the show had been officially taken on the road; MGM was being buzzed about, flying back and forth across the the Atlantic, touring around with Glasgow rockers Franz Ferdinand, and performing for the most discerning of music lovers in Moscow, London, LA, and points in between. Their debut album Expressions was a warmly received dance-pop-prog excursion that drew apt comparisons to Abba, Kate Bush, Bonnie Tyler, and Giorgio Moroder. After things settled down and they got back to their workaday lives, they began chipping away at a new record. In the course of several years, one or two songs at a time, 'Impressions' took shape. By now, the world has swayed in ways that seemed unlikely back at the band's dawning. When their first EPs began coming out in 2007, MGM was an anomaly; a real band capable of crafting a steady stream of hook-dense A-sides, who played honest-to-goodness live dance music. This time around, of course, they're sending a record out into a world that has turned just enough to embrace the kind of analog disco that MGM has been making for years. While remaining unambiguously pop, Impressions sees the group's aural sheen and careworn elegance joined to deeper grooves and oblique sonic turns. Never before, though, has an unhinged recounting of love won and lost been so blatantly entertaining. It's an assured, kinetic journey through light and dark, calm and chaos, with nothing less than pop transcendence waiting on the other side.1. Love Is All I Can Hear

Spreading RumoursSpreading Rumors is Grouplove's second full-length album.
Hannah Hooper met Christian Zucconi late one evening on the lower east side of Manhattan. They had both been living in New York for years and had never crossed paths before. But from that night forward the two could hardly be pulled apart. Soon after their connection Hooper was invited to an art residency in Greece on the island of Crete and Hooper insists without any hesitation she invited Zucconi to join her on this journey. Seriously, we had only known one another for a few days but are both so inspired and alive when we are together that going to Greece seemed like a magical and natural thing to do recalls Zucconi.
On Crete, in a small remote mountain village, Hooper and Zucconi met the members of their future band Grouplove a year before it was officially formed. Sean Gadd, a natural songwriter and guitar player, born and bred in London instantly bonded with the two eccentric New Yorkers. Their relationship became apparent through the music they were making day in and day out. Andrew Wessen, a pro surfer and musician from Los Angeles and his childhood friend Ryan Rabin, an accomplished drummer and producer, were also at the residency and quickly joined in with the musical trio. These five musicians make up the members of what we now know as Grouplove.
Like all good things, the summer and the residency came to an end and the five friends scattered back to their homes all over the globe. With Sean in London, Christian and Hannah in Brooklyn and Ryan and Andrew in Los Angeles Grouplove was faced with the challenge of what to do now. We all understood how rare it is for five strangers to feel as close as family and create passionate music together. We couldn't just return to Brooklyn and let the music we all made fade into a memory of that summer we had in Greece, explains Zucconi. Everyone pulled their funds together and Sean, Christian and Hannah made their way to Ryan Rabin's studio in LA to record their album. We seriously had the best time of our lives doing that record, says Zucconi. And the result is an incredibly special album where soaring harmonies coupled with sweeping anthems lead you through their powerful journey. Like the members of Grouplove, their music is diverse in influence and style but bonded together by an undeniably creative kinship.
Their experience back together and recording together was so potent that Hooper and Zucconi packed up their lives in Brooklyn and moved to LA to live and play their music.
We never could have dreamt this up says Zucconi, but at the same time we're not at all surprised - GROUPLOVE is meant to be. Our story a testament to fate, and our music is something we are ready to share.1. I'm With You

Tyler Bryant And The ShakedownA Band On The Verge Of Rock N Roll Greatness!
After carving out a fervent fan base and drawing widespread critical applause with their heady, high-voltage brand of guitar-driven rock, shooting from both hip and heart, Nashville's Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown find themselves at the epicenter of an advanced rock 'n' roll adventure that continues to take them around the world, appearing at some of the biggest venues along the way
Starting with a guest spot on AC/DC's 'Rock or Bust' World Tour in 2016, the quartet - Caleb Crosby on drums, Noah Denney on bass and backing vocals, Graham Whitford on guitar and Texas-born Tyler himself on vocals and guitar, a musician immersed in blues music from an early age - have continued to share events and stages with some of rock's most legendary names, including Guns N' Roses, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Aerosmith, Deep Purple and ZZ Top.
At the same time as projecting their music into stadiums, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - The Shakedown to friends and fans - have continued to build their name and reputation as a headline act, and indeed it was backstage after a sold-out, bill-topping show in London (June 2017) that the band signed their new deal with Snakefarm Records - the most immediate and exciting result being an 11-track, self-titled studio album set to be the label's inaugural release, with November 3rd locked in as the day of the launch
"So many great things have happened over the past few months," exclaims Caleb, "and it's all just so surreal. I remember seeing that Guns N' Roses were playing two stadium shows in London on June 16th and 17th earlier this year, which are birthdays for Noah and myself, back to back, and I said wouldn't it be amazing if we appeared on both of those shows and we did!"
Rewinding back to 2008, Tyler moved to Nashville by himself at the ripe age of 17 to write songs and form a band. It was here he met Caleb, and together they put together what would become The Shakedown
"The instant we started playing, I knew there was something special," reflects Caleb. "We played our first show a week later and haven't stopped since!"
The next addition to the ranks was Graham Whitford, a young guitarist from Boston, Massachusetts. Introduced to Tyler as the guy who could put him out of a job, it was clear from the start that Whitford was a force to be reckoned with. As soon as Tyler heard him play, he asked him to uproot and move to Nashville to join the band.
All that was needed now was the right bassist: enter Noah Denney, who instantly added a whole new dimension to The Shakedown's sound. As Tyler recalls, "his bass sound scared me and he brought an edge and an attitude to the band that we didn't even know we needed."
2013's 'Wild Child' album announced the quartet's arrival with a bang as they logged time on the road with the likes of Aerosmith, Jeff Beck & ZZ Top, while receiving the endorsement of Guitar World, Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Times, Nylon, Interview Magazine and Paste. Taking over TV, they lit up the stage at both Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and AXS Live.
Following the release of 'The Wayside' EP (2015, produced by Grammy Award winner Vance Powell), the boys crisscrossed the country alongside Billy Gibbons & AC/DC on that celebrated 2016 run. April 2017 found them without a label and only a month out from joining Guns N' Roses on a European tour
"We had just decided to self-produce a record completely on our own," says Tyler. "I'll never forget driving home that morning and getting a call from our manager saying, 'You wanna go back to Europe with Guns N Roses?' That was a great kick-start to the first day of tracking."
So they hunkered down and set about writing & recording their second full-length album, with John Fields (Soul Asylum, Paul Westerberg) coming on board to handle the mix. Blending a sense of history with a youthful, energetic heartbeat, this anticipated outing features a host of brand new tracks, some of which have become staples of the live set. It also stands as the start of a relationship with the newly-launched Snakefarm label.
Housed within the global infrastructure of Spinefarm Records (a UMG label), the Snakefarm brand will provide a targeted home for international artists, both established and new, from the increasingly buoyant roots rock world - music based on authenticity and emotion, under-pinned by core values and beliefs.
In this respect, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - who can lay claim to a fast-growing international presence, with major UK festivals such as Download, Ramblin' Man and British Summer Time already under their belt, alongside headline shows plus guest appearances with Nashville neighbors The Cadillac Three - are a flagship representation; what's more, in 'Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown' they've delivered a genuine genre-defying labour of love, a varied and infectious statement shot through with passion, pride and a welcome dash of glamour.
"This is the definitive Shakedown record as of now, and that's why we decided it should be self-titled," explains a fired-up Tyler. "It's the definitive Shakedown record due to the fact there were no other cooks in the kitchen. We put so much energy into writing and recording each song. It's not just a guitar album; it's a song album, and I'm proud to hang my hat on this one."
The first single / video, 'Heartland', introduces Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown with a one-two punch of gritty guitars and soulful vocals before slipping into a hypnotic bridge punctuated by airy clean guitars. Tyler sings, "There's a slow beat in the heartland, going down in the quicksand, stack 'em up and watch the cards fall, if it happens to one, then it happens to all".
"It's no secret that there's crazy stuff going on all over the world right now. There's madness all around and people are constantly picking sides. Every night when the Shakedown takes the stage, I'm amazed that music brings people together. Nobody is thinking about what side they're on when they're singing at the top of their lungs next to a complete stranger. I thought maybe through music I could remind myself and our TBSD family that when one person falls, the rest of us do, too. I wanna get together with a bunch of folks and sing that sentiment because it's one I strongly believe in.
Elsewhere, 'Backfire' struts along on a stomping drum groove driven by thick distortion with lyrics "about pulling the short end of the straw and feeling vengeful". Then there's 'Aftershock'. Hinging on hummable riffing, the track simmers at a steady swamp crawl before the Sabbathian refrain.
"That's a tune about feeling the effects of a situation long after it's come and gone.
As Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown spend 2017 lighting up stages with the likes of Guns N' Roses (again), The Who & Alice Cooper - as well as making their first appearance at Rock In Rio - this new album sees them fully realize their vision with a sound that resounds above the bleachers, plus a collective desire to keep the entertainment flag fully unfurled
"I want people to put this on and literally escape," Tyler leaves off. "I hope they feel free. That's what rock 'n' roll makes me feel. You don't have to think about your bills or any of the other things that have the power to bring you down when you've got your fist up in the air, your eyes closed and you're lost in the music. Angus Young told me, 'You've got to make the audience think you're taking them on a journey, and they'll go with you. If you believe it, they will too'. I believe it with this record."1. Heartland

STRANGER THINGS is the breakout Netflix original series set in 1983 Indiana where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. A love letter to the '80s supernatural classics that captivated a generation, STRANGER THINGS stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Matthew Modine, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton. The series is now streaming on Netflix globally.
Formed in 2009, the prolific Austin, TX experimental synth quartet S U R V I V E have released two full-lengths and numerous EPs / singles since their inception, including recent contributions to the soundtrack for the acclaimed indie horror film The Guest. Additionally, two of the group's members recently scored the soundtrack for the first season of STRANGER THINGS, launched this summer on Netflix. S U R V I V E has appeared at esteemed festivals across the US including Moogfest, Levitation Fest, Fun Fun Fun, Beserktown, Day in The Desert, Decibel, etc. and have played alongside acts like Goblin, John Maus, Tame Impala, Lightning Bolt, This Will Destroy You, A Place To Bury Strangers, Max Cooper, and many others; Noisey even called their live show ''transcendental.''
Now, S U R V I V E have completed self recording their second full length via their home studios, which will see a September 30 via Relapse. The synth quartet's sophomore full length and Relapse debut is a dark, sweeping exercise in analog synth mastery. The pulsating, 9-song instrumental release showcases immense diversity between tracks - RR7349's compositions range from grim tom-tom thunder to space-age epics, pairing tense plodding grooves with meditative ambience and driving, rhythmic beats. Inspired by IDM and horror scores alike, RR7349 is simultaneously ominous and hopeful; tense and relaxed; percussive and melodic. A unique addition to the Relapse discography, and unquestionably S U R V I V E's best work to date.

Chuck Berry's Landmark First Album - Includes 3 Bonus Tracks
First Time Exclusive Audiophile Vinyl And Stunning First Time Gatefold Cover
Mastered From The Authorized Chess Records' Mono Tapes By Joe Reagoso
Chuck Berry is an American original. There will never be another Chuck Berry, nor anyone in the music industry who could influence
generations upon generations of aspiring rock 'n rollers like Chuck has.
Celebrating six decades in the music business, this East St. Louis native initially captivated millions of kids in the fifties with his first
recordings like Maybellene and Roll Over Beethoven. He drove the rockers mad with his famous guitar licks, poetic lyrics and dynamic
presence on the stage.
Introduced to Chess Records by fellow blues rocker Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry hit a goldmine immediately with his arsenal of tunes
that he presented to Phil and Leonard Chess. These great songs culminated into a handful of top charting singles which led to his first
legendary album After School Session.
Kicking things off with one of the monumental rock and roll records of all time School Day (Ring Ring Goes The Bell), Chuck Berry
roars through a bevy of 11 more home runs which made this one of the most important and emulated albums of all time. The album features
classic gems like Brown Eyed Handsome Man, Too Much Monkey Business, Havana Moon and No Money Down. Noted for his stellar guitar
work, pretty much introducing the turnaround riff to a whole new generation of guitar players, After School Session was truly a primer for a
ton of rock and blues artists for years like Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Johnny Winter, The Animals and
Chuck Berry was more than a rock 'n roll genius. He was a natural poet. He could rhyme. He could compose lyrically two and three
minute musical stories about the everyday man and woman, about the struggles of being a teenager, about romance, about cars, about
faraway places, about dancing, and most notably about rock 'n rollin.'
His unconventional approach to music was unlike that of anyone before him. He opened the doors for millions of music fans around
the world to enjoy rock and blues, making him one of the first pioneers of the popular recording business that we all enjoy to this day.

Chris Arias, otherwise known as FoodEatsChris is a young, unique photographer from New York City. He has done shoots with people such as Ian Connor, Luka Sabbat, Nessly and many more. Over time his work has become more recognized throughout New York City and more sought after from people who influence the culture today. We’re happy to be able to interview Chris today, Enjoy.
How old are you and where are you from?
Chris: I’m 19 and i’m born and raised in The Bronx specifically 170 st but now i live in the South Bronx.
What or who inspired you to get into photography and fashion?
Chris: Well I didn’t really get an inspiration, my cousin and I would take iPhone pictures of each other all the time and we just took pictures of how we felt. I’m not too into fashion, i’m neutral, I have some knowledge under my belt but besides that I appreciate a good style over fashion any day.
Do you plan on making photography a career?
Chris: Of course! Well if not my first option then my second which would be a music journalist. I’d make my photography a part of that also but what It seems at the moment I just like taking cool photos and seeing people excited for getting their photo taken.
Does music have any influence on your work?
Chris: Yes. Specifically Hip hop music and it’s sub-genres such as trap and all that other good stuff. It’s rugged style is cool to me so in a way I try to make my pictures as pleasing to that audience as if it were the music itself. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate all kinds of music (yes, including country) but there’s something about trap music that’s so universal.
Is there anything you plan on working on or getting into creatively besides photography?
Chris: At the moment i’m writing scripts for a film I’m getting out as soon as I’m ready. I’m going to direct it myself maybe even be starring in it. I’m in no rush to get this film out I try to focus mainly on my photography but also try to have fun with anything I can come up with.
How does it feel for your work to be recognized and appreciated?
Chris: I don’t really feel anything. I mean it’s cool I guess, but it’s nowhere near where I would want it to be. If anything I’m only really concerned if anybody that can help me out in the long run is paying attention, then that would get me really excited.
Who would you like to work with in the future?
Chris: I don’t know honestly. If anything my partner Bob is someone who I usually work with so maybe him. he’s a really good photographer but we don’t have anywhere near the same ideas. Which is why i’m always fascinated. But If i could work with lets say a company, i’d want to work with streetwear brands such as Stüssy, Supreme, etc. If it comes down to specific people I want to take pictures of I would honestly say Danny Brown would be insane to take pictures of; I wouldn’t mind taking his portraits on tour.
How would you describe “FoodEatsChris”?
Chris: I dunno really. Just Foodeatschris?
Follow Chris on Twitter and Instagram @FoodEatsChris & Thank You for reading.

Opening the World to Infer; Closing It to Validate
Scientific data is distributed over time. For a given entity of interest, have we already recorded all potentially relevant data on its properties, relationships, and representations? Have we already enumerated all of an entity’s potential attributes for which to slot in such data? Have we already named all possible types of entities of interest in our domain?
An “open-world assumption” can ease data interoperability over time in a domain, as applications come and go.
In a closed-world data model, if an entity is not in the database now, it doesn’t exist (perhaps it will in a “later” world, but not this one). A closed-world model facilitates validation, which is important in applications.
In an open-world model, if an entity is not in the database now, it may exist – we can’t claim it doesn’t. However, an open-world model shines at deductive inference of true yet not-explicitly-entered facts, which is helpful in knowledge domains (and downstream applications).
I drafted a diagram below to try and illustrate the benefit of open-world modeling for domain data.
With open-world domains, interdisciplinary data flow doesn’t require explicit domain-domain data mappings. Rather, each domain can set up its own inference rules to deduce mappings for datasets. Once in the language of a domain, each application in that domain can “close the world” with a validation funnel for data relevant to the application.
On the other hand, when domain models are tightly coupled to identified applications, the world closes early, and explicit mappings are needed to share structure-bound data.
I offer one additional diagram below to illustrate a difference in processing for closed-world and open-world domain data. For closed-world data X, one maps that data to domain/application Y; it may “grow” or “shrink”, but it’s a transformation. For open-world data, on the other hand, there is first an inference step, where the set of facts grows. Then, for any given application, the data shrinks on validation for the world of the application.
This turned out to be a long note. Bad Donny. But I hope I got across a sense of a means to decouple domain data/knowledge management from application data management, and of how this decoupling could be valuable in particular for the (conceptual + temporal) open-endedness of interdisciplinary scientific research.

From Joy Ride to Oppenheimer, every time a new film dares to display sex on screen, there are swathes of complaints on social media about how these moments are inappropriate, tawdry, and wholly unnecessary. Into this fray comes Cat Person, which features a pivotal sex scene that’s sure to get people talking.
Sex scenes in films do so much more than offer cheap thrills and titillation — not that there’s anything wrong with either of those things! The sex scene in Cat Person advances the plot, tells us how characters handle the most intimate situations, and explores the shifting power dynamics between said characters.
If there was ever a sex scene made to shut down dissenting voices, you’ll find it in Cat Person.
What's the deal with Cat Person's sex scene?
Directed by Susanna Fogel, Cat Person is based on the wildly popular New Yorker story of the same name, written by Kristen Roupenian. Cat Person follows Margot (Emilia Jones), a 20-year-old college sophomore, who sparks an unlikely relationship with Robert (Nicholas Braun), an older man who flirts with her at the movie theater where she works. While the film itself is wobbly, the best sequence happens after a long, awkward date between Margot and Robert. And what better way to cap the night than with a long, awkward sex scene?
As Robert puts on “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode (a great song, sure, but the lyrics “Words are very unnecessary/They can only do harm” is a crimson flag for a first sexual encounter), Margot scans the room, taking note of piles of dirty laundry and a used glass with some Coke in it — not exactly the kinds of things that inspire arousal. It’s then, in a brilliant touch, that Margot’s inner thoughts are exposed via another version of Margot, standing beside the bed watching. “Do we really wanna do this?” she asks herself. “We did…before,” Margot answers.
It’s abundantly clear Margot doesn’t really want to have sex with Robert, agreeing to go along with it out of a sense of obligation. This comes from a larger issue, one that stems from gender dynamics at play in heterosexual interactions, the societal prioritization of male pleasure, and how Margot sees his pleasure as more important than her own. “It’s just easier to get it over with,” she justifies to herself.
Here, Margot accepts this is "unwanted sex" — consensual, but not desired. Margot chooses to sleep with Robert because she sees it as an act of courtesy, but also because she believes doing so will avoid a worse fate. Instead of focusing on the moment — Robert is on top of her, kissing her with unimaginably bad technique — Margot tries to focus on a moment earlier in her relationship with Robert when he kissed her tenderly on the forehead. It’s a fascinating tactic: Margot tries to remember a moment of genuine intimacy from weeks prior, clawing in the recesses of her mind for something that made her like Robert, as everything that’s currently happening is having the opposite effect. Margot is so detached from the idea of having sex with Robert that she tries to negotiate with herself as to why she’s even there in the first place.
As Robert flips Margot over to be on top, the camera closes in on their faces: Robert is in the moment, but Margot is detached, visibly unhappy. She notices the glow-in-the-dark stars on Robert’s ceiling and focuses in on them, mentally removing herself from the sex. The stars offer her a brief respite from physical and mental discomfort. As the camera closes in on Margot’s face, it feels as if Margot is leaving her physical self. That’s made clearer by the fact that her face becomes super-imposed over the stars, soon joined by the other version of Margot. Both watch her have sex, and realize that this needs to end.
Cat Person’s sex scene is an uncomfortable stroke of genius.
Cat Person explores the performative nature of sex. Sex is, in many ways, a performance; we make noises, exclamations, and movements to arouse not only ourselves but also our partners. Great sex, though, happens when that element comes naturally, rather than being put on to try and reach climax faster as a way of escape, which is what’s happening here. The lack of communication, as hinted by the use of “Enjoy the Silence” makes it practically impossible for Margot to enjoy sex with Robert, as she doesn’t feel like she can communicate her honest feelings without repercussion. Great sex also requires feeling safe with your partner — a vital element that Margot isn’t experiencing. Margot begins to act like a thrilled participant, practically cheering on Robert so he finishes, and so her miserable experience will finally come to an end. Sure enough, it works, and it’s finally over. “This is the worst life decision I’ve ever made,” she tells herself.
The sex scene in Cat Person explores some truly uncomfortable ideas, like how people are capable of mental gymnastics, justifying bad situations in the moment, reframing them in real time to make them more palatable — trying to find a way to find comfort with miserable circumstances as they happen. It also questions our abilities on a physical level, and how far we’re willing to take things, risking self-violation in order to appease another person.
When Robert exclaims to Margot that he’s “always wanted to fuck a girl with nice tits,” he means it as the highest compliment, though Margot is nauseated by the line that feels lifted from a bad porno. Robert seems to be enjoying the best sex of his life, while Margot is miserable, so much so that she literally disassociates. The scene stresses the value of communication in intimacy — if you can’t effectively express your honest desires, you’re not in for a pleasurable experience. But more importantly, Cat Person explores why that communication barrier is there: There’s no trust established between the pair. While Robert is having his greatest experience, Margot is having her worst. It also examines why people might choose to engage in sex, offering an answer far thornier and compelling than simple desire.
Margot has sex with Robert not because she wants to, but because she fears that not having sex with him would disappoint him. But it’s not only disappointment that Margot is afraid of — it’s that Robert’s disappointment could mutate into something more frightening; more violent. Sex here is a defense mechanism. It’s in this knotty sequence that all the previously suggested imbalances in their relationship become clear while laying the groundwork for a dramatic breakdown of their relationship to come.
Cat Person explores these complex ideas thoughtfully and intelligently, never blaming Margot for the situation she’s in. Instead, the film uses sex to explore murky power dynamics and the fear that naturally comes with vulnerability. Some might consider the third act of Cat Person to be a jarring shift — both in tone and from its short story inspiration — but the unpredictable and uncomfortable nature of this sequence actually sets it up perfectly. It’s a thought-provoking scene that showcases just how vital to cinema a great sex scene can be.
Cat Person is now playing in theaters.

A quick question for you. Do you ever wonder what you’d choose as your specialist subject if invited to be a contestant on Mastermind? Well I do. Deliberating this question has been a source of personal angst for years. However, after much soul searching I can say with absolute certainty, my specialist subject would be the wines of Umbria. I’ve been living in Umbria on and off for 12 years and have had the pleasure to get to know these wines intimately over the years. However, few English speakers, even committed wine lovers, know much about the wines of Umbria and that’s a real shame (but also means I’d win Mastermind – silver lining).
As an English speaker, and as Umbrian wines are rarely imported to the UK/USA, any exposure you’ve had to Umbrian wines has probably been on holiday? Umbria boasts some of the most enchanting hilltop towns in Italy and is a favourite with tourists and foodies alike. From Todi to Narni, Orvieto to Montefalco and with UNESCO sites like Assisi and Perugia, this small county of Italy is bejeweled with some of Europe’s most important historical cities. Yet the wines of Umbria, whilst enjoyed plentifully on vacation, do not enjoy the international reputation of their near neighbour; Tuscany. But why?
The wines of Umbria benefit from huge variety. They do not focus on one red or white grape neither are they dominated by one wine. Surprisingly, the most famous individual wine of Umbria is not even made from a local nor Italian grape, but from barrel fermented Chardonnay, the Cervaro della Sala. Truth is, Umbria has a wine identity crisis. If you were to ask a wine expert what they thought the most frequently planted grape in Umbria was most would guess incorrectly. The #1 planted grape isn’t Sagrantino, Grechetto or even Trebbiano, the last two create the base for Orvieto wine. It’s not the vineyards of Montefalco nor Orvieto that dominate the wine landscape in Umbria. The one thing Umbria does share in common with Tuscany is its #1 planted grape; Sangiovese.
It’s with Sangiovese that many local producers are experimenting and creating wines of outstanding quality and with this grape perhaps a new wine future for Umbria beckons. Smaller producers like Cantina La Spina (below), La Carraia, Todini and Colle Uncinano are creating stand alone Sangiovese wines that fly in the face of the DOC rules while many of the huge and celebrated Sagrantino producers are making room for blended wines containing Sagrantino, Merlot and Sangiovese. The most famous of these wines, Montefalco Rosso, is the #1 consumed red in the county, frequently under 10€ and delicious. With identity confusion comes experimentation and occasionally, and in the case of Umbria, tremendous value in places.
The wines of Umbria have undergone a quality revolution over the past 20 years. From the big money pouring in from Antinori (the Tuscan family who invested in Umbria), to the local winemakers throwing the DOC(G) rule book out of the window, to a few select wines growing in international reputation, Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG & Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG, the wines of Umbria have never been better. The price to quality ratio of Umbrian wines is among the best in Italy and Tuscany can no longer throw shade on its local rival. So which are the best Umbrian wines to seek out on your return home for holidays?
The wines of Umbria 2018 – Tre Bicchiere awards
A good place to start when looking for quality in Italian wine is the Gambero Rosso annual review. In 2018, nine Umbrian wines were awarded the prestigious Tre Bicchiere award, down from ten in 2017. Wines from the Piedmont, Veneto or Tuscany bagging a Tre Bicchiere award would often retail on the other side of 100€. The wines below are available from as little as 10€. Those wines scooping the top award in 2018 were;
- Tenuta Bellafonte – Montefalco Sagrantino Collenottolo 2013 – 20€
- Leonardo Bussoletti – 05035 Rosso 2016 – 10€
- Arnaldo Caprai -Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano 2013 – 25€
- Castello della Sala – Cervaro della Sala 2015 – 40€
- Decugnano dei Barbi – Orvieto Classico Superiore Il Blanco 2016 – 20€
- Lungarotti – Torgiano Rosso Rubesco Monticchio Riserva 2012 – 25€
- F.lli Pardi – Montefalco Sagrantino 2013 – 25€
- Giampaolo Tabarrini – Adarmando 2015 – 15€
- Tudernum – Montefalco Sagrantino Fidenzio 2012 – 25€
Some of these wines are available in the USA, only a couple in the UK, via wine-searcher.com.
Another good way to explore the wines of Umbria is to visit a producer whilst on holiday. I’ve had the good fortune to visit Cantina La Spina, Antinori and Arnaldo Caprai this year, and all of these producers, though different in size and production, offer a range of wines for tasting that showcase the range of cultivars that excel in Umbrian soil. A visit to Caprai (above) is recommended for any wine enthusiast and will allow you to taste through several vintages of their flagship Montefalco Sagrantino as well as several other wines including several Rosso blends, white varietal wines of Grechetto, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and even a varietal Pinot Noir and sparkling wine.
There’s been wine production in Umbria since the Etruscans started laying down vines over 2000 years ago but there has surely been no greater time of industry, improvement or innovation in Umbrian wine over those past 2000 years. 2018 is the year to get into Umbrian wine.

I just finished The Thoreau You Don't Know: What the Prophet of Environmentalism Really Meant by Robert Sullivan http://www.amazon.com/Thoreau-You-Dont-Know-Environmentalism/dp/0061710318/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238114242&sr=8-1)
I have always been a fan of Walden and Thoreau's other writings. I first read Walden in high school, and have read it once or twice as an adult. I have also read a few biographies of Thoreau over the years.
In 1991, I visited Walden - it was a pretty neat experience. Nothing spiritual, or life changing, but, it did mean a lot to me. Sullivan writes about his visit to Walden towards the end of the book (basically the last section, after he is done recounting Thoreau's life and work). To me, this part of the book seems contrived - it was not my favorite part, and I think he could have worked snippets of his visit in the book - but, that's just me.
Lately, as I have mentioned I have been reading a lot of Emerson. This Thoreau book was interesting in that it had a lot of information on Thoreau's and Emerson's relationship, as well as information about Emerson. At times Thoreau worked for Emerson. At times, Thoreau's writing style exasperated Emerson. As Thoreau got older and more established, their relationship became strained.
One thing that was EXTREMELY interesting, was the cultural, political, and financial situation during the time Thoreau came to prominence. Sullivan discusses the panic of 1837 (which becomes a full blown depression), then recounts another economic downturn in 1857. The descriptions of these downturns sound eerily like our current day downturns. Emerson and Thoreau both wrote during those times, and the conditions had to color their writing and thinking.
I was also interested in the discussion about HDT being, what amounted to the CEO of his family's pencil business. He was an innovator at the time with regard to pencils - now, they'd be featuring him in Wired or Fast Times magazine. I was also interested in his well respected work as a surveyor. And of course, I was interested in the discussion of his development as a writer.
In reading the Amazon customer reviews of this book, you get your typical Thoreau "experts" who downgrade this book (I think maybe they are mad that Sullivan is trying to make Thoreau more palatable to popular consumption, and taking him out of the realm of the experts who are constantly dissecting his life and writing. I also suspect they don't like it because it's not a "scholarly" biography - which, the author makes quite clear that it is not to be) - they recommend in some reviews reading a "real" biography, Robert Richardson's Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind. It is a good book, but it is NOT a quick read (dry, academic), overly interesting read like this one.
Overall, it didn't really change any of my opinions about Thoreau. I had learned when I was younger that Thoreau was not a recluse at Walden, nor did he live a monastic cloistered life at Walden. He spent time in town. People liked him, and I think for the most part, he liked people.
Thoreau has always seemed to me to be an eccentric, or someone, to paraphrase his classic line, who marched to the beat of his own drummer.
I think these days we need more eccentrics who know how to think in patterns and can see relationships. We need people who are keen observers and reporters, which, Thoreau was. We need men (and women) who can think differently about the world, and articulate their feelings about it in an inspiring way as Thoreau did.
Maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we are in.

Cuthead "Everlasting Sunday"
Having been schooled during Red Bull Music Academy's Barcelona sessions, German producer Cuthead (born Karvan de Robartosz) makes cavernous music that navigates in and out of the confines of genre. Robartosz's "Everlasting Sunday" comes ahead of the digital release of his "extended" EP of the same name, which is due out on November 15 via Uncanny Valley. The track is a cut of nocturnal hip-hop with orchestral samples and wonky, swung tempos that elegantly carry the baggy beats through the production's corroded and decidedly haunted sound. "Everlasting Sunday" is pensive and swayed up until its final moments, when the sampled strings break away from the mix for an emotive conclusion.

Today at the World Mobile Congress via Press Release, HTC has announced their latest additions to their family of Android and Windows Phone Products.
Their first set of announcements includes updates to their series of HTC Sense UI system for the Android Operating System. The HTC Sense will feature new products such as The HTC Friend Stream, perhaps containing properties similar to those released and announced by Microsoft in their Windows Phone 7 demos.
Along with the updates to HTC Sense comes two new devices, the HTC Legend and HTC Desire. The HTC Legend is a 3.2 inch AMOLED device that is to be built around their HTC Sense Improvements, utilizing an optical joystick, rather a trackball or D-Pad as seen in previous models.
The HTC Desire is intended to be released as a device for a rich multimedia experience in the form of news, videos, friends, and more. It will be built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, to maintain a high level of speed and functionality. It will have multimedia upgrades to allow a better experience on its 3.7 inch AMOLED WVGA resolution screen. It is also announced to be Adobe Flash 10.1 Ready upon release later this year. Both devices are intended for initial release in Europe and Asia, but there are chances these devices will hop across the ocean sometime in the near future!
Lastly, the biggest release on the Windows Phone end of products for HTC and their press release is the HD Mini (Seen above,) an intended sister product to the HD2, which is an announced windows phone 7 capable device.
The HD mini will feature high levels of usability, including HTC SENSE! That’s right, HTC intends to keep the ball rolling and include their famous UI system, probably now adhering and collaborating with Microsoft’s METRO UI system, which is a standard to their current family of products.
The HD Mini will feature all of the major advantages and releases as announced by Microsoft and their Windows Phone 7 Series, such as pinch to zoom, extreme connectivity to social networking and other products, and have a similar feel and intention like that of the HD2. The HD Mini intends to hit European Markets this April, and perhaps then reach the American shores by X-Mas
This was brought to you direct from HTC, stay tuned for more exclusive news as MWC rolls on!
