Ethiopia Telecom selects Ericsson for network upgrade
Ethiopia Telecom has revealed a framework agreement with Ericsson as the operator looks to transform its network in the country.
The Swedish vendor will provide mobile communications equipment and services such as design, planning, deployment, tuning and optimisation to Ethio Telecom, to help improve the capacity and performance of its 2G/3G network.
“Ethio telecom sees this agreement with Ericsson as an important step towards fulfilling the country’s need for communication under the Telecom Expansion Plan,” said Andualem Admassie, CEO at Ethio Telecom. “We believe in a long-term partnership with Ericsson.”
The deal is expected to ensure an improved network quality for Ethio Telecom subscribers in southern Ethiopia, as well as increase network capacity to meet the demands of its 60 million subscribers nationwide.
“Ethiopia’s 3G market is rapidly growing, driven by Ethiopian’s high demand on connectivity; Ericsson is devoted to support the development of Ethiopia’s telecoms industry, leveraging our global expertise and technology leadership,” said Rafiah Ibrahim, head of MENA region at Ericsson.
“Today’s signing of the framework agreement will further solidify our partnership with Ethio Telecom as we will work together to ensure rewarding new user experience for Ethiopian consumers in the new connectivity era and we are fully confident that we will together achieve this objective.”
The signing was hosted by Ethiopia’s Minister of Telecommunications, H.E. Dr. Debretsion, and was attended by representatives from Ethio Teleocm and Ericsson.
The partnership with Ericsson followsa warning from the Ethopian government in November this year to Chinese vendor ZTE that it may lose its contract with Ethio Telecom if it does not review its pricing.

This news story in the online Edmonton Journal, which you can read in full here, mentions the “death barracks” at Auschwitz. I was not familiar with this term, so I had to do some searching to find out exactly where the “death barracks” were located.
The photo below is from the Auschwitz Album, a book of photographs that was found by Lili Jacob in a concentration camp in Germany at the end of the war. The album consists of around 200 photos taken by the SS men at Birkenau when a transport of 3,500 Hungarian Jews arrived in May 1944 from Carpatho-Ruthenia, a region annexed to Hungary from the former country of Czechoslovakia in 1939. Jacob was on this transport; she survived because she was selected to work.
According to this page on Wikipedia, the caption on the famous photo above claims that it shows a woman and children walking to the “death barracks.” Many websites about the Holocaust have repeated this information.
When I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau in 2005, I took the photo below which shows the famous photo of the woman and children on a signboard at the entrance to a road that goes from South to North through the center of the Birkenau camp, from the women’s camp to the new “Mexico” section of the camp which was in the process of being built.
According to the text on the display board shown in the photo above, this road through the Birkenau camp was a shortcut to Krema IV and Krema V where there were gas chambers, disguised as shower rooms. Note the photo on the display board. This photo was shown as evidence at the Auschwitz Trial in Frankfurt where 22 SS men, who had formerly worked at Auschwitz-Birkenau, were put on trial by the Germans in 1963.
Is this the road to the “death barracks” that Holocaust survivor Ray Pierzchajlo was talking about? I don’t think so. According to the Edmonton Journal article about him, he was in the main Auschwitz camp, not the Auschwitz II camp, aka Birkenau. He was a political prisoner, who had been wrongly arrested for helping the Polish Resistance during the Nazi occupation of Poland.
This quote is from the Edmonton Journal article about Ray Pierzchajlo:
On Dec. 5, 1941, the Gestapo came looking for his 14-year-old brother, who had been delivering flyers for the Polish resistance. Pierzchajlo, 20 at the time, pretended to be his brother, figuring the Gestapo would let him go when they realized their mistake, while giving his brother time to go into hiding. “I whispered to my mother, ‘Send him (my brother) away.’ ”
But the Nazis kept Pierzchajlo, and after three months in a Warsaw jail, he was shipped to Auschwitz. Just before he left, he smuggled a note to his father, who was being held in the same jail.
At the camp, prisoners were divided into different lines. Most Jews were sent to the gas chambers. Pierzchajlo, young and strong, joined the lines for forced labour. […]
With the number 12632 tattooed on his arm, he worked alongside other political prisoners, Jews and Gypsies, barely alive on thin soup and bread full of sawdust.
Through his barracks window, he watched Nazi guards shoot hundreds of Jews, Poles, Russians and Germans as they walked out of a nearby “death barracks.”
Then, in 1942, the trains filled with Jews began arriving. They were systematically killed in the gas chambers in the nearby Birkenau extermination camp, built in 1941.
So it is clear that he is not talking about the “death barracks” at Birkenau, toward which the old woman and the children were walking, according to the Wikipedia caption on a photo taken by an SS man and put into an album called Auschwitz Album. No, Pierzchajlo is talking about the “death barracks” at the main Auschwitz camp.
I did some more searching and found this quote on this blog post:
Located in Auschwitz I is Cell 18, in the “death barracks” beside the execution wall. The door way to Cell 18 remains closed with an iron grill, for it is holy ground. Maximillian Kolbe died on the floor of this cell, having made the ultimate sacrifice. A Polish national and a priest, he offered his life in the place of another inmate with children who was randomly selected for execution as punishment for a block mate who did not appear at roll call.
Cell No. 18, where Father Kolbe died, is shown in the photo below.
So it turns out that both the Auschwitz main camp and the Birkenau camp had “death barracks.” The “death barracks” at the main camp were in Block 11, the camp prison, which had a courtroom where political prisoners were put on trial. If they were convicted, the condemned men were taken out into the courtyard between Block 10 and Block 11 to be shot. Somehow, Pierzchajlo was able to see the convicted prisoners being shot from his barracks window.
In the photo above, Block 10 is shown on the right. This is where medical experiments were conducted on women. So where was the barrack building from which Pierzchajlo could observe the shooting of the men and women who had been convicted in the courtroom in Block 11?
Almost every Holocaust survivor says that prisoners went through a selection upon arrival and those who were selected to die were sent immediately to the gas chamber, not to a “death barracks” to wait for their turn in the gas chamber. There were other selections when Dr. Mengele would come to the barracks and choose prisoners, who looked unhealthy, to be taken to the gas chamber. However, I have never heard of a “death barracks” at Birkenau where prisoners were sent to wait for their turn to die.
Numerous stories told by Holocaust survivors mention that a train would arrive at Birkenau and on that same day, 3,000 prisoners would be gassed and burned. There was a soccer field right next to Krema III, one of the gas chamber buildings, and the prisoners who were playing soccer could watch the prisoners entering the gas chamber.

Brief History Of DSM High Performance Fibres.
DSM commercially produces the strongest fibre in the world, Dyneema®.
The basic theory about how a superstrong polyethylene fibre should look was already available in the thirties. It took almost half a century to produce the high performance polyethylene fibre (HPPE).
In 1979 DSM invented and patented this fibre and the gel spinning process to produce it.
Dyneema® fibres have been in commercial production since 1990 at their plant at Heerlen, the Netherlands. The production of Dyneema® fibres demands relatively little energy and uses no aggressive chemicals.
The product can easily be recycled so environmental pollution from product and process is minimal.
In the USA DSM has granted a manufacturers license to Honeywell.
The basic theory about how to produce a superstrong fibre from a polymer such as polyethylene is easy to understand.
In the gel spinning process the molecules are dissolved in a solvent and spun through a spinneret.
In the solution the molecules that form clusters in the solid state become disentangled and remain in that state after the solution is cooled to give filaments. As the fibre is drawn, a very high level of macromolecular orientation is attained resulting in a fibre with a very high tenacity and modulus. Called Dyneema®, this fibre is now available in different grades.
It is characterized by a parallel orientation greater than 95% and a high level of crystallinity, up to 85%. This gives Dyneema® its unique properties.
In the meantime, research and development continue at DSM.
Since the start of commercial production, the performance of the Dyneema® fibre has been improved considerably. New grades have been introduced and others will follow.
Gel spinning of HPPE fibres is a process that hinges on mechanical and physical parameters, not on chemistry. This makes it relatively easy to produce a wide range of fibre grades. From the start, quality control has been a major item for DSM High Performance Fibres and quality acreditation was soon obtained.
A large number of applications and products using Dyneema® have been developed. Technical support is considered to be essential in the introduction and marketing of this high performance fibre. Accordingly, a well-equipped laboratory, called Technicum, is available to support textile-processing and rope-making customers. It also develops protective and anti-ballistic products.
High Strength, High Modulus, Low Weight:
Dyneema® fibres have a unique combination of properties. The density is slightly less than one, so the fibre floats on water. But the tenacity is the highest in the world and can be up to 15 times that of a good quality steel! The modulus is very high and is second only to that of special carbon fibres grades. Elongation at break is as low for Dyneema® fibres as for other high performance fibres, but due to the high tenacity the energy to break is high.
The strength of a fibre can be expressed as the free breaking length. The free breaking length is the theoretical length of a fibre, yarn or rope which breaks under its own weight, when freely hanging. This free breaking length is product related and is independent of the thickness of the fibre or the rope. Dyneema® would in theory reach to a satellite's orbit.
High Energy Absorption:
Dyneema® fibres can absorb extremely high amounts of energy. This property is utilized in products for ballistic protection. But this makes the fibre equally suited for products such as cut-resistant gloves, motor helmets and to improve the impact strength of laminated boat hulls. In these applications not only the high tenacity is used but also the high energy absorption.
Dyneema® fibres are produced from polyethylene and do not contain any aromatic rings nor any amide, hydroxylic or other chemical groups that are susceptible to attack by aggressive agents. The result is a highly crystalline fibre with excellent resistance to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV light and micro-organisms. Unlike some other anti-ballistic fibres, Dyneema® fibres do not swell or hydrolyse in water, sea water or moisture.
The high molecular weight polyethylene used to produce the Dyneema® fibre, is also well-known as an engineering plastic.
As an engineering plastic, it is especially used for its superior wear and abrasion resistance.
So it is not surprising that Dyneema® fibres, too, have good abrasion resistance. Carbon fibres and glass fibres have a high modulus and a brittle breaking mode, but Dyneema® fibres demonstrate that this is not an obvious combination. Dyneema® fibres have a high modulus but still are flexible, with long flex life.
Dyneema® has a melting point between 144 and 152 º C depending on the test method used.
The tenacity and modulus decrease at higher temperatures but increase at sub-zero temperatures. There is no brittle point found as low as minus 150ºC, so the fibre can be used between this temperature and the 80 to 100ºC. Brief exposure to much higher temperatures will not cause any serious loss of properties.
Absorption Of Ballistic Energy:
Most important in ballistic protection is the level and the mechanism of energy absorption at ballistic speeds. The specific modulus of and the sonic velocity in the fibre determine the anti-ballistic potential whilst wearing comfort is achieved because of the very light weight and flexibility of the sheet material.
Dyneema® UD In Police Vests:
A special sheet called Dyneema® UD is best at stopping bullets. Dyneema® UD is a unidirectional construction in which the yarns are not woven but lie parallel to each other. Using Dyneema® UD the minimum weight is needed for protection at different levels, the body armour is flexible and gives good wearing comfort. Dyneema® UD is not affected by water or sunlight and needs no special protection.
Another important consideration is the blunt trauma effect. Due to the high sonic velocity within the fibre, the impact energy is dissipated very rapidly over a large area. This makes for the low blunt trauma, the indentation on the inside surface side of the vest.
Police cars can be readily armoured using Dyneema® protective armour panels.
Armour panels are most commonly used for protection against 9mm bullets, the threat mostly encountered by police forces.
Dyneema® panels weigh only 6.5kg/m². Thus, they can be installed in car doors without changing the hinges or the door itself. At the end of the service life of the car, the armour panel can be removed and re-used. The original door panel can be mounted back again.
Dyneema® light weight armour can also be used for protection against heavier ammunition. The thermoplastic armour is easy to form, is not affected by light or moisture and can be processed using standard equipment. For common FMJ (full metal jacket) ammunition such as 7.62 NATO Ball and 5.56 Ball, no steel or ceramic strike face is needed.
Military helmets are normally designed to protect against fragments.
Several helmet designs using the Dyneema® fibre in different forms and in different matrix systems have been tested using 1.1.gram (17 grain) FSPs (fragment simulating projectiles). Best results are obtained using thermoplastic resin as the matrix system. Service life of this type of helmet promises to be long and wearing comfort is very good due to its low weight.
The effects of sunlight and moisture are negligible, as with all other Dyneema® products.
Hard Plate Inserts Against Rifle:
Hard armour plates an be used to upgrade soft body armour.
A unique feature of the full-Dyneema® inserts is that they protect against all common rifle bullets without a heavy steel or ceramic strike face.
DSM High Performance Fibres built a third production line. This raised production capacity for Dyneema® fibre by another 500 tons per year. The new facility came on stream in 1997 and boosted production capacity to 1500 tons. The third production line used the innovated gel spinning technology, the same technology as used in the second line that came on stream in 1996.
The innovated technology makes it possible to produce Dyneema® fibres having a strength of approximately 4 N/tex. This is 30% stronger than the present Dyneema® fibres and almost twice the strength of standard-grade aramid fibres.
A forth fibre production plant opened in 2001 in Heerlen and a fith fibre production plant in the USA.
Latest Process Technology:
DSM Dyneema® remain at the forefront of research, development and application of UHMWPE fibres.
Since the introduction of the Dyneema® fibre DSM High Performance Fibres has achieved essential innovations in the patented gel spinning process for the superstrong polyethylene fibre. These innovations led to steady improvement in the strength of the Dyneema® fibre.
This was initially achieved by optimising the process parameters without affecting the stability of the process.
The first Dyneema® fibre grades of the new quality are Dyneema® SK75 and Dyneema® SK77. Dyneema® SK75 is used in ropes and cordage and in ballistic protection. Dyneema® SK77 will be the top in anti-ballistic fibres and have a tenacity of about 4.0 N/tex (45 g/den).
Dyneema's® position as the strongest fibre in the world is clearly reinforced with these new fibre grades.

Photoconduction at the diffusion length limit
Nanocrystals became an essential building blocks of modern optoelectronics. In the infrared, HgTe nanocrystals are used for the fabricate cameras and LEDs. In these polycrystalline materials, hopping has often been seen as a bottleneck to their performance. Members of the team of physical chemistry of the INSP have shown that by adapting the geometry of the device, it is possible to obtain photoconduction properties as high as bulk materials.

Taylor settled into a stunning log cabin built in 1936 by Hart Freeland Roberts, the architecture firm responsible for renovating iconic local buildings like the Ryman Auditorium and the Parthenon. The four-bedroom home sits back from the street on a lush, tree-filled 1.29-acre corner lot with thick bamboo groves and a shaded pool - a verdant oasis in one of the country’s quickest growing cities. Styled and photographed by Alyssa Rosenheck.
architectureToday AD is welcomed to Austin, Texas by Jared and Genevieve Padalecki for a look inside their bustling family farmhouse. Purchased in 2012, the stars of The CW's "Walker" have spent the ensuing years gradually creating their ideal modern farmhouse. Working with designer Virginia Davidson, the property underwent a full gut renovation to become the home they now enjoy with their three children (as well as numerous dogs, chickens, mini horses, and even bees.)
celebritiesToday AD is welcomed to Los Angeles by superstar couple Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo for a tour of their Pacific Palisades ranch house. “We didn’t want a palatial McMansion. That’s just not who we are,” insists the Maroon 5 frontman who, with his supermodel wife, tapped Clements Design to conjure their vision of a high-design, low-pretension family oasis. “We were attracted to this place because it felt homey." says Behati. "You could tell that kids had lived here before."
celebritiesToday Architectural Digest brings you to Lagos, Nigeria to tour the home of international recording superstar Burna Boy. The “African Giant” has created a stunning oasis for himself, one where his creative process can unfold against a backdrop of luxury and eclectic personal flair.
architectureToday Architectural Digest brings you to West Hollywood to tour Nina Dobrev’s stunning Spanish style home. Dobrev, who is Bulgarian and spent some of her childhood in the south of France, leaned into her heritage when revamping the interiors with designer Charlie Barstein. While an airy sense of California cool is evident in sleek brass details and locally-sourced art and furniture, her careful preservation of the residence’s late-1920s Spanish-style architecture provides a sense of European elegance.
architectureToday AD brings you to the lush hillside neighborhood of Los Feliz in Los Angeles to visit the enchanting home of actress Vanessa Hudgens. Hudgens spent five years searching for the right property before settling upon the Georgian colonial house she now calls home, undertaking renovations both on her own and in tandem with interior designer Jake Arnold. With her work comes many nights on the road (she stars in Lin Manuel Miranda’s upcoming directorial debut, “Tick, Tick. . . Boom!”) meaning Vanessa’s home has become a place to return to, renew, and reconnect. “It’s nice to know that when I get home, I’ll have a bath waiting for me. I always savor that first soak.”
architectureToday AD brings you to sunny La Jolla, California on the coast of the Pacific Ocean to tour the art-filled, modernist home of superstar couple Alicia Keys and Kasseem Dean (a.k.a. Swizz Beatz.) A stunning cliffside mansion by architectural designer Wallace E. Cunningham, Kasseem had the multi-level "Razor House" as his phone’s screen saver for 8 years, waiting for a day when the stars would align. Once he and his Grammy-award winning wife were able to make it their own, they set out with AD100 designer Kelly Behun to craft a home they now call their literal “Dreamland.” As for the results? “When your screen saver comes to life, it’s unbelievably crazy” says Dean.
celebritiesToday Architectural Digest brings you to Edmonton, Alberta in Canada to visit the welcoming, three-story home of NHL superstar Connor McDavid. Arguably the greatest current hockey player in the world, McDavid and his girlfriend Lauren Kyle partnered with Design Two Group to design and build their dream home after Connor secured a lucrative, long-term contract with the Edmonton Oilers. When it came time to review the finalized architectural plans, McDavid and Kyle decided to make one major addition: On the basement level, next to the plush lounge and bar area, they commissioned what they call “the sports court,” (a basketball half court where most afternoons you’ll find McDavid roller-blading and working on his hockey skills) as well as a home gym. “Connor being the captain [of the Oilers], we knew we were going to have to host a lot,” Kyle says. “This house feels like it’s definitely an entertainer’s home.”

Sears, Kmart jump on layaway bandwagon by waiving fees
Hoffman Estates, Ill. -- Sears Holdings Corp. said Friday that both its Sears and Kmart banners would waive layaway fees for the holidays, allowing shoppers to open interest-free pay-over-time programs at both stores and online with no customary initial fees. Kmart’s program will run through Nov. 17, but Sears Holdings had yet to set a timeframe for its namesake stores.
In the past, Kmart and Sears have charged $5 for an eight-week layaway contract and $10 for the 12-week program.
The announcement comes just days after Walmart publicized that it would lower its upfront layaway fee to $5 and Toys “R” Us eliminated its upfront service fee for layaway orders created in-store from Sept. 4 through Oct. 31.

A three-year-old girl was reunited with her family on Monday, 25 April after she was kidnapped for ransom last week. Four suspects – believed to be members of an organised crime syndicate – were arrested when they tried to pick up the ransom near East Gate Mall in Johannesburg.
KIDNAPPED TODDLER RESCUED
South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe said the child was kidnapped on Thursday, 21 April.
She was snatched from her school in Springs by a woman who posed as her childminder.
“Following her kidnapping, her alleged kidnappers had demanded millions of rands for her safe return,” said Mathe.
The police National Task Team took control of the investigation. On Monday, at approximately 20:00, the Task Team led a multidisciplinary operation, which eventually led to the suspects’ arrest.
“As soon as the suspects arrived to collect the ransom money, the team swooped in on the four suspects and rescued the little girl,” said the police spokesperson.
The authorities also seized two unlicensed firearms and two vehicles at the scene.
The three-year-old was returned to her family unharmed.
The new National Commissioner of SAPS, General Fannie Masemola, said the authorities were closing in on organised criminal syndicates involved in kidnappings for ransom.
“This should definitely serve as a deterrent to others who are involved in such criminality. We are surely closing in on these syndicates, their days are indeed numbered”, said General Fannie Masemola
Mathe added that parents and guardians are encouraged to provide the full names and details of their next of kin or guardians so that strangers do not have easy access to children at schools.

“Ah, in this tumult wild, What shall become of that self locked in me.” – It has a powerful message that this time the organisers have not chosen a new motto for the Madách (Imre) International Theatre Meeting, but kept the quote chosen before the pandemic.
As you all know, in 2020, the Madách International Theatre Meeting, MITEM, was cancelled due to the pandemic situation. We have twice tried to postpone the programme to a new date, but COVID-19 did not allow us to hold the festival. The good news is that MITEM can be hold this year, in 2021, between September 17th and October 9th. The details of the rich programme will be presented to the press on Monday, August 23rd.
THE POET OF THE STAGE – Attila Vidnyánszky talks to Silviu Purcărete about the staging of THE TRAGEDY OF MAN
After the presentation of personal testimonies and poems that evoke the figure of the poet, a portrait film of him will be screened. A multilingual, representative volume that consists of the text of the performance presented, illustrated by photos, will be available for purchase.
György Szabados and Éva Kanalas gave a single concert at the Fonó House of Music in Buda, in 1997. It was preceded by a one-and-a-half-year period of creation and rehearsals. Its sound recording turned up again in 2017, after a long time.
The National Theatre informs you, with profound sadness, that early last morning (16 April 2021) after a prolonged illness, Mari Törőcsik -- Outstanding Artist and Artist of Merit, celebrated as both the Nation's Actress and the Nation's Artist, two-time winner of the Mari Jászai Prize, in addition to the Béla Balázs Prize and the Kossuth Grand Prize -- passed away at 86 years of age. She is a permanent member of the Company of Immortals. The National Theatre regards Mari Törőcsik as our dearly departed.
The National Theater informs its audience that, due to the coronavirus epidemic affecting our country, the Operative administration body and the Government of Hungary, according to the decree effective as of today, will not hold its plays and performances from today onwards until this decision is revoked. The Madách International Theater Festival is postponed by the National Theater on the recommendation of the Ministry of Human Resources.
A documentary was made of this year's MITEM festival.

Sometimes we need more psy ops in our life. Being an eminent fan of the Discworld series, Reddit user [rdmiller3] decided he needed to build Lord Vetinari’s clock. This fictional clock was placed in the waiting room for Lord Vetinari in several of the Discworld books. Although the clock keeps accurate time overall, it sometimes tics irregularly and out of sync. The reason? To whittle away the minds of whoever waits for Lord Vetinari.
The build uses a standard battery-powered analog clockwork. The ticking mechanism is just a magnet mounted inside a coil driven iron core. The coil leads were disconnected from the clock circuit and connected to digital inputs of an Arduino. With a few random() calls, the clock keeps accurate but random time.
Unfortunately, the clock stopped working after a few weeks because the 5 V from the Arduino was, “pounding it way too hard.” [rdmiller3] says a few resistors and LEDs for the voltage drop would make for a more reliable circuit, though. Check out the hard to watch video of the clock in action after the break.

Bobby Freeman was a Bay Area soul singer whose career spanned most of soul music's prime years, from the mid-50s into the early 70s. His best known material centered around the Swim, a dance he may or may not have pioneered. Singles such as "Come on and Swim (parts 1 and 2)" and "S-W-I-M" did pretty well on the R&B charts, the former cracking the Top Five in 1964.
In '64, Freeman began recording for Autumn Records, where a young musician named Sly Stewart was getting his start as a producer. In just a few short years, of course, Stewart would go on to form Sly and the Family Stone. And while the sound doesn't necessarily hint at the music Stewart would go on to make with that group, these early Autumn singles are as notable for his genius arrangements and production as they are for Freeman's voice.
The standout track from that period is this one, "That Little Old Heartbreaker Me," the b-side to the 1964 single "S-W-I-M."

Case History is a fitting title for Kevin Coyne's first album, as the music is inspired by his time working as a drug counselor and social worker in an institution for the mentally ill. Released in 1971, it's a bluesy English folk record that doesn't sound too far off from what Led Zeppelin had done on side two of Zeppelin III right around the same time. It's a record of serious alienation and suffering, although not without its moments of light and redemption.
Coyne went on to be one of the first artists signed to Virgin Records, and although his career never grew bigger than a cult UK following, the label supported him faithfully, until he suffered a nervous breakdown in 1981 (after which he continued to release music on Cherry Red). He continued making music, literature and art until his death in 2004.

Almost more compelling to me than the lost classics of the acid casualties and unknowns that make great music and then disappear are the lost classics of those acid casualties and unknowns that make great music and then find Jesus. For some, that chapter is where the story ends or turns into something far less interesting. But I think the salvation sought by the born-again is driven by very much the same spirit that brought those people to the drugs and the craziness, and perhaps even the music, too. And in that sense, I think it paints a much broader picture of the quest these souls, and perhaps all souls, are on.
Is religion the quick fix? The easiest answer? Sure. But for some people, perhaps the demons are so big that you need a bigger, broader answer. Just as you can't perform surgery with a chainsaw, you also can't cut down a tree with a scalpel. And again, the grandeur in the act of actually going so far as to repent and be born-again is borne of the same grandeur that makes the psychosis (and the music it produces) so compelling. Remember, too, even Dylan succumbed to the arms of the lord at some point.
Freddy K is one such acid-casualty turned Christian Fellow. In the late 80s, in various parts of Massachusetts, he and a revolving cast of bandmates pieced together two albums and a scrapped EP of snarling, druggy garage rock, very much in the vein of the snarling, druggy garage rock that Roky Erickson had been making a few years earlier. Recorded as Freddy K and the Breeze, 1987's "Immortally Wounded" and 1988's "Random Enforcement" were nothing more than regional curiosities, with his drug-fueled antics apparently receiving more attention than the music he was putting out.
The story pretty much trails off there and doesn't pick up again until Freddy reemerges from the woods, now saved, a "follower of Jesus," in his words, with a double CD collection of songs called "God Bless What?"
Here are two songs from his 1988 album "Random Enforcement."
Freddy K & The Breeze - Clean Friends
Freddy K & The Breeze - Kids Were Tough As Nails
While not as drug-fueled or psychotic, Death is another group of musicians who made intense and inspired rock and roll before finding the lord. In 1976, inspired by the local sounds of the MC5 and the Stooges, three black brothers from Detroit self-released a 7" of driven, politically-charged protopunk. Shortly thereafter, the group disbands and the brothers reform as a Christian rock band called The Fourth Movement.
"Politicians In My Eyes" is one of the greatest punk songs you will ever hear. Five minutes of blistering, melodic rage, halfway between Thin Lizzy and Bad Brains. Thankfully, Drag City will be reissuing the two songs, along with a whole EPs worth of unreleased material, in February.
