Good for you. Asphyx is awesome and should have more fans.

Yeah, it's just that the other day I caught this guy from my English class who I barely paid attention to before (and we've been classmates for a couple of years, so yeah.....) listening to Sodom. I asked him if he was into metal, and he answered that yes, he had gotten into the style some time ago and that he was already getting into heavier stuff. I offered him my headphones to listen to what I had been playing the whole way there (Asphyx's Deathhammer), and he liked it, but then we had to get into the classroom, so the conversation ended there.....
Now, fast forward to a few minutes ago, and he sends me a message asking for the name of "that awesome album you made me listen to the other day". Gosh, I know it sounds dumb and childish, but it feels cool to see someone evolve in the ways of metal

I've only listened to Last One on Earth by Asphyx and it's pretty rad. Wouldn't call myself a big fan of them, though.
Now I'm just curious, but has anyone here listened to The Avalanche's Since I Left You? I recently just picked it up and I can't stop listening to it. The band took 3500 different vinyl samples and made a whole album out of all of that. It's cool as shit.

Nice work, Xlxlx. 'Deathhammer' is definitely one of my favourite albums of the year, though the first of Asphyx's music that I heard as well; once I get the time, I'll be working my way through that Asphyx 'best of' list that mysognisticfeminist posted in this thread.
Just ordered a Mournful Congregation 'The June Frost' shirt; here's hoping it makes it safely home to me...

I feel so happy because i can listen now to music in my computer since...2 weeks.
Is really a magic experience to listen to music at this hour of the night.

I mean, I can listen to music in my computer, just not after 10pm...
What... why?
No head/earphones I suppose >_>
I usually leave music on my laptop and go off to sleep...of late, it's been the GSBC album.

I didn't find Deathammer all that interesting to be honest, I was more entertained by Death the Brutal way.

It really does. I got my friend back when I was in school and sixth form into bands like iron maiden, judas priest and black sabbath after he started listening to disturbed and linkin park. He got into some black metal as well, mainly mayhem and dark fortress IIRC. He went to see dark fortress and satyricon a few years back, was hoping to meet up with him at the weekend to see dark fortress again, but he was busy. He missed out on a really great set.
My brother listened to bands like iron maiden, judas priest etc, as well as classic rock like Queen, and pink floyd who he got me into, for years but never touched any extreme metal at all, he got into Slayer a bit, but only show no mercy. And then at some point last year I think, he just suddenly got into black, death and thrash metal completely out of the blue. Me and my Dad were taking it in turns to put songs on at some point and he just came downstairs and was saying how awesome it was, and asked me to put lots of good extreme metal on his ipod. He really likes Entombed now. I guess if you listen to NWOBHM and live with avid metalheads for years it was always going to rub off on him.
Here at uni our neighbours don't seem to give a shit about sound (seriously, we had a fire alarm going off for 45 minutes and all 6 of us were outside, and they didn't once come to see what was up or anything) so playing music any time of the day is an option, just depends on my housemates for the volume. Normally late at night I don't want to listen to it too loudly anyway, and the guy in the room next door will sleep through WWIII, so can play stuff at a decent level at 3am with no complaints. Usually ambient/drone stuff.
My neighbors are the opposite. I can't play my guitar without headphones plugged into the amplifier.

Maybe they just choose not to say anything. My neighbors play their horrid hip-hop so loud that my windows vibrate, but I haven't the courage to confront them about it so I just silently listen to Bolt Thrower and have have revenge fantasies instead.

It's rare that I play music LOUD to be fair, but maybe they do just not say anything. My housemates tell me if I do, and vice versa. At nighttime it's usually at the volume I could drift to sleep at if I wanted to, so not loud, but couldn't do that at home. At home my neighbour came round and shouted at me at one in the afternoon for listening to music loudly. As for guitar I only really play either acoustically or with headphones on, so don't really bother anyone with that.
First thing my housmate did today when leaving his room was go for a cigarette and then cough away for minutes. Always makes me feel superior when I hear smokers coughing away.

I'm never sure whether people who unreasonably complain about quiet amounts of noise, or people who make a lot of noise, are more annoying. I was living above the latter and below the former last year, which meant being kept awake at night to the sound of drinking games, while at the same time literally having security called around once because we were watching a DVD.
Fuck neighbors. I'll do my best to find a house that's fairly isolated from other people when I have the chance. Really, I dislike the mere concept of neighbors, although then again, we had quite a few shitty ones in the past, so I might be biased. I remember that, when I was like seven years old or so, we had this crazy policeman guy who lived just next door, and you could hear through the freakin' walls how he slapped his wife and kid. My parents never denounced him though, mostly out of fear. Dude was nuts.
EDIT: Yesterday I bought Mayhem's Ordo ad Chao. Don't know why, as I don't even like Mayhem. I just felt compelled to buy the album..... What should I be expecting, guys?
It sounds like a vaguely well thought out collection of rumbles.
Some hints of Ordo, but mostly just Chao.
So, it's a messy album, eh?
Ancient_Sorrow wrote:
please submit that as a review.
That really is a perfect description of it
It's a special album. Not riff-based, but damn awesome.
It's certainly something.
I would probably call it my favourite mayhem release, my huge backpatch on my Kutte is a Ordo ad chao one. I just have really gone off of Mayhem after seeing them live in 2010 when they were pretty abysmal.
OceanOfViolence
Holy shit, Liege Lord reunited?!?!?! Looks like it's only for Keep it True next year, but I'm really hoping they play some shows in the U.S.
Nucleus: Death Metal
Special Delivery: Grindcore
That's your favourite? I'm fond of stuff after DMDS. Deathcrush though; hooooooly fuck that album is insane.
There isn't anything they've done I dislike really. DMDS is the only one I have on CD so probably at least on a par, but then my dad has Ordo ad chao on CD, so never felt the need to buy it when I still lived at home, and haven't gotten around to getting it since.
Whore from Chimera is fucking awesome too.
While the Chimera title track is probably my favourite post-Euronymous Mayhem song, I have to say I really enjoy Grand Declaration of War... sometimes. It's not something I listen to much, and it could be a lot better than it is, but the clean vocals and general tinfoil-and-Teflon sound of the album is refreshing - it's as if NASA spent a few months preparing black-metal for space, which obviously involved making it shiny and white.
I often feel Mayhem would probably feel, and indeed be perceived, as a lot more solid if they'd stopped after DMDS, but at the same time I like most of what they've done.
Going through Ordo ad Chaos' fifth track right now, and you know what? I actually find this thing kind of catchy, if only in a massively fucked up way. Attila's vocals make my hair bristle though. Dude's creepy.
To be completely honest Mayhem should have broken up after Dead's suicide. Attilla should have continued with Tormentor and allowed Mayhem to disolve into obscurity.
Eh, all of the drama sorrounding the band is of little concern to me. Besides, I don't get what's so sacred about Dead. Yeah, sucks that he killed himself, but the guy was also a notably disturbed individual, not to mention that there was nothing special about his vocals. I much prefer Attila's multi-faceted, unorthodox delivery to Dead's monotone rasps (and I've just started listening to Mayhem). Mmmmm, wonder if I should give DMDS another shot.....
Also, the laughter in Key to the Storms =
Yeah, Attila's delivery on Ordo is genuinely creepy. That album is a maelstrom of wtf-ery.
I'm looking forward to the new Mayhem album. If there is one thing we can induce from their other records, it's that it's gonna be uncompromising and will not give half a shit about trends - and that alone will make it interesting if nothing else will. Chimera is great, and I respect GDOW and Ordo Ad Chao. They are not visionary like DMDS and Deathcrush, but they keep the mind awake.
Dead was lame. Dude's vocals sucked. As for Ordo Ad Chao, I enjoy that album but the extremely weird and muffled production job and no fucks given songwriting on certain songs make it something I put on very rarely.
One can argue endlessly about Dead's vocals, but his lyrics were pretty cool.
It's not his vocals that I could care about. But the guitar tone. They were a complete different band prior to DMDS.

Are you out of your mind? Their only two worthwhile releases besides Deathcrush were released in the mid 90s.
Actually, I haven't heard Out from the Dark, so I can't say if it's any good.

Yeah Out from the Dark is probably the best recording with Dead on it. I say this as a Mayhem fanboy.
Also Eyehategod tonight woooooooooo!
Today, I spread my buttcheeks at a 150 year old Eastern European man.
No, I will not provide context for that statement.
I just pulled an all nighter, have work in two and a half hours and am listening to Insect Warfare at 7:30 in the morning because fuck the world, I need some grindcore.
EDIT: Should probably specify that was a "can't sleep" all-nighter not a "went out and get on the piss" one. But yeah, Insect Warfare - awesome band. Shame only one full-length came out.

Chatting with Casee Allen On His New Album and More
Country Underdog got the chance to sit down and talk with Casee Allen, a talented singer and songwriter out of the small town of Coshocton, Ohio who for the past 6 years has lived in Nashville. Casee just released his E.P. "Hindsight 2020" and we are very excited about the path he is taking his new music. Casee is one of the most humble and genuine artists we have spoken to. Just one of the most humble and genuine people we have spoken to period. Casee is a hardworking father who's first full music project back in 2017 reached #31 on the Country Music Album Top 200, with his Debut EP album: "Double You". Our interview with Casee covers his new music, family background, how he got into music, and even coming full circle by working with his childhood country music hero. We are very excited to see the success of his raw, authentic, stripped-down, and vulnerable new E.P. He called it "The key to his diary".

Interview With Casee
By Country Underdog founder Reed McDonald
Reed: "Casee, tell us about the songs on the E.P."
Casee:
1. Hindsight 2020 – "The intro track is about what the record means to me, it's my first year I am no longer in my 20's in the year "2020", a new decade, and my philosophy on the term "Hindsight 2020"."
2. Just Some Guy From Ohio – "Just some guy from Ohio" is about who I am, why I am the way I am, and the first time I've expressed myself; musically) in a way in which I think the world could use a little more of right now."
3. First Day in Nashville – "Well, it's obviously not the most brilliant song title haha but it's about my first day in Nashville…and I promise you that there's good reason in why I wrote this song. My "First Day in Nashville" was unlike any you've ever heard!"
4. Sonshine – "Is a song about the greatest day of my life, period."
5. Uncle Tim – "Is about my hero, and my best friend. He deserves a heck of a lot more than just a song, but I think everybody needs at least a person in their life like him. That's what this song is all about, and I hope it reminds people to be a ray of light for one another. Knowing that someone is always watching them, no matter the age."
6. Dear Wife – "Was written the same week I had to submit the record for distribution. I basically wrote a letter to my future wife, giving a heads up before she gets into this mess haha. And it is actually a phone voice recording from the day I wrote the song, and I submitted it that way."
Reed: "Are there any songs you're going to push as a single?"
Casee: "You know what? I thought let's just put this thing out and see what people think, and see what song people tend to naturally gravitate towards. I'm interested to see what people really like. So if I'm being honest: no, not really".
Reed: "Growing up in Ohio, how did family and external influences shape your country music?"
Casee: "The last thing on earth I thought I would become was a recording artist, I never wanted to do it. Everyone in my family had the dream at some point in their lives, but it was never taken to that level, the extra mile that it takes wasn't put in. Singing was something you really loved to do but the extra effort wasn't always there. My dad went from singing country, to singing blues, then to being a singer-songwriter, my mom & stepdad sang in a local cover band, and i also had 1 uncle & 1 aunt who sang locally growing up. Music is definitely something I was raised on, in more ways than 1. It was/is a huge part of my personal life, more than anything else. Music is my therapy, It's the way I express myself."
Reed: "Who else do you credit when it comes to shaping you as a person and artist?"
Casee: "First and foremost, God. Second, my "Uncle Tim". Third, is a guy that I give a ton of credit to: Mr. Neal McCoy (known predominantly for his songs like"The Shake", "Billy's got his beer goggles on", and "Wink").
When I was just 8 years old, I was going through an extremely difficult time at home. So…This guy called my school! Called me out of class over the loudspeaker. It had nothing to do with music, he knew I looked up to him and just wanted to shed some bright light in my time of darkness. Let's just say I didn't have the best childhood. But fortunately, I had an amazing teacher who cared, and somehow found a way to contact him and set this up. It's a day I'll never forget. A simple phone call, a few simple words, and a couple of CD's helped changed my outlook on life as a young boy.
"Just after deciding to move to Nashville & just before actually moving there, my band and I were watching Neal perform at a festival in Ohio. We hadn't talked in several years, and I wanted to shake his hand and basically just thank him as a grown man. Oh, and let him know that I was taking a shot at the music industry! Haha, so I stood outside of his band's bus so they couldn't leave. The only way they could leave was to run my ass over.
Reed: "What did you do next?"
Casee: "I handed his security detail the newspaper article from when he called me at school, back in 1998…he sent it back out with an autograph.
So I then sent it back in and said: "I don't want his autograph, I want him to know that the messed up little boy he talked to, is now a grown man and I want to thank him personally." That I'm still messed up (haha), but just a cleaner mess now haha. He comes back out in basically pajamas and obviously just learned that it was me as a grown adult. I let him know that I just moved to Nashville, and he said "Is there any way I can talk you out of it? That's just such a tough town!" I said"Nope, one day you'll hear my name come out of your bus speakers, followed by a song. And someday soon, I hope that we share a stage together, I think it'll happen."
Reed: "Wow man that is amazing…to come full circle like that!"
Casee: "it actually gets better than that even!
So…2 years ago I opened up for Neal, and then performed on stage with him!"
"Since then, he's become one of my mentors. Neal and I collectively have a really exciting 2020 coming, can't leak the details yet though…"
Reed: "How did you finally end up playing music since it was never a big dream?"
Casee: "Well it's kinda funny, actually. After high school, I was Cagefighting, going to school, coaching wrestling, and selling cars for a living. In the midst of it all, I got dumped for the first time, by the girl I had always figured I'd someday marry. So after I hung it up with fighting, I had to find another avenue to release my pain: Around a bonfire in "Uncle Tim's" backyard, learning to play/sing songs with my brother. Next thing I knew, we were playing at bigger and bigger shows. Just a year later, we had got the opportunity to do a show with Kip Moore, performing on a patio in front of the big stage, just before he took the big stage.
After the show that night, I asked him for a piece of advice: "ya gotta move to Nashville ASAP & bust that ass!".
I thought "Nah man, I gotta finish college, and I have a life I'm building here in Ohio."
And Kip(thankfully), basically thought I was dumbass, haha, so I ended up leaving for Nashville (within hours) to visit for the very first time!"
Reed: "When you made your move to Nashville tell us about the journey: How did it make you feel with, everything happening so quickly?"
Casee: "My very first night in Nashville I scored a full-time gig with Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Honky-Tonk Central, performing 6 / sometimes 7 nights a week. From there I moved on to a few more venues on broadway, before we started to get a lot of tour dates & gain some traction."
"I still perform in Nashville when we aren't on the road, most of the time recently it's been at Blake Shelton's "Ole Red".
Reed: "What's a dream venue you would want to play at in 2020?"
Casee: "I've got some lofty goals, but they've never really included too many specific venues: I'd say the "Grand Ole Opry" or "The Ryman Auditorium" would be the up at the top for me though."
Reed: "With us being based out of Texas, we have to ask: What do you think about playing in the Texas Market?"
Casee: "I have a pretty decent following in parts of Texas, but y'all are like an entirely separate country in ways! One time in Texas I decided to take songs around to radio stations to see what they thought. I would get so much love at one station and then "You call this country" at another. Haha, it's an interesting market, but that's why I love it."
Reed: "What separates you from any other artist? What makes you different?"
Casee: "What separates me from any artist I've ever met? That's easy, the fact that I have full custody of my 6-year-old son Jace, and play the roles of both his father & his mother… I don't get to have the 3-4 roommates and live on next to nothing if I had to like a lot of folks are able to do, lucky dogs haha. I forced myself to build a real business from it, early on, that would bring in enough to comfortably raise my son & give him a life that I only dreamed of having as a child. So far, it's worked, thank God!"
Reed: "Any memorable stories that you have had in your career?"
Casee: "Good or bad? Hahaha"
"Honestly, I've opened up for just about every major act in the industry that I would ever want to open up for, minus a few played huge festivals and all kinds of amazing shows. But, the most exciting crazy story… Would have to be getting the call to come out to Texas to open up for Neal McCoy. To me, nothing beats that, it's who I looked up to as a kid. It was a dream come true. Of course, I have other things I loom to accomplish, but It was just so great to look him into the eyes and say "Told ya you'd be seeing me again, soon!" Haha Then from there, to being able to just call him "friend", to be able to pick up the phone at any given moment and ask him anything. That's what it's all about, and I never take it for granted. He's the example that I want to set for my son and artists who may someday look up to me. But If you would've told 8-year-old casee that I would someday call Neal McCoy a "friend", I would say you're out of your damn mind. Haha"
Reed: "Anything else you'd like to add"
Casee: "Yes, download my EP Album, "Hindsight 2020"! Haha, and thank you for having me, and for supporting a "Country Underdog" like myself!
God bless y'all, and God bless country music fans!"

Recapping The 2020 Country Underdog Award Show (WINNERS)
The 2020 Country Underdog award show was a big undertaking from us.

What do big dreams, great musical chemistry, and drinking Keystone Light all have in common? Pecos & The Rooftops.
Pecos & The Rooftops are a band based out of Lubbock, Texas that has been gaining traction all around the Red Dirt and Texas Country scene. Their new E.P. "Red Eye" came out last Friday and has received a ton of praise. Many people say it only takes one hit song to kickstart your career, and with them, that is true on a whole new level. Their first single, "This Damn Song" has been streamed over 2 million times since its release last April. Not too shabby for a group of best friends making music for fun.
Now their new E.P. "Red Eye" is making waves in the community with heaps of fans taking to social media to show their love with posts like "Whole album on repeat", "I've got a new favorite song from this E.P. every day", and one guy even said he signed up for Spotify premium just for the album. That is amazing. Lead singer Pecos Hurley's deep, gruff, and recognizable voice is absolutely perfect for their sound and lyrics. Their songs are typically about heartbreak with slow melody but have twists with a rockin' country edge and it works big time. Our favorite song on the E.P. is "Leave Me Lonely" which we have listened to at least 100 times the past few days. The song was originally written by Pecos Hurley and his friend Will Mckenzie in 2017 about a bad breakup.
We originally sat down last August with Pecos & The Rooftops to discuss "This Damn Song" and the band's roots back in August when the song was just starting to gain popularity. All the guys are Texas-born, drink Keystone, and have big dreams to pursue a career in music. We asked them about their music influences growing up and how they have shaped the band. "We started off with old country souls like George Strait, and now are more influenced by Koe Wetzel, Flatland Cavalry, and The Turnpike Troubadours." Their favorite part about their line of work is getting to play the music they want and just flat out jam.
"This Damn Song" was a co-write between lead singer Pecos Hurley and fellow band member Kalen Davis. Kalen came up with the main chorus after going through a breakup with a girl he thought was going to be the one. So one drunk night up at 4 am he was playing the piano and came up with the chorus, "Hate that I'm still up, drunk as fuck, At 4 A.M. writing this damn song". Pecos wrote all the verses and the last chorus. His story behind it: "I dated this girl for two years and we were planning on getting engaged, it didn't happen, so I went out Lubbock after the fallout and met a girl from Stephenville. We started talking and there could have been a future but I cut it loose because I wasn't ready for another girl yet. Got my hopes up." It's very unique for a song to be written from the perspective of two different heartbreaks.
The band is eager to start playing bigger venues. That is all starting to happen beginning THIS FRIDAY when they will be opening for Kolby Cooper at The Silver Saloon in Terrell, Tx. Country Underdog will be there and we can't wait! There are big things in store for this talented group of friends and we are just happy to be along for the ride.

Recently thirty associates from Evolve IP came together at LaMancha Animal Rescue in Unionville, Pennsylvania to volunteer time. Cleaning out cages, washing dog beds, and walking the adorable (and adoptable!) dogs were among the tasks that Evolve IP associates assisted with while at LaMancha. Our volunteer time to help our local community is through a program called Evolve Cares that Evolve IP takes pride in as part of its mission.
At Evolve IP we want to give back to the communities in which we live and work. Since 2009, we have donated over 6,000 volunteer hours and over 6 million dollars to numerous wonderful causes such as Philabundance, Cradles to Crayons, LaMancha Animal Rescue, and 45 other local organizations.
Physical desktop computers with locally installed operating systems and applications no longer make sense for the modern business world.
For many associates, it would be impossible to give up work hours to help these great causes without Evolve IP's Desktop as a Service (DaaS). Located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, Evolve IP is the hub for associates who come from neighboring areas in every direction. While associates prepare for a commute to the office, asking them to work at the office and then meet in Unionville, Conshohocken, or Center City Philadelphia in the same day can be out of the question.
With DaaS, associates are able to work-from-home or any location with internet on nearly any device. This frees up associates' time that may have otherwise been spent commuting. DaaS is often coupled with giving associates a better work-life balance, and it certainly can, but at Evolve IP we also utilize DaaS for our company's work-service balance. What other work balances can DaaS make easier? The options are endless.

Just How Much Of An Economist Was Gandhi?
by V. Anantha Nageswaran - Oct 8, 2021 08:09 PM +05:30 IST
The cover of the book, Economist Gandhi.
Jerry Rao makes a sincere attempt at presenting the economist Gandhi to his readers. The problem is that he has very little to work with.
Economist Gandhi: The Roots and the Relevance of the Political Economy of the Mahatma. Jaithirth Rao. Penguin Press. 2021. Price Rs 473. Pages 256.
In my younger days, I had read Alfred Schumacher's Small is Beautiful which was supposed to be modelled on Gandhi's village or self-sufficiency economics. I was also attracted by the work of Ilango, the panchayat union president in the village of Kuthambakkam (near Chennai), who was inspired by Gandhi's idea of a village as a self-sufficient economic unit and tried to implement many of the leader's ideas including on encouraging village youth to forswear alcohol, take up gainful employment and on keeping the village clean, etc.
But, I always used to think that the secret to the enduring appeal of Gandhian economics was that it was never tried with any great enthusiasm in independent India. Had it been done, it might have been discarded sooner. It had its good elements but it cannot be positioned as antagonistic to the need for scale and capital given that India's population had exploded.
Second, the economic growth paradigm had shifted in favour of capital in the economies of the West. They industrialised rapidly based on technological advancement. In turn, it facilitated scale and necessitated more capital. All of these were the consequence of the shift in the relative cost of labour and capital caused by the Black Death which decapitated able-bodied men and made labour scarce and wages excessive.
Given its poverty and rural population, India needed to strike a balance between sufficiency economics and scale economics. One at the exclusion of the other would not have served India well. I am not sure Gandhi understood that.
Whether the appellation, 'Mahatma' fitted him or not is a discussion that will, forever, be inconclusive. It is inevitable that the judgement of a public personality will become more nuanced as time passes. Black or white evaluations will acquire shades of grey. Given that Gandhi started off with a huge advantage in this respect, the risk is entirely titled towards one side.
Notwithstanding the above, I picked up the book, 'Economist Gandhi: The roots and relevance of the political economy of the Mahatma' by Jaitirth Rao aka Jerry Rao ('Jerry' for us in the rest of the document) with genuine curiosity. I am lucky to be in an email group with him. Almost invariably, every mail that he sends out is a rewarding learning experience. The man is widely read and has a deep understanding of Indian and global history and Indian culture. Hence, the burden of my expectation on Jerry Rao was rather high.
Jerry Rao makes a sincere attempt at presenting the economist Gandhi to his readers. The problem is that he has very little to work with. Therefore, he is forced to be repetitive (There are 12 references to Gandhi's approval of the Singer sewing machine) and almost pleads with himself and his readers to accept his premise that Gandhi thought deeply about economics.
We see that in the arguments that he presents to make the case that Gandhi was not opposed to machines and industry. Gandhi was a printer and he used a printing press. Gandhi travelled extensively in trains. Gandhi extolled the launch of a steam ship by the Scindias under the Indian flag and he was proud of the modern mills in Ahmedabad in contrast to the antique and appalling condition of the mills in Manchester. Jerry Rao presents these to make his case for Gandhi's love of machines after stating rather upfront that "reading Hind Swaraj, one cannot but be left with the impression that Gandhi was opposed to machines, large-scale industrialization, and large factories."
If Gandhi was not opposed to machines, per se, but that Gandhi's concern seemed to emanate from his concern over what machines might do to human psyche at a subliminal level, then Gandhi would have made that clear in his writings in Hind Swaraj or elsewhere. The author does not produce evidence of such a nuanced distinction.
Jerry Rao's statement that Gandhi's support of free markets should not surprise anyone still manages to surprise the reader because he provides no direct evidence to support his assertion. However, it is gratifying to note that Gandhi set his face against state-imposed socialism and violent overthrow of the rich or confiscation of their wealth. Jerry Rao is on solid ground because he provides concrete and unmistakable evidence from Gandhi's writings to that effect.
Gandhi's view that violent approaches to re-arrange the balance between capitalist and the labour class would leave societies unstable afterwards has proved to be prescient.
Similarly, Jerry Rao cites Gandhi clearly expressing his preference for equality of opportunities and his acceptance of the inevitability of unequal outcomes given that all do not have the same capacity. Gandhi wrote that he would allow a person of higher intellect to earn more and that he would not cramp his talent.
This obvious logic eludes many these days and Jerry Rao does well to write, "Gandhi was more hopeful that he could and he would influence the wealthy, while the socialists were likely to continue as his critics and his political adversaries."
Jerry Rao is surprisingly defensive in explaining Gandhi's reading of the Gita. Gandhi read the document not as exhorting warfare but as describing the duel that went on perpetually in human minds. That is as good as it gets.
The Gita is a call to action without attaching oneself or one's self to the fruits of action. It is not just to act without any concern for the fruits of the action. Even if the setting of the context for the 'Upadesam' (advice) was a battlefield, we should remember that the lord has gone to the Kauravas as a peace emissary before declaring that war was inevitable. Once it became inevitable that a war had to be and will be fought, he exhorted Arjuna, belonging to the warrior class, to do his duty or his swadharma.
In any case, the chapter on Gandhi and Gita does not necessarily fit into the book.
In the final chapter, Jerry Rao emphasises that Gandhi's idea of wealth as an asset held in trust by the wealthy for the benefit of society is an appropriate antidote to the evils of modern capitalism. He is quite right on that.
Indeed, if much of the book had been dedicated to how capitalism could have served capitalists and the society equally well had it reflected the spirit of trusteeship that Gandhi advocated, it would have seated the economist Gandhi in readers' minds more securely.
Clearly, the way capitalism has evolved in the last 40 years in the West with its 'winner take all' mindset has alienated the rest of the society. Just before the US presidential elections in 2016 and in 2020, many millennials said that they preferred socialism over capitalism. Although state-sponsored socialism is no panacea for the ills visited upon societies by capitalism, the alienation that the practice of capitalism has created could have been avoided, had the principle of trusteeship been imbibed.
In India too, businesses would do well to imbibe that spirit. It does not mean that all business persons should write away their wealth as they approach the autumn of their lives. It is about how they conduct themselves while they run businesses or lead enterprises. Compensating themselves versus compensating employees and payment to suppliers on time are two examples. India has one of the highest managerial compensation to median compensation ratios in the world.
Further, stories of how large businesses starve small suppliers of working capital by delaying payments or not paying them at all are as tragic as they are legendary. The contribution of Indian packaged manufacturers to Indians' obesity, diabetes and other health complications is through their stubborn refusal to attach colour codes to the healthiness of their products. These are some examples of how the notion of trusteeship is missing in action in India.
Wealth inequality has worsened the most in India and China in the last 30 years according to the Global Financial Stability Report of the International Monetary Fund published in April 2020. Gandhi's exhortation thus remains highly relevant.
The book would have made an important contribution by discussing in depth some of these issues.
It is true that Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments is likely more relevant for the twenty-first century than his Wealth of Nations. The latter might have fitted with twentieth century capitalism. Andrew Haldane, former Chief Economist of the Bank of England, said as much in his remarks to the Post-Crash Economics Society at the University of Manchester in 2010. The PCES created by students at the university sought to remake and redesign the economics curriculum. They failed.
Further, the Covid-19 pandemic that the world is still dealing with might have lent some credibility to Gandhi's views on decentralised village-centric and dispersed economic growth. Urban agglomerations are easy prey to microparasites. Dispersed economic activity and sufficiency economics are worth re-examining because they may be good for the environment and good for our health. Hence, a thorough examination of the relevance of Gandhi's self-sufficiency economics for the twenty-first century with some suggestions for avoiding the pitfalls of protectionism that might come with it as a package would have served policymakers and the readers well.
The exasperation of the intellectual-cum-thinker Jerry Rao with the mission that the writer Jerry Rao has undertaken comes through rather clearly in the chapter on Adam Smith and Gandhi. Sample these:
So where do all these hair-splitting discussions and our hypotheses of Gandhi's thought processes leave us, apropos of his views on property, wealth, trusteeship, capitalism, socialism and so on?...
Attempting to make an intellectual connection between Gandhi and Adam Smith, the 'father' of economics, may appear to be a formidable task, given that Gandhi is popularly associated with asceticism and anti-industrialism….
…. I submit that my approach in seeking parallels between the agnostic Adam Smith and the religious or spiritual Gandhi is not particularly convoluted or unrealistic….
….The attempt to establish an intellectual linkage between Smith and Gandhi should not be seen as trying to force a square peg into a round hole….
….It is easy to dismiss evidence of congruence between the agnostic Scottish economist and the religious Gujarati Bania politician as merely digging up isolated quotations out of context and trying to force-fit analogies and similarities.
One praiseworthy section of the book is the one that deals with Gandhi's views on the appropriate education curriculum for the independent India. Jerry Rao's passion and conviction shine through rather well in his exposition of 'Nai Talim' and its relevance to modern India. 'Nai Talim' placed a lot of emphasis on vocational training and apprenticeship.
Independent India had given short shrift to vocational training. It was looked down upon.
Academic degrees were coveted more than the acquisition of practical skills and vocational skills. With all his marketing wisdom acquired through stints in consumer banking and computer software entrepreneurship, Jerry Rao points out the flaws in some of the language used to propagate the idea of 'Nai Talim'. That was perceptive. Words matter and the imagery they convey matter. They are key to the difference between success and failure. Also, his short biography of J C Kumarappa, who was an ardent champion of 'Nai Talim' is very informative and instructive.
Another important message, although it is not relevant to the title of the book, is in Chapter 3:
The key learning from this exploration of Ahmedabad's business history is that social institutions like the Mahajans and the Nagarsheths seem to have had an amazing continuity across rigid periods of history (the rigidity being in the eyes of the beholder rather than in the historical events themselves) and that the 'theoretical framework' that Banerjee et al. posit, which is simultaneously Indian and universal, can arise from the actual workings of these social institutions. Some of the nuances of these theories are waiting for those who have eyes to read the humble Gujarati khaatapatras, not just Latin-laden common law case histories or William Jonesian Sanskrit texts,...
By and large, Indians have not invested in learning about India through Indian experiences, Indian lens. Although this has nothing to do with Gandhi, the economist, it is an important message from the book.
In the final analysis, in his well-meaning desire to establish that Gandhi had well-formed views on economics and economic policy, I feel that Jerry Rao has strained too hard without much to show for it.
Perhaps, he has served up an appetiser and that the main course will follow.

2019 Hall of Fame Preview: Ballot Newcomers
Ballot History
December 3, 2018 March 10, 2019 Ryan Vooris2019Andy Pettitte, Lance Berkman, Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Todd Helton
Welcome to the second of our three 2019 Hall of Fame Ballot Previews. Last week, I looked at the players who are returning to the 2019 HOF ballot. In this installment, we look at the newcomers to the ballot.
Of note: I'm only going to go into detail about players who I feel have a shot at election.
Mariano Rivera: Trevor Hoffman is in. Mariano Rivera was much better than Trevor Hoffman. You can fill out the rest of the equation.
Patrick's guess: 98%
Roy Halladay: We already compared Halladay to Mussina, but evaluating Doc's Hall of Fame candidacy is a bit tricky. Take a look at this comparison:
Halladay: 203-105, 131 ERA+, 64.3 WAR/50.6 WAR7, two Cy Young Awards, two runner ups, eight top five finishes
Johan Santana: 139-78, 136 ERA+, 51.6 WAR/45 WAR7 two Cy Young Awards, five top five finishes
There are some big differences: 64 wins and 12.7 WAR aren't things to handwave away. Those extra finishes high up in the Cy voting will matter a lot. And while Halladay doesn't have an extensive postseason resume, he had an iconic moment when he threw a no-hitter in the 2010 NLDS.
Still, Johan Santana didn't just fail to get elected. He got one-and-doned by nearly the same group of voters who will be considering Halladay. The fact remains: it is very hard to get elected to the Hall of Fame with only 390 starts. There are just 28 pitchers in the Hall of Fame with that many starts or fewer. One was Satchel Paige, who is obviously not a good comparison. Ditto the half-dozen players with 200 saves or more.
Now that list has 21 names. Eight of them played in the 1800s, which we really can't use as any basis for comparison. So now we're down to 13 names. The most recent player to be elected with 390 starts or less was Sandy Koufax, whose career ended in 1966.
So Halladay has a really tough road ahead. Pedro Martinez got in with just 409 starts, but Halladay's peak, as good as it was, simply doesn't match up to Pedro's.
My gut tells me that Halladay's got a good shot nonetheless. He led the league in pitcher WAR four times and his WAR/WAR7's aren't so bad that you'd be reinventing the wheel. The postseason no-no will help. He might not get in right away, but he'll start down a path.
Andy Pettitte: Let me just get this out of the way: I have no clue, or desire, to try and figure out exactly how Andy Pettitte's admitted HGH usage will factor into the minds of the voters. Figuring that out is a fool's errand.
What I can do is analyze his numbers for what they are:
256-153, 117 ERA+, 60.7 WAR/34.1 WAR 7, 2,448 K, 0 Cys, 5 top five finishes
These are good numbers. They're not slam dunk HOF worthy, but they're certainly borderline, and when you factor in his postseason numbers (19-11, 5 rings) that's going to help him. He's got the whole "Core Four" narrative going for him as well.
My gut tells me that he'd probably get in, or be very close, if there were no HGH concerns. He's not a great peak candidate (just three seasons in the Top 10 in WAR) but the career is borderline.
Todd Helton: I'm not anti-Coors Field. I'm firmly of the belief that Larry Walker should be in the Hall of Fame. But it's clear that a lot of voters have issues with it. I'm here to talk about the voters. So if you're pro-Helton, don't get mad at me for what I'm about to ask:
Why would someone who isn't voting for Larry Walker vote for Todd Helton?
Walker: .313/.400/.565, 141 OPS+, 2,160 H, 383 HR, 1,311 RBI, 230 SB, 72.7 WAR/44.6 WAR 7, 7 GG, MVP
Helton: .316/.414/.539, 133 OPS+, 2,519 H, 369 HR, 1,406 RBI, 37 SB, 61.2 WAR/46.5 WAR 7, 3 GG
These numbers are really close. Walker's edge in baserunning helps explain the WAR difference.
But the thing is, Walker accomplished some of these numbers outside of Colorado. He posted a .322/.394/.587 line his final season in Montreal, and even as a 38 year old in St. Louis, posted a combined line of .286/.387/.520.
His MVP award, earned in 1997 also shows that voters weren't disregarding everything he did as being a product of Colorado. Helton, however, never finished better than fifth in the voting.
So I ask again: Why would someone who isn't voting for Larry Walker vote for Todd Helton?
I can't answer that question, so the only conclusion I can draw is that they won't. And since Walker only earned 34.1% of the vote last year, even though I think he'll move up more, there's no way I can put Helton over him. The 34.1% was an increase from the 21.9% he had in 2017, and though he was +40 with returning voters, he did terribly with 1st-time voters (15.54%) so a conservative guess puts him at say, 45%.
That number, to me, is Helton's ceiling. But since Helton's not the candidate Walker is, I think Helton will do worse in the voting.
Lance Berkman: A better candidate than you might think (52.1 WAR, 144 OPS+, .406 OBP, 366 HR, four top 5 MVP finishes) but he's basically Fred McGriff in WAR (52.6) and McGriff has a huge edge in the traditional stats such as HR (493) and RBI (1,550). And since McGriff only got 23.2% of the vote last year, the question I posed in the Todd Helton section applies: Why would someone who isn't voting for McGriff vote for Berkman?
I don't see anyone else getting a second ballot, so that will wrap up this post. (And in case you really want to know, Roy Oswalt is Johan without the CYs and 20 more wins. And we saw how being Johan worked)
Andy Pettitte, Lance Berkman, Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, Todd Helton

Former King's Fork assistant Anthony Joffrion returns to be head football coach
By Larry Rubama
Oscar Smith defensive line coach Anthony Joffrion talks with Ricky Thompson, left, during practice on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019, in Chesapeake, Va. (Kaitlin McKeown)
SUFFOLK — Anthony Joffrion has been named the new head football coach at King's Fork High.
Joffrion replaces Kermit Buggs, who stepped down after one season to become an assistant coach at Norfolk State.
Buggs led the Bulldogs to a 4-8 record that included a stunning win over third-seeded Warhill in the Class 4 Region A quarterfinals. King's Fork, seeded sixth, went on the road and beat the Lions 25-8 before losing to Churchland in the region semifinals.
Joffrion is familiar with King's Fork. He served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at the school. He helped lead the Bulldogs to an 11-2 record and playoff run in 2017.
This past season, he served as an assistant at Oscar Smith High.

"He is a great role model and taught in the school for three years before he left," said King's Fork athletic director Randy Jessee. "He's also a great teacher. Above being a football coach, he's a tremendous asset to bring back to the school. Our kids love him and our staff loves him. We think he's going to be a great football coach."
Joffrion was a defensive tackle at Ocean Lakes High from 2008-11, helping lead the Dolphins to a 38-7 record during his four seasons. He played college football at Chowan and earned All-CIAA and All-American honors.
Jessee said Joffrion earned the respect of the players and the faculty when he was at King's Fork, though he's still in his 20s.
"He does a good job of bringing the old school but makes it relevant today," Jessee said. "He keeps it fun, but I think he's going to demand respect and the values of bringing up the kids in the right way. I can't say enough about him. We're super-excited to have him. "

(Kathmandu, 10 July 2009)—The International Summit of Religious Youth Leaders on Disarmament for Shared Security was inaugurated by His Excellency the President, Dr. Ram Baran Yadav, in Kathmandu on 10 July 2009. Organized by the World Conference of Religions for Peace, the world's largest multi-religious organization accredited with the United Nations and headquartered in New York, the Summit brought together approximately 100 Nepali and 50 international religious and civil society leaders from 25 countries.
Other prominent participants in the Summit included Mr. Kul C. Gautam, former UN Assistant Secretary-General and former Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF; Mr. Taijiro Kimura, Director, UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific; Rev. Kyoichi Sugino, Assistant Secretary General, the World Conference of Religions for Peace; and Ms. Stellamaris Mulaeh, International Coordinator, Religions for Peace Global Youth Network.
Globally nearly 1,000 people a day die from various kinds of weapons. Military spending in 2008 reached a new high of $1.464 trillion, even as the global economy faltered and the majority of the world's population continued to live in extreme poverty. Four billion dollars worth of small arms are traded legally each year, while another $1 billion is traded illegally. The world is confronted with proliferation of nuclear weapons, continued use of cluster munitions, landmines and other conventional weapons, rising military expenditures at the expense of development, and the misuse of religion in support of violence and war.
Mr. Kul Gautam, former UN Assistant Secretary-General and former Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF noted that "Youth are the soul of the society. They are essential to transform culture of violence we are seeing at present to culture of peace, which is an intrinsic and inherent part of Nepali culture. Based on my long association with Religions for Peace, I am confident that this conference will help advance a powerful campaign for peace and non-violence through multi-religious cooperation in Nepal and around the world." He urged the World Conference of Religions for Peace to support a massive campaign to rollback violence in Nepal as a direct follow-up of this conference in Nepal, and consider similar campaigns in other post-conflict countries in the world.

Jose Pierre met Father Medard Laz in June 2011 while attending the ICT in Education Summit organized by the IDB and the Haiti Ministry of Education in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The following is a recent interview with Father Laz.
Father Medard Laz was ordained a Catholic priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1969. He founded Holy Family Parish in Inverness, Illinois in 1984. Since 1999 he has served on weekends in several parishes in the Archdiocese of Miami and the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida. Father Laz is the author and co-founder in 1982 of Rainbows, a support program in schools for children in single-parent or blended families. Over 2 million children have attended the 26-week program in 15 countries. Father Laz has also founded Joyful Again!, a weekend program for widows and widowers that is held throughout the country. He is the author of nine books. Father Laz through Food for the Poor has built a village in Thomazeau, Haiti and two fishing villages in Fond des Blanc and Petit Goave, Haiti, including a school and a clinic.
What are your thoughts about the work that the Children Heritage Foundation is doing in Haiti with Baccalaureate students?
Father Laz: From what I have heard, I am impressed with the work that the Children Heritage Foundation has been doing with Baccalaureate students. Distance learning is spreading rapidly throughout the US. There is no reason why distance learning cannot be successful in Haiti. Students in Haiti are now able to take courses, pass tests, and obtain degrees with other students in the US and around the world. the Children Heritage Foundation is working to open the doors that today's ICT provides for education.
What motivated your own work or effort in Haiti?
Father Laz: I am motivated to work in Haiti because I see so many faces that have no hope. This touches me very deeply. The rest of the world has the resources, far beyond the financial ones, to help transform Haiti. This cannot be done by imposing our culture or values or through handouts. It can only be done through partnerships and collaborations with people throughout Haiti.
What from your perspective is the primary educational challenge for children in Haiti?
Father Laz: Since I am very involved with Inquiry-based learning, I believe that this is the way to transform the way students learn in Haiti. We must move away from rote learning with chalk and blackboard. Inquiry-based learning helps the students to work in small groups, do critical thinking, and problem-solving. The teacher acts more as a guide to direct the children to discover what they need to learn to change their country and to have jobs that are needed in our world when they graduate. Inquiry-based learning does not rely totally on an internet connection to be successful. Computers or tablets that are downloaded with information or books can make Inquiry-based learning successful.
Jose Pierre: On behalf of our team; thank you Father Laz for your time and, for your ongoing support of Haiti's children and related efforts.

Handmade By Lalli: Re-cycled Project.
As part of my course we were asked to make something to wear using Recycled items.
I made a belt with an old corduroy pant and toothpicks. I glued the toothpicks and decorated it with ribbon embroidery and mirror work, and sandwiched it between clear vinyl.
The biggest challenge was sewing the vinyl on my sewing machine, which I tried for about 6-7 hours, and finally gave up trying, and hand-sewed the whole thing.
Hey this looks very cool and hip girl :) Way to go!
Just found your sight, my daughter is a fashion major here in Tennessee and for her runway show this spring, she is doing all "green" designs. Everything is from recyclable stuff. Her teacher just did a little write up about her line in their newsletter. Very cool belt.


The Kiddiebites Silicone Flexible Divided Plate Set is ideal for babies and kids. It encourages self-feeding habits with its unique design.
Kiddiebites offers some amazing products for kids; we love the Silicone Flexible Divided Plate Set. I am happy to tell you about it here on OMG Goodies.
Having a little one means you have to find a plate that helps them learn to feed themselves. When I had the chance to review the Kiddiebites Silicone Divided Plate, I had such high hopes. Kiddiebites did not let me down.
The divided plate has a unique design. There are three divided sections on each plate. The edges of the plates are not like others. They have a slant to them that helps kids keep their food on the spoon or fork. These plates are designed with baby or toddler in mind and truly show it.
The Kiddiebites Silicone Flexible Divided Plate Set comes with two plates. They are easy to use, easy to wash, and easy to stack for storage. The durable silicone means you do not have to worry about your little one throwing this plate at all. The light weight of each plate is nice too!
Our little guy uses the Kiddiebites Silicone Flexible Divided Plate every night. It allows us to separate his food, and he has an easier time using his little fork to get the food to his mouth with little to no mess. They are our favorite plates for him to use. As a matter of fact, we donated all his other plates and only use the Kiddiebites Silicone Flexible Divided Plate.
To purchase a two pack of the Kiddiebites Silicone Flexible Divided Plate Set, click the image link below. It will take you to Amazon where you can purchase the set for the great price of $24.99.

When TransCanada attempts to deliver a Canadian court injunction against a decade-old Wet'suwet'en checkpoint, they run into a second checkpoint instead. The Wet'suwet'en people have never signed treaties with Canada or sold their lands, a fact confirmed by Canada's Supreme Court in 1997 in a landmark case known as Delgamuukw.

Editorial Vol. 24 – Time is against the TTIP
Editorial Vol. 24 – Time…
The chances of the free trade agreement between the US and Europe becoming a reality are dwindling. Was the urgent appeal launched in favour of the deal by outgoing President Obama during Germany's Hannover Messe last April already the swan song for an agreement that Europe needs more urgently than the United States?
Economists from both shores of the Atlantic have the arguments to support their case that an unlimited exchange of goods between Europe and the United States could give Europe's economies a long-lasting boost, hence also a competitive edge and greater stability. However, TTIP opponents on both sides of the Atlantic are rallying increasing numbers of supporters with their fear mongering and anti-progressive ideas. Isolationist thinking is gaining ground in the United States, while a new wave of anti-Americanism is sweeping through Europe, with names like Amazon, Google and Apple being brandished as symbols of Europe's "dependence". In neither the US nor Europe do the political calendars bode well for the agreement. The US will be electing a new President in 2016, while in 2017 there will be landmark parliamentary elections in Germany and presidential elections in France. The American election campaign, with both presumed candidates pandering to populist anti-TTIP sentiments, is already casting a long shadow, while right-wing movements and parties will be doing their bit to counter the agreement in Europe. Understandably, the European Commission and the Member States are seeing dark clouds on the horizon, as the hope of wrapping up the deal by the end of this year fades. In spite of everything they have achieved in the negotiations they seem to be fighting a losing battle with the opponents of the TTIP.
The EU may have made a mistake, however, in failing to publicly discuss in a timely fashion the TTIP opponents' justified concerns about a shift of decision-making powers towards non-democratic institutions (to wit, arbitration tribunals). While the deal may not be a problem in itself, as stated by Mr Obama in Hanover, the "secrecy" in which the Commission
has shrouded the negotiations at the United States' request gives TTIP opponents the fatal impression that the EU has no interest in codetermination and transparency. The proponents of TTIP have understood that this agreement takes the long-term view, above all in setting common standards for research and development on future-oriented projects. If Europe does not pull in the same direction, it will in future have to bow to standards set by the US and others. It may start lagging behind in many areas in which for the time being it is still competitive, a state of affairs that would be dangerously confirmed by a possible future free trade agreement between the US and ASEAN.
It is a pity that any objective discussion about the trade agreement has become impossible. Misunderstandings and prejudices about the other side's interests – epitomised by such buzzwords as "chlorine-washed chicken" – hamper a constructive exchange about the future of European trade relations. However, a lot is at stake: the European nations have recognised that Europe will have no chance of grasping the opportunities of digitalisation if the agreement is buried.

AT THE CINEMA 2022: Locally produced films highlight a year of unprecedented focus, spotlight on the region as a whole
Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell in Savannah-shot 'Devotion' (Sony)
The 25th SCAD Savannah Film Festival wrapped over a month ago, but a lot of the films that screened at the festival are now out in theaters or streaming online.
Some of them are already generating Oscar buzz.
Here is a recap of some films that filmed in our area and others that didn't, but whose stars were at the film festival to talk about their highly anticipated projects.
Filmed in Savannah and surrounding areas is "Devotion." The movie is an American biographical war film based on the 2015 book "Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice" by Adam Makos, which retells the comradeship between naval officers Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner during the Korean War.
The film stars Jonathan Majors as Brown who was attracted to this project after reading it and finding Brown to be "quite contemporary."
"He was marginalized, put down and denied access because of his skin color. That story is unfortunately in the DNA of our country. He literally took himself from the mud of Mississippi to the sky and became first Black naval aviator. That, in and of itself, is a high level of difficulty," said Majors honoring the man he portrayed in the film.
Also starring in the movie is Glen Powell as Hudner, with Christina Jackson, Joe Jonas, Nick Hargrove, Spencer Neville, Thomas Sadoski, and Daren Kagasoff in supporting roles.
The movie was written by Jake Crane and Jonathan Stewart and directed by J. D. Dillard. Dillard spoke about his time filming in the area.
"It's going to sound like I'm lying, but Savannah is the best place I've ever shot. It's incredibly warm by way of the people that are here. It's so great to have such a great art school so close to your production," said Dillard who was happy to be back in Savannah to share the film at the festival.
Dillard's assistant went to SCAD. There were a variety of locals working on this film in above the line and below the line positions. In addition to SCAD students and grads, there were also students and alums from the Savannah Film Academy at Savannah Technical College that worked on this film as well.
"Devotion" was released on November 23 and is out in theaters now.
You might have missed "Knives Out: Glass Onion" since it was on in theaters one week November 23 to 29. This is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 film "Knives Out," with Daniel Craig reprising his role as master detective Benoit Blanc as he takes on a new case.
This one again brings together a stellar cast including actress and singer Janelle Monáe. She got to speak with some SCAD students while attending the festival.
"These are going to be game changers and shape shifters, and they're going to do that through storytelling, through being right here. I remember also being at performing art school and wanting to have somebody like myself come in and talk to me and give me some gems and tell me it's going to be okay," said Monáe.
Monáe credits her mother with encouraging her and paving the way for her to do the things she's done in life. Monae's mom was at the festival with her cheering her on and encouraging the crowd to see the new 'Knives Out' movie.
The ensemble cast includes Monáe, Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. The movie will be out on Netflix on December 23.
Serving up madness on a platter is "The Menu." This black comedy/horror film directed by Mark Mylod was filmed in Savannah.
Cast member Aimee Carrero was at the film festival and she talked about the experience of working on this project.
"It was a good script, which is hard to find. I've always wanted to work with Fox Searchlight, it was kind of a dream come true to do because I feel like they made the best movies I like to watch. I also got to work with John Leguizamo one-on-one. and that was dream come true," Carrero.
Carrero, who has worked on several projects in Atlanta, was thrilled to work on a project in Savannah and enjoyed getting to know the city and working with local crew.
"The crews were fabulous because they've had so much experience. Georgia is like the new Hollywood, so we just had a ball," she said.
The film features an ensemble cast that includes Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Reed Birney, Judith Light, and John Leguizamo. "The Menu" is in theaters now.
"Wednesday" is now out on Netflix. This coming-of-age supernatural comedy/horror television series is based upon the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, it stars Jenna Ortega as the title character.
While at the festival for the screening of the movie "X" Ortega also talked about the popular record-breaking show on the streaming network.
"I do feel freedom in the fact that I am starting with kind of a clean plate with a new generation. It's interesting kind of making her my own and adding my own little choice while also staying true to what everyone knows and loves about Wednesday already," said Ortega.
The show also features Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci (who played the character in the 1990's films) appearing in supporting roles.
"It was a really wonderful project for me to be on and I worked with some really talented, iconic people and for that it was very good," said Ortega.
"A Savannah Haunting," a local-lensed feature film based on a true story, debuted at the Royal Cinemas IMAX on Oct. 28 in Pooler.
"So many local Savannah individuals and companies and local establishments came together and gave us a huge amount of support that allowed us to make the movie… For us, the film feels like a love letter to Savannah," said writer and director William Mark McCullough in a previous interview with Connect Savannah.
A Savannah Haunting is in select theaters and available to stream on iTunes.
"Panhandle" released a great video review of our local Savannah locations, cast, and crew. You can see this video on the Film Savannah website at filmsavannah.org
The Spectrum Original television series, follows the eccentric Bell Prescott (Luke Kirby), an agoraphobic arm-chair detective and a reluctant traffic cop Cammie Lorde (Tiana Okoye) as they investigate a murder in their small Florida town.
Another filmed in Georgia project is the feature by Marvel Studios "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" the highly anticipated sequel to "Black Panther."
"Working on films has changed me because it opened my mind to doing things, I never thought I'd do though I dreamed about it, now I am in the industry doing it," said Patrick Tennerson a graduate of the Georgia Film Academy that worked as a staff walkie production assistant in the AD department on the movie.
The production permeated the Georgia economy with more than $314 million in local economic activity, according to data from Disney and Marvel Studios. The production also created more than 1,800 local jobs for Georgia residents and supported many local businesses.
Governor Brian Kemp announced in August that film and television industry productions spent $4.4 billion in Georgia during the fiscal year 2022 as the industry continues to boom in Georgia as well as the Coastal Empire.
