President Barack Obama's annual addresses to Congress offer a glimpse at a leader whose rhetoric on energy and the environment has changed dramatically over the past four years — from his calls to pass sweeping climate legislation in 2009 to a full-throated embrace of natural gas last year.
The speeches also matched the ebbs and flows in Obama's political fortunes.
Four years ago, as a popular president with Democratic House and Senate majorities, Obama told Congress that his greenhouse gas proposals would "transform our economy, protect our security and save our planet from the ravages of climate change." But in his 2011 State of the Union address following the shellacking of the midterm elections, he didn't use the word "climate" even once.
Now, past his reelection worries, Obama put climate back atop the agenda in last month's inaugural address. Supporters say they're expecting much of the same in Tuesday's State of the Union speech, with more focus on actions the administration is preparing to pursue. …(more).

Climate change and the president – The Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/climate-change-and-the-president/2013/02/09/317db2fa-7239-11e2-a050-b83a7b35c4b5_story.html#
By Editorial Board, Saturday, February 9, 6:21 PM
PRESIDENT OBAMA will deliver his 2013 State of the Union address on Tuesday, and expectations are high that he will devote significant time to climate change. We hope that he adopts a different approach to explaining the need for action than he did in much of his first term.
In past addresses, talking about green jobs didn't work, nor did talking about energy independence. The credible way to justify fighting climate change is to discuss the science, the real reason to cut carbon emissions. There is overwhelming evidence that the planet is warming. The widespread burning of fossil fuels, meanwhile, pumps heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every second. There is still uncertainty about exactly how sensitive the climate system is to a given increase in carbon dioxide concentrations — but not enough uncertainty to justify ignoring the risks of rising temperatures.
Putting a slowly rising, significant price on carbon emissions would encourage people to burn less fossil fuel without micromanaging by Congress or the Energy Department. This approach would enlist market forces to green the energy sector. It would also allow for similar policies in other nations to connect with America's, creating a bigger, global market for carbon.
Anything like carbon pricing must get lawmakers' approval, though, which is the first reason Mr. Obama should make reaching out to them on climate policy a priority. True, a coalition of anti-regulation Republicans and coal-state Democrats killed the last major effort to price emissions, a 2010 cap-and-trade bill. But, in the big budget reform politicians have been promising, they will need new revenue from somewhere. A carbon tax would be an ideal source.
Even second- and third-best alternatives would need Congress's say-so. These include establishing a national clean energy standard requiring that a defined and rising amount of electricity come from sources cleaner than coal, the top climate villain. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the Energy Committee's lead Republican and a voice of reason within her party, just released a 121-page plan with other ideas that could serve as a basis for some congressional action, such as paying for energy technology research, reforming subsidies for green power, advancing hydropower and promoting energy efficiency.
The president should also remind Congress that, without ambitious action from lawmakers, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can and will act on its own. The EPA has already established or is in the process of establishing a range of new air pollution rules. These rules will ensure than no new conventional coal plants are built in the United States, and they will force the closure of some particularly awful, ancient coal-fired facilities. More regulations are likely in store in Mr. Obama's second term. The EPA, for example, has not yet set rules regulating the carbon emissions of major, existing sources of greenhouse gases. Using the EPA's top-down approach, though, is not the best way to reduce carbon emissions. Mr. Obama should invite Congress to work with him on a better alternative.

BBC News – Blizzard paralyses north-east US and Atlantic Canada
9 February 2013 Last updated at 14:09 ET
Millions of people across New England have being warned to stay indoors
In pictures: US and Canada snowstorm
A major snowstorm has brought swathes of the north-eastern US and eastern Canada to a standstill, leaving about half a million homes without power.
High winds and blizzard conditions have emptied the centre of Boston and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has banned all non-essential traffic.
Millions of people across New England have been warned to stay indoors. The region's airports are closed.
Many areas are under two feet (60cm) of snow and more snowfalls are expected.
Rajesh Mirchandani BBC News, New York
In Coney Island and Brighton Beach, we found several people shovelling snow from outside their homes. These parts of Brooklyn were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy in October. In some places, piles of debris from that storm are now covered by piles of snow from this one.
We met Louis Plaza cleaning out two properties he looks after. Like many people we spoke to, he was in good spirits and resigned to a day of shovelling.
"There's no way I could have prevented this," he told me. "There's no way I could have prevented Sandy. So you just deal with it, you deal with what life throws you."
Earlier in Manhattan, people and cars were joining the hundreds of snow ploughs and gritters that had been working all night. After Sandy, it seems New York authorities left nothing to chance for this storm. It also helped that the impact was not as bad as had been feared. As Mayor Bloomberg put: "It looks like we dodged a bullet".
Blizzard warnings are in effect for much of the coastal section of the north-eastern US, from Newark, New Jersey to southern Maine. ….(more).

The storm dumped at least 2 feet of snow throughout Connecticut, paralyzing much of the state. The governor ordered all roads closed Saturday until further notice, and even emergency responders were stuck on highways. (Feb. 9)

Tusk Review
Kevin Smith's Tusk, a horror-comedy about a podcaster turned into a walrus, is high on weird ambition, for better and worse.
By David Crow | September 17, 2014 |
Coming to praise or critique Kevin Smith, director of Tusk, is a tricky proposition these days. Undoubtedly one of the most refreshing and impressive indie filmmakers of the 1990s—when he wrote and directed Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma in the span of six years—the filmmaker has had a huge impact on any movie lover who came of age in the last two decades.
Yet, his output in the 21st century has been so unexceptional that even the director soured on the industry and its press (including film reviewers like myself), choosing a state of perpetual semi-retirement as he transitions increasingly to being a geek showman via podcasts, tours, and other fan-outreach programs. But as a storyteller, it's only been for the better.
As with Red State, Tusk showcases a director who hasn't been this playful and confident in his vision for over a decade. It's a twisted distortion of preconceived notions for the filmmaker—a movie that bends genres as much as its protagonist bends bones into walrus appendages. Essentially aiming to be a David Cronenberg-styled realization of "I am the Walrus," Tusk feels like exactly the strange bong hit of weirdness that Smith imagined when he told the joke about a podcaster becoming a walrus on his Internet show, SModcast #259. Clearly not the type of picture that his most pronounced critics have expected from the filmmaker, it succeeds at being bizarrely ambitious in its unwholesomeness. It's thus such a shame that these oddities obscured the far better movie hidden within.
Despite being borne out of Smith riffing with Scott Mosier, his longtime producer, friend, and fellow podcaster, about a funny idea for a horror-comedy, Tusk plays like two separate films. The first is one about a neurotic comedian named Wallace Bryton (Justin Long), who is a lifelong man-child and a recent podcasting success story, and the other is about the old man from the sea who wants to turn Wallace into a walrus. The latter may be the selling point, but it is the former that lingers.
As with Smith's best films (the one-two Clerks punch, Chasing Amy), there is a sense of hyperbolic autobiography to Wallace's podcasting career with best buddy and sidekick Teddy Craft (Hayley Joel Osment, all grown up), and his relationship with long-suffering girlfriend Ally Leon (Genesis Rodriguez). This is not to say that Smith views himself as a simpering narcissist that abuses all of his relationships in order to shame Internet fools like Long's big screen protagonist (who also at times feels like an indictment of Comedy Central's Daniel Tosh). But much as Dante and Holden McNeil in those aforementioned Smith movies dealt with quarter-life and midlife crises while shrouded in poop jokes, Long's Wallace also feels like a comparable artist who has found success as a golden calf for a legion of Internet fans, much at the expense of his creativity and integrity.
There are surely very few poop jokes to be found here, but the central comedic conceit of Tusk (man=walrus) feels far more distracting in its messy inanity than any snowball references.
The story kicks into gear when Wallace goes to Canada by himself, much to the chagrin of Ally and Teddy, to scare up a new Internet celebrity for his podcast. He always travels alone, because it's easier to cheat that way, plus his friends don't allow him to be as mean-spirited in his audio takedowns. However, when he gets to Winnipeg to interview a boy who cut his own leg off while imitating Kill Bill, Wallace is horrified to learn the kid bled out and died. So, he makes do with a strange old man who has left flyers about town in order to rent a room in a spooky old mansion in the middle of Manitoban nowhere.
The eccentric elder gentleman is a marvelously hammy Michael Parks in the role of Howard Howe, who comes off like a latter-day Robert Shaw. He's got memories going back to meeting Ernest Hemingway during Operation Neptune (D-Day), but unfortunately for Wallace, the only event Howard wishes to recollect is the time he was stranded on a godforsaken rock for six months with only a walrus, nicknamed Mr. Tusk, to keep him company. Worse still, he wants to relive that quixotic existence with tusks and blubber by reincarnating his long-lost animal friend out of Wallace's hide.
It will be up to audience members whether they go with the joke from there or not, plus the ensuing dark comedy shenanigans, including a nigh unrecognizable Johnny Depp as Guy Lapointe, a shady French-Canadian detective closing in on Howard Howe.
To be sure, Depp's fleeting screentime is well used with the kind of idiosyncrasy and bit-scenery chewing that made him a fellow indie star once upon a time. The way Depp's faux-French accent singsongs around the mutilations of bodies during his multiple exposition dumps is indeed the comic highlight of the film. Long is meanwhile given the unenviable task of having his body constricted in a human-walrus make-up job, but he still finds sympathy in sequences that play dangerously close to farce.
As a horror narrator, Smith continues to show a growing appreciation for atmosphere and palpable dread as Wallace travels from Winnipeg to the heart of blubbery darkness. Punctuating these scenes of crescendoing strangeness are the far superior non-sequential flashbacks to Wallace's past, which whispers with promise of being Smith's first personal story in eight years. Sadly, they are ultimately drowned out by the bombast of the premise that takes full control around the time Wallace wakes up without any legs.
Character veteran Parks has a ball during these sequences as the mad scientist who seeks to answer the question that has apparently plagued man since the dawn of time: is there a difference between man and walrus? But while Parks was allowed to be chillingly grotesque as his Fred Phelps-esque Westboro Baptist Church villain from Red State, his eared-seal fanaticism here just grows more bombastic with every scene in the misguided hope that the same joke will become as funny as it is deafening.
Tusk's origin as a podcast giggle overhangs the entire film, and the effect is similar to when most Saturday Night Live sketches are turned into feature length movies. It's high on ambition at being a surrealist body horror experience, but ultimately strains to hold its 102-minute running time, stumbling as its laughs land somewhere closer to the exploitative heaving of The Human Centipede. Not at a loss for creativity or originality, Tusk is one of Smith's most personal films, but the one-trick walrus punch-line leaves the whole voyage seasick.

Senior defensive back Ryder Lucas was arrested Sunday (July 29) for drunk driving on College Avenue.
Fayetteville Police arrested Lucas, 22, in connection with driving while intoxicated and careless driving, both misdemeanors.
Police pulled Lucas over about 2:33 a.m. on College Avenue after they saw his black SUV cross the center line and nearly hit the Fayetteville flyover, according to an arrest report.
Police said Lucas, who had a flushed face, bloodshot and watery eyes and a strong odor of alcohol, admitted to drinking whiskey and retrieved a bottle from the backseat.
Police said Lucas failed several field sobriety tests and was later found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.09 percent. The legal limit in Arkansas is 0.08.
Lucas is free on a $935 bond. He has hearing set for Sept. 17 in Fayetteville District Court.
It's unclear if Lucas will face any team disciplinary action. A University of Arkansas spokesman didn't immediate respond Tuesday (July 31) to requests for comment.
Ryder, a native of The Woodlands, Texas, played in all 12 games in 2017. He played a key role on kick coverage teams and led special teams with 12 tackles, according to the school's athletics department.
Lucas has also made the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll three times.

Rosanna Davison Nutrition - Update
Sep 02, 2015 ~ Written by William Campbell
Before I recorded Episode 12 of the podcast, I sent a draft script of the section concerning Rosanna Davison to her PR representative, as a courtesy, and to allow her to comment. Her representative didn't reply before my deadline, but later sent me an email, saying:
Rosanna Davison, as pictured on her website
You need to take a look at this line:
"The meaning of the words you used were clear, you said that gluten was responsible for arthritis, autism and schizophrenia"
Please take a closer look at the Irish Independent and you will see that Rosanna did not say this. The line in the article that caused the controversy was not a direct quote from Rosanna.
This is something which has gone to great lengths to explain at this stage if you read her statement more closely
She also makes clear that she would never advise anyone to use diet alone to treat any ailments.
I noted that, while the line in the article concerned is not a direct quote - it's not inside quotation marks - it purports to be the reported speech of Rosanna Davison, and that she wrote an article for the Independent under her own name some days later on the topic, and didn't dispute that.
Even the email didn't dispute that she had said it; it talks about how she would advise people to treat ailments, not the cause of those ailments. Neither Davison nor her representative show any awareness that she has no business advising anyone how to treat any ailment, since she has no medical qualifications.
I sent the following questions to Davison's representative:
Is it Rosanna's position that [gluten causes autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and arthritis] is a position falsely attributed to her?
Given the controversy it has caused, has Rosanna had any legal correspondence regarding correcting this falsely attributed position?
Has Rosanna made a complaint to the press council of Ireland regarding the matter?
Why did Rosanna, in the article written by her on the subject in the Independent on 27 August, make no effort to distance herself from the position attributed to her?
You say "She also makes clear that she would never advise anyone to use diet alone to treat any ailments" In what way is she qualified to offer advice to anyone on the treatment of any ailments?
Does Rosanna accept that the statement is entirely incorrect, and that there is no recognised scientific research that "shows gluten to be the bad guy responsible for a huge range of medical conditions from autism spectrum disorders to schizophrenia to arthritis"?
Does Rosanna accept that the College of Naturopathic Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine do not offer any recognised qualifications?
Does Rosanna [accept] that, on her website, including a large photograph of herself in a scholarly gown, referring to two institutions where she has studied which contain the word Medicine in their title, and her discussion of what advice she would give to people on the treatment of ailments would be likely to give naïve people the impression that she has a medical qualification when she does not?
I'm still waiting for an answer.

FOLLOWING up on the UK government´s suggestions last week that there are plans to register all EU citizens living in the UK the Home Office have released comprehensive details describing how this system is likely to work.
All of the three million EU nationals currently residing in the UK will need to register their interest to remain there after the UK leaves the EU in March 2019. EU citizens will be registering for a "settled status" which will grant them the "indefinite leave to remain" status which is the same as those from non-EU nations who have lived in the UK for longer than 5 years.
It remains unclear whether EU citizens will be issued with an identity card or if their identity will simply remain on a Home Office database.
The many EU citizens who have already applied for permanent residency following the Brexit vote will need to do this again. However the plans describe a streamlined online application which makes registration much simpler.

If current EU citizens can continue to live in the UK but future ones can't, what happens when the current ones die? Well, If they own a house and have adult children living in their country of origin, they'll find they have a house they can't live in! As new immigrants they would be refused entry. If Spain reciprocates your families will not be able to move into your Spanish home! They'll be refused entry! Is that what pro-Brexit expats want?

This project is a bank in Canyon TX. During the project bidding phase it was determined that costs were much higher than anticipated. CIB worked closely with the structural engineer and architect to devise cost savings.Savings totaled over $300,000.


I now have all of the blocks pieced, cut, and laid out. I have even started to piece the top! And then I ran out of the Kona white for the background.
Aren't they pretty? They were super easy to piece. I'm so pleased with how they turned out.
This is the layout I decided on. I want their to be a good amount of negative space. You can see the blocks that are cut wonky and the ones that aren't.
And that's the progress on the top. I modified the layout a bit just to make it easier on myself. I still like it though. At this rate, I should have no trouble hitting the February deadline…although the quilting might be a problem. I would love to have some heavy quilting in the negative space, but I'm not sure if I can do that myself.

"My work refers to analogies between earth, the sea, space, and the human body; and to thoughts that human actions within our environment mirror the behaviour of people toward one another.
During the last few years many of my paintings, sound and video installations represent the arena of natural oil/gas emissions in the deep sea as positive life sources from beneath the earth's crust. The emissions frequently contain bacteria that nourish the food chain at the interface of earth and sea water – eventual habitat for lobsters.
In my most recent series I focus on the fertility of the female lobster; fierce appearing inhabitant of the benthic environment where earth meets salt water at the bottom of the ocean. She carries her offspring as exposed eggs (numbering up to 2-3 thousand) beneath her tail, for 11-14 months!
Painting lobster eggs requires a patient watercolour technique accompanied by the use of rabbit skin glue, not characteristic of my work. Given that it's illegal to take egg bearing (berried) female lobsters to shore, I've accompanied lobster fishermen to sea – an incompatible studio for lobster egg painting, but a source of inspiration from actual experience," Susan Feindel.
This lobster eggs series is accompanied by a series of new oil paintings that provide the visual context of her work now, as in the past, in Port Medway, Nova Scotia.
Susan Feindel is a Nova Scotia-born artist who lives in Port Medway, NS. She graduated from Mount Allison University with a BFA and related studies in music. Her career spans 40 years with her practice encompassing diverse media including painting, drawing, video, bookworks, murals in both fresco and mosaic tile, and mixed media installations. She has exhibited her work in public galleries in Canada and abroad. Feindel's solo exhibition see below at the Ottawa Art Gallery (2011) and the Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery (2009), resulted in her being a finalist for the 2011 Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Master works Arts Award. She has been the recipient of numerous research and creation grants including the Art and Science Fellowship from the National Gallery of Canada in 1999-2000. Her work can be found in many public and private collections.

Art I Want You: Gallery Representation
Published Jul 26 2017 by
Art collectors wouldn't exist if it weren't for the artists who create the work. Collectors and galleries need artists just as artists need gallery representation. If an artist is represented by a gallery it gives collectors assurance that the work they are buying is being vouched for by a professional. BUT a commonly asked question…

The political area in Korea has for some time been 'without an opposition political leader.' More accurately, the conservative political camp in Korea is literally 'dead' as the conservatives have lost their face following the detention of the publicly discredited former President Madam Park Geun-hye and, although with a measure of difference, former President Lee Myung-bak who is also under detention for alleged involvement in a number of charges. This was reported by a number of Korean-language newspapers today.
Against this backdrop, the main opposition conservative Liberty Korea Party (LKP) has recently tapped a new leader, Kim Byung-joon, who worked for progressive former President Roh Moo-hyun but who is known to retain a good measure of conservative ideas.
Yesterday, Kim made scathing criticisms against President Moon Jae-in and his government.
On the North Korea policy of the Moon government, Kim stated: "The late former President Roh Moo-hyun (for whom Kim worked as an economics specialist) did not hold a view that dialog is the only means for peace with North Korea but went ahead and carried out a plan to build a Republic of Korea Navy based on Jeju Island even in defiance against opposition coming from within the camp of his own followers and supporters.


What we present here are five different non-smoking methods of using gradually reducing amounts of nicotine to help you quit both smoking and nicotine.
Nicotine gum is nicotine gum - each brand of gum releases nicotine for buccal absorption using the same sort of release mechanism. The differences between nicotine gums are largely personal choice - brand choice, flavor, texture, coating, cost-effectiveness etc.
This section lists the information about nicotine gum that you need to know to use it effectively to quit smoking; we also recommend your carefully read the Product Information that each brand of gum provides.
Smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day ? We recommend 4mg gum.
Nicotine gums are not like ordinary chewing gums: a chew, park, chew cycle should be used ie chew until a strong taste or slight tingling sensation is felt (approximately a minute), then cease chewing and par" the gum between cheek and mouth gum (the nicotine is released slowly from the gum resin and absorbed directly from the lining of the mouth). When the tingling has almost gone, start to chew again.
Each gum of gum can be chewed for about 30 minutes.
You do not need to chew the same number of gum pieces as the number of cigarettes you used to smoke. You can use the gum on a regular basis throughout the day (say, every hour or so) or you can use the gum when you feel you need to. If you use the gum regularly throughout the day do not use more than 24 pieces per day.
How Do I Quit Smoking by using nicotine gums?
From Day One, do not smoke. We suggest using the gum for at least 3 months. After this, gradually reduce the number of pieces you use each day and when you are using only 1 or 2 pieces a day, you can stop (although you may wish to have some gum on hand in case you face any particularly tempting situation).
Please note that some active support and encouragement can assist you in your goal. So a support programme and/or help from your pharmacist, doctor or a trained counsellor will increase your chances of quitting smoking.
Do Nicotine Gums have any side effects?
Minor side effects may be present in the first few days. These include: A bitter taste. Hiccups. Sore throat. Headache. Feeling sick or dizzy. If you tend to get indigestion: mild indigestion or heartburn. None of the above side effects are serious and if you get them, try reading the chewing instructions again to check you are not chewing the gum too fast or too often. Other side effects are uncommon, but may include palpitations, an irregular heartbeat, a rash or itching or swelling of the tongue or mouth, If any of these occur stop using the gum and tell your doctor or pharmacist.
What are the differences between the nicotine gum brands?
The "old" Nicorette is an uncoated nicotine gum - available in Classic and Mint flavors. Nicotrol gum is identical to this style of Nicorette in all regard except packaging, brand name and price. So if you prefer the uncoated style of gum, consider Nicotrol.
Nicorette is also available in the newer coated gum style - avaialble in FreshMint and FreshFruit flavors. Habitrol is from a different manufacturer and, like the newer Nicorette, is a coated gum available in Mint and Fruit flavors. Habitrol remains our most popular gum product.
These three nicotine gums are all sugar free.

WordsThaw Panels: Saturday, March 17
Being Liminal
(10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)
Yvonne Blomer
Robin Stevenson, Madeline Sonik, and Michael Kenyon
Writing is an act of communicating with the self, an act of opening, of witnessing, of being liminal—between spaces and places. This panel will explore how important it is for a writer to be vulnerable in order to write toward honesty and to explore truths both personal and of the world. When and how does the sensitive person turn to writing as a safe place? How can one explore personal experience with a view to eventually sharing that experience? What should readers expect when invited to enter this world of vulnerability and liminality?
Writing Victoria
(1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.)
Micaela Maftei
Heather Dean, Jill Margo, Carl Cavanagh
For writers, the physical environment in which they work often feeds into their texts, and perhaps into their sense of what it means to write and belong to a community. This panel will look at the act(s) of writing in Victoria – its tradition and history, how and where it's done now, and how it is celebrated and supported. We'll discuss individuals and groups around the city working to influence and shape its writing culture, consider how this changes over time, and how a writing culture can be preserved.
Shaped by Islands
Carol Matthews
Judy LeBlanc, Joanna Streetly, Marilyn Bowering
For many writers, islands have been a focus—either as the place where they live and work or as the theme or subject of their writing. "Shaped by Islands" will explore what it is about islands that draws writers and how it influences their writing. Are islands a psychological escape as much as a physical one? Does an island offer entry into a different mindset, a fantasy world? How do you know you are on an island when you cannot "see" that you are? Three writers whose work involves islands will discuss these and other questions and talk about their particular experiences as "island writers."
Master Class with Carla Funk: March 18
Registration is CLOSED for this year's WordsThaw Master Class led by Carla Funk. Sorry, Master Class tickets are now SOLD OUT. Please email malahat@uvic.ca if you'd like to be put on a wait list.
When the Poem Sings a Story
Borrowing from the traditions of oral storytelling, dramatic monologue, fables, folklore, blank verse, parables, sonnets, lunch-room gossip—and more!—this master class will outfit the poet with tools and techniques to turn the story into a poem and make that poem sing. Through a sequence of readings that stretch from Shakespeare and Browning to contemporary narrative poetry, guided literary exercises, and lessons on craft, each writer will work with story as fuel for three new poems, and will put into practice a variety of techniques for authenticating the speaker's voice and character.
Sorry, the Master Class is SOLD OUT! Thank you for your support and interest. Please email malahat@uvic.ca if you'd like to be put on a wait list.

Nasty Rumours live on stage only once this summer!!!
Everybody, treat yourself with a fine evening in the midst of Bern while attending the famous RockOut festival from ISC Club Bern. It's happening on Saturday, 9th September 2017. Location: Ringgenpärkli. Be there or be square!
Folx, here's a fine lil' May week-end we look forward to! Our recommendation: take part in all three cities!
2016 has treated us well, we released our two singles All Alone and Because Of You (the latter one is a split with our dear Aussie friends Numbskulls) and played shows all around the world. So let's see if we can top that in 2017, ey?
Finally the vinyl version of our split single with Aussie punkers Numbskulls is available thru our bandcamp site – or get it in Bern at Rockaway Beach.
Our buddies from the best band in this universe called Numbskulls – outta Adelaide / Australia – invited us to play some shows in their corner of the world. This order we obeyed in the blink of an eye, got us some plane tickets and so we'll hit the other hemisphere in October!!! Beeing Down Under, we thought we might as well hop over the big pond and so we got us some shows in South Africa, too.
…and here's the soundtrack to the tour! A beautiful vinyl single, which Numbskulls and Nasty Rumours split in half, so that each band had the chance to deliver two madly great songs.
So far you can only get the .mp3s, vinyl will be available once we're back home from the tour!
Check out the trailer for the "No Borders, No Nations" Festival in Bern / Switzerland.
