Portrayal of Guilt, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Portrayal of Guilt w/Street Sects, EUTH and Cau5er
Why: Portrayal of Guilt is a post-hardcore band from Austin that weaves together elements of grindcore and noise soundscaping to create an angular kind of screamo bristling with menace. Its rhythms are more widely dynamic than one might expect from the mix of sounds and influences with chords allowed to hang to establish a mood that crawls to catharsis. Street Sects, also from Austin, is an industrial noise outfit whose confrontational performances may feel hidden in the banks of fog in its performance zone but the band manages to turn that haze into a realm where the tension it builds to unpredictable moments of eruption. Cau5er is a Denver project that comes partly out of hardcore but is firmly in the worlds of noise and power electronics with an impassioned delivery that belies notions of noise artists all being knob twiddlers. Schedule for the evening below provided as this show is being conducted in cooperation with the show at Mutiny across the street from the Hi-Dive.
Euth 8:30
Cau5er 9:15
Street Sects 10pm
Portrayal of Guilt 11pm
What: Red Death (DC), Enforced (RVA), Chair of Torture and Wide Man
Why: Washington DC's Red Death is a modern crossover band whose synthesis of thrash and hardcore is reminiscent of a more aggro version of what Megadeth was doing earlier in its career. If that sounds appealing, Enforced from Richmond, Virginia and Chair of Torture from Denver are mining similar territory with the latter with more than a leg in grindcore. See schedule for the evening below as it is being done in conjunction with the show mentioned above at the Hi-Dive.
7:30-7:50 Chair of Torture
8:05-8:25 Wide Man
8:40-9:10 Red Death
9:25-9:55 Enforced

$addy circa 2018, photo by Tom Murphy
What: 666/69/420: Dance Night featuring $addy, Trisicloplox, Kid Mask, Platonic Belt, Blank Human
When: Friday, 1.24, 8 p.m.
Why: This is a showcase for some of the most interesting artists in the Denver noise world who incorporate aspects of dance music and glitch into the mix.
What: Casey James Prestwood w/High Plains Honky, Coop & The Chicken Pluckers
Why: A legitimately good country show with bands that write meaningful music instead of wallowing in country music tropes.
What: Ron Pope w/Caroline Spence
What: Hate Minor, The Gurkhas and Plastic Rakes
When: Friday, 1.24, 7:30 p.m.
What: R A R E B Y R D $ w/Calico Club and Ginger Perry
What: Fatal Mistake IV Benefit: The Consequence, Tuck Knee, Videodrome, F.O.A.M., Direct Threat
What: Deer Creek, Barstool Messiah and Never Kenezzard
Where: Englewood Tavern
What: Necromantic (goth/darkwave DJ night)
Saturday | January 25
Old Sport circa 2018, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Use the Sun (Reunion), Old Sport and American Grandma
Why: Denver's Use the Sun is reuniting for one night to bring forth its joyous mixture of melodic punk and surf rock. Also included is a lately relatively rare show from Old Sport who have been part of that resurgence of bands that were influenced by the better, mathier end of emo and post-hardcore. American Grandma is a slowcore band whose elegant and introspective guitar compositions blur the line between folk, ambient and dream pop.
What: Neil Haverstick
Where: Swallow Hill
Why: Neil Haverstick is Denver's biggest proponent of microtonal guitar so much so that he wrote a book about it. His songs, though, come from an emotional place and his roots in blues and folk inform even though his style brings in a great deal of avant-garde thinking into the mix and makes it accessible.
What: Rhinoceropolis Benefit: Cian, Jason Sidney Sanford, Prison Glue, Born Dumb, Lanx Borealis, Birth, Swamps
What: Hail Satan, Brew Ha!Ha! And Asalt
Sunday | January 26
Lazarus Horse circa 2017, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Shibui Denver #9: The Vanilla Milkshakes, Lazarus Horse and Pythian Whispers
Where: Mutiny Information Cafe
Why: This latest edition of Shibui Denver will feature outsider pop punk band The Vanilla Milkshakes, the earnest, existential, angular indie rock of Lazarus Horse and Pythian Whispers' psychedelic ambient soundscapes with visuals by Mark Mosher, electro-ambient artist and founder of Rocky Mountain Synth Meetup.
Tuesday | January 28
What: GosT w/Church Fire and Elay Arson
When: Tuesday, 1.28, 7 p.m.
Why: GosT blurs the line between metal and synthwave and definitely for fans of Perturbator. Church Fire blurs that line a little too but more in the tribal, pagan vein without hitting you over the head with the aesthetic and its industrial/dance pop hybrid is one of the most compelling things going on in Denver or anywhere.
What: Poppy w/VOWWS
Why: Poppy's genre-mashup is not for everyone. But the theatrical presentation of her mix and remix of extreme metal, kawaii pop and surreal psychedelic pop turns on a dime like something John Zorn might have thought of had Naked City come up in the 90s and 2000s and not in the realm of avant-garde jazz and grindcore. Currently touring in support of her new album I Disagree. VOWWS has managed to shed a lot of the previous associations in the last year with retro rockist tendencies. Its sound is more like a hard edged darkwave to post-punk what a band like True Widow is to metal and shoegaze.
What: Thrice w/mewithoutYou, Drug Church and Holy Fawn
When: Tuesday, 1.28, 5:30 p.m.

Built To Spill at Treefort Music Fest 2018, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Built to Spill – Keep It Like a Secret tour w/Orua and Dirt Russell
Where: Mishawaka Amphitheater, Bellevue, CO
Why: Built To Spill bridged the gap between free improvisational rock, psychedelia and post-punk at a time in the 90s when so much of that was, barring Neil Young, was considered quaint unless you were a fan of wack, mid-90s alternative rock. Built to Spill was very different from some of that more mundane music because when it had album titles like Ultimate Alternative Wavers and songs called "Randy Described Eternity" and "I Would Hurt a Fly" the language of an underground, alternative culture with irreverent humor and an unabashed embrace of the weird and unconventional and out of step with mainstream normality was mincing no words but also not trying to alienate any potential comers. This year the group is touring for the twentieth anniversary of its monumental fourth album Keep It Like a Secret.
What: The Psychedelic Furs w/James and Dear Boy
Why: The Psychedelic Furs are apparently on the verge of giving us their first new album in nearly thirty years sometime in the next year or two. While the group did take a hiatus in the 90s its iconic 80s albums aged well because while the band had hits it never really made concessions to trends and Richard Butler's scrappy yet soulful voice and thought-provoking lyrics and the band's brooding melodies and expansively energetic live show reconciled the thoughts and emotions everyone has into memorable songs. Since the Furs reconvened in 2000 it may have been skating on its back catalog but its shows felt like they were channeling from a time when they first wrote the music and they didn't waste our time by trotting out material unworthy of its earlier music. The career of Mancunian rock band James was almost in direct parallel with The Psychedelic Furs with its own history of high emotive and idiosyncratic rock songwriting that evolved considerably across time and recent performances displaying the verve and power of its early days as well.
Anne Waldman circa 2012, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Anne Waldman (w/Adam Baumeister and Roger Green), Wymond Miles, Jeff Suthers and Max & Toni
When: Friday, 07.26, 8-10:30 p.m.
Where: Pon Pon
Why: Anne Waldman is one of the surviving leading lights of the Beat Generation who is also currently involved with running the Naropa Institute (also Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics) of which she was a founder in 1974. Her poetry has a force and consciousness resonant with the rhythms of music and on this evening she will be joined by Meep Records head Adam Baumeister and experimental guitar composer Roger Green formerly of Idle Mind and The Czars. Also on the bill are Wymond Miles of The Fresh & Onlys in San Francisco and prior to that various Denver bands including Pinkku, and Jeff Suthers, the iconic guitarist of Pale Sun, Bright Channel, Volplane, Moonspeed, Pteranodon and other projects.
What: MDC/Verbal Abuse and Round Eye
Where: Streets Denver
Why: When you call your band Millions of Dead Cops in 1979 you're already courting trouble. But MDC has also been taking it on the nose and writing hardcore classics with a righteously political edge from the beginning having penned songs about animal rights, LBGTQ issues, racial issues and invective against capitalism with humor and conviction. Lead singer Dave Dictor is proudly a weirdo who is confrontational with his anti-establishment stance in a creative and engaging and often humorous fashion.
What: Amon Tobin presents Two Fingers DJ Set w/Tsuruda, Keota, Seied and GTillDawn
Where: Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom
Why: Amon Tobin is a versatile composer whose electronic music runs the gamut of dance, jazz and the avant-garde. Tonight he is performing a DJ set so it's hard to say exactly what he'll throw into the mix but given his proclivity for imaginative production it won't be entirely predictable yet a display of great taste.
Ankleplants circa 2016, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Black Pistol Fire w/Thunderpussy
Why: Black Pistol Fire is a likable enough bluesy garage rock band. But the reason to go is to see opening act Thunderpussy who may in some ways share Black Pistol Fire's affection for driving, blues-based punk riffs but its deft songwriting is a bit like if The Dead Weather took more than a few cues from T. Rex and the mirrored sides of Zeppelin's hard rocking and contemplative, introspective songwriting. The Seattle-based group's 2018 self-titled debut is more than a cut above the relatively recent spate of bands that are tapping into inspiration from hard rock's 70s heyday by not merely trying to rock but not being willing to push the songwriting beyond the clichés. Thunderpussy is willing to get weird and take you into outer space with its music the way Heart, Cheap Trick and David Bowie were more than able to as well.
What: Anklepants and Electrocado
Why: Anklepants is what happens when a guy working in the special effects industry makes an outfit in which a phallus attached as the nose of an alien is a controller for the music which is very sophisticated and experimental dance music in the vein of more adventurous house or techno with elements borrowed from the full spectrum of modern dance styles. If you want to see something you'll never forget this is the show to go and see because while the visual side of the project is entertaining and unusual enough the music stands on its own with no need for gimmicks—the costume is just a bonus over seeing some guy holding headphones on and waving one hand above his head to hype the crowd.
What: The Appleseed Cast w/Young Jesus and Weathered Statues
Where: Marquis Theater
Why: The Appleseed Cast might be the most well-known band out of the under celebrated Lawrence, Kansas music scene. Its own contribution to the development of 90s emo and beyond has been its exquisite, borderline dream pop that bridged the gap between midwestern emo and post-rock. Its luminous melodies and richly expressive and nuanced vocals have given the band a cross genre appeal. In 2019 The Appleseed Cast released its most recent album The Fleeting Light of Impermanence.
Frank Iero, photo by Mitchel Wojcik
What: Frank Iero and the Future Violents w/Geoff Rickly
Why: Frank Iero is probably known to most as the guitarist in My Chemical Romance. But seven years hence from that group's dissolution Iero and his band the Future Violents released their album Barriers produced by Steve Albini. Iero sounds like he dug deep to reinvent himself a little for this new music as it feels raw and heartfelt and even confessional in a way that wasn't as obvious as his work with MCR. When the songs aren't brimming with effusive energy there is an introspective mood with music that demonstrate Iero's keen ear for crafting rock songs with emotional and sonic nuance.
Bad Cop / Bad Cop, photo courtesy Fat Wreck Chords
What: Bad Cop / Bad Cop w/Dog Party and Pity Party
Why: Los Angeles-based punk band Band Cop/Bad Cop have a clever name but one that also reflects its politically and socially subversive lyrics. Its massive hooks and pop punk sound is a perfect vehicle for laying out ideas and concepts in a personal and accessible way without coming off preachy. With any luck the band will have a new album soon but its most recent record is 2017's Warriors put on Fat Wreck Chords.
Suzanne Vega, photo from suzannevega.com
What: Suzanne Vega w/Siobhan Wilson
Why: Suzanne Vega is perhaps best known by most people for her 80s singles "Luka" (an unabashed song about child abuse that made the Top 40) and "Left of Center" but her eclectic and varied career has included collaborating with Philip Glass for his weirdo jazz record Songs from Liquid Days and her own impressively broad range as a songwriter with a knack for writing thoughtful, literate songs that have long found a place in college radio and "modern rock" playlists and occupies a similar place in popular music as people like Robyn Hitchcock and Jane Siberry.

Best Shows in Denver 08/9/18 – 08/15/18
Echo Beds album release Sunday, August 12, 2018 at Mutiny Information Café
Thursday | August 9, 2018
Lady Gang, photo courtesy Jen Korte
Who: Lady Gang EP release w/Venus Cruz & Ginger Perry and R A R E B Y R D $
Why: Jen Korte has long been known as a respected and talented songwriter in Denver with her inventive songwriting and vivid lyrics. Known mostly for her Americana solo output and her brilliant collaborations with other artists including stints in Gin Doctors and as a guitarist in experimental rock band Teacup Gorilla. Lady Gang is Korte branching out as a songwriter and, this time around, as a producer. It's a solo project in which Korte uses "a beat machine, a loop pedal, bass guitar, electric guitar and her signature voice." That voice has some grit, character and confidence. The project's new EP, released tonight, is Simple Truths, is truth in advertising with Korte finding direct ways of discussing the world in its incredible disarray. The songs resist simple classification. "How Do You Sound" has elements of bluesy psychedelia and hip-hop as interpreted through someone like MC 900 Foot Jesus. "Preface This" like a long lost Helium track with its electro-lounge and mysterious melodic strains. Sharing the stage for the occasion of this release is a collaborative set with two of Denver's most noteworthy musical figures in jazz/soul/hip-hop phenom Venus Cruz, host of the Jazz Odyssey program on KUVO (one of the most forward thinking radio programs in Denver) and Ginger Perry, one of the Mile High City's great DJs and not just the kind that shows up with a simple playlist. Oh, and R A R E B Y R D $, one of the most interesting hip-hop crews going that's injecting a rich spectrum of quality imagination and emotional content into the genre.
Who: Lupe Fiasco w/Mickey Factz, Bill Blue, Dylan Montayne, Connor Ray
Why: It's for the best that Lupe Fiasco didn't actually quit music as he had intended in 2016 after the controversy over "N.E.R.D." and the infamously supposed anti-Semitic line. In a time when white supremacy has made a curious rise in American political life, it's essential to have voices who are articulate and unabashed critics of such nonsense not to mention Fiasco's sharp critique of the down side of America's actions on the international stage. Initially shelved, 2017's Drogas Light was described as a prequel to the 2011 album Lasers. Perhaps for this tour Lupe Fiasco will unveil a bit of his new direction as creatively moving forward certainly suits him.
Who: Angélique Kidjo's Remain In Light and Femi Kuti & Positive Force
Where: Denver Botanic Gardens (York Street)
Why: Two giants of world music on one bill in a beautiful setting? Both Kidjo and Kuti have deep roots in the development of world music in general but Afrobeat in particular. Obviously Femi Kuti's father Fela was the founder of Afrobeat and Femi played in Fela's band starting in his teen years. Kidjo was "discovered" as a jazz musician in Paris but quickly made a name for herself internationally for her powerful voice and inimitable personal style. A rare opportunity in Denver.
Meet The Giant, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Meet the Giant vinyl release w/Church Fire and The Patient Zeros
Why: Denver-based rock band Meet the Giant releases the vinyl edition of its self-titled debut album tonight with a show at Syntax. The record is a synthesis of moody, deeply atmospheric dream pop, downtempo and fuzzy hard rock. Live the band's songs have a mysterious yet emotionally vibrant quality accented by a broad dynamic range between the trio's players. For the occasion Meet the Giant is joined by two of Denver's best bands. The Patient Zeros emerged from the glut of neo-classic rock, throwback 60s psych-nostalgia and garage rock that seemed to dominate the past several years with its own musical identity and more bluesy like Cream and not a cut-rate Brian Jonestown Massacre. Church Fire is the rare band that bridges electronic dance music, noise, industrial and synth pop and infuses it with a passionate intensity and shamanic stage presence.
Who: Melvins w/WE Are The Asteroid
Why: Melvins have managed to spend its 35 years as a band not just developing its signature sludgy, heavy rock and influencing generations of musicians, it has taken the opportunity to collaborate with other artists in various realms of music. Whether that's with experimental electronic artist Lustmord or Jello Biafra, Melvins seem to have long realized that you have to keep doing stuff you find interesting and following your curiosity and trying different things along the way. 2017's A Walk With Love and Death was a double album with half of it being a noisy soundtrack to a forthcoming film in which the band is involved. Now, Melvins are touring its latest record, 2018's Pinkus Abortion Technician. Reliably great live, do yourself a favor and see Melvins this weekend or if not this weekend sometime if you've not before.
Who: Witch Mountain w/False Cathedrals and Wild Call
Why: Witch Mountain is a doom band from Portland, Oregon currently touring in support of its recently-released self-titled album. The quartet has technically been around since the late 90s but with an early 2000s hiatus giving band members some time to pursue other projects, the group reconvened this past decade with female lead singers who really help coalesce the drifty heavy riffs into mythical anthems. Also on board for the show is Denver doom band False Cathedrals and Wild Call who, while not doom, more psych or shoegaze, have an edge and heaviness to its atmospheric rock that will fit right in.
Parker Millsap, photo by James Coreas
Who: Parker Millsap w/Plain Faraday
Why: Parker Millsap is definitely operating with a tradition of music that includes blues rock artists of his youth like Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan who were doing their level best to tap into the original blues artists of the American South and Midwest. But instead of getting stuck there, it's obvious Millsap took some time to explore traditional folk and country and more modern practitioners of that art who brought their own ghosts and haunted quality and soul to their own music. Like Townes Van Zandt and Jeff Buckley. Millsap's own voice and playing has a an impressive subtlety and spectrum of detail, texture and emotional colorings and has established himself as a real talent in his realm of music. In May 2018 he released his latest record Other Arrangements.
Saturday | August 10, 2018
Itchy-O, photo by Christopher Cleary
Who: Itchy-O Record Release w/Codename: Carter
Why: The Itchy-O's new full-length Mystic Spy | Psykho Dojo, like any recorded work, could never fully capture the exuberant mayhem and visceral impact of a thirty plus member band in elaborate costumes generating an orchestra of rhythms and tones designed to disorient and inspire. Nevertheless, the new album offers listeners a foray into deep sound design that conveys the sheer detail and atmospheric experience of the band in a different context. It's the band's most forward thinking set of songs to date and rendered in a way that is as easy to get lost in on its own terms as the band is live. Each of the band's albums have been impressive works in their own right in terms of recording and execution as a separate experience from the live show but Mystic Spy | Psykho Dojo is much more than an addendum to an Itchy-O concert, it is the realization of the concept of an esoteric spy film soundtrack and sonic training rhythms for tribal psychics to manifest a more vital future. Joining Itchy-O for this occasion is spy rock/surf band extraordinaire Codename: Carter.
Princess Dewclaw, photo by Tom Murphy
What: Washout Fest at Globe Hall: Muscle Beach, Rotten Reputation, Sliver, Moon Pussy, Princess Dewclaw, Sonic Vomit, Morlox, Ultraviolet, Eraserhead Fuckers, Bert Olsen, Juice Up, Lepidoptera, Fever Dreams, Saddy, Freak//When//Scene, Monty O'Blivio, Clutch Plague, Television Generation, King Slug and Wayward Sun
Why: Hands down the most eclectic music festival to happen in Denver in 2018. While many try to encapsulate too many genres with not enough interesting artists, others focus on indie rock and NPR-friendly pop, yet others an uninspired and obvious selection of popular artists and token local artists who aren't going to ruffle any feathers, the organizers of Washout Fest have dug a little deeper. But more than that, not just artists on the Glasss imprint. It includes notable local noise artist Morlox, ambient project Lepidoptera, noisy psych punk group Princess Dewclaw, the industrial noise rock of Moon Pussy, dream psych pop group Fever Dreams, experimental metal band Sonic Vomit, unconventional punk bands Rotten Reputation and Muscle Beach, fuzz rock bands Sliver and Television Generation, noise hip-hop weirdo Eraserhead Fuckers and much more. The more conventionally-minded festivals have their place, especially when they have a local focus like The UMS and Westword Music Showcase, but this is one where radio-friendly wasn't the consideration, just quality and putting one's reputation on the line for declaring the bands as such.
Valley Queen, photo by Pooneh Ghana
Who: Valley Queen w/Tyto Alba
Why: Valley Queen has been honing its live show and songwriting for four years with numerous national tours under its belt to road test its music. Its gift for reinventing a type of rock music that isn't part of a subgenre and isn't necessarily trying to remanifest some older style of music is impressive. The band may have borrowed some from its retro peers and 2000s indie rock but with the release of its debut album, Supergiant (2018), the Los-Angeles based band demonstrated it's perfectly capable of establishing a signature sound of layered melodies and Natalie Carol's commanding vocals. Valley Queen is no stranger to Denver having made the Mile High City a regular stop on its tours and tonight the group will share the stage with one of America's most promising rock bands, the warmly moody and emotionally stirring Tyto Alba from Denver.
Who: Great American House Fire and Sophisticated Boom Boom split release
Where: Bowman's Vinyl and Lounge
Why: It wouldn't be accurate to say that Great American House Fire and Sophisticated Boom Boom are punk but its roots lie in a similar Denver punk and emo scene of the past two decades. GAHF has a bit more soul and Americana in its sound while SBB is more in the vein of power pop. Both celebrate the release of their split seven inch tonight at Bowman's.
Who: GhostPulse (single premiere) w/Plume Varia and Ramakhandra
Why: GhostPulse is premiering its new single "Dreaming In Hypersleep" tonight. The song is a leap forward for a band that was evolving out of its roots in excellent post-rock/instrumental rock band Lucida Tela. The more electronic, soundscape-y sound of its newer material is very welcome in a city where music rooted in mundane reality currently dominates. Plume Varia will compliment the evening well with its own downtempo dream pop and space jazz/Flying Lotus/Gil Scott-Heron-esque band Ramakhandra will keep things in the outer realms of the imagination as well.
Where: The Aggie Theatre
Why: See above for 8.10 on Melvins.
Sunday | August 12, 2018
Cannons circa 2010, photo by Tom Murphy
Who: Goon, faim, Soul Vice
Why: This benefit for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition features some of the more interesting local hardcore acts including Goom and Faim from Denver and Soul Vice from Colorado Springs. Yes, the bands are doing a benefit for a political organization but their own songwriting is non-didactic and address social and interpersonal issues in a poignant and powerful way. For instance, faim's great song "All Talk" takes to task the people in its own world and scene who talk a big game and make a major display of what they want people to think they're about without doing anything concrete in the real world and in their own lives to address those issues in meaningful way.
Who: Cannons w/Echo Beds (album release), Limbwrecker, In The Company of Serpents
Why: Over two years after the release of its debut full-length New Icons of a Vile Faith, Denver's Echo Beds finds its starkly menacing clamor evolving in new directions with its 2018 album Buried Language (officially out on 8.17 through The Flenser). Still in place is the physicality of the music and its inventive and visceral use of percussion and rhythmic sound but added to the mix is a greater sense of the use of production in executing that aesthetic in a way that is an even more full spectrum stimulation of the senses. This show is a bit of a record release and tour kickoff for the band but also a chance to share the stage with like-minded acts. Cannons was an excellent noise rock/post-hardcore act that was most active nearly a decade ago in Denver. In the Company of Serpents is a doom band but its wall of sound is so colossal and caustic it's almost more like death metal or grindcore slowed down to the pace of magma. Limbwrecker could be said to be a powerviolence band with a sense of humor.
Tuesday | August 14, 2018
The Chamanas, photo by Brett Muñoz
Who: The Chamanas w/Picture the Waves, Vic N' The Narwhals, Los Mocochetes and Ghost Tapes
Why: The Chamanas is an indie pop band if indie pop were born out of being influenced by not just the type of music that formed the DNA of C86 and American indie pop bands of the 90s (garage rock, psychedelia, folk, noise etc.) but if the folk underpinnings of that music included traditional Mexican music, the various pop traditions of Latin America and Cuban dance music. It's that mixture that gives the band's music not only a uniquely eclectic flavor but one that has an immediate connection for fans of earlier and more modern indie pop. Manuel Calderon and Hector Carreon met as sound engineers at Sonic Ranch near El Paso, Texas and after working on projects by other artists the two finally issued their own album as The Chamanas in 2015, Once Once. In 2017 the band released its second album, NEA, titled after the nickname of Carreon's brother who had recently passed with songs that reflected that loss. With 2018's NEA II, The Chamanas re-rendered several of NEA's songs with five new tracks. Also on this bill are some of the best bands in the Denver music scene whose own music is a brilliant synthesis of musical traditions in Vic N' The Narwhals, Los Mocochetes and Ghost Tapes.
Who: Wino, Xasthur and Phallic Meditation
Why: Robert "Wino" Weinrich will perform some of his starkly evocative solo material at this show. Better known, perhaps, for his tenure in doom legends Saint Vitus and The Obsessed, his solo acoustic material showcases his raw gift for songwriting. Xasthur's spare black metal with acoustic instrumentation came to Denver in 2017 with a haunting performance capable of deep musical darkness without the usual instrumentation and sound one associates with a similar aesthetic. Denver's Phallic Meditation is more a doomy psychedelic band but with some experimental noisiness that sets it apart from similarly-minded groups.
Who: Lil Ugly Mane, Kahlil Cezanne, Curta, Cadaver Dog, Many Blessings, Videodrome
Why: When Travis Miller released his debut album as Lil Ugly Mane, 2012's Mista Thug Isolation, he had already garnered some praise from members of the Odd Future collective for his absurdist imagery and inventive production that really didn't obey then mainstream hip-hop conventions with his use of noise and black metal soundscapes/samples in some of the beats. So it's fitting that on this bill are experimental/noise hip-hop artist Curta, hardcore bands Cadaver Dog and Videodrome and noise soundscaper Many Blessings. If there's a show demonstrating how all those worlds and their various aesthetics aren't so far apart this whole year so far, this is it.
Wednesday | August 8, 2018
Aseethe, photo by Karlee Barr
Who: Yakuza, Aseethe, Oryx, Terminator 2
Why: Aseethe's 2017 album Hopes of Failure is a great example of how one can create an immersive experience with heavy music if you're willing to go beyond how that music has often been conceived in an earlier era. Not just doom or a subgenre of that subgenre, Aseethe's music is now more like sound design in the form of songs to render an experience through sound and, live, through the visceral dynamics of how that sound is executed. It would be imprecise and wannabe inclusive to call it ambient. It's not that. It's not music that can be easily shuffled off into the background if you wish. Aseethe is in good company for this show with Chicago's Yakuza, a band that has long been pushing the boundaries of heavy music and Denver's Oryx and Terminator 2 who both don't just make experimental metal but whose own songs expand what heavy music can be and the forms it can take when the dynamics aren't essentially the same trying to fit into what doom or grind are "supposed" to sound like.
Who: Beach House w/Sound of Ceres
Why: It could be argued that Beach House has been in something of a creative rut since 2012's Bloom, or, less charitably, sine 2008's Devotion. While it's albums have been enjoyable and yielding worthwhile songs, and the live shows have been reliably moving, the songwriting was starting to get a little stale. With 2018's 7, it's like the band reinvented itself. Maybe with the help of producer Sonic Boom, former member of Spacemen 3 and Spectrum, but this set of songs sounds like Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally recognized a need to break their own boundaries as the songs are far more experimental and adventurous than the duo has ever been. The band's previous two albums were nice but Beach House is better than merely nice and has now proven it. Sound of Ceres is now based out of New York but the band is originally from Fort Collins, Colorado and its own dreamlike pop music shares the quality of intimate sound and mood and personal mythology that has made Beach House's music so resonant for anyone with a rich inner life and imagination.
Who: Father John Misty with TV On the Radio
Why: Love him, hate him or find him mundane, at least Father John Misty has some self-awareness of his own creative output. Joshua Tillman, Misty, recently released his new album God's Favorite Customer and ditched the unifying concept approach to writing the album, which Tillman told Consequence of Sound in April 2018 was "pretentious." You have to honor that level of frankness and honesty in an artist. Whatever intentionality went into God's Favorite Customer, the record is a sonically and emotionally rich listen with collaborations with the likes of Haxan Cloak and Weyes Blood. That visionary art rock/downtempo/experimental R&B band TV On the Radio is on the bill too is more than just a bonus.

The Victoria and Alfred (V&A) Waterfront is in the heart of the Cape Town Docks. It has seen an extraordinary development boom over the last 20 years and is now the centre of Cape Town's tourist industry with hundreds of shops and restaurants as well as many entertainment options including the resident seal colony. It is also the starting point for many tours both on water (Robben Island and seal/whale spotting) and on land for trips around the city and Winelands. Whilst it might be a bit commercial for some it is a particularly good location to base yourself if you don't want to hire a car.

As I've been updating my site, one thing came to mind: I have so many backstories on so many of my photos and yet none of them have been shared!
So I thought I'd take the time to do that for some of my favorite images…. If there's an image you're interested in learning more about, let me know which one!
First up, I have Caution: Falling Ice…. And for those of you that have been to CB in the winter – or live here year round – know that this is no joke! The roof above here is quite steep and likes to hold onto the snow and ice – until it doesn't anymore. And when that happens, watch out!
As I saw in my gallery, when I first moved here, this building fascinated me. The color, the textures, the windows and most of all, the old, hand made signs. It transported me back to many hears before when I could imaging the slow, lazy, dirt streets of Crested Butte turning into a muddy mess in the spring. A time when clearing out the snow and making a path must have been infinitely harder. A time when the only option was to hand letter signs and hope no one got crushed under the weight of the snow and ice – and that no cars ended up with long term damage.
Although this building is still the same color and much of the charm is still there, this sign has since been replaced – as have most of the broken windows… It still holds a special place in my heart!


It is the responsibility of the congregations to raise seminarians for future ministry in the life of the church.
For your benefit, review the Certification in LCMC document and the Call Packet.
For more information, questions regarding the seminary process, or to add or update your status on the Seminarian Directory, contact the Ministry Board Liaison for Seminarians.
Internships are wonderful partnership opportunities for seminarians and congregations. Internships should be 1) intentionally designed for a student's educational pastoral experience, 2) supervised or mentored by another Lutheran pastor, 3) documented with records and references to be kept by the student. LCMC does not regulate internships. Some districts may provide help with internships. For those seeking to be certified pastors in our association, LCMC requires a one year, full-time internship or its equivalent. Seminarians are strongly encouraged to have an LCMC mentoring pastor who may or may not belong to the same congregation. Seminarians and Congregations contract with each other. Here are some suggestions to include in such a contract: name of mentoring pastor, specific learning opportunities and goals, length of internship, approximate work hours, compensation. Review the Call Packet for more information. Internship opportunities may be listed on the Open Positions page.
Those seeking endorsement for military chaplaincy should check the "LCMC Staff" page on the our website for the LCMC Military Endorser and contact that individual.


The "rules" of our household diet: About every two to three hours between meals, we eat healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, yogurt, or a smoothie. We avoid any pork and any bottom feeders like catfish and shellfish. We avoid artificial sweeteners and unhealthy toxins such as those in preservatives.
One meal a week, we eat whatever we want. This is usually our "Dinner Out" meal.
If I have any leftovers, I usually serve them for lunch the next day, or we'll save them during the week to graze lunch on the weekends.
Almost all of the breads are homemade – I'll continue to link to my recipes as I post them.
Here's the menu plan for my family for the week of Monday, 9 November 2009. As far as desserts go, I'm going to make a German chocolate cake to post for you how to do a neat turkey cake for Thanksgiving, and I'm going to do a simple batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Love me some egg in a hole! lol. It's my favorite thing to eat for breakfast.
It's like the perfect food. LOL I was a little girl and watched someone on some PBS show make it and started making it for myself for breakfast. I was probably 9 or 10.
Hey Hallee! Great plan this week. Would love to have you join in next week too. Would you be so kind as to link back to Chivetalkin when you link up with your menu plan. That way, all your readers will find their way to even more menu plans. Thanks so much!

I've read more than one review that refers to the movies of French writer-director Agnes Jaoui as "middlebrow," which may be meant as a respectful euphemism for "middling." Like her previous feature, Look at Me (2004), this relationship drama is mature and intelligent, but the character conflicts are so decorously handled that after a while the whole enterprise begins to seem more like a good waiter than a good story. The best plotline involves a politician (Jaoui) who lets an old family friend (Jamel Debbouze) enlist her in a documentary about successful women; to her growing dismay, their interview shoots are invariably disrupted by his fatuous and incompetent filmmaking partner (Jean-Pierre Bacri). In French with subtitles.

Q: Meteor accessing things from route (restivus) Cannot understand why it restrict me accessing Meteor.userId() from route with following error:

Error: Meteor.userId can only be invoked in method calls. Use this.userId in publish functions. at AccountsServer.userId (packages/accounts-base/accounts_server.js:82:13) at Object.Meteor.userId (packages/accounts-base/accounts_common.js:223:19) at Object.get [as action] (server/main.js:15:28) at Route.share.Route.Route._callEndpoint (packages/nimble_restivus/lib/route.coffee:147:25) at packages/nimble_restivus/lib/route.coffee:59:33 at packages/simple_json-routes.js:98:9

It looks like i forget about publishing something.. but :

** You've set up some data subscriptions with Meteor.publish(), but
** you still have autopublish turned on. Because autopublish is still
** on, your Meteor.publish() calls won't have much effect. All data
** will still be sent to all clients.

Very strange, how do you resolve this issue ? I'm new with meteor, but i don't have (google too) any idea how resolve this issue.
Code server/main.js
   import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor'

Meteor.startup(() => {

      var Api = new Restivus({
        apiPath: 'api/',
        useDefaultAuth: true,
        prettyJson: true
      });

      Api.addRoute('test', {
        get: function () {
            console.log(this.userId())
            return {}
          }
      });
    });

A: this is not the Meteor context when you're inside Restivus. So you need to make it explicit:
Meteor.startup(() => {

      var self = this;  //<--- here explicitly declare this

      var Api = new Restivus({
        apiPath: 'api/',
        useDefaultAuth: true,
        prettyJson: true
      });

      Api.addRoute('test', {
        get: function () {
            console.log(self.userId())  //<-- use it like this
            return {}
          }
      });
    });

A: It were difficult day trying solve unsolvable things. I don't know what to think about it, maybe it is my fault trying work with meteor like with another tool. As Pierre have said :

You can't authenticate a user if the client is not talking over DDP which is really bad when you want to provide API endpoints to your customers.

and, looks like he is right. I'm just trying to work with this tool in wrong way. But i'd say, meteor have to place quote from Pierre to the main page inside of h1 tag at center of page, i'm sure here is a lot of people trying to make unsupported things work with non appropriate tools.
Yeah, it even looks funny.... today )

Q: Internet Explorer triggers jQuery function numerous times and on wrong times as well I got some code which centers a div in a middle of the webpage. The code works great on chrome, but for some reason, on IE(I think it's 9 or 10) it works for the first time, and then it doesn't.
To demonstrate the issue, here are some photos: (Ignore the signs you don't understand, thats my language)
Chrome:

IE first time I click on an object to open up:

IE second time or more, when I click on an object to open up:

This is the code I'm using to center the div:
    jQuery.fn.center = function ()
{
    this.css("position","fixed");
    this.css("top", ($(window).height() / 2) - (this.outerHeight() / 2));
    this.css("left", ($(window).width() / 2) - (this.outerWidth() / 2));
    return this;
}

The code that uses the center() function:
$('#products,#search-result').on("click",'.product-item-info',function() {
    var pid = $(this).find('input').val();
    $.get('product_info.php',{pid:pid},function(data){
        $('#product-lb').html(data).append('X');
        $('.x').click(function() {
            $('#dimmer').click();
        });

        $('#dimmer').css({width:$('html').width(),height:$('html').height()});
        $('#product-lb').center();
        $('#product-lb').show(800);
        $('#dimmer').show();
        $(window).resize(function() {
            $('#product-lb').center();
        });
    });
});

explanations:

*

*#products is the div that contains all of the colorized divs in
blue and green as you can see in the picture

*.product-item-info is the class of the rectangle that can be found
in each product DIV.

*#dimmer is the black background

*#product-lb is the div that has to be centered and shown on the
page
After testing lot of potentail things, I've come up with a clue. When I try to console the heights properties like this:
    jQuery.fn.center = function ()
{
    console.log($(window).height());
    console.log(this.outerHeight());
    this.css("position","fixed");
    this.css("top", ($(window).height() / 2) - (this.outerHeight() / 2));
    this.css("left", ($(window).width() / 2) - (this.outerWidth() / 2));
    return this;
}

I saw diffrences between chrome, explorer first time, and explorer second time:
Chrome - First time open the div console log:

Chrome - After closing div console:

Internet Explorer - First time open the div:

Now comes the first step of the weird part, it seems like when the div is being closed, the function is being triggered, therefore the console looks like that:

Now, this is the most disturbing thing that I've found, on the second attempt to open up a div to view, look at the console:

And after closing this div:

It seems like the event is trigerred whenever I open the div, close the div, and it triggeres up to 4-5 times.
this is my close function:
    $('#dimmer').click(function() {

    $('#dimmer').fadeOut(800);
    $('#product-lb').hide(800);
});

$('.x').click(function() {
            $('#dimmer').click();
        });

I have no clue why it's happening! In chrome everything is just fine, but when it comes to internet explorer, its all messy.
Thanks in advance!

In case you missed my Sunday Outdoor notebook in the newspaper today, I mentioned what to expect for halibut fishing in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.
Fishing should be pretty much the same as last year, which was fairly good for anglers heading out in search of these flatties.
In all marine areas the halibut catch quota will be somewhat larger than last year.

Sighted on Saturday 03. January 2009
Reported on Saturday 07. March 2009
Shape: Formation | Duration: An hour +
Source: NUFORC
Strange FormationTo whom it may concern, My account of the said unidentified flying objects are true and accurate. I am a transportation specialist specializing in the transportation of life sustaining, essential goods. Supplying key cities in the United States. I was returning from the southern portion of Virginia, to my home in New York. I was traveling northbound on interstate 81, through Winchester Va. On the north-side of Winchester, away from the city lights the road gets dark at night. I was listening to the radio when my phone rang, as I picked up the phone I happened to look to the west side of the interstate and when I did I was shocked and awed. There was a formation over the distant mountain. A triangle shaped formation was flying towards me. It immediately caught my attention because of the sensitivity of the cargo that I had on-board. There was a triangle formation with another light perpendicular to the lead light. The size of the formation was enormous. I also noticed before I decided to report this, that others in the area reported the same sighting. The formation then seemed to travel northbound, staying perfectly above the mountain and following the interstate. I first saw the formation in Winchester, Va, and watched it the entire way to north of Carlisle, PA. Between Mechanicsburg, Pa and Harrisburg, Pa is where I lost site of the formation. I saw the exact same formation on U.F.O. hunters on the History channel, a month later. These were clearly not man made craft as the maneuvers they performed were impossible to achieve in modern aircraft. We don't have anything that can stop in mid - air and make a 90 degree turn. Horizontally or laterally. Thus the question remains. What the heck were these things?

I'm Nigel Cook. I spent years struggling to become a successful online entrepreneur. I wanted the freedom of that lifestyle, but wasn't sure how to get started.
I made progress, but often succumbed to procrastination.
I lacked the organizational skills needed to plan proper strategies and stay consistent with my actions.
Negative thinking patterns knocked me off my horse again and again.

Most books like this, in order to meet certain length requirements set by a publisher, are stuffed with a thousand anecdotes, examples, and case-studies.
This book is JUST the good stuff: it's the advice of a thousand self-help and productivity books and distilled down until every word is actionable and applicable. As a result, it's both a fast read and super motivating at the same time. It won't be one of those books you buy and never finish.
"Good Information and Very Easy to Put Into Practice"
"I have read other books on productivity and organization in work, and some of those felt overwhelming. I found this book very easy to read with the layout of the text, small sections of information in paragraphs that I could assimilate easily and put into practice."
Why charge less than $20 bucks for the Master Your Productivity guide?
Well, I'll tell you, since transparency is a part of my ethics.
The barebones truth is that I want it to be affordable to anybody.
But I also want to make the price just enough so that you'll want to use it to get your value back.
If it were only a dollar, it might sell a lot, but never actually get read or listened to.
If you think about it, the price of this e-book or audiobook is about the cost of a few coffees, and that's an incredible bargain for life-changing material like this.
And the more people who buy it, the easier it will be for me to make more helpful content for everybody to better their lives and businesses.
So it's a win-win for us all.
Very much enjoyed putting this guide together and hopes that the tools and techniques will help you in the way that they have helped him throughout his life.

Pietro Floridia, Rossella Mazzaglia
Conrad's The Nigger of the «Narcissus» in the Theater of Cantieri Meticci
Keywords: theatre, racial representation, collective narrative, voicing migration, ghost of slavery.
Based on a postcolonial reading of Joseph Conrad's novel, the performance of The Nigger of the «Narcissus» by the intercultural company Cantieri Meticci debuted in March 2019. It is here recounted in a dialogue conducted between June and September 2020 between the playwright and director of the group, Pietro Floridia, and theatre historian Rossella Mazzaglia. The collective process of creation and the spectatorial modes are described from the first to the last scene, showing the intertwining of history, critical studies, personal biographies and literary narration throughout the process and in the final performance text. Keywords such as stain, mask, orality, migration and slavery are thus explained as to their transposition in an embodied, immersive and relational theatrical form. An unprecedented map of relationships between the themes Conrad developed, the current migratory phenomenon and the ghost of slavery consequently ensues, which also addresses the critical dimension and transformative capacity of theater in today's society. The interview is enriched with references and illustrative images from Floridia's unpublished directorial notebooks, Cercando il Negro [In Search of the Negro]

Boosted by BC Hydro incentives, industrial lighting upgrade cuts Langley company's energy, maintenance costs
Mayne Coatings president Mike Heppell leaned on nearly $20,000 of BC Hydro product incentives to upgrade metal halide lighting at his Langley facility.
'Traditional' metal halide lighting was only seven years old, but was a problem
Keeping up with growth is the top challenge at Mayne Coatings, a producer of high-quality architectural paint finishes that's based in Langley. Ever since the company introduced a wood-grained aluminium building product called Longboard in 2010, sales have doubled each year.
President Mike Heppell says staying on top of demand "is like jumping off a pickup truck which is traveling a little bit faster than I can run."
So facing problems with lighting was a hassle the company didn't need.
Launched in 2005, Mayne Coatings moved into its own brand-new 45,000-square-foot building in 2008. The lighting was traditional high bay metal halide, common in industrial settings. But Heppell says it never worked well. Despite being new, the lights failed at a high rate.
"Those metal halides weren't energy efficient, and they generated a huge amount of heat," he says. "We got to a point where we were tired of replacing ballasts and bulbs and capacitors – each time you have to get a lift in there and work around equipment. It's a big deal."
Better option was metal halides with updated ballasts and occupancy sensors
Heppell says he considered high bay fluorescent, LED, and induction lighting, but wasn't satisfied that they suited the company's needs. Finally, he looked at energy-efficient "pulse-start" metal halides – an updated version of the older system that uses electronic ballasts.
Senior BC Hydro engineer Cristian Suvagau says pulse-start metal halides offer the following advantages:
Longer lamp life of up to 50% over traditional metal halide lamps
Increase in energy efficiency of 10-15%
Increase lumen maintenance by 20-30% (old-style metal halides lose brightness and colour over time)
Much shorter start-up time
Better cold starting capability; ability to start at temperatures as low as -40°C.
Another advantage of the metal halides chosen by Heppell is that each fixture is prewired with an occupancy sensor. When no one is working in an area, the lights drop to 30% output, saving energy while still allowing a view all around the production room.
Suvagau says pulse-start metal halides provide a high output of bright white light, while fluorescents and LEDs require more lamps to be "ganged" together to produce the same light. For Mayne Coatings, this helped reduce the project's cost: the company did its own lighting replacements, rather than hiring a contractor to reconfigure the entire system.
Suvagau says that new technologies such as LEDs offer some advantages over older systems. "But incumbent technologies such as fluorescent, high pressure sodium, and metal halide have been updated too, with some good results that can offer the right match in certain settings."
Incentive of more than 50% gave project a two-year payback period
The lighting project cost $32,526 and qualified for a BC Hydro incentive of $19,500. With energy savings projected at 107,000 kWh a year, Heppell says he expects a two-year payback period.
"I don't expect to see my power bill go down necessarily because we're growing at such a fast rate," he says. "We're running our equipment longer and longer, but at least we're spending our power producing product, and not just generating wasted heat in the top of our building out of inefficient lights."
Heppell credits support from business energy advisor Ida Keung and lighting supplier Chris Meehan of Integral Lighting with helping the project succeed. Meehan bundled the project with another industrial order, allowing savings on the equipment purchase price. Both Keung and Meehan know the incentive application process, keeping the project on track.
"Ida was absolutely excellent; she kept prodding me and encouraging me along," says Heppell. "And Chris understands the ropes. Sometimes incentive programs can be very bureaucratic and complicated, but this was clean and simple, even when we ran into a deadline issue. It was nothing less than fantastic support."
Every lighting solution has strengths and weaknesses. Your Power Smart Alliance vendor can work with you to find the right solution for your needs and your budget.

Deoxyelephantopin (DET), a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone present in Chinese medicinal herb, Elephantopus scaber has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory as well as anticancer effects in various cancer cells of human origin in vitro. However, the exact molecular mechanism underlying DET-induced apoptosis remains largely unexplored, particularly in human hepatocellular carcinoma G2 (HepG2) cells. In the present study, we found that DET inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. This DET-mediated apoptosis was found to be associated with reactive oxygen species generation, glutathione depletion and decreased activity of thioredoxin reductase, mitochondrial membrane potential disruption, Bcl-2 family proteins modulation, cytochrome c release, caspases-3 activation, PARP cleavage and inhibition of NF-κB activation. DET inhibited the constitutive as well as induced-translocation of NF-κB into nucleus and augmented the apoptotic effect of Gemcitabine. IKK-16 (NF-κB inhibitor) further enhanced the cytotoxicity of DET and gemcitabine indicating that DET induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells at least partially through inhibition of NF-κB activation. Further mechanistic study demonstrated that DET inhibits the translocation of constitutive as well as induced NF-κB into nucleus by decreasing phosphorylation of IκBα. Moreover, pretreatment of cells with 3 mm NAC reversed DET-mediated cell death and NF-κB inhibition, indicating that DET exerts its anticancer effects mainly through oxidative stress. Therefore, DET may be developed into a lead chemotherapeutic drug as a single agent or in combination with clinical drugs for the effective treatment of liver cancer.

Q: How to prevent trailing slash on 404ing URLs that end with an extension in .htaccess? URLs with extensions resolve properly if they exist on the server, but if they don't exist, they 404, which is to be expected, but then the 404'd URLs get a trailing slash. Is there any way to prevent the trailing slashes on those 404'ing URLs?
Below is the .htaccess file in the root directory of my Wordpress install.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

# BEGIN MainWP
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-content/plugins/mainwp-child/(.*)$ /wp-content/plugins/THIS_PLUGIN_DOES_NOT_EXIST [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
# END MainWP
Options -MultiViews

A: To prevent a trailing slash from being added to URLs that end in an extension then it looks like you can just add another condition (ie. RewriteCond directive) to exclude such files from having a slash appended and redirected.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]

So, to prevent URLs that end in .html or .php from being processed:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.+\.(html|php)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ /$1$2/ [L,R=301]

Note that you will need to clear any intermediary caches, as the previous 301s will have been cached by the browser.
To handle any extension (of say between 2 and 4 chars), then you could perhaps do something like:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.+\.[a-z]{2,4}$


"New Practices/New Perspectives," the Thursday evening roundtable (fig. 1), demonstrated the kinds of collaborations required to develop a history of American art that is responsive to contemporary social movements and those movements' efforts to decolonize art institutions. In addition to Casey's insights into pedagogy, Karen Mary Davalos shared her ongoing work on creating a database of Mexican American artists to fill a lacuna in existing research tools. Darienne Turner discussed her upcoming exhibition of Lakota garments beaded with the American flag (a protective measure under white occupation), to open in June 2020 at the Baltimore Museum of Art. This exhibition will be displayed in the American galleries and is the first at the museum to focus on Native American art in about twenty-five years. Indeed, along with revelatory moments in the archive (in Jeff Richmond-Moll's discussion of John Singer Sargent, Juliet Sperling's treatment of David Claypoole Johnston, and Jennifer Sichel's analysis of critic Gregory Battcock), the research presented throughout the conference resisted tradition through an expanded scope, which included greater attention to Native American art history (in papers by Laura Smith, Rachel Allen, Emily Burns, and Emily L. Voelker) and hemispheric perspectives (included in Anna O. Marley's "Making History" and Florencia San Martin Riutort's work on Alfredo Jaar).
Convening at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on Friday, the first two panels worked against conventional wisdom that views the sacred and the local as necessarily anti-modern. Melanee C. Harvey offered compelling visual and primary evidence for understanding the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, DC, as significant to the establishment of an American architecture and a center for classical black nationalism. Emma Silverman introduced an entirely different type of American religious structure, the Dickeyville Grotto in Wisconsin. Built from a hodgepodge of found objects (memorably including a petrified potato), Silverman demonstrated how the grotto, as a roadside attraction, facilitated movement and infrastructure growth in the rural Midwest. Although the lightning round (fig. 2) focused on artwork in local, Midwestern collections, travel continued as a theme. With Karli Wurzelbacher's description, we could not help but imagine Rebecca Salsbury James's glass paintings traveling perilously from her home in Taos to the East Coast. Peter Hanh-Chih Wang showed us how contemporary photographer Wing Young Huie has played with the form of the photographer's road trip while emphasizing the difference of his own lens as an Asian American.
In the afternoon, Phoebe Wolfskill provided a convincing precedent for Romare Bearden's Folk Musicians (1941–42; Curtis Galleries, Minneapolis) with a little-known Ben Shahn photograph, demonstrating Bearden's painterly skills of reinterpretation and translation. Whitney Thompson gave us her own reinterpretation for Thomas Hovenden's Breaking Home Ties (1890; Philadelphia Museum of Art), which complicated the traditional view of the canvas as a sentimental work of nativist, even anti-immigrant bias. Taking into account that Hovenden was an Irish immigrant, she argued that the sentiments on display recall the tradition of the Irish Wake, a dramatized goodbye performed before friends and family left for the United States.
Where the previous day had been dominated by the movement of both images and artists, the last day of the conference, which took place at the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, focused more on questions of the body. Looking closely at two portraits of Tony Luhan by Edward Curtis and Ansel Adams, Monica Bravo concluded that both artists, in spite of their different relationships with the subject, employ Luhan as a type. Similarly, Ellery Foutch contended with exploitative imagery in her discussion of midcentury artist Zoe Mozert, whose commercial self-portraits as both a pin-up girl and artist trouble the boundary between women's agency and objectification. The "Forensic Anatomies" panel included two papers that considered representations of the body mutilated by war, both as displayed in Harper's Weekly, analyzed by Anne Cross, and as an exhibition at the Army Medical Museum in Julia Rosenbaum's haunting paper.
A reprieve from the dark subject matter of the morning, the lunchtime workshop created well-needed space for sharing pedagogical methods using primary sources from the Archives of American Art. In the latter half of the day, Margaret Innes and Louise Siddons considered how labor activists and the Black Panther Party, respectively, used representations of the body and physical gestures in their periodicals to reach broader audiences and build coalitions. On the other hand, the final panel demonstrated how objects as diverse as eighteenth-century needlework (Andrea Pappas), presidential dinnerware (Naomi Slipp), and lead sculptures (Angelica Maier) can help us think critically about the body and its confrontation with larger systems, such as gendered divisions of labor, wildlife management, and even household plumbing.

In 1987, one of those interviews was with novelist Ian McEwen, who had just published his third novel The Child in Time (which would go on to win the Whitbread Book Award.) McEwen has since written almost a dozen novels, including Atonement (2001) and The Children Act (2014). His newest novel, Nutshell, will be published by Jonathan Cape in September.
