Please recommend dreamy, melodic bands like Galaxie 500
August 31, 2010 3:51 PM Subscribe
Lately, '80s/'90s dream pop a la Galaxie 500 has really been hitting the spot. Please recommend more music that will send me drifting away into a sea of fuzzy bliss.
The sound I'm looking for is spacy, melodic, and warm. Some examples:
Galaxie 500: Strange, Tugboat
Damon & Naomi: ETA
Low: Over the Ocean
I'm already familiar with most of the well-known artists often associated with this sound, including Luna, Slowdive, Low, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, My Bloody Valentine, and Yo La Tengo. I'd like to know what else I've missed!
This related question got some great answers, but they tend toward the drony/psychedelic dimension of this music rather than the swooning vocals and guitars I'm looking for. Thanks!

Oh, man, too bad you didn't ask this question about six years ago when I listened to this stuff almost exclusively.
His Name is Alive
On!Air!Library!
Flying Saucer Attack is considerably more on the drone-y side, but still worth a go.

(The identical twin singers from On!Air!Library! are now in School of Seven Bells if they sound familiar/you want more of their vocals.)
Windy & Carl's first album, Drawing of Sound (just about everything after that is probably too much on the droning and psychedelic end of the spectrum, but that first album should hit your sweet spot).

the Drop Nineteens made an album called Delaware that is criminally underappreciated. i've been listening to shoegazer for years and years now, and i think this record is better than anything that My Bloody Valentine ever did.
there, i said it.
there are a couple of tracks on youtube :

Justin Bieber slowed down. I am not kidding--I am an all-my-life fan of a lot of the bands mentioned in this thread, and I seriously liked this track.

You probably already know Beach House, less guitar driven, but very dreamy and swoony as requested

Some early Boo Radleys might fit; some Pale Saints tracks too.

You'd be well served by some M83, and maybe some Panda Bear. It's similar in feeling, if not instrumentation.

Sarah Records had some of this type of band. Secret Shine ("Loveblind," "Sun Warmed Water"), Eternal, some Field Mice, Brighter, Harvest Ministers...
Eric Masunaga of the Dambuilders had a record label in the '90s called Sealed Fate that had a lot of bands that focused on this kind of dreampop music almost nostalgically, and usually with a more pop-focused angle (example: "Pop Quiz" by Sleepyhead, buncha stuff from The Fly Seville). I can't for the life of me remember the name of it but there was another label around then too that had tons of this stuff, but the noisier less poppy edge. My favorites on it were Astrobrite ("Crasher") and Suprashiny ("Lollipop"). Loveliescrushing and of course Cocteau Twins also come to mind, but I'm sure they're obvious.

And maybe too awash for you, but there's a band called Mahogany doing this sort of stuff now. Some of Piano Magic's stuff is similar too. Her Space Holiday and Bowery Electric come to mind too.
And this is really pushing it, but you may well like Disco Inferno even if it's not the exact same thing, often people who like the one kind of music like them as well. Certain early to mid-range Hood songs (Cabled Linear Traction, say) too. There's also a chance you'd dig the first three or four His Name is Alive albums too.

This genre is referred to as "shoegazing".

Here's an example of the kind of Piano Magic I'm thinking might be related (they have a huge, varied catalog, s'why). "French Mittens," "Amongst the Books, an Angel" are other examples.
and before, could I have said "too" possibly any more?! yeesh, sorry 'bout that.

You might like The Belltower — it was Britta Phillips's band before she was in Luna. They put out one really fantastic dream pop album in the early 90s and then sort of fell off the radar, and I've always thought they were horribly underappreciated.

But there's shoey and shoey: the bests show that cirripede is very much looking for the jangle/phase/wah/echo arpeggiated dreampop shoey and not wall-of-distortion OMFGMBV Jazzmaster/Jag shoey. (This taps deep into the foundations of my musical tastes.)
It now makes me think of a few of the tracks on Belly's Star, and perhaps even a few from The Sundays' Blind where you have more Cocteau-ish swirl than the other albums.

I loved both Galaxie 500 and My Bloody Valentine (and still do) -- but I wouldn't have called Galaxie 500 shoegazers. Galaxie 500 seemed to be a bit of a different scene: a more conventionally structured, warm-pop songwriting style with a strong Velvet Underground influence and added dreamy/psychedelic fuzz (which Dean Wareham cleaned up more for Luna). Yo La Tengo seem like closer colleagues, though I guess there's a lot of territory covered by fuzzy late-'80s/early-'90s bands!
Do you know the Silver Jews? Maybe more of an Americana influence than what you're seeking,
but their first album, Starlite Walker, might appeal to you -- here's "Advice to the Graduate" from it.
Opal? (Early Recordings = awesome. David Kendrick from this band later formed Mazzy Star.)
Or maybe the cluster of fuzzy New Zealand bands that had a heyday around then? The Clean? The Chills? The Bats? Look Blue Go Purple?
Teenage Fanclub, maybe especially their earlier stuff or Songs from Northern Britain? The Swirlies? Spiritualized?
More contemporary: Crystal Stilts? Vivian Girls?

Also check out the Slumberland compilation Why Popstars Can't Dance. On average, it's perhaps a bit more indiepop than dreampop, but there's some tracks that fit the bill on there, and it's a great overview of a scene.

I found Ring Deathstarr by plugging "dreampop" into last.fm a year ago. Damon and Naomi have said that the previously mentioned Opal were a big influence for them, so +1 for that. See also the first 3 albums by the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Raveonettes, and Kitchens of Distinction.

The mention of Flying Saucer Attack reminds me--they have an excellent cover of Suede's "The Drowners." Not poppy, more the droney edge you're wishing to avoid, but I thought I'd mention it ('cause damn, I love it).
This is another out on the limb suggestion--I do recognize the distinction you're making, that a couple upthread have described too, and respect it but you never know--early Lush, the shimmery stuff, might be to your liking.
So many good suggestions--just wanted to nth the Swirlies, Radio Dept, Asobi Seksu, Opal (not the same at all but Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star's solo albums are great too), Brian Jonestown Massacre (Methadrone and the Diane Perry tapes), the Clean, and the Clientele.
Another out on a limb one here, but Edith Frost has some very chilly songs on Calling Over Time and Telescopic and early stuff ("Ancestors" is the ultimate example but I can't find it online; the only YT video listed isn't it for some reason) that have a production/feel of "cold space" that reminds me a lot of Galaxie 500 (stuff like "Cold Night" and the cover of "Listen, the Snow is Falling"). She went into mega poppy mode after that, but her earlier stuff is chilly and gauzy and great.
posted by ifjuly at 8:35 AM on September 1, 2010
The only comparable album that really springs to mind for me when I think of Galaxie 500 would have the to be Bewitched by Luna; the album is sublimely good.
Another band that is kind of sort of connected vircariously through the "shoegaze" tag would have to be The Verve - really it's super awesome, almost forgotten A Storm in Heaven LP. It's more psychedelica than anything else...
Wait a minute, what about Asian Gangsta Kids by the criminally forgotten ee? ee was made up of former members of Chicago's Seam, whose the Problem With Me seems to be what you're looking for.
Thanks for posting this question by the way.... It takes me back to my angst-filled, utterly problem-free days of university, spinning records on the morning show or the late late late show at the university radio station, and then all the way to my early days in Japan in the mid-90s, before internet, divorced from any sort of access to pop or indie culture, save for the occassional NME, which was terrible, because reading NME in backwoods Japan in 1995 provoked profound homesickness. All these bands, including Ride and Stereolab casually playing little bars and nightclubs in London, which might have been the far side of the moon to me.
posted by KokuRyu at 7:35 PM on September 1, 2010
Thanks for the great answers. Some of these artists scratch my Galaxie itch just right, and some of them aren't quite there but I'm very happy to discover them all regardless. As some answers have observed, it's not shoegaze specifically that I'm after, but shoegaze is definitely close: synth washes, soaring vocals, fuzzy guitars, songs drenched in reverb.
lisa g, I love the Silver Jews! I'm not sure I'd classify them this way although the production on Starlite Walker and The Natural Bridge isn't that far off, e.g., Dallas.
ifjuly, it's funny—I thought I was the only person on Metafilter who evangelized for Edith Frost. I was just listening to Calling Over Time the other day. She's great.
For posterity's sake, I thought I'd add some recommendations from my own library that have a similar feel:
Slowdive, Machine Gun
Spiritualized, Shine a Light
Wire, Outdoor Miner (oddly enough)
Mogwai, Honey (Spacemen 3 cover)
Landing, "Where the Leaves No Longer Grow" (from split tour EP with Windy & Carl)
Also, not sure what it is, but lots of songs by the Delgados hit a similar place for me:
- Coming In from the Cold
- I Fought the Angels
- Pull the Wires from the Wall
posted by cirripede at 6:45 PM on September 4, 2010
You know, you might just want to go back to the source (for Galaxie 500 and Luna), which would have to be Velvet Underground and Lou Reed.
posted by KokuRyu at 12:06 AM on September 5, 2010
Wow, we really do have similar taste--that particular Slowdive song is wonderful, I must've listened to it 100 times a week as a sad teenager and could never convince any of the "music buff" dudes I met later on who loved Pygmalion that yes, Souvlaki had great moments too. And Wire! And Mogwai! Spiritualized! Silver Jews! Windy & Carl tour EPs!! Always great to know someone else loves the same stuff, that you're less of a weirdo. (:
Randomly, now given other bands mentioned you like, yet more comes to mind in case you haven't tried any of these (though you may well have obvy). These aren't related though to the initial query. There was this song from Juno called "The Great Salt Lake" years ago that felt wistful and cold starry-night-sky-ish to me too, and live they played it instrumental-only and it was still beautiful. Black Heart Procession comes to mind too, 2 and 3 I think ("Outside the Glass," "A Light So Dim," "Guess I'll Forget You," "A Heart the Size of a Horse," "It's a Crime I Never Told You About the Diamonds in Your Eyes," "Your Church is Red," "Blue Tears," "Gently off the Edge," "Waterfront"). And some Woven Hand ("Into the Piano," "Blue Pail Fever," "Tin Finger"). Early Songs: Ohia too--g'ah, I love cold-seeming, pitch black/dim sounds. The new Portishead is also amazing, and I was one of the only people in the '90s I knew who didn't really think a ton of the first two.
By the way, KokuRyu, I loved reading your memory of listening to this music back in the '90s. There's something so wistful and sad in these songs that makes them that much more apt to lock themselves in our memories. ifjuly, Souvlaki really brings me back, too—cold, gray mornings pulling into my high school parking lot.
And you have excellent taste! I agree about Portishead's Third—I liked the first two albums, but there's something haunting and delicate about the last one that makes it my favorite (especially The Rip—oh man).
The BHP is great; I discovered them about 7 years ago right after an awful breakup, which was the right moment. I haven't spent much time with Woven Hand, although I grew up in Denver and listened to a lot of 16 Horsepower, bleak teenager that I was.
I like that Juno song—it reminded me a bit of Arab Strap, actually. Are you familiar with them? Their 1999 live album, Mad for Sadness, is full of wonderfully spacy, chilly guitar sounds (e.g., New Birds, Girls of Summer, and esp. "My Favourite Muse"), as are their earlier studio records (see The Clearing).
Some more thoughts:
- A few songs off Mercury Rev's first two albums: Frittering, "Sweet Oddysee of a Cancer Cell t' th' Center of Yer Heart."
- Labradford (S, Mid-Range, WR) is a dronier, colder, more ambient exploration of this sound. Mi Media Naranja is just about my favorite record ever.
posted by cirripede at 9:58 AM on September 5, 2010
Yeah! I love Arab Strap (I think the official video for "Cherubs" is maybe the most beautiful music video ever), though I tend to prefer the earlier stuff before they became poppy-electronic (but even the later poppier stuff has Aidan's smart and tidy lyrics, very welcome indeed), and oh my gosh, Labradford was one of the most wonderful college shows I saw--they played in a little lecture room at Carnegie Mellon, it felt like being in a high school auditorium, all warm but dim lighting, carpeted walls and hushed sound. "Pico" is one of my favorites. What a great, great band. My husband calls me "mi media naranja" sometimes because we both love that album and he had to explain to me that it was a common term of affection. (:

The Arrival is a beautiful book.
Of the clients entering the immigration law office where I work, I notice continuity. By that I mean, the parent/s give their children a sense of their native culture while embracing the opportunities of the new country. Therefore, I think continuity is the most important thing to immigrant children.
Thanks for your comment, Canadian immigrant lawyer. The research certainly bears out your remarks. This is why there is emphasis on maintaining a child's home language (often called L1) while children learn a 2nd or 3rd language, for one example.
1. Compelling economic motive for establishment.
2. Responsive, free family assistance in L1 at zero social cost and without bureaucratic inefficiency.
3. Reinforcement of identity consistent with the Multiculturalism Act, in the best interests of children affected.
4. A keenly alert, culturally-attuned monitoring/intervention apparatus should negative alternatives to "inclusiveness" emerge (e.g. gang participation).
5. Fair return-on-investment to the sponsored parents, who have provided Canada with the economically-attractive primary immigrants' upbringing & education at no cost to Canada.

The Key to Reduced Loss and Miniaturization in Power Applications
Silicon carbide
SiC Schottky barrier diode
SiC-SBD
Reverse recovery time
Switching loss
Fast recovery diode
Temperature characteristic
ROHM has made continuing efforts to develop SBDs (Schottky barrier diodes) using SiC (silicon carbide) materials that are optimal for circuits providing high rated voltages and handling large currents, and in 2010 began mass production of SiC-based SBDs, a first in Japan. At present the company is offering its lineup of second-generation SiC-SBDs, and these products are expanding their use in a wide variety of applications, including automotive.
SiC-SBDs offer the following features.
・Fast reverse recovery time trr (high-speed switching possible)
・No temperature dependence of trr characteristic
・Low VF values (second-generation SBDs)
Below we will explain the advantages afforded by these features in actual use.
Greatly reduced switching losses
The reverse recovery time trr of SiC-SBDs has been greatly improved compared with Si diodes. The graph on the right compares the trr values of SiC-SBDs and Si-FRDs (fast recovery diodes). The time to recovery trr is short, the reverse current IR while the diode is turned off is much smaller, and convergence is faster. That is, the amount of reverse recovery charge Qrr is small, which means that switching losses are reduced.
When switching losses are low, two possibilities present themselves. One is that, when operating at the same switching frequency as Si-FRDs, heat generation of SiC-SBDs is reduced, and so the heat sink and board area used for heat dissipation can be made smaller. Of course this means improved efficiency. The other possibility, if SiC-SBDs can tolerate the same heat generation and switching losses as Si-FRDs, the switching operation of SiC-SBDs is faster. In the case of a switching power supply, by raising the switching frequency, smaller coils (inductors) and capacitors can be used, resulting in more compact design and reduced footprint.
Stable temperature characteristic achieved
Because the fluctuations with temperature in the characteristics of SiC are smaller than those for Si, the characteristics are stable even under elevated temperature conditions.
The characteristic of the previously discussed trr is also extremely stable with respect to temperature. Whereas the trr of Si-FRDs increases as the temperature rises, the trr of SiC-SBDs can be maintained nearly constant. And, there is almost no increase in switching losses even during high-temperature operation.
Further, the forward voltage VF of SiC-SBDs is about 1 V, or roughly the same as for Si-FRDs, but in contrast with Si-FRDs, the temperature coefficient is "positive" that is, VF rises with rising temperature. The solid lines in the graph of forward characteristics are for 25°C, and the broken lines are for 125°C (the different colors denote different device generations). These characteristics indicate that thermal runaway due to increased temperature will not readily occur, and help ensure safe operation under high-temperature conditions, such as when devices are connected in parallel.
Second-generation devices feature lower forward voltages, reduced conduction losses
ROHM's second-generation SiC-SBDs are already being mass-produced and supplied to customers. Through innovations in manufacturing processes, the second generation SiC-SBDs have achieved VF values approx. 0.15 V lower, while maintaining leakage currents and trr performance on a par with previous products. As a result, conduction losses due to VF are reduced. The red waveforms in the forward characteristic graph are for a first-generation SiC-SBD, and the blue waveforms are for the second generation; the lower VF can be seen directly.
SiC-SBDs offer improved VF in addition to reduced switching losses made possible by a fast trr, and thus are the lowest-loss diodes available among power diodes.
Support for smaller and more efficient power applications
We have described the features of SiC-SBDs, but now let us introduce a number of representative applications. By replacing conventional silicon diodes mainly in power-related applications, they will be key devices for boosting system efficiency and promoting miniaturization, which are critical issues today.
<Application Examples>
・PFC (power factor correction) circuits
・Motor driver circuits
・PV inverters (motors) etc.
The product lineup includes items for automotive applications, conforming to AEC-Q101. These products are being used in onboard charging control circuits for EVs and HEVs around the world, and already have many proven track records in the market.

Tirana the Mecca of MEK
Members of the Iranian opposition, MEK, held a super secrete meeting with their 3000 members in Tirana to celebrate the Iranian New Year, known as Nowruz.
They expressed their gratitude for the Albanian hosts, represented in the meeting by known political figures like Pandeli Majko, Fatmir Mediu and Elona Gjebrea. Also present in the event the presence of the head of the Catholic Church in Albania caught the eye, as a sign that the 3000 Iranians were rivals of the Ayatollah regime.
Leader of the resistance, Maryam Rajavi, said the Ayatollah regime is facing difficulties and is afraid that this kind of enthusiasm can be transformed into a political party especially with the support of the international community.
"Today, Ayatollah Khamenei is facing three main difficulties; he's afraid of the resistance of the Iranian people, he's afraid of the American policy in the region and is facing a bid dilemma on who is going to replace him. These issues have put the regime in serious alarm", she said. "Western governments should not by into the regime deceptions, false elections and victimize of the people. Politicians turn their head away when it comes to the human rights".
But until now, beside the US, tiny Albania is the other country who has given the best support for the organization. "For a three year period, with the wonderful cooperation of our partners, we managed to move 2500 members of the MEK organizations in Albania with no incidents at all. And today you are all here", Vice Minister of the Interior Affaris, Elona Gjebrea, said.
For Fatmir Mediu, leader Rajavi is a inspirational model for people around the world, while Pandeli Majko added a sense of humor to the gathering. "We socialists think it is been Nowruz Day all alongfor 4 years, while they think Nowruz Day will come after the elections. We are still debating…", Majko said.
Well-known personalities from US and France were also present, two countries that have helped the mujahidin move from Liberty Camp in Iraq to Albania. Among them was also former US Ambassador to UN John Bolton, recently mentioned as a possible candidate for the Secretary of State position in Trump administration.

Yes Pokémon with the Sheer Force Ability do not lose any HP from a Life Orb when using a move that has an additional effect.
From Bulbapedia: "If an item has two effects, only the effect(s) that activate after attacking will be negated. Therefore, if a Pokémon holds a Life Orb, it will gain the passive damage boost (because it is not activated after the attack) but the recoil effect afterward will be ignored."
Yeah, I only knew that 'cause Ben told me.
if i remember correctly it gets more than the usual boost to damage from life orb also.

Prosecutors say a Polk County man accused of lying to the FBI during a fraud investigation has a history of bilking others out of money or property.
James Parker, 57, of Goodson, was indicted Tuesday for allegedly making false statements to federal investigators about communicating with President Donald Trump and former President George Bush.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri is asking that Parker be held in jail as he awaits trial, arguing his history of fraud makes him a danger to the community.
In a motion filed Wednesday, federal prosecutors say Parker has a lengthy criminal history that includes being found guilty in 1981 of theft of property and failure to report or control a fire in Arkansas, being convicted of cattle theft in Texas nine years later and pleading guilty to theft of property and defrauding secured creditors in 2009.
In this most recent case, Parker is accused of taking more than $130,000 from another man which Parker claimed he needed for expenses related to the release of a substantial inheritance Parker was trying to secure from the U.S. government after his wealthy relative died and left him money at a bank in Africa.

Parker allegedly told FBI agents investigating the possible fraud that he had been in contact with President Trump and former President Bush about getting the money.
Court documents say the victim, who gave Parker the money, was a vulnerable target since he had recently suffered a serious work accident that left him with reduced mental faculties and he was relying on "faith healing" rather than hospital care.
In Wednesday's filing, federal prosecutors say Parker was part of a similar scam in 2009 where he took money from victims under the guise of securing an inheritance that a relative left for him in Nigeria.
Federal prosecutors say Parker is a danger to the victim in this case because he solicited money from the victim even after the FBI interviewed him and told him not to ask the victim for any more money.
Court documents say the victim liquidated assets, including real estate, to pay money to Parker.
A hearing has been scheduled for next week to determine if Parker should be held in jail before trial.

A common question we get asked is "why is my air conditioner not working" and here at ARMS One Hour Heating and Cooling Company we are here to help tackle this problem and provide our customers with a quick and speedy repair. There is no one size fits all answer for this question, your air conditioner is a complicated piece of equipment composed of many different parts.
At any time, any of these parts can be disrupted, and the repairs can either be a simple clean up, a switch to new parts, or a whole unit replacement, it all depends on the specific problem and its severity.
Many of the calls we receive about air conditioner problems can be solved with a simple repair and can even be prevented with a yearly maintenance check-up or tune up. Air conditioner maintenance is an important part of the overall care for your cooling unit; it helps extends its life and promises to keep it functional during the times your need it most.
Here are some common issues we run into on a daily basis, if you are experiencing a similar situation, call us for a quick troubleshoot, repair, or inspection and we will have your unit up and running again.
Air Conditioner Unit Won't Turn On – We find the root causes of this problem can be from either a broken thermostat, a tripped circuit breaker, or a dirty capacitor. Call a professional technician for service because if the problem is from a tripped breaker it can be dangerous to handle on your own. A dirty capacitor will need to be cleaned in a way that won't harm the other internal parts.
Air Conditioner Making Clicking Noise – The problem can be an improperly installed air conditioner. The size of the unit may not be appropriate for the home, and that could be what is causing this issue. The other issue could be due to the air handle; the air handler has a belt that connects to the motor, if this happens to slip then you will need to call for a service repair. Immediately shut off the air conditioner and call for an inspection.
Air Conditioner is Running but is Not Cooling the Home – The condenser being damaged can cause this to happen. The condenser is the part of the air conditioner that produces cold air; the fans can be running while your condenser has stalled which is why your air conditioner is functioning but not producing the cold air demanded from it. The other problem could be a lack of refrigerant that the air conditioner uses to produce the cold air. Either scenario needs to be inspected and if its the condenser it will need to be replaced. The problem can also be caused from faulty ductwork; an inspection will save you time figuring out the cause and get you back to having comfort in your home.
How Often Does an Air Conditioner Need Inspection? And Why?
It is heavily advised that you call a professional heating and cooling contractor to inspect your heating and cooling units once a year. The best time is before the summer and before the winter, so fall and spring. The benefits of having these yearly inspections can extend the life of your unit many years, save your money on energy bills and reduce the risk of costly repairs down the road.
Our air conditioning inspections and maintenance will send a qualified, experienced technician to your home who will perform the following tasks for you.
Checking and cleaning the motor, blower, drain lines, and coils.
Your air conditioner is comprised of all these parts, and each part needs to communicate and work together to deliver cold air as efficiently as possible to your home.
We understand the difficulty of having to replace your air conditioner, but this is part of the products we buy. Air Conditioners like anything else will eventually need to be replaced, and it can be from any number of reasons.
The air conditioner has simply gotten too old and is no longer capable of operating efficiently. Most air conditioners last 10-15 years when cared for properly, and usually in that time span, more energy efficient products will have been released from any major manufacturer so that a replacement might be very beneficial for potential savings for your home.
These are some of the scenarios you might encounter when dealing with an air conditioner that needs to be replaced more than it needs to be repaired.
ARMS One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning emphasizes quality customer service and working with you to figure out the best options for your home and your family.

If you're a new Business Start Up and need to sort some business finance out. Then you may wish to consider looking for a Startup Loan.
Typically there are many and varied businesses who will need to sort out a Startup Loan in order to get things moving.
Although originally an initiative set up by the government to help younger person's, such as graduates. The Start-Up Loans Company has, however, over the year's raised its applicant's age limits, a number of times. So as to encourage a wider range of people to start up their own businesses.
It was realised that access to business finance was a stumbling block for a high number of businesses, either due to having a poor credit history which meant that they'd be unsuccessful in obtaining a business loan via the High Street Banks. Or the fact they were a new business with no or limited trading history, again causing problems when wishing to access finance via the High Street Banks.
Ultimately this means that Business Grants are not as easily available or accessible as they were once deemed to be – Especially for New Start-Up Businesses.
Startup Loan applications are made by individuals and not businesses. So this means if successful the loan is provided to the individual and not the business. Currently, a loan value of up to £25,000 over a five-year period can be applied for at a low APR rate of 6%.

An Alberta couple who won more than $8.7 million in Tuesday's World Juniors' 50/50 draw says the windfall still hasn't sunk in.
In an interview with CTV News, Hayley McNeil and Kyle Isaac called the money a "game changer."
"Doesn't seem real," said Isaac, who works as a heavy duty mechanic for a mine in Yukon Territory.
The two winners are originally from Yukon, but have been living in Alberta for 12 years, spending the last six in Calgary.
"We were tuning in largely because of Dylan Cozens who's a young Yukon hockey player," said McNeil.
"He's the first Yukoner to play in the World Juniors and to be drafted to the NHL, so we were so excited to watch him play and cheer him on and as we were watching we saw the jackpot grow and grow and grow, we're like, 'What the hell? Let's buy a ticket,' and we got lucky."
Some may say 'lucky' is an understatement. Tuesday's $17.5 million total pot was the largest in a series of online 50/50 draws during the hockey tournament which was played in Edmonton over the holidays.
"It was disbelief. It was hard to wrap your head around it. Didn't seem real till we got the email confirmation back from Hockey Canada, says, 'Congratulations.' Then we knew it was real," Isaac said.
Millionaires, or not, the two say they both plan to continue to work.
"I still love what I do, it's just now it's stress free working," said McNeil, who does health and safety for a powerline company.
"You've got a bit more flexibility, financial freedom obviously and you can choose work life balance over just the hustle and bustle and climbing the ladder," she said.
McNeil says they already have a few ideas on how they'll spend their winnings.
"I wish we could be going on a hot vacation, but we're not politicians so we'll do that when the time's right. We've talked about burning the mortgage that's for sure and send some of our wealth home to our family in the Yukon."
"Share the wealth, it's the right thing to do," added Isaac.
With their new found fortune the Calgary couple hasn't forgotten what motivated them to watch Tuesday's gold medal game in the first place.
"We'll probably pick up some Dylan Cozens jerseys now as a thank you for making us tune in and watch and cheer him on," said McNeil. "Maybe next year we'll hit up the World Juniors because they're going to be in Alberta again."
The online 50/50s were held every game day throughout the tournament and tickets were only available to people in Alberta.
Money raised through the draws will be put toward hockey initiatives in Alberta.
City council endorses deployment of naloxone first responders
City council has voted unanimously in favour of endorsing the deployment of naloxone for all first responders, including Windsor Fire and Rescue and police.
At least three provinces are now temporarily delaying or pausing COVID-19 vaccination programs amid fallout from Pfizer's decision to reduce Canada's vaccine deliveries over the next month.
Mental fatigue from the COVID-19 pandemic continues for residents in Saskatchewan, and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) said it's likely not going anywhere as uncertainty to a pandemic end date remains.

REVIEW: TPI's LA CAGE Sparkles with Love

BREVARD CULTURE Theater Critic
Glitter and feathers and lights may play tricks with your eyes as the Master of Ceremonies introduces the ladies of "La Cage aux Folles," in the current production now playing at the Titusville Playhouse. And if, as the emcee begs us, you "open your eyes," you will see a high-spirited and touching musical that will warm your heart.
As the lively overture comes to a close, Georges, the emcee and owner of the St. Tropez drag nightclub, "La Cage aux Folles," welcomes the audience and introduces them to Les Cagelles, six amazingly talented chorus "girls." The first line they sing is, "We are what we are and what we are is an illusion."
Daniel McDonald in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Titusville Playhouse. Photo by Niko Stamos.
With music and lyrics by the legendary Jerry Herman ("Hello, Dolly!") and book by Harvey Fierstein ("Torch Song Trilogy"), "La Cage aux Folles" won six 1983 Tony Awards. Based on Jean Poiret's 1973 French play, the musical is set both in the nightclub and in the home of Georges (Daniel McDonald) and his husband, Albin (Steven J. Heron). Georges owns the nightclub while its star is Albin, a well known female impersonator. Conflict arises when Georges' son, Jean-Michel (Joey Leavitt), announces he is engaged to Anne Dindon (Dani Montalvo), whose father (Michael Funaro) is leader of an ultra conservative political party which has its eye set on closing down local drag clubs.
From left: Michael Funaro, Lillie Eliza Thomas, Dani Montalvo and Jordyn Linkous in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Titusville Playhouse. Photo by Niko Stamos.
Adding to the stunning news is the even more alarming announcement that the Dindons are coming that evening for dinner and to meet Georges and Jean-Michel's mother, Sybil. Jean-Michel demands that Georges must tell the lovable Albin that he will not be introduced and must stay away from their apartment until the Dindons return home. Sybil has had very little contact with Jean-Michel. Instead, Albin became like a surrogate mother and provided devoted love as he and George raised Jean-Michel together. Albin is crushed.
Throughout the drama and heartbreak of this dilemma, the show must go on in the drag club; and we are drawn in again and again as the Cagelles are announced and perform their show-stopping musical numbers led splendidly by music director Spencer Crosswell.
From left: Tyrique Moore (Phaedra), AJ Makielski (Francis), Dereck J. Caraballo, Taylor Casey, Erica Bargas, Noah Mcamis and Kevin Nolan in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Titusville Playhouse. Photo by Niko Stamos.
Costumed in leotards, corsets and bustiers all designed by Matthew Wright for the original Broadway production, the six Cagelles sing and dance effortlessly with strength and grace and in heels! And boy can they high-kick their shapely legs! All I can say is wow to their jump splits, especially the powerful Phaedra's (Tyrique Moore). Luke Atkinson wears many hats in this show. He not only appears as the whip snapping Cagelle, Hanna, but he is responsible for all the terrific choreography and creative stage lighting and scenery for this production. Another Cagelle, Chantal (Taylor Casey) shines vocally as she sings like a bird in a true high soprano range. Her last note is magnificent!
The cast of "La Cage" performs seamlessly. Their characters connect with each other and the audience feels comfortable and thoroughly entertained. Although we don't meet the Dindons until the middle of the second act, Funaro and Lillie Eliza Thomas, who plays Mme. Dindon, are delightful. Their physical and facial reactions to meeting Jean-Michel's family and their double-takes as they try to make sense of their daughter's future life with this new family keep the audience laughing.
Steven J. Heron in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Titusville Playhouse. Photo by Niko Stamos.
The performance of "Cocktail Counterpoint" by both families is an audience favorite. The choreography and the precision necessary to perform this piece is priceless. Leavitt never drops one of the plates thrown to him! Jacqueline (Danielle Lang) owns a chic restaurant where it is hard to get a table. She is a dear friend of Georges and Albin. Lang glides across the stage, always graceful and statuesque. Her natural warmth is reflected in her beautiful smile. Her vocals are strong as is her dialogue.
Leavitt and Montalvo make a sweet couple. Leavitt's performance of "With Anne on My Arm" is lovely. When the couple dance, their eyes connect and we see young love. The lift is beautiful and romantic. Jordyn Linkous plays Jacob, Georges and Albin's sassy, sarcastic "maid." He only has to appear on stage (always in a new outrageous outfit that he actually looks great in) and the audience is his!
Steven J. Heron and Daniel McDonald as Albin and Georges couldn't be more different, but they make a beautiful pair. When Albin takes off his makeup and Georges hangs up his glitzy tuxedo jacket, Heron and McDonald make theater magic with a chemistry on stage that makes the audience care for these characters as a couple who struggle, and laugh, and doubt, and encourage…but most of all love. They are a family, their "own special creation," and that makes them strong.
McDonald as Georges emphasizes to Jean-Michel how important family is when he sings "Look Over There." It is a beautiful moment in the show, not only because of the power of the words, but also because of the pain and love Georges feels for both Albin and Jean-Michel that is reflected in his eyes as he looks from one to the other.
Steven Heron in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Titusville Playhouse. Photo by Niko Stamos.
Watching Heron on stage is a joy. He is a born showman. What fun to see Heron transform as he sings "A Little More Mascara" into a gorgeous starlet complete with wig, dress, heels and a lit runway that connects him with the audience. At the end the song she is in a spotlight surrounded by her adoring fans. Another audience favorite is the song "Masculinity," in which Heron gets instruction from McDonald, AJ Makielski, Sarah Biggs and Jacob Govatos on how to walk and act like a man. Heron's physicality makes for great comedy.
But playing Albin gives Heron an opportunity to show his dramatic skills as well as his comedic prowess. At the end of Act I, Heron makes a solitary walk down the lit runway dressed in a demure gown into the center of the house. He is devastated by Jean-Michel's rejection and expresses his pain and anger with a powerful and emotional rendition of "I Am What I Am." A brilliant moment of theater.
Smartly directed by Niko Stamos, "La Cage aux Folles" moves through multiple scene changes effortlessly. Luke Atkison's set design is functional and is enhanced by his lighting design which can change a seedy space into something beautiful under the lights. While in Jacqueline's restaurant, we would have liked to have seen the long, bare, brown table with something on it to reflect the glamour that Jacqueline represents. The scenes using the beautiful bird cage are visually spectacular and intriguing.
The lesson is simple: Looking deeply into each other's eyes, sing a simple love song in harmony and share a kiss. The best of times!
SIDE O' GRITS: "La Cage Aux Folles" runs through Feb. 3 at Titusville Playhouse, 301 Julia St., Titusville, FL. Tickets $21 to $29. Call 321-268-1125 or visit TitusvillePlayhouse.com.

Did James Gunn Just Tease Idris Elba's Character In The Suicide Squad?
Did James Gunn Just Tease Idris Elba's Character In The Suicide Squad?
One of the big changes we knew that James Gunn was making in his upcoming Suicide Squad sequel – er, sorry, "total reboot" – was replacing Will Smith with Idris Elba as Deadshot. However, this was proven wrong when it was announced Warner Bros. had ultimately decided to switch Elba's character for a new one. But which DC supervillain is Elba going to portray in The Suicide Squad?
Well, Gunn has always liked to tease his fans with what's to come in his movies on social media. He's not really active on Twitter anymore, but his Instagram story is becoming the place to pay attention to instead. Previously, for example, he shared some Harley Quinn fan art, which fans took to be a hint that Margot Robbie will reprise her role in the movie. Now, he's posted a cover of a classic SS comic from the John Ostrander run in the 1980s.
Is James Gunn Teasing Idris Elba's Character In The Suicide Squad?
This likely tells us that we can expect Ostrander's work to be a big influence on Gunn's take on Task Force X. That's only natural, too, as the comic book creator is responsible for reimagining the team of anti-heroes into what we know them as today. Looking at the choice of characters on display in this particular cover, though, could Gunn be teasing that Elba's playing Bronze Tiger in his film?
As soon as Deadshot was ruled out, fans latched onto the idea of Bronze Tiger as the most likely role for the actor, seeing as he's one of the most prominent squaddies we haven't seen in the movies yet. TV fans will be familiar with the character though, as Michael Jai White played him in the first couple of seasons of Arrow. Elba would be a great fit for Ben Turner, too, a non-powered yet highly-skilled member of the League of Assassins, so let's hope we're on the right track.
Of the 2016 cast, Viola Davis and Jai Courtney are confirmed to return as Amanda Waller and Captain Boomerang, respectively, with Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag and Robbie as Quinn also expected. Filming begins on The Suicide Squad later this year before it hits theaters on August 6th, 2021.

The discography of Loreen, a Swedish pop music singer-songwriter, consists of two studio albums and fifteen singles.

Loreen first appeared as a featured artist on Freestyle's single "Vill ha dig" in 2004, following her appearance on Idol. Loreen returned to the public eye when she took part in Melodifestivalen 2011 with the song "My Heart Is Refusing Me", which she co-wrote with Moh Denebi and Björn Djupström. The single peaked at number nine on the Swedish singles chart. She followed this with the release of "Sober" which gave her a second top 30 hit in Sweden, charting at number twenty-six.

Her major breakthrough occurred when she won the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 for Sweden with the song "Euphoria". The song charted at number one in seventeen countries, including her native Sweden, Germany and Russia. The single also charted top three in the United Kingdom and Spain. The song also received success outside of Europe; it charted in Australia and Japan. Loreen re-released "My Heart Is Refusing Me" as her worldwide second single. The song was considerably less successfully and charted in a handful of countries only. Meanwhile, she released an exclusive single in Sweden—"Crying Out Your Name" which became her fourth top 30 hit, charting at number nineteen after release in October 2012. "We Got the Power" marked Loreen's third worldwide single and appears in the reissue of Loreen's debut album Heal. In Sweden, it charted at number fifty-two.

Loreen competed in Melodifestivalen 2017 with the song "Statements" for a chance to represent Sweden again at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. On 25 February 2017, she qualified for the Andra chansen round, but lost her duel against Anton Hagman and was subsequently eliminated from the competition. Her sophomore album Ride was released on 24 November 2017.

In 2020, Loreen signed with Universal Music Group, and later that year took part in the Swedish television show Så mycket bättre, where she performed three songs in Swedish, which were later released as singles. She released her first self-written Swedish song "Sötvattentårar" in 2021 and returned to English for her single "Neon Lights" in 2022.

Loreen competed in Melodifestivalen 2023 with the song "Tattoo", which later won the competition and earned Loreen the right to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

Selling Your Surplus? Customer Service Makes a Difference.
Before purchasing your surplus items – whether large construction assets or consumer electronics – your buyers are bound to have a few questions. And since buyers' perceptions of your company are reality, your customer service team can play a vital role in whether the sale goes through and whether or not you gain a loyal customer from it.
We recently polled our surplus buyers on what they value most in a surplus purchasing experience. We found that one of the aspects most strongly correlated with a buyer's overall satisfaction is customer service quality. Additionally, a large majority of surplus buyers are over age 45, and this demographic generally appreciates a more personal level of service.
So what does good customer service entail? As you'll find, it's important to be knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, and flexible to your customers' needs. By providing a high level of customer service, you will gain loyal customers who will want to do business with you time and time again, which will then result in more bids and a higher recovery for your surplus items. When a customer has an expectation of a reliable, pleasurable experience with a brand, loyalty increases.
Here are a few tips on how to create an exceptional experience for your buyers and, in turn, maximize recovery for your business.
It is important to be able to reassure your customers that you are there to help make their buying process easier. Being knowledgeable ensures you can answer any questions, or resolve any issues – most of them on first contact. Make sure your representatives have a working knowledge of your industry and of the surplus they're selling. Be informed on details of the surplus such as the condition, the original manufacturer, and more. This helps create a sense of credibility and trust between you and your customers, leading to more purchases and loyal customers.
You must also be helpful when communicating with your customers. This builds trust between you and your customers, assuring them you have their best interests at heart. By being helpful and responsive, you create positive customer experiences and facilitate fast resolutions to their questions/issues.
Take time out to educate your buyers – This can be done by explaining how auctions work, guiding them through the registration process, and providing accurate and detailed product listings. Then, help to manage their expectations by discussing next steps. A great example is to help them set up a time to view the surplus in person, or teach them how to move forward by making a bid.
Be prepared for questions – Your surplus buyers may have questions on everything from payment to logistics, to vehicle titling or tax-exemption filings. Be there to answer any buyer questions – no matter how basic or complex.
Have a human response (as opposed to automated) – Human emotion is a big factor when it comes to customer service. And hearing out a customer's frustrations can be just as important as the technical solution you are providing. Surplus customers prefer a human response because they feel like their problem is being heard and will be solved. Having customer service team members available for customer's calls will allow your business to create and build relationships with your buyers.
Many buyers are first-time buyers and need assistance and reassurance during the registration, bidding, and post-sale processes. Educating buyers on these processes will help them feel more comfortable bidding and buying, increasing the chances they have positive experiences and become loyal customers.
Buyers come in all forms, from computer savvy professionals in a hurry to construction personnel out in the field. Your customer support team must be adept at identifying needs and adjusting accordingly to provide the best customer experience.
Commit to offering phone, email, and live chat support no matter the time zone, language, or preferred communication method of your buyers via a friendly, dedicated support team. Since staffing a 24/7 customer service line is time- and resource-intensive, consider outsourcing this function to a partner.
In the end, it's all about tailoring the experience for the buyer.
Follow these proven tips to develop a helpful, responsive customer experience that makes your surplus buyers want to come back time and time again and also tell others about their experience.
There is a high level of time and resources involved in providing premium-level customer service to your surplus buyers, especially if it is not your core business function. Consider enlisting an outside partner to handle all of your surplus asset or inventory needs. Contact Liquidity Services today to discover how we deliver top-quality customer service for buyers of your surplus.

Kirstene Janette Hair (born 12 August 1989) is a former Scottish Conservative Party politician. She was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Angus between 2017 and 2019.

Early life and career
Hair was born on 12 August 1989 in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. She grew up in a large farming family based in Mains of Ardovie Farm. Hair has one younger brother and two older sisters. She was educated at Brechin High School where she was the head girl. Hair went on to study politics at the University of Aberdeen.

After graduation, Hair worked as an events manager and executive personal assistant at the Scottish publishing company DC Thomson. She stood as a Scottish Conservative Party candidate for Angus South at the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, and was defeated by incumbent Scottish National Party (SNP) MSP Graeme Dey.

Parliamentary career
Hair was elected to the House of Commons in 2017, overturning a majority of 11,230 to unseat the Scottish National Party (SNP) chief whip, Mike Weir. The constituency had been represented by an SNP MP since its creation in 1997.

In the UK Parliament, she was a member of the Scottish Affairs Select Committee, Home Affairs Select Committee, and Women and Equalities Committee. She had been a member of the Regulatory Reform Committee since November 2017.

Hair did not vote in the 2016 UK EU Membership referendum. In September 2017, she commented that she chose not to vote at the time as she could not decide on whether to support the UK leaving or remaining within the EU as she felt that there were strong arguments on both sides. She voted for then-Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit withdrawal agreement in early 2019. In the indicative votes on 27 March, Hair voted against a referendum on a withdrawal agreement, against a customs union with the EU, and against single market membership.

In January 2019, she was appointed as a parliamentary private secretary (PPS) in the Ministry of Justice. In June, Hair became the PPS to David Mundell, Secretary of State for Scotland. In October, she voted for Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit withdrawal agreement. In the December general election, Hair lost her seat to the SNP candidate, Dave Doogan.

In September 2020, she became an advisor to the new leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Douglas Ross.

Belegschaftsaktien () sind eigene Aktien, die eine Aktiengesellschaft ihrer Belegschaft zur Verfügung stellt.

Allgemeines
Aktien werden im Regelfall überwiegend an der Börse gehandelt, jedoch kann ein Teil der Aktien aus diesem Streubesitz außerhalb der Börse sich in Händen von Großaktionären, im Eigenbestand (eigene Aktien) oder bei Mitarbeitern befinden. Die Ausgabe von Belegschaftsaktien, meist mit Rabatten von 20 % bis 40 % auf den aktuellen Börsenkurs, ist die vorherrschende Form der Mitarbeiterbeteiligung durch Mitarbeiter-Kapitalbeteiligung in Deutschland. Belegschaftsaktien werden an Mitarbeiter und den Vorstand ausgegeben, möglich sind dabei auch Aktienoptionen.

Zweck
Belegschaftsaktien sind ein Instrument der Vermögensbildung in Arbeitnehmerhand und stellen eine Beteiligung eines Arbeitnehmers am Unternehmen des Arbeitgebers dar. Sie dienen zudem der Mitarbeiterbindung und können eine Stärkung des Arbeitnehmerinteresses an den Unternehmenszielen herbeiführen. Sie können auch zur Arbeitsmotivation in Form von Bonuszahlungen oder als Incentives ausgegeben werden.

Rechtsfragen
Aktienrechtlich stehen der Aktiengesellschaft drei Wege offen, um Belegschaftsaktien an ihre Mitarbeiter ausgeben zu können:
 Nach  Abs. 1 Nr. 2 AktG darf eine Aktiengesellschaft eigene Aktien erwerben, wenn sie diese ihrem Personal zum Erwerb anbietet. Die eigenen Aktien sind jedoch auf 10 % des Grundkapitals beschränkt (§ 71 Abs. 2 AktG).
 Belegschaftsaktien können auch als bedingtes Kapital geschaffen werden durch Gewährung des Bezugsrechts an Arbeitnehmer ( Abs. 2 Nr. 3 AktG).
 Die Ausgabe von Belegschaftsaktien ist auch durch genehmigtes Kapital nach  Abs. 4 AktG und  Abs. 3 AktG möglich.
Daraus folgt, dass die Emission von Aktien durch einfache Kapitalerhöhung nicht für Belegschaftsaktien genutzt werden darf;  AktG sieht das nicht vor.

Steuerliche Aspekte
Werden Belegschaftsaktien zu einem niedrigeren Kurs als dem Börsenkurs an Mitarbeiter ausgegeben, so ist der Preisvorteil als Arbeitslohn anzusehen, weil die Verbilligung steuerlich als geldwerter Vorteil beim Arbeitnehmer gilt. Hierzu regelt  Nr. 39 EStG unter Verweis auf  Abs. 1 Nr. 1a Fünftes VermBG, dass dieser geldwerte Vorteil bis zu einem Freibetrag von 1440 Euro steuerfrei bleibt.

Sperrfrist
Wegen der Ausgabe zum Vorzugskurs sind Belegschaftsaktien in der Regel mit einer Sperrfrist von fünf Jahren versehen, innerhalb derer sie nicht verkauft werden dürfen. Die Verwahrstelle hat diese Sperrfrist zu beachten. Ausnahmen gibt es nur bei Arbeitsunfähigkeit oder Tod des Belegschaftsaktionärs. Ferner sind steuerliche Nachteile möglich, wenn die Belegschaftsaktien innerhalb einer bestimmten Frist nach dem Kauf wieder verkauft werden. Für Aktien, die vor dem 1. April 2009 erworben wurden, ist der inzwischen aufgehobene § 19a EStG a. F. zu beachten. Danach muss der geldwerte Vorteil, der bei einem Verkauf innerhalb von sechs Jahren anfällt, in jedem Fall voll versteuert werden. Die Frist von sechs Jahren beginnt am 1. Januar des Jahres, in dem die Aktien angeschafft wurden. Das Gleiche gilt, wenn die Belegschaftsaktien bis zum 1. Januar 2016 angeschafft wurden, aufgrund einer vor dem 1. April 2009 geschlossenen Vereinbarung, die dem Mitarbeiter einen verbindlichen Anspruch auf den Bezug der Aktien zum Vorzugskurs einräumte ( Abs. 35 EStG).

The 2015 Emmys In Memoriam Honors Leonard Nimoy, Edward Herrmann & More In A Touching Tribute
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
While a big portion of the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards was dedicated to honoring the best shows and actors currently on television, there was one particular part of the evening that was guaranteed to punch and kick us right in the feels. I'm, of course, referring to the Emmys' 2015 In Memoriam segment, which was created as a way to pay tribute to notable TV figures who died within the past year. And while this is meant to celebrate each actor or writer's many contributions to the industry, it's hard to not get a little teary-eyed when you see all that the entertainment world has lost. And this year was certainly no exception.
Leonard Nimoy, known best for his iconic role as Spock throughout the Star Trek television franchise, was showcased throughout the touching tribute, along with numerous other familiar faces, such as Edward Herrmann, Mike Nichols, Joan Rivers, and many more.
As usual, though, due to the award ceremony's time limitations, not everyone who passed away was able to be included within the reel, which this year included late Can't Buy Me Love star Amanda Peterson. This understandably doesn't always sit well among some viewers, considering that it seems to imply that some people were more worthy of the tribute than others.
But regardless of how you feel about the segment in general, there's no way it didn't leave you reaching for a box full of tissues by the end of the clip, which was made all the more emotional by "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" playing in the background. It's always shocking to realize just how many lives were lost with each passing year, but if this In Memoriam proves anything, it's this — they may be gone, but they'll never be forgotten.

Open Storage Shines as Sun Sets
By Paul Shread,
Sun's Open Storage program was its strongest business in the March quarter — just in time for Oracle to figure out what to do with the program.
Sun Microsystem's (NASDAQ: JAVA) Open Storage efforts shone in the company's March quarter — just in time for Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) to figure out what to do with the program.
Sun's overall sales declined by 20 percent in the quarter to $2.61 billion, about $240 million below analysts' estimates. The company reported a net loss of $201 million, but its cash burn slowed to just $18 million in the quarter, as the company ended the quarter with $2.99 billion in cash and marketable securities and $1.26 billion in long-term debt.
Sun did not hold a conference call after issuing the report, which could be its last before it is acquired by Oracle.
Of Sun's key growth areas — Total Software, Open Storage, Solaris-based SPARC CMT Servers and X64 Servers — Open Storage posted the strongest growth, with a 63 percent jump in billings.
With $127 million in billings in the last four quarters, Open Storage is just a small part of Sun's $2 billion storage business, but it's the only part of the business showing substantial growth. Tape storage eked out a 3 percent gain in the quarter, but the rest of Sun's storage business was down by more than $100 million.
Based on JBOD-like hardware and open source software, Sun's "Amber Road" systems and newer high-performance systems seem to have caught on in a price-sensitive market.
"Amber Road was the best thing Sun ever did in storage," said Illuminata analyst John Webster. "It took them decades but they finally got it right. Alas, too late to save them."
While the company's cash burn rate has slowed to a crawl, Webster thinks Sun did the right thing by selling the company.
"Perhaps they could have survived for years, but at what value? As a publicly traded company, the board has a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value, so it's not just about survival," he said.
The Oracle-Sun merger is expected to close this summer.

Motor homes clampdown called for on Llandudno promenade
A NEW clampdown has been called for on motor home owners who park overnight on Llandudno's North Shore.
Residents and hoteliers say they're fed up with the vehicles being parked in front of their properties.
Caravans and caravanettes are banned from the promenade road between midnight and 8am but many seem to ignore the ban.
A man who lives in a flat on the Parade says motor homes sometimes park on the road for several nights at a time, ruining his sea view.
"There are signs up saying they shouldn't park there between midnight and 8am, but when I've spoken to some of them they say they haven't seen the notices," he said.
"The problem is that traffic wardens don't work between those hours so they know they're not likely to get a fine.
"As far as they're concerned it's a cheap campsite for them.
"In the past they have been seen to empty their waste water into the drains, which isn't very hygienic," he claimed.
And hotelier Trevor Mitchell of the Chatsworth House Hotel said it was an ongoing problem, and guests had complained that the caravanettes spoiled the view of the sea from the hotel.
"The larger ones also take up more than one parking space, and as parking on the promenade is at a premium anyway, this annoys people.
"They have also parked in disabled spaces, and some of them have even walked into the hotel to use our toilet facilities which is an absolute cheek," he complained.
Mr Mitchell said he was thinking of writing to Conwy County Council asking for a reduction in his rates because of the problem. Town councillor Brian Bertola said he had spoken to several hoteliers who were unhappy about the situation.
"These motor home owners are using the parade as a campsite," he complained.
"If they pay for a day's parking from 10am-4pm it only costs them £4, so it's cheaper than going to a proper site."
