We've already filled you in on Rhino's upcoming Record Store Day releases from the late David Bowie, but the label has now confirmed the rest of its vinyl offerings for the April 16 event! This year's crop of 25+ titles is a diverse one, with a number of vinyl premieres, new entries in the label's longtime "Side by Side" series, and more! You'll find all details just below.
Madonna – Like A Virgin & Other Big Hits!
Ho-hum. Vinyl. Call me when Record Store Day has stuff for the CD buyers that have kept the independent "record" stores afloat since 1990..
Aaaand stuff that's affordable too, regardless of the format. The Grateful Dead release, for instance. That's a great show, but $80??
I guess The Monkees collection, 10 LPs for $135, is a steal by comparison. But still nuts.
I don't understand the current vinyl craze (is it even a "craze"? I don't know anyone who buys vinyl), and I know media outlets keep writing obituaries for CDs, but we CD buyers are still out there. Just give us a reason to come back to your stores, retailers!
They sell a ton of vinyl on RSD every year. I just wonder how many buyers actually play those records, or if they just file them away? I have been suckered into buying a couple over the life of RSD and a needle has never touched down of any of them. That is why I stopped. I feel like if I am not going to play and enjoy them, why buy em? However I think vinyl is the only music format that has shown big increases in the last couple of years. I do wonder if that is due to the high sticker price or if it is number of pieces sold? I don't know how they measure that.
Buy what you like. Period. I know there are collectors of everything under the sun who never touch what they collect. Must consider themselves museum curators or something. It's their hobby, so fine. There are plenty of speculators who drive up costs in any collector's market (remember the B&W Comic book glut of the 1980s?).
There are also plenty of folks who just enjoy what they purchase. Certainly the broad majority (imnsho).
And if you want to say that the media is too expensive, well LPs cost $10.95 ca 1985 for domestic releases. Much of the quality then was cr*p. So $15 to $30 for most records isn't really such a jump in 1985 dollars. Also, most LPs pressed today are done so in fairly limited numbers; economies of scale don't come into play as much in the current vinyl market.
Heck, if I were a Bill Gates, I would own several $30,000 turntables and all of the exotic cables in the world. I bet you could find plenty of ways to squander excess wealth that would put off plenty of folks who just wouldn't "get it".
And to the complainers, it might be worth looking into how little most artists make from streaming services. Certainly less than is necessary to support the kinds of creativity seen in past epochs. But at least we American Idol and The Voice to keep us in pop bubblegum and MOR music. Ho Hum, indeed!
Lastly, vinyl sales are the only segment of the music industry to be posting meaningful profits.
By all means, stay home and leave these gems in the stores for me!

Thanks to Bianca and Farrel our de facto Partner visa application was approved in only 6 months. The process is time consuming as we had surfaced every bit of detail expressing how we began, developed and came to be together. Bianca and Farrel persisted and we remember and think about all the moments which developed our relationship to what it is now, surprising ourselves on how far our journey had come. Their support and organisation molded our case in accuracy and strength to deliver in the end on an application we thought would be much easier.

The survey contains hundreds of questions about target customers, cost and features. The results are available by clicking here. You can also complete an online survey about your requirements, then view the 10 best systems for your needs based on percentage fit calculations here. As with all our surveys, we were unable to validate the information supplied to us by the vendors. However, we don't think there will be that many intentional mistakes, partly because the vendors will lose credibility if they are caught making false claims.
We contacted Salesforce and Microsoft to get their perspective on CRM trends. Not surprisingly, both organizations ranked cloud computing, mobility and social networks at the top of the list.
First, cloud computing. Salesforce started life in the clouds before it became popular. In a true cloud environment (also known as a public cloud), the customer does not worry about upgrades. This is because of what is called multitenant architecture, whereby a single instance of a software application serves multiple customers. Thus when an upgrade occurs, multiple customers are upgraded at the same time.
However, some do not have multitenant architecture. Instead, they have what they call private clouds (or what Salesforce calls false clouds). These solutions have many of the advantages of the public clouds; the vendors also say they offer a more secure and customizable environment. However, customers have to think about upgrades, which can involve costs for services as well as additional computing power during the upgrade.
Mobility is another huge trend. Now, vendors must optimize their applications to run on mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones, Android smartphones and tablets. The objective is to be able to perform most, if not all, functions on a mobile device — whether it be entering or approving a quote or viewing the sales funnel.
Social networking continues to rock the computing world, with more than a billion users on Facebook, 500 million on Twitter and 250 million on LinkedIn. These users provide information about themselves when they sign up and when they comment or express their likes and dislikes. Now CRM vendors see this data as marketing gold and are building tools to exploit it.
One approach is to emulate a Facebook environment within CRM whereby you are notified of products, brands or competitors that are important to an organization. You could also track the number and quality (positive or negative) of posts. Microsoft calls it "social listening." You might call it spying.
We also asked Microsoft and Salesforce about their unique features and/or differentiators. Microsoft spoke about its analytic functionality and its integration with Outlook, Lync and SharePoint. Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows a user to work in a browser or in Outlook, which is a compelling approach for anyone already spending a lot of their day in Outlook. We also asked about the delay in providing integration with Microsoft's ERP systems. The answer was that there were higher priorities in responding to today's big trends.
Salesforce sees its differentiators in its true cloud offering as well as its AppExchange, which includes 2,000 applications built with Salesforce tools. AppExchange includes tools for analytics, electronic signatures and full-blown applications such as FinancialForce, which is an accounting/ERP system. Salesforce has now taken an industry-specific approach and will focus on a number of industries. As part of the new strategy, the company will recruit industry experts who then serve as ambassadors for the product. This strategy has worked well in ERP and we expect the same to occur with CRM
Although Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics CRM are very popular, they are not the only game in town. Some organizations have ERP solutions that include an embedded CRM system. Other organizations are working with older applications that still work. Still others are looking for less expensive alternatives. Some vendors such as Insightly offer a free version until a certain number of users or records are reached. And finally there are CRM systems that have been designed for a specific industry. Since just about every organization — from corner groceries to the federal government — requires CRM, there is no shortage of software vendors in the marketplace, often with competitive pricing to offer.

Huatoki Plaza was a retail building that was removed to expose the covered stream beneath it. New Plymouth made a reasonably boring urban space for people to ignore. One day, an artist put up a paste-up image of a face to try to make it better. It probably did because these days, the Plaza has several artists' work on various buildings that face it. I've sketched one of the buildings a few times and currently has artwork by Phil 'Suspect' Jones. His studio is actually in the Plaza and his murals are all around town.

Xbox Live comes to Nintendo, iOS, and Android
You're reading that correctly. Xbox Live services are coming to Nintendo and phones. Microsoft announced that they will release their own SDK (Standard Dev Kit) that will allow game developers to integrate Xbox Live into any titles that run across PC, Xbox, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch. It will be fully announced during GDC (Games Developer Con) in March 22nd.
What will this do?
Xbox Live will provide achievements, friends list and Xbox Live functionality to existing mobile video games. Microsoft has been trying to reach out to a broader audience outside of PC and Xbox Users. Last year they announced their CloudX services that will provide will stream Xbox games to PCs, consoles, and mobile devices later this year.
It's clear that Microsoft is moving toward a subscription-based service. They are one of the biggest revenue generating services in the industry (think Amazon Prime and Netflix). While Xbox has been losing in the exclusive game markets, perhaps this will be their new competitive advantage. The mobile gaming market makes over $1 billion in comparison to the hundreds of millions in consoles.

First significant Dysprosium producer outside of China to open plant on Friday
Oz Financial | July 25, 2018 | 12:05 pm Battery Metals Australia Rare Earth
Australian explorer Northern Minerals (ASX: NTU) is set to officially open their Pilot Plant on July 27 which marks a significant milestone in the Company's goal of becoming the most significant producer of Dysprosium outside of China.
The Pilot Plant is the first of three stages within Northern's Browns Range Project, located 160km southeast of Halls Gap in Western Australia, which will produce rare earth carbonates – a specific group of metals used in a variety of clean energy products.
Northern Minerals anticipates the first shipment of rare earth carbonate to depart the site in the September quarter.
Most notable of the rare earths is the little known mineral Dysprosium, a fundamental ingredient for the magnets used in electric vehicle batteries.
At a time when electric vehicle production is rapidly increasing, the opening of Northern's Pilot Plant comes when Dysprosium producers in China hold a monopoly over the market, creating 99% of global supply.
Making the opening of Northern's Pilot Plant even more significant is the position President Trump holds in regard to Chinese products. With the United States being one of the world's largest car manufacturers, the threat of further U.S. tariffs on Chinese products appears highly favourable for Northern Minerals.
Although the official launch of the Pilot Plant is scheduled for July 27, and will be attended by the Hon. Alannah MacTiernan MLC, crushing of ore has already commenced with the on-site laboratory producing the site's first rare earth carbonate last week.
With ore processing underway, Northern Minerals now turns their attention to the next stage of the project – R&D work to assess the technical and economic feasibility of the full scale plant, capable of producing 10 times the amount of rare earth carbonate as the Pilot Plant.
As the world scrambles for clean energy solutions, Dysprosium and electric vehicles will be crucial to meeting emission targets and the official opening of Northern Minerals' Pilot Plant on July 27 will be a big step towards a clean future not reliant on product supply from China.

Life Lessons From Linda Ronstadt's Git Picker
Sometimes I paint myself into a corner and attempt to get out. Learned this trick from Linda Ronstadt's lead guitar player (1974, Red Rooster Bar, Tucson). This morning I whipped this study out before I came into work:
I was intending to put in a traditional rider, Mickey Free, or a trio of Rurales, but I remembered the git picker from the Red Rooster. Grabbed an art book, "Ed Borein: Cowboy Artist" and turned to page 88. At the top of the page is a line drawing by Mr. Borein for a 1916 rodeo (The Stampede: Sheepshead Bay Speedway, New York City). Amongst a trio of trick riders is a cowgirl standing in the saddle with a pistol and what appears to be a glass of liquid. Hmmmmmmm. So I did my version of this bizarre scene, changing it, of course. My first reaction was to call it "What the Hell?" but then, on closer inspection, I realized it was "Cowgirl Rides Into Hell With A Glass of Champagne and a Pistol".
Back to the Red Rooster Bar on the Nogales Highway. I was playing drums in this country band for extra money ($30 a night) and the lead guitar player was a very shy guy who was previously in the Stone Ponys, Linda Ronstadt's Tucson band. They went to LA together as a couple. As you may know she soon moved on to bigger things and he came home and picked around town. He played the weirdest lead breaks of any country guitar player I have ever played with. During a break I asked him how he came to play like that and he shrugged and said, and I quote, "I simply play myself into a corner and try to get out."
I never forgot that way of looking at things and have even applied it to my art and my business. Here is my distilled version of this invaluable lesson:
"Jump off a cliff and figure it out on the way down."

In 2014 he published a visual memoir of growing up on Route 66 called "The 66 Kid," and he is currently working on a bio of Geronimo. As for retirement, BBB says, "Work is only work if you'd rather be someplace else. And I'm exactly where I want to be."

This Vynl. duo probably won't be winning any beauty prizes. Or popularity contests, for that matter. But to the diehard Star Wars fan, this Tatooine crime lord and his pet Kowakian monkey-lizard jester represent classic moments in Star Wars lore, and for that they deserve space on your shelf.

The Obama Phenomenon
Posted by By Akogun Akomolafe at 13 March, at 18 : 00 PM Print
"It might sometime be necessary to cut off the hand that feeds you, if it stops you from feeding yourself." – Malcom X.
Various terms, including phenomenon (Something notable: something that is out of the ordinary and excites people's interest and curiosity), have been used to describe the rise of Senator Barack Obama's to one of two of the leading Presidential Candidates in the Democratic Party's race to the White House. Born of a White American mother and a Kenyan father, Mr. Osama has always been referred to as 'Black.' It says a lot about the confounding racial algebra in America that he's considered Black as though his white mother does not count.
Of course, like every African, I am excited by the prospect of a black person occupying the White House. And like every human being, I also wish to see a change in the governance of the USA; a country that has all the potential to make the difference in the world but has, consistently, choose to promote evil over good.
But I caution here that we in Africa should not be too overjoyed or over enthused by a Barack Obama's presidency. Yours truly studied political science and international relations at a campus of an American university in the Dutch city of Leiden. So, I should know a thing or two about the vast and mostly incomprehensible structures of the machinery that control the governance of the United States.
It's important for us in Africa to bear some essential facts in mind, so that we do not raise our expectations of an Obama's presidency to too high unrealistic proportions, lest we be sorely disappointed.
First of all, Mr. Obama, if (and God help him) elected, is not going to be a BLACK president. And he's certainly not going to be an AFRICAN president. He's going to be the president of the United States of America, elected by a ponderous electoral system, and beholding to the power movers of the United States of America.
Lesson to learn: Toni Morrison praised Bill Clinton to high heavens and she promoted him as the 'first black president.' We all witness how, when the chips are down, Bill Clinton revealed himself as a full blown racist like the rest of White America.
American political system is a study in daunting complexity. The US President is not as, is widely believe, a very powerful person. Mind you, the US Presidency is certainly a very powerful institution and there is always a majestic aura surrounding whoever occupies the Oval office. But to fully decode the American presidential institution, one has to go Rumsfeldian: There are the known knowns; there are the known unknowns and then there are the unknown unknowns. Try to figure that out.
Queen Elizabeth of England told her butler after the mysterious death of Princess Diana that: "There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge." There are certainly forces operating in the USA that ensures that no one just happen to become the President of the USA.
But first, if as every Civics book defines it, 'Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people,' then very clearly the USA cannot by any stretch of the imagination be described as a democracy. Kwame Nkrumah's definition of democracy as a 'competition between oligarchies,' is more appropriate. To begin with, the USA operates an incomprehensible electoral system whereby the winner of the popular vote does not necessary win the elections, ah! The recent examples are 2004 elections whereby Al Gore won the popular votes but complex electoral shenanigans ensure that the scion of the Bush dynasty becomes the president, to the utter regret of all. Again, although Senator Hilary Clinton recently won the popular vote in the Texas primary, Senator Obama ended up garnering the majority of the delegate. Go and figure that out.
There are certainly powerful forces in the USA that are the real movers and shapers of US policies. Among the prominent are the Bilderberg, The Bohemian Grove, The Round Table, the Skull and Bones, the Council of Foreign Relations. The most important captains of industries, bureaucracy, military and unions belong to these groups which meet regularly and determine the strategic thrust of the country. It has been noted no one has been elected to the US presidency without belonging to one or more of these groups. Some of them belong to one or more of these secret societies.
These groups are the think tanks where American foreign and domestic policies are crafted. The goal of these groups, however disparate they might look, is to maintain the American Empire and to ensure the maintenance of America's global power and hegemony.
It was an American President who said that the business of government is business and he wasn't even been cynical. He was just telling the plain truth as it were. It was Ralph Nader who lamented that the American political machinery has been hijacked by corporate interests. He coined the term 'Corpocracy.' It was the influence that corporate America wields on the American political system that led President Roosevelt to denounce what he termed: "The Military-Industrial-Complex."
The tentacles of American corporations traverse the globe and their central goal is to ensure that the USA remains numero uno in the world. The primary business of any US government is to ensure that US corporations' interests are well served by lending diplomatic and military muscles whenever and wherever it is required. We have to quote General Smedley Butler's immortal words here: "It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."
General Butler apparently didn't mention Africa because our motherland was been raped by the British then.
The primary question is: to what do we attribute our continual infatuation with the West and its institutions? Why are we still being fascinated by a people and a system that has continually short-changed us? Is it colonial mentality or a sense of inferiority complex? Or shall we say that slavery and colonialism have combined to cripple our senses to cause a collective amnesia?
Even the most cursory glance at history tells us that since the West was able to navigate out its waters and came to our shore; its relationship with us has been one of ruthless exploitation. The West at the beginning used to trade with us, but it came back to take advantage of our internal strives to enslave millions of our folks. When slavery became too odious, Western leaders sat in Berlin in 1884 to sunder our motherland and carved it up among themselves. We did not take possession of the last bastion of our land until apartheid was overthrown in 1994. We have taken physical control of our land, but we still remain firmly tied to the Western economic apron string. The West simply move the goal-post; changing colonialism to neo-colonialism which, in turn, has metamorphosed into globalization (or would anyone tell me what Africa is contributing to the so-called 'Globalization?')
If we are capable of reading and doing a bit of research and analysis, it should be clear to us that the West has lost it. And given the deep financial and economic crises gripping the West, there is no reason whatever for us to entertain the illusions that our salvation is coming from the Western Man. The American national, corporate and personal debt is gargantuan. Its housing and financial sectors are in huge disarray. It is a country that's surreptitiously defaulting on its debt by letting its currency sink. To all intent and purposes it's a nation bristling with military toys and very little else. Over a million of its citizens are in jail, and all it has done is to sap its energies on wars that only benefit the munitions industries. A large number of Americans are living very rough yet their leaders continue to blow $12 billion every month on wars!
The job of whoever wins the US presidency is to bring some sort of sanity into the American system which seems to have lost its guidance system. The next US president, whoever it turns out to be, will be too preoccupied with remedying the huge mess Mr. Bush is leaving behind, to have little or no time for Africa – except to ensure that the resources Western corporations are raping from Africa keep flowing smoothly, that is.
No, it is not going to be hallelujah time for us in Africa IF Senator barrack Obama wins the 2007 Presidential elections. And it shouldn't be. For the umpteenth time, I repeat here that Africa's salvation should and will come from Africans. No nation has been developed by foreigners and Africa is not going to be the exception. We should remove the blinders from our eyes and start the journey of learning how to stand on our own feet.

David Bramwell is a name familiar to many Revivalists, his Singalong-A-Wicker Man show has become almost legendary in our little corner of the internet. David is an incredibly busy and talented man. He has produced programmes for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, he gives talks and performs one man shows on a variety of fascinating topics from tricksters to ghost villages. He also co-hosts the Odditorium, a rather splendid podcast based around the book of the same name, one of several that he has co-written with Jo Tinsley (formerly Keeling). We could go on, David's achievements are many and varied, but they are always interesting and always done with an incredible sense of joy. His latest one man show The Cult of Water opens at the Soho Theatre in London on the 28th January, and I was lucky enough to catch up with David for a chat about this new show and a few other interesting titbits Revivalists may enjoy.
FHR: Hi David, can you tell us a little bit about your new show, The Cult of Water? Would it be fair to describe it as a psychogeographical journey around the waterways of the Yorkshire of your youth, or is that perhaps a little too simplistic a reading of it?
David: That's a pretty good summary. I grew up in Doncaster. It's a personal journey up the river Don – told through story, music and and archive film – in search of the supernatural secrets of our inland waterways and to uncover a mystery concerning the drowned village at Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire. It's also a journey back through time to the source of the Don and an age of water worship; the Don originally took its name from the water goddess, Danu.
Along the way I learn about hydromancy from magician Alan Moore, encounter Jarvis Cocker on his own adventures sailing down the Don on an inflatable inner tube, and come face to face with 'the spirit of dark and lonely water' from the old public information film of the 70s.
I also uncover the story of artist Mark Golding who, with the help of LSD, unearthed a sacred spring in Hastings – believed to have been frequented by Aleister Crowley – and whose waters saved his son from a terminal lung disease.
At the heart of The Cult of Water is an exploration of the symbolism around water, its association with feminine power and the profound ways in which the elements affect our psyche.
FHR: I believe you're being joined in the show by folklorist Chris Roberts who is going to discuss the lost rivers of London? This sounds like a fascinating talk in its own right. What can you tell our readers about Chris and his work?
David: Chris is a South London based tour guide, author and expert on many aspects of London folklore and history. Most of his walks are river focused, whether Thames or other, and all of them are rich with legends of the city. He's written a book (Cross River Traffic) on the history of London' Bridges and articles on the lost gods of the river as well as delivering talks on the folktales associated with London's water from feral swine in the Fleet to sacred wells to Saxon goddesses and the ongoing religious rites on the Thames from the Jewish, Pagan, Christian and Hindu traditions. He was folklore consultant for Stella Duffy's theatrical piece Taniwha Thames in which a New Zealand river spirit follows a ship back to London and takes up residency under Waterloo Bridge.
In 2007 Chris founded the magazine One Eyed Grey, which took many of London's old myths and legends – such as the legendary shape shifting sorceress of the sewers and hidden rivers Queen Rat – and re-imagined them in a modern context. It culminated for the two of us in a collaboration for Radio 4, a programme called London Nights, in which Chris did the heavy lifting in actually writing the stories while I read them out in my best Martin Jarvis. These stories featured a ghost boat on the Thames and a mermaid at Brockwell Park Lido. Brockwell lido is sort of Chris's unofficial office, all year round. He's a water baby. And made of hardier stuff than me.
FHR: Can I ask what inspired you to write this show now? Is this something that has been on your mind for some time or was it triggered by recent events in your life?
David: I've wrestled all my life with thalassophobia – the fear of large bodies of water – and wanted to confront this fear. In the last ten years I went down a rabbit hole researching water cults, sacred springs and wells. I wanted to pay my respect to water. I also became interested in the idea of following a river back to its source. I knew if I was going to make this journey as a pilgrimage it'd have to be along the river Don where I grew up, to search for its lost water goddess and to trace its biological and metaphorical death and resurrection over the millennia. When I discovered that Sheffield adopted Vulcan – the Roman god of fire and forge – as its mascot in the 1800s, the story began to catalyse as a mythic battle of the sexes: goddess of water vs god of fire. During the industrial revolution Danu was the equivalent of a princess locked in a tower and being force-fed MacDonalds for 200 years.
I also wanted to draw on my experiences of being haunted by the image of the drowned church of Ladybower Reservoir poking through the waters during the drought and ladybird plague of 1976. This led to a deeper exploration of the symbolism of stone and water, lines and circles, male and female, the line and circle and finally binary code. I figured if I tell this story and make amends for Vulcan then thalassophobia might loosen its grip. (It has).
In terms of how I wanted to tell the story, Alan Moore's live spoken performances with music – Snakes and Ladders, The Birth Caul and Highbury Working – were a big influence. When he agreed to provide his voice for some of the Cult of Water I was over the moon. The central premise of his novel Jerusalem seems to be that in staying put anywhere (in his case Northampton) and digging deep enough, all the meaning and myths are there, as long as you know how and where to look. It's the same with Alan Garner remaining in Alderely Edge for sixty-odd years and mining a different kind of landscape for stories. If Moore could rewrite Northampton as Jerusalem I figured it was time to try my hand at doing that with my old home town of Doncaster.
FHR: I believe the show is directed by Daisy Campbell, the daughter of theatre legend Ken Campbell. Have you known each other for some time, or did you specifically come together with this project in mind?
David: My first solo show, The Haunted Moustache, which delved into magic, spiritualism and the occult, was created with Ken Campbell's help. I got to know Daisy because of Ken. She's been a friend for many years. We're currently collaborating on a podcast series, making her dad's vast archive of recorded one-man shows available for the first time. Being a seeker, Daisy was the obvious choice for directing this show.
FHR: I believe you have worked on a number of broadcasts for both BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4 including a programme about the legendary Ivor Cutler. Can you tell us about any amusing encounters you may have had with him?
David: In the mid-90s I sent some scribblings to the poet Ian MacMillan who, at the time, had a slot on the Mark and Lard show on BBC Radio One. Ian seemed to like my poems so I sent a bunch to my hero Ivor Cutler. Cutler was less than enthusiastic and suggested I do something useful with my life instead, such as 'becoming a teacher or a botanist'. He was right of course, my poetry was awful. But it's hard getting a rejection letter from your hero.
20 years on I'd started presenting programmes for Radio 4 and got a call from a producer saying that she was considering me as presenter for an Archive Hour on Ivor Cutler and offered me a minute on the phone to 'sell myself'. I thought for a moment then remembered the rejection letter from Ivor. 'Do you still have it?' she asked. 'I dug it out, read it to her and got the job. So thanks inadvertently to Ivor, I got to make a documentary about him, meet his friends and family and even perform live on one of his harmoniums. If Ivor had still been alive to hear the programme I'm sure I'd have received another rejection letter.
FHR: Many of us know you from your rather wonderful and always well received Singalong-A-Wickerman show. What have been the strangest things to have happened during the various performances of this show? Do you think you were able to invoke something of the ritual spirit that infused the original film?
David: Things got strange when, ten years ago, the director Robin Hardy started showing up at our gigs, sometimes with wife and family in tow. I never imagined I'd be leading the director of the Wicker Man in the actions to the Maypole Dance. It was delight to have Robin's support for the show but it was always a bit odd him being there; we do at times, gently take the piss out of some of the clunky dialogue in the film. The relationship culminated in us us doing the show with Robin in the Elengowan Hotel in Dumfries and Galloway, which is where all the original bar scenes were shot.
Over the years we've also had several individuals overcome with the desire to re-enact the naked scenes from Willow's Song on stage with us. It's always men. And someone in Belfast once threatened to shoot me for blasphemy. My blood turned cold when he whispered into my ear: 'I've killed before and I''d kill again.' I believed him.
FHR: Beyond adapting The Wicker Man as a sing-a-long. Can I ask you about how the ideas of Folk Horror have influenced your work in general? Are there specific artists, film makers and writers whose work has particularly been influential to you or do you draw more inspiration from the countryside around you?
David: Folk Horror has been, and continues to be, a huge inspiration. Like many of a certain age I really was scarred for life by the spirit of dark and lonely water and haunted by TV programmes like Children of the Stones. I love the unsettled atmosphere of Garner's work and films like The Shout, Penda's Fen. And of course The Wicker Man, despite having watched it now over 100 times. More recently the work of Peter Strickland and films like November show the genre is evolving.
There's a line by Alan Moore that I've used in The Cult of Water and also in a track by my band Oddfellow's Casino: we have wandered too far from some ancient totem. Something central to us that we have misplaced and must find our way back to, following a hair of meaning.' For me, Folk Horror re-connects us to an age of magic, when everything was imbued with meaning. For me at least, the dark heart of Folk Horror beats strongly in The Cult of Water.

Noh is an intimate form of Japanese traditional theatre that dates back to at least the 14th Century. Though generally light on props, Noh does however utilise masks to a large degree. As many Noh stories deal with supernatural themes, Kishin (demon) and Onryō (ghost) masks are prevalent.
The Hannya mask above represents a woman who turned into a demon. It is a familiar mask to those who have seen Kaneto Shindo's classic 1964 film Onibaba.
This mask ^ is representative of Hashihime, a woman who fearing she had been abandoned by her lover drowned herself and became a jealous and dangerous spirit.
Namanari is a creature midway between human and demon. Their corrupting element may be a desire for sexual revenge.
Kitsune are trickster fox spirits that can transform into human form. Though in Japanese lore some foxes were sly goblin figures, others were the messangers of the Shinto spirit Inari.
The Ushi-Oni or Gyūki are bovine like demons that although are sometimes said to attack people are represented as protective spirits at the Uwajima summer festival.
Tengu are part bird-part human. They generally dwell in mountainous or forested regions where they may be considered protective spirits, but in some lore they are considered warlike beings.
The name Daikijin literally translates as Great Devil God but they may be utilised at village ceremonies as protector spirits.

Join Folk Horror enthusiast, Carrie Marx, as she conducts a personal investigation into the cracks in our collective memory. Beginning with a study of British television classics such as 'Children of the Stones', 'The Owl Service', and 'Doctor Who', Marx leaves no stone unturned as she unearths a terrifying mystery, buried in our cultural past.
When we questioned Chris about their approach to this production his reply will no doubt sound like a folk horror revivalist idea of heaven – but I imagine the fact that a self-written, acted and produced piece of theatre is the desired end result will have added many stresses and worries to this otherwise wonderful sounding use of one's time….
"We were already fans of a lot of Folk Horror films (and I had watched all of Doctor Who, apart from those elusive missing 97 episodes…) but it was only since attending the British Museum Folk Horror Revival event in 2016 that we started specifically delving into the television of that era. We adore all of Nigel Kneale's work, and spent a good chunk of Christmas holed up watching MR James adaptations.

THE TRIANGLE OF ART: This symbol represents the protected space outside the magic circle, into which spirits are compelled to appear in Solomonic ritual magic. Its function is to concentrate the spirit being invoked into one space so that it can be seen visibly. The purpose of the triangle is to keep the manifested entity contained.

In 2005, we were accepted into the Environmental Qualities Incentives Program (EQIP). This federal program provides cost-share incentives on fencing, watering systems and pasture improvement provided you follow their standards. Please contact your local NRCS office for more information.
We have three acres of warm-season grasses along our creek to provide summer grazing for the goats. We use portable electric netting to graze this area (instead of permanent fencing), so for the majority of the year, it is undisturbed for wildlife use.
In 2005, we installed a one acre Shallow Water Area, also known as an ephemeral wetland. Since its creation, we have attracted numerous bird species, including Blue-Winged Teals, Soras, Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets and migrating shorebirds.
We have created a bluebird trail and are hoping to attract Purple Martins to a new martin house.

I'm not understanding why SHOULD is appropriate. When would a producer not ensure a proper mapping?
not part of the 5070bis document.
None of these comments are highly important, and none are meant to block the document.  Please consider these and discuss them with me if you think it's appropriate... but I'll leave it to the authors/shepherd/working group/AD to decide whether to make any changes.  Thanks.
I'm not happy with the 2119 "SHOULD"s in the Security Considerations.  None of them appear to be protocol-related: they're all sound advice, and such advice should definitely be given, but it would fit better with both 2119 and reasonable understanding if these were just put in terms of sage advice with reasons and consequences given (which you are giving; thanks).
In particular, "producers ... SHOULD be careful to ensure ..." is certainly not in compliance with 2119; I'd say "It is very important that producers of IODEF [IODEF] content ensure a proper mapping...."
I'm not sure what "SHOULD be preferred" even means, so I think fixing this one is important.  If what you mean is that if <some entity> is receiving enumeration reference IDs and has a choice between a trusted source and an untrusted one, it should use the trusted source, then please say it that way, and don't use passive voice.
Similarly, "trust SHOULD extend from... to...": this would be far better if we got rid of the passive voice and said that it's highly recommended that <entity> use third parties for which there is a trust relationship <that meets these criteria>.
I note that you have ABNF grammar to define "abbreviation", and presume that grammar is for the designated expert's use, and not really aimed at IANA.  That's fine (just see below).
It might be good, I think, to have ABNF here as well, also for the designated expert... lest some DE in the future wonder which characters are part of "the printable ASCII character set" and which are "white space".
Thank you for giving good instructions to the DE; that's important.
I would lost the "MUST", and just say that the designated expert will review any specification that is associated with the request.  Again, this isn't a protocol interop issue, which is what 2119 language is generally for.
I see that it's analogous to similar statements in RFC 5070, but it would be nice if you wrote it out less tersely.   As written it looks like a mistake--like something got left out when the document was rendered.
