Despite being one of the poorest performing markets in the region, Sri Lanka's stock market which has been in the doldrums has attracted a lot of foreign buying interest since of late.
This heavy investor participation stems mainly from the rate increase in the US bond market. While the rates going up is seeing foreign funds shifting back to the US from frontier markets such as Sri Lanka, a small component of their corresponding funds which invest in stock markets are being ploughed into the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), analysts say.
There has been continuous foreign selling in local bonds and as at January 1, 2017 it was US$ 2 million. The new regime under Donald Trump is trying to strengthen the US Dollar and luring back funds to the US.
Atchuthan Srirangan, Senior Research Analyst First Capital Equities noted that on the back of all this, this month's foreign inflow at CSE was Rs. 600 million as at February 8. Mr. Srirangan said that in the year to date the total foreign participation so far is more than 50 per cent of CSE's turnover, while for the same period last year it's 38 per cent.
But why put cash in the CSE?
That's due to most shares at the CSE trading at 4x their price to Earnings Ratio (PER) which has made these bargain counters for foreign investors. Foreign fund managers say that CSE is a good investment this year owing to superior earnings projections, low valuations and the potential for better earnings.
From January 1 to 8 February, foreigners bought Rs. 7.67 billion and sold Rs. 8.63 billion. While the net outflow is Rs. 1.026 billion, analysts note that some foreign selling was done to foreigners themselves.
Analysts say that a considerable foreign play was done by Norway's $830 billion sovereign wealth fund, locally managed by Lynear Wealth Management. The fund has been increasing its focus on emerging countries but only has about 4 per cent of its assets managed externally. Negotiated deals were recorded in many counters early this month – mostly blue chips and mid-caps bought by foreign funds — Hatton National Bank (0.7 million shares at Rs. 227) and Commercial Bank (0.2 million shares at RS. 145). The aggregate value of crossings accounted for 45 per cent of the turnover. Subsequent to its scrip dividend announcement, Sampath Bank attracted high investor preference where stock price increased to Rs. 267 up by 0.8 per cent.
On February 2, foreign investors stood on the 'buy' side with a net foreign inflow of Rs. 90 million. Net foreign inflows were seen in Commercial Bank at Rs. 29 million, Sampath at Rs. 29 million, Melstacorp at Rs. 17 million while net foreign outflows was mainly seen in Seylan Bank (Rs. 5 million). Foreign participation was 66 per cent.
Hemas Holdings saw 2.8 million shares crossed at Rs. 104 on February 2. Its main buyer in 3Q17 was Morgan Stanley and Co: International PLC. But Franklin Templeton Investment Funds had reduced its position in Hemas during the same period.
Overseas Realty Rights Issue saw a 24 per cent acquisition by Jilansu Tao Shing Pee Education Foundation on February 3. Foreign investors were net buyers with a new foreign inflow of Rs. 27 million on this day and net foreign inflows were mainly seen in Sampath Bank Rs. 35 million, Melstacorp Rs. 13 million and Tokyo Cement non-voting Rs. 12 million. That following Monday foreign investor activity accounted for 47 per cent of the turnover.
The day after foreign investors stood on the 'buy' side with a net foreign inflow of Rs. 111 million. Net foreign inflows were seen in John Keells Holdings (JKH) Rs. 51 million, Hemas Holdings Rs. 30 million, and Nestle Rs. 28 million while net foreign outflow was mainly seen in National Development Bank Rs. 4 million. Foreign participation was 52 per cent that day. On February 8 foreign investors were net buyers with a net foreign inflow of Rs. 152 million. Net foreign inflows were seen in JKH (Rs. 103 million), Sampath Bank (Rs. 49 million) and Melstacorp (Rs. 10 million). Net foreign outflow was mainly seen in Hatton National Bank (Rs. 17 million). Foreign participation was 33 per cent.
On February 13, foreign investors were net buyers with a net foreign inflow of Rs. 333.33 million foreign participation was 61 per cent. Let's hope this trend co continues.

Q: How a header file knows where the implementation of a function prototype is? I have the following files:
main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "my_math.h"

int main()
{
    int a = 10, b = 5;
    add(a, b);
    return 0;
}

my_math.h
int add(int a, int b);

my_math.c
#include "my_math.h"
int add(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

I know that using #include "my_math.h" copies the content of my_math.h file within the file where it is called. However, how does main.c file where the implementation of add() function is?
At the beginning I thought that my_math.h and my_math.c should match the name, but not the extension, but I have changed the name from my_math.c to my_matho.c and everything is working as previously, so how the heck C know where the implementation of the function is?
I am using the following command to compile:
gcc -g -O0 -Wall main.c my_math.c -o main

One more question is it the same the previous command than:
gcc -g -O0 -Wall my_math.c main.c -o main

so it means that the order in which I indicate the files to be compiled does not matter?

A: There are two different stages, compilation and linking.

*

*During compilation, compiler only needs to know the prototype of the function.

*During linking, the object files are actually linked together.

So, during compilation, the where part is not required. However, while linking, the function should be present in one of the object files which are being linked together.
To elaborate, that is why we see that, even with a missing header file (forward declaration of a function) but with all required object files, the compilation and linking can happen (with warnings, obviously) (and linker can actually find and link the required function implementation), but even if with the proper header file, if you don't supply the required object file which contains the actual definition, the linker will scream at you throw error.

A: The compiler does not know. The linker does.
Each source file is compiled to a object file:
main.c becomes main.o and my_math.c becomes my_math.o - for example.
When compiling main.c The function prototype in my_math.h, tells the compiler that there will be a function int add(int a, int b); which it can call but it has no extra knowledge about this function.
When the linker links main.o and my_math.o into the executable it performs the necessary relocation.

Life has no meaning without liberty says Indian official who quit on the Kashmir issue
Home Human Rights
in Human Rights, India, Politics
New Delhi, August 28 (India Today/The Hindu): Former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Kannan Gopinathan on Tuesday rejected the Central government's claim that the ongoing clampdown in Kashmir is meant to prevent deaths due to violent reprisals, saying that life holds no meaning to a human being without the right to liberty.
"Life and liberty go together, and that's the beauty of a constitutional democracy. If they say that they will put you in jail to save your life, would that be acceptable to you? You can argue something like that for a certain period, yes, but this has been going on for three weeks now," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
The 33-year-old bureaucrat had quit the administrative service on August 21 to protest what he claimed was the denial of fundamental rights to lakhs of people in Jammu and Kashmir. "It's not like my resignation will cause even a flutter, but one has one's own conscience to answer to," he had said then.
Jammu and Kashmir was placed under lockdown as a "precautionary measure" earlier this month, when the centre took the surprise step of scrapping the state's special status under Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcating it into two distinct union territories. It also placed many of its political leaders, including another former IAS officer Shah Faesal, under arrest.
Mr Gopinathan said he empathised with the people of Jammu and Kashmir even though he was not personally affected by the government's clampdown. "Should something affect you personally for you to take a decision?" he asked. "My other question is: when freedom is being curtailed in your own country, when people aren't being allowed to express themselves freely, shouldn't it affect you?"
The former IAS officer said that while taking a decision like revoking Jammu and Kashmir's statehood was the government's legitimate right, people should also have the right to react in a democracy. "The government takes a decision and then shuts down the reaction to that decision, saying that it could be violent… it's an argument that can be used anywhere," he added.
Gopinathan said journalists should have played a more proactive role in denouncing the Kashmir shutdown. "The media, which is supposed to advocate liberty and freedom of speech, should have said that they must be allowed to speak freely. Whether the government listens to the media is a different matter altogether," he added.
Gopinathan did not elaborate on whether he would follow Shah Faesal's example and join politics. "Now that I have quit the service, I would like to earn a livelihood by connecting with the public in whichever small way. If I can do that by working at the grassroots level, it would be good. I have not thought beyond that," he said.
Kannan Gopinathan from the AGMUT cadre, who came into the limelight for his anonymous participation in the flood relief efforts in Keralalast year, has resigned from service. The officer, who has been serving as the secretary of the power, urban development and town and country planning departments of the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli sent his resignation to the Union Home Secretary on August 21
Speaking toThe Hindu, Mr.Gopinathan who joined the service in 2012, said that he has taken the decision because he wants his freedom of expression back.
"Over the past few days, I have been really perturbed by what is happening in the country, wherein a large section of our population have had their fundamental rights suspended. There has been a lack of response to it. We seem to be perfectly fine with it. I also see in some small ways how I am also a part of it. I think if I had a newspaper, the only thing I would be printing on the front page would be '19' on the front page, because today is the nineteenth day," he says.
He hinted at how there has been no response even from within the service to the detaining offormer civil servant Shah Faesal, who was the first Kashmiri to secure first in the civil services examination.
"We got into the service thinking that we can provide voice to people, but then we ended up with our own voice being taken away from us. In a democracy, let's say Hong Kong or any other democracy, if the Government takes a decision, that is their right. But the response to that decision is the people's right. Here, we have taken a decision and then we have detained everybody. They are not even allowed to respond to that decision. That is dangerous," he says.
As for his future course of action, he still has not decided anything, as he is still awaiting for a response from the authorities to his resignation.
"I've not thought about it at all. I just know that this is not right and I dont want to be in it. That much I am sure of," says Mr.Gopinathan.
Hailing from Kottayam, he completed his schooling from Puthuppally, and later completed electrical engineering from the Birla Institute of Technology. During the unprecedented floods that hit Kerala in 2018, he actively participated in the relief efforts at Chengannur. He had kept his identity a secret until, a fellow officer identified him.

The New York Daily News doubled down on its war against the NRA Friday with a second straight hard-hitting cover on this week's shooting massacre in San Bernadino, California.
The tabloid newspaper's cover calls shooting suspect Syed Farook a "terrorist," but says so are four other alleged mass killers, all white men: Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, Robert Dear and James Holmes. The paper also applies the terrorist label to NRA leader Wayne LaPierre, crediting him will killing "countless" gun laws.
"Syed Farook joins long list of murderous psychos enabled by NRA's sick gun jihad against America in the name of profit," the paper's cover reads.
Investigators have said Farook appears to have been radicalized, but have not determined to what degree, and have not called the shooting terrorism.
The NRA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MSNBC on the Daily News cover.
Following Wednesday's massacre, which killed 14 people and injured over 20, President Obama called for stricter gun laws, but never mentioned the NRA by name. In response, Chris Cox, the executive director for the NRA, wrote an op-ed for USA Today on Thursday, in which he accused Obama of blaming gun violence on Cox's organization.
Friday's Daily News cover comes on the heels of a controversial front page on Thursday, which called out Republican politicians for offering "prayers" instead of policy in the wake of the San Bernadino tragedy. "As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes," the cover read.
"The Daily News' front page is not, in any way, shape or form, condemning prayer or religion. Anyone suggesting otherwise is either — intentionally or unintentionally — misconstruing the point, which is that most GOP politicians have offered nothing but empty platitudes and angry rhetoric in response to the ongoing plague of gun violence in our country," the paper's editor-in-chief Jim Rich said in a statement on Thursday.

Prostate Cancer Treatment In Delhi: Prostate cancer is considered as the most common cancer in men and is a common cause of death in many individuals. However, screening with Prostate Specific Antigen(PSA) test can reduce the number of deaths from prostate cancer. This is slow-growing cancer and many men do not benefit from the treatment as this causes long term side effects with urinary and sexual dysfunction. Hence screening should be properly done as per specific guidelines for early detection and diagnosis of cancer so that treatment can be effectively taken to eradicate from the beginning.
Age 45- Those at higher risk with one first-degree relative diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Age 40- Those at higher risk with more than one first-degree relatives diagnosed with this cancer.
Men who fall under the age category of 55 to 69 years PSA screening is done depending on their shared decision making of men considering the balance between risks and benefits. Routine screening of two years or more can be recommended.
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) These guidelines were updated in the year 2012, considering the patient's own preferences and values. Individuals are asked to make their own decisions before which should never be ordered.
European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) These guidelines recommend against population-based PSA screening for prostate cancer, as well as a screening of asymptomatic men over 70 years old.
Postpone follow-up to 8 years in those not at risk.

The Fox Sports/Westminster Kennel Club deal is a three year agreement, so expect to see agility on Fox Sports for 2015/16 as well!


After my blog post a few days ago 'the eight sins of beauty blogging' it seems a few people have become personally offended by what I wrote so I thought I'd just write a quick post to clear things up. It's a shame to see people have taken it the wrong way after I already wrote on the post to take it with a pinch of salt and that I certainly do not judge people on the way they write their blog. My aim behind writing the post was to give a light-hearted take on beauty blogging and to give people a bit of a laugh, and it's upsetting that as a result of this people have felt personally targeted and insecure enough to indirectly slate me as a person. As a blogger of three and a half years I have always seen a responsibility to not involve myself in bitchiness, in my mind there is never any gain from setting out to be judgemental about another person to hundreds of Twitter followers. However I also believe that being forthright with my opinions can sometimes get confused with bitchiness, I can assure you that really is not the case. If you want a real laugh then go back to the posts of when I first started my blog, I'm pretty sure I'd get the award for all of the eight sins of beauty blogging. Arm swatches, dodgy sponsored posts, bad manicures, the lot. Sue me! But hey, at least I can laugh at myself, unlike a few people it would seem.
Just thought I'd give my opinion - I didn't think the post was funny, maybe it was the style it was written, I don't know. I understand that you intended for the post to be light hearted and comical, it just didn't come across that way for me. I just think the blogging world needs less sarcasm and more support from each other. Not 'rules' on blogging, which contained some indirect digs at others.
Nothing against you, just my opinion on the blog post.
Not a problem. Sense of humour sometimes doesn't convey so well over blog posts and I totally understand if it's not to some people's tastes, but it's no justification for a personal attack on myself. Thanks for your opinion!
I thought your post was brilliant! Refreshing to read something that actually had a bit of personality behind it, and I didn't get offended even though I'm guilty of most of those sins haha! Don't listen to anyone else hun, would hate for your writing style to change because some people can't take a joke!
I'm confused for a few reasons, A)how you can mention your hate of indirect digs on twitter and then quite clearly be doing so in this post? Secondly, i understand you're standing by your word in your last post and obviously felt the need to justify yourself in this post, but how can you get annoyed at other voicing their opinion about not liking your post when all you were doing was voicing your opinion om what you class as the sins of blogging? There are no sins of blogging and I'm not surprised you upset people because there is enough people in this community who seem to think they have the authoirty to lay down the law. I also think you were incredibly insensitive to mention body hair, it's a touchy subject and some people can't help it.
I absolutely have no problem at all with people having an opinion on the post I wrote, it's when people take it upon themselves to judge me as a person on something I wrote in complete and utter jest that bothers me. I can't express enough how it was never my incentive for people to change how they blog, it really was just a joke.
For all people knew I could have been poking fun at myself in the blog post, who is to say that it's about anyone else? I believe it says a lot about a person whether they choose to be offended by something or see it as the joke that it is!
This isn't meant offensively but not everyone will be as confident as you, if people are a bit self conscious and have put themselves out there on the Internet, then read your last post they might get a bit upset? I'm very shy and can kind of see where people are coming from.
I've also just looked at the comments and tweets, I understand why you don't like bitchyness (no one does!!) but writing this post seems like you're doing it too? Why not talk to those who might not like it?
I've got quite a few posts up that I wrote to give newer bloggers confidence and some helpful tips they may find useful, it's a bit unsettling that a joke post gets all of the attention instead of the real posts that I wrote to help people out!
I thought that the post was funny! People do need to lighten up. Maybe the people who get offended do so because they commit these sins and they feel like you're singling THEM out. It's funny how these people are also commenting anonymously!
I didn't exactly find it funny, but it was a bit true, but they are things many of us do, I suppose it's just what you go through as a blogger and it's how you develop.
10th beauty sin - not having a sense of humour.
All the ones commenting negatively obviously are aware that it's a joke, therefore if they take offence, it's not you that's to blame.
It's like all those people do make up collections on YouTube that put disclaimers that 'in no way am I bragging or showing off'. You're just showing what most people in their blogs do. I read a lot of blogs and find that most blogs are 'guilty' of these sins, it in no way makes me think any less of them as a person, it's was just a joke. People that take offence need to lighten up and learn to laugh at themselves and others.
It's a shame because your other blog posts of how to start up a blog are fantastic and informative, but people like to criticise rather than praise unfortunately.
I understand people have a right to their own opinion, but as do you. You stated it was a joke and you are not directly faulting anyone.
You bring your own, fresh approach to the blogging world that doesn't just involve obsessing over the new Bioderma dupe or Zara bag... keep doing what you're doing because I enjoy these sorts of posts!
Shame sarcasm isn't well received these days, because it's my favourite type of humour!


I first flew to Tanzania where I was a volunteer in an orphanage with 23 kids ranging in age from 2 to 7 years old. These kids had either lost one or both parents to HIV, road accidents or other diseases, some lived in the area but with their grandparents and couldn't afford schooling and some of the kids had been abandon at the orphanage because they had HIV themselves. At the orphanage I would be greeted with little hugs and a good morning song. We would teach them simple Maths and English – letters and numbers, and then go outside to play where the boys played with a plastic bag with duct tape wrapped to make a ball and the girls would chase each other around and play with my hair until I had dreadlocks. It was sad to have to say goodbye to them when the time came to move on to the next project of my stay.
I then travelled to Johannesburg in South Africa to volunteer in an Animal Conservation for one week before returning home. The Conservation had a range of animals like lions, cheetahs, tigers, hyenas, elephants, horses, wild zebras, hippos and giraffes that would roam around the camp site. It was hard work. We would wake up before light and shovel elephant poo, clean out the horse stables, build fences and weed fields by hand – I was always sore dirty and had cuts bruises all over me. However it was so rewarding because the majority of these animals had been rescued from the black market, or movie sets that no longer needed the animals, or they had been mistreated at other farms.
During this time I also spent four days on a safari camping in the Serengeti National Park – this was a dream come true for me after watching the Lion King as a little girl way too many times. I got to see the Big 5 throughout the four days and seeing these animals in real life in the wild was absolutely amazing. Put this on your bucket list!
2. Was this your first time volunteering?
Yes, this was my first time volunteering, but definitely not my last. I absolutely loved my time in Africa and reflect on it most days. It was an experience of a lifetime and it really is a such a beautiful country.
3. Did the experience change your life? If so, in what way?
It was a physically and emotionally draining experience but it changed my life in more ways than one. While I was there to teach them, the kids at the orphanage actually taught me to be happy with the simplest things in life; that no matter how bad your day, week or year has been, it's all made better with a smile on your face and to show love unconditionally to everyone.
It challenged me to get outside of my comfort zone. I really had no choice but to embrace how the African people live every day of their lives. In the month that I was there I didn't have a hot shower once. I ate rice and beans most days and Wifi or TV access was every other day if at all because some days we wouldn't have power to have these luxuries.
It made me appreciate the life I have and how lucky I am; that I don't have to think twice about the water that I drink or the food that I eat. It made me have a very different outlook on the way that I go forward and live my life and not to take anything I have for granted.
4. Volunteering is a great way to do something good and see the world. Would you encourage others to do it?
Definitely. I would encourage anyone that wants to see the world – especially in a different light – and challenge themselves to get outside their comfort zone. It's not always easy but it is so rewarding.
5. If you could go anywhere in the world to volunteer, where would it be?
I would love to volunteer in South America or Bali and I will definitely be going back to Africa.

A cloud-based Print MIS software to calculate the exact cost of your custom print estimates and simplify your order management.
With the help of print company owners and managers, Ordant created a software solution that defines simplified commercial print estimating. Print shops have long been frustrated with unwieldy software that produces quotes that don't reflect the work and money required for a particular job.Managers of print shops told Ordant that employees were often forced to juggle several programs in order to analyze materials, costs, and labor involved in a prospective project. As digital and offset processes grew more sophisticated, quoting with accuracy became more difficult. So Ordant designed software that simplified commercial print estimating, yet included the wide-ranging functionality today's print businesses require. We create and install pricing formulas and modules specific to your print shop, then train your staff how to assemble detailed, precise estimates. In addition to commercial print estimating, Ordant's software also features chat support, the ability to proof print samples and generate purchase orders, integration with FedEx and QuickBooks, and a web2print interface for clients who want to place and track orders themselves. It's an all-in-one cloud-based solution that makes it possible to create and send quotes from a desktop, tablet, or laptop device.Schedule a live viewing of Ordant's demo and see how we simplified commercial print estimating.

François Bourgade  (born 7 July 1806 in Gaujan, died 21 May 1866 in Paris) was a French missionary and philosopher. He was one of the first French missionaries to Muslim North Africa, serving in present-day Algeria and Tunisia.

Bourgade pursued his theological studies at the seminary of Auch and was ordained priest in 1832. His immediate request to be authorized to work among the infidels of Africa was granted only in 1838. He proceeded to Algeria and, after ministering for some time in the hospitals of this colony, passed over to the regency of Tunis, where he founded a hospital and several schools. He was put in charge of the chapel which Louis Philippe (1830–1848) had erected on the spot where St. Louis died, and he received several decorations, among them the Legion of Honour. The chief object of his literary productions was to spread the knowledge of Christianity among the Mohammedans.

Shonen Knife
Mmaterial from the band's earliest releases to the edgier sound of today's Shonen Knife. Shonen Knife's latest album Adventure is available now on Good Charamel Records. ... …
Osaka's Shonen Knife (少年ナイフ) came back to the Turf Club in St Paul, playing their 1,156th show (according to their count) last Wednesday, October 19th. The number for the Turf Club is important because it was about two years ago that Shonen Knife played their 1,000th show at the very same venue.
Local trio The Toxenes (bassist / singer Ariel Dornbush, guitarist Monet Wong, drummer Madalyn) opened up the show. If the band looked familiar, that's because two of the band members are from the ashes of L'Assassins (the band that previously opened up for Shonen Knife last year).
Although their setlist shows 12 songs, it really didn't felt like they played that many. The songs are also short, punk-ish/rockabilly in nature.
Next up was Catbath, evolving to a four piece (Travis Franklin, Crystal Stockert, Kristin Kosieracki, and Matthew Grave) from their original duo-turned-trio. They've only recently added a second guitarist ("Gravey") to their roster in 2016.
For their preultimate song, Catbath decided to cover a Black Sabbath song 'Snowblind' as a request from Shonen Knife (who are, in fact, big metal fans).
In their 35 years as a band, we've never seen Shonen Knife with the two original Yamano sisters. That's because Atsuko Yamano retired from the band shortly after their drummer Mana Nishiura died in a car accident in 1999.
Although Atsuko would occasional join the band whenever they played in Los Angeles (where she's currently residing), she did not regularly partake as a full band member.
What made last week's Turf Club show so special is that Atsuko is currently Shone Knife's touring bassist.... and apparently the trio's current costume designer (that was her original role in the band when they started in 1981). I believe Atsuko's role in Shonen Knife may be temporary, as SK's current bassist, Ritsuko Taneda is on hiatus to raise her family.
As you can see from their setlist, it's written in Japanese. We've managed to translate the titles for you. Not listed on their setlist were the two encore songs, 'Banana Chips' and 'E.S.P.'
Many of the songs on their set are from older album, with the exception of a three-song Adventure block: starting with 'Jump into the New World', followed by 'Rock'n'roll T-Shirt' and ending with 'Green Tangerine'.
If there was one Shonen Knife tour you have to see, it's really this one. The group essentially is playing the band's entire career, from their earliest written songs to the new Adventure material. Plus, the fact that the two Yamano sisters are back together - that's certainly something to celebrate.
Adventure is out now on Good Charamel Records.

I love Shonen Knife. The Osaka band announced their new album Overdrive to come out April 16th, 2014, via Good Charamel Records (for North America). The American market will get a yellow cover version, while the UK …
CJ Ramone
I love We're pretty excited to find out that CJ Ramone (the Ramones bassist from 1989 to 1996) is coming to the Twin Cities this June 10th in support of his latest Last Chance to Dance …
L'Assassins
Opening up was L'Assassins, an-all-girl rock/punk-ish band who has a thing for black leather and faux leopard print. They played a lot of tracks, some from their recent 2013 album …
The CJ Ramone and Shonen Knife tour just came through the Twin Cities last Wednesday, June 10th, at the Amsterdam Bar and Hall in St Paul.
Opening up the show was local all-girls surf/garage band L'Assassins, using the Amsterdam drum kit, played a mix of tracks from their three EPs, including their recent Kill Kill Kill! Bang Bang Bang!, featuring the title track.
What's actually more interesting is that they announced they were playing on the same bill as The Pandoras (an all-girls band that broke up in 1990 and now featuring Muffs singer Kim Shattuck), taking place July 25 at Turf Club. We're big Muffs fan, so it might be worth it to check out the show.
I would say that the terrific turn out (a good mix of very young 14 year olds to very old middle age punkers) to Wednesday's show was incredibly good. About half the audience was there for CJ Ramone, but in addition many of them were also crossover fans. While some people may think this just merely a The Ramones cover band, I have to disagree and as one of the few surviving Ramones band member, you have to give him a free pass. Many of the younger fans in the crowd have never had a chance to see the legendary band, so seeing CJ Ramone perform some of these classic songs, it was the next best thing.
As you can see from his setlist, the first half of the set was devoted to original CJ Ramone materials and the second half of the set was a tribute to the Ramones. Obviously, the second half of the set was a blast to hear... especially with their dedicated painter, also bopping and painting along by the front of the stage.
Some interesting notes about CJ's set, apparently in the 12 years that he played with the band, they never once play love songs (CJ said that was because all their love songs were written by Joey about Johnny's wife). Now that he can play whatever song he wanted, he chose to play "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".
Highlight of their set was "Blitzkrieg Bop", which instantly got everyone moshing and slam dancing to the tune.
This is a great double bill for Shonen Knife, who sometime play as Ramones tribute band The Osaka Ramones. It's been a while since we as saw the band in 2009, but it would seem that they've reunited with original bassist Atsuko Yamano... who is temporary replacing Ritsuko Taneda on her maternity leave. This was a unique opportunity for non-Los Angeles fans to see Atsuko performing on bass for the first time in nearly a decade.
As you can see from their setlist, it was written in Japanese, making it a challenge to decipher what they played. I believe this is their correct set, based on my notes and with a help of friend.
Interestingly enough, only a few tracks from their latest Overdrive were played... and only in a block near the end of their set. The new songs were all inspired by 70s hard rock, according to singer Naoko Yamano.
In typical Shonen Knife fashion, the band is often doing synchronized guitar poses and often flashing the peace sign.
This is an excellent band pairing, check out the continuing tour, which is taking place tonight in Nashville.
Shonen Knife's latest Overdrive is out now on Good Charamel. CJ Ramone's Last Chance to Dance is also out now on Fat Wreck Chords.

Admittedly I have still yet haven't seen "The Runaways" movie, starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. I think what that movie brought to the general public is how insanely popular …
Cherie Currie is back in Minneapolis, this time playing to some very dedicated Runaways fans at the Belmore/New Skyway Lounge last night, August 11th.
Opening up was L'Assassins, an-all-girl rock/punk-ish band who has a thing for black leather and faux leopard print. They played a lot of tracks, some from their recent 2013 album Lovin' On The Run including "Be My Dog", "Creep", "Gun Chewing Dame", and the title track (funny enough it was abbreviated to LOTR on their setlist, which any true nerd will tell you that means "Lord of the Ring").
At first I thought they were basically female Ramones, but that's not all, as they proved with a very strong finish with a cover of my favorite Shangri-Las song "Simon Says". I've previously written that the song was the Shangri-Las' very first recording from December 1963.
THE JAPHIES
Remember how I missed the Japhies on Friday? Seems like the lead singer made a miraculous recovery, as the band played tracks from their 22/3 album, including "Darker Times", "Thrutch" and "Vacation Boogie".
They were loud and the drummer was encouraged to go nuts, and everyone around me was impressed with the band. I'm glad I finally got to see them, having missed them last Friday and missing them with Pink Mink last year.
By the time Cherie Currie came on stage, all the fans were up closer front. Currie confessed that she was envious of her fans, "If it was me, I'd be in bed!" She was grateful that it was her fans that kept her going as they launched into "Queens of Noise", followed by another fan-favorite, "California Paradise".
As you can see from the setlist, lots of classic Runaways songs, but Currie threw in some new solo ones (from that "unicorn" album that she's recorded by has not been officially released).
I don't need to tell you that "Cherry Bomb" was something to behold. Wow, Currie should have ended her set with that song, there's no way you can top it, especially with the entire audience screaming "Ch-ch-cherry bomb!" at the top of their lungs. Instead, Currie wanted to pay homage to David Bowie with a cover of "Rebel Rebel", which sounded good (who doesn't love that song), but personally between you and me, it should've ended with "Cherry Bomb".
Anyway, I can tell that these are all dedicated fans, many of them bringing old 12" to get them signed and many of them were at Currie's previous shows. In fact, Currie (along with the rest of her band) were all very accessible. She never refuse to sign or pose for photos and she stayed to talk to everyone that came.
Cherie Currie just recently added a few more dates in October and November, go see her and bring your Runaways collectibles!
