Top 75 Songs of 2014 Part III (20-1)
This is it, the top 20 songs of the year! Apologies to Hospitality and to d'angelo both of whom made albums I didn't listen to until the last week or so which I find really excellent. You can see here that most of my tastes lean toward hip-hop and punk tinged indie rock, so prepare to see a lot of that. I don't really have any wide reflections on the musical year, I'll let the list speak for itself. Enjoy!
Check out parts One and Two
20. Chance the Rapper "Wonderful Everyday"
Chance only released a couple of songs this year, but this is the one that fully captured my attention–a fairly straightforward cover of the theme song from Arthur. Featuring no rapping at all, its greatness comes from the way that it builds upon itself slowly with its near a cappella musical stylings.
19. J Cole "Be Free"
J Cole released this song in the response to the Michael Brown tragedy and the aftermath of what happened in Ferguson. Another rapper that chooses to sing instead of rap and it creates a raw and emotional tone, filled with lament that cannot be expressed through lyrics alone.
18. Ex Hex "Don't Wanna Lose"
A pretty straight forward rock song with a female fronted punk/garage vibe that keeps moving infectiously. It's the perfect album opener.
17. FKA Twigs "Pendulum"
Dark and broody, Twigs' slowed down artsy pop is catchy in its own unique way, this song takes a while building before it gets to the payoff but when it does every second of the previous tension was worth it.
16. Tune-Yards "Time of Dark"
Merrill Garbus shows off her lung capacity here proving that she not only excels at being eclectic, but that she also has big pipes.
15. FKA Twigs "Kicks"
The album closer proved to be my favorite, she truly excels at building up the atmosphere of a song while quietly inserting her voice into it breaking through in its own quiet way.
14. The Hotelier "An Introduction to the Album" (explicit)
An album opener whose title does not live up to its pop-punk epic-ness. A song that was truly built to be sung along to live every poetic word shouted out. Lyrically the song is unique by using the last word of each verse to start the next one. This song encapsulates all the emotion, passion, and angst that comes with pop-punk and emo and is truly great.
13. Wild Beasts "Wanderlust"
Indie rock and electronic at its finest, another song that rides on atmosphere with its dark and almost creepy feel.
12. Jungle "Busy Earnin'"
Pure joy; an EDM take on old funk jams, Jungle may not nail it every time, but here they certainly do.
11. Isaiah Rashad w/Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q "Shot You Down" (explicit)
The 7 minute version absolutely crushes it with all three rappers crushing their verses. The chorus isn't as good as the rapping but after each rapper is done it doesn't matter.
10. Taylor Swift "Blank Space"
I talked about this before, but it really is the best song to be released this year. The T-Swift album as a whole is overrated, but this song is pure sugar.
9. Joyce Manor "Falling in Love Again"
This song would have been my high school jam, number one on my mixtapes for the girl I had a crush on, there's no doubt about it.
8. Vince Staples "Blue Suede" (explicit)
Staples' combines one of the best beats of the year with a song about violence that is also a sort of ode to the classic rock 'n roll tune–it works on every level.
7. Makthaverskan "Antabus" (explicit)
A fast, driving punk song in which the Swedish punks tell off whoever this song was intended for with a forceful use of F-bombs.
6. Rick Ross w/Kanye West and Big Sean "Sanctified" (explicit)
Using a Gospel song for not so holy means, these three confess what their true desires are, but ultimately Kanye is transcendent in his own Kanye way.
5. Iceage "The Lord's Favorite"
A sort of hardcore song done in a slack-jawed alt-country manner. The song probably deserves to be blasted in a dusty bar, but works just as well coming through your laptop speakers.
4. Run the Jewels "Blockbuster Night Part 1" (explicit)
I don't know if there was another song out there that got me more hyped when listening to it. Killer Mike and el-p absolutely devastate the listener here. The song is only 2:32 which is too short, but honestly I don't think I could handle another verse–it would slay me.
3. Makthaverskan "Asleep"
The band has two main influences: 80's pop and punk rock; here they show off that 80's influence going heavy on the synths.
2. The War on Drugs "Red Eyes"
"Red Eyes" is that song you listen to after the party is over. It's catchy enough, but laid back and calming to the point that it's like the wind coming on a hot summer day.
1. Cloud Nothings "I'm Not Part of Me"
This was my favorite song at the halfway point and it has stuck at the top ever since. At its core it's an 'I'm over this' track, from the opening verse "it's over now", Dylan Baldi expresses that he has moved on in the most wonderful way. It's an empowering song, but to say this gets away from what makes it so great, which is that it is a wonderful rock song.

Cancel trick-or-treating? 'Oh, heck no,' health department director says weeks ahead of Halloween | Local News
| Dept Of Health
Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart makes remarks at a COVID-19 briefing on Tuesday, October 13, 2020. MATT BARNARD/Tulsa World
MATT BARNARD Tulsa World
Traditional Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating will not be cancelled in Tulsa County this year.
"Oh, heck, no," said Dr. Bruce Dart, executive director of the Tulsa Health Department.
"Halloween is something that can still be fun for kids and families, as long as people follow the same general recommendations of watching your distance, washing your hands and avoiding crowded, indoor events," Dart said Tuesday during a regular city/county news briefing on COVID-19.
"Frankly, to be honest, I can't think of a better opportunity to have some fun while wearing a mask," he said.
However, Dart said it is important for everyone to make modifications, including masks that cover both the nose and mouth.
"A costume mask should not be used unless it is made

Q: opengl es, ios and triangle fans I am currently rendering a scene using triangles with the following code:
        glBindVertexArrayOES(_mVertexArrayObjectTriangles);
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, _mVertexPositionNormalTriangles);
        glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, _mCRBuffer->GetIndexTriangleData()->size(), GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
        glBindVertexArrayOES(0);

_mVertexArrayObjectTriangles is my vertex array object holding elements to be rendered via triangles
_mVertexPositionNormalTriangles is my array of vertices and vertex normals
_mCRBuffer->GetIndexTriangleData() is my array of indices into the vertex array. This is a simple array of integers that encode each triangle (a,b,c,a,b,d would encode two triangles abc and abd).
All works just fine, but I would like to render my primitives using triangle fans instead of triangles. How do I set up an array of triangle fans (i.e. more that one) to be drawn using something like
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, ....

How do set up my index array to index a set of triangle fans for rendering (jnstead of triangles). The vertices themselves need not change, just the indices to render them using triangle fans instead of triangles.
I can find good examples using triangle strips (here), including how to set up the index array but nothing on triangle fans.

A: Changing from a strip to a fan is non-trivial, as your data needs to be setup accordingly.  You have to have a central vertex from which all the other triangles emanate

If you choose to do it, you just need to order your vertices in the manner shown in the diagram, and make sure you do it in chunks of vertices that have a common vertex.

Book Review: A History of Western Philosophy
Date: March 13, 2020Author: faithandselfdefense 0 Comments
A History of Western Philosophy From the Pre-Socratics to Postmodernism by C. Stephen Evans (IVP Academics, 2018) is an excellent introductory textbook for serious Christian apologists. I say serious because the book covers more than 2,500 years of philosophy in only 600 pages.
The author wrote that it took him seven years to write this book and it may take you many days or even weeks to read and absorb the information presented. However, I believe your time reading A History of Western Philosophy will be repaid in gaining a deeper understanding the world of Ancient Greece and Rome and why people believed what they believed during the early years of the Christian church, along with what people believe today in many parts of our world.
C. Stephen Evans is University Professor of Philosophy and the Humanities at Baylor University. Evans also taught philosophy at Calvin College, St. Olaf College, and Wheaton College. Evans' previous books include Philosophy of Religion (2009), Kierkegaard: An Introduction (2009), Natural Signs and Knowledge of God: A New Look at Theistic Arguments (2012), God and Moral Obligation (2014), and Why Christian Faith Still Makes Sense (2015).
Evans does a good job at the beginning of the book answering the question "what is 'western' philosophy." He also looks at questions about the nature of philosophy and the history of philosophy.
"Philosophy is a quest for wisdom, and wisdom is, at least in part, practical. A wise person would be a person who understands what it is to be a human being and how human life should be lived. That in turn requires an understanding of the world in which humans live. The person who is looking for the right things can see these concerns as present in the whole history of Western philosophy, but it is easier to do if one's conception of philosophy is shaped by the early Greeks, in whom the quest for wisdom as including an understanding of the good life stands out so vividly." p 5
Evans points out in his introduction about philosophy that it's important to know he is a Christian believer.
"Part of my interest in philosophy stems from a conviction that philosophy is a valuable tool for a Christian who wants a deeper understanding of his or her faith, and who wants a deeper understanding of the Western world that has been partly shaped by philosophy. The history of Western philosophy is particularly interesting for a Christian because that history often intersects with the history of theology and the history of various religions, especially the three Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam." p 10
This list of contents from A History of Western Philosophy is a good way to see how Dr. Evans covered the topic. I highly recommend Dr. Evans' new book to every Christian apologist.
1. Introduction to the Project
2. The Beginnings of Western Philosophy: The Pre-Socratics
3. Socrates and the Sophists
4. Plato
5. Aristotle
6. Philosophy in the Hellenistic and Roman Periods: Epicureanism, Stoicism, Skepticism, and Neoplatonism
7. Early Christian Thought Through Augustine
8. Early Medieval Philosophy
9. The High Middle Ages (I): Thomas Aquinas
10. The High Middle Ages (II): Bonaventure, Scotus, Ockham
11. Philosophy Between the Medieval and Modern Periods
12. Descartes and the Beginning of Modern Philosophy
13. Continental Rationalism: Spinoza and Leibniz
14. British Empiricism: Locke and Berkeley
15. The Scottish Enlightenment (I): David Hume
16. The Scottish Enlightenment (II): Thomas Reid
17. Enlightenment Deism, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Mary Wollstonecraft
18. Immanuel Kant
19. German Idealism and Hegel
20. Karl Marx
21. Søren Kierkegaard
22. John Stuart Mill and Nineteenth-Century Positivism
23. Friedrich Nietzsche
24. Conclusions: Some Lessons from the History of Western Philosophy
Publisher's Notes
"Plato. Aristotle. Augustine. Hume. Kant. Hegel.
These names and the philosophies associated with them ring through the minds of every student and scholar of philosophy. And in their search for knowledge, every student of philosophy needs to know the history of the philosophical discourse such giants have bequeathed us.
Noted philosopher C. Stephen Evans brings his expertise to this daunting task as he surveys the history of Western philosophy, from the Pre-Socratics to Nietzsche and postmodernism—and every major figure and movement in between."
"Few textbook writers have a long and distinguished record of first-rank scholarship, but this one does. Even fewer have been able to write successfully for disciplinary specialists, interested intellectuals, and first-time inquirers, but this one has. Almost none of these can offer the fruit of a lifetime's reflection on philosophy from an informed and discerning Christian viewpoint, but this one can. Steve Evans's new survey is a rare gift, as he himself is, and I trust this book will gain the wide reading it deserves." John G. Stackhouse Jr., Samuel J. Mikolaski professor of religious studies, Crandall University, Moncton, Canada
"We have here an overview of western philosophy from the pre-Socratic philosophers of ancient Greece to the twentieth century. It offers a summary of the basic teachings of the major thinkers we have come to call philosophers that is comprehensive, succinct, lucid, and evenhanded. In addition there are occasional reflections on the significance of the material for Christian thought. Combined with the appropriate primary source readings, this volume will be a very useful textbook for a variety of college level courses." Merold Westphal, distinguished professor of philosophy emeritus, Fordham University
"When a world-class Christian philosopher writes on the history of Western philosophy, one can expect a first-rate work that illuminates and enriches—and that is just what we find here. Evans's book effectively distills key philosophical figures and their ideas, considering both their historical context and their lasting influence. What we have in this volume is a marvelous resource that engages key thinkers and philosophical concepts judiciously, insightfully, and Christianly." Paul Copan, the Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University, author of A Little Book for New Philosophers
"Evans's A History of Western Philosophy is a superb instance of its kind, skillfully combining breadth of coverage with insightful philosophical analysis of the ideas and arguments covered. It is accessible enough to be helpful to those who are new to philosophy, yet comprehensive and accurate enough to offer something to graduate students and professors. This book would be especially suitable as the sole secondary text assigned in an introductory philosophy course or in more advanced undergraduate courses in the history of philosophy. It would also be a great resource for clergy and laypeople who are interested in philosophical thought." Michael Rota, associate professor of philosophy, University of St. Thomas
"C. Stephen Evans has performed a tremendous service for Christian philosophers, especially those new to the field. A History of Western Philosophy is an excellent single-volume history of the progress of western philosophical thought. Dr. Evans hits all the major players, concentrating on the essentials of each philosopher's contribution to the ongoing discussion. His style is clear, lucid, and accessible for the novice while also presenting insightful evaluations for those who are advanced. It is a superb work that should be on the shelf of every thoughtful Christian." Mark W. Foreman, professor of philosophy and religion, Liberty University

World Series 2016: Seven best things about Indians' run to Fall Classic
Written By Bill Bender
(Getty Images) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/sporting_news/d7/6e/andrew-miller-francisco-lindor-terry-francona-102016-getty-ftrjpg_vepzdv13micv1868sk31pyyx5.jpg?t=-473935513&w=500&quality=80
The Indians are headed to the World Series after blowing past the Red Sox 3-0 in the ALDS and the Blue Jays 4-1 in the ALCS.
It's not an improbable run - Cleveland won the AL Central and had the second-best record in the American League, but there have been more than a few charmed moments along the way. Remember, Cleveland didn't have starting pitchers Carlos Carrasco or Danny Salazar entering the postseason.
MORE: Each MLB team's worst postseason memory
That has not slowed down the Indians one bit. Here are seven things that have helped Cleveland back in the World Series for the first time since 1997:
7. Lindor's timing
Shortstop Francisco Lindor's emergence as a big-time star comes at the right time. Cleveland has hit just .208 this postseason. Lindor is the only every-day player in the lineup hitting above .300. Lindor has two home runs in the playoffs, and they both served as tone-setters. In Game 1 of the ALDS, Lindor hit the third of three third-inning homers in a 5-4 win against Boston. Lindor's two-run homer in Game 1 of the ALCS accounted for the only runs in a 2-0 victory.
Trevor Bauer (Getty Images)
6. Bauer's bloody hand
Trevor Bauer injured his hand while working on his drone, which pushed his start back to Game 3 in the ALCS. Indians manager Terry Francona played it off by saying, "Who hasn't suffered a drone-related injury before?" Bauer tried to give it a go, but his hand was a bloody mess after just 0.2 innings. Instead of unraveling the pitching staff, however, six relievers combined to lead Cleveland to a 4-2 win. Instead of causing a rift or #DroneGate, Bauer's injury was another well-timed rallying point.
5. Merritt's spot start
Ryan Merritt had all of 11 innings of big-league experience before starting in Game 5 against Toronto, and that had Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista sayings things like the young pitcher should be "shaking in his boots." Merritt retired the first 10 batters he faced - including Bautista twice - to give the Indians 4.1 innings of two-run shutout ball. That set up the bullpen for a 3-0 shutout that propelled Cleveland to the World Series. Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis fired back at Bautista afterward, saying, "'That's why you don't say dumb s-." That will probably be a T-shirt in Cleveland.
MORE: 14 weird postseason facts
4. Tito's way
Indians manager Terry Francona set the tone by going with Andrew Miller in the fifth inning of Game 1 against Boston. Francona ended Boston's curse in 2004 and tacked on another World Series championship in 2007, but he needed just three games to take out his former employer in the ALDS. Francona hasn't disrupted Cleveland's momentum, and he might have a chance to go against former Boston GM Theo Epstein if the Cubs make the World Series. Francona is 28-17 in the postseason. Both Boston runs to the championship ended with 11-3 records. He's ahead of the pace so far.
MORE: Francona has assured himself a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame
3. 'Miller Time'
Miller's dominance has been the most-remarkable headline of the playoff to this point. He's pitched 11.2 scoreless innings in six postseason appearances, and that's come with 21 strikeouts. He's allowed just five hits and two walks. Miller has pitched in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. Francona isn't afraid to put him in at any time. That's a hell of a psychological weapon to have considering how unhittable the 6-foot-7 lefthander has been this postseason.
Lou Boudreau, Larry Doby (Sporting News Archives)
2. Not since 1948 …
A drought is a drought is a drought. The Indians haven't won a World Series since 1948, which is the midpoint between potential National League representatives Chicago (1908) and Los Angeles (1988). When LeBron James addressed the crowd at Progressive Field he said, "It's always us against the world." A potential World Series against the Dodgers wouldn't be as polarizing, but the Cubs' drought would trump the Indians' drought in this case. Cleveland had chances in 1954, 1995 and 1997. The Cubs haven't been to a World Series since 1945. A Chicago-Cleveland World Series would have the potential to be an all-time classic, and the Indians might just be the heel in that case.

1. Is this a dream?
On June 10, Golden State took a 3-1 lead on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Who would ever guessed at that point that on Oct. 25 the Cavs would open the season as defending NBA champions on the same night as Game 1 of the World Series in Cleveland? It's an amazing reversal of fortune for a city that just broke its 52-year pro sports championship drought. It's not a stretch to call that the biggest night in the history of Cleveland sports. Expect the atmosphere for Game 1 of the World Series to match that intensity as a result.

Republican leaders respond to Gov. Jay Inslee's new vaccine mandate
CONTACT: John Handy, Communications Director | 360-786-5758
At a news conference today, Gov. Jay Inslee announced a new vaccine mandate for most state employees, private health care and long-term care workers. House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox and Senate Republican Leader John Braun released the following statement on the announcement:
"Vaccinations can save lives and we have strongly encouraged people to get them. We have been vaccinated ourselves. But getting the vaccine is a personal health-care choice and should not be mandated by any level of government. Threatening to terminate someone's job if they don't comply with this requirement is heavy-handed and wrong. The governor should show humility, listen to those who have concerns about the vaccine, and look to provide other options – including incentives.
"Similar to past announcements, we learned of the governor's decision from the media. Those impacted by his decision, and their state lawmakers, have again been prevented from having a role in this process. This is yet another example of why we need emergency powers reform. Other states have enacted limits on their executive branches, but Democrats in our state have been afraid to challenge Governor Inslee. Call a special session. Give the people a meaningful say in these decisions."

Major Dundee on VHS. Starring Charlton Heston, Richard Harris, Senta Berger. With Jim Hutton, James Coburn, Michael Anderson Jr., Slim Pickens. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. 1965.
Columbia Pictures Western Classics
Charlton Heston and Richard Harris are unwilling allies in director Sam Peckinpah's spectacular Western adventure.
When Apaches massacre a U.S. cavalry troop in New Mexico, Major Dundee (Heston) assembles an army of cutthroats, renegades and Confederate prisoners led by his hated counterpart, Captain Tyreen (Harris). Dundee and his rebel band pursue the Indians into Mexico, where they battle the French army as well as murderous Apaches. Aiding a ravaged village, the men are honored with a fiesta, and the Major finds solace with beautiful Teresa Santiago (Senta Berger). But this idyll is only temporary. In an unforgettable climax, the two officers put aside their fierce rivalry and lead their troops to confront the French in a bloody showdown.

Tyrophagus casei, the cheese mite, is a species of mite which is inoculated into  and Altenburger Ziegenkäse cheese during their production. It is  long, and feeds on cheese, corn, flour, old honeycombs, bird collections, and smoked meats.

The surface of cheese which has been colonised by mites may be covered with a fine, grey powder or bloom, due to the mites themselves and their moulted skin and faeces. These impart a distinctive "piquant" taste to various cheeses.

Bitcoin is occasionally portraited in traditional media as a scam that simply tricks investors into a false narrative of them getting rich quick. Media outlets often compare bitcoin to the tulip mania of 1634, implying that bitcoin itself has no value whatsoever. This is obviously not ideal for the entire crypto-space as people from the general public who have no existing knowledge on the subject might just blindly believe what the media says. Today, however, Yahoo Finance released a video on the subject of "Is Bitcoin A Scam" in which the answer clearly is no.
Bitcoin is a legitimate technology, it is a software technology. It does have a value we're seeing the market wrestle everyday with what that value should be.
Every day more people are gaining interest in the technology and everything it brings, especially when outsiders aren't being told it's a scam before they even get a chance to explore the subject. Yahoo Finance is a well-established business media outlet known to people all over the world. They have around 150 million visitors each month.
Yahoo Finance also points out the high volatility the crypto-market brings. At the time of this writing, bitcoin is valued at $10.866 down ~4.2% from its high of $11.349 yesterday. Bitcoin has surged more than 80% in just 2 weeks from its lowest point since correcting from its ATH of $19.000 in late December. So today's fall is just a small bump in the road.
As Yahoo Finance points out, this kind of volatility is expected from such a new and potentially revolutionary technology. If this technology is the future as Yahoo Finance hints it could be, then its value is very likely to increase greatly in the future.
Nobody knows what the future might bring for bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies, but either way, it's a very exciting space to be a part of.

Brendan Zerfoss To Continue Academic And Track Career At Slippery Rock University (08/22/18)
on 22 August, 2018 at 15:41
Clarion Area Track Star Brendan Zerfoss is continuing his academic and athletic career at Slippery Rock University.
(Photos by Rich Rhoades/Jeffersonian Democrat) Brendan proudly displaying his 2018 PIAA 5th place medal in the 400 meter dash
Brendan placed fifth in both the 200 and 400 meters at the PIAA State Meet, this past May. He was the District Nine Class AA Champion in both those events and finished second in the 100, for which he earned the Boys James Manners Track MVP Award.
Along with Brookville's Ian Thrush, Brendan was named 2018 Male Track Co-Track Athlete of the Year on the Tri-County Sunday/Courier Express Track and Field All-Star Team.
He was named the 2018 Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference (KSAC) Boys Track MVP and was named to the first team in the 100, 200 and 400, and teamed with Don Cunningham, Austin Hummell and Marshall Powers for First Team honors in the 1600 relay.
The Slippery Rock track team competes in a winter season, so he will begin workouts soon. Brendan expects to run the 400 and maybe the 200, as well.
(Photo by Rich Rhoades/Jeffersonian Democrat) Brendan Zerfoss rounds the curve during Friday's 200-meter dash preliminary race.
Brendan chose Slippery Rock for both academic and athletic reasons. He feels that they have a great track and field program and his honored to be a part of it.
He is undecided on his major.
Some of Brendan's memorable meets were the Butler Invitational with his teammates, the Redbank Valley Invitational his senior year, the District Nine Meets his junior and senior years, especially his senior year when he was named Track MVP. And last but not least, States his senior year, as he brought home two medals for the Bobcats.
Brendan mentioned that he "would like to thank all his teammates he had the pleasure of running and sharing the field with. Also, all the parents and fans that supported him during his track years. As for the coaches, a special thanks to Dan Alderton, Nate McClaine, B. J. Roth and Ben Bevevino."
(Thanks to Rich Rhoades from the Jeffersonian Democrat for the photos. Congratulations to Brendan!!!! All the Best at Slippery Rock!!!!)

What difference can cochlear implants make?
Before you invest time and energy into any hearing solution, you want to know that it will have a significant impact on your life. Cochlear implants can restore a new level of hearing for patients who cannot get any real benefit from regular hearing aids. Many conventional solutions only work if the receptive systems still have some ability to process sound. A cochlear implant effectively and innovatively replaces or bypasses the part of your hearing system that no longer works.
When you have a cochlear implant, it won't help you to hear precise speech and sounds. However, it will give you some tangible input to process that you can learn to interpret with our help. We will give you accurate expectations of what you can expect to hear when you visit Allison Audiology.
How are cochlear implants fitted?
You will begin the process by having a detailed assessment with us. We check your eligibility for cochlear implants and ensure that you and your family understand the whole process.
Implants are fitted during a surgical procedure where you will be under general anesthetic. The whole process takes no more than a couple of hours. You will require some recuperation time afterwards. The scar from your surgery will be small and, for most people, not very noticeable.
For the first 3-6 weeks, you will simply be healing from the implantation and you will not be able to hear any differently than you did before. This is to allow time for any normal swelling to go down and for the area to recover.
Your next step will be learning to interpret the input you receive from your cochlear implant. This is an ongoing process and there will be a period of adjustment and adaptation. We will book a series of appointments with you, so you visit regularly us during this time.
The bottom line is that, at Allison Audiology, we are here to support you no matter what choices you make about your hearing healthcare. Cochlear implants may be for you and, if they are, we can help you make the steps towards getting them and integrating them into your life.
All you need to do to start the process is make an appointment with us. We can answer any questions you have. We have a gentle, no-pressure approach when it comes to any treatment you are considering.

Motorola Issues The Bad Financial News Of 2008
Motorola made public its business figures for the first three months of the year and there's no surprise: the results are bad.
The major flaw in the corporate armor is, no wonder, the handset business, with sales down 39% to $3.3bn. The losses amounted to $418 million, almost double than last year ($233 million).
The devision has a big issue at Motorola for some time now, its fall leading the company to decide and cut it off from its other businesses.
It's a known fact that the company has been looking for someone to take the division off its hands, but with little luck. With Motorola mobile now on its own, hopes are that things could be turned around a bit, up to the point that buyers would become interested.
All in all, Motorola's net loss was of $194 million, on revenues of $7.45 billion. Last year, the losses were of $181 million, on revenues of $9.43 billion.
On the bright side, there are Home and Networks Mobility and the Enterprise Mobility division. The first saw its sale spick up 2% to $2.4 billion (although operating earnings were down to $153 million versus $167 million last year). The latter's sales went up 5%, while operating earnings were almost double: $250 million.

Woman guilty of role in IRS refund scam run…

Woman guilty of role in IRS refund scam run from Colorado prison
May 11, 2016 at 3:14 a.m.
A federal court jury in Denver convicted Cristina Portillos, 36, of conspiracy and seven other charges related to a tax refund scheme being run by Colorado prison inmates.
Portillos agreed to receive about $38,000 of bogus IRS refund checks at her Colorado Springs address as part of the scam.
Two inmates used information from other inmates and their relatives to file false returns claiming refunds ranging from $2,491 to $3,052.
In all, more than 250 false refund claims were submitted.
After a five-day trial, the jury took four hours Friday to reach the verdict.
"Defendant Portillos was a key player not only in a scheme to defraud the United States but to steal the identity and tax information of others," U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a news release.
"The damage done extended well beyond the dollars she and her co-defendants stole."
Portillos, who had been indicted last year along with five co-conspirators, is scheduled to be sentenced July 29.

With (supposedly) one week until closing on our house, I was standing at the top of the hill waiting for my dog to relieve himself and reflecting on my life. My father passed away eight days after I turned 18. I was lucky enough to have a father that I could respect. He was firm, followed through on his word, and made sure I knew he was proud of me before he died.
For a long time I've wondered if he'd be still be proud of me. I know my life hasn't turned out the way I expected, let alone the way he may have hoped. For some reason as I stood at that hill and my dog refused to go to the bathroom I realized he still would be. My life is simple, I love my husband and my stubborn dog, but more than that, I'm happy. I know how truly blessed I am.
I don't measure my life in dollar signs or the number of zeros in my bank account. I measure it in fresh-baked bread and half-baked ideas. I know that he'd appreciate my entrepreneurship with MealPlanRescue.com, my willingness to put myself out there on this blog. I invest myself in my family. I kick arse and take names. I am my father's daughter.
Keeping your life simple is never an easy task. There's always more things to buy, a new gadget, something's wearing out. Prioritizing makes it easier. Being able to cook dinner for my family is a priority. I could work more hours to pay for a nicer place, but I couldn't necessarily still care for my family the same way. It's amazing how defining what you care about can make all the other static melt away.
Write down the three things you want out of life.
Write down what you need to have those three things.
Write down what interferes with what you want.
What is your moment of reflection?
What kind of life did you think your dad wanted for you?
That's a good question. My Dad wanted the life for me that he didn't have. He was supposed to go to University to study English literature, but he was drafted in the Vietnam war. He wanted me to get my Bachelor's and take over the world. But I think that's what every loving father wants for his child…the world. I had a nice talk with my mother the other day and she reminded me that he'd be proud of me because I'm happy, and because I'm living on my own terms.

GSP arranged $5,475,000 in financing, composed of $4,275,000 non-recourse first mortgage from a REIT and $1,200,000 recourse second mortgage from a private-money lender, to acquire a 1980's-vintage, 100% vacant data center. The 77% of purchase price financing provides 12 months of term to allow the Sponsor to 1) implement capital improvements, and 2) generate positive cash flow, prior to putting permanent financing on the Property. The Lenders did not require an appraisal or other third-party reports, and required only a four-month interest/carry reserve despite no in-place cash flow. The financing is prepayable without penalty throughout the loan term.
GSP secured $6,350,000 in proceeds for the refinance of two properties comprising 28 units in Los Angeles. Since acquisition, the Borrowers made significant upgrades to the Property, including renovating 12 units at a cost of nearly $30,000 per unit. These units were re-leased at market rate, resulting in a considerable increase in income. The selected Lender was able to give the Borrower maximum credit for the higher income without using a loan-to-cost constraint. Additionally, two of the renovated units were leased just a week before close. The Lender was able to use the additional income based on the signed leases, without requiring any seasoning. Fixed at 4.4% for 7 years, the loan provides three years of interest only payments before rolling into a 30 year amortization schedule. Proceeds were maximized by using a 1.15x Debt Coverage Ratio on the actual mortgage constant.
GSP arranged the non-recourse first mortgage from a regional balance sheet lender. Due to the Sponsors and Sellers requirement for a quick close, the Lender was able to close and fund the loan in under three weeks. The Property was acquired 100% vacant at loan closing. The loan is structured as an initial 80% advance based on the purchase price and past tenant buyouts, with a further 80% ($280,000) to be future funded for the reposition and lease-up of the Property. Interest is not paid on the future funding until drawn. Furthermore, there is no lockout period providing the Sponsor with unlimited flexibility to refinance or sell the Property without a burdensome prepayment penalty.
George Smith Partners secured $6,350,000 in proceeds for the refinance of two properties comprising 28 units in Los Angeles. Since acquisition, the Borrowers made significant upgrades to the Property including renovating 12 units at a cost of nearly $30,000 per unit. These units were re-leased at market rate, resulting in a considerable increase in income. The selected lender was able to give the Borrower maximum credit for the higher income without using a loan-to-cost constraint. Additionally, two of the renovated units were leased just a week before close. The Lender was able to use the additional income based on the signed leases, without requiring any seasoning. Fixed at 4.4% for 7 years, the loan provides three years of interest only payments before rolling into a 30 year amortization schedule. Proceeds were maximized by using a 1.15x Debt Coverage Ratio on the actual mortgage constant.
George Smith Partners arranged $4,235,000 of acquisition/bridge financing for a 19 unit residential mixed-use property in Santa Barbara, CA. The Property, originally constructed as a 10 unit apartment building in 1951, was converted to mixed-use with a second and third floor office and residential penthouse addition in 1973. The change in use was a response at the time to demand for office given the Property's close proximity to the popular State Street retail corridor just a block away. The Borrower plans to seek approval to convert the 1973 office addition portion of the project back to residential use and lease all but two front commercial units with long term leases. The challenge was finding a Lender that could underwrite the business plan and get comfortable with take-out financing of this mixed-use residential/office project. GSP was successful in identifying a lender that could get comfortable with the uncertainty of the Borrower's ability to convert the project to mostly residential.


22 Mar (NucNet): Nuclear generation capacity in India is expected to reach nearly 15 GW by 2024 because the government has expedited the process of constructing new power reactors, the lower house of parliament, or Lok Sabha, was told on 22 March 2017.
"When we came to power in 2014, we set a target of increasing nuclear generation capacity threefold in 10 years and we hope to reach that target," Mr Singh said.
He said, however, that there needs to be enough uranium available, both from domestic and foreign sources.
Mr Singh said the government was pursuing the process of acquiring uranium from different sources, including exploration in areas with known uranium reserves such as Bihar state in eastern India and Meghalaya state in northeast India.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, India has 22 nuclear reactors in commercial operation and five under construction.
Former US president Barack Obama and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi announced last year that engineering and design work would begin for Westinghouse to build six AP1000s in India in a deal that was expected to be signed by June 2017.
The contract would be the first under a US-India civil nuclear accord reached in 2008.

The 20 Best Performances We Saw at SXSW 2022
Featuring Wet Leg, Haru Nemuri, W.H. Lung and more
By Scott Russell & Paste Staff | March 28, 2022 | 12:25pm
Photos by Lindsay Thomaston Music Lists SXSW
Two weeks after returning at long last to Austin, Texas, for an in-person South by Southwest—not to mention celebrating our 20th anniversary the only way we know how—the Paste Music team has finally caught its collective breath, and we're ready to reminisce. Hundreds of bands scattered across "The Live Music Capital of the World" for the first time since the pandemic began, popping up in churches, restaurants, alleyways, parking lots and just about any other space you can imagine, and performing for fans especially ravenous for shows. Some of our favorite sets, we saw coming, while others were pleasant surprises we stumbled upon while making our ways through the musical whirlwind. Some of these bands graced Paste's own stages at The Pershing, while others performed elsewhere around ATX. The sum total of it all is the 20 best performances we saw at SXSW 2022—look back on them all (or live vicariously through our staff's still-ringing ears) below.
Bun B
Texas legend Bun B's career has spawned a second life after the dissolution of UGK following Pimp C's passing in 2007. With his unmistakable baritone, it's no surprise that his voice has been featured on tracks by everyone from E-40 to Ginuwine, Big K.R.I.T. to Parquet Courts. At SXSW, Bun carried himself with grace as he barreled his way through his catalog, from "Int'l Players Anthem (I Choose You)" to "Draped Up," reminding fans both old and new of his career that has spanned over 30 years. —Jade Gomez
Cassandra Jenkins
As an overwhelmed first-time (in-person) SXSW attendee, Cassandra Jenkins' Tuesday night set at St. David's was precisely what I needed, a hushed oasis of a performance and venue alike—"It feels good in here," Jenkins said of the sanctuary, tucked away a couple blocks off the hectic Red River corridor. Her set itself was ethereal from beginning to end, lengthy sound check included, from which Jenkins and her band eased directly into "American Spirits." From there, a handful of tracks off their acclaimed 2021 LP An Overview on Phenomenal Nature sandwiched a near-unrecognizable rendition of Paste's favorite song of 2021, "Hard Drive," complete with upbeat guitar chug and dueling saxophones—"We spared you a 35-minute version of that last song," said Jenkins after, in a radical misunderstanding of the term "spared"—and a new, untitled tune about getting a job at a flower shop ("Jobs, anyone?" Jenkins deadpanned) that was characteristically enchanting. Sorry to say so, but Jenkins' St. David's set was a borderline spiritual experience, from Adam Schatz's first synth note down to Jenkins' last tender vocal. —Scott Russell
Duke Deuce
Memphis' own Duke Deuce is a force to be reckoned with. In his explosive performance as part of legendary Texas outfit The Chopstars' showcase at cleverly named Pour Choices, Duke commanded the stage for a jam-packed setlist featuring hits such as "WTF!" and "Falling Off" featuring Rico Nasty. Whether he's breaking into one of the many dance moves that have earned him internet virality or commanding the audience to repeat his iconic "what the fuck" ad-lib, Duke Deuce has used the pandemic to his advantage in perfecting his magnetic stage presence that will take him to even further heights. —Jade Gomez
Brooklyn art-punk band Gustaf have generated quite a bit of buzz since their formation in 2018, and they managed to live up to all of the hype during the four sets they played in Austin last week. Tine Hill (bass), Vram Kherlopian (guitar), Melissa Lucciola (drums), Tarra Thiessen (percussion) and Lydia Gammill (lead vocals) tore through a blistering show at the second day of Paste's party at The Pershing. Armed only with children's toys and household objects used for percussion, pitch-shifted backing vocals and the perfect amount of charm to balance out their kookiness, it's easy to see why the band seemed to win over pretty much anyone within earshot. —Elise Soutar
Haru Nemuri
Sometime around 1 a.m., the Tokyo-based Haruna Kimishima (performing under the moniker Haru Nemuri) takes the stage for the evening's final soundcheck. Kimishima, whose cheeks are dusted in a chunky silver glitter, surveys the bristling Cheer Up Charlie's crowd while a crew member comes over to lower her mic stand. Being quite petite and having just been preceded by a platform-clad Julia Cumming (of Sunflower Bean), it feels as if the stand drops nearly a foot in height. Kimishima chuckles lightly as the stagehand twists the stand back into position; whether this laugh comes at an amusing observation of height difference or because the singer plans to never stay in one place long enough to actually make use of a mic stand, I am still trying to deduce. The guttural death-metal roar that rises from Kimishima's throat only seconds into the setlist (it's "kick in the world," the explosive title track from her 2018 EP that lands somewhere between electro-punk, rap and J-pop) shocks and intrigues with an energy that towers well beyond the reach of any mic stand extension. Kimishima knows this and latches on, heaving her body to the beat while her free hand hurls firstly towards heaven, then in an air-guitar roundhouse, then back to a desperate clutch of the microphone resembling something of a prayer. This is how the next 45 minutes continue, Haru Nemuri a whirling dervish, stumbling as if bulletstruck, limbs playing the part of both dodgeball and dodger. If Kimishima is out of breath, she doesn't show it, electing still for wilder movement. "Dance with me!" she cries before darting through the crowd, my fellow attendees dutifully lifting our eccentric ballerina's microphone cord overhead to provide a clear path for her urgent romp. Back onstage, Kimishima addresses us warmly, a gigantic smile plastered across her face as she delivers a quick lesson in Japanese before inviting us to sing along. Most of the audience, myself included, do not speak Japanese. Kimishima seems to want our effort more than our perfection, and it's clear by this point that we are all simply honored to be sharing this moment in time with her, so we oblige. Bows come too soon, but still, Haru Nemuri's spell does not wane. —Lindsay Thomaston
Fresh off announcing their full-length debut Versions of Modern Performance (June 3, Matador), Chicago trio Horsegirl laid effortless waste to a packed-out Cheer Up Charlie's crowd on their way to a Grulke Prize win for Developing U.S. Act. If anything, the moment was too small for vocalist-guitarists Nora Cheng and Penelope Lowenstein, and drummer Gigi Reece, who performed with a coolly detached command that belied their years (Cheng and Reece are college freshmen, and Lowenstein still a high school senior)—no bass, no banter, no problem. Cheng and Lowenstein's vocals were mixed noticeably low, but it didn't matter, a testament to their hard-charging rock's unwavering attention to melody that keeps you leaning in and compelled. Lead Versions of Modern Performance single "Anti-glory" was particularly mesmerizing, the band's commands to "dance" impossible to ignore. —Scott Russell
King Hannah
Liverpool's King Hannah was named one of Paste's Best of What's Next acts for a reason, and their performance at our anniversary celebration proved that. The band's tight grasp on American folk and blues paints ominous and sometimes humorous portraits of daily life. Frontwoman Hannah Merrick is an enigma, delivering each line with a subtle intensity that can bring anyone to their knees. A special treat was their cover of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper," a fitting tribute to the musical lineage that spawned their take on rock and roll. King Hannah proves music knows no borders. —Jade Gomez
When we saw rising synth-pop stars Magdalena Bay perform at last year's all-digital SXSW, Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin livestreamed from a living room, their DIY setup complete with green-screen visuals and artificial crowd noise. Safe to say the duo leveled up for their sole 2022 set, commanding the corner stage at Cheer Up Charlie's and delivering an early highlight of a head-spinning week. Tenenbaum and Lewin pulled most of their setlist from their acclaimed 2021 debut Mercurial World, from the bouncy "Dawning of the Season" to the positively ebullient "The Beginning," and closed with their breakout 2019 hit "Killshot." Lewin was locked in all the way through, in perpetual motion between his guitar, bass, keys and computer, while Tenenbaum's cool confidence and vocal prowess only ramped up as their set progressed. Ain't no dance party like a Mag Bay dance party, and they'll only get bigger from here. —Scott Russell
Narrow Head
Narrow Head's late-night set at Wednesday night's Run for Cover Records showcase was, in my professional opinion, hard as hell. The Houston-based quintet, led by vocalist and guitarist Jacob Duarte, unleashed wave after wave of heavy-shoegaze sludge, blending brute force with big hooks, and stoking a full-blown mosh inside the tiny Vaquero Taquero. Duarte's vocals vacillated between a jaded post-grunge drone, restrained crooning and throat-shredding screams, all riding on the band's triple-guitar onslaught. In the same vein as bands like Hum and Nothing, Narrow Head's melodic post-hardcore sound is overwhelming in the best way—at one point, I head-banged so hard, I forgot where or who I was, which is only a slight exaggeration. Narrow Head's invigorating set was a SXSW performer favorite, as well: We spotted members of Enumclaw and Wednesday rocking out in the front row. —Scott Russell
Olivia Kaplan
Tonight Turns to Nothing, the debut album from Olivia Kaplan, is an astoundingly underrated gem in the crowded wispy singer/songwriter field. It sounds more effortless and timeless than other folky indie records, and it attempts to uncover complicated emotional truths without ever coming off as self-indulgent or esoteric. Plus, there's just something about Kaplan's airy voice that activates the pleasure centers in my head, so it was a no-brainer to catch one of her SXSW sets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rowdy, late-night Hotel Vegas crowd wasn't particularly primed to hear one of Kaplan's delicate solo sets. However, it's a mark of a great songwriter to play a quiet set with no backing band to a loud, largely disinterested crowd and still connect with those who were listening hard enough. Kaplan's set was so tender and emotionally communicative that I feel bad for anyone in that room who wasn't fully present. —Lizzie Manno
Pillow Queens
Dublin's Pillow Queens have been Paste favorites for a while now, so of course they fit right in on the first day of our party, put on in collaboration with Women That Rock. Watching their performance back, it's hard not to look on (and listen) in delight and awe at the band's combination of warm vocal harmonies, earworm guitar hooks and genuinely funny stage banter. Through renditions of all three singles from their forthcoming album Leave the Light On and highlights from their 2020 debut In Waiting, it was impossible to miss the sheer passion Pamela Connolly, Sarah Corcoran, Cathy McGuinness and Rachel Lyons put into what they create (not to mention that it's hard not to immediately match the energy they bring to it). Though they mentioned not being used to heat in Austin, it seemed like most of the light was coming from the stage once they graced it with their killer set. —Elise Soutar
Pom Poko
A no-brainer highlight from Day 3 of Paste's party at The Pershing, Norwegian four-piece Pom Poko's set had our team arguing over who would get to write about it. I'm convinced that vocalist Ragnhild Fangel had more fun than any other person, let alone performer, at SXSW this year, pogoing with the audience and giddily dancing through the band's spiky art-rock explosions. Drummer Ola Djupvik and bassist Jonas Krøvel could not have been more on point, stopping, starting and shifting gears with unreal seamlessness while guitarist Martin Tonne made an absolute blur of his fretboard. Fangel was the impossibly charming presence at the center of it all, negotiating the band's alien instrumental landscapes with a joyfulness that swiftly spread through the room. Cheater tracks like "Like a Lady" positively erupted through the speakers, melding weapons-grade guitar-rock with Fangel's rosy melodies. If there was a single set at SXSW 2022 worth describing as "irresistible," it was Pom Poko's. —Scott Russell
S.G. Goodman's performance at the Paste party can best be described as "spooky," with her sprawling Kentucky tales testing the expectations of country music. Her infectious passion reaches into her spine-chilling vibrato, reminiscent of the country crooners before her. Goodman's powerful presence is as rugged as it is elegant, with a rustic edge that carries on into the vivid pictures she paints in her music. —Jade Gomez
Snotty Nose Rez Kids
First Nations hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids wear their identities proudly, and that's not a bad thing. As the lone hip-hop act at the Paste anniversary party, the Juno Award-winning act brought out the big guns. With explosive production that can be best compared to The Bomb Squad, their politically charged raps deal startling blows without ever sounding tiresome. The two juggle infectious songs of Native pride ("Boujee Natives") with hard-hitting expressions of land reclamation and anger. Snotty Nose Rez Kids are a thrilling hip-hop act that only become more powerful in a live setting. —Jade Gomez
Seoul's Se So Neon are one of today's best bands—no one does delectable and cerebral guitar pop quite like them. Their latest project, 2020's Nonadaptation, was full of R&B and electro-pop tinges, and while many indie rock bands struggle to pull off a funkier sound without sounding dated or cheesy, Se So Neon sound futuristic and cool. Their lead vocalist and guitarist Hwang Soyoon also makes music under the moniker So!YoON!, and like Se So Neon's, her music is full of engrossing textures and dynamic song structures. While Se So Neon did not appear at SXSW (though they're set to embark on their first North American tour later this month), So!YoON!'s inclusion was still exciting. Her Friday night set at the Jaded showcase displayed a cleaner, more pop-oriented sound, and her smooth, charismatic voice had a clear grip on the audience, as did the mercurial synths. Everything Soyoon has released so far sounds effortlessly interesting, and her SXSW set was no different. —Lizzie Manno
It's clear that Sudan Archives (born Brittney Parks) has garnered quite a lot of attention since she was originally slated to play SXSW in 2020, and certainly more since her performances in 2017 and 2018. Rightfully so, as the singer, songwriter, producer, and self-taught violin virtuoso has carved out a place in music that is nothing less than visionary. Inspired by West African fiddling and grounded in irresistible hip-hop beats, Parks takes her ear for the experimental and wields a sound that is all at once avant-garde and accessible, forging a voice of Afrofuturism that defies genre and demands curiosity. After downing a tequila shot (to the encouraging cheers of the eager crowd, of course) Sudan Archives opened her set with a new song (a honey-slick ballad expertly woven with Parks' electronic sensibilities) before tapping her platformed boot against a loaded pedalboard. Something like an orchestra warmup, but perhaps if you were underwater while listening to it, began to fill the room in a restless crescendo. Another tap against the pedalboard and the swell was snapped away to the catchy violin hook of "Confessions." The crowd erupted. Parks could hardly contain her grin at the reaction. A holographic butterfly strapped to her wrist bounced its wings with every glint of her bow. She looked like she was having fun, and so was I. Though the set arrived an hour late, I'm reminded of a Julie Andrews quote from the movie The Princess Diaries: "A queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early." Reader, I was simply early. —Lindsay Thomaston
I first heard the Scottish band Walt Disco roughly four years ago, when they released a single called "Dream Girl #2," which was packed with impressive, dramatic crooning and pop immediacy. That track has since been scrubbed from their internet, along with their debut EP No Need for a Curtain, on which it also appeared. Since then, a lot has changed for Walt Disco—most notably, that their songs sound sharper and that they engage much more overtly in gender exploration. After several years worth of singles and EPs that traversed various styles, their debut album Unlearning is now set to drop on April 1, and having seen their live show at SXSW, it feels like they're finally coming into the peak of their powers. Channeling the wonky post-punk of Orange Juice, the larger-than-life pop of David Bowie and the gender-bending theatricality of Rocky Horror, their set was utterly magnetic. Lead singer James Potter not only drew the crowd in with their alluring, jaunty presence, but also put on one of the great vocal performances of the festival. —Lizzie Manno
After the band's whirlwind SXSW concluded, Wednesday frontperson Karly Hartzman sparked a conversation more important than any one performance, pulling back the curtain on the potentially prohibitive costs rising artists take on in order to play the festival. Having that in mind makes us even more grateful for the Asheville quintet's Wednesday (natch) evening set that we saw, which packed Mohawk's compact indoor room with Americana-suffused, shoegaze-y guitar rock that towered to the rafters. Hartzman—clad in a fit for the ages, complete with a bedazzled "Sexy" hat and perhaps the rudest T-shirt ever screen-printed—led Wednesday in putting on the kind of dynamic show that made me both thankful I remembered to bring earplugs, and perpetually tempted to take them out, my hearing be damned. The band brought the noise of not only their 2021 standout Twin Plagues, but also a number of new songs we can't wait to catch on wax. —Scott Russell
The longest line I saw at SXSW this year was to get into the British Music Embassy showcase for Wet Leg. Inside the packed Cedar Street Courtyard, founding duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers were leading their bandmates in doing everything they could to live up to the hype. Chiming guitars and Ellis Durand's bright post-punk bass lines rang out like church bells in the cathedral-like hall, and Teasdale's dry wit on songs like "Wet Dream" and closer "Chaise Longue" had the crowd hanging on every word. Isle of Wight, their home just off England's southern coast, might be best known for its 1970 festival with Jimi Hendrix that outdrew Woodstock, but this young band with just five released singles have already put it back on the musical map. —Josh Jackson
I was very impressed by W.H. Lung's Iceland Airwaves set in 2019, in which they primarily performed songs from their debut album Incidental Music on a tiny dive bar stage. Now that they have a second, more danceable LP Vanities under their belt and were provided with far more spacious stages at SXSW, there was always a possibility that these live shows would reach new heights. Not only did it feel like W.H. Lung kicked into higher gears at SXSW, but it also felt like there was literally no limit to these gears. Lead singer Joe Evans was light on his feet, constantly bouncing around, dancing and gleefully engaging with audience members as if it was the last show he would ever play, all without any of these interactions feeling cheap or forced. He frequently inserted himself into the middle of the crowd, hellbent on provoking an affecting reaction and leaving the audience in more of a frenzy than he first found it, and was mostly successful in doing so. With their infectious dance-pop tunes and unmatched ability to make every crowd interaction feel unforgettably euphoric, there's no reason this band shouldn't be playing much bigger stages. —Lizzie Manno
