Top 50 Albums of 2014, Part Five: 10 – 1
Posted on 19/01/2015 by davidjamesyoung in Lists
Hey y'all! Well, how about this, huh? Here be the ten best rekkids of the year done gone past. Huge thanks for seeing through list season with me. Catch y'all next time around!
10. The Gaslight Anthem – Get Hurt
Spotify || Rdio
Life isn't all blue jeans and white t-shirts. The Gaslight Anthem have finally escaped the small town that almost killed them and have wound up strangers in a strange land on their fifth album. Get Hurt is an exploration through unchartered waters and foreign territory, a much-needed break from the comfort zone that, regardless of the quality of outcome, could well have killed this band had they remained within its confines.
Certainly, it wasn't as if there was some drastic detour into acid jazz or anything of the sort – after all, as Brian Fallon himself sings at one juncture, "I still love rock & roll/I still call somebody 'baby.'" There is a stretching of boundaries here, however, that is indicative of a prosperous future beyond nights with the radio and Maryanne. Get Hurt is the sound of Gaslight beginning again.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Stay Vicious, Get Hurt, Break Your Heart.
9. Sia – 1000 Forms of Fear
Sia Furler, for a time, was the ghost of pop charts past. Her writing credits and, if listening closely, her unmistakable voice, infiltrated dozen of singles from some of the biggest names in the industry. It's a life that could well have made a sustainable living for the rest of her days. The call of work under her own name, however – on hold for several years at this point – eventually grew too strong.
There were stipulations: No touring, no media campaign, no public appearances. It was a fair compromise, however, when in return we received her greatest LP since 2004's spotless Colour the Small One. Marrying her intrinsic, introspective songwriting with the sensibilities gained from her double-life in mainstream pop, Fear allowed us to see behind the blonde bob wig. We may not have seen her face all year, but this allowed for something greater – we saw her heart.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Elastic Heart, Big Girls Cry, Chandelier.
8. Die! Die! Die! – S W I M
Spotify || Rdio || Bandcamp
An exercise in irony: The definitive album from a veteran band has its title based on an online acronym for "someone who isn't me." Truth be told, this is an album could not have come from any other band – after over a decade sharpening and refining their throttled, scorched-earth take on noise-heavy post-punk, all roads that Die! Die! Die! have travelled have ultimately lead to S W I M's creation.
It snarls, scratches and seethes through envy, paranoia and disconnect – in other words, it's a decidedly ugly, ruthlessly aggressive listen. It's not user-friendly or accessible, of course. Die! Die! Die! have never been as such before. The difference is that they have never sounded so vital and purposeful in the execution of their ideas as they do here and now.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Angel, Get Hit, Out of Mind.
7. La Dispute – Rooms of the House
A house is not a home. That doesn't mean that it never has been, of course. Finding the house that was once a home – your home – can trigger so many memories, stories, truths and once-faded thoughts. This is conceptually explored – with considerable depth, it must be added – on La Dispute's third studio album.
The hyper-literacy and Jordan Dreyer's foreboding poetry that weaved its way through previous releases not only recurs on the album, but arguably latches onto its strongest subject matter to date. Each room sparks something different, allowing the protagonist to reflect on how much has changed since the transition from home to house. It's often not for the better, but it's perhaps this that keeps one hanging on every single word. Rooms of the House is a creative work in every sense.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Woman (In Mirror), For Mayor in Splitsville, Stay Happy There.
6. Pinch Hitter – When Friends Die in Accidents
A chance encounter. A dead-end job. A fear of flying. An untimely demise. A sudden realisation. A friend in need. These things, while separate entities from a contextual standpoint, are tangled together in the half-hour-and-change that comprises the debut album from this unexpected team-up.
While many came to know the project from Nick van Breda and Dave Drayton from their live shows – simply two men, two voices and, yes, two banjos – Accidents allows the two to flourish in a wider spectrum. Their musings and noodlings are guided by xylophone ("Nine-to-Fine"), flutes ("All of a Sudden") and even typewriters ("They Said This Would Stop" – no shit). It's all tied up with the four-part title track that weaves in and out of the tracklisting – and its final blow is still as devastating long after the first time you hear it.
A folk album without guitar? It's possible. Anything's possible. Everything's matter. Everything matters.
THREE TOP TRACKS: All of a Sudden, Part IV, Nine-to-Fine.
5. Death From Above 1979 – The Physical World
Back in a time when the American president was public enemy number one, Kanye West was a debut-album rookie and dance-punk was as legitimate as any rock subgenre, one guitar-less duo ruled over their six-stringed contemporaries with a half-hour of power known as You're a Woman, I'm a Machine. It was cemented by ear-splitting live shows, instant cult status and an unforgettable performance on Conan with none other than Max Weinberg sitting in.
It would take two short years for everything to fall apart for Death From Above 1979, and that – so we thought – was that. Several contributing factors lead to the band's eventual reunion, but the most prevalent ended up being unfinished business. Despite becoming quote-unquote "adults" in the time they were apart, there was still an agenda to make loud, visceral and ripsnorting rock & roll.
That's where The Physcial World comes in – a rarity insofar as being a sequel that not only matches up to its predecessor, but threatens to rival it so often it may well swallow the thing whole. Long live Death.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Right On, Frankenstein!, White is Red, Cheap Talk.
4. Sun Kil Moon – Benji
Were you told about Benji on paper, one would rightly distance themselves from it as soon as humanly possible. Just think – a late-forties dude mumbling about his parents, his dead uncle, various sexual encounters, James Gandolfini and his home state of Ohio. What could possibly be appealing about that?
It could well be argued that Benji, as an album, succeeds on account of these traits and not in spite of them. Mark Kozelek has been known in the past to allow his simple, sombre style of songwriting and storytelling to uplift ordinary things, places and people into the extraordinary. Jim Wise sounds like an odd, weird dude. On "Jim Wise," however, he somehow turns into an endlessly-fascinating character. The same can be said of Kozelek's second cousin, his drummer and even his dear mother ("My mother is 75/She's the closest friend I have ever had.") They are – or were, in some cases – just regular people until Sun Kil Moon reels them into his world.
Whether you find him driving to a Postal Service show or tripping out on Led Zeppelin in his younger days, Mark Kozelek somehow makes the cold all the more inviting. Benji is a journey – a long, exhausting and depressing one; but one any self-respecting music fan should take at some point in their lives.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes, I Love My Dad, Carissa.
3. Ben Howard – I Forget Where We Were
"Has the world gone mad?" opines Ben Howard mere minutes into the first track on his second album, before adding a further line of questioning: "Or is it me?" By the end of I Forget Where We Were, you won't have an answer. Hell, you won't even have one after a dozen spins. As it progresses, the album poses far more questions than it provides answers or traces of resolve.
Perhaps it's this that makes it such an intriguing prospect – from a songwriting perspective, it allows Howard to less scratch below the surface and more dig down as far as humanly possible. Besides bearing his name, precious little else lies on the common ground between Forget and its predecessor – here, we work through varying degrees of light and shade; love and loss; truth and lies. It takes you to points where you fear you may never return – points you feel, as a listener, you may well not be entirely prepared to go.
Herein lies the rich reward of I Forget where We Were. Ben Howard has evolved from being a mere singer-songwriter – here, he has become a journeyman.
THREE TOP TRACKS: End of the Affair, I Forget Where We Were, Conrad.
2. Pianos Become the Teeth – Keep You
Ray Charles, an r&b star, once made a country album. Kanye West, a rap phenomenon, once made an album where he sang for its entirety. Radiohead, at one point the most promising prospect in guitar music, once made an album where they barely touched the things. More than once, now you mention it. What is this all leading to? It's simple, really: The notion that risks should not only be taken, but actively encouraged. Who knows what awaits on the other side? Perhaps true greatness.That's what happened on Keep You.
Pianos Become the Teeth – an emo band in the true sense, bypassing the mall to arrive at Orchid's discography – made an album where their harsh screams and dissonant guitars were traded in for what are known in hardcore circles as "clean" vocals and a collective dip into the waters of the indie and post-rock spectrums. It was an all-or-nothing movie – make or break, sink or swim. The Baltimore natives risked everything and won it back tenfold.
Not only is it the finest of their three long-players, it also serves as a shining beacon from their immediate scene – a message to the outer reaches detailing the adventurous versatility at work within it. For an album whose final line is a cry of "Let's say nothing some more," Keep You says more in its actions than words ever could.
THREE TOP TRACKS: Repine, April, Old Jaw.
1. Sleaford Mods – Divide and Exit
Around ten years ago, in an interview with NME, Carl Barât was asked his favourite album of the year as part of a generic series of questions asked of several musicians. Barât chose A Grand Don't Come for Free by The Streets, reasoning that the album was a reflection of England that many may not necessarily want to see or hear about.
This is being brought up a decade on for two core reasons. The first of which is to sound the trumpets to signal the arrival of a new outfit less holding up a mirror to contemporary British society and more smashing said mirror and holding up a jagged shard, just to feel the pain that the pricks of blood bring. The second is admittedly a little more petulant – it's because the reference and the people and publication which it contains would be immediately be despised by James Williamson, the spoken-word half of Sleaford Mods who barks, grunts, prophesises and spits through every last thing that displeases him.
It's a cruel, frustrating world in which he lives; one that constantly brands him a fool and a ne'er-do-well when it should be acknowledging him as the smartest guy in the room. "I can't believe the rich still exist," he laments within the album's opening minutes. "Let alone run the fucking country." It's said through fuzz and distortion, and yet it lands with all the clarity of being yelled directly into your ear. He may soapbox his way through several tracks ("Liveable Shit," "Tweet Tweet Tweet"), but certain things slash through a raw nerve. He may seethe at an upper-class acquaintance he's attempting to manipulate ("I'm a connoisseur!/I've conned you, sir!/I just wanked in your toilet!") but his envy is quick to undo him entirely ("I want a house like this, how do I get it?/It's beautiful! It's fucking ridiculous!").
There are layers of complications, deep-running waters of disarray and the throbbing pain of a hangover following another bottomless night in the sewerage of another disgusting city. Divide and Exit was the sound of the everyman's demise, the death of the common people and the experiment starting over. Sleaford Mods might not want to change the world, nor is it looking specifically for a new England – and, yet, both are achieved and found, respectively, on Divide and Exit. A voice raised to its heights for years on end has finally shifted to the forefront and being paid the attention it deserves.
THREE TOP TRACKS: You're Brave, Tied Up in Nottz, Liveable Shit.

The Top 100 Songs of 2014, Part Three: 60 – 41
Posted on 23/12/2014 28/09/2015 by davidjamesyoung in Lists
Crossing over to the halfway point. Let's press on: Heartbreakers, headbangers and happy happy happy awaits you, dear reader! If you missed out, parts one and two are available to catch up on here and here. On with the show…
60. Death From Above 1979 – Cheap Talk
So, you haven't been around for ten years. There's a whole bunch of kids who weren't paying attention or were simply too young the first time around. You got a lot of people waiting for you to kick down that door. What's your game plan for returning to the party? Does it involve pummelling drums, enough bass to satisfy Meghan Trainor's entire family and just enough cowbell to keep Bruce "Cock of the Walk" Dickinson away from a fever? If so, congratulations: You're Death From Above 1979! Furthermore: Congratulations! You're responsible for one of the flat-out best opening tracks of 2014.
59. Coldplay – Midnight
For a band so oft-derided for being complacent and predictable, perhaps not even the band's fiercest detractors could have seen a track like this coming. Chris Martin is barely recognisable as he shrouds his voice in both rarely-touched-upon falsetto and layers of deep-set vocoder. The rest of the band delve into perhaps their most electronic foray to date, keeping the song moving along like clockwork – or, given the circumstances, like Kraftwerk. Although it didn't blow up radio like "Stars" or "Magic" did, the fact it was never intended to proves that these giants can still see a bigger picture.
58. Sam Smith – Stay with Me
You know how we all wondered how Adele's ex-boyfriend felt after hearing 21? We pretty much just did the exact same thing for this fellow twenty-something Brit with a broken heart and a chart-smashing album. This served as his "Someone Like You," a torch ballad with enough fire within it to burn down a nearby village. His desperate pleas that filled out the song provoked some to smear him as a warbling miserablist, but the second Smith takes it to church with that chorus, there's clearly something greater going on here. A broken heart mends, and a star is born.
57. Georgia Maq – What Do You Mean (The Bank's Out of Money)
What do Tony Abbott, Heisenberg, Evan Dando and Bart Simpson have in common? Absolutely nothing – and it's precisely this that makes their collective inclusion in this sensationally-scatterbrained number so entertaining. Maq is, to put it lightly, not a fan of a singular idea guiding one song – she bounds through enough ideas to last most singer-songwriters a double album in the course of just under four minutes, from comedic misunderstandings to deeply-personal family matters. It's executed with aplomb, of course, and it's refreshing to come across anyone bandying about an acoustic to have an askew take on songwriting structure.
56. Hockey Dad – Seaweed
Most of Hockey Dad's songs sound as though they're intended for a picturesque light blue sky, green grass and the suburban pavement. By means of contrast, the sun has seemingly set on "Seaweed," which is the band's most restrained and, for lack of a better term, tender moment. It's the soundtrack to an endless summer coming to an end, the waves dropping back and the night taking its place. Rather than lower the collective morale, the song is a success on the terms that it showcases the band's unexpected versatility. Besides, the sun'll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar.
55. "Weird Al" Yankovic – Lame Claim to Fame
Were you to name all of Weird Al's biggest hits, you'd simply have to change the titles of other massive pop songs and go from there. How peculiar, then, that the best moment on his chart-topping comeback LP was an original. Taking cues from Southern Culture on the Skids, this cowbell-laden rocker lets Yankovic loose on the A-listers that he's kinda-sorta interacted with over the years. Rather than get relegated to the deep-cuts, "Lame Claim" is what one should lead with in order to prove the perennial parodist can still get a laugh out of you some thirty-odd years in.
54. Sun Kil Moon – Carissa
Spoiler alert: A lot of people die on Benji, the latest album from Sun Kil Moon. Like, a lot. Carissa is the first of them, a ne'er-do-well teen rebel turned suburban mother who loses her life in a shocking, unexpected way. It's all detailed by the low drawl of Mark Kozalek, whose uncle was her grandfather. With little more than a classical acoustic guitar, he takes us through his own grieving process; mostly involving the circumstances surrounding her death. It may not have been a pretty sight nor sound, but it made for some of the year's most compelling listening.
53. Brendan Maclean – Holy Shit
Population, Maclean's third EP, was essentially a whole lotta Jekyll-and-Hyde action. One minute, he's the parading electro-pop superstar of "Winner," the next he's the uncertain and visibly-struggling end of a frayed relationship on "Holy Shit." Maclean's return to the piano allowed him to take off the cape to reveal the mild-mannered reporter beneath, adding in warm harmonies and a tightly-percussive backbone to his rock-and-hard-place confusion. It's smart, honest and ranks among the finest songs he's ever written. Yes, he's the life of the party – but sometimes he's the girl crying in the "Stupid" video, and that's okay too.
52. Megan Washington – Limitless
Was there a more right-in-the-feels opening line this year than "There's a certain kind of lonely where you sleep in your jeans"? In a year full of revealing moments for the Brisbane-born singer-songwriter – a touching Australian Story, reverting to her real name to release music – "Limitless" proved to be one of the most resonant. Perhaps it was the icy synths or the tightly-wound drums guiding its pained lyrics, or perhaps the the echoing detour into the bridge. Whatever the case, Washington managed to find a method within her madness. Us jeans-sleepers are all the more grateful for it.
51. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Kira Kira Killer
It's growing increasingly difficult for us Westerners to get an idea as to what the hell is going on in the realm of Asian pop music. The only thing that we know is that we want more of it and we want more of it now. At once sounding like the final level of an adventure game and the theme song to the cutest show in the known universe, it's a task unto itself to properly describe what Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has got going for her. Her amazing technicolour dream-pop needs to be experienced first hand. Happy! Happy! Happy!
50. DZ Deathrays – Gina Works at Hearts
Sometimes, you'll hear a riff that's indicative of a band ready to take it to the next level, from "Buy Me a Pony" to "Covered in Chrome." The opening seconds of "Gina Works at Hearts" locked it in instantly – hell, even if the rest of the song was said riff, they'd have made it. Of course, there's a lot going on here – as much a sugar-rush of power-pop as it is a rip-snorting rock-radio champion, DZ get the best out of both worlds and stake out their territory intently and defiantly. Shit's very much about to get real.
49. Conor Oberst – Hundreds of Ways
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, as well as prick you just as sharply with its thorns. Whether he's a Monster of Folk, a Desaparecido or wandering through the Mystic Valley, Conor Oberst is still finding avenues in which to deliver his acutely-detailed world-watching. He's evolved substantially from LiveJournal-worthy angst into the man that stands before you, leading a parade of ironically-triumphant horns, cooing backing vocals and chirpy lead guitar through such damning lyrics as "I hope I am forgotten when I die." He may ramble on and on, but we're still in the procession.
48. Interpol – All the Rage Back Home
Perhaps we've been looking at Interpol wrong this entire time. While their albums have often been met with indecision, indifference and derision – particularly within the past ten years – there's something about the band's singles that have remained entirely agreeable as a sole constant. El Pintor was bound to set people up for disappointment, given the high expectations with which it was anticipated; but its lead off proved to be one of the finest moments the NYC natives have ever put to their names. At once a slow-motion swell and an urgent rush, "Rage" is a straightforward, singular beast.
47. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – Hot Wax
It's pretty safe to say that King Gizzard are the kind of band that are working on no-one's terms but theirs. Dropping two albums a year on average, the wonderfully-weird septet have kept audiences both simultaneously guessing their next move and standing back in awe of the miniature empire they have created. Then, of course, they'd drop "Hot Wax" and you'd be too busy shaking your hips to care about anything else. That beat! That harmonica howl! That bass! As you read this in the future, where they've presumably just released their twelfth album, remember this as a turning point.
46. Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea – Problem
There's a new diva in town, and the mainstream press has not let anyone go without hearing the news – Grande was the centre of several "investigative" pieces surrounding her behaviour at photo-shoots. Still, the pint-sized popster had bigger fish to fry, and that came in the form of a dynamic kiss-off taking place in a cold war between sax hooks and sub-bass booms. "Problem" was all business from its opening moments and refused to let up. You may well have tried to deny its place at the table, but this was never about you-ou-ouuuuu. Not good. Not great. Grande.
45. Ty Segall – The Singer
For a guy who's known for his bounding-off-the-walls energy (see his performances on Conan and that Chicago morning talk show), it's been strange to watch Ty Segall mellow out a little more as he edges closer to 30. Following on from an entirely-acoustic affair in 2013, Segall kept people guessing on his Manipulator LP, where a song presumably included as a breather between rockier numbers ended up being one a true career highlight. "The Singer" tripped the light fantastic and put particular emphasis on the latter. Rarely has "Sing/Sing louder" sounded less like a refrain and more like a mantra.
44. Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good
Sometimes, you gotta go back. Back when the uniform of the nation was blue jeans and a white t-shirt, your hometown was either your best friend or your worst enemy and the perfect Saturday night was out with your best girl. It's a time that Ryan Adams has ostensibly wound up in, and on paper it may well not make sense for a noted balladeer to draw such substantial influence from this style. Once the organ calls out beneath Adams' reverb-heavy guitar swagger, however, it's the equivalent of the puzzle pieces setting themselves into place. Consider that something good given.
43. Jon LaJoie – Please Use This Song
Taco may have wound up with the Sacko (last place) in this year's season of The League, but in most other respects, his portrayer took out the Shiva. Not only did he have a memorable casting in the guilty-pleasure hit Let's Be Cops, Sir LaJoie also took his brand of provocative parody work into the realm of what's commonly being referred to as "corporate indie" (Hi, Sheppard!). Even when taking the complete mickey out of the genre, he's done such a dead-on impression that he's inadvertently wound up as the king of it all. This is the right song, indeed.
42. Brody Dalle – Don't Mess with Me
We may be ten years removed from the demise of The Distillers, but their ghost is rattling around somewhere here. Of course, it helps that their fearless frontwoman is the mastermind behind it, but there's more to it: The first lady of rock hasn't sounded this menacing, guttural and flat-out tough since the days of Coral Fang all that time ago. Put it this way: Most bands would get laughed out of the room if they were to try out a refrain like this song's title. In Dalle's hands, you'll need a quick exit and a clean pair of pants.
41. Pinch Hitter – All of a Sudden
There aren't many worse places to start having a panic-induced existential crisis than on the strict confines of a plane. Still, Pinch Hitter managed to take the lemons given to them and make some of the sweetest lemonade possible. Part math-rock shuffle, part fluttering baroque pop explosion, "All of a Sudden" explored the greater possibilities of this unique double-banjo project and took its listeners along for the ride. A cameo from Jen Buxton and Jai "the new Terminator" Courtney reciting the brilliant refrain of "Everything's matter/Everything matters" take this song to a higher (pardon the pun) plane of existence. Incredible.

I was born in a small farm town called Paw Paw, Michigan. I lived in that area until I was ten. Some of my deepest memories come from that time in my life. My grandparents on my dad's side were Italian, on my mom's side French. So to say Sunday dinners made me who I am today is an understatement. Country Italian or Country French was our norm. Most of our food – our eggs, our meat – came from farm stands, while our fruit was all grown within miles of our home.
Fast forward to 2005, I found myself in a small village just outside of Nashville called Leiper's Fork. There have been a few restaurants that have come and gone some still here and I have liked them all. But recently, one has opened that has shaken me to my core.1892 is named after the year that the house they're based in is built. Chef Dylan Morrison is living out his dream with his very first restaurant – and what a restaurant it is.
The food is Country French, with his own twist; seared chicken with mushrooms and broccolini, braised lamb and black pepper gnocchi, just to name a few. All farm fresh, all farm to table. Even the decor reminds me of my grandma's house. It's small, only seating 32, and the kitchen is even smaller. But the food? I can't even begin to describe how good this food is, or the passion that goes into each plate. Sitting in the dining room brings back memories, from the feel of the wooden tabletops to the smells coming from the kitchen. It's funny how life always travels in circles and you somehow always find your way home.
When I was growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, it was a daily habit to jump on your bike and ride into town. I would pick up friends along the way and by the time we reached the Village Bakery we were starved for a sugar fix. I miss those days and I miss the small-town bakery. I am not sure why the south does not support bakeries, but as Nashville grows and people move in from all corners of the country, thankfully that is beginning to change.
One of my favourites is Dozen Bakery. From the outside, the building looks very modern, but as soon as I walk through the doors I am captured by all the smells I remember as a kid. Fresh breads of all kinds, some loaves still warm as they slide them into a paper bag. Cookies, pastries, cakes – all freshly made that day, most within hours. Baguettes warm with salted butter or maybe made into a sandwich with a salmon spread and a salad. Yes, you can sit and have lunch – or you can just run home to devour. There is a feeling of comfort when you walk through their doors, a feeling of warmth and home. I can't jump on my bike and be there in 10 minutes – but trust me, it's worth the 45 minute drive.
I love food, I love culture, I love diversity, and there is one place where I can wander and soak up all three: the Nashville Farmers' Market. It's open seven days a week, rain or shine, and it has an international food court to die for.
At any given time, if I find myself bored or in the need of a culture fix, you will find me here. I walk, I look, I touch, I taste. I'm always in search of a face or a creative culinary thought. I have come home from here with bags of dinner ideas, plus a candid portrait or two. This is one place that never lets me down. I love to talk with the farmers; you can learn a lot about a tomato over a ten minute conversation. I can stop in the Indian market and get tea; I can have a bowl of goat stew at the Jamaican restaurant. I have come home with a cactus; I have come home with a bag of tube socks.
It's a market just like many around the world, a market catering to a community. There have been days were I have just stopped in to grab something quick and there have been days where I am there for hours. You can always run into the local chefs in the morning, all looking for just the right ingredient for a meal. And in the summer on Friday nights you can stop by to just hang out and listen to some live music, drink a beer or two and dine at a great food truck. Yes, I would have to say it has it all – even tube socks.
I have toured with rock stars, crisscrossing this country more than once. I have shared so many meals standing over a garbage can with line cooks and chefs in their kitchens. Rock stars on stage or chefs standing over a hot flame: that is where I am at peace.
One day my good friend Cooper Lynn Hayes call me to have lunch and take some photos at the historic and haunted Skulls Rainbow Room. Tucked away in an ally in downtown Nashville, it is a step back in time. The dark wood, dim lighting and black and white checkerboard stage have hosted the likes of Dylan, McCartney and many more. Decadent French cuisine, top-shelf bourbon and the constant sound of jazz fills the room. By nine, the dinner crowd starts to fade away and the bar begins to fill with a crowd. By ten, it's standing room only, with a line down the alley, while upstairs – in a colorful gypsy-style dressing room – Cooper has transformed into Madam Hazel Jones.
With her dancers pressed to mirrors, fishnets pulled tight, and just one last gaze to make sure their coloured lips are just right, the show starts. The band hits a downbeat and the sound of heels finding their way down the stairs fills your ears. The smell of perfume follows them down. One or two have one last smoke in the alley as the door opens, while I enter and fight my way through the crowd to find my place near the stage. The energy, the colours, the sounds, the sexual tension – it's like a drug. When the last dancer heads back up the stairs I find my bourbon and make my way back to hang with the cooks. I have found my peace.
There is a stretch of road that runs south out of Nashville called Nolensville Road. It is a stretch of about 10 miles of the most cultural and diverse group that I have ever seen. You have Middle Eastern restaurants, an Indian grocery store, Chinese markets and Ethiopian coffee shops, side by side. The colours of the buildings are a photographer's dream. I love it, from visiting the Mexican dress shop with the bakery in back to sipping spiced tea with all the Ethiopian cab drivers.
My very favourite stop on Nolensville road is Taqueria Mexico. You can't miss it, all you have to do is look for the smoke rising above the red, pink and blue store fronts. As you pull in, most likely there will be a line of cars all waiting for someone to come and take their order. I can't ever sit and wait, I have to get in – I have to smell the chicken cooking on the open fire, I have to try to talk to the smiling ladies stirring the pot of tamales wrapped in banana leaves. They always smile; they always give me a taste.
It takes me forever to order but that's ok, I'm never in a hurry. Most times I come here alone; if I bring someone they have to understand my passion and be willing to just enjoy the moment – take in all the smells, taste everything. They have space to sit inside but I never do, I have to stand eating with the cooks, watching them smile and laugh as I become so emotionally attached to their food. When I am done, I order the same meal to take home for another time.

Q: Using .annotate() and extra() together in django It seems i cannot use annotate and extra together when making a queryset
This
discussions = game.gamediscussion_set.filter(reply_to=None).annotate(up_votes = Count('userUpVotes'), down_votes=Count('userDownVotes')).extra(select={'votes':"'userUpVotes' - 'userDownVotes'"}).order_by('votes')

returns
Caught Warning while rendering: Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value: 'userUpVotes'

I want to add both userUpVotes and userDownVotes together to get a 'votes' field, then order by this field.
userUpVotes is a related ManyToManyField of users (as is userDownVotes). So i need to count these first.
Any ideas?

A: This sort of thing is a lot easier if you store votes in the same table or column, with a value of +1 for an up vote and -1 for a down vote. You can still easily count the number of up or down votes with a simple filter, calculate the total number of votes with a simple count, and calculate the total score with the sum aggregate.
Sample code for storing votes in a separate table.
CHOICES = {
    1: 'UP',
    -1: 'DOWN'
}

class Vote(models.Model):
    user = models.ForiegnKey(User) # prevent ballot stuffing
    game = models.ForiegnKey(Game)
    vote = models.IntegerField(choices=CHOICES)

total_up_votes = Vote.objects.filter(game=GAME_INSTANCE).filter(vote=1).count()
total_votes = Vote.objects.filter(game=GAME_INSTANCE).count()
total_score = Vote.objects.filter(game=GAME_INSTANCE).aggregate(total=Sum('vote'))

total_score will be a dict: {'total': }

Additionally, even when the public is informed, a surprisingly low number of folks exposed to arsenic in water and meals take action to decrease exposure [29, 30]. Many recent highprofile articles in Customer Reports on the presence of arsenic in rice and ricebased goods as well as comprehensive print and Television coverage on studies identifying significant amounts of arsenic in some ricebased toddler formulas have raised awareness [43, 44]. Even so, much more function demands to become accomplished to make the public aware on the presence of arsenic within the water and meals supply, and new tactics should be created to convince government agencies to set standards and to convince the public to take action to minimize arsenic exposure. In January 205, the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Committee on Nutrition created quite a few suggestions on consuming rice and rice based goods for infants and young kids including: Arsenic intake must be as low as possible, and rice drinks should really be avoided, (2) Regulations need to be set and enforced for arsenic in foods and drinks containing rice products, and (three) For rice based formulas for infants with cows' milk protein allergies, the arsenic content ought to be stated and the dangers associated with consuming these formulas really should be declared [53]. The Committee also stated that a lot more data are needed to establish the arsenic content of a number of foods, also because the influence of arsenic in food on public health to create evidence primarily based recommendations concerning the acceptable arsenic content material in various foods [53]. Taken together these recent research determine water and food, Tubastatin-A especially rice and ricebased items and apple juice, as substantial sources of arsenic exposure. PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26985301 While small investigation has been published around the overall health effects of arsenic ingested in food, compared to arsenic ingested in drinking water, in an abundance of caution it really is affordable to recommend that dietary arsenic should be reduced. However, quite a few farmers usually do not have access to arsenicfree water and soils to grow rice, and also a majority of people worldwide needs to consume rice. We anticipate that innovations in water therapy, identification of arsenic cost-free water sources, the improvement of new approaches in genetics, microbiology, and agriculture and also cooking practices will lessen, and we hope ultimately, get rid of, arsenic from drinkin.

On after they occurred. In Element two, we expanded our method in three strategies. First, we asked participants at the finish of their first term to provide global summary reports of their lives considering the fact that beginning college. Such reports reflect the participants' lifeJ Pers Soc Psychol. Author manuscript; readily available in PMC 204 August 22.Srivastava et al.Pageassessments and evaluations integrated more than time and they are able to as a result have critical implications not captured by online reports, producing them an important and complementary supply of information and facts (Wirtz, Kruger, Scollon, Diener, 2003). Second, we supplemented selfreports using the reports of peers who knew the participants properly. Selfreports provide a direct window into individuals' perceptions of their MedChemExpress Dimethylenastron social world. Wellacquainted peers who've observed the individual inside a wide range of social settings supply a crucial further point of view around the individual's social adjustment. Self and peerreports every supply valid but complementary details (Vazire Mehl, in press). Third, the collection of peer reports permitted us to assess another domain of social functioning, likability, which can be hard to assess with selfreports. Offered that Component showed suppression to be connected with significantly less social assistance, less closeness to others, and lower social satisfaction, we expected to reproduce those patterns applying summary reports at the end on the term. We expected such patterns to be evident in both self and peer reports. In addition, we examined likability, as rated by peers. Whereas social support, closeness to others, and social satisfaction reflect direct PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25356867 partnership outcomes, the extent to which a person is liked by other individuals reflects the individual's impact on other people. Individuals can elicit good reactions from other people without necessarily forming close interpersonal bonds. Prior study suggests that suppression just isn't related to evaluative impressions (Gross John, 2003), and even though we anticipated suppression to impair relationship outcomes, we didn't necessarily count on suppressors to become disliked by other people. Process Participants and Attrition within the EndQuarter AssessmentsThe 278 participants from Aspect were invited to complete an endquarter assessment. Simply because we anticipated competing time demands on participants from final exams and other obligations, we designed a really brief assessment together with the aim of attaining a respectable response price. 204 (73 ) with the original Aspect participants agreed to participate and completed the selfreport section from the endquarter assessment. To examine attrition effects, we compared these endquarter participants using the nonparticipants on suppression at each and every with the two earlier assessments and located no differences; the correlations with participation (vs. nonparticipation) were each under .05 and neither was even close to significance, ps .23. In an effort to achieve additional insight and corroboration of social consequences, the participants who completed the endofterm selfreports also nominated up to 3 men and women who knew them nicely and supplied names and addresses where we could make contact with these peers. We then mailed paper questionnaires with a postagepaid return envelope to the peers. Peer nominations might be solicited only in the participants who agreed to participate in the endquarter selfreport assessment; at least 1 peer report was obtained for 43 of those participants (70 ).

Tandard for arsenic from 50 to 0 gL, and established the target of zero arsenic in drinking water. On January 23, 2006 the state of New Jersey lowered the acceptable levels of arsenic in all drinking water, both public and private, to five gL, the lowest arsenic drinking water regular on the planet. Sadly, within the U.S authority below the federal Protected Drinking Water Act is limited to public, not private, drinking water systems and so, a big quantity of persons living in rural and suburban regions with wells stay exposed to levels Potassium clavulanate:cellulose (1:1) supplier greater than 0 gL. For instance, around 43 million Americans drink properly water plus the Usa Geological Survey (USGS) has estimated that 3 million folks inside the U.S. are exposed to properly water with arsenic concentrations exceeding 0 gL [257]. Furthermore, despite the fact that public water supplies serving more than 25 people are required to supply water containing 0 gL of arsenic, as of 204 about 500 rural public utilities are in violation [28]. In some towns in Maine as a lot of as 60 of private wells include higher levels of arsenic (0 gL, and in some wells levels are as higher as 3,00 gL) from naturally occurring sources, exposing roughly 30,000 people to arsenic that exceeds EPA and WHO requirements [3,29, 30]. In components of New Hampshire 20 to 50 of private wells have arsenic levels greater than 0 gL [34]. Other states within the U.S. with unusually higher arsenic levels in effectively water incorporate Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North and South Dakota, Oregon, Texas and Vermont, and arsenic concentrations in nicely water in these states has been measured even at levels higher than ,000 gL, that is similar to levels found in Bangladesh [24, 35, 36, 37]. Blood levels of arsenic as much as 8 gL have already been measured inside a rural North Carolina population indicating substantial exposure to arsenic [38]. Despite the fact that most epidemiological research happen to be performed in populations exposed at considerably high arsenic PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22003069 levels in drinking water, quite a few recent studies recommend that even lowlevel exposure to arsenic increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease, bladder and lung cancer, and all round mortality not just in Southeast Asia [39], but additionally in U.S. populations [2, 8]. Though most focus has been traditionally paid to chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic by means of drinking water, recent research have referred to as attention to important human exposure to arsenic in food, most notably via consumption of some rice and ricebased products [3, 2, 20, 24, 40]. Application of pesticides containing arsenic by cotton, tobacco, grape and apple growers inside the South Central U.S. inside the 950s has resulted in accumulation of low levels of arsenic in treated soils [49, 52, 59, 62, 63]. Food plants, such as rice, that take in and accumulate arsenic, both naturally occurring and anthropogenic, in the soil pose possible overall health risks to humans who consume them on a regular basis [7, 45, 48, 50, 5, 64]. A current study suggests that arsenic exposure in food is usually a important supply of all round exposure. Evaluation on the U.S. National Wellness and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database revealed that for folks drinking water 0 gL inorganic arsenic, total exposure to arsenic is 246 gday, with approximately 30 of intake from meals [47].

A person's sense of "homelessness" might be understood as both
A person's sense of "homelessness" is usually understood as both individual and relational Elagolix particularly illuminated in the way their subjective experiences have been felt to become placed inside the background in the clinical encounters. Let us, thus, return for the women's accounts of these "problematic" situations, with particular emphasis on their attempts to resist the "psychological explanation." Throughout the interviews, the ladies repeatedly emphasized how they firmly believed that their challenges had been caused by the surgery. By far the most common "explanation" that they gave throughout the interviews was that their "hormone balance" had been profoundly altered through the procedure. Upon looking for support inside the health service, having said that, the females repeatedly experienced how their troubles had been interpreted as signs of depression and possibly fibromyalgia. Our findings, thereby, underscore the point created by Svenaeus (2000, pp. 5354) regarding the clinical encounter as a meeting of two distinctive life worlds with separate horizons. The doctor's planet, in accordance with Svenaeus, is mostly one of disease, although the patient's world is among lived illness (p. 54). Svenaeus is critical toward the clinical encounter as a merely scientific investigation exactly where the medical doctor searches for scientific truths. He sees the clinical encounter among patient and medical doctor as an "interpretive meeting" exactly where science is an integrated portion, but not its accurate substance. To enhance the patient's sense of homelikenesswhich he points out should be the principle concentrate on the clinical2 number not for citation objective) (pageCitation: Int J Qualitative Stud Wellness Wellbeing 200; five: 5553 DOI: 0.3402qhw.v5i4.Living with chronic troubles following fat loss surgery encounterhe emphasizes the significance of a dialogue where the patient's lived experiences are placed within the foreground. On top of that, Svenaeus emphasizes the importance of mutual trust and respect so that a overall health promoting dialogue can take place (pp. 5057). Charlene's experiences illustrate how the surgeons did not appear really "dialogic." Rather, it seems to become a case of scientific examination, given their concentrate on healthcare screenings, aimed at searching for pathological signs that could explain her difficulties. Our point by problematizing this instance is usually to highlight how pathological complications in the viscera were not visible on either the CT or MR screenings. Additionally, the surgeon's labeling of her complications as psychological contributed towards the intensification of Charlene's sense of illness. Therefore, one particular could argue that the discrepancy among the patient's perceptions plus the surgeon's conclusions exacerbated her sense of homelessness. In accordance with Swedish historian PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19656058 Johannison (996), the social tendency to show women's issues as "psychological" is often traced back to the early 9th century. In her book The Dark Continent, she illuminates how healthcare technology contributed to legitimizing distinct illness models applying to ladies. By portraying girls as far more gendered and bodily than menmaking use of biological arguments claiming that they had a additional fragile nervous systemmedicine legitimized a view of lady because the second (weaker) sex.

Nhyun Choi, et alFig. 3. Author distributions based on the coauthorship pattern. Upper major five, lower other hospitals. Large five showed bell shaped Gaussian distribution while the other hospitals showed power law distribution. A, st radiation oncology (RO) single author; B, st RO a number of author single institution; C, st RO several authors various institutions; D, st RO various authors single institution; E, st RO various authors various institutions.. Author's network evaluation For the network evaluation, we analyzed ,35 articles excluding the singleauthor articles along with the journals from KJMP. We excluded KJMP for the reason that these journals were published within a quick period of time and developed the network also excessively taking into consideration its number of articles published . Within this study, an author as well as a coauthorship have been defined as a node and also a network (Fig. 4). A centrality of your distinct node represents the index of centralization degree where a performer is located within a network. The closeness centrality is defined as how a node is close to other nodes. The betweenness centrality shows how a node acts as an intermediary to kind a network with other nodes . A centrality is often categorized into an outdegree and an indegree too. Basically, an outdegree centrality indicates the path of it towards outside, and, within the field of coauthorship, it represents the degree of the very first author's tendency to collaborate with coauthors. Likewise, the indegree centrality suggests the degree of an author's tendency participated as PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24367704 a coauthor. Between 990 and 200, the percentage of network outdegree centrality amongst authors have been four.26 in average (ranges between two.03 and 7.09 ), and the indegree centrality was .3 (variety, 0.53 to 2.84 ) (Table four). Choi, Eun Kyung was the important node for the period between 99 and 995, Kim, Dae Young was from 998 to 200, and Park, won and Lee, Sang Wook had been from 2003 to 200. The author in the highest degree in centrality was Choi, Eun Kyung and Kim, Dae Young who had been selected two instances. From the crucial player analysis, Choi, Eun Kyung and Lee, Sang Wook had been chosen two instances, and ranked because the highest degree (Table 4). We found a significant difference in 68 eroj.orgthe centralization index in between the 5 big hospitals and other folks (Table five). The number of invited situations to be the first author from the major 5 hospitals, published more than 00 analysis journals, was 5.28 and fairly higher than other institutions, showed its number as 3.86. Likewise, the case of invited as a coauthor had the value of .02, and it was greater than other individuals of 0.38. In addition, it was .6 and .two for the outdegree along with the indegree contribution level per node in the big hospitals respectively, which have been significantly larger than the one's in other hospitals which had the level of 0.92 and 0.96 . two. Author's cluster evaluation An author's cluster was performed by a clique analysis of UCINET 6.0. From the analysis, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul National University, and Yonsei University revealed as the three substantial clusters when Ulsan University, Chonnam National University, and Korea Institute of Radiological Medical Science have been the medium clusters (Fig. five). The networks of authors from other institutions have been not significant enough to form a cluster. and ConclusionThe coauthorship network is definitely an interrelationship amongst scientists who copublished a MedChemExpress Tramiprosate journal and formed a structure of know-how system.

Intriguingly,even so,it was shown that in yeast cells,a replication fork continues to move even though its sister fork is halted or terminated as a consequence of a DNA doublestrand break (Doksani et al Similarly,within yeast rDNA regions,halting of a replication fork by a replicationfork barrier didn't quit or slow down the progression of its sister fork (Brewer and Fangman ; Linskens and Huberman. Taken with each other,when a replication fork is stalled upon the encounter on a nearby replication obstacle,its sister can behave independently. Therefore,there may be a mechanism that senses a stalled replication fork and uncouples it functionally from its sister fork (Herrick and Bensimon.Are there any other functional consequences or advantages of the association of sister replisomes An additional probable benefit is to stay away from only a half of a replicon becoming replicated. When a replication origin is unwound and replication forks are generated,the origin loses its capability to initiate replication,which calls for preRC formation at the origin in eukaryotes (see "Introduction") plus the origin methylation on each DNA strands in bacteria (Boye et al For that reason,a half replicon may well fail to replicate if one particular replisome could initiate with no waiting for the other replisome to be loaded onto the origin. If avoidance of this dilemma is usually a key advantage of related sister replisomes,this association might not be needed after both of them commence DNA replication from an origin. Indeed,at the very least in bacterium E. coli,sister replisomes separate sh.

Robert William White, tied and handcuffed on a stair chair, yells the word of God to onlookers as he is wheeled out of an apartment he barricaded himself in after allegedly assaulting a 77-year-old woman with a shovel on Spazier Avenue.
A 20-year-old man was arrested Thursday after he struck an elderly woman with a shovel and then barricaded himself inside his apartment, police said. It took a rubber bullet and Taser before officers were finally able to subdue him.
The man, Robert William White of Glendale, sat handcuffed in a chair yelling "God loves all you" several times to bystanders as paramedics carried him out of his apartment building in the 1000 block of Spazier Avenue in Glendale and transported him to a nearby hospital. He admitted to police that he had been drinking soda with bath salts in it.
"He seemed completely out of sorts," said Northwest Glendale Police Lt. Bruce Fox.
White barricaded himself inside his apartment for nearly an hour until police opened his front door using a key and walked inside to get him, Fox said.
Police were initially called to the scene about noon after getting reports that White had tried to kill the woman in a nearby apartment building.
Witnesses told police that the woman, whose age could not immediately be confirmed, had asked White to stop swinging his shovel at birds before he allegedly used it to strike her in the head.
White ran to his apartment and barricaded himself inside before police arrived, prompting the nearly hourlong standoff.
Resident Abraham Cabrera said he was inside his home vacuuming when he heard White screaming profanities, threatening to kill someone and breaking glass.
During the incident, police heard White talk about being an alien and being able to speak with Jesus, Fox said.
White was screaming incoherently and "not following orders," he added. He also allegedly swung twice at an officer, but his punches were blocked.
Police shot him with a 40mm rubber bullet in an attempt to get him to comply, but he continued to refuse orders, Fox said. Officers followed up with a Taser, subduing him enough to make the arrest.


I walked into my 9 am class today and my professor told us that he was gonna end class early today because he had to go to the site where a house that he has designed is in the process of being built. He told us that we could go with him and look at the progress if we wanted to, so my friend and I decided to go~ The house is located in the mountains of Hollywood and it's beautiful. It's been so incredibly hot here in LA today...we were melting while standing up there, but it was worth it. The house is designed so that A/C is not necessary. Even though it was super hot outside, the inside of the house was cool and breezy. My favorite part of the house was the "backyard". There are stairs that go all the way up the mountain that the house sits on. All the way at the top, there is a hiking trail! It was very narrow and my friend and I were scared of falling down, but we managed...especially after seeing the incredible view.
My feet were burning up.

Let's dispense with the idea that atheist billionaire George Soros is a "Jewish philanthropist" and that he can't be criticized. Soros was the moneybags behind Barack Hussein Obama. Read my piece: Obama's Master George Soros: Supporting America's Enemies at Home and Abroad. Soros is a parasitic hedge fund operator whose Open Society Foundations have spent more than $14 billion to transform the United States and destabilize Western nations. They are spending $1 billion this year.
President Obama said on Friday this election is the most important in a generation.
Obama's debt to the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, is another scandal that was concealed. We now know that this relationship was covered-up for 13 years, only to surface publicly in 2018 when a photograph of Obama and Farrakhan together was published. It came out that Farrakhan's organization was involved in Obama's campaign for the state Senate in Illinois before he ran for president. Askia Muhammad, former head of the Washington office of the Nation of Islam's official newspaper, The Final Call, said that a "staff member" for the Congressional Black Caucus contacted him "sort of in a panic" after he took the photo at a meeting in 2005. This led to the cover-up.
Dubbed "Black America's most controversial and popular Muslim" by his Final Call newspaper, Farrakhan is a black separatist and anti-Semite who blames the white man for black problems and was a friend of anti-American regimes in Iran and Cuba. A fan of Paul Robeson, the secret Communist Party member, Farrakhan had praised killer Winnie Mandela, dubbed the "Mother" of the "Rainbow Nation" of South Africa.
The Nation of Islam believes white people were created by a mad scientist named Yakub and constitute an inferior race of people. The movement has its own interpretation of Islam and was founded by Elijah Muhammad, who wrote, The Fall of America, in which he talked about the "Mother Plane" or "wheel" -- a flying saucer -- being a message from God.
Once again, however, we had the truth in advance, as conservative black businessman Zubi Diamond said at an America's Survival, Inc. conference back in 2011, "Barack Obama is Louis Farrakhan and Karl Marx rolled into one." It was a statement proven true by events.
The mid-term elections pit Obama against Trump.
Democrats are set to spend $143 million on television advertising in House races, compared with $86 million for Republicans… Democratic super PACs and other outside groups are poised to outspend their Republican counterparts by a wide margin, erasing an advantage Republicans planned on having.

Chesapeake bishop starts petition for NFL to require standing during National Anthem
By: Kelly Rule
CHESAPEAKE, Va. - NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a stand against the National Anthem has been talked about, debated, and repeated for weeks since his protest made headlines.
"Having the military insulted, having our country insulted, by some spoiled 19 million dollar a year sports celebrity? That's too much."
Now a Chesapeake bishop is offering a new take that he feels should put the issue to rest.
Bishop E. W. Jackson started an online petition calling on the NFL to require all football players and employees to stand in respect of the National Anthem and American flag.
"We have things in my country I don't agree with, but I don't agree with those issues, so I address those issues, I don't denigrate the flag and denigrate the country," says Bishop Jackson. "Instead of unifying us, he has divided us."
He says he feels Kaepernick's refusal to stand, for reasons surrounding black oppression and police brutality, could have been addressed head on with police.
"If there's an instance of police brutality that's shown, that's proved, I am with you, punish that police officer, I don't think there's an American that would say anything different," he says. "I think there's plenty of Americans that would say this is not the way to do it."
However, would a new NFL policy be a violation of the constitution?
Service Officer Joe Brady at the VFW 392 in Virginia Beach says many veterans, including himself, do not agree with what Kaepernick is doing, but he also wouldn't agree with a rule to make them stand.
"That's what America's all about, freedom," he says. "If you want to sit down, I don't like it. I think it's disrespectful, but again, it's your constitutional right."
Bishop Jackson says the NFL has strictly enforced topics like dress code. He feels if that does not violate freedom of speech, this should not either.
"Let's be consistent and let's not allow people to denigrate the flag, at least not at games and in stadiums where NFL games are played."
