The two grinding wheels ensure zero overheating and therefore the full aroma is preserved. The upper grinding wheel is removable for ease of cleaning.
The 18 settings on the adjustable grinding wheels allow total control on the grind setting, for a truly custom coffee grind.
The LCD display shows the grind settings, the number of cups and the desired aroma for full control of the machine functions.
Choose how much coffee you wish to grind: from one cup to fourteeen cups.


James Yuncken returns to fortyfivedownstairs with Places Nearby; an exhibition that captures scenes of inner Melbourne at a time in its history when self-confidence is flowering like perhaps never before.
The cultural cringe is in recession and we have attained a level of sophistication and maturity that is starting to measure up. Gone is the necessity to flee this city in the search.
Places Nearby is James' perspective on that Melbourne, from places near where he lives and works, reflecting that new-found self-confidence.

Could you tell us a bit about yourself, what you sell at A Gilded Leaf and how you got started?
My name is Isabelle, and I am a co-founder of A Gilded Leaf. We sell minimal, classic essential fine jewelry, which includes rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets in our collection. We specialize in engagement rings and wedding rings, with and without diamonds and precious and semi-precious stones.
Having worked in a corporate setting in NYC for some time, we often had a hard time finding accessories that matched our "dress to impress" outfits, especially if there were work/social parties that followed. We found that our peers often were in the same predicament. So in 2015, we started our company with a mission to provide quality fine jewelry at affordable prices.
Our designs are inspired by the working woman, the everyday boss, the ladies who handle business by day and home by night. From custom-designed engagement rings to colorful everyday rings, we use nothing but quality materials for our jewelry. If someone is shopping for an engagement ring, they're going to be looking at it for a long time. We want people to love it years down the road just as much as they did the day they bought it.
At first we took inspiration from Pinterest boards and Instagram posts and saw what was popular and trendy. At the time, we didn't know any better and thought that if we made what was popular, people would just come. We learned that that was not the case.
Since then, we've started to develop and roll-out collections, versus a product that stands by itself. For example, when we create a line of engagement rings, we have to develop a collection of wedding bands to match each one.
Definitely through word of mouth. With zero prior experience in sales and very little capital to launch our business, we decided to reach out to our network of family and friends. After all, these were people who wanted to see us succeed.
The biggest lesson I learned was that there are a lot of things you can do yourself, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. After launching, we spent the next few months tweaking the site, fixing and re-fixing product photos, writing and re-writing copy, and doing all those tasks that take a lot of time but must be done.
It doesn't sound like much, but it takes a substantial toll on time. The thing is, if we had hired someone to do these things, it would maybe have cost around $1,000, but we would have been months ahead of schedule and had a much more professional appearance from the start.
So figure out what you're good at, do those things, and get help with the rest.
Since we run our business online as a direct-to-consumer brand (less markups!), the ability to create a clean, easy-to-navigate, and pretty website that didn't take much customization has been imperative to our success.
Having worked with Shopify in our previous job, sticking with the platform was a no-brainer. It's user friendly, and the gurus are wonderful.
Unfortunately, just because you have a website, doesn't mean people will know about it. When we first started, there were long stretches of $0 days, making us second-guess our efforts and wonder if we were doing the right thing.
My advice would be to start your marketing strategy when you're in the beginning stages. It's really as simple as sharing your page with friends and family. It doesn't need to take months of planning to get something built and to start getting traction.
* Shippo - for mailing labels and invoice creation.
* Tracktor by ShopPad – for allowing our customers to track the status of their order. All of our jewelry is made to order, and can take anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks. This app makes it easy for us to mark where we are in its production stage.
What strategies have you used to attract more leads and grow A Gilded Leaf?
We started on the organic side, reaching out to our network of friends and family. Now our traffic comes mostly from social media, though we are still working towards audience growth. Lately, we've seen an uptick in followers when we're working with influencers who share the same target audience.
In our mission for transparency, we definitely try to give our customers as much information as we can, even if they haven't asked for it. There's a lot of value in an informed customer - communication keeps customers engaged and educated, which sparks repeat business. So we'll email them, we'll call them, we'll text them if we have to.
Our business was founded in 2015, but officially launched in 2016. Over the last couple of years, we have seen our numbers increase steadily. From 2016 to 2018, we've seen an increase of almost 6x in revenue. This was due to a 45% increase in store visits and a 42% increase in order volume.
One thing we can attribute our growth to is hard work and our willingness to keep at it. We have faith in our products and our customers. We truly believe that what we make and provide is quality fine jewelry and we stand by our mission.
2018 has been a busy year so far because we have just launched our engagement ring collection, with plans to grow next year! We're no Tiffany's, or Blue Nile, or even James Allen, but the difference between those big companies and us is that we hand-make all our jewelry in-house in our NYC studio. The whole process, from start to finish, is cared and handled by our own hands.

Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle. I do this all the time. I think "wow. they are so amazing and so successful, why am I not there?" And then I remember that they have been doing it for many years and have a whole team behind them.
Never compare yourself to brands/companies that are at a different stage. It is discouraging and not productive. Instead, be willing to put in the work. I think one of the key characteristics entrepreneurs need is grit. Owning a business is gritty and messy and you just have to be willing to do that work.
Running a business is a marathon, not a sprint. So it's important to take care of yourself and make sure you're fit to be in it for the long-haul.

I've had lots of questions about my swimsuits and dresses that I've been posting on instgram since we got to Hawaii so here's a roundup of everything I've worn and where you can find them!
If you have any good restaurant recs in Maui let us know! We have our favorites we always go to (Duke's, Kimo's Mama Fish House) but we're wanting to try something new!!
Also- thank you all so much for all the sweet comments you leave on my instagram and blog. I'm so grateful for your continued support, it truly means the world to me. Have a happy Monday!!!
Hawaiii looks gorgeous, hope you are having an amazing time! And thanks for linking all your swimwear, I have been on the hunt for a great one piece!
I am so jealous of your Hawaiian vacations and your beachwear! So cute!
Have you done breakfast at Gazebo? It's pretty small so your group might have to do takeout! The breakfast fried rice is to die for! 5 Palms is great, I LOVE Cool Kat for a more casual lunch/dinner. Leoda's is amazing too!
Rach, you have a lot of cute suits, so does little Isla!… It looks like you are having an amazing time in Hawaii! I think it would be awesome if you visited other blogs sometime. Especially those who continuously support you!
I have no recommendations for Maui, as I've only been to Oahu… but I hope the rest of your trip is a blast!
Nicks Fishmarket! Beautiful views and amazing food. Also, the Monkeypod is really great and casual so it's great for kids!
I've been following along on Instagram and Snapchat…looks like y'all are having such a wonderful family vacation!
What a fun trip. Hawaii is so pretty and I definitely can't wait for summer!
Your vacation looks like so much fun! You and Isla are the cutest beach duo!
Hope you are having a wonderful time! Love all your outfit pictures!
I love all these looks! I am getting some ideas for our destination wedding next year in Maui. I would recommend Merriman's in Kapalua, they have a gorgeous sunset cocktail hour and the food is supposed to be great.
Your bathings suits are awesome, and you look great, mama! We love Lahaina Grill for a nice dinner out, and Lahaina Pizza Co. has the best pizza and prettiest view. Have a blast!
All of these pieces are spectacular.
forgot to mention I hope you're having a great time in Maui with your family- I'm living vicariously through your pics as I await my annual trip to Hawaii. Enjoy!
I'm loving all of your suits! That is for sharing the deets.
I'm loving all of your suits! Thanks for sharing the deets.
Love all your looks. I am shopping now for a trip to Florida, will see what I can snag up! Thanks so much!
Leoda's cafe is AMAZING for lunch and Monkeypod in Wailea is also fantastic!! Hope you have a great time!
Super cute love them all! Thanks for sharing babe! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Sending loves!
and Leoda's are great! Casual atmosphere, great food!
I swear, you pick out the best bathing suits!! Thanks for sharing all of them.
We have been to all the restaurants you mention, but you must try Merriman's Kapalua. So, so good – right on the water and amazing view. Reserve for right at sunset…beautiful. This was one of our favorites when we were there for New Years.
Another restaurant that we loved, which surprised us, is Star Noodle in Lahaina. We were looking for something more casual, relaxed and less expensive. It was really good and we would definitely go back. It is very busy and a little small so definitely make a reservation. Get the pork buns and then share a bunch of yummy entrees.
I love the Maryisa swimsuit! The scallops and cutout make it so unique! Looks like an amazing trip!
I'm obsessed with that white dress! You look gorgeous!
We went to Fleetwoods when we were there on our Honeymoon and loved it! They also have a rooftop with live music and a more casual dining/drinks setting. But the food in the dining room at Fleetwoods was better than our dinner at Kimos! I also heard Hanu and Mala are good.
I love all of your bathing suits! We're going on a cruise in a few months, and I think I'm going to have to buy a couple of these!
Lahaina Grill is a sweet little spot – the design might be a bit better than the food… But the food is still delish! Very romantic and lovely spot close to where you are!
I love the last swimsuit. The colour and the cut are perfect!
I loooove Hawaii, have you try the Sansei in kapalua, delicious and good ambiance.
Love the white dress! So pretty!
Absolutely ADORE the black wrap swimsuit! So different and pretty!
Girl you are making me want to go back to Hawaii ASAP! And Isla is such a cutie!
We LOVE Monkeypod Kitchen! Cool and casual. Everything on the menu is delicious. Star Noodle is small, but the Asian Fusion food is to die for.
Try MonkeyPod Kitchen – it's amazing! Kid friendly, too!
If you haven't tried Paia Fish Market. It's worth it. Don't let the looks fool you….very rustic but the fish is SO good. Another must for me is Sansei. If you like sushi, you'll love it here.
Couple more I forgot. Last year we loved Hula Grill. It looks so touristy but the food is great. Seahouse up in Kapalua is a favorite for b'fast or lunch. We love Pineapple Grill up there too and have had wonderful dinners/b'fast. Finally, no visit to Maui is complete for me without dinner at Merriman's.
I suggest you guys try Nobu! I have not been to the one in Maui but I have been to the Malibu location. The food is amazing!!
Beautiful photos! Enjoy your holiday, Rachel!
Ahh I'm so in love with Hawaii :) You have the best swimsuits, too!
Looks like a wonderful family trip and of course you two look amazing!
love all of your vacation clothes! especially the dress from revolve!
Love all of your swimsuit selections! Black is always a classic! And the pops of color just makes things all the better!
A few of my favorites are Merrimans, Spago, any of Bev Gannon's restaurants, Monkeypod, Paia Fish Market (lunch spot), and of course Mamas (my favorite).
Gorgeous swimsuits! I love all of bright colours & classic yet interesting cuts!
You have to try the gazebo! Its up in Napili and seems weird.. I am pretty sure it is the restaurant to a little hotel up there. Go for breakfast and get the pancakes (try all the flavors and share with each other) My favorite is the white chocolate macadamia nut- you haven't lived until you have tried one! I swear its the food we will eat in heaven! Not kidding. haha! There is also a great beach in a Napili with great rentals body surfing and snorkeling- all those little kiddos would love it! We always see turtles in February up there. There is also an awesome blowhole and "love rock" in that area that I am sure you would love! WE LOVE MAUI! Especially in February!
Such cute shots – making me baby hungry! You are a hot mama, keep kicking booty!
Love all the swimsuits. The black one is gorgeous!
Go to Leoda's! The mini pies are to die for!
Oh, and Monkeypod in Wailea is amazing too!
Love all your bathing suits! Isla looks so happy to be in the water!
I am so happy you posted this! I have been LOVING everything you have put on instagram & your snaps too! You have the cutest little family! One of our favorites in Maui is Star Noodle- best asian food you will ever taste. Its a small place so definitely call ahead for reservations! Have so much fun!!!
I love seeing your snaps in Hawaii. I would love to go there one day!!
Love your pink bathing suit by the way.
I am so in love with each swim suit you are wearing in this post! And Isla is seriously the cutest little chick!
Great photos. I LOVE Maui. Try Leoda's. They have great food all around and amazing baked goods! It's not fancy, it but it's oh so delicious!
You have such great taste, I especially loved your classy one pieces!
Love the white dress! :) Love Hawaii too!
Star Noodle in Lahaina for sure, one of the best chefs in Hawaii! Mala on Front Street in Lahaina, and totally agree with everyone who says Monkeypod, although now you are on the opposite side of the island for that. The Hyatt Regency just down the beach from you has an incredible luau too.
Your photos make me long for a return to Maui! The last time we were there, my husband and I were introduced to Sorrento's On The Beach in Kihei. Amazing Mediterranean food with an appreciation of Hawaiian ingredients. The restaurant is situated steps from the sand and sunsets are unbelievable.
I love all of your great outfits for hot weather!! And I love your sincerity! I like how you make your posts yours and show your gratitude. I feel like you truly enjoy what you do and don't do it just for the money and free clothes!! (unlike Ivory Lane's who is completely generic, vague, and never shows appreciation).
Just want to comment on how amazing you look! It's hard to believe you just had a baby! Your family is adorable and your trip looked beautiful.
Isla's little swimsuits are so cute.
All of these swimsuits are adorable and your baby is too!

Home/News/Texas/The San Antonio police lay the groundwork at the St. Mary's Substation to combat rising crime in the area.
The San Antonio police lay the groundwork at the St. Mary's Substation to combat rising crime in the area.
Regan Send an email 1 week agoLast Updated: January 21, 2023
SAN ANTONIO More police are coming to one of San Antonio's fastest growing downtown areas.
San Antonio Police and City of San Antonio officials on Friday began construction on a new substation on St. Mary's Street, which is being built in response to the large number of businesses, homeowners and people who visit the area on a daily basis.
"Many residents of the area have asked for this, including business owners," said Mario Bravo, District 1 City Council member.
The new substation is located on the corner of St. Mary and Locust streets, south of the busy lane.
The nearly $22 million project is expected to be completed by early 2024. The two-story building will have an area of approximately 24,000 square feet.
The construction is part of the Bond project for 2017-2022.
"It's all about territory growth," said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. "It will be much better for the area. This will make people feel safe. This will be the landmark for the band here.
The new station will serve the so-called downtown area of San Antonio.
Officers assigned to the substation will also answer calls in nearby areas such as the Pearl, River Walk, Brackenridge Park and San Antonio College.
The substation will be a fully functional police station with crisis and property crime response team offices, interrogation rooms, a community conference room, and open public space.
"We have 2,300 housing units that are either being designed or under construction right now in this area. There is demand now, but there will be even more demand in the future," Bravo said.
Officials said the substation's proximity to St. Mary's Strip and the area's lively nightlife would also benefit businesses and residents when it comes to crime.
"There will be 28 new policemen here. There will be more presence and faster response times in the area," Bravo said.
McManus said: "Having a substation in any area provides an added safety measure that makes people feel safe. Higher visibility and that's what it's all about."
St. Mary's Street resident Alison Beam has lived in the area for three years and welcomes the construction, which city officials say will not affect the street itself.
"You have many businesses along the St Mary Strip. You have a gem, a river walk and it's a good central location for the area. They also include a community center and some public art that will really bring people together," Beam said. "I think that when the construction is completed and there is a police station here, the situation will improve for everyone, whether it be businesses or local residents."

2013 - Thank Fuck That's Over!
Thanks to everybody who has stopped by during the past year and if you feel strongly about any of the guff posted feel free to comment, as the people in positions of power say feedback is always appreciated.
I know that a few of us have had some things to contend with over the past twelve months some more trivial than others and I will not be the only one glad to see the back of 2013.
All the very best to all of you and we can but hope 2014 turns out to be if not a vintage year, well at least better than the one finishing.
Why Sturdy Girl? Why not, it was either that or some tossers in tartan and I know which one I prefer.

Coincidence? Most Probably
If someone had told me a couple of years ago that a track nearly half a century old by a septuagenarian jazz vocalist would be used to advertise baby milk, I would not have believed them. But then again I never ever thought that I would hear Frank Wilson selling chicken or Al Wilson being used to endorse pish masquerading as wine.
So what do I know?
Only this, that Nancy Wilson (is there something about that surname that lends itself to advertising?) has a wonderful voice and also that (You Don't Know) How Glad I Am is a great song. If you were to press me extremely hard I might even admit that the advert in which the song is utilised to great effect makes me smile but don't tell anyone that is just between us.

A Box Set Too Far? Well . . , Not Really
A couple of months ago I posted that the Jesus and Mary Chain Box Set was one too far and I couldn't justify the price. Well I eventually thought of a way round that little obstacle, I could justify half of it and if Santa weighed in for the other half we would be sorted. The fat man in the red and white suit duly agreed and now I am the proud owner of # 237/1500.
The album of b sides and rarities compiled from fans votes had one glaring omission for me, the 12" version of Sidewalking which I was sure would be a stick on.

I hope you all have as good a time as you can possibly have and get all that you have wished for.
Our Christmas is going to be a bit of a struggle this year but we will try to make the best of it we can.

Ten Albums I've Particularly Enjoyed This Year
Just over half of the album's songs are good the rest are either filler, rubbish or both. Quite a few of the tracks were previously released but it's the Fall and the good songs are better than the best that most bands have to offer. Still won't go back and see them though.
More utterly bonkers but equally brilliant dub excursions from the partnership made in Zion. With titles like Fussball and Don't Rush I how can you go wrong. If The Upsetter's pronouncements and vocals become too much you can always lose yourself in the instrumental versions. Sometimes I really wish I still smoked!
A mash up of blues, prog, krautrock, techno and possible most other forms of contemporary music apart from pop. The first track Golden Arrow sets out the albums stall. The only thing that wastes it for me is the vocals, too post Roger Waters Floyd for my liking. A dub version of this album would be brilliant.
The sounds of summer. Lovely indie pop from the brother of Cults member Madeline Follin. The sort of thing to listen when the sun is shinning with a bottle of Vina Sol. It was slated by Pitchfork which is a bonus.
Weatherall's latest project and absolutely blinding. He has left the rockabilly influences behind and heads back to dancefloor with big fat dubby basslines and more than a hint of the influence of German bands from the 70s. The remix album is an essential companion piece with mixes from the likes of Justin Robertson and Ivan Smagghe.
The Frabbit's fourth album was a welcome return to form for me as I found their third offering hard to like, it had it's moments but I never did warm to it. Pedestrian verse on the other hand had me smiling from the off. There are so many good tracks,State Hospital is up there with Backwards Walk and Heads Roll Off. They were also absolutely brilliant live a couple of months ago.
This is actually a repress, originally released in 2011. But I first heard of them earlier this year. Weegie space rock. A double album contain just 5 track one of which takes up sides c&d. Not the kind of album to put on unless you have time to sit and listen to it in it's entirety.
With absolutely no fanfare Keiron Hebden released his seventh album under the guise of Four Tet. With 11 in just over 40 mins there is no time for meandering drawn out tunes, all killer no filler. If lead track Kool FM felt like Hebden was covering ground that others had before and made you wonder what he was doing in the context of the album it makes perfect sense. I'm not sure that anybody else could you familiar beats and sounds and make them sound as fresh and exciting as this.
Well these two could probably give Four Tet a run for his money. I cannot put a fag paper between these two albums. Both are incredible collections of music that stand up as separate tracks but as complete albums as well. Probably the Hopkins album is slightly more successful at this as it was designed to be listened to as the soundtrack of a night out from getting ready through clubbing to the post club chill out. However the last three tracks on the Avery album are an immaculate piece of sequencing which sound just about perfect.
It's the weekend when the amateur drinkers take over the pubs and make life unbearable for the regulars with their lack of pub etiquette and their stupid . I used to hate this weekend when I frequented pubs on a regular basis and even more so when I had to serve these people. The ones who either can't remember their rounds when they come to the bar or even more annoying think that you are unable of remember or pour more than one at a time. If I had a quid for every time I heard "cheer up it's Christmas" I would have been able to get extremely drunk for the duration of the festering period.
So if you are going out over the weekend remember two things. the person serving you is not an inept fuckwit, unless you are in a Wetherspoons where they probably are and also if you intend to stay in the same pub buy the bar person a drink when you order your first round that way you will always get served quickly on your return.
I was trying to find a reasonably festive dance track but I don't seem to have one, so here is a good bit of uplifting house from back in 1993.
Have a good weekend people and steer clear of the amateur drinkers!
Staxx - Joy
Scale It Back
It isn't much of a step back from the soundscapes of Burial to those of Josh Davis.
A couple of years ago DJ Shadow released an album which I sat on for a while. Didn't sit down and listen to it for quite a while. I had been slightly disappointed by his previous album, The Outsider, which had it's moments but overall it didn't really do that much for me. The Less You Know, The Better is a bit similar for me it didn't really hold my attention and it took me quite a few attempts to get through to the end and it hasn't been played very much since.
This track Scale It Back is the best track on it for me and what a great track it is to even though it sounds a bit like a Prince pastiche. I absolutely love the vocals from Yukimi Nagano the singer with Swedish electronic band Little Dragon. The track was released as a single but not as a 7" much to my displeasure.
DJ Shadow feat. Little Dragon - Scale It Back
Rival Dealer
I haven't been able to stop playing this ep since it arrived last Friday, too late to make the Tracks Of My Year post but I reckon this might even have knocked Doc Daneeka down to third or even fourth place as all three tracks, if you can call the two longer ones tracks, are absolutely essential. You really should own this vinyl or cd.
To paraphrase John Peel, Burial always different always the same.
Proper House Music
My laptop appears to still be fucked and so this post will be brief in order that I complete it before it goes all blue on me again and starts dumping!!
In the Tracks of My Year post I mentioned that more than one or two great dance tuneds released this year harked back to a bygone age when house music was , well house music. Today's track is one of those tunes.
You are going to have to make do with a YouTube post as I haven't ripped this one yet, thought I had but obviously not.
The piano, that repeated vocal sample, the beats, pure old school house. Lovely stuff.
Christmas In Vietnam
Today's tune is the one that you should have gotten last Monday but on account of me having to use L's laptop which wouldn't entertain the ripping device had to wait until my laptop returned from HP which has now happened but which may just be temporary as I have already had two BSODs yesterday!
Anyway the tune was released on the Jewel label in 1965 and as far as I can acertain is the only thing that Johnny and Jon released. The song is actually the b-side the other being Why Did You Leave Me.
Johnny and John - Christmas in Vietnam
A two birds with one stone kind of thing.
Okkervil River - Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas
Been a busy week. I have had to get the stupid o'clock flights two days running and yesterday was the day of the year that I hate in relation to work more than any. Performance Review time.
"Tell me Drew, how do you think you have done this year?"
"You tell me, after all you are the manager and that's what you get paid for" is what I always want to say
"Fine, I suppose" is my usual reply.
To which the response is
"Can you elaborate"
And so, me justifying my existence begins . . .
Back to the music. I loved the stuff that came out on the Skint label, it was music that didn't take itself too seriously but was still good music. The best know artist on the label is Fatboy Slim and Skint became synonymous with the Big Beat genre during the late 90s. The most successful release on the label so far was Lazy by X-Press 2 which reached number 2 in the UK.
Label boss, Damien Harris also produced music under the guise of the Midfield General. Reach Out was released in 2000 and failed spectacularly to set the heather on fire. It's a good tune though
Have a good weekend people.
After a hiatus of three weeks due to away matches, cup ties and called off games normal service will resume this week as I will be watching Airdrie getting gubbed by East Fife. East Fife, oh how we have fallen!
Midfield General feat. Linda Lewis - Reach Out (Full mix)
I Don't Believe It!
A few years ago I was sitting dosing on the couch around the middle of December when I was suddenly brought back to full consciousness by the sounds emanating from the television.
That's the Raveonettes I exclaimed with more than a hint of disbelief in my voice as I heard the finest Christmas tune of the past twenty years soundtracking an advert for a bloody garden centre! I was rather upset. Even now as I play the song I can see that bloody advert.
The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song
G-L-O-R-I-A
There have been numerous versions of the Van Morrison penned track but for me only three of them make the grade, the original, of course and the versions by Shadow of The Night and Patti Smith.
At the moment my favourite version is Patti Smith's rendition included on her 1975 debut Horses and produced by John Cale.
Patti Smith - Gloria
Fucking Bawbags!
Apparently you aren't allowed to mention D A's name in full, he must not need the publicity. Those complete tossers at the DMCA have taken down the Tracks Of My Year post due to a complaint for the track that I had at number 4 in my chart. I will re-up the post with the offended artist removed from the list. Such a pity as his album was going to be number two in my albums of the year post but now it to will not appear.
. . . and it continues just had a copyright infringement email from Box.net for the Fall tune. It never rains but it pours!
I Suppose It's Time
The Christmas tree went up yesterday in our house. My only contribution, as always was to make sure that it was plumb and put the fairy (angel) on top. L does the rest so well it would be churlish of me to get in her way. I was banished to the dining room where I spent the afternoon drinking tea and listening to various Roddy Frame and Aztec Camera albums. As I have said before The North Star is a criminally, much overlooked album, it has a very redemptive feel to it which suited yesterday's ambiance.
That was a rather long winded preamble to me stating that it is probably time to start posting some festive related tunes. I am not against Christmas songs per se, it is just that you can't seem to get away from them from about September onwards these days and most of them, lets face it are complete shite, written with the main intention being that they become hits and the writers can live off of the royalties for the rest of their days, absolutely fuck all to do with writing good songs. The only thing worse than the completely crap exploitative Christmas songs are the "ironically" covered ones that tend to be recorded by guys with too much facial hair in jeans way too tight to be healthy trying to appeal to the too cool for Christmas indie types that secretly love the festivities as much as the rest of us.
I used to have complete disdain for all Christmas records with the exception of The Phil Spector Christmas album but over the years I have mellowed slightly and enjoy enough of these kind of songs to fill a cd, maybe two at a push but don't panic I will be posting sparingly, as we would not want to over do the festive cheer would we.
Here is the first of my choices, a bit of Yuletide realism. An absolute belter from the Jewel label released in 1965.
Well that was what I was going to post but this fucking laptop won't recognise the ripping device so here is an equally as good bit of Christmas realism from Frightened Rabbit. I have included both the choral version (my favourite) and the one with Scott's vocals, well it is the season for giving after all.
Frightened Rabbit - It's Christmas So We'll Stop
Frightened Rabbit - It's Christmas So We'll Stop (Choir version)
This is just beautiful
Bonnie Prince Billy - After I Made Love To You
The Tracks Of My Year
Right, it's that time of the year again, below are the tracks that I have played and enjoyed the most this year. After compiling the list I was not in the least surprised that more than half of the tracks and eight out of the top ten were dance tunes, there have been so many strong ones this year from the boundary pushing Koreless to the out and out retro groove of T-Kut it has been a rather brilliant twelve months.
I make no apologies for the inclusion of Robin Thicke as I think that it is a great song, the video is a bit choice and Thicke is a bit of a prick but you can't have everything.
The number one tune was nearly not top of my list due to Matthew Toad not putting it on his RSD 12" and making me buy some superb Barney's beer in order to obtain the download, which was a hardship but the tune is just too good and it would have been churlish to demote it just on format fetishism. But I do still live in hope that it will be released on vinyl at some point and have even gone to the extent of trying to demand it of the band via their Twitter account.
There are a couple of tracks which had they been released earlier would have made the list, Hold On Love by Erol Alkan and the new Burial single to be released next week. The former because I haven't played it quite enough yet and the Burial one I haven't actually heard but it's Burial so it's unlikely to be shit.
Interesting fact (or maybe not) - The xx are the only band who have appeared in this list every year in the four years that it has been compiled

What a difference a week makes this time last week I was feeling very smug having installed a new hard drive on my laptop all by myself. Alas it seems that a fucked hard drive was only part of the problem and after a week of further BSODs the machine is winging it's way to HP as I type with a return date of no earlier than the 17th!
I have to admit that not having my personal laptop in my office has done wonders for my productivity as those who follow me on Twitter will attest to.
Anyway, back to the music. I think a bit of bass heavy, dubby progressive house is the order of the day and who better to deliver it than Leftfield. I think that the duo's first album has stood the test of time extremely well.
Leftfield - Space Shanty
Thirty Years Ago, Really
One of the best debut albums ever was released thirty years ago this year and tonight I am going to hear it live in it's entirety for the first time in my life and I cannae wait. I have been looking forward to this ever since it was first announced and my excitement was ramped up a little further after my first trip to the Glasgow Concert Hall last week as the acoustics are very good.
Those of you who don't follow Pete Paphides on Twitter might have missed this brilliant piece on the travails of a fourteen year old Aztec Camera fan. Like Pete I wanted a suede jacket with fringes but had to make do with an Italian army jacket. I still remember Oblivious on Top Of The Pops and buying High Land Hard Rain from John Menzies as soon after as I had saved up enough money and ever since then the songs of The Boy Wonder have soundtracked a lot of the highs and a few of the lows of my life.
I am particularly looking forward to hearing Back On Board live.
Aztec Camera - Back On Board
Roddy Frame - Down The Dip (Paisley Abbey)
Super Soakers
I think that Baghdad Batteries is a bit of an underrated Orb album. It is not one that is often mentioned when people discuss Dr Alex's output. It also has a bit of a misleading subtitle, "Orbsessions Vol 3" as unlike the first two in the series this is all new material and intended as an album and not as a collection of sessions coupled together. It is still unmistakably the Orb but with little of the quirkiness and samples of previous excursions. It is probably the album that I play most by them these days.
The Orb - Super Soakers
This made me smile today
Give Me Just A Little More Time
Another piece of popular soul which reached number three in the UK charts in 1972. Some of you may know it from Kylie's version from 1991 which made it one place higher in the charts.
Chairmen of The Board - Give Me Just A Little More Time
How about a bit of KC doing Sinead doing Prince?
King Creosote - Nothing Compares To You
I absolutely love this song but to my shame up until recently I didn't really listen to the rest of an album, what a twat! As it is a rather fine album that deserved a lot more attention.
Regina Spektor - On The Radio
I am feeling very proud of myself today. I have replaced the hard drive on my laptop all by myself and it is now running perfectly.
Anyway, what with having to traipse down to Luton after only three hours sleep yesterday I have not had much time to think about today's post. I did however, receive a comment during the week from kiano asking if I would re-up a One Dove track, not just a One Dove track but one touched up by a certain DJ kind of worshipped around these parts.
So how could I say no?
Here is one of the tracks from a 12" single that became a quest for me to find in the pre Discogs days as it was about nearly as rare as good Coldplay song.
One Dove - Transient Truth (Sabres Of Paradise Death Of A Disco Dancer mix)
Bloody Luton!
I am in Luton today. Should really be grateful as everybody else was also here yesterday. I was given a reprise as I had a long standing appointment with the Bard of Barking last night at the Royal Concert Hall, which is a bit grand for the likes of Bragg. He was a) excellent or b) good*. So I am tired and filled with revolutionary fervour!
Last month saw the 30th anniversary of Life's A Riot With Spy vs Spy and to celebrate Bragg released a remastered version of the mini album, side one being the remasters of the original and side two being a live run through of all the tunes as the second encore at a gig in London earlier this year.
Here is the live version from the Union Chapel gig of the song that first brought Billy to my attention all those years ago when he performed it on the Tube.
Billy Bragg - To Have And To Have Not (Live 05-06-13)
* this was written just before leaving for the concert, so the rating is dependent on how much of Tooth & Nail gets an airing.
Verdi Cries
I was listening to Master Tapes on Radio 4 where John Wilson was talking to Natalie Merchant about Tigerlily, her first solo album after leaving 10 000 Maniacs. It is an album that I have to admit that I haven't played much over the past decade or so and it was the last of her output that I bought as I wasn't really that taken with it I much preferred the stuff she produced with 10 000 Maniacs.
So last night I was mostly listening to In My Tribe, my favourite of their albums and I was instantly transported back to Aberdeen and the first half of 1988 when this record was never far from the red Panasonic ghetto blaster with the turntable on top. I thought that I would post the last track from the album, the absolutely beautiful Verdi Cries which also turned up on the b-side of the single What's The Matter Here?
10 000 Maniacs - Verdi Cries
Say Something New
I can't believe that I haven't posted anything by the Concretes before as I quite frequently play the second album and the singles from it, not so much the first album and the later ones.
The band formed in Stockholm in 1995 and released their first album Boy You Better Run Now in 2000. Three years later they released their eponymous album which brought them to greater attention and also saw them tour the UK. I saw them the following year at King Tuts and they were very very good, a little shambolic at times but that kind of added to the charm.
Say Something New was the fifth single from the band's second album.
The Concretes - Say Something New
Heaven Must Have Sent You
I haven't posted that much Motown on the blog but I do love a bit of Detroit's best export.
The Elgins went through at three name changes before they settled on the name that with the aid of new female vocalist, Saundra Mallet would lead to them having a couple of hits on Gordy's label. The first single Darling Baby got to number one in the Billboard R&B Chart but it was the follow up that the group would be remembered for. First released in 1966, Heaven Must Have Sent You also charted on the Billboard R&B and got to number 50 in the Pop chart. It was re-released in 1971 four years after the group broke up and reached number 4 in the UK charts. Which just goes to show that not all of the best soul tunes were the obscure ones that didn't chart.
The Elgins - Heaven Must Have Sent You
Here is a song that when I was much younger was one of the tunes that I frequently used to try and woo girls, with very limited success. I'm almost certain that those who turned their noses up at it back then would think differently today.
John Martyn - Hung Up
3 mins 55 secs Of Casual Sex Anyone?
If that title doesn't bring ANONYMOUS back nothing will.
I'm not sure why I haven't posted this track before now as it has been a frequent visitor to the turntable since it's release in April as part of Moshi Moshi's singles club.
There is more than a slight nod in the direction of the "Sound of Young Scotland" in the Glasgow four piece's debut single which tells the tale of doing the dirty on your girlfriend with her best mate fuelled on very strong Austrian rum, 160 proof Stroh 80 of the title. The effects of which I can vouch for as my boss in the Wallace Cave when I worked there once gave me a bottle as a present.
As far as I'm aware the band haven't released anything further which is a wee bit disappointing as this single is very good indeed.
During the mid to late 90s John Digweed released a mix cd about once a fortnight and along with Sasha was one of the superstar DJs that the Chemical Brothers were banging on about. I'm not sure if his popularity has waned as I don't buy Mixmag or DJ magazine or frequent house parties after the pub has shut where the soundtrack is meandering trance pish anymore, thankfully.
I was never really a big fan of his DJ sets, as waiting for the next big breakdown to raise my arms in the air was not really my thing. However I did like his first foray into recording under the name of Bedrock along with Nick Muir. Although it does contain a huge breakdown at the time they were not as ubiquitous as they would become and the odd one could be tolerated. The single was released on Stress records in 1993.

Batches and Cookies
Absolutely loving this at the moment. Just wish I could have gone to King Tuts on Monday night where she was supporting Har Mar Superstar.
I realise that the majority of folk who visit here don't come for the dance music, the download counts testify to this but please take 7 minutes out of your life and click on the soundcloud below.
Walk On In released on the Numbers label by the Welshman now residing in Berlin is most definitely going to be in my top five tracks of the year it is the best slab of dance music I have heard for a while and that is saying something as there have been quite a few things this year that I have loved.
Go on give it a go.
You've Got To Be Willing
Another one I don't know very much about apart from that it is magic and commands a price of about nine hundred quid in vinyl form. Sadly I do not own a copy of it. Mines comes from a cd/dvd package that came out a few years ago called Soul Function. The dvd contains a short film which is alright and a documentary. The cd has quite a few tracks that I haven't got elsewhere which was a surprise as it wasn't full of the usual things that always get included on northern soul compilations.

Here is a Johnny Thunders cover from Canadian Duo Lola Dutronic's New York Stories Ep for you to listen to while lounging about today.

Suspense Kiss
Chicago outfit Panda Riot are one of those bands that I found via the Jon In The Morning show on KEXP when I was still office based in Edinburgh. Nothing new or groundbreaking about their sound. Like quite a few bands at the time they must have been listening to a lot of My Bloody Valentine and fucking about with effects pedals and drum machines. I liked what I heard enough to delve a bit deeper and sought out the debut cd, She Dares All Things a collection of tracks recorded in their bedrooms which is actually pretty good.
I sort of left it at that as it appeared that they had disbanded as nothing new appeared from them until a single last year which was too costly due to the shipping from the States and earlier this year they released a second album which sounds quite good from the samples on Amazon, good enough for me to order the album.
Here is a track from that 2007 album.
Panda Riot - Suspense Kiss
It's back to the days of one off night's in dilapidated old warehouses and industrial units, if you were lucky enough to find them and absolutely bizarre and wonderful slabs of machine made music on import on mediocre to really crap vinyl, you know who you are Trax records.
By the time DJ Pierre, Earl Smith and Herbert Jackson and crew released We Are Phuture in 1988 they had already produced the definitive piece of Acid House for me with Acid Trax. Where could they possible take the genre? To the future of course with this pounding almost industrial sounding track complete with weird dark vocal introduction from Spanky Smith and a wicked acid line. Fucking lovely stuff.
This track is included on an absolutely essential FIVE disc compilation of early acid and deep house sounds compiled by Terry Farley for anybody with any interest in the genre. I am a great lover of vinyl as you know but to hear some of these without the background noise on some of the 12" singles is a pleasure just wish that it was possible to turn the clock back twenty five years and relive those heady days.
Have a good weekend people. I will be mostly watching Airdrie and hoping that the new manager can do something to save us from languishing at the bottom of the Scottish Second Division.
Phuture - We Are Phuture
There have been many versions of Barrett Strong's non hit, not least by the fab four, which I must grudgingly admit that I quite like but then with material this good it is quite difficult to make a pig's ear of it but I bet One Direction could. My favourite version of the tune apart from the original must be the one by The Flying Lizards but the Kingsmen version comes close.
The Kingsmen - Money
Outta Tune
Here is a track from the quite brilliant Killer Rhythms & Red Hot Beats compilation.
Four guys. one mike, one take magic!
The Big Four - Outta Tune
You Can't Take It Away
I can find very little information about Azie Mortimer apart from she released fifteen singles and one album on a variety of labels from 1963 until 1969. I think that I have posted Haunted before, a couple of years ago on Halloween. Today's single was her penultimate one from 1969 and on the Okeh label.

8 Types Of Cyberbullying-And How To Protect Your Kids From Them
It's not always what you expect.
By: Christine Elgersma
A student sees a group of girls coming toward her in the hallway. One has been her best friend since second grade, but she doesn't know the others very well. She says hi to them as they pass.
They all ignore her or roll their eyes, including her friend. A few lockers down, they whisper to each other while they stare at her and laugh behind their hands.
While we can all agree the girls in this situation are being mean, can we call this bullying?
These "IRL" (in real life) scenarios happen all the time, and they often carry over into the online world.
And though insults, exclusion, and even all-out aggression don't always meet the technical definition of cyberbullying -- ongoing, targeted harassment via digital communication tools over a period of time -- they still hurt.
The best remedy for all these issues is prevention and education: Teaching kids what it means to be kind and respectful and a responsible digital citizen can nip lots of trouble in the bud.
But when and if problems start, it's good for parents to understand what's happening -- and how to help.
So, what is cyberbullying? Here are the different forms it can take and how to handle them.
1. Ghosting
When friends cut off online contact and stop responding, they're ghosting. Refusing to answer someone's texts or Snaps is actually a way of communicating during a shift or upheaval among a group of friends. Often, instead of ever addressing the issue head-on, kids will just ignore the targeted person.
How to handle it. Being ignored is tough. Instead of relying on the old parent standby, "If they're ignoring you, they're obviously not your real friends," try to empathize and validate your kid's feelings.
If they're willing, encourage them to try a face-to-face conversation with the ghosters. If that feels too hard, suggest your kid stop trying to get replies; the ghosters may come around, but if not, your kid is free to move on.
2. Subtweeting
When you tweet or post something about a specific person but don't mention them by name or tag them, you're subtweeting. Usually, subtweets are critical or downright mean. Since the target isn't tagged or even named in most cases, they might not know it's happening until someone clues them in.
How to handle it. If your kid finds out someone is subtweeting them, they have a few options depending on the perpetrator. If it's a friend who's suddenly turned on them, it's a good time to address it face-to-face.
If it's someone they don't know well or have a conflict with, it's best to ignore it. Engaging in a Twitter war (or conflict on any other platform) usually escalates the problem.
3. Fake accounts
Sometimes kids will create fake accounts in someone else's name and use that account to stir up trouble or hurt that person. In most cases, there's no way to trace who created the account, and even if it's shut down, the person can just create another one.
How to handle it. Dealing with fake accounts can feel like a game of whack-a-mole. But a kid who's targeted should actively defend themselves by blocking and reporting it. Kids should also let friends know what's happening to set the record straight -- and take some of the fun out of it for the person creating the accounts.
4. Sharing embarrassing posts and pics
Taking selfies and group pics are a normal part of tween and teen life. But sometimes kids take pictures of each other that, while fun in the moment, are potentially embarrassing if widely shared or cruelly captioned.
Often this is done by someone who thinks they're being funny or assumes everyone will get the joke. But pictures or compromising posts can make the rounds in a hot minute, so no matter the intentions, the shame can stick.
How to handle it. It's best if kids get in the habit of asking each other for permission to share photos. But that won't always happen. Remind kids to think about the impact the photo will have on others before they post it.
Kids can also ask their friends to take down embarrassing pictures as soon as they know they're public. If the image has already made the rounds, they may not be able to chase down every copy.
But you can reassure kids that everyone will likely move on to the next piece of news and forget about it soon.
5. Rumors
Social media is a perfect venue for the rumor mill, so lies can go far and wide before the target even knows what's happening. And once the fake news is out there, it's pretty impossible to reel it back in.
How to handle it. Your kid's response depends on the type of rumor. If it's something that involves other people -- like a rumor that your kid stole someone's significant other and that has led to threats -- you may need to get the school involved.
If the rumor is embarrassing or hurtful but isn't likely to cause a fight, it's fine for your kid to post a response. Coach them to respond just once and ignore the comments. Otherwise, they can refute the rumor in person when it comes up and wait for everyone to move on.
6. Exclusion
A kid may be scrolling through their feed and stop cold at a picture of all their friends together -- without them. Usually, these kinds of photos aren't intentional slights. But sometimes they are. And if the person who posted the picture knows your kid follows them, there's -- at the very least -- a lapse in judgment.
How to handle it. Responding online probably won't get the best results. Encourage your kid to approach the original poster face-to-face and explain that the photos hurt their feelings.
It's best if your kid can use "I" statements, like "I felt really hurt when I saw that picture … " (not "I think you're a jerk"). If your kid can express their emotions honestly, they'll probably discover it was just a careless oversight.
If it was a deliberate jab, then your kid should probably unfriend the OP (original poster).
7. Griefing
Remember those kids on the playground who always whipped the ball at other kids and called them names? Those kids play multiplayer video games, too.
But instead of whipping a ball, they kill your character on purpose, steal your game loot, and harass you in chat.
Online, that behavior is called "griefing." If your kid plays multiplayer games with chat, they're bound to run into it at some point.
How to handle it. Before your kid starts playing a game with anonymous strangers, make sure they know how to report and block players who are being cruel on purpose.
Tell your kid not to get into an argument over chat, since it probably won't resolve anything and could escalate the aggression.
Certain games tend to have more toxic behavior than others, so encourage your kid to try a different game where the community is known to be respectful and the moderators don't tolerate trash-talking.
8. Hate speech
Teens encounter hate speech even more than cyberbullying. This kind of language is similar to cyberbullying, but it's targeted to hurt someone based on personal traits such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or belief system.
And unlike the persistent cruelty of cyberbullying, it can be a one-time thing. Even if your kid isn't the object of the posts or comments, they may feel the impact if they're a part of the targeted group.
How to handle it. If your kid encounters hate speech online, it's OK for them to post a matter-of-fact, one-time response refuting it. But they shouldn't get involved in a flame war. Check in with your kid about the kinds of attitudes they see expressed online.
If they're seeing a lot of hurtful language, encourage them to seek out alternative feeds -- especially ones from supportive online communities. And if it's something really painful or that makes your kid feel humiliated, offer strong counter-messages.
If your kid knows the person who posted hate speech -- such as another student at school -- you can gauge whether to get others (administrators and other parents) involved. Hate speech can have very real consequences in the real world, depending on the context and whether threats are involved.
