There's quite a few benefits to installing solar panels on your home. You're using clean energy and reducing the demand for fossil fuels. You're detaching from the power grid and becoming self-reliant. But the best benefits are the massive energy savings. Not only will you reduce, or outright eliminate your monthly power bill, but you can actually get paid for the extra electricity you produce. This is called net metering, and it's one of the best parts of owning solar panels. So what exactly is net metering? Keep reading to learn more!

To put it simply, net metering is when the local utility company buys unused power from a consumer who produces their own electricity. This is most commonly done with solar energy, but can be done with any form of energy, such as wind or hydroelectricity. When the consumer installs solar panels, they may or may not cover their entire household energy usage. When they don't, they still pull some power from the grid, and will still pay a small energy bill. When their household energy needs are completely covered, however, then that extra unused energy goes back into the power grid and is bought by the utility company, earning the consumer extra income. When the consumer's solar array is producing more than the current household energy usage, the power meter will start to spin in reverse.
The consumer doesn't have to sell the electricity back to the grid. They can also use the grid as a virtual battery, and store the extra electricity for later use in jurisdictions that support monthly or annual rollover of stored power. This earns the consumer energy credits which can be exchanged with the local energy company. This is especially useful in areas where the sunshine is variable or seasonally dependent. If you generate a lot of extra energy in June, when the weather is sunny, you can store it for later use in December, and mitigate the need to pull from municipal power sources during the winter months when there's less sunlight.
This can also be applied on an intraday basis. Since people tend to be out of the house during the day, consumers can generate and store their extra electricity while at work or school, then use it during peak times during the evening and throughout the night, when there's no sun to power the solar panels.

Net metering is possible only in jurisdictions that allow it. Luckily, it's become a widespread practice, having been implemented all over the globe, although the terms may vary greatly from location to location. Some jurisdictions allow indefinite energy rollover, while others limit it to a monthly basis. The price per watt of electricity sold back to the energy company can also vary by jurisdiction, as some locations buy the energy back at wholesale prices instead of the retail price.
Net energy metering originated in the United States during the 1980s, with the first laws being passed in Idaho in 1980. Today, 38 states and Washington D.C. have laws promoting net metering, and 11 states have alternative net metering programs through utility companies. South Dakota and Tennessee are the only states with no form of net metering in place.
Laws differ greatly from state to state. Some states buy electricity back at retail prices, which is the price per kWh that a consumer would normally pay the power company. Other states buy the electricity back the wholesale price, which is the cost per kWh for the utility company. For example, Alaska buys the electricity from consumers at the retail price, while Nebraska buys at the wholesale price. The price can even vary within the state depending on the city, county, or utility company, like in Texas, where net metering itself is only available in certain jurisdictions. In Massachusetts, the price varies depending on the size and capacity of the electrical system. This variation is also seen in the types of tax incentives offered to solar investors, state by state.
Laws governing rollover also differ greatly from state to state. Most states allow monthly rollover. In those that don't consumers must use the extra electricity within each billing cycle, or the extra electricity is granted to the utility. In other states, monthly rollovers extend throughout the year. The price per kWh can differ between wholesale and retail depending on how long the credits go unclaimed. In Florida, the electricity is bought back at the wholesale price on a monthly basis, but can be redeemed for the retail price at the end of the year.
Rocky Mountain Power is Utah's electricity provider. While they do support net metering, the rules have changed over the past year. If your solar array was connected to the grid before November 15th, 2017, then you remain within the original net metering plan until December 31st, 2035. Your net consumption will continue to be evaluated on a monthly basis, and the excess will be credited towards the next month's usage until the end of the year. Credits expire at the end of the annual billing period. Customers are assigned to a class depending on the size of their array. You will remain in the same class unless you make a material change to the size of your grid.
If you connected your solar array to the grid between November 15, 2017, and October 30th, 2020, then you are considered a transition customer. Transition customers have their consumption evaluated in 15 minute increments. You will be charged for the electricity you consume from the grid within that time period, or reimbursed for the excess electricity generated. The reimbursement rate is dependent on the size of your array.
If you submit your net metering application after October 30th, 2020, you will be a post-transition customer. The post-transition guidelines have yet to be released, and new customers are encouraged to keep up with new updates from Rocky Mountain Power.
Texas has a decentralized electrical grid, and so does not have a statewide net metering law. Utilities themselves decide if they want to implement net metering. Here's a list of utility companies that support net metering:
Austin Energy
City of Brenham
CPS Energy
El Paso Electric
TXU
Check with your utility company for in-depth information on net metering.
California reimburses customers at the retail rate and credits rollover from month to month. So if you generate extra power during the summer, you can tap into those unused credits during the wintertime. California also allows virtual net metering, where those who live in a condo or apartment building can benefit from reduced costs if there are panels installed on the building.
California laws limit net metering when the solar array produces more electricity than the home consumes in a year. New consumers must also prove that their solar panels have a warranty greater than 10 years.
New York has conventional net metering and remote net metering. Conventional net metering reimburses the customer for their excess electricity, and credits for extra power can rollover from one billing cycle to the next. The rate is dependent on the customer's classification, which is dependent on the type of account and size of the array.
Remote net metering allows customers to distribute excess electricity to other accounts under their name. This is useful for commercial or agricultural operations, where customers generate electricity at their business or farm and use the excess to power their home.
Whereas owners of PV systems in Michigan were once reimbursed at the retail rate when they put energy back into the grid, the net metering policy was recently replaced with an "inflow/outflow" system. This new policy charges solar panel owners the retail rate when they use electricity, but reimburses them at a cost-avoided rate decided by the state. Michigan utility companies must seek approval from the state utility board before setting their cost-avoided reimbursement rate.
Net metering was once common in Arizona up until 2016, when the state repealed net metering laws in favor of the export model. The export model reimburses consumers at a much lower rate than the retail rate when they put electricity back into the grid. In certain areas, owners of PV systems can still receive the retail rate, and that also goes for consumers who were grandfathered in before the changes were made.
Many companies are raising the fixed rates for the grid connections, which costs consumers who generate electricity the most, as they use less municipal power but must now pay more for simply being connected to the grid. Others are lowering the cost of electricity, meaning consumers get a lower rate for their excess electricity. Many companies are now also offering time-of-use rate plans, where electricity is more expensive during peak hours, and cheaper during off-hours.
Many Arizona consumers fall under one of two major utilities in the state: APS or TES, and consumers are encouraged to check with their local provider to get more details about their export rate.
In September 2018, Tucson Electric adopted a new solar export program. Under this plan, homeowners are credited a set dollar amount for excess electricity that they send back to the grid, at a fee of 9.64 cents per KWH.
In Nevada, net metering allows consumers to earn credit for their excess electricity, which can then be rolled over into the next monthly billing cycle. Eligible PV systems must be under 25 kilowatts. Consumers who are enrolled in net metering cannot be charged any differently compared to customers who don't generate their own electricity. The reimbursement rate for net metering is set into 4 tiers, which are limited by their total applied capacity of 80 MW, meaning that once the total consumer load of any tier reaches the 80 MW limit, that tier is closed. Each subsequent tier pays a lower rate than the last. The tiers are listed below.
Tier 1: 95% retail rate
Tier 2: 88% of retail rate
While tier 1 is already at capacity, the other three tiers are still taking applications.
Maine has two systems for net energy metering. The NEB kWh Credit Program is available to all consumers and allows those who generate their own electricity to save kWh credits for their excess electricity. Their system must be under 5 MW in size, and credits expire after 12 months. Customers may build their own project, or maybe a part of a shared community project. Community projects must be registered with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
The NEB Tariff Rate Program is only available to non-residential customers. Power systems must be under 5 MW in size. Credits are provided on a dollar basis at a rate decided annually by the PUC. The rates are also dependent on the power company and size of the solar array. Credits expire after 12 months, and like the residential system, consumers can participate in a shared community energy project.
Florida Power & Light is Florida's leading energy company. Net metering is allowed under FPL, and they give monetary reimbursements for unused credits at the end of the year, though at a cost-avoided rate. Consumers are allowed to install a system that provides up to 115% percent of their annual consumption in kWh. There are three tiers, ordered by size, which are listed below:
Tier 1: Up to 1o kW
Tier 2: Between 10 kW and 100 kW
Tier 3: Between 100 kW and 2000 kW
Customers must apply for the program and have their PV systems inspected, and must pay for permits to install their systems. If customers fall under tier 2 or 3, they must provide proof of insurance and pay an application fee.
Massachusetts allows net metering if the consumer is under a regulated energy company. The state does not differentiate between on-site and virtual net metering. If you generate your electricity at a different site than where it is consumed, it makes no difference in the way the consumer is billed. Net metering is limited by the size of the PV system; no larger than 2 MW for private facilities, and no larger than 10 MW for public facilities. The state also requires that power companies cap net metering at a percentage of the company's highest historical peak load; 7% for private systems and 8% for public systems.
Hawaii officially closed its net metering program in October of 2015. Customers who applied to the program before the cut-off date still enjoy the benefits, but new solar installations are not eligible. 60,000 customers were able to successfully apply for Hawaii's net metering program since it began in 2001, though the closure of the program crashed the state's solar market. Hawaii currently has an NEM Plus program which allows current NEM consumers to add power storage to their system, as long as it doesn't export energy to the power grid.
Colorado implemented its net metering laws in 2005. Consumers can generate electricity and gain credit for their excess power at the retail rate. Large investor-owned utilities credit their customers up to 120% of their electricity demand but cap the credits at 10 kW for municipal utility companies and utility coops. Excess electricity can be rolled over to next month's bill, and the utility company must reimburse the customer if they choose not to roll it over. Solar storage systems were made available to consumers in 2018.
Net metering is offered in most of Canada's provinces. Ontario, the most populated province, allows net metering for systems of up to 500 kW. Credits can be carried for up to 12 months, after which the credits are cleared and the billing cycles starts over again. In British Colombia, customers are reimbursed up to $8.16 per kWh after 8 months, which increases to $9.99 after 12 months if they still provide a surplus of energy.
Net metering is also available in Saskatchwan, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
Denmark was the first county in the EU to experiment with net metering. They began their preliminary phase in 1998. It turned out to be efficient and a good way to incentivize solar panels in the country. The program was so successful the government extended it for four years. In 2005, Denmark signed its first official net metering regulations, making the practice a permanent arrangement.
In France, net metering is available to all customers of EDF, France's largest utility comapny. The buyback price is set at a fixed rate by the government, which is higher than the normal retail price. Many suggest selling all of their produced electricity to the power grid and buying back what is needed at the lower retail price.
The Netherlands began their own net metering program in 2004, though at first they limited buybacks to 3,000 kWh per year. The limit was later raised to 5,000 kWh, and as of 2014, there is no limit to the amount of electricity that can be sold by consumers.
Italy and Slovenia also have net metering programs, and the Spanish government proposed their own net metering program in 2019.

In Australia, net metering programs are known as feed-in tariffs. Feed-in tariffs differ because they require a seperte meter, though the functional and financial differences are similar. Programs for feed-in tariffs exist in all of Australia's 8 territories, including the capital territory. The tariffs have, for the most, part succeeded in expanding interest in installing solar panels around the country. At the outset, Australian consumers received over three times the retail price per kWh of energy feed back into the grid, though this has been greatly reduced over the years as more consumers adopted solar arrays. The purpose was to incentivize residential solar energy, so the programs are considered a success.
Almost every state in India allows net metering, with the first laws being enacted in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Solar panels in India, the country which boasts the largest solar farms in the world, often require an application with the local government before installation, and net metering requires another separate application. A bidirectional meter is installed upon government approval. Usually, up to 30% of the transformer capacity can be stored in the grid. In 2015, Maharastra was the latest state to enact net metering for solar panels, and allows up to 40% of the transformer capacity to be fed back into the grid.
Net energy metering is dependent on your home energy use and the rules and regulations set by the government and local utility companies. If you are going to implement net metering, it's imperative that you have a smart meter. Smart meters are an upgrade from the typical analog meter, which use dials to measure your home electricity use. Smart meters use a digital screen which displays your total household energy consumption. Instead of having utility personnel come out and check the meter every so often, smart meters use radio technology to communicate with the power company directly.
The best part about smart meters is that they allow you to check your home energy usage online. You can then see your energy stats, like the total energy consumed, the energy you fed back into the grid, and your net energy consumption, which is the difference between what you used and what you sold back to the grid.
Unfortunately, smart meters can have a negative effect on net metering. Whereas analog meters feed the electricity back to the grid at a 1:1 ratio, smart meters can be used by power companies to buy the electricity back at an altered rate. They may buy back power at a varied rate dependent on the time of day or year.
Net metering smooths the demand curve for electricity, making it easier for power companies to manage energy loads during peak times, which can reduce stress on the grid and avoid blackouts. Still, power companies view net energy metering as lost revenue, and in some places, they're trying to put limits on the practice. Just in the past few years, we saw policies that aimed to either reduce the price of electricity sold back to the grid, or like in Utah, reduce the time interval for calculation net electricity consumption. Rocky Mountain Power in Utah sought to reduce the calculation time for net power consumption to 15 minutes, which would effectively end rebates from net metering. The shorter intervals mean that electricity generated in the daytime wouldn't be available for nighttime consumption.
Many power companies view net metering as a threat to their revenues, though advocates see it as a way to ease the load on the power grid.

Power companies view residential solar energy as a threat. They view the potential behind net metering as a threat to their bottom line. They argue that the decrease in revenue compromises their ability to maintain the grid. In reality, net metering takes a small percentage of revenue compared to the total customers still on the main grid. Despite net metering having a positive affect on the grid, the immediate cut to their revenue stream is more important to power companies than the greater good. Once you install solar panels and begin generating electricity, it pays to be a local advocate for residential solar. Keep up with your local power company and local and state laws, and forge relationships with others in your community who have installed solar panels on their home. A strong community is the best way to keep net metering favorable for the people.
In areas that reward municipalities and utility companies for using renewable energy, they may actually offer more money per kWh to incentivize residential solar and net metering.
Net energy metering pays. But there's more than one method to get reimbursed for your unused electricity. Most people simply take credits for their unused power. This is essentially a form of energy storage in that the electricity is fed into the grid and can be tapped later with no charge. Many use this to reduce, or even "zero out" their energy bill, saving them money over the long run. Net-metering is a fundamental feature for those seeking to design so-called "passive homes". Those who are savvy to the movement in local energy prices can generate electricity when it's cheap and tap into their reserves when prices go up.
Instead of credits, you can receive monetary rewards and reimbursements for selling energy back to the grid. Though this is not the case in all jurisdictions, some utility companies allow you to get outright paid for the electricity you generate. In jurisdictions that have quotas for renewable energy, utility companies may be willing to pay prices that are higher than the retail prices offered to consumers. In these areas, a good move would be to sell all of your generated electricity to the grid, then buy back what you need at the lower price.
Net metering can save you money by lowering the payback period for your solar panels. The payback period is the amount of time it takes for your solar panel installation to generate enough power to pay off the original cost. With net metering, you can earn extra income, which goes toward reducing the payback period. This is dependent on your home energy usage and the local price of electricity.
With electric vehicles becoming more popular, some are beginning to incorporate them into their net metering plan. This is called a vehicle-to-grid system. It allows vehicles that are parked and plugged into the grid to discharge their electricity into the grid, then later throttle the charge rate. Since cars tend to remain parked for most of their lifetime, some view it as a viable option to increase the sustainability of personal vehicles and supplement the electricity provided by their solar array. Peak load leveling is one of the applications of V2G, where EVs can charge in the day when the panels are generating power, then discharge power into the home or grid at night.
The downside to V2G is that it may impact the longevity of the vehicle's battery life. Lithium-ion batteries eventually corrode and lose their charge over their lifetime, and the loss in efficiency is increased when the battery is constantly charged and discharged, as it would in a typical V2G setup. For this reason, many experts dispute the environmental and economic efficiency of V2G, as the extra battery related costs outweigh any potential benefits.
EVs can be a part of a comprehensive net metering system.

Net metering is one of the best parts of owning a solar array. Instead of simply producing your own electricity, your also providing clean renewable electricity to the community. In addition to reducing your power bill and earning rebates from local power companies, net metering allows you to use the grid as a virtual battery. You can feed power to the grid during the day, and tap into the stored electricity at night. Even better, you can do this over the course of a few weeks, months, or even years. Net metering is location dependent, so it's best to check local rules and regulations to see what benefits are in it for you!
Net metering is the practice of selling or storing unused electricity generated from your solar panel back to the grid. This is usually done in exchange for monetary compensation, kWh credits, or lower energy bills.
What is a rollover period?
The rollover period is the period of time that you can tap into unused electricity, or credits. The rollover time can be anywhere from a month to a year. Some jurisdictions have indefinite rollover times, meaning that you can store credits in the grid for the long term.
How do smart meters affect net metering?
Whereas analog meters gave consumers a 1:1 ratio for net metering power, smart meters allow utilities to set different rates, which can either benefit or hurt the consumer. Smart meters also allow consumers to see their net electricity consumption online in real time.
What are utility companies doing about net metering?
Many utility companies see net metering as a threat to their revenue stream, and are intent on passing regulations to limit and restrict net metering. Other companies welcome net metering, as they have a renewable energy quota to fulfill in exchange for tax incentives. These companies will usually buy consumer generated electricity at a rate higher than the retail price.

I know this is way off topic but I just spent a lot of time trying to fix this so I thought I'd post this solution somewhere for others.
This is as of September of 2016, Windows 10. This applies to the iphone and itunes and the problem is that when you plug the iphone or ipad into the computer Windows does not see or recognize the device and does not sync.
I plugged my iphone into my computer and opened itunes and there was no sync. There was also no iphone listed as a device like usual.
I tried a different USB port, plugging directly into the computer, restarting the computer, restarting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, removing the iphone from the Device Manager list and reinstalling, resetting the network settings on the phone, deleting the lockdown directory from ProgramData, and even a different cable. Nothing worked.
I could see the phone through Windows Explorer and access the pictures and videos but itunes could not see it.
Eventually I realized that in the device manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" was missing.
Right click on that file and choose Install.
Hopefully that helps someone, or at least helps me again in the future when I forget!
This was immensely helpful, and worked perfectly. Thank you.
Great to hear. It's helped a few people now. I can't understand why Apple doesn't post this officially.

18th & Addison "Time Bomb"
18th & Addison
18th & Addison LLC
T. Morgan, T. Kunzman, K. DiBenedetto
It is often said that music has the power of bringing people together, and rock duo 18th & Addison is living, breathing proof. Consisting of New Jersey natives Tom Kunzman and Kait DiBenedetto, this punk powerhouse embodies the idea of working for what you love, with who you love.
No strangers to Indie Nation, the two joined musical forces in 2013 following the eventual dissolution of their previous projects. Tom fronting pop-punk/rock outfit A Criminal Risk and Kait's being What's Eating Gilbert, the side project of Chad Gilbert: a founding father of legendary pop punk band New Found Glory. In fact, Kait DiBenedetto has been growing strong roots in the musical world since the young age of 16, when she was signed as one of the first recording artists on MTV's budding new label, and began touring across the country with her band Just Kait. However, after experiencing undeniable chemistry back in their hometown of Toms River, the two reconnected to form an inevitable collaboration. After touring with what felt like a revolving door of people, the duo found a constant in each other. Years later, while performing onstage at Vans' Warped Tour in 2017, Tom shocked Kait when he introduced the next song in their set by getting down on one knee: a proposal that rocked almost as hard as they did.
Since then, the dynamic duo has been working tirelessly on their upcoming EP Vultures, a record that encapsulates the band's growth since its conception. By using their experiences from along the way as inspiration, Vultures brings forth a fresh and revitalized energy from 18th & Addison. By taking control together, Kunzman and DiBenedetto have forged an album that is more aggressive and lyrically honest, which we catch a glimpse of in the album's first single: "Time Bomb."
This jumping punk anthem concentrates the band's frustration and determination to keep pursuing their love of performing. Kunzman says that the music video for "Time Bomb" is inspired by the current world of goofy videos going viral and finding unwarranted fame, while musicians and bands across the country work tirelessly to keep their dreams of making music alive. This concept is illustrated comedically by a talent show devoid of any talent, each contestant worse than the last. Kait and Tom, disguised as exasperated judges, dismiss each act one by one, until the appearance of a couple of gothic punk rockers. With headbanging hairography and unparalleled verve, the punks amaze our judges and illicit a standing ovation. Of course, any listener would feel the same way after hearing this vibrant hit, as the thumping beat, unforgettable melody, and vocal harmonies will have you on your feet and rocking out.
18th & Addison's dedication and passion is impossible to overlook. And when you combine this fervor with energetic, finely crafted rock anthems, you end up with a powerfully provocative band and a force to be reckoned with. Please don't be shy about getting in touch to let us know what we can do on our end to get the "Time Bomb" video included into your programming and rest assured we'll have plenty of outstanding 18th & Addison merch to set up online/on-air contests and giveaways throughout the campaign.

Bleached Talk Touring, Sobriety and Being Kind to Your Inner Teenager
September 12, 2019 /in Featured, Music /by M.K. Koszycki
Sisters Jennifer and Jessica Clavin have a longstanding history with music. Growing up around the entertainment world in Los Angeles with a parent in the industry, they took to the craft at a young age and eventually went on to form punk band Mika Miko. After the dissolution of that group, the Clavin sisters came together once again to form Bleached, an honest but relatable, realistic but still sunny, band that's been around since 2011.
While anyone in the music industry for as long as these sisters is bound to look for inspiration in different places, it truly came from the unexpected on their most recent album cycle – getting sober. As the sisters exited a hiatus and worked to improve themselves and their music, they found going through this change (and doing it together) was an empowering and vulnerable way to make music. On Tap chatted with Jennifer (vocals, guitar and synths) about this life changing process, life on the road and learning to have self-compassion ahead of their upcoming stop in DC.
On Tap: Your new album Don't You Think You've Had Enough has been out in the world since July. Now that you're a few months into the album cycle, what's it been like being on tour and hearing fan responses?
Jennifer Clavin: I think we've got three or four shows on the tour so far. The fan reactions are just so positive and uplifting. Sometimes there are these weird downtimes where you make the record and then you put it down, and you're just kinda sitting with it before it comes out. And then [the record] came out and then…it's not really until the live shows I think [we] can really tell [what the response is]. So far it's been awesome.
OT: Has anything surprised you about the way that fans have responded to the album in general, or to certain songs?
JC: It's funny because when we were first putting together the album, we didn't know what songs to make the singles. Like there was a debate between us and our manager and the label. And so now I have proof that "Daydream" and "Somebody Dial Nine One One" are a lot of people's favorites. And then likewise, I can tell everyone gets super excited for "Hard to Kill."
OT: You've talked a lot about how your sobriety kind of affected your songwriting process and musicianship. Walk me through how that affected this album and why you guys decided to make this change in your life.
JC: Well, it wasn't a planned decision. I woke up one morning and I was like, 'I can't live my life like this anymore.' I just decided I needed to get sober and then when we started getting the record [together], it was just a very different type of experience than I'd had writing previous records. I feel like the biggest thing was just being present with everything: with every thought, with every feeling, with every reaction. When in the past I could literally check out if I wanted to with drugs or alcohol, which I would do. It was really cool to be more a part of the whole experience.
I guess sometimes it can be scary, right? Just having to be present for all of that and not having the option to check out. But I had to find other ways and use other tools, whether it be meditation, going outside, walking down the street and getting an iced tea or talking to friends. When we were doing the lyrics, I was just thinking about so much stuff from my past that I was trying to let go of. And so singing it over and over and over again, I was just like, 'I feel insane.'
OT: Yeah. I think a lot about how I have songs that mean so much to me that I can't listen to anymore because they just affect me emotionally. So I can't imagine, as a musician – especially for you all, who have been making music for such a long time – having these almost constant reminders of certain parts of your life.
JC: Yeah, totally. It's similar to that. I remember one time not-so-long-ago we were in Amsterdam playing a show and there was a song about my boyfriend at the time and then we ended up breaking up and I remember playing that [song that] night, crying and trying not to let anybody see that I was crying on stage. Even the process of having to say the lyrics over and over, it was like a form of letting go in a way. But this is one of my most favorite records we've ever written. So it's showed me that doing this whole thing sober and being present actually produced the best record, in my opinion.
OT: I've noticed an uptick in people, especially in creative circles, embracing sobriety. I recently read a book called Sober Curious about someone who was a journalist and then went on a similar journey. It's just very interesting to see almost a prioritization of overall health, and actually being with your feelings. As somebody who's gone through getting sober and making this change, why do you think people are starting to be more cognizant of their drinking habits?
JC: [People] have talked about how to do it [on] social media. There are people being super honest about their struggles and their journey – people that we and other people look up to. I feel like that probably is such a big part of it. I think before, you never really knew what other people were going through. You felt very alone in that journey if you were trying to get sober. Now, there's just so much more support. I feel like that's almost like the most important ingredient in sobriety is having that support and not just like isolating yourself.
OT: You and your sister have been in the music world for quite a while now, as Bleached and past projects. You also grew up in the music world. How has your relationship with music, personally and professionally, changed over time.
JC: That's a really good question, because we're actually on tour with these younger girls right now called The Paranoyds. They were all big fans of our first band, Mika Miko. Watching them is really taking me back to when I first started playing music, first started going on tour, [and was] trying to figure stuff out. It's funny cause I didn't have any confidence back then but they all seem, at least to me, very confident and sure of themselves. It's just really cool to watch and be like, 'Oh, I probably was, I was cool like them, too.' But I just didn't know it because I was so insecure. Now over time, I've been being more loving toward myself and having more compassion and just working on myself to where I can now play a song and just feel super proud.
OT: I always think it's interesting how, having been a former teenage girl, I have so much compassion for them. I didn't have that same compassion for myself at the time I was that age, though. I recently started to reflect on how teenage me is still there, too, and I still need to be nice to her and to my current self.
JC: Exactly. That's another thing, as we are playing these shows and seeing [teenage girls] there it has been bringing back that exciting feeling I feel you kind of lose along the way. Where everything's so new and maybe it's a little scary. It's also just really exciting, you know? And it's like, just where my brain is right now, too.

Ezra Furman is Excited About Lunch
October 31, 2018 /in Featured, Music /by Michael Loria
Tomorrow, punk-ebullient artist Ezra Furman comes to U Street Music Hall with ex-Deerhunters and ex-Carnivores, Omni. Furman is still touring his 2018 record Transangelic Exodus, a work that rings of inspirations like Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen. However, his take on Americana is queer and it's the good time we've been looking for.
Furman played a wild show at Rock & Roll Hotel last March, one of the funnest I've been to, so I jumped at the chance to talk to him, even if only via email. Furman was a fun pen pal though, and I got to ask him about his latest single, a cover of Vampire Weekend's "Unbelievers," touring life and what excites him (SPOILERS: LUNCH! Also, Furman's "Unbelievers" kicks the ass out of Vampire Weekend's original. The difference is that you can tell he's having a ball.)
On Tap: Tell me about this current tour. How long have you been on the road?
Ezra Furman: Technically this is day three of the tour. But to accurately answer this question, I have to tell you about how tours seem to run together. One ends and you begin preparing for the next one immediately. One begins and it seems like the last one never ended. This is day three of the tour, but also I have been touring for 12 years. It's a ragged and beautiful tour. It's a lot of work and often incredibly satisfying, especially in the evenings.
OT: Is the upcoming show the only one you're going to play with Omni?
EF: No! We started on tour with them last night in Columbus, Ohio. They are playing all eight of these shows with us and I'm delighted about it because they are quite good.
OT: How did you get connected with Omni?
EF: Someone recommended them, can't remember who. I'd heard of them but not heard their music. I loved it, they were down to do some shows together, and lo, a terrible beauty is born.
OT: Let's talk about your latest release, because I didn't see a Vampire Weekend cover coming. Why this song?
EF: First of all, because it's a very good song from one of my favorite albums of the decade. Second of all, because it's a song in dialogue with religion, which I am always in dialogue with. I have such a push and pull with my religion, Judaism. I love it so much and find it so fascinating, and also, it often bites, burns [and] rejects me. It's an untrained dog made of fire. Sometimes I just feel like screaming about it, which this cover gave me the chance to do. Third of all, I could hear the punk song buried inside the Vampire Weekend version. I wanted to dig it up because lately I am persistently in the mood to play punk rock.
OT: Do you play covers often?
EF: Yes. I love playing great songs. Also, I think it helps a band become better – to have some standard of excellence, to study great songs, to see how they're made and what makes them work. We've covered tons of artists: Beck, Kate Bush, the Velvet Underground, Arcade Fire, Little Richard, Madonna [and] more. It's delicious.
OT: How do you incorporate covers into your practice?
EF: We rehearse them and create our own version and then we play them live. Once in a while we record them. We made an EP of covers a couple of years ago called Songs By Others. I think it's only on vinyl – there might be CDs. It might not be online.
OT: Do know Vampire Weekend personally? Hear any feedback from them?
EF: My old band and I (Ezra Furman and the Harpoons) heard about them in 2007; they were a college band like us and we were talking about doing shows together. We were messaging on MySpace, I think. Anyways, they put out their first album and blew up so we never played with them. I met them briefly some time around then and we've sent some Twitter messages, but we don't know each other. I heard they liked our cover.
OT: Are you working on any more music?
EF: Always. Been writing and recording punk songs. [It's] very satisfying. I hope to show you them sometime.
OT: Let's talk a little about DC. I saw you last time you were at Rock & Roll Hotel. Is there anything that you like to do while in town?
EF: We tend to blow in to town, sound check, have dinner and play music, and then blow on toward the next show. We don't get a lot of time. But last time we had a night off. It was Shabbat, and I went to services and dinner at a great Jewish congregation called Sixth & I. I highly recommend it, if that's your sort of thing or even if it might be.
OT: What have you got coming up that you're excited about?
EF: I'm having lunch really soon and I'm so excited. I get excited about very mundane things sometimes. They're just amazing.
Furman will be at U Street Music Hall Thursday, November 1 at 7 p.m. Tickets $18. Don't miss the party. And don't miss post-punk trio Omni either.

Shannon and The Clams Triumph Over Tragedy on New Album
July 20, 2018 /in Featured, Music /by M.K. Koszycki
Shannon and the Clams were well into recording their sixth album, Onion, when tragedy struck their hometown of Oakland, California. A fire at the Ghost Ship warehouse claimed the lives of 36 concertgoers and musicians that night in 2016 – many of them friends of the Clams. The event shook the DIY community of Oakland, and its aftershock was felt in similar creative spaces throughout the country. While their album had already taken shape, bassist and vocalist Shannon Shaw tells me how the group ended up incorporating the fatal fire into their new release.
"I don't know if [guitarist and vocalist] Cody [Blanchard] felt the same way as me, but I wasn't sure if I should or not," Shaw tells me earnestly. "It was one of those things that me and the other people in that world have experienced. It was just on everyone's mind all the time, and it still is, really."
I can hear in her voice that while this is something the greater DIY community may have moved on from, it's now forever ingrained in the fabric of their hometown. Shaw confirms my silent guess.
"It continues to f–k people up."
In an act of healing – not just for the Clams, but for all of Oakland – it was weaved into Onion, released earlier this year.
"It became this thing were it would be weird of us to not write about our feelings," she continues. "To me, that's what music is: a diary that is important to share because it brings people together and sometimes brings people relief. I felt like I would not be being myself if I didn't express myself in regards to the fire. God, I've written a lot of sad songs in my time, but when I wrote these, they were more for other people."
Shaw and Blanchard have had different feelings in the wake of the fire, but both felt their band could express the way in which it affected them through music.
"I wanted people to know it was okay to feel everything," Shaw explains, "and to be open about it and to try and grasp and remember all the amazing ways they've influenced our scene, and to let people know they won't be forgotten. Cody's take was to explain the plight of the artist, and what it's like to be forced into the shadows, and all the cool and amazing things that happen in the shadows that people miss. I think that ended up being this really unexpected part of the album. Obviously, we didn't know that was going to happen and we had a lot of material. But when it happened, that event took over."
Even though Onion's subject matter is deeply personal and at times heavy, the album does not stray from the Clams' trademark brand of 60s-inspired, R&B-tinged psychedelic pop. When I ask her about how moments on Onion manage to be musically fun even when lyrically sad, the idea of music being a mirror to everyday life resurfaces.
"The lyrical content is there, but maybe trying to mask the vibe, but also I kind of think that's a metaphor for life. Nothing is completely black and white, and using art or music as a tool to reflect that – the big picture or the full scene – that comes naturally."
Their signature sound was fortified further with the help of Dan Auerbach, frontman of The Black Keys, and a fan of the Clams. Before the band signed to Auerbach's Easy Eye label, Shaw embarked on a solo journey to his Nashville studio as part of his Easy Eye Sound Revue and to record her solo album. An incredibly accomplished musician in her own right, Shaw notes that her newfound creative partnership with Auerbach kept her on her toes.
"The Dan stuff threw me for a loop, because it's a totally different world. It's the big time. I come from the DIY punk zone. I'm comfortable in those shadows. I think to be somewhere shiny and pro instead of recording in a bedroom was intimidating – it's just as simple as that."
Shannon later returned to Nashville, the Clams in tow, to mold Onion into the lush and layered gem it became with Auerbach by their side.
"Dan is so good at seeing the big picture, and he also has this huge mental catalog – and really good taste – of sounds and instruments. He could just listen to our songs – which were already pretty good – and have these ideas for things we'd never even thought of. He just knows how far you can take a song: how many layers of stuff [and] how many guitars can you get on there before it's too much."
The band's roots, their "shadows," were not forgotten in the sparkle of a new producer and album, though. Shaw explains what she's most looking forward to on the tour they're about to embark on, and it's not the big cities that thrill her.
"There's a tiki bar out in Wilmington, North Carolina, and they have a big dock. At the end of the dock they have bands play right over the ocean. They've been asking us to play for years and it's just never worked out with our routing and our schedule to go all the way out to the beach and play, so we're doing that this year and I'm so excited. I've never played over the water."
It's clear that the Clams are on to their next adventure, with hope in the face of tragedy and shimmering sounds in tow.
Catch Shannon and the Clams at U Street Music Hall on Thursday, July 26. Big Huge and Gauche open. Doors at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15. And don't miss the after-party with DJ Baby Alcatraz and Rob Macy at Dodge City. Doors at 10 p.m. Free.

The Secret World of Hinds, Spain's Indie Stars
May 7, 2018 /in Featured, Music /by M.K. Koszycki
On the morning I was scheduled to interview Ana Perrote – singer, guitarist and one-fourth of ramshackle Spanish indie rock group Hinds – she messaged me "Hola" before I had even headed into work. I was a few minutes late to hop on the call due to technical difficulties, and when we finally connected (after my profuse apologies) a relaxed Perrote popped up on my screen, perched at a desk on a computer and surrounded by clothes on hangers and drying racks in her room. I commented on her framed Picasso painting, and she proceeded to pan around the room to show all the laundry she was prepared to take on tour, talking to me as if I was an old friend from school and not a total stranger.
This openness and energy Perrote possesses is also so evident in her music as one of Hinds' primary songwriters, setting them apart in a sea of beach rock revivalists that have popped in and out of the worldwide scene in the past decade. A way with words in conversation and in song, Perrote chatted up Hinds' new album and tour, working with band idol Gordon Raphael and why no one can truly understand what life is like as a member of Hinds – and that's a good thing.
On Tap: You're influenced by Mac DeMarco, Ty Segall and The Strokes – all bands that are contemporaries of yours and still currently put out music. But your overall sound is very cool and retro, so do you consider any older bands to be influences or are you just inspired by these bands who are also reimagining older sounds?
Ana Perrote: We have two faces, almost two different moments in the writing process. When we first started playing together, even when we played covers, we used to play things like Bob Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival – older stuff by bands who don't release music anymore. Then suddenly we discovered Mac DeMarco and The Growlers, and we totally freaked out. It was like, "Oh my God, you can actually write good stuff and be alive!" That's why we say our influences are those kinds of bands, because it's actually what you can now be influenced by more, but there's always the older stuff.
OT: Is there a garage rock scene in Spain, or are you on your own in pioneering your sound there?
AP: It's not a big scene, but there's definitely a scene. It's a really tiny scene, actually. Mainly around six bands, but we're all friends with each other. Like, "The guy who takes the pictures is dating the bass player of this band." You know what I mean? So the first time we went to rehearse songs, it was with Diego from The Parrots, who also produced our first record and is from a band from Madrid. It's not big, but it's really, really strong.
OT: You and Carlotta Coisals (vocals and guitar) got your start as a band playing covers, and quit playing after a particularly bad show in your hometown. What made you want to not only try again but start playing your own songs?
AP: First of all, we gave two gigs playing covers. One was good and the second was a horrible – really horrible – one. And then there was maybe a year-and-a-half between that and going back to rehearsing. We didn't play at all after that show, not even a rehearsal. We totally stopped playing because of how bad it felt to give a bad show. During that summer before we started writing, we went to this festival in Spain called Benicassim, which is our favorite festival ever – it's really really good. Our friends from the scene, Los Nastys, were playing that festival. It was crazy because we were music lovers for so many years and suddenly we have friends in the lineup of a festival that we love. It was the biggest deal, the biggest thing ever in our community. When we came back from that, we were totally drunk off music and emotions. Carlotta used to have a blog, and she was rereading some of the posts she made when we were in the cover band. Then she just texted me, "Hey, are you free tonight? Do you want to play again?" So I drove to her house and we covered a song by Los Nastys, and two weeks later wrote our first song.
OT: What is your songwriting process like? You and Carlotta are the principal songwriters, but how involved is the other half of the band – Ade Martin (bass and backing vocals) and Amber Grimbergen (drums) – in writing?
AP: There's always two sides to a song. One is the four of us in the rehearsal room, and the other is Carlotta and I trying to find melodies, chords and the rest of the structure. We really prioritize the melodies in our songs, because we've had situations where we had great chords and a great drum solo and everything sounded really good but suddenly we can't find a good melody. Without a melody, you don't have a song. We would fight because we would bring it home and be like, "Guys, we changed it because we really couldn't find a good one" and then someone says, "But I love this bass line!" It can get tricky with four people writing, but at the same time it's more fun and more interesting. I think you can tell with this album that most of the songs started in the rehearsal room, but at the same time, we always say that the good songs are the songs you can actually play with just one guitar while you sing along, so we really want to keep that in mind even when all four of us are writing.
OT: Tell me about working with Gordon Raphael. That must have been surreal since he's worked with The Strokes in the past and you have cited them as a huge inspiration. How did Hinds' collaboration with him come about? Did he have any influence on the more polished direction you moved in on this new album?
AP: We chose him because he was a fan of ours back when we had just released two songs. It was only Carlotta and I, and he sent us a Facebook message – this is back when we only had around 100 followers – and said, "Hey guys, I really really like your songs, and I'm going to Primavera Sound. If you guys are going, I would love to meet you there." We were going just to see bands so we met up with him really quickly. He was really nice and sweet. When we were thinking about this record, we knew that we wanted to make a step by not working with a friend, but with someone who has a [production] background. We thought of him because he would tweet at us and had been keeping track of where Hinds was. We brought him to Madrid and he totally just let us do whatever we wanted. With the way Hinds started, everything is really private and in a close circle. It felt frightening to have someone with a name that we respected getting inside our process. But we write all the songs before we get in the studio, and he was totally cool with us coproducing the album, which was really fun for us.
OT: As a group, you've commented that you feel like people don't give you a lot of credit since you're an all-girl band. You had such a successful run on your first album and tour, and now have done the same with your second album. Do people continue to treat you that way while recording and touring with the new album, or has it gotten any better?
AP: I think it's gotten a little bit better, which kind of sucks because it means you have room for so many years [like this]. If you didn't like Hinds last year, you don't get Hinds this year. It's not fair, but I do feel like it's getting better, because before there was this whole belief that it was bad because we were a new [band]. Maybe now on the second one, it's just because my hair isn't longer – there's always some stupid excuse. We have to fight a 100 percent more that anyone else, and all the time be proving certain things: the way we dress, talk, pose, play, sing and dance. Everything is under watch. It's way easier to judge us than any other band.
OT: Does that get exhausting after awhile? Do you ever get to a point where you decide to just not think of people judging you, or is it always in the back of your mind? How do you get to a point where you're all thinking, "Screw them, we're going to do whatever we want?"
AP: We don't usually read reviews and things every day. Those specific people's opinions are not in our day-to-day because we're just touring and being with our fans, who totally respect us and are the best fans in the world. The worst thing that can happen is that it can actually convince you. It gets to the point where constantly people are telling you things, and you think, "Well, maybe I'm just here because I have boobs!" In the weakest moments, the worst thing that can happen is when those things can actually convince you because of the constant pressure of it, but we're getting better at [not listening]. It's really lucky, being a group of four and all experiencing the same problems. It's really easy for us to talk about it. When I'm feeling down, I have Carlotta telling me the things that I would tell her when she's down.
OT: Tell me more about this bond that you have with your bandmates. I know you and Carlotta are old friends and you found Ade and Amber through Facebook. What's it like making music and touring the world as a group of four women?
AP: It has gone from being friends to being sisters, which has its good things because now there's nothing that can break that, but at the same time, you lose a lot of things because all the time we're sharing everything. Even when we get to Madrid, the first thing we do is have a beer with each other and our other friends. We love the same things, same people and same places so it gets really exhausting. At the same time, we have something indescribable. The life we have, our whole experience, it's such a crazy thing for four girls from Madrid. Everything we do is so specific that I think no one in the world would really understand it. You can try to explain it, but not my mom, my best friend, my manager – these people who are still close to it – no one f—ing knows what it is to be in Hinds, the good things and the bad things. And suddenly you share this experience with three different people – it's just really a sisterhood.
Hinds play U Street Music Hall on Friday, May 11 with Made Violent. Doors and show at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20. All ages.

Is Jaime Munguia ready for Janibek Alimkhanuly?
02/20/2022 - By Will Arons - Comments
Last Saturday night, Jaime Munguia blasted through previously unbeaten D'Mitrius Ballard, stopping the Maryland native in the third round at the Bullring by the Sea, Tijuana, Mexico.
It's believed that the only fight that Munguia and his promoters are looking for is a middleweight title well-paying money fight against IBF champion Gennadiy Golovkin. Other than him, no other champion needs to apply for the contest.
The money that Munguia can make fighting Golovkin would be considerable, and he would have a chance of beating the soon-to-be 40-year-old fighter, as he's getting older and hasn't fought a high-caliber opponent in many years since his rematch with Canelo Alvarez in 2018.
If Munguia can dethrone Golovkin, he could potentially hold onto his IBF title for a year or two before he's forced to give up the belts due to his struggles to make the 160-lb limit.
It's debatable whether Munguia will make weight for more than another fight at middleweight because he's growing rapidly and already looks as heavy as super middleweight contender David Benavidez.
It was no accident that Munguia looked ill after weighing in last Friday. That's a signal that the 25-year-old has outgrown the 160-lb division and needs to move up to 168 pronto if he doesn't want to start missing weight over and over, as we saw with Julio Chavez Jr. when he outgrew the middleweight division in 2012.

Janibek a step too far for Munguia?
Munguia says he wants to fight for a world title in "early May." Still, for that dream to become a reality, he's going to need to face the highly dangerous Janibek Alimkhanuly, assuming the WBO 160-lb title is vacated by champion Demetrius Andrade.
Thus far, Andrade still hasn't relinquished this WBO strap, and there's a possibility he'll be allowed to sit on the title while he goes up to 168 to face Zach Parker for the WBO interim title. If that's the case, the best Munguia can hope for is to battle #2 WBO Janibek for the interim middleweight title.
The question is, will Golden Boy allow Munguia to take the fight with Janibek?
It would have been better for Munguia to have fought the heavy-handed Janibek when he first moved up to 160 before he began having problems making weight for the class.
Now that Munguia is in his mid-20s, it's evident that he's outgrown the middleweight division and needs to move up to 168 as soon as possible to avoid a loss.
Munguia looked bloated & slow
The former WBO junior middleweight champion Munguia didn't look that sharp last Saturday night in his fight with Ballard, as he looked bloated, heavy for the division, and not as quick as he'd been in his previous four fights at middleweight.
Read: Errol Spence fights in April, Keith Thurman expected opponent
Had that been the Janibek (11-0, 7 KOs), who has been compared to a younger version of Gennady Golovkin, Munguia might have tasted his first career defeat.
Janibek punches a lot harder than Ballard, and he wouldn't have made a stupid mistake of backing up against the ropes repeatedly the way the Maryland native did in that fight.
The victory for the #1 WBC, #1 WBO, #2 WBA, and #12 IBF ranked Munguia (39-0, 31 KOs) was his fifth since he moved up to the middleweight division in 2020.
With that said, some boxing fans are beginning to wonder when Munguia's handlers are going to give him the green light to fight for a world title at 160, as he's had open invitations from both WBC champion Jermall Charlo and WBO belt-holder Demetrius Andrade for a chance to fight for their belts.
Munguia could have already fought Charlo and Andrade for their belts, but instead, he's been getting slowly acclimated to the 160-lb division at a glacial pace, fighting these middle-of-the-road bunch:
D'Mitrius Ballard
Gabe Rosado
Kamil Szeremeta
Tureano Johnson
Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan
"I'm definitely aiming for a world title fight later this year, hopefully in the summer. Early May is my goal," Munguia said to DAZN News.
Read: Anthony Joshua's new trainer expected to be Derrick James
"If it were my choice, I would really like to fight Gennadiy Golovkin or the winner of Golovkin vs. Murata," Munguia said.
There's little chance that Munguia will get a shot at the winner of the Golovkin-Murata fight, as it's expected to be Golovkin, and he'll be facing Canelo Alvarez in September.

The Coming Storm: the Rise of Extreme Weather
The dangers of rapid climate change can sometimes seem distant and irrelevant, a concern for the next generation which is unlikely to affect us today. Yet the clear increase of extreme weather incidents is further evidence of why rising greenhouse gas emissions is such a risk to the world today.
The UK is an obvious starting point. 2012 was the second wettest year on record and saw thousands of floods across the country, especially in the southwest and Scotland. The summer downpours left the ground saturated and meant many families endured a miserable Christmas in temporary accommodation. 1 in every 5 days saw flooding in 2012.
While the UK was wet, the US was dry. A 16-month stretch from June 2011 to September 2012 of above-average monthly temperatures saw the US record its hottest ever year. More concerning than the 2012 heat was a report by Munich Re suggesting that North America has been the most susceptible region to severe weather since 1980. One example is the 2010 flood in Nashville, which officials described as a once-in-a-millennium event.
Meanwhile snowdrifts over 5.5 metres have enveloped Japan, breaking all previous records.
These examples are supported by a multitude of peer-reviewed academic studies which, while cautious to suggest a direct link to climate change, point to an increasingly strong correlation. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has also conducted extensive research on this linkage in its 2012 SREX Report 'Managing the risks of extreme events and disaster to advance climate change adaptation'.
Such reports discuss the dramatic consequences of these extreme weather incidents such as $7.8 billion of infrastructure and agricultural damage in Columbia due to the 2010-11 La Nina. Others describe the rise of floods and cyclones in India or the occasional crash in potato yields.
As the UK continues to recover from last year's floods, the Environment Agency recently reminded the public that 2012 began with a hosepipe ban. This was also the case in 2007, which saw some of the most severe flooding on record. "The extremes of weather that we saw last year highlight the urgent need to plan for a changing climate", the Agency's chairman warned.
It's too early to categorically state that these extreme weather incidents are directly caused by climate change. However the scientific evidence is mounting to prove such a linkage and businesses would be wise to take the devastating effects and increasing frequency of these trends into account.

Konstantin Konstantinovich Saradzhev (; 1900–1941) was a Russian bell ringer, composer, and musical theorist.

The son of the conductor and violinist Konstantin Saradzhev, K.K. ("Kotik") Saradzhev was strongly affected by hearing a powerful church bell at the age of seven and became a musician specializing in bells (though he also played the piano). He was known for "his superhuman aural acuity: between two adjacent whole tones, he perceived not just one half tone but a half tone flanked on either side by a hundred and twenty-one flats and a hundred and twenty-one sharps" and "could distinguish all four thousand of Moscow's church bells" by their unique frequencies. He composed "bell symphonies" making use of the microtonal complexities of Russian bells, but was unable to realize them to his satisfaction in Russia. When Harvard University invited him in 1930 to help install at Lowell House the Danilov Monastery bells Charles R. Crane had bought from Russia, he thought he would be able to perform his works there; disappointed in this and encountering suspicion aroused by his eccentric behavior, he became distraught and was sent back to Moscow, where he wrote a book Muzyka-kolokol ("Music-bell") that has since disappeared and is believed to have died in an insane asylum in 1941. Marina Tsvetaeva's sister Anastasia published a memoir about his life in 1977.
