Global folk-punk troubadour Mike Spine shares poignant anthem for the times, "Crumble"
"Gorgeously arranged folk-rock...Likely to get stuck in your head after the first spin." -- TrebleZine
Seattle/Europe based troubadour Mike Spine premieres a new track from his forthcoming double album anthology today via TrebleZine. Hear and share the poignant anthem, "Crumble" HERE. (Direct Soundcloud.)
UK outlet XSnoize previously shared lead single "Delirious" HERE. (Direct Soundcloud.)
Mike Spine is a critically acclaimed Seattle born and Seattle/Europe based musician known for his captivating live performances, intelligent songwriting and support of humanitarian issues. He has played hundreds of shows in five continents since 1995 and has received press and radio airplay throughout the US, Europe, UK and Asia.
Forage & Glean, Volumes I & II, is the 10th full-length studio album for Mike Spine. It is a 32 track double album, an anthology containing the best of Mike's songwriting and recordings from the last two decades.
Volume I is a collection of Spine's best work of folk rock and rock songs, including the memorable and more relevant than ever "Crumble", personal political songs such as "Meteorite", and the labor themed "Sand in Your Teeth". There's also a hauntingly beautiful version of "The French Girl" and the stripped down "Black Diamond", the lyrically dense and moving tale of families immigrating to work in the coalmines outside Seattle in the early 1900's.
Volume II contains Spine's more explosive rock and punk material. It opens with the dynamic anti-war song "Kiss and Remember" and then launches into fiery, complex and catchy rockers, which touch on the themes of global warming with "Second Hand", empire "Transylvania" and the anti-corruption song, "Power Broker", before transitioning into the hook filled songs like "Iron Lake" hybrid country punk song "Another Day" and the rocker version of "Meteorite".
For twenty years, Mike Spine bounced between the worlds of folk rock, underground rock and punk, while simultaneously working as an inner city language arts and social studies teacher in Seattle, Portland, New York and London.
Since retiring from public school teaching in 2011, Mike has spent his time focused on music, having performed hundreds of concerts and benefit shows in multiple continents, ranging from Italy to Vietnam, Cambodia and Costa Rica. The last few years he has split his time between the US and Europe, touring extensively throughout the EU and often living out of a motorhome for months at a time.
The songs on Forage & Glean were predominantly recorded and mixed at Haywire Recording in Portland, Oregon with longtime engineer Rob Bartleson (Wilco, Pink Martini, Pond, etc.). The album was mastered by Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, REM, Heart, Fleet Foxes, etc.) at RFI/Resonant in Seattle, Washington.
The recordings were made with a highly talented pool of band mates from the United States, Europe and South America over the last decade.
Core musicians on Volume I include Joey Prude and Chris Croft on Drums, Martin Flores on guitars, Katie Toft and Ali Ippolito on piano, accordion and backing vocals, Amelia Claire on backing vocals, Robert Bartleson on electric bass, Brian Casey on upright bass, Barbara Luna on violin and Mike Spine on guitars, vocals, songwriting, arrangements, etc.
Core musicians on Volume II include: Jeff Gall and Chris Croft on drums, Martin Flores on guitars, Richie Parish on guitar and bass, Jack Peters on bass, Amelia Claire on backing vocals and Mike Spine on guitars, vocals, etc.
Forage & Glean, Volumes I & II will be available on CD and download on June 1st, 2018. Pre-orders are available HERE.

Street Doom band R.I.P. to tour with Electric Wizard this week & headline full U.S. dates in June
"Street Reaper is just a disgusting, punk-rock-meets-Black Sabbath shredder that's going to leave a film of filth on any speaker that has the misfortune to output its gnarly sounds." -- Metal Injection
"R.I.P. find a place for '80s and early '90s nostalgia that's not overblown would-be glam or retro-minded thrash, but would nonetheless fit well on a bill next to Slayer during their big-hair days, despite the obvious sonic discrepancies." -- The Obelisk
Portland, OR 'Street Doom' quartet R.I.P. support British heavyweights Electric Wizard on West Coast dates starting this week. And, the band announces its first full U.S. headlining tour to kick off on May 31st. Please see complete dates below. Tour poster available HERE.
R.I.P.'s sophomore album Street Reaper is available to hear and share via YouTube and Bandcamp.
When R.I.P. came crawling out of the sewers of Portland, OR last year, their grimy, sleazy Street Doom was already a fully formed monstrosity that quickly infected the minds of everyone it encountered. Now, borne from the band's declining state of mental health and increasing focus on songwriting, Street Reaper is an even more unhinged and menacing album than their 2016 debut In The Wind.
Borrowing equally from 80s Rick Rubin productions and Murder Dog magazine aesthetics, Street Reaper is a streamlined, yet brutally raw manifesto of heavy metal ferocity hearkening to the era when both metal and hip hop were reviled as the work of street thugs intent on destroying America's youth.
Throughout, Angel Martinez's guitar and John Mullett's bass are inextricably interlocked, sounding like a massive sonic steamroller, while drummer Willie D keeps the beat solid and simple for the most powerful impact. And, the band's extensive touring and excessive virgin sacrifices have clearly endued singer Fuzz with evermore agile vocal chords to drive it all home with extreme precision.
Operating on the belief that doom is not tied to a tuning or a time signature, but rather a raw and terrified feeling, R.I.P. eschews well trodden fantasy and mysticism tropes of the genre and focuses on conveying the horror and chaos inherent in the everyday reality of the human mind. With several years of touring under their heavily studded belt, R.I.P. has distinguished themselves from the interchangeable hordes of bands trying to play heavy metal by crafting an aesthetic and a sound all their own, focusing on the things that make metal heavy rather than adhering to the formulaic confines of a particular sub-genre.
Street Reaper opens with the knockout punch of "Unmarked Grave" and the rest is just sheer bludgeoning for bludgeoning's sake as the album echoes the grimy vibe of legends like Saint Vitus, Pentagram and Motorhead, with the no b.s. aesthetic of the early Metal Massacre compilations.
Street Reaper is available on LP, CD and download, released October 13th, 2017 via RidingEasy Records.

Mick's Jaguar (NYC noisy, guttural rock'n'rollers) premiere new track from forthcoming RidingEasy Records debut
"An infectious 10-track spinner. As the band's name implies, Mick's Jaguar has definitely got a hearty Stones vibe to it. That, coupled with those searing metallic riffs got me right into the record's groove." -- Doomed & Stoned
New York City rock 'n' roll sextet Mick's Jaguar premiere a new track from their forthcoming debut album on RidingEasy Records today via Doomed & Stoned. Hear and share "The Real Boss" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)
The band previously launched the first single "Blood On The Snow" via YouTube.
Rock and roll is dead in New York City. Long live New York City rock and roll. Mick's Jaguar is bringing noisy, wild, unafraid big rock back to NYC. Crazy rents, corporatized venues, and kids listening to DJ's: it's hard being a band in this town.
This isn't LA and Mick's Jaguar is a product of their environment: a windowless dungeon practice space 20 feet below the trash covered sidewalk of the Lower East Side. Rats, grime, the sounds of the city; Mick's Jaguar gleefully pillages the history of rock music to create thoroughly modern, but classic rock and roll. Not quite punk, but not metal either, this is hard rock and roll that's been put through the brain blenders of 6 musicians who pair their Judas Priest shirts with Steely Dan hats. They claim no musical lineage to New York - they just live there. If you need to compare them to something, the night AC/DC played CBGB's would be about as close as you can get.
The group formed as a drunken Rolling Stones cover band, and after a few years of mainlining Stones songs and playing sporadic shows marred by violence and sprayed by beer, they started writing originals that attracted the attention of RidingEasy Records. And their new album, Fame and Fortune, sounds absolutely nothing like the Stones. The three guitarists -- yes three guitars -- open the album with a riff of buzzsaw intensity that would make a Ramone proud. But then like Jim Morrison sashaying into a wine shop, it drunkenly careens into a big sounding rock and roll album somewhere in between Van Halen and Tres Hombres. Guitar solos abound, Thin Lizzy harmonies soar, the bass and drums make a groove that will shake the asses on the dance floor and put a rumble in your loins. Songs about life, death, cars, blood, murder, sex, drugs and booze are the world of Mick's Jaguar. Don't forget - this is what rock and roll is all about. Listen close and you'll hear hat tips to your bands, Mick's Jag knows their history and likes to rip it apart.
Recorded in Brooklyn at Figure 8 Recording by engineering wizard Philip Weinrobe, and fueled by a steady diet of Allen's Coffee Brandy, the Fame And Fortune sessions resulted in only one hospital visit and it just might be your favorite album of 1978, 1988, or 2018. This is music that's made for listening to while driving fast in your car, and while relaxing at the local strip club. It's okay to have fun. Cute indie bands make everyone puke. That shit stops now. Let there be rock.
Fame and Fortune will be available on LP, CD and download on June 22nd, 2018 via RidingEasy Records. Preorders are available at ridingeasyrecs.com

Svvamp premiere new single from upcoming RidingEasy sophomore album via The Obelisk
"A near-perfect debut record." -- New Noise Magazine
"There isn't one song that wouldn't work as a 45rpm single. And perhaps the band's greatest strength lies in their utter lack of pretense." -- The Obelisk
"Arguably the band of the year." -- Doom Charts
Jönköping, Sweden trio Svvamp premiere a new single from their forthcoming sophomore album Svvamp 2 today via The Obelisk. Hear and share "Hillside" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)
Paste Magazine recently launched the lead single, "Queen" HERE.
Svvamp's self-titled debut was a breath of fresh air -- unpretentious and free, primordial homespun classic rock that landed in the Top 20 Albums of 2016 in the Doom Charts consortium of writers and radio. The most common remark being just how genuine and uncontrived it sounded, unlike most bands that posture and mimic the sounds of yesteryear.
So, it may be hard to grasp how fully realized the band sounds on Svvamp 2, while still sounding as laid back as their debut. Perhaps it can be partly attributed to Svvamp's jump from self-recording on a 4-channel cassette deck to self-recording on a comparatively expansive SIX-channel system. That's two whole more tracks to fill up, folks! The obvious comparison to the groundbreaking psychedelic albums of the late 60s, when artists began experimenting with studios moving from 4, to 8 to 16 tracks, is fitting here, too.
"On Svvamp 2 the sound is more raw in the sense that it's stripped," vocalist/ drummer Adam Johansson explains. "So the music is more bare. We make sure all of the instruments are treated equally, they all have their place in a song. Obviously, with 6-tracks now available we've had a bit of fun with that."
Svvamp is three friends -- Johansson, Henrik Bjorklund and Erik Stahlgren, all of whom share lead vocal duties -- drawn together for the sake of jamming and a love of rock, folk and blues. Their resulting heavy psych sound bears hints of Cream, Eric Bell-era Thin Lizzy, CCR and Crazy Horse.
Svvamp 2 opens with a lightly plucked electric guitar line that Clapton would be proud to claim his own, before quickly launching into the heavy riff anthem "Queen", echoing the bare chested bravado of Grand Funk Railroad. "Sunshine Street" is charmingly unapologetic garage pop reminiscent of Big Star. "The Wheel" is a hook-loaded bluesy rocker, while "How Sweet It Would Be" hearkens to the glazed zombie drive of Canned Heat's "On The Road Again." Elsewhere, "Alligator" brings on a showstopping stomp of dueling guitars, syncopated drums and wailing, distorted vocal howls to close out the proceedings with fitting aplomb.
"We definitely wanted to mix styles and genres, so the music stays interesting for the band, like the first record," Johansson says. "Our approach is still fairly straightforward and live. And, all of us sharing lead vocal duties solidifies that the band consists of three equal members."
Svvamp 2 will be available on LP, CD and download on June 8th, 2018 via RidingEasy Records. Preorders are available at www.ridingeasyrecs.com.

The Quietus streaming 'Brown Acid: Sixth Trip' compilation of rare 60s-70s pre-metal singles in full ahead of 4/20 release
"So rare that diehard fuzz junkies say you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a physical 45 rpm single by one of the bands featured on their latest installment." -- Dangerous Minds
"Will do for hard rock, proto-metal and heavy psych what Nuggets did for garage rock, and bring it to a wider audience of collectors and music fans." -- The Guardian
"We're huge fans of the Brown Acid series... Think of it as a companion to the essential Nuggets compilation but covering artists and records that never made it out of their hometowns." -- Ultimate Classic Rock
The forthcoming latest edition of the popular compilation series of long-lost vintage 60s-70s proto-metal and stoner rock singles, Brown Acid: The Sixth Trip, is streaming in full via The Quietus ahead of its April 20th release date. Hear & share Brown Acid: The Sixth Trip HERE. (Direct YouTube.)
Ultimate Classic Rock recently premiered "Inferno" by Heat Exchange HERE. Paste Magazine launched the first single, "No Parking" by Gold HERE. CvltNation also shared "Luvin', Huggin' & More" by Flight HERE. The series is curated by L.A. label RidingEasy Records and retailer/label Permanent Records.
About Brown Acid: The Sixth Trip:
This time around we have 10 deep cuts from across the continental US of A and one from our neighbors up North. This Trip kicks off with an outrageous number from Gold out of San Francisco circa 1970. The band used to open their sets with this over-the-top frantic jammer which is absolutely mind-blowing and also leads one to believe that the only band that could've held a candle to Gold back in the day would've been the mighty Blue Cheer.
As we delve deeper into the depths, Canadians continue to prove that they could bang heads with the best of 'em! Heat Exchange from Toronto released the rollicking ripper "Inferno" on the Yorkville label way back in 1968 and it's still thumping almost 50 years later! Missouri isn't a state that brought us a lot of heavy 45s, but there are a handful of outstanding tracks from the Show Me State, one of which is the funk-laced anthem "Give Me Time" by Backwood Memory from Kansas City.
The longer we do this, the more we begin to believe that Youngstown, Ohio was the Hard Rock Mecca back in the day. Travis is yet another Youngstown group that aimed to get asses out of seats and out in the streets. "Lovin' You" is a groovy banger with a sultry riff originally released on the prolific Starshine Productions imprint. Six years prior to his Arcadian synth-funk novelty hit "Space Invaders" from 1980, Victor "Uncle Vic" Blecman took Flight into the studio with a list of relationship requirements. Amongst which are his need for "Luvin', Huggin', & More", with emphasis on the "More" part if we're to believe the urgency with which he delivers this fist-pumper.
If you don't immediately recognize the Truth & Janey moniker, you need to get with it and familiarize yourself with their incredible 1976 LP No Rest For The Wicked. It's a proto-metal masterpiece that's been reissued on Rockadrome. Released four years earlier than their debut LP, "Midnight Horseman" is a 45-only track backed with a cover of "Under My Thumb". Another Iowan group, West Minist'r, self-released three 45s between 1969 and 1975. They're all great in their own way, but "My Life" hit the crunchy sweet spot in '71 with vocals sounding like a fresh from primal scream therapy John Lennon over a zonked-out Hendrix groove. You can count on hearing more from West Minist'r on future Trips.
It's nearly impossible that Dayton, Ohio's Purgatory didn't seize the "Strange Days" and join "The Soft Parade" while "Waiting for the Sun". And although "Polar Expedition" wears its influences on its sleeve, 1969 would have been at least a little worse off if the band hadn't self released this single. Johnny Barnes was definitely "smokin' that reefer" and "drinkin' that wine" when he released "Steel Rail Blues" in 1976. The label states that you could order a copy of this 45 for by sending $1 to a PO Box in Boston and it's the only record on the Brown Acid series that seems to be obtainable currently for about the same amount it was sold for over three decades ago. That said, it's doubtful that it will remain so cheap for much longer.
With a track as heavy as "Is There No Peace" it's easy to let the name of the label on this 45 slide. In Chicago in 1970 PSLHRTZ seemed like as good a label name as any for the guys in Zendik to release this insane recording on. Halfway through the track you might be wondering to yourself, "How was this not a hit?", and then you hear the lyrics to the last bit of the song and understand.
About the Brown Acid series:
Some of the best thrills of the Internet music revolution is the ability to find extremely rare music with great ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half a century -- particularly in genres that lacked hifalutin arty pretense. Previously, only the most extremely dedicated and passionate record collectors had the stamina and prowess to hunt down long forgotten wonders in dusty record bins -- often hoarding them in private collections, or selling at ridiculous collector's prices. Legendary compilations like Nuggets, Pebbles, ad nauseum, have exhausted the mines of early garage rock and proto-punk, keeping alive a large cross-section of underground ephemera. However, few have delved into and expertly archived the wealth of proto-metal, pre-stoner rock tracks collected on Brown Acid: The Sixth Trip.
"I essentially go through hell and high water just to find these records," Barresi says. "Once I find a record worthy of tracking, I begin the (sometimes) extremely arduous process of contacting the band members and encouraging them to take part. Daniel and I agree that licensing all the tracks we're using for
Brown Acid is best for everyone involved," rather than simply bootlegging the tracks. When all of the bands and labels haven't existed for 30-40 years or more, tracking down the creators gives all of these tunes a real second chance at success.
Brown Acid: The Sixth Trip will be available everywhere on LP, CD and download on April 20th, 2018 via RidingEasy Records. Pre-orders are available for digital (with immediate download of the first single) at Bandcamp, physical pre-orders at RidingEasy Records.

Renaud de Dammartin (Reginald of Boulogne) (c. 1165 – 1227) was Count of Boulogne from 1190, Count of Dammartin from 1200 to 1214 and Count of Aumale from 1204 to 1214. He was son of Alberic III of Dammartin and Mathilde of Clermont.

Brought up at the French court, he was a childhood friend of Philip Augustus. At his father's insistence he fought for the Plantagenets. Received back into Philip's favour, he married Marie de Châtillon, daughter of Guy II de Châtillon and Adèle of Dreux, a royal cousin.

In 1191, Renaud's father, Alberic, kidnapped and had Renaud marry Ida, Countess of Boulogne. The County of Boulogne thereby became vassal to the French king, rather than the count of Flanders. While this marriage made Renaud a power, it also made enemies in the Dreux family and that of the count of Guînes, who had been betrothed to Ida.

In 1203, Renaud and his wife gave a merchant's charter to Boulogne. This was probably made for financial consideration. Philip made Renaud Count of Aumale the following year, but Renaud began to detach himself. Following the acquisition of Normandy in April 1204, King Philip granted Renaud the county of Mortain and the honor of Warenne which was centered on the fortresses of Mortemer and Bellencombre.  Both Mortain and Warenne had been held by William I of Boulogne and it would appear that King Philip recognized the Boulogne claim to them.

In 1211, he refused to appear before Philip in a legal matter, a suit with Philippe de Dreux, bishop of Beauvais. Philip II seized his lands and on 4 May 1212 at Lambeth, Dammartin made an agreement with King John who had also lost possessions to Philip. Renaud brought other continental nobles, including the Count of Flanders, into a coalition with John against Philip. In return he was given several fiefs in England and an annuity. Each promised not to make a separate peace with France.

With the Emperor Otto IV and Ferdinand of Flanders, he took part in the attack on France in 1214 culminating in the Battle of Bouvines. Commanding the Brabançons, he was on the losing side, but was one of the last to surrender, and refused submission to Philip Augustus. His lands were taken away, and given to Philip Hurepel. Renaud was kept imprisoned at Péronne for the rest of his life, which ended in suicide.  His daughter Matilda II was married to Philip Hurepel.

Newton eliminates defending 6A state champion Tift County 52-49
Basketball | February 18, 2015 by score-editor | 0 Comments
Photo by Ty Freeman
Class AAAAAA fourth-seeded Newton pulled off a stunning upset Wednesday night, beating Tift County 52-49 in the first round of the GHSA State Playoffs. Newton led 24-18 at half and was cruising in the second half before Tift went on a 20-15 run in the final quarter. Tift, the second-ranked team in the state, trailed 50-48 when Newton turned it over with 23.8 second left, stepping out of bounds after an inbounds pass. Preston Horne was then fouled but hit only one of two free throws. D.J. Hill would then hit both free throws for Newton and Tyrie Jackson's three-point shot as time expired for Tift bounced off the rim. Newton was led by J.D. Notae with 22 points. Four Newton players added six points: D.J. Hill, Jaquan Simms, Malik Wilson and Donovan Grubb. Tift finishes the season at 26-2. Newton came into the game at 20-7 but had finished 6-7 in Region 2 and will visit No. 2 seed Dacula out of Region 8 in Saturday's second round.

Under the Lens: Homegrown energy in Wisconsin
As Seen in the Defender, Science: Under the Lens
December 8, 2022 , By Paul Mathewson
Which land use produces more energy per acre, corn ethanol or solar?
More than a million acres of land in Wisconsin is used to grow corn for ethanol
One of the concerns about utility-scale solar development is the amount of land needed for these large solar facilities, which are commonly placed on agricultural land. In Wisconsin, we already use one million acres of agricultural land to harvest energy in the form of corn grown for ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol formed through the fermentation of sugars in corn grain. Ethanol is blended with gasoline in order to meet Clean Air Act requirements for making transportation fuel cleaner burning and to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires certain volumes of renewable fuel replace petroleum-based fuel.
The one million acres of corn grown to produce ethanol represents about a quarter of all corn planted in our state. By comparison, an estimated 3,500 acres in Wisconsin are currently used for utility-scale solar (with thousands more approved), but that number needs to grow to 170,000-200,000 in order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This is still only 20% of the land already used to grow corn for ethanol.
This existing use of land to generate energy leads to the question of what is a more efficient land use from an energy production standpoint: harvesting energy from growing corn for ethanol or from solar panels.
One metric used to evaluate relative efficiency is comparing the similar end uses of the two energy generation pathways. There are several analyses looking at how many miles of vehicle transport can be powered from corn ethanol compared to using solar to power transportation. These analyses typically find that one acre of solar panels can power 70-90 times more miles of electric vehicle transport than corn ethanol can power internal combustion engine vehicle travel.
This large difference is driven by two factors: 1) solar panels are much more efficient at turning solar energy into electricity than corn is at converting solar energy into biomass (which is subsequently converted to ethanol) and 2) electric vehicles are much more efficient than internal combustion engines.
To account for the latter, even if the ethanol was converted to electricity to power electric vehicles, solar panels would still power 25-35 times more electric vehicle miles.
However, one must also consider how much input is required to obtain these energetic outputs. Corn needs to be grown, harvested and processed into ethanol, all of which requires energetic inputs. Likewise, solar panels need to be manufactured and installed. One metric used to evaluate this is called "Energy Return on Investment," or EROI. This metric is the ratio of the energy generated to the energy input required. For example, an EROI of 2:1 means that for every one unit of input, you get two units of output. EROI estimates vary considerably from analysis to analysis, depending on what inputs are considered.
Published EROI estimates for corn ethanol range from 0.64:1 to 1.73:1, typically around 1.2:1. These numbers suggest that corn ethanol is barely breaking even, and at worst requiring more energetic input than it produces. At an EROI of 1.2: 1, 80% of the total energetic output is offset by the input requirements, resulting in a net energetic return of 20%. Even optimistically using an EROI of 2:1 for corn ethanol, half of the total energetic output is offset by input requirements.
Published EROI estimates for solar range from 3.75:1 to 30:1, typically around 8:1. This indicates that only 12% of solar energetic production is offset by input requirements, resulting in a net energetic return of 88%.
Thus, when accounting for inputs, the net energy production of solar is 100-125 times that of corn ethanol.
Finally, we note that only comparing vehicle miles powered ignores an energetic pathway of societal value from ethanol production that needs to be considered when comparing land use efficiency. Coproducts of ethanol production (e.g., distillers grains and corn gluten meal) are used as livestock feed.
To account for this, one can look at the total amount of energy, regardless of how it is used, generated by solar panels compared to the total energy contained in corn, assuming it all gets used. Using average 2021 corn yields in Wisconsin and conservative solar electricity generation rates in Wisconsin, solar panels still generate 16 times more gross energy per acre than corn produces.
In sum, while there is no perfect comparison of the land use efficiency of growing energy with corn versus generating energy with solar panels, all the metrics described demonstrate that solar is far more efficient at generating energy. This comparative land use efficiency should be considered alongside other environmental considerations such as the water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that accompany corn ethanol production.

Roxanne is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978 as a single and on their album Outlandos d'Amour. It was written about a prostitute in southern France. Police lead singer Sting wrote the song, inspired by the prostitutes he saw near the band's seedy hotel while in Paris, France in October 1977 to perform at the Nashville Club. Can't Stand Losing You. The Police.

Police guitarist Andy Summers made a key contribution to this song. In our interview with Summers, he explained: "'Roxanne' is so identified by that guitar at the beginning - the first verse before he starts singing. It's immediately identifiable. The Police performed this when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. With the exception of a drunken jam at Sting's wedding in 1992, it was the first time they played together since they broke up in 1986 over personal differences

Deal that would have ploughed millions of pounds into GKN's pension scheme put on hold by asset-stripping owner Melrose
Published: 17:00 EST, 27 August 2018 | Updated: 17:00 EST, 27 August 2018
A deal that would have ploughed millions of pounds into GKN's pension scheme has been put on hold by its asset-stripping owner Melrose.
The vulture investor has called off efforts to sell one of its other operations, office furniture maker Ergotron, due to a management reshuffle.
Delay: Melrose promised to plug a £1 billion black hole in the engineering firm's pension when it seized control this year
Ergotron is valued at around £620m, with 5 per cent of this (£31m) pledged by Melrose to the GKN pension scheme. Melrose promised to plug a £1 billion black hole in the engineering firm's pension when it seized control this year. The delay will spark fears it is neglecting its responsibilities as directors instead focus on maximising profits by carving the firm up.
Just three months after Melrose's hostile takeover of... Millions of small shareholders locked out of voting against...

Ergotron is looking for a new chief executive after its previous boss stood down due to ill health.
A Melrose spokesman said it was waiting for a new chief to be appointed before selling Ergotron, adding: 'Melrose reached an agreement with the pension trustees to invest up to £1bn into the pension funds of GKN. That pledge stands.'
Melrose is expected to auction off GKN's powder metallurgy arm for up to £1.8 billion.

MonkeyPaw games picked up distribution rights for Dezaemon Plus, which is like the Mario Paint of vertical scrolling shooters. Players can design levels, sprites, bosses, and music to make that Einhander sequel Squaresoft forgot about. Once you create a shooter you can share it with people who own Dezaemon Plus by uploading the save file on to the internet. Maybe we can set up a little community for this. Anyone interested?
Blockids, the other import game from MonkeyPaw this week, is Breakout with perspective shifting (you can switch the camera for behind the paddle action) and a mermaid (she's one of the selectable characters).
Each game costs $5.99 on PlayStation Network. Both will be available tomorrow.

One July day in 1988, a group of avid cyclists decided that it would be fun and challenging to ride from Evergreen to Vail, Colorado. And so it was. Thirty years later and thousands of more friends beside them, the Triple Bypass is an epic bucket-list ride that has donated millions to charitable non-profits.
The Triple Bypass travels over gorgeous mountain passes (we limit vehicular access on many roads for your safety and comfort) and on bike paths. You will ride with thousands of your friends, snack yourself silly with 5 aid stations and finish it all off with a catered feast and expo.
Wondering about the Double Triple Bypass from Evergreen to Avon and back again? In celebration of our 30th Anniversary, we are going back to our roots and offering the classic single day version only. Worry not, as with Frosty the Snowman, it will be back again some day.
For our 30th we are offering 2 NEW shorter ride distances in addition to our standard Saturday ride. The shorter routes follow the current course and finish with all the classic 120 ride.
All riders receive a coveted jersey, stocked aid station support, catered finish-line meal, free beer or beverages, and the satisfaction that you have completed something incredible.
With your Triple Bypass registration fee, you'll be treated to the one of the best-supported cycling event you've ever experienced. Over 700 volunteers work hard to make your ride as enjoyable as possible.
The ride is fully supported and assisted by local and state law enforcement, ambulance services, and many non-profit organizations. The ride forges through four counties and the local law enforcement assists Colorado State Patrol providing safety along the way.
