An awesome WitchFest last night at The Unicorn, Camden! We packed the pub with goths, punks, witches, bitches and all kinds of awesome music-lovers!
First up was the fearsome The Creeping Terrors, who treated us to some terrifyingly-good crypt rock.
My favourite song was the 'La Ragazza Zombificata' – an Italian language song about a female zombie taking her revenge on catcallers.
"pensavi fossi la vittima ideale
ma ora il tuo cervello mi voglio mangiare!"
Next up was W*llstonekraft, performing their 'vindication of the rights of undead women': what a treat! A truly mesmerising performance from this stunning new band. We can't wait to see them again.
Winnie and the Rockettes joined us then for a raucous and soulful set. We've been longing to see this band for a while now and they were gloriously satisfying! Looking forward to seeing more from them.
Then then perfect headliner for our WitchFest – the stunning Art Trip and the Static Sound – led by punk Queen, Melodie Holiday. A rabble-rousing set was a fitting close to the night.
Our collection for the evening raised £49.91 (let's just call it £50) for the Solidarity Not Silence Campaign, supporting a group of women facing legal action for speaking up about an abusive man.
All in all, a brilliant LOUD WOMEN night – full of awesome music, dancing, laughing, solidarity and giggles! Some very brave folk even let Cassie paint their faces with spooky "designs". Top fun!
Next gig: 18 November at the Bird's Nest, Deptford – Vulpynes, Duck, Militant Girlfriend and Basic Dicks.

What a great weekend for LOUD WOMEN … first of all, our awesome new t-shirts arrived on Friday and they look spectacular!
Then we kicked it off at a new-to-us venue, The Unicorn Camden Live on Friday with four stonking bands: Ghum, WITCH FEVER, Ghum, Think Pretty, The Noise & the Naive and Witch Fever and Think Pretty. It was a really fun and friendly night, with all the bands supporting each other – exactly what LW is all about!
Saturday afternoon we headed to The Lexington for an all-ages matinee, which went down a treat with a massive crowd of parents and kids! Huge thanks to Argonaut, Thee Dinnerladies, Militant Girlfriend and Rabies Babiesfor coming and playing such fun sets! It was just gorgeous to see tiny kids dancing about with their arms in the air, loving the music, and climbing up on stage to have a bash on the drums and a shout down the mic – some future punkrock stars in the making there I'm sure. Special thanks to Kate Whaite for being Great and keeping the kids entertained with stories and games between bands – she made lots of new fans, small and big 🙂
We've got more, very exciting gigs coming up this Autumn, starting with our 2nd Birthday Party! On 13th October we'll be celebrating at the Fiddler's Elbow – Camden, with 4 of our favourite bands – Foxcunt, GUTTFULL, MX Tyrants and Layzervag.

10 question interviews, interviews, introducing ..., LOUD WOMEN community
Think Pretty: 10 question interview
September 27, 2017 loudwomen	Leave a comment
Think Pretty are your new favourite punk duo from Cardiff: Laura and Mikee. They are playing with us 29 September at The Unicorn in Camden and we couldn't wait to find out more about them, so we asked them 10 questions …
1. Who would you most like to cover your songs?
Laura: I'd say our friends Salt Bath. They're another amazing two-piece from South Wales and would definitely give it an insane makeover. In terms of more well-known bands, maybe Against Me! I'd love our tracks to get the Laura Jane Grace treatment.
Mikee: Scarling.
2. Choose: Cat or dog?
Laura: This is impossible. A couple of years ago I would have easily said I was a cat person as I had a cat, Frankie, since I was in my last year of Junior School and I loved him dearly. Sadly, he died a few years ago and about two years ago we rehomed a French Bulldog called Frank – we thought it was a sign- so I've got to be lame and say both. I really can't choose. Though my boss does say I have a bit of Miss Havisham about me, which I think leans more towards cats.
Mikee: Dog, because I've always been a dog person and I've never known the love of a cat and I'll stick with what I know. And also I feel like dogs put up with more of my shit. I miss my dogs.
3. Choose one of your songs to be played on Strictly Come Dancing. What dance would you like to be performed to it?
Laura: I think it would have to be 'Shroud' and the charleston. It would be bonkers and my mum's head would probably explode. She loves her Strictly!
Mikee: Maybe our song Sex Pest, And a Pagan dance ritual. It really would not work.
4. Choose: Pixies or Breeders?
Laura: I think I'd have to say Breeders, even though I am quite indifferent towards both. I know they're both massively influential bands and lots of people are scared to say they don't know them that well or like them that much, but I'm not! I don't hate them, I don't love them. Make of that what you will.
Mikee: Pixies. But I woulda said The Breeders if Kristin Hersh could be the front person. That woulda been fun to mix it up like that.
5. Recommend a record and a book that you think our readers might not have heard of.
Laura: There are so many wonderful books it's so difficult! The one that popped into my head first was The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I think it may have been one of the only books I've read that made me gasp out loud. My record recommendation would be Queenadreena – 'Drink Me'. It was a game changer for me and sent me down a completely different musical path.
Mikee: Book I'd recommend is Louise Lawrence – Children Of The Dust. It's a really brilliant post-apocalyptic survival novel from the 80s, wherein three generations of a family is explored and their story is told. It's pretty cool and has very strong female roles. Record: Everyone probably knows this, but incase they don't, 'Taxidermy' by the now defunct band Queen Adreena. I think that's as close to heroin as you'll ever get without using. It's a beautiful album. Everything is perfect. Probably why I'm in bands now, haha!
6. Bikini Kill or Fugazi?
Laura: Bikini Kill. Kathleen Hanna was and continues to be a huge inspiration. If I say anymore I'm sure I'll end up doing her a disservice so I'll leave it at that.
Mikee: Bikini Kill. I also love Fugazi, but Bikini Kill has been a bigger inspiration to me and Kathleen's other bands continue to do so. I remember finding the first demo LP by Fugazi and hearing them for the first time. Dancing around to 'Waiting Room' in my room at a squat I lived in when I was younger. I really like that memory.
7. What's the most difficult thing about being in your band?
Laura: I'd say trying to balance it with everything else, work, partners, life. It's always a huge priority for me but it gets frustrating when you have to put it on the backburner. 'Cos we all need to pay the bills! Money is also an issue, or the lack of it. By the time you pay for practice rooms, petrol to gigs, merch etc you're lucky if you break even. Saying that I'd rather be spending my last penny on this band than something frivolous.
Mikee: I definitely would struggle to find anything to see that would be deemed as "difficult". I guess if I had to, maybe not having more time and resources to focus more on writing and recording! We are getting better at that though. Slowly but surely wins the race. Even though it's not a race and we're not competitive haha. Life certainly gets in the way though. I'd play everyday if I could. Will play for beer and vegan food.
8. What are your band goals?
Laura: To play our music to as many people around the world as possible, everywhere from squats in Berlin to DIY venues in the US. I also just want to improve musically and lyrically and continue to push the envelope in terms of what Think Pretty can do. Oh and record more, much more! I should also stop giving Mikee as much of a hard time as I do haha.
Mikee: Definitely to tour. I would absolutely love to get over to Germany and play some squats and social centre type venues and spaces. Hit the dusty trail and don't look back. haha. Also maybe split release EPs with other like-minded folks. That would be cool.
9. What's the most important thing we need to know about your band right now?
Laura: I really feel like we have something different to offer. We're not perfect and we're firm believers that passion triumphs over technical prowess every time. Each time we play we give everything we have and lay ourselves bare. Even if you don't like us, I hope you'll leave a Think Pretty show feeling something.
Mikee: We're fatter in real life. Just kiddin. So when we play live it's a whole different beast. I feel that any studio stuff can only capture so much. We definitely up the intensity when we're on stage. Like GG Allin but without the poo and blood.
10. Give your top 5 contemporary bands
Laura: This is so hard, so I'm just going to put what I've been listening to recently. This list will definitely have changed by next week. Worriers – The band as a whole is amazing, but it's Lauren Denitzio's lyric writing that keeps me coming back. Beach Slang – my boyfriend introduced me to this band. I was very late to the party! They write sing-a-long punk anthems but there is a poetry to James Alex's lyrics and I love that. Sense a theme yet? I'm all about the lyrics! Mikee focuses more on the music, so we complement each other beautifully. Against Me! – this band can do no wrong in my eyes. They continue to evolve while also staying true to their punk roots. I've seen them live a number of times and they've smashed it on every occasion! St. Vincent – She's brilliantly bonkers and pushes boundaries. She's a true innovator, even designing her own guitars and using the cover story about that on Guitar World to call out the inherent bullshit sexism that runs throughout that magazine and others like it. Limp Wrist – I saw Jo from Salt Bath post that this band had a new album out so had to listen to them. They're amazing! Brilliantly intense, yet still sneak in the hooks.
Mikee: Chelsea Wolfe – Because it's the perfect balance of heavy and gorgeously gothic. Dead Cross – Because sometimes you just need to go nuts and smash things up. This is perfect music to do that to. Max Richter – Everything that he makes/composes is just insanely beautiful and it makes me want to cry. Myrkur – Because Amalie's music is magically beautiful and crushingly heavy. Last but not least Rose Kemp, however I think she maybe no longer performs? But she's brilliant. I actually didn't like her the first time I met her. But I think she had a bit of a bad gig. But my opinion has since changed. She has released some amazing music that really spans some impressive style and influence. It's all very clever.

10 question interviews, Gigs, interviews, introducing ..., LOUD WOMEN community
Ghum: 10 question interview
Ghum play "atmospheric dark pop", and comprise Laura, Marina, Jojo and Vicki. They are playing with us 29 September at The Unicorn in Camden. We sent them our 10 probing questions …
Vicki: I think a Nick Cave cover of TV could be pretty cool. Or of Wicked Men – I was thinking a bit of the 'Mercy Seat' when coming up with the drum parts.
Jojo: I'd probably say a cover of one of our songs by Dilly Dally would be pretty cool. Something that's entirely raw and fuzzed.
Laura: I´d like to hear a crazy cover from Connan Mockasin making our song undone very very sexy.
Vicki: I'm sure I'll be in the minority here, but I MUCH prefer dogs to cats. They're just…cuter? I really want a dog.
Jojo: Cats for me! Although if I ever got a Chow Chow, I would never look back on the cat life.
Laura: Dogs, definitely. Both are lovely creatures but I guess it makes more sense to have a dog as a pet as cats are so independent.
Vicki: Well, 'Undone' has a bit of a Bossa Nova vibe, so some kind of dance to that would be good. Performed by Ed Balls of course.
Jojo: Ha, what a great question. I'd say it would be a dramatic Paso Doble to 'The Window' would be the one for me.
Laura: a hardcore Reggaeton version of…Wicked Man, we need more feminist Reggaeton that's for sure.
Vicki: I imagine this will be a tricky one for us all to answer given that we're massively influenced by both, but for me I would definitely say the Breeders. Pod is one of my favourite albums ever, and their cover of Happiness is a Warm Gun is probably one of the best covers ever. And Kim Deal is the coolest.
Jojo: I'm the same with Vicki! This is so incredibly hard to choose as Kim Deal is the epitome of cool but if I had to it'd probably be Pixies 'Doolittle' album days. The guitar intro to 'Hey' has to be one of the sexiest riffs I've ever heard. Pus 'Monkey Gone To Heaven' is one of my all time favourite songs.
Laura: Mamma mia, I would have to choose Pixies. I love The Breeders with all my heart but Pixies came first to my life and they made such an impact on me. I´ll never forget the sensation I had listening to Surfer Rosa.
5. Recommend a record and a book that you think our readers might not have heard of
Vicki: 'This Train' by Chrysta Bell & David Lynch is a great record, really atmospheric and beautiful. 'The One Hundred Nights of Hero' is a fantastic graphic novel my good friend Laura bought for me a while back which is described on amazon as 'a witty attack on the patriarchy', which sums it up nicely.
Jojo: Well I'm currently listening to the new Alvvays album that just came out last Friday so hopefully no one's heard that yet, and you definitely should! It's reminds me of a lost soundtrack to 10 Things I Hate About You or something. And for books, I'd say Sapiens is a great, great read. It's absolutely brilliant and interesting, covering topics of how slavery, sexism and rape culture came about. Although I think quite a few have heard of it already but if you're intrigued about the history of humanity broken down into digestible jargon then it's definitely highly recommended.
Laura: An album from a band from the city I come from in Spain, Seville. I don't think a lot of people will know them in England plus the record is about seven years old. DEJESE LLEVAR by FIERA. Punk. They were a revolution for my brain, lots of interesting sounds, exhales more freedom than hate.
I guess this book is actually well known but It was such an intense trip " The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
https://youtu.be/p8ZcaYgghd4
Jojo: Bikini Kill for sure! You can't get any better than Kathleen Hanna, surely.
Vicki: Definitely Bikini Kill – they were a massive influence on me growing up, and I probably wouldn't be playing bands now if it wasn't for them.
Laura: Bikini Kill, because they were also a massive influence on me too!
Vicki: Finding a time we're all free for practice!
Jojo: Ditto that.
Laura: Agree
Jojo: Probably to either tour the world with The Cure or Warpaint, release a debut album one day and inspire more women to be in bands (it's a lot of fun).
Laura: To make music that define us, feeling free to do what we want not worrying about the utility of it. To make a good album, some good videos and yeah, tour the world with Warpaint, obviously.
Jojo: We just filmed our first music video! You heard it here first.
Vicki: LA Witch (who we're playing with soon), Girlpool (who are just great), Sacred Paws, Chastity Belt, and BEYONCE (who isn't a band but always worth adding to any list).
Jojo: So I basically agree with everything Vicki has just named so I'll just extend the above… As of the moment it's Alvvays (their new album is the bomb!), Vundabar (they are an awesome DIY band from Boston who are my all time favourites), Jay Som (I simple adore Melina Duterte's songwriting, plus asian girls rockstar solidarity), DIIV (a year later and I still can't get enough of their second album) and of course Charmpit (megababes of this century).
Laura: Cate le Bon, she frees my mind and makes very genuine, delicate, elegant and quirky, I love her lyrics too. Warpaint, they are the Queens and I love how they make layers and layers of sound that is mixed so softly. I don't know any other band that makes music like them at the moment. Chastity Belt, they activate my feminist fire and I love their guitar melodies. Wavves, I haven't stopped listening to them since 'King of the Beach' and I fell in love with the beachy Californian sound. It makes me feel young and careless. Angel Olsen, her sound and music is everywhere right now, and she's my folky crush at the moment.

Lake Texoma is a big resource for both Sherman and Denison but now officials are looking to the future -- and possibly using more of the lake's water to make sure no one ends up high and dry.
But at what cost to tax payers, not to mention the area's biggest tourist draw? Michelle Gillespie reports that it's a lot of technical detail but it comes down to how much water in Lake Texoma is used NOW, to be converted to drinking water, and how much water the Corps of Engineers says can be used in the FUTURE for drinking water. As it turns out, it may be a lot more than we're using now.
"They're currently looking at the possibility of re-allocating water from hydropower to use for water supply," says Joe Custer of the Corps of Engineers.
That water is from Lake Texoma. As part of that re-allocation study, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has determined that 50,000 acre/foot of water in the lake will now be made available for purchase by any water authority in the state. The top bidders right now? The cities of Denison, Sherman and Gainseville.
"Water is critical to economic development and the population growth of the state," says Jerry Chapman of the Greater Texoma Utility Authority.
So critical that both Denison and Sherman have proposed to buy the maximum amount--10,000 acre/foot each---that's a little over 65,000 gallons. The price tag though? A little over $4 million.
"It does represent the last available surface water supply to communities in our area," says Chapman.
The hefty price tag is worth it, says Chapman, especially to ensure a reliable source of water, in a state that has its share of water shortages.
"It's not a long term problem, there are shortages existing in the state today even in the north texas area, there are shortages," says Chapman.
The city of Sherman and Denison are not currently experiencing a water shortage. However, officials from both cities say they are interested in purchasing the water to plan for their future needs as well as for potential population growth.

I was on the tram. A man in a nearby seat looked rather familiar. Was he someone I knew, or an undercover ticket inspector noticing I hadn't bothered to re-validate my already several-hundred-times-re-validated Yearly ticket, so the tram company beancounters would get their flawed and meaningless statistics for the month?
Of course it was Fraser. Met him a handful of times, but my excuse for not recognising him this time was he wasn't in a suit (day off?) and he looked perhaps slightly less perky than usual (up late the night before?).
Having now gained a positive ID, the conversation got a bit more meaningful, at least for one more stop, before he got off the tram.
PS. On the subject of trams etc: Myki? They called it Myki?! I suppose we've already had Sheena Easton do an ad… maybe next it'll be Toni Basil.
I thought they would have called it "Kanga" or "Emu" considering it's "Oyster" in pommyland, and "Octopus" in Hong Kong.
I need to recharge my Kanga card… I need to recharge my Emu Card… I need to recharge my Myki card?
Are they gonna get Mikey Robins to do the ads for it?

The Perfect Cup at Asado Coffee Company from mike sula on Vimeo.
In addition to espresso, cortado, cafe con leche, and iced coffee, former navy vet and self-taught roaster Kevin Ashtari sells hot, made-to-order manual-drip coffee. Every step he takes to get his raw green beans into that cup is small-scale, hands-on, and lovingly methodical. He invested in a custom-built 12-kilo roaster from the U.S. Roaster Corporation that takes up one corner of the space. Every day or two he roasts a new small batch of Ugandan Bugisu beans, which he buys from the direct-trade co-op Crop to Cup. Whether they're his regular roast or the ironically named Siesta, a three-roast espresso blend, none of the beans he sells in the cafe or at the Downers Grove farmers' market on Saturdays are more than two days old—and most times they're not more than a day old.
Asado Coffee Company proves you don't need a $20,000 coffeemaker to brew the perfect cup.
Take it slow and small at this Wrigleyville roaster's cafe.


Hello this is Captain Robert Miley, I finished today with the Chris Gentle from North Carolina on August 30th it was a Peacock bass trip to Blue Lagoon. Chris had an awesome day, we caught over (20) twenty Peacock bass up to (5-1/2lbs) five and a half pounds. He had several in the (4) four pound range, and the fishing was just awesome. He had an awesome trip, the weather was super hot. Couldn't get the fish to hit top-water or jerk-baits. Most of the fish and the good fish came off of live shiners and again it was just a awesome trip. Tight lines, Captain Robert Miley!

Visioneering Technologies Inc.: Redefining Vision
Small Study Supports Ongoing Work on Accommodative Issues and Multifocal Contact Lenses
Amber Zaunbrecher, OD, of Eye to Eye Vision Center in Marietta, Georgia, recalls that she really didn't have any good options left for a patient who came to see her in July 2018. The 35-year-old woman suffered from such severe headaches every day that she was practically unable to function by the end of an ibuprofen-fueled day. The refraction showed a low-plus requirement, but Dr. Zaunbrecher could not improve the near vision to much beyond 20/200 at near without any eyeglasses or contact lens correction. "We don't have much in our arsenal for a same-day option for these patients," she says.
Although she planned to order some low-plus eyeglasses and digital lenses for digital eye strain, Dr. Zaunbrecher had one last thought: the NaturalVue multifocal lens. "I have a contact lens that will help us get the maximum distance correction and the maximum accommodation in one shot," she told the patient. However, she also told her she had never tried it with a patient with her profile before. She told the patient that the lens initially must settle for 10 minutes, and then asked, "Are you interested in exploring this with me?" She fit the patient and escorted her to the reception area to allow her to adapt to the lenses. When she came out 10 minutes later, the patient was reading on her cellphone. "I remember that she looked up at me and said, 'My head doesn't hurt.' Her acuity was 20/20, and I thought that we may be onto something here."
The Visioneering Technologies Inc. representative happened to be in the office and could tell that Dr. Zaunbrecher was excited about these results. The two began to talk about the implications for others with accommodative infacility and other accommodative disorders. "The representative put me in touch with Douglas P. Benoit, OD, FAAO, executive director for professional services at Visioneering Technologies, who was intrigued by the case, too."
Dr. Zaunbrecher and Jennifer Dattolo, OD, FCOVD, who has a vision therapy practice in nearby Woodstock, Georgia, worked together to start seeing if they could identify patients for an "orphan study," meaning that study participants could not be identified simply through a search of patient data with specific parameters. "These patients really have to be identified in the clinic. The accommodative disorders don't become clear until we start doing the near testing," she says. The two doctors met when Dr. Dattolo served as one of Dr. Zaunbrecher's preceptors while she was still at University of Alabama Birmingham School of Optometry.
The pair presented a poster at Optometry's Meeting in 2019, detailing their case study of six nonpresbyopic patients aged 7 to 35 who presented with initial complaints of blur at distance and/or near vision and headaches. These patients were wearing either no corrective eyewear or readers only. All patients experienced immediate improvement in subjective and objective blur when corrected with NaturalVue multifocal contact lenses. The patients also experienced one or more immediate findings of enhanced stabilization of their visual system, demonstrated by improvement in negative relative accommodation/positive relative accommodation, push up amplitudes, near vergences, near point of convergence or flipper bars.
Dr. Zaunbrecher and Dr. Dattolo say that the study provides sufficient evidence for further study. In the meantime, Dr. Zaunbrecher says that she continues to find patients for whom this technology is well-suited. "I had a 13-yearold boy just recently. He's seeing 20/20 in the distance, but when I checked his reading, he is lagging way behind," she says. His mother also noted that he complains about reading and his slow speed. The mom was a reading specialist, says Dr. Zaunbrecher, and the mother tested the boy again after being fit with NaturalVue multifocal contact lenses; his reading speed improved by 33 percent. "For these young students, there's no motivation to sit down and read a book," she says. This strategy can change the way these young people approach their education.
Dr. Zaunbrecher consults with Visioneering Technologies, Inc., and is a member of its Speaker's Bureau.

I never remember to bring earplugs to the server room. This is my own fault.
Actually, your server room ought to be providing them. Workplace safety and OSHA. Bring it up with your shop steward.
They might, now that you mention it… I'm a rare visitor.
I keep a set in my book bag, largely because I tend to wear them at work and while commuting. But still.
What always impresses me is yawning in a DC with earplugs in – how much sound enters through my mouth.

Windham, ME - Joseph F. Boucher Sr. passed away after a short illness from natural causes at home. His passing is a great loss for us all, as his laughter and joking will be missed very much. Joe had a love for racing, probably right out the gate from the time he was born. He always had a love for and loved being at the races. Whether it be just watching, watching his brother Willie race and working on his race car and being in the pit. He also enjoyed watching racing on TV and his Super Bowl was the Daytona 500, he enjoyed watching racing and being at the races with his entire family. I never knew a man who could take an engine apart with their eyes closed and put it back together better than or faster than Joe could.
He was predeceased by his mother Janet Brown his stepdad Richard Brown Sr, his father Justin David Boucher Sr. his brother's David Boucher, Daniel Boucher and Michael Boucher; as well as his sister Susan Ware and Bonnie Edwards, as well as his nephew Joel Edwards.
He is survived by his three son's whom were his shining lights and whom he was very proud of; Joseph F Boucher Jr of Windham, and his mother Terri Goodine, Derrick Daniel Kennedy of Waterboro and his mother Anna Kennedy and Brandon Bowie of South Portland and his mother Marjorie Bowie (whom also was predeceased). He is also survived by his brothers William Boucher of Windham, Robert Boucher and wife Paula of Windham, and Richard Brown Jr. of Windham, his sisters Betsy Boucher of Westbrook and Phylllis Wilde's of Portland. He also has many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews who love him very much he will be sadly missed.

[TGIF] Holding the Compass
The songs listed here typically become the ones that get more plays throughout the year. These week 8, are among the most exciting ever.
Throughout these three years of WTMM, TGIF turned into something really special. Most of the times, these are the songs that get more plays by the end of the year. The ones that more surprisingly become part of us. So, having said that, these are the 8 best releases of the week for us:
Sive – Holding
It's folky, it's mysterious, it's exotic and it's experimental. This is Sive, aka Sadhbh O'Sullivan, an Irish singer-songwriter who is presenting her new single Holding. This is another song where Sive combines her multiple genres and styles, her versatility and uniquely defines a kind of sonority that can be sometimes identified as Lisa Hannigan's compositions, but her world music elements and chords immediately prove that this is a different experience. Listening to Sive's Holding is like traveling around the world in only 2:30 minutes hypnotized by an ethereal voice.
Albee Blue – Good Times
We don't know how the weather is where you are, but here in Lisbon, Portugal, spring has come earlier so songs like Good Times, Albee Blue's last release, are the best ones to listen in sunny days like this. The melody remains continuously melodic and captivating even though there are not many variations. The secret is in Albee's voice and psychedelic elements like a deep bass and an echoing organ. Good Times is some kind of a love song, where the singer explores questions like "what's gonna happens when I die?" after repeating that "you're always on my mind" and "I think about you all the time". Less is more, and this song is a good example of how a simple song can be highly addicted.
Kelsy Karter – Harry
Owner of a sweet and powerful voice, Kelsy Karter is one of the most ambiguous singers we've heard since long time. And not in a bad way! Harry is her newest single and is as frenetic as it can be: Kelsy is sweet and naïve at the beginning and even the instrumental help her giving that image, but as she reaches the chorus her power takes care of her body and soul and not even the instrumental can handle it. Harry is a dedication, is a love letter, "Harry, I'm gonna make you love me/You're gonna make me breakfast",and who wouldn't love to have a dedication like this, so intense?
Red Steppes – Leonide
Sometimes an electric guitar is all we need to have a great song. Is maybe the best way to express our emotions; the ones that are right under our skin wanting to come out. In Leonide the guitar merges perfectly with Red Steppes voice: the raw and non-filtered guitar combine with the juvenile and soft vocals and harmonies. The melody, in other hand, is folky and jazzy and simple on its way, it's almost a lullaby which turns this song into the sweetest one heard this week. This is the first single off of her sophomore album Arcs. We hope the rest can be as exciting and sweet as this one.
Brayden Sibbald – Compass
Twenty-three-year-old Brayden Sibbald produces a mix of beats, synths, loops, samples, guitars, and vocals that from the complexity always emerge as simple but overwhelming. Compass is the latest example of that. In this track, we can certainly recall a lot of our most recent idols (like Chet Faker, James Blake or Foals) but we can also feel something more. Because as much as this is a song about getting lost and the fear of making wrong decisions and stepping into trouble, it always feels calming and like a completing experience. Or like a true compass of the soul.
Franke – Kids
"Writen for a girl I never met". That's how Franke introduces Kids to all the listeners. This is a gorgeous pop song that is perfectly merged with synths and auto-tune components without sounding less than natural and less than original. With bits of The 1975 sonority, and with a circular structure, Kids sounds like an alternative trip every time we hit play. This is the second genre breaker track we've heard from him since Italy and acts as a great indication for the abundance of pop originality that should be his debut EP released two days ago. One we are expecting to be involved with, in a long-term relationship.
Kathleen – The Longest Year
From Colorado comes what could be another stunner. Kathleen (just like that, an ordinary name like many others) got on our radars with The Longest Year released this week. A pop-folk meets experimental wonder track that is as surprising as a song can get. With her vocals verging from Aimee Man to Frou Frou, the sonority never ceases to sound novel and exciting. As it also sounds familiar but mysterious. With the debut EP just around the corner, she might very well be one of the next big things in pop as her vocals sound immense. And she sounds unapologetic about it. Which makes everything sound even more surreally good.
NKLS – Over
NKLS is the first artist to have two tracks featuring at WtMM this year. And that's just fair. After the born-hit duo with Andrew Applepie Catch It, Over is a solo song that continues the same cadenced indietronic sonority. Being her first ever solo single it is refreshing how relaxed but engaging this sounds. Even more, if we pay attention to the lyrics and understand it is actually about negative juvenile experiences or just how we take too seriously others opinions. Over is a step forward from those negative feelings as much as it is a solid step-forward into the music industry. And it sounds as confident as it gets. As ironic as that sounds, that's just a product of a solid and encouraging personality that seems to live inside of a girl that goes by NKLS.
Have a nice Week!!

1 hr ago Xiaomi Mi Rechargeable LED Lamp Launched In India – Goes On Crowdfunding
LG Unveils Two New Smartphones In India With Up to Triple Camera Setup, 4000 mAh Battery
oi-Vivek
By Vivek
| Updated: Wednesday, July 10, 2019, 11:31 [IST]
LG has officially launched two new Android smartphones in India, which costs under Rs. 10,000. The LG W10 and the LG W30 are the latest smartphones from the Korean tech company, which offers a lot of interesting features at a budget price tag.
Along with the LG W30, the company has also launched the LG W30 Pro, which will be unveiled in the coming days, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. Here is everything you need to know about the latest smartphones from LG. All three smartphones will be available exclusively on Amazon India.
LG W10 Features And Specifications
The LG W10 is the most affordable smartphone of the lot, which retails in India for Rs. 8,999. The smartphone comes with a 6.19-inch IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution, protected by 2.5D curved tempered glass. The MediaTek Helio P22 SoC powers the smartphone with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.
The smartphone also has a dual camera set up at the back with a 13 MP primary camera and a 5 MP depth sensor. There is an 8 MP front-facing selfie camera, hidden inside the notch. A 4000 mAh Li-ion battery powers the smartphone with micro USB port for charging and data syncing. Lastly, the smartphone runs on Android 9 Pie OS with almost stock Android UI.
The LG W30 has a slightly bigger 6/.3-inch IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution, protected by 2.5D curved tempered glass. The smartphone offers polycarbonate build quality with a rear-facing fingerprint sensor. The MediaTek Helio P22 SoC powers the smartphone with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for additional storage expansion (hybrid slot).
One major difference between the LG W10 and the LG W30 is the camera. The LG W30 has a triple camera setup with a 12 MP normal sensor, 13 MP ultra wide angle lens with 100-degree field of view and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front, the phone packs in a 16 MP front-facing selfie camera with support for 1080p video recording capability.
Just like the W10, the LG W30 is powered by a 4000 mAh Li-ion battery with support for fast charging via micro USB port with a dedicated headphone jack.
The LG W10 retails in India for Rs. 8,999 and the LG W30 comes with a slightly higher price tag of Rs. 9,999. Both smartphones will be available in different colors, and the device will go on sale from July 3 via Amazon India.
What Do We Think About The LG W10 And LG W30
The LG W10 and the LG W30 looks like premium smartphones, though they are made out of plastic. They offer potent hardware, especially considering the sub Rs. 10,000 price tag. It looks like LG is creating a new smartphone series to compete against the likes of the other budget smartphones which are priced around Rs. 10,000 in India.
