"Quirky Satire Attacking Medieval Catholic Legalism and Piety"
THE LITTLE HOURS is a quirky, lewd satire attacking Medieval Catholic legalism. It's based loosely on one of the more salacious stories of THE DECAMERON by Boccaccio. A drunken Father Tommasso comes across the handsome Massetto in the forest. Tommasso and Massetto get drunk on sacred wine. He asks Massetto to come work for his small convent of nuns. Father Tommasso tells Massetto he should pretend to be a deaf mute, to discourage temptation. However, that's easier said than done.
The comedy doesn't always work in THE LITTLE HOURS, which is too quirky. Besides some "f" bombs, the movie is quite lewd as the nuns pursue their lusts for Massetto and another nun becomes quite unhinged. THE LITTLE HOURS has a strong Romantic, lawless worldview that strongly attacks and lampoons Christianity. That said, a visiting Bishop comes across as sincere when he admonishes Father Tommasso and the nuns for giving into their lust. Even so, the ultimate message of the abhorrent LITTLE HOURS is to indulge the "pleasures of the flesh." LITTLE HOURS also relegates faith and morality to a minor role.
(RoRoRo, FRFRFR, AbAbAb, C, B, OO, HoHo, LLL, VV, SS, NNN, AA, MM) Very strong Romantic, lawless/antinomian worldview contains a very strong attack against Medieval Catholic legalism and piety, although the Catholic Bishop appearing in the movie projects serious sincerity as he strongly admonishes four very sinful nuns and a very sinful priest, plus one nun turns out to belong to a secret witchcraft coven dancing around a fire in the forest, and she later tells another nun when asked that the nun probably would make a very good witch, and the same nun seduces that nun into kissing her and fondling one another; about 34 obscenities (more than half "f" words), three strong profanities and three light profanities; strong and light comical violence includes three nuns pummel handyman and gardener with turnips while beating and kicking him and verbally abusing him, nun screams at deaf worker to see if he's really deaf, man threatened with execution, nun threatens man with knife to force him to fornicate with her and her friend, witch threatens man with being sacrificed, but it appears she may not be serious, and he lives; depicted and implied fornication and adultery, depicted lesbian kissing and fondling between nuns dressed in nightgowns, confession of sodomy, it's implied that a Catholic priest has been sleeping with the head nun at a convent, nude dancing at a witches bonfire; total frontal female nudity during a witches bonfire at night in the forest and images of upper and rear male nudity; alcohol use and drunkenness; no smoking; and, priest and nuns lie, man lies, nuns are mean to a servant, one nun is mean to two servants, nuns are rude, and a woman's rich father is stingy and doesn't want her to marry because he doesn't want to spend money on her dowry.
THE LITTLE HOURS is a quirky, lewd satire attacking Medieval Catholic legalism based loosely on one of the more salacious stories of THE DECAMERON by Boccaccio, a tale about the wayward nuns at a convent. THE LITTLE HOURS invents some characters and significantly changes Boccaccio's story, but it's basically an extremely lewd attack on Catholicism and Christian morality from a Romantic point of view that's antinomian, or lawless, and includes shocking, abhorrent examples of foul language, strong foul language.
In the original story from THE DECAMERON, a handsome young peasant, Massetto, pretends to be a deaf mute so he can work for a Medieval Catholic convent containing eight young nuns and a young Abbess or Mother Superior. The peasant becomes a secret lover of the eight nuns, then also the lover of the Abbess. He lives there until she dies, fathering many children. Basically, the story is a condemnation of corruption within the Medieval church.
In this movie version, however, the convent is run by Father Tommasso who comes across the handsome Massetto in the forest. Massetto has run away from his harsh lord, because he's been sleeping with his master's wife.
Tommasso and Massetto get drunk on some sacred, sanctified wine, and Tommasso asks Massetto to come work for the convent, to replace the convent's day laborer, who ran away because of the harsh treatment he received from three of the convent's young nuns. The three cantankerous nuns include Ginevra, a gossip and tattle tale, Fernanda, a caustic wit, and Alessandra, who wants to leave the convent and get married, but her stingy rich father doesn't want to spend any money on a dowry for her.
Father Tommasso tells Massetto he should pretend to be a deaf mute to discourage temptation. However, that's easier said than done.
Pretty soon, Massetto is fornicating with Fernanda and her friend from the village, Marta. Then, he gets together with Sister Alessandra, who falls in love with Massetto, and he with her. One evening, the nuns have a secret drunken party, and Fernanda seduces Ginevra.
The next day, Ginevra spies on Massetto and decides she wants to have a fling with him too. However, she's too naïve about relations between men and women, and things don't go well.
Into this hotbed of lust comes the visiting Bishop, who has no idea what's occurring at the convent. Soon, everything comes undone, and the Bishop is forced to take action.
THE LITTLE HOURS is a quirky satire that lampoons Medieval Catholic legalism and piety. As such, it's shot like a modern comedy, not a period piece, and derives a lot of its humor from defying expectations. The young nuns don't really want to be at the convent. In fact, they chafe at the convent's boring routine and sometimes even spout a bunch of "f" words when angry for no reason. For example, Fernanda and Ginevra hurl a bunch of "f" words while they berate the day laborer for even daring to look at them. In one scene, they even start beating him up, and Alessandra joins them.
Meanwhile, Father Tommasso clearly is tired of dealing with the petty squabbles between the nuns. He withdraws into the wine cellar, where he becomes drunk.
The comedy doesn't always work in THE LITTLE HOURS, which is a bit too quirky. Besides the "f" bombs, the movie also is quite lewd as the nuns pursue their lusts for Massetto and as Ginevra becomes quite unhinged. Eventually, [SPOILERS] Ginevra finds out that Fernanda secretly belongs to a witch's coven. Ginevra follows her into the forest, where Fernando has taken a bound Massetto to take part in a witchcraft ritual. When Ginevra sees the naked witches dancing around the fire, she immediately takes off her clothes and shocks the witches themselves with her crazy dancing. Meanwhile, Fernanda scares Massetto by pretending she's going to sacrifice him by stabbing him in the heart with her knife. It appears that Fernanda was only pretending, but the movie is a little ambiguous here, so was she really pretending?
When Fernanda and Alessandra drag Ginevra back to the convent, Ginevra causes a commotion that wakes up the Bishop, who's been visiting the convent, and everything is exposed. Also, it turns out that Father Tommasso and the Mother Superior, Sister Marea, who's older in the movie than she is in the original story, have been having an affair themselves.
Although THE LITTLE HOURS definitely is attacking the legalist piety of Medieval Catholicism, it's also saying that religious and biblical morality is not worth pursuing because it's impossible to follow. This is pretty much summed up in Father Tommasso's acknowledgement to Sister Marea at the end that he prefers liberty to a strict monastic life, even though he recognizes that prayer is important and can be beneficial.
Thus, ultimately, THE LITTLE HOURS has a strong Romantic, lawless worldview that strongly attacks and lampoons Christianity. That said, the Bishop does come across as sincere when he admonishes Father Tommasso and the nuns for giving into their lust. He simply can't believe how sinful the Father and the nuns have become. Even so, the ultimate message of THE LITTLE HOURS is to indulge the "pleasures of the flesh." The ending of LITTLE HOURS also relegates faith and morality to a minor role. So, it doesn't really offer any constructive criticism and ends up being rather abhorrent, with gratuitous immorality to prove its point.

Guilt is good
Yesterday I was looking at photos of Tokyo Design Week. The student work contained a lot of recycled stuff; this bench, by a designer from Sushin Womens University, is made from the kind of old computer parts I hoard because I'm too guilty about their impact on the environment to throw them out. As public benches, they redeem themselves, and guilt is salved. A carpet by someone from Tokoku University turned out to be made from recycled plastic bottle tops. Looking at it, I found myself thinking "This work is guilty work, and guilty work is good work!"
Why is this work guilty? To answer that, I should quote my last article for AIGA Voice, "Conceptual Design; building a social conscience": "these designers share a concern with ethics and responsibility; one of the reasons the design they make is so often immaterial is their sense that the last thing the world needs is more objects, more consumer goods." Of course, it's the job of designers to fill the world with objects and consumer goods. So if there really is a new generation of designers trying to avoid this, they're guilty designers.
What is guilt? For a start, it's being unselfish. Don't take your own side—or the side of your own culture—just for the sake of it, just for ego, just because you're you; be guilty, be apologetic! See a bigger picture, take other people's perspectives and needs into consideration! Guilt is an internalisation of ethics, but I'd say it's an intuitive ethics rather than something we've made explicit to ourselves. We might have an aesthetic revulsion against certain things, extravagant and wasteful things, and we might experience that as guilt. And guilt is good.
I've been thinking about music, and thinking about decades. We're now half way through the 00s, so we're in a position to say what the dominant narrative of musical styles for the decade might be. Of course, one decade can contain many styles; we think of the 90s as the decade of grunge, but also trip hop, Britpop, loungecore, Shibuya-kei, and so on. Well, it seems increasingly clear to me that any future account of the pop music of the 00s will have to mention the folktronic meme. I've been playing with it since 2000, and you might think it would be over by now, but no, it continues to appear everywhere. Yesterday I mentioned a new "Freak Folk" singer called Viking Moses. Looking last night for a gig to go to, I saw that the choices were between Matt Elliot ("effortlessly switching from late nineteenth century folk tales to crisp 2003 intricate electronica at the drop of a hat") and a Russian outfit called Volga ("successfully combines experimental electronics, contemporary dance rhythms and original Russian folklore"). Now, it seems to me that pop music which so insistently stresses its folk elements is guilty pop music, pop music which wants to be more organic, more innocent, more wholesome, simple and rooted. Less pop, in fact. Folk poptronica is pop which, partly, hates itself. And that's good.
Guilt is deep in my aesthetic, and that's fine. You know, I'm not going to feel guilty about it. No, wait, I am! My favourite writer ever is Kafka, what more do you need to know? I'm a fashion muslim who wears robes and thinks that the people in the photos in the Times of India are much better dressed than the people in the photos in the Times of London. I'm on other people's side, not my own.
Each week I go to thematische Buchhandlung ProQM to browse all the latest visual culture books and magazines, trying to guage changes, trends, sensibilities. Last time I was there I picked up on two things; first of all, I decided that the Bjorky "tendril style" (Illustrator bezier curves doing something vaguely "folky") is looking tired, but that what's looking fresh, to me, anyway, is the even more folky "European migration geographies" style seen on the cover of Anarchitektur magazine. It's basically the decoration style of poor Polish immigrants, but it has something in common with the sensibility you develop if you thrift for your clothes, or even the unglamorous photographs of Ryan McGinley. It also infused an excellent, harrowing documentary I saw on Arte on Tuesday night, Patric Jean's La Raison Du Plus Fort, a 2002 survey of the French ghettos which exploded into violence earlier this month.
One problem with today's political class is that in abandoning left wing politics it has abandoned guilt. Bush and Blair seem pathologically incapable of remorse or self-doubt. The essence of left wing politics is guilt; Marxism is a middle class movement which tries to think on behalf of the working class. And that's fine. But there's a danger, of course, in aestheticizing poverty and demonizing affluence. The danger is that you forget the important fact that any progressive social movement should ultimately be aiming to make the working class disappear, and make those people who were working class as middle class as we are. The point is not to hate myself and my culture so much that I abandon my own laptop, but to love the poor enough to hope they all get an MIT $100 laptop. Then one day, when there are billions of broken laptops all over Africa, folk can turn them into benches and we can all feel a bit less guilty.

App tracking the Tour de France
Scott Fitzgerald June 30, 2012
Sports Technology0 Comments 0
Like this story? We'd love you to share it via:
The 2012 Tour de France. Twenty stages, 3,497 kilometres. And yes, there's an app for that!
If you've been following me writing about gadgets over the past six years, both on that big gadget site I used to work for, and now on my own site, you'd know that around this time of year I manage to sneak in a few cycling-related stories. Why? Because tonight, pretty much my favourite sporting event of the year* takes place – the Tour de France.
And 2012 is a special year for the Tour, from an Australian standpoint. For one, the reigning champion is an Australian, after Cadel Evans' magnificent victory in the yellow jersey competition last year. Secondly, this year, for the very first time an Australian team is participating, the Orica / GreenEdge team. In the team are five Aussies, led by Stuart O'Grady.
The numbers. The 99th Tour de France starts on June 30, in Liege, Belgium, and finishes on the Champs Elysee in Paris on July 22. That's 20 stages, over 3,497 kilometres. All stages will be televised on SBS, I think starting most nights around 10.00 pm. Check your local guides to be sure.
Tour de France? There's an app for that
Now, to work in some tech. If want to more of a feel for the race, and you have an iPhone or iPad, or an Android smartphone or tablet, SBS have a free app called Tour Tracker. Computer users, don't feel left out, it's there for you at SBS' Cycling Central website. The app, or the Tour Tracker website, will stream the video when available, plus provide the route stats (elevation, distance, etc), the race standings, stage information, rider and team info, a Tour de France dictionary and more. It is great stuff for cycling fans. For the apps, search for 'Tour Tracker' on your app store of choice.
#TDF
If you're on Twitter, hop on, there's always very lively, funny, serious tweet stream that accompanies the Tour. There'll be a few hashtags you can follow – pertaining to the SBS broadcast, so mainly Aussies is #sbstdf, plus you could use #TDF or #TDF12 to go international. Just have a look and pick and use the ones you like, or the ones with the most people. Or, id space allows, use them all. You'll see me there – @ScottFitzG
You don't like sport? But wait, there's more!
As I say every year, if it's not something you normally watch, because you don't like sport, or cycling, or know much about it, I urge you to give it a try. Watching it is the best travelogue you'll ever see for the country of France, along with an education on history, culture, and, with the Gabriel Gaté's entertaining little spots, a schooling on French food and wine.
Who knows, this could be a sport that gets you in for three weeks or so each year. The sites, the sounds, the mountains, the descent, the tactics… it is a magnificent event. It hooked me in the late 80s, and I've been a Tour fan ever since.
So, look for quite a bit of cycling tech stories over the next few weeks, along with our regular spectrum of gadgets. And to mark the occasion, we also have a Tour de France related web background on the site.
In the meantime, here's a two recent stories TechStyles has published with a cycling theme – Glo-Bars LED bicycle lighting system and Revolights – cycling's wheels of light.
*I use the term pretty much there to leave in the opportunity for the Wests Tigers and Sydney Swans to win their respective premierships. As happened in 2005. Yes, I'm holding tight the memories of that particular sporting year.

Benitez hits latest rut as Newcastle fall into drop-zone
by Agencies , (Last Updated December 17, 2017)
The struggles of Rafa Benitez and Newcastle United have continued this season as their winless run extended to nine games on Saturday.
Not since a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on October 21, thanks to a Mikel Merino goal, have they picked up three points.
At that time, the victory propelled them to seventh spot in the Premier League table, just two points off the Champions League places.
However, just one point from the last nine games has resulted in the Magpies plummeting down the standings.
Their defeat at Arsenal on Saturday coupled with West Ham United's impressive victory at Stoke City sees the Magpies sitting in the relegation zone for the first time this season.
Given the situation, the decision has been taken to postpone the club's Christmas party in order to focus on improving performances.
The former Real Madrid boss has used two systems throughout those nine games, a 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 and the latter formation has worked out marginally better.
When Newcastle have set up in that way, they haven't lost by more than two goals aside from their defeat against Chelsea.
Newcastle gamble on Bruce as head coach
Arsenal up to third as Ramsey, Lacazette sink Newcastle
City suffer title blow at Newcastle, Solskjaer's perfect run over


When pH probes are not in use, they need to be stored wet. The probe needs enough solution either in the storage cap or in an alternate storage cup, to ensure full coverage of the probe glass membrane tip and outer junction (or wick).
Always try to store pH probes in Bluelab pH Probe KCl storage solution for best results.
Always keep the probe tip wet and do not allow it to dry out. If the probe does dry out, simply leave it to soak overnight (or for 24 hours) in Bluelab pH probe KCl storage solution to help re-hydrate the probe again. Note that any drying of the probe tip may damage the unit, so avoid this as much as possible.
Always keep the probe tip wet with either Bluelab pH probe KCl storage solution inside your storage cap. If this is unavailable then plain tap water or pH4 solution can be used. Do not use distilled, deionized or reverse osmosis (RO) water as this will damage the pH-sensitive glass membrane of your pH probe and the reference solution of your pH probe, essentially shortening the life of the probe. Remember the probe ideally needs an ion rich solution!

Facebook dramatically closes Seattle office after worker is struck down with coronavirus as 10 die in Washington State – The Sun
FACEBOOK closed its headquarters in Seattle last night after a worker tested positive for coronavirus.
It came a day after an Amazon worker was struck down in the same city — the site of America's worst Covid-19 cluster with ten deaths so far.
Facebook said two of its office buildings in Seattle would be closed until at least March 9.
Staff will be asked to work from home until the end of the month.
It is a precautionary measure after a contractor who was last in the Stadium East office on February 21 tested positive for coronavirus, the tech giant said.
A spokesman added: "We've notified our employees and are following the advice of public health officials to prioritize everyone's health and safety."
On Tuesday Amazon warned staff of its first confirmed Covid-19 case among its US workforce.
An employee at the company's South Lake Union headquarters went sick on February 25 and is now in quarantine.
The greater Seattle area has America's greatest concentration of coronavirus cases — at least 39 so far with ten deaths.
Most of the deaths are linked to the Life Care Center nursing home in the Kirkland suburb.
Researchers say the virus may have been spreading undetected for weeks.
Vice-President Mike Pence was due to meet Washington Governor Jay Inslee today as federal authorities launched an investigation into the outbreak.
Officials in King County — which includes Seattle and has a population of 2.2million — urged residents to stay at home.
Nationally the death toll rose to 11 after an elderly patient died near Sacramento, California, after returning from a cruise to Mexico.
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a statewide emergency last night as coronavirus cases hit 45.
And the Golden Princess ship was held off the coast near San Francisco while as many as 21 passengers and crew were tested.
In New York more than 1,000 people were told to self-isolate after contact with a lawyer and his family.
The attorney, 50, infected his wife and two kids and a neighbor who drove him to hospital.
A family of five were also diagnosed — doubling the number of cases in the state to 11 — and there were fears hundreds more people may have been exposed.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said containing the outbreak is impossible, adding: "You're literally trying to contain air."
As the number of coronavirus cases grew across the US, the FDA said as many as one million tests could be done by the end of the week.

On a lovely sunny September day in 2013, Getabout member, Nathan, had a huge dream fulfilled. After five months of negotiations and organisation he along with Getabout staff, went to collect his brand new SLR CAMERA!
Nathan discovered photography through his support worker. He wishes to use photography to communicate and express his artistic ideas but up to now has relied on others to take the photos for him. Nathan required a camera that could be fitted to his wheelchair and also can be connected to his ipad, which he uses to communicate, so he can take his own photographs.
This was made possible after Getabout staff negotiated with Dreamfit who provided a grant through the National Disability Services. Camera House allowed Nathan to test the camera and find the model that, when mounted on his chair, he can point, focus and shoot the photos himself.
Thanks to the generosity of Dreamfit, Camera House and the dedication of Getabout staff, Nathan can pursue photography to his full potential.


WordPress and Google Analytics is just like Batman and Robin. Some things can stand strong on their own, but when combined they create a sum far greater than their parts.
WordPress offers a solid variety of customization options for your website, but none of its tools will serve much purpose unless you know what's working on your WordPress site and what areas you can improve.
What's so special about Google Analytics?
Google Analytics represents the most widely used web analytics tool in existence (literally millions of websites use it), and for a good reason. It's powerful, and it's 100% free.
This reporting tool runs in the background of your website to capture site traffic, user behaviors, conversions, and other data in a dashboard-like interface.
along with a slew of other data you can use in tweaking your site for better performance.
In addition, you can easily integrate Google Analytics with your Google AdWords campaign and gauge how your PPC campaigns are doing in order to improve your ads.
It's an enterprise-level tool that packs a lot of tracking and reporting power.
It's fueled by the data giant Google, which means it can sift through data at lightning speed.
It helps website owners realize the importance of data and how it can be used to make site improvements.
You can customize your dashboards to view information that's most important to you.
You can see real-time stats the moment you log in.
The standard version, which is pretty epic, is free. No trials, no credit card needed.
Marketers realize the impact of data on campaigns, websites, and other customer facings in growing their bottom lines.
The days of guessing and "gut instincts" when it comes to understanding the customer experience are numbered.
Now, with a glance at an analytics dashboard, you can see where customers are intrigued and where they potentially lose interest.
You'll know how many people see your website and where they are located geographically.
You can determine who is using a desktop and who is on mobile. All these bits and bytes of data can then steer crucial marketing and other business decisions that can catapult your company in a new direction.
And since data is so readily accessible and, in this case, free to collect and view, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be using data to grow your business.
Though it may sound complicated, rest assured there's not much work involved on your end to take advantage of Google Analytics.
From there, Google will give you a unique piece of tracking code you will need to place on your site. Voila! The tool will immediately start collecting and sorting data for you to view.
Once you do this, that tracking code will record site visitors' actions and transform them into data.
Page Views – This is a number of unique web pages a single viewer visits during a session.
Goals – This tells you how many people completed a particular action that you wanted them to, such as filling out a contact form or signing up for a newsletter.
Bounce Rate – Just like a tennis ball bounces off the wall; this number tells you how many people visited your site and left without visiting another web page.
Session Data – A session begins when a user lands on your site and ends when they leave your site. The number of sessions is equal to the number of individual site visitors you receive. Other session data include how long a person browsed your site and the number of pages they looked at during a session.
Traffic Source – If you've ever wanted to know how people are finding your website, wonder no longer. This stat tells you how many visitors are coming from AdWords, a Google search, social media, other websites, etc.
Other than the initial installation and checking your dashboards, there's no other work required on your part. Easy peasy.
Ready to get started? Read on for step-by-step instructions on how to begin using Google Analytics on WordPress.
The biggest downfall of Google Analytics is that it doesn't come pre-installed on your WordPress site.
Rather, you have to take the initiative to activate it yourself. But worry not, it's much easier than you might be thinking.
And best of all, you don't need to hire an expensive developer to get Google Analytics to start analyzing.
First, you'll need to install Google Analytics on your WordPress website (more on that in just a moment).
To do this, you will need to sign up for a Google Analytics account (go here) before you can generate your tracking code.
But to get a Google Analytics account, you will need a Google account (sign up here). This account is also free and only takes a few minutes to register for one.
Once you've established your Google account, use it to sign up for a Google Analytics account.
During the signup process, Google will ask you if the account is for a website or mobile app.
(Pro Tip: one Google Analytics account can power multiple websites, which is why you need to be specific when naming each account).
From here, you can click the Get Tracking ID button to generate your unique code. Highlight the code and click CTRL+C or right-click in the text and select Copy.
Here we've given you three options to add the tool to your WordPress installation. It's up to you from here.
Perhaps the most direct way is to add the tracking code to WordPress yourself.
Disclaimer: the slightest bit of coding knowledge is helpful in this case, but the steps below give a good outline that even savvy non-coders can successfully do it.
Once you copy your code from your Google Analytics account, log in to WordPress, find Appearances in the menu, then choose Editor.
Scroll through the code to find the </head> tag. (Pro Tip: If you can't find it in the coding jungle, the classic keyboard shortcut CTRL+F can find it for you).
You will need to paste your code immediately before this tag, then click Update File.
An alternative to this manual method is adding the code via the "functions.php" file. This method adds the code to each page on your WordPress site.
From there, you will paste your code just prior to the closing </head> tag.
At this point, your Google Analytics code should be alive and well in your WordPress site. But don't assume so.
Go back to your Google Analytics account and refresh the page to make sure you are collecting data.
If not, you can click "Send test traffic" to test your account. It could take up to 24-48 hours before you start seeing data, so be patient.
One caveat to mention with this method: if you decide to update or switch your theme at any point, you will need to reinstall your tracking code.
It doesn't get much easier than installing the free Insert Headers and Footers Plugin for WordPress.
This sleek interface lets you paste code without having to search through other code to find where to paste it.
Once you download and activate the plugin, login to WordPress and go to Settings, then click Insert Headers and Footers.
Paste your unique Google Analytics tracking code into the Headers box.
Make sure you save your changes before you exit, then test your Google Analytics account to ensure it's collecting data.
As with the above method, it may take 24-48 hours to work, so give it some time.
One item worth mentioning: this plugin will not give you Google Analytics information in your dashboard. You can only view your metrics from your Google account.
Finally, our last method is one adopted by millions and has become the most popular option for connecting Google Analytics with WordPress.
MonsterInsights has created two plugins for WordPress – one free and one paid.
The free version is fairly robust, but you can pay a little more for advanced tracking and other features. Either way, you will set them up in the same way.
First, you'll need to install and activate the MonsterInsights plugin (do it here).
This adds a new label to your admin menu. Go to Insights, then click Settings to set up the plugin.
While signed into Google, click the Authenticate with your Google account button.
Click Next in the pop-up window, then click the "Click to get Google Code" button on the next screen.
Another popup will ask you if MonsterInsights can access your Google Analytics data. Click Allow.
Highlight the entire code that appears on the next screen and select CTRL+C, or right-click and choose Copy.
Paste this code into the MonsterInsights popup window where you clicked the "Click to get Google Code" button previously.
From here, you'll choose the profile you want the plugin to track. This is where choosing a specific name for each account comes in handy.
On the Settings page, tick the box that says "Manually enter your UA code." A blank box will appear.
Click the Admin menu option in your Google Analytics account, then choose Property Settings in the Properties section.
Highlight the code and copy your entire tracking ID by pressing CTRL+C or choosing right-click then Copy.
You will paste this code into the "Manually enter your UA code" blank box in WordPress.
You're done. Within a day or two, you should start seeing data trickle into your account.
Pro Tip: The MonsterInsights plugin does allow you to view your data directly from your WordPress dashboard.
This plugin serves up a few more steps than the Insert Headers and Footers plugin, but the convenience of having your data in one central hub makes the extra effort well worth it.
To view your data on WordPress, go to Insights on your admin menu, then click Reports to catch a glimpse of what's happening. You can also go to the Tracking tab to tailor the info you see.
There's a reason (actually several) why millions of website owners choose to pair Google Analytics with WordPress.
It's simple to set up and use, it's efficient, and most importantly, it gives stakeholders an inside look at how visitors engage with the site.
And though Google Analytics may be a free tool, you get substantially more than what you pay for. Try it for yourself, and you'll probably agree.


My 7 week old gets extremely hot when in his car seat, when he is held, or in any position for too long. This results in his back becoming very sweaty and his skin appears red. We keep our house at 78 degrees, so I am not sure what is causing this. He gets very upset and becomes inconsolable until we are able to cool him down. Rectal thermometer shows a temperature of 99.9.
Do you have any advice as to what is causing this, what can be done to prevent overheating or what can be done to soothe him?
Babies tend to run higher temperatures than adults. Your son's temperature is normal. Normal temperature for an under 3 month old are from 97.0 to 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit.
An individuals skin turns red and begins sweating to dissipate heat. While 78 degrees would be comfortable for most people it is too warm for your son. Environmental temperature is a personal preference just like his favorite pacifier. If he is sweating and fussy than he is too warm. How is he dressed? Is he in the sun?
Make sure the material he is laying on is breathable. If he gets fussy, pick him up and move him to allow for more air flow. If he remains sweating and fussy, continue to cool him.
Rarely, sweating can be a sign of more serious illness. Excess sweating especially with feeding can be a sign of a heart defect. How is your son growing? If he is growing well, I doubt the sweating is related to a heart issue. It is probably worth discussing with his pediatrician at his next check up.

City of Bad Men is a 1953 American Western film starring Jeanne Crain, Dale Robertson and Richard Boone.
A heavyweight championship fight between James J. Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons is coming to Carson City, Nevada at exactly the same time outlaw Brett Stanton and brother Gar return to town.
Away for six years, Brett has alienated his former love, Linda Culligan, who is now involved with Jim London, the fight's promoter. London's sister, Cynthia Castle, tries to attract Brett's interest, but he's only got eyes for Linda.
Because the bout could sell as much as $100,000 in tickets, law-breakers like Johnny Ringo are also milling around, keeping Sheriff Bill Gifford on his toes. He ends up asking Brett to be a deputy, just for the week of the fight, not knowing Brett's actually scheming to rob the proceeds himself.
A fight-day decision by Linda to end her engagement to Jim changes the plans of Brett, who decides to go straight. Alas, his brother Gar betrays him to Ringo, who goes through with the daring robbery. Brett has to exchange gunfire with both Ringo and Gar, and when he's successful, Linda returns to his arms.
City of Bad Men was released in 2014 as a "publish on demand" DVD in the United States.
In episode five of the first season of the USA network series Graceland, the main character Mike (who is an undercover FBI agent) has a conversation with one of this targets, the ruthless Nigerian crime lord "Bello" (played by actor Gbenga Akinnagbe), where at one point the film is mentioned after Mike quotes a line from the film. Bello admits he's impressed with this knowledge of the film and admits he's a fan. Bello even shows Mike a copy of the film on DVD in a video store later on in the episode.

ABC Values (Vinyl Only) - This is the complete alphabet with a saying attached to each letter of the alphabet. This comes in 1 size- 12 inch Tile (abt 10x10 inches).
Sample is shown on a slightly bumpy tan tile in Black Vinyl. This would work best if on something smooth (like a smooth tile) but with some effort, can be put on a bumpy tile successfully.


The rainstorms last night dumped a lot of water on us. We're not exactly sure of the amount because our rain gauge was knocked over. My best guess is over 2 inches but way less than the over 6 inches falling at O'hare. Most of the water drained off as of 7:30am. The course has remained open so far and many groups have played. More rain appears to be on the way, so please check with the clubhouse to be sure of the course's status (Phone #: 630-834-3325).
Last week was very hot and humid, but the course made it through in good shape. You will hear many superintendents say that they prefer to have it not rain when it is hot. Too much water combined with heat leads to more severe problems than drought stress (see posts from 2010!). Last week was a good example of why rain is not always welcome for a golf course. Through moderate irrigation and spot watering by hand with hoses we were able to get through the week without major problems. This amount of rain a couple days ago would have lead to severe scald, wet wilt, and probably diseases. Hopefully it will stay cloudy today and not get too hot until it dries up a little. It looks like we have a little cool down coming Sunday night through Tuesday which will be a welcome relief for both people and plants.


A step by step manual that explains the process of revoking Google manual and algorithmic penalty.
Year 2013 was a year of Google manual and algorithmic penalties. Many websites that did well in the SERPs lost their ranking overnight and hit the absolute bottom. For websites those had their majority traffic from Google suffered unimaginable revenue loss. Aggressive link building, link buying and swapping and cheap tactics used in building links by few so-called SEO agencies has led to many sites disappearing from search results altogether.
Many webmasters sadly saw their sites sinking and sinking deep down into the darkness of SERPs and had no idea whatsoever to get their rank back. Whether it may be algorithmic penalty or a more serious manual action, it needs a well organized and sequential step by step action to revoke penalties and to gain the lost rank. With the experience of revoking manual and algorithmic penalties to hundreds of sites, we have prepared this e-book which sheds light on the types of penalties and their action and outlines a step by step procedure to revoke these penalties.
This e-book sells for $14 in Amazon and it's free here in our website.
You can also send this e-book to your friends. They'll definitely find it useful.

Its picture-postcard squares, medieval streets and religious buildings draw thousands of tourists. Not only is the architectural sights that attract them (which accounts for Cefalù's irresistible sights), but the town also affords a precious sandy beach which stretches along the whole town and its nearness to Palermo, 1 hour- train or bus journey.
Cefalù was where Cinema Paradiso, the Italian classic, was shot. In the film the kaleidoscopic atmosphere of the city is portrayed. Cefalù mixes Moorish streets and exciting life which make a wide appeal.
BY BUS: servicing Palermo ( length: 1 hour, services: 2 a day), servicing Termini Imerese (length: ½ hour, services: 3 a day).
BY TRAIN: from/to Palermo (length: 1 hour, services: every half an hour). Cefalù is linked by the train to almost all the towns on the coast.
SOME PIECES OF ADVICE: Taxi rates should be fixed once you get into the vehicle. A 5 km journey is about € 5.
Parking is not an easy business in Cefalù. On the roads parallel to the beach in the southwest part of Cefalù is where you may find somewhere to park.
Scooters and mountain bikes are other ways of immersing yourself in this full-of-character town.


For the 2014-2020 period, €1.5 billion of European funds have been allocated to the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region to finance European projects. The ERDF was allocated €334 million, the ESF €70.6 million, the EAFRD €996.6 million, the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) €6 million and finally €66 million for INTERREG.
According to the Vice-President of the Regional Council in charge of European relations, 60% of the budget has already been allocated. Although some projects are currently under examination for the remaining 40%, it is still possible to submit new project proposals. Funds must be allocated by 2020 and projects completed by 2023.
In case of unused amounts of budget, it is possible to negotiate with the European Commission for redefinition.

Beatenburg
Beatenberg is a fresh new face in pop music from South Africa. Or rather, three faces, handsome and young and intelligent. The faces are of Matthew Field, who also has a beautiful voice and plays the guitar, Ross Dorkin, who has beautiful hands that play the bass, and Robin Brink, who has a beautiful life-force and plays the drums like a nutcase.
Despite being in love with and schooled in 'serious music' like Beethoven, Debussy and John Coltrane, (Ross and Matthew studied music together at the University of Cape Town) Beatenberg is adamant that they are heard as 'pop music', which they believe is actually quite serious too.
Songwriter Matthew says: 'It's about emotions, images and fleeting senses of things: the mad stuff that everyone feels and almost understands.'

Desmond & The Tutus
Desmond & The Tutus have been scare-crowing across the world's stages with their unique, some might call it niche, brand of kwela-indie-punk for just on ten years. But to call it niche would be entirely missing the point, the Tutus are more shape-shifters than niche, their sound slotting comfortably between Thandiswe Mazwai and Hugh Masekela, as it did at the Soweto Heritage Fest in 2013, or between surf rocker's Beach Party and synth mavens Gateway Drugs during the Puma Happy Holiday in summer 13/14.
The Tutus' have also toured extensively internationally, opening on their 2009 UK tour for The Vivian Girls, The Soft Pack and Women. They played at one of the last, and legendary Optimo parties at The Sub Club in Glasgow and somehow managed to sell out their first European headliner at Vanner och Bekanta in Stockholm. They've also played among Johnny Clegg, The Mahotella Queens, and Blk Jks at the South African themed Rio Loco in Toulouse, France in 2010. As an intern trying to put together a blurb on deadline you could probably just say something like "Desmond & The Tutus have sold out shows all over the globe, including Japan, France, Sweden and the UK", I mean if you don't want to go into the whole how-do-I-trim-that-mass-of-info-down panic.
Closer to home, or rather right at home, the Desmonds have played for deaf people at Joburg's Bassline, where there was a vibrating dance floor and interpretive dancer and, according to Craig, "a deaf person who stole my bag that night." Let's not get into that. Early in 2014 they performed at Kirstenbosch to a bunch of young people who were about 5 years old when the band was formed. That's scary. Desmond & The Tutus are kak old. They remind a lot of people about that one time in first year. But that didn't stop Shane from leaping off the stage a couple of years ago at the I Love Soweto Party at Orlando Bowls Club and participating in some kind of weird dance off. That's just how they roll.
Forming in 2005, it took until 2008 for Shane, Nick, Craig and Doug to get their act together and release their debut album Tuckshop, which was loved for it's home record vibe more than it was a commercial success. Around this time they also had two releases on Japanese labels, Flake Records and Every Conversation.
Shortly after this they released an EP entitled & The. In 2008 Parisian label, Tigersushi released a 12" of Kiss You On the Cheek.
In 2012 the band worked with Los Angeles based producer, Eric Broucek, and their 2nd full length album entitled MNUSIC was released in July of 2012. The first three singles from the album all charted on the 5FM Top 40. Most notably, the 2nd single Zim Zala Bim reached No. 1 on the 5FM Top 40.
"The biggest challenge for South African radio right now is further bridging the gap between white and black music. Traditionally there has been polarisation in music through our society's past. 5FM is crossing that bridge and it is I believe the only national youth station in the country which has the power and opportunity to affect change at grassroots levels. 5FM can do what a lot of politicians wish they could do – getting all sorts of different people to talk to each other."
Thato Sikwane, aka DJ Fresh, started out in radio in Botswana in the early nineties and from the minute he was shown the mic he knew that broadcasting was the only career for him. Fresh subsequently dropped his law studies and pursued radio fulltime, joining YFM in 1997. Fresh was heading up the YFM breakfast team by 2003 and was quickly snapped up by 5FM in 2006 where the Fresh Drive has since become a 5FM institution as well as one of the station's most popular shows.
Fresh is set to release his twenty fourth house album in 2010 – a Soul Candi production called Evolution part two. His first four house albums – the "Fresh House Flava" range are said to have altered the house landscape in South Africa for good, bringing the genre into the mainstream music scene.
Fresh has shared the DJ booth with a number of internationals during his career to date, including "Little Louie" Vega, Frankie Knuckles, Armand Van Helden, Chris Lake, Paul Van Dyke, Oskido, Fat Boy Slim, Hoxton Whores, Jazzy Jeff, Harley & Muscle, Ready D, Kenny Gope Gonzales, Viny Da Vinci, Deep, Gregory and Dominic Spreadlove. Cities like Johannesburg, Miami, London, Cape Town, Moscow, Brisbane, Ibiza, Leeds, Durban, Gaborone, Birmingham, Dubai, Montreal and Melbourne have all danced to Fresh's beats.
An entrepreneur at heart, Fresh is gifted at spotting gaps in the market and he has many projects on the go at any one time. A few examples are Fresh's cool T-shirt range and merchandise which started out as a fun side project and is now hugely in demand; his company Big Dawg Productions; his partnership with DJ Euphonik called "F.Eu" as well as his ongoing involvement in numerous charities and awareness campaigns.
DJ Fresh is part of "DJU", a team of leading South African deejays, musicians, producers and media personalities. Inspired by international conferences such as The Miami Winter Music Conference, DJU established the Southern African Music Conference in 2005. The conference is more than a talk shop for deejays & producers; it is a critical platform for Southern African dance music industry practitioners to keep pace with, and eventually lead global developments.
Despite his enormous success, Fresh remains humble about his achievements and still has many goals to pursue: "I feel I still have a way to go – if I could use the analogy of a truck with ten gears I'd only be in sixth gear now. I'm still building the foundations of my career – so much can still be done. That's why I accepted a job at 5FM over Metro – I knew it would be a challenge and I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I like to push myself, the boundaries, and peoples perceptions of the boundaries. I also hate loose ends which mean I probably will finish my Law degree one day."
Fresh describes the 5FM team as "The most dynamic team I have ever worked with – they are a bunch of highly motivated people and it rubs off. 5FM has extremely high standards and benchmarks which inspire me to be even more inspired, if you understand what I mean."
In his spare time Fresh loves to relax with his wife and son at home. He is a movie buff and has a massive DVD collection – some of his favourite personal indulgences also include watches, fragrance and shades. Fresh has over one hundred and twenty fragrances in his personal collection, as well as forty watches and twenty pairs of sunglasses.
Nothing is stopping DJ Fresh as his career continues to grow at an exponential rate. Tune into the hottest daily drive show in South Africa on 5FM, as Fresh and his dynamic Fresh Drive team continue to entertain, break down boundaries and bring South Africans together.
Euphonik
Euphonik is one of South Africa's most successful young dance DJ's with a reputation for being able to please a diverse crowd both in the clubs and on the radio.
Felix Laband
"Laband is now 31 . Maritzburg-born, Durban-bread and Cape Town-based. He thankfully took up computer music instead of surfing, and was in various guitar-based bands (including Fingerhead and incurable) before having a solo piece included on the Koert Kotze en die Vrouekolonie CD. Laband´s fiendish and phat foray into introspective electronics was highly promising and the highlight of a critically acclaimed project. He also had two notable inclusions on the excellent Sound of the Durban Underground collection. He already produced two fantastic albums, but this time he's going real deep and shows us his "Dark Days Exit".
As Felix told U.K. magazine "Dazed & Confused", "That South Africa is a land of weird contrasts which definitely comes through in my music. I'm not afraid to throw things around. A lot of European stuff is quite formulistic, people stick to a certain sound and a specific way of doing things. I try to throw that out of the window."
Words: Greg Bowes
Kyle Cassim
At the tender age of 13, Kyle after years of listening to his fathers collection of Disco Music, asked his father to pleasebuy him a mobile DJ system so that he could start playing at the local school disco's.

Kyle Watson
Musically trained from a young age, Kyle's foundation has helped him forge a path through the Garage Band generation. Not afraid to step out of his comfort zone, his appreciation for each and every genre of music has given Kyle his unique and eclectic sound – a sound that one would be hard pressed to find anywhere else – and it is because of this that he has secured himself a spot as one of South Africa's most successful internationally acclaimed dance music producers.
Some of the best and most successful dance producers in the world – top charters like Pleasurekraft, Trickski, Audiojack, Shiba San, Dale Howard, and more – have been supporting Kyle's music. It is because of this avid support that his music has been released on high profile record labels such as Get Physical, Gruuv and Ultra.
Kyle is a regular guest at Truth, one of the longest running and most respected clubs in the country, and has appeared at Ministry of Sound in London, Mission in Leeds, and more across the UK in cities such as Birmingham, Bristol and Halifax.
His sets are smooth and well balanced, and have evolved into a style of forward thinking house music that borrows from techno, deep house, garage, jacking and tech house.
Matthew Mole
I'm not the best at speaking, but through music it's natural. It takes up a lot of my time, it drives me, it makes me who I am.
I try to live my life a little differently to the way most people think it should be done. For me, music is very closely linked to that. I like to try and bring my hopes and beliefs through that. What I aim to achieve is for people be affected by my music - in a great way, a way that will make them think about where they're at. Something that everyone can relate to.
If you had to force something out of me, I'd tell you that I play Folk music. Folk music with an Electronic back bone. I have so many influences, ranging from the people everyone's heard of, like Mumford & Sons, to people like Gold Panda.
I hope that this musical adventure, way of life if you will, I'm taking will help you to enjoy whatever adventure you are taking.
Welcome to Pop Art.
This is not about the scene. It's about a creative journey, an experience of live entertainment. Crossing the boundaries of electronica to bring an interactive show that's coupled with a whirlwind of original music.
Two unique minds unite with influences ranging from indie disco, house, techno and 80s grooves. The combination sees the production and technical skills of Ricky meeting the ecstatic musicality and vocal prowess of Martin, an arrangement that induces a dreamlike state in audiences. Creatively it's perfectly in sync allowing them to make their way to Sankeys Nightclub UK as well as open for Miguel Campbell, Berlin beat smiths Dr. Dru and Andre Crom. Locally the duo has played alongside Niskerone and Ryan Murgatroyd at establishments that have also held host to bands such as Desmond and The Tutus. Punters across the country can usually catch these two at events such as Park Acoustics, It's Personal Picnic, Suburban State, ERA Nightclub (CPT), Truth Nightclub, Hot On Top and have recently played their first Oppikoppi (2015) festival and set to play Rocking the daises that same year.
Pop Art's first release, "Lights Out", which included remixes from Inxec (Crosstown Rebels/Get Physical) and a backseat remix from Cape town local Dix (Nomadiq Music) saw the duo showcasing their connection with the underground techno and house scene. They then went on to sign with Outcross Records (UK), Miguel Campbell's imprint. This allowed the two to explore a sound that expresses their love for nu-disco and the French touch. Next was a signing to Jo'burg based Just Move Records where they developed a more mature deep sound. Their latest release "So Alive" sees them teamed up with local House legend Kyle Watson on Sharam Jey's Berlin based label Bunny Tiger. Besides racking up 50thousand plays on Soundcloud, Sharam has called Pop Art's remix of "So Alive" his track of Summer 2015. With these releases Pop Art have shown their versatility and vast electronic music knowledge that has them looking into the future and take influence from artists such as Jamie xx, Flume, Chet Faker and the Black Butter Crew out of London.
This is only a stepping-stone to the heights set in sight for these two. Consistently delivering a world-class performance that's seen them hailed as one of the best live acts in South Africa by both Nomadiq Music and Mixed Apples Blog. Pulse radio identifies the duo as "steadily rising up the ranks with the their unique brand of vocally driven dance music", a statement that rings true after watching the two do what they do best.
'Too commercial to be underground to underground to be commercial...'

Vimo
Vimesh Bhana aka DJ Vimo
Originally hailing from the Friendly City of Port Elizabeth South Africa, it's been virtually two decades of immense success as prolific and respected DJ Vimo (best known for his eclectic sets) continues to blow up dance floors all across the country.
Whilst travelling abroad as early as 1995, Vimo developed his encyclopaedic knowledge of electronic music by befriending the store owner of 'Vinyl Junkies' local record store in Soho London. Too impatient to learn through trial-and-error and observation, he was taken under the wing of the established veteran DJ John Paul. In under a year, Vimo got his first break and began playing at a number of trendy bars and lounges in and around London.
His return to South Africa in 1998 manifested into a two year stint playing in commercial venues which laid the basis to triumph over Port Elizabeth's renowned and lucrative underground scene. In his hometown he continued to invade Castro's, The Lennox, XXXtreme and 52 Parliament to mention a few. Heavily influenced by international sensation Armin Van Helden and local PE demigod Munro, Vimo has cultivated and skilled rhythms all distilled down to a pure distinctive sound that never fails to rip dance floors apart.
He was the first ever DJ from PE who, in association with USM Records and The Deeper Sound Series released "Deeper Sound of Vimo." His second release "Vimo Presents East Coast Flavour" was a successful solo project whereby he collaborated with the likes of top local DJ's Craig de Sousa and Roger De Lux and was also praised by the masses resulting in his third album from the Natural Groove Series "Natural Groove III by Vimo" again proving to be in the frontline of the music scene with his cutting edge and self proclaimed "Chutney House" sound.
Vimo has held residencies in the most popular and commendable nightclubs and headlined the biggest parties in Port Elizabeth. Not content, he progressed to invade dance floors around South Africa such as SPLASH, H20, NATURAL GROOVE, SWEET SESSIONS, NEXUS, ESP, TILT, TRUTH, SUTRA, THE FEZ, DOCKSIDE, POP ART, TOKYO SKY, JET, SUSHI SUNDAY, VINTAGE VINYL, OOLONG LOUNGE, CARFAX, THE WOODS, SUGAR, BANG BANG CLUB, JUICE, VOODOO LOUNGE, GROOVEBAR, STONES, NEWSCAFE, PANAMA ROOM and ARUBA LOUNGE.
He has performed in support of international DJ's such as Carl Cox, Tiesto, Tom Novy, Sister Bliss as well as top local DJ's.

but it's not working, can anyone tell me what wrong with my code, thank you.

A: The thing is you cant have onPress function on  components, its solely for just showing. To use onPress you have to use TouchableOpacity.
Check the code below :
 <View>
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {this.toggleModal(true) }}  onBackdropPress={ () =>
   {this.hideModal(false)}}>

        <View>

I recently traveled to Europe with hubby. We did a river cruise along the Rhine. I was surprised at how low stress our trip was in spite of us being in foreign countries. Perhaps it was because we had a planned itinerary for each day. We were chauffeured by a coach bus to and from our daily destinations and we navigated each city with a tour guide. So, there was little effort on our part to figure out the logistics of our day. For some, that might sound boring and too structured, but so often our lives are hectic and busy that what seems to be missing is some order. Of course we still had to make decisions(initial trip planning aside). There were several tour options at each port and we had to decide which one to do. We normally had some free time in each city we visited to go off on our own for a couple of hours, and we chose where to dine.
I got a glimpse of how nice and relaxed life can be when you have order. I used to go through life thinking spontaneity was the preferred way to live because each moment was a surprise and you just went with the flow, but there is something to be said for planning ahead. You can still have spontaneity within your organized life. There will always be moments where you have to make decisions on the fly, but if you are living in a constant state of spontaneity, life can feel chaotic and decision making can become overwhelming.
Perhaps what I'm saying is it's good to have some structure in life that will still allow for spontaneity. I guess that is what we call "balance".
Would love to know your thoughts on spontaneity versus order.

"Such ugliness and mean- spiritedness can't be good for them." Shapiro said she feels the many based-on-fact films that have been produced lately are nothing more than sto ries taken from the supermarket tabloids. "They won't hold up in syndication, either," Shapiro said. "By that time, they're last year's news, and there'll be something more tabloid to take their place. Those movies do not have the lasting values and the concepts. They're the quick fix for the networks to counter cable and the other competition. We need to be making better movies." Shapiro said there are many quality stories that can be developed into projects. "There are so many voices out there that need to be heard," she said.

Joel Jerome At Origami Vinyl, Saturday January 17th 2015
Alyson Camus|January 19, 2015
Joel Jerome
Joel Jerome and his band
'I record all the time. old stuff, new stuff, covers, and everything else. i record with friends but mostly by myself. recording music is my thing,' wrote Joel Jerome on his band camp page, whereas I read a LA Weekly article about him a few months ago, proclaiming him the behind-the-scenes indie king! It is the really the case, many local bands, such as Cherry Glazerr, La Sera, Globelamp, Tashaki Miyaki, and Sarah Negahdari from Happy Hollows, have recorded with him, as he basically produces young artists associated with the Manimal, Burger and Lolippop labels, but since he is a humble guy, he prefers to say he records bands because he is 'just there to guide them and help them make it happen, help them get the best they can out of themselves'.
I knew him as the mastermind behind dios (malos) a band which was around a decade or so ago, then I saw him with his Babies on Acid, but I kept missing him as just Joel Jerome, his new and simpler moniker. He was on the bill of a few shows I went to, but his set was so late I unfortunatelydidn't stayed, then he played at Amoeba and I missed him again for some reason. But I knew about his talent for sweet harmonies and Beatles-que melodies, so I drove to Origami Vinyl on Saturday night where he had an in-store.
I arrived when he and his band were doing a long soundcheck, with lots of vintage organs and guitars, and I watched head way up, as the setting at Origami is always a bit strange, musicians play in the mezzanine and people break their necks to watch them. As soon as they started, the store filled with lush Brian-Wilson-inspired psychedelic soundscapes, injected with a few Harrison-like warm layered guitar riffs, and even a Doors-Manzarek organ solo on a song or two. I know, it's a lot of big names, but this is the thing with Joel, you hear these influences but his music sounds new nevertheless.
He released 'Psychedelic Thriftstore Folk' last September on Manimal and this may just be the beginning of a very prolific year, as he picked the 12 songs among a stock of 240 or so recorded songs! His musical excursion in 60's-70's tainted nostalgia and dream-pop psychedelia soaked in reverb, reminded me sometimes a bit about Chris Owens' work with Girls, as he is someone who was able to digest so much great music of the past only to regurgitate it as his own retro and trippy soundscape. I had a big smile when he played his psych 60's hymn-like 'Everybody Wants Somebody', just before he explained there was even a big sax solo on the record. Like several other songs he played, the harmonies, the melody felt both familiar and astonishingly fresh, distilling a warm and familiar nostalgia of musical genres.
He said in an interview he will be re-recording a lot of dios stuff because he 'was never really happy with any of it'. The songs will be released in a series of EPs titled 'dios on dios', and should I also say he recorded 'When Beck Was Cool' a few years back, a series of great covers of old Beck songs. Joel Jerome never stops recording and he writes sweet, odd and sensible songs, wearing their influences on their sleeves but so sincere and revealing such a big heart that they will put a large smile on your face.
