Sympathy for Life

Sympathy for Life is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Parquet Courts. The album was released on October 22, 2021, on Rough Trade Records. Produced by Rodaidh McDonald and John Parish, the album was preceded by the singles, "Plant Life", "Walking at a Downtown Pace", "Black Widow Spider" and "Homo Sapien".

The vast majority of the album was written and recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, with the band working on long, improvised compositions before arranging them into songs influenced by clubbing and nightlife.

Background

With the release of their sixth studio album, Wide Awake!, in May 2018, the band embarked on an extensive tour which lasted until November 2019. During this time, co-lead vocalists and guitarists Austin Brown and Andrew Savage became more interested in dance and techno music, becoming tired of the expectations of rock bands. Austin Brown noted: "I didn’t really feel like making another rock record. This whole scene of these massive indie rock festivals, seeing the way musicians are treated like faux celebrities, and the way minor indie musicians get worshiped in this unidirectional way — there’s the group on stage, everyone’s looking at them, and thinking they’re the most important people just because they happen to be the loudest. I got really into dance music and realized in those environments, the music is the thing that connects everybody."

Brown started attending nights out at the famed dance party venue The Loft in New York City, describing his experiences as "subversive, anti-establishment, progressive, and also the most enriching American psychedelic experience that has been created. This was something I really wanted to carry into the process of creating our new record."acid while attending the gym: "It all started one day when I went to the gym on acid. I just felt like, 'I'm a fucking machine here, I'm killing it'. Something about the psychedelic experience gives you this mind over matter thing. I not only have my wonderful physique to be thankful for, but it also started this songwriting process for me. I guess it could be considered a performance-enhancing drug to some degree."

Recording


Sympathy for Life

Recording

To record the album, the band recorded in the Catskill Mountains, in upstate New York, where they had previously worked on Sunbathing Animal (2014) and Human Performance (2016): "It’s an area of sacredness. A magic and fertile place with clean air, mountain water, and a lot of protected land."Rodaidh McDonald and John Parish.

During the recording process, the band actively sought to evolve their sound, with co-lead vocalist and guitarist Austin Brown noting: "Being a band for so long, there's lots of bands that can write a Parquet Courts song, and I’ve heard some that were not written by us. That stresses to me how important it is to evolve and move past what might be popularly considered a Parquet Courts sound."Primal Scream album, Screamadelica (1991), which fused indie rock with house music,Can, Canned Heat and This Heat.

Producer Rodaidh McDonald would record the entirety of the band's long jam sessions, which he would then hone into shorter songs. Andrew Savage recalled, "Roddy’s definitely down to burn the midnight oil. I’d go take a nap, and a few hours later I’d come back, and the same song would still be being laboured over. There was an intensity there - that kind of fourth wind you can only get out of extreme energy loss."John Parish on two of the album's tracks, Savage noted: "The reason I wanted to work with him was because he has this remarkable talent of sending a mic directly into a tape machine with no interference of components and making it sound amazing.

Recording of the album had wrapped by March 2020, with the exception of "Marathon of Anger", which was influenced by the Black Lives Matter protests of June 2020 and written and recorded during the events.

Release


Sympathy for Life

Release

With the release of the album delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the unexpected extra time allowed Andrew Savage to focus on aspects of the release that he otherwise wouldn't have: "You know, one of the saving graces of the whole [pandemic] was this record because, truth be told, I’ve worked on it every day since in some form or another. The album art, I had a ton more time to work on that, and it’s the best I’ve done. And we had time to mix it, we had time to work on these 11 different music videos and these 11 different events to promote the record. I’ve been doing merch and tour posters, this, that, and the other. So I really used this project to focus my attention on something. I’ve always got something to do, but this was a really good way to distract from the hellscape that was 2020."

Composition

Sympathy for Life works in garage rock "designed for the dance-floor", as well as dance-punk and synth-rock sounds.dance-inspired songs, the quartet's "expected [and] nervy" post-punk sound also appears.

Thomas Brown of Lanfine and Waterhaughs

Thomas Brown of Lanfine and Waterhaughs FRSE FFPSG (1774 – 16 March 1853) was a noted Scottish surgeon with an interest in botany, mineralogy and fossil collecting. He is best remembered for his large donation of his entire lifetime collection of fossils etc. to the University of Glasgow, which is generally known as the Lanfine Collection.

Life

Brown is thought to have been born in Glasgow in 1774. His father was a wealthy banker, also called Thomas Brown, and had purchased 117 acres of land in Langside from Robert Crawford of Possilpark. This house was completed in 1780 and he presumably spent his childhood here.

He attended the University of Edinburgh, studying botany, and was taught by Professor Daniel Rutherford.

He inherited the country estates of Lanfine and Waterhaughs in Ayrshire, from his cousin Nicol Brown in 1828. Lanfine House had been built by his uncle, John Brown (1729-1802) in 1772.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1830.

He died on 16 March 1853 in Glasgow.

The Lanfine Collection

Brown began collecting in 1803 following a gift of 200 minerals from Major Thomas Wilson. He purchased many samples and began collecting in the field in 1816.

Thomas’ daughter gifted his large collection, to be split between the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. This collection consists of 5,473 mineral samples and around 1,600 fully catalogued fossils received by the University of Glasgow in several instalments between 1875 and 1897. It included ‘’significant archaeological and ethnographic material’’.

Six hundred items of the mineral collection was passed to the University of Edinburgh in 1874, where it is now held by its Geology Department.

On his daughter's Martha's death her fortune was left to the University of Glasgow to provide the Lanfine Bursaries.

Family

He married Marian Jeffrey, sister of Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey, in 1800.

Ronald Haver

Ronald Haver (January 14, 1939 – May 18, 1993Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

In 1981, the idea to restore the classic Judy Garland version of the film A Star is Born (1954) took hold as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made tribute to longtime lyricist Ira Gershwin by screening "The Man That Got Away" number.Warner Bros. made the deletions without the cooperation of its director, George Cukor, and the scenes were lost for years, much to the disappointment of Garland fans and film historians. Because of the missing footage for the film, Haver used Cukor's production stills to cover the missing footage. The "restored" version of the film was screened at Radio City Music Hall on July 7, 1983, and was released nationwide.

Haver was also involved with second audio commentary tracks for many Criterion Collection LaserDisc releases such as the original King Kong and The Wizard of Oz.

Haver died on May 18, 1993, from an AIDS-related illness in a Culver City nursing home at the age of 54.

The Earthbound, 2008.

The band was formed in Athens in 1998 by six members and former members of The Last Drive, Honeydive, Rockin' Bones and Engine-V, which includes Alexis Kalofolias and Thanos Amorginos.Fractal Press magazine.

The Earthbound signed to Trade Records and recorded their self-titled debut album produced by their sound-engineer, Jim Spliff. It was released in 2000 and featured 13 songs, including three covers of songs by Kyuss, Woody Guthrie and Guillermo Portaballes that showcased the band's diverse influences.

In 2001, they recorded the soundtrack for the film Stakaman by Antonis Kafetzopoulos, which was released by M Records. At the same period, Alex K and Thanos A worked on the soundtrack for the film SOSE ME (directed by Stratos Tzitzis), released a few months later by Universal (Greece). The Earthbound spent the next eighteen months touring. They also took part in two benefit concerts for the campaign Escuelas para Chiapas (A School for Chiapas) and in June 2003 they played at the demonstration against the EU summit in Thessaloniki. In September 2003 Louis (former member of the historical Athenian punk band Stress) joined on trumpet and percussion.

In 2004, they signed to Sirius (the record label formed by Manos Hadjidakis) and started working on their third album, Brotherhood of the Dog, this time produced by Jim Spliff and the band itself. The album was released later the same year and featured 11 songs (including an Ennio Morricone cover).

In early 2005, they played two gigs in Cyprus and recruited a second trumpet player, Johnny Mato (also member of Dr. Vodkatini and Da Traces). The eight-piece band contributed a track to the Spinalonga records compilation In The Junkyard vol. II and continued touring and writing songs for their next album.

Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's

Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's is the debut album by the American hip hop trio Da Youngsta's. It was released on March 10, 1992 by East West. the album was produced by L.G. the Teacher, father of Da Youngsta's members Quran and Taji Goodman. Its release was accompanied by two singles, "Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's" and "Pass Da Mic". The latter peaked at number 10 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, but the album itself failed to chart.

Commercial performance

Somethin 4 Da Youngsta's failed to make an impact on the charts both album wise and single wise. The album/single was overshadowed by another teen-rap group Kris Kross, whose single Jump blew up over night. They found luck with their 2nd single Pass Da Mic remixed by Pete Rock and released in the summer of 1992. The single hit #10 on the Hot Rap Singles and hit 3rd most watched video on The Box.

Cape Sabine DEW Line Station

Cape Sabine DEW Line Station (FAA LID: Z53) is a closed United States Air Force facility. It was formerly a Distant Early Warning Line Intermediate type radar station. It was closed in 1963 and has been abandoned ever since. Title to the property has been transferred from the Air Force to the Cully Corporation.

Facilities

Cape Sabine Airport had one runway designated 2/20 with a 2,700 by 50 ft (823 x 15 m) gravel surface.

History

The airport was built in 1957 to support the Distant Early Warning Line Radar station at Cape Sabine (LIZ-A). The station was logistically supported by the 711th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron based at Cape Lisburne Air Force Station, although Cape Sabine was operated by civilian contract workers. It was closed in 1963 and has been abandoned ever since.

The radars and other military buildings were removed around 2000, returning the site to a natural condition.

Abe Peck

Abe Peck is a magazine consultant, writer, editor and professor, known for having been an editor and writer at the Chicago Seed underground newspaper from 1968 to 1971.

Biography

Early life and education

Peck was born in the Bronx, New York on Jan 18, 1945. He graduated from New York University with a degree in history and pursued graduate studies before dropping out of school and into New York's East Village.

Chicago Seed

In 1967, he landed in Chicago, where, after driving a company car to the March on the Pentagon, he began writing for the Seed. He became editor soon afterward, and led the paper toward the Yippies (Youth International Party), a group that planned surrealistic-oriented events for the 1968 Democratic Convention. Despite a split with Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin over tactics and transparency, he and other Seed staffers appeared in Lincoln Park throughout the demonstrations.

The paper was known for its colorful printing, artwork and comix.

"Covers ... favored bold images that told a bigger story instead of everyday photos ('Everyone knew what Vietnam and the military looked like,' says Peck). The inside could be just as striking, featuring poster-size pullouts with Day-Glo ink, gradient backgrounds, a wealth of major-label music ads, and intricate drawings.”

While supporting various movements, the Seed remained independent of organizational affiliation. "Although the paper was far left-leaning, it was known for its independence and impartiality on left-wing issues, not subscribing to a particular ideology, which was unusual for the time.”Seed grew increasingly radical and Peck left the paper in 1970.

Later career

Freelance writing led to an associate editorship at Rolling Stone magazine, where he edited, wrote features and edited the book Dancing Madness.The Chicago Daily News and then The Chicago Sun-Times. He went on to write for magazines from Outside to GQ.

Since 2019, he has been editor and now editor at large of Inside Unmanned Systems (insideunmannedsystems.com), which covers the autonomous vehicle space. He previously served as a Master Series Contributing Editor for Travel Weekly.

He is a principal in the firm Peck Consultants, for which he has performed more than 100 audits of magazines in various publishing platforms.

Regionalliga Berlin

The Regionalliga Berlin was the second-highest level of the German football league system in the city of West-Berlin in Germany from 1963 until the formation of the 2. Bundesliga in 1974. It was by far the smallest of the five Regionalligas.

Overview

The Regionalliga Berlin started out in 1963 with 10 teams in the league. From 1965 the league was expanded to 16 clubs. In 1969-70 the league played with 14 clubs and after that always with 12.

It was formed from the clubs of the Oberliga Berlin which finished second to eighth and the first three clubs of the Amateurliga Berlin. The last winner of the Oberliga Berlin, Hertha BSC Berlin, was promoted to the new Bundesliga and the bottom two teams of the Oberliga were relegated to the Amateurliga. The Regionalliga Berlin was as such a continuation of the Oberliga Berlin under a different name and a tier lower.

Along with the Regionalliga Berlin went another four Regionalligas, these five formed the second tier of German football until 1974:

  * Regionalliga West, covering the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen
  * Regionalliga Süd, covering the state of Bayern, Hessen and Baden-Württemberg
  * Regionalliga Nord, covering the states of Hamburg, Bremen, Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein
  * Regionalliga Südwest, covering the states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Saarland

The new Regionalligas were formed along the borders of the old post-World War II Oberligas, not after a balanced regional system. Therefore, the Oberligas Berlin and West covered small but populous areas while Nord and Süd covered large areas. Südwest was something of an anachronism, neither large nor populous.

The winners and runners-up of this league were admitted to the promotion play-off to the new Bundesliga, which was staged in two groups of originally four, later five teams each with the winner of each group going up.

The bottom team was relegated to the Amateurliga. Below the Regionalliga Berlin was the Amateurliga Berlin.

Tennis Borussia Berlin, SpVgg Blau-Weiß 1890 Berlin, Wacker 04 Berlin, Spandauer SV and Hertha Zehlendorf all played every season of the Regionalliga Berlin.


Regionalliga Berlin

Disbanding of the Regionalliga Berlin

The league was dissolved in 1974. Originally two clubs from the Regionalliga Berlin were to be integrated in the new 2. Bundesliga Nord, however, the Regionalliga champion Tennis Borussia Berlin won promotion to the Bundesliga and therefore only Wacker 04 Berlin was admitted into the new second division. The other ten teams in the league went to the new Oberliga Berlin.

Winners and runners-up of the Regionalliga Berlin

The winners and runners-up of the league were:

Season   Winner                  Runner-Up
1963–64  Tasmania 1900 Berlin    Tennis Borussia Berlin
1964–65  Tennis Borussia Berlin  Spandauer SV
1965–66  Hertha BSC Berlin       Tennis Borussia Berlin
1966–67  Hertha BSC Berlin       Tennis Borussia Berlin
1967–68  Hertha BSC Berlin       Tennis Borussia Berlin
1968–69  Hertha Zehlendorf       Tasmania 1900 Berlin
1969–70  Hertha Zehlendorf       Tennis Borussia Berlin
1970–71  Tasmania 1900 Berlin    Wacker 04 Berlin
1971–72  Wacker 04 Berlin        Tasmania 1900 Berlin
1972–73  Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin     Wacker 04 Berlin
1973–74  Tennis Borussia Berlin  Wacker 04 Berlin

  * Bold denotes team went on to gain promotion to the Bundesliga.
  * In 1965, SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin were promoted to Bundesliga even though they only finished third in the Regionalliga. This was because Hertha BSC was demoted from the Bundesliga for breach of rules, Tennis Borussia having failed in the promotion play–offs and Spandauer SV declining promotion. The German Football Association still wished to have a representative for Berlin in the league and elevated SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin instead.
  * TeBe is the only team from Berlin to have won the old Regionalliga (1965, 1974) and the new one (1996, 1998).

The Chicken in Black

"The Chicken in Black" is a song written by Gary Gentry and originally recorded by Johnny Cash.

Released as a single in 1984 (Columbia 38-04513, with "Battle of Nashville" on the opposite side),Billboard's country chart.

Cash was initially optimistic and pleased with the recording.

Lyrics

A humorous story song, the lyrics relate how Cash visits his doctor due to persistent headaches and is told that his body has "outlived [his] brain". The doctor performs a brain transplant on Cash, replacing his brain with that of a dead bank robber. When Cash visits a bank, however, his new brain compels him to rob it, and when he performs at the Grand Ole Opry some time later, he robs the audience of their valuables. He calls his doctor and demands his old brain back, but the doctor informs him that it has been transplanted into a chicken. The song ends with Cash warning his friends that if they meet him he might rob them and noting that if they have ten dollars spare they "ought to catch that Johnny Chicken Show".

Abe Shannon

Abraham Shannon OBE (15 March 1869 – 24 October 1945) was a pastoralist in South Australia, a substantial donor to philanthropic and patriotic causes.

History

Caricature by J. H. Chinner

Shannon was born at Stockwell, South Australia to David Shannon MHA (1822–1875) and his second wife Martha Shannon, née Davison (c. 1827–1917). He was educated at Whinham College and was a successful pastoralist, concentrating on wheat and sheep.

He died suddenly at his property, "Kingscourt",Eudunda, at the age of 76.

Contributions

His contributions to philanthropic and patriotic causes include:

  * During the Boer War he visited South Africa to investigate the conditions of sick and wounded troops, and paid for their hotel accommodation in Cape Town and Durban and other expenses incurred while recuperating.
  * During the Great War, having been rejected for active service, he went to England at his own expense and did voluntary war work, going to France, and working at many of the hospitals, with the honorary rank of captain in the Australian Red Cross.
  * He donated the prize for Eudunda's annual band competitions.
  * He provided the funds in 1929 to set up a new school in the district.
  * He started a memorial fund for Anderson and Hitchcock, who died while searching for Charles Kingsford Smith, who had been reported missing. (Anderson had been forced by engine trouble to land his 'plane "Kookaburra" in the Tanami Desert and subsequently perished.) Shannon considered Anderson's risky search for his once-friend particularly noble.

Regionalliga Nord (1963–1974)

For other uses, see Regionalliga Nord (disambiguation).

The Regionalliga Nord was the second-highest level of the German football league system in the north of Germany from 1963 until the formation of the 2. Bundesliga in 1974. It covered the states of Niedersachsen, Bremen, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.

Overview

The Regionalliga Nord started out in 1963 with 18 teams in the league, had 17 clubs from 1964 to 1971 and then returned to a strength of 18.

It was formed from the thirteen clubs of the Oberliga Nord which were not admitted to the new Bundesliga and from five promoted clubs from the Amateurliga. The Regionalliga Nord was as such a continuation of the Oberliga Nord under a different name and a tier lower.

Along with the Regionalliga Nord went another four Regionalligas, these five formed the second tier of German football until 1974:

  * Regionalliga West, covering the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen
  * Regionalliga Süd, covering the state of Bayern, Hessen and Baden-Württemberg
  * Regionalliga Berlin, covering West-Berlin
  * Regionalliga Südwest, covering the states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Saarland

The new Regionalligas were formed along the borders of the old post-World War II Oberligas, not after a balanced regional system. Therefore, the Oberligas Berlin and West covered small but populous areas while Nord and Süd covered large areas. Südwest was something of an anachronism, neither large nor populous.

The winners and runners-up of this league were admitted to the promotion playoff to the Bundesliga, which was staged in two groups of originally four, later five teams each with the winner of each group going up.

The bottom two teams were relegated to the Amateurligas. Below the Regionalliga Nord were the following Amateurligas:

  * Amateurliga Bremen
  * Amateurliga Hamburg
  * Amateurliga Schleswig-Holstein
  * Amateurliga Niedersachsen (in two groups for the 1963-64 season)


Regionalliga Nord (1963–1974)

The FC St. Pauli, VfL Osnabrück, Holstein Kiel, Arminia Hannover, VfB Lübeck, VfL Wolfsburg and TuS Bremerhaven 93 all played all eleven seasons of the Regionalliga Nord. The VfL Osnabrück stands out in its consistency, having before that played every season of the Oberliga Nord (1947–1963) and afterwards also every season of the 2. Bundesliga Nord (1974–1981). This 37-year run ended only in 1985 when the club was relegated from the 2. Bundesliga to the Oberliga, for a year.

Disbanding of the Regionalliga Nord

The league was dissolved in 1974. According to their performance of the last couple of seasons, six clubs of the Regionalliga went to the new 2. Bundesliga Nord, Eintracht Braunschweig, the champion, was promoted to the Bundesliga. Ten clubs were relegated to the new Oberliga Nord. The northern region was the only one of the five who chose to continue to run a unified highest league for its area, the new Oberliga Nord, not to be confused with the old Oberliga Nord which run till 1963. Two clubs were relegated all the way to the fourth tier, the Amateurligas.

The teams admitted to the 2. Bundesliga Nord were:

  * FC St. Pauli
  * VfL Osnabrück
  * VfL Wolfsburg
  * HSV Barmbek-Uhlenhorst
  * Olympia Wilhelmshaven
  * SC Göttingen 05

The relegated teams to the Oberliga Nord were:

  * VfB Oldenburg
  * SV Meppen
  * Arminia Hannover
  * Concordia Hamburg
  * OSV Hannover
  * Holstein Kiel
  * TuS Bremerhaven 93
  * Heider SV
  * Itzehoer SV
  * Phönix Lübeck

Two teams were relegated all the way to the fourth tier:

  * VfB Lübeck
  * VfL Pinneberg

Re-formation of the Regionalliga Nord


Regionalliga Nord (1963–1974)

Re-formation of the Regionalliga Nord

The Regionalliga Nord reformed in 1994, now as the third tier of German football, taking over from the Oberliga Nord which was disband. In 2000, the Regionalligas were reduced in numbers to two, Nord now covered all of the northern half of Germany. In 2008, with the introduction of the 3. Liga, the Regionalliga became the fourth tier of German football. The clubs from Nordrhein-Westfalen joined the new Regionalliga West and the clubs based in the southern part of former East Germany which were playing in the Regionalliga Süd joined instead.

The Earthly Paradise

For the Judaeo-Christian legend, see Garden of Eden.

The Earthly Paradise by William Morris is an epic poem. It is a lengthy collection of retellings of various myths and legends from Greece and Scandinavia. Publication began in 1868 and several later volumes followed until 1870. The volumes were published by F.S. Ellis.

The Earthly Paradise was generally well received by reviewers: according to one study it "established Morris's reputation as one of the foremost poets of his day".

The Gentle Music of a Bygone Day, John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, 1873, National Trust, Wightwick Manor

Morris uses a frame story concerning a group of medieval wanderers searching for a land of everlasting life. After much disillusionment they discover a surviving colony of Greeks with whom they exchange stories. The poem is divided into twelve sections, each section representing a month of the year and containing two tales told in verse, drawn largely from classical mythology or mediaeval legends, including the Icelandic sagas.

All of Morris's subsequent books were published as "by the author of The Earthly Paradise".

Story

The prologue introduces a company of Norsemen who have fled the pestilence and set sail to seek the fabled Earthly Paradise "across the western sea where none grow old." Not having succeeded in their quest, they have returned "shrivelled, bent, and grey," after lengthy wanderings abroad, to a "nameless city in a distant sea" where the worship of the ancient Greek gods has not died out. In this hospitable city they spend the rest of their lives. Twice each month they participate in a feast at which a tale is told, alternately, by one of the city elders and one of the wanderers. The former tell tales on classical subjects, and the latter draw their tales from Norse and other medieval sources. Thus, of the twenty-four stories, twelve are Greek and classical and twelve are medieval or romantic. Each pair of stories corresponds with one of the twelve months, which follow the natural succession of the seasons. In this way, the first two tales are told in March, the second two in April, and so on. Thus the long poem is neatly partitioned into twelve books with interpolated prologues and epilogues in the form of lyrics about the progressive changes in nature.

Form


The Earthly Paradise

Form

The Earthly Paradise is written in different forms. William Morris used rhyme royal,heroic couplet or iambic tetrameter. This is an example of seven-line rhyme royal (with rhyme scheme ABABBCC).

O love, this morn when the sweet nightingale
Had so long finished all he had to say,
That thou hadst slept, and sleep had told his tale;
And midst a peaceful dream had stolen away
In fragrant dawning of the first of May,
Didst thou see aught? didst thou hear voices sing
Ere to the risen sun the bells 'gan ring?

— May, Stanza 1

Influence

Tolkien's use of frame stories was directly influenced by Morris's poem. In particular, the frame story of Tolkien's legendarium, starting from the travels of Ælfwine the mariner, was modelled on the poem's frame story, that "mariners of Norway, having ... heard of the Earthly Paradise, set sail to find it".Book of Lost Tales II contains one of the legendarium's foundation-poems that similarly describes the "Wanderer" Earendel, who sails "West of the Moon, east of the Sun".
