Fifty years later (almost exactly) we find ourselves trapped in a state of constant and potentially endless wars, at the mercy of the very thing President Eisenhower spoke about.

I'm still stunned to this day how it exists simultaneously as a complete piece of crap and the greatest creative/inspirational tool in our humble arsenal. I remember Matt calling me one day, totally beside himself with excitement. Being an unemployed carpenter at the time, Matt put his misfortune to good use in crafting a beautifully finished wooden home for the busted up chassis. The amp now lives at his house, where we do most of our songwriting. The Harmony spews out a sonic texture that could only be described as "shitty." Yet this gritty, barely functional little bastard somehow brings out the best in us; its rustic charm uncannily completes our most fragmented of compositions.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">2.

At Metropolis, we meticulously taste and evaluate coffee from all around the world (some current offerings include Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Peru), and we work to develop roasting techniques and resulting profiles that best represent the products farmers have worked tirelessly to cultivate.

That’s why the New York rock band, <a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=morningcode"><b>The Morning Code</b></a>, is using the service to spread the word about their album, <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tell Someone</span></span>. Doing the good deed of passing on the message <span style="font-weight:bold;">“#Tell Someone about The Morning Code”</span> will get participating Twitter users a secret link to the band’s unreleased mp3 “Start Again”.<br /><br />The Morning Code is committed to getting their music out to the people who will love it. Frontman Ashwin Alexander says, “If even a handful of people can cherish some of our music the same we that we cherish our favorite bands’ music, that would be amazing”. A testament to this attitude is the fact that their album, Tell Someone is available for free from their website. It’s there, ready to be cherished.<div class="blogger-post-footer">489652d166eb4c0bbe4e3924ce8971ab</div>Kelly Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555775780517471796noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459215.post-50429797918172609022011-02-10T12:42:00.002-05:002011-02-10T15:12:59.747-05:00Facebook Quiz Reveals What Type of Lover You Are Through John Shipe’s Songs Take The Quiz, Get A Free Song<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxAO7q-xQD3PPj9DpNG1eLXUid76zBCHzo1IC1DDjox6c9XXjVewQcHUq0_IEhQECsSQchCGryNabrZ1-l6xSq5ES1j3y3aB4EpueEF0mlH7g1mkoGZjwNxXIb0vlAovAs1UtNFg/s1600/GraySing.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 201px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxAO7q-xQD3PPj9DpNG1eLXUid76zBCHzo1IC1DDjox6c9XXjVewQcHUq0_IEhQECsSQchCGryNabrZ1-l6xSq5ES1j3y3aB4EpueEF0mlH7g1mkoGZjwNxXIb0vlAovAs1UtNFg/s320/GraySing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572155027180297138" /></a>Nothing gets you more in the mood for Valentine’s Day like a good love song, and this year, songwriter John Shipe wants to help you find out what type of lover you are and give you a free song from his latest album, Villain, to match. By simply taking a Facebook quiz about your love life, you’ll unlock the song that most matches your style. Nice guy or girl who has no luck in love? You’ll get “Villain”. Give up everything for love? Then “No Use Crying Over Spilt Life” is your tune. Too busy saving the world to make time for love? Then you’ll hear “What Right Do We Have To Fall In Love?”. And if you’ve been alone for a while and worried that you’re the problem, “Love Belongs To Everyone” is your love song. Facebook users can access the quiz here: <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/makeaquiz/?target=home&sr=ff&xid=2124638&hid=62a5de1cce75fd5ddb8883ac7dee9da4">http://apps.facebook.com/makeaquiz/?target=home&sr=ff&xid=2124638&hid=62a5de1cce75fd5ddb8883ac7dee9da4</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">489652d166eb4c0bbe4e3924ce8971ab</div>Kelly Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555775780517471796noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459215.post-56110542674176881572011-02-10T11:50:00.005-05:002011-02-10T12:02:15.559-05:00Grand Atlantic to Play 2nd Annual International Psychout at SXSW on March 18th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XreIBw5QAu5XvfS2-ykOWGs4wwN4bZ2cQOQo051-QXUZ3oxo6sL2c5gzH05y0dvYGan7yKzuOCYhj5FFZTlrAXaFy1QB_AhcxTGcYV69mK6lRZpiO8MHonyFTk-L9j3c0kf_aQ/s1600/GA.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XreIBw5QAu5XvfS2-ykOWGs4wwN4bZ2cQOQo051-QXUZ3oxo6sL2c5gzH05y0dvYGan7yKzuOCYhj5FFZTlrAXaFy1QB_AhcxTGcYV69mK6lRZpiO8MHonyFTk-L9j3c0kf_aQ/s320/GA.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572105064940435762" /></a>Brisbane’s power pop quartet, <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=grandatlantic"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Grand Atlantic</span></a></span> will bring the psychedelic sounds from their new album to The 2nd Annual International Psychout at Paisley Umbrella in Austin on March 18.

The Hoa Hoas, The Broadfield Marchers, Strangers Family Band, Runaway Suns, The Ugly Beats and The Chevelles will join them.<br /><br />Grand Atlantic recorded their as yet untitled third record in Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, an abandoned psychiatric hospital near Dunedin, New Zealand, where they delved into darker emotional territory, experimented with new recording techniques and experienced the effects of their haunting (and possibly haunted) surroundings. They will bring the psychedelic results of their explorations to the United States this March, playing gigs in Chicago, New York and at SXSW, kicking off in Chicago at Reggie’s Music Joint on March 11th.<div class="blogger-post-footer">489652d166eb4c0bbe4e3924ce8971ab</div>Kelly Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555775780517471796noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459215.post-30033236305292825972011-02-09T12:17:00.003-05:002011-02-09T12:24:47.930-05:00Baby Teardrops to Play SXSW Show at The Liberty on March 19th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/content/babyteardrops/photos/5_photo_by_Photographer_Nicki%20Ishmael.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/content/babyteardrops/photos/5_photo_by_Photographer_Nicki%20Ishmael.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">South By Southwest</span> fans, prepare for a dose of New York City rocker attitude. <a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=babyteardrops"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Baby Teardrops</span></a>, full of propulsive energy, will deliver a live show that promises audiences at Austin’s The Liberty a bang in the heart. The band’s first show at <span style="font-weight:bold;">SXSW</span> will take place on March 19.<br /><br />Given the energy bursting from the NYC trio, it should come as no surprise that they bring that power to the stage. “Live we are ruthless. Tight and fast and loud,” says frontman Matthew Dunehoo. “We mean a mean business. Live, we’ll hold our own up against anyone. We’ll take on Springsteen for Pete’s sake.” Audiences can expect to hear songs from their forthcoming debut album, <span style="font-style:italic;">X is For Love</span>, which comes out April 12, as well as some new songs not yet recorded.<span class="fullpost"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">489652d166eb4c0bbe4e3924ce8971ab</div>Kelly Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555775780517471796noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459215.post-26306500241101099582011-02-07T19:14:00.004-05:002011-02-11T01:19:47.431-05:00The Morning Birds To Release The Quickening April 26, 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYqNnQ4lbSqZf5rUF1sqzDWKuomdVPNqb7_if7VGOXEWvTKh2wSIfAy0FO6XUFzFOe2u-ZvOwR5V6POwe8EiBa_j7Sn2Qh5wjO28pwlamXVqKkoRdjAimeoRXlCUpRJcWDNt-M7Q/s1600/MB.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYqNnQ4lbSqZf5rUF1sqzDWKuomdVPNqb7_if7VGOXEWvTKh2wSIfAy0FO6XUFzFOe2u-ZvOwR5V6POwe8EiBa_j7Sn2Qh5wjO28pwlamXVqKkoRdjAimeoRXlCUpRJcWDNt-M7Q/s320/MB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571109996297481010" /></a>When you get out of your own way and let ideas flow, there is no limit to the things you will create. LA’s <a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=themorningbirds"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Morning Birds</span></a>, masters of synthesizing influences and inspiration, are following this philosophy and reaping the rewards. The duo’s second LP, <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Quickening</span></span>, out April 26, aims to pass that inspiration on to listeners worldwide with passionate, soulful and uplifting songs.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><span style="font-style:italic;">The Quickening</span> is a study in the power of contrast. While forming an uncanny mixture of sounds that embrace unlikely sources, the band’s sound is both familiar and mysterious, groovy yet mellow, profound but fun. It is often times ground breaking. Their powerful bass lines, lush harmonies and soulful strings are complimented by break beats, trumpets, and cascading keys while <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jennifer Thorington</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Samuel Markus’</span> vocals unfold into a gentle blend as if <span style="font-weight:bold;">Imogen Heap</span> met <span style="font-weight:bold;">Andre 3000</span>.<br /><br />There’s no place like home, especially to explore your creativity, and The Morning Birds are lucky enough to be able to work out of theirs. “It’s peace on earth and our own little heaven and outstanding creative space.” That is how Jennifer Thorington describes their amazing home. With an amazing view of the mountains outside of LA, a temple next door and a freestanding music studio, it’s the perfect place to create an album like The Quickening. They say of the process, “Sam opened up to embrace more of his creativity and Jenn has evolved as a writer and singer and has had equal creative input in all aspects of the songwriting and recording processes.”<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">The Quickening</span> Track List</span><br /><br />1.

Who would have thought I would have ever been excited about exercising. Certainly not me. I've also found a new found love for Rihanna and Eminem as a result. I'll spare you from that playlist though, instead offering a solid indie rock list grounded in my roots of what makes me oh-so-hipster-cool.<br />

<div>Whether you call it a Hallmark holiday or Valentine's Day, you will be submerged by hundreds of advertisements encouraging you to express your love to someone special. No matter how large your ego may be, secretly, everyone hopes for the love god Eros, son of Aphrodite (a.k.a. Cupid), to strike us with his arrow.<br />
<br />
If then, here are a few definitions of love to help guide you.<br />
<br />
</div><div>We've asked a few of our <a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/">GLG</a> clients to define what love is and what it means to them. So, if sorting out your feelings feels a lot like Egypt's government right now, this is for you.<br />
<br />
And while you're waiting on Cupid, enjoy the featured Mp3s.<br />

It is a constant renewal of our appreciation for each other and our lives together. Everyday we make a conscious decision to be as present, open, honest, caring and compassionate as we can be. It definitely is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. The more we can help one another see the love we hold within for our selves, the deeper we can open up our hearts. Not only for each other, but everyone we come in contact with. For us, love is a constantly evolving celebration of the connections we have in our lives and a beautiful way to experience our intimate and unique bond we hold <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>together." - Sam & Jenn </div><div><br />

I believe that having a community is crucial in the art and music world, so I send emails to people whose work I like. A while back, I sent an email to <b>Cake</b> frontman <b>John McCrea</b>, to tell him how much I love his songwriting. He asked me if I wanted to do some artwork for the band. John and I still keep in touch, knowing him has been really encouraging. Currently, I’m working on a series of <b>Robert Johnson</b> drawings for <b>Sony Music</b>. Sony owns Johnson's original recordings, so my drawings will be animated to tell the story of his life and the Blues. I have been talking with <b>Jens Lekman</b> about doing some artwork as well, so we’ll see.

And before you're even meeting the "potential" boyfriend you're asking yourself questions like: <br />
<div><br />
"<span class="Apple-style-span">Should you wait for him to approach you or should you just approach him</span>?" "<span class="Apple-style-span">Is he single?</span>" Then you see him having dinner with another man and think "<span class="Apple-style-span">his friend is cute too</span>" and now you're wondering which one to approach. THEN you remember it's Valentines day and you ask yourself, "<span class="Apple-style-span">wait a minute, are they lovers or friends?</span>"<br />
<br />
....Unless you ask, you just never can tell.</div><div><br />
Something like this happened to Matthew Dunehoo from <b><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=babyteardrops">Baby Teardrops</a></b> and his friend Mick Myer.<br />
<br />
"It was February, 2004. Me and my best buddy Mick were out to dinner at our favorite old school Italian restaurant in Kansas City, the oldest restaurant in those parts and revered by many. Pastel, glow in the black light murals of the Italian countryside on the walls, hanging gardens, garlic bread to un-vamp for.<br />
<br />
It was a busy night, the restaurant was packed. We were seated in the middle of the dining area and both smokers at the time, proceeded to light up, which in retrospect was indeed rude but we were both high on youthful obstinance and thrift store fashion, and it was the era of W. so...<br />
<br />
The awkward glances and not so subtle whisperings failed to cease even after we'd extinguished our smokes in a peace gesture. Mike and I, together, illuminated by candlelight, out to dinner on an ordinary Saturday night. In the middle of a traditional family restaurant in a traditionally conservative neighborhood...discussing the cinema and celebrating...Valentine's Day?<br />
<br />
Shortly after our entrees arrived, it hit us both. It was Valentine's day. And here was your token suburban gay rabble rousing couple smoking, laughing out loud, wearing scarves in public, on that oh-so-commercial of nights reserved for hetero-flamboyance and chocolate gobbling (and nothing else mind you.)<br />
<br />
I can't remember where Mike's wife was at the time, but the branding stuck. This, re-affirmed by our visit again this past November when the same waitress from 2004, a "lifer" asked us whether the total should come on one or two checks. She says, wistfully as wondering off: 'I never can tell with you two...'"<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Matthew<br />

Well, not really. Unfortunately, winter lasts far too long in Michigan, and for me, it's a dreadful four months of snow, freezing temperatures, and worst of all, soggy pant legs.

<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"></span></b></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">They should listen if they want music that has a lot going on underneath the surface.

I don't view my music as easily digestible pop candy, it's deeper and more thought provoking. So, for people that like that, I welcome you into my world.</span></b><br />

<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">I think as far as a good fit for touring together I would pick someone similar to my vibe, probably Wilco, maybe Arcade Fire. I would love to play with Johnny Cash but that won't happen until we meet in the afterlife.</span></b></div><br />

I love to cook... Thai, Italian, French. I am fascinated by food the same way as I am music. It's never ending and there are certain basic rules that you need to understand before you can break down the door and go in a new direction, so I love that it requires a lot of practice and can't be faked.</span></b></div><br />
<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you like to do in your spare time?</span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Cook, hike, travel, take a long drive somewhere random....hang with animals. I do love movies too.</span><br />

Despite this year's short-comings, Gervais did snag a Golden Globe Award in 2004 for Best Actor in a TV Series Comedy for his role as "David Brent" in the BBC hit The Office. If it were up to us, we would nominate Gervais in the "Entertainer of the Year" category.<br /><br />On behalf of <a href="http://greenlightgopublicity.com/">GLG</a>, I am hosting the Green Globes...and the Green Light Globe nominees are:<br /><br /><div><div><br /><div style="border: medium none;"><strong>Most likely to be touring in a town near you:</strong></div><br /></div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xWZoxPS-rp0/TUOWp8uYVXI/AAAAAAAAAGk/lExqhkfsSrk/s200/GwynethAndMonkoresize.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567459211779528050" /><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=gwynethmonko&page=events">Gwyneth & Monko</a></div><div style="border: medium none;">Genre: Americana/Roots Music/Alernative</div><div style="border: medium none;">For fans of: Emmy Lou Harris, Patty Griffin, Jenny Lewis</div><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gwyneth-Monko/101973483187137">Facebook</a></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xWZoxPS-rp0/TUOXGAHhDII/AAAAAAAAAGs/qb06cE23p2M/s200/GB7_photo_by_Alicia_J_Rose_medium.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567459693726600322" /><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=goldenbloom&page=events">Golde</a><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=goldenbloom&page=events">n Bloom</a></div><div style="border: medium none;">Genre: Indie/Rock/Pop</div><div style="border: medium none;">For fans of: Ben Kweller, Wilco (Summerteeth Era)</div><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/thegoldenbloom">Facebook</a></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: transparent; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border: medium none;"><br /></div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xWZoxPS-rp0/TUOX1Ao77xI/AAAAAAAAAG0/TvhCNpxHyFg/s200/Michael_J_Epstein_Memorial_Library1_medium.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 199px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567460501320625938" /><div style="border: medium none;"><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=goldenbloom&page=events"></a><a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=michaeljepsteinmemoriallibrary&page=events">Michael J.

</tbody></table><em></em> I have fallen in love with <a href="http://www.greenlightgopublicity.com/clients/?client=seafarer"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seafarer</span></a>. Their music is a mosaic of genres – rock, folk, psych, pop – that meshes perfectly to create such a riveting sound. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Patrick Grzelewski</span>, lead vocalist of the Chicago band, delivers the poetic lyrics in a gritty and almost raw fashion. This is a style I can dig. We can all relate to that feeling and need to shout out loud and by joining in with Grzelewski, you can do just that.<br />
<br />
Recently releasing their EP <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Hidden Places</span> on Jan. 18, Seafarer stopped in for a <a href="http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/seafarer-concert/20054534-111962.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Daytrotter</span></a> session to record four tracks. We highly recommend downloading the free mp3's from the session if you know what's good for you.<br />
