When you sit at home watching the continuing protest, marching, window-smashing, burning buildings, dissing school faculties and political mud-slinging all being done in the name of a cause … do you ever think, “WHO is going to clean this mess up?”

BG. B for Boris. G for Grebenshikov. In Russia and Ukraine, in Belarus and Latvia, as well as in many other former Soviet Union countries, these initials immediately identify the man who, at 62, has often been considered as the greatest living Russian poet and singer and is a real cult hero there. Bilingual mathematician Boris Grebenshikov has also been known in the West since 1986, when his band Aquarium was featured on "Red Wave," the first compilation of rock music from St Petersburg released by a U.S. record label. Three years later, MTV audiences could see him on video clips, singing in English, and he was likened to a "Russian Bob Dylan, David Bowie or Marc Bolan" depending on the critics. Every Western journalist was trying to find an equivalent to the multiform talent of Boris, who had signed with CBS/Columbia. Boris Grebenshikov was not the first Soviet citizen seduced by rock and roll even though this music style, which communist ideologists considered as a sort of bourgeois perversion, was not to be found in record shops. He was not the first one singing rock in Russian or wearing long hair and faded jeans. But he was the first to fully pass on the whole Western sp… (read more)

Kikukawa’s global breakout, how­ever, was a more recent move: The com­pany produced the swirling central ramp and about 1,000 exterior fins — all in an auburn-colored, hand-patinated bronze — for media giant Bloomberg’s $1.2 billion European headquarters in London. That project, led by London company Foster + Partners, stretched over five years. “Bronze is an expensive and tricky mate­rial to work with,” says Yoshihiko Utsuno, Kikukawa’s president and the youngest son of its founder. Utsuno smiles as he says this: It’s clearly a source of pride and one of his company’s strengths, having spent decades manufacturing bronze doors and other decorative pieces for Buddhist temples.

Now it spawns Missoula Rewound, a weekly spin through past Missoulian papers in an attempt to capture a sense of how we were living and what we were reading in the days of yore.

However, as history now decrees, credit for the European discovery of the Hunter River falls to Lt John Shortland, of the Royal Navy. 

Commenter: morganI graduated in 1999 with a degree in animation and video anticipating a well paying job. I was fortunate to find one a year later with a good company, a navy contractor. I was able to make my $400 dollar loan payments with ease and was proud to do so. I was paying my way, American dream kinda stuff. A few years later I lost that job as the program I was working for got cut back. I wasn’t able to take any of the work I had done for this company with me as a portfolio, so finding a new job was tricky. After a few years of being unable to find work I fell into a depression which cost me among other things a fiance. I’m going back to college now to become a nurse, but my $40,000 in loans have blown up to $80,000, with more interest being capitalized every month. My loans are in default and soon they will begin taking 15% of my meager income. When I finally do graduate nursing I’ll be faced with over $1000 in loan payments a month on a nurses salary. I took out my loans in good faith. I was smart about only borrowing the money I needed. I don’t use credit cards and my car is payed for quicky so the only debt I have is my school loans. While i was employed I made my payments proudly and on time. My fiance was even paying my loans the first year I was unemployed so I wouldn’t have to take a deferment. Now this loan is growing out of control like a cancer. I want to pay back the money I borrowed, but the rest of this is just raw profiteering off of my misfortunes. I’ll be enslaved paying for the degree I can no longer use.

n his New York Times review of Bill Frisell and Thomas Morgan’s Small Town (5.19.2017), Giovanni Russonello called the former "a giant of improvised music, whose smoldering, tube–amplified guitar sound never loses its air of positivist contemplation." As for bassist Morgan, some 30 years Frisell’s junior, "his warm and serious bass tone can assimilate itself into almost any band, becoming the music’s sturdy architecture without compromising his own blunt power." In 2005, Bill Frisell’s Unspeakable won the GRAMMY Award in the category of Best Contemporary Jazz Album; recorded live in New York, Small Town is his first album for ECM Records as a leader/co–leader since Lookout For Hope in 1988. "It’s in the more naked, completely vulnerable environs of the duo—where the need for musical trust is, perhaps, at its most crucial—that the profound chemistry shared by these two thoroughly synchronized players becomes even clearer."

Andy’s herd of dogs scouted into a stand of willers and quakies where the ditch neared the river. They spooked a cow moose and her four-day old calf! The pair ran down the ditch bank. Andy called off his dogs and followed Mama Moose and baby at an easy walk, just watchin’. Gracie snorted and pranced, unsure about the moose.

So frequently compared to the Velvet Underground that they were featured in the 1996 film ‘I Shot Andy Warhol,’ Hoboken-based Yo La Tengo has explored the extremes of feedback-driven noise rock and sweetly melodic pop. They’ve always been the band to bridge the gap between critical acclaim and indie popularity. As Yo La Tengo’s career has developed since their 1984 inception, The New York Times remarks that they specialize in "guitar-driven songs about the compromise and joy of daily life." They draw a cult-like following along with new fans who dig their sound. For the unfamiliar, think The Weepies mashed up with The Velvet Underground and hints of The Flaming Lips. Modern and timeless at the same time. Their music at various moments has encompassed folk, punk, electronica, jam, shoegazer rock, and more.
