Hi Joey,

I had this on our calendar and noticed that there’s not much coverage of it anywhere else.  This is a public presentation at the Gloucester High Auditorium and for $5, how could you go wrong? More info here: http://northshorekid.com/event/live-rainforest-animal-presentation-ghs

Enjoy!

Nice Muff Master Muff.

So to begin the day I had a monster lead but when I showed up at the gym Muffy had already left with a slim 4 point lead.

….and that’s when I got the nifty instagram message you see above from her.

If you don’t think that motivated to increase my lead you’re taking crazy pills!

So here’s your update.

Thursday night blues party with Dave Sag and his guest Chris Stovall Brown 9:00pm-12:00am

IMG_8220

 There’s a big light in the eastern sky… three dudes a-camelback with their Garmins’ girded onto the Rhumb Line, several homies rattling their change cups, big tippers looking’ for a l’il ease. Could it be?  The word says, he’s comin’  to town, and I don’t mean Santa. I’m talking’ about that cavernous repository of the blues  book: Mr. Chris “Stovall” Brown. Last time he was here, mere mortals cringed and begged for mercy and black cat bones got stuck in everyones’ throats. Now he’s back and I’m scared. Come see him and nod to the boogie beat! Strapped into the electric drum chair will be that hirsutely-challenged flammer of skins: Mr. Steve Chaggaris. I’ll be on bass, as usual, sweating profusely, and trying to keep up.It’ll be great show.

P&V’s LOL #11: Clean, matching socks repel

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

EINSTEINADVERTISEMENTCalling all quantum physicists.  (I know you’re not a physicist, Paul, but perhaps you can help me out.)  There must be some sort of mysterious force at work here.  Try this experiment to see what I mean:

STEP 1: Hold your nose and take off the pair of socks you’ve been wearing all day, being careful to put them in the laundry basket right next to each other.

STEP 2: Now wash and dry all the laundry in that basket.  (In order for this experiment to work, there must be at least 3 other pairs of socks in the laundry that you wash and dry together.)

STEP 3: Take all the laundry out of the dryer and start pulling out socks looking for a match.

Here’s what I bet you’ll find (assuming there are 4 pairs of socks in the laundry):  You’ll pick out one sock from each of the four pairs before you find a single match.  Now the probability of that happening is very low.  (It’s been a while since I solved probability problems by I’m pretty sure I’m right about this.)

So what causes these clean matching socks to repel?  My guess is that it is related somehow to quantum entanglement, which Einstein derided as spooky action at a distance, but was nevertheless proven experimentally several times (see this article for a good timeline of quantum entanglement).

Now, this doesn’t seem to bother Vickie at all, and normally I just let these little life mysteries go and don’t worry about them.  But sparks are flying out of my socks because of this awful dry weather, lately.  These socks are taunting me, as if to say, “Bet I can shock you four times before you’ll find a match!”

Any help you geniuses can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Kingsley Flood New CD Release Party Saturday, February 2nd, Rhumbline, 9 PM

Kingsley Flood’s love affair with Gloucester continues when they return to the Rhumbline THIS Saturday, February 2nd, to debut their new CD BATTLES.  Hot off the press, three songs have been premiered by Rolling Stone, Magnet, MTV Buzzworthy, and American Songwriter in the past three weeks.

Kingsley Flood won the 2012 Boston Music Award for Best Americana Band, but their new CD defies the genre.  An energetic hybrid of roots rock, folk, pop and punk multi-instrumentation fused with lyrics that dig deep in universal truths, sets this band apart from the rest.  They combine fiery musicianship and addictive songwriting with electrifying performances that have earned them the moniker “best live band in Boston” by the Boston Herald while burning up the stage from Burlington to Washington, D.C.

The CD will be available for purchase at the show BUT should come with a warning label: This is an addictive substance!  As HubARTs reviewed, “There’s an abundance of big hooks and little grace notes that will lodge these songs in your head.”

So come out Saturday night to witness a special happening as Kingsley Flood is sure to springboard from the Rhumbline into the rock stratosphere soon as the whole world seems to be waking up and taking notice.  See what others have had to say recently:

“Through smart songwriting, effortless arrangement and most of all total conviction, Kingsley Flood managed to turn out one of the most aggressively entertaining sets that anyone will be delivering in 2013 or possibly any year.  A flirtateous comingling of Americana, punk and folk provides the backbone to their music on record and in a live setting that mix is turned up to eleven.”  ChunkyGlasses

“Kingsley Flood’s Americana-rooted offerings is the kind of music for every man, rich or poor, beloved or bereft, believer or unbeliever. And like all genuine American articles, this spirited band is equal parts rough-and-tumble country and brazenly unbridled rock.”   D.C. Music Download

“…all rusty mic’d vocals gift-wrapped in barbed wire. One battle we bet the band didn’t fight: that opening guitar riff. George Hall’s (Gloucester’s own) plays like a kid opening Christmas presents — with a machete.”  Rolling Stone

 

“the latest sneak-peek from Kingsley Flood‘sBattles, is sure to knock your ass to the floor.” Last Stop Wonderland

 

“So you haven’t seen Kingsley Flood yet?  You haven’t witnessed their brand of Americana Grind – equal parts Country, Rock, Blues, and Post-punk Americana…This is just about as good as it gets right now.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge Quote Of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

January 25, 2013

And winter slumbering in the open air,

Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring…

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) from “Work Without Hope” 1832

image

An English poet and aesthetic philosopher, Coleridge may be best known for his long poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and Kubla Khan. He had intended to enter the ministry but was given an annuity by Josiah Wedgewood so that he might devote himself to writing. A life-long friend of William Wordsworth, he was an important influence on Emerson and the Transcendentalists and is frequently credited with helping to foster both the Romantic and Gothic sensibilities. His lectures on Shakespeare and Milton did much to raise awareness of their writing to the heights they enjoy today. He suffered from depression, which he treated with laudanum, leading to opium addiction, against which he struggled for many years, but which ultimately contributed to his demise.
