Louis Cole & Genevieve Artadi of KNOWER: “My Buick” w/ Germany’s WDR Big Band [VIDEO]

MusicJuly 2020 • Views: 24,772

The new ending of this version of Louis Cole’s “My Buick” made me feel things I never knew I could feel for a Buick.

“My Buick” (komponiert von Louis Cole) ist das letzte Stück in der Videoreihe mit dem unabhängigen elektronischen Musikduo “KNOWER”. Louis Cole selbst schrieb das Arrangement für die WDR BIG BAND, mit Rob Bruynen an der Trompete. Chefdirigent Bob Mintzer dirigiert die WDR BIG BAND.
Dieses Video wurde im Mai 2019 im WDR Studio 4 in Köln, Deutschland, produziert.

The #DNC did not choose Joe Biden as the candidate in some closed-doors smoke filled room. The voters overwhelmingly chose Joe Biden in their state primary elections. If you still can’t bring yourself to #voteblue then don’t claim to be “progressive” you’re a MAGAt. #Biden2020

Not really much of a surprise (assuming that is bubonic plague which is being referred to) - Central Asia has long been regarded as the original home, and still-existing reservoir for, the Yersinia pestis organism: and, as it is vectored in wild rodents, many of the cases recorded worldwide are from that region. Though one would think the locals would figure that chowing down on some General Tso’s Marmot wouldn’t be a good idea…

I’m feeling like I’m in limbo-land. Seven days ago I turned 66, and six days from now I’ll wake up retired. My career is kind of sputtering to a close in isolation as we all work from home and 90% of our interactions are gone.

Is your company based out of Love Field, northeast side?

Greenville. The company has gone through about half a dozen name changes since its founding in the 50s, where it started out fixing military aircraft. It’s now L3Harris. Because of that, the Greenville airport, an otherwise tiny airport, has a runway long enough to land 747s. Air Force One could actually land out there if it needed to.

RC-135 Rivet Joint

The RC-135V/W is the USAF’s standard airborne SIGINT platform. Missions flown by the RC-135s are designated either Burning Wind or Misty Wind.[24] Its sensor suite allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.[25] The mission crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Rivet Joint’s extensive communications suite. The crew consists of the cockpit crew, electronic warfare officers, intelligence operators, and airborne systems maintenance personnel. All Rivet Joint airframe and mission systems modifications are performed by L-3 Communications in Greenville, Texas, under the oversight of the Air Force Materiel Command.[4][25]

All RC-135s are assigned to Air Combat Command. The RC-135 is permanently based at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, and operated by the 55th Wing, using various forward deployment locations worldwide.[25]

Under the “BIG SAFARI” program name, RC-135Vs were upgraded from the RC-135C “Big Team” configuration. RC-135Ws were originally delivered as C-135B transports, and most were modified from RC-135Ms. This is the only difference between the V and W variants; both carry the same mission equipment. For many years, the RC-135V/W could be identified by the four large disc-capped MUCELS antennas forward, four somewhat smaller blade antennae aft and myriad of smaller underside antennas. Baseline 8 Rivet Joints (in the 2000s) introduced the first major change to the external RC-135V/W configuration replacing the MUCELS antennas with plain blade antennas. The configuration of smaller underside antennas was also changed significantly.

Trump’s only capable of two types of speeches:

- Long, aimless, stream-of-consciousness fueled rants that are careen from topic to topic like a junker in a demolition derby, with the ultimate result being not much different in consistency or usefulness. But these sorts of speeches tend to be limited to his rallies, because MAGAts aren’t looking for a well-spoken speech but rather a steady helping of red meat from beginning to end.

- Slow, dull, listless readings of a prepared speech from a teleprompter that could be mistaken for hostage videos. These are the speeches he gives whenever he knows he needs to look “presidential,” though each time he does one he actually makes a mockery of all the jokes wingnuts used to make about how anyone can sound good when reading from a teleprompter as a dig against Obama. This is more likely to be the sort of speech he gives tonight, much as he did last year at the Lincoln Memorial.

“President Trump’s speech tonight at Mount Rushmore will be one of the most important of his presidency. At a time when all of America-its values, its institutions, its history are being challenged by anti-American radicalism this is a key speech in stating the challenge.”

America’s values are being challenged - not by anti-American radicals but by American citizens who do not represent the white, male Christian ruling caste that has played a major role in determining and promoting these values, all of which have led to what we have now: an amoral, corrupt malignant narcissist running our country into ruin…

Currently: 19,452 total cases
Fourteen-day average most cases by county: Douglas (seat Omaha, #1). Panhandle counties Scott’s Bluff (seat Gering) and Morrill (mine, seat Bridgeport) tied for #6 (not good considering the low population of my county)
Largest age group: 20-34
Men lead women in all categories (illness, recovery, hospitalisation, death). This is flipped from the Panhandle, where women lead in all categories 2 to 1.
Deaths: 282

Perhaps GOP-run states are taking their cues from North Korea.

Coronavirus in North Korea: Kim Jong-un claims ‘shining success’ (BBC)

North Korea closed its borders and put thousands into isolation six months ago as the virus swept across the globe.

It claims that it has no virus cases, though analysts say this is unlikely.

Mr Kim is said to have “analysed in detail the six month-long national emergency anti-epidemic work” at a politburo meeting on Thursday. He said the success in handling the virus was “achieved by the far-sighted leadership of the Party Central Committee”.

But he stressed the importance of maintaining “maximum alert without… relaxation on the anti-epidemic front”, adding that the virus was still present in neighbouring countries.

Melbourne is experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases, after Victoria state got them under control.

It turns out the source seems to be the quarantine hotels used by people entering the country.

A report which traced Covid-19’s mutation in Victoria found that hotel staff cases were the “ancestors” of ones found later in suburban homes.

So how did the virus spread? Allegations of blame have been levelled at private security firms contracted to operate the state’s quarantine. Neighbouring New South Wales took a different approach - using the police force.

Victoria has faced accusations of systemic failures such as guards being improperly trained or not given enough PPE.

Mr Andrews has also described cases of illegal socialising between staff, listing examples of workers sharing a cigarette lighter or car-pooling. Local media also reported claims of sex between guards and quarantined travellers.

The government has ordered a judicial inquiry into their quarantine operation and fired the contractors.

Where I grew up we had a co-op telephone company with two party lines. The first number was the number of long rings, the second number was the number of short rings.

In a town emergency, the operator would plug in a whole bank of phones and use a yardstick to ring all the phones with eight short rings.

Later when we got rotary dial service, you could dial four digits to anyone in town. For long distance, you had to give your telephone number to the operator so you could be properly billed (the system ran on a lot of trust).

12 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed by tests in Scotland in the past 24 hours with a single death. There are 670 patients in hospital with 12 of them in intensive care.

There’s a small cluster of “in the wild” cases being tracked down near the border with England, the authorities believe they’ve got in touch with all the affected people and have advised them to self-quarantine for the next fourteen days.

The shouting match between the UK government and the Scottish government continues, centred around the plans for an “air-bridge” for visitors from named countries who won’t have to go through quarantine when they arrive. The list of permitted countries being presented by Westminster keeps changing hour to hour and the Scottish government, having worked hard to get the infection rates and deaths down well below England’s numbers isn’t happy with this shambolic process, especially since the lists are handed down from on high with no substantive discussion from the other nations in the UK allowed.

From this morning’s Mpls. StarTribune

Complaints of evictions in senior care homes up nearly 30% during pandemic

…One resident’s eviction appears to have stemmed from his desire to have someone read his unread mail, according to a state survey.

The resident, who is not identified by name or age, said a volunteer would normally read him his mail because he is blind and because the staff did not have the time to do so. But the volunteer could no longer visit because of COVID-19, causing four or five months of unread mail to accumulate, he said.

The man turned to a friend, who read him his mail from a car in the facility’s front parking lot. The friend was told by a staffer at the front desk that it was OK if he did not go beyond the property, the state report said. But when the resident returned to the building, he was told he was being discharged immediately. His belongings were already on a dolly.

“I had to sit in the chairs, in the front entrance,” the man said, according to the state report. “I sat there all night, into the next morning.”

Finally, at 10 a.m., about 17 hours after he was evicted, the man contacted Metro Mobility, the public transportation service for people with disabilities, and was taken to a Salvation Army facility. Two weeks later, the man was living in a Holiday Inn hotel, the report said.

The resident had underlying health problems, including major depressive disorder, lower back pain and diabetes, in addition to vision loss. Yet he told state investigators that he was not given his medications upon discharge from North Ridge. A nurse disputed this account, though the state’s review of medical records found no evidence that he was given his drugs, the state report said.

“Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure a proper discharge process,” the state Health Department concluded in its survey.

I took the Amtrak from Flagstaff, AZ to Chicago and back. Trip out was amazing: painted Desert at sunrise, crossing the Rockies at sunset, sleeping through the flatlands in time to wake up to cross the Mississippi and then through amazing rolling Illinois farm country.

Trump also doesn’t think that far ahead. He’s not capable of it - he’s more a creature of impulse and takes things day by day, or hour by hour, flying by the seat of his pants. It’s all improv on his part….anything like planning he delegates to his underlings.

Again, if he had been serious about The Wall as more than anything as a talking point and rallying cry, he would have formed a planning commission to prepare design and engineering studies, environmental and legal impact statements and present Congress with a budget and a timetable.

I took the Amtrak from Flagstaff, AZ to Chicago and back. Trip out was amazing: painted Desert at sunrise, crossing the Rockies at sunset, sleeping through the flatlands in time to wake up to cross the Mississippi and then through amazing rolling Illinois farm country.

The trip back was just the opposite and dead boring, missed all the nice scenery and got almost nothing but endless Great Plains.

I had the same (near-) experience many years ago, taking the train from Seattle to Chicago: it was the Amtrak line that ran through the Rockies, and made a stop (?) at Glacier National Park: mountain scenery prominently featured in Amtrak’s advertising. However, the train left Seattle in the evening, and by the time the sun rose next morning, we were well away from the Rockies, and far into the flatlands. And the Great Plains really are PLAIN!

OT tech question: anybody else have problems with the site on Safari/iPad? I have few/no issues on my W10 notebook, but when I use my iPad, I run into chronic loading/reloading/updating issues. But ONLY on LGF: most other sites load OK. I thought it was a distance thing (though in a NY apartment, distance from the router shouldn’t be much of a problem) - but I still had loading issues even when sitting right in front of the AirPort.

Nebraska’s statewide Covid-19 Website has been upgraded to include a lot more information than it had before. It now has breakdowns by ethnic groups, gender, and other data points, such as running fourteen-day averages of new cases by county.

Currently: 19,452 total cases
Fourteen-day average most cases by county: Douglas (seat Omaha, #1). Panhandle counties Scott’s Bluff (seat Gering) and Morrill (mine, seat Bridgeport) tied for #6 (not good considering the low population of my county)
Largest age group: 20-34
Men lead women in all categories (illness, recovery, hospitalisation, death). This is flipped from the Panhandle, where women lead in all categories 2 to 1.
Deaths: 282
Largest age group: 65-74

Looks like Nebraska’s infection rate per capita is higher than California’s. Almost twice as high, in fact.

A scenario for how Trump might try to steal the election. newsweek.com

nope. still won’t happen.

this is the ‘thrown into the house scenario’ based on four and only four specific ‘swing’ states going to biden.

the tipping point analyses right now say biden would win with more than just those four.

as to #2. so what? we have said time and again it is not one ‘national’ election that can be thrown into chaos by dictat/fiat or screaming. prove it on a precinct by precinct level. vague ‘theories’ aint gonna cut it.

it also depends on how much biden actually won each of those 4 swing states. Is Arizona or PA or, whoever really going to admit they dropped the ball and their controls were infiltrated all over the state? not a chance.

long before any ‘federal investigation’, the first thing that happens is recounts. recounting the ballots. verifying the accumulated totals looking for manipulations of the reported results. and when they’re done and biden re-wins by 10 points, no governor, secy of state or legislature is gonna ignore those results.

further, *depending on the state because they are different* while some states allow the legislatures to select electors, that choice must be made before and in lieu of a popular election. ie their own state laws DO NOT allow them to ignore an election they just had and instead choose electors merely because they didnt like the outcome or even call it into question.

I’m mostly worried about two election problems.

1. Voter suppression. This isn’t anything new - R’s have been playing this game for decades, making it harder and harder to vote. Honestly most places this is not an issue (or at least no more than 2018) this year because the states have been too busy with other catastrophes to pass new laws in this vein. The former VRA states which are closing polling places in black communities are the exception.

2. Electoral college advantage - Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. The national polls were one or two points off, but she won by almost three million votes. And Trump was prez because the antiquated, small-state, land-owner-biased constitution scores the election in a way that plays to the Republican party’s strengths. Looking at the maps this year it doesn’t look like a problem… while Biden is ten points ahead. But I bet you can can come up with scenarios where he wins by eight million votes, 5+ percent, but because of the structural advantage Trump somehow slithers out a path to 270 EV.

So I believe there should be some balancing between small and large states in the national government - it does serve some legitimate purposes. But the Senate should be where that happens, not the presidency. Unfortunately it’s not going to be until the reverse situation occurs or there’s a fucking revolution that it’s going to be fixed.

Breakfast cereal was such a racket when the boomer toddlers were all being baby-sat in front of morning TV. All of the kid’s shows and cartoons were sponsored by food manufacturers (the evenings were sponsored by cigarettes and cars) and I know that what I wanted for breakfast was very much driven by what I saw on TV. So many cereals back then actually had the word ‘Sugar’ in their name, and we wanted sugar.

from biden

Invest $20 billion in rural broadband infrastructure, and triple funding to expand broadband access in rural areas. High-speed broadband is essential in the 21st Century economy. Yet far too many rural communities still don’t have access to it. Rural Americans are over 10 times more likely than urban residents to lack quality broadband access. At a time when so many jobs and businesses could be located anywhere, high-speed internet access should be a great economic equalizer for rural America, not another economic disadvantage. Investing $20 billion in rural broadband infrastructure has the potential to create more than a quarter million new jobs. The Biden Plan will triple Community Connect broadband grants and partner with municipal utilities to bring cutting-edge broadband connections to communities across rural America.

I’ve been thinking about what might happen if there is, in fact, a presidential debate.

As a narcissist, trump can’t tolerate any criticism or laying of blame on him. I’d love to see Biden push that button repeatedly, which would guarantee the orange bloat losing it.

Biden should make every remark a put down, a sarcastic dig or statement blaming the SCROTUS for the current situation. He shouldn’t engage with the insults we know rump will produce, just keep pushing that button, over and over.

I realize that Joe will need to lay out a vision for the future and positive reasons to vote for him, but ads can make that argument. Getting rump to lose it and start raging and ranting during the debate might just help people see how morally, intellectually and emotionally unfit he is for the office, at least some who don’t pay attention.

I’d also love to see Biden flat out call rump a liar and con man, but I doubt that will happen. On the other hand, pointing out that only 3 miles of new wall has been constructed, that the economy is in the dumpster, that unemployment is far above the level at the start of the term, that over a hundred thousand Americans have died due to his incompetence, etc. will put rump on the defensive where it really hurts.

Donald, tell us how destroying the strong economy you inherited from our administration makes America great? Donald, tell us how your response to COVID, a response which has other countries saying they pity the US and which has resulted in over a hundred thousand dead makes America great?

I’d wager his response would be a spectacular eruption of bile, name calling, DARVO and blaming others. And he’d be unable to continue after, refusing to let go of the narcissistic injury.

I agree it will be a shitshow. But unlike the earlier debates, rump now has a record to defend. And it’s indefensible. So when he lies about his administration doing more than any previous administration, he’s open to comments like “that’s true, no previous administration has killed so many Americans”, etc. And “I take no responsibility” isn’t able to handle that.

Sadly, Democrats seem to lack the spine to really push back. But in this case, when they go low we need to respond in kind.

That Orion Township in Michigan with the white woman drew out her weapon against a black woman and her two daughters?

It’s not going very well for them….

A Clarkston couple was charged Thursday with felonious assault, a day after two racially-charged videos of the same incident clearly show a white woman pointing a gun at a Black mother and her two daughters outside an Orion Township eatery.

Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, were each charged with one count of felonious assault, which is punishable by up to four years in prison. They were arraigned in 52-3 District Court before Magistrate Marie Soma, with a $50,000 personal bond.

Eric Wuestenberg, who is identified on the Oakland University website as a veterans support services coordinator, also was fired.

“We have seen the video and we deem his behavior unacceptable,” university spokesman Brian Bierley said, adding he “has been notified that his employment has been terminated.”

So, how many places in the US have four or more different high speed internet companies available. Not just rural areas, but big cities. (High speed — greater than 100mbit/s, no ADSL need apply). Is it really just geography?

But, we do get Netflix and Amazon Prime, so it’s not all bad.

Narrator: Amazon Prime is all bad.

(PS: That “strategy for connecting every home to the internet”? It’s called capitalism. Works great in capitalist countries like France. Not so good in monopolistic countries like the US).

I’m old enough to know that the internet can be used for multiple purposes, kind of like how the printing press allowed both knowledge and propaganda to spread. I’ve been learning to play bass and do machine learning online. My son has been learning to use his midi software online. The more bandwidth would allow virtual classrooms to function easier.

he may not change but the dynamics might

2016 he ran against a woman - oh, he knows how to channel misogyny.
and clinton came saddled with 30 years of manufactured hate - trump is very good at pointing out and helping people hate stuff they already do

enter biden
misogyny is out
biden is mostly likeable even if you dont like his politics.
plus he’s a bit more politically savvy than clinton was

Mm. In morning results, Florida jitters down a tick, Arizona with a huge jump. I’m genuinely scared for Arizona, the way that state is laid out means that the entire spike is all concentrated in one place and they’re headed towards hospital saturation super fast.

My home state of Indiana has its highest day in two weeks but it’s not a real trend yet - we’ve been basically flat for 2+ months jittering in the 300-500/day range. My local county had a bad spike which has cooled some in the last week.

I’m expecting national numbers in the mid-50s today, then things will go fully wiggy around the holiday weekend and we’ll only know where we are properly around next Wednesday.

As part of the bond conditions, the Wuestenbergs must turn over all their firearms, not assault anyone, and may not leave the state.

So their bond conditions stipulate that they may not “assault anyone”. Surely this is an egregious limitation of their freedum?

Morning/Afternoon Lizardim from the boiling hot wild north country. It’s going to be a real scorcher of a weekend up here, with highs above 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) for the whole weekend. Hopefully the thunderstorms moving in later in the weekend will cool things down a bit. Minnesota is still sustaining their 3-4% new positive percentage, which is a good number but it’s greater than 0. It’s mostly younger people, with the majority of cases in the 20-29 age bracket; stupid young conservatives who think they’re indestructible and don’t realize they can carry and spread the disease before they have symptoms. How go things among the lizardfolk on this holiday Friday?

re: #336 A Cranky One

I agree it will be a shitshow. But unlike the earlier debates, rump now has a record to defend. And it’s indefensible. So when he lies about his administration doing more than any previous administration, he’s open to comments like “that’s true, no previous administration has killed so many Americans”, etc. And “I take no responsibility” isn’t able to handle that.

Sadly, Democrats seem to lack the spine to really push back. But in this case, when they go low we need to respond in kind.

Trump honed his debating style during his 2016 primary debates, until he decided he was bored with them and determined their emphasis on answering questions was not playing to his base. He will continue to pull the same stunt — ignoring the real questions, blaming both the pandemic and the economic collapse on the Chinese, and (if the stock market retains its buoyancy thanks to the Fed) take credit for the continuing strength of the market. He will pivot to attacking Biden for Hunter’s involvement with Ukraine and lie about his successes.

After repeatedly promising to release his taxes and failing to do so, he has learned that he can say and do as he pleases and, somehow, his base goes along with the theory that any bad news is due to the “Deep State” undermining him. How does a moderator force a participant to answer a question when the candidate’s goal is only to promulgate his campaign message and turn every answer into promoting that message even when it has no ties to the actual question?

And what about the poor guns? Will nobody think of their plight?

Seriously, these were so called “responsible” gun owners with valid conceal carry permits. And anger issues. Sigh.

Let’s just hope they lose the right to own firearms ever again.

And to your original question, if they refuse to wear masks during the pandemic, can that be considered assault? Heh.

Many readers have asked me “why do so many pulp covers feature women in ripped red blouses standing in swamps while a man fights off an unusual animal attack?”

The answer is pulp artist Will Hulsey… pic.twitter.com/CswL04cTQb

More behind the clicky

Click to Reveal

Very little is known about Will Hulsey, but he worked on a number of men’s pulp magazines in the 1950s and early 1960s including Man’s Life, True Men, Guilty, Trapped and Peril. pic.twitter.com/u6qD2LA5nl

— Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) June 10, 2020

As a result the 1950s saw a raft of men’s pulp magazines being published to tap into this market - almost 200 different titles! pic.twitter.com/ptUH3yUeTD

— Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) June 10, 2020

But painting magazine covers is hard work, especially at speed, so many artists worked to a formula - often set out by the publisher. Will Hulsey certainly perfected his. pic.twitter.com/eBIFll5y0L

— Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) June 10, 2020

Next there would be a woman in a button-popping ripped red blouse. Bright red, like bright yellow, is a stand-out colour which is eye-catching on a cover - especially if you’re not sure how the blouse is staying on. pic.twitter.com/pTAv6HxQKO

— Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) June 10, 2020

There is a huge amount of male masochism in 1950s and early 60s pulp covers: men are trapped or bound, being flogged, eaten or bitten. The message seems to be ‘real men can take it - and live to tell the tale!’ pic.twitter.com/wymSJTfTHI

— Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) June 10, 2020

By 1973 the men’s pulp magazine market was almost out of business: softcore titillation and physical fitness magazines were selling far more copies, and the days of the painted pulp cover were over. pic.twitter.com/TId7rJTdPT

Which is why I think Biden’s best approach is to create narcissistic injury by directly blaming rump. I believe that will push rump over the top and he’ll lose it. Put him off his game. I liked the previous comment that Biden should laugh and dismiss rump’s statements; being laughed at would definitely trigger a rage response, as would blaming rump for the problems he’s created.

Rump is a bully. Push back, taunt and show him for the weak, shallow coward he is.

Hot outside, so my walk was fairly short.

Foot is feeling better from earlier in the week. Using a cane to ease the pressure a bit, but some walking on it seems to be helping with circulation and getting the inflammation to go down. Keeping that leg elevated when resting in any case.

Floof Cat seems to be settling in as only cat. Generally hangs out in whatever room I’m in and climbs into my lap when she wants some particular attention or to take a short nap until she gets too warm.
