Waves of Fury to Release “Thirst” Through Alive Records on October 30, 2012 – Breaking Music News
FREE MP3 of “These Things I Leave You” HERE
“They have found a way to reconcile their twin passions: Stooges and Stax, garage and soul, rock’n’roll’s trash aesthetic and the exuberance and jubilation of old-style R&B.” – The Guardian
‘Thirst’ is the debut album from Somerset based Waves Of Fury. Having already made an excellent early impression with taster single ‘Businessman’s Guide To Witchcraft’, earning them a Guardian New Band Of The Day & Q Track Of The Day in the process, this 10 track debut long player sees Carter Sharp (vocals), Bim Williams (horns), Fil Ward (guitars/vocals), James Macphee (drums) and Jamie Bird (pianos/vocals) take up the rhythm & blues blueprint and filter it through a 40+ year historical path that encompasses everything from Motown & Stax to The Stooges, Sex Pistols, Spiritualized & The Mary Chain. It’s a sonic blast of an album, and a welcome breath of fresh air.
Not Just A Walk In The Park: Two Men Complete First-Ever Trek Around Death Valley National Park – Shocking NEWS
This month, extreme endurance athlete Marshall Ulrich and firefighter Dave Heckman finished an unprecedented expedition, going on foot around the perimeter of Death Valley National Park during the hottest part of summer, completely unaided and unassisted. They began on July 22 and concluded 16 days later on August 7.
While others have trekked in this area, no one has attempted to circumnavigate the park, and certainly not during the height of summer when the threat of dehydration and heat stroke are dire. To grasp the gravity of this, consider that on the same day Ulrich and Heckman finished their trek, another accomplished ultrarunner died in Death Valley after just a few hours under the blazing sun.
To survive the scorching 120°+ temperatures and be self-sufficient even as they moved through remote areas, crossed six mountain ranges with a total of about 40,000 feet of elevation gain, and covered approximately 425 miles, the men had buried water, food, and supplies along their route two months earlier. Nearly all of the 37 caches were intact; in one, the water had leaked out, and a few were invaded by insects, but none of this created a shortage and they had enough water and food to sustain them throughout the journey.

Rickie Lee Jones – Ben Harper Go ACOUSTIC & Amaze the Crowd – Concert Review
By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
Photo Credit: Myriam Santos
Last night at the Wolftrap Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia, I attended a concert with a buddy of mine named Lisa who turned me on to singer, Ben Harper, several months ago. In front of what appeared to be a sold out crowd, Ben’s opening act was Rickie Lee Jones who walked on to center stage in a long black dress, sat down and delivered vocals throughout her set that put me in the mindset of Stevie Nicks in her vocal prowess, and Billie Holiday in her delivery of the songs. Needless to say, I was very impressed. In fact, I would like to see Rickie in an even smaller setting because she has that (I am singing to just you type of delivery) which in very small venues, you can really take it in.

We Can’t Change Our Past But We Have The Power To Determine Our Future – BOOK NEWS
All too many of us create an outer persona or “ego self” in order to cope with the fear and anxiety of day to day life. This false identity normalizes these intense emotions, stops us from feeling anything at all, and drives us toward artificial goals of financial status and success. No one understands this better than Gregory Nicholas Malouf, a successful businessman and entrepreneur who became a workaholic at 19, earning triple figures each week, and throwing lavish parties and traveling around the world. He thought he was living the ‘perfect life’ until at age 50, his world collapsed and he realized he was living a lie.
Malouf suffered from anxiety and obsessive control disorder; two of the many addictions that had ruled his life because he had not been able to confront the truth of his past. When he wrote Silent: The Power of Silence (Morgan James Publishing) and founded Epsilon Healing Academy, he did so for those who believe what he needed to believe – YOU can release yourself from overwhelming and consuming life burdens, and YOU can access that which you truly desire and live the life you deserve.

During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire.

What’s More Important In A Relationship: Being Right Or Being Loved? – Breaking BOOK NEWS
Everyone has certain areas of life that don’t work. These areas of life may seem to be the problem, but they’re not, says author Bill Ferguson. They are symptoms of something deeper. The moment you resolve this deeper, underlying condition, these areas of life begin to clear up. As a best-selling author of several books on life and relationships, Bill has been called “The Love Doctor.” His most recent book is Get Your Power Back.
“When an area of life isn’t working, there is something under the surface that is creating the problem,” Bill explains. “This condition makes us defensive. It destroys love and takes away our power. It creates a state of fear, upset and tunnel vision. It destroys our ability to find solutions and it forces us to act in a way that actually magnifies the problem.”
Every relationship and every area of life that doesn’t work can be traced to this underlying condition. “Fortunately, this condition can be found and removed. The moment this happens, you restore your ability to see clearly. Solutions appear and this area of life begins to clear up.”
In his profound, yet easy-to-understand book, Get Your Power Back, Bill Ferguson shows step-by-step how to find and remove the destructive, underlying conditions that destroy love and sabotage our lives. The result is more love, more peace and a much more enjoyable, productive life.

PIGLAND – Sucking Up for Traffic
“When you can find something like Pigland, exploit it and tell the people what they want to hear, even if it means sucking the knob of their man crush.” — Pigman
You say “we” don’t want you in Pigland anymore, as if you speak for the thousands and thousands of people that go there. You are a part of a small minority of people in Pigland that may not want me there, and that’s ok. I learned a long time ago that you can’t, and won’t please everyone. How old are you? Because it’s usually a juvenile that calls people “fat”. I happen to have a medical condition that I deal with every day that contributes to my weight gain. It’s a situation that I deal with every day, but for an adult to resort to the “fat” insults is a bit concerning. Oh you bring up my country, and what kind of an American I am? Have you served your country? What proud service have you given your country? Don’t you dare come at me with that shit.. you know?
