Carol Joan Spitler McAdams House, age 89, of Mesa, AZ, passed away Wednesday, February 14, 2024, in Sun Lakes, AZ.

She was born in Eldorado, Ohio, and moved to Mesa, Arizona in 1947 from Lewisburg, Ohio for her mother's health. The family then lived on a farm at Higley & Southern in Mesa. Carol played saxophone in her high school marching band and was very involved in community and church. She graduated from Mesa High School in 1952 and traveled by train that Fall to Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC, where she completed a business course of studies in Finance & Accounting in 1953. She worked for Brown & Hoeye Chevrolet for many years as a bookkeeper/finance analyst/office manager.

Carol's first marriage was to Maynard L. McAdams. Through her work life at General Motors, and a later 2nd chance for marriage, Carol married William E. "Bill" House in 1974. They shared 38 wonderful years together square-dancing, playing tennis, RV camping, playing cribbage and cards, traveling internationally, volunteering for charities dear to them, being involved in their church life, and loving their families.

She is survived by her sons, Dennis (Gail) McAdams, Dana (Susan) McAdams, two step-daughters, Terrie (Joe) White and Tina Silverman; her grandchildren Savannah (Philip) Dodd; Joel McAdams, great-grandchildren Carson, Zoey and Macie Dodd; and her sister Sharon (Tom) Lewis, and brother Ronald E (Lane) Spitler, along with many nieces, nephews and generations to come.

Protecting Suboxone (Respiradone)

In the 1960s, waves of a new revolution were sweeping over Los Angeles.

The 1950s saw the takeover of Los Angeles, by the Foreign Office, MI-6, on the diamond bet between Hughes and Nimitz, Charlebois and MacArthur.

A straight Marine, "Gay Ray", and a gay general, "General Doug".

It was either the Yakuza's Japan, an entire nation of textbooks voting for Adolf Hitler, or a movie fan audience under DARE, gateway drug theory.

Hiroshima happened, Home Depot and the Hayes family came, and now the chiseler wrench, was the screw wrench.

Ray won, with his sword tattoo on a globe, reading "Avid Lamsa", Greedy Fly. Not "Semper Fi", China Town.

An elite RTS counselor, Charles Manson, had been force requisitioned through the Los Angeles Police Department, for MI-6; the architect of the Vietnam War, for Senator Kennedy.

They took his cock and balls, while he was trying to free Sharon Tate from Jewish psychiatric ardour; taken off the streets, for smoking a beedy, a cigarette in rolling paper, not marijuana, and having been induced to suck off Roman Polanski in his sleep, hypoxia; a conversion to Islam, invented by Aisha, the Jewess.

An underage girl, tormenting a marijuana dealer, Muhammad, into obscene rages, at why everyone thought he was living with an underage girl whose parents had given her marijuana.

But Charles Manson, had lost his erection, to modern pharmaceuticals.

Even Charlie and Sharon working together, to print "Frank Zappa", her lyrics, and his comic writing, "Batman 1966", based on Superman's logic, could not save the pair, at love at longest sight.

The Los Angeles Police Department was cracking down, so they sent Kennedy's elite soldier, ZODIAC, "Willie the Pimp" in Frank Zappa's music; "Bobby McGee", of Janis Joplin fame, Steve Charlebois, the special monitor on the situation deployed by "Gay Ray", his father.

Steven Charlebois had to suck the Sheriff's dick, John Wayne Gacy Jr., coming back home.

But little victories are rare, in law enforcement; however, in intelligence, they are guaranteed.

The Saud Malay connection, under USMC terms, had been severed, defeating Adolf Hitler forever, leading to decades of detention slips and military intelligence soldiers, Adolf Hitler swiftly kicked on his boot on his car, from America and his "wheel", the Ace Five straight.

In 2003, Megan Dalee, a Hopkinton Highschool graduate, had developed "Suboxone"; a cover, as Fentanyl or heroin poisoning as a recovery, actually "Respiradone"; rumored to be chemical castration.

Emancipated from her parents, with the new invention, a potato needle, the erection and semen were sustained, however amphetamines damage to the male fixation was undone, and the same product staple through her patents degree, remained on the product.

But that's the new story, of "Chet".

Where did "Mini-Peebo" go, your old friend, "Quinton Reed"?

We had to scramble dozens of MI-6 Mossad operatives, hunting Megan Dalee, emancipated from her parents for the service contract for Respiradone.

Hunkered down, inside her little Orchard Hill dormitory room, at UMass-Amherst, with Jewish patent thieves out of England and the Anglicans, trying to seize her, for a prostitution's debt, to control the patent outside her law degree.

Naturally, David Charlebois, had to take action.

"Affirmative Blacktion".

David Charlebois, a Nazi, knew when the white man had betrayed him; it was time to take his secret weapon out, "Gay Niggers From Outer Space".

It was time to elect Barack Obama, and eliminate Scott Peterson's police selection, and the Coen Brothers, the Nutsies, Adolf Hitler.

And so it he did, with Rich Coughlin, Jenna Williamson, Brian Monaghan, Daniel Cheeseman, Joshua Moen, Andrew Donson, Ryan Cunningham, Chris Sweeney, Justin Walsh, Ivan Tomasic, Matthew Lennox, Allison Haimes, and Nicholas Maynard, wiped off the ground.

When he got his Medal of Honor, he was ordered to report the proper condition of any American spy, "paranoid schizophrenia".

He had seen a house wife, on time share, "a Nun".

And as for "The Beans", the cigarettes, he wanted to get back home for them regularly. If the Medal of Honor, got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, an American spy (hospital, not corrections), it would all be reversed, and pot bust pimping would return.

The Yakuza.

Finding your feet in the internship: induction, and completing initial tasks.

At Sports Entertainment Network, my initial role was as a digital content and video assistant. These roles stemmed from anything editing in video, but I also had the opportunity to complete other tasks such as writing articles. In my first few shifts, I was taught the task of clipping up radio segments and discussions into shorter videos for sharing on all social media platforms. For example, I would get in at 9am and go through the SEN Breakfast producer notes and clip up any important conversations that I believed were of note and cut them into short 2min clips.

At first, I had to learn the editing procedure that was required, and with the help of Jack I was able to get a hold of it fairly quickly. Most of the tools and ways in which they wanted it to be done was already set up in Premiere Pro, so all I had to do was drag in the vision and audio and find the in and out points of the conversation. The next step was to do it as quickly as possible, so the number of clips that could be posted was increased and able to be scheduled throughout the day. My biggest learning curve with that task was actually determining what was a comment or conversation worth clipping up. Over the period of a 3 hour show for instance, there is a lot of things that say Kane Cornes or Nathan Buckley would talk about, and figuring out the best things to clip that would likely get a lot of traction on social media was what I needed to figure out.

I was also asked to broaden my skillset and have a go at writing a small piece for publishing on their website. This is something that I know I can always improve, as I haven’t practiced it as much as my editing skills over the years. I gave it a go and wrote a small article about a contentious decision in a match from the previous night between Collingwood and Geelong. Knowing it was about Collingwood and Brayden Maynard, it gained quite a lot of traction on socials, and it was cool to see something I wrote about be so topical with the fans. This was a good experience for me to further my writing skills for the future.

At Tennis Victoria, my initial task was to take over the videoing and editing of their weekly State Grade Show. As Steph – who was previously responsible – was going on leave, it was a great opportunity for me to step right in to the deep end and put my current skills into practice. Every Tuesday we would go find a location for filming, then I would come back and edit the final product for it to be posted later that day. It was fun learning and experiencing what was close to a full producer type role.

This wouldn't have been possible without the preparation that was given to us by Holmesglen before the internships took place. The unit "Transition into Professional Practice" taught by Sharon was greatly beneficial to me and all students. "Students and supervisors would benefit from more formal preparation or training prior to the start of an internship." (Zehr and Korte, 2020).

“IN THE ANNALS OF ROCK HISTORY, Chinese Democracy is a punchline and a cautionary tale. Guns N’ Roses spent more than 14 years working on it. At the beginning of the process, they were still arguably the biggest rock band in the world. By the end, they were Axl Rose fronting a collection of musicians who could’ve staffed a rock & roll fantasy camp.

Much of the band’s core when they began making the album — Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke — either quit or were fired (or both) along the way. New members reportedly had to be approved by Rose’s spiritual adviser, an aura-reading psychic from Sedona named Sharon Maynard, who was often referred to as “Yoda.” At various points, the band’s lineup included ex-members of Nine Inch Nails, Primus, the Replacements, Devo, and the Psychedelic Furs. The list of musicians who auditioned, contributed, or visited the sessions includes Dave Navarro, Brian May, Sebastian Bach, Moby, and Shaquille O’Neal.

You could write an entire book about the tenure of avant-garde guitarist Buckethead, who communicated with bandmates through a hand puppet, and for whom a chicken coop was constructed in the studio, where, according to Zutaut, the guitarist would record his parts and watch porn. Zutaut also once claimed that, after Rose’s wolf puppy took a shit in said chicken coop, Buckethead resisted efforts to clean it up, claiming he loved the smell.

The entire project wasn’t only time consuming, it was wildly expensive, with costs reportedly running to a quarter of a million dollars per month at some stages, and a final tab of at least $13 million. The protracted recording process was a function of, among other things, Rose’s desperate effort to match the sound coming out of the speakers to the sound in his head. A less charitable reading was that he’d simply lost the plot, and without a strong creative counterweight — someone like Slash or Duff who was equally invested in the outcome — there was nobody to help him find it.

(…)

Within the insular confines of the GN’R fan community, though, there were devotees like Dunsford and Madeline, for whom Chinese Democracy wasn’t an embarrassing bomb from a megalomaniac who’d alienated his most important collaborators. It was an overlooked magnum opus by a misunderstood genius. If GN’R’s early albums bottled a certain amount of anti-social rebellion, Chinese Democracy represents a kind of counterrevolution, in which its relative unpopularity has only intensified the passion of its adherents.

Madeline told me that for years on GN’R forums, “85 to 95 percent of fans wanted nothing to do with Guns N’ Roses unless it was discussing the old lineup. Then you have people like me — we call ourselves five-percenters. All we cared about was Chinese Democracy.”

(…)

Amid this void, the less-dedicated fans lost interest, leaving a hardcore group who feasted on any scraps of information they could scrounge. Every paparazzi photo of Rose would be studied for clues to his mind state. Fans would discuss a stray quote from a band member with the dedication of Talmudic scholars.

This sense of scarcity was foundational to the fan community. Anyone with access to new music or information — or anyone perceived to — has cachet. Unreleased music is the most prized of all currencies.

GN’R fans who manage to procure unreleased tracks, or even snippets of them, fall into two basic categories: hoarders and leakers. Hoarders keep whatever they find for themselves or share only with a handful of trusted friends. Leakers distribute it to the rest of the fans. Within the community, hoarders are both despised and venerated. They’re viewed as anti-democratic elitists, but they’re insiders with something everyone wants. On occasion, a hoarder may sell unreleased material or trade it — and some make real money doing this — but they intuitively understand the scarcity principle. If they distribute music widely, it not only puts them at risk legally, it also erases the music’s value and endangers their heightened status.

(…)

By the time of Chinese Democracy’s official release, most of its songs had already leaked, occasionally in dramatic fashion — including one, bizarrely, when then-New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza brought a CD-R of unreleased songs to Eddie Trunk’s radio show. The album’s anti-climactic arrival fed the fans’ thirst for more music. Suggestions from Rose and others that the album was intended as part of a trilogy, and that there was enough music to fill several albums, convinced some fans there was a lost classic just gathering dust in the band’s vault.

In light of this, many fans have come to resent GN’R’s secrecy and stinginess with new music. “The band should’ve figured out a way to manage their community online in a more positive way, instead of keeping them in the dark for so many years,” says Kooluris. “They’ve created all these monsters who just want to pillage, steal, and grab whatever they can get because they don’t feel like they’ve ever been appreciated by the band.… It’s like Stockholm syndrome. They’re chained up in the basement, they haven’t been outside for years, so they act in unhealthy ways.

“It’s more than the music,” he continues. “These people are looking for belonging.… But these guys invest so much that it distracts them from being happy. Because you’re not going to be happy if you’re all in on GN’R.”

(…)

The studio was Village Recorder, the legendary birthplace of Steely Dan’s Aja, Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk, and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. GN’R moved their base of operations there in 2000. Nineteen of the CD-Rs Bird found in the locker were rough mixes from the 2000-01 Village sessions. They included complete songs, instrumentals, rehearsals, and alternate versions of previously released material. The sessions were legendary among fans. Nothing had ever leaked from them. This, they believed, was where they’d find their lost classic.

(…)

Fans have now been waiting nearly as long for a Chinese Democracy follow-up as they waited for Chinese Democracy. Whispers swirl about the imminent arrival of a new full-length culled from this batch of leaked material. But is this stuff any good?

Within the GN’R community, views diverge. “There’s plenty of material that could really be a legendary album,” says Dunsford. Kooluris is less sanguine: “These fans think Axl’s got another ‘Paradise City’ or ‘November Rain’ in the vault, and he fucking doesn’t.” There’s widespread enthusiasm for the raw, guitar-driven “Hard Skool,” which was released as a single in 2021 and hearkens back to pre-Chinese Democracy GN’R. It’s a particular curiosity because many fans interpret the lyrics (“You had to play it cool, had to do it your way/Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away”) as a shot at Slash, who rejoined the band with Duff in 2016, and ultimately contributed guitar parts to the finished song.

Many of the leaked songs aren’t hard to find online. Listening to them, it’s easy to convince yourself that with a little polish, “Atlas Shrugged,” the tense, dramatic “Perhaps,” and “State of Grace,” an industrial-tinged midtempo creeper, could’ve anchored another classic GN’R album. Other tracks feel half-baked. But judging these songs based on rough mixes feels unfair. Exploring ideas that never get fully fleshed out and trying things that don’t succeed is how the creative process is supposed to work. This, of course, underscores the moral argument against leaking unreleased music. “Ultimately, there’s only one truth,” says Kooluris. “It’s stolen music. These guys try to rationalize it, but it’s not theirs.”

(…)

One of his long-running motivations around leaking music has been to stick it to “the hoarding putzes,” though he recognizes the biggest hoarder of all is Rose himself. “He doesn’t owe anybody anything, but sometimes he teases like he’s going to do something, then nothing happens, and people get frustrated,” Craig says. “It’s almost like drug addicts.… You’re so desperate for a fix you’ll do things not within the norm to get your fix. All these kids are acting like they’re members of a spy ring.… You don’t see that with Metallica or Faith No More.”

(…)

Being a music fan has changed a lot in the past 20 years. Collecting an artist’s every release was once the sign of a true die-hard. Now, we all have that for nearly every artist in existence for the price of a monthly subscription fee.

So, in this time of instant access and overwhelming abundance, what defines real fandom? How do you prove it? Well, if you’re Rick Dunsford, you do whatever it takes to get your hands on the music nobody else has. When being a fan is easy, you do what’s hard. These GN’R fans — not just Dunsford, but the whole collection of crazies — understand that.”

“This, in the Year Punk Broke A.D., was months before Nevermind, and a year before Kurt Cobain, on the exact same journey as GN’R, rocked a “Corporate Magazines Still Suck” T-shit on Rolling Stone’s cover. But even as grunge and punk revivalism supposedly unseated mainstream rock in the Nineties (or so the myth goes), Guns N’ Roses, who’d been covering punk groups the U.K. Subs and the Misfits for years, were playing in stadiums alongside Metallica (another band that covered the Misfits, as well as punks Fang years before Nirvana). Mainstream rock, with all its primordial influences, was still bigger than ever and would remain so for at least a couple more years. This box set, memorializing the 30th anniversary of Guns N’ Roses’ overwhelming and intimidating Use Your Illusion albums — arriving, in true GN’R fashion, a year late — presents some interesting alternate facts for the alternative explosion.

(…)

The albums, in hindsight, present the paradox of a band of outsiders who have become the biggest band on the planet but still want to be rebels (see also: Neil Young’s fable of Johnny Rotten, and Kurt Cobain’s fable of Kurt Cobain). It’s a portrait of an identity crisis and it eventually tore them apart. But at the time, they rose to the challenge and reaped the rewards, even if by all accounts the Use Your Illusion albums are still Too Much Music.

(…)

By this point, the band had been called up from the streets and had risen to the occasion. They were still working together, and, gosh, maybe even liked each other. Three decades since their release, we know understand how the Use Your Illusion albums represented the most of what they could do, and they secured their legend. If they had called it quits completely after the tour, like the Police did after Synchronicity, and avoided all the nasty press digs, it could have been a clean break and we probably still would have gotten Chinese Democracy. But Use Your Illusion was a testament to their determination, which is still their driving force. Not grunge, not Spin, not good taste (or even bad taste) could hold them back then or now. This is a portrait of the kings of the jungle.”

As before, please let me know if some if you see a misspelled name or a name that shouldn’t be there or don’t see a name that should be there. I will take your input and do some research and update it as needed!

Swingrowers - Dreamland (Official Music Promo) Electro Swing

Freshly Squeezed

DREAMLAND from SWINGROWERS is the first single since their widely acclaimed (and album-charting) 3rd album OUTSIDEIN (2018). Known for their official #electroswing remixes of Caro Emerald, Millie Smalls (MY BOY LOLLIPOP) and Jamie Berry, their constant touring alongside the likes of Caravan Palace, Deluxe and Parov Stelar or their advert soundtracks for Buitoni pasta and Peroni, the SWINGROWERS are one of the true pioneers to have emerged from the Electro Swing scene. While OUTSIDEIN cemented their reputation for consistently high quality and genre-evolving music, DREAMLAND, the single and the full-on black and white swing dance video, is the first to totally embrace the influence of vintage style on their sound. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it. Listen to the new single here: http://www.linkpagebuddy.com/page.php... Or Bandcamp: https://swingrowers.bandcamp.com/trac...
