Dust Volume 6, Number 6

Whatever happens, Bobby Conn will always be fabulous

Greetings from the never-ending sameness! It must be Friday since we’re doing a Dust, but we are not exactly sure which Friday and, indeed, which day of the week comes after that. We have not had a haircut in a while, and we’re wearing the most comfortable, least fashionable things we own, but we have not quite given up, because, you see, we’re still listening to music. Here are short missives from our respective quarantines, covering experimental psych, fey orchestral pop, slow rolling sine waves, disco-glittering satire, solitary black metal and assorted other musical manifestations. Contributors included Bill Meyer, Andrew Forell, Jennifer Kelly, Jonathan Shaw and Michael Rosenstein.

Eric Arn & Jasmine Pender — Hydromancy (Feeding Tube)

hydromancy by eric arn & jasmine pender

Hydromancy is the ancient practice of divining the gods’ intentions by staring for long periods into a pool of water. Eric Arn, an American guitarist who has been based in Austria for the last decade and a half, seems to have picked up at least one message from the cosmos, and he is acting upon it. Feeding Tube Records is his home. Hydromancy is his third release on the label, and like its two predecessors, it carves out a unique zone within a large and ever-spreading field of inquiry. Arn’s spent time playing psychedelic rock, free improvisation and solo acoustic explorations, and worked with players from Texas, New England and Vienna. This time he’s partnered with an English cellist, Jasmine Pender, on two side-long ponderances of resonance. The title is apt; the musicians seem to be regarding the surface of their sound, first letting ripples and reflections guide them, but ultimately peering beneath the surface into darker, persistent currents.

ARTHUR — Hair of the Dog (Honeymoon)

youtube

On his sophomore album, Philadelphia songwriter ARTHUR disguises ruminations on addiction, anxiety, pain and paranoia in summery cloaks of experimental pop. The combination of whimsy and woe is nothing new, but it’s a fine balance. In Hair of the Dog, complex arrangements surround naïve-sounding melodies, hinting at inner turmoil.

The album incorporates whispers of disco in “No Tengo,” a low key Caleb Giles rap interlude on “Something Sweet,” swinging 1960s horns on “William Penn Island” and a choir of children on “You Are Mine.” The magpie eclecticism holds together beneath a voice that can err on the side of mannered. It is most effective when direct and unadorned as on “Simple Song” where a woozy waltz and detuned guitar bridge underline the poignancy of the lyrics: “In a couple of years/You lose a couple of friends/You lose yourself and you start over again/I don’t have patience/All that I know is addiction.” There is a lot to like here even if at times ARTHUR treads too hard on the path of whimsy.

Gaudenz Badrutt — Ganglions (Aussenraum)

Ganglions by Gaudenz Badrutt

“Connect” is the not the first words that 2020 is going to wear out, but it’s in the running. Veteran Swiss electronic musician Gudenz Badrutt could not have foreseen the present situation when he was making this LP, but it speaks to at least one aspect of it. Perhaps the barrages of commercials dropping the word “connect” by corporations interested in currying your subconscious good will has you pondering the networks by which that state is accomplished and sustained. Badrutt’s music is assembled from sine waves and feedback systems, which he layers and interrupts to make sound that flickers and surges like an audio rendering of your nervous system in various states of load-carrying and overload. Listen closely, and you can ponder your place within the system. But if you’re sick of thinking, feeling, and awareness, turn this shit up and it will blot out whatever offends you.

Nat Baldwin — Autonomia I: Body Without Organs (Shinkoyo)

AUTONOMIA I: Body Without Organs by Nat Baldwin

Nat Baldwin is a published novelist as well as a singer and double bassist with several solo records and a long-time stint is a member of the Dirty Projectors on his cv. His versatility does not come at the expense of focus; indeed, Autonomia I (so named because there’s a second, cassette-only volume) show that he knows how to get a lot out of a particular idea. This LP was inspired by a broken bow, which he employs (sometimes in concert with an intact one) on five of the LP’s seven tracks. When one of your tools is unreliable, you have to be ready to scramble, and there are moments when it sounds like he’s trying to recover from or get ahead of his implement’s waywardness. But those also sound like moments of opportunity; whether he’s exploring rattle of a loose part against his bass’s body or using that bow to obtain non-prescribed tensions from his strings, he organizes his instrument’s unusual sounds into quick-moving, provocatively shaped constellations of sound.

Bonifrate—Mundo Encoberto (Self-released)

Mundo Encoberto by Bonifrate

Pedro Bonifrate is one-half of the Brazilian psych outfit Guaxe, this solo album (according to Google translate “overcast world”) springs from the same trippy, laid-back but multi-instrumented roots. Lush like the rainforest that surrounds him, playful and full of bright colors, this eight-part composition unfolds in the manner of a particularly vivid dream. “Parte 1” mutates freely over its 11 minute duration, stirring to life in a rush of strings, slipping into beach-y mildly hallucinogenic balladry, trying on a bit of Syd Barret-ish whimsy, crescendoing in clangorous guitar overload. Hard to say if Bonifrate played all the instruments, but the album has an idiosyncratic euphoria, as if it were lifted in one piece from the vivid contours of one person’s mushroom trip.

Bobby Conn — Recovery (Tapete)

youtube

“It’s a disaster, the one we’ve been waiting for for years, and now we get to see how this thing ends,” croons the one-and-only Bobby Conn in his glam-shuddering, disco-sleek tenor, and sure, 2020 in a nutshell, got it in one, congrats! Who’d have thought that Conn’s arch, satiric performance art could be a form of comfort here at the end of the world? Who’s have supposed his stylized excesses would seem not an iota too much? Conn, as ever, is sharp and topical, pondering all the oppressed sub-groups left out of the “Good Old Days,” (against a swaggering Phil Spector beat), mourning the xxx-rated theaters put out of business by Pornhub in “Bijou,” skewering big data’s intrusions in the synth-operatic glories of “Disposable Future.” But what’s always separated Conn from mere satirists is the elaborate, over-the-top quality of the music he makes. “Recovery” with its scatted bassline, its frenetic syncopation, its funk precision—it all works as music way before you start to chuckle at the lyrics. Conn is as much a character in the long-running graphic novel that plays in his head as a bandleader, but don’t underestimate the bandleader. There’s art underneath all that eyeliner.

Curanderos — Raven’s Head (Null Zøne)

Raven's Head by Curanderos

If you’re looking for something to cure what ails you in these uncertain times, Raven’s Head might be your balm. You won’t need a prescription, since the tradition of shamanistic healing precedes the AMA, and the particular configuration of healers here — John and Michael Gibbons of Bardo Pond + Scott Verrastro of Kohoutek — models a cooperative approach that more conventional leadership would do well to emulate. The combination of personalities also tips you off to what to expect. Verrastro is a colorist, using the metal parts of his drum kit to keep the listener aware of the dimensions surrounding the listening space, but he also provides just enough forward momentum to keep the music moving at a fogbank-rolling pace. The Gibbons match liquid lead and coarse riff with practiced ease; they’ve spent a lot of time in such cloudy spaces, and they breathe deeply of the inspirational atmosphere.

Bill Meyer

Discovery Zone — Remote Control (Mansions and Millions)

Remote Control by Discovery Zone

“Sophia Again” is a sci-fi mini-story, presenting the conversation between an AI creature and her creator, talking about the self, the meaning of life and the joy of connection, as bubbling arcs of synthesizer sounds jet off into the ether. It is, perhaps, the most literally futuristic of the cuts on this gleaming, synth-centric album, though the whole thing is polished to an other worldly, not quite natural glow. JJ Weihl, the artist behind Discovery Zone, also works in Fenster, a Berlin-based psychedelic pop band of a similarly polished, dance-referring (but not dance) aesthetic. Here, she works solo in luminous abstractions of crystal clear sound. The pleasure comes in the purity and beauty of voices, synths, drum beats, which sound like Sophia might have made them while learning to be human; they are a little too perfect to be wholly man-made.

Esoctrilihum — Eternity of Shaog (I, Voidhanger)

Eternity Of Shaog by ESOCTRILIHUM

An epic of esoteric demonology from Ashtâghul’s one-man black metal project Esoctrilihum, Eternity of Shaog presents as ten songs, most of which bear titles like “Exh-Enî Söph (First Passage: Exiled from Sanity)” and “Amenthlys (5th Passage: Through the Yth-Whtu Seal).” One gets the sense that there is a cosmology being built—but even Google has a tough time tracking the references to the many, many Eastern mythic systems in the repertoire. The provisionally good news is that Eternity of Shaog is a bit less musically spastic than its predecessor, The Telluric Ashes of the Ö Vrth Immemorial Gods, an even longer record released just last year. Say what you will, Ashtâghul is prolific. On this new record, you get his signature combination of black metal speed and snarl and an ambitiously (that’s the kind word) proggy compositional sense. The transitions this time around are less violent, the riffs are pretty good and plentiful synths build out to lush soundscapes. The musical textures are rich, but the bad vibes dominate. It’s hard to say what malign presences you’ll be summoning into your home if you play this stuff as loud as seems intended. Maybe keep some holy water handy.

Fire-Toolz — Rainbow Bridge (Hausu Mountain)

Rainbow Bridge by Fire-Toolz

As Fire-Toolz composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Angel Marcloid conjures mosaics from such disparate elements that one wonders how the music hangs together. Yet what at first seems like a chaotic, fractured farrago coalesces into a cohesive picture of her world that simultaneously bewilders and awes. Catholic in source and meticulous in construction Rainbow Bridge is an uncompromising and often stunning dash through Marcloid’s mind. Treated vocals that evoke death metal or JG Thirwell at his most outré, passages of twinkling synth and arena guitar, elements of 1980s Japanese ambient music, fusion jazz and Chiptune slot together like Jenga blocks that wobble but never quite collapse.

Marcloid’s project of musical excavation, reclamation and transformation perhaps mirrors her experience as a non-binary transgender person and the atomization of many tracks on Rainbow Bridge read as a meditation on the contingency of identity and the struggle for place within/outside social constructs that define acceptability and “taste”. On the other hand, sit back, push play and prepare to drift along with the ambient flow then be jolted from reverie by glitch and noise. Much like the world really.

Jacaszek — Music for Film (Ghostly)

Music for Film by Jacaszek

Music for Film collects the Polish composer Jacaszek’s scores for three movies — the 2019 documentary He Dreams of Giants, the 2008 project Golgota wrocławska and the 2017 film November. Haunted, evocative, disquieting and gorgeous, these ten soundscapes infuse the sounds of electronics, strings and samples with dread. “The Iron Bridge” turns sampled voices and slow throbs of cello into dance with death and memory, while “Liina” picks up eerie vibrations just out of focus, like a camera accidentally recording a ghost. “Dance” hurls electric bolts of tremulous sound—they sizzle with aftertones—then picks out a morose melody in plucked strings. All is dark, subdued, ominous but velvety, sensually smooth. Not having seen the films, I can’t guess the subject matter, but let’s assume there’s no laugh track.

Kontrabassduo Studer-Frey — Zeit (Leo)

youtube

Double bassists Peter K Frey and Daniel Studer has spent the better part of the 21st century performing as a duo, but they don’t seem to have felt pressured to rush out a recording documenting their music. This CD includes selections from 2004, 2007, and 2018 that were made at home, in concert, and in the studio. But despite the variety of sources and occasions, this album feels quite cohesive, which is a testament to integrity of their partnership. They rarely play similarly at any given moment, but their contrasting techniques and frequency ranges evince a balance makes even the tracks with contributions by clarinetist Jürg Frey and cellist Alfred Zimmerlin feel like the work of one massive, multi-bodied bass.

Marlin’s Dreaming — Quotidian (Self-Released)

Quotidian by Marlin's Dreaming

The trick of putting soft, flickery voices in front of raging guitars is not a new one, but it’s still worth trying, especially as well as Marlin’s Dreaming does on “Outward Crying.” This sweeping, soaring, but fundamentally introspective tune blasts and blares in a sensitive way, the guitar noise parting like drapes for the singer’s disconsolate confession that he’s leaving this town. The town in question is Auckland, New Zealand, and you can certainly make connections to antipodal fuzz icons, especially the Verlaines. Yet there’s a bit of romantic swoon here in cuts like “Sink or Swim,” which links Marlin’s Dreaming’s diffident lo-fi pop with the baroque gestures of Roxy Music. This is the band’s second album and rather poised given their short history. Marlin’s Dreaming out loud in soft colors and blistering fuzz, and it’s a good one.

Jennifer Kelly

Christian Rønn & Aram Shelton—Multiring (Astral Spirits)

Multiring by Christian Rønn & Aram Shelton

Some musicians stake their claim within a particular locale, and others tour the world. Alto saxophonist Aram Shelton’s done a bit of both. You could say he’s a serial resident; over the past couple decades he’s been based in Chicago, Oakland, Copenhagen, and now, Budapest. But his recording history lags behind him. His latest release is a cassette recorded in April 2018, and it stands apart from anything he’s done to date. Credit for that lies partly with his choice of partner, Danish keyboardist Christian Rønn. Rønn’s instrument here is a Wurlitzer electric piano, augmented with effects that play up its reverberant qualities, but played without much reference to the way people used to play the thing when it was omnipresent in the 1960s and 1970s. Instead of nailing down a groove, Rønn posts reverberant signposts that Shelton can snake through or lays out undulating surfaces that the saxophonist can sail over. Either way, Shelton plays with a darker and softer tone than has been his wont in the past, casting a pall of eerie foreboding over this gradually evolving music.

Snekkestad / Guy / Fernandez — The Swiftest Traveller (Trost)

The Swiftest Traveler by Snekkestad / Guy / Fernandez

Englishman double bassist Barry Guy (b. 1947) has been shuttling between free and composed musical zones for over half a century, longer than the similarly versatile Scandinavian reeds and brass multi-threat Torben Snekkestad (b. 1973) has been alive. Catalan pianist Agusti Fernández (b. 1954) traverses similar terrain. And all three shift fluidly between conventional virtuosity and astutely applied extended techniques. The trio’s rapport is so strong that one supposes that however the album got its title, it wasn’t the result of some musical contest. They’re builders, not destroyers. Still, the rapidity with which these three musicians move from event to event is undeniable. Sparse stasis morphs into quick runs up and down the keyboard; a dense, high-velocity onslaught transforms into intricate, three-part counterpoint. The quickness with which the music changes and the completeness that it expresses from moment to moment make this a very satisfying performance.

Various Artists — Quilted Flowers: 1940s Albanian & Epirot Recordings from the Balkan Label (Canary Recordings)

Quilted Flowers: 1940s Albanian & Epirot Recordings from the Balkan Label by Canary Records

The word “Balkanized” has the dubious distinction of having acquired extra-regional meaning, to the point where it now signifies a whole divided into smaller, mutually hostile regions. But some of the Balkan musicians who moved to New York City pulled together to play on each other’s gigs and recordings. The Albanian multi-instrumentalist, Ajdan Asllan, who ran the Balkan record label, partnered with musicians from Greece and Bulgaria on both a musical and business level, and kept the company running into the LP age. This collection pulls 11 sides of instrumental and vocal music that originated on his home turf, but if your ears have previously pricked up in response to rural music from Greece or Anatolia, you will want to hear this stuff. A pair of clarinets or a violin usually carry the melodies, sometimes chased by sharp-pitched vocals that spread out in ragged but lusty unison, and always carried by unevenly accented rhythms articulated by vigorously strummed stringed instruments.

Otomo Yoshihide & Chris Pitsiokos — Live in Florence (Astral Spirits)

Live in Florence by Otomo Yoshihide & Chris Pitsiokos

Live in Florence documents a meeting between Otomo Yoshihide on guitar and turntables and Chris Pitsiokos on alto sax and electronics at the Tempo Reale Festival in Florence, Italy. This was the final date of a six-day European tour by the duo, and they’re primed from the first crackled sputters and blasts. The two thrive on these sorts of boundary-crushing forays and their seven short improvisations careen along with frenetic, brawny energy. The two deploy jump-cut pacing and shredded attacks from piercing overtones and feedback to frayed overblown sax and turntable crackle to manically angular reed lines and searing electronic bursts to chafed sax amplifications and thundering rumbles. Even on pieces where they start things out a bit more subdued, the two quickly ratchet up the intensity with torrid, barely-controlled vigor. There’s a slight respite on the sixth piece, with Otomo’s chiming guitar harmonics laying a resonant field for Pitsiokos’s breathy chirps and bent tones but even here, they arc to waves of feedback and skirling reed fusillades by the end. The final piece starts with shattered electronics and spitting reeds and mounts into bellowing din, exploding to the finish of the exhilarating 37-minute set.

This is not about skincare. But about a perfume I purchased recently. It's Paul Penders EDP Rain Flower. It's fresh. Instantly calms my nerves. Feels like being in rain surrounded by jasmine flowers. But those who like woody fragrances wouldn't like it.

Also it's all organic and vegan. So I actually spray it directly on my skin. Using it daily for past few days. Staying power is decent. But bottle is handy and dainty so it can be carried around in bag.

I generally use fragrance-free skincare products. They're quite plain and mundane. So I feel need to buy some kind of perfume or perfume oil to compensate for that.

7 Herbaceous Perfumes Which Smell Like Rain-Soaked Forests

7 Herbaceous Perfumes Which Smell Like Rain-Soaked Forests Looking for a fresh, cool, green and watery perfume to match the rainy monsoon? These leafy, aquatic scents bloom beautifully in humid weather, so you end up feeling in tune with raindrop-soaked leaves and flowers you see in this season. The perfumes we’ve listed below are delightfully natural, herbaceous and calming. 1. Matin from Moi by Nykaa Rs 1,800 for 100 ml of EDP This perfume is for those who don’t like powdery florals on their own, and would like them to be more green, leafy and natural. It has the cool sweetness of rose and the sparkling brightness of bergamot with a slight hint of magnolia, but the most intense notes are woody, musky and green. You feel like you’re in a rose garden, cutting lemons and smelling the wet earth after it has rained. Of course, it is a bit powdery and soapy, but that gives it a sophisticated, perfume-y smell, and it makes the scent more graceful and pleasant than a screeching, sharp blend of essential oils. Buy it here. 2. Fijian Water Lotus from The Body Shop Rs 1,045 for 100 ml of mist Quite similar to Davidoff Cool Water For Women, this smells like roses and water, but not rosewater per se. There’s a cold, sweet, almost powdery freshness to it which, backed by hints of citrusy notes of orange peel, makes for a great daily-wear scent for sensitive noses. It’s so fresh and icy that you feel like you’re in a cool lake full of crushed rose petals. Unlike salty and sour marine scents, this is watery in a different, sweet, cool way, so it makes for a good skin-scent or a product to layer atop richer, headier perfume oils. Buy it here. 3. Waterlily Tea Dress from Zara Rs 1,590 for 40 ml of EDP A herbaceous mix of citrus and mint, this is from a collection Jo Malone did with Zara, so it has those signature cologne-y elements you associate with Jo Malone scents. This one smells like a mojito with white floral notes. What’s interesting is that the notes of flowers smell really grassy and lemon-y, like fresh-cut flowers and a refreshing talc, not like the perfume-y version of a flower, which makes for a beautiful experience for those who love smelling like real flowers in a garden. The bergamot gives a lovely zest to it, while the white florals help it smell velvety, and the mint gives a bitter, zingy, earthy, green spiciness. All the notes are blended so well together that you get the best of each note without being able to tell them apart as distinct elements. Buy it here. 4. Rain Flower and Jasmine from Paul Penders Rs 1,800 for 30 ml of EDP This scent straight-up smells like rain-soaked, wet leaves mixed with jasmine essential oil. It’s so grassy and herbaceous that you’d think it would turn bitter after a point, but it actually ends up remaining a musky, aromatic mix of white florals and aquatic notes. You can smell a bit of mint that enhances the herb-like green notes of the jasmine, and some lavender and mandarin give it a sparkling, sharp zing. This makes it quite strong as a scent. What is also impressive is that despite smelling so green and watery, it is not a weak scent. Those looking for an organic, plant-based scent without chemicals should try this. Buy it here. 5. Top Of The World from Isak Rs 3,200 for 50 ml of EDP When you first spray this, it smells like a men’s cologne that your dad might have used. Then it evolves into a herbaceous, green, fruity skin-scent. The freshness of lemons and melons gives it a watery coolness minus the cloying sweetness or metallic sourness associated with those notes. The notes of musk, cinnamon and rosemary make it smell cool, woody, green and earthy. So, it doesn’t smell like a bitter green but a wearable, powdery, almost sweet and bright green scent. The longevity is also pretty good, so you get your money’s worth. Buy it here. 6. Atkinsons 24 Old Bond Street Triple Extract Rs 12,000 for 100 ml of Eau De Cologne Concentrée Sometimes you smell a perfume and you can absolutely tell it is expensive, luxurious and sophisticated without even looking at the price tag. This is one of those. It makes you feel like you’re walking through the hills of Scotland on a cool, misty day, with sweet wildflowers and fragrant herbs growing around you, while you sip some citrusy black tea. There’s a definite woodsy, grassy, musky undertone to this unisex scent, but it also has a slight rosy touch, paired with the smell of tea and sweet cardamom. So, it’s a very well-blended, sophisticated perfume you’d expect to smell on an older British person in a crisp white shirt and a tweed coat. Buy it here. 7. Le Jardin De Monsieur Li from Hermes Rs 7,200 for 50 ml of EDT This is a mellow citrusy-floral which translates into a fresh, green, clean, soapy scent not unlike that of Elizabeth Arden’s 5th Avenue and Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. It smells quite unisex and almost cologne-like despite having hints of jasmine, because it has a woody, smoky depth that offsets the sour brightness of the citrus. Still, since it’s primarily a citrus scent with a touch of indolic white florals, it develops poorly on certain skin types, so try it before buying it to see how it meshes with your body chemistry. Since it is rather lightweight, remember that if you moisturise well and then use it, it will bloom better. beauty tips : 7 Herbaceous Perfumes Which Smell Like Rain-Soaked Forests Read the full article

The Daily Tulip

The Daily Thistle – News From Scotland

Saturday 9th June 2018

"Madainn Mhath” …Fellow Scot, I hope the day brings joy to you…. One more week slips into the past, memories of things done, places seen and people met, life is a carousel of these things, some of the memories last for a moment, some a lifetime, although I doubt if I will remember the first story for long, Alt, Control, Delete seems to be the right thing to do…. Where did I put my coffee Bella?

TEEN CHARGED OVER DUNFERMLINE MOSQUE BACON HATE CRIME…. A teenager has been charged after bacon was left on the door handles of a mosque in Fife. The incident happened at Dunfermline Central Mosque at about 02:00 on Sunday 29 April. The teenager is also charged in connection with a fire-raising incident at a takeway on the town's Queensferry Road, Rosyth on Friday 18 May. The 19-year-old man is due to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court later.

ATLANTIC ROWER FROM SCOTLAND RESCUED BY US COAST GUARD…. An amateur rower has been rescued from stormy weather while making an attempt to cross the North Atlantic in a wooden boat he built himself. Duncan Hutchison, from Lochinver, spent three years building the boat, which is adrift at sea. Mr Hutchison left New York last month with the aim of taking about 100 days to row his boat back to the Highlands village. The US Coast Guard came to his aid off Barnegat, New Jersey. His boat called Sleipner, named after an eight-legged horse from Norse mythology that could glide across the sea, had come ashore but was later carried back out to sea. All his belongings are on the boat. Mr Hutchison hopes the coast guard can help him find and recover the craft. In a post on Facebook, he said he hoped to resume his attempt if the boat was recovered and once the weather was calmer. He thanked the coast guard and a local bed and breakfast owner for the help they have given him. Another Scot, Niall Iain Macdonald, is making a separate bid to row from the US to Scotland. Mr Macdonald, who is making his third attempt in four years at completing the feat, set out from Virginia and is aiming for Stornoway in Lewis. He is still off the US coast.

HIT-AND-RUN UNIVERSITY STUDENT FOUND DEAD IN PRISON…. A student who admitted knocking down a young runner while drunk and then fleeing the scene has been found dead in prison. Katie Allan, who was 20 at the time of the accident, died at Polmont Prison near Falkirk, on Monday. The Glasgow University geography student was jailed for 16 months in March. The incident, which involved a 15-year-old boy - happened in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, on 10 August last year. Paisley Sheriff Court heard that the teenager was out jogging at about 21:00 when he was struck by a Ford Fiesta. The impact was so severe the car's bumper was torn off as the car sped away. The victim was left unconscious, with blood seeping from a head wound. He had been preparing to sit his Higher examinations but suffered a broken ankle and a fractured eye socket. Allan, who was due to be released in October, was quickly traced as eyewitnesses made a note of her registration plate. The student pleaded guilty to causing serious injury to the teenager by driving dangerously and driving more than four-times above the legal alcohol limit. Jailing her for 16 months, Sheriff David Pender said there was only one appropriate sentence. He said: "You were very much under the influence of alcohol. "It should have been obvious to you that you were not in a condition to drive. "In my view, the combination of the two charges makes it impossible to deal with this in a non-custodial way." A spokeswoman for the Scottish Prison Service said: "We can confirm Katie Allan passed away at Polmont yesterday morning." A Fatal Accident Inquiry is expected to be held.

WOMAN IN COURT OVER £100,000 CANNABIS HAUL IN ABERDEEN…. A woman has appeared in court after cannabis resin said to have a street value of about £100,000 was seized in Aberdeen. Police Scotland said the recovery was made during a search of a property in the Rosemount area of the city on Monday. Denise Willox, 57, from Aberdeen, made no plea at the city's sheriff court. She was committed for further examination and released on bail.

DUNDEE TEENAGER'S VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY…. A Dundee teenager who doctors said might be unable to walk or talk has turned a website highlighting his love for the city into his first business. Andrew Batchelor, who has a form of cerebral palsy, expanded the Dundee Culture site from a Facebook page he set up aged 13 in 2013. The site has been visited by more than four million visitors from 45 countries including Malaysia and Russia. The 17-year-old now plans to use the site to promote local businesses. Andrew told BBC Scotland's Kaye Adams Programme that he had "defied the odds" when it came to the doctors' original diagnosis.

All good stuff....But remember it’s a dangerous world we live in

Natural hair is more prone to breakage and damage, as well as being more sensitive to the chemicals included in most hair products. As a consequence, Paul Penders utilises natural hair wash ingredients to enhance natural hair and restore its health and beauty. Its Time Release Jasmine Shampoo contains ingredients taken from nature. It is completely vegan, botanical, and chemical-free, and it is excellent for enhancing natural hair attractiveness. It nourishes the hair, making it smooth and shiny.

Sonic Requiem

So my friends and family know how much I was into the Sonic comic. Even when my simulation sickness was making playing Sonic the Hedgehog games a nauseating chore, even when I could barely play the games because they were so… ugh, I was into the comics.

Many have heard this story before but it bares repeating. When I was about seven our class raised silkworms, I had four of them and they lived in a box and I checked on them and fed them mulberry leaves. So, for those who don't know silkworms are caterpillars and caterpillars cocoon. My mother just saw that the silkworms were not moving one day and assumed that they died. Knowing that I would be rightly upset at the untimely passing of my precious silkworms she prepared a little care package.

My favorite candy were Dove bars, my favorite drink peach Clearly Canadian and while buying those items she just so happen to pick up a few more things at the register. A Jughead double digest (the number escapes me) and Sonic the Hedgehog issue number 6.

One of my longest passions and hobbies started because of a mistake made by my mom.

We were living in Okinawa at the time so getting the comics or even seeing the comics at the store was a chore but I stayed with it as much as I could.. Until I didn’t see them at the PX anymore, then I assumed they didn’t come out anymore.

Which caused the first set of holes in my collection.

When we moved to Virginia I got back into Sonic in a big way, my drawings shifted from mostly DBZ to mostly Sonic and since I was having a rough time from being picked on at school I really got into fleshing out my own Sonic based characters.

Jasmine gave me her Sonic comics from her youth which was awesome, and today I still have them, they act as readers to this beloved series.

Jazz would indulge me she would play Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles and let me talk about my theories, or hear me bitch about how much I disliked Amy Rose, or listen to me whine about how the game tie-ins were ‘ruining the comic’.

Speaking of which, I hated the Sonic Adventures tie-ins and those caused the second set of holes in my collection. The most noted and annoying hole to fill was 80-92.

The storyline in the comics had it’s ups and downs… there was a lot of downs.. The artwork tanked a bit in the late 90’s.

The games were.. Starting to get… meh, but after issue 93 I was vigilant, I was going to keep up with the comics to the best of my ability.

Of course there was time in my life that I could not buy anything for myself. (When I was living with no power for months) So that caused the third and final hole in my collection.

24 years guys… Twenty-four years, I thought I was mentally prepared for this because the writing was on the wall, the swans were preparing to sing but I was hoping that they would at least stick it out until issue 300. It wasn’t meant to be.

I am thankful for the two decades of fun, the ups, the downs, the stupid crossovers, the okay crossovers, the great art, the questionable art, the bad art, the brown eyes, the green eyes, the addition of game characters and the removal of the Penders characters (Some of which were my favorites) all of it.

The main series, the mini-series, the specials, the magazines, the one-offs, the spins offs, the collections.. All of it, is my childhood and my some of my adult life.

I dealt with Archie’s terrible subscription system, I dealt with comic book store owners who would give me attitude about buying Sonic, I dealt with my dad giving me attitude because he never felt like taking me to the comic book stores to look for back issues, Guys I started buying other comic books because of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Batman Beyond

All the Misq X-Men titles

All the misq Spiderman titles

All the random instances Archie?

All because of the Sonic the Hedgehog Comic.

So yes, I am sad, I am disappointed and if Sega lets another publisher have a go, things will never be the same. I’ll accept that, but right now I am pretty bummed and that feeling might last a long time.

I’m sad and I don’t care who knows it.

But I know what I must do. I will finish my re-read, all of it and in the future when I learn how to do the video thing I will make a Youtube series about it.
