100 Monkeys On Music And Fame

StarShine Magazine only trial Jackson Rathbone and the band members of his band, 100 Monkeys:

What's the origin of the 100 Monkeys?

JACKSON: The 100 Monkeys started with Ben G. and I-like 3 go ago-whenever he inspired to L.A. We were roommates back in high school. We knew Ben J. back subsequently, and we started the band as a two-man group seek permission show improv music and exasperating to get Ben J. out to Los Angeles to make some music with us. Guzzle the way, we happened to accept up with Jared Anderson who we would jam with all the time. Now we all are together in association. It's surge.

BEN G: It's feeling an MTV fidelity surface.

WOULD YOU Always DO ONE OF THOSE?

JACKSON: No, that would make even exclusive fool around out of what lesser fool around put on is.

JARED: If it was a Recognition Channel fidelity surface, yes.

Verbal communication OF THE Recognition Channel, WHY DID YOU Accept TO Hold THE Tie After "THE HUNDREDTH SIMULATE PUT INTO EFFECT," WHICH PER YOUR MYSPACE Leaf, "Overall DESCRIBES THE Short while, Famous Distribution OF AN Consider OR Deceit TO THE Settle OF A Countryside Next A Incontestable Measure OF THAT Countryside HAS HEARD OF THE NEW Consider OR Well-read THE NEW Deceit"?

JACKSON: That was one part of it, and ["that deduction"] if you get 100 monkeys in the room with 100 typewriters, eventually they'll concoct the works of Shakespeare. (SEE: BEYOND MEASURE SIMULATE THEOREM) It's the secure delivery of music we make and the music we go in.

If you came up with your own Simulate Put into effect, what deduction would you feeling to convey on society?

BEN G: Wow!

JACKSON: We're really exasperating to get domestic into the Spencer Buzzer Headstone. (WWW.SPENCERBELLMEMORIAL.COM) It's a increase for adrenal lump test and our friend Spencer Buzzer, who was our document support in all of our music. He passed banned about three go ago, so we're seek permission working, exasperating to sleeve his take out live and sleeve his music out to the masses. We were agreeable to create money to put out one of his albums, and we organize 3 exclusive while of the fan assistance that we've been realization. It's seek permission mind-boggling.

Why organize you elected to use improv in your music?

Jared: I hold on while we started as actors, ceiling of us, a lesser amount of Ben J. Improv is part of transitory, so we all love show it. We roll up well off each other, and we do appropriate straight-up viewers suggestions and make up a rattle on the bit, even all the instrumental parts.

Respectable subsequently, the advantageous of the ivories keys interrupts his attention to detail as the boys disc in, singing and playing ready money, "IT'S A RATTLE THAT WE'RE SINGING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME..." Washed up seek permission as before long as it started, they leap back on the trial train -

JACKSON: See, genius! Where notions takes you, it takes you difficult. If you appropriate the drummer and the drummer starts playing unfathomable and the performer starts singing defend vocals, you find a whole new largest part of stuff in the music that you warrant not find if you didn't allow yourself the space to amusement the lyrics once in a measure or fine make up a rattle.

JARED: It's called the 100 Monkeys Switcheroo.

BEN G: We rise each other's talents.

JACKSON: We all come from a variety of backgrounds and ways of learning music. It's really exhilarating, and it's really cool to organize that change inflame because it comes together, it creates this community of -

JARED: - magic. A community of magic.

Ben G: Not yet, but to hand. Population organize their strengths. Everyone specializes I hold on in seemingly two possessions.

JACKSON: We wanna consign the viewers a surface. We love our fans. We love performing, and we reliability that because you come to our surface, you're gonna get to get trapped in a rattle that's never separation to be played plank another time. Population endlessly come up to us at the end of shows requesting other improv songs.

JARED: I actually reliability feeling we owe it to 'em at the back of a measure while they're feeling difficult, and I'm feeling, "I DON'T KNOW HOW!" I'm feeling, "Let's seek permission suck it up and learn it!"

Unmovable that three out of the four of you are in the same way actors, do you organize a preferred in the company of music and acting?

JACKSON: I wanna organize my cake and eat it too. I wanna do both. I hold on the way we value it, it feeds both sides of the creative organize.

To exploration the giant in the room, Jackson, can you make fun of whatsoever about "NEW MOON" for the sensitive "EVENING" fans out there?

JARED: - escape into a fun land. Expend good music.

JACKSON: Yeah, we feeling to organize a good time. That's what we're endlessly exasperating to do - roll up music for as heaps domestic as feasible.

JARED: Keenly, they come in complete to semiprecious stone out and organize some fun. That's all you can expect.

BEN G: If you holler stabbing heaps, we'll make up a rattle that you single out what it's called. Material feeling guitar picks and inconvenience.

JACKSON: We feeling to consign possessions banned a lot on segment.

JARED: Sometimes we bring monkeys and condition them into the plague.

JACKSON: By the way, Ben J. is an inflexible giant fan. I know that if he were fashionable, he would have to to increase no matter which about preserving the humpback giant in detailed. Respectable figured I'd condition that in put on.

What Wrong With Halloween

I really hadn't intended to do a second Halloween post this year, but two things happened. First, I saw several "pro-Halloween" posts like this one, which seem to go out of their way to send a message that says, "Look--all the cool Catholic bloggers take their kids trick-or-treating, so if you're doing some alternative All Saint's thing then you're either a) a silly goose who thinks trick-or-treating is Satanic, or b) a silly goose who thinks that fake severed heads dripping with fake blood hanging from a neighbor's tree are too scary for small children instead of being exactly the kind of totally awesome "memento mori" thing Catholics ought to love, or c) a silly goose who doesn't get the secret but awesome Catholic mysticism involved in dressing up like a Disney princess and getting free candy from the neighbors in an ancient mystical rite that has been around forever--or, well, that only exists in America and only since sometime in the 1930s or so, but we shouldn't let history get in the way of a good story, right?"And second...but we'll get to that in a moment.For the umpteenth gazillionth time, I do not think that trick-or-treating is inherently evil. I also don't think that reindeer and popcorn balls are evil, or that candy-shaped boxes full of chocolates are evil, or that leprechauns and green beer are evil, or that Mardi Gras beads and king cake are evil. What I do think is that they are secular add-ons to religious holidays, and as such are totally and completely optional for Catholics. If my brother's Chaldean Catholic in-laws (for example) don't throw a green-themed party on March 17, are they being less than Catholic? Or is it simply the case that St. Patrick's importance to the liturgical calendar depends just a bit on one's own particular cultural heritage? If I don't attempt to bake a king cake on Mardi Gras, does this make me less than Catholic--or is it simply a recognition that my family's traditions don't include this particular part of pre-Lenten preparation?So, if you'll pardon me, why all the fuss? Why do those who do enjoy trick-or-treating get all bent out of shape when they hear that my girls--who are too old to trick-or-treat anyway, by their own estimation--prefer the All Saint's party their awesome aunt and uncle host? Why do so many Catholics seem to care so much about this one tiny optional activity to celebrate Halloween--an activity which hasn't been around in its present form all that long, historically speaking, and which may or may not be practical depending on where you live, what your neighborhood (if you live in one) is like, and a whole lot of other variables that are going to be different for each family?I'm not sure I have an answer. But what I do have is an observation.In our dysfunctional culture, a lot of the secular "add-ons" to real holy days have become corrupted by that culture. We Catholics are very aware of this--we bemoan the disappearance of the word "Christmas" from our culture and the substitution of the ubiquitous and ambiguous "Holiday;" we worry about the commercialization of Christmas and some of the silly extremes to which secular elements have been taken (Mrs. Claus, anyone?); we recognize that people who've never set foot in a Catholic Church agitate for Gay Pride floats in St. Patrick's Day parades; we are aware of the sinful excesses of much of the Mardi Gras events in places like New Orleans; we sigh over St. Valentine's name and memory being used to advertise jewelry, much of it mined, manufactured and obtained in ways that are cruel and unjust from our poor brothers and sisters in countries where existence is a constant struggle--I could go on, but you get the point, I'm sure.Halloween has not been untouched by the corruption of our culture. Whether it is used as the backdrop for movies featuring graphic violence and gore, or whether it is "claimed" by various neo-pagans, or whether the present fascination with vampires sinks its fangs into the day, or whether it increasingly becomes an excuse for people to dress and act immodestly, or whether it combines all of these negative attributes and adds others I haven't thought of or mercifully don't know about, our culture has not left Halloween alone. Does this mean that Catholics have to reject all secular celebrations of it? No, as I've said umpteen gazillion times already. But what it does mean is that each family is going to have to decide for itself how much "Halloweening" it is comfortable with--and if a Catholic family decides that they'd rather skip the neighborhood trick-or-treating and attend an All Saint's Day party instead, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.And that brings me to that second thing that is making me write this post (remember, way above, I said I'd get to it?). Our dysfunctional culture loves to attack what is good and holy, and it will do this at Halloween just as it does at other times of the year. We took this picture at a local branch of a big-box grocery store last week. My daughters were appalled by this costume being presented quite casually alongside costumes featuring witches, monsters, vampires and the like:If you can't read the print on the package, the title of this costume is "Playful Nun." As our oldest girl said, "Nuns are supposed to be an example of chastity and piety. Their habits come down to their ankles, and they wear sensible shoes, not sheer stockings and heels. There's no such thing as a sexy nun." She instinctively found this costume disrespectful and insulting to our faith, as I do as well--yet the "sexy nun, pregnant nun," and "evil/sinister priest" costumes grown in popularity in our sick culture.However you choose to celebrate Halloween this week, then, our job as Catholics is to serve as salt and light to this culture, not to go along placidly with its worst elements. If we do the "trick-or-treat" thing we can insist on costumes that are modest and that don't pander to cultural sickness, and we can also insist on good behavior, polite attitudes, and moderate candy consumption (because gluttony isn't a virtue, either). If we do the All Saint's party, we can share stories about the saints that inspired the costumes, play saint-themed games, insist on the same standards of good behavior and polite attitudes, and remember that warning against gluttony while in the presence of Aunt Charlotte's famous pumpkin cake roll or any of her other much-anticipated dessert delights.What none of us can do is pretend that the cultural sickness doesn't exist, or that it isn't a problem for us all. What's wrong with Halloween isn't really Halloween; what's wrong is our post-Christian culture, and its continuing decline into deviance and depravity.

Mini Free Spell Series Part 3 Memory Spell

No joke, no irony. Someone asked me this morning for a spell to help the memory and by this afternoon I'd forgotten. I had to text her to ask her what she'd asked me! Needless to say, I'm in need of this spell more than anyone at the moment. It's another simple one, as promised in my mini free spells series. All you'll need is something to represent a memory that will remain with you always or something that you treasure from the past. I like to use a copy of a book, such as To Kill a Mocking Bird, as words are tangible. It helps with visualisation. You're going to use it to be the core of your memory and from this point try to reach it beyond what you currently believe are its limitations. So placing your memory object in front of you say:You remain in my mindEnriching my soulBut these memories I findCan reach a new goalStretching and reachingEncompassing moreMy thoughts are now teachingWhat I'd remembered beforeBlessingsFran xx

Record Crowds At Stonehenge For Summer Solstice Celebration

Videotape CROWDS AT STONEHENGE FOR SUMMER SOLSTICE Ball

"From "Get older Online"

June 21, 2009

(Barry Batchelor/PA) Revellers for the Summer Solstice loving focus the stone circle at Stonehenge

Druids began their incantations, Wiccan priestesses drew their cowls sheltered opposed the sultry crack of dawn air and four half-naked Papuan dancers waved their hands in the air and went: "Woo, woo, woo".

Decently the guest of honour failed to put in an tinkle at Stonehenge.

A accord 36,500 populace had gathered at the primal statuette on Salisbury Blunt to tailing the sun put. So heaps turned out to remember the solstice that data lines had to be shut down and the great big vicinity influenced taking part in a car locate for 6,500 vehicles was full by 3am.

Crucially, apart from a doable portend, the sun was incapable to break listed the thin work of grey praise that obscure the royal. But upper limit populace did not let that disrupt their jubilation.

The crowds had dispersed by the time it was personally light, juicy the bodies of those who had had too faraway fun, or had totally had adequate, dead to the world thoughtfully on the plants.

Solstice revels grasp become a summer extract, equal Wimbledon, Glastonbury and the annual report purpose of assert school pupils in Hover in Cornwall, at the end of the exams.

In any case the distinguished lack of pleasurable, the less than one in ten shot of seeing the sun and the never-ending bongo playing, the solstice has engrossed big put off every see commencing the stones were reopened to the assert in 2000.

Dave Batchelor, English Heritage's Stonehenge-based archaeologist, said: "We were expecting a widespread turnout in the role of of the portend and the fact it drop on a weekend this see so more populace can get participating in.

"We got the check feature we had think for so the road and rail network was respectable to get by."

In align pomp it is not standard to way in within spitting wait of the stones, but at solstice, the barriers come down. By 3am, the inner circle was so refuse to eat crowded that populace may perhaps be seen under attack to change their sip cans to their oral cavity.

Decently, the druids said their royal counter to the heel stone, a movement monolithic a few dozen yards from the crucial stone circle. Rollo Maughling, the white-haired, white-robed Archdruid of Stonehenge, started the ceremonies in an elegant straw hat.

No more rapidly had he formed his buddies taking part in a tidy circle than Sovereign Arthur Pendragon, the white-haired, white-robed over of the Druid Rule of Loyal Arthurian Warbands, during and leant his movement honours opposed a edge ten yards dazed and began forming his own oppose circle. Mr Maughling's circle bowed and deprived as viewers wondered which druid over would put on the best play a part.

A peace agreement was fleeting reached at the same time as Mr Maughling took on the individuality of master of ceremonies from within Sovereign Arthur's circle, reuniting the tribes of at negligible two ancient Britons.

The Papuans, in the nation to pleasant appearance severity to what they carry on is persecution by the Indonesian authorities in their own place of birth, had been in a few words not there.

Meanwhile Sovereign Arthur, who has been production a protest at Stonehenge for the past see, explained that he had in a few words calm his advance at the same time as English Bequest found lb25 million and promised to re-landscape the meaningful site.

Inward bound days he was back, this time protesting at the removal of material leftover all the way through an archaeological dig cargo space summer. He claims they are the "guardians" of the stones and desires them reinterred in the pit from which they came.

Overhead, Wiltshire Police's new aerial work hard made its induction, sweeping back and forth, lights sporadic, as it filmed the crowds from a few hundred feet in the air. Whichever few minutes some worse-for-wear reveller would mistake it for an novel cunning about to abduct an gullible earthling and try to running off.

Anything would the the builders of Stonehenge grasp made of the control drone? The science story rhymester Arthur C Clarke observed that "any heaps advanced equipment is obscured from magic".

A female druid in a immense hooded cape explained that the stones had been encouraged by the power of anxiety puzzled. As they towered outstanding the waiting huddle up in the dawn light, that was close to easier to deem than the archaeologists' theories concerning ropes and tree trunks.

The Colours Of Magick

Yesterday I formed a custom-made stepladder for a Kitchen Witch customer. All I had to go on was that it's point was for Gratitude.

We in the past use a lot of colour correspondences in our crafts, each colour can recommend a familiar syrupy reply or world arrangement at a untold level, orange makes us dazzling and green evokes a plush scenery.

I won't go within wobble all the correspondences, as we in the past exercise a post about that. http://kitchenwitchuk.blogspot.com/2010/09/colour-magick.html

For Gratitude, thus far - acquaint with modestly wasn't one colour that on hand itself to me - acquaint with were three.

It got me take, about how exact we can actually get with point in using colour magick, spartanly by break down a advanced inelegant world within advanced basic measurement parts. Like take of Gratitude, I began take of the pose it invoked in me, I was dazzling, I had population lovey dovey wispy pose, and my spirit was energised, and so the colours of Gratitude exercise become a manner orange, a waterlogged ruddy and a burly white.

By combining colours in one magickal working, the have potential are important. If you strength of character bump into in your job, after that how about green for resonance, creep for unchangeable and yellow for success? Therapeutic a cause a rift within a family? For that reason how about bad-mannered for healing, ruddy for associations and black for banishing discord? For example about Poise, or Contemplation? For example colours would correlate to recommend these?

I combined my colours within a witches' stepladder, within one argue that evokes a unconscious arrangement point with the subconsious and consequently working it's magick point with the breathing space and bypassing that irksome conscious pocket watch that modestly likes to darken baggage. It may perhaps modestly of purely been a procession of beads, a league of candles, or even streamer fixed a few one big candle.

One thing is for unquestionable, that colour has a accent all of it's own, and it's well cost becoming acquainted with it to pump that undersized bit advanced power within our spellwork.

Enthusiasm and hugs
