A Stone Big Band Show

 
Hey again Bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 395. And Occupy Wall Street, that NYC Protest for World Revolution is still moving fast. And even in the midst of Occupy Wall street and Occupy Together, I still find myself blogging about music, music and music and music, music, and more music events to be found in that city of New York. And so another music event is happening at The Stone, that nightclub to be found in the Lower East side or the East Village for real estate marketing purposes in New York City. And those events to be found on Facebook and beyond read something like as follows:

Welf Dorr Unit at The Stone 

October 30th, 8pm, tickets $10


Welf Dorr Unit is a new project that saw the light earlier this year with a well-received performance at Arts for Arts/Evolving Music Series. Welf Dorr on alto sax joins forces with Dave Ross on guitar, Dmitry Ishenko on bass and Joe Hertenstein on drums for a free jazz ride with structure and tinges of funk and rock.


Welf, originally from Munich (Germany), lives in New York since 1995 where he played and recorded with Sonny Simmons, Sabir Mateen and Juini Booth. He is a member of Karl Berger’s Improvisers Orchestra, Kenny Wollesen’s Himalayas and the Nublu Orchestra conducted by Butch Morris and works currently mostly with his brass band Underground Horns.


Dave Ross has played with nearly everybody of the downtown music scene and is mostly known for his work with William Hooker.


Bassist Dmitry Ishenko, originally from Russia, played on the very last concerts with Steve Lacy and is a member of the late John Tchicai’s “Ascension Unending”.


Fellow German Joe Hertenstein is making a splash on the NY scene since 2007. He leads his trio HNH and has recently released Polylemma and Future Drone featuring Jon Iragabon.

And also….

And The Stone Rocks. Have a great big band music and more day.

Winter Solstice Again

Okay so here’s another one of those posts that found itself posted on this blog some time a while ago in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blagh whenever bloggers block possible. And I know winter solstice is still a ways away, it’s just that this blog seems to want something to blog about, I think. And this winter solstice post isn’t even including that end of the world or change as we know it 12.21.2012 mayan calendar thing which could be a whole another blog post.

And Winter solstice is fast approaching on the morrow. I know because that Gregorian calendar and all of these winter solstice events that I am seeing advertised says so. And what does the solstice mean anyway as those sol letters seem as if they have something to do with the sun. And I heard someone say the other day that the days get one minute longer or shorter each day leading up to the winter or summer solstice or something. And I think December 21st could be the shortest day of the year I have heard. And it seems to be an astrological event also. And what does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have to say about this day, let’s see… “A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun’s apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun’s path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction. The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the date (day) when this occurs. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some cultures they are considered to start or separate the seasons while in others they fall in the middle.”

And there will most likely be many of those balls, parties, ceremonies, parades, festivals, observations and other events to be found in that city of New York and beyond on that winter solstice day.  Have a great winter celebration day.

A 2012 Halloween

And even though on this day finds itself another one of those Sundays that has rolled around, that day of the sun, the day of rest, the Sabbath, or is that Saturday? I still find myself blogging away for some reason. And so that holiday of All Saints Day, the spooky witches holiday has rolled around again this year, so much that I find myself posting those Halloween photos above. And that NYC Village Halloween Parade 2012 must be on the way again, and houses are starting to be decked out in Halloween decorations as if to be haunted houses, and are the dead going to awake? And Halloween parties and events are starting to arise, those pop up Halloween stores selling those Halloween costumes are starting to arise, and are ghosts going to appear in the day of the dead, or the day of the devil or something like that. Maybe every day should be Halloween, as then we could be free to walk on earth as who we want to be without thinking of what others think of us, or something like that. Then again in that neighborhood of the East Village to be found in New York City, every day is Halloween, I think. Have a great impending Halloween day and more.

The Identity

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LifeLock Twitter for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

AmeliaIZEA | skitch.com

I have heard that identity theft is the fastest growing crime on the internet.  Now, with so many things moving on the internet, identity theft, hackers, and phishing are common issues online.  And I am always reading those stories about people who get their email, bank or other accounts hacked on the internet and then have to regain their accounts and identity back somehow and sometimes costing themselves a lot of money in the process of doing so. And so How hack-friendly is your password?  Well if you happen to be looking for some hacker protection, LifeLock can help you.  They can help you avoid ID and credit card fraud with their different kinds of protection plans for credit monitoring, lost wallets and more.  And you can find LifeLock on Twitter also.  And according to those statistics, hackers seem to like households with $100,000 or more, smartphone users and social media users who click on those applications the most.   And from what I have read, those hackers use some pretty fancy methods to hack those passwords.  And so if you happen to be looking for some online banking, personal information and privacy protection, you can find it with just a website visit away.

Science

And if I must blogger say on this blogging day, it becomes a struggle to find somewhat intelligent things to say when I attempt to discuss that somewhat difficult topic of science. And yet this blog post seems to be about Science Daily, ProFlowers coupon codes and GeekAlerts.com for some reason or another. And that’s as in having something to do with science, coupons and geeks. And so what else is there that I can say about science, coupons and geeks that has not already been said in science, coupons and geeks blogger time. Well, if you happen to be looking for some science and technology news about outer space, the skies, planets and the stars or what not, as well as find some online coupons and discount promo codes from online stores such as Best Buy, Dell, Office Depot, Walmart and more, SciTech Daily has them. And as far as all things geek alerts, well you can find some Proflowers coupon codes for all things flowers at their website as well with just a website visit away.

Facebook Drama

And so in an attempt to web 2.0 social media user generated content maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible, I find myself posting about the battle of the bands Facebook drama on this blogging day, as in facebook fights, cyber bullying, who wants to be the internet hero, employers who hire and fire employees based on what their Facebook page says, families who leave each other based on what their Facebook pages say, people whose whole lives are built around Facebook or whatever you want to Facebook call it. Does Facebook rule the world? And so I guess I have been plagued by and have beared and endured so much Facebook drama for so many Facebook years and Facebook long in the form of go away from facebook emails, in person go away from facebook confrontations and go away from facebook phone calls that it has become go away from Facebook drama unbearable. And how many of those Oh man, You deleted me as your friend! You sure showed me! episodes must I endure to where I find myself posting these comments that go something like:

how nice to be told “don’t invite your facebook friends to my invite because my band thinks you’re a spammer….” 

heard on the telephone – “oh, and if you invite your facebook friends to my facebook invite, i’m gonna stop talking to you.”

ditto…. oh, and heard in person and on the phone months ago…. “will you remove all of your facebook friends that are mutual friends with my bandmember? he doesn’t like it that you are posting on his facebook friends pages.” 

“my band member(s) said they wont invite their facebook friends to my facebook event invite if you invite your facebook friends.” 

“my bandmember says you sent two MySpace emails in one month for our gigs and he doesn’t like it.”

“so what if my band member calls you a bunch of names because of your facebook posts and MySpace emails for our gigs, be nice to him anyway….” 

“my band keeps asking me who’s this npsgirl?” 

ditto. one month later….

heard in person….
don’t overdo it, don’t over post links to my band, please don’t over do it, you don’t talk over me, understand me, do you understand me, you are an a**hole, you acting exactly like kevin, you exactly like him, that’s why you guys clash so much cause you so alike, to share a post on a thousand pages is unnecessary and if you post it too much it becomes spam, i don’t want to hear about something ten times it gets on my nerves, you are a spammer and i don’t want to argue with you about that, you hear me… and if you don’t listen to me i’m gonna stop talking to you.  it’s not facebook, it’s you.”
more facebook drama geez…

And the list of battle of the band facebookomaniaholic insults, accusations and complaints drama goes on and on. And what was life social media like before the invention of MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, Blogger and now Google+ etc;. Geez, facebook drama…. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State.
