This year's judges included Tom Waits, Ricky Skaggs, Aimee Mann, Judy Collins, and Suzanne Vega. See the winners in other categories here. What the critics are saying about Boy From Black Mountain Beat Circus' rollicking new album Boy From Black Mountain has been earning great reviews across the land. Boy From Black Mountain is now available in our online STORE. All profits from our online store go directly to the artist! The Boston Phoenix gives it 3.5/4 stars, raving "Boy From Black Mounain is the prettiest darn dark Americana record in recent memory." PopMatters puts Beat Circus in their 2009 Slipped Discs, writing "For anyone still awed by Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, here was an album that promised a similar journey through innocent speculation and otherworldly magic. Beat Circus has provided one of the highs of the year." The Boston Herald ranks Boy From Black Mountain in their top 10 of 2009. Big Takeover writes, "At once unique and familiar, Beat Circus take American music to exotic places that feel strangely like its roots." Foxy Digitalis writes, "Boy From Black Mountain provides another fine example of a band revitalizing traditional folk music without resorting to any post-something-or-other gimmickry, just great songs and 1 great playing." Since releasing Boy From Black Mountain to rave reviews last fall, we've been busy. Brian Carpenter has been in the studio recording with his band the Ghost Train Orchestra and recently recorded with Michael Gira's reformed Swans. Paran Amirinazari has been touring with singer-songwriter Larkin Grimm, Gavin McCarthy has been in the studio with his new band Wallcreeper, and Paul Dilley has been on tour with Miss Tess.

Their repertoire included updated versions of vintage Birdsongs chestnuts plus select improvisations.Pianist Erik Lindgren swopped his Yamaha electric piano for a Nord Lead synthesizer which he use on the Birds 2009 summer Triassic Tour. Animator Karen Aqua's newest film "Twist of Fate", with soundtrack by Ken Field and music by Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, has been garnering wide acclaim, including awards at the Black Maria Film & Video Festival, the James River Film Festival, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival, and screenings at film & animation festivals in Telluride, Denver, Ottawa, Argentina, Athens (OH), Annecy (France), Philadelphia, and elsewhere.

  • THE ED PALERMO BIG BAND Title: OH NO! NOT JAZZ!! (Cuneiform Rune 380/381) Format: 2Xcd / DIGITAL
    Bio information: THE ED PALERMO BIG BAND Title: OH NO! NOT JAZZ!! (Cuneiform Rune 380/381) Format: 2xCD / DIGITAL Cuneiform promotion dept: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (Press & world radio); radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (North American & world radio) www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ Long revered and celebrated for his insistently inventive jazz arrangements of Frank Zappa compositions, New Jersey saxophonist/composer/arranger Ed Palermo returns with his fourth album featuring his big band playing his jaw-dropping, brain- busting, and wildly antic charts. Oh No! Not Jazz!!, is the band’s third project for Cuneiform, but this time Palermo is offering his own jazz vision along side Zappa’s music. It’s a fascinating juxtaposition, with Palermo’s talent-laden 18-piece orchestra digging into his originals, which stand up effectively next to Zappa’s ingenious songbook. With titles like “Let’s Reproduce,” “Nostalgia Revisited,” and “Prelude To An Insult,” Palermo’s compositions seem to be muscling in on Zappa’s wry, absurdist sensibility. But it’s more that Zappa shaped his sense of humor (i.e. bent his young mind) than his compositional vision, as Palermo’s charts swing fiercely and owe far more to Thad Jones and Mel Lewis than the Mothers of Invention. “There is a lot of humor, and I probably got a lot of that from Zappa,” Palermo notes, while also claiming his deep jazz roots. “When you hear me play saxophone my heroes are Phil Woods and Cannonball Adderley.” Palermo’s big band has been dedicated to Zappa’s music for more than two decades, and no ensemble has done more to focus attention on his tremendous body of work as a composer.

  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

  • Family Court Judges
    AN INDEPENDENT REPORT ON CORRUPTION AND WASTE IN THE NEW YORK FAMILY COURT SYSTEM "The family courts are operating a kidnapping and extortion racket." – Dr Stephen Baskerville “Our state court system in New York is absolutely insane. It has enabled political people to control the courts, and they don’t want to give it up — so it’s very hard to get legitimate change that would be beneficial to the public.” – The Hon. David Saxe, NY Appellate Division Justice (retired, 2017) “There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System.” -- NY Supreme Court Judge Brian Lindsay After an exhaustive survey of litigants, attorneys and judges in New York State’s family and matrimonial courts, and with the cooperation of numerous organizations and individuals, the Families Civil Liberties Union presents this wide-reaching report into the family court system of New York. It reveals corruption, cronyism, racketeering, waste and abuse that require urgent public attention. This report is timely and relevant because the New York judiciary has just been granted $3.1 bn in new public funding for the coming year, an increase of 3.4% -- higher than any other government entity. This money was signed off on by both the NY Legislature and Governor Cuomo. This report shows why all funding for the judiciary should be frozen until the evidence of systematic fraud in the judiciary is fully investigated. The report begins with a survey of the judges who have most egregiously failed to perform their constitutional and statutory duties in 2017 and 2018.
