Ticking News

The band’s short, remarkably clear sounding set include Bobka-favorites “Daydream” and “Vacation,” as well as “Lazy Day”, which continues Beach Fossils “I’m really baked and it’s way too hot to do anything but pass out in the sun” vibe. [1]

Family Time is set to put out an EP of Norse Horse material on cassette and CD-R later this month, which also includes the phenomenal “Gangplank Galleon” and “Sleepers”, both of which are available for download at No Pain In Pop. [...] For a band that has only “officially” released two songs, I hesitate to say that Girls played all the “hits” last night at the Mercury Lounge, but, fact of the matter is, they did.While “Morning Light”, “Lust For Life”, “Hellhole Ratrace” were presented in all their well-worn, fuzz’d out-wah glory, the highlights of the evening were the unknown jawns the band has been testing at places like The Eagle, a leather-clad gay biker bar in their hometown of San Francisco. [...] Hats off to Todd P, who, once again, curated a night of near-perfect music from Beach Fossils, Real Estate, Girls and Kurt Vile & the Violators. [2]

Opening with a gorgeous, incredibly surreal version of Michael Jackson’s (R.I.P.) “Heal The World,” it was clear from the get-go that Christopher Owen and Chet White Jr’s band of San Fran pop outsiders were going to deliver on the promise of their incredibly sold out, corsage laden debut 7″ single. [...] While Girls wowed me for the second night, especially their righteous cover of Vivian Girls “Wild Eyes” and Real Estate showed that they just keep getting tighter and tighter, the real surprise of the night was Beach Fossils, whom, despite being a one-man act on record, really fleshed their sound out nicely for the live performance. [...] Keep your eyes peeled on Hooves on the Turf for more great mini-films from Ray Concepcion. [...] While 1108 people (and counting) would lead you to believe that the moon “sucks” and “needs to be blown up”, NASA actually has a pretty decent reason for the bombing: to test and see if water vapor lies under the surface of the moon. [...] The song, which may have been recorded beneath your favorite swimming hole or rock quarry, weaves like Dean Moriarty driving the Pacific Coast highway high as Pimp C on codeine and wine-spodiodi. [...] All the youthful sentiment, love and whispery idealism is wrapped up in a mere 1:25 on “Dailydoms”, one of the finest tracks I’ve heard all summer. [1]

Going into the show I couldn’t help but dread that my first Phoenix show–something I’ve been waiting four years for–would be plagued with the far too familiar stoic hipster crowd (also infected: Silver Jews, Jens Lekman singing DJ, Deerhunter). [2]

Encompassing the hypothetical image of Ray Davies driving a dilapidated soap box up the Pacific Coast Highway to Big Sur, Dylan Shearer sounds world like some Benjamin Button/Jack man-child– world weary, wide-eyed, ambitious, and yet, despite being an “adult,” life is filtered through the half-cocked lens of an all-seeing, all knowing young boy fascinated with caterpillars and salamanders. [1]

Yesterday Pitchfork bestowed a glowing 7.7 on Sharon Van Etten’s goose-bump inducing Because I Was In Love. [...] This morning, just after a coffee/Norse Horse session, I stumbled upon His Clancyness’ cover of Wavves “So Bored” on Pitchfork. [2]

But it does not necessarily mean that vitiligo is the only skin condition responsible for white spots on skin. [1]

Causes: Hypopigmented or white scars can result from any injury, physical, chemical or inflammatory e.g. acne. [1]

Usually, as scars heal they go through several color changes, from reddish to bluish undertones. [5]

Causes: They result from abnormalities in the function of melanocytes which produce little pigment thereby resulting in characteristic white spots in skin. [1]

This program was created to aid the vitiligo patient with funding, when the disease has reached an advanced stage, and multiple regions of the body needs to be camouflaged. [2]
