L’Oréal Group, the world’s largest cosmetics company, deploys retail digital signage that brings next-level beauty to shopping customers.

Globally known for quality, efficacy, and innovation, the L’Oréal Group has been a leading beauty products manufacturer for 112 years. With over 35 internationally known brands such as Maybelline New York, Garnier, Giorgio Armani Beauty, Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, and L’ancome Paris, the L’Oréal Group features a robust portfolio of industry-leading brands that meet the needs of every consumer.

The L’Oréal Group successfully deployed an innovative retail digital signage solution that allowed them to regularly broadcast promotions and enhance consumer interactions with their products.

Using innovative in-store signage, L’Oréal looked to create unique shopping experiences and drive new dynamic sales activities. With hundreds of products spread across store aisles, the signage endpoints needed to be strategically installed on retail shelves to deliver tailored product-specific content. The content management process was required to be efficient while maintaining enterprise-level scalability and control.

After performing an intense pilot that ran across Black Friday, the L’Oréal Group selected SCREENS-TV, a certified NoviSign partner. The final solution consisted of a complete store-wide digital signage upgrade that featured NoviSign’s cloud-based digital signage software and LUXX Light Technologies eShelf Retail Shelf Screens.

To best reach customers with new promotions, sales, and educational content, the majority of static price tags were replaced with screens. This upgrade opened the door to an entirely new way of delivering unparalleled product information directly to customers.

L’Oréal can now directly influence customers’ buying habits from their corporate location using any PC or MAC. By strategically deploying eShelfs across high-traffic aisles, the L’Oréal group can elegantly tell their brand’s story while creating unique and memorable shopping experiences.

From showing fresh and engaging digital media to playing educational content on new products, L’Oréal’s marketing department could remotely create, edit, and send content to the eShelfs using NoviSign’s premier design studio.

The L’Oréal group created immersive content layouts consisting of vivid on-demand, eye-catching commercials, exclusive sales, and visually compelling media promotions. To maximise promotions and streamline planograms, L’Oréal leveraged the built-in scheduling tools for precise content updates to reflect time-sensitive materials’ sale expiration schedules.

The eShelf screens transformed the traditional retail shelves into visually engaging displays, improving customers’ overall shopping experiences. Because of ultra-bright 700 NIT eShelf screens, the L’Oréal group gained unprecedented customer attention to the price tag section of retail displays. This newly found “eye-ball time” gave L’Oréal direct access to customers during critical decision-making moments. When it came to eShelf installation, the screens easily snapped into the existing retail shelf price tag area and were powered with one plug using LUXX’s Power Track system.

LG Higher Ed White Paper Highlights New Digital Signage Applications; Explores Classroom Collaboration, Video Walls and eSports Arenas

Spotlighting the expanding use of digital signage in almost all areas of education, LG Business Solutions USA has released a white paper that provides insight on the cutting-edge ways in which large and small higher education institutions are using digital signage in their classrooms, lobbies and beyond. Entitled “Higher Education Adopts New Display Technology to Enrich Learning,” the ebook is available now for download.

“Widespread use of digital signage throughout higher education is a logical extension of the screen-based ways today’s students learn. More and more, higher education institutions are adopting audiovisual solutions both to compete for prospective attendees and improve their overall offerings,” said David Bacher, head of marketing for LG Business Solutions USA. “As administrators, faculty and students return to campuses across America, this white paper can serve as a resource that shows what’s possible with the latest advances in digital signage technologies.”

In addition to profiling large-scale digital signage implementations at Georgetown University and Caldwell University, the new digital resource delves into timely topics such as collaboration technology in the classroom, large-format videowalls in lobbies and the proliferation of on-campus eSports arenas.

“Display technology continues to evolve so colleges and universities will find new applications and ways to enhance life on campus,” Bacher said. “Higher education institutions now have to reflect the digital world from where their students come. They’re doing so by investing in experiences that meet expectations and create a higher level of engagement across campus.”

D4K40-RGB pure laser projector brings “kinetic wall” to life at Japan’s Kogakuin University

Kogakuin University has deployed a Christie D4K40-RGB 3DLP pure laser projector for large-scale and 3D projection mapping on a “kinetic wall” set up in its atrium as part of the renewal process of its Shinjuku campus.

Jointly delivered and installed in Shinjuku Atrium by Ushio Lighting and CIMA, with planning and direction accomplished by P.I.C.S., the Christie D4K40-RGB delivers big, bright and bold images on the mapping area that includes a “kinetic wall” measuring 16 meters in width and 8.5 meters in height. This “kinetic wall” features 180 modular cubes, each measuring 40 cm, that can be programmed to move back and forth individually. Creative expressions ranging from a highly dynamic wall surface, large-scale and 3D projection mapping, as well as data visualization can be achieved using a combination of video, audio and lighting effects.

Kogakuin University commented, “There is a characteristic open ceiling space up to the 4th floor of the atrium; a place that reflects the ideas of Kogakuin University. Here, members of each faculty express themselves experimentally, as well as generate new ideas and concepts. This ‘kinetic wall’ is an extension of this creative process, and through the combination of various technologies such as 3D projection mapping, new life and energy can be injected into our campus.”

Explaining why the Christie D4K40-RGB is chosen for this facility, the spokesperson said, “It can produce depth of detail on each moving cube without any image mismatch, and delivers bright and lifelike images even in well-lit conditions. As well, the D4K40-RGB’s compact design and quiet operation capabilities makes it stand out from the competition.”

The spokesperson noted that while the Shinjuku Atrium is designated as an ideal location for people to get together, the “kinetic wall” at this venue is not just meant for the permanent installation of projection mapping equipment, but also aimed at enhancing creativity and potential for further development.

“We are using this atrium to stage live streaming events by famous artists and campus-wide digital art competitions. So far, it has surprised, impressed and uplifted the spirits of audiences.

In particular, we are pleased to note that Christie’s D4K40-RGB laser projector will be one of the key devices to take this atrium to the next level. We are currently exploring various ideas, such as using the ‘kinetic wall’ to co-host events with other universities.”

Designed with Christie TruLife electronics and Christie RealLaser illumination, the Christie D4K40-RGB produces greater than 90 percent of the Rec. 2020 colour space for rich, vibrant true-to-life visuals. Since its introduction, it has been embraced by users from all over the world. Mostly notably, more than 250 D4K40-RGB projectors have brought stunning visuals to Al Wasl Plaza’s iconic dome, the venue for Expo 2020 Dubai.

Navori Labs AI Marketing Analytics Software Thu, 25 Feb 2021 02:51:42 +0000 Read more Navori Labs AI Marketing Analytics Software]]>

With nearly 25 years of digital signage innovation, Navori expands into the AI-Computer Vision driven analytics world with Aquaji to help retailers, digital out-of-home (DOOH) networks and other physical businesses measure performance, strengthen operations and improve the customer experience.

Navori Labs launches Aquaji, an AI-driven marketing analytics software that will improve the customer experience in physical environments, including brick and mortar stores, restaurants, and shopping malls, and enhance digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. Aquaji counts unique visitors and gathers demographic data, length of stay, wait time and attention span KPIs over segmented time slots spanning from hours to months. Aquaji helps businesses understand consumer habits and profiles, create new opportunities for growth and profitability through stronger visitor engagement, and support a more thorough business intelligence ecosystem.

The Aquaji launch follows three years of Navori Labs research and development in applied artificial intelligence. The homegrown solution leverages computer vision software to analyse and assess visitor metrics, behavioural patterns and marketing activities in ways that helps businesses better manage their physical spaces. The software differs from existing products by combining the latest mathematical models of computer vision, which improves the accuracy rate for detection from the standard 60 percent to 95 percent.

Aquaji identifies and recognises each visitor while thoroughly protecting visitor anonymity using face and body detection and coding instead of facial recognition. A unique key for each individual, created through aggregate data (attributes), ensures that Aquaji can distinguish between staff and customers, without duplicates or false positives. This provides marketers and store managers with reliable and comparable data to measure performance in physical spaces.

For example, retail chains can apply Aquaji’s rich data to strategise product placement decisions, measure advertising campaign appeal, and allocate human resources assets. The latter is especially useful for adjusting staff allocations based on visitor foot traffic, dwell times, and customer wait times at entrances, in checkout lines and across other locations.

Businesses that monetise their networks with Aquaji, along with their advertisers, also benefit through comprehensive anonymised audience demographic data, visitor attributes, and ad impression metrics that help them precisely calculate efficiency ratios. Aquaji’s native API will also send audience information to programmatic platforms that help advertisers re-evaluate ad content and placement decisions, and access data to feed their internal business intelligence platforms and data science systems for deeper analysis.

Businesses that use Aquaji for marketing analytics have the added benefit of smooth integration with Navori QL digital signage software, a proven enterprise-level solution that powers some of the world’s largest digital out-of-home networks. When paired, businesses can more effectively target the right content for audiences using QL’s context-aware digital signage automation, and make adjustments based on programmed scenarios and live camera feeds.

Aquaji offers quick and simple set up with new or existing security cameras, and is immediately available for cloud deployment. An on-premise version will soon follow, providing users with two affordable and high-performance marketing analytics solutions to serve everything from single-site systems up through to the world’s largest DOOH networks.

Expanded portfolio features easy, customisable setup for variety of indoor settings; Versatile for easy install, Ultra Slim for close up

LG Business Solutions has unveiled two new indoor direct-view light-emitting diode (DVLED) display series, the Versatile LSCA and the Ultra Slim LSCB, which will offer flexible, high-performing and easy-to-install options ideal for indoor environments such as office lobbies, shopping malls, hotels, transit hubs and stadiums.

“Our new Versatile and Ultra Slim displays mark an important expansion of LG’s already robust DVLED offerings, and their introduction is very timely as various indoor venues prepare to engage stakeholders in dramatic ways, post-COVID,” said Dan Smith, vice president, business development, LG Business Solutions USA. “Installers and end-users will find these models offer incredible versatility, easy installation, and minimal maintenance, all with exceptional display performance sure to captivate viewers.”

Both the LSCA and LSCB will ship with LG’s new CVCA controller and webOS Signage platform. This will deliver advanced viewing options from multiple inputs and simpliﬁed system control. LG’s webOS Signage smart platform features a Quad-Core System-on-Chip design that can execute several tasks to provide smooth content playback from baseband-connected high-resolution video sources, the built-in media player, or the built-in video streaming decoder. The controller also has 3.6GB of storage for applications and content and a TV-style remote control with an intuitive user interface that puts system and image control in the palm of your hand.

The Versatile LSCA Series is designed for fixed installation and provides users with a DVLED option ideal for larger public installations and with a viewing distance of 15 feet or more – such as transit hubs, stadiums, and other larger venues – thanks to pixel pitch models of 2.97mm or 3.91mm with a capability of 1,000 nits of brightness. Offered in both 1:1 (500 mm square) and 2:1 (500mm x 1000mm rectangle) cabinet options, the square and rectangle cabinets can be mixed and matched for greater customisation. Magnets on the top and bottom, positioning pins, handles and fast locks on the cabinets help installers easily set up and dismantle without additional tools, features that are especially valuable to installers working with rentals or in staging where fast installation and cleanup is imperative. For easy maintenance or service, the cabinets also offer either front access or rear access, allowing customers to choose installation options according to their environment.

The Ultra Slim LSCB Series – ideal for close-up viewing such as shopping malls, board rooms and hotel lobbies and designed specifically to be flexible for rentals and staging – features three DVLED models with pixel pitches of 1.56mm, 1.88mm and 2.50mm. The display combines an incredibly low-profile and lightweight design with an edge thickness of 37.5mm making it ideal for spaces where space is a concern. The display is capable of 800 nits of brightness and uses the widely used 16:9 aspect ratio, minimising time and costs associated with content redevelopment. The cabinet also offers front servicing, making for easy maintenance. The Ultra Slim LSCB Series is EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) Class B certified, meaning it is not only perfect for industrial environments, but it also passes the even stricter emissions standards for residential areas. Thus, the EMC rating does not limit where the LSCB can be installed.

Each model also has an optional add-on 90-degree corner design feature that minimises discontinuity of content displayed around corners — creating a nearly seamless display connection at wall corners.

Both new series are available with LG’s trio of customer care services:

  • LG ExtendedCare Warranty: LG’s extended warranty which can give up to five years coverage
  • LG ConnectedCare Remote Monitoring: LG’s network-based solution that allows remote system monitoring
  • LG TotalCare Health Checks: LG’s twice-per-year, on-site health check and system inspection

These models also are part of LG’s new pre-configured DVLED display lineup which, for a limited time, includes all three of the above services free of charge.

“LG understands the value it can bring resellers and end-users when working from the consulting stage through to the installation of hardware,” Smith emphasised. “LG has built a dynamic DVLED team that aims to be a partner for our clients, supporting them as needed every step of the way, from providing expert insights into best practices to efficient troubleshooting should any issues arise post-installation.”

LG’s Smallest Pixel Pitch Yet Enhances Visibility; Self-Adhesive Application Makes For Seamless Installation

LG Business Solutions USA introduces the LAT140 Transparent Colour LED Film digital signage display, the latest in a series of products designed to elevate spaces with vivid, flexible signage that can turn virtually any window or glass surface into a canvas for content.

First introduced as a 24mm pixel pitch model, the new 14mm version nearly quadruples the number of pixels in the same space and doubles the brightness generating an incredibly vibrant viewing experience that attracts the attention of passersby, while also displaying a variety of content options, ranging from bold text to head-turning animations and images. The transparent LG LAT140 will provide unlimited opportunities for retailers, offices, transit hubs and more in need of outfitting spaces with an innovative, customisable and unobtrusive signage option.

“Our smallest pixel pitch yet for a Transparent LED Film means more detail for captivating content. Blending into the existing interior design, it’s virtually invisible when turned off,” said Dan Smith, vice president, business development, LG Business Solutions USA. “Once turned on, the bright LEDs with their 125 million colours, create a captivating display that can make large glass walls look virtually opaque at a distance. This works great for conference rooms or other areas that may need temporary privacy.”

The LG Transparent Colour LED film is self-adhesive, so it can be easily attached to surfaces of existing window glass without the need for complex installation — making it ideal for stores, malls, hotels, stadiums and airports to communicate wayfinding and branding messaging in a simple, unique and engaging way. “Installation is truly as easy as peel and stick,” Smith explained. “You peel the LED film off like a sticker and apply it to your desired surface, then connect the power and data cables. It really is that simple to install.”

The size and layout of the film can also be customised to fit into the installation area. Expansion requires merely adding more film in a vertical or horizontal format or cutting them to size in parallel with the bezel. “Before this product introduction, if someone asked me if an LED module could be trimmed, I responded with a resounding no,” Smith said. “But in this case, the film can actually be trimmed down in parallel with the bezel, opening up a whole host of new customisation options.”

Managing display content is made easy with the Control Manager platform. Available on internet-connected devices, users can control content and monitor the status of multiple displays in different locations in real time. This is especially useful for larger installations in which users need to review content before sending it to the display. Control Manager also allows users to adjust and set brightness based on the time of day, so that messaging is not too bright at night or washed out in daylight.

What’s more, the LG Transparent Colour LED film is compatible with webOS Signage, a web-centric platform that makes it easy for system integrators and developers to build web-based solutions according to various environments. By supporting open API and compatibility with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, users can save time and effort creating display content.

“LG Transparent Colour LED Film is customisable and flexible, and it demands the attention of viewers,” Smith concluded. “Lifelike images are now viewable on what was once a plain sheet of glass, sure to wow passersby. This unique transparent digital signage display technology is an enhanced tool for installers, commercial businesses and designers to bring virtually any commercial space to life.”

Digital signage as an internal communication tool reaching more than 1’300 employees across multiple production sites at AGCO

AGCO designs, manufactures, and distributes agricultural machinery and solutions thanks to its unique know-how and renowned brands such as Challenger, Fendt, Valtra, and Massey Ferguson. The company partnered with SpinetiX to equip its engineering and manufacturing centre located in Beauvais, France, the site where Massey Ferguson® tractors are produced. It is the largest AGCO production site in Europe and the most important in France.

The SpinetiX digital signage solution installed was chosen for its intuitiveness and scalability, its ability to easily broadcast information to all employees as well as its flexibility to manage and distribute content centrally across multiple screens without requiring manual updates.

The new installation established itself as the communication platform of choice for transmitting information to more than 1300 employees spread across 3 internal areas in a simple and efficient manner. The benefits are evident in particular for production- line teams who do not otherwise have access to communication tools when at work such as a laptops or company-supplied phones. The solution offered by SpinetiX answered all the end customer’s challenges which included:

  • To help develop a new multi-site internal communication channel and connect all employees, strengthen their sense of belonging and commitment to the company
  • With that, to easily disseminate corporate information and make it accessible to all staff members regardless of their activity within the company
  • To optimize an existing network of displays located across the site
  • To centralize content management with automated and live updates that do not require manual on-site intervention
  • To allow for minimum investment during future system expansions
  • In particular, to have a system that is flexible and scalable enough to meet the current and future needs of the company
  • To offer reliable technology with a proven track record that requires minimal maintenance

In order to meet the requirements of the project, AGCO Group relied on the expertise and support of the SpinetiX team and their complete digital signage solution. The solution includes the cloud-based digital signage platform called SpinetiX ARYA Enterprise, combined with SpinetiX HMP300 media players.

SpinetiX ARYA Enterprise – Cloud-based Visual Communication
Thanks to its intuitive interface, the SpinetiX ARYA Enterprise digital signage cloud platform allows one or more users to create and distribute content in a simple and efficient way on any display part of the installation.

SpinetiX ARYA only requires a internet connection to operate, which makes it easy to use and accessible from anywhere, anytime. It is therefore the ideal platform for users who want to quickly create effective and engaging visual communications.

“We selected SpinetiX specifically because of the SpinetiX ARYA cloud platform. It met our needs because it is intuitive, and therefore easy to adopt and set up content right from the start. In addition, support comes right from within the solution in the form of live chat.”

Anita-Sophie Bado Internal Communication Manager & Local PR, AGCO

SpinetiX HMP300 players – Robust, secure, and easy to install
25 SpinetiX HMP300 players are installed across three sites to distribute information from the head office to employees. The displays of varying brands and types are located in a number of workspaces and, in particular, in the remote production line site which is located far from the management office building.

The SpinetiX HPM300 players are perfectly suited to meet the most demanding digital signage applications and were selected by AGCO for their high reliability and robustness. The SpinetiX players provide 24/7 secure operation, thanks to their plug-and-play design and lack of moving parts. Combined with the SpinetiX ARYA Enterprise cloud platform, they provide the ease of use and flexibility that the end user needs to distribute content to multiple remote sites from a centralised location.

Create attractive visual experiences to promote team engagement
The main objective of the digital signage installation at the AGCO group’s engineering and manufacturing centre is to enable all employees, and more particularly those working at the several remote production sites, to receive information transmitted by management. The SpinetiX digital signage installation connects all teams through quality internal communication that strengthens team spirit and allows everyone to feel part of the broader team and company.

From corporate communication to targeted on-site information
The AGCO Group has a corporate TV channel on which a communications manager in charge of content broadcasts messages transmitted globally to all teams and sites. This ranges from general institutional information, to brand- and new-product information, to messages intended for visitors, to safety instructions in compliance with protocols in force during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When deploying the digital signage solution, AGCO realised that in addition to this general information transmitted to all sites, it would be relevant to use the network of screens to broadcast targeted departmental communication such as scheduled meetings and other information internal to each department/site. The SpinetiX solution installed at AGCO perfectly meets this new company need with the user-roles management feature of SpinetiX ARYA where a representative from each department has editing rights to the respective targeted content. AGCO refers to these representatives as “communication ambassadors”.

With SpinetiX ARYA, communication ambassadors can create specific content with photos or videos directly related to their department and publish it on the displays part of their particular site complementing the already existing sequence of global corporate content.

Flexible digital signage technology
Before the deployment of the SpinetiX digital signage solution, the AGCO Group already had a communication system that consisted of a network of screens but used it on a limited scale. The installation in place required manual per-screen updates via USB keys. This complicated the dissemination and update of information, making this communication channel inefficient.

Thanks to its flexibility, the SpinetiX digital signage solution made it possible to optimise the network of screens already in place and to centralise content creation, update, and distribution.

A scalable solution that adapts to the needs of the end customer
The scalability of SpinetiX digital signage technology allows the installation to evolve according to the needs of the end user. The end customer can easily update the installation, add new features or new content, appoint new content managers without having to change hardware or the cloud platform. AGCO can easily expand the network if necessary, with more players or add more people responsible for the content. On the content side, the SpinetiX ARYA platform takes care of newly implemented features and security updates on a regular basis.

Digital signage for all employees throughout the site

AGCO’s engineering and manufacturing centre includes administrative offices and several remote production sites that now benefit from communication coming directly form the headquarters.

Production line
Communication displayed on screens allows employees working on production lines and away from management to have quick and easy access to company information without having additional communication tools and without having to be physically present in the office.

Break areas
Employee break areas have screens conveniently located near coffee machines. Employees therefore benefit from live information when going to these spaces during breaks.

Reception areas
Welcome screens located throughout the office buildings conveniently display the name and photo of guests and their appointments next to corporate and safety information.

A system that helps corporate culture transpire
The SpinetiX digital signage installation at AGCO’s engineering and manufacturing centre creates a coherent internal communications channel for all employees regardless of the department in which they work. The flexible and dynamic content distribution system based on the SpinetiX ARYA cloud platform allows multiple users to easily create and distribute information from the head office to all sites regardless of geographical distance.

Employees particularly appreciate this new communication channel as it provides them with real-time flow of information. Communication is now more fluid between employees of different departments despite the distance between sites and this has helped strengthen the feeling of cohesion and team spirit in the organisation as a whole. The locations where the screens are installed allow employees to have access not only to information, but also to meet and discuss together.

Evolving according to company needs
The scalability of the solution is such that the system can easily evolve according to the needs of the organisation. AGCO plans to add a fourth production site in Beauvais, France in the future which would ultimately require for more screens. Regardless of the number of newly added displays, the centralised content management foundation of the system provided by SpinetiX ARYA Enterprise remains the same. This greatly simplifies future deployments. In addition, as desired by the company, the cloud-based solution SpinetiX ARYA makes it easy to create targeted department-based content and add multiple users responsible for content management as needed.

Minimal maintenance
The SpinetiX HMP digital signage players installed at AGCO sites are specially designed for digital signage applications requiring a high level of security and reliability. They are easy to install and maintenance is minimal thanks to a robust design dedicated to signage. In addition, the SpinetiX ARYA cloud platform does not require any on- site maintenance by the end user. New functionalities and maximum uptime are managed remotely by SpinetiX engineers.

This LP compiles 26 tracks total, 6 of which are previously unreleased — all faithfully restored from the original master tapes at Inner Ear .

Store Update: Ian Svenonius - The Psychic Soviet

Ian Svenonius - The Psychic Soviet

A new, expanded collection of essays and articles from one of the mainstays of the Washington, DC, underground rock and roll scene, The Psychic Soviet is Ian F. Svenonius’s groundbreaking first book of writings. The selections are written in a lettered yet engaging style, filled with parody and biting humor that subvert capitalist culture, and cover such topics as the ascent of the DJ as a star, the “cosmic depression” that followed the defeat of the USSR, how Seinfeld caused the bankruptcy of modern pop culture, and the status of rock and roll as a religion. The pocket-sized book is bound with a durable bright-pink plastic cover, recalling the aesthetics of Mao’s Little Red Book, and perfect for carrying into the fray of street battle, classroom, or lunch-counter argument.

Store Update: Too Much - Club Emotion LP

Too Much - Club Emotion (LP)

Club Emotion is the full-length debut album by dance-floor duo, Too Much (Ian Svenonius, Rich Morel). Nine songs of pure ecstasy that are perfectly suited for the club, the car or the closet. Too Much is a new kind of group; they aren’t your typical music industry malcontents.

Store Update: Amateur On Plastic (a Film about Butch Willis)

Butch Willis - Amateur On Plastic (a Film about Butch Willis)

A documentary film from Mark Robinson (Unrest, Teen-Beat), about his favorite rock star, Butch Willis.

Amateur On Plastic also parallels the 1990's era of seminal indie record label Teen-Beat. Behind-the-scenes glimpses of the label's concerts and private parties provide much of the background and feature members of the bands Unrest, Versus, Tuscadero and more.

Store Update: Blacks' Myths - S/T (LP)

Blacks' Myths - S/T (LP)

Originally released on cassette, Atlantic Rhythms has now reissued Blacks' Myths debut full-length on LP. The D.C.-based duo -- Luke Stewart (bass) and Warren G. "Trae" Crudup III (drums) -- perform sublime rhythm section music composed via free improvisation. Two years down the line, it's still fresh and elegantly spaced-out music. Not to be missed by those who ride with Irreversible Entanglements, Makaya McCraven, and the International Anthem roster.

Store Update: Blacks' Myths - Blacks' Myths II

Blacks' Myths - Blacks' Myths II

The second full-length by Washington, D.C.-based duo, Blacks' Myths, who are bassist Luke Stewart (Low Ways Quartet, Irreversible Entanglements) and Warren G. Crudup. 13 tracks of blistering noise and rhythmic improvisation augmented via monologues from poet, professor, and Sun Ra-scholar Thomas Stanley. Recorded during a single marathon session in the summer of 2019 and out via Atlantic Rhythms. Recommended!

Store Update: Dead Meadow - Feathers

Dead Meadow - Feathers

A reissue of D.C.-bred heavy rock/psych band Dead Meadow's fourth album (fifth, if you count that one live record), Feathers. Originally released on Matador in 2005, Feathers found the band -- now a quartet with the addition of guitarist Cory Shane -- supplementing its churning riffs with heady atmospherics and effects, evoking Black Sabbath and also, somehow, Slowdive. Arriving via the band's own Tekeli-Li imprint, this double LP is an exact replica of the original pressing and comes with a supplementary CD of demos, rarities, and alternate mixes. Recommended.

Store Update: Soulside - Washington DC 1986-1989

Soulside - Soulside - Washington DC 1986-1989

A complete history of Washington, D.C. punk band Soulside as told through photos, flyers, and ephemera compiled by drummer Alexis Fleisig.

Store Update: Cigarette

Cigarette - Light Blues

Light Blues is the long-in-the-works debut LP by DC-based quartet, Cigarette. Tuneful, moody, and pastoral songs with slow tempos and gallons of reverb. Recorded by Devin Ocampo (Faraquet) and mixed by Ben Green, the record follows the self-released Gush EP (2012) and a single, Warm Shadows/Love's Mirror, for Sister Polygon (2015). Recommended.

Store Update: Mourning [a] BLKstar

Mourning [a] BLKstar - Garner Poems

Ten compositions by Cleveland, Ohio's afrofuturist/neo soul collective, Mourning [a] BLKstar. A blend of lo-fi experimination, hip hop production, and call and response melody performed by a group that -- depending on the performance -- includes three singers, two horns, guitar, and two drummers. Released by Washington, D.C.'s Electric Cowbell Records in 2018.

Store Update: Des Demonas

Des Demonas - Bay of Pigs b/w Skrewz

Two new tunes by Washington, D.C. all-star garage rock crew, Des Demonas. Features members of Hammered Hulls, Foul Swoops, and Kid Congo Powers & the Pink Monkey Birds. A-side "Bay of Pigs" is an organ drenched derge that evokes The Fall or, maybe, a Jonathan Fire*Eater deep cut. At any rate, it's an excellent addendum to the band's debut LP, which arrived last year via In the Red Records.

Store Update: Indian Summer (DC/VA)

Indian Summer - Cherry Smash

Four songs by late 80s Northern Virginia/DC punk quartet, Indian Summer. While these songs were put to tape in 1989 by J Robbins, this is the first time they have been available on vinyl with an additional demo. Though short-lived, the band was a regular in the local all-ages scene in 1988 and 1989, playing Merrifield Community Hall, Arlington Women’s Hall and many a punk house party, a Positive Force show at d.c. space, and some of the first all-ages matinees at the Safari Club. Members would go on to join Chisel, Pelt, and Edsel.

Store Update: The Mercury Program, Salad Days

The Mercury Program - A Data Learn the Language

A reissue of The Mercury Program’s much-loved double LP, A Data Learn the Language. First released in 2002, the record went quickly out of print on vinyl and has remained extremely hard to find. Now reissued by Lovitt Records, this version has been recut by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service and pressed on 180 gram black vinyl with a gatefold sleeve. Warm, melodic, minimalist instrumental music with a dialed-in rhythm section.

V/A - Salad Days Soundtrack

Store Update: Escape-Ism

Escape-Ism - The Lost Record

Less than a year after the release of his solo debut LP, Introduction to Escape-Ism, Ian Svenonius returns with The Lost Record. From the man himself: "Without the high-octane hype machine of the mind-control minstrels who hypnotize the hapless through the mass media, The Lost Record is bound for inevitable obscurity, but—with its timeless tunes, poignant message, and innovative sound—rediscovery and immortal status is equally assured!" 11 songs stuffed with vintage Svenonian observations, critiques, and rants set to retro-futuristic skronk.

Store Update: Des Demonas

Des Demonas - S/T

The debut LP by D.C.'s own Des Demonas. Excellent Farfisa-driven garage rock dirges that bring to mind the Fall and maybe even, at times, Jonathan Fire*Eater. Features an stellar lineup of local lifers, including members of Kid Congo Powers & the Pink Monkey Birds, Foul Swoops, and Measles Mumps Rubella. Recommended!

Store Update: Black's Myths

Black's Myths - S/T

Hypnotic bass and percussion compositions from Washington, D.C.'s Luke Stewart (Low Ways Quartet, Irreversible Entanglements) and Warren G. Crudup III. Long-form improvisations that are alternately serene and heavy, heady and visceral. Out via Atlantic Rhythms, who have also released tapes by Arto Lindsay and Curved Light.

Store Update: Dead Meadow

Dead Meadow - The Nothing They Need

The seventh full-length studio album by Los Angeles-based/D.C.-bred psych-rock trio, Dead Meadow. Released on the eve of the band's 20th anniversary, the record includes performances by a number of Dead Meadow alumni, including guitarist Cory Shane and drummers Mark Laughlin and Stephen McCarty. Recommended.

Store Update: Bat Fangs

Bat Fangs - S/T

The debut record by Washington, D.C./Carrboro, NC duo Bat Fangs, who are Betsy Wright (Ex Hex) and Laura King (Flesh Wounds). High energy 80's riff-rock distressed using lo-fi psych and garage moves.

Store Update: Paramount Styles

Paramount Styles - Distant Karma

New music from former Soulside/Girls Against Boys members, Scott McCloud and Alexis Fleisig. A familiar sense of melody/rhythm presented via a slightly more subdued setup, often driven by acoustic guitar and drums.

Store Update: Smart Went Crazy

Smart Went Crazy - Con Art 20th Anniversary Edition

This is a limited edition 2xLP reissue of Smart Went Crazy's second and final album, Con Art, which was first released in 1997 by Dischord. The original vinyl version of the record was a single LP and, due to space constraints, omitted a number of songs that were included on the CD. This reissue has been remastered from the original source tapes, pressed to clear vinyl, and also restores the complete track listing (with a few extras thrown in).

Store Update: Backflip Book

Punk the Capital - Backflip Book

A flipbook capturing Bad Brains' singer HR executing a perfectly-timed backflip during a 1980 performance at Washington, D.C.'s 930 Club. The images in the book are frames from Paul Bishow's Super-8 feature film, Wet Streets at Night, and will be featured in Bishow and James Schneider's forthcoming documentary, Punk the Capital.

Store Update: Object Collection

Object Collection - It's All True

It's All True is an "opera-in-suspension" developed by the New York-based ensemble Object Collection. Created by composer Travis Just and writer/director Kara Feely, the work is formed entirely from incidental music, text, and sounds drawn from Fugazi's Live Series archive (none of the band's actual songs are included). Available on CD and LP via Slip Records.

Object Collection - Prisons For Profit

A 7" single, Prisons For Profit is the companion release to Object Collection's It's All True and features three songs that were not included on the album.

Store Update: Big Hush, Bless

Big Hush - Spirit/Wholes

This LP compiles the first two cassette EPs by Washington, D.C. quartet, Big Hush. The music draws some inspiration from '90s shoegaze/indie-pop, but the songs also have a wobbly/ungridded sense of rhythm that's very much unique to the band (in a cool way). Features members Pygmy Lush and Flasher. Recommended!

Bless - Yr Always On TV

New 3-song single by Bless, which is made up of folks from Cool People, Flasher, and Big Hush. Excellent jittery and manic garage/pop songs that at times recall early Devo. Also recommended!

Store Update: Snail Mail

Snail Mail - Habit

The six-song debut EP by Baltimore-area singer/songwriter Lindsey Jordan (aka Snail Mail), who was still a high school student at the time of this recording. Teenage melancholy and open tuned guitars. "Thinning" is the "hit," but they're all keepers. Originally released last year on cassette, the EP has now been pressed on vinyl by Sister Polygon Records.

Store Update: Cool Moon

Cool Moon - Post Party Depression

The debut album by Houston, TX trio Cool Moon. A record of loud and heartfelt rockers from former D.C. resident and Del Cielo (Lovitt Records) member Andrea Lisi. You can read a short interview with the band and preview a track here.

Flasher - Winnie b/w Burn Blue

Two new songs by Washington, D.C. trio Flasher. A forward move from their previous EP in terms of arrangement and home studio know-how. A-side is quick and catchy while the flip goes long and woozy.

Puff Pieces - Born 2 Die

A new song and a remix by Washington, D.C. trio Puff Pieces (ex-Antelope). The A-side was recorded by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios.

Three Factors to Consider When Choosing a Frying Pan

In any kitchen, frying is one of the most common tasks and you should make sure that you use the right kind of pan. Here are things to consider:

  1. Materials: Frying pans can be made from various materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium and copper alloy. In general, the best pan is if it’s made from different layers. As an example, the outer layer can be made from stainless steel that is resistant to scratching and easy to clean. The inner layer can be made from copper to improve the heat distribution across the cooking surface. If your budget is limited, you may purchase aluminium pans. However, you should know that aluminium dents and bends easily. Alternatively, you should choose hard anodized aluminium pans, which are much tougher. Aluminum conducts heat easily and it is an energy saving material. It will also cool down relatively faster. When choosing non stick coating for your pan, make sure that it won’t compromise your health. It’s true that choosing the right cookware can shorten the cooking time, but it doesn’t mean that you should jeopardize your health. Remember that the coating isn’t the actual pan itself. No matter how durable it is, the coating will wear off and you may risk contaminating your food. So, you need to be particularly careful with your selection. Cast iron frying pans are the traditional selections and they can be among the most durable in the market. However, cast iron pans can be quite delicate, especially if you don’t use them for a long time. When storing iron cast pans, make sure that they are completely dry. Coat them lightly with oil and wrap twice inside air tight plastic bags. This will prevent corrosion and rust from developing. In fact, iron cast pans will last longer if you use and clean them regularly.
  2. Size: We can find different sizes of frying pans, between 4 inch and 14 inch. A general purpose frying pan should be about 10 inch in diameter. It should be big enough to accommodate four chicken breasts or a couple of sausages along with a sunny side up. You should know that it takes more energy to heat up a bigger pan, so you should save by choosing a smaller pan. Also, a bigger pan will likely have an uneven heat distribution. It will take too much effort to check frequently whether your food has been properly cooked.
  3. Handle and knob: Pans typically don’t include a lid. However, if you want to sauté something, you should have a lid. The lid should be slightly deeper and wider than the frying pan. It’s a good idea to choose a heat-resistant and transparent lid, so you can check whether you food has been properly cooked. Also, the lid will trap more heat and steam, which will allow you to cook the food faster. Moisture won’t evaporate too soon, before your food is fully cooked. Choosing the right kind of pan will be a great thing, so you can speed up the cooking process.

Housing News Digest, May 7

Todays Homes lays off all employees, fate of oversize townhomes unknown The local homebuilding company Todays Homes laid off all of its local employees Friday, leaving the fate of three oversized townhomes the company had pledged to move up in the air, along with dozens of other properties.

Scott Vaughan, who had been the sales manager for Todays Homes, said he didn't know what would happen to the company's properties and that it would be up to Todays Homes' parent company, Unity Builders Group of Calgary, Canada, to work with the city and homeowners on unfinished projects.

Eviction Follows Attempt To Occupy Home By Non-Owner
DENVER (CBS4) - A family that had been living inside a million dollar home with lavish furnishings has been evicted by the Douglas County Sheriff’s department following a court order.
Their action appears to be a part of a scheme involving the occupation of many homes under foreclosure in Colorado, uncovered by CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger.

Lower vacancy, higher rents good for apartment owners
The lower apartment vacancy rates and higher rents reported in last week’s survey from the Colorado Division of Housing are good for apartment property owners, industry insiders say. The report found an average city-wide vacancy rate of 6.4 percent. While that was a higher than the first quarter of 2011 when vacancies reached a 10-year low ...

Sharp rise in metro Denver rents in Q1 Rents at metro Denver apartments jumped 4.5 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the biggest year-over-year increase in a decade, according to a report Tuesday from the Apartment Association of Metro Denver . Average rent for seven counties portion of metro Denver area stood at $952 in the first quarter, up from $911 in the first quarter of 2011, the report stated.

Rent rising in metro Denver as vacancies fall Rent rising in metro Denver as vacancies fall DENVER — Thousands of apartment renters across the Denver area are getting the news that their next rent check will cost a little more. According to the Apartment Association of Metro Denver and the Colorado Division of Housing, the average rent in the metro area rose to $952 in first quarter of this year from last year’s first quarter average of $911. It’s really just a matter of supply and demand. There are far fewer vacancies available and far more people looking to rent. And that means landlords can charge a lot more for their properties.

Dodgers 2014 Player Reviews: Chone Figgins

[new_royalslider id=”70″]
With the Los Angeles Dodgers needing to replace utility players Jerry Hairston Jr., Nick Punto, Skip Schumaker and Michael Young from their 2013 roster, they signed Chone Figgins to a Minor-League deal that included an invitation to Spring Training.

Figgins was released by the Miami Marlins in March of last year and sat out the entirety of the 2013 season. He was named to the All-Star team in 2009 and turned that into a four-year, $36 million contract with the Seattle Mariners, who designated him for assignment, which led to Figgins briefly joining the Marlins.

Despite hitting just .171 in Spring Training, Figgins made the travel roster for Australia — likely a result of him leading the team with nine walks and ability to play multiple positions. Figgins remained on the Major-League roster when the Dodgers returned stateside and spent late-April in the Minors.

The 36-year-old returned in May and was a mainstay on the bench before landing on the disabled list in June with a hip flexor that was initially diagnosed as a quad strain. After completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, the Dodgers either needed to add him to the 25-man roster or designate him for assignment and they opted for the latter.

One week after that decision was made, the Dodgers released the veteran utility player. Figgins appeared in 38 games this season (.217 batting average in 60 at-bats) and routinely showed a knack for reaching base via a walk. Arguably, Figgins’ greatest impact on the team was his mentoring of Dee Gordon.

2014 Highlight

The Dodgers hosted the Detroit Tigers for a two-game set in early April in what some pegged as a potential World Series preview. The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning but the Tigers quickly tied it in the second.

Kenley Jansen blew the save opportunity in the ninth and the teams played into extra innings. Figgins pinch-hit for J.P. Howell in the 10th and drew a leadoff walk and he then scored the winning run on Carl Crawford’s double into left field.

2015 Outlook

It’s conceivable, though not likely Figgins could sign a similar contract as he did with the Dodgers in 2014 and once again play his way onto a Major-League roster.

Book Spotlight: Making Rules by Susan Hawke

Making Rules
(Davey's Rules #4.5)
by Susan Hawke
Date Released: February 20, 2020

About Making Rules
Davey’s Rule #53: Daddy shouldn’t be afraid to let his boy top.
Before Davey came to work at Daddy’s Lap and began that crazy list of rules, his future bestie, Sammy, was already living happily ever after with his own Daddy-dom. From the moment they met over a gas pump to the day they were legally able to wed, leather Daddy Raphael Robustelli adored his linebacker-sized boy. This is their love story, as seen through a series of six short vignettes. Witness the moment they met, see the first time Davey came to the club, and so much more. This is a short 20k volume, filled with emotion and backstory for the entire series.

NOTE: This is not a full-length book and does not contain a new couple. This can be read as a standalone but will be most enjoyed by those who have read the series.

This is the sixth book in a series about not-so-perfect Daddies, adorable “boys,” and one sassy brat with an insane list of rules. Grab your fan and tissues because this series comes with both a high heat advisory and all the squishy feels you’d want from a Susan Hawke book.

An Excerpt from Making Rules
Leaning against my truck bed while the gas pumped, I frowned at my phone in irritation when I got the text. I couldn’t believe the jerk was canceling the first date I’d had in forever. I didn’t care as much about not going out with the guy, but I’d switched shifts to accommodate his schedule. I loved working as a trainer, but I preferred the morning crowd. The night crowd tended to be more of a meat market than people actually looking to get fit.

“Bad news?” I glanced up at the sound of a gruff voice. The hottest man I’d ever seen was on the other side of the pump, holding the nozzle to the front of his Harley. When I didn’t answer, he held up a hand with a chagrined look. “Sorry. Too nosy for my own good, I suppose. It just seems a shame to see a frown on such a pretty face.”

Pretty face? The hell? I wasn’t offended so much as surprised to hear a tough-looking guy in leather call me that. Usually, those were the kind of men who’d knock a guy out if they even smelled a hint of gay on him. This guy, though… he was checking me out, and I didn't hate it.

I took a moment to look him up and down. Damn. He wasn’t one who would ever be called pretty. Sexy, hot, gorgeous… maybe even a little scary in a good way. Hell, yeah. He was at least an inch or two taller than my own six foot four and possibly even had me beat in weight and bulk, which was saying a lot.

But yet… I wasn’t afraid of him. I sensed a gentleness about him, although maybe that was just because he’d called me pretty. I realized I’d been staring too long and faked a cough before I rambled out an info dump that was way too much information to share with a random stranger, let alone some biker who was eyeing me like candy. “

Ah, um… no, not bad news. My date for tomorrow just canceled on me, but I wasn’t invested, so it’s cool. It would’ve been fun to go out, but whatever. No, I just wished I hadn’t switched my shifts at work for tomorrow. I hate the jerks who come in at night. That's why I work days. But my date could only meet during the time I’d normally be working. Annnd I’m talking too much. Sorry. Careful, next I’ll be telling you about how I got bullied in high school. Which is probably related directly to why I hate the jerks on the night shift at work. Stupid meatheads.”

White teeth gleamed as he threw his head back to laugh. “You’re too much. I love it. Don’t apologize for opening up. I’m fascinated.” He pulled the nozzle out of his tank and went about finishing up while he talked. “Let me see if I can get this right.”

About Susan Hawke
As an avid reader and big romance fan myself, I love sharing the stories of the different people who live in my imagination. My stories are filled with humor, a few tears, and the underlying message to not give up hope, even in the darkest of times, because life can change on a dime when you least expect it. This theme comes from a lifetime of lessons learned on my own hard journey through the pains of poverty, the loss of more loved ones than I'd care to count, and the struggles of living through chronic illnesses. Life can be hard, but it can also be good! Through it all I've found that love, laughter, and family can make all the difference, and that's what I try to bring to every tale I tell.

I'm a happily married mom with one snarky teenage boy, and three grown "kids of my heart." I'm more widely known for my mpreg writings as Susi Hawke; this new name is a departure from that. Whether written by Susan or Susi, the books are filled with that all-important love, laughter, and family I mentioned; the only difference is that this name has no male pregnancy. I look forward to sharing my stories with you, and to bringing more romance and laughter into this world that needs it so very badly.

Someone has been farting up a storm at school and everyone thinks Keith Emerson is to blame. Unfortunately for Keith, it has earned him the nickname "S.B.D." (silent but deadly). To make matters worse, Keith's dad is a self proclaimed "Fart Machine" who really stinks it up at home. With the science fair quickly approaching, Keith decides he has had enough. He comes up with a science fair project idea to turn the foul smell of human gas into something sweet smelling. The idea lands him in the principal's office, and in big trouble with his mom. With the help of his little sister Emma, his dad, his crazy grandma, and Benjamin Franklin (great American scientist), Keith will attempt to make the greatest scientific discovery of all time, the cure for the common fart.

                This is a book that I would recommend to younger readers that enjoy a good laugh. This book is a quick and interesting read, and I can't wait to check out book two.

                  Sweet Farts by Raymond Bean is a little hilarious. The book is amazing though and to me it is very creative of a book. Characters are very cool. Reading this book is really comfortable for me. I recommend this book a lot.

                      There is a farting case at school and it is being blamed on Keith. People start calling him S.B.D. (silent - but - deadly). His dad starts farting al yon at home too. I didn't really love this book so much but my younger sister did.
