Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
List Price: $18.98
Sale Price: $8.10

Named in honor of the three-word codes used by short-wave radio operators, Wilco's fourth album sounds like a late-night broadcast of some weirdly wonderful pop station punctuated by static and the sonic bleed of competing signals. Songs that begin with simple, elegiac grace--"Ashes of American Flags" and "Poor Places"--end in a cathartic squall of distortion. The results can be initially jarring, but it's these tracks more than the sturdy jangle pop of "Kamera" or "Heavy Metal Drummer" that demand, and reward, repeated listens. Mixed by studio experimentalist Jim O'Rourke and produced by the band, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot harkens back to a time when the words "pop" and "sonic adventurism" weren't mutually exclusive. The Beatles and Kurt Cobain knew this, and clearly so do Jeff Tweedy and company. --Keith Moerer

Sleep Through The Static
List Price: $13.98
Sale Price: $7.84
|
|
|
Jack Johnson recorded his fourth album using nothing but solar power. This is somehow fitting for a singer-songwriter, surfer, and filmmaker who spends most of his days floating in the ocean under Hawaii's open skies. The forces of nature certainly seem to have found their way into the mellow grooves of standout tracks like "What You Thought You Need," "Adrift," and "Go On," songs so lovely and effortless that you can almost hear the melodies coming to Johnson on a warm breeze that rustles through the coconut trees. Sleep Through the Static documents his best work to date, even better than the Curious George soundtrack. The sedate singer transforms the acoustic campfire strums of the past into sublime, soulful ruminations on his wife, kids, and the state of the world. He even manages to conjure up some real anger on the title track, which is hardly diminished by its lavish grooves and glistening harmonies. --Aidin Vaziri

American Life by Madonna (2003) - Enhanced
List Price: $7.98
Sale Price: $3.36
|
|
|
Judging by her current pose, the Material Girl has mutated into the Military Girl. Indeed, this time out Madonna launches an assault on the miscalculations of her past while also airing her grievances with a troubled world. Madonna has always jumped on trends, but, for the first time, she leaps and falls as she revisits the minimalist synth-pop that she helped define in the `80s and raps like Debbie Harry about lattes and nannies. She also divulges career and personal missteps that her audience recognized all along, and had already forgiven--or embraced. With the exception of the entrancing Bond film theme "Die Another Day," the music doesn't measure up to 1999's Ray of Light and '00's Music. And while Madonna has never been a stunning wordsmith, there is a distinction between the introspection on those albums and the self-absorption of American Life; the lyrics here often put one in mind of a cathartic letter one writes but never mails. --Beth Massa

Why Most Traditional Martial Arts are Outdated
There was a time when the karate man was looked upon with respect and feared. A time when, if someone said they were a black belt, it caused others to be impressed. You can say that karate has become outdated. But what has really happened is that karate has become exposed. There has been an interesting development in the martial arts in the late 20th Century and into the 21st. Martial arts have evolved and become much more true to life than ever.
If you are one of those people who like to question things then maybe this thought has gone through your mind. Why are there so many different martial arts systems in the world. We all have two arms and two legs don't we? So why all the different systems of self defense? I know that systems were usually born out of a need such as one group of people having to fight another group who were better armed. So they developed systems to fight those men who used certain weapons a certain way. Unfortunately these men thought their system more effectual than they should.
So let's look at what we have in the world without going into a deep history lesson. You basically have karate and ju-jitsu from Okinawa and Japan. You have a multitude of kung fu systems from China. You have Tae Kwon Do and a few others like Tang Soo Do from Korea; boxing and wrestling from Europe of course. Of these there is every variation under the sun. You name it and someone has tried to develop it into a fighting system. But what do we really have. The fact is that all we really have is three men out there. It all boils down to THREE. You have boxers or people who fight predominantly with their hands, kickers who like to use kicks as their main weapon and grapplers who like to take people to the ground and finish them there. That's really it. Just those three. Now there are people who are good at one, two or even three of those methods. Those guys are now known as mixed martial artists.
Someone once asked, what is truth? I think we can ask that same question here. I mean how can the average guy deal with someone who is skilled in one or even three of the main fighting methods? You know, the grappler who can kick and box. If the guy is good at all three methods then do I have to be good at all three methods, too? Do I have to fight in the same manner? I know karate won't do the job. Definitely Tae Kwon Do will not do. How about adding a self defense class or two. Will that help? I don't think so. What about kung fu and all the various animal styles? No. You can pretend to be an animal but that won't beat the skilled boxer, kicker, grappler. So how do we deal with this guy. It can't be using his own methods. You can't box a boxer and expect to win if he's really good at what he does. Let's just assume this guy is a really good mixed martial artist who happens to be a thug and wants to rob and maybe even kill you. What's the answer if you don't have a weapon at hand?
The answer is elementory yet intricate. In order to effectively deal with a skilled thug you must first put away all your preconceived ideas about what real combat is. Forget the ring. Forget what you see on TV. How can an older man; say middle-aged, defend against a group of younger, stronger and faster opponents. It will not be by speed and power. If he is to win; and he must, he has to do something all together different. Yes the older man is a master of self-defense. But his system is highly evolved. He relies on a core group of concepts rather than techniques. Of course he uses proper technique but it is all grounded in his core principals. He also has the amazing ability to fight in a very apropos manner because he is guided by highly developed contact reflexes. In other words, if he is touched by an aggressor, the older man instantly knows all about him and deals with him in proper time with super preparatory application. That means he stops the first attack and all future attacks immediately. He also uses skeletal alignment to enhance his power. He is able to hit much harder than his younger counterparts who use muscle to deliver their blows. The skilled older man delivers his strikes with his bones which feels like being hit with the end of an iron rod.
The answer is to unite with the opponent's energy. No struggling or resisting but moving according to "the now". To be able to discharge a highly potent "motion martial art". Not static or choppy, muscular movements but relaxed yet aligned motions that can deal with an attack as if it were just a crude language. Yes, the answer is to have a highly developed and fluent martial language as a complete and elaborate communication. Yes, self defense can be like this. The only martial art I know that achieves this elevated dexterity is Wing Chun.
If a person truly dedicates him or herself to only doing and developing a system that is fit for the 21st Century real world self defense, then he must use external defenses guided by internal faculty. A system that encompasses the most effective techniques a person can deliver with the most advanced internal concepts one can make manifest. Now I mentioned Wing Chun earlier but not every Wing Chun teacher has developed in this manner or to this level. It is rare to find people who have this high level skill. But they are out there.
If you really want to get involved with a martial art and want to find verity, then take a few steps back. Get back far enough away from what is traditionally known and taught. Take an honest look around and see if the martial art before you justifies itself intellectually. Ask the hard questions. Will it work against the boxer, kicker, grappler guy? Can it be done effortlessly? What makes the most sense? Study and do research before you join a school. I can tell you right now, forget karate and Tae Kwon Do unless you just want to do a sport. Don't be too reverent with any martial art system. Be honest with yourself and hopefully you'll find a good teacher.

What are the correct lyrics of "Nice Piece of Art" by FM Static?
when I search for it on google, the chorus says "You make me feel like I'm a lavender sweater," and then skip a line and the rhyme is "In my Volkswagen Jetta"
but it sounds like "you make me feel like I'm eleven to twelve" and "and my boat's weighing down"
any help?
Well I've checked 3 different websites and all of them have the same lyrics. (meaning all of them say the " lavender sweater" and " Volkswagen Jetta"
here are the lyrics
I've tried not to let anyone in until now,
I guess conversations never allow.
And I've been feeling like I'm on some
sort of merry go round.
And I know. Yeah I know. I know.
And I've tried not to let anyone in until now,
It took time for me to figure it out.
And when I feel like I'm complacent
with my head in the clouds, I know
I know, yeah I know, I know
And every time I wonder what's real
you make me feel
You make me feel, like a lavender sweater,
When I'm caught in bad weather, in my
Volkswagen Jetta. You make me feel like a
complete work of art, When I'm just falling apart.
A really nice piece of art...
Dear God, I hope you hear me...
I've tried not to let anyone in until now.
Misunderstandings are an easy way out.
AndI've been feeling this pressure just
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/ewm ]
to figure it out.
And I know that if I just stay strong I can make it,
and try harder when I just can't
take and when everything
around me feels so broken and jaded, I know, I know
yeah I know, I know
And every time I wonder what's real
you make me feel
You make me feel, like a lavender sweater,
When I'm caught in bad weather, in my
Volkswagen Jetta. You make me feel like a
complete work of art, When I'm just falling apart.
A really nice piece of art...
It's kinda warped but it's picking up slowly,
I don't know, but I can if you'll show me,
I guess sometimes it takes more than
just fake conversations,
to feel like I know that,
It's kind of hard when I'm planning for something
to get across this hole without jumping
I guess sometimes it takes more than false information
to find out who we are...
You make me feel, like a lavender sweater,
When I'm caught in bad weather, in my
Volkswagen Jetta. You make me feel like a
complete work of art, When I'm just falling apart.
A really nice piece of art...
