Article 9
Least Concern, μία υπόγεια διαδρομή σχεδόν τεσσάρων χρόνων, γεμάτη από δημιουργία, πρόβες και ηχογραφήσεις ολοκληρώνεται επιτέλους.
Ο Μάιος του 2018, ακριβώς ένα χρόνο μετά τη διάκρισή τους σε διαγωνισμό συγκροτημάτων, μήνας ορόσημο για τη μπάντα, συνοδεύεται από τη πρώτη και πιο ουσιαστική απόφαση της για εξωστρέφεια, με τη κυκλοφορία του πρώτου τους single με τίτλο "Watch Me", ενός κομματιού από τον πρώτο τους δίσκο, το οποίο και παρουσιάστηκε για πρώτη φορά, τόσο στην εκπομπή "Ες Αύριον Τα Σπουδαία"της ΕΡΤ2 αλλά και στην εκπομπή "Volume Sessions"της ΕΡΤ3.
Όταν ακούς το "Watch Me", αισθάνεσαι ότι σε πλημμυρίζει ένα άρωμα από τη τραχιά μελωδικότητα των "Ramones", μέχρι που εμφανίζεται η φωνή της frontwoman των Least Concern, Νάντιας Πυθαρά για να σε προσγειώσει με τη σπαρακτική της ερμηνεία στην αιώνια ανάγκη του ανθρώπου να αγαπήσει και να αγαπηθεί.
"Hug me, hug me like a mother's cry,
Hug me, and please don't ever die"
Οι στίχοι του κιθαρίστα του σχήματος, Βασίλη Δρακόπουλου, συγκλονίζουν μέσα στην απλότητα τους. Η ανάγκη να υπάρχεις σε κάθε πτυχή της καθημερινότητας του ανθρώπου που διάλεξες να βρίσκεται δίπλα σου.
Αυτό είναι το "Watch Me".
Οι ίδιοι οι Least Concern, μιλώντας για το συγκεκριμένο κομμάτι αναφέρουν χαρακτηριστικα: «ένα placebo για τον εκλεκτό της κάθε καρδιάς προς εκούσια κατάποση».
Σε μία εποχή overload μουσικής πληροφορίας, συγκροτήματα όπως οι Least Concern υπενθυμίζουν τη δύναμη της έμπνευσης, της αγάπης στη μουσική και της σκληρής δουλειάς. Και ο επερχόμενος δίσκος τους, με τίτλο «Midnight Blue», θα έρθει να ταυτοποιήσει ένα προς ένα και τα τρία αυτά στοιχεία.
Το "Watch Me" είναι μόνο η αρχή.
Νάντια Πυθαρά (φωνή)
Βασίλης Δρακόπουλος (κιθάρα)
Παναγιώτης Ζαφειριάδης (μπάσο)
Δημήτρης Γεωργόπουλος (τύμπανα).
Λίγα λόγια για τους "Least Concern"
Οι "Least Concern" δημιουργήθηκαν στην Αθήνα το 2014. Το πρώτο τους album, το οποίο δεν έχει ακόμα κυκλοφορήσει, είναι μίξης και παραγωγής του Παύλου Συνοδινού, τιτλοφορείται «Midnight Blue» και αποτελείται από 11 κομμάτια.
Στο δίσκο συμμετέχει ο Louis Mandylor, Ελληνοαυστραλός ηθοποιός του Hollywood, γνωστός για τη συμμετοχή του στην ταινία «Γάμος αλά Ελληνικά» και την εμφάνισή του στη σειρά «Τα φιλαράκια».
Ευδιάκριτα στον ήχο τους είναι γνωρίσματα blues και new wave, διατηρώντας στα περισσότερα κομμάτια έντονο το ατμοσφαιρικό στοιχείο, καθώς και εναλλαγές ανάμεσα σε σκληρές και μαλακές ποιότητες.
Στίχοι με μελαγχολία κι ανάταση, συμπλέγματα ονείρων κι αδιεξόδων, κι η αγάπη ως αντίδοτο παντός είδους - η ανθρώπινη ύπαρξη αναπόφευκτα πάσχει, και δεν έχει παρά να εμπλάκει, για να ανέλθει.
Το Μάιο του 2017 αναδείχθηκαν νικητές του 8th BANDS Festival στο GHOST HOUSE, και έχουν συμμετάσχει σε φεστιβάλ εντός κι εκτός Αθηνών.
Η φετινή χρονιά συνοδεύεται από την επίσημη κυκλοφορία του πρώτου τους single με τίτλο "Watch Me"αλλά και από μία σειρά από συναυλίες και τηλεοπτικές εμφανίσεις.

Η φαντασία σε άλλο επίπεδο: Απίθανα τρισδιάστατα γκράφιτι
Καλλιτέχνες του δρόμου βάζουν τη δική τους πινελιά στο αστικό τοπίο και ομορφαίνουν τις πόλεις. Οι τοίχοι, οι προσόψεις κτηρίων μεταμορφώνονται με τις τεράστιες ζωγραφιές που κερδίζουν τις εντυπώσεις.
Σε διάφορα σημεία του κόσμου οι street artists ξεδιπλώνουν τη φαντασία τους και δημιουργούν σχέδια που περνούν μηνύματα ή απλώς καλλωπίζουν το μουντό αστικό σκηνικό…

544: Βάνδαλοι μπαίνουν στη Ρώμη και την λεηλατούν για δυο εβδομάδες. Φεύγοντας παίρνουν μαζί τους πολύτιμα αντικείμενα από το Ναό της Ιερουσαλήμ, που είχε φέρει στην πόλη ο αυτοκράτορας Τίτος. Ανάμεσα στη λεία τους θα βρεθούν και η αυτοκράτειρα Ευδοξία και οι κόρες της Ευδοκία και Πλακεντία.↧

ΚΑΘΕ ΠΡΩΙ ΑΠΟ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ ΓΙΑ ΣΠΟΡΑΔΕΣ
Θετική έκβαση είχε αίτημα της ακτοπλοϊκής σύνδεσης της Θεσσαλονίκης με τις Σποράδες, όπως ανακοίνωσε ο πλοιοκτήτης της Golden Star Ferries, Γιώργος Στεφάνου, εκφράζοντας την ικανοποίησή του για την εξέλιξη.
Όπως δήλωσε ο κ. Στεφάνου στο ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ, ο υπουργός Ναυτιλίας και Νησιωτικής Πολιτικής, Παναγιώτης Κουρουμπλής ενήργησε με δυναμικότητα -όπως και ο υφυπουργός και ο γενικός γραμματέας του υπουργείου- και τελικά αποφάσισε σήμερα να δοθεί με απευθείας ανάθεση το δρομολόγιο στην εταιρεία και να ικανοποιηθεί συγχρόνως ένα πάγιο αίτημα τόσο των φορέων της Θεσσαλονίκης όσο και των νησιών των Β. Σποράδων. «Η επιτυχής έκβαση οφείλεται και στον δήμαρχο Γιάννη Μπουτάρη και στους τοπικούς φορείς στα νησιά που προσπαθούν κι επιθυμούν να αξιοποιηθούν έτι περαιτέρω τουριστικά», δήλωσε ο κ. Στεφάνου.
«Από Δευτέρα ανοίγουμε τα πλάνα και εντατικοποιούμε τις προσπάθειες για να ξεκινήσουμε τα δρομολόγια στις 15 Ιουνίου», πρόσθεσε.
Το πλοίο θα αναχωρεί καθημερινά 10 το πρωί από Θεσσαλονίκη ενώ η ώρα άφιξης στο λιμάνι της Θεσσαλονίκης κατά την επιστροφή, θα είναι στις 19.15.
«Πρόκειται για πολύ σύγχρονα πλοία, δυο καινούργια αποκτήματα της εταιρείας, το Super speed και το Super cat ενώ για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα θα έχουμε τριμαράν με μεγάλες δυνατότητες», είπε ο κ.Στεφάνου και τόνισε ότι «οι τιμές των εισιτηρίων θα παραμείνουν ίδιες παρόλο που έχουν αυξηθεί τα καύσιμα, δηλαδή 60 ευρώ η απλή μετάβαση και 108 ευρώ μετ’επιστροφής».
«Είμαστε πολύ ικανοποιημένοι για την κατάληξη μιας ακόμη διαπραγμάτευσης, στην οποία συνέβαλε και η προσωπική κινητοποίηση και ενεργοποίηση του δημάρχου Γιάννη Μπουτάρη. Σκοπός μας είναι να συνδράμουμε με όλες μας τις δυνάμεις, όλοι οι φορείς σε συνεργασία και να βοηθήσουμε ώστε αυτή η σύνδεση να είναι επιτυχημένη και οικονομικά και να μην βιώνουμε αυτήν την αγωνία κάθε χρόνο», δήλωσε ο αντιδήμαρχος Τουριστικής Ανάπτυξης και Διεθνών Σχέσεων του δήμου Θεσσαλονίκης Σπύρος Πέγκας.
Υπενθυμίζεται ότι το δρομολόγιο θα αφορά τη σύνδεση της Θεσσαλονίκης με τις Σποράδες με προέκταση τον Βόλο και αφορά στο διάστημα από τις 15 Ιουνίου έως τις 9 Σεπτεμβρίου 2018.

Muscle Shoals Sound Studios Added To National Historic Register
2006Muscle Shoals Sound Studios is added to the National Historic Register.
In recognition of its place in music history, the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios building in Sheffield, Alabama, is named to the National Historic Register. The small stone building at 3614 Jackson Highway attracted an array of legendary musicians after the studio's founding in 1969, including The Staple Singers, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, and The Rolling Stones.
Muscle Shoals is one of four small towns that sits near the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama. The area's music roots are deep: It is the birthplace of W.C. Handy, largely considered the father of the blues, and Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records. The bluesy, swampy fusion of rock and roll and R&B indigenous to the area is very distinct. Bono, lead singer of U2, says that the Muscle Shoals brand of music sounds as if it "comes out of the mud."
The historic designation comes because the building "is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history." But while the building is historic, those who made it so no longer inhabit it.
Muscle Shoals Sound Studios was formed in 1969 when four of the studio musicians from FAME Studios broke off to start their own operation. These guys, known as "The Swampers" and immortalized in the lyrics to "Sweet Home Alabama" ("Muscle Shoals had got the Swampers..."), ran the studio until 1978 when they relocated to a bigger facility nearby. The original building became a music store, then an appliance store, and then an empty building in shambles. It was revived in 1999 when Noel Webster bought it, but the Swampers were not welcomed back. Not much happened there until 2009 when The Black Keys came in search of a vintage analog sound and spent 10 days recording. The resulting album, Brothers, won the Grammy for Album of the Year.
The studio itself is the physical representation of the Muscle Shoals sound, but it's the people and the culture that are the spirit. The studio isn't even in Muscle Shoals: when the Swampers left FAME (which really is in the city and has never ceased operations), they named their Sheffield operation "Muscle Shoals Sound Studios" to associate it with the signature sound and also to get under the skin of Rick Hall, FAME's owner. There were hard feelings for a while, but after a few years Hall and The Swampers settled their differences.
When Muscle Shoals Sound Studios goes on the Historic Register, many in the area are incredulous, since the guys who made it famous are no longer associated with it. The designation helps revive interest in the area though, and in 2013 the film Muscle Shoals is released, documenting the history of the area. That same year, Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics announces a grant to fund the renovation of both Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and FAME, with the goal of opening them to aspiring musicians and producers who can learn their crafts in these historic spaces.

Gayle Shepherd of the Singing Shepherd Sisters Dies at 81

Gayle Shepherd, a member of the vocal quartet the Shepherd Sisters, best known for the 1957 hit “Alone (Why Must I Be Alone),” died at a care facility in Allentown, Pa. She was 81.
Her daughter, Dina Miller, said the cause was dementia.
Ms. Shepherd, the second youngest of eight siblings, grew up singing in church in Middletown, Ohio. She and two sisters, Martha and MaryLou, performed locally as the Shepherd Sisters beginning when they were teenagers, with Gayle often singing lead.
Their group had their breakthrough in the mid-1950s performing on the variety show “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts,” which pitted young musicians against one another.
They had a harmonious style typical of the popular girl groups of the 1950s and ’60s. Their first regional hit, in 1956, was a version of the 1937 song “Gone With the Wind” (not related to the film or novel of the same title). The song drew the attention of Dick Clark, and the sisters went on to appear repeatedly on his TV show “American Bandstand.”
They added a fourth sister, Judith, to the group in 1957 and released their biggest hit, the yearning but upbeat “Alone,” written by Morty and Selma Craft, which reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. The song was later recorded by the Four Seasons and Petula Clark.

H&M is trialing a smart mirror that suggests outfits for you — and customers love it
- H&M is trialing a smart mirror in its flagship store in Times Square, New York.
- Through voice and facial recognition, customers can use voice commands to take selfies.
- The mirror was developed by Microsoft and Swedish digital agencies, Visual Art and Ombori.
H&M is offering its customers a new shopping experience and customers apparently love it, according to Lebensmittelzeitung.
The fashion group is currently trialling a smart mirror in its flagship store at Times Square in New York. The smart mirror, developed by Microsoft and Swedish digital agencies Visual Art and Ombori, combines voice and facial recognition in order to communicate with customers.
Customers were able to use voice commands to take selfies that are virtually integrated with the H&M catalogue. The image can be downloaded to one's phone via QR code. At the same time, customers can get a discount of over 20% and free shipping costs if they subscribe to the H&M Newsletter.
First impressions of H&M's smart mirror are positive
As well as voice and facial recognition, the mirror also gives out shopping tips. The mirror provides customers with various outfit suggestions, which can be ordered directly from the online shop using the QR code. Initial impressions of the smart mirror were positive: Lebensmittelzeitung reported that 86% of customers who took a selfie also ended up scanning the QR code and 10% of also registered for the newsletter.
With this innovation, it seems like H&M is bang on trend: digital assistants and smart technologies are also playing an increasingly important role in retail. However, Christian Bärwind, Industry Leader Retail at Google Germany, said the "voice control is still in its early stages."
H&M's competitor, Zara, has taken a slightly different approach in its flagship store in London: Zara's smart mirror doesn't rely on voice control but recognizes selected items from customers and from those items, creates a virtual outfit.

The US Army is finally getting combat-ready pizza after years of waiting
- The US Army is finally getting pizza for troops in the field after roughly
- three decades of requests from soldiers for one of the most popular
- foods in America.
- The pizza Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) will be available to soldiers
- sometime in the next year or so.
- The pizza MRE that's coming to US Army soldiers will include
- pepperoni, but soldiers will have to wait longer for more toppings.
The US Army is finally getting pizza for troops in the field after roughly
three decades of requests from soldiers for one of the most popular
foods in America, though toppings will initially be quite limited.
The pizza Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) will be available to soldiers some
time in the next year or so, Army Times reported. It will reportedly be
available in some locations by the end of 2018 and more broadly
distributed in 2019.
The Combat Feeding Directive has been working on the pizza MRE since
2012. Army protocol calls for MREs to have a shelf life of three years
when stored at 80 degrees or below for the food to be a solid option for
troops in the field. For a long time, the pizza MRE kept turning brown
as officials tested it under these standards, and in March 2017 it was
announced its release would be delayed indefinitely until the problem
could be solved.
There were no health or safety concerns regarding the brown pizza, but
there were concerns that it wasn't high quality. In short, the Army
felt the brown pizza wouldn't be very appetizing to soldiers.
"We want to make sure we give [troops] a quality product," David
Accetta, a spokesman for the Combat Feeding Directorate at the
Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, told
But officials ultimately discovered that rosemary extract was the
solution to this problem, and now troops will soon be able to enjoy a
food they've waited years for.
The pizza MRE that's coming to US Army soldiers will include
pepperoni, according to Army Times, but it might be some time before
other toppings are introduced.
