The newest
Institute Of Bootleggers
( theinstituteofbootleggers.blogspot.com/ )
group compilation is now posted for your enjoyment. This new volume contain 16 mashups by 16 International bootleggers. All styles were entirely up to the contributing producer, a “theme” that seemingly allows the tunes to take the best audio path.
The current pandemic has reduced the quantity of mashups being produced, but not the quality. The newer mixers like DJ Adry19, DJ Guy, & Smashcolor all bring finest kind material which contrast wonderfully with the handful of re-appearing classics from folk like LeeDM101, MashBusters, & Martinn.
On this assortment, you’ll encounter pairings like Erasure vs Fatboy Slim, The Weeknd vs Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora, The Temptations vs Topic ft. A7S vs La Roux, & Avicii vs Madonna. The preview track is a video mix from DJ Guy called ”Dangerous ( Jam On It Mashup ) (116.37)" ( Depeche Mode vs Newcleus ) & is

I had a blast with track selection, collating, & mastering for mutual release. In truth, I could have been practicing my hamboning, or commiserating the lonely hours. Lol. After the mastering was complete, I got to do a private set for the few folk I still see in my home, & they loved every track! No doubt you will, as well.
• Geraldine Farrar’s autobiography titled Such Sweet Compulsion begins, “I died in the beginning of the year 1923.” No, Ms. Farrar did not die then, either emotionally or physically. Her mother died then, and Ms. Farrar wrote her autobiography using both her own voice and that of her mother, who she believed had gone on to a higher plane of existence.
• In her book Mark Twain in Nevada, Effie Mona Mack wrote about the cheapness of life in the frontier. In 1863, a man who was shot and died in Virginia City, Nevada, remained under a billiards table from 4 a.m. until noon while frontiersmen continued to shoot billiards above him. The coroner was too busy to come and take away the corpse.
• In Highgate Cemetery in London, many tourists visit the grave of Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, who was the wife and model of the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. When she died in 1862, Rossetti buried some poems with her. However, in 1869, he reconsidered and had her grave dug up so he could retrieve the poems.
• On his deathbed, irreverent playwright Brendan Behan was taken care of by a nun. With his last words, he thanked her, then added, “May you be the mother of a bishop.”
Editors
• A young Broadway columnist for the New York World-Telegram didn’t like the way his column was being edited, so he went to see the copy editor, a Mr. Doyle, and said, “I’m damn well fed up with the way you’ve been trimming my stuff. After all, this is Broadway stuff I’m writing. You don’t know anything about Broadway. You never get around the hot spots. You’re not qualified to pass judgment on Broadway topics. Now admit it, Mr. Doyle.” Mr. Doyle replied, “You’re right. I’m just a country boy. I don’t know a thing about Broadway and the night spots. I never been in one of them nightclubs. I don’t see Times Square once a year. I’m a country boy, brought up on a farm, spent most of my life on a farm, and consequently there’s only one thing I know. I know horse sh*t when I see it.”
• Gertrude Stein was known for her odd style of writing, which provoked this parody in a rejection slip from editor A.J. Fifield: “I am only one, only one, only one. Only one being, one at the same time. Not two, not three, only one. Only one life to live, only sixty minutes in one hour. Only one pair of eyes. Only one brain. Only one being. Being only one, having only one pair of eyes, having only one time, having only one life, I cannot read your MS three or four times. Not even one time. Only one look, only one look is enough. Hardly one copy would sell here. Hardly one. Hardly one.”
• A woman sent editor Walter H. Page a story to read, but he sent it back to her saying that it was not suitable for publication in his magazine. The woman then wrote him, saying that he had not read the story because she had glued the corners of a couple of pages together and when the story came back to her, those corners were still glued together. Mr. Page replied to the woman: “Madam, when I get an egg for breakfast, I do not need to eat the whole of it to see that it is bad.”
• At a New England Yearly Meeting of Quakers, they debated about the wording of the Discipline. Some people thought that a certain paragraph should perhaps be deleted or altered. One man, however, objected, saying, “I should be sorry to see that paragraph left out, or even changed. Those words seem almost sacred to me.” Rufus Jones spoke up and said, “Nothing very sacred about that — I wrote it myself.”
A one hit wonder, this disco song by Jamaican vocalist Carl Douglas is also one of the best-selling singles of all time. Fast as lightning, what is the title of this 1974 release?
St. Elmo's fire is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a corona discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a strong electric field in the atmosphere (such as those generated by thunderstorms or created by a volcanic eruption).
St. Elmo's fire is named after St. Erasmus of Formia (also called St. Elmo, one of the two Italian names for St. Erasmus, the other being St. Erasmo), the patron saint of sailors. The phenomenon sometimes appeared on ships at sea during thunderstorms and was regarded by sailors with religious awe for its glowing ball of light, accounting for the name. Sailors may have considered St. Elmo's fire as a good omen (as a sign of the presence of their patron saint).
St. Elmo's fire is a bright blue or violet glow, appearing like fire in some circumstances, from tall, sharply pointed structures such as masts, spires, and chimneys, and on aircraft wings or nose cones. St. Elmo's fire can also appear on leaves and grass, and even at the tips of cattle horns. Often accompanying the glow is a distinct hissing or buzzing sound. It is sometimes confused with ball lightning.
The nitrogen and oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere cause St. Elmo's fire to fluoresce with blue or violet light; this is similar to the mechanism that causes neon lights to glow.

St. Elmo’s Fire. It is a glow electrical discharge, St. Elmo’s Fire is kind of a naturally occurring neon sign. This weather phenomenon was seen as a good omen by British sailors. When the masts of the ship looked like they were covered with blue flames, sailors took it as a sign from the Saint that the ship would survive the storm. Unlike lightning, St. Elmo’s Fire does not electrocute or burn people.

Entertainer Harry Belafonte released a statement after a senior aide to Donald Trump (R-Deplorable) posted a doctored video in which it was made to appear as if Joe Biden was fast asleep when a local news anchor attempted to interview him via satellite.
In fact, the video was from 2011, when Belafonte was doing a series of press junket interviews and lost audio contact with the local station in Bakersfield, CA.
“They keep stooping lower and lower,” Belafonte said in a statement. “A technical glitch in an interview I did nine years ago now becomes another one of their lies, more of their fake news. I beg every sane American: please vote them out. I knew many who gave their life for the right to vote. Never has it been so vital to exercise that right.”
Dan Scavino, a senior aide to Trump and White House director of social media, tweeted the video out on Sunday from his private account. It was made to look like a news anchor was trying to interview Biden, trying to wake him up. The sound of snoring also was added to the video. The video has received 2.1 million views.
Farm Aid will celebrate its 35th anniversary September 26th with a virtual festival featuring performances by board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews alongside Jack Johnson, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile and Boz Scaggs. The show will be available on Farm Aid’s YouTube channel, AXS TV and Fans.com.
Other artists on the bill for Farm 2020 on the Road include Black Pumas, Chris Stapleton, Edie Brickell with Charlie Sexton, Jamey Johnson, Jon Batiste, Kelsey Waldon, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Particle Kid, the Record Company, Valerie June, and the War and Treaty.
“This pandemic and so many other challenges have revealed how essential family farmers and ranchers are to the future of our planet,” Willie Nelson said in a statement. “Farm Aid 2020 is going to give the whole country a chance to learn about the important work of farmers and how they’re contributing to our well-being, beyond bringing us good food.”
The original Farm Aid was held on September 22nd, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois. It’s been held every year since 1992, making it one of the longest-running charity events in music history. Over the years, everyone from Guns N’ Roses to the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and Hootie and the Blowfish have played on the Farm Aid stage. The most recent event took place on September 21st, 2019 at the Alpine Music Valley Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.
Twitter removed a video from one of President Donald Trump (R-Deadbeat)'s tweets on Tuesday after it received a copyright complaint from Eddy Grant, the musician whose hit song "Electric Avenue" appears in the video.
Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio confirmed to NBC News that the video had been taken down in response to a copyright complaint, per company policy.
It is at least the third time in as many months that Twitter has been forced to remove media content from the president's Twitter account due to violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.
The move comes after Grant sued Trump and his campaign on Tuesday, accusing them of "willfully and wrongfully" infringing on his copyrights. Grant's lawyer also issued a cease and desist letter to the campaign two weeks ago.
The French satirical paper whose staff was decimated in a violent attack by Islamic extremists in 2015 is reprinting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad cited by the killers, declaring "history cannot be rewritten nor erased."
The announcement on Tuesday came on the eve of the first trial for the January 2015 attacks against Charlie Hebdo and, two days later, a kosher supermarket. The killings touched off a wave of violence claimed by the Islamic State group across Europe. Seventeen people died — 12 of them at the editorial offices — along with all three attackers.
Thirteen men and a woman accused of providing the attackers with weapons and logistics go on trial Wednesday. In an editorial this week accompanying the caricatures, the paper best known for vulgar irreverence said that although it had declined to publish caricatures of Muhammad since the attacks, doing so for the opening of the trial was necessary.
As the attackers, brothers Chérif and Said Kouachi, walked away from the carnage, they cried out “We have avenged the Prophet.” Claiming the attacks in the name of al-Qaida, they then killed a wounded policeman point-blank and drove away.
The caricatures re-published this week were first printed in 2006 by the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, setting off sometimes violent protests by Muslims who believe depicting Muhammad is blasphemy. Charlie Hebdo, which was then little-known outside France and regularly caricatures religious leaders from various faiths, republished them soon afterwards.
The Trump administration will not take part in a global effort to help develop and equitably distribute a COVID-19 vaccine—a decision experts called “shortsighted” and “self-defeating”—according to a report by The Washington Post.
The White House cited the involvement of the World Health Organization in its decision to shun the effort. President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the WHO for being soft on China during the global health crisis, despite the fact that Trump himself repeatedly praised China for its “transparency” and response to the pandemic in January and February. At the end of May, Trump abruptly announced that he was “terminating our relationship” with the WHO, a move that alarmed public health experts.
White House spokesperson Judd Deere told the Post that “The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus, but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China.”
Experts say the decision is a risky one that has the potential to leave the US without secure access to whatever vaccine ends up proving effective in phase III trials.
At a June protest in Costa Mesa, California, activists opposed to the police killing of George Floyd captured video showing a member of the Orange County Sheriff's Department with a patch associated with far-right paramilitary groups.
The story spurred an internal investigation, coming amid reports that fringe extremist groups have been increasingly successful at infiltrating law enforcement.
That investigation has now concluded, with the sheriff of Orange County announcing that the deputy will be keeping his job. He and his colleagues will also undergo training on the threat posed by the organizations explicitly honored on his uniform.
The patch in question displayed a logo for the Three Percenters — a movement whose followers, including a former sheriff's deputy, bombed a Minnesota mosque in 2017 — above the term "Oathkeeper," a reference to a paramilitary organization that recently declared the US to be in a state of "civil war." The members of such vigilante groups often appear in public heavily armed, sometimes in uniforms that suggest an official capacity, purporting to uphold their interpretation of the law, sans oversight or legal sanction.
Speaking at a press conference in early August, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes asserted that the internal investigation into the matter failed to uncover any problematic views on the part of the deputy, whose identity has not been revealed.
The volume of lakes formed as glaciers worldwide melt due to climate change had jumped by 50 percent in 30 years, according to new study based on satellite data.
"We have known that not all meltwater is making it into the oceans immediately," lead author Dan Shugar, a geomorphologist and associate professor at the University of Calgary, said in a statement.
Between 1994 and 2017, the world's glaciers, especially in high-mountain regions, shed about 6.5 trillion tonnes in mass, according to earlier research.
"In the past 100 years, 35 percent of global sea-level rises came from glacier melting," Anders Levermann, climate professor at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change Impact, told AFP.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it is investigating reports from airline pilots that someone was flying in a jetpack as they approached Los Angeles International Airport to land last weekend.
“Two airline flight crews reported seeing what appeared to be someone in a jetpack as they were on their final approaches to LAX around 6:35 p.m. PDT Sunday,” the FAA said.
Fox 11 Los Angeles obtained recordings of communications between the aircraft and the tower.
“Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack,” a pilot said.
“American 1997, OK, thank you, were they off to your left side or your right side?” the controller asked.
