Сейчас я ищу вокалистов, разных вокалистов». На вопрос относительно направления музыки нового проекта Josh ответил: «Думаю, это будет отличаться от ожиданий большинства. Я решил, что если я и буду делать что-то подобное, то это не будет звучать похоже на STONE SOUR, потому что... А смысл? Так что многое из этого, ну по крайней мере, половина песен... Я начал играть — я не должен был говорить, что я начал играть на пианино. Я знаю, как сделать мини-пианино, так что теперь я отличный игрок... Но большая часть этого — пианино-ориентированный материал, и всё в таком духе. И я начал внедрять во всё это другие инструменты — всякую безумную перкуссию и всё такое. Просто я хочу получать удовольствие от создания и не пытаться создать новый "30/30-150" или находиться под давлением от попыток это сделать. Так что я плясал от этого, и вот куда зашёл». По словам музыканта, он хотел бы анонсировать проект до конца этого года. #Stone_Sour #StoneSour #AlternativeMetal #Alternative_Metal Full Article
so Участники SOUNDGARDEN против вдовы Корнелла By www.darkside.ru Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:28:55 GMT По сообщению Rolling Stone, музыканты SOUNDGARDEN выдвинули встречный иск против вдовы Криса Корнелла, Vicky Cornell, обвиняя её в том, что она использовала доходы от трибьют-концерта в январе 2019 года на свои нужды. В ответном иске, который был подан в окружной суд Южного округа Флориды, Майами, в среду (6 мая), утверждается, что в конце 2018 года Vicky Cornell потребовала, чтобы Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron и Ben Shepherd согласились выступить на концерте "I Am The Highway: A Tribute To Chris Cornell" 16 января 2019 года в Лос-Анджелесе без компенсации. «Чтобы побудить SOUNDGARDEN согласиться на эту просьбу, Vicky Cornell заявила, что доходы от Cornell Concert будут использованы в благотворительных целях», — говорится в жалобе. Thayil, Cameron и Shepherd утверждают, что «заявление Vicky Cornell было ложным в том смысле, что Vicky Cornell не имела намерения использовать часть или всю выручку от Cornell Concert в благотворительных целях, а скорее — в личных целях для себя и своей семьи. SOUNDGARDEN сообщают, считают и в связи с этим утверждают, что Vicky Cornell заранее знала о том, что заявление было ложным, либо она проявила небрежность или безрассудство в отношении его правдивости с целью и с намерением склонить SOUNDGARDEN к согласию выступить на Cornell Concert без компенсации», — говорится в ответном иске. Согласно иску, «представление Vicky Cornell было существенным для SOUNDGARDEN в том смысле, что участники SOUNDGARDEN не были заинтересованы в том, чтобы выступить без компенсации на концерте, который принёс бы финансовую выгоду Vicky Cornell и её семье. SOUNDGARDEN полагалась на свою веру в то, что доходы от этого концерта будут использованы в благотворительных целях, когда принимали решение согласиться выступить на Cornell Concert без компенсации. Как прямой и непосредственный результат нарушения правил игры Vicky Cornell, участники SOUNDGARDEN понесли ущерб в результате искажения фактов, допущенных Vicky Cornell, включая потерю разумной компенсации за Cornell Concer и репутационный ущерб». В ответном иске добавляется, что «все получатели дохода с Cornell Concert не были идентифицированы, а компания Vicky Cornell не смогла адекватно ответить на официальные и неофициальные запросы следователей о том, как эти доходы были использованы и израсходованы. В заявлении в поддержку ее несогласия с ходатайством о прекращении дела Vicky Cornell утверждает, что 643 000 долларов дохода от концерта были пожертвованы в Фонд медицинских исследований эпидермолиза Bullosa Medial Research Foundation. Но контрагенты не установили местонахождения и возможности распоряжения оставшимися доходами. Контрагенты до сих пор отказывались отвечать на запросы, связанные с Cornell Concert, в том числе не предоставили ответы на вопросы по существу и не задокументировали материалы в ответ на обнаружение SOUNDGARDEN в этом деле, связанном с Cornell Foundation и Cornell Concert. Более того, незадолго до подачи этой заявки, когда Cornell Foundation выпустил Форму 990 2018 года (почти год спустя), Cornell Foundation не публиковал никакой информации, подробно описывающей его финансовое положение, начиная с 2017 года. Наконец, на момент подачи данных встречных исков веб-сайт Cornell Foundation, судя по всему, не обновлялся с 2017 года. Требуется тщательный учёт, поскольку Vicky Cornell пообещала SOUNDGARDEN, что никакая часть доходов, полученных от Cornell Concert, не будет использована ни в каких иных целях, кроме благотворительных, как повод для побуждения SOUNDGARDEN к участию в Cornell Concert». #Soundgarden #AlternativeRock #Alternative_Rock #GrungeRock #Grunge_Rock Full Article
so Вдова Криса Корнелла ответила музыкантам SOUNDGARDEN By www.darkside.ru Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 12:09:18 GMT Вдова Криса Корнелла ответила на контриск со стороны бывших коллег её мужа словами своего адвоката Marty Singer'a: «Очень жаль, что три бывших участника группы Криса Корнелла, заработавшие миллионы долларов на упорном труде, таланте и творчестве Криса, продолжают нападать на наследие Криса, его вдову и маленьких детей, делая непристойные, злобные и агрессивные обвинения, чтобы отвлечься от правды. Их откровенно отчаянные встречные претензии, которые были намеренно поданы незадолго до годовщины смерти Криса и годовщины свадьбы Криса и Вики, не меняют того факта, что именно они неправомерно утверждали, что являются владельцами записей, которые были созданы исключительно Крисом, и что именно они незаконно удерживали значительные суммы денег у вдовы и детей Криса (что является основанием для нынешнего судебного процесса). Достаточно сказать, что Вики Корнелл и Cornell Estate яростно отрицают предполагаемые "факты", содержащиеся во встречных претензиях SOUNDGARDEN, которые будут встречены быстрым судебным разбирательством. Ирония заключается в том, что бывшие соратники Криса по группе теперь изображают невинность в связи с трибьют-концертом 2019 года под управлением фонда Криса, который собрал более 1 миллиона долларов США для благотворительного фонда и выплатил более 650 000 долларов США в адрес EBMRF на медицинские исследования, и который не имеет никакого отношения к вопросу о том, кому принадлежат вокальные записи Криса, когда SOUNDGARDEN получили более 78 000 долларов США за выступление на благотворительном концерте. Как хорошо известно бывшим участникам группы Криса, каждый цент выручки от концерта был должным образом распределён и учтён, а их заявления не только фальшивые и клеветнические, но и демонстрируют глубину, до которой бывшие товарищи Криса готовы опуститься, чтобы запятнать его наследие. Также иронично, что, потратив значительное количество времени и средств на гонорары адвокатов (оплаченных из денежных средств, причитающихся Chris estate) и утверждая, что судебная система Флориды не обладает персональной юрисдикцией над ними, бывшие товарищи Криса по группе теперь обращаются за помощью к той же самой судебной системе, подавая свои встречные иски». #Soundgarden #AlternativeRock #Alternative_Rock #GrungeRock #Grunge_Rock Full Article

Гитарист группы, Josh Rand, написал: «По окончании турового цикла в поддержку "Come What(ever) May" я начал работать над новой музыкой. Я тогда размышлял о новом совместном проекте. Мой друг Jeremy Colson (он играл в группе у Steve'а Vai'я) играл на кое-каком материале из того, что я написал. Мы записали несколько песен в студии Sun Prairie. Я всегда хотел там записаться, потому что там была записана вся классика Shrapnel Records. Увы, но проект не получился, но я знал, что у этой песни есть потенциал. Когда мы записывали Audio Secrecy, у нашего продюсера Nick'a Raskulinecz'a было ощущение, что у нас нет подходящего открывающего трека, и я отдал эту песню для STONE SOUR». #Stone_Sour #StoneSour #AlternativeMetal #Alternative_Metal Full Article

Anina is the pretty girl next to me in the picture atop this page. My second panel was the final event of the conference, so Anina and I stayed on the line to talk a bit afterward. She had been up for 72 continuous hours. Oddly, what we discussed were N-95 respirator masks, which are in such short supply thanks to COVID-19. Anina lives in Beijing and China is starting to get back to work as the country slowly backs-off from its draconian coronavirus shut-down. Some businesses are retooling to address global coronavirus needs and one of those retooled factories is owned by a friend of Anina’s.

so Three Mile Island Lessons for COVID-19: FEMA and Me By www.cringely.com Published On :: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 17:02:37 +0000 Forty-one years ago this summer I was a young investigator working in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC for the President’s Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island, a big federal investigation chaired by Dartmouth Professor John Kemeny, who is best known as the father of the BASIC programming language. I learned a lot that summer and fall not only about nuclear accidents but about how governments and industries respond to crises. Some of those lessons apply to the current COVID-19 pandemic, which is also being poorly managed. This may surprise you (that 41-year-old lessons can still apply) but governments, especially, change at a glacial pace. The two federal agencies with which I mainly dealt were the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear […] Digital Branding Web Design Marketing Full Article 2020 COVID-19 Economy Government Health history nuclear safety Uncategorized CDC disaster planning FEMA Three Mile Island Trump
so COVID-19 Lessons from Three Mile Island #2 — the NRC By www.cringely.com Published On :: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:03:58 +0000 My last column was about crisis management lessons I learned back in 1979 while investigating the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the President’s Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island (TMI). Let’s just say that FEMA wasn’t ready for a nuclear meltdown. Today we turn to the other federal agency I investigated at that same time — the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). While FEMA was simply unprepared and incompetent, the NRC was unprepared and lied about it. Like FEMA, the NRC had recently undergone a rebranding from its previous identity as the Atomic Energy Commission — a schizoid agency that had been charged with both regulating nuclear power and promoting it. It’s difficult to be the major booster of technology while at the same […] Digital Branding Web Design Marketing Full Article 2020 COVID-19 history law nuclear safety Politics Atomic Energy Commission Chernobyl General Public Utilities GPU NRC Nuclear Regulatory Commission Three Mile Island TMI
