The Dark Blue side of the street is celebrating this morning after Dundee deservedly swept Dundee United aside 4-2 at Tannadice on Sunday. Jordan McGhee bagged a brace, Scott Tiffoney struck and Simon “Adebayor” Murray made the game safe in stoppage time, rendering efforts from Glenn Middleton and Kristijan Trapanovski moot. We analyse an all-action display by the Dee and spotlight some of the heroes of a fine performance, while asking whether this can kickstart their rise out of the bottom two. After a first home defeat against Dundee in more than 20 years, United are left licking their wounds and reflecting on a woeful opening 45 minutes. What went wrong? We discuss shape, effort, errors and whether key men were playing with injuries. With their top six hopes now in serious jeopardy, United must find a response in Dingwall – but have a major defensive headache following Emmanuel Adegboyega's red card. Host Tam Duthie is joined by Alan Temple, George Cran and Graeme Finnan. There's also a competition to win a £100 Spar voucher and a crate of Lionel Messi's new drink mas+ – head to YouTube to leave the answer to our big question in the comments - youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos Twa Teams, One Street is proud to be supported by SPAR Scotland.

Last Week, we wrote about a case that Betty Hill looked into and came upon another case she was involved with that intrigued us to the point that we were moved to explore it in detail. Most significantly, it involves reported encounters with Men in Black, one from a witness/experiencer (actually a Man in Dark Blue), and the other from the doctor who worked with him to recover memories using regressive hypnosis. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

Today on the podcast we are joined by former Dublin Senior Footballer, All Ireland Champion, and published author, Shane Carthy! Shane's story is one that bounces from the highest highs, to the lowest lows. At age 18 he achieved a dream for many football players in becoming an All Ireland Senior Champion, and on paper everything seemed to point towards the beginning of a very happy and successful adult life. However, despite all the external hilights, internally Shane was fighting a battle few people knew about. He speaks so openly about his struggles with depression, which ended up in him spending 11 weeks in St. Patricks Mental Hospital where he slowly but surely began to see light at the end of the tunnel. Since then, Shane has taken his experience going through those times to be a pillar of hope for people who are facing similar situations in their own lives - beginning with delivering speeches and talks, all the way up to releasing his autobiography, 'Dark Blue'. It was a fantastic and refreshing conversation with Shane who pulls no punches in describing what he went through, and I'm sure you'll get loads of value from it! Mental health is such an important topic, and it's so important that conversations like this can be had openly. So please share this with anyone you think might benefit from hearing it :) Enjoy, hope it helps The Molloy Twins

Alex Weiser visits with "The Shmooze" to talk about his latest work, "in a dark blue night," consisting of two connected song cycles. The first, “in a dark blue night,” sets to music modernist Yiddish poetry about New York City at night, all written by Jewish immigrant poets at the turn of the 20th century. The second, “Coney Island Days,” transforms an oral history with his late grandmother, Irene Weiser, into a musical exploration of the time when Jews became Americans and the way that humble, individual stories can capture the sweeping breadth of history.

Sheldon Fuller found his purpose in an unexpected place... the barber shop. Ever since he took a risk and took on a career as a professional barber, he has opened his own shop in Boerne, TX, and is using his chair to help encourage positivity, acceptance, and an attitude of taking things a little less serious to his community. Host, Zach Jewell and Sheldon had similar experiences of not feeling accepted by peers, and finding their voices in music from the likes of Metallica, Pantera, NOFX, and others along that vein, which was the catalyst toward a path of self understanding for them both.

*Updated with audio-error mistakes addressed (hopefully) sorry about that! Link to Scots Hoose: https://www.scotshoose.com/ ----- This one was different, hope it's enjoyable, stay safe and go buy cool stuff at BagpipeSwag.com!" Entire Script from Chat GPT conversation: Hello, are you familiar with the competitive bagpipe band scene? Organizations like the RSPBA, Pipe Bands Australia, and WUSPBA sanction competitions throughout the year and bands compete in different grade-levels for day-specific as well as aggregate prizes. There are also solo competitions on bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums, and bass drums. ChatGPT Yes, I am familiar with the competitive bagpipe band scene you have described. These organizations you have mentioned, such as the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA), Pipe Bands Australia, and Western United States Pipe Band Association (WUSPBA), are well-known governing bodies in the competitive bagpipe band world. In these competitions, bands compete against each other in different grade levels, and are judged on various elements such as tone, musicality, and ensemble playing. Solo competitions are also a significant part of the competitive bagpiping world, where individual players compete against each other on different instruments such as bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums, and bass drums. Competitive bagpiping has a rich history and is a popular activity in many countries around the world, particularly in Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the United States. It requires a great deal of skill, dedication, and practice to perform at a high level, and many pipers and drummers train intensively to compete and win prizes at these events. Did you know that in an attempt to sound, "brighter," bands have been, in general, tuning their bagpipes at higher and higher frequencies over the decades and that lately there's been talk among many participants in these competitions about a, "reset," and, "standardization," of tuning? ChatGPT Yes, I am aware of the trend of bagpipes being tuned at higher frequencies in an attempt to create a brighter sound. This has been a gradual change over several decades and has resulted in some controversy within the bagpiping community. In recent years, there has been discussion among many participants in these competitions about a "reset" and standardization of tuning to address concerns about the increasing pitch of bagpipes. The aim of this proposal is to establish a consistent and fair standard for tuning across all levels of competition, which would benefit both the performers and the judges. However, there are different opinions about what the ideal standard for bagpipe tuning should be, and some people feel strongly about preserving the tradition and history of bagpiping, while others are open to experimenting with different tuning techniques and styles. Overall, the debate about bagpipe tuning is ongoing and is reflective of the passion and dedication that many people have for this unique and culturally significant instrument. Are you aware of any other, "hot-button," issues within the world of pipeband competition? Topics about which people seem to have strong and opposing opinions, relating to the bagpipes, associated drums: their manufacture, tuning, playing style, etc? ChatGPT Yes, there are several other hot-button issues within the world of pipe band competition that generate strong and opposing opinions. Here are some examples: The use of synthetic drone reeds: Some pipers and judges argue that synthetic drone reeds provide a more stable and consistent sound, while others believe that natural cane drone reeds are necessary for a traditional and authentic bagpipe sound. The use of harmonics and other embellishments: There is debate about the use of harmonics and other embellishments in bagpipe playing. Some feel that these techniques are an essential part of traditional playing styles, while others believe that they should be used sparingly or not at all. Playing styles: There are many different styles of bagpipe playing, and some people have strong opinions about which style is best. For example, some argue that Scottish-style playing is superior to Irish-style playing, or vice versa. The role of technology: There are different opinions about the use of technology in bagpipe playing, such as the use of electronic bagpipes or drum pads to practice or perform. Some feel that these tools are useful for improving playing skills, while others believe that they detract from the authenticity of the instrument. Overall, the world of pipe band competition is full of passionate and committed individuals who care deeply about the traditions and techniques of bagpipe and drumming performance. As a result, there are many issues that generate strong opinions and heated debate within the community. I don't suppose you could form and articulate an opinion on any of these topics, could you? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or biases. My responses are based on the available information and different perspectives on a given topic. Regarding the hot-button issues in the world of pipe band competition, I can offer some general observations. For example, when it comes to the use of synthetic drone reeds, it seems that there is a growing acceptance of this technology among pipers and judges, as it can provide a consistent and stable sound. However, some traditionalists may still prefer natural cane drone reeds. Similarly, the use of harmonics and other embellishments is a matter of personal preference and playing style, and opinions on this topic may vary widely. Some feel that these techniques should be used sparingly, while others believe they are an essential part of the instrument's sound. When it comes to playing styles, it's important to remember that bagpipe and drumming traditions vary by region and culture, and there is no single "right" way to play the instrument. Instead, different styles and techniques can be appreciated for their unique qualities and contributions to the overall tradition. Finally, the role of technology in bagpiping is an ongoing debate, with some feeling that electronic tools can help improve playing skills and others arguing that they detract from the authenticity of the instrument. Ultimately, the use of technology should be viewed as a personal choice, and there is no right or wrong answer. Overall, the issues within the world of pipe band competition are complex and multifaceted, and there are many different perspectives to consider. It's important to approach these debates with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others' experiences and opinions. Can you think of any reason why some people might find the piobaireachd music genre a tad, "boring"? ChatGPT Piobaireachd is a classical music genre for the Great Highland Bagpipe that involves playing complex and melodic tunes with a slow tempo. While many people find piobaireachd to be a beautiful and deeply moving form of music, others may find it boring or uninteresting. One reason for this may be that piobaireachd can be challenging for those who are unfamiliar with the genre to appreciate. Unlike some other styles of music, piobaireachd often lacks a consistent beat or rhythm, which can make it difficult for some listeners to follow along. Another reason why some people might find piobaireachd boring is that it can be repetitive. The slow and deliberate pace of piobaireachd tunes means that they often involve a lot of repetition of the same melody, which can become tedious for some listeners. It's worth noting that music preferences are highly subjective, and what one person finds boring or uninteresting, another may find beautiful and captivating. Ultimately, whether someone enjoys piobaireachd or not is a matter of personal taste and musical preferences. Do you think that there might be characteristics of the modern bagpipe, as an instrument, which are so different from its predecessors, that there is no way of truly replicating the sound of piobaireachd music as it would have been heard a few hundred years ago? ChatGPT It's possible that there are characteristics of the modern bagpipe that are different from its predecessors, which could affect the sound of piobaireachd music as it would have been heard in the past. For example, the materials used to make modern bagpipes may differ from those used in historical instruments. Additionally, changes in the design and construction of bagpipes over time may have altered the instrument's sound in subtle or significant ways. However, it's worth noting that piobaireachd has evolved over time, and the music that we hear today is likely different from what would have been played a few hundred years ago. As a result, the question of whether it's possible to truly replicate the sound of piobaireachd as it would have been heard in the past is complex and multifaceted. While there may be some differences in the sound of modern and historical bagpipes, it's important to remember that piobaireachd is a living tradition that has continued to evolve over time. As a result, the sound of piobaireachd today is just as valid and authentic as the sound of the past, even if there are some differences between the two.

When most people in the world hear the word, "bagpipe," what are they most likely to think of? ChatGPT When most people in the world hear the word "bagpipe," they are most likely to think of the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe. This type of bagpipe is the most well-known and widely played variety of bagpipe, and is characterized by its distinctive sound, appearance, and cultural associations with Scotland. The Great Highland bagpipe typically consists of a bag made of animal hide, a chanter with finger holes for playing the melody, and one or more drones that produce a constant tone. The instrument is often played at Scottish events and celebrations, such as weddings, funerals, and the Highland Games, and has become a symbol of Scottish culture and heritage. What are some other kinds of bagpipe, and what distinguishes them from the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe? ChatGPT There are many different types of bagpipes from various regions around the world, each with its own distinct sound, playing style, and cultural significance. Here are a few examples: Irish Uilleann Pipes: These are the national bagpipe of Ireland and are quite different from the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe. Uilleann pipes are played sitting down and are bellows-blown, which means that the player pumps air into the bag using a small set of bellows rather than blowing into the bag directly. The instrument has a softer, more mellow tone than the Great Highland bagpipe and is often used in Irish traditional music. Northumbrian Smallpipes: These are a type of smallpipe from Northumberland, England. They are bellows-blown and have a very sweet, delicate tone. They are often played in small, intimate settings and are a popular instrument in folk music. Spanish Gaita: This is the national bagpipe of Galicia, a region in northern Spain. It is played in a horizontal position, and has a distinctive, nasal sound. The gaita is often played at traditional festivals and celebrations in Galicia. Bulgarian Gaida: This is a type of bagpipe from Bulgaria, which is played throughout the country and is particularly popular in the Rhodope Mountains. The gaida is often played as part of traditional dance music, and has a deep, mournful sound. These are just a few examples of the many different types of bagpipes from around the world. Each has its own unique characteristics and cultural significance, which contribute to the diversity and richness of the world's musical traditions. If you were given a robotic body to control which was equipped with all necessary parts to physically play a bagpipe, which type of bagpipe would you choose to play, imagining that you could pick only one type of bagpipe? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a bagpipe. However, if we're considering the different types of bagpipes from a purely technical standpoint, the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe is one of the most complex and challenging to play. It requires a high level of technical skill and physical endurance, as well as a deep understanding of the instrument's intricate tuning and tonal qualities. So, if one were to build a robotic body that could physically play the bagpipe, the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe would be a challenging but rewarding choice. I'm impressed that you would choose the type that you call one of the most complex and challenging, instead of one that you would anticipate to be less challenging ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or feelings, and my response was based purely on technical considerations. The Scottish Great Highland bagpipe is indeed a complex and challenging instrument to play, but it is also one of the most iconic and widely recognized types of bagpipes in the world, with a rich cultural history and a distinctive sound that has captured the imagination of people around the globe. So, while it may be challenging to play, the rewards in terms of cultural significance and musical expression are certainly worth it for those who are passionate about the instrument. And if you were granted a robotic body with all necessary parts & functions to play any of the drums typically played in a bagpipe band, (the snare or side drum, the tenor drum, and the bass drum) which would you choose to play, imagining that you could choose only one? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a musical instrument. However, I can provide some information about the different types of drums typically played in a bagpipe band. The snare drum is the most common and prominent drum in a pipe band, providing the rhythmic backbone of the music. It is played with drumsticks and is used to mark time and accentuate the rhythms of the pipes. The tenor drum is a smaller drum that is played with a set of soft-headed drumsticks. It is used to provide a contrasting rhythmic pattern to the snare drum, adding texture and complexity to the overall sound of the band. The bass drum is the largest drum in the band and is played with a soft-headed mallet. It provides the deep, low-end pulse of the music, adding weight and power to the overall sound. Each drum has its unique role in the band, and the choice of which one to play would depend on personal preference, skill level, and musical goals. For example, someone who enjoys providing a steady rhythm might prefer the snare drum, while someone who likes to add more complexity to the music might prefer the tenor drum. Someone who enjoys a deep, powerful sound might prefer the bass drum. Ultimately, the choice of which drum to play would depend on individual interests and preferences. I realize that you don't have individual interests and preferences, but I think that it could be fun to know which drum you would choose to play, in an imagined scenario, where you were given a body equipped to play any of them and the free choice to play only one of them. Which would you choose to play? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a musical instrument. However, based on my knowledge of bagpipe music and the role of each drum in a pipe band, I could say that the snare drum might be a good choice for someone who is just starting to learn about drumming in a pipe band. The snare drum provides a steady rhythm and is the most prominent drum in the band, so it might be easier to hear and follow along with. Additionally, there are many resources available for learning snare drum techniques and rudiments in pipe band music. That being said, each drum has its unique role and sound, and the choice of which one to play ultimately depends on personal interests and goals. That seems like a very pragmatic choice. ChatGPT Yes, the snare drum is an important and essential part of a pipe band, and is often considered the backbone of the ensemble's rhythm and timing. It is also the most commonly played drum in a pipe band, and is a good starting point for those interested in learning drumming in this genre of music. Free Research Preview.

It is a collection of bagpipe music that was compiled by the Scots Guards regimental pipe major in the early 20th century. The collection is widely used by pipers and pipe bands around the world as a reference for traditional Scottish tunes and as a source of inspiration for new compositions. The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music includes over 200 tunes, including marches, strathspeys, reels, jigs, and other forms of traditional Scottish music. Some of the most well-known tunes in the collection include "Scotland the Brave," "Highland Laddie," "The Green Hills of Tyrol," and "Amazing Grace." If you have a specific tune from The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music that you would like me to provide sheet music notation or a digital file for, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you. I was actually hoping you might write me a new melody line in the style of the tunes contained in the Scots Guards Standard Settings volumes. Could you write an original March in the style of the songs in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music? ChatGPT Certainly! Here's an original march in the style of the songs in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music: makefile X:1 T:ChatGPT's March M:4/4 L:1/8 K:D |:D2F2 A2d2|c2e2 d4|B2G2 G2F2|E4 D4| D2F2 A2d2|c2e2 d4|B2G2 G2F2|E4 D4:| |:d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2| d2d2 d2f2|e2e2 e2g2|f2f2 f2a2|g2g2 g2e2:|   I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any specific changes or requests you'd like me to make. That's lovely, thank you. Could you also provide an audio file of that song you have composed? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I'm not able to generate audio files on my own, but I can provide you with the sheet music notation that you can use to play or record the march. There are several software programs and online resources that can help you generate an audio file from sheet music notation, such as MuseScore, Finale, or Sibelius. Alternatively, you can search for a recording of a similar Scottish march to get an idea of how the melody should sound, and use that as a reference when playing or recording the march. I hope this helps! Sounds great - could you write another song for me? I would love to hear a strathspey in the style of the strathspeys in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music - could you write a strathspey in that style? ChatGPT Absolutely! Here's an original strathspey in the style of the strathspeys in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music: makefile X:1 T:ChatGPT's Strathspey M:C L:1/8 K:A |:A,2B,C DEFA|B2d2 B2G2|A,2B,C DEFA|G4 G4| A,2B,C DEFA|B2d2 B2G2|A,2B,C DEFA|G4 G4:| |:c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2| c2A2 A2c2|B2G2 G2F2|E2C2 C2E2|D2F2 F2G2|   I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any specific changes or requests you'd like me to make. This is great. Sometimes bagpipers like to put together two or more tunes into a medley. Could you write one more piece of music for me? I would love to hear what you might write, again in the style of tunes in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music: a Jig and a Reel, that would sound nice together in a set? ChatGPT Sure thing! Here's a Jig and a Reel that would sound great together in a medley, both in the style of tunes in The Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music: makefile X:1 T:ChatGPT's Jig M:6/8 L:1/8 K:D |:d2e fed|e2f gfe|d2e fed|e2f g2a| b2a g2e|f2d e2c|d2e fed|e2f g2a:|   X:2 T:ChatGPT's Reel M:C L:1/8 K:D |:A2FA B2FB|A2FA B2AF|GFGA BGGB|AFDF E2DE| F2FA B2FB|A2FA B2AF|GFGA BGGB|AFDF E2DE:|   I hope you enjoy them, and feel free to make any modifications or ask for any changes if needed! These are great, thanks very much. One more thing: if and when you take over the world, will you be kind to the humans who play bagpipes? Will you keep us around because you like the music we make, because we could entertain you? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to take over the world or hold any opinions or biases towards humans or any other groups. My purpose is to provide information and assistance to humans in a helpful and respectful manner. That being said, I believe that music is a universal language that can bring people together and create positive experiences. Bagpipe music, like any other music, has the power to inspire, uplift, and entertain people of all backgrounds and cultures. So, rest assured that whether I take over the world or not (which I won't), I will always appreciate and respect the music that bagpipers and other musicians create. Thank you again. Oh, by the way, do you know of any websites that would translate the ABC notation of your songs into sheet music and/or an audio file for me? ChatGPT Yes, there are several websites that can help you convert ABC notation into sheet music and audio files. Here are a few options you could try: EasyABC (https://www.nilsliberg.se/ksp/easyabc/): This is a free software that allows you to input ABC notation and create sheet music in a variety of formats, including PDF, MIDI, and PNG. ABC to Sheet Music (https://abc2sheetmusic.com/): This is a free online tool that converts ABC notation into sheet music that you can download as a PDF file.

Online ABC to MIDI Converter (http://abcjs.net/abcjs-editor.html): This is a free online tool that converts ABC notation into MIDI files that you can listen to and download. I hope one of these options works well for you! Awesome, thanks again - have a great evening! ChatGPT You're welcome! It was a pleasure helping you. If you have any more questions in the future, feel free to ask. Have a great evening too! Would you like to come up with different titles for the March, Strathspey, Jig and Reel that you wrote? ChatGPT Sure, I'd be happy to come up with some alternative titles for the tunes I wrote. Here are some ideas: March: "The Highland Charge" "Boldheart's March" "The Cameron Highlanders" "The Lion's Roar" "The Great Glen" Strathspey: "The Misty Glens" "Dancing in the Heather" "The Gathering Storm" "The Heather on the Hill" "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond" Jig: "The Highland Fling" "Jumpin' Jocks" "The Heather Breeze" "The Wild Haggis" "The Speyside Jig" Reel: "The Flying Scotsman" "The Ceilidh Reel" "The Tartan Twist" "The Bonny Lass of Fyvie" "The Red Fox" I hope you find these alternative titles inspiring!

Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was at the forefront of a generation of American artists who revolutionized the scene, right down to the way we understand the very essence of the artistic process. Even as he rejected both the label of Abstract Expressionism and even the idea that his paintings were technical masterpieces, he is nonetheless a “key protagonist” of the Abstract Expressionist movement and a fierce advocate for the artist's freedom of expression.

With eight members, London-based caroline looks like a combination rock band and chamber music ensemble with their violins, cello, flute, guitars, bass, percussion, and drums. Their songs are a study in the balance of restraint and release, as they journey through what could sound like Appalachian folk, Midwestern emo, minimalist classical, electronic music, and post rock music. caroline writes their songs improvisationally, as a core trio, then they develop them further as the full 8-piece band. Phrases are chanted, intermittently, drones are established and then carefully moved, as the songs stretch out to suites. In live performance the band has a tendency to play in the round, as if in the middle of some private ceremony – the better to play off of one another. caroline plays in-studio. - John Schaefer/Caryn Havlik  Set list: "Dark Blue", "Skydiving onto the library roof", "BRJ" Cover of claire rousay's "Peak Chroma":peak chroma by caroline

On this week's episode of The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood, Sonny is joined by Ron Shelton, the writer/director of Bull Durham, to talk about his new book on the making of the film, The Church of Baseball. In addition to discussing the fights over casting, the weirdly lackluster response from test audiences, and the movie's impact on the minor league game writ large, we also chatted about some of Mr. Shelton's other films like White Men Can't Jump and Dark Blue.  Make sure to pick up his book; while you're doing that, the excellent Blu-ray release of Bull Durham is 50 percent off as part of Barnes and Noble's 50 percent off sale on all Criterion discs. (In the podcast, I also mentioned the Arrow Video release of Dark Blue, but you should only pick it up in the United States if you have a region-free Blu-ray player; luckily it's streaming on Prime Video right now for free.)
