EAST COAST PREMIEREBook and Lyrics by Mickle Maher Music by Merel van Dijk and Anthony Barilla Directed by Taibi Magar & Tyler Dobrowsky Commissioned and Co-Produced by Daryl Morey, Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball OperationsPhiladelphia loves sports, so why not a sports-themed musical? Step into the surreal, magical world of Small Ball, where melancholy journeyman basketball player Michael Jordan (no, not that Michael Jordan) has recently started playing in the international league with the Lilliput Existers – as in Lilliput, from Gulliver's Travels. With teammates who are only six inches tall, the team's fortunes, and the post-game press conferences, rest on Michael's shoulders.

Den svenska stormaktstiden i all ära, men den verkliga stormakten i 1600-talets Europa var Frankrike. Under första hälften av seklet lades grunden till en ovanligt stark stat och absolutistisk kungamakt, och under 1600-talets andra hälft dominerade den franske kungen Ludvig XIV – Solkungen i Versailles – den europeiska militära och politiska arenan.Här har vi dock valt en litterär synvinkel: vi möter Frankrike genom Alexandre Dumas och hans roman De tre musketörerna. Har D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, Milady, Rochefort och de andra romangestalterna existerat, eller hittade Alexandre Dumas på allt själv? Och framför allt: var verklighetens kardinal Richelieu lika realpolitiskt hänsynslös på riktigt som han är i romanen och i filmerna, där han brukar framställas som en klassisk superskurk utan tillstymmelse till samvete? Just Richelieu blir föremål för en längre djupdykning: vi följer honom från vaggan till graven, längs hela den framgångsrika och blodbestänkta karriärbana som förde honom från den provinsiella lågadeln till högsta möjliga politiska position. Vi gör också bekantskap med hans lika färgstarka efterträdare som Frankrikes mäktigaste man, den italienskfödde kardinalen Jules Mazarin.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om Frankrike på de tre musketörernas tid – och framför allt om de båda kardinaler som ledde landet när det utvecklades till Europas starkaste stat.Bild: Athos, Porthos, Aramis och d'Artagnan konfronterar Jussac och kardinalens gardister.

Whether you're already a Freemason or simply curious about these remarkable Lodges, this webinar offers a unique glimpse into a side of Freemasonry you may not have seen before.
Episode 215 has a rather grandiose title but let us stop for a second and take stock. This southern land, swept by thunderstorms that appear as if by magic, and lash the landscape, rumble across the stubby veld, slinging lightning like a million volt silver sjambok, shaking rocks with their deep growls, bring everything back to life. The air before this denizens of the blue sky pass by is sullen, the horizon hazed over, after the rains everything is crisp, visibility can change in seconds from a few hundred metres to a few hundred kilometres. I was raised in Nkwalini valley in northern Zululand, where the mysterious Mhlathuze River flows powerfully after these storms, the valley is ringed by mountains that rise from 650 feet above sea level feet to over 3000 feet a few minutes drive up around Melmoth. And from these heights, you can see the Indian Ocean 40 kilometres away after one of these refreshing storms. Southern Africa had been drying out substantially throughout the first half of the 19th Century. Historian Charles Ballard notes that climatic research has pointed to opposite extremes of weather patterns in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The climatic regime in southern Africa of dry and warm conditionsin the early nineteenth century was the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere's colder and wetter weather at this time. Some animals, like humans, would not survive this —others like the ostrich were in their element. Turning to Natal, much of the interior was unstable, drought and famine led early white settlers to believe it had always been devoid of people whereas it had been abandoned. There is a difference between the two concepts — never settled or previously settled? Nguni speaking refugees, not always amaZulu, arrived back in their homes in Natal through this period only to find that the settler community considered them to be aliens and a race of "vagabonds." It became a conventional ideological tool for those who sought to justify the expropriation of land. The people were driven away by a long list of threats, military, environmental, meteorological. With that preamble, let's focus initially on the strange saga of John Dunn who has appeared in all his curious glory in prevous episodes. Cetshwayo gave John Dunn ten oxen and a tract of land. By July, the former border agent had resigned his job and moved into Zululand permanently. He'd had it with the British. The tract of land given to Dunn was extensive, in the immediate coastal region of southern Zululand known as Ungoye, which extended from Ngoye forest all the way down to the lower Thukela. Shortly after he moved in, Dunn took many wives. By1860 he was regarded as one of the most influential chiefs in the Zulu kingdom, ruling over more than 50 square kilometers of land and thousands of subjects. By 1860 Dunn was the main source of fireams entering Zululand, and these items rapidly replaced cattle as the main payment for lobola.

On Episode #140, Jethro and Lindsay marvel that they're recording another episode. And, oh, the stories they tell! Lindsay starts us off with a woman who had many things to do before New Year's Eve – including texting her drug dealer for some fentanyl. Only one hitch in that plan – she didn't quite text the right person. Hilarity and handcuffs ensue! Then Jethro shares a story of a robbery gone awry in Yorkshire in the U.K. It involves a retired construction worker who just wanted some clean clothes. But when a youthful criminal decided to rob the laundromat, our retired hero had other plans. It involves wet pants. (But truth be told, what good stories don't?) Onward into the Shallow End!

Editor: These are my thoughts following the TCEQ/Musket Corp. public hearing on discharge in Elmendorf Oct. 7. Elmendorf was doomed to the kind of business activity Musket Corp. is proposing in its permit application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) the day the land was sold to what became Alamo Junction.

Camari is the executive pastry chef at the Michelin-starred restaurant The Musket Room and at Raf's, a French-Italian restaurant and bakery, both in New York City. Camari joins host Jessie Sheehan to chat about her Tres Leches Cake, which features a combination of cow, sheep, and goat milk and is composed of two layers of tres leches cake and one layer of pain perdu. The confection gets topped with chocolate branches and jerk ice cream, which adds a sweet, spicy, and slightly smoky flavor, says Camari, who is known for infusing Caribbean and Jamaican flavors into her desserts.Thank you to King Arthur Baking Company and Kerrygold for supporting our show.

In episode 681: Face-Off With Bigfoot, Musket returns to the show to share his gripping tales of encounters with the unexplained. He begins by recounting a chilling Bigfoot sighting in the Olympic National Park, where he came face to face with a massive, humanoid creature that left him questioning reality. Adding to the tension, this sighting happened in the same area where a missing person was mysteriously found, leading Musket to wonder if there's a connection between the two events. He also recalls a night hike near Mount Rainier with his wife, where they were followed by strange glowing eyes that seemed to observe their every move. These experiences led Musket, previously a skeptic, to begin questioning the very reality he once thought was true.

In episode 680: Nalusa Forest Demon, Musket, a lifelong outdoorsman and paranormal skeptic, recounts a chilling encounter in Washington state. What begins as a simple camping trip spirals into an eerie experience as Musket and his friends encounter an unsettling presence in the wilderness—something that defies explanation and challenges their understanding of reality. His story takes an unexpected twist as Musket and his friends witness strange movements, hear unsettling sounds, and ultimately face an entity that seems to vanish into thin air. Musket's detailed recounting is unnerving and this story was not the only one. He will be joining the show, once again, this week to share even more encounters that are sure to leave you questioning this reality.

Devin Faraci joins jD today on the podcast. Beyond listening in on Devin's Pavement origin story, you'll hear him wax nostalgic about song 30.Transcript:Track 2:[1:00] Previously on the Pavement Top 50.Track 1:[1:02] At 31, give it a day. What do you think, Scott from North Dakota?This is a gem, and I love it so much. I love the whole EP.This would have been something I did not discover until well after I knew all of Wowie Zowie, all of Bright in the Corners, and it wasn't something I easily could have. have it.Track 2:[1:27] Hey, this is Westy from the Rock and Roll Band Pavement, and you're listening to the Countdown.Track 3:[1:34] Hey, it's JD here, back for another episode of our Top 50 Countdown for Seminole Indie Rock Band Pavement.Week over week, we're going to count down the 50 essential pavement tracks that you selected with your very own Top 20 ballads.I then tabulated the results using using an abacus and 28 grams of the best weed you've ever smoked, along with some drifter named Larry.How will your favorite songs fare in the rankings? Well, you'll need to tune in to find out. So there's that.This week I'm joined by Pavement superfan Devin from LA.Devin, how the fuck are you? I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good. Really glad to be here.Amazing to be on the World Wide Web talking about Pavement so many decades after I first started listening to them. Well, let's get right into that then.Let's go back a few decades and get your Pavement Origins story.You know, I have a lot of Pavement history. I started in around 92.Oh, wow. Yeah, so Slanted and Enchanted.And I'm pretty sure it was Summer Babe Winter Version that was the first song that I heard, I have to guess.Track 3:[2:50] And it was a weird time in my life I was a college student, I had been kicked out of college. Oh, shit. I had earned a 0.0 GPA.And not for cool reasons, mind you.I think that it was 1992, and my college had what they called a VAX computer system, which was the early internet.And I was on the early internet all night playing multi-user dungeon games and did not go to school.Track 3:[3:24] So I got kicked out of college for playing video games. Really ahead of my time.It's like big Gen Z energy, I feel like.And I was living with my dad in Illinois, who was living in the suburbs, and it was the most miserable year of my life because the alternative rock world that I had been in back when I was living in New York City had exploded.And I was stuck in the Chicago suburbs and I couldn't drive.And all of these amazing things were happening and I was not part of any of it.But there was a cool record store. And so I discovered Pavement and I have loved that band ever since.And, um, yes, that's my original pavement experience trapped in the suburbs of Chicago, New York city kid trapped in the suburbs of Chicago, uh, watching the world explode into cool alternative rock shit all around me, but so, so far away.Track 3:[4:24] So what was it like when you walked into that record store? Was it the album cover that got you?Had you heard of the band through like zines or anything like that?Or was it just like a random purchase? I probably had heard it from a magazine, probably Alternative Press, if I had to guess back then. I read that shit religiously.And I might have already heard the song, but I'll tell you, man, when I heard that album, it was like somebody had finally recorded music that was aimed directly at my particular personal brain.Wow. You know, just sort of the discordant, weird lo-fi sound they had on that first record, especially back in the day.But with melodic pop sensibilities, it was incredible to me.It really was incredible.And Malkmus' voice just really was, I mean, just got me, just nailed me.Track 3:[5:15] Yeah, it's very, I mean, they're very unique in a, in a world at the time where things were not yet starting to sound the same, but, and our guys were signing everybody out of Seattle.They could, you know, this bright beacon of hope from Stockton, California, um, really shone a light for a lot of people.I wish I could have been there at the time, but I didn't catch on until the late nineties.So yeah no i was pretty happy to be there which means that i got to experience some pretty cool pavement stuff in real time um you know the greatest t-shirt i ever owned was a pavement t-shirt it had two fried eggs on the tits yes uh it's one of the great t-shirts of all time but i also have two really memorable i've seen pavement a few times but i have two very memorable pavement concert experiences all right share them uh so one of them was at the tibetan freedom Freedom concert in New York City.And there were two stages. And I forget who was up against Pavement on the other stage at the time, but nobody came to see Pavement.And so it was this big stage at Randall Island in New York City and Pavement playing.And it was like me and 30 guys.Track 3:[6:30] Are you serious? There was nobody there. I got right to the front. Like it was incredible.They were really playing to like the sparsest crowd you could imagine.It was, I honestly forget who was up against them, but that was packed.Um, and, and, and the pavement was, it was dead. It was just incredible.Um, which I'm sure wasn't great for the band, but for me, uh, was a delight.I mean, just an absolute delight, but the greatest pavement concert experience I've ever had.Track 3:[7:00] They did a secret show at CBGB, which is a very small venue and also disgusting and very historic.And so I got tickets to this secret CBGB show, and I honestly forget what album this is, so I don't remember what they were playing.But the big memory of the secret CBGB show is the band had been on for a minute.And then Keanu Reeves entered CBGB wearing a tuxedo with a woman in a evening dress, evening gown of some kind, like they had just come from an award show or something. It looked like.And every time the band finished a song, Keanu Reeves would yell, Freebird, which is something I know.Track 3:[7:52] Uh, for maybe the younger listeners don't realize that there was a period in rock music history where people would go to concerts and yell free bird at the bands in between every single song.And I will tell you that shit did not fly with a pavement crowd.Uh, the pavement crowd was not excited to hear this.And so that was a very strange experience, but what it made it even stranger was years later reading an interview with the band.And they talked about that night. And they talked about how Keanu Reeves had tried to come backstage and meet them. And they turned him away.Because the other thing people have to remember is that in the 90s, Keanu Reeves before The Matrix was not cool.He had started making a bunch of like really crummy movies and sort of for Gen X, Keanu Reeves sort of had crossed a boundary that we did not necessarily like.And so he was not cool at the time.That's why when he was cast in The Matrix, it was kind of a joke.Like, you know, you couldn't believe that that guy was going to be in this movie.So they didn't let him come backstage.Track 3:[8:54] And then they talked about, after the show, they were leaving the venue and they were walking somewhere and they walked past this very famous downtown restaurant, Veselka, which is like the heart of the village.There's a documentary out about it right now, actually. But anyway, they were walking past Veselka and there by himself sitting in a window, sadly eating Ukrainian food, was Keanu Reeves.And they felt terrible that they had turned him away from backstage.Oh, that's a fantastic story.Yeah. Jesus.Keanu Reeves yelling Freebird. I can't believe it. It was unreal.And a friend of mine, who's actually now a music executive, heckled Keanu at the show.As Keanu was leaving CB, my friend yelled, Dogstar, love that band, which was Keanu's band at the time, his bad band at the time. So, yeah. Yeah.So are there any records that you cleave to now, or do you go back, for nostalgia's sake, to Slanted?Track 3:[10:11] Man, you know, it's a great... I mean, I gotta say, for me, Crooked Rain.Crooked Rain is the peak, I think. And I love every Pavement record.But Crooked Rain is the one that I just find myself drawn to again and again and again and again.Again um you know and that was the album you know where they started getting like videos on mtv which was a truly bizarre experience too uh you know when cut your hair debuted on 120 minutes and made its way into regular mtv programming uh was very strange because this was such an odd band uh for the time you know and and and crooked yeah crooked rain is i mean i love all of them Wowie zowie's amazing, bright in the corners.But it's crooked rain.Track 3:[10:59] Yeah, I think so. I just went for a walk earlier this morning.It's unseasonably warm here in Toronto.And I went for a walk and I just had a hankering to listen to Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.So I threw it on and walked until it was over.And I just forgot, even though I know deep in my bones that it's a great album, like I had forgot just how cohesive it is and how big it sounds.And really it sounds completely different than slanted right yeah i know it's a total step forward but i think what's amazing you know so in the 90s i was a real diehard flannel guy you know i had my real deep opinions on selling out and for crooked rain they went much more rock oriented slanted than they had been on, on, uh, slanted.And, um, but it worked like there was no sense of selling out.Uh, it was more like a band fulfilling its promise.Um, even though I love the lo-fi stuff, you know, uh, you know, Westing by Musket and Sexton. I love that. Like that, love that noise. Give it to me.Uh, but, uh, but yeah, I mean, Crooked Rain, it just, it feels like a band blossoming into what they can be.Track 3:[12:18] Oh that's nice i like it yeah is there anything else you want to share about your pavement origins i mean i guess just that.Track 3:[12:33] Pavement is a really special band to me you know partially because of um, Where I was when I found them, you know, I was so trapped in the suburban hell that I just didn't understand and I was not part of, you know, this was the era when I had, um, like a blue undercut.Like I had like that top knot thing going on the sides and back of my head shaved and my hair was dyed a little blue and I wore ripped jeans and flannels.And when I was walking to work in the suburbs along the side of the road where they had no sidewalks, I had a car drive past me and throw a beer can at me and shout the F slur at me as they drove by.So I'm not saying that I'm an oppressed person, but I'm saying that I was living in an environment that was not friendly to me and my kind of people.Track 3:[13:27] And I heard this band and it was like somebody talking directly to me.And so as a result, it has always been just an important band to me.And because I am still partially that Gen X, quote unquote, hardcore, never sell out kind of a guy, I love that Pavement never sold out.I love that Pavement never ended up becoming some kind of a big, massive band that like the worst people you know got into. to.Pavement has gotten more well-known and it has a great legacy, but it's closer to the way that the Velvet Underground used to be.The Velvet Underground has sort of crossed over.People know the Velvet Underground now, but there was a very long time where you could say to somebody that you love the Velvet Underground and if they got it, you knew they were a cool person that you were going to like.Pavement has that right now.If I tell somebody I love Pavement and they They actually know Pavement.They don't just know two songs or something.Track 3:[14:35] Then I know, oh, that's a person who I can be friends with. That's a person who gets me. Because part of the deal is that Pavement...It's not just this amazing music, but there's a thing I love about Pavement, which is that the kind of brain that I think it takes to really appreciate Pavement, because so many of the lyrics are close to nonsense, but not nonsense.And it requires a brain that's willing to engage with that.And I think it's sort of like really fun and smart at the same time that it can be incredibly dumb sometimes.But, you know, that's, I think, the defining line for Pavement for me.Those lyrics that, like, have silly things in them and have nonsensical things in them, but very often they add up to something that is emotionally true that you can really understand, even if you can't understand it as language necessarily.And also every now and again drops in bizarre stuff that's like smart people stuff, you know?You know, how many bands have songs about how the kids that made acid couldn't get laid?I mean, like, you know, that's like an amazing thing to drop into the middle of a song out of nowhere.So, you know, yeah, so that's my Pavement, yeah.That's nice. I like it. Well, what do you say we take a quick break and come back to the other side and talk about song number 30?Sounds good. All right, let's do that.Track 2:[16:01] Hey, this is Bob Mustanovich from Pavement. Thanks for listening.And now on with a countdown.Track 1:[16:09] 30.Track 3:[19:08] Song number 30 on the countdown comes from Pavement's fifth and final album, Terror Twilight.It's also the third song from this album to make the top 50 thus far.At track 30, we have Spit on a Stranger.What the hell do you make of this song, Devin?Track 3:[19:29] I'm really glad I got this song because I love this song.And the thing about this song is that there's a real tension within the song that truly appeals to me, because I believe that musically and in the verses, this is the most romantic song that Pavement has ever recorded.100%. Like some of these verses are things that you would say at a wedding.Track 3:[19:58] And then you get to the chorus and there's the you're a bitter stranger.And it's obvious that it's about a breakup of some kind, but it has those that tinge of love in the verses.And again, musically that I think make it really beautiful and really melancholic in a really incredible way.The song, you know, you're a bitter stranger, but the song is not bitter.Uh which i think is amazing and i just tender yeah i love the the the the tension within it i just it's it's so good because it's not an obvious tension like if you just listen to this song and don't pay attention to the lyrics it's just a beautiful lovely song that uh if you catch a couple of the verse lyrics you go that's really gorgeous you know um and then and then we listen to the whole thing there's like a lot more going on i i i adore this song yeah it's a it's a it's a standout on terror twilight for sure not just because it's a single it it just i don't know it just pops off that record um what's your relationship with the song do you remember hearing it for the first time or do you remember what that was like.Track 3:[21:10] I don't remember hearing it for the first time. I can't remember if this was a single before the album came out or not. I don't recall.I believe it was. So I probably heard it as a single.I'm sure I heard it on the radio or I bought the single before the album came out. But I don't really recall.I remember when this came out and this album came out that this was a song that I fixated on pretty intensely at the time. This was kind of a track I kept going back to again and again and again and again.And I just I just fell immediately in love with it.It's funny, because now, with many years gone by, and the world having moved on and learning more about the making of this record.Track 3:[21:58] There's something beautiful about this being the opening track on their final record, because now I know behind the scenes, they were in the process of breaking up.And so in some ways, this is a song about that process in some ways, you know, and that speaks to what the band was going through.So I think that's a cool thing that has kind of grown on me over the years.But like this is definitely a song that i have from just again from the very beginning, just latched on to i just think that some of those lyrics are just so beautiful and i just think that they're so lovely because i think that they're beautiful in a way uh.Track 3:[22:41] That feels relatable. It's not over the top.So it's like, however you feel, whatever it takes, whenever it's real, whatever awaits, whatever you need, however so slight, whenever it's real, whenever it's right.I mean, that's like a beautiful everyday idea of what love is, right?It's a beautiful everyday piece of it. And then again, obviously, the choruses get a little different.But I really just keyed into that because this is not a band that traditionally had a lot of songs that I would have felt super romantic about.This is not a band that has a lot of songs that I would say, oh, I would love to play this for someone to let them know how I feel about them.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a lot of those.But this is one that does have- You're not going to play Debris Slide.Track 3:[23:31] Uh, but this is, this is one of those. And, and so, yeah, it's always been a very special song to me. What do you think about the production values on Terror Twilight and this song specifically?When you think back to putting on Slanted and Enchanted and hearing that real lo-fi and that crushing riff and that drum riff as well on Summer Babe, and then flash forward like seven years, eight years, and you've got this song that is, like you said, melancholic and beautiful.But so lush as well. Yeah, it's a very thick production. It's very crystal clear.Track 3:[24:14] I mean, I think it's really important for me, because of how I experience pavement, I experience them in real time.The gap between 92 and 99 is enormous.I mean, just sort of like what the world was like and what the music scene was like.And so in 99 was the year of the second Woodstock.That's right. And so we're looking at a world with all of this new metal and stuff, which, as a guy who had been a big...Track 3:[24:46] I was a metal and punk guy, you know, when I was younger.And when grunge broke through and heavy rock hit the radio airwaves and MTV, I was like, we won.We did it. Like, this is incredible. This is really great music.And then that all turned into Nickelback and Linkin Park and stuff like that, which I hated.And so by 99, I felt like we had lost the war.A lot of what I was listening to was more electronic at that point.You know, a lot of the bands I liked had sort of moved in that direction.And this gorgeous, gentle sound felt like an evolution that I could roll with because the rest of the world had become so ugly in so many ways.The rock music scene had become so gross.And so as a result, this album sounding this way, I think, feels alternative to what was happening then.Ah that's nice yeah i would i would say you're bang on the money because uh this was the time where pop music really reared its head you know with the spice girls and n-sync and backstreet boys and then on the flip side of the coin mainstream wise hip-hop was finally you know crushing through so rock really was left behind and the flag bearers for it were pretty trash Yeah.Track 3:[26:03] You know? So for this band to come out and release Terror of Twilight at the time that they did, you're so right.It was maybe the last battle, but it was a battle nevertheless.And also, I mean, again, I mean, for me, I mean, I'm going to be very personal here. You know, when I first heard Slanted and Enchanted, I was 19.And, you know, seven years later, I'm heading to my late 20s and I'm about to be 30. And a lot changed.Changes in that decade, you know, a lot changes.And I had begun a process of growing and changing in a lot of different ways and that the band grew and changed worked for me.I didn't need them to stay what they were, I think is the thing.Track 3:[26:51] Yeah, and it just leads to like, what would a sixth album have looked like?I'm so pleased that, you know, despite two reunions, they haven't ventured down that path.We're just left with these five great records and multiple EPs that stand the test of time, quite frankly. Yeah, no, I agree.I have the controversial opinion that I'm really glad when bands don't do new records or I'm not going to say, I don't know how to say this in a way that I'm not going to get in trouble for, but like, it's not good that John Lennon died, but I'm glad the Beatles didn't get back together for Live Aid and then release some terrible late 80s record. Do you know what I mean?Like, so I obviously it's horrible. Like, it's terrible that John Lennon was shot dead.But I'm glad that today I don't have Kurt Cobain on Twitter because I'm afraid of what he would be saying.And so as a result, sometimes it's good when things just end.Track 3:[27:54] And these days, people don't let things end. And the fact that the band Pavement has let Pavement be a thing that exists in this one decade.Decade uh i mean it still exists because they do reunions but like it is of that decade they're not out here trying to do new songs for soundtracks or shit like that i really respect that and i like that me too i i couldn't agree with you more i think um there's a time and place element to it all like you said uh i discovered them when i was uh just approaching 30 probably just approaching So I got to go back and zip through it, but through my 30s.And it was a similar type thing that you experienced because you know that the difference between 30 and 40 is enormous as well.And so by the time I got to really experience Terror Twilight in a way that it was meant to be experienced after, you know, um, pouring through the other four records, it, it did live up to that for me.Track 3:[29:02] It's so funny. We're such old motherfuckers and the band's a bunch of old motherfuckers.And this is honestly, especially the early records are young people music, but it still really holds up as an old guy.I mean, like Crooked Rain is young people music. They're over there talking shit on other bands and stuff like that.I mean, like, that's what you do when you're a young little snobby hipster.Uh and here we are i'm 50 man and uh i still listen to the exact same tracks i listened to when i was 19 um so either i haven't grown at all in any acceptable or understandable way or perhaps this music is eternal and speaks to us at every stage of life oh i'll take the latter then.Track 3:[29:46] Yeah absolutely well devin it's been absolutely a thrill to have you on and you know to talk Walk through song number 30, Spit on a Stranger.I'm wondering if you have anything you need to plug or you would like to plug.Yeah, so I have a couple of podcasts that I do, and I have a Patreon where I do writing about pop culture stuff.So you can go visit that, patreon.com slash cinema, sanga, S-A-N-G-H-A.And you can go join and get access to the writing and get access to my numerous podcasts that happen over there where i am being told today my sound quality is pretty good i'm very happy to hear this because this is my number one concern in life is how my sound quality is so yeah it's great thanks so much thank you for having me i really appreciate it all right wash your goddamn hands thanks.Track 2:[30:40] For listening to meeting malchus a pavement podcast where we count down the top 50 pavement tracks as selected by you.If you've got questions or concerns please shoot me an email JD at MeetingMalchemist.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/meeting-malkmus-a-pavement-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode Valerie welcomes special guest Brian Dille, a BYU alumnus and member of a professional organization responsible for accrediting institutions of higher learning in the USA. This series tackles the complex and pressing issue of academic freedom at Brigham Young University, especially in light of recent curriculum changes where the “musket” talk was made required reading for all incoming BYU freshmen. Brian and Valerie delve into the definition and historical context of academic freedom, exploring its crucial role in scientific progress and how it relates to current issues connected to BYU's relationship with academic accreditation. Friday's episode stresses the impact of the "musket talk" on all individuals at BYU and how integration of this talk signals not only concern for academic freedom but also the need for ongoing corrective dialogue inviting love, inclusion, and reform in an effort to protect those on the margins at church and on the campuses of church-operated schools. Join Valerie and Brian for both of these powerful episodes as they navigate some crucial Latter Day Struggles with respect, insight, and a firm commitment to honest discourse.

I had a great friend called Mark Porchani, who was, in those days, he was an avid cassette taper of all the radio shows.I believe that he still has his archive stretching back then.Track 1:[3:52] So he might be someone that would be good for you to speak to.Holy shit. Yeah, man. That would be cool to get digitized. Yeah.Track 4:[3:59] Man.Track 1:[3:59] Well I can we can speak after this but I'll I'll yeah I think he would be someone really fascinating for you to speak to as well anyway digressing so yeah so I would have heardPavement on John Peele but then I missed their I think it was 92 they toured Slatted and Enchanted, and they played at Strathclyde Uni Strathclyde University in Glasgow, but I missedthat gig by a couple of days oh man yeah man yep same thing happened to Nirvana when they played the QMU in Glasgow I missed it I bought the single, three days after they playedyeah, good luck but I mean I got to see Pavement on all the other tours after that you did?Yeah yeah so oh you're a turbo fan man awesome man yeah yeah so Crooked Rain, and then yeah Breaking the Corners and.Track 4:[4:55] Hi what do you think it is about the uk that that really um they adopted pavement in a way in a way that the rest of the world just didn't you know like they were popular in the us ofcourse and popular in canada but it seems like the uk and scotland like it's much bigger than that yeah it's it's exactly that it's almost the same way people are about like the rocky horrorshow.[5:25] So i'm i'm a huge fan of the rocky horror show huge fan of pavement and it's kind of like it for a long time like in the mid 90s it was certainly it was like a barometer you know touse of okay these people seem kind of cool do you like pavement yes awesome you know so it's like like not not being like you know cool and elitist but just kind of okay these are peoplewho are obviously switched on they're probably into the same kind of literature and other bands that we would like so then it's just i think they were just such a are they still are they're justan amazing stepping stone into so much other you know literature and and architecture and psychology just the the subject matter of the songs once you actually delve through the lyricsit's yeah it puts you on a lot of different nice paths i would say yeah but i think especially like so i'm from glasgow so as you've experienced a glasgow audience we're very vocal and wereally we really attach ourselves you know it's the cities you know there's a lot of uh emotion there a lot of it's centered towards football teams but it's also bands we really really love ourbands.I'd say the next kind of Samoan city is probably like Manchester or Liverpool where it's the same kind of vibe as Glasgow.Track 1:[6:45] Wow. I visited both on my UK tour when I followed Pavan.I didn't tour, but I followed their tour. I went to Manchester.I was only there for like 30 hours, so I didn't get to see much, but I saw a show.So that was cool. What was your favorite tour that you saw them on?Track 4:[7:06] It would have been Brighton and the Corners because they played at the Glasgow School of Art.Track 1:[7:16] Okay. So I was studying just around the corner from it at the time.Track 4:[7:20] So I went up to the art school and I knew the guy called Simon Fox.Track 1:[7:27] Who was the entertainment officer there.Track 4:[7:29] So he was the one responsible for booking all the bands for that year.And I said to him you know like I'm obviously a massive fan is it possible to maybe see the guys before the sound check you know just just to say hi and stuff and he was like well wecan't do that but because we knew each other as well so he was like, do you want to come to the after show and I was like yeah, so yeah so yeah so there was a bunch of us went and Ithink it was five of us that went there and then And watched an amazing gig, a really, really great gig.And then we went to the after show afterwards and got hung up with them.I had a chat with Malcolmus for about two hours and just such, such engaging people.Track 1:[8:16] You know.Track 4:[8:16] And like met the whole band. Yeah.Track 1:[8:20] I had on like an old.Track 4:[8:21] It was a t-shirt that it turns out that Mark Ibold designed it.Track 1:[8:29] So I got it on the I got it on the Crooked Rain tour so it's like this kind of cross stitch thing, and then at the gig at the art school like, I bowed I was like can I buy that t-shirt off youbecause we don't have any left and I was like nah I love this man but they were just I mean I think they spent, easily five six hours just chilling with the fans in the after show and justbeing just really really nice guys and, And you nailed Malcomus down for that long. Yeah, yeah, man.Nicely done. I think I really annoyed, I don't know if you know.Track 4:[9:06] There's a really kind of very important band from Glasgow called The Pastels.Track 1:[9:11] So they were both on Geographic Domino at the same time.Track 4:[9:17] Okay.Track 1:[9:17] Yeah, Domino. So Pastels were the support band.Track 4:[9:20] Oh, okay. For that gig. And then Stephen.Track 1:[9:24] The singer, so he was talking to Malcomus and I came down the stairs was in Spotted Malcomus and I think I kind of interrupted him being a bit of a fanboy and I think Stephen gota little bit annoyed at me Stephen Pastel got a little bit annoyed at me but you know I think I've, we've made up since then I'm sure so well I mean.Track 3:[9:45] Man yeah so what was it about that show other than meeting the band or was that was that why that was the the show is it because you met the man, no i mean i think i bumped intohim again after other gigs as well and like, i just think it was uh it was that i think that that was peak i think that was just it was like they were just completely riding the zeitgeist and yeahthey were they were on their absolute a game you know and just yeah i just i just felt like they could have you know i can, thrown out a can down a set of stairs and it would still theywould still have got something really musical from it and you know just create some wonderful piece of music so what's your record which which is your record the one that you cleave tothe most right, tough call right sophie's choice yeah totally man but the track that i always go back to is here, like yeah but actually that's just my go-to and i was actually i was playing i'vegot two kids i've got a nine-year-old and a seven-year-old and uh i was playing it and my daughter was like is that your band and i was like no no this is uncle steven and his band it's uhit's not us but we would maybe aspire to being a tenth of that or even 1% of that.Track 4:[11:09] I think that's I think it's the same for a lot of people who've got so much attachment to that track but it's the same as any song really I mean it's for me having grown up you knowthat was my kind of teenage formative years.[11:26] Late teenage formative years in the early 20s and, just so many memories memories on you know when i bought that record or you know any of the records and you knowremembering being at different friends at their house and sticking vinyl on and listening to it for the first time and people there was a a guy uh i think his name was dawson he was acomplete metalhead uh he was a friend of a friend and he was like what is this you know and i was like oh this is paving this is a new record and he was he was hooked you know fromfirst listen yeah man we we just put it on.Track 1:[12:01] I think it was.Track 4:[12:02] Um, it was crooked rain put on and just, you know, play that four or five times in a row.Track 1:[12:08] And he was, he was like, this is awesome stuff. And then from that, that's a fucking record.Track 4:[12:12] Yeah.Track 1:[12:12] Yeah. I mean, that's fine.Track 4:[12:14] It's that they are just such a good, great gateway band.Track 1:[12:17] You know?Track 4:[12:18] I think they're like now I would say, the band that I'm probably equally as passionate about after them would be the Super Furry Animals Oh cool.Track 1:[12:31] I'm doing a podcast about them next week. Awesome man Awesome.Yeah It'll be out in the fall, that podcast will be out in the fall but I'm doing it next week It's like anyone who's never heard them before they're so lucky because they've got such a,beautiful back catalogue you know such a wealth of material there as well well we'll have to talk about them when we get off the get off the podcast yeah definitely because i would like toget your take what do you say we get to the main course and we we listen to track number 42 no no no all right just like all right we'll come right back after this break with more from alanand we'll talk Talk about track 42.Track 5:[13:23] Hey, this is Bob Mustanovich from Pavement. Thanks for listening.And now on with a countdown.Track 2:[13:31] 42.Track 6:[13:34] Hey, do you need a reason? Is there a separate season?Track 1:[16:37] Okay, track number 42, Easily Fooled, comes from the Rattled by Da Rush EP, and it's the third track on that EP, and it later appeared on the Sorted Sentinel edition of WowieZowie Reissue, along with its EP bandmate, False Scorpion, and it was track number 22 on that second disc of the Sorted Sentinels collection, the reissue.So Alan yeah my man what do you think of Easily Fooled love it love it love it love it it's on like I said to you off off air it's, probably one of my favourite tracks alongside here yeah it'sjust such an amazing track love the, the meandering nature of it just really.[17:26] Acerbic lyrics and yeah like it's awesome awesome track to jam along to, yeah I bet I bet it would yeah because it is very, jammy isn't it yeah absolutely and it's it's one of thoseones most of their stuff the more you listen it's like a lovely painting it's like an an aural painting it's the more you listen to it there's a new layer there's like a little little piano in the leftspeaker then there's a little guitar scrape in the right and you don't really notice maybe the first couple of listens and you hear these lovely, almost I think it's Malcomus kind of doing somekind of faux, mick jagger kind of high you know like vocal harmonizing rooms it's just it's just all these love you can just imagine them in the studio you know like or you know anothertrack another track another track you know and it's rare for them right yeah well yeah i think yeah apart from when like stanovich putting on they don't seem like studio builders to methey seem like one one take wonders you know yeah yeah i think it depends on the record so the fact that he's singing backup vocals with himself is wild.I love it. That whole single EP.[18:40] Awesome awesome yeah it has my it has my favorite line as well but yeah uh it takes centuries to build in seconds to fall oh just lovely lovely poetry yeah so yeah it is there'sthere's some real lovely uh and i love the rhythm yeah i love the rhythm of his lyrics i don't need a time i don't need an internal cuter yeah right like and the timekeeper part strikes mebecause the song starts with just bass guitar and vocal and then in the like third line of the song the drums come in yeah and it lifts the song like it just lifts it even more yeah that's just thestunning i think you can also hear in like the the latter parts of it it's like it's almost like like it's the kind of genesis for folk jam as well.Track 4:[19:39] Especially some of the vocal deliveries and some of the guitar phrase and the drums.It's like, I only noticed it like last night when I was listening to it.I was like, fuck, that sounds a lot like, I think it's more about the bit of, in folk jam when he starts talking about Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me.Track 1:[19:57] It's that.Track 4:[19:58] Those kind of phrases, you can hear like the, almost as if it's like a quick sketch and that then developed into that track.Track 1:[20:08] That's a...Yep, sorry, everyone froze there, sorry. No, it's okay. It's part of doing this with people from all over the world, right? Yeah.The United Family of Pavement. Yeah. Yeah, like I say, it's so nice to talk to somebody, because I did the whole first part, the whole first season of the show by myself.So it's so cool to hear people's pavement stories and what they think of these songs. Yeah.Track 3:[20:41] Where do you think um what do you think about where it falls easily fooled number 42 it's your favorite song so i'm guessing you wish it were a bit higher top top three and it's topthree for you oh fuck yeah i would say grounded grounded here and easily fooled would be very very tough top three place for me wow so you must be a bit disappointed that it's 42 no it'sif someone here if someone's introduced to it that they've never heard of before then that's what matters it's pavement doesn't matter where it goes they're all fucking number one so youknow, yeah man there is no, bad pavement track even Westing by Musket and Sexton there's a lot of difficult pieces on that but even then there's no bad track on that either no I agree Iagree.Track 1:[21:38] Those first EPs are very different.I like more melodic stuff, but you get that. You get Box Elder right away.Which is fantastic. So dude, you're in a band. Yeah, yeah. Hi.I'm going to do a Pavement pod list again this year. Yep.Where I get people to cover Pavement songs songs and send them in and then i release i release it yeah as awesome as a podcast yeah that's going to come out in july so get cracking onthat.Track 4:[22:23] I'm trying i i'll need i'll need to get in touch with andrew graham and then pass if he doesn't know about you already then i'll connect you guys up um but i think he's he's he's afascinating guy he's got such a yeah again a very um broad musical taste as well like you know he's a thanks i find that pavement fans usually do have pretty broad musical taste yeah yeahyou know they're they're more accepting and they're more open to listen to new and different things yeah yeah but i think i mean i think it's lovely now seeing them because i went to thethe the reunion um yeah gigs on 2010 and that's like it was just amazing to see this new at least one new generation coming up you know and you're going fuck you know like as as cultishas they were the first time around it's great to see them kind of getting their juice you know and like actually you know, making a bit of money off it you know and like just agreed 100 likei hope this is fun in their retirement absolutely man but i don't know if you know the story but well one of the rumors of why why they did the whole reunion concerts, was apparentlyBob.[23:47] Stanovich was like a fucking degenerate gambler and he got in deep to the wrong people for a lot of money and then he approached the guys and went the only way we can makefast cash is if you know these concerts, and he went fuck it we'll do like five to begin with and that'll cover it and then we'll see how it goes and then just snowballed from that holy shityeah but again you don't know if he's, obviously he's a bit of a character so I mean that was it came from his mouth in an interview so you know you don't know if he's the king of bullshitor not so, that's rad yeah man, anything else you want to add about Easily Fooled?Track 1:[24:31] If you've not heard it before go and listen to it and if you've heard it before go and listen to it five more times and just absorb absorb absorb yeah and just and read read the lyrics it'si mean read the lyrics on their own and their own merit and then and you know really listen to them and the kind of cadence and the delivery and and the track when they're when it'splaying yeah Yeah.Lovely, lovely messages.

Hela 6st filmer recenseras i veckans (eller om jag följer den nuvarande trenden: månadens) avsnitt och det är både högt och lågt! Först ut är det en uppföljare som jag har hört enormt mycket gott om; Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Sen är det en otroligt efterlängtad film: The Whale och därefter bedömer jag Jennifer Lopez förädrakunskaper i The Mother, för att sedan se återföreningen mellan Matt Damon och Ben Affleck. Sedan så rundar vi av med den 2:a 3:an under som sågs under samma månad :)! Mycket nöje!
Send us a Text Message.Musket fire, soldiers yelling, chaos. It's the summer of 1782 and Robert Shurtleff lies groaning on the ground, clutching a gash in his forehead. He's been shot at least twice. He can feel a musket ball lodged in his thigh, another in his shoulder. The skirmish is over but that brings no relief to Shurtleff. A fellow infantryman rushes over in search of survivors. “Hospital,” he says. “No,” Shurtleff growls, “let me die.” But the soldier grabs Shurtleff and tosses him onto the back of a horse. Later, he winces in pain, nervous, adrenaline pumping as a doctor stitches up his head wound. The doctor is called away and Shurtleff drags himself off the cot, grabbing a penknife and a needle, he limps out of the tent and off into the woods. He'll remove the musket balls himself. It's too risky. Because, you see, Robert Shurtleff is hiding something, something big, a secret the doctor would have surely uncovered. Robert Shurtleff is not a man at all. He's actually a woman named Deborah Sampson and women are strictly forbidden from fighting in the continental army. But did you know, Deborah Sampson wasn't even the only woman to help form this great nation? Many “founding mothers” have slipped through the cracks of history.

Last time we spoke Hong Rengan was in misery, nothing was going as planned. Li Xiucheng went off on his own to perform a campaign in the east, but it was drawing ire from the foreign community to make Hong Rengans life even worse. To defend Shanghai from Li Xiuchengs men, Ward's mercenary force became the Ever Victorious Army and began to work alongside the foreign community and Qing. Chen Yucheng was hunted down and executed, yet another great Taiping king gone. Zeng Guoquan made an extremely bold move and began a siege of Yuhuatai, a fort guarding Nanjing. Then the foreigners it seems quasi joined the Qing, thus ending any chance of the Taiping earning their support. With what seems the rest of the world against the Taiping, and the enemy nipping at their doors, what could they do to stop the inevitable? #34 This episode is The Taiping Rebellion part 11: The Siege of Heavenly Kingdom Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. Meanwhile, refugees from across Jiangsu and Zhejiang flooded into Shanghai seeked protection. In 1862 alone nearly 1.5 million refugees crammed into the Chinese and foreign held parts of the city. Where there are so many people, comes issues. One particular issue was human waste, with so many people crammed into the city, the waterways literally became clogged with fecal matter and other waste. The rivers were also the primary supply of water for the city and even with the custom of boiling the drinking water, the washing water and that used to prepare food was not. A massive cholera outbreak began in may of 1862 causing the usual symptoms, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Death ran rampant and by June it was a full blown pandemic. 10 to 15 Europeans were dying a day based on records, but obviously the Chinese population suffered the most. Hundreds of people died each day and by July thousands. At its peak the Cholera outbreak killed 3000 people a day in the foreing settlement, the streets were ridden with unburied bodies. Some local Chinese called it “fan sha, the foreign infection”. The pandemic spread, first going north to the Taku forts, then Tianjin where it claimed 20,000 lives in a few weeks. From there it hit Beijing, but it was not limited to this northern route, it also went south and over the Yangtze going into the interior of CHina. Zeng Guofan's HQ was hit and men began to die. 10,000 men under Zeng Guoquan at Yuhuatai became sick, 10,000 more under Bao Chaos army in southern Anhui and Bao Chao himself also became sick. 50% of Zuo Zongtangs army in Zhejiang were sick and with the massive amount of illness, the Xiang army simply could no longer continue to be on the offensive. Zeng Guofan ordered his commanders to distribute Korean ginseng to the sick troops hoping it would at the least alleviate symptoms. Over in Shanghai the British military distributed “cholera belts”, these were wide cummerbunds of flannel wrapped around the persons torso to keep it warm because the belief was the disease was caused by sweaty chills in the bowels. Another British medical officer in Beijing, did not believe the disease was the result of insanitation and instead suspected quote “the operation of certain electrochemical changes in the atmosphere on certain constitutions.” Within Nanjing it seems they fared a bit better, which is understandable as they were more rural and less crowded then places like Shanghai or Tianjin. The disease spread via the trading routes, which were pretty much closed off to the Taiping. Those Taiping around the Shanghai area however got just as smashed by the disease as the rest. The disease would petter off during the winter, but found its way to Manchuria and then Japan. For those of you who know your Bakumatsu period history, the Cholera outbreak began in Shanghai. Overall, in the region surrounding Shanghai for about 40 miles, by September it was estimated by missionaries that cholera had wiped out ⅛ of the population, a population in the several million. Zeng Guoquans position at Yuhuatai was a precarious one, even before Cholera wreaked its ugly head. Zeng Guofan was shocked by his brothers boldness to dig in so close to the heart of the rebellion. When Cholera began to steal away half of Zeng Guoquans forces, his brother dispatched reinforcements, literally everything he could spare but the Xiang army was fewer than 30,000 strong. The men at Yuhuatai held firm in their trenches, fighting off the occasional Nanjing sorties against them from the southern gate. The Cholera epidemic also gave Li Xiucheng an opportunity to breakoff the Shanghai campaign and return to Nanjing, something the Heavenly King was begging him to do. Well after a very long time of ignoring the poor heavenly king, Li Xiucheng decided in the late summer to withdrew to Suzhou where he gather 3 separate armies to form a relief expedition back to Nanjing. Each army had its own objective: one was going to attack Bao Chao in southern Anhui, one was going to attack the Xiang and Qing naval forces and logistics line and the third led by Li Xiucheng personally would attack Zeng Guoquan's force at Yuhuatai. By late September his armies were marching, with 120,000 under his immediate command. Rumors at the time talked about his force being as large as 300 to a possible 600,000 men. When Geng Guofan received reports of the Li Xiuchengs force moving back to lift the siege on Nanjing he began to frantically ship provisions and supplies to his brother, but there was simply no way he could send enough men to hold off such a goliath army. Bao Chao was busy fighting in southern Anhui and likewise Duolonga had chased Chen Yucheng north, despite receiving direct orders to turn back to help at Nanjing. It seems the Manchu commander was a bit jealous of Zeng Guofan's brother and was dissatisfied with the special treatment of the Zeng family members. So after the death of Chen Yucheng he went northwest into Shaanxi to suppress another rebellion that was going on at the time, remember there's so many simultaneous rebellions. The Dungan Rebellion was a Muslim rebellion led primarily by Hui groups in Shaanxi, Gangsu and Ningxia. It was a brutal and bloody conflict and would claim the life of Duolonga two years later. The assault upon Yuhuatai would commence on October the 13th, while Zeng Guofan was tossing as many reinforcements as he could to help his brother, but these figures were in the mere hundreds. Zeng Guofan sent letters to his brother trying to raise his morale, claiming Li Xiucheng would require incredible logistical capabilities to keep his army provisioned and perhaps it would lead to his downfall, but privately he was falling into despair. He had this to write in his diary “Last night, I thought about my brother Guoquan, facing danger in ten thousand forms. Anxiety burned my heart. I repaired to my inner chamber and tried laying out scenarios on a Go board [to distract myself]. Then I paced back and forth, circling the room. At eleven o'clock I went to bed but could not fall asleep. Sometime after three in the morning I finally slept, and had nightmares.” It is alleged, Zeng Guofan began to stop sleeping and refused any visitors while he received daily letters from his brother fanning his anxiety. In one letter dated on October 24th, Zeng Guoquan said his forces were holding the Taiping at bay after 7 days of constant attack. He also noted the enemy were using new weapons purchased from the foreigners, that fired explosive shells, “luodi kaihua pao, shells that bloom like flowers when they fall to earth”. It was two days later, Zeng Guofan learned another Taiping army of at least 100,000 led by Li Xiuchengs cousin the Attending king had left Zhejiang province to help attack the Xiang forces at Yuhuatai. The report was greatly delayed, by the time it reached Zeng Guofan, that said army had been marching for over 3 weeks. There were no letters from his brother after that. Riddled with anxiety, Zeng Guofan wondered about the fate of his brother. It would turn out his brother was hit by shrapnel from a shell, it struck his face and nearly killed him. Zeng Guoquan was still alive, but there was basically no chance he could escape Yuhuatai. Zeng Guofan pleaded with Li Hongzhang to help send reinforcements, but Li could spare none, though he did recommend sending the EVA force up river using steamships to help. Zeng Guofan was truly desperate as he allowed the EVA force to help, but this did not change the fact it would take weeks for them to get to Nanjing. In the meantime Zeng Guofan sent orders to his brother to retreat at any possible moment the enemy left an opening to flee. His brother refused, and while this sounds like a bit crazy, in reality Zeng Guoquans forces were dishing terrible casualties to the Taiping. The defenses at Yuhaitai were firm with heavy walls and trenches. Each time the Taiping launched an attack several thousand of them paid for it while Zeng Guoquans men faced casualties in the hundreds. While Li Xiucheng's sappers mined under the outer walls of Yuhaitai, the defenders frantically fed the cannons and fired their matchlocks at the Taiping. The defenders tried their best to gauge where the sappers were digging to breach their tunnels before they got under the walls, but just incase they began to build secondary walls in the interior. Zeng Guofan was so afraid for his brother, he even wrote to his eldest son Jize, in Hunan province asking him to leave home for the first time to come and join him at his HQ in Anqing. Yet Zeng Guoquan managed to hold on, his men wrecked the Taiping tunnels before they could breach his walls. The Xiang force on Yuhaitai survived 45 days of attacks and Li Xiucheng finally broke off the attack on November 26st, absolutely incredible. It turns out Zeng Guofans words of comfort to his brother proved true, Li Xiuchengs logistics failed him. Li Xiucheng was forced to use stores from Nanjing and this began to threaten the city, alongside this the army he sent to attack the Xiang/Qing naval forces failed. Winter was coming and Li Xiuchengs men didnt not have proper winter attire nor equipment. Thus he began to send parts of his army back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang while he took the rest to Nanjing hoping to launch an attack later to dislodge the Yuhaitai force. Zeng Guofan did not give up trying to get his brother to abandon Yuhaitai, insisting that the preservation of his army was more important than maintaining the position. Yet Guoquan kept refusing to budge. Well as Guofan kept worrying about his brother Guoquan, something indeed would occur, but to his other brother Guobao. The younger brother had taken 5000 men to help support Guoquan at Yuhaitai. He had sworn vengeance upon the Taiping whom killed his brother Zeng Guohua in 1858. Zeng Guoquan sent a letter to Zeng Guofan that their brother had fallen gravely ill, he had typhoid. On the morning of january 11th, Zeng Guofan got another letter stating Guohua had died. Back in the Shanghai front the rambunctious Ward had taken a bullet to his stomach on September 21st and died an apparently very agonizing and slow death the same night of 1862 while in Ningbo. Ward had been campaigning in conjunction with Li Hongzhang's troops taking advantage of Li Xiucheng's massive pull out of the region. In Ward's dying breath he apparently demanded money and declared Wu Xu and Yang Fang, the two juggernaut financial backers in Shanghai owed him 140,000 taels in back pay. He threatened that his family back home would press upon them to make good on their debts. Things began to crumble for the EVA forces after Ward's death, Li Hongzhang began to advise who should take up the mantle of command. One notable prospect was the North Carolinian Henry Burgevine, whom was favored by Admiral Hope and Frederick Bruce. Both Brits of course were keen to have the EVA commander be an American since it certainly took the limelight off their nation. Burgevine was said to be a model southerner type, gallant, charming, but he also loved his alcohol and had a terrible temper. During the fall of 1862, Burgevine led the EVA to drive the Taiping out of a few towns on the outskirts of Shanghai and by winter the 30 mile radius was met. Burgevine was butting heads however with undue payments from Yang Fang, several months worth. When Li Hongzhang ordered him to take the EVA forces to Nanjing to help Zeng Guoquan, Burgevine refused. It was obvious as to why, being closer to Nanjing greatly risked his and the EVA forces lives and there would be less chance of plundering. Yang Fang then refused to make good on his debts to the EVA force unless they complied with going to Nanjing and apparently Burgevine blew a gasket. On January the 4th of 1863, Burgevine showed up to Yang Fang's house with a few bodyguards and punched the man in the face, robbing him of 40,000 silver dollars before fleeing to Songjiang to pay his men. This led Li Hongzhang to place a bounty over the man's head of 50,000 taels. Well needless to say Burgevine disappeared rather quickly, leaving Frederick Bruce to need to find a new commander. This time Bruce wanted to avoid finding any more filibuster, cowboy types and to find someone more professional, more honorable, who would be more accountable. Thus obviously no Americans were going to fit that role, haha, and Bruce reluctantly had to look towards his fellow Brits. Bruce eventually found, a rather famous name today, but back then he was a young British officer in the Royal Engineers named Charles Gordon. You may have heard his more famous title as “Chinese Gordon”, he was very much akin to Lawrence of Arabia, similar stories. Gordon was painfully british looking, with an awesome mustache might I add in his defense. Fun fact one of his grandfathers owned a ship that was ransacked during the Boston Tea Party, go USA. One of my sources state he was quote “religiously asexual, never married, and had as early as age fourteen expressed a wish that he were a enuch. He also happened to speak with a pronounced lisp”. There were several allegations to suggest he was gay, seemingly based on the fact he did a lot of charitable work for male youth and that he had a fondness for handsome young men. Honestly if you look him up you will find a wide array of bizarre theories, some suggesting he was a homosexual who was so repressed by his Christian faith that he channeled his frustration into being the perfect soldier. One British historian, Paul Mersh suggested he was not a homosexual, but had Asperger syndrome and this made it extremely difficult for him to express emotions towards women. I have to say that is a wild theory, but I personally don't know enough about the man, nor am I in any way his biographer to say much about this fascination on his sexuality. I will say one thing though as a general rule, when you find older historians, those writing lets say up to the mid 20th century, making excuses as to why some figure was not gay, key words “oh he was just very good friends with so and so”, usually its because the figure was gay, haha. Sigh we have come a long way in the world and there is a lot to be said about prejudices of the past and some that still linger, but anyways. Gordon inherited a very demoralized force in march of 1863. There were 3000 Chinese soldiers left after many desertions, alongside 30 pieces of artillery and 2 paddle steamers. Gordon unlike his 2 predecessors, was very willing to work closely with Li Hongzhang. He took a leave of absence from the Royal Engineers so he could serve under the Qing, therefore allowing him to campaign outside the 30 mile radius of Shanghai. After a brief period of training he began his campaign by joining the Qing commander Cheng Xueqi to march into Jiangsu province and reclaim lost territory to the Taiping. Gordon's smaller force became the spearhead driving up the waterways to take walled cities by surprise by bashing them with artillery, while Cheng Xueqi's larger army came in to swarm everywhere they struck. By the summer of 1863, their combined forces were approaching Suzhou. All was going great for Li Hongzhang and Charles Gordon, but then came a familiar face to disrupt things, Burgevine. Burgevine showed up to Beijing backed up by the US minister Anson Burlingame, trying to claim back his role as the commander of the EVA forces. Burlingame was able to lobby on his behalf and got Prince Gong to agree to the matter, but Li Hongzhang wanted nothing to do with the ill tempered man who punched Yang Fang in the face. Burgevine showed up to Shanghai with an imperial commissioner instructing Li Hongzhang to put him back in charge, but it is alleged by Li Hongzhang that the letter Prince Gong had sent was more of a suggestion rather than direct order. Regardless, Li Hongzhang was not going to play ball and to get away with not having to take back Burgevine Li Hongzhang simply left on campaign with Gordon to attack Suzhou without taking Burgevine. Well the ill tempered Burgevine got riled up again and quickly made his way into Shanghai where he rallied up 70 foreign mercenaries, many of whom had served Ward but were discharged. He took all these men and stole one of the EVA steamers and they made their way up the waterway to Suzhou to join the Taiping. Burgevine began training the Taiping in Suzhou how to defeat Gordon's forces and when the battle commenced it seemed the rebels had the upper hand. Burgevine at one point went out at night over to Gordons camp to try and get the man to quit his position, something Gordon allegedly considered because he was having a rough time with the logistics of the EVA force. Regardless while Burgevine looked like he might turn the tides for the Taiping, another event occurred that would give the Qing a distinct edge, Captain Osborn showed up on September 1st to take command of the war fleet. Now what is interesting about the situation was that Prince Gong envisioned using the new naval forces to hit the Taiping along the rivers and then be employed as a patrol force for the eastern coast. But someone else had different ideas about the use of these naval units, Zeng Guofan. Prince Gong had planned to use multiethnic crews, sailors from Shandong, gunners from Hunan and Manchu for marines. Well Zeng Guofan thought the new naval forces would be better employed as an addition to his own naval forces. He began to advise against mixing ethnic groups, because it might cause disunity. He advised instead that all crews should be Hunanese, hmmmm. Thus the squadron of steam powered gunships would be absorbed into his fleet of Long Dragons, Fast Crabs and sampans. With such a fleet Zeng Guofan would control the entire Yangtze River system. And here emerges the balance of power swinging within the Qing Dynasty. This general with a large amount of autonomy was quasi dictating against the Qing central government. When Captain Osborn arrived he found an official letter from Prince Gong informing him that a Hunanese Admiral would be serving as the new fleets commander in chief, Osborn had just been demoted to assistant commander. Furthermore the letter stated the fleet would take orders from Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. Osborn went to Beijing to protest these changes, but Prince Gong refused to budge on the matter. In fact rumors began to spread that Prince Gong had no choice in the matter, because Zeng Guofan quote “threatened to shut off all the supplies to the Imperial Government”. Osborn was furious “I came here to serve the Emperor, and under him the Regent, not to be the servant of mere provincial authorities.” Osborn resigned, while refusing to surrender control of the fleet to Prince Gong. Then came a real tense situation for Anson Burlingame, because the Confederates had envoys in China who sought to purchase the fleet for themselves so they could use it to fight the Union. Anson Burlingame lobbied hard to make sure this did not occur and in the end the fleet was sold at a loss back to India and then to Britain. Meanwhile while Gordon was facing the decision to step down at the behest of Burgevine, he decided instead to counter by convincing Burgevine to defect back to the Qing side. Burgevines frequent visits to Gordon were drawing suspicion from his Taiping comrades and his drunken ill tempered behavior did not help his cause too much. Apparently Burgevine really pissed off one Taiping commander, who had sent funds to purchase western guns and ammunition through Burgevines contacts only to find cargo of Brandy showing up. Not only was Burgevine getting on the Taiping's nerves, he also drew ire from his western comrades. On on occasion a western officer brought up Burgevines drinking problem only to have Burgevine fire a shot through the mans cheeks. Thus on October 15th, in the midst of an assault upon Suzhou by Gordons men, several of Burgevines officers defected, forcing Burgevine to do the same. Burgevine was exiled from China, as per the terms of his amnesty, but would show back up later on trying to raise another militia. No one knows for sure how, but Burgevine was captured by Qing soldiers and somehow ended up drowning in a river tied in chains. Local authorities said he had some sort of accident aboard a boat that capsized, but we all know that is not true. With Burgevine gone, a major obstacle had been overcome for the campaign against Suzhou. Despite this, the battle for Suzhou remained a stalemate by November. The Taiping commander of Suzhou was Tan Shaoguang, he also held the title of “Wang Mu, Esteemed King”, the son in law of Li Xiucheng. He wanted to defend Suzhou to the bitter end, but it turns out many of his subordinate commanders did not feel the same way. On November 28th, one of his subordinates secretly met with Chen Xueqi, promising to give up Suzhou peacefully while getting rid of Tan Shaoguang and his loyal officers. The man's name was Gao Yongkuan whom held the title of “receiving king” though by this point every commander was being given these titles. He offered to open the gates of Suzhou, but was very fearful of being caught by Tan Shaoguang. Gordon and Chen Xueqi agreed with Gao to take the city with minimal bloodshed. On the morning of December 4th, Tan Shaoguang held a banquet and during a speech he was stabbed by Gao Yongkuans group of mutineers and had his head cut off and sent to Cheng Xueqi. The gates of Suzhou were opened and Gordon with his EVA forces were the first to enter the city peacefully. Gordon spoke with the mutineer commanders and they all shaved their heads ready to surrender, grateful that Gordon kept his word to not slaughter them. Li Hongzhang showed up by boat to take control over the city with his personal guard and this is where things turned dark. Musket fire could be heard, and Gordon went to investigate finding Cheng Xueqi outside the walls of Suzhou looking very uneasy. Gordon asked him what was going on and Cheng replied that the Taiping commanders never showed up to surrender. Gordon rode back into the city to see what was going on, finding Qing forces looting the city. Gordon suspected this was the work of Cheng Xueqi who must be deceiving him, so he hunted down Li Hongzhang for answers. Yet he could not find Li Hongzhang, nor the Taiping commanders, he went back to Cheng Xueqi who simply told him he had no idea what was going on. Now the sources are mirky on this one. One thing to take note is that Cheng Xueqi was a Taiping defector himself, thus it gives some plausibility for his side of the story. Cheng Xueqi was said to be seen weeping on the ground as he sent a western officer to send a message to Gordon. The message was an apology, stating he did what he did because he had to follow Li Hongzhangs orders. Gordon eventually found the remains of the Taiping commanders, he had this to say of the scene. “The hands and bodies were gashed in a frightful way and cut down the middle, the receiving king's body was partially buried.” Gordon was livid, he had promised these men their safety and Li Hongzhang brutally executed them. To this breach of his honor, Gordon renounced his service under Li Hongzhang and this spread to the foreing community like wildfire. This spelled the end of military cooperation between Britain and the Qing dynasty. The British parliament fell back upon the policy of neutrality, but allowed for the defense of Shanghai. Ironically, by the time Britain had finally reached its decision to go back to neutrality, their assistance was basically no longer needed. The situation in the interior of China was becoming quite horrid. Zeng Guofan wrote in his diary on June 8th “Everywhere in southern Anhui they are eating people”. It was not the first note of cannibalism from his diary entries and not to be the last. He carried on to write it was not new news that human flesh was being eaten, but the price for said flesh had gone up considerably. The price per ounce had gone up four times that which it was sold at the year prior. Cannibalism was found in Jiangsu province as well. Northern Anhui was a wasteland reported Bao Chao who was desperately trying to scout for a supply line for the drive upon Nanjing. Yet as absolutely horrifying as the situation was in central china, it did benefit the Qing, because the Taiping depended on the peasants amongst them, and the famine was creating internal conflict. As Zeng Guofan put it in his diary about the situation of the Taiping around Nanjing. “Campaigning in a region with no people, the rebels will be like fish out of water. In a countryside devoid of cultivation, they will be like birds on a mountain with no trees.” On June 13th, Zeng Guoquan finally seized the stone fort atop Yuhuatai. Having control of it meant Zeng Guoquan was able to shut Nanjing's southern gate. The west and northern gates of Nanjing open onto the Yangtze River and their defense laid in these large Taiping forts across the mile wide Yangtze corridor to the city. On June 30th, the Xiang navy attacked these forts in a intense bombardment battle. The Taiping fort shore batteries fired back upon the Xiang, causing 2000 casualties, but in the end the Xiang forces were able to take the forts, slaughtering their defenders. Having taken the forts, the Xiang forces now controlled the Yangtze River northwest of Nanjing. Before the Yangtze River way was closed, Li Xiucheng had left in February of 1863, 3 months after failing to defeat Zeng Guoquan. He took his force into northern Anhui, searching for a supply line for Nanjing. Much like Bao Chao, he found a wasteland and his troops suffered immensely. They were starving, forced to eat grass while facing the Xiang forces who were better provisioned. When word spread that Zeng Guoquan took the fort atop Yuhaitai, Li Xuicheng immediately headed back to Nanjing, managing to cross the river just 10 days before the northern Taiping forts fell. He estimated the campaign into northern Anhui cost him 100,000 men. Yet as soon as he returned to the capital he had to leave yet again because Li Hongzhang was attacking Suzhou and Zuo Zongtang was attacking Hangzhou. Nanjing's western gate was shut because of Xiang dominance along the Yangtze and its southern gate was shut because of Zeng Guoquans dominance over Yuhaitai. With this in mind Zeng Guofan turned his attention to the remaining easternand northern gates. He sent Bao Chao to lay siege to the Shence Gate, the primary northern inland gate. But Bao Chao faced a terrible epidemic. Simultaneously there were troubles breaking out in southern Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, so he sent Bao Chao to quell them. Meanwhile Zeng Guoquans forces expanded their position at Yuhaitai, seizing 10 bridges and mountain passes allowing them to control the supply roads southeast of Nanjing. By November Zeng Guoquans focus were blocking the eastern approach to the city. The eastern gate to Nanjing was still open and 2 large forts defended atop a mountain that edged towards the city. The mountain was known as the Dragon's shoulder and its fort was the Fortress of Heaven, to its bottom was the Fortress of Earth. By December the eartern gate and the Shence gate were the only points of entry still under Taiping control, out of Nanjing's 23 mile circumference.

Zeng Guoquans gambit payed off brilliantly and now the great city of Nanjing was finally under siege, it was only a matter of time for the end.

Our long-awaited deep-dive deconstruction of Adam-God Doctrine, or theory, depending on who you ask. What is it? Who taught it? Why is it controversial? How is it treated by the corporate Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today? ‘As we are, god once was, as god is we may someday become' is a tried-and-true Mormon doctrine and the Adam-Eve-Gods Doctrine fits perfectly within this logical loop. As the title of the doctrine alludes to, Heavenly Father took the form of Adam with one of his wives, Heavenly Mother Eve, to create and populate the earth, after which he went to Adam-ondi-Ahman, in Missouri, where he ascended back to godhood to continue his charge from Elohim to create worlds without end. Then we dive into the nearly-final segment of Bruce R. McConkie's Millennial Messiah. McCranky loves the idea of fire burning the sinners and his charged language justifies the physical suffering and burning of anybody who isn't Mormon or living its dictates. Further, when Jesus returns to reign in the millennium he will rule with an iron rod; the future dystopian Mormon theocracy is a dangerous and unforgiving land. How all these teachings pervade Mormon culture to this day can be seen by Mormons periodically carrying out the will of gods by causing the suffering and death of sinners and those who oppose the kingdom of God. Mormonism creates dangerous men, yet the church never suffers the repurcussions. We round out the episode with some happy news about cannabis legislation heading to President Biden's desk.

Napoleon Bonaparte is, almost always, in the “Mt. Rushmore” greatest military commanders of all time conversation, and rightfully so. That being said, he wasn't without a great many flaws, and long before Waterloo, Napoleon suffered his fair share of defeats. Marengo doesn't fall into the loss column for Bonaparte, but it came pretty damn close. A poor French tactical choice, a drastic French inferiority in artillery, and a ferocious Austrian assault all led to Marengo being a "close run thing" for the First Consul. But as the First Consul said “The fate of a battle is a single moment…the decisive moment arrives, the moral spark is kindled and the smallest reserve force settles the issue.”
