With a focus on vinyl releases, for the collectors, Spandau20 has lately also focused on its label nights, with showcases at Fabric, Bassiani and many others. The label's 10th release features 10 tracks that epitomise the musical diversity of Spandau20 and the progressive musical mindset of its roster, calling on the label favourites and Spandau natives to deliver brand new and exciting music. This special release even features one track that all artists have worked on together: ‘Come Closer', a swarming, slithering beginning featured as the VA's opener. Its barely coherent female vocal echoing amidst a cacophony of demon-like effects. The chilling ambience captured at the offset transcends into the first full length track by Elli Acula, ‘Floating Eyes', a cur characterised by an authoritative, pounding bass featuring calculated percussive rolls and metallic overtones to make for a face-scrunching opener to this devilish collection of works. FJAAK follow for the first of twin cameo appearances, partnering up with fellow live supremo and hardware aficionado KiNK. On ‘Overbridge' the trio deliver a cavernous, rolling number driven by a deep thrumming bass in addition to a razor-edged lead synth, and pulsating technopattern. Dajusch is known for incorporating his years of classical study in with his immersive musical style – and with his VA effort the Berlin native neatly showcases this. Easing the energy slightly, ‘Move' escalates from its warm, melodic intro into rumbling goliath of a beat comprising a looping, slew of gassy harmonics. The momentum of the release shifts considerably with the introduction of acutely versatile producer, DJ and sound artist Claus. The artist from Spandau leans his track ‘Bloomscroll' towards sparse, dubby sonics in which he intricately ties together to form churning, burgeoning soundscape. FJAAK jolt proceedings back into the techno groove with their signature blend of arresting sub-bass and reverberating rhythms, which come thick, fast and heavy on ‘Jackfruit'. The abstract wonder of Anna Z's broken-beat like stylings is fully explored on ‘Icy Liq'. It's outlandish and amorphous in its execution, causing a clattering percussive chaos that's choicely pieced together by the modular-extraordinaire. Nikk stealthy moves into breaks territory with his track ‘Down In The Shadows', packing a trap-like snare with an acid-flecked melody and dawn-breaking, dream-like textures. The penultimate track on the VA is ‘Tufted'. J.Manuel expertly employs a chorus of robot-like sonics that course through a short-circuiting low-end to produce a pacy, inescapable journey via a whirling, merciless beat. He is joined by the legendary producer Tobi Neumann for their menacingly ambient number titled ‘Fennec.' In parts a nod to UK dubstep, the duo concocts a fierce admixture of styles bolstering tribal-like components with industrialised overtones and methodically crafted drum-fills.

Early in April, I had just spied a fox squirrel eating pine seeds from a ground cache when I felt a shadow gliding overhead on silent wings. I looked up yet saw nothing. When I looked back, there was an indistinct gray form, an apparition, in the shadows where the squirrel had been. The apparition turned its head toward me and peered with two large golden eyes. Tufted horns now held erect confirmed it was a Great Horned Owl.

A note to my listeners about where these channeled sessions with the spirits of nature take place. Unlike a typical podcast, I am not channeling in a space that has been set up for recording audio - Rather I am channeling in my meditation loft or outside in a natural setting. To put it another way, these channeled sessions are recorded ‘on location' and for this reason the sound quality may not be at the level of one who sits in a studio-like environment and carries on what my guides refer to as a human-to-human discourse.
A Tufted Titmouse has just about everything you could ask for in a backyard bird. Petite and strikingly elegant, it’s as perky as a chickadee. In fact, it’s a cousin to the chickadee. And as it comes boldly to your seed or suet feeders, the Tufted Titmouse will even hang upside down like an acrobat

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.28.317248v1?rss=1 Authors: Chae, H., Banerjee, A., Albeanu, D. F. Abstract: Sensory systems rely on statistical regularities in the experienced inputs to either group disparate stimuli, or parse them into separate categories. While considerable progress has been made in understanding invariant object recognition in the visual system, how this is implemented by olfactory neural circuits remains an open question. The current leading model states that odor identity is primarily computed in the piriform cortex, drawing from mitral cell (MC) input. Surprisingly, the role of tufted cells (TC), the other principal cell-type of the olfactory bulb (OB) in decoding odor identity, and their dependence on cortical feedback, has been overlooked. Tufted cells preferentially project to the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) and olfactory striatum, while mitral cells strongly innervate the piriform cortex (PC). Here we show that classifiers based on the population activity of tufted cells successfully decode both odor identity and intensity across a large concentration range. In these computations, tufted cells substantially outperform mitral cells, and are largely unaffected by silencing of cortical feedback. Further, cortical feedback from AON controls preferentially the gain of tufted cell odor representations, while PC feedback specifically restructures mitral cell responses, matching biases in feedforward connectivity. Leveraging cell-type specific analyses, we identify a non-canonical feedforward pathway for odor recognition and discrimination mediated by the tufted cells, and propose that OB target areas, other than the piriform cortex, such as AON and olfactory striatum, are well-positioned to compute odor identity.

It's probably not surprising that our last interview, with an Arts Commission employee, recommended artists for our next interview. So this week we're talking to Loraine Lynn, a local artist from Toledo, Ohio interested in working with materials such as glass, fiber, video, writing, and installation, but is currently focusing on textiles in the form of tufted work. Hear all about it on this week's episode of The RDD.

Marion's Kodiak Organic Tomatos-Greenhouse grown "Grow organic food you want to eat." Marion Owen lives in Kodiak Alaska where she cares for her well-established organic garden. She grows foods she wants to eat. "The cool climate allows the kale to be sweeter. Green onions are huge!" "I live in Kodiak Alaska where there's the changing light and cooler climate. It's OK to put things in the compost pile. I learn from experience." "I grow food I want to eat but I also want to provide food for the late pollinators. I don't just garden for me but for other people, insects, birds. It's all inclusive." Marion saves bumble bees who get caught up in a deep freeze. Hear how she does it on the podcast. "Gardening is relaxing and reflective. I worked on a tug boat. I was getting tired of going out to sea. I had an internal conversation years ago. What do I want to do? Well two things came to my mind. Photography and gardening." "When I moved to Alaska and started my garden there was no dirt. Well I can't have dirt delivered so I had to make my own. The traditional way of composting would take too many years. I researched it. Hot composting was how I made dirt." "I add the green stuff and brown stuff and in a few days it heats up. I turned it and it would cool down, then heat up again. In a few weeks, not years, I had dirt!" "Sharing what I do is important. I've written for Alaska Magazine and I've also submitted photographs. I've been a keynote speaker at garden conferences and if I can garden in Kodiak then you can do it wherever you are in the world." "My garden is part of the earth. I think it's important to know where your food comes from because it's not all clean or healthy. Food security. Try supporting your local farmers' market and talk to the growers." "In Kodiak I used to write a gardening column in the Kodiak Daily Mirror. The articles are available online." " I also am an advocate of community outreach. I help others to grow their garden and I also do a Veggies at Work program. Anybody can do this. I approach a business and ask them to purchase materials to have a raised box or bed at their work site. I plant and harvest vegetables to take to the food bank. "There's more connections and more positive imprints with Veggies at Work program. Employees are responsible for the vegetables through watering and weeding. They get to leave their desk and enjoy being outside." Marion's Garden "I love photography. One of my favorite things is to not have an agenda for my photography. I want to be open to the gifts that are shown to me." "I have a bed and breakfast. Cliffhouse Bed and Breakfast. When I take patrons out on the boat for a photography class I want to help people bring home the memories and the best experience with photography. But also food. I use what is being produced in my garden for the Galley Gourmet Dinner Cruises." "When I am out walking I use all of my senses. The best writers say to use all of your senses. We forget about sound and smell and touch. Check in when you go for a walk. How do the trees or the grass feel?" "Puffins are a favorite bird of mine to watch and to also photograph. They are such interesting birds. They spend a good seven months or longer out at sea. They are more comfortable as a bird swimming in the water than flying. They have to beat their wings around 400 beats per minute or they fall to the earth." "Their beautiful beak colors are for the dating game. They lose their colorful sheath in late August. Kodiak has the Tufted puffin and the Horned puffin." "Humans think in terms of time but in nature there is no stopping or starting. It just continues to flow. We too are a continuous flow. We don't stop with living or dying." "I love to share. I'm not the grower or the photographer. I'm just the cheerleader. I can instill the realization into...

Rick Jones discusses the highly vocal tufted titmouse, a regular visitor to the area’s birdfeeders.
Jeremy and Michael review the Tufted Titmouse and discuss TurboTax-shaming guilt, ornithological songwriting, nostalgia peer-pressure, glacial humblebrags of glacial proportions, the $2 not-having-to-do-math-with-your-friends tax, the statical relationship of money and problems, and glass punting. Michael uses a bunch of jargon to ask absolutely nothing about taste and Jeremy has a clarifying moment that leads him to retract his criticism of the Vegetti.
