boyhollow

boyhollow is an old goth that plays music for hipsters, indie-rockers, bass-heads, gays, party kids, trannies, meat-heads, woo girls and even the occasional hippie. He doesn’t believe in writing bios containing a bunch of cliches about what an awesome DJ he is. He’d rather be making you dance. He is the founder of Lipgloss (est. 2001), Denver’s longest running and most awarded club-night. Lipgloss pulls in over 500 people a week and consistently runs at capacity. Lipgloss was instrumental in – if not arguably responsible for – creating Denver’s indie dance scene. He is also resident DJ at Scumbag Sundays at Shag Lounge and founder and resident DJ of both Girls and Boys Denver and Porn and Chicken Denver. He has worked with, performed at and produced parties with some of music’s biggest names: Passion Pit, The XX, Girl Talk, Miami Horror, The Juan Maclean, Miike Snow, Yeasayer, !!!, MSTRKRFT, Autoerotique, Figure, Mars Volta, Simian Mobile Disco, Steve Aoki, Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, Calvertron, Le Castle Vania, Treasure Fingers, VHS or Beta, Le Tigre, Felix Cartal, Fake Blood, Blondie, Interpol, Phoenix, Boys Noize, Crookers, LCD Soundsystem, Guns'n'Bombs, Mustard Pimp, Junkie XL, LA Riots, The Faint, K.I.M.

Currently involved in some exciting production and remixing work with artists like The Chaotic Good and Paul Anthony, keep your eyes and ears peeled for the new movement in Denver’s dance scene. It’s going to be a coup d'état of massive proportion.

DJ LargeChild

DJ Tower

DJ Tower has been DJing in Denver since 1993. He started by playing music at friend's parties and event with his own home stereo, cd players and a pawn shop special mixing board. Now he has been DJing for 15 years which has allowed him the experience to develop a sound and mix with his own unique style and technical skills. In the early days, Tower developed his style by playing in many small venues such as Flavors, The Snake Pit, Tonic, 7 South (now Hi-Dive), and anyone who would have him. He also became involved with the world of band and event promotions with FastForward productions and putting on large Fetish/goth events. During this time he began to gain the attention of some of the established DJs in town. They in-turn, gave him the opportunity to spin his style of music to larger audiences. Soon, he began DJing at some of the bigger clubs in Denver. Since this time, he has played to audiences at the Church, Deadbeat Club, Vinyl, Rock Island, Club Onyx and many other clubs and events. Tower's musical tastes vary widely and spans many many genres. He has done nights in genres such as industrial, alternative, synthpop, futurepop, nuwave, gothic, 80s, nu school breaks, psytrance, indie, brit-pop and other types of music. While DJing, industrial and alternative he became aware of the bands Felix da Housecat and Ladytron. Through these bands he discovered the exciting and trashy world of electro/electroclash/dancepunk/electrohouse music scene. It is one of the most exciting musical changes in alternative dance music in a very long time. If you want to hear the freshest electro sounds, Tower will not disappoint.

Smart Horizons Career Online Education Reports Rising Numbers for Florida Department of Corrections Online High School Campuses


Pensacola, FL (PRWEB) May 10, 2013

In February of 2012, the Florida Department of Corrections named Smart Horizons Career Online Education (SHCOE) as an official provider of online education for inmates in Florida prison facilities. The Florida Department of Corrections Online Campus program went live at the Madison Correctional Institution in April of 2012 and at Ocalas Lowell Annex Correctional Institution in May of 2012. Enthusiasm on the part of inmates and staff members alike has been evident from the start of the program.

Since May 2012, a total of 59 inmates at the Madison and Lowell facilities have received their high school diplomas through the Internet-based program offered by SHCOE, the worlds first AdvancED/SACS accredited online school district. In addition to earning their diplomas, FLDOC Online Campus students also complete coursework for a credentialed career certificate in one of several high-demand employment areas.

Madison Correctional Institutions Warden, J.T. Freeman, and Assistant Warden, Connice West, who have 63 years of combined experience directing institutions in Floridas correctional system, have nothing but praise for SHCOE.

The FLDOC Online High School Campus not only allows inmates to pick up where they left off with their education, it also provides them with the additional skills theyre going to need when they re-enter societyskills a lot of people struggle with, Warden Freeman said. There have always been fears and concerns about having computers in a prison setting, but SHCOE has the technology to address security issues. If you consider whats happening in terms of the use of technology in society at large, its important that inmates be computer literate in order to get jobs upon their release.

This program has had the highest level of success for us here at Madison, Assistant Warden West said. This concept of Internet-based delivery has really taken off and I see it as the wave of the future. It has wide social possibilities. We anticipate having over a hundred graduates from this program by the end of the current fiscal year. The inmates Ive talked to about the program tell me its much better than sitting in a classroom. Theyre able to complete their high school diplomas and career certificates in a very reasonable length of time.

Warden Freeman agreed with Assistant Warden West about the way SHCOE has brought cutting-edge elements to education at Madison Correctional Institution. Both noted that the FLDOC Online High School Campus prepares inmates for reentry into society at least as well as more traditional instructor-led approaches.

Working on computers is a good way to get inmates acclimated to the outside world. Theyre working at their own pace and learning so much more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic.

According to Warden Freeman and Assistant Warden West, utilizing SHCOEs Internet-based system also addresses issues pertaining to available resources.

Part of the beauty of this program is that, at a time when we dont have the resources and manpower to do whats been done in the past, we are getting better results than ever, Warden Freeman said. The FLDOC Online High School Campus program is self-directed and can be done almost anywhere. I foresee the day when this program can be carried out in our housing facilities instead of only in learning labs. Instead of watching TV at night, the inmates can work on their courses.

If were looking to prepare these offenders for success upon release, we need to provide them with skills and habits that translate to the outside world, Assistant Warden West said. SHCOE is doing this for us and we only see the success of this program increasing from here.

Patterson Hood

Musician and songwriter Patterson Hood is the front-man of the band Drive-By Truckers as well as being a solo artist. We are thrilled to welcome him here in Annapolis in support of his 2012 release with his side project, The Downtown Rumblers. The story behind The Downtown Rumblers: "Back in January, worn out from having spent a year on tour and facing a new album's release and another year spent mostly on a bus, away from the comforts of home and family, I decided to try to write a book. I had made a couple of stabs in that direction before (as well as a couple of screenplays) but had so far failed to complete one. The thing is, I love to write on the road. I write most every day out there. It's usually not songs, as completing a song amid all of the noise, distractions and music blasting on the bus is very difficult (I do often start songs there that get finished later) but writing non-musical compositions comes pretty easy for me out here and it sure passes the time. Beside, I had an idea for a story I wanted to write and it started coming very easily. By our third month on the road I already had a pretty firm outline of what I wanted and several chapters that I felt really good about. I was calling my book "Slam Dancing in the Pews", named after a cassette that Virgil Kane had recorded in 1992 when Cooley and I were playing shows under that name after the break up of Adam's House Cat. The book was basically half-assed fictionalization of that very turbulent period of my life. I was 27, my band broke up, I got divorced and left my hometown to live in Memphis. My car got stolen, our band's truck got stripped and I fell in love. I fell out with my family (who I was very, very close to) and had my heart broken. I seriously pondered killing myself several times but instead wrote literally over 500 songs in a three-year period. A time when I reinvented myself artistically and experienced a sort of rebirth that led to a lot of the things I have done in the last two decades. My book would sort of tell that story, but interspersed with lyrics from that period of my life, as well as new song lyrics either set in that time or from the point of view of various characters from the book. The structure would be chapter / song / chapter / song and so on. If the book was coming fast, the songs were coming even easier. Then the booked stopped coming. Someday I may want to tell that story, but timing is everything and this just isn't the time for it. The songs, however continued to pour out, taking a few left turns and then morphing into its own thing. Most of this album comes from that short period of time between February and June of 2011. The songs begin in the period that the book was set in, but don't end there, as they really just were the impetus for writing about the life I am living now and contrasting it with the troubled times of two decades ago. I called it Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance and decided that spring to record it as a solo album. I could clearly hear in my head exactly how I wanted every song to sound and made a list of who I wanted to play on each one. It is in some ways the most personal album I've ever made. There has always been a lot of me in all of the albums we've done, but usually semi-disguised as character sketches and stories, but the first person narrative in this one is pretty firmly rooted in autobiography, albeit in two dramatically differing time periods. A Festival of Teeth – The making of Heat Lightning: I have GarageBand on my computer so I decided to record a rough sketch of the album in my office, off from our kitchen at our house. The new songs nearly sequenced themselves into a near narrative and I started passing out my GarageBand demos to various friends and relations and received near unanimous positive feedback from it. David Hood is a session bass player who played on tons of those great Muscle Shoals soul classics back in the day. He played bass on The Staple Singers' classic "I'll Take You There" as well as hits by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Bobby Womack, Bob Seger, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson and Etta James. He is also my Dad and he came over to record with me last fall and absolutely outdid himself. His playing on the title cut is just stunning and we had an amazing time working together. David Barbe, who has partnered with me on almost everything I've done for about a decade now, co-produced and played bass on the rest of the album. Kelly Hogan has long been one of my favorite people and I knew I wanted her to sing on my album. She has just recently recorded an album of her own and she and I had attempted to co-write a song for it. She sent me a set of lyrics to an unfinished song she was working on about our friend Vic Chesnutt. I loved her lyrics and set about re-writing it and turning it into a song called "Come Back Little Star" which I then sent back to her to complete, but alas she didn't get it finished in time to make her album and upon deciding to do my album, asked her if I could finish it for my album and she agreed. She came down to Georgia and sang on it and on "After The Damage" which I also wrote with her voice in mind. Upon singing her takes she could see through the glass into the control room what she described as "A Festival of Teeth." As always, Brad Morgan played drums and just keeps getting better and better all of the time. As a lot of the songs were piano based (and since I'm just not a very good piano player) I was fortunate to have Jay Gonzalez playing Andy Baker's grand piano (on indefinite loan to Chase Park Transduction) as well as Wurlitzer, accordion and Mellotron. John Neff came by to play some spot-on pedal steel and we even got Cooley in to play banjo on a couple of tracks. My love for the Denton, Texas band Centro-matic is well known and once again I was fortunate to have Will Johnson and Scott Danbom in for a few days each to play with me. Will came in October, played some guitar and did some stunning singing. Scott came by in August and played upright piano on "Leaving Time", then came back in early December and played the fiddle. I had always heard cello on some of these songs and for the first time got to play with Jacob Morris (Madeline, Moths and Old Smokey). In the end, I think we made the most intimate and personal record of my career and I'm extremely proud of how it all turned out. I have put together a really good band, The Downtown Rumblers, to go out tour behind it and I'm really looking forward to taking this show on the road." -Patterson Hood
