7/25/2023 0 Comments Gaslight anthem lyrics 59 soundThe ’59 Sound got a lot of hype in 2008, but my first listens told me it was something dated and backwards-looking: songs stuck in the past that didn’t have relevance to my present. A part of the reason is probably my initial indifference to the album. Where other records I loved back then have drifted more into the background, The ’59 Sound is a record I’ve played regularly-probably once every couple weeks, at least-for the better part of the past decade. It’s a record that has grown with me over time, one that has meant a dozen different things to me from one year to the next. It’s the rare “favorite record” in my life that isn’t tied to any one specific moment or season or year. Those albums could never be life soundtracks to me today, because they already played that role at such vivid and crucial junctures of my life. My other 2008 classics-records like Butch Walker’s Sycamore Meadows and Jack’s Mannequin’s The Glass Passenger-are albums I revisit only every month or two, not because I don’t love them, but because they hold so many pieces of my past self within their songs. ![]() Most of my favorite albums fit into this category. It’s a beautiful thing when that happens, but it also tends to mean your favorite LPs eventually fall out of regular rotation, as you reach for new music to play that role for new moments and memories. You play those records so much when they’re new to you that they become a collage of moments and memories from your life. One of the undeniable truths of being a consummate life soundtracker is that most of your favorite albums end up being inextricably linked to certain periods of time. ![]() I'd imagine just as many people will hate them as love them, but it's the kind of album that if it grips, you'll be unable to listen much else and it'll be knocking around your head all day.Over the course of the past 10 years, few albums from the 2000s have stuck with me quite like The ’59 Sound. You can stream the entire album on their Myspace, there's a slight dip 3/4 through for me, but otherwise it's eerily accomplished and consistent throughout (although don't expect too many stylistic changes) They're on tour in the UK early next year too with probably their last tour of sub-1000 venues. To my ears they're the best openers of any album I've heard all year: Give the opening three tracks of the album a go, if you don't like these you won't have any time for the album. It's quite a strange listen for me as there's nothing new about it at all, no attempt to push music forward at all, but the songs just work - nothing feels out of place or missing every backing vocal is perfectly placed, every chorus is designed to make your chest swell and fist pump. The lyrics are all unashamedly nostalgic and earnest - celebrating America's golden-era, youth and all that good stuff - but there's something about it which all just fits together despite the cliches. ![]() Modern punk fans will probably hear other influences, as they're big on the Vans circuit apparently, but seem of a bluesier, more classic lineage than the NOFX thrashisms I associate with that scene (which I admittedly know fuck all about). Think a punkified version of the Boss with his imagery and growl, The Hold Steady's blue-collar singalongs, The Killers if they were as half as good as they are in their heads I hear a bit of The Cure, Pleased to Meet me-era Replacements and even Okkervil River (in the slower numbers) in their songs. I read a review the other day which pointed out that it's probably easier to say who they sound like than what they sound like which is strangely accurate. ![]() Apologies if The Gaslight Anthem have been hyped to death, but I only first heard of them last week after their album from earlier in the year, The '59 Sound, hit the top spot in Emusic's Best of 2008 and it's had me hooked pretty much since. 7/25/2023 0 Comments St rita church in wellington fl![]() They thought it was perhaps too costly to form their own government. Why do you think it was controversial to incorporate Wellington at that time.ĪP: A lot of people thought it was good enough to leave Wellington underneath the umbrella of WPB. We wanted it to be a place that was “well-heeled and well-grounded and well-grassed”.ĪW: In November of 1996, Wellington was finally incorporated by a very narrow vote. In 2005, I opened Palm Beach Contract Furniture.īack to the story of Wellington, it was incorporated in 1996. During this time, I became a furniture expert, getting to know all the different brands and styles. I was in charge of buying furniture for each new school. We had a 10-year window to put up about 30 new schools. He realized that I could be the point person for furniture. Meanwhile, I had a softball friend Jim Lowers, who had a construction contract with the school district. In one match in 1986, the score was 10 – 10 in double overtime. Ylvisaker brought up all the polo players from South America. I trained for the polo matches and would work on Sundays for $30 for the day. Since they were asking for help, I signed up to be a field judge for polo. Ylvisaker buys land and builds 11 polo fields. Then Bill Ylvisaker, chairman of Gould Corporation, comes along. There were 5 Acme Improvement supervisors who kept an eye on different territories. ![]() But since it was all swamp land, they needed to form a drainage system. ![]() They immediately wanted to buy a chunk of land. The Wellingtons, a father and son team, loved it. And they found the perfect guide to show them the Everglades, Bink Glisson. They needed to hire an airboat to explore the Everglades. They eventually got interested in the Everglades. Wellington Elementary School was the first school built, complete with a band and cheerleaders.ĪW: Who founded the Village of Wellington? How did it come about?ĪP: The Wellingtons from England would come to the Breakers on a regular basis. Meanwhile, the schools still had to be built. We were Catholic, but there was no Catholic church in Wellington yet. (Michael, our 3 rd child, was born in Florida). We were able to get a great 3/2 home, built by William Moore, for $56,500. I loved polo! When I drove up to visit Wellington, there were just 200 homes. I found out that a man named Bill Ylvisaker was building 11 polo fields in Wellington. They were building a town in Wellington and digging a lake. But I found that I couldn’t afford a Boca home. I met the Mayor of Boca Raton and met other Boca representatives, as well as my future boss. After a few years, I found out that the City of Boca Raton looking for an Assistant Purchasing Director. We originally started in Orlando and I worked on submarines. I was married to Rosemary and we had two children at that time. AP: We moved down here from Connecticut in the 70’s. 7/25/2023 0 Comments Stick shiftIf you push down on the gas pedal too quickly, you’ll rev the engine, and if you take your foot off the clutch too quickly, you’ll stall. It’s all about the timing and “balancing” the clutch. This is the step that needs the most practice. Once you do it successfully, you’re in first gear and you’re driving. What you want to do is take your (right) foot off the brake, and gently press down on the accelerator (gas pedal), as you’re gently taking your (left) foot off the clutch. If you’ve tried to drive a stick before, this is probably where you had the most trouble. Push the clutch in (left foot, remember).Here are the steps to take, and more importantly, the order to do them in: Whenever the car is stopped, you should be in first gear, and the parking brake should be on. That will make things a whole lot easier. Take some time to figure out exactly where everything is on the car you’ll be driving. It zigzags from there, depending on how many gears you have – top center is third, bottom center is fourth, top right is fifth, and reverse is usually to the right, and down. Generally, first gear is on the top left, and second gear is bottom left. There’s an old saying that goes: “Every car is different, but most cars are the same.” This holds true when talking about gear shifting. Pushing it all the way down allows you to move the shifter and change gears. The other pedals – brake and gas – operate just like they do in an automatic transmission.Īssuming you already know what the gas and brake pedals do, let’s focus on the clutch. ![]() The clutch is the only pedal you press with your left foot. From left to right, they are: Clutch, Brake, Gas. In a manual transmission there are three pedals. Your drivers education course will cover 99% of what you need to know, and this article should take care of the rest. So, you’re learning how to drive, and you’ve selected a manual transmission, or “stick shift” as your vehicle. ![]() But you’ll soon learn the secret! Driving Stick in 7 Easy Steps At first, driving a stick shift can be intimidating. |
