US Marines wounded at Kari San Mountain being evacuated by Siskorsky H-5 helicopter and flown to hospital .
While United Nations forces struggled to hold onto the Pusan perimeter in the late summer of 1950, the U.S. 1st Provisional Marine Brigade was rushed into action to reinforce U.S. Army and Republic of Korea (ROK) troops defending that precarious pocket in the southeast corner of South Korea. The undermanned 5th U.S. Marine Regiment and its support units had barely arrived at Pusan when they were moved in borrowed Army trucks to stop a North Korean assault near Chindong-ni, on the perimeter’s western edge. Brigade commander Brigadier General Edward A. Craig knew little about the terrain his Marines would have to cross, so he climbed into a Sikorsky HO3S-1 helicopter and lifted off to scout the route, give directions to the lead battalion, pick a spot for his command post and meet with his Army superiors. Returning from the meeting with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker, the Eighth Army commander, Craig stopped three more times to confer with his unit commanders. That crucial trip aboard a chopper from Marine Observation Squadron 6 (VMO-6) on August 3, 1950, was a harbinger of the increasingly vital role rotary wing aircraft would play in three years of tough fighting in Korea.
“Fortunately, Marine helicopters attached to VMO-6 were always available for observation, communication and control,” Craig recalled. “These aircraft made my day. Without them I do not believe we would have had the success we did.” The VMO-6 choppers soon were pressed into service to deliver water and other critically needed supplies to grunts struggling over hilly terrain. And they often carried out wounded Marines on return flights.
While the Marines were inaugurating the use of the underpowered Sikorsky helicopters in command-and-control, light resupply and medical evacuation roles, the Navy was flying those same choppers from aircraft carriers and a few large warships operating in the Sea of Japan. The Navy helos were used at first to pluck downed fliers from the sea and undertake short logistical missions between ships. But they quickly took on added duties such as gunfire spotting for the warships. Later in the conflict they became key elements in the prolonged effort to clear coastal waters of mines.

Artist Research - Craig Walsh
Tumblr media
Further to my interest in DeMarzo's approach and similar to Uranishi's reference to Brisbane aviators, Craig Walsh pays particular attention to the history of each site and the figures who would best represent it in his series Monuments. For example, Churaki HillI (2017) which paid homage to Churaki, an Indigenous man known for his water rescues across Tweed in the early 20th century. I think the history of Barrambin is something I really need to sink my teeth into ahead of Assessment 2- particularly as I was unable to attend the Week 5 workshop walk.

Sikkim, the gateway to India's northeastern corridor, boasts breathtaking natural beauty and offers a lovely list of activities and places to visit.
Sikkim is famous for Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world at 8598 meters. Sikkim is the second-smallest state in India, with 7,096 square kilometers and measuring 110 kilometers from north to south and 64 kilometers from east to west.
Without Darjeeling, a trip to the state of Sikkim is considered incomplete. Darjeeling is a beautiful hill station in the state of West Bengal. As it settles in the lower sections of the Himalayas, this delicate town is overlooked by the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.
The beautiful tea gardens depict the slopes of Darjeeling during a storm, luring visitors from far and distant. Oaks, birches, maples, chestnuts, and rhododendrons contribute to Darjeeling's remarkable beauty.
To enjoy the amazing beauty of Sikkim and Darjeeling contact the experts of Trinetra Tours to book the best Darjeeling and Sikkim Holiday Tour Packages.

You Gotta Lose? Hell, Some Of Us Ain’t Dead Yet by Mary Leary
Tumblr media
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0fz3FVBlOE
NRBQ has done so many amazing songs. I never thought much about “Roll Call,” from Tiddlywinks - for one thing, it has a lighter, almost Billy Joel sound that’s more about latter day Terry Adams style than what I think of as the classic Q. Yet just as Adams’ work has grown on me, this track has made its way into my consciousness. The lyrics speak to me more in 2020 than they did when Tiddlywinks was released in 1980, before the D.C.-area music scene had lost Robert Goldstein (Urban Verbs), Kevin MacDonald (brilliant visual artist and scene stalwart who helped me design and layout [The] Infiltrator), Danny Gatton disciple/guitar maverick Evan Johns, bassist Michael Maye from the original H-Bombs, Rick Dreyfuss (Half Japanese/Chumps/Shakemore), Libby Hatch and Michael Mariotte  (Tru Fax and the Insaniacs), Sally Be/Berg - REM/Egoslavia/SHE/Robert Palmer), Nurses member Marc Halpern (heroin, 1982), Lorenzo (Pee- Wee) Jones (Tiny Desk Unit) and hybrid rocker Jim Altman (HIV, 1990s).  Goldstein, Dreyfuss, Maye and MacDonald succumbed to cancer, while Evan Johns’ deterioration followed years of touring, hard drinking and pushing himself past the limit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Top to bottom: Tommy Keene, Kevin MacDonald, Susan Mumford)
Those named above have been joined by Tommy Keene (the Rage/the Razz/solo/Paul Westerberg/Matthew Sweet - cardiac arrest at the age of 59; 2017), TDU’s Susan Mumford (cancer, 2018), David Byers (Psychotics/H.R./Bad Brains), and Skip Groff (Yesterday and Today/ Limp Records/Dischord - seizure, 2019).  This is just an imperfect/incomplete naming of D.C.-area losses - I’m sure journalists from other cities could make lists. A horde of New Wave and early alternative musicians have died within the past few years. Whether through the stress of hard living/poverty, substance abuse, cancer or Covid-19, we’re seeing artists pass much earlier than I, anyway, expected them to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Top to bottom: Fred "Freak” Smith, Michael Maye with Evan Johns, Tru Fax and the Insaniacs)
We’re already past the loss of all the original Ramones. All the Cramps less Poison Ivy. Joe Strummer. Robert Quine. Hilly Kristal. Lou Reed. As of July, 2020, since 2018 we’ve also lost Andy Gill, Ivan Kral, Genesis P-Orridge, Adam Schlesinger, Danny Mihm, Ric Ocasek, Daniel Johnston, Kim Shattuck, Lorna Doom, Mark Hollis, Keith Flint, Ranking Roger, Mark E. Smith, Glenn Branca, Randy Rampage, Hardy Fox, Pete Shelley, Matthew Seligman, Bill Rieflin, Dave Greenfield, Florian Schneider,  Ian Dury, Benjamin Orr, Kirsty McColl and David Roback.

Talking about the deaths of talented, gifted creatives is a helluva way to start a column. But here we are. Older performers don’t always get the attention afforded newer, so the rest of this piece shares and celebrates artists from the original New Wave/punk scenes who are still around and active. Many are from the D.C.-area cornucopia I know best, while others have just come to my attention, or seem especially noteworthy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MED9_XK_JVQ
The Zeros’ Javier Escovedo has been steadily emitting tasty Americana-ish rock while occasionally dropping some Zeros sturm-’n’-drang - most recently with Munster Records single “In The Spotlight” and a track on Burger Records’ Quarantunes compilation. Quarantunes is a seven-album affair featuring 140 alternative/punk performers old and new, all of whom wrote songs between March-April 2020. A cursory listen to Volume 2 reveals the recorded version of a good night at a very wild bar, with Zeros still handily kicking ass of all ages.
https://velvetmonkeys.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-of-success?fbclid=IwAR0lJyS0YDE4e3o7LJiITEtw1lhBWMkUX47Vuag1Lf9fs2QozJJKD1lwkes
Velvet Monkeys/B.A.L.L. player and Sonic Youth/Teenage Fanclub producer Don Fleming reports, “We’ve put out new tracks ‘Theories of Rummanetics’ and ‘Legacy of Success.’ Jay has written a few ‘modules’ and Malcolm and I are having fun doing the music,” adding, “I play some electric six string on the new Rob Moss album - it’s fun to be on, with lots of guitar slingers from the DC daze.”
Yup, Rob Moss of Skin-Tight Skin has solicited contributions from Fleming and from Marshall Keith (Slickee Boys), along with a pile of talent including Stuart Casson (Psychotics/Dove/Meatmen), Franz Stahl (Foo Fighters/Scream), Billy Loosigian (Nervous Eaters, the Boom-Boom Band), Nels Cline (Wilco) and Saul Koll (the guy who made guitars for Henry Kaiser and Lee Ranaldo). The set is called We’ve Come Back To Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Chumps/Workdogs/Jam Messengers player Rob Kennedy apparently has too much energy to throw in the towel - he’s kept recording, performing and making various sorts of lo-fi, DIY mischief that never loses that fresh, ‘70s feeling. Jam Messengers released Night And Day on vinyl in 2017. One of my fave Kennedy tracks, “A Low Down Dirty Shame” speaks to this moment as well as any.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-CRBEGVLE4
Former Tiny Desk Unit/Fuji’s Navy/Rhoda & the Bad Seeds members Bob Boilen, Kevin Lay, Michael Barron and Bob Harvey have released a new Danger Painters joint, Thank Speak Love This Record. Lay joked, “I have a voice made for Morse Code” before revealing his recent work with Rhoda and the Bad Seeds material, released June 30 as Live at Nightclub 9:30. Boilen continues to introduce artists both vital and obscure via Tiny Desk Concerts and All Songs Considered/NPR.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejQ1GajwfB0
I’ve seen David Arnson play recently and can attest to his proclivity for unfettered growth via Insect Surfers, the instrumental group that originally had some trouble establishing cred. with younger D.C. punks. The Surfers’ most recent release was Living Fossils (2019). Arnson celebrated the band’s 40 years of existence with a European tour in 2019.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SkIuWIZVkM
Jad Fair says, “Half Japanese will have a new album released in November on Fire Records.” Jad’s art was recently featured at the Hiromart Gallery/Tokyo, while David has created a Facebook page where fans can pick up his colorful images for, well, mere bags o’ shells, as far as we can see -  https://www.facebook.com/David-Fair-Painting-107055447700859/
Despite health issues for several members, Bad Brains has collaborated with Element to make BB themed skate wear https://www.elementbrand.com/mens-collection-bad-brains/ and added some killer live tracks to its YouTube channel.  
Former WGTB programmers John Paige and Steve Lorber have been presenting Rock Continuum on WOWD-LP FM 94.3 since 2017.
Mike Stax continues to give excellent motivation for hunting down a pair of Beatle boots - Munster released the Loons’ 7” EP, A Dream In Jade Green, last year. The latest issue of Ugly Things, said by Stax to be heavily focused on the Pretty Things’ Phil May, was reported in early July to be nearing publication.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6jSc7gEAv0
Razz (the) Documentary will tell the story of how an uncommonly combustible rock band - especially with the Bill Craig/Abaad Behram line-up - helped spread the Flamin’ Groovies gospel while throwing down oddly compelling originals and taking the two-guitar thing up several notches - the producers are purportedly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Whether anyone can ever recreate the experience of being in an altered state via obsessive, sometimes conversational repetition of certain chords, anchored by Ted Nicely rethinking just what can be done with a bass guitar, given girth by Doug Tull’s intuitive drumming; with Mike Reidy the heat-seeking missile somewhere near the center... well, I doubt it. ‘Cause at this point you’re feeling no pain and it’s not about drinking; there is no room for anything but water - the beer will be knocked over when you’re this busy matching David Arnson’s other-side-of-the-front-line’s leaps into joydum while PCP’d out yahoos from the sticks learn the hard way that hugging Marshall amps can lead to lifelong repercussions. There (in case nothing I want to say about [the] Razz makes it into the film) - I’ve said it.
Discussions among old friends have confirmed that I’m not alone in being happily surprised at this development - we never expected our actions - which led to the hardcore explosion that’s received a lot more attention... would ever make it into any history book. Yet coverage of many of the D.C.-area musicians featured in this piece also comes with Punk The Capitol, A History of D.C. Punk and Hardcore, 1976-1983. Spring 2021 is the projected date for streaming/DVD release.
Ivan Julian came back from a scary 2015 bout with cancer to do a show in New York in 2016. The cancer has returned. Friends have organized a GoFundMe to raise money for surgery and basic needs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDB_3by-xkI
The Shakemore fest also refuses to fade, promising “eight hours of streaming steaming video” on August 1. Sounds will be provided by R. Stevie Moore, Velvet Monkeys, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns, Half Japanese, Johnny Spampinato, Weird Paul and the Chumps, among many, many others.
Despite having played at CBGB and other alternative venues in 1979, at the height of the New Wave, Gary Wilson’s work is so distinctive, he’s rarely been included with any musical genre other than the oft-vague “experimental” category. Folks were too unmoored by his visceral performances to get behind him. Wilson’s 14th album, Tormented, was released by Cleopatra in February.
Paul Collins recently published a book that he wrote with Chuck Nolan; I Don’t Fit In: My Wild Ride Through the Punk and Power Pop Trenches with the Nerves and the Beat (Hozac Books).
Tumblr media
As “Heath,” Michael Layne Heath, a journalist who contributed to (the) Infiltrator and many other ‘zines, published My Week Beats Your Year: Encounters with Lou Reed in May (Hat & Beard Press).
In April, X released its first album in 35 years; Alphabetland.  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ1I-laItPI
As exciting for me as any of the above is Richard Hell with the Heartbreakers’ 2019 release of Yonkers Demo 1976. Hell’s “You Gotta Lose” is one of my picks for best punk/new wave singles of all time. The Heartbreakers version is, predictably, messier than the Robert Quine guitar-spiked classic. Its more excessive charms are growing on me...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48QnsysCN_A
This piece could go on and on - compiling it has been exhausting. The best part has been the response to my social media call for any info I didn’t have re: the D.C.-centric scene I left for New York in 1983. Musicians anxious to keep their compadres’ names alive have hammered that post with 138 comments to date. Urban Verbs percussionist Danny Frankel, who’s played with a colorful spread of artists including Beck, Marianne Faithful, Lou Reed, John Cale and k.d. Lang, made a point of being sure I knew about the passing of Marc Halpern, a source of obvious pain. People were worried I wouldn’t mention John Stabb (Government Issue - 2016), rockabilly player Billy Hancock (2018), Fred “Freak” Smith (Strange Boutique/Beefeater - murdered in Los Angeles, 2017), John Hansen (Slickee Boys - 2010), record store owner/Wasp Records starter/music supporter Bill Asp, Jimmy Barnett of The Killer Bees, and David Byers.
One of the hardest for me to write about is Chris Morse, whose 1984 passing from a drug overdose wrenched so many - I managed to get an obituary into, I think, The New York Rocker (that physical trek was part of a long-ago blur; a very hot day of traipsing over steaming concrete in a narrow-skirted dress to deliver the copy). Chris popped up in my dreams for years - one “visitation” pushed me to write a poem about it in the ‘90s. Morse, who played in Rhoda & The Bad Seeds and worked as a doorman at The Pyramid after moving to NYC in the early ‘80s, was on one of the Urban Verbs’ early flyers. I’m on another.

I ended up getting so burnt out on the responsibility of populating this sad roll call, I’ve started a memorial page for them all on Facebook. The nature of truly alternative music is such that many of its lights still fail to fill the pages of major publications. Many of these lights gave a great deal of their lives, if not everything, for the art they believed in. It’s good to remember them, and those heady early days. It’s good to enjoy what we still can.

{So, you all wanted a big post. ATM there is a war happening between the humans and elves due to Kyle (will explain later in this post) Here is the world of Ellesmere and her people. Warning long post ahead!}
Ellesmere:
Tumblr media
Ellesmere is mostly forest land with various mountain ranges.
Zariya is where the elves live. It has various mountain regions within in it. The capital of Zariya is located in the center. That is where the kingdom is. The farther out from the kingdom you go the less populated the area becomes. Many of the woodland creatures now live in this area due to the humans destroying woodland areas for their cities and villages. Some of the animals that you’ll see are deer, elk, wolves, rabbits, various birds, mountain lions. There is a magical barrier that protects Zariya from the humans. It is about thirty miles wide. The farther into the barrier the humans get the more their brain becomes fog.
Lithelle is largest human region. Lithelle is flat land that is rich of copper and gold. This is where the metal alchemist will live to make and mold the weapons, armor, and other items for the capital. This is where the werewolf camps are located. There are other experiments that happen here, but no one knows for sure what it is.
Ravaryn is where all the farming villages are located. The soil is rich and never seems to lose their nutrients. Many believe this is where the magical energy radiates from the most.
Kikoro is the fishing ports and small rural villages. It is the poorest of the human colonies.
Findare is a hilly area that is rich of silver. The people of Findare make many of the weapons that the soldiers of the castle will use. They also will make everyday items that are sold in Cantrick.
Cantrick is the second wealthiest place is Ellesmere. All the worlds shops are located there. It is overcrowded and crime is very high. Toward the center of it is where the more rundown and sketchier looking shops are. They say that you can find some of the rarest goods there if you know who to ask.
Alynthi is considered the capital of Ellesmere by the humans. It is where the kingdom of the humans is located. It looks like something out of fairytale. The city is made mostly of metal and brick. In the morning it shine brightly under the rising sun. During that time they call it the pure hour. Toward the center of town is where the castle is located. It is surrounded by giant walls to keep the common people out. The finest alchemy schools are located in Alynthi. The city is always busy with people working, going to school, and selling items. The farther out you travel though you are more likely to see poverty stricken areas.
Ellesmere’s facts:
The elven kingdom has used this magic for healing and medicine, they called it Galena. While the human kingdom has used the magic energy for alchemy; they called it Vitriol.
Alynthins were peaceful people until they were given this energy.
Since the discovery of alchemy, they have been able to advance rapidly. They learned how to sculpt and make things from simple objects around them. By discovering this they were able to explore more of Ellesmere by using mechanical horses that ran at speeds much faster than a regular horse. They were also able to make weapons of war. They used these weapons to capture small kingdoms and villages.
Not a hundred years had passed before they had various colonies throughout the land.
The elven kingdom were peaceful. The Zariyans were afraid of the humans due to the war machines that their alchemy had created. In response to this, their elders created a magical barrier around the kingdom that kept them hidden from the wars. Those who walked close to the kingdom minds were filled with a haze that made them forget what they were doing.
Races
Humans:
Humans have been around since the beginning of time.
They do not possess the magic ability to heal. They can create life, but not help it.
Even though there are various colonies, all humans are called Alynthians.
They are a monarchy.
They are a monotheistic religion.
Their god is called Tersele and they are the one who gave them magic. 
They don’t believe that the Earth gave them their magical abilities.
Everyone is born with the ability to use alchemy, but as they get older some people will lose it.
Everyone in the royal family are highly skilled in all three types of alchemy. They just don’t rely on it much and they don’t lose their powers
At the age of 10 is when they begin alchemy school.
At the school they learn three types of alchemy: Combat Alchemy Creation Alchemy Metalist Alchemy
Elves:
The history of the elves origin is unknown. Many of the elders believe that they once came from the human race, but the magical energy changed their makeup and caused them to use the magic differently.
They cannot do alchemy. Many have tried, but they just do not possess that type of magic.
Not many people though can use galena now. Only a rare few can. Those who can have the elders teach them about the healing and medicine they can do.
They start school as early as 5
They are a monarchy.
They are a monotheistic:
The Goddess of the Forest: Fersety
She watches over the wildlife and protects them during the hunt
Believes that she gives them galena
They have a ceremony that everyone must go through when they become of age. In this ceremony the elf gets their markings. The person wears the ceremonial white robe. It symbolizes the purity that they person posses from childhood. They then are submerged into water and when they rise it symbolizes the rebirth into adulthood. When galena is used their markings light up. How the ceremony is conducted varies depending on your status.
Royal family:
You are in a sacred room that is filled with water that has been blessed by the elders. The elders chant for the Goddess to bless them as they receive their marking. During this they might experience visions of both the past and future.
People of nobility:
The person does it in a pool at their local temple. The water has been blessed by the elders, but it is their religious leaders that chant while they are submerged. They will get visions, but they are not as powerful since it is not the elders chanting.

11 22-27 2021 Freeport – Canyon Lake, Texas From traveling from Freeport to Canyon Lake Texas...So we got to overnight it on the beach in Freeport, Texas on the gulf… Wow we slept so well. Except the second night Craig woke up and saw hi-tide approaching your vehicle. So Craig asked me to get up at 2 am to see if we should temp moving the vehicle when I saw the night before did the same thing I said wait for the tide to go down. Being on the beach all day with sunshine was heavenly. It was a wow to see the difference from being by the Gulf of Texas to the green lush hilliness countryside which was so very cool and amazing. Deciding to head to our friends Charles and Margie first and have Thanksgiving. #thanksgiving #travel #Freeport #Texas #warmth #meetingnewfriends #connectingconciousness #simonparks https://dropsanddreams.com/4life/12-05-2021-11-22-27-2021-freeport--canyon-lake-texas https://www.instagram.com/busybeetraveler/p/CXHzElKL5EB/?utm_medium=tumblr
