The Bulldogs burst out of the blocks in the opening 15 minutes but fell in a heap in the second-half as the Eels ran over the top of them to break a three-game losing streak.

Parramatta remain in last spot, however it moved them to 10 points, equal with the Dogs and North Queensland, who take on St George Illawarra on Saturday.

In front of a disappointing crowd of 8437, there were few highlights in a game marked by errors and penalties.

The Dogs’ fifth tackle options in particular were woeful in the second half as halves Lachlan Lewis and Jeremy Marshall-King failed to impose themselves on the game.

The Eels took the lead for the first time in the 53rd minute when a Lewis grubber ricocheted off Nathan Brown and Mitchell Moses ran 90 metres untouched.

A Moses penalty goal in the 69th minute gave the Eels an eight-point buffer before two points from Rhyse Martin with seven minutes to play set up a tense finish.

The Eels held on to secure just their second win in their last 10 starts and fourth victory of the season.

Fans who did turn up were applauded by those watching on from home with calls for the game to be called off early.

Earlier, the Dogs opened up a 6-0 lead when Kerrod Holland shot through a gaping hole close to the line in just the seventh minute.

But the Eels were back on level pegging by halftime after Brett Morris was sin- binned for holding back Bevan French.

Kaysa Pritchard blew a golden chance the set immediately after Morris went for 10 when he lofted a forward pass.

However the Eels No.9 atoned just minutes later when he finished off a Tepai Moeroa break.

The Dogs also have concerns over forward Clay Priest, who left the field in the second half with what appeared to be a right hand injury.

Sadly for both teams the biggest talking point from the game was due to the absurd oversight by the league in allowing by sides to wear an almost identical jersey.

Danny De Silva popped up in first-half injury time to score a goal that might end up saving the Mariners from the wooden spoon.

Entering Friday night’s fixture in ninth and on equal points with the last- placed Phoenix, the Mariners sorely needed all three in Gosford. While they hardly put their Kiwi visitors to the sword, the laboured victory lifts Paul Okon’s battlers into eighth and, more importantly, stops them slipping rock bottom for the first time since round one.

The Phoenix clearly arrived with a plan to sit off and counter-attack, but were victims of their own trepidation and demonstrated little in the way of cohesive moments in transition.

Sarpreet Singh, in his second career start, took a wild skyward swing while Dylan Fox headed well over the bar in Wellington’s only real chances before Roy Krishna sparked to life after the break.

The Mariners enjoyed most possession and worked into good areas but rarely threatened with any real certainty.

De Silva’s provider Andrew Hoole shone as the Mariners’ primary attacking outlet and marginally missed a drive from distance, while Alan Baro and Wout Brama were easily denied by Tando Velaphi.

The hosts’ persistence finally paid off close to halftime.

Hoole engaged Trent Buhagiar in a lovely one-two before cleverly picking out De Silva’s run, the playmaker catching the ball on the volley and flicking home off the outside of his boot.

Had the Phoenix exercised more conviction, they might have left with something, but Darije Kalezic’s side made it easy for a Mariners outfit who only last week blew a two-goal lead over 10-man Adelaide.

Krishna rattled the crossbar – though a teammate was offside – and then embarked on a promising solo run only to find the side netting.

The Mariners were searching for a second goal and Hoole’s 69th-minute free-kick appeared to be it, until substitute Blake Powell’s header hit the upright and was somehow cleared off the line by Andrew Durante.

That turned into a Phoenix breakaway and a brilliant cross-goal Krishna ball as Andrija Kaluderovic gave the side netting another workout.

Worryingly, Dutch midfielder Tom Hiariej was subbed off 15 minutes from time with an apparent pelvic injury, as the Mariners dug in to weather a late Wellington onslaught.

18 years after making his directorial debut, Troy Duffy only has two movies under his belt, and they’re both Boondock Saints movies. In the eight years since the last sequel, Boondock Saints: All Saints Day, he’s worked on a few projects, including another Saints sequel and a TV series based on his cult ’90s movie. His next project, though, has nothing to do with his series. The director’s next feature, The Blood Spoon Council, is about a vigilante group hunting down serial killers.

Below, learn more about the new Troy Duffy project.

As you’d expect, the Blood Spoon Council is the name of the vigilante group. They hunt and kill serial killers and are led by a mastermind profiler. The F.B.I. hires a profiler of their own to join the group and investigate. A game of cat and mouse ensues.

In a statement, Duffy said he wants to make an “action-packed psychological thriller”:

I want to create an action packed psychological thriller with Blood Spoon and I have held nothing back. All the killers and their crimes are inspired by actual serial cases. The mastermind of the Council is a one-of-a-kind character that will take a one-of-a-kind talent to portray him. The Blood Spoon Council may be dark but it is darkly beautiful, darkly exciting and it satisfies that devilish curiosity many of us have about serial killers and the uniquely gifted individuals who pursue them.

Producer Scott Clayton’s Oceanside Media is financing Duffy’s next film. Clayton believes Duffy will make “make an impactful resurgence in the industry”:

Troy has built an incredibly strong and loyal fan base following The Boondock Saints. Fans of his cult classic, both old and new, are in for a special treat with his latest film project, The Blood Spoon Council. He brings back the same raw, unforgiving action tangled with the kinetic storytelling that audiences know and love to his new film. With his extraordinary cinematic vision, Troy is poised to make an impactful resurgence in the industry.

Duffy was expected to make a splash with his directorial debut, as documented in the candid and entertaining doc, Overnight. After making a big deal with producer Harvey Weinstein, his debut ultimately underperformed in theaters and didn’t get much love from critics, only for the movie to develop a cult following on home video. Duffy’s The Boondocks Saints sequel was probably more or less what the first movie’s fans and critics expected. In the eight years since it came out, Duffy has worked on The Boondock Saints: Origins, a feature called Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em, and a script he co-wrote with Cedric the Entertainer.

ADELAIDE Thunderbirds’ losing streak has stretched to 11 games after another lacklustre performance against Queensland Firebirds in Brisbane last night.

Highly optimistic of securing their second win for the season after seriously challenging Giants Netball last week, the Thunderbirds were never in the contest and went down 48-59.

All 10 players in the Thunderbirds team were given action as coach Dan Ryan searched desperately for a winning formula.

The victory has kept the Firebirds’ slim hopes of a finals berth alive, although they must win both remaining games and hope Collingwood Magpies lose their two battles.

Ryan stuck with the starting seven which did such a terrific job in the two-goal loss to highly rated Giants.

However, there was so much familiarity with the opening quarter, the Thunderbirds defence getting their hands to plenty of turnover ball, only for the attack end failing to convert the opportunities.

The tight defensive work of the Firebirds, led by Kate Shimmin, put each Thunderbirds’ possession under constant pressure and the home side fed off turnover balls to build a six-goal lead.

The Thunderbirds fought back to reduce the deficit to three at quarter-time, but the clumsy mistakes continued to flow in the scrappy encounter.

Veteran midcourter Jade Clarke was forced from the court early in the second quarter after a collision with Caitlin Nevis and she was replaced by Gia Abernethy.

Midway through the period there was another revamp by Ryan with experienced Karyn Bailey introduced into the goal circle to replace youngster Sasha Glasgow.

The Thunderbirds’ refusal to treasure possession was punished by the Firebirds, who coughed up plenty of turnovers themselves.

Although the Thunderbirds won the final quarter, the loss further cements their favouritism for the wooden spoon, which will be a first for the club.

]]> https://briefnews.eu/wooden-spoon-beckons-for-t-birds/feed/ 0 Jim Eno of Spoon gives us the scoop on ‘Hot Thoughts’ and streaming music https://briefnews.eu/jim-eno-of-spoon-gives-us-the-scoop-on-hot-thoughts-and-streaming-music/ https://briefnews.eu/jim-eno-of-spoon-gives-us-the-scoop-on-hot-thoughts-and-streaming-music/#respond Sat, 18 Mar 2017 05:40:46 +0000 http://briefnews.eu/jim-eno-of-spoon-gives-us-the-scoop-on-hot-thoughts-and-streaming-music/

“If everybody wants to listen to their music through streaming, we, as artists, have to find a way to play in that environment.”

Could the indie art-rock gods known as Spoon have come up with a better name for their electrifyingly great new album than Hot Thoughts? Not bloody likely.

On Hot Thoughts, their first studio effort in three years, which is out today in various formats via Matador Records, the Austin, Texas-based collective is firing on all cylinders. From the echo-driven joy of the title track to the percussive explosiveness of Do I Have to Talk You Into It to the funky kicks going down in Can I Sit Next to You, Spoon have figured out how to draw a literal map to the expressway inside your skull.

And we’re not kidding about that last statement, by the way — through Spotify, Spoon have indeed done that very thing via the Aura Reader app, which enables you to create your own customized skull cover art for the album based on your personal playlist.

Spoon again worked with producer Dave Fridmann (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Flaming Lips) to get the right sound in the studio for Hot Thoughts. “We treat the recording experience like it’s really special. It’s gotta be unique, and it’s gotta be great,” Spoon drummer Jim Eno told Digital Trends. “And when we’re done with the record, we have to figure out how we’re going to present it live.”

Eno called Digital Trends from his home base in Austin to discuss the overall sonic template for Hot Thoughts, curating live local sessions for Spotify, and the ongoing importance of album sequencing in the streaming era.

Digital Trends: There was a bit of a change in the Spoon sound on 2014’s They Want My Soul once you brought Dave Fridmann into mix it and produce the second half of it. Was there a powwow with him beforehand about how you wanted Hot Thoughts to sound?

Jim Eno: Not really. Since we really liked working with Dave on Soul, we always felt it would be good to do another record with him. He was very adamant about being on board with doing it: “Just in case I’m not clear, guys, I really, really, really want to do this next record.” And we felt the same way. He’s amazing, and we sort of took it from there.

Was there a specific percussive feel you wanted Hot Thoughts to have?

Well, I’ve always been a “song” drummer. I always do parts that actually work with the song.

Your philosophy is just like Ringo Starr’s was with The Beatles: Always serve the song first.

Yeah, yeah. I come from a simple rock and jazz background. I feel like the less you play, the more it means. You can do a thousand fills in a song, and that creates chaos. But if you do one or two, then they really, really mean something. I feel that helps the song and doesn’t get in the way of the lyric and a lot of the other content. That’s just how I like to play.

Among my favorite moments of yours on the record is how you come into I Ain’t the One a little bit after it starts, and then you have the shift in volume that comes in and out of it.

That was all drum machine on that one. And it’s cool; I don’t mind it. I learned a long time ago that I’m fine with me not playing on songs — that is, not physically playing on songs on many of our records. I feel if it works for the song, that’s the best thing to do.

That also makes the record more varied and more interesting to the listener. If it was just bass, drums, and guitar on every song — well, we can be a little better than that. We can be more creative. We’ve felt that way since probably Girls Can Tell (2001).

Is that also a drum machine I hear on Do I Have to Talk You Into It, or is that you pounding out that John Bonham feel? That’s a powerful moment.

Yeah, that’s me. That beat came from the demo, but I modified it a little bit. It was a placeholder drum machine. As you’ve noticed in a lot of my parts, I use flams to accent stuff — and that’s a good flam rocker right there.

Then we get all of the cool detail in Pink Up, with its ’60s vibe, the sibilant tambourine stuff, and the cymbal work going on in the back half of it.

That song came about in a very interesting construction based around a lot of what Dave Fridmann was hearing. We had a programmed Linn drum machine where we pitched the toms. It was fun doing that, and it sounded pretty cool, but it was Dave’s idea to get everyone in the same room: “Hey, everyone go in there and pick a percussion instrument that is basically ‘talking’ to you.” We did a lot of different passes for that one, and he pieced it out and staged all of it.

After we did the percussion, we took a 30-minute break, and what you hear on the record is pretty much what Dave came up with in those 30 minutes to an hour, and how he was hearing it. Pretty cool.

I love that. That’s the kind of thing I want to hear in a hi-res format. We got a 96kHz/24-bit download version of They Want My Soul. Are we going to get the same option with Hot Thoughts?

Yeah, I think so. We listen to hi-res all the time too, though I probably prefer vinyl. That’s what we normally listen to at home. We also travel a lot, so we listen to music on our phones, on the plane, and in the bus. I do listen to MP3s on my phone most of the time because of all of the storage limitations.

Sometimes, I tend to separate sonics from songs. But when you’re home and you’re just chilling, you want to have a relaxing time — so you throw on some vinyl.

That’s what I call appointment listening, where the album becomes your whole focus. Do you have any favorite albums you do that with?

Let’s see. I’m a big fan of [2007’s] In Rainbows, by Radiohead. That record sounds amazing. I just love all the songs. I also like a lot of jazz records, like [Miles Davis’] Kind of Blue (1959).

You curate playlists for Spotify, right?

Yeah, I do recording for Spotify. I’ve been doing it for about five years. There are a lot of festivals that come to Austin — South by Southwest, ACL(Austin City Limits), Levitation Psych Fest, Fun Fun Fun — there’s a lot of them. I had the idea that I would curate original content around these festivals, and Spotify was on board with that. I did about six sessions before I worked with a few bands at this last South by Southwest. I try to do a couple every year.

I love the session you did with The Shins.

Oh, that Shins session was great. Usually, James [Mercer] is working by himself with maybe one or two other people, but when he comes in with a six-piece band that’s been playing together for a year — I mean, that was a tight, tight band. It was pretty awesome to record them.

I was just looking at the numbers for Spoon on Spotify. Do You has over 20 million listens, and Inside Out has over 15 million. As an artist, how do you feel about streaming?

Ah, well, I’m fine with it. I come from a high-tech background — I was a processor guy. I designed computer chips in my previous life. If everybody wants to listen to their music through streaming, we, as artists, have to find a way to play in that environment.

I’ve always felt we have to embrace it and try to see how it works. I’m not going to fight it, because it’s all going that way. The writing has been on the wall for the past five to 10 years.

I think that’s healthy. Besides, listeners have plenty of options for how we want to listen to Spoon music.

Exactly right. And we’ve done things like a “This Is Spoon” playlist, where we’re reaching out to fans who listen to us a lot — the highest-type streamers in certain cities. We’re embracing that sort of fan interaction.

We don’t discriminate as to how people want to listen to their music, whether it’s other streaming services, or whatever. It doesn’t really matter.

And speaking of playlist-related stuff, that Aura Reader app is a pretty interesting idea.

Someone at our label saw how Spotify captures these statistics about your songs and playlists, and they wondered if we could somehow map those into the Hot Thoughts skull album art, and show the “aura” of a playlist. Yeah, that was a pretty cool idea.

I also like how Spotify shares data with bands about what parts of the country and the world they’re being streamed the most, and maybe you tailor tour dates around that information.

That’s one of the great things about most any streaming service. Pandora offers that too — giving bands metrics they can fold back into tours, appearances, and giveaways. It’s allowing artists to be more creative in the ways they reach their fans. There are a lot of pluses around the digital side of things.

I like having choices like that. As I’m still very much an album-sequence kinda guy, I really like listening to Hot Thoughts in the exact order you’ve presented it.

That’s good to hear, because we spent a helluva long time sequencing this record. I’m glad you listened to it the way we intended it.

I get the reason why Hot Thoughts is the first track and Us is the last track, which brings me full circle as a listener. I know we all like to cherry-pick tracks here in the streaming age, but there’s still something valid about listening to an album in order.

Yeah — I wish we could take off the shuffle button so that you couldn’t shuffle Hot Thoughts as you listen to it. (both laugh)

You could probably disable it somehow. Or you could do what Prince did with his [1988] Lovesexy album, where it was all programmed as one song on the CD. You couldn’t skip ahead to Alphabet St. even if you wanted to, unless you kept your finger down on the fast-forward button.

That’s a pretty cool idea. There was also that Sony Walkman with the tape in it that was sealed so you couldn’t get at it, where there wasn’t any fast-forward or rewind.

Right! I also remember listening to an advance of a Radiohead’s OK Computer (1996) when it was sealed into a cassette player. I’m glad sequencing is still an important thing to you guys. Maybe the vinyl revival also helps with that to some degree.

That’s a positive, definitely — listening to an album without skipping around. We work hard on that. We want to tell a story and have it mean something as you go through it. We’re not telling you there’s a specific story there, but you can definitely get a mood and a feel that’s above the feel of just one song. We just like doing it that way.

I like hearing where I Ain’t the One comes later in the record. Hearing it any earlier than that — like, say, where Whisper I’lllistentohearit is near the beginning — wouldn’t have worked for me. It wouldn’t feel right.

Oh, that’s cool, because it was first in a couple of our earlier sequences. (chuckles) But we didn’t think it worked. Once we put Hot Thoughts as the first track, the rest of the order started coming together.

There is a lot going on in all these tracks. We try to do that so that listeners will hear new things as they continue listening. We want people to listen to the full record, but who knows if they’ll actually do it? That’s the hope, anyway.
