Listen to Sufjan Stevens Lamentations, the second part of his five-part album – NME
Posted: April 21, 2021 at 9:24 am
Sufjan Stevens has shared the second part of his upcoming five-part album listen to Lamentations below.
The track is included on the second part ofStevens new 49-track album Convocations, which is due out next month.
Each of the five parts of the album are being released one-by-one in the run-up to the albums full release. Earlier this month, Stevens shared the albums first part, Meditations, before the Lamentations release was previewed earlier this week by new track Lamentation II.
Following them will be Revelations (April 22), Celebrations (April 29) and Incantations (May 6). The new instrumental record from Stevens will be released digitally on May 6 via Asthmatic Kitty. A 5xLP coloured vinyl edition of Convocations will follow on August 20.
Listen to the 30-minute Lamentations below.
The forthcoming project is comprised of five volumes Meditations, Lamentations, Revelations, Celebrations and Incantations and sees Stevens reflect on a year of anxiety, uncertainty, isolation and loss through 49 new songs.
Stevens created the album in tribute to his biological father, who died just two days after his 2020 album The Ascension was released. According to a press release, each Convocations volume represents a different stage of the mourning process.
Reviewing The Ascension upon its release last year, NME said: The unashamed pop feel of The Ascension is regularly coupled with the sort of wiry electronics you might expect to hear in a Glastonbury dance tent at 4am.
These anxious instrumentals echo the albums uneasy outlook and fear of the future, and when they combine forces it often makes for an astonishing listen. The world is pretty shitty at the moment and its easy to feel helpless, but as the horror show that is 2020 continues to rumble on, The Ascension is yet another ample soundtrack to rage-dance to.

‘Blind Ambition’, ‘The Kids’ to premiere at Tribeca Film Festival – Inside Film
Posted: at 9:24 am
Two Australian documentaries, Robert Coe and Warwick Ross Blind Ambition and Eddie Martins The Kids, will make their world premiere in competition at Tribeca Film Festival in June.
Blind Ambition, directed and produced by Coe and Ross for Third Man Films, follows four Zimbabwean refugees who form their countrys first Wine Tasting Olympics team, and the mission that drives them to compete.
Coe and Ross said to premiere at Tribeca was absolutely thrilling.
We are truly grateful to Tinashe, Joseph, Marlvin and Pardon for letting us into their lives and giving us the opportunity to bring their inspiring underdog story to the screen, they told IF in a joint statement.
Their talent, perseverance and relentless optimism showed us just how irrepressible the human spirit can be and we cant wait to share their journey with the Tribeca audience and Australian audiences soon after.
Writing the film with the pair were Paul Murphy and Madeleine Ross. A theatrical release is planned via Madman Entertainment later this year, while Protagonist is handling international sales.
Martins The Kids, produced by Shannon Swan, explores the divergent paths taken by the original cast of director Larry Clark and writer Harmony Korines 1995 indie cult film, the NY-set Kids.
US-based co-producers for The Kids include Hamilton Chango Harris, Peter Bici, Caroline Rothstein and Jessica Forsyth, with the film shot by cinematographer Hugh Miller.
Tribeca makes perfect sense for our film and were honoured to be invited into this years competition, Martin tells IF.
Were also thrilled family and friends related to our story can attend the world premiere. Thats really important for us as filmmakers.
Produced by 6 Seasons Production, Umbrella Entertainment is handling local distribution. Both docs were supported by Screen Australia.
Blind Ambition and The Kids will compete for Best Documentary Feature, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing against six other films: Bing Liu and Joshua Altmans All These Sons; Jessica Kingdons Ascension (Ascension ), directed by Jessica Kingdon; Drew Xanthopoulos Fathom; Suzanne Joe Kais Like a Rolling Stone: The Life & Times of Ben Fong-Torres; Maya Cueva and Leah Galants On the Divide and Max Erikssons The Scars of Ali Boulala.
This years Tribeca Film Festival, its 20th anniversary edition, will run in person in New York from June 9-20, with a feature line-up of 66 films from 23 countries. More than 60 per cent of the films are directed by female, BIPOC, and LGBTQI+ filmmakers.
Many of the films will also be available for US audiences to view online the day after they premiere in person through the Tribeca at Home virtual hub.
Despite the challenges our industry faced this past year, it did not stop filmmakers, artists, and storytellers from creating compelling, entertaining, and thought-provoking content, said Paula Weinstein, chief content officer of Tribeca Enterprises.
The selections for each of these categories represent the tenacity and commitment of our creative community and we are so proud to include them as part of this years Festival and share them with our returning in-person audiences.
There is special curated Juneteenth programming, highlighted throughout different verticals of the festival to celebrate voices from the African Diaspora, with special emphasis on African-American artists, performers, filmmakers, and interdisciplinary creators.
As previously announced, the Opening Night film will be Jon M. Chus In the Heights, the screen adaptation of Lin-Manuel Mirandas Tony Award-winning musical.
Additional programming will be announced in the coming weeks.
Full line-up here.

Residents say flooding in the area is not common after a rainy day, however they learned to prepare for any high water after the floods of 2016.
I kayaked out today. Im not staying there tonight I have work in the morning, Purvis says.
Businesses around the area are already seeing water levels decrease after receiving some sun on Sunday.
They expect the flooding to clear out by the end of the week.
Its leveled out now, Purvis says This is part of Louisiana.

With roads still flooded in Ascension Parish, residents find different ways of getting around – WBRZ
Posted: at 6:55 am
ASCENSION PARISH - Homeowners who live along the Amite River have been dealing with flooding since Thursday.
With roads expected to be unusable for the next couple of days, some residents have come up with creative solutions to get around.
Bo Mathern owns a house on Airport Drive. Because of the high water, he and his wife have been using his bulldozer to get to and from his home.
Dudley Marchand III lives right down the road from Mathern. Marchand's land has flooded so much that his front yard looks like a lake. Marchand said that he uses a boat to get around, leaving it parked in the garage for easy accessibility.
Residents also faced power outages Friday night when a tree fell on power lines and cut off electricity in the neighborhood. A DEMCO crew was still working on repairing the lines Saturday.
Even with all the flooding and the power outage, residents say they are still happy to live in the area.
"It's so peaceful and quiet back here it's worth a little bit of aggravation from the water," Marchand said.

Roofers slammed with business after hail storms damage property in Ascension – WBRZ
Posted: at 6:55 am
PRAIRIEVILLE - Residents are still assessing damage from back to back hail storms in the Prairieville area.
"That is the worst hail storm I have ever experienced," Rev. Anthony Bridges said, who lives in the Crestview area.
"I heard all that banging on the window. I never heard that before," Rev. Bridge added.
The two days of hail caused damage to Bridges' car. Now he's concerned about the house.
"I started worrying about my roof being damaged.Ijust put a new roof up, then my car windows are broken," Rev. Bridges said.
A roofing company answered calls several about damage in Bridges' neighborhood.
"The last two days it's been pretty busy," Kase Dupont with SOCO Roofing said.
DuPont says most of his calls were coming from the Prairieville area.
"The area we're in right now is a one (hail) inch impact zone,which is pretty significant as far as damage that will be causedto a roof," Dupont said.
Dupont says his workers won't be able to start repair jobs until next week, because they are still answering calls and inspecting hail damaged property.

COVID-19 and 5Geopolitics failed to derail China’s ascension and 5G aspiration – Lightcounting Market Research
Posted: at 6:55 am
LightCounting releases its China Wireless Infrastructure & Macroeconomics Update
April 15, 2021 -- LightCountings latest report provides an update on 5G developments in China, including macroeconomics, geopolitics, and technology. The predictions made last year that Chinas economy would be the only major one to grow in 2020 and that 5G rollouts would go as planned turned out to be true.
In fact, Chinese consumers could not travel abroad and spent their money at home, which kept the economy on track, and China over-delivered and exceeded its 5G base stations (BTS) target. China is now home to more than 70% of the worlds 5G BTS footprint, said Stphane Tral, Chief Analyst at LightCounting Market Research.
Our major findings in the report are:
- China was the only economy to grow in 2020 while the U.S. posted its worst year since the end of World War II. This also suggests that China remains on track to surpass the U.S. as the worlds largest economy in the 2026-2028 timeframe because COVID-19 reset the GDP race between the U.S. and China.
- China added more than 900k combined 4G and 5G BTS in 2020, driving total capex up by 11% YoY5G capex grew 327% YoY
- Chinas RAN market rose more than 30% YoY, and Huawei and ZTE commanded a combined market share greater than 75% for 2020.
- This year, we expect the same level of 5G activity as last year.
- In the mid- and long-term, our model shows lumpiness and bumpiness through 2026, which we predict will be the year China kicks off 6G.
- Overall, we expect no changes in the U.S. administrations stance against China and that further motivates Chinas 5G ecosystem to keep up with the 5G race, build up self-sufficiency and pave the way to 6G. But there will be still severe headwinds and challenges.
About the report:
LightCountings China Wireless Infrastructure and Macroeconomics report focuses on 5G developments in China, including macroeconomics, geopolitics, and technology. The publication date is scheduled a few weeks after the 4 services providers (e.g., China Broadcasting Network, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom) provide their interim reports so that we can gather many details about 1H21 and provide a 2H21 outlook and a 5-year forecast. This report also includes RAN vendor market shares and analysis.

The Next Step in RJ Barrett’s Ascension – The Knicks Wall
Posted: April 15, 2021 at 6:55 am
RJ Barrett continues to develop as a two-way threat on the perimeter. His recent stretch of success suggests he could become an All-Star. The next phase in his game is an improved floor game and unassisted threes.
Its fair to say that the conversation has begun to change around New York Knicks forward R.J. Barrett over the last three weeks. The second-year swingman has seen a jump in his efficiency, modest evolution as a playmaker, and his defense, his most underrated skill, become respected. It seems as if the remodeled roster and the upgrade from David Fizdale to Tom Thibodeau have helped speed up his overall trajectory.
Since coming off the All-Star break, Barrett has averaged 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. The True Shooting percentage of 56.2% is buoyed by improved free-throw shooting (74.4%) and three-point percentage (42.3%). If Barrett is supposed to take the leap and move from the good, young wing to All-Star, these stretches need to happen. The fourth quarter and overtime stretch against Memphis15 of his 20 points with several clutch momentsneed to occur more often.
His scoring at all three levels has vastly improved, the conversation has shifted to the next steps. What are the next steps to make Barrett an All-Star-level player?
The one thing, however, in Barretts game that Im curious about is his shooting. Sustainable? As Barrett has been at or above 34% from the outside in each of the previous three months, I would like to think so. How he gets them, however, is interesting. This season, Barrett has shot 76-of-201 from outside, with 75 of them being assisted, via Basketball-Reference. Thats 98.7% of his threes coming off the hands of a teammate.
Expanding his floor game is crucial for Barrett to evolve and take his game to the next level, as it appears to be the only thing stopping Barrett from not only becoming a great player but a player the Knicks could consider leaning on offensively and building around.
The majority of Barretts threes come from the catch-and-shoot. More often than not, Barrett is the recipient of a kick-out pass to the corner after Julius Randle or Derrick Rose drive and absorb the defense. Randle superficially has been huge in finding the former Duke guard on the outside, using his ball-handling to extend the play further, use gravity, and pull a defender in before kicking it to Barrett. As a result, Barrett going from 33.8% on catch-and-shoot threes as a rookie to 38.1% as a sophomore has been instrumental in New Yorks success this season, providing a bit more stretch in New Yorks starting lineup.
But when it comes to his floor game, Barretts ability to create for himself lags behind a bit. Hes comfortable attacking the basketmeticulously drifting through the lane before exploding to the rim. Hes also solid when creating in the middle of the floor, capable of getting off the screen settling for a solid jumper. However, the next proper phase here is getting him the ball a bit further back and allowing him to assume some of those Randle possessions, allowing him to create from the top of the key.
Two players in a similar situation are Raptors forward OG Anunoby and Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown. Anunoby, fresh off of signing a four-year, $72 million extension with Toronto, is in the midst of taking his game to the next level as Toronto moves into its post-Lowry era. Still a bit reliant on creation to get him threes, Anunoby has taken baby steps in creating his own offense.
For all the comparisons between Barrett and Heat forward Jimmy Butler, Im starting to believe that Brown might be a more apt comparison. Coming out of the University of California, Brown was largely viewed as an athlete with shooting concerns. However, Brown had a much better feel as a shooter and creator, which made him the third overall pick and assisted in his development in each of the last four seasons. Now Brown, at 24, gives Boston a one-two All-Star punch with Jayson Tatum.
The idea of what does it look like? is a bit silly because all players and situations are different. However, as Barrett continues to feel a bit more confident with putting the ball on the deck, Brown is a good analog for what he may provide when he figures it all out. Brown is a versatile, do-it-all wing player who can punish you by attacking the rim while also offering a true outside threat if you leave him too much space.
In short: Barrett needs more operating out of the pick-and-roll, absorbing some isolation possessions from Randle and more pull-up and spot-up threes. So, how do we get there?
The idea behind Point Barrett is one. Last season, the Knicks had a brief spell where Barrett ran the show, and he looked good. As New York continues to figure out and shuffle through the point guard position, giving the ball to Barrett might not be the worse idea in the world. Like Butler, Barrett getting those lead dog possessions offers him a chance to expand his shooting further and create a pallet. Barretts 14.5% assist rate is a bit too low for someone with Barretts creative ability.
And I would be remiss if I didnt mention the one crux in Thibodeaus coaching performance this seasonusing Barrett with non-Randle minutes. Even with a bit more minutes of Barrett and the Bench against Brooklyn, the two have been largely tethered together in Thibodeaus lineups. Placing Barrett among a true rim-running big man like Obi Toppin and two catch-and-shoot perimeter players like Immanuel Quickley and Reggie Bullock could open the floor and make things a bit easier in giving Barrett lead reps.
When it comes to second-year forward R.J. Barrett, he might be underrated at the moment. His defense is solid, and key to a New York team ranked in the top 10 defensively for the entire season. While slated to play a secondary role alongside Randles creation, his passing has remained positive and the shot profile, scoring from the outside, the free throw line, and the rim, have all vastly improved. This 17-game stretch has suggested that Barrett is heading into year three of his NBA career with All-Star aspirations.
To do that, however, the next step in his game that needs to be ironed out is the shooting. Getting him to become a better shooter on unassisted threes, specifically pull-up threes and threes in isolation, would have him going from a good young player to someone who can serve as a top-three option on an excellent team.

Woman wants to reconcile with former Ascension sheriff’s detective accused in domestic incident – The Advocate
Posted: at 6:55 am
GONZALES The ex-girlfriend of a former Ascension Parish sheriff's detective accused of stalking and committing battery against her testified Monday that she and the onetime deputy were trying to reconcile and she wanted a protective order against him removed.
The woman asked Judge Jason Verdigets to lift the order against Timothy G. May so she and May could meet personally and try to restore their relationship without fear of violating his bail conditions.
Among their limitations, the order bars him from being within 100 feet of his ex.
Verdigets, of the 23rd Judicial District, said later that he was likely to grant the request but could not guarantee such an order without first seeing a formal motion and hearing any possible objections from prosecutors.
Verdigets made the announcement after a private sidebar with May's attorney, Hallye Braud, and Assistant District Attorney Leila Braswell to learn more, he said, about the order against May following the woman's testimony.
Braswell did not voice any immediate objections in court. A spokesman for Ascension District Attorney Ricky Babin didn't immediately return a call for comment late Monday morning.
The Advocate is not identifying the woman, who was named in open court, as an alleged victim of domestic violence.
GONZALES The Ascension Parish sheriff fired one of his detectives after the officer's arrest over a domestic dispute with a former girlfriend.
May, 44, of Prairieville, was arrested after an alleged domestic dispute with the woman on Jan. 5 and was fired, Sheriff Bobby Webre has said.
May had been with the Sheriff's Office for 21 years. In his last job before being terminated, May investigated property crimes.
Twice daily we'll send you the day's biggest headlines. Sign up today.
At the time of his arrest, deputies said that their investigation following that incident turned up that May and the woman had several previous domestic disputes that had not been reported.
Deputies said at the time that the relationship had ended in October.
May has since been charged by prosecutors on a felony count of unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling and on misdemeanor counts of battery on a dating partner and stalking.
He pleaded not guilty to those charges on Monday at the Parish Courthouse in Gonzales a short while before the woman testified before Verdigets.
Under questioning Monday, the woman told Verdigets and prosecutors that she was not afraid of May anddid not fear for her safety.
Earlier, the woman also said that she was not in a relationship with May currently but wanted to reconcile with him.
May has been out on $25,000 bail since Jan. 6, online jail records say.
In a later interview, Braud said that prosecutors' offices in other parishes often agree to drop domestic charges against a person who has no prior criminal history, if the victim requests it.
Braud said her client has none but prosecutors in Ascension hadn't seemed willing so far to drop the counts.
