Someone to Watch Over Me follows on from the No Babies' debut LP of 2011 and it's successive fleet of empowering/imploding 7"s and EPs. Victoria M. Ruiz (of Downtown Boys) provides backup vocals on "The Weight" and "Internalized", whilst "Hazia" features a quote from Ursula K. Le Guin's The Farthest Shore (1972). 180 gram, blue/red marbled vinyl; Reverse board sleeve; Includes lyric insert and download card; Edition of 500."Oakland, CA's No Babies return with their second LP, another furiously ecstatic exploration of the overlapping margins of punk, hardcore, and no wave. The pieces we've come to expect are all here: Jasmine Watson's invectives against capitalism, binaries, police; Ricky Martyr's inimitable and always surprising stop-start guitar; horns of all stripes breaking through the noise (Misha Poleschuck on tenor sax, clarinet); a nimble and powerful jazz-influenced rhythm section (Laura DeVeber on bass, Sean Nieves on drums). Their particular brand of composed/improvised noise/music has never been chaos at all (they've always known exactly what they're doing), and this time around the band seems more at one than ever, aided by the crispness and brightness of Jack Shirley's able production. These are walls of sound, something like a runaway train, or a writhing sea serpent, and we are along for the ride. This is music that feels necessary. These are songs that sound vital to survival. We must play them or we will explode. We must play them in order to explode. California in 2018 is a place that feels difficult to survive in. Our friends and neighbors are murdered by the state and it's negligence; our homes could crumble or be stolen from us at a moment's notice; capital is bearing down in new and even more unimaginably cruel ways. The land itself is telling us that we shouldn't be here: fire, mudslides, earthquakes. Someone to Watch Over Me is a reminder of the twin powers of sorrow and strength, noise and melody, anger and joy. 'Joy/ Joy/ Joy/ Joy/ Joy/ Joy/ Joy/ Joy' Watson screams at the end of the album-closing titular song. Joy may be the only way out of this fresh hell - No Babies make joyful noise and for that we should all be grateful." -Grace Ambrose

Lovely
Format: Paperback
Good book, but you know the usual has its fluff, but that’s all Robert Green books. However, the stories are unmatched and if you have a vivid imagination, you’ll be able to understand and comprehend what’s going on ,it’s lovely.

Different, but in a good way
Format: Paperback
I have read all of Robert Greenes previous books, and I always walked away in amazement. I would see the negative reviews those books received, but I would always ignore them and thank God that I did. That compelled me to buy this book once I saw it was released and once again, the negative review bugs are back out. Normally, I wouldn’t write a review on a book because I would rather the reader form their own opinion. This book is different, and I would like to address this for anyone who is a Robert Greene fan or in the process of becoming one.
This book is exactly what every human alive needs to read, which is why I am writing this review to stop the second guessers. It focuses on how our emotions are destructive and how we must be careful about how freely we let them out now. Yes, the style is different from his past books. He goes into narratives about the different emotions, what they can do, and how we can control them while occasionally touching on how they played out in history. For many fans of his previous books, this can be disappointing as we are used to reading thrilling tales throughout history and how they play into the law he is explaining in that chapter with side bar quotes of knowledge from historic figures. I understand why he could not take that approach with this book, as he wanted to focus more on explaining the emotions on a psychological level instead of a historical one.
Is there entertaining and historic tales in the book? Yes, somewhat but nowhere near like his past books. I ask that you open your mind to this book and allow your knowledge to grow in a world where emotional control is decaying. Like he said in this book, don’t let your emotional impulses cloud your judgement. Step back, take a second, reassess and approach this book with a clear mind. You will thank me for it.

In-depth and comprehensive
Format: Kindle
This book was so full of information about the human animal. Is the only wish I had this information earlier in my life. I wish my kids would read it, and perhaps they will. It's very in depth and leaves me reflecting on how I want to change some of my thinking and behaviors like no other book I've read. I wish I belonged to a book club just to discuss it with other readers!
I don't necessarily agree with everything that the author states. But it was a most thought provoking book and I read allot of books! Allot of work went into the writing of this book. Near perfect editing which I appreciated. I am a big fan of human psychology and it held my interest and kept me up too late not wanting to put it down!

Kubrick’s revelatory swan song is full of hidden meanings
An underrated masterpiece, Eyes Wide Shut is a gem layered with meaning. A semi-autobiographical sensibility permeates given the parameters of its production. It’s immaculately shot, edited and designed and offers two central performances from the then married Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Given its theme, their subsequent divorce reflects back on the choppy waters faced by their characters Bill and Alice Harford.
The result is a dream logic of coincidences that ensnare a married couple in self doubt and sexual angst. They live a fairly privileged life in a Manhattan apartment but after a Christmas party at a huge mansion owned by an elite acquaintance, the relationship begins to unravel when both are confronted by the consequences of their projected desires. This prompts the husband Bill on an odyssey through a night time New York and an escalating series of encounters as his wife’s confession about an infatuation with another man eats away at his own inner, unfulfilled desires.
It’s a dark/light solstice of a film, as man and wife chase fatalistic hidden desire, their marriage subject to dissolution and they plunge through a dark night of the soul and emerge into a morning of earnest confession and much soul searching.
In the end, it’s a fascinating watch. Quite revelatory given my initial reception to it many decades ago. But that’s Kubrick for you. It’s essential to revisit his films. Beautifully presented in 4K by Criterion, it asks us to take ownership of our inner desires, to confront them with honesty and discern what is merely a dream from the reality around us. And no, it’s not the erotic thriller the marketing promised. Another desire thwarted or a deliberate obfuscation of the intense psychological drama it really was?
